File explorer sometimes opens blank and has to reread drive
Sometimes when I open File Explorer, my files and drives are not listed and it has to reread my boot drive and my other internal drives before it will show everything. This is a fairly recent situation. I never experienced this with WIn 7 or
Win 8.
Any ideas?
My setup is as follows:
Dell XPS 8500 desktop running Win 8.1 (clean install). My boot drive is a Crucial mSata SSD. I also have two regular hard drives for data and backup.
Thanks
Did you try a refresh ?

Publisher - pdf - "This file cannot be opened because it has no pages"
Hi,
I have a Publisher report which works fine as a single page when generated to pdf.
I change the data model to give me multiple pages and insert the entire report content into a repeating frame which correlates with the header data that is definitely present for all records. ceteris parabus.
I preview this in interactive mode - everything works okay.
I preview this in pdf and I get the error; - "This file cannot be opened because it has no pages"
This is on well formed XML with a very modest data set.
Anyone have a fix or a pointer for this please??
thanks,
Robert.Known bug.

On a specific website, when I left click a link it opens but when trying to open the link in a new tab, the new tab opens blank and "javascript:subValue(1)" is seen in the address bar. This website hosts many, many images which I hope to download using a bulk image save addon but those images must first be in separate tabs. Opening these links in new tabs is vital to the process.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

Messages opening blank and getting deleted
hi, i have iPhone 4s. I resently upgraded its OS to iOS 6.
After this upgrade, all the system generated messages in my phone (such as messages from mobile phone operator, flight details, movie details, credit card companies etc.) are opening blank and when i come back to the messages home screen, the message is no longer there.
Is this a bug or some additional setting that i am required to do.I have a very similar issue after upgrading to iOS6.
I can see a preview (2 lines) of all the messages that existed before the upgrade, in Messages app. However, as soon as I open it, the contents disappear. When I go back to message list the message that I tried to open moves all the way down and preview also disappears.
I am able to see the preview only after manually closing the Messages app from springboard and then reopening the app.
Weird issue. The messages that disappear are the one's adverts and info messages mostly from banks, fund houses, credit cards etc. Some of them are really important. hope Apple takes notice. -

I accidently deleated a file from the Elements organizor and from the hard drive. Can I get it back? How to do it?
There's a good chance that you can if you haven't done too much work after deleting it. Typically files are not actually wiped from the hard drive, rather the space they take is marked as free to use by another file if needed. So if it hasn't been used by another file it can be recovered.
Try this program... it will help if you know where the images were stored.

Drive C showing in File Explorer under This PC and as a root namespace
For me Drive C, which I have named C - W10EVM, shows twice in File Explorer's navigation column. I only have the one volume on this VM (C:). I start the window with the command (in a desktop shortcut):
C:\Windows\explorer.exe /expand,C:\
This is what I see:
Anyone know what can be done to hide one or the other of them?
I guess, assuming other drives will show up as root namespaces, that I'd probably prefer to hide This PC. Ideally then I'd only have drive letters and Network in the Navigation pane.
Thanks.

Are you saying that if you open File Explorer you do not see duplication of drive C:? Please show a screen grab of your Navigation pane, as I have done.

Having problems openning PDF files. They open blank?
PDF files open blank.
Think about it: You sign a document and then someone adds some pages to it
and pretends you signed those as well. You wouldn't what that to happen,
would you? Well, with digital signatures it can be prevented.

How can I modify File Explorer to open This PC by default, instead of the new Home view?
The methods that worked in Windows 8.1 no longer work. I tried this method but all that did was mess-up the Home view...
http://superuser.com/questions/819521/how-to-make-windows-10-file-explorer-open-this-pc-by-defaultHi,
First, I have to say, I cannot get direct way to point the File explorer to This PC as in Windows 10. As an alternative method, we can delete some things in 'Home' and attach 'This Pc' into it via Registry key. Make it look like that we open This
PC.
1. Click Windows icon and type regedit in
Search box, and click Regedit to open Registry editor.
2. Right click to export this key for backup: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
3. Click Windows icon and type Folder option in Search box, and click
Folder option to open it.
4. Under View tab, clear the checkbox Hidden extensions for known file types.
5. Copy following lines into Notepad, and save it as Fix.reg on Desktop.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{1CF1260C-4DD0-4ebb-811F-33C572699FDE}]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B}]

6. Double click the fix.reg and Press Yes to apply the changes.
Open the File Explorer again, and you will see the Volumes under Home View

Receive this error when opening explorer in SharePoint 2013 library:
We're having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and try again.
This error happens on the Windows 8.1 client and Windows Server 2012 R2.
Using Windows 8.1 with all updates
Tried IE 11 64bit and 32 bit same result
Server is 2012 R2 datacenter with all updates
SharePoint 2013 foundation with SQL express (out of the box setup)
Web client installed and running on both Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2
Added the site to both server and client in the trusted site area of IE
I did installed the desktop experience on the server 2012 R2 and rebooted. I then checked to see if the webclient service was started and it was. However, I still get the same error from any Windows 8.1 box I use.
Loaded up a fresh copy of Windows 8.1 and still received the same error. Tried again from the SharePoint 2013 Foundation server and still received the same error: We're having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted
Sites list and try again
Please help with any other ideas.OK Everyone,
Here is the answer I came up with and it worked on the client and server both. Procedures for Office 2013 are also in there.
I don’t think “Explorer View” will work until you edit your registry to support non-ssl websites. Not only did MS lock down Office Products, I believe it locked down the
WEBDAV protocol, which is used for “Explorer View”.
There are two configurations you must make.
The first step will fix the Explorer View
The Second step (install SharePoint Designer first) will Fix Designer.
Step 1: Configure WebDAV Redirector on the client
To enable Basic authentication on the client computer, follow these steps:
In Windows Vista or Windows 7, click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.
In Windows 8, hold the Windows key (WINKEY) + F, highlight Apps in the Menu bar, type regedit in the Search box, and then press Enter.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
Type BasicAuthLevel, and then press Enter.
Right-click BasicAuthLevel, and then click Modify.
In the Value data box, type 2, and then click OK.
Note The mapping is as follows:
0 - Basic authentication disabled
1 - Basic authentication enabled for SSL connections only
2 - Basic authentication enabled for SSL and non-SSL connections
Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
Step 2: Update the Registry on the client
Note This step is required for Office 2013 and Office 2010 applications.
On the client computer, add the BasicAuthLevel registry key and an appropriate value. To do this, follow these steps.
Important Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.
Start Registry Editor.
In Windows 8, hold the Windows key (WINKEY) + F, highlight Apps in the Menu bar, type regedit in the Search box, and then press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation,
type the password, or provide confirmation.
In Windows 7 or in Windows Vista, click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, then press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.
In Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate and then click one of the following registry subkeys:
For Office 2010
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Internet
For Office 2013
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Internet
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
Type BasicAuthLevel, and then press Enter.
Right-click BasicAuthLevel, and then click Modify.
In the Value data box, type 2, and then click OK.
Note The mapping is as follows:
0 - Basic authentication disabled
1 - Basic authentication enabled for SSL connections only
2 - Basic authentication enabled for SSL and for non-SSL connections
Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer. -
Error reading/writing file message when opening garageband and/or files
I've been recently getting this message when I open garageband and files
"Error reading/writing file\U201Ccom.apple.garageband.cs\U201D
I've been in and repaired disk permissions and all that it says it is all fine, reinstall garageband and message still comes up, weird.
not only is garageband being a nuisance, Mac OS X 10.6.2 is being a pain when shutting down telling me to restart the computer. This only happened since upgrading to 10.6. No one as yet knows this promble so I'm gonna have to ring apple and see what is going on here.
and also my other problem is that mac doesn't seem as snappy anymore I noticed this before upgrading to 10.6 and made no difference when "cleanly" installing 10.6. I get a colour wheel popping up and i'm having to wait with simple tasks. iMac only 2 years old.i give up with this discussion forum no no one knows anything

My space bar has disappeared when I open safari and been replaced by other keys, does anyone know how this happened?
When you tap in the address field to type the web address, another keyboard pops up without the space bar as no spaces are need when typing the web address. Just tap anywhere on the screen or on the keyboard icon in the lower right corner and the keyboard will go away.
