Firefox 6 on Windows XP SP3 does not close properly after checking if plugins are up to date.

After doing Tools > Add-ons > Plugins > Check if plugins are up to date, Firefox process will not exit after closing Firefox.
I can close the window, but Firefox process does not exit. New window does open if I click Firefox icon to launch it. After reboot Firefox complains that some tabs could not be opened, as if it had crashed because of reboot.

i deleted the rdf and now the first window only (and any tabs in it) are maximised. i found this in the rdf
<RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#main-window"
screenX="4"
screenY="4"
width="1008"
height="461"
sizemode="Normal" />
i tried changing normal to maximised; no effect. either i need also to change the numbers (to match a maximised window) or ff ignores this. i want to be able to open different sites in different windows, and not have to maximise them manually. ff never used to be broken, why break this? what possible security flaw was fixed by screwing up ff to never open maximised unless u hack it or delete certain config files?

TestStatnd operatore Interface does not close properly

Hi
I am using LabVIEW 8.2 and TestStand 3.5. I use the default Operatore Interface (full featured) provided by NI. The TestExec.exe does not close properly when I exit the application. Everytime the process is running in windows. I had to use Windows Task Manager to kill the TestExec.exe manaully.
Is there a fix for this?
Thx
Abdulla

Hi,
Do you start any new executions either from within your sequences or from within a step that you are not closing properly?

My Iphoto does not work properly after downloading Maverick. How can I fix it ?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you mean by not working properly? Explain in detail.
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Report window does not close properly when using openDocument

XI R2 InfoView
Windows 2003 server
IIS
IE7
We have been experimenting with the use of openDocument and have managed to achieve what we wanted but have one small problem. When the document is retrieved it is opened in a new browser window. When Close is selected from the drop-down Document menu the document is closed but the window shrinks to approx 8.5cm x 6 cm and remains open.
A similar thing happens when we use the Preview button to view a document in the CMC, except in that case the document does not close and closing the browser window leaves a button on the Windows taskbar. There doesn't appear to be a related window as it cannot be restored but you have to right click and select Close to get rid of it.
Any ideas what is causing these problems and how we can get round them?

Anne,
There are some parameters in opendocument (for ex. sWindow) that can help control certain things, have you tried employing anything like that? What I find frustrating is the behavior of opendocument based on whether you're running Infoview or WebI -- each product, using the same exact opendocument syntax yields different results. Based on the sample code below, what I'm seeing with Infoview is the same browser instance is used for calling the child report, however, in WebI, a new browser instance is started and the child report is rendered in Infoview. In my case, when running within WebI and getting a new browser instance in Infoview, and then using the "Document", "close" workflow, the second instance is exiting and I'm back to the previous browser. Staying within Infoview entirely through the process, when closing the child report I get brought back to the folder list page. Who's to know?

TestStand Simple OI does not close properly

Hi there.
We have build a test system that is running TestStand 4.2 and the code modules are created with LabVIEW 9.0. The SW is running on a PC with Windows XP.
We are currently using TestStand Simple Operator Interface (LabVIEW version) to run the tests, and it is with the Operator Interface that we are having a problem.
If we use the TestExec.exe file that came with the TestStand installation everything works fine. But we need to make some modifications to OI and if we open the project file and recompile the OI, then the OI will not close properly. It seems to shutdown the testengine and stop execution of the VI, but the window does not disappear until we move the mouse.
When I open the project file LabVIEW informs me that the project was last saved in version 7.1.1 and we are now running 9.0.
Can anyone tell me what is holding the window on the screen until there is activity on the mouse?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I was looking through TestStand 4.2 known issues, and I found this:
ID# 148697
LabVIEW User Interface might hang when using LabVIEW events
A LabVIEW User Interface that registers ActiveX callbacks and uses an event structure might hang when the user interacts with a LabVIEW control or indicator. The hang is rare, but when it occurs, TestStand User Interface (UI) Controls remain responsive, but all LabVIEW User Interface elements appear frozen.
Workaround: Activate another application and reactive the LabVIEW User Interface.
Not exactly the same as I am experiencing but sounds similar - Does anyone know more about this issue?

IOS 7.1.2 Clock does not move properly after screen blocking

Please help! Clock on my iphone 5 does not work properly. It does not move or stays behind, every time I am blocking the screen. How can I fix it

Hello r-engineer,
Given the iPhone is not getting past the Terms and Conditions prompt I'm wondering if it is having issues connecting to the update servers.
As suggested in this article, try restarting the iPhone, try a different network, then try with iTunes.

Windows XP SP3 does not recognize iPod Classic

I have an older computer with Windows XP SP3 and iTunes 10.2.2. iTunes does not recognize (load) my iPod Classic (160Gb model) when I plug it in. The iPod lights up and charges fine, but it does not appear in the left menu bar in iTunes.
I have an old iPod Shuffle that loads into iTunes just fine.
I have tried a number of remedies:
Updated the computer to XP Service Pack 3.
Completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice.
Reset the iPod Classic several times.
Tried plugging the iPod into different USB ports on the computer.
My music library is on an external drive, so I was able to borrow a computer (Win7) and use it to load the music into my iPod. But this isn't a permanent solution.
Does anyone know of a potential fix that I haven't considered?
Thanks in advance.

Try restarting your Apple Mobile Device Service, kent:

Firefox does not close properly making reopening later impossible without rebooting computer.

I live in Texas and my sister lives in Georgia. We are both experiencing problems with closing Firefox. It appears to close properly but when I try to reopen later in the day, my computer tells me that it is still running in the back ground and cannot be reopened. I tried upgrading to the latest version but the problem persists. When I go into Task Manager, I can't find an entry for Firefox to close out.

Press '''CTRL+SHIFT+ESC''' to open Task Manager, go to the '''Processes '''menu, right click on '''firefox.exe''' and choose '''Kill Process'''.
When you finish a browsing session, go to '''File '''| '''Exit '''to close it if the problem persists.
Try disabling the McAfee Virtual Technician plugin via '''Tools '''| '''Add-ons''' | '''Plugins'''.

If the problem persists in spite of the above steps, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Firefox 29 does not close properly

Since upgrading to Firefox 29, Firefox no longer closes properly. Error message says something like "process is running, close process or restart system". This began immediately after upgrading to Firefox 29. Running Windows 7 Professional (SP1). Firefox 28 worked fine. No changes other than to upgrade Firefox. Cannot keep restarting my system to use this browser. Will have to switch to an alternative if this bug isn't fixed. Have used Firefox from the beginning but this is a deal breaker. Hope you can fix it. No time for workarounds and inspecting plug-ins. The problem clearly lies with this version of Firefox.

hello, unfortunately this is currently a bug in the current firefox version when you have set your history to be cleared at firefox shutdown (under options > privacy) - that is investigated and in the process of getting fixed by mozilla's developers with a high priority.

Elements 10.0 does not close properly

New install of PSE 10.0. Istalled on an i7-920 with Win7 x64. When I exit out of the program, the process, Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe *32 remains running. It does not matter how I try to exit PSE, the Red X, File Close, File Exit, all options leave that process running in the task manager.
PSE will not re-start until I end the still running process in Task Manager.
I must say, that this problem along with PSE crashing periodically, does not leave a good taste.
Any idesa how to get PSE to Close?

I have the same problem:

I tryied the direct link, the first time it was no change (but I hadn't done a restart of the computer, after a restart it stated that some files were missing when trying to start directly with the Editor.exe application.
I saw in my folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10 that I had to VLC files in that folder, is that the same in your folder HighDriveVideo? if that application could be in conflict with PSE?

Satellite L300D-13S - CD/DVD drive does not close properly

Hi,
I have the L300D-13S about one week.
Today and for a short while last Sunday the DVD drawer will not stay closed.
I have restarted a few times and tried putting discs in but it still ejects and doesn't read the discs.
I installed Norton 360 Version 2.0 the day I got it, I really don't know a lot about computers and I am hoping it's simple enough.
I have checked the control panel and checked all the settings and they all seem fine.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Hi
In my opinion its a mechanical CD/DVD drive problem and you should contact the ASP in your country for a check.
I mean your warranty must be valid because this notebook does not seem to be old.
So ask the ASP and maybe the CD/DVD drive must be replaced.
Bye

Finder does not run properly after starting up [Mountain Lion]

I've installed MountainLion from Snow Leopard 10.6.8
My Mac is Macbook7,1 (Macbook White) Intel Core 2 Duo
When the installation finish, it seems like Finder does not run. I have to click on the Finder icon on the Dock to make it run.
And then I got some of problem after that
1. When I Click "About This Mac", nothings happen.
2. When I Click "Restart...", "Shutdown..." or "Sleep", nothings happen. So, I have to Shutdown or Restart my Macbook from "Login Window..." only.
3. Some of my settings in "System Preferences" do not be saved. Such as Trackpad settings (I can't "Tap to Click" in every time I start up my Macbook, I have to use physical click instead.) and Spotlight Hotkey settings (When I switch the Language, the Spotlight is popping up.)
I'm not sure what is the cause of these problem.
Could anyone help me please.
Thank You.

I forgot to mention (and add a new level of strangeness) that Mail is retreiving all of my messages from my personal (AT&T) account without issue.
And I just discovered an even bigger problem: all of my emails from my Sent and other folders from my work account are completely gone!
I may have no choice but to revert to my Lion system as of yesteday, before I installed ML.

HT1414 Linksys webcam does not view properly after upgrading to ios6

I upgraded my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 to the new ios 6. Now when I go to view my linksys web cams they do not view properly. I see the camera view for a few second, but then it goes blank. I have another iPad 2 which I did not upgrade and am still able to view with the old iOS. Seems like the new iOS 6 did something, but not sure why it will not work with the new iOS.
I access the site through the web browser.

Same problem. I two nights ago I upgraded to IOS6 on my iPad2 and can no longer call up my LinkSys cams in Safari. My iPod Touch 4 is still on IOS5 and no problem viewing cams in Safari.
I am still in Lion on my iMac but last month upgraded to Safari 6. I then lost the ability to view my cams in Safari. I went back to Safari 5.1.7 and then no more problems.
Obviously this is a Safari error. Until this is fixed, I will not upgrade to Mountain Lion.
I spoke to Apple last night and the tech said he will contact engineering. He took detailed notes so let's hope for the best.
If you need to view your cams on your devices, investigate iCam by SKJM or LiveCams Pro by Eggman Technologies. Both apps do way more than just viewing your cams. I have been using iCam for about a year for security reasons. Your cams can be set up to record on motion where images will be stored on your devices AND Dropbox.
iCam, however, is slightly difficult to set up (and sometimes maddening) but lots of info on their site as well as direct response to any problem by email. Some idiosyncrasies but hey it's only $5 and does provide security when you leave your home. Not to mention all your cams on one page if all you want to do is look at them.
