How can I stop the magic extractor from locking up

This is an issue I've recently started to have. Everytime I use the magic extractor function ir freezes/locks up the program. I do get the status of the extraction process after picking my background & forground, yet when I attempt to preview my photo it acts as if the process is working, but in the end I don't get a preview image of my selection & the program has locked up. I'm running XP with SP3, 3.49 GB of available RAM and 20.8 GB of free space on my drive. The image I am working with is 2592x3888. So I don't believe memory is at issue here.Is there something I'm missing?

  The editor saved prefs often get corrupted. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts. To begin, close Elements.
Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst clicking on the desktop icon for the Editor or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Programs folder. Keep holding down all three keys until you get the settings option.
You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.

    Drudgereport includes JavaScript code that refreshes the page. You could disable JavaScript for the drudgereport site, that will stop it from refreshing. You can do that by installing the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/4922/ YesScript] extension which allows you to block JavaScript on sites that you specify.

  • How can I stop the voice over from my apple tv

    I have just connected my Apple TV which appears to be working ok. How do I stop the interactive voice from speaking.

    I have the 2nd Gen Apple TV and it is where I said. Have you updated yours to the latest firmware/software? I can't see why you are unable to find it otherwise. I will take pictures if you want me to.

  • With the new version of numbers, 3.0, how can I stop the spread sheet from scrolling horizontally without reducing the size?

    With the new version of numbers, 3.0, how can I stop the document from moving horizontally?  When I scroll up or down I find it annoying that the document might shift to the left, and then I have to scroll it back to the right.  The only way I've found to stop it from moving horizontally is by reducing the document down to about 50%, but then I can't read the document.  I prefer having the document set at 125%, but then the bottom horizontal scroll bar shows up, and then the document can shift to the left if I'm not exact with my scrolling up or down.

  • How can I stop the E:/ folder from popping up?

    I would like to know how I can stop the E:/ folder from popping up everytime I perform an action e.g. transfering songs, and deleting songs from library.

    This is likely due to an extension. For example, the Web Developer extension has a setting to open the error console, and some mouse gesture extensions have been known to open the error console.
    To track down what extension is causing this for you, follow the procedure in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  • How can I stop the Downloads folder from constantly reappearing?

    Every time I open or restart Firefox 9, the Downloads folder in My Documents keeps recreating itself. I have downloads set to always ask me where to go, and I have absolutely no need of a special Downloads folder. How can I get FF to stop creating this folder? Annoying to have to delete it every time - and I like FF to do what I tell it to.

  • How can I stop the address bar from auto hiding

    I dislike having the address bar disappear all the time. How can I prevent this.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).

  • How can I stop the swf file from repeating on different web pages

    I have my entire website built and am using a flash
    navigation bar that also has a movie presentation attached to it. I
    uploaded it to every page in my site because it is required for
    navigation. My problem is that the movie plays every time you
    switch to a different page, I only want it to play once on the home
    page, and then just have the flash navigation work on the rest of
    them. I know that there is a way to use cookies to tell the
    computers IP address that is viewing the site not to replay the
    movie if it has already played within the specified time frame. But
    I am not very good with actually inputting code into flash, I am
    new to it. I have seen sample code on another website but I think
    it was referring to the wrong flash version, and it did not specify
    exactly where to put it in. Please help!

    Well I am actually using a template. And the flash video that
    was created is way beyond my ability. So I tried initially to
    separate the two, the intro video, and the navigation. But they are
    intertwined in a way that I do not understand. I do need to do the
    variable thing. I took a flash class in school, and my book does
    not touch anywhere close to this. I know its probably too
    complicated to explain through a forum, but can you recommend any
    resources online or books that would go more in depth with this
    sort if thing. If I can just see the way it works on another site,
    I know that I can do on mine.
    Thank you!!!
    :)

  • How can I stop the mail app from downloading old messages and marking them as new.... repetedly

    I have just bought myself my first ever mac, and i've been having a little trouble with the mail function that comes with it. The first time i connected my mail app to my hotmail adress, all my old mails started coming in and they were all marked as unread. i had like 7000 og them, so it took a while for them all to load. after this i marked them all as read, and it was fine for a couple of days.
    I am not sure what makes all my e-mails load as "new" again and again, but it happens every so often. This is very annoying because i get a little notification at the top of my screen for every "new" e-mail.
    In the beginning i didn't think that much of it, but now it is really starting to annoy me, bacause it has happened so many times, so my question is:
    Have any of you experienced this? And how did you fix it?
    And i am running the OS X version 10.8.2, if that is relevant

    Is it an IMAP or POP account?
    For POP accounts, you can select remove from server under the advanced tab of the account.

  • How can I stop the "other" category from taking up all the remaining space on my iphone 4?

    I have an iphone 4 that is unlocked (when my contract ended, I called AT&T and unlocked the phone since I was going abroad and needed a new carrier) and the "other" category is out of control. It was at about 3GB and I did everything possible to try to remove it - cleared cache, deleted data from apps, deleted messages and voice memos, but nothing worked- it just kept coming.
    I reset the phone and restored from back up, and it seemed to fix the problem. But then I checked it again and the "other" category is steadily creeping up again. It went from 500MB to 3.5GB again in about two hours. It seems to be just trying to take up all of the remaining space available on the phone.
    Is my only option to restore the phone completely and not restore from any of the potentially infected back up data?

    Thanks, Thomas. I can see the data usage by app, but that's the problem- there is nothing that it taking up that much space. The largest ones are these:
    Whatsapp: App size: 61.8MB, Data and documents 108 MB
    Facebook: App size: 91.2MB, Documents and data: 49.3MB
    Photos and camera: 131MB
    I systematically went through and deleted all of my conversations in messages, so I know that there are no photos/ videos hiding there.
    I really think that it's coming from something I can't see, especially since it's still there after resetting to factory settings and restoring from backup.
    There only reason there is 1.75GB of available space is because I deleted all of my music so that at least it wouldn't be over capacity!! This is so frustrating!
