  • Why does Digital Edition not work in desktop mode for WIndows 8?

    I have installed the most recent version of JAVA and then downloaded and installed Digital Editions.  I can open Digital Editions in desktop mode but when I select a book I cannot turn the page or move to a new page by any means.  The only thing that seems to work is to select a new page and then toggle between full screen and partial.

    I don't think ADE uses Java at all.
    I run it in desktop mode in WIndows 8 and it reads books and turns pages fine: either using the left-right arrow keys,
    or clicking on the forward/back buttons each side of the scrollbar at the bottom of the page.
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0, and even though that isn't a bug for me it may be for you.
    Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • PDF reader in Internet Explorer not working

    Hi All,
    I am having some issues with one of our computers.  When we try to open a PDF document from within Internet Explorer it only gives me the option to download the file and open it with the Adobe Reader Application.  I have verified that I have the check box for the reader checked under the Intenet section of preferences.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled and this does not change.  This is causing an issue with one of our web applications that generates PDFs and is quite annoying.  I have tried using a different profile and I do not have the issue on that profile.  However, rebuilding the profile for this user would be very painful due to all of the custom settings that are in place and I would only like to do that as a last resort.
    Cheers!

    Check to see if the Microsoft download left a Microsoft JVM installed or checked preference. Tools menu > internet options > advanced tab > look for any checked boxes in the Microsoft JVM section. Your Java 2 v1.4.2 checkbox should be near this. Restart.

  • Wired Logitech Mouse not Working on Desktop only in Windows 7

    I used a wireless, but got fed up changing batteries so went back years ago to using a wired mouse when using Windows 7.   However, about 1 in 4 times, in the last few months, when I switch on my computer, the mouse will not let me choose
    if I want to go into my pages or my partners' page.  It just hovers all over the Desktop and I have to switch off the computer and reboot it to get the mouse to work properly.  THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I SWITCH ON THE COMPUTER AND ONLY HOVERS
    IN THE DESKTOP.
    I have used more than one mouse and have put it in different ports and it makes no difference.  Somewhere on my system when the computer starts up, it randomly does not recognise the different wired "mouses" I use.  Otherwise
    I have no problem using the mouse and it generally works fine.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this start-up/desktop mouse problem?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Try to uninstall the USB controller driver:
    1.Open the Device Manager.
    2.Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    3.Right-click every device under the Universal Serial Bus controllers node, and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
    4.Restart the computer, and then reinstall the USB controllers.
    Check the result again.

  • JInititiator 1.3.1.22 and Internet Explorer 7.0 in HTTPS Mode Not Working

    Anyone else having problems running Jinitiator 1.3.1.22 in Internet Explorer 7.0 in HTTPS mode? I'm getting the usual unhelpful java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:oracle.forms.engine.Main error.
    Works okay in HTTP mode. Confirmed that JInititiator and the certdb.txt file were okay by connecting successfully with IE 6.0 in HTTPS.

    Thank you for a very informative response.
    I installed 1.3.1.26 and get the same error when trying to connect to Forms in HTTPS mode.
    I also verified I can download the frmall.jar file directly from the server.
    Here's what I found in the OHS access log:

    Again, I can connect via HTTP mode. This only occurs when connecting via HTTPS.
    Unfortunately, our customers must use HTTPS mode and I fear they will be forced to upgrade to IE7 within the next month.
    Any suggestions you may have are most welcome. Thanks again for your quick response.

  • Why my Firefox is to slow?? Same as GoogleChrome?? Only Internet Explorer is working good! And i want to know Firefox its to slow open web sites! I want to use Firefox but i do no not wht to do is to slow! help me pls!

    Srry ill explain very bad myself there! The problem is at the time the Firefox its connecting to a "X" website, it takes to much time get in on the website =/, I got the same problem with GoogleChrome! But if i use Internet Explorer all works perfectly, but I dont want it to use IE, I want Firefox ^^ and I not know wht to do, I cleaned the registry, cleaned the cache and cookies mmmm I ´ve Avira Antivirus on the computer i did a full system scan and everything looks ok also I did a scan with MalwareBytes` Anti-Malware and all its ok again, I not know wht else to do!!! I turned off the avira and firewall of the windows 7 64 bits and didnt work too. Help me what can I do?

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

  • After a crash and update firefox will not connect to any webpages. Internet explorer is working fine. What's going on?

    Firefox crashed. Closed all my windows - did the auto update thingy with accompanying message. Brought up the windows that had closed as usual - all said "problem loading page". Firefox will now not connect to internet. It's not a problem with my connection etc - internet explorer is working fine. Anyone else have this problem today?

    So, it's been 13 hours now and no answers. From reading the Airport Discussion board "
    Airport has a self assigned IP address, 169.254.175.198 and will not be able to connect to the internet"
    is a very common problem and I find it hard to believe Apple has not responded with a fix. I may have to take it into a Genius Bar and see what they can do but I do not have high hopes.
    You know, I was talking to someone last week and the name Apple came up. "Ah", he said, "the Evil Empire". Their success has made them much more brash than MS ever was.

  • IE 11 does not open in desktop mode on Server 2012 R2

    We've built our first 2012 R2 servers. IE11 will open in metro if it's not set for desktop mode. It will fail in desktop mode. It will however open if you go to an admin command prompt, go to c:\program files\internet explorer and run iexplore.exe. When
    trying desktop mode in the event app logs, event ID 102, task category (101) appears with the message "the program iexplore.exe version 11.0.9600.16518 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed". I have tried everything I've found using Google:
    reset, use software rendering, etc and nothing helped. Any suggestions?
    Ben JohnsonWY

    Hi Ben,
    Your issue can occur if the IE setting is incorrect, or the temp folder need clear up. If you are not choose Always in Internet Explorer on the desktop, IE may use Metro mode. Also disable enhanced protected mode for a test.
    This issue may cause due to some registry problems occurred.
    To resolve this issue, follow the below steps:
    a. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
    b. Type regsvr32 actxprxy.dll in the Open box, and then click OK.
    c. If the command was successfully executed, you will receive the message ‘DllRegisterServer in actxprxy.dll succeeded’ window.
    d. Restart the Internet Explorer
    If the above given steps also did not help then try to disable the antivirus and firewall and try installing Internet Explorer 11 manually.
    Hope it helps.

  • FDF file opening in Internet Explorer--not in Adobe Acrobat Professional XI

    Good morning!
    I have created a form in Acrobat Professional XI and have a submit button that emails that data back as an .fdf file.  This is working as it should.
    However, on some of the returned emails, the .fdf file is opening in Internet Explorer--not in the associated file in  Acrobat Professional XI.
    Is this the default?  Is there a way that I can specify that it always opens in Acrobat?
    I looked on line, and found where you have to associate that type of file with Acrobat
    I have Windows XP
    in My Computer--in Tools, Folder Options, File Types, I have where FDF files are associated with Adobe Acrobat.
    Are there other changes that need to be made?
    We have a work-around--we can import the file data into the form--just takes a little longer.
    I tested this before I posted the form online, and it worked perfect.  Now that it is online, we are seeing some snags...
    As always--Thank you for your help!

    Thank you for your quick response!
    no--it is an fdf file.  Has an .fdf extension.
    One difference that I have noticed that the file that is opening correctly (in acrobat) was sent from a gmail account.  The file that is opening in internet explorer was filled out in Adobe Reader XI from an outlook email.
    This is the window that appears when the file is opened.
    On the Tools--the only items that are accessible from this screen is the AddOnTools--not all the tools sets.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

  • Internet is not working on cellular data after updating 8.0.2 in iphone 5s , wifi connectivity is fine , but no internet connection error message is start blinking even after cellular data is on , please help .

    I am using iPhone 5s , internet is not working on cellular data even after it is on , wifi is working properly . Please help apple team.

    Hello Mario:
    I'm actually surprised that Apple continues to push out 8.02 without addressing these issues. The problem will only anger more users and certainly finger-poking at Airplane Mode isn't the answer. This is an iOS8 code problem and no amount of 'resetting' is providing a reliable fix/solution that sticks.
    These issues with loss of cell connectivity, apps that have lost functionality, etc., which are all directly associated to the arrival of iOS8, are so widespread in the user community and pervasive within individual iPads that it's clear there are significant fundamental problems with this release. Given the problems are so blatant, it's fair to ask the question of how they got by the Apple validation team.
    What is the status at Apple on rolling out a fully V&V'd version to resolve this?  Respectfully, when it comes to some of my more useful apps, my personal iPad has become a paperweight. The user forums are full of these iOS8 complaints for several weeks and there doesn't seem to be a competent answer from Apple.  Even a "We're aware and we're working on it" would be well received.
    Any hope that you can provide will be appreciated. (I'll be monitoring the thread on my Dell laptop because, well, my iPad is i-Inop!).
    Thanks!

    I updated Firefox and now Realplayer can't download any videos( download button in upper right corner of video don't pop up and there is no download option if I right click) if I use Internet explorer it works fine, I also went in to make sure I had it checked to pop up it is?! So it's not just youtube for me its all videos!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == the last firefox update
    ''locking due to the age of this thread''

    haven't tried it myself but saw this earlier in a blog somewhere:
    "try retro installing FF v3.6.3",
    makes sense 'cos I've only been experiencing the same problem with mozilla & realplayer combo since updating to latest FF v3.6.4
    noted that under IE realplayer plugin still works fine, button to 'download this video' comes on as before.....
    from what I read retro install will pick up all your bookmarks etc. do no worries there
    naughty, NAUGHTY mozilla people! you were 'bombproof' until today....what happened? good luck sorting it out though!!!! I still luv you!

  • Internet Explorer not recording scores for SCORMS

    I am having a problem with Internet Explorer not recording the scores for SCORMS developped in Captivate 7.   A Forum in Moodle suggested that the problem is that Internet Explorer always has an error with the instruction DoBeforeUnload.  I can see that this is always causing a problem.  Do you have any suggestions or work arounds for this?

    I am using Captivate 7 to produce the SCORMS, and the courses are hosted in MOODLE 2.5.  The scores are recorded well in google Chrome but not in Internet Explorer. I have been trying out the courses with Internet Explorer 10 and 11 and both produce the same error: 
    A moodle forum suggested that IE10 and IE11 do not like the command DoBeforeUnload, and need the command BeforeUnload. (I have checked the Moodle SCORM API and the commands and scores are being sent.)

  • DX4000 Search in Windows Explorer not working

    I'm the administrator of a 6TB DX4000 which is the NAS at our office of 4 PCs. The Sentinel holds about 25GB of our working data (word, excel, pdf, and other files), which I back-up every 2 days onto a WD My Passport Ultra UDB drive. I can do this using Copy/Paste functions in Windows Explorer. The USB drive can be connected via my PC or, for faster back-ups, via one of the USB ports at the back of the Sentinel (I have configured the USB drive as a shared folder). During and after the backups, everything works well (all of us at the office can save, modify, and create new folders and files). The only problem is that Windows Explorer stops displaying files/folders, also the WE search function stops working for a few hours in all PCs. Thus, we cannot locate files when the search function is not working, which is a big problem for us. This happens irregularly (sometimes after each backup and at times every couple of weeks). I’m quite certain that this issue is being originated by the backup process. I have tried a few things: restarted PCs/Sentinel/Switch/Modem to no avail. All updates have been carried-out. Also, I checked other forums/threads but haven't found a similar problem. Everything is working fine, except that we can’t do searches in WE (also searches don’t work in Word or any other software). Inexplicably, WE starts to work again by itself in full capacity a few hours later. Please let me know if there is a solution to this issue. Thanking you in advance.

    Hi Gramps, Many thanks for your thoughts.  It took me a while to try various ideas, hence my slow response. When Windows Explorer was not working, Remote Desktop Connection was not working either (it was hung-up and would not load further than saying something along the lines of: updating desktop settings).  However, the Dashboard remained operational during this time.  In answer to your query:  Yes, I shared the USB My Passport from the Dashboard when I first set-up the system 9 months ago. Following your ideas, I unshared the drive using the Dashboard.  This took few hours.  Then I rebooted the Sentinel and all the PCs.  I’m glad to report that the WE is now fully operational and that the WE search function is now working.  Also, RDC is working again. I’m beginning to agree with your thoughts that File Indexing is the problem since I have been disconnecting the USB My Passport as soon as the copying of files was completed (thus Indexing may have been incomplete). Please let me know if there is a way of testing if “File Indexing” has been completed. Much appreciated.
