May have deleted HP files as desktop will not open.

Our HP printer began to pack up so we decided to buy a new Canon Printer which I installed on our ethernet desktop and also on my wife's wifi laptop.  I then  uninstalled our HP Photosmart C4180 printer from our desktop   I used the uninstall within the HP folders such as solution centre but some folders  for the printer/scanner remained so I used the control panel uninstall.
Since then the desktop switches on but does not start up.  I fear that I may have deleted some HP files needed by my  desktop.  Havng said that I also removed the printer files from my wife's laptop in a similar way and that works ok.  
How do I check if I have some key folders missing?  Bear in mind that the desktop does not start up currently i.e screen message is no signal and the orange disk light on the desktop does not blink as it used to.   Alternatively any other constructive ideas now to overcome the issue? 

Are the fans working when you turn the computer on?
If you can boot into Safe Mode and select a system restore point prior to when the problems started.  See this, if it says Windows 7 on the right, click the arrow down and select Vista:

  • HT4943 My magazine will not open on iPad.  It will open on iPhone. Tried deleting on iPhone, but still will not open on iPad. Running latest ios6.

    Magazine ( Dirt Bike mag ) will not open on iPad.  It will open on iPhone. Tried deleting on iPhone, but still will not open on iPad. Running latest ios6.  Used to work on iPad. Seems to try to open then goes back to main iPad screen. Perhaps began acting up when updated and cleaned up iPad or when recently installed on iPhone5. It works on iPhone now, but no longer on iPad. Deleted from iPhone, but still no workie. Downloaded from cloud back to iPhone. Works there, but not iPad.

    What are the attachments? If they're a file type the ipad can't natively open then you could have issues and may need an app to handle them.

    Hi,
    The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
    You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.
    DNG  Converter 8.8

  • SplashID Desktop will not open

    I am having a problem with SplashID desktop. I have installed it per the instructions at SplashData Version 4.6.1 which says it is compatable with Tiger (OS 10.4.11) but it will not open. It bounces a few times and then gives me this error "The application SplashID quit unexpectedly" with options to close, report or reopen (none of which help).
    I have contacted SplashData support who have repeatedly told me to rename the SplashID folder to .old and delete the .pst file in the library. I have tried this numerous times and have gone as far as deleting everything on my system that has anything to do with SplashID and then re-installing my OS. Still I get the same error.
    I am running OS 10.4.11 on an PowerPC G4. I have the iPhone version of SplashID which works fine. I also have an old version of SplashID desktop (which I have also removed to test) that I used with my Treo before getting my iPhone and it works fine.
    Please, any suggestions would be deeply appreciated. I would really like to be able to sync my iPhone app to my desktop app.

    Hi,
    This forum is for iPhone related issues, you're probably not going to find the information you need here.
    You should have better luck posting on the SplashData forums http://forum.splashdata.com/ or maybe here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=758

  • PDF files on FTP will not open correctly

    Our PDF files open fine from local hard disks, and http locations.  However, We are having trouble opening PDF files from a FTP server.  After double-clicking on the file, the Adobe 'grey' background loads, and nothing else.  At first time it opened fine in all computers, but afterwards it will not open. If we download the files from the server, the same file opens fine. We have tried in different OS like XP, Windows 7, windows 8 with different browsers. same problems occurred.
    In all cases, the installed adobe reader was Adobe Reader 9 and above(9, 10&11). After we got one solution that to disable "Protected mode" in reader settings. If we disable protected mode, it is fine.
    But the issue is, we have to provide those PDf files to our customers through our website. So we cannot disable it in customer's pc. Any alternate solution for this problem?
    Why this problem occurs? How we can overcome from this error?

    I cannot reproduce this problem with Reader 11.0.2 in Firefox 20.0.1 or IE8 on Windows XP (Protected Mode enabled).
    The document I am accessing is ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/win/5.x/enu/reader.pdf
    I have no problems access it mutliple times.

  • NEWLY DOWNLOADED DESKTOP WILL NOT OPEN IN XP ....HELP

    I have been using my m505 on a new XP machine for 6 months. Suddenly the desktop would not open. I suspect this was caused by an automatic Windows update. I went on Palm site and downloaded the new software. This also will not open. It starts up initially and even begins to open with the frame of the desk top but stops running. Can anyone offer suggestion??
    Post relates to: Palm m505

    try editing the compatibility of your palm desktop software.
    right click on the icon > select properties > click compatibility tab > **check compatibility mode and select Windows 2000 > click apply then Ok.
    also, check the settings of your firewall/antivirus, it's possible that they are block.

  • Have upgraded to 6.0 but will not open

    please help!
    i have just upgraded to itunese 6.0 and now it will not open. i click on the icon and nothing happens. the hourglass pops up for a second and disappears, nothing appears in my task manager. however when i go to shut down my computer an error message says that itunes is not responding to being shut down.
    my quicktime application opens fine as do the rest of my programs on my computer.
    Why can't I open I-Tunes? Please any help would be appreciated. (Also is there a number for Apple or an email address to contact their customer service.)
    Thank you

    hello rayoung,
    from what i hear, emailing them may not yeild a response, as there are many many folks having issues with the download. Apple does charge for help when you call them, which makes a user forum helpful in times like this.
    Do you have Nortons by any chance? Sometimes programs like that are blocking iTunes from opening
