Missing LiveCycle menu in SFP after install of ALD 9.0

Hi,
My computer was recently reimaged to Windows 7. I installed ALD 9.0. If I open the standalone Form Designer application it is fine, but in SFP (Layout tab), the LiveCycle menu is completely missing!  This means that in SFP I have no access to many features of ALD. Others in my organization have installed it similarly with no problems (same versions of Windows and ALD), and we havn't been able to determine what's different about my system. I have tried a few ideas I've found, such as changing my Windows display settings, but no luck so far.
My desktop support and Basis people are looking into this, but I was wondering if anyone here had experienced a similar problem, and if so, how did you solve it?
Thanks,
Margaret

Hi Ralph,
It isn't solved yet here, but I have a workaround, so I haven't been actively chasing it. The following workaround works in ALD 9.0; I'm not sure if it works in 8.2. (9.0 is available from SAP in the downloads area.)
The workaround is this: if you create or maintain a form, it will work. It's not corrupted in any way. The problem is if you need a palette that isn't displayed. If it isn't accessible via a context menu, what can you do? I solved this by opening the Form Designer as a standalone application (you should have a shortcut icon on your desktop, or look under Programs in your computer), and looking at the menus there (the menus work in the standalone version), and getting the hotkey combinations for the menu items that I need. Unfortunately not all items have hotkey combinations, but all the ones I've needed so far do. Then close the standalone, go back into SAP and open the layout in SFP, and use the hotkeys to open whatever palette you need.
Finally, to get the form properties page, you can: select an object on your form; go to the Value tab in the object palette; there is a link labeled "Form Level Validation Settings...". This link will open the properties dialog, and you can set target version and other properties there.
I hope this helps. But I sure hope someone comes along with a real solution - this workaround will let you work on a form, but it's kind of a pain!

  • Menu items dimmed after installing latest security update

    has anyone else seen this problem? after installing the latest security update 2008-02 on my macbook, file menu and other items are dimmed (grayed out) after a restart. i have to right click on the desktop to bring up the contextual menu before the menu items become available. after that, the machine works as expected. the problem does not exist on my intel imac, which has identical software installed. it's more an annoyance than a big problem, but does anyone have a clue about how to fix it? i've tried trashing preference files for the finder, but that didn't seem to work. thanks in advance.

    well, i couldn't figure it out, so i reinstalled leopard and updated it to 10.5.2 with the latest security update and everything is working normally. something must have been broken in my previous set up.

  • Missing MPEG-2 Codec even after installing 6.0.1 update Mac

    When I installed CS6, the Mpeg-2 codec was never installed in Media Encoder. I found a note on the web to install the 6.0.1 update for AME, but even after doing that, there still is no MPEG-2 codecs available.
    Any of the presets that encode for DVD will fail with an error.
    Is there a fix?

    What CS6 suite did you install?  Certain suites and products install a limited list of export formats for AME, for example Flash Pro or the Design & Web suite.  If you have Premiere CS6 you should have a full list of exporters tho', including MPEG-2.  If that's the case, make sure you also update Premiere to 6.0.1.
    If uninstalling and reinstalling CS6 doesn't work, you may want to check if there are any pre-release versions of Adobe products on your system and uninstall those, and also try running these cleaning scripts.
    BTW, other users have reported problems with missing exporters, here one thread with a workaround that has helped...

  • Missing SENT & REPLY email msgs after installing Security Update 2006-008

    I'm using Mail Version 2.1 (752/752.2) to handle my Mac.com and Comcast email traffic.
    Today I realized that I cannot access/find any of my outgoing email messages sent prior to January 2, 2007. Any emails that I sent prior to that date are missing from my "SENT" mailbox(es). Also, whenever I click on the "Reply" icon next to an incoming email that I answered (prior to 1/2/07) a window pops up with the following message:
    "Mail was unable to find your response to the message “(fill in the blank)”. You may have deleted the message."
    I am 100% certain that I did NOT delete any of these sent messges.
    Coincidentally (?) I installed Security Update 2006-008 (PowerPC) on January 2, 2007 as well. Did this update cause my sent messages to be deleted? Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone have any suggestions to recover/find my missing emails?
    Thanks!

    I’ll be out for several ours. If Spotlight cannot find those messages, it probably means that they’ve indeed been deleted for some reason. In that case, if you don’t have a backup, your only option would be to try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

  • Missing/inconsistent/wrong album art after installing iTunes 10

    Ever since I installed iTunes 10, weird things are happening with the album art in my iTunes libraries and across my iPods and iPhone.
    Before the update, most of my library had album art -- in fact, I had gone to the trouble of pasting it into the individual songs so that it would be "embedded" in the file.
    It's still there in the library, but not on my phone or iPods, random tracks are missing artwork, or display artwork from a different track.
    Makes no sense, or at least I haven't been able to figure out what the commonality is with the affected tracks. Anyone else seen this?

    If all your music is in iTunes, you could try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings
    Alternatively if your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
    4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.

  • Tools menu is missing items I am expecting after I install extensions and other oddities

    In the process of installing and customizing Firefox 3..6.4 on a new laptop, I noticed that when I expand the Tools menu, I do not see items for a number of the extensions I installed, which I see in Firefox on my old system.
    For example, I installed the "PDF Download" extension and did not see a selection for "PDF Download - Options" in the Tools menu. I installed quite a number of extensions and in summary, the Tools Menu never changed one bit.
    A different example. After I installed the Launchy extension. I went to customize my tool bar but the button for Launchy was not available to add to my toolbar.
    Yet another example of strangeness was after I installed IE Tab. When I right-clicked on a link the "Open link in IE Tab" did not show up in the menu..
    I tried doing a clean uninstall of Firefox following instructions from several websites and then reinstalling Firefox. Regardless of what I did, I was unable to see the expected items in the Tools menu after installing my selected extensions.
    Things start to get weird. I performed a clean uninstall of Firefox 3.6.4 and downloaded and installed Firefox 3.5.10 and proceeded to install all of the extensions I had installed on my other system. Most of the items I was expecting to see in the Tool menu were there, BUT there were several lines that were blank which did not do anything when I selected them.
    I was able to determine that they were related to the AdBlock Plus, downthemall! and fireftp extensions. Once I uninstalled them, the empty lines in the menu disappeared. I tried reinstalling them one by one to see if any of them would appear correctly in the menu, but adblock plus and downthemall did not. I left FireFTP installed and left adblock plus and downthemall! uninstalled.
    I then upgraded from 3.5.10 to 3.6.4 to see if all of the Tools menu items would remain. They did remain.... I then tried to install adblock plus and downthemall! but there was no change to the Tools menu, considering that in Firefox 3.5.10 I was getting empty lines in the tools menu for where I should see "Adblock Plus Preferences" and "DownThemAll! Tools".
    Not sure what is going on here, but something odd is definitely going on here. I have not tried to install any other extensions, but my gut instinct is that I will see more issues when I install new extensions.

    I had a similar problem and could not get FireFTP to show in the Tools menu and did as someone else suggested (amongst other things), I 'Disabled' the ZoneAlarm Toolbar through 'Add-ons' on the Tools menu and presto FireFTP appeared on the Tools menu after restart. Good luck

  • New Bitmap missing from context menu after installing photoshop

    After installing photoshop CS6 from CD onto Windows 7x64; my context menu > New > bitmap is no longer available.  registry settings are intact and I've used Bridge ro reassociate .bmp with mspaint but the option still does not appear.  The installation of photoshop is the only change to the computer in several months.
    I can workaround by creating new txt files and changing the extension but this adds a step to a (non photoshop related) workflow that's been in place and worked well for years.

    I don't know why Photoshop would kill the system default entry for new bitmap - possibly because it has associated itself with that file type.
    First thing to look at - start Adobe Bridge CS6, go into the Edit - Preferences - File Type Associations dialog, and see if you can re-associate MSPAINT.EXE with the BMP format.  That may correct the issue, but I can't say for certain as I don't want to try it here and change my own setup.
    I don't use the New context menu functionality for making new bitmaps myself, but when I looked to see what shows up in my New context menu, I found this:
    Choosing the IrfanView BMP File entry led to this:
    If you can't recover the old functionality via the Bridge settings, it may be that you can install the freeware viewer IrfanView and have it associate itself with the BMP file type.

  • BIOS setup menu is missing in my G580 after installing fedora....

    Dear sir,
    I bought a Lenovo G580 [59337032] laptop about a month ago.
    It had no OS installed. I installed Fedora 17 in it.
    But after installing Fedora, I can't be able to access the BIOS setup menu by pressing F2.
    And also my boot order rearranged.
    While pressing F12 during boot, the boot devices list appears.
    But the first entry is Fedora, 2nd is Ethernet, 3rd is HDD, 4th is DVD drive.
    I found a similar problem in this forum. But the solution [disconnect the HDD and press F2 during boot]
    of that problem did not work in my case.
    I also deleted the recovery partion of lenovo.
    My BIOS version is 62CN34WW
    How can I fix my BIOS? 
    Now my OS is Windows7.

    Dear Sirs!
    Have the absolutely same problem with one difference - installed OS was Ubuntu 9.04.
    According to recomendation HDD mode was setted as "сompatible" (IDE). After rearranging
    disk to 3 parts: /, /swap and /user/home and setting up system I have find that BIOS setup
    are unaccessible and system won't boot up (Non system disk error).
    From LiveCD and USB, both Ubuntu and Windows XP SP3 system boots and work fine,
    HDD read/write accesible.
    Local serviceman told, that they have no possibility to reprogram BIOS flash by themselves
    and it will take 2-3 month to obtain new motherboard or whole laptop for exchange. This is
    absolutely unacceptable for me, because my job depends on the health of the laptop.
    Laptop Lenovo G580, BIOS version 62CN34WW
    Thanks in advance for cooperation!

  • Programs missing from menu after install?

    Hey guys just got my install up and running, using Cinnamon desktop.
    So, after installing a program via pacman it wont populate in my menu until I reboot. For instance chrome, I can launch it from the terminal but can find it when I search for it under applications, once I reboot its right where it should be.
    any ideas, I like to not reboot every time I install a package.

    I don't use Cinammon so I can't test it, but maybe you can just log out and log back in?  I know it isn't a solution but it should be quicker than rebooting.

  • Missing InDesign plug-ins after installing on new machine running WIN 7

    After installing Adobe InDesign CS3 (version 5.0) on a new computer running Windows 7 Professional, InDesign cannot open a file I created 30 days ago on a machine running the same version of InDesign and Windows XP Professional.  I repeat, there have been no changes in InDesign versions !!
    The error message indicates a boat load of plug-ins are missing.  The first error message indicates WORLDREADY.RPLN and CONDITIONALTEXT.RPLN were missing.  After clicking OK, the second error message indicates these plug-ins are missing: ASSIGNMENTS.RPLN, TEXT.RPLN, SPREAD.RPLN, MASTERPAGE.RPLN, IMAGE.RPLN, TEXTATTRIBUTES.RPLN, GENERICPAGEITEM.RPLN, TEXTWRAP.RPLN, CJKTEXTATTRIBUTES.RPLN, SCRIPTING.RPLN, LINKS.RPLN, INCOPYSHARED.RPLN, XLM.RPLN, CJKGRID.RPLN, TOC.RPLN, INDEXING.RPLN, HPERLINKS.RPLN, PACKAGEANDPREFLIGHT.RPLN, WORKGROUP.RPLN, APPFRAMEWORK.RPLN, and DOCUMENTFRAMEWORK.RPLN.
    From the Help menu within InDesign, I click Updates.  A series of updates for all my Adobe software were installed, bringing inDesign CS3 to version 5.0.4 yet
    InDesign still refuses to open my previously created file.
    The only other suggestion your help files suggest is upgrading my inDesign software to CS5 to which my company will not agree.
    HELP !!!!

    The file properties are shown in the attached screen shot indicating InDesign CS3 was used not CS4 or CS5.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

  • Firefox desktop and start menu shortcuts were hidden after install - why?

    Hi
    I just installed Firfox 5 and after installing both the desktop shortcut and the start menu shortcut were marked as hidden in windows.
    Anyone else experienced this and have any ideas what could have caused this. It was rather confusing.
    I'm running on a brand new laptop (Dell XPS-17) running Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit). The only candidate I can think of is the computer came with McAffee, which I haven't used in years. It was appallingly bad back then but thought I'd give it a chance as Dell gave me 15months free.
    Thanks
