Problem with Fill tool in Windows 7 Paint

I've seen variations on this question (such as http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprogeneral/thread/8afa9277-686a-44e0-b488-e5bee4611cb5/ ),
but none seem to address the specific problem I'm having; namely, that the Fill tool in MS-Paint is disabled and remains that way, no matter what I do. If I open a GIF for editing, no Fill tool. If I select a bounded area, no Fill tool. If
I Select All, no Fill tool.
I'm trying to modify a button face by changing the default color to a gray tone, to produce a "disabled" version. Seems to me this should be the easiest thing in the world to do, but I jest cain't. Ideas?

Hi,
Do you mean that the Fill with color is grayed out in MS paint?
You may check the following:
1. Try the
system restore to go back to a previous status and check the result.
To restore system will preserve all the software and files before the previous restore point. And all of your private date will be preserved.
2. Run
System File Checker tool and see how it works.

Problems With Clone Tool on Windows 7 and Elements 8

The clone tool is exhibiting strange behavior on a friends installation of Elements 8 on Windows 7.
Sometimes the clone tool refuses to clone, other times it will clone in over dark areas but not light areas. We tried resetting to factrory settings. This worked for a while be reverted to the strange behavior after a couple of days.
It's on the correct layer and the mode setting for the clone tool is Normal and when it works in a darker area it will make it even darker but will not darken a very light (white?) area.
Anyone know what's happening?

I guess you have some blending mode other than 'Normal' selected.Click on the top-left corner of tool option bar and choose "Reset Tool".

'onglet' - great, my favorite when visiting restaurants in France!
Anyway, I think you have to activate Advanced tools first:

Sudden problem with fill layers

I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. Until recently, I've had no problem with fill layers. I'd make a selection from the photo, then I'd make a layer of the selection, then I'd go to edit, fill layer, fill with background/foreground color. Then the selection only would be filled. Now, all of a sudden, I make the selection, make a layer of the selection, go to edit/fill layer/fill with background/foreground color, and the whole photo becomes filled with the fill color, and not just the selection. I'm always on the selection layer, not the background or any other layer. I've reset all the tool defaults, and I've even deleted the defaults file, but to no avail. What's happening here? How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Sue

When I tried to help Sue with the inquiry, I was doing so based on what was written and my interpretation of it
then I'd go to edit, fill layer, fill with background/foreground color.
For me that Photoshop Elements 11 Full Editor, Edit Menu/Fill Layer and the issue did not fit.
But if the route were as you have suggested Photoshop Elements 11 Full Editor, Layer Menu/New Fill Layer/Solid Color then everything would fall into place, centering around that option in the New Layer dialog "Use Previous Layer to Create Clipping Mask" being checked or unchecked.
Sue
We look forward to your follow up.
Thank you both.

Problems with shutdown, expose and window switching

Hi there,
Recently I've been having a few issues with OS X. First of all it wasn't shutting down properly -- the menu bar would disappear and it would look like it was going to shutdown, but it never did. I could move down to the dock (on auto-hide) and it would re-appear, at which point I can bring up a terminal window and use 'shutdown' to do the job. On startup I'd reset the PRAM, and then do a disk-check, but the problem keeps coming back.
Subsequently, I've also been having problems with expose and switching windows (i.e. command-tab). Namely, neither of them work. Expose won't fire from either hot corners or the keyboard, and if I re-launch the app from the Apps folder (without trying to kill it first, I should say), it does nothing. Cmd-tab gets interpreted as just tab, and the keyboard shortcut for dashboard also fails (although I can start the dashboard from the dock).
I read in another post about an invalid jpeg in the downloads folder being able to cause the Expose problem (seems like a most unlikely bug?). Anyway, I cleared all pictures from my downloads folder and functionality came back, but now it's gone again. It's really very frustrating as it makes moving between windows a lot more hassle.
Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
TIA,
Mat

This sounds interesting.
Can you post a copy for the rest of us to see?
As for actually helping you, and not just satisfying our curiousity, if you start cutting pieces of the code you will probably end up finding the source of the problem (and we won't have too big a program to handle). Since DSC is a likely suspect, you may want to start there.
Also, are you creating an installer and using that to install? If not, you may wish to try that.

Problem with filling nodes of a context with data

hi,
i've got the following problem with filling a controller context:
the context of the controller looks like:
Context
|-Node1 0..n singleton
|-Subnode1 0..n singleton
| |-SubVal1.1
| |-SubVal1.2
|-Subnode2 0..n singleton
| |-Subval2.1
| |-Subval2.2
|-Val1.1
|-Val1.2
that means every Element of Node1 should have its own Subnode-Elements & Val1-Values
in wdDoInit() of the controller I fill the context like this:
Collection Node1, SubNode1, SubNode2
for (Iterator iter = Node1.iterator(); iter.hasNext;) {
 newNode1NodeElement = wdContext.createNode1Element();
 newNode1NodeElement.set... //setting the values
 wdContext.nodeNode1().addElement(newNode1NodeElement);
 for (Iterator iter2=Subnode1.iterator(); iter2.hasNext;) {
 newSubnode1NodeElement = wdContext.createSubnode1Element();
 newSubNode1NodeElement.set... // setting the SubVal1.x
 wdContext.nodeSubnode1.addElement(newSubnode1NodeElement);
 for (Iterator iter3=SubNode2.iterator(); iter3.hasNext;) {
 newSubnode2NodeElement = wdContext.createSubnode2Element();
 newSubNode2NodeElement.set... // setting the SubVal2.x
 wdContext.nodeSubnode2.addElement(newSubnode2NodeElement);
i've got the impression, that all my SubNodes are filled in the first Node1-Element. is there an error in the code above? because in the first place, i see every values in the first Element of Node1-views and if i navigate to the next Element of Node1, every views are empty.
for every Node (Node1, Subnode1, Subnode2) i've got an own view, that maps its context to the corresponding Node of the controller context, e.g for the SubNode1-View:
Context Context
| ....
|- ViewNode ---> ..|- Subnode1
|- SubVal1.1 ---> .. |-SubVal1.1
|- SubVal1.2 ---> .. |-SubVal1.2
in these views, i navigate through the nodes via
wdContext.nodeViewNode().move...()
in the SubNode1-View i see the SubVal1.1, SubVal1.2 (that's what i want) and additional SubVal2.1, SubVal2.2 (that's what I don't want...)
kind regards, achim
ps: i've studied the Master/Detail-Tutorial and i think the choice for cardinality 0..n and type singleton is correct in my case.

hmm, let's look at the code:
for (Iteration Node1) {
newNode1NodeElement = wdContext.createNode1Element();
wdContext.nodeNode1().addElement(newNode1NodeElement);
for (Iteration SubNode1) {
 newSubNode1NodeElement = wdContext.createSubNodeXElement();
 newNode1NodeElement.nodeSubNode1().addElement(newSubNode1NodeElement);
 for (Iteration SubNode1.1) {
 newSubNode1.1NodeElement = wdContext.createSubNode1.1Element();
 newSubNode1NodeElement.nodeSubNode1.1.addElement(newSubNode1.1NodeElement);
 for (Iteration SubNode2) {
 newSubNode2NodeElement = wdContext.createSubNode2Element();
 newNode1NodeElement.nodeSubNode2.addElement(newSubNode2NodeElement);
is there an error in creating the SubNode1.1-Node (bold line)?
if the code is correct, perhaps it's only a viewing problem:
i use views that point on every node and display the values in that node. if i move in the view for Node1 to another node, the values for SubNode1 point to the correct values too, but the values for SubNode1.1 still stay on the old values. is the move of a grandfather node not correctly propagated to his first child?

Problem With Captivate 4 and Windows 8

Hi,
I've a problem with Captivate 4 on Windows 8 projects :
The mouse is not tracked.
I've applied the last patch for this version (11/15/2011).
Is there another patch for this ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi there
I know this will come off as sounding snarky, but please know it's honestly not intended that way,
Windows 8?
I never was able to make Captivate 4 run successfully on Windows 7. So I'm not the least bit surprised to hear it has issues with Windows 8!
Personally, I'm thinking you are due for an upgrade to Captivate if you want it to work on Windows 8. But then again, I'm not even certain if Captivate 6 is Windows 8 compatible.
Cheers... Rick

I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 last August 2013 and having problems with installing it on Windows 8.1. Why am I having this problem?

You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account. If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

Problems with filling out PDF forms

We have problems with filling out PDF-forms. Aotomatic filling of forms is deactivated and we use the Adobe Reader 11.0.05. The problem is: After some time the inputs are wrong put down in the form. For example: I write 120 and in the form stands 125. We have already extinguished the cache. Thanks for your help in advance.

You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.

Problem with national characters on windows client

Hello there,
I'am having problem with national characters on windows client.
All national data stored in NVARCHAR2 colums, applications (.net) works fine,
but in sqlplus:
select city from test_table;
- everything ok, sqlplus shows national characters
select dump(N'<national symbols>') from dual
- returns
Typ=96 Len=12: 0,191,0,191,0,191,0,191,0,191,0,191
select * from test_table where city = N'<national symbols> '
- always returns nothing
As i understand the problem in
sql query text (and national literals) convertion
to servers "WE8ISO8859P1" encoding, Is it possible
to solve the issue?
Thanks in advance
PS.
Console in right mode (chcp=1251)
sqlplus shows russian messages well
Server (oracle 9 on solaris):
select * from nls_database_parameters
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
NLS_SAVED_NCHAR_CS WE8ISO8859P1
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN

NLS_RDBMS_VERSION 9.2.0.6.0
Client (windows server 2003, oracle client 10):
NLS_LANG = RUSSIAN_CIS.CL8MSWIN1251

N'<national symbols>', being part of an SQL statement, will be converted to the database character set (WE8ISO8859P1) before being parsed. Only if the client and the database are both 10.2 or higher, the client can encode the literal appropriately so that it survives this conversion.
In earlier versions, you can do the encoding yourself. Instead of the N'<national symbols>' literal use the UNISTR function: UNISTR('\xxxx\yyyy\zzzz'), where U+xxxx, U+yyyy, U+zzzz are Unicode code points of your national characters.

Problems with Pro Tools 8, is it the software?

Hello, I know this is "Apple Discussions", but since I'm using Pro tools 8 with the new macbook pro, I might get some answers here. I recently bought pro tools 8, I already have logic though, but wanted to be in the pro tools world too so, the thing is that every time I use Pro Tools 8 with the digi 003, the session Im working on will stop with just a few plugins, and man this happens a lot, on the other hand is that nothing happens when I use the digi 003 with Logic 8, I mean, I could have like 20 plugins and It would not stop at all. Can anyone identify with this problem with pro tools 8, Because people tell me that on pro tools 7.4 that doesnt happen at all.
Thank you...

PT8 is much better with plug ins than PT7x, but is not in the league of Logic. I am a huge PT fan and use both Logic and PT8, and as much as I love the look and superior interface of PT8, Logic is like an ugly old car that goes 200 MPH. It's a performance beast. I've had ridiculous amounts of plug ins in Logic with not a whimper from the program.
PT8 is much more sensitive to things like whether you are using Firewire drives to record to (as opposed to internal SATAs on a Mac Pro), and many 3rd party plugs cause PT much grief. For high track counts and lots of plug ins, Logic is still King Kong.

Has anyone else had problems with their RAW editing window?

I'm having real problems with my RAW editing window (the one that automaticaly pops up when you open a raw file). I've opened several images, but when I click on the different thumbnails on the left hand side the large preview image in the center doesn't change. Obviously I need to be able to see this to make the required changes.
Any ideas/help you be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi Kate,
I haven't yet been able to replicate your problem. Will you please describe your workflow? Are you simply selecting multiple files from your computer and double clicking to automatically open in Camera RAW?
Also curious, with all of your images open in the RAW editing window, what happens when you use the arrows near the bottom right? Does your image change?
Cheers,
Michael

Problems with Comodo Kill Switch, Windows Services & Bitlocker Encryption on Asus N56VZ

Hi All,
So recently I found myself stuck in a different scenario than before, and after many hours researching and efforts to fix this I still find myself stuck yet with a few options still to fix.
What is the problem?
So as a security cautious user when i first got to Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit I encrypted both the C and D drive (Split the main disk) to protect myself and my family. Unfortunately that has not been very helpful with the way in which booting and running from
either external USB devices or CD/DVD works, not allowing myself to at all.
My usual security suit I use is Comodo Internet Security, which additionally comes with Comodo Kill Switch. Whilst using the application instead of stopping one of the TCP connections I was meant to I accidently stopped an Windows Explorer connection.
For some reason since then Windows Explorer, nor most windows apps or services themselves will run. For example msconfig will run but sfc /scannow or mmc will not, whether in safe mode or normal mode.
What Caused the Problem?
Cannot 100% say
What I Think Caused the Problem?
Myself running Comodo Kill Switch stopping a vital server connection with Windows Explorer that messed up alot. Or a potential Virus unknown how cannot fully scan system as wont boot externally or run many apps.
Additional Info
Asus Webcam is Disabled on Purpose
Laptop was fully customized to run latest games full graphics minus Anti Aliasing, works with Evolve + CoD Advanced Warfare
Laptop does not boot if USB Keyboard plugged in, works with everything else normal (had this on other systems no problem for me)
Ask me for more info if required to add here, braindead again
Specifications of my system
Intel® Core™ i7 3610QM Processor
Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit
Intel® HM76 Chipset
DDR3 1600 MHz SDRAM, 2 x SO-DIMM 8GB

What Can Run and Won't Run?
ON BOOT:
Bitlocker Encryption Password & Advanced Settings are accessible
Bios (password protected) is accessible
Windows Recovery Mode is accessible (Think it is F9 or F10)
Windows Logon Password Screen is accessible
ON NORMAL/SAFE-MODE START UP:
After Log-In Windows Explorer will not run
Task Manager will run, also allows me to browse the files when trying to start new task
Can run Command prompt
Cannot run any control panel items
Cannot run services.msc
Cannot run mmc
Cannot run sfc
Every time it metions windows drive is locked
Start Error's when running certain applications (Will post codes soon)
Rufus USB Tool does run
Cannot boot Kali Linux off USB
Cannot boot Windows 8.1 off USB
Cannot boot Windows 8.1 off DVDRW
Fixwin2 will not run
Apps either work or don't whether in safe mode or normal
Cannot use Windows Installer
What Fixes I Have Tried So Far
Ok so like any normal user I don't want to lose my files. So here are what I have tried so far:
Repair MBR (Repair Completed, No Luck)
SFC /SCANNOW (Returns Error 'Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service')
Tried sfc /SCANNOW /OFFBOOTDIR=c:\ /OFFWINDIR=c:\windows (Could not access drive)
Fixwin2 (Will not run in either normal or safe mode)
Booting using Windows 8.1 via USB (Cannot boot from extermal devices due to Bitlocker Encryption)
Booting using Kali Linux Via DVD & USB (Cannot boot from external devices due to Bitlocker Encrytption)
How do I know it is because of Bitlocker, because last time I disabled it, I could run from external devices
Tried to run bitlocker to change settings (Will not run)
Have used both password and recovery keys to unlock driver, they work but when applications are running on windows the drive is still locked?
Tried windows Automatic Diagnostic and Repair (Could not repair anything, did make a log I am still to extract from the syste)
There are No System Restore Points
I'm sure there is much more information I could post however I will leave it on an ask to know basis, apart from the log files and further information to gather. Below is my list of trial and error fixes to try for today (need more ideas and help please!):
Hiren's 15.2 Boot CD via DVD (NOT ABLE TO BOOT)
Hiren's 15.2 Boot CD via USB (NOT ABLE TO BOOT)
Research into the Bios and Possible Update in-case of implementation of Virus, can access flash utility (STILL NOT TESTED)
Try and get a portable version or a working version of windows installer to try and re-install Comodo Internet Security (STILL NOT TESTED)
Another way to disable Bitlocker
Anti-Malware / Anti-Virus Scan If Possible to Run One
Bitlocker Repair Tool, will try this also
I have posted this as have not found much info online, usually find it and crack on but this time things are a little more tricky, my priority task I really need to do is remove the Bitlocker Encryption, but if the application will not run... what do I do
then?
Thanks for your time reading all, Sorry for any poor formatting or spelling.
Update 1: MMC.exe Error Code
Ok so now have the computer in safe mode, still same as before, no explorer.exe, no services etc... Just went into the Task Manager > Services (Tab) > Open Services (Option at bottom)
This is the error I get:
'The Instruction at 0x785a746c referenced memory at 0x000000a8. The memory could not be read.
Any Ideas on what this error is and why?
Update 2: CHKDSK Works with no Fix
Update 3: Hiren's 15.2 Boot CD - USB Boot still no luck booting around Bitlocker Encryption
Just to explain again, I already have unlocked the drive with correct bitlocker password or recovery key yet the drive remains locked not allowing windows refresh of files of complete install from the windows recovery menu as keeps saying drive is locked

Ok so attempt number two to write this update via bloody phone! (Just refreshed page whilst writing!)
Update 4:
Problem - cannot run from bootable devices (DVD/USB)
Cause - bitlocker fully encrypted drive stops this working
Repair - Boot up holding F9 to enter windows recovery Input Bitlocker recovery keys to unlock drives
Navigate to Command Prompt in advanced settings Execute following code:
Repair-bde c: d: -rp 000111-222333-444555-etc...
(Code found from https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee523219%28v=ws.10%29.aspx)
Note for those using this: It is common while unlocking certain drives to get errors such as: Quote from http://www.benjaminathawes.com/2013/03/17/resolving-partial-encryption-problems-with-bitlocker/

(0×00000017) …followed by around 20 similar entries that differed only by the offset value"
Repair Status for Update 4: COMPLETED - However over wrote D drive data so now need to recover that
Problem 2 - windows services corrupted along with windows files
Cause - Unknown
Repair - wait until system is fully decrypted Once fully decrypted ensure boot from USB/DVD
Re-do fixes that would not work before if this has fixed boot issue Confirm fix / update post Hope anything I put here helps others also
