Programs go not responding when clicking File - Print

When clicking File -> Print on Word, Adobe PDF reader and Internet Explorer (but works fine in Excel) the program goes not responding, eventually the print window loads, but goes very very slow from there on, regularly hanging. On Word and IE specifically,
a small box flashes up with a message and goes before I get a chance to read it.
I have tried repairing Office, virus scans, CCleaner, driver updates and reinstalls for printers, disabled no windows services. Nearly everything short of reinstalling windows.
Anyone got any ideas. This user has had a large number of problems in the past with Office.

I sorted the issue, really strange, but all i needed to do was select a default printer from the list of network printers as one wasnt selected already. Very very strange

  • Lots of programs does not respond, when opened

    Lots of programs does not respond, when they are opened, Apple store, Mail, Photo Booth and VideoConverterPro and some moor.
    To close, I have to click on finder first. What to do ?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Adobe Reader XI not responding when trying to print a document

    I have Windows 7 home premium 64bit. I just upgraded to Adobe Reader XI because I was having similar issue with earlier version (I think it was 10.1.2). But the problem persists.
    I open the document and when click on Print, it becomes unresponsive. The Print windows doesn't pop up either. Then I have to force close the application.
    I have updated my printer driver. Tried other solutions described elsewhere like unchecking Enable Protected Mode at Startup; creating a share name of printer.
    Very frustrating.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Will not respond when clicking on a hyper link

    when i click on a button, or text link, or similar - often nothing happens. When logging in to certain sites (but not all), it will not respond to user name and password entry.
    Some times Firefox takes ages to respond- others it's as quick as a flash.
    If i didn't know better, i would think it had suffered the effects of a trojan - but i have deleted Firefox twice now, and all associated files. I have rebuilt my iMac from scratch with a freshly partitioned hard drive and performed a fresh installation. Also, my iMac is running the latest version of Kaspersky - as it has done since bought in 2009.
    At this moment in time, it has been uninstalled until i get some idea what to try. It had 2 plug ins installed 3 weeks ago - Colorzilla and Firebug3 - but as i understand it, these are 'certified' add ons for firefox.
    Any help would be appreciated, because i depend on firefox for developing Wordpress based web sites.

    Hi homeworkers,
    I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Get "not responding" when try to print email data -- IE works fine

    When I try to print any email material, Firefox state a "not responding" data and I have to close the program and start all over again. The only way I can print is to copy and paste, then I can print

  • I-Photo does not respond when attempt to print

    When I attempt to print from I-Photo my Mac Book Pro (OS X Yosemite) the app locks up (won't respond).  Printer HP Photosmart 7520, wireless.  Can print other docs.  Recently worked with HP on the printer because would not reconnect when when to sleep mode but that has  been fixed.  Any suggestions?

    The Application and the Library are two different things. SO, no, but you should always make a back up before doing this kind of thing:
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • Palm Desktop software not responding when clicking on "Media"

    I have a Palm Centro (Sprint) and am trying to get a photo that I took on my phone transferred to my computer.  I recently updated my software to Palm Desktop by Access v6.2.2.  When I try to get into the "Media" section, the software locks up and I get a "not responding" message.  Everything else (contacts and calendar, which is all I care about) seems to be working fine. 
    How can I get my photos off my phone?  Thanks for any help.
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    Hello khodes and welcome to the Palm forum.
     I don't have a Centro so I can't test whether or not Palm Desktop will hang when I click the Media icon in Palm Desktop. It seems to be working here, but I'm using Palm Desktop 6.2.2 on Windows Vista with a Treo 755p.
     One work around is to use a card reader/writer to copy the data from your card to your computer.  Do you know if you are saving the photos you are taking with your Centro to a microSD card?  If so, all the photos should be in a folder called DCIM on your card.

    With that setting selected there is no (Private Browsing) showing in the Title bar.

  • Photoshop not responding when opening files.

    I can create new files just fine but when I try and open an existing file, Photoshop CC locks up and has to be forced down. Anyone else having this problem?

    Yeah it's always worked. I think I traced it to a problem with my font managment plugin.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 crashing (not responding) when adding files

    Hello,
    I am running AME CS5.5 on a late 2010 MacBook Pro.  I have been trying to create some broadcast quality .mpg files for my local cable provider's Video On Demand service but AME keeps crashing on me whenever I add a .mov file to the queue.  I am using Final Cut Pro and Adobe After Effects CS5.5 to edit video and create animations.  I have been able to encode a few files into the required .mpg specs, but now I can't even add a file into the queue without it freezing up.  I then have to force quit the application to shut it down.  I have recently repaired my disk permissions and used DiskWarior to clean up and create a new directory.  Is this a known bug?  Is Adobe working on a fix.  I hope so because I have some projects due in mid-September and would hate to have to resort to using Apple's Compressor instead of AME since AME is faster.  Any help would be much appreciated.

    Is this happening with all files? Just QuickTime files? Just QuickTime files using a certain codec?
    I'm taking a shot in the dark, but any time that someeone mentions hangs and QuickTime, I suspect the problems described here:
