Satellite L455-S5975 - Powers Up but can't open any programs.

Computer powers up.  Everything looks fine but you can't open any programs.  You get an hourglass and then eventually it just says the program isn't responding.  I can't even shut it down correctly.  It is my son's computer and worked fine then he said it just wouldn't open anything.
HELP!

Do you see a desktop? A taskbar? What happens when you press Ctrl+Shift+Del?
Can you reach the Windows Recovery Environment?
   What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
If so, try the System Restore first.

  • Have CS4 installed on new mac, but can't open any programs. Know Java6

    I have CS4 installed on a new mac. It asks me to install JAVA 6. Java 6 is no longer available and in have installed Java 8, but it still asks for Java 6. I paid $1400 for CS4 4 year ago and really only use Acrobat. I don't want to buy it over again. I haven't been able to get support on this problem.

  • Hello all.   Hope someone can help me. I recently downloaded some  updates for my imac.  Since doing this the computer starts up but I get no logon box.  The home screen opens but I can't open any programs or files. I've tried rebooting, no joy. Help!!

    Hello all..   I hope someone here can help.  I recently downloaded some updates to my imac.  Since then the computer starts but I get the home screen opening without the logon box.    I can't open any programs or files and if I click on the Safari tab it disappears from the dock.  I've tried rebooting with no joy.
    I contacted technical help at Apple and was told to hold down the ctrl and alt keys with two other keys, I think the S or P keys when powering up. This worked
    and the computer seemed fine but now the problem has reappeared.  Is there a way to removed downloaded updates from the computer or revert it to an earlier state?   Sorry for the long question. Hopefully one of you clever people can help.   Simon

    Hay thank you for your time . I do that every time I know I am online. It says that I am up to date . I have found that I have 10.4.11 version, and that my boot version is 10.6.2, and that my kernel version is 8.11.1.
    I have a hard drive icon on my desktop that says 10.6.2....
    I use to have iphoto, it doesnt open anymore, it says there is 1.2gigs on that disk.There are many things on here that are the same way. Where do I start?
    It's always good to go with one thing at a time and stay focused on that. Let's start with the OS you're running. Click on the Apple menu > About This Mac. What does it say under Mac OS X version ?

  • I can open and read my email but can not open any links

    I Can open my email but can not open any links

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    It's probably not the cause of your problem, but you should update the iOS to iOS 7.1.2

    Power down the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait 10 minutes.
    Plug it back in. Power it on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.

  • Updated safari to 6.0.2 app starts but can't open any pages...help!

    updated safari to 6.0.2... app starts but can't open any pages...help!

    I tried turning off extensions as you suggested, Bee, but the problem persists. As you can see Chrome is working. Turning on auto proxy discovery in preferences made no difference.
    The message I get when trying to open a web page is:
    Safari can't open the page "http:www.apple.com/support/". The error is: "The operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted" (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:1)
    Any chance you can decipher this and tell me what it means other than the web page can't open which I kind of figured out.

  • I'm paying for the creative cloud package but Can't download any program!

    I'm paying for the creative cloud package but Can't download any program! Adobe is not recognizing my payment! What can I do? I can't wait anymore! Anyone here have seen it before?

    Hello Sheena, thank you for your reply.
    Actually I have already contacted the support. My case number  is 0215124375.
    I decided to write here at the community because I'm sincerely worry about it, and I would like to know if someone else have already seen it before.
    Adobe is verifying my case, but I'm in need of an urgent response. I don't know if I make another account and another credit card debit, just to have access for the programs, or if I wait working on another old PC computer for 25 trial days. If I make another account I can be charged for 2 payments, That's what I don't want.
    If you have any other case like mine, please let me know,
    SIncerely,
    Wellerson

  • Can't Open Any Programs

    I had been on Safari for awhile and had to leave the computer for about 10 minutes. When I came back the mouse is responsive, but nothing else is. I can't shut down any program or the computer. I did a forced shut down, and it starts back up just fine but now I can't open any program. The mouse moves around the screen but nothing else seems responsive. After 5 minutes, my screen saver comes on like normal.

    Hi
    what OS are you on - Leopard, Snow Leopard ?
    I suggest booting from the install dvd, repairing permissions (just in case) using Disk Utility from the dvd and using the 'repair disk' function too.
    You might also see what starting in Safe mode does for you - hold the Shift key on startup
