Skype not starting after clicking on the icon.

Skype not working. I have done everything possible from reinstalling/uninstalling, to doing physical hardware inspections and memory checks as well as restoring to FACTORY mode.
I have a decent understanding of computers so I am absolutely baffled.
Things to note:
-Every time I click the skype icon and it does not open, instances of it open in tskmanager.
-NO RAM damage or physical damage
-Restored to Factory Mode
-Done malware and virus checks
-Did a wipe of free Hard Drive space and after, some issues occured.
I have a DxDiag if needed.

It shows in my task manager, thats about it.
I have uninstalled, restarted whole system numerous times.
What version of Windows are you on (XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 )? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

What is the version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer?
In Internet Explorer go to Help -> About Internet Explorer.
P.S. Please, don’t say that you are not using Internet Explorer. This is irrelevant. Skype depends on Internet Explorer.

Firefox does not start by clicking on the icon in RHEL 5.

Firefox does not start by clicking on the icon in RHEL 5 on thin clients, also the internet proxy server usename is not accepted for java applets on webpages. However while using Firefox on the servers directly everthing works fine. This issue occurs on a server thin client environment, where the home directories are located on a 5 TB storage connected using SAS cables to the servers.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Hierarchy Viewer does not load after clicking on the + icon

Premise: I have a hierarchy viewer with multiple levels of master-detail with different VOs.
The inputs to the taskflow containing this page are the key and VO type. The tree should render until that VO which matches the type and key and all the next level children under it. The user can expand the nodes under these children at will to drill further.
Issue: I am able to render the tree with results. When I click on the + icon to drill on the children, I see that the backend code for fetching the children is called. But, the tree does not display. It shows the loading icon forever.
Example:
Organization - PO - POItem - Vendor - VendorSite -VendorAddress
                                                       - Responsible - ContactDetails
                    - Project - SubProject - Location
TaskFlow Input: Vendor, 12345
The tree should dispaly Organization - PO - POItem - Vendor(12345) - VendorSite(for 12345)
                                                                                                    -Responsible(for 12345)
If the user expands any of the VendorSites, the VendorAddresses should be shown
Technical Details: JDeveloper Version: 11.1.2.1.0
Code: To filter the children, I am overriding the CreateViewLinkAccessorRS in the VOImpls. I am passing bind variables to the VO criterion to check the paths.

@Arunkumar: Yes, I ran the AM tester and I am able to see the results properly for all the VOs and levels.
I created a sample on the HR Schema and tested. I see that when I click on the Employee node for expansion(can be checked with the data or the short description), it hangs with the load icon.
I do not see anything in the log other than:
<RegionRenderer> <encodeAll> The region component with id: r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components. Fragments with more than one root component may not display correctly in a region and may have a negative impact on performance. It is recommended that you restructure the page fragment to have a single root component.
I do not see any upload options here to give my testcase. So, I uploaded to this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vybip3owzuziz86/HRHierarchyViewer.zip
Please let me know if I can do this elsewhere for easy access.

Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

I have been a happy user of Firefox for many years. Around last April first I opened Firefox and was offered an update to v 4.42.0.0 which I accepted. Installation seemingly went well. I forget now exactly what happened but the result has been that ever since April 1 I haven’t been able to open the Firefox browser when clicking on the Firefox icon. My computer now was running very slowly. I tried to uninstall Firefox, but a popup told me I couldn’t because Firefox was in use. This confused me because I couldn’t see it being used. Only now I have found that on Task Manager processes that “firefox.exe” was consuming 99 % of the CPU. After removing firefox.exe by clicking End Process my computer ran better. I uninstalled Firefox I had on my computer and installed Firefox 5.0. Unfortunately I have the same problems: Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

Born2die! Brilliant. I am a desktop clicker and never knew Firefox had a safe mode.
Thank You!
I was unable to start in safe mode initially. The second time I disabled all of the Add-Ons and she started up just fine. I enabled them one by one hoping to track down the culprit but the problem seems to have gone away.
BTW I am running ver. 3.6.8 (in response to cor-el's earlier post) and
Firefox is in the process of downloading 3.6.10 (which I am starting to think may have been what caused this whole problem to begin with)
Incidentally, whats up with all of the Java Console Add Ons?
I have:
Java Console 6.0.11, Java Console 6.0.13, Java Console 6.0.15
Java Console 6.0.17, Java Console 6.0.20, and Java Console 6.0.21
What are they? Do I need them? Can I uninstall them? Is this due to using Open Office?
Also, .NET Framework 0.0.0 Should I uninstall it?

There is a 3 inch section of the window that will not recognize the mouse. It will not let you click on the icons or screen in any way in this section under the address bar. It is only in firefox where this is a problem

There is a 3 inch section of the window that will not respond or recognize the mouse. It will not let you click on the icons or screen in any way. This is the only program we are experiencing this problem with.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Is there a way to go back to the way a game is started by clicking on the icon after upgrading to OS 7?

I just upgrade my wife's IPad to OS7, and now she has to go through three steps to start a game. Is there a way to go back to the older way, which was just to click on the icon for the particular game she wants to play?

Go to the table of contents is one is shown at the top of the page and then use the left arrow key or click on the left side of the page to move back to the cover page. If there is no ToC then just use the left arrow key or click on the left side of the page to move back to the cover page.

Firefox won't start whenI click on the icon; info on help page doesn't help

I have Windows XP and Verizon Internet Security Suite. I've installed Firefox twice (with an uninstall in between) and it still won't load when I double-click on the icon. It runs fine on my other laptop with same OS and same anti-virus/firewall. Info on help page doesn't actually address this problem, even though the headline indicates it does.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Firefox has never actually opened. I double-click the icon and nothing happens. Check task mgr, it's not listed. ==

See my update at 6:46PST - having the very same problem on a MacBook Pro. Someone named "Sherry" posted around 5:42PST w/ same problem. No techies are picking up on these posts, though. Please add a comment to mine as well to keep it at the top and see if we can get some visibility to what is obviously a bug.
Did you upload a new version/update? That is what caused my problem

Having upgraded to Firefox 24 it will now not start at all after clicking on the icon. My OS is Windows Vista premium. It will start in safe mode.

Upgraded to Firefox 24 and now nothing at all works despite uninstalling and reinstalling it several times and losing all my bookmarks etc. However it does start in safe mode. At first I thought it was my security Norton 360 but after 2 hours in contact with them I'm still in the same position. When I double click on the Firefox icon I can see the cursor timing out and then it just disappears and nothing loads.
My OS is Windows Vista Premium and I am using Windows internet explorer at the moment.
HELP please!!!

Repeatedly firefox will not start after clicking on it in the start menu. I have to download firefox again which takes hours. How can I fix this?

After the PC boots up I click on the firefox icon in the start menu, the hour glass appears but then goes out and nothing happens. I have to re install firefox using safari (which opens) and took 4 hours.

Hello kkhelp, can you open firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#os=winxp&browser=fx24 safe mode] by holding down the shift key while starting Firefox. ? (DON'T Reset firefox, select Start in Safe Mode).

Removing the "Visited" outline after clicking on an icon that has a hyperlink

I have a Facebook Icon where the icon has a hyperlink to a facebook page. After clicking on the icon, a "Visited" dotted outline remains around the icon.
I have edited the hyperlink by selcting "no color" on each of the four icon states (I figured either the "visited" or "active" link style would remove this outline) but nothing has worked. It still leaves this outline.
How do I remove this? If I were coding, I could remove it with simple HTML/CSS.

If you are referring to the dotted boundary indicated in below screen:
then that is not an active/visited state of the button, but the browser's way of notifying that the current object/link has focus (and would be triggered if you hit <enter>).
You cannot control this unless you add some custom script to throw focus off the object after click. Nothing wrong with your page's HTML/CSS.
Cheers,
Vikas

RAC does not start after trying to move storage

Hello,
We have a two nodes RAC Oracle 10g and ASM groups defined on one external storage.
RAC does not start after we reformated the storage to RAID 10.
What we did:
1) deleted the database
2) reformated the external storage to RAID 10 and defined needed volumes for OCR, VotingDisk and ASM
3) on both nodes
- recreated VotingDisk
node1:root$ /u01/oracle/product/10gr2/crs/bin/crsctl add css votedisk /dev/rdsk/c0t600A0B8000347E7D00000EE74A5AF386d0s3 -force

successful addition of votedisk /dev/rdsk/c0t600A0B8000347E7D00000EE74A5AF386d0s3.
- tried to move OCR but was able only on one node:
/u01/oracle/product/10gr2/crs/bin/ocrconfig -replace ocrmirror /dev/rdsk/c7t30d0s3
/u01/oracle/product/10gr2/crs/bin/ocrconfig -replace ocr /dev/rdsk/c7t29d0s3
