SO8 Prod Update 2 installs but wont allow prog to open

I've dowonloaded 120187-02.zip for Windows and installed it on my machine. After an apparently successful update I go to launch Writer (or any programme) to get an error message which reads ...
The application cannot be started.
Configuration - descendant Element 'CrashReporter' not found in Node
/org.openoffice.Office.Recovery
I'm using XP Pro svs pack 2
AMD ATHLON 64 XA DUAL CORE PROCESSOR 3800+
2.00GHZ 1.00GB RAM

I Have noticed this on machines that update from update 1 to update 2...the solution is
as follows. Uninstall Update two from Add/Remove programs. Run the add/remove from the add/remove for Star Office, or the installer from the original disk...and choose "repair" option...let it do the repair....then install the update 2 and it will work. I have noticed that you can install update 2 on a new intallation of Star Office, but if it already has Update 1 in...it's messed up and will give this error....
I have also noticed that if you UNINSTALL update 1 first...then put in update 2, it will cleanly install.
This must be a bug...but you'll get it working again following the procedure above

    Hi
    I actually dont think its Lion (sorry i put that as couldn't remember) as not on that computer at the moment, its at home, I am at work. I know CS2 is compatable with whatever OS I am using because I can using CS2 indesign etc and I was able to use CS2 photoshop until I updated the Camino browser (I believe this is when it stopped working). I have CS5 but it wont work at all on my Powerbook G4.
    I can send a message later with the OS I am using and maybe you can suggest other help? They told me in the MAC shop to try and get the installation discs. They also said I would be able to get these via Apple's 'media replacement programme' which I cannot find anyway! To be honest, I am not even sure getting the install discs will work but I'll try whatever I need to try and get Photoshop working on it again!
    Thanks

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. 
    If your sister doesn't know the password for her old ID, and if her old ID is an earlier version of her current ID, she needs to temporarily recreate the old ID so you can delete if from your phone using her current password.  To do this, have her go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with her current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to her old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to her old email address.  You can now use the password for her current ID to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for her old account ID.  After you do this, Next, have your sister recreate her current ID again by going back to https://appleid.apple.com and changing her primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.
    Then your can save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to the camera roll on your device, then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted.  You will be prompted to either keep or delete the iCloud data from your device.  If the data is already in another account you can choose Delete.  If you need to migrate it to another account, choose Keep, then choose Merge when signing into the new account.

    Just updated Instagram but now it won't open on my iPad

    First a reset, press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own. If it still doesn't open delete and reinstall app.

    You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device.  If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match. 
    Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

  • Need to uninstall iTunes and reinstall, but wont allow because ituneshelper.resources is an invalid short file name and I have already unchecked it in msconfig what do I do next?

    I had iTunes installed onto my external hard drive and was having problems with diff things so decided to uninstall itunes and then install it onto my main hard drive. When I attempted this it told me that iTuneshelper.resources was not a valid short file name. After researching it I manually deleted all files that I could find relating to iTunes, Quicktime, iPod etc... at that time it will would not allow me to uninstall or reinstall. I furthered researched and found the file to be located in the startup in msconfig and unchecked it hoping that it would then allow me to uninstall or at least reinstall the program, but again failed. What else can I do? When it makes it to the install portion it says what drive it will be downloaded to and it says (I:) so I attempted to change it, but it has an error and wont allow me to change it to C: so does anyone know what I have to do to fix this thank you

    When I attempted this it told me that iTuneshelper.resources was not a valid short file name.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Flash Player Installs but wont work.

    Hello,
           I am currently having a proble with my parents computer and Adobe Flash Player 10.1.
    It downloades and installs but when I go to a site to check it for example poker on facebook, all it says is i need the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
    Theyr copmuter OS is Windows Vista 32-Bit, Have java 6 u 23. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple ties, still the same thing. I tried the logo thing that Adobe offers to check as well and it doesnt show either. I looked in the C:/ folder area where it tells you to look and the only file in there was a Flash text document. That i know is not right, but every install is the same one file. Got tired of fighting with it for an hour and decided to come home and post on here and see if anyone could help. And using IE8.

    Hi, if there are no files in the Flash folder(system32) except a text doc, then Flash Player is not Installed.
    The Administrator Account must be used to Uninstall/Install Flash Player.
    When you were Installing did you receive any error messages? If not then you would need to Uninstall and Install again.
    Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html 
    Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE- use the EXE Installer
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
    Disable any messenger services, as yahoo, msn, etc in the system tray(area near the clock)
    If you use Norton or McAfee Anti-Virus, you would want to disable that also as they can block the Shockwave Flash Object.
    Be sure to use the Administrator Account.
    Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
    Run the Installer for IE, Run the Installer for FF and when finished, Reboot.
    Then go to this test site and test each browser:
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    You may want to print these instructions to make it easier to follow. If you have any questions, let me know.

  • Garageband wont allow me to open any of my songs to edit/play?

    "The file couldn't be opened" is the message I get. Everything is up to date.  It has been doing this for a while now, and recently I was able to create two new songs(it randomally worked) and then when I went to close the last one and reopen the first one(of the two new ones)it wouldnt allow me to open it.  Or any of them for that matter, or create a new song either.  Any ideas?  I'm at my wits end with this whole mac programing thing.  I'm having this issue with my MBR and a duplicate picture problem on my iMac!

    Where are your song? On an external drive or your system drive?
    Do you remember, when this started? Did you install anything new at that time? Audio plug-ins? Update software? Did you run cleaner applications, like MacKeeper?
    Justs in case this is a problem of failing hardware, is your backup of your system current? This may be a problem of a failing drive.
    Try to narrow down the problem by making a few tests.
    Can you save and open GarageBand projects on a different drive? For example thumbsdrive?
    Can you open and save GarageBand projects when working from a different user account, see: Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Can you open and save GarageBand projects when working in Safe Mode? See: Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?  and Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
    Please report back, when you know, if a different drive, a different account, or safe boot mode change anything.
    Regards

  • ITunes 7.0.2 installs but now iTunes won't open

    I hadn't upgraded to 7.0.2 after hearing all the problems it had, but now I have a new nano and I need to upgrade. I tried and iTunes wouldn't open at all. I uninstalled and then reinstalled and still no luck. I've browsed around on here to look for advice but no one seems to have had their questions answered.
    Help?

    Quicktime opens with no problem but when I try and open saved videos I only get audio and a green static-y screen.
    interesting.
    iTunes uses QuickTime for video and audio playback. if there's a problem with QuickTime, a common symptom is that itunes won't launch (although folks tend to get an error message under those circumstances).
    so, let's see if the itunes launch failure is an unusual side effect of the cause of those QuickTime symptoms.
    so even though you can't open your itunes, try running through the techniques from the following document:
    Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows video playback perfomance issues
    if you can get QuickTime to play videos properly after applying one or more of those techniques, try launching itunes again. does she launch properly under those circumstances?
