       How to recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP from starting
    I have tried the recovery disc but get the same result. 
    How could that happen? 
    If you are restoring the hard drive to its original factory-fresh state, then there is no registry to be corrupt.

  • Encore CS4 never stops importing a file

    Hi @all,
    I have got a serious problem with Ncor CS4. I want to import an m2v file (5,6GB). Ncor imports it, the progress bar goes up to 100% but then it restarts to import the file and it takes again 5 Minutes, then, at 100% it restarts again and so on. It never stops importing the file.
    When I hit the cancel button, Ncor crashes immediately.
    Does anybody know a solution for this really annoying problem?
    My system is:
    C2duo @ 3 Ghz
    3,5 GB ram
    Win XP SP3

    Well, in the meanwhile, I have read here that nvidia graphic cards may cause the problem, so I updated the driver (Nvidia GeForce 8600GTS). Then I deleted the Media Cache directory within the registry and I could import the file for the first time. But then, when I tried to add chapters, Encore crashed.
    So I restarted Encore and again I could not import the file due to the infinite loop. The Media Cache directory was there again.
    It can't be, that I have to delete something out of the registry everytime I want to use the program. That's really disappointing.
    Well, 3.5GB is normal for a 32 bit XP system when you use 4GB ram. XP is only able to address 3.5GB out of 4GB - that's why. It is hard to say how different my PC is - I would say, it is quite standard - I have no plugins and other applications. The only hardware I installed was an E-MU 0404 Soundcard. But that's it...
    I even tried it, using a completely new image (purely fresh Win XP SP3, no other software) installed Encore CS4 and had the same problem.

  • When trying to update my iPad 2 to iOS 7 I keep getting the message that it has stopped because the file is full.  There is plenty of room on the iPad.  It also says to check the settings.  What do I do now?

    When trying to update my iPad on iTunes I keep getting a message that the download has stopped because the file is full.  There is plenty of space on the iPad.  Also, the message says to check the settings.  What am I supposed to check in the settings?  What do I do now?

    I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
    Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
    No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

  • My Wireless HP ENVY 4500 All-In-One Printer Has Stopped Printing PDF Files

    I installed the subject wirelessly printer about 1 years ago. It works quite well with my iMac OS X10.9.1 desktop and my Win7 laptop PC. But, it recently stopped printing PDF files for no apparent reason, and I get no error messages.
    It won't print PDFs from my browsers nor from Adobe Reader (11.0.07) ... but all other document file types print OK from my browsers and Reader.
    The only thing that comes close to printing PDFs is that sometimes, when I try to print a PDF page or file from within Adobe Reader, it prints - on a single sheet - 6 tiny duplicate sections of what appears to be the upper right-hand quadrant only of the original PDF document.
    Please note that I un-installed and re-installed the printer and its driver twice without success. Also, no amount of printer re-configuring of layout, size, etc. made a difference. I received some previous work-around advice about converting the PDFs to a Word document, and printing that. But this is just not convenient; and besides, the printer is suppose to print PDFs (PDF is my document of choice for basically all my collaborative work). I should also state that I received no help with this problem from the HP ENVY user group forum; so, I guess that means you may be my last resort. And finally, I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I upgraded my iMac from Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) to Mavericks (OS X 10.9) a few months ago - this upgrade was frought with all sorts of teething problems! - and I am now somewhat suspicious that something in the upgrade might have something to do with my current PDF problem.
    Could someone please advise me on any Adobe Reader and/or printer re-configs, re-sets or other actions I should try?
    Thanks

    Correction to initial post: The 6 tiny sections incorrectly printed on a single sheet are actually from the bottom right-hand quadrant of the original PDF page - NOT the upper right-hand quadrant.

  • ITunes Match has stopped uploading - every file errors and says waiting - I have tried to delete the files and use other formats etc.  I have had the service since Day 1 and NEVER had an issue.  It didn't start until the Delete from Cloud switch to Hide

    iTunes Match has stopped uploading - every file errors and says waiting - I have tried to delete the files and use other formats etc.  I have had the service since Day 1 and NEVER had an issue.  It didn't start until the Delete from Cloud switch to Hide from cloud - the files that do not upload show grayed out on my other devices.

    Have you confirmed that you successfull purged iTunes Match by also looking on an iOS device?  If so, keep in mind that Apple's servers may be experiencing a heavy load right now.  They just added about 19 countries to the service and I've read a few accounts this morning that suggests all's not running perfectly right now.

  • Why does InDesign CS6 stop recognizing .indd files?

    I'm running CS6 on Mac OS X Mountain Lion with my user account set up with Active Directory and I continue to have the same error where InDesign stops being able to open .indd files. I've been having this error happen about every 2nd day for the past 3 weeks. A dialogue message pops up that says "InDesign cannot open CS 5.5 documents" then it won't open any files anymore until the computer is restarted. The program often crashes when I try to quit after getting this error.
    I say "stops opening indd files" because it's not an error that occurs with one individual file, and these are always files that I have opened, worked on and re-saved within a half hour of trying to reopen them. It seems to occur when I'm opening, printing and making PDFs from a large series of files (I work in a production studio and can work on up to 100 documents at once).
    The files have been built in CS6 (and not carried forward from a previous version), are located on my desktop as I work on them, with links stored on a local file server.
    Any ideas on how to fix this? I'd rather not have to nuke my whole user account to find out that the problem persists :/
    Thanks,
    Sarah

    Thanks for the suggestion. I tried resetting the preferences and the error re-occurred within 20 minutes of working within InDesign.
    Just finished uninstalling CS6, running the CS Cleaner Tool and reinstalling again. I came across this solution in this thread where someone was having somewhat similar file recognition problems with InDesign. We'll see how the new install goes (fingers crossed).

  • ITunes 7.1 loses track of some registry files necessary for CD/DVD burning

    Has anyone else seen this odd error message. I installed iTunes 7.1, then restarted my computer as instructed. When I rebooted and ran iTunes, I got an odd error message indicating that some registry files were missing and that this was likely because I had recently installed a CD/DVD burning program. The problem is that I haven't installed such a problem.
    Now I believe I have found a solution: I ran the installation again, and when prompted I told the installer to repair iTunes. The message didn't come back after that, but does this mean that the issue was solved or simply that the message only shows the first two times or so after the installation? But, most of all, has anyone else seen this message?

  • The printing of .pdf file from Project 2013 stops when the file name should be written. Project 2013 crashes. Does someone know what is wrong between Project 2013 and Adobe Acrobat 9?

    The printing of .pdf file from Project 2013 stops when the file name should be written. Project 2013 crashes. Does someone know what is wrong between Project 2013 and Adobe Acrobat 9?

    The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year of 2013.
    Acrobat 9 support of MS Project via PDFMaker stops with Office 2007.
    For Office 2013 support you must use Acrobat XI (11.0.1) or newer.

  • Installer Package install file failure ....

    Hi there,
    Reasondly when I make any AIR Installer Package with any of my Apps which are perfectly working I get always an 'Install File Failure (damaged)' when I want to install them. Anybody has an idea what to look out for as this is only happening just reasondly ???
    thanks in advance regards aktell

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Accidentally, registry files related with mozilla were deleted and now I am not getting icons of firefox. Please help.

    From regedit in windows 7, various registry files containing "mozilla" were deleted accidentally after uninstallation of firefox. I reinstalled firefox and it is working fine except for disappeared firefox icon. I tried restore windows to a previous version but it didn't help. Can deleted registry files not be restored? I didn't backup the registry before making changes. Is there any way to fix the problem? Please help. I shall really be very grateful to you.
    Thank you.
    Kind regards,

    It got solved by troubleshooting Firefox. Please ignore this issue.
    Thanks.

  • Browser has suddenly stopped loading html files which contain flash content (LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2)

    Having created interactive material which opens as shockwave flash in my browser Firefox has stopped opening such files it just opens with the circle as if its opening the file but the file never opens. These files opened previously without a hitch and open in IE. If I browse and open the shockwave flash object quiz.swf it will open but it will not open the quiz,html file.
    I'm using Firefox 3.6.13 and adobe flash 10

    There is no Flash player version 15... as in your code:
    <param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
    For some reason Adobe thought it would be a good idea to target a Flash player version (15) as default.....which may be out a couple years in the future. Go figure!!!
    If you don't like player version 9, change to 10 or 11.... just not 15 (yet).
    Best wishes,
