Text disappear after flash and windows update

Hi,
I'm living a strange exprerience from the last windows software update (after i update even flash, to ensure that there was not a compatibility problem) , i can't display some fonts if I choose the option "anti-alias for reliability" , for example for the joeHand 2 , but the text came out again if I choose "bitmap" or "use device fonts" as display option.
This seams a problem with this particular font, but appears only after an automatic windows update, and is not valid for every font.
Someone resolve/had a similar problem?
Thank you
Riccardo

  • How do I get back my bookmarks and history which disappeared after downloading critical Windows Updates?

    On 10/16/14 I downloaded 11 critical Windows Updates (I have the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Pro).
    All updates ran successfully, but after the updates, Firefox would not run. Instead I got the error “Couldn’t Load XPCOM”. Internet Explorer was working. I reinstalled Firefox . I did not delete it and then reinstall it, I just downloaded Firefox.
    That worked and I can now use Firefox, but I have several other problems:
    • I lost all my Bookmarks
    • I lost some of my History. I can only view history for “Today” and “Yesterday” in the Library. I am missing “Last 7 days” (except for 10/16 and later) and “This Month” history view.
    I have been trying to research how to fix this on my own for the past several days, even though I am very non-tech savy.
    I tried the following, but none of these things has corrected the bookmarks or history problem:
    • I did a System Restore to 10/13/14
    • I tried to do a System Restore to 10/12/14. I got the error “Did not complete successfully. Unspecified error 0x8000ffff”.
    • I reset Firefox to its default state.
    • I tried to change the Privacy setting for Firefox history from “Remember History” to “Use custom setting for history” followed by checking “Remember my browsing and download history”, “Remember search and form history”, and “Accept cookies from site”. I am unable to change this. It always reverts back to “Remember History”.
    I located only one Profile Manager, which I found by going through the Windows start menu with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" –p.
    I found "bookmarkbackups" under my Profile Folder. The oldest bookmark folder listed is from 10/16/2014.
    Could someone please help me get all my Bookmarks and History back from before the 10/16/2014 updates? Thank you.

    Hi askmozilla, yes, the Previous Versions tab in the Properties dialog for the places.sqlite files in the oldest of those folders.
    I'm not sure whether Windows can match that file up with earlier restore points once the folder is moved from its original location to the desktop.
    I wonder whether there is any way to access the restore point created on 10/16 just before Windows installed the updates. That really would be the best place to look if possible.

    As per my research, those events which related to Device Setup Manager generated because Device Setup Manager just goes out and pings windows update
    every night to see if any devices that are installed and set up to use Windows Update to update the corresponding drivers.
    Currently, I suggest we make sure the drivers on your server are all up to date via Device Manager. Meanwhile, please try setting up the Windows Update settings from
    installing update automatically to manually installing updates. Then restart the server to monitor the issue.
    After all the above, if the issue persists, could you please help collect the following information?
    =====================================
    1. Run the following command and upload the system information.
    msinfo32 /nfo      C:\SYSSUM.NFO /categories +systemsummary

  • X11 disappearance after 10.4.11 update

  • Windows Firewall and Windows Update (Win 8.1)

    Since Windows Vista I have always been using the Windows Firewall with "blocked outgoing traffic". As this is not the default setting, some basic windows services seem not to be included as firewall rules on the outgoing side.
    My Problem is with the Windows Update:
    On Windows Vista and 7 it was sufficient to create a rule for "wuauserv".
    On Windows 8.1 however this seems not to be enough. The UI gives me error code 80240438 and the WindowsUpdate.log shows the following lines:
    2014-06-14    20:11:08:150     952    538    IdleTmr    WU operation (CAgentProtocolTalker::SyncUpdates_WithRecover) started; operation # 2044; does use network; is at background

    If I create a rule for the whole svchost.exe, the update works fine. Giving all services internet access is however not an option for me. Could you please tell me through which service(s) except wuauserv Windows Update performs its network activities?

    Windows 8 upgraded to 8.1 on a Gateway SX2370.  Purchased Sep. 2013. 
    As of Dec. 28, 2014 I have not gotten ANY windows defender updates and windows update has not been working at all. When I go to my start screen and type "update" Windows update still shows in the list, only now when I click on it, it brings
    up a blank window and can only be closed by right clicking the tab on the taskbar. I cannot max or minimize the window either.
    Up until Dec. 28th it was working perfectly, notifying me when updates were available, almost everyday for windows defender.
    I have tried everything I could find to fix this, even a complete restore, with recovery media made for Win 8.1 and Win 8. Still no windows updates, of anything. To top it off as of Jan. 22, 2015 the Diagnostic Policy Service has stopped and I am denied
    access when I try restarting it.
    Windows XP was great until MS stopped support. Vista sucked, near as bad as Millenium or 2000. I never tried windows 7 instead going for windows 8, being the most recent version when I could afford a new PC. Adapting to win 8-8.1 was no easy task.
    I'm not a tech guru, but I've owned & used windows from Dos 6.0, '95, '98, '98SE, Millenium, XP, XP home & Pro (sp1-2 & 3) and still have the installation/restore CDs for all of them. Even taught myself how to write the recovery
    console directly from the hard drive of XP, OEM or full MS versions without using the CDs & now I'm using Windows 8 - 8.1. Getting rid of the recovery console was a BIG mistake in my opinion.
    At one time I had a multi-boot system of win.95, 98, 98SE, Mill., XP home sp2 and XP Pro sp3 on a 1.5 TB self built system. Microsoft told me it was impossible, until I allowed two tech support reps remote access for 5 min.. Which also lead to me being
    blocked from most MS websites &?suggestions windows forums for 3 years.
    But so far, this failure of windows updates and the Diagnostic policy Service in Windows 8.1 has got me stumped. Can ANYONE give me a quick simple way to correct this? Please?
    Thanks for reading this and any help or suggestions anyone has to offer. GOD bless you all and my thanks to every military person, their families and veterans for my freedom. 

  • Downloaded latest Itunes and Windows Update and everything fell apart

    Okay, I dl'd the latest Itunes and Windows Update today and turned off my computer. When I came back and turned it on, it became really slow and the style for all the "windows headings" turned "gray classic theme." I tried running Itunes and a box comes up saying that I "Do not have access to change the Catalyst Control," my ATI driver I think (x1300). Then it says that I can't run Itunes because the audio is configured wrong. I go to my Audio settings in the "control panel" and everything is grayed out except the hardware choices. I clicked on their properties (SigmaTel Audio), but nothing would come up for 45 minutes. I am barely running in VGA mode and cannot access the internet connections in IE, thus barring me from Microsoft's updates. Sorry if it's hard to understand, but I'm ****** because I can't listen to all the new stuff I bought on Itunes yesterday Does anyone have any clues or ideas?

    Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369

  • Our Ipad type line for text disappears after taking a photo to send and only after a restart

    Hello.  We have two Ipads and two Iphones. Our newest Ipad has an issue with I message. If we take a photo to send by text the type screen and line disappears. The only way to get it back is to shut the device and then the type line returns. We have turned the message off on on with the same result. Our Ipad 2 and both our 4s and 5 phones don't seem to have the issue. Any thoughts? We are also did the icloud update and no change happened. Is this a bug or are we missing something? Messaging works fine until we take a picture then the type bar and keyboard disappear. The taken photo goes to photos.. The only way to get messages to work is to shut off the device and then it works until we try to add another new picture. It seems to work if we use an existing photo from the library.

    This sounds like you may have the camera's "Image Review" option set to "hold".
    When you take a photo, two things normally happen.
    1)  The camera should write the image to your memory card.  You'll know when it's writing to your memeory card because there is a red LED ligth which is active when the camera is using the card.  When the light goes out, the camera is finished.
    2)  The camera can be set to do "Image Review".  By default, when you take an exposure, the camera will display the image on the rear screen for just a few seconds.  But this behavior can be customized.
    Your choices for image review are "Off", 2 seconds, 4 seconds, 8 seconds, or "Hold".  If Off is selected you wont get any image review.  If "Hold" is selected, the image you just took will appear on the rear LCD and will never go away until you manually clear it.  You can just do a half-press of the shutter button to clear it (it wont get in the way of you taking more shots... just ignore it.)
    You can find instructions on this on page 166 of your T3i Instruction Manual which describes how to change this setting.

  • Text disappeared after Acrobat preflight

    Hi all,
    A few days ago I preflighted a PDF using the 'Convert to PDF/X-1a (Coated FOGRA39)' preflight profile in Acrobat X. After preflighting and optimization several pieces of text suddenly disappeared. I'm a bit puzzled here. Customers of me are using this preflight profile to optimize quite some PDF's in their workflow for print production. Has anyone experienced similar kind of problems with this profile (or another in Acrobat preflight)?
    I ran my tests on Windows 7, Acrobat 10.0.1.
    PDF A, before preflighting
    PDF A, after preflighting
    PDF B, before preflighting
    PDF B, after preflighting
    All help is welcome.

    If you have the file in the "pre-converted" state, could you do the following test?
    1. open the file in Acrobat
    2. open the transparency flattener (located in the Print Production tools)
    3. do APPLY for flattening the file (do this, even if there is no transparency in the file at all)
    4. then do 'OK' to return to the Viewer
    Is the text still visible or has it been hidden as in your example above?
    There are a couple of other things we can try, but this is a good starting point.

  • Email folders disappeared after upgrading to Windows 10

    After upgrading to Windows 10 (and using Edge rather than IE), all of the folders etc. on the left side of my Verizon email disappeared.  I can move emails to folders but I can't see the folders.  Does anyone know how to fix?

    A VZ DSL Tech told me last week to use Google Chrome or another browser (other than I.E. 11) since I Upgraded to WINDOWS 10 on Aug 3.  I think he said this issue also affects FiOS users. In I.E. 11, I see NO Folders on left, and NO New eMails.  Only page headers. In MICROSOFT's new EDGE, the Folders are missing on the LEFT but the NEW eMails show. The VZ Tech said VZ know about this issue but that VZ cannot resolve it.  It is a MICROSOFT issue.  My hunch is that IF IT IS a MICROSOFT issue, a "FIX" will come out in a WINDOWS 10 UPDATE.  The VZ Tech could NOT give me a time frame.  So for now, I use CHROME to check my VZ Email.  I've read posts where some are able to use Firefox. Best wishes.

  • ICloud Group contacts disappeared after upgraded to Windows 8.1.

    After upgrading to Windows 8.1 received message "The set of folders cannot be opened.  The information store could not be opened."  When opening the iCloud contacts in Outlook 2010.  I performed the fix of signing out of the iCloud control panel and back in to resolve the above error message and was able to access my addresses.  However, all of the iCloud Group contacts disappeared from Outlook and from iCloud.  Is there any way to restore the iCloud contacts back to a point when the Group contacts still existed.

     Hi @Tomhum2010 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 14t-1200 CTO Beats Edition Notebook PC and issues after an Windows 8.1 update. I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults.You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which should resolve the fan issue.
    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system. If the drivers are not updated this could cause this same issue.
    If that does not help at the end of the document it shows you to do a hardware test.
    Please note remove any and all USB devices before troubleshooting. Disconnect all non-essential devices
    Hope this helps you out.
    Thanks.

  • Blue screen error Windows 7 after June 2014 Windows updates

    Hi,
    just wondering if someone could help determine the cause of a blue screen error from interpreting the following minidump file. My PC has been having blue screen problems after getting the automatic windows updates recently. Initially the only way I could
    get the computer working was to restore the system back to prior to the updates. The updates seem to have now successfully installed but are still causing occasional blue screen errors. I have Windows 7 Home Premium

    These crashes were related to memory corruption (probably caused by a driver). 
    Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.  
    If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you don't
    know what it is you probably are not overclocking.
    Since it is more likely to be a driver please run verifier first.
    1-Driver verifier (for complete directions see our wiki here)
    If verifier does not find the issue we can move on to this.
    2-Memtest. (You can read more about running memtest here)
    If you cannot boot after enabling verifier reboot into safe mode

  • WiFi disappears after 10.7.5 update on iMac

    I posted this in the iMac drops wi-fi connection after 10.7.4 update, but it occurs to me that this might be a different problem.  I was having problems with my wifi dropping connection under 10.7.4 just like most of the people in the other thread.  I tried all of the "fixes" suggested, but nothing worked.  Then apple came out with the 10.7.5 update with claims that it would improve wifi reliability, so I installed the update and my wifi disappeared entirely.  I could not turn it on from system configuration, and when I clicked on the wifi icon, it read "no hardware installed".  The only way I could connect to my "wireless" router was to install a wire!
    Luckily, I have a back up drive so I reinstalled 10.7.4, and my wireless network (and those of my neighbors) reappeared under the wifi icon.  I don't know if I will have the same disconnecting problems as before because I'm going to leave the cable installed until apple figures this whole mess out.  One giant technological leap backwards!
    Anyone else had this experience?
    Maybe 10.7.6 will fix it ???

    Hey there. I had the same issue as soon as I updated to 10.7.5 (Lion) on Friday morning. After spending countless hours troubleshooting my router and my MacBook Air, talking to Apple Care, visiting the Genius at the store and searching the forums/net for an answer, I got the issue fixed. I also use a Netgear router and there are a couple of issues with the update, one being that it doesn't work with the old Netgear firmware.  Here's a complete step-by-step on how to get it resolved. My internet is working flawless now for a few hours and faster than before.
    1. Update Netgear Firmware: If you can't of course do this from your laptop, try another device (phone, iPad, tablet, etc...).
    Enable the Wi-Fi, connect to the router, and go to:
    http://192.168.1.1  Type in username: admin password: password
    Should automatically tell you there is a new software update. If not, go to Router Upgrade.
    2. Go to Wireless Settings (in Netgear): --> CHANGE CHANNEL to 3 or 9. --> CHANCE SECURITY to WPA2-PSK [AES]
    3. Let it refresh. (Wi-Fi goes offline and then back on).
    4. Go to Network Preferences on the MacBook (or laptop device) ---> Advanced --> and delete your router from the preferred list.
    5. Go to Macintosh HD (hard drive) --> LIBRARY --> PREFERENCES --> SYSTEM CONFIGURATION --> and under developer, DELETE the following three (3) files:
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    com.apple.network.identification.plist
    NetworkInterfaces.plist
    6. RESTART the computer.
    7. Go to Network Preferences: At the top, click on LOCATIONS and add a new one. Call it whatever you want. Then make sure when you are done, that it is now working off the NEW location.
    8. At the left, you see the pane that has the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or whatever device listed. Click on the gear at the bottom --> SET SERVICE ORDER.  Again, make sure the Location is the new one you just created. Choose Wi-Fi.
    9. Connect to your router: Make sure you are using the NEW location.
    10. RESTART computer.
    Check and make sure you are connected. If you aren't connected, let me know.
    Just an FYI:
    If you call Apple Care (whether you are in warranty or not) let the first POC (verification department) know you are calling about a software update issue. They will transfer you to tech support. Once they transfer you, tell the tech specialist you want to be transferred to the Wi-Fi specialists. Yes, they actually have a team of Wi-Fi specialists!!
    Most of the steps I got from reading the Apple forums here. The only thing I didn't see anywhere was to change the channel to 9. She said it might get busy so remember the channel setting process and change to 3 or vice versa.
    Don't listen to any of these that say download this patch or revert to 10.7.4, etc... Just keep 10.7.5 and do these things.
    Hope it helps! Let me know

  • Same issue Network Discovery not working and Windows Update not working

    I've read the threads. 
    This is a Vista Ultimate upgrade. My OOOOH My I have clocked 8 hours
    Everything was working before. I tried all of the recommended  services turning on restarting.
    Also, ran into the problem of my memory being eaten. Suspected cause hibernate mode, which I had to disable. Scott Hasselman blog recommended the fix which is a cheap work around that limits machines functionality!!
    I'm and IT Engineer specializing in MS product lines since Windows 1.0. MFC foundation classes etc.. What is the real problem ?
    I don't have the NetBIOS over tcp/ip in my services?
    I figure that the cost of my time and other individuals pays for the OS four times over. Give me a Microsoft developer subscription or something to make me happy. This is my development machine and I'm loosing time and money.
    FYI, Just upgraded my second machine to Windows 8.1 OMG !!2 Hours to upgrade after the download. I loose my configuration settings. I required to have a Windows Live whatever account!!! This is not the way to compete and keep customers.
    Windows XP has been by far the best deployment experience. I need a Knowledge base that gives solutions , not a troubleshooting scenario that does or does not work!!
    Please , don't tell me to go and by a OEM Surface I cannot recommend this to my clients. 
    Thank You

    Hi,
    If it worked previously, a quick solution is to run System Restore and get back to the previous status when the issue didn’t occur.
    What is System Restore?
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-is-System-Restore
    When you turn on network discovery, do you get any error prompt?
    Please check if you have any error message about network discovery in event viewer.
    Open Event Viewer
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-Event-Viewer
    What information appears in event logs (Event Viewer)?
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer
    Please use Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com/) to upload the Error logs to a public folder and share the URLs with us.
    Also, please temporarily turn off your firewall and all the security programs for a test.
    As far as I know, Network discovery requires that the DNS Client, DNS Client, Network Connections, Network Location Awareness,  Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Function Discovery
    Resource Publication, TCP/IP Netbios helper, SSDP Discovery, and UPnP Device Host services are started and set to automatic.
    You should check again if you have started all these services.
    Regarding the update issue, I suggest you try the following suggestions.
    1. Temporarily disable firewall and antivirus program to test the issue.
    2. Open the Windows Update troubleshooter
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter
    3. Reset Windows Update components

  • Flash and shockwave updates

    Both adobe products versions on my older computer have not been updated for 1 year or more. Current flash update would not install, should I be installing every update in order since ver 10.3.183.7 and ver. 11.5.9.620?  Thanks.
