TouchSmart button does not launch program

The "home" touch button on front of the HP TouchSmart does not launch the HP TouchSmart software anymore.
It has worked the first day, I am sure of. When the system is in sleep I can wake it with the button so it is not the hardware. I assume it must be a software problem. After the first day I have installed many software including Vista SP2, so one of them might be guilty and I prefer not to do a system rollback.
Has anyone a solution? Or does anyone knows which processes are involved with the button?

Desktop Icon does not launch program on Mac after download

Purchased from Adobe via internet. Akamai interface downloaded and then Photoshop Elements 11. Both icons on Mac desktop. Double clicking on PE 11 does not launch program. Is it fully downloaded? I get Read Me file in four languages as well as a PE 11 icon after double clicking the desktop icon.
Thanks

Thank you. The download directions did not include the part about double clicking the desktop Elements icon, double clicking the elements icon within the box that opened and then clicking on "install." Okay, so i am not computer savvy, but the directions gave the impression that the download was complete after following the supplied instructions. Who knew? I did not want to duplicate a download, so was apprehensive to take this action. Did it anyway out of frustration and it worked. Obviously, the application was not entirely downloaded. Now, i get to learn a whole new application as IPhoto bites! I spent hours and hours, days upon days scanning and editing old family photos in IPhoto only to learn that the program re-sorted my photo order when i tried to make copies for family. I lost my edits, lost my photo notes and had to retrieve my entire library before presenting several hundred multi generational family photos to everyone in my extended family! Hopefully, this application will be an improvement!
Thanks again for taking the time to respond!

Clicking on program icon does not launch program

I just purchased my new 21.5" iMac and when clicking on an existing app, the app does not launch. I am using the new Magic Mouse; also, when hitting enter key on highlighted app it still does not launch. Eben if I hav e Pages launched and an open doc as an icon, clicking on the icon does not open it.
It worked very well under my MPB 17" using SL 10.6.2! What gives? Do I have to return this machine already?

OK. here goes: Most of the Apple Apps, either on the dock, in the Finder (in list view or any other view), or on the Desktop do NOT respond to double-clicks to get them going!
For example, I live on Preview, yet when I double-click a PDF file, nothing happens; Preview does not load and the document does not open. I can start the document by either holding down the Control key and Open with.....
I have owned six Apple computers during the past 8 years and have never come across such weird behavior! I am really not to bugged by this as this is with a brand new iMac 21" but it would be a shame to have to return this because of this odd behavior.
I have a template of Pages on my Destiop, yet I double-click on it nothing happens; Pages does not load nor does the document open.
Other Apps do start up normally.
I powered the machine down; I ran and fixed Permissions. I do not know what else to do. I know it cannot be the MM as it works flawlessly on everything else.

P20: Hidden reset button? Windows does not launch

My Toshiba Satellite P20 laptop (XP Media Edition )does not Start up
The last actions were :
A memory stick was ejected.
Two explorer windows were closed.
Clicked on the "Start" button.
The "Start" button did not respond and the display froze.
The P20 was not reacting to anything except the movement of the mouse. Ctrl-Alt-Delete did not work.
I tried to switch the P20 off but the on/off button would not respond. The P20 was left alone for 30 minutes to switch itself off.
Since switching off the P20 has refused to start up.
If the On button is pressed the fan starts for a couple of seconds but then the P20 cuts out again.
Windows does not launch.
I checked the inlet fan is clean & working.
I tried switching on and hitting the function buttons in turn e.g F8, F1 to F4 for booting up in safe mode, in case of accidental switch to hibernate or to a separate screen etc.FN light comes on but screen stays dark.
I have taken out the battery and left it to comtemplate its navel = P20 does not start up.
I have had the hard drive checked by PC World and they said it was working properly. There are two different technical opinions on what might be wrong with the P20.
1) Problem with the motherboard.
2) It is stuck in hibernation mode.
I am faced with the prospect of paying over 300 for repairs (estimate supplied by repair company Mastercare).
Is there a form of emergency restart of the P20 just in case the problem is software and not hardware related?
Could not see the 'paperclip' socket on the machine and nothing in the manual.

Hi Noelma,
When you press the power button try pressing the ESC key. This should show you the BIOS load process. If you still get just a black screen then I suspect a problem with your mainboard and the quote your got from Mastercare would be quite reasonable for this to be replaced. :(
Hopefully you will be able to see the BIOS process in which case you should be able to see where the load process stops.
Best of luck

All Software program in the application folder does not launch

I have a macBook Pro mid 2012. When I click on any software program in the applications folder on the sidebar, it does not launch. What do I need to do?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

After upgrading to iTunes 11 application does not launch and is disrupting other programs

Hello!
I have trying to solve this problem all day:
After updating to iTunes 11 this morning, the application does not launch.
Furthermore, Windows Media Player, Win DVD8 and my Email Program fail to launch as well.
I have been through all support pages on iTunes, on support pages on the Windows 7 Forum, and I
read the answers given in the discussion.
I have tried and applied the solutions given, but none of them worked.
What happenes is iTunes tries to launch for a second, then stops, but the process keeps running
in the task manager.
All methods through MSCONFIG failed. Uninstalling and re-installing (in the correct order) iTunes, related
programs and QuickTime failed as well.
I am on a Windows 7 Home Premium 65 bit desktop computer.
Up until the update this morning everything was running fine.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you very much in advance.

Solved it.
I had a program running in the background, which did not get picked up by MSCONFIG.
I looked at the services on CCCleaner and there they were, many instances of this program, slowing the
computer down and preventing other programs (including iTunes) from functioning.
Turned them all off, and iTunes and all other pgms work again.

Froze on black screen and power button does not work

my sons ipod touch is stuck on a black screen when plugged into the computer got a spinning wheel and will not connect now spinning wheel will not go away the power button does not work so can not reset it manually
any suggestions would be appreciated

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Neglect the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of thes programs
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Windows 8.1 - Upgrade from 8, Start Button Does Not Work

I cannot find a fix for my 8.1 start button.
It works when I move the task bar to the top, right or left but not at the bottom. I ran all windows updates and there are no missing/unknown drivers in device manager. No errors in the event log. I've restarted multiple times and created a new local profile.
I've also tried:
Copy WinX folder under C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows into C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows.
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Any ideas? I would prefer not to do a clean install. Thanks in advance.

Could you please describe a little more detailed about “Start Button does not work”? What is the symptom?
Yes, when the taskbar is at the bottom of the screen, I cannot left click on the start button. The machine is also a touch-screen, which does work when I touch the start button. If I move the task bar to the left, right or top; the start button does work.
And what is the kind of the account, Domain? Local? Or both?
This is local machine.
It still doesn’t work in a new account?
Same issue happens with a new account.
What happens if you use win + "X"?
Win + "X" works fine; displays options.
Regarding to the “doesn’t work, both for screen touch and mouse?
Left-click via the mouse does not work. Touch works fine.
Can you try to copy the WinX folder from a working PC to your PC for a test?
I do not have another Windows 8.1 machine available to me.

Button does not respond (with attachment)

Hi,
I'm trying to develop a LV program for a psychology experiment to record a participants mouse movements whilst drawing or tracing a picture using the mouse.
My program uses an event structure to generate an event each time the mouse is moved or the mouse button is pressed or released. Upon each of these events the coordinates and button position is recorded to an array.
When they have finished drawing there is a button "Stop & Save" that allows the user to save the coordinate data to a file. This can then be opened by a sister program I'm developing that allows the movements to be replayed and shows where the mouse button was down and up.
At the start of the program there is the option of loading a background jpeg picture to trace over on the screen.
The program then waits for a 'Record' button to be pressed before moving on to record all coordinates there after until the 'Stop & Save' button is pressed.
The problem I have is that the record button does not respond. It doesn't even change state when pressed, even though at that stage it's just sat in a while loop waiting for it to be pressed before moving on to the event structure.
I attach the program for you to look at.
Any help/hints much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave.

Your overall program design is higly flawed. This calls for a single state machine with an event structure that handles all FP events. All your locals can be handled by shift regsters. Get rid of that useless stacked sequence!
Frame 0: Initialization belongs to the left of the state machine. CoordinatesArray should initialize a shift register (no locals needed). Use a boolean shift register to set state to either recording or not. Event for "record, value changed" will switch the boolean to be used on the other states.
Frame 1: "Clear" and "stop" need to be inside their own events. Running it parallel to the event structure is a no-no! Do you really want to record mouse movements on the entire FP or only on the picture area?
Frame 2: Why waste an entire frame on this? Here you clear it and in the next frame you prepend the cleared string to your data. Makes no sense.
Frame 3: An autoindexing FOR loop would be the right choice. A single formating operation can handle multiple values.
Frame 4: Writing the "coordinate string" seems useless, since you just cleared it two frame earlier. You are writing an empty string to a file! Right? Why invert the "canceled?" output, just swap the cases instead.
Frame 5: Unecessary! Once the VI runs out of code, the VI will stop automatically. The "stop" function also does not "close the program window" as you seem to indicate with a diagram comment. Check the online help.
Message Edited by altenbach on 05-22-2007 09:23 AM
Hi, thanks for your reply.
The reason for the main stacked sequence was to get some order to the program, my programming background's text based and as such I like to think of a program running in a list/sequence order. LabView seems strange when you've been used to programming in asm or C. Does anyone know of any books or online documentation for people migrating from text languages to LV? - I haven't found any.
"Frame 2: Why waste an entire frame on this? Here you clear it and in the next frame you prepend the cleared string to your data. Makes sense."
- The string 'CoordsArray' is cleared to make sure it's empty before chars concatanated to it in the next frame. Call me old fashioned but is it not good practice to clear out any junk in a variable rather than just assuming it's empty?
"Frame 3: An autoindexing FOR loop would be the right choice. A single formating operation can handle multiple values." - not sure what you mean by that?
"Frame 4: Writing the "coordinate string" seems useless, since you just cleared it two frame earlier. You are writing an empty string to a file! Right? Why invert the "canceled?" output, just swap the cases instead."
- No, it's not an empty string since in the previous frame the coordinates array is converted to numbers and concatanated to it. Trust me, it generates a file with lots of data in so no way is it an empty string!!
- Yes, you could just swap the cases instead of inverting the 'canceled' output but sometimes it reads better to say 'if NOT cancelled then DO theTask, ELSE DO nothing' rather than 'if cancelled DO nothing ELSE DO theTask'. Not sure if that makes sense but I guess it's just personal prefference there.
"Frame 5: Unecessary! Once the VI runs out of code, the VI will stop automatically. The "stop" function also does not "close the program window" as you seem to indicate with a diagram comment. Check the online help."
- I wasn't sure how that one would work. I wanted the final exe version to close the program window when the program comes to the end, what's the best way to do that? In the past I think I used the 'Exit' function but this would annoyingly quit LabView at the end of each trial run whilst still in the development stage.
Thanks,
Dave.

Lookout 6.1 build 27 OPCClient does not launch the Opto 22 OPC SEVER

In the same computer, with the same Lookout 6.1 a few weeks ago, I had communication between Opto 22 OPC Server and Lookout using the OPCClient in Lookout. Settings in OPCClient were for a really fast scanning rate (50 milliseconds) and de deadband was set to zero in order to see all the inputs changes with the best resolution. These I/O units are Opto PAC EB2 brains, and the OPC Server belongs to the suite of PAC 8.0 (I tried also 8.1) of Opto 22. The I/O Configuration and the OPC configuration was done with the same OPTO22 software version.This was a test done in order to see if I can get 20 samples per second from all the I/O's. It did go well, even a little faster than required. It was informed to my bosses, then I had the 'go' for the project I'm working on. That was the main concern of everyone here; the fast communication between Lookout an the Hardware.
The computer runs windows XP SP2, has two ethernet ports; one with dynamic IP address on motherboard (for the company network), and a PCI ethernet cad with a fixed IP address in the range of the IP addresses of the Opto 22 brains dedicated to talk to these I/O units.
I called first to the tech support of OPTO 22. They shown me how to double check and to launch manually the OPC Server, there is a tester software for it. The OPC Server was launched and I saw it in the task manager under processes tab.
When I create the object in Lookout, it does not see the server, neither launches the server. I can see the data members of the OPCClient, but I can not see the variables or tags from the server.
Again, it did work a few weeks before in the same PC, with the same Lookout and the same Opto 22 as a test. Now I need to add the OPCClient to my application and make the corresponding connections, but I can't.
This is becoming a kind of hurry, time is running and the application can not get to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

When the OPC Client object is created, I can select the OPTO22OPCSever.2 in the dropdown list of servers. It is there, and the object can be configured normally. I must see in the object explorer (expanding the OPCClient object) the tags configured in OPTO 22 Server,but they are not there. The Client object only shows its data members. Once Lookout is open with the OPCClient, the task manager/services does not show Opto22OPCSever.exe running, that tells me that Lookout's client does not launch the server and that's why it does not show the tags configured in the server.
I have uninstalled Opto 22 software and re-installed, I called Opto 22 tech support and they shown me a way to launch manually the server, even how to monitor some of the values of its tags. I saw the Opto22OPCServer.exe in the processes list of the task manager, I read values of some tags with the OPC tester, To me, the server side is working fine.
Then, I installed Lookout .During this process there was an error 1922 and a message saying that files mssgl.mdf, mssgl.mdl, and mssgl.ldl are not found, These files must be located in C:\ Program Files\ National Instruments\Lookout 6.1\ Database. During the first installation of Lookout 6.1, I followed the instructions in the README file, where some specific commands must be typed in the run windows and executed to create the database properly. It was done, no errors were displayed during the first installation.
The thing is that this OPCClient/OPCServer DID WORK before. For some reason it does not work NOW.
this computer didn't have any previous version of Lookout installed, there is no possible old database messing here.
Again; the computer runs windows XP SP2, it has a dual core processor.

Photoshop 5 edit menu button does not function

1. Restore requires replacing everything I had on my iPod, right?
2. Do you do anything else other than reply to Discussions, or is there a reward for having this many posts?
3. The problem resolved itself after having been turned off for twenty-four hours.

Premier Elements 11 installed but does not launch

I installed premier elements 11, the installation did not have any problems, but when I click on the icon nothing happens. It does not give an error message, is does not try to do anything, it simply does not launch. I uninstall, turn off the norton software, did a clean boot to prevent other services to load, re-installed the software and the problem continues.
I have window 7 64 bits 8 gb memory, more than enough disk space. What else can be wrong that is preventing the application from launching?

Hi,
Could you please try the following solutions and see if any of these work:
1. Navigate to 'PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe' located inside:
    Win x64: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
    Win x32: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
     Right click on 'PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe' and select 'Run as Admin'
2. Just after this keep on pressing 'Ctrl+Alt+Shift' on Windows (or Command+Option+Shift on Mac). You will get a popup asking to delete Elements settings file. Click Yes.
If the above does not work, please try the following:
3. Please rename SLCache folder present at location "<root drive:>\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache"
Also please rename opm.db on your machine to resolve this issue @ <root drive>\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Now re-launch the application.
4. In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
5. Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
If none of these work, please let me know.
