VS Express refusing to load

I've not used VS Express for a couple of weeks, and now it comes up with an error message when I double-click on a solution's icon. Of course, as the message isn't cut-and-pasteable I can't reproduce it here,  but it implied that some element in VSE
was missing and suggested that I'd reconfigured something. The only relevant thing that I can find is that there was an update to SQL Server (which my solution doesn't use). It also suggested that I should look at the log file, which had 4 errors
in it, two of them with very long messages which mean nothing to me and which I'm copying in here. The other two message simply say that it couldn't start. The net result is that the solution explorer shows no files, and I just can't get anywhere.
If I try to load a recent file it says that it can't find the file which is, I'm afraid, nonsense. If I tell it to load from the Open File... menu it says that "An External component has thrown an exception".

There are many reasons for this ranging from new software or updated software on your machine to video setting changes even though the issue was not video related which happened with me when a video driver changed and various things failed in the IDE,
took a while but I zero'd in on it and fixed it via video settings under tools, options in the IDE.

  • Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

    Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal.  I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved.  Here is the steps sent to me
    Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
    Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
    (should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
    Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
    1. Click on Applications
    2. Click on Utilities
    3. Click on Terminal
    4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
    5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
    If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

  • On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". They are all registered. Help

    On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Each device has been registered onto this account and this computer, and all have worked finely in the past. I am so confused as to why now seemingly without reason, none of our apple devices (one iPod, two iPhones) are allowed to have music and other material downloaded onto them. Also, as a side note, they still are charged by plugging them into the computer, however they do not even show up on the left-hand sidebar in iTunes.
    It should also be noted that for my iPhone it does not allow for the new update software to be uploaded; it just says that an error has occurred, nothing more.

  • Imovie 08 refuses to load after upgrading to Leopard

    I got Leopard for christmas and after upgrading imovie worked fine until I upgraded to imovie 08 with ilife. Now it refuses to load after it bounces it just stops and acts like as if I didn't even do anything. I've tried disk utility, and a bunch of other stuggestions but it dfidn't work.

    Yes I did all of them. All of them appear to load except for imovie. and I did the installment of ilife 08. For some reason a folder appeared for the older version of imovie and that works fine even though i installed iLife 08, it suddenly made a folder today saying imovie (old version).
    I don't get why it is doing that when the others work just fine.
    Yes the display options are correct
    The only one I know of is the divx codec I believe that is it.

  • Firefox 4 refuses to load pages on my mac os 10.5.8 and brand new laptop as well- i gave to force quit over and over- can i revert to an earlier version? will the problem be fixed soon? - previous versions worked fine

    ever since i downloaded the 4.0 version of firefox, it has not worked on either computer[ macs] - earlier versions worked fine. It refuses to load pages and freezes [ on various sites , not just one]so i have to force quit it over and over.

    HI,
    Empty the Safari Cache from the Safari Menu Bar more often.
    Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

  • PhotoShop 2.0 refuses to load properly

    Why does my Adobe Photoshop program 2.0 refuse to load up and gives an error message personalization information incomplete . I've reloaded it filled out everything . It's older than E mail registration requires either Fax Phone or mail . How can I circumvent that portion of Reg. ?.

    Noel,
    There was a time, long ago, when Adobe had at least two "starter level" programs, PhotoDeluxe and also a Photoshop LE. The latter was more often seen bundled with a camera, a scanner, or similar. Think that my copy (never installed) came with an old Nikon scanner, but that WAS a long time ago. I believe that PhotoDeluxe was sold separately, but it might also have been included with some bundle. Though I never used it, I thought of it as more of an Image cataloging program, with limited Image-editing capabilities - not too far from the early versions of PSElements w/ its Organizer, but with a reduced set of editing capabilities, however, I might be wrong.
    For less than professional needs, I agree that PSElements would be something that I would think about. It is bound to be much more full-featured, than PhotoDeluxe was, and PSE 11 will run with contemporary OS's. It is really not THAT far behind Photoshop, and the price is very good.

  • Some websites say that the connection reset, but after following the instructions to fix it, it still doesn't work, and recently they simply refuse to load.

    Recently, Mozilla has refused to load certain webpages for me, saying that 'the connection was reset' or sometimes not loading at all. I don't know what's wrong and if it's just me. So far, I've had problems getting onto Random.org, Serenes Forest.net (which actually didn't load a few times), and Dictionary.com. Is there something wrong with my internet, and if there is, what? And why does this happen? (I don't have wireless internet, if that helps deduce the problem.)
    I know that maybe this sounds like something that doesn't have to do with Firefox, but Firefox never did this before, and my computer has always worked fine before, so I think maybe something happened to my Firefox that's corrupted it in some way. Has a problem like this come up before, and if so, was it already solved?

    If you are using wi-fi:
    1- Are you connected?
    2- Check if you have full access or only limited access, limited means no internet connection provided. (if so, proceed step 3)
    3- Ping your wi-fi modem IP address:
    ping 192.168.2.1 (my modem local IP Address)
    If you get high number in round trip time (in miliseconds), turn off your modem for about 1 minute.
    3- ping any site that did not load
    Wish it may help

  • I edit movies onMac OS X using Final Cut Express and down load to desk top in .mov format. How do I load finished movie to i pad 2? i tunes will not transfer it.

    I edit movies onMac OS X using Final Cut Express and down load to desk top in .mov format. How do I load finished movie to i pad 2? i tunes will not transfer it. Thanks, stevefromnorthfreo

    Try outputting it as a MP4 or M4V
    If Final Cut won't output it, Mpegstreamclip will convert it. So will Quicktime if you have the pro version.

  • Safari refuses to load phpMyAdmin icons

    Safari refuses to load image file from our web server phpMyAdmin because of content-security-Policy, yet all other browsers such as Chrome load the images (icons).  Attached is a screen shot. This is version 4.01 of phyMyAdmin and the same problem occurs all the way back to phpMyAdmin version 3.5.7 which loads the images (icons).  I can find no content-security problem. Hopefully, I have posted to the correct community since only Safari is creating the problem. Running Safari 5.1.9 on Snow Leopard (10.6.8)
    All feedback is appreciated.

    I had the same problem. I'm also running Safari 5.1.9 on Snow Leopard (10.6.8). I just installed phyMyAdmin 4.0.5 and got the same results as on your screenshots.
    The problem is the CSP header that blocks the load of external images.
    If you comment out some lines in phpMyAdmin-4.0.5/libraries/Header.class.php, you can deactivate the image blocking of the CSP header.

  • IMovie refuses to load.

    It seems that whenever I try to open iMovie, the GUI refuses to load. I can see iMovie up in my tool bar and according to the computer, its running just fine. It might be just coincidence, but this happened right after I downloaded a software update. How should I go about fixing this problem?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    Is imovie up to date, have you installed ilife support 8.2, are your display preferences set properly for your display.

  • How do you continue a game app on a restored device that refuses to load the old game?

    I have recently today restored my device since I have frogotten the orignal password to my iPod at that time. I reinstalled all of my apps, and most of them seems to load the old game I had on my device (thanks to my GameCenter account). But, there are 4 games that refuse to load the old game. Flutter: Butterfly Sanctuary, Mini Pets, My Talking Tom, and Naughty Kitties. The only game that mentions my game saved on my GameCenter account is Flutter, saying "Sorry, your Flutter account is already associated with a differnet GameCenter account." Flutter still plays from the start.
    What I am trying to say is that there are games I redownloaded that will not connect to my GameCenter account after restoring my iPod. Is there any way to load my previous games back onto my restored device? The only app I really want to keep is Flutter, because I had made a lot of progress on it.
    I'd recommend a person who's experienced with the apps I have listed to answer my question, but if anyone else knows a thing or two, go for it.

    Just what do you mean by "refuse to load the old game."?
    He means the progress of the game. Like where he was, what level he was on, his lives, etc.
    As for the OP, restore from an old backup and use lllaass' directions. Then restore as new.

  • Refuse to load new home page at start (Window 7)

    After the recent updates, the browser refuses to load a new home page at start. It "remembers" the old address, always. Probably it has not altered the registration line after the change even though it appears to have at that session. Therefore, when open again, it reverts back to the old home page address. Cheers.

    Hi yuenct,
    You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
    There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
    If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Indesign CS3 refuses to load

    Hi, i would be grateful for any advice if you have experience of the same.
    My problem is that indesign CS3 refuses to launch all of a sudden.  About two weeks ago it just wouldn’t (and still hasn’t) loaded.  When i click on the application the spinning donut appears beside the cursor as if it is going to load, but no splash screen appears. and then the spinning "donut" next to the cursor disappears.  If i then start my task manager i can see that indesign.exe is running and if i try to open indesign again another occurrence in task manager will load and so on.  THATS IT, any ideas please?
    i am running Vista 32bit.  the software has worked fine for at least a year and then it just refused to load.  All other creative suite applications run fine (although i am scared to say that due to their temperamental nature).  I haven’t actively installed any updates for any adobe programmes or windows updates prior to the problem either.  The only thing i can think i have installed recently is a new version of iTunes and that’s it.  I am up-to-date with service packs and updates for vista too. 
    i have repaired indesigns installation - No joy, i have uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled indesign - No joy.  i have also removed the registry entries and data for indesign in the "user app data folder" for indesign when uninstalling and still no joy once re installed.  its driving me mad.
    Please note i have spent the last 2 weeks trawling and i mean trawling Google and the adobe forums for advice.  i have tried many suggestions but am open to any you have to offer, i just want to avoid people thinking i am coming here without researching myself first.  i did try one suggestion which is where you start the machine in safe mode and see if indesign cs3 loads then, which it does, but once i restart to the full usual mode - nothing
    Thanks in advance, i appreciate any useful advice

    Hi Peter,
    i have noticed the following -
    i have two user accounts on my PC (running vista).  One being my personal one and the other being an Admin account (i set this up as i had to do something that required permission - i forget what now - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/).  If i log into the admin account i can launch Indesign as intended, "one click and open".  However it still refuses to load in my personal account.  i cant see how any updates etc wouldnt have been applied globally - so whats the difference?
    I know that probably doesnt help much but thought you may have seen similar or in the past or it may help you identify my problem from past experiences?
    Thanks
    Matt
