When I open a document , the document goes to the right of the screen and I cannot see it.

 I have HP Windows 7.   It happened when I initially purchased  computer in 2010 and now it happened again.  I tried to right click off the screen to drag it in but it doesn't work.
It is doing this now when I download from an email and try to view the download and when I open a document in MS Word and Excel.

This can happen if you have ever connected a second monitor,
opened a document in that extended display,
and then closed the document in that extended display...
Later when you have only one monitor, that is, your main display, the document is still opening in that "ghost" monitor.
I do not know if this is what you did, but if yes, then the fix may be as follows..
Go back into your Display settings and set your monitor to display to just ONE (your main) display. 
Your open documents should pull back into place in your main display area.
Kind Regards,

  • When opening Powerpoint, the file opens outside of the screen, and I cannot use it, nor can I open a new ppt. How do I rectify this?

    When opening Powerpoint, the file opens outside of the screen, and I cannot use it, nor can I open a new ppt. How do I rectify this?

    Usually the Window menu allows you to adjust window placement in Microsoft Office products.
    If not, connect an external display or projector and change the resolution to the maximum.   
    Save the document with the window residing on the main screen with the Dock.
    That will force it to open on the main screen in the future.

  • When i open my firefox,the screen is blank nothing is there.

    in config: page i change url as blank. when i open my firefox,the screen is blank nothing is there. only blank screen will display. there is no menu bar,title bar etc..

    Do you mean that there are no toolbars visible?
    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br>Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.
    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    My Photoshop CS 5 has some strange actions when I copy a portion of a photo using the clone stamp  to transfer to another part of the image. It carries the entire layer (not just the stamps selection) across the screen and I cannot place it where I need to. It appears as if I selected the entire layer on purpose (which I did not)
    The below items appeared when I opened Photoshop CS 5:
    “Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled G & U enhancements. Check the video card malfunctions website for latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the performance panel of preferences.”
    (I believe this started after the automatically updated Windows was applied. It was coincident with the before mentioned problem . . . but I don’t really know if it had anything to do with it. )

    For the Clone Stamp problem, check the Clone Source panel and Clipped is probably unchecked.
    If so, check Clipped and see if that makes a difference.
    (Window>Clone Source)
    As to the video card problem:
    Which version of windows are you using?
    What is the make and model of your graphics card?
    Do you know which update windows installed?

    You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

  • I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

    I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them only as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

    Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
    Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to?  If you do then bring it in and then use  iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
    If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows:  make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library.  But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
    Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB.  That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash.  You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

    I can tell you that this is some of the absolutely worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I found out from a store employee that when they are really busy with calls, they have third party companies taking overflow calls. One of those companies is Xerox. What can a Xerox call center rep possibly be able to authorize on a Verizon account?  I'm Sure there is a ton of misinformation out there due to this. They don't note the accounts properly or so everyone can see them. I have been transferred before and have asked if they work for Verizon or a third party also and was refused an answer so, apparently they aren't required to disclose that information. I spent a long time in the store on my last visit and it's not just customers that get the runaround. It happens to the store employees as well and it's beyond frustrating.

    I hit the magnifier tool on my iPad and now it only shows a portion of the screen and I cannot get out of it. What do I do?

    Which magnifier tool are you referring to? If you double-tap with 3 fingers it should disable zoom. Then you can go into Setttings>Accessibility>Zoom and turn it off.

I used to tap on it and sometimes it worked but not no more , I even broke the screen and cracked the back  so now what ??? this I-phone 4 is the worst phone i have had . I started with the first I-phone  tthen the second and third and they were all good , in fact my kids have them now . Since I got the I-phone 4 nothing but problems.and its only A little over A year since i got it

    I am having the same issue.  ** MY IPHONE IS TURNING OFF RANDOMLY ** and it's driving me crazy. 
    THE SYMPTOM... I am using my phone fine and then when I go to send a text, take a photo, etc, it just turns off. This started a few weeks ago after upgrading to the new IOS.  The 'symptoms' increased in frequency and my phone started turning off more frequently.   I took my Iphone to the apple store. They reset the phone to factory standards and the problem still exists.
    THE PROBLEM: The guy at the Genius Bar said he knows there is a known software issue, and this looks like it's affected my processor.  BUT this was only after I told him that I have been reading about a lot of other people having the same problem.
    THE SOLUTION:  Are you having the same issue? ... Reply to this post and let me know.   If a lot of people are having the same problem, Apple will probably just swap out the phones.  My phone is in mint condition except for the new 'problem' its having after I upgraded my software.
