When I return from a screen saver or a program that uses the whole screen, firefox 4b7 returns a black screen.

Any time the computer is left for a long duration of time (powers off monitors or goes into screen saver) firefox returns black and must be closed.
The same problem occurs when using a program that goes into full screen (game, etc.)

You can try to disable hardware acceleration.<br />

  • How to return success/failure message in a VBA program that uses ADODB

    I have this little VBA program that uses ADODB to execute a SQL Server Agent job remotely.  How do I add a message box at the end that would give some feedback to the user, if the execution command was successfully sent to the server or if it failed?
    Sub Test_SSIS()
    Dim conn As Object
    Set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    conn.Provider = "sqloledb"
    conn.Properties("Prompt") = adPromptComplete
    conn.Open = "Data Source=MYSERVER;USER ID=JOHNDOE;"
    conn.Execute "exec msdb.dbo.sp_start_job 'Test_remote_job_execution'"
    End Sub

    Hi Tim,
    When I looked up the BOL about the ADO.Connection
    EXECUTE method, something came to my sight.
    "An ExecuteComplete event will be issued when this operation concludes." You may reference the
    ExecuteComplete. A quick glance at the event, it contains the execute result set and errors if occured.
    Regarding your description, your question is more relevant about VBA, I suggest you post your question on a dedicated VBA forum. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
    Here is a relevant link you can reference

  • I lost a video in iphoto.  When I restore from Time Machine I get a thumbnail that says the file fork doesn't exist.  How do I get it back?

    I shot a video on my iPhone.  This got downloaded into my iPhoto during a sync.  It has been there for months and worked fine.  Recently the video was accidently deleted and the trash has been emptied.  I just popped open Time Machine and went back and restored my iPhoto from a back up.  It appeared to restore the video as the thumbnail reappeared where it had been before.  BUT, when I click on it, I get a message that says "the file fork does not exist".  I was also restoring a couple of pictures as well and those restored fine.  How do I get this video out of time machine with a working file fork?

    How did you restore your library from Time Machine?  Did you go into your Pictures folder and then enter TM, go back in time to find the library you want and use the Restore button?

  • Does Touch ID work with a screen saver, or any case that covers the button?

    Will touch I'd work if you are using a screen saver, or a case like Otter Defender which has a cover over the button?

  • PCI-GPIB does not like returning from computer power-save mode. I need to restart the application. Uggh! Customer not happy.

    It seems volatile memory is lost on the PCI GPIB Card. When the system returns from power-save, I cannot get to my GPIB instruments. I have to close the application and restart it. I've tried unregistering and reregistering the gpib globals and resetting the device interfaces (reissuing the ibdev command) without luck. I am using Visual Basic 6, but I also get the Measurement and Automation Explorer to fail in the same way, so I don't think it is my development environment.

    Can you change your power save settings? What operating system
    are you running?
    Also, some BIOS's have options for power save. For example, recent
    IBM's can be set to maintain power to all peripherals, or only to main
    memory. Of course, you would want it to maintain power.
    I suspect the GPIB board and its driver are completely unable to
    handle power save operation. It probably was never considered while
    it was being designed.

  • Qosmio G50-12Q - Screen saver doesnt work if I use wireless mouse

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio G50-12Q
    If you use a wireless mouse does not work the screen saver.
    If I disable the mouse instead of the screen saver runs regularly.
    There is some way to run the screen saver also using a wireless mouse?
    Tank you

    > The screen saver is one program downloaded from internet.
    Well, in such case it can be a software bug too.
    To be honest I dont see any connection to Toshiba here it seems to be an 3rd party software which does not start up when WLan mouse in connected maybe the screen saver developer could provide more details here

  • When I close Photoshop CS6, the following message appears: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file.

    When I quit Photoshop CS6, the following message appears:

  • My macbookpro is not opening pdf sites from safari or firefox, it goes to the address but just gives me a black screen. I can however open a pdf file that I have saved on my HD, it opens on preview. any thoughts?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

    Hi ..
    Might be corrupted preferences.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.screensaver.plist file to the Trash.

  • My problem is a sudden loss of ability to get to PSE12 Organizer when I tried to load a saved scan. Had been using the Organizer and the Editor with no problems for several hours just before that.     Can not load the Organizer from the icon at the bottom

    My problem is a sudden loss of ability to get to PSE12 Organizer when I tried to load a saved scan. Had been using the Organizer and the Editor with no problems for several hours just before that.  
    Can not load the Organizer from the icon at the bottom of  Editor screen, from the icon on the MacBook Air dock (OS 10.10.2),  nor from the file in applications located with Finder.
    I have tried without success to access Organizer after turning off and on the scanner, turning off and on the computer, loading a fresh copy of PSE12 from the CD, and restoring default preferences.  I have searched on line for other options but not  found any. 
    Can you help me?

    My screen opened, and with every click the page (letters/images) got bigger. I can not get it to return to normal image size. I have to use the slide bar to read across the page. What do i do to correct it back to normal size???

    Hi jholzworth,
    It sounds like you might have accidentally hit the zoom button. Try hitting ''CTRL + 0'' to return it to normal size. Just so you are aware, ''CTRL'' and ''+'' will zoom in and ''CTRL'' and ''-'' will zoom out.
    Hopefully this helps!

    Hey 11doski,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the display has a dark screen. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

    hello, my eyesight issue happens occasionally, from time to time i run multiple apps that use the isight camera. when i close each app the isight camera's green light is still active. When that happens the only way to stop the isight camera is to reboot.
    Is there a way to use activity monitor to identify and kill the process controlling the isight? My apologies in advance if this sounds windows (task manager) like.
    Thanks
