  • Pse trial v12 installed but when opening the editor it shuts down after 2 seconds, what can be the problem? I have windows 8.1 64 bit with the latest video drivers installed. Thanks

    PSE trial 12 installed just fine but when i start the editor it opens and shuts down after about 2 seconds without an error, the only thing that appears is a message with 'continue trial'.
    I have windows 8.1 64 bit and i already installed the latest video drivers, intel hd 4000 and nvidia geforce 710M.
    I also installed premiere elements version 12 with the same problem.
    What can be the problem here, please help?
    Thanks.

    Hi roberto-
    Yes, its a shame. I have also contacted lenovo support hoping that they can sort out this problem. However, first response from them was 'contact your internet service provider since internet connectivity goes down'! :-/ I am hoping I have been able to get through to them now at least about where the problem lies. I wonder if anyone has tried using the laptop with the same broadcom wireless adapter with some other version of OS (linux, windows 7 etc.) and whether they still face the same problem. I haven't tried that yet. If this is just an OS / driver issue I hope someone somewhere is working on a fix! If not, I guess the only other solution would be to get an external USB wifi adapter but that is not something one would want to do when you buy a brand new Lenovo laptop. This was a big let down for me.

  • Sometimes when I click on a link Firefox opens a blank page. How can I fix this?

    This happens mostly when I am trying to subscribe to a site or email a page or information. Can you help please?

    Try start Firefox in Safe Mode, sometimes addons cause this issue:
    *[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in safe mode]
    Try scan your PC, can be a malware:

    Try get a pop/ad blocker, sometimes this is results of ads:

  • Every time I open Firefox another page of Firefox opens that has adds. What can you do to help me fix this issue?

    When I boot up Firefox, my default web browser, Firefox appears and then it loads another page of Firefox that has adds. How can you help me with this issue?

    This unwanted page opens as a second tab, or as a second window? The usual cause of this problem is a bad add-on. Here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and removing bad add-ons. I know it seems long, but it's not that bad.
    (1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. ''Don't be fooled by seemingly innocent or important names if you do not remember choosing to install them.'' Take out as much trash as possible here.
    (2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    * in the Windows "Run" dialog, type or paste <br><code>firefox.exe "about:addons"</code>
    In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
    In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions. (Note: you might not be able to manually Disable extensions in Safe Mode because they are disabled automatically.)
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    (3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
    Success?

  • What makes a file open automatically after download? I'm trying to stop it. I don't know whether Firefox or Sumatra controls this.

    When I downloaded a .pdf file, it opens automatically after download. I want to put it back to where I have to click on it in the download window in order to open it.
    This happens with every .pdf file I download.
    I am using Sumatra 1.5.1 to view pdf files.

    Change the '''Action''' for that file type.

  • On our shared laptop we had three music libraries. When I switched on the laptop this morning they had all gone. They are not in the itunes folder either. How do I get them all back please?

    On Our shared laptop we had three music libraries. When I switch on the laptop this morning there were no libraries in itunes at all. It's as if ituned has installed itself from new and that we never had ipods? As far as I know no updates have been done. I restored the laptop back a couple of days and after restarting it still no libraries. How do I get them back please?

    Try browsing out to and opening these alternate iTunes library using the instructions in this document.

    hello,
    yesterday I installed os yosmite  on MacBook pro. today im unable to login when I switch  on, my laptop. please help me out as soon as.

    Hi, I have a similar problem. When I try to log in all I get is a light greyish screen. absolutely nothing else, I wish now that I had not loaded Yosimite.

Can anyone assist me ASAP. Thankyou John  L

  • Hi guys I deleted my extension"bitdefender antivirus"but when I switch on my mac safari open up itself asking to instal the extension above what can I do to avoid this pain in the behind?Thanks

    hi guys I deleted my extension"bitdefender antivirus"but when I switch on my mac safari open up itself asking to instal the extension above what can I do to avoid this pain in the behind?Thanks

    Uninstall "BitDefender" completely, not just the Safari extension.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • Firefox opens automatically when I log in?

    We have an iMac with four different user accounts. Whenever I log in on my account, Firefox opens automatically, and it seems to take a long time. This suddenly started happening a few weeks ago, and I certainly never tried to make my computer do this. Firefox does not open automatically when any of the other users login. How do I make it stop happening, since I don't always want Firefox right away?

    Go to System Preferences>Accounts>the name of your account>Login items at the bottom of the list of accounts and look at your login items. Remove Firefox and it will stop opening when you log on.

  • My norton tool bar has not loaded when I switched from IE to Firefox

    My Norton tool bars, for phishing and Identity Safe, disappeared when I switched from IE to Firefox. I reloaded Norton to see if this would help but nothing changed.

    You can import the IE Favorites via
    *Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Data from Another Browser
    You can also export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.<br />
    That way you also preserve any sorting that you may have done in IE with the Favorites.
    * Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
    * Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

  • How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start, but keep last sessions?

    How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start? (keep last sessions as well) It will be good, because Firefox wont load the previous sessions last watched tab after start straight away, but keep my previous sessions tab as well in the browser.

    Hello,
    You can change your home page settings to open a blank tab:
    * Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
    * Beside "Startup", change to "Show a blank tab"
    * See the article [[Startup, home page and download settings]] for more information
    To retrieve your previous browsing session, first make sure that you are not running in [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit|Private Browsing mode]]. When you start Firefox, to recover your previous session, you can go to:
    * History (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > History) > Restore Previous Session
    * Please see [[Restore previous session - Configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs and windows]] for more information

  • Firefox opens up, but, this morning, I can't access any links via Firefox. I can via Explorer. I prefer Firefox. Help!

    Firefox opens up, but, this morning, I can't access any links via Firefox. I can via Explorer.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that 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 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.
