Acer S7 screen flickers during videos and when using Microsoft Office Screen is white

Had my Acer S7-392 for about 9 months and it has a problem that i've not been able to resolve. - When on some websites or watching video's (embedded into the website like on Facebook) the picture flickers and is unwatchable. If you scroll so that a little of the video is offscreen the problem stops.- Also when using microsoft office programs the screen just goes white and I can't do anything without closing the programs via task manager. I've made sure I have all the right drivers. Intel sends me to the Acer website for the drivers and I have the most up to date of those. I have phoned microsoft and they say that it is not them and even when remote accessing the machine they cannot see a problem. I'm sure its a graphics problem as other than these two irritating issues the machine works fine. Many thanks in advance for anyones help.

Hi, I don't own an external monitor. I can take the laptop to work and use one there. If I do that and the same problem happens what does that mean? If the problem is not repeated on the monitor what does that also mean? If I can't use a monitor what else can I do? Thanks. Tom

On cleanuing up COM object when using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel

When using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel the COM objects that are created by the code must be released using System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject().
Most of the time it's pretty clear when a new COM object is created such as:
Excel._Application excelApp = null;
Excel._Workbook wb = null;
Excel._Worksheet ws = null;
Excel.Range newRange = null;
try
// four COM objects are created below
excelApp = new Excel.Application();
wb = excelApp.Workbooks.Add();
ws = (Excel.Worksheet)wb.Worksheets.Add();
newRange = (Excel.Range)ws.Range["A1","A30"];
// do these line of cod create new COM object?
newRange.Font.Bold = true;
newRange.Borders.Color = borderColor;
finally
if (excelApp != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(excelApp)
if (wb != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(wb)
if (ws != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(ws)
if (newRange != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(newRange)
In the above code I create four COM objects in the first part that need to be released when I'm finished with them. But it's not clear if the other two lines of code create a new COM object or not. If they do then my code needs to look more
like this:
Excel._Application excelApp = null;
Excel._Workbook wb = null;
Excel._Worksheet ws = null;
Excel.Range newRange = null;
Excel.Font fnt = null;
Excel.Borders bds = null;
try
// four COM objects are created below
excelApp = new Excel.Application();
wb = excelApp.Workbooks.Add();
ws = (Excel.Worksheet)wb.Worksheets.Add();
newRange = (Excel.Range)ws.Range["A1","A30"];
// do these line of cod create new COM object?
fnt = newRange.Font
fnt.Bold = true;
bds = new newRange.Borders;
bds.Color = borderColor;
finally
if (excelApp != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(excelApp)
if (wb != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(wb)
if (ws != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(ws)
if (newRange != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(newRange)
if (fnt != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(fnt)
if (bds != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(bds)
How can I tell if getting a property creates a new COM object or not?

Thank you for your replay but I do understand that the font object is a COM object. What I'm trying to figure out is if a NEW object is created each time I access the font member of a Range object and if I need to call
Marshal.ReleaseComObject on the font object after using it.
Most member object of an object are a single instance and each time you access the member you simply get the pointer to that instance. For example:
using(DataTable dt = new DataTable("Some Table Name"))
PropertyCollection ep1 = dt.ExtendedProperties;
PropertyCollection ep2 = dt.ExtendedProperties;
if (Object.ReferenceEquals(ep1,ep2)) Console.WriteLine("They are the same object");
else Console.WriteLine("They are different objects");
The output will be: They are the same object
On the other hand this:
Excel._Application excelApp = new Excel.Application();
Excel._Workbook wb = excelApp.Workbooks.Add();
Excel._Worksheet ws = (Excel.Worksheet)wb.Worksheets.Add();
Excel.Range newRange = (Excel.Range)ws.Range["A1","A30"];
// do these lines of code create new COM object?
Excel.Font ef1 = newRange.Font;
Excel.Font ef2 = newRange.Font;
if (Object.ReferenceEquals(ef1,ef2)) Consloe.WriteLine("They are the same object");
else Consloe.WriteLine("They are different objects");
The output will be: They are different objects
It looks like each time I access the font member I get a new object. I suspect that is not the case and what I am getting is two pointers to the same object and the reference counter is incremented by one.
So really the question is what happens to the font member object of the Range object when the range object is released. I assume the font member will be released along with the Range object ever if the font object has a reference count greater then
0.
If I am correct in my assumption then I can access the font member object as much as I need to without worrying about releasing it.
I have been reading a lot about working with COM and the need to use Marshal.ReleaseComObject and there does seem to be a lot of disagreement and even confusion on the
mater about when and if COM objects need to be explicitly released.

Scrreen scrolls without input when using microsoft office

When I'm using microsoft excel or powerpoint, frequently as I am editing, the screen will scroll to a different random location. So in excel, I will suddenly be looking at a different location in the spreadsheet or in ppt, I'd be on a different slide. this happens consistently (but not reproducible) every time I use excel and ppt. And I am NOT using the mouse to intentionally scroll using double-finger etc.. There is no problem I'm using other applications. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Remedies?

I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, when clicking a link in Outlook I always get a General Failure box stating 'The system cannot find the file specified' yet it still goes to the specified page. Any ideas on how to resolve this

I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, when clicking a link in Outlook I always get a box stating
General Failure. The URL was "http:// etc etc".The system cannot find the file specified.
Yet it still goes to the specified page. Any ideas on how to resolve this

I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
"Restore" functions, not the
"Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
The 3 backup problems are:
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
some recent Windows update. Thanks.

I created a spreadsheet using Microsoft office 2010 Excel. When I open the sheet using Numbers, the formatting changes. How do I fix this?

If you plan to share or work with people who regulary use MS Excel you should not try to use this in Numbers. You will have constant problems with how each program translates the formatting.
If you want to use Numbers, use it exclusively. If it is for your job use the tool your company uses.

Can I use Microsoft Office for Student/Home for school?

This might not be the right forum to ask this question, but I didn't see any other options listed that dealt specifically with Microsoft Office.
I have to take a class for school that deals with using Microsoft Office Professional 2013. I have a Mac Book Pro Retina so obviously I can't use Microsoft Office Professional 2013. I have Microsoft Office for Student/Home, and according to the Microsoft website, the only difference is that the Home/Student edition doesn't include Outlook emails, calendars and tasks, although I have all three of those programs on my computer.
I contacted my professor for this upcoming class and received no response yet.
Can I get away with using this program? Or am I really expected to buy an entirely new program for one semester of school?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Why can't two people in our house use Microsoft Office at the same time?

When my daughter tries to use Microsoft Office on her MacBook while my husband is using it on his MacBook Pro, she gets the following message: Microsoft Office 2008 cannot start because it is already in use. An Office program is being used by [my husband's name]. Your installation exceeds the number of installations permitted for the license agreement. Click more information to learn more about Microsoft Office licensing." When she clicks on that, the information is nonsensical and overwhelming. Why is it doing this?

Protection. Although I havent come across this myself, the license with Microsoft is obviouly for the use of one computer only. You have clearly violated the license by installing it on more than one machine, hence the problem. This is how they make their money and they aren't alone. But the rules of engagement mean that it is intended for one machine only and not two at the same time. (Sadly).

Microsoft Office Programs Deleted!

When trying to open a word file today I discovered that my microsoft office programs have deleted themselves. They are not in the folder anymore, however the things that accompany them (dictionary, fonts, clip art) are still in tact. This is super frustrating as i have already used the software a couple of other times and cannot just reinstall it. Does anyone know why this would happen? or how i can get the programs?

*"cannot just reinstall it. "*
Yes you can. You're allowed 3 simultaneous installations, not 3 total.
For further questions regarding Office, I suggest you post them on Microsoft's own forums for their Office Mac products, as this forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and completely unrelated to Microsoft Office.

This form template is not currently browser-enabled. It must either be republished as a browser-enabled form, or opened using Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007

Hi,
When I try to open a Infopath related file from Sharepoint, I am receiving the below error.
This form template is not currently browser-enabled. It must either be republished as a browser-enabled form, or opened using Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007.
Office Professional Plus 2010 and Infopath 2010 are installed in my Windows 7 Enterprise edition. Have executed ""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\InfoPath.exe" /cache ClearAll" the command. But still getting the same error.
It works in different machine. Repaired Office 2010 and Infopath.
Please let me know if any solution available.

Hi,
You can try Amit Bajaj's method in another thread which has fixed the same problem for several users:
Check if the default “Form Templates” option in appearing under “View all site contents” page. If it is not enabled by
default, then you can follow this following steps.
If "Office SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Features" is enabled but we don't see the default "Form Templates" on the "View
all site contents" page, then you should use the following steps.
Make sure they have backup of everything.
Opened the site http://<your site url> in SharePoint Designer.
Select the root URL and click FILE >> NEW >> SharePoint Content
Choose Document Library >> Form Library
Under options type the name as “FormServerTemplates” and it will create the content.
Now right click on “FormServerTemplate” and open “Properties”
On settings Tab change the name to “Form Templates” and uncheck the option “Use a template for new documents”
Click OK
Now you should see “Form Templates” on the view all site content page.
You should be able to publish the InfoPath form with "Enable this form to be filled out by using a browser."

How can I use Microsoft Office on two user accounts on one IMAc?

Dear all,
I have installed Microsoft Office 2011 on my IMac which I have recently bought. I did this on the (at that time) only user account in place: the administrator account.
A little time after this my wife and I decided it would be much easier to us to make an additional user account on the same computer for my wife (also with administrator rights), so we could have our own settings, desktop preferences etc. So now we have two user accounts/profiles on one Imac, so far so good.
But when my wife signs in on her account, she is not able to use Microsoft Office . Office seems to be only available to the user account on which it has been installed initially: 'my' account.
Can anyone help us out here and tell us how we can make Office available to my wife's user account as well? I understand that the licence of Office is restricted to one computer, but what about two accounts on the same IMac? I mean, it is still one computer, one 'home', one family etc.
We would appreciate your help here!
Kind regards,
Jurjen

As long as you installed MS Office into its default location (the top level /Applications folder) it will be available to all user accounts on the Mac.
As far as licensing is concerned you only have to enter the license code once, which you should do right after installing MS Office, in the same admin account you installed it from, by opening any one of the MS Office applications. There is no additional licensing required for additional user accounts on the same Mac.
Each user account is able to run the Office apps. The only thing you will have to do is go through an initial setup screen in each user account (but this setup does NOT involve entering any additional license codes).
You may have problems if you installed MS Office in a particular user account (i.e. NOT in the top level /Applications folder).

How can i use microsoft office on the mAC - what app do i purchase? help?!!

how can i use microsoft office on the mAC - what app do i purchase? help?!!

What aspect of Microsoft Office? Office is a suite of programs... Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.
You've got several potential options. Libre Office and Open Office (both googleable) are 'open source,' free, downloadable programmes that will open most MS Office programmes and perform many of the functions of MS Office. Might be an idea to have a look round for reviews (etc) first, to see if they sound like they'll match your needs.
If you're keen to use the App Store, there's Apple's own suite of programmes: Pages, Numbers and Keynote. They're a word processor, spreadsheet programme, and presentation-type programme with similar functions to Word, Excel and Powerpoint respectively. They're pretty good for most functions, and are better integrated with Macs than MS programmes. They're excellent programmes for what they do, and relatively cheap (about £14 each?).
But if you're heavily reliant on MS, want ALL the bells and whistles of MS, or need to regularly transfer files between MS programmes on other computers and your laptop / desktop computer, then they might not be the best of ideas. Keynote - IME - can have some difficulties in transferring formatting to Powerpoint.
Finally, there's MS Office Mac 2011. You can't download MS Office from the App Store, but can order the CDs from most online stores (including Apple's own store). It might be worth price hunting - if you're a student, you can usually find the programmes relatively cheap (£38 at the moment on Software4Students, though you'll need to belong to an academic institution / have a UK .ac email address). Apple's own prices on MS software are unlikely to be the best prices out there (though the product will be identical).
MS Office includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint in the basic version. The slightly more expensive version (which, I think, is the £38 one on S4S) includes Outlook. Which - IME - is far more of a nuisance than Apple's native Mail programme.
(I should probably add - I'm an academic. I own both Apple's own programmes, and MS Office 2011. I tend to use the MS programmes more, if only because they're the ones that other people tend to use, and transferring between Apple and MS programmes is a minor inconvenience. Pages also lacks Garamond, my favourite work font. The Apple progs are, however, far more beautifully integrated, and would be MORE than good enough for most users...)
