Windows feature page blank

Hi everyone. I got a envy h8-1513c running on windows 8 64-bit. I went on my windows feature page and I mistakenly unchecked all the features. At this time, no applications or programs were working. I paniqued and I went back to the windows features page and I checked all the features...Unfortunately, it did not solve the issue: I was still not able to run the windows updates and to open files, apps or programs. I ran the BIOS update and when the system restarted to configure the update, the automatic repair started itself. The nb restarted and everything is working fine. Now I'm able to run windows update, open files, apps and programs. However, when I go to the windows features page, it's just blank. . .what can I do to fill it out again. . . does it really matter if it's blank, I mean the nb is working fine so maybe it's not that bad...please help me for this. I have a lot of questions in my mind :-(

Solved : Turn Windows features on or off is blank or empty while opening

Successfully solved : Turn windows features on or off blank fix
If you are going to enable or disable or installing any feature in windows 7, you have to do the setup through “Turn Windows features on or off” in
Programs and Features.
When you click on it, Windows Features dialog will appear asking you to “Please wait” and it will start searching for a list of windows features such
as games, indexing service, internet information services (IIS) and etc that you can turn on or off. Windows Features is actually pretty much the same as Add/Remove Windows Component in Windows XP. You can also run Windows Features by typing optionalfeatures.exe
at run or command prompt.
ISSUE:
In Windows 7 while going to enable “ Turn Windows features on or off “ in programs and features left side option the dialog it will be came out empty
or blank.
Normally you can able to see “please wait” initially after it tries to list out all the features, but if the machine having issue then it totally shows blank.
For this issue Microsoft has created a knowledge base 931712 to acknowledge the problem and also provided 2 solutions to resolve this issue. but this solution is didn't work & it will not rectify this issue.

In version 3.6 I can not open a website link from original page, I keep getting a new window that is blank and asking me to put in a web address. What has changed with the new version?

When on a page if I click on a web link I get a new window that is blank and asks me enter a web address. This started happening with the new 3.6 version. It seems to have something to do with what I choose for the location in my privacy settings as the window changes with each setting but I still cannot get to the new site. Any ideas? I have no problem with this in IE and I have to keep opening IE when I encounter the problem on Firefox which is annoying.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

My interface -- buttons (back, forward, reload), firefox tab, groups, etc. -- does not look like the sample on your "firefox features" page. ("Groups" seems not to function at all.) I'm running the current firefox 4 download on Windows XP. Can you help?

Thank you for your swift reply. I don't know that this has helped me, as I've reached my level of tolerance for fooling with this annoying little problem - for today anyway. It has been going on since I "up" graded to Firefox 4. My wife is running 3.6.x on her laptop with none of this foolishness. As BLASPHEMOUS as it may sound, I've gone back to IE for the time being even though I don't like it 1000th as much as I do Firefox.
Not just to rant here, I would say that I found a way to put some buttons on the right side of the toolbar that immediately gave me permission to "back, forward, and reload", but upon closing the browser and going out for dinner with the wife, I find on return that not only are those buttons NOT still on the toolbar, but I can't find them anymore. I think they were in "add-ons" found under I believe Add-On Manager.
I did also manage to achieve back/forward functionality running Firefox in SAFE mode, but this meant no No-Script, among other things, and I've grown too fond of that particular little script to give it up.
I've rebooted, restored, and reinstalled, can't get this formerly completely reliable program to work like it always has. Before looking around on here, I was beginning to think it was my PC.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, cor-el. I'm going to see if I can get on live chat on Monday.

FIREFOX 26 changed the 'post crash' page with the list of windows and pages. It was a real HTML page with links for each page. Now it isn't (and blows)

* You changed the page that comes up after a crash - the one which shows the windows and pages that were up before the
crash.
This used to be a real HTML page and it isn't any more. THis choice was pure isiocy consider how peopel used that page every day (try taking to your users for a change).
The pages listed on that 'post crash page' used to be actual LINKS (you could right click them &
manually open them in another tab - and most peope DID that every day). You could also (and I did this a lot) drag a second
copy of the page, into a new tab (to keep track of all the pages I had not wanted to open)
Now the pages are no longer links. You cannot right-click them.
The thing in the probser is no longer a page that I can drag into a new tab.
Roll the version back and throw this one in the bin...and have a good long talk with your developers about the definition of
'STUPIDITIY'
Then I try to type anything in the addres bar it is suppose to repoond with the history of old things I have types in the past, or
search for what I type (and in some cases I think it tyes to convert it intoa URL). However it no longer does any of these
things. When I type in the ADDRESS BAR ONLY, I do not get all of my letters to appear. I have to type into a notepad or
into the search and to copy and paste to go to a URL. Nothing that is typed into the address bad responds normally at all
anymore, and I am fairly certain there are no new addons on this machine at all. It does not matter which things I disable. It
still does this. W of course points the finger back at a change to FIREFOX. I wich I could just sitct with one stable release
forever but the MOZILLA folk thing it is best to force peopel awy from a working broswer release to a horrible one (due to it
being out of date).
FIREFOX 26.0 has 'issues' (ie new *features*/bugs)
1) History is no longer accurate. My Proof? This machine is the primary one for the entire family (the only PC working). It is
logged in with same user every time and never has its history cleared. It now January 7 so I ought to have a list of all of last
months browing available to me.
However, according to FIREFOX history, in all of December 2013, the entire family only went to 51 primary URL's. None of
the official TV sites I use to get episodes are listed. None of the official movie sites I use are listed. The primary URL for
ebay is not listed. Only 1 out of our 4 weather sites that I use (at least once a week) are listed. Only 1 of our 3 FINANCE
sites is listed. There ought to be several; hundred root URLs listed.
Please fix history as this change seriously "blows greasy chunks"
PROBLEM (a stupid change in the new FIREFOX version)
FOr a long time, after a crash you got a useful page (a real HTML page) which gave you a list of all of your last sessions
'winwos and tabs' that were open when the browser crashed. there were certain ways of using this page that are no longer
able to be done.
The old method was wonderful as it had this behavior :
*** The old method for displaying your 'Recovered Tabs' allowed you to :
a) right click an individual item and open it in a tab without getting rid of that lovely window of your previous session of
'recovered windows and tabs '.
2) drag the URL for the entire window of 'recovered windows and tabs ' to a new tab (to make a second copy) so that you
could select just a few of them to open as a group, and stil have the old list handy.
You can no longer do either of these things. The 'recovered windows and tabs ' page no longer has links in it and can no longer be dragged, so you cant select a few of them to use, and keep the rest around for later. NOW - once you choose which pages to open the window is gone forever (can can't get a second copy).
People used to make a copy of the page for later use (with a drag)
we also used to open pages with a right click (which no longer functions
This new method seriously blows big greasy chunks. A parge loss in function has occurred.
Put things back as they were. 26 is full of terrible changes that NOBODY likes. It also has a lot of bugs (history is not reliable at all)

(1) Firefox's built-in post-crash page has not been a real HTML page for a long time (for example, from the time of Firefox 22, see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968212 Want to save LOTS of versions of "Restore Session.xht" from the "oops ..." page for later use]). If you had this working differently with Firefox 25, that might have been created by an extension.
You can check to see whether extensions are disabled or need an update on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. The disabled extensions cluster toward the bottom of the list. To poll for updates, use the "gear" button above the list and choose Check for Updates.
If you used the Reset feature (or Firefox automatically did a reset due to some problem during upgrading), you will need to reinstall missing extensions. The reset feature creates a folder on the desktop named Old Firefox Data. Do you have that folder? There may be data you can recover from it.
(2) There are many ways for history to get cleared, both internal to Firefox and external. Could you double-check your Privacy settings?
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
* The "Firefox will" drop-down says Remember History: Firefox shouldn't be clearing history, but an add-on or external software could do it
* The "Firefox will" drop-down says Use custom settings for history: inspect the "Clear history when Firefox closes" setting to make Firefox isn't set to clear history. Also check your add-ons and consider external software.
Firefox normally accumulates months of history. However, some of Firefox's database sizes are based on disk space available. If your hard drive is very full, Firefox might reduce the amount of history stored.

Java Applet Certificate Signing Window comes up BLANK!

Hi Everyone I have a problem where
Java Applet Certificate Signing Window comes up BLANK!
It comes up as blank gray panel with the java logo on the upper left.
the title bar says "Java Plugin Security Warning"
And I can't figure out what to do to make it come up properly. I tried double clicking it dragging it around to make it repaint itself nothing happens.
I have tried clearing temp files deleting files from IE, deleting cookies, clearing the history.
Now i'm going to restart the computer and see if it works.
It is supposed to give me buttons.
1. Accept for this session
2. Grant
3. Deny
4. View Certificate
But does anyone have any idea how to address this issue ?
Stephen

You might try setting the trace level to 5 in the plugin's Java console and looking what it spits out while the applet is launching. I remember seeing loads of information in there including stuff relating to certificate validation. It might be helpful.
The trick to getting this info during start up:
1) get the plugin to load by directing your browser to page with a known applet. Write your own little stub applet and load it or go to http://java.sun.com/. There's an applet on that page.
2) bring up the plugin's console if it's not already and then go to a blank page.
3) set the trace level to 5 in the console. (just press the 5 key).
4) go to the page that launches your applet. You'll have tons of information pour out in your console.
Happy hunting.

Window Features , how to use it?

Hi!:
At Property Editor of a portal page I can see "Window Features" but I can't find documentation on what put in it or how to use it.
Can I put some argument to change the color of the page? (and only this particular page) something like "BGCOLOR" at html.
Thanks a lot.
RLS

I find it!.
Window Features: Specifies the appearance of the new window launched by an iView whose 'Launch in New Window' property is set to '1'. Enter a comma-separated list of Javascript parameter; for example: 'fullscreen=yes,toolbar=yes'. If empty, the new window apens according to default JavaScrit parameters

Not opening all my previously opened windows, many are blank!

Why does Safari randomly choose not to open all my previously open windows? Sometimes up to half the tabs/windows show up BLANK.
Often, I'll see the headings written in the tabs in the toolbars, but when I go to them, they are blank, and I must re-enter the page name manually, do a search, then load the correct one. Other times it will just be blank (usually when it's a single window, since the page name is not in the tab toolbar. WHY is it doing this?
Will clearing past history remove the ability to open a window that is open when I close Safari?

Context = this problem has nothing to do with images. The blank pages contain no content at all, no source code. There is simply nothing to reload.
They have headers only, which safari seems to remember separately as tab info. The rest is gone.
I've deleted caches through prefs and developers tools. All the other tabs refresh. The "random", ones stripped of their URLs, do not.
So what is causing this? Is there a pattern? Why are only certain pages effected (some identical to the healthy tab next to it)? Are they cloned tabs? Is it plug-in related? Google searches? Old searches? Why are they flushed from recent history? Does it relate to icloud synching errors? Is the content actually lost during "sleep" mode or application launch?
Has anyone really posted a fix for this?
Saxman is asking exactly the right questions.
Saxman, do you keep multiple pages of multiple tabs open every day? I do. Are some of them reduced in the dock? Are they google search results? New or reloaded every day?
Next time this happens to you, check to see if that blank page is still in your deep history list. (We know that "reload tab" does not work). In the history menu, choose "show top sites". Then click the history button to view all your pages in cover-flow view. Is the url info still there? (You can use the search function here as well).
Do any of the questions I've posted ring a bell?

Cannot use Snagit 8's scrolling window feature with Firefox anymore.

Snagit 8 is a screen capture program. It has a scrolling window feature that captures the whole web page. After the last FF update it no longer functions. It only captures what is viewed on the screen and no longer scrolls down to capture the whole page. I can still do this in IE (blah).
== The last update

same problem for me but no solution. IE8 ok.

Disable New Tab Window Feature

I do not like nor want to use the New-Tab Window feature.
How can I *permanently* disable this feature?
A 'config' page change maybe?

Firefox 13+ versions have an about:newtab page that shows the thumbnails of recent visited websites.

Firefox dev tools inspector window keeps going blank

every few times i switch to FF to debug, the inspector window is totally blank. if i click the inspector tool and highlight html, it will appear to be scrolling over in the inspector window to highlight the code, but the page is totally blank. close/reopen tools fixes, but a few times later its broken again. has been going on for months and months, at least since v32. Using FirefoxDeveloperEdition.

Does this also happen if you use a release version instead of the beta?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":

Page break for Smartform with multiple main window on pages

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement for printing 3 pages. The difference among the 3 pages is the main window part.
The main window contains not only internal table, also complicated texts like payment instructions etc.
The requirement is in each page, the data in internal table should be changed, also payment instruction should be changed accordingly.
e.g:
Main Window of Page 1
Part 1 for Internal table
VAT on ITEM ------- 4O-------60,00------0.00%-------EUR
Part 2 for Payment Instructions
Texts for Page 1
Main Window of Page 2
Part 1 for Internal table
VAT on ITEM ------- 5O-------60,00------0.00%-------EUR
Part 2 for Payment Instructions
Texts for Page 2
Main Window of Page 3
Part 1 for Internal table
VAT on ITEM ------- 6O-------60,00------0.00%-------EUR
Part 2 for Payment Instructions
Texts for Page 3
At first, I was using only one page 'Page1' with a variable page_no = 1 as default value, and use program line page_no = page_no + 1 as counter. when page_no = 2, use command for force page break to 'Page1', then under the command, change the internal table and payment instruction texts. when page_no = 3, ...
But I encountered an error saying:
Runtime Errors GEN_BRANCHOFFSET_LIMIT_REACHED
Short text
Jump distance is too large and cannot be generated.
So I created 3 pages, with different main window M_window1, M_window2, M_window3 for each page. In page1, after printing the M_window1, page_no = 2, use command to go to page2, but page2 is never printed. I think this is because only one main window can exist in a smartform? but why smartform allows creating individual main window for different pages? what's the use of such main window?
By the way, what's the use of command for force page break? only work for one main window in a smartform?
Getting back to my requirement, I think I should still use one page and command for page break. I am trying to solve this.
Thanks.
Li Jun Da.

Now I am using 3 pages: Page 1, Page 2, Page 3.
Page 2, Page 3 are copies of Page 1 with main window renamed as second window: mw 2, mw 3.
I also created 2 command nodes in main window of page 1: cmd 2, cmd 3.
cmd 2 is for page break to Page 2, cmd 3 is for page break to Page 3.
The second window mw 2, mw 3 in Page 2, Page 3 can be displayed.
Even though, I still can't understand how main window of pages (not 1st page) can work.
