Xfce Windows Manager not working.

Hey guys, my Windows Manager [Xfwm4] upon logging into my main account is not working for some reason. I can not see the windows borders, exit/min./max. buttons, only 1 work space is available, and over all the DE just looks "weird". I was on a previous xfce4 on main and preformed a GTK theme install [http://xfce-look.org/?xcontentmode=100& … a4461bc34d], and got it working, then i edited my /etc/slim.conf folder because I wanted a new slim login theme. And then rebooted, but when I rebooted my WM was not working [I cant even access setting -> Windows Managers]. I try googling this and checking the wiki but with no avail. How can I fix this? Also if you need more info on what I did before the WM stopped working just ask...
Thank...Ace

Password Manager not working with any internet browsers

I have Thinkvantage password manager installed (v. 3.20.0311.00) on my Thinkpad X201. I am running Windows 7 professional, 64 bit. Password Manager works for all programs except IE8 or Mozilla Firefox (eg. works for Outlook, works for iTunes, etc.). When browsing, the program simply never pops up. It worked previously, and I still have many saved website login details, but it never logs in for me any more and new sites do not activate the program.
I have made sure that the add-on is enabled and I have checked the box next to "enable 3rd party browser extensions" in the advanced tab of internet options. I have also tried resetting internet explorer settings. As mentioned above, this in not only a problem with IE8; it also occurs with Firefox.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Same problem here. I just recieved mine (Win 7 pro 64 bit, X201 Multitouch) last week and password manager not working at all in ANY web browser. It recorded my .net password just fine, but i can't get it to work in IE8. Who pays this kind of money for something that doesnt work?

Popups: Navigation from view to window does not work

Hi,
I open a second window as popup. This window has 2 views embedded, displaying view1 first. On some actions I would like to navigate to view2.
Defining an outbound plug on view1 and an inbound plug on view2, connecting them and firing the outbound withith the onaction works absolutely fine.
However, for some reasons I would like to avoid a direct navigation, but would like to navigate from view1 to the popupo window and from there to view2 (or maybe another view, ofcourse also embedded in the same popup window). Unfortunately I fail on this scenario - I can fire the view-to-window plug, but the destination on the window side (handle in method) is never reached.
Since the same concept works fine on non-popup windows I wonder whether a navigation from view to embedded window does not work for popups?
Any idea?

Hi Yashpal,
no, just one window.
The first link is view1 -> window, the second window -> view2.
I.e., I fire in the view the outbound plug, which is connected with its window.
In the window I fire an outbound plug, which is connected to view2.
In theory this should work - for non-popup windows I do not have any problem at all, however, for popup windows the navigation from view1 to the window is not processed.
In the meantime I played a little bit further: Instead of firing a navigation from view1, I now fire an event defined in the component contoller, on which an event method is registered within the window. Doing so, I reach the window, which I didn't reach via the navigation link. Once in the window, firing to view2 works just fine ...
Hope the issue is a bit clearer now. Also I found a solution, I am surprised that the simpler way via navigation does not work.

After the updating firefox 5.0 the internet download manager not working (not compatible) can you explan why?

After the updating fire fox 5.0 the internet download manager not working (not compatible) can you explain why?

Add-on developers need to keep up with new versions of Firefox as they are released and update their product. Have you checked with IDM to see if they have an update for you to install? Or ask them when they are going to have an update ready for 5.0.
Another thing you could do is to install FlashGot. <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashgot/ <br />

The developer of Flashgot, Giorgio Maone, keeps his extensions compatible with versions of Firefox that are still in development - future release versions.

W7 64 BIT Password Manager not working

Using CSS 8.3. Can use fingerprint to log into W7. But the Password Manager feature will no longer work.
Known issue?
I'm also dual booting with Vista 32 bit. In Vista it works fine. Could the problem be one BIOS chip since its hardware connected (I think) but 2 OS'?

Same issue Network Discovery not working and Windows Update not working

I've read the threads.
This is a Vista Ultimate upgrade. My OOOOH My I have clocked 8 hours
Everything was working before. I tried all of the recommended services turning on restarting.
Also, ran into the problem of my memory being eaten. Suspected cause hibernate mode, which I had to disable. Scott Hasselman blog recommended the fix which is a cheap work around that limits machines functionality!!
I'm and IT Engineer specializing in MS product lines since Windows 1.0. MFC foundation classes etc.. What is the real problem ?
I don't have the NetBIOS over tcp/ip in my services?
I figure that the cost of my time and other individuals pays for the OS four times over. Give me a Microsoft developer subscription or something to make me happy. This is my development machine and I'm loosing time and money.
FYI, Just upgraded my second machine to Windows 8.1 OMG !!2 Hours to upgrade after the download. I loose my configuration settings. I required to have a Windows Live whatever account!!! This is not the way to compete and keep customers.
Windows XP has been by far the best deployment experience. I need a Knowledge base that gives solutions , not a troubleshooting scenario that does or does not work!!
Please , don't tell me to go and by a OEM Surface I cannot recommend this to my clients.
Thank You

Hi,
If it worked previously, a quick solution is to run System Restore and get back to the previous status when the issue didn’t occur.
What is System Restore?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-is-System-Restore
When you turn on network discovery, do you get any error prompt?
Please check if you have any error message about network discovery in event viewer.
Open Event Viewer
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-Event-Viewer
What information appears in event logs (Event Viewer)?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer
Please use Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com/) to upload the Error logs to a public folder and share the URLs with us.
Also, please temporarily turn off your firewall and all the security programs for a test.
As far as I know, Network discovery requires that the DNS Client, DNS Client, Network Connections, Network Location Awareness, Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Function Discovery
Resource Publication, TCP/IP Netbios helper, SSDP Discovery, and UPnP Device Host services are started and set to automatic.
You should check again if you have started all these services.
Regarding the update issue, I suggest you try the following suggestions.
1. Temporarily disable firewall and antivirus program to test the issue.
2. Open the Windows Update troubleshooter
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter
3. Reset Windows Update components

Windows updates not working because it extract patches on Mac partition first., Windows updates not working because it extract patches on Mac partition first.

I have installed BootCamp 5.1 and Windows updates not working because it extract files on Mac partition before installation. Is there any workaround for same ?

To replicate this issue - Try to download .net framework 4.5 from microsoft website and than run that setup on windows partition.
Before installation. it will first extract all the binaries to a other drivers, since in my case other primary drive is E which is a Mac partition so it always give me an error while extractiing and therefore setup is not able to execute propely.
Let me try to get the screen shot of error and send it here.

This is not HP's fault - this change was caused by Google.

Desktop Manager not working with Windows 7 - Error message received Not Responding

Hello
The issue of not connecting with desktop manager started in May 2012. When I plug phone into computer I can see files. USB works fine as I am also able to use all ports with other usb items. I downloaded the latest download manager again today January 14, 2013 and again the desktop manager says non responsive and program will not start. I have windows 7 and the desktop manager did work in April 2012 with this computer (windows 7). Help with a solution would be great.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I suggest this thread:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-...
It starts with a process for cleanly starting over, and there is some discussion, and there is also a post (15) with links to older Desktop Software versions, if those are needed. Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.
Good luck!
