Yoga 2 Pro: Google Chrome does not open properly

Link to image
I have a Yoga Thinkpad 13.3 convertible which I recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 with no apparent problems. A few days later I tried to open Google Chrome - the screen wouldn't open properly and wouldn't respond. I tried to uninstall the progam and couldn't do that either, or download a new version. A computer technician friend has since managed to get Chrome to uninstall and cleared the registry and downloaded Chrome again but it still isn't working - the screen shot is what it's like at the moment and he is baffled, he's never come across this before. Is there a conflict between Chrome and Windows 8.1?
If anyone has a solution please explain in simple language I'm not particularly computer literate when it comes to technical speak.

Chrome works fine in 8.1
Try creating a new user account, then uninstall/reinstall chrome using the offline installer.

Hi Stephen,
What version of MS Office are you using?
Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
• Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
• Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
• Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com POP port: 995
• Outlook.com POP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes

Address bar google search does not open in the current tab

When I do a address bar google search, the search window does not open in my current tab (which is usually a newly blank tab window), instead it opens in a previously opened tab window (or sometimes even a new tab), but never does the search appear in the current tab. When it does this, it ofteb replaces a web page which I can no longer view it without going backwards.
The only fix I have found is to open a new tab and go to Google's web page and search from there. But, this takes extra time and I have to remember to do this. Otherwise, I might lose web pages I wish to view.
This never used to happen until recently. I have a Mac using Lion for the past year.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Anna

I appreciate your input, but I don't want the google web page to open in a new window.
Instead, I want to search using the address bar in using google to open the search in the tabbed webpage I am viewing, rather than open another tabbed webpage. When it opens in a different tab from the one I am in, it either creates a brand new tab, or more problematically, opens the search in an tabbed window which has an existing webpage I still want to access for viewing.
This is a Firefox issue. Address bar searching works as it should in Safari.

Clicking Lync meeting URL in Chrome does not open Lync

We have some staff that use Chrome as their default browser.
In OWA, if they click on a URL to join a Lync meeting, and the Lync 2013 App is installed on their computer, the App does not open. Instead a Lync Web App opens.
Is this happening because of a shortcoming in Lync or in Chrome?
We'd prefer not to set IE as the default browser and not to install the IE Tab chrome plugin - I guess I'd like to understand a bit more about why the full App isn't called?

There is a chance that this issue is caused by Lync using a deprecated model in the plugin. Honestly, I don't even understand the second half of the previous sentence, but a similar issue in Chrome for Mac was traced to that root cause. Quoting
from a Chromium developer:
#12 [email protected]
Okay, thanks; that's what I needed.
The reason this started with Chrome 22 is that we dropped support for legacy graphics and event models (QuickDraw and Carbon, respectively) that have been deprecated for several years. To remain compatible with Mac Chrome 22+, plugins need to negotiate the new CoreGraphics and Cocoa models. Almost all the popular plugins have updated over the last several years, and I had reached out to the vendors of plugins I was aware to let them know. I hadn't heard of this plugin, so I hadn't contacted them.
The fix here is for them to release an updated version of their plugin. If their plugin doesn't draw or handle events (and it sounds like it doesn't, but is just a bridge to the app) then adding the negotiation to the plugin is a trivial change in their plugin.
I don't see any contact info for them, so what would help is for anyone experiencing this to contact Microsoft Lync technical support or any other contact point you have to let them know that their plugin needs to be updated, and point them to this bug for details. Feel free to provide them my email address in case they want to follow up in any way.
With a view to getting help from the Microsoft Lync team to investigate this, I've opened a call with Office 365 support. Initially, first line support could not get permission to install Chrome and replicate the bug, and thus wanted to close the call
as it potentially related to non-microsoft software. I've asked for the call to be escalated to a more senior tier that would have permission to install Chrome and hopefully someone somewhere is working on it.
Can I ask that anyone experiencing the same issue please raises a call with Office 365 about this, as a flurry of similar calls at the same time will get someone's attention - as all of us that work on helpdesks know too well!
Thanks to the 12 people that have starred the issue on the Chrome bug tracker in the last week.

Help - Yoga Pro 3 Apps Will Not Open

I am looking for some help troubleshooting why my apps will not work.
I click on an app, the app begins to initialize, but then immediately closes. I am then sent back to the windows start screen. Any app I attempted to open will show up in the task manager side bar, but the apps will still not open if clicked from the sidebar.
Any help would be appreciated!

While doing a clean install may be the final solution know that you have to visit multiple locations on your drive to "properly' remove DVDSP. There is a technote on this topic. An incomplete removal only seems to complicate things.
Create a new account as Hal has suggested and see what happens. If it does not work focus on getting the current DVDSP off the drive(leaving other pro apps in place), ditch preferences, and fix permissions.
Using both accounts do a random check of the remianing apps to make sure there is not a complex issue happing on your drive.
Reinstall DVDSP but open the app (not your project) first in the new account. If all si well then do the same for your account.
If all remains well then open your project. If it works then you are gold; if it doesn't at least you have knowledge that something within your project is off balance.
OT: This is one of those "dark arts" ideas that seems logical to me but has no practical justification. With DVDSP off take your project folder and move it to the Public folder. Then fire up DVDSP and open the project. You'll get the broken links message so point to the new location and let the links rebuild. This task might fix things behind the scenes.

Google Chrome won't open properly in Lion

I have just upgraded to Lion and I am having a number of difficulties, my BTYahooo home page won't display properly in Google Chrome browser, even though it will in Safari. I also used to be able to get Dock Art working with itunes but it has now stopped working, apparently I have to down grade to 32 bit, however I do that? can this be right, I have to downgrade the whole of itunes to get it to use this feature?

Not sure what you are seeing, but Yahoo Home page looks like this here in Chrome:
Pretty darn interesting, that shark encounter.
On any addons to iTunes or other Apple apps, you will have to wait until the 3rd party supplier updates the app to work correctly. Should not be too long, as most developers want to eat at the end of the month.
Cheers!

My Google Toolbar does not open. Requires m e to close Firefoxn and restaret. Damn irritating. Need fix Pronto.

I have Google Toolbar installed. However, it does not show all parts of the toolbar. I have to close Firefox and restart before the full Google toolbar shows. This is irritating at best. Have been tempted to switch. If I am unable to find a solution, I WILL Switch.

First, let's confirm that your change is taking effect during the same session.
After changing your home page setting, and before closing Firefox, if you open a new window (Ctrl+n) or click the Home button, do the 6 pages load?
Second, let's confirm that your settings file is getting updated.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Scroll down and look for a file named prefs.js (if the .js is not shown, Windows is set to hide file extensions; you can switch that off using the steps in this article: ).
If you right-click prefs.js and choose Edit, it should open up in Notepad or a similar text editing application. If you search in the document for '''homepage''' can you confirm that the line which starts as follows now lists the correct URLs?
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "''your pages...''
If those check out, then some process that runs after you exit Firefox appears to be undoing your change. Here's a possibility:
Some security software has a feature to protect you from unwanted browser changes. However, this also can prevent you from making changes you want to make. If you have Advanced SystemCare, or if any of your security/utility software has a feature with a name like Browser Protection, Home Page Protection, or Surfing Protection, try turning off that feature.

Firefox freezes up on Facebook. Google Chrome does not. Why?

When I log on to Facebook it freezes and i cannot scroll up or down. This does not happen on Google Chrome

The Facebook news feed usually includes some videos. In case those are causing issues, you could temporarily set Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate"). This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it.
To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
Not sure whether that will help.

[SOLVED] Google Chrome does not work on my T61

SOLVED. THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE OF SYMANTEC ENDPOINT PROTECTION.
Hello Everyone.
I wonder if anyone can use Google Chrome on T61.
I got my T61 from Hong Kong 5 months ago and I am using Windows Vista SP1 32 Bit Traditional Chinese.
After I installed Google Chrome, it couldn' t connect to any websites. I had tried to uninstall it and even reinstall my computer, but it still doesn't work. The Internet Explorer does work.
Surprisingly, I can connect to different websites using Google Chrome when I use Windows XP on Virtual PC. It seems that it's related to the OS itself. I will try to use Vista on Virtual PC, but I hope that you guys will be able to solve my problem.
Thanks you very much.
Edwin

It might be helpful to provide some more details such as: will it not install?, will it install and not run?, will it run but give error message?, etc, etc, etc.
Another option may be to use the Google Chrome Help site which has

Google TGM does not open new tab

I only use the FF search bar in the upper right corner, no other toolbars are installed. The google search with the little blue "g" opens find within the same tab that is currently open. The Google(TGM) used to open the search page in a new tab and not automatically switch to it - I liked it. Since updating past FF19, it has lost this capability, it now opens in the same tab that I'm already in.
I have set the manage search engines.
I have gone through troubleshooting.
I have reset Firefox.
I have checked all the add-ons.
I have gone through the tab group management process.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Type this in the Search line at the top. <br/>
'''browser.search.openintab''' <br />
= search bar results always open in a new tab
Double-click that pref to toggle it to '''True'''.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium does not function properly since 10.10.4

Problem #1.Since upgrading to 10.10.4 I have developed a very annoying problem. The printer will only print one time with the 2-sided option. After it prints if you look in the system preferences the option setting for 2-sided printing is no longer selected. If you once again select it, it will again only print one time before this error repeats itself.Problem #2.I keep 8.5" x 11" paper in both trays. But I cannot get the printer to take paper from the other tray when one runs out. It does not seem to matter which tray I select as the default tray.

Hi , I see that you are having issues printing two-sided and the paper isn't feeding from the second tray when the first tray is empty. I would like to help you.

Should I update apps to ios 8 version on my iphone 4? For example: Facebook messenger does not open properly.

SShould I shut off all app updates from settings?

An iPhone 4 cannot be updated to iOS 8.
Apps that require iOS 8 won't run on an iPhone 4.
You should be able to use the Facebook Messenger app on iOS 7 > Facebook Messenger on the App Store on iTunes
If the app won't open properly, reset the iPhone.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then try that app again.

AppleScript: Final Cut Pro X library does not open! FCP X AppleScript reference?

I am trying to automate a few things within Final Cut Pro X. In the Apple Script Editor, in the list of Dictionaries (Library Window), FCP X does show up. But when I click on "Open Dictionary", nothing happens. Any idea why and how I could get around this?
I would really like to know, which FCP X functions are available from AppleScript. Thus, I don't necessarily need the Dictionary in the AppleScript Editor. Any other list would do as well. But I can not find some.
I checked whether FCP X is actually supposed to have an AppleScript dictionary by using the script mentioned on this page
http://books.gigatux.nl/mirror/applescript/0596008503/applescripttmm-chp-12.html
The answer is yes.

I am trying to find out the same thing, Till have you found an answer to this? Can you contact me directly please as I'd like you to help me with scripting.
