    error on starting

    Hello, actually I have found the answer to my own problem. I have Windowblinds installed and some windowblind skins, seems like most of them, conflict with AE. Once I disabled windowblinds by killing the wbload.exe process it works. Laura

    MS Word Filename

    OK this is a long shot here and if anyoe finds a simpler explanation, by all means. I found this on a website when I was researching your question "The maximum filename length on a NTFS partition is 256 characters" That would be why you can open it. I would have to assume then that when the...

    Adobe Premiere in XP

    I found the problem. I figured I would post it here in case anyone else has the problem in the future. I was really frantic for a while, this is our livelihood here LOL. The problem had nothing to do with photoshop. My husband ran an old DOS version of a game (GTA) and somehow it messed with our...

    Can't save image on transparent bg.

    thanks, that did the trick. I was on 256 colors but once changed to auto it works beautifully. Also appreciate the tip about matte. I always wondered what that was for too. Thanks again!

    Outlook windows foreground

    Honestly it sounds to me like the user is just clicking too much. I have done the very same thing at work when I am in a hurry. They probably clicked twice to open the mail, which was going to pop up in the foreground but then might have quickly clicked a third time in their inbox, thus making...

    Can't save image on transparent bg.

    Blueark, thanks, one more question though. If I am working with a round image, say a curved button for a web page, and the background is already transparent, when I do save as web and select gif, it turns the square area around the button white, not transparent. Is there anyway to avoid this in...

    Dreaded Black Screen on windows XP boot.

    I hate to say this but it sounds like your hard drive may be damaged or corrupted. If this is the case, instead of reformatting see if you can get another hard drive with windows on it, just a basic install, and see if you can boot into it and then look to see if you can read any files off your...

    Hi, this might not be your problem but sometimes a similar thing happens to me. I get a blank screen with no icons. Sometimes there is a start bar that does not respond, sometimes nothing but my mouse. It seems the actual explorer.exe program crashes. It can be restarted through task manager yes...

    XP won't play old games

    Hi, just a quick question to see of anyone has run into the same thing. Before switching to XP I had a lot of old games for 95 and 98 like Sim City, Need for Speed, etc.. I find now some of them will not run and others run very badly. I have tried setting the properties of the program to rum in...

    Word error

    I am not a programmer but I hope this might help. I ran into a similar problem once. I think I was running win 95 or 98 but it has been a while. It seems that Word was set to auto-save the document every once in a while and for some reason once it tried to autosave an error occurred where I...

    Can't save image on transparent bg.

    Hi, also in case you ever need to do a GIF here is my solution. I do not save for web, have never gotten a GIF web version to do transparency either. Make a new layer under everything that is just blank and transparent. Hide that layer and then in the layers palate select "Merge visible", This...

    Cells changing distance and missing Rollover.

    I am actually running into the same problem and there a few things I do to fix it but they do not work all the time. If you draw a cell in DW layout mode, where you can hand draw cells and tables, you cannot enter text or pictures that are larger than you drew the cell to be. It will try to...
