Sorry!

The Application HTC Sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly.
Please Try Again.

The only option available was Force Close, and soon as that was pressed the message would appear again.

I tried the solutions listed at http://myhtcdesire.com/tutorials/fix-the-application-htc-sense-process-com-htc-launcher-has-stopped-unexpectedly, if the directions on that site work all the better, however if you are in the same boat as me those directions did not work.

My Problem:

On my phone I did have any way of getting to the search, nothing on screen, and no buttons would work.  Just hitting force close brought the force close option up instantly again and I had no time to do anything. So how did I get into the settings menu?

How I got into the settings menu:

The only way I was able to get was to do a factory reset though the boot menu.

You can perform a factory reset by (second half of this video) restarting the phone while holding the volume button down.  This will cause you to boot into your factory menu where you can select factory reset.

Once the factory reset gave me more time to react before the error popped up. Once the reset was done I was prompted with an introductory video all about my phone. I went through all the prompts until my home screen was loading. Right away before anything loaded I pushed and held on the home screen. This caused the option to add a shortcut to the home screen. I was able to add a shortcut to settings and get to it that way.

After that I was able to clear the data to go to Applications > Manage Applications > HTC Sense > and Clear Data. However this did not fix it for me. Instead I had to clear data on all my
applications until I found the one that was causing the problem.

Did this post save your expensive phone from being a paper weight? Did it save you hours of fustration? Consider buying me a coffee!

Recently I was working on a customers computer and when loading a page with a flash video on it, the video would crash.The following message was displayed in the system tray.

Display driver stopped responding and has recovered.

The machine I was working on was a Dell Inspiron n5010 with a ATI mobility Radeon HD 5470 video card running Windows 7 x64bit. After all the normal troubleshooting and making sure I had the most up -to-date drivers I still had the issue. I ended up coming up with the following solution.

The solution:

Disable Hardware acceleration by right clicking on any flash video, going to settings and unchecking enable hardware acceleration.

I hope this saves someone a head ache.

The problem:

When trying to uninstall TrendMico Office Scan you are prompted for a password.

Solution:

• Start -> run and type MSCONFIG
• Under services and uncheck TrendMicro Unauthorized Change Prevention Service
• Restart the computer
• Start -> run type Regedit
• Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TrendMicro\PC-cillinNTCorp\CurrentVersion\Misc
• Changing the AllowUninstall value to 1

You may get a page reading “Navigation to the webpage was canceled”

The solution:

Right click on the file, go to properties and select unblock.

Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.

The solution for me was to go to Start -> Run -> and type Outlook.exe /resetnavpane

Part 1 - Customizing the Installer:

Get the tools that you will need to complete this job:

Use this account for the following steps.  To make an account login to your LogMeIn account and click users on the left hand side. Then add a new Administrator, and give that account the ability to Deploy Computers. When a new computer is added you will want to edit that user and remove rights to that computer if you choose to do it this way.

Most of this information came from http://www.msfn.org/ by writting this post I hope to save you from digging through 8 pages of post, and give you the most relavent information for the newest version of LogMeIn.

 
Edit: 08/02/09:
Thank you Dale for pointing out a spelling mistake and an error.

Steps to take to fix the black canvas:

Adobe recommends that you try to update your video drivers to support GPU processing, and if this works I would take this route as it will make Photoshop more powerful.

If that does not work try the following:

1. Open  Photoshop go to Edit > Prefrences > Proformance.
2. Then under GPU Settings uncheck Enabled OpenGL Drawing.
3. A restart may be required, but I do not remember for sure.

Well that is what worked for me. I hope this helps others, because at the time when I Googled for a solution there was nothing.

 The Problem:

When installing the latest SCM utility and drivers you receive an error “Failed to install the Z-SAN SCSI miniport driver”  or similar.

 The Resolution:
If your installation already failed and the setup software tells you to restart, you must do so.

Next restart the installation. Select Customchange the default installation directory to anything but the default and then continue. The software should install perfectly now.

You can get the latest software from Netgear’s support page.
