Expose Mess

I've seem to be having a huge problem with Expose. I use the sides buttons on my Mighty Mouse to activate Expose it works, but when I place my pointer over the selected window and then click it just doesn't work. command + tab, doesn't actually change the the "window". Any help?

You've done almost everything I'd do but I can recommend a couple more things before you hit the Genius Bar. First, though I doubt it will have any effect, you never know how various settings interact with each other. Reset PRAM. Turn the computer off and then restart the computer while holding the Command-Option-P-R keys. This combination must be pressed before the grey screen appears and held until you hear the computer chime twice. Check trackpad settings to see if the double finger keypress is set and then see if it works.
If the problem still exists try rebooting in Safe Mode ( restart and press the shift key as soon as you see the grey screen and release after the Apple logo appears). Among other things it boots the computer with a minimal set of drivers and deletes cache files. Your problem might be in a munged cache. This is another I doubt it will work but I've seen a Safe Mode restart solve lots of problems I'd never have figured it would affect. After it has started in Safe Mode restart and see what's up with your account.
If the problem still exists create a new user account, log into it, set up the trackpad preferences and see if it works. If so, you know the issue is somewhere in your user settings. Time to scream. If you erase the computer and migrate you may well migrate your problem right back to your user. I had such a problem and after spending a weekend futzing around I wound up copying all my data to a new account and rebuilding my preferences (and serializing software).
If you are still nowhere the last thing to try (if you are up for it) is erasing the hard drive and reinstalling the OS. The nice thing about OS X is how seldom we have to resort to this step, but sometimes it is the solution to our problem. If you do this and your trackpad now works you'll have to decide whether you want to risk what I mentioned earlier about migrating the problem right back.
And now it is time to make your Genius appt.

  • HT1338 What the **** is this? Expose messed up

    Paid $20 for messed up Mission Control? Why isn't it showing my Open Apps Only glitched icons and a Thin line for The Preview App.
    Can anyone help with this?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Press Shift key in boot and restart. If it doesn't work, open Finder, press Option key, select Go > Library, delete com.apple.dock.plist, open Terminal and type:
    killall Dock

  • I just updated to 10.7.2 and my expose is messed up.

    I just downloaded and installed the 10.7.2 update and whenever I use exposé, the windows have goofy designs all over them.

    Try restarting Safe Mode, this may help. If it doesn't please post back, I'm also hoping you had the foresight to backup your system prior to upgrading. Going forward when you update the OS I'd recommend using the steps outlined in Update Process.

  • Expose Gallery not loading to includes folder it seems?

    My includes folder may be messed up somehow or perhaps the expose gallery is not functioning percisely. The gallery is not loading more than 50 photos without crashing. Cant get a second album to download to the includes folder it seems. The function is just not working properly for some reason. Should I start over and reload the plugin? Also when I download It makes me download all of my entire folder again, it takes an hour or so when I only need to download the new gallery!

    I'm not familliar with Expose Gallery.  Is this a WordPress plugin?

  • Hidden Acrobat comments exposed through Apple Mail Maver-ick

    Acrobat Pro on Maverick has botched up the capability for me to hide areas of an edited Acrobat document. I created many PDF documents and over the last 5 years.  I will create a rectangle of solid white in the comments tool and a cover selected areas of copy I want to hide from the intended recipient, or add typwritter comments over the white box I create to modify the original content. This process of editing my estimates worked well in all previous versions of Mac OS until Maverick.
    I have not upgraded my macbook and it created the covered file which I sent through G-Mail then opened it in my iMac with Mavericks and Apple Mail and the type was exposed the copy I covered up. 
    Mavericks has messed up Acrobat's commenting function.
    Rich

    I hate to break it to you but maybe your system for redacting content was flawed for all these years.
    The comments box isn't intended for this & you may have been leaving them exposed in other PDF readers. Simply layering white comment boxes doesn't necessarily remove the underlying text, especially when the text is 'image based' on another layer. It's equivalent to using a post-it note to redact a physical document, the text still exists if you know how to lift the layer.
    PDF Pen is another app that can redact sections if you want another tool. Acrobat should have an actual redaction tool, check it's help. Also look for updates as Eric suggested. 
    Mavericks may actually be saving you from an incorrect assumption.

  • Problem with the expose

    Sometimes when I use it (expose) I am not able to see the all the windows in the usual way, I can just see the icons. That happens very rarely, but has been happening for quite a long time (more than 4 months). I initially thought that it was because of Safari so that I uptadet and stop using it. It seems like the frequency of the problem was reduced. but it is still happening. I have all the latest updates available for my mac, so that I don't know what else I can do. The problems solves immediately after y sign out and then sign in again. Below you may find an image of the way the expose is displayed.

    You know when you slide 4 fingers down the trackpad and all the windows come up? I believe it's called expose'? Well recently when I slide 1 finger up the trackpad or even using the mouse expose' will come up. It happens about half the time when I'm trying to move the mouse up. This is very annoying especially when I'm trying to click up top then I have to slide down to open the box then expose' pops up 4 or 5 times in a row.
    Is there a way to fix this problem?
    Thank you
    You need to set up your preferences for trackpad. Head over to your System Preferences>Trackpad. You'll be able to make sure everything is set up right. You can also change the sensitivities. Also, go to System Preferences>Exposé and Spaces, and make sure you don't have a hot corner set up for Expose. You might be moving the cursor to a corner, which activates it.
    One other issue is that you have to make sure you have the number of fingers there that you think you have. Sometimes, for example, my thumb rests on the trackpad, messing up how it interprets my motions.
    You'll get used to it.

  • The top row of keys got messed up?

    tried to turn up my volume with the volume up button and it did the expose thing.  After pressing more keys i come to find out that the whole top row of my keyboard is messed up. none of the buttons work how they should. how do i fix this?

    System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab > uncheck "Use all Fkeys as standard function keys."

  • Someone messed with my settings, now Spaces working differently

    This is what always happens before: I'd have windows open (let's say Firefox at fullscreen and a small Pictures window), and Pictures would be in front of Firefox because it's active. Whenever I decide to transfer this smaller window to another Space, I go to my Hot Corner to activate Spaces and I just drag the smaller Pictures window (still in front of Firefox) out to another space.
    Now, I think someone messed with my settings 'coz whenever I activate Spaces, the smaller window goes behind the bigger window and I can't access it to drag it out to another space. I hope you guys understand what I mean. I've found a temporary solution for this by pressing my Expose button while Spaces is activated, but I'd really like to get my old settings back. How do I do this?

    Are you sure that the pictures window is the active window? Is the name of that program (maybe iPhoto?) the name in the Title Bar when you hot corner to Spaces? When you go to the Spaces view, it should replicate the normal view exactly. The only item that I can't test this with is Firefox because I don't have that installed on my MacBook; but, Safari plus a smaller window in front replicate like they are supposed to. As far as I know, there is no setting or preference to change to where the open windowed screens will switch because you activated the Spaces view.
    Try and test this with 2 windows that don't include Firefox and see if you get the same result.

  • Weird effect with my "spaces" and "expose"

    All of a sudden today, my expose started acting strangely. It's difficult to explain but here it goes:
    I have my spaces set up so that if I move the cursor to the lower left corner all open applications are displayed. But today for some reason, that is no longer working. Now only the application I am working in is open. Furthermore, the other ones are sort of "hidden" down below the dock. They aren't "in" the dock though.
    To get on of my other application windows to appear, I have to click on the icon for the application in the dock, ie the original application icon, not the application window. The application window is not in the dock, unless I minimize its window.
    But when I click on the application icon, the window will re-appear, re-open, and a little white square box with a hooked arrow appears briefly as the window re-opens.
    I hope this is making sense.

    Yes I messed with the preferences for fifteen minutes but I couldn't find anything that looked like what is happening on my computer. I'm using ox 10.5.8.
    It just started doing this out of nowhere, as far as I can tell. You know how you can have several opens open at once. Well I can't do that now. Only one at a time, and all the others disappear, they don't go to the dock, but to this hidden place. I can't access them unless I click on the original application icon in the dock.

  • I exposed MiniNT as the default operating system. XP wont start

    I have a thinkPad T61 that I now updated with SP3 but I managed to mess up my partitions and more specifically the bootup partition. I am not sure what I did but when my PC boots up I now go directly into Rescue and Recovery.
    I tried to start up the PC with my XP install CD and went for R (Recovery). Somehow these are the repair options
    1: c:\MiniNT
    2: d\Windows 
    Clearly I have exposed the  c\MiniNT as the default operating system and that is why I now boot up in ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery.
    I would really appreciate if somebody has some hints on how to fix this 
    Thanks you 

    I've tried installing, reinstalling and removing and installing itunes 9.1 but the program will not start. I have clicked on the desktop shortcut, the itunes.exe in the program folder but all i get is a brief loading hourglass and then nothing. I have checked in task manager and the programs itunes.exe and ituneshelper.exe are in the processes window but the program is not visible on the desktop.
    Starting some basic-principles troubleshooting here, if you're game.
    The first thing to try isn't a cure in itself, but can rule out some possible causes of problems, and narrow in on others. We're going to check to see if this is a systemwide issue or if it is specific to one particular user account.
    From the Start menu, choose Control Panel.
    Open Add or remove user accounts (If using the Classic View in Windows Vista, open User Accounts. Then open Manage another account).
    Select Create a new account and follow the instructions to complete the account setup process. Give the new user account full administrative rights.
    Once the new account is created, choose Log Off from the Start menu. Log into the newly created user account. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
    Launch itunes in the new account. The setup assistant will/should run. Do not add any files when prompted to do so (if things get that far). Just let it eventually open to an empty library.
    ... does it eventually open to an empty library? Or do you get the same sort of behavior as in the usual user account?

  • My MAC is running very slow and i am a complete novice and don't know what to do. i have had my Mac since 2008 and its probably in a mess. if you can help i would be grateful. EtreCheck version: 1.9.15 (52) Report generated 8 September 2014 09:09:26

    My MAC runs very slow. Rainbow wheel every time i try to go somewhere. Im a complete MAC novice. Only really use it for iTunes and email. the odd document here and there. The odd spreadsheet. Was brought up on a PC. I would imagine my system is in  mess. I think i downloaded that Mackeeper which i have just discovered was not a good idea. I found a thread about EtreCheck and it suggested i posted the report of my machine which i have done.I only have 2GB of space. Not sure how much i have left. My wife keeps putting photos on here like they are going out of fashion. Bought the machine in 2008 because everybody said you have a MAC. I've never really got to grips with it but at least it worked. Now it does not run very well at all. That spinning wheel is driving me mad. HELP please, never ever used a forum light this either so please go gentle on me. Cheers Paul

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • I have been really messed up and defrauded by your employee. I have the email proof through this site, besides witness's.

    I have a record of my email and post regarding my problems with Internet Explorer 11, with my Windows 7, not working and connecting to other sites not nearly working as well as Int. Explorer 10. I was just told by support since I didn't have a case number,
    I had no proof. My email account in Microsoft is the same as with Verizon. So, I have proof on this site. Now, after I posted my complaint reg. Int. 11 not working nearly as well with my Windows 7. An employee from Microsoft took control of my computer for
    the 2nd time without notice. I was SO VERY clear about wanting to go back from Int.Ex. 11 to Int.Ex.10. An employee actually restored by computer without me asking from 10 back to 11, after I had some issues with hackers. As stated in my emails to you, Int.
    Exp. 11 never seemed to be very compatible in working with the add-ons and communicating to other sites. The guy who took over my laptop without permission, I thought was helping, ignored everything I asked for. I worked through the night and for about 10
    hours with him. I had to make 16 backup/restore disks, per him doing all the actions through Homegroup. I didn't even know u could take over my computer controls without permission. He made changes after changes, while I mostly kept my hands off the keys throughout
    the night and the day yest. I was just putting in disk after disk when it would pop out and he had the notice keep popping up, when he wanted me to change disks. I have not slept or ate for two days, cuz I kept working through hardcore stress. I didn't even
    follow what changes he was making cuz it was going to fast with things popping up everywhere. I would just have to ender Adminstrator ID and enter a few items. I did not make an alteration, cuz I did not want to mess it up. He completely ignored my email/post
    about consistently wanting to go from Int. Exp. 11 back to 10. I was so ill and tired, that I could barely keep up. After working with him, by just inserting disks mostly, I sent an email at the end to Microsoft saying that I don't think his repairs would
    work. This due to many issues, but mainly still not getting the add-ons for my different drivers. I had Google Chrome, Bing and the Int. Exp. 11 I wanted reversed, cuz he still could not get all the add-ons to work, with red checks over them and saying disabled,
    as long with other issues. I just kept having to put in my Adminstrator  passwords and he used my guest access as well, which I never use. I was so frustrated. NOT NEARLY AS UPSET AS A FEW-FIVE HOURS AGO, when I found it was worse than ever and the main
    thing I complained about and asked for, Int. 11 going back to 10, did not happen at all. There was just Int. Exp. 11 and he even took off my Google Chrome. I had no idea that my computer could also look different with different users. Icons being larger and
    in different places. It upset me horribly because I am ill cuz the stress I have been under and have not even ate since this began. I have proof via emails and also spent 10 hours following his lead. I had no idea, when I turned my laptop back on, it was NOT
    ONLY NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, BUT HE KEPT Int. Exp. 11 and never made the change. There were so many pages up, I could not see what he was doing. It took me 16 disks to just copy all the stuff in the drive. I also used tried to use the small cards, when the
    disks went way too fast. Now, my laptop is worse than even, with things saved all over my files, where I have no idea of what is what. He typed in the names to these backup files and I was too sick to keep up at all. I was so exhausted and sick at the end,
    I was just glad he was done. Like I said, I sent an email while he was still working on the issues, to you saying that it does not look good at all and would probably not work. He closed the approx. 20 windows that were open quickly, when the last disk backed
    up all the changes. I was feeling so horrible, I  had to just shut the laptop off and pray. Then, after resting for hours, I turn it on to find NO Int. Exp. 10 and still Int. Exp. 10. Many of the add-ons issues and a bunch of other things were worse than
    even. I called in for help, he was pretty rude, cuz I was/am exhausted, sick & upset. My laptop is arranged differently and also does not function correctly. I could have just uninstalled 11 and installed 10, like I asked about in my email. My files even
    said Int. Exp. 11 going to Int. Exp. 10. He ignored me and also left my computer way worse in other ways, with software uninstalled and items rearranged.  The guy who I spoke to a little while ago said I had no proof I even worked with him. Not only do
    I have records of what was sent, I had people swing by and they saw what was going on. I was complaining to them how exhausted/sick I felt for being up so long w/o food, while feeling helpless. The guy I just spoke with gave me case #1278021415. My email sent
    you guys while he still controlled my computer is through Microsoft. So, I am certainly not some crazy guy. I actually have been able to fix issues by hackers, etc., worse than this before. Now, my computer is way jacked, I need to work in a bit, and am so
    sick over this. Plus, I will probably have to hire someone to reverse all this horrible damage done. I cant believe even the computer looked different under my Admin. name & guest name. So many issues that I did not have and he did not even listen to what
    I wanted to change. I could have swithed 11 to 10, but I wanted to know the effect it would have on Windows 7 and docs, if any? I believe he worked on it so long, cuz he felt bad for going into my laptop the day before, without any notice, and restoring my
    computer back from Int. Exp. 10 back to 11. He was trying to help, but I did not even ask for any at that time. Now, my computer is jacked, I don't really trust all the backups disk/files, cuz so many. I could tell he knew what was saved where though. He did
    it all. I just was assisting, watching and trying to keep up with copying the info and putting in disks. Now, I am stuck with a messed up laptop and your tech wanted money from me, after your guy messed up my laptop bad, crazy things changed in 2 different
    settings/names and I have been not able to eat or sleep now for two days cuz of this. Then, your guy questioned if I was telling the truth. I have lots of property and am successful. I just didn't feel I should pay a company for unauthorizingly changing and
    breaking my stuff, while making me stressed and ill. I have 2-3 techs that handle issues, if I don't feel like dealing with them, but I actually know what to do on computers pretty well when not sick and rushed. I am no tech, but certainly no idiot. Its not
    hard to see things were not going well with red warnings all over the place and saying add-ons were disabled with big red marks over them. I am sure your tech knew, that is why he closed it so fast. Why did he not even try to change what I asked in my email??
    He completely ignored me and now I am ill and have a laptop way worse. Suppose to do some work in a bit, but I am so exhausted, hungry and back issues from all this typing leaning over (had X-rays a few weeks ago). I don't know what to do at this point off
    exhaustion and also being questioned if I was making it up or something. I have witnesses and the email. My headed on email that I sent through Microsoft is I want to go from Int. Exp. 11 to Int. Expl. 10, cuz the add-ons don't work as well and I get booted
    way more easily, or cant even reach other sites. I know it can be restored again, but it had issues before that I spend time and money fixing. I feel take advantage off and now blackmailed cuz your employee insisted that I pay for him just looking at the mess,
    your other employee created. Just makes me more sick. I could trust Int. Exp. 11 to work and now I feel no trust and much deception by your company. I will probably be sick for days and I know my back is out again and I am cramping cuz no food and ALL stress.
    I had an employee over watching me deal with all this happening, not friends, etc..  I saw he was using Homegroup and took down a few things. I knew it wasn't going well, but was in no shape to argue. Are you guys doing to do anything about this, or put
    the blame on me for trusting your employees. I just asked a couple questions and complained. I never said anything about hacking into my computer and messing my life up. This just is not right at all. A laptop is a pretty cheap fix for me, but I did just pay
    a guy over $200 to get things working well again cuz of hackers utilizing all the negative aspects about going onto some sites. I cant believe this happened. I cant believe this came from a large company, which I thought I could trust. Again, I have the email
    I sent while he was stick backing up the changes. It took hours, literally for all those darn disks. What will you guys do about this, cuz I am too sick to do anything for a bit. I was in the hospital just a couple weeks ago, cuz of stress and issues of this
    sort. Its so wrong!!  I want to give my info on here, but I am sure you will have it. The guy even said I didn't need to put my email address, I believe, or was it name, but I put it on my email sent anyway. I never lie!!  I look forward to your
    response, C. York   Also, the email address I use is for Verizon and I would prefer if u just sent it there or both places. I don't even want to look at this thing for a while, but my anxiety over this will probably force me to. I wish I could put
    in a phone number. Maybe I can somewhere, cuz I would like to know what you are thinking about all this. I know I got wronged, but I wish I knew who exactly. Like in my 2 email, while he was working, I saw "Hagan", I believe in response to a first
    post. I responded and asked question after reading it. I noticed when I went to post in public a bit ago, that I had never done that before. Just sent email direct, especially the 2nd, in which I have confirmation from your company. Again, last guy gave me
    case #1278021415. I thought I could trust your employee, so I did not get a bunch of info from him. I hope u know who was working on it, since he was when I emailed you. If you don't get my info somehow, please email me here, so we can communicate. I might
    post this a few places or keep it to post. I am so upset and shocked. Thank you!  C. York  

    What I wound up doing was installing the newest of the newest versions of firefox (it's at 5.0 or something now, I think). That just made all the plugins, add-ons, and extensions I wanted to get rid of obsolete and it auto-removed them on its own.
    I do really appreciate you taking the time out to try and offer some solutions though. Thank you very much for your effort!

  • Messed up Windows 8.1 install after using Boot Camp 4 drivers

    Hey guys, I just finished successfully installing Windows 8.1 on my Mac with Lion. There were no issues there, but I royally screwed up the Windows partition after trying to install the Boot Camp support software from a USB flash drive. I didn't look into it enough and am now realizing (after the fact of course) that I needed Boot Camp 5.1 for support for Windows 8.1!
    I realized that something was wrong when I tried to install the drivers and software from my Boot Camp 4.0.4 and I received a prompt on Windows telling me that it expected Windows 7 instead and then asked me to run in compatibility mode to see if that works. I stupidly clicked yes and then my Windows locked the screen on me. So of course, I unlocked it and the display is all messed up with my battery indicator at the top left, most of the screen is black and a small portion on the right side is not black. It instantly locks itself again. I can only repeat the process with no way to correct it (that I know of).
    Is this install of Windows 8.1 salvageable? I am getting the new drivers from Boot Camp 5.1 now, but it won't help if I can't even get to the desktop for Windows. Help!

    Right - this would be the easiest thing to do. Will I have issues the Windows license being activated again? I have actually never had to reinstall before so I have never had license issues.
