How do I turn off graphic effect of Open File dialog box?

There is a graphic effect in OSX 10.4.11 of a slot appearing in the top of the window of programs like Safari 4.1.3  and then an 'Open file..' dialog box emerges from the slot and warps downwards. This is almost guaranteed to crash my Mac!
Please, how can I turn off this effect?
Thanks!
[You don't need to read any further but my problem relates to an archived thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1313995?start=0&tstart=0
In brief, the thread is about some of the old white Imacs over-heating and causing graphics problems.
I still have a largely useable Imac because I avoid using any graphic effects that cause system crashes: Dock graphic effects, Genie minimise feature, Exposé, and full-screen video feature in Youtube.}

I wonder if Quartz isn't the problem & using the Safe Boot driver...
See this great post by themachead on how to list the extensions in Safe Mode with System Profiler then compare to the extension folder!

or disable it?

  • How can open File Dialoge Box in Oracle9i

    can any one tell me how can i open file dialoge box in oracle 9i i am using webutil but when i run this code.. there is an exception during runtime.. not compile time.. so plz tell me how can i open file dialoge box.. thx..
         declare
              file_name varchar2(100);
         begin
              file_name := client_get_file_name(FILE_FILTER=>'TEXT FILES (*.txt|*.txt|');
         end;

    Please do not post the same topic in multiple forums. The
    only thing I can suggest is when they click on the button to
    download, you take flash out of full screen while they download the
    video, you can use fileReference to control and monitor the
    download. Use a listener object to monitor when download is
    complete, then set flash back to full screen.
    How are you scripting the full screen?

  • How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

    How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
    After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
    Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

    Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for.  Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
    Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
    When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
    So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
    *UPDATE  (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
    Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
    Have a blessed day.

  • How can I turn off auto effects to my clips when adding them to my timeline?

    Hi,
    I'm using Premiere Elements 10. When I began my first project and added a clip to my timeline a dialogue box asked if I would like to automatically apply an effect (I can't remember which effect but it makes my clips semi-transparant). I accidently selected "yes" and now everytime I add a clip to my timeline, Premiere Elements 10 automatically applies this effect. I cannot find any option to turn this setting off.
    Please help!
    I have started brand new projects and this setting is still in effect.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Steve's instructions will Delete any added Effect. Note, however, that there ARE several Fixed Effects, that are part of your Clip: Opacity, Rotation, Motion>Scale and Motion>Position, and Volume, for any Clip with Audio. Those cannot be removed, as they are Fixed.
    Good luck,

    Hi,
    I am having a form, where i am opening a file and putting that file content in a text box.
    This is my code written in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger:
    declare
    in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
    linebuf VARCHAR2(8000);
    filename VARCHAR2(30);
    BEGIN
    filename:=GET_FILE_NAME('d:\Rajesh\Practice', File_Filter=>'Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|',select_file=>false);
    in_file := Text_IO.Fopen(filename, 'r');
    LOOP
    Text_IO.Get_Line(in_file, linebuf);
    :text_item5:=substr(:text_item5||linebuf||chr(10),1,5000);
    END LOOP;
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN no_data_found THEN
    Text_IO.Put_Line('Closing the file...');
    Text_IO.Fclose(in_file);

    "FRM-40735:WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-302000.".
    I think the GET_FILE_NAME function is not supported in the Apps Server.
    Is there any alternative solution for getting the OPEN DIALOG WINDOW in Oracle Apps Server?
    Pls let me know.

    Are you sure? I think, that File Dialog, called by LabVIEW File Dialog from Advanced File Functions Palette doesn't blocking any cycles in subVI, which running in UI Thread. Look in my old example (that was prepared for other topic, but may be good for this topic too).

    I think, you must a little bit reorganize you application for to do this. You must put your File Dialog into separated cycle. This cycle, of course, will be blocked when File Dialog appear on the screen. But other cy

  • How to trigger an "open file" dialog box

    I am using forms 10g. Does anyone know of codes to trigger "open file" dialog box in a button object?
    My goal is that the user may be able to select a file from his terminal by clicking a button.
    Thanks in advance.

    As aweiden suggests, there are additional setup steps that have to be completed on your workstation as well as the Forms server so you can use the WebUtil library. If you are using Forms 10g R2, then I recommend you conduct a search of the Forms Help system (Search tab) on "WebUtil" and select the "Configuring WebUitl" topic. If you are on Forms 10g R1 (9.0.4), then you had to download and install WebUtil on your workstation. I recommend you read the Web_Util.pdf in the "DOC" folder an follow all of the steps in Chapter 2 : Configuring WebUtil.

  • How do you turn off the auto info?

    I'm an audiophile and I'm very specific about what genres, albums, etc my music is listed under. iTunes automatic music info feature keeps changing the genres, and occasionally albums, whenever I select a song. How do I turn off this feature?

    How do I turn off this feature?
    Open Windows Media Player.
    Go to Tools > Options > Library and unchheck everything.
    This will keep WMP from changing everything in teh background.
    Then re-edit all your info in iTunes.
    iTunes automatic music info feature keeps changing the genres, and occasionally albums, whenever I select a song.
    It only looks like iTunes is changing the info.
    When a file is first added to iTunes, the file info read and stored in the iTunes database and this is what is displayed. Whenever an item is actually played in iTunes, it will reread the info from the file.
    Since WMP has changed the info in the background, iTunes will reread the info and update the database and disply the changed info.
