Installation Display Problem - missing graphics
Morning folks,
I've just started to install Sun Express Developer Edition from DVD on to my PC and can't get past the first set of graphical screens. The graphic installer starts properly and I get the graphical selections/options on screen but the bottom and left hand side of the desktop are missing. This means I can't select an option and continue because the forward/ok/continue buttons are off the edge of my monitor.
The only answer I've had so far is to use the standard non-graphical install, but this does not install the full Developer Edition which I really could do with.
Can anybody give me some boot up options that would allow me to correctly set the display for graphical installation?
Thanks guys.
I tried IVMichael's suggestion above and had no joy, but when i restarted i found a file called /Users/your_name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServicesQuartantined
after deleting that and restarting i seem to have solved the problem.
Good luck

Display problem- Missing letters
Hello there,
I had a display problem with my 15" mac book pro. Sometimes the words on the menu bar will have missing letters. For example, F le Ed t Vi w and etc. This does not only happen in the main interface, it also occurs when I'm browsing websites (the contents have missing letters too)or open other applications(iphoto, imovie) The problem is getting worse these days, I 'll have to restart my computer every single time when it happens.
Does anyone have any solution to this technical issue?
Thank you very much,

Graphics display problems (dialog boxes) Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1
Graphics display problems Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1 Greetings to all. After having spent a number of days trying to find a solution to a display problem, I turn to this forum for help. I own a Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1 ever since November 2014, and have had display problems ever since the first day, be it while using internet (Firefox or Explorer) or various software (Text editors, etc.). Many dialog boxes, including colour settings and controls (open, close etc.) either have an inappropriate appearance or even do not appear at all! I manage to "click" on the right places using memory: most areas are INVISIBLE! Another example would be that I do not see any backround colour or image on most webpages such as this one). Some suggestions included checking for graphics updates (but the drivers used were already up-to-date). I 'd be most obliged for any new suggestions. Thank you very much. George
Greetings to all, I finally decided to express my utmost discontent with- the Lenovo G50-45 I bought before Christmas 2014,- the summary response with inappropriate links that I received after exposing my problem- the fact that I tried to dowload the following graphics driver (Beema) AMD Driver (VGA, HDAudio, SATA) for Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
exe
526 MB
Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
VGA V14.502.1002.1002-Logo'd_HDAudio v9.0.0.9905_SATA v1.3.1.220;VGA v13.302.1601.1001_HDAudio v9.0.0.9905_SATA v1.3.1.220
3/19/2015from here(http://support.lenovo.com/fr/fr/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/g50-45-notebook-lenovo/downloads/DS100174), and after REFUSING to accept cookies and some "Lenovo Service Bridge", finally managed to obtain something HERE(http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-IdeaPad-G50-45-Notebook-Review-Update.125641.0.html). I find it quite disrespectful to NOT provide customers with EASY support, as well as avoiding to answer their requests for further help when some simplistic "assistance" that one can find almost anywhere on the web leads to no further solution. I shall not repeat the problems I have faced till now: vide supra. The problem, however, is NOT just with browsers.I simply cannot see any dialog box content and colour in MANY software programs, such as OPEN OFFICE; for instance: PRESENTATION colour dialog boxes show BLANK squares instead of squares filled with different colours. This has occured AVER SINCE DAY ONE! Finally, a new bug has appeared: Windows 8.1 keeps popping up some email program to which I am invited to register - I never created a Windows email account, and certainly don't intend to do so.NOR shall I accept some "Lenovo Service Bridge", however "discreet and inoffensive" it might be. I don't know if there are any legal grounds for customers to complain for all these problems. I DO know, however, that I shall NEVER buy a LENOVO device ever again. The pricing and processor might be competitive => yet, the support that ensues is, as far as I'm concerned, LAMENTABLE. To make a presentation, I have to switch to a Samsung R20 using XP..... What is the meaning of all this? George -
Compaq Presario CQ40-327TU Notebook PC Display problem
Hi,
My product is Compaq Presario CQ40-327TU Notebook PC originally with Windows XP edition. Recently I installed Windows 7 in my laptop from USB pen drive. Installation went fine, but it does not ask for C drive format. I installed in the C drive where Windows XP installed previously . After installation of my laptop working fine. Some times the screen goes blank (black) and come back after few minutes and in notification area it shows "Display driver Intel Graphics Accelerator Drivers for Windows 7 (R) stopped responding and has successfully recovered." like that I am getting a notification. In my system information, I checked it shows Windows 7 in OS. It happens only when I toggle to different windows or applications. I checked display adapters in device manager and it shows "Mobile Intel(R) 45 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)" . When I tried to update display adapter it showed already uptodate. Can I expect some solution for my problem here. Also after OS installed I found Windows.old folder in C drive. Can I removed that folder?
Thanks in advance.

Ideacentre B320 display problem
I'm suffering from a display problem, and cannot figure if it's a software or hardware issue... I'm on Win7 64bit. Here are the symptoms:
1) For a while now, intermittently the screen would go grey (or some sort of a messed up pattern of rgb pixels) and I would have to power down forcefully. The frequency of this has gone up very much in the recent weeks
2) When the machine freezes, I can still hear the music playing, and Windows continues to do whatever it was doing before
3) Recently (I'm guessing after a Windows update), I wasn't able to boot into normal mode anymore. It would show the Windows splash screen, then before the login screen appears it would just go black and freeze. Leaving it for a long time doesn't lead to recovery
4) To try and fix this, I've updated the ATI driver to the latest version, which didn't work so progressively tried every version between the11.6 and 10.3 (4?) which was the default when the machine was purchased. No luck there. I've also flashed the bios and that didn't help either
5) I can boot into safe mode, so I disabled amdkmdap using sysinternal's autoruns.exe, which meant that I can boot into normal mode, but it woud fall back onto Windows' vga driver (1400x1050 only!)
6) Now, even in the low res mode, almost daily the grey screen freezing would happen and I would have to reboot. Tapping the power button allows the shutdown dialog to come up (I'm guessing), and pressing enter would shut down the machine then.
There's an awful lot of posts on the internet regarding people having issues with ATI HD6450 and similar category cards, some of which sound similar to my case. They too experienced the freezing problem and reverting or upgrading the drivers had no effect (many even reinstalled windows completely). It sounds like though, the problem is software in origin at a guess.
On the other hand, the machine is now 3-4 years old and I could imagine that the GPU or graphics memory might have suffered wear and tear -- emailing Lenovo support took a week to get a response, the only thing they asked was whether my warranty is still active (after that it's been a complete silence) are they usually this terrible?
The last thing is, when the problem first occurred I booted using a linux live CD and it was all fine, at full resolution graphics. I haven't repeated this experiment since it takes quite a while to boot from a CD... but suggested that the hardware is intact. In fact, by messing about with the drivers I was able to boot into Windows normal mode and operate for 1-2 days, after which the grey freeze happened again. I haven't been able to get back into that since.
Here is my question: Is there a way to find out whether it's software or hardware that's at fault? If it turns out to be hardware, what are my options at replacements? The GPU is soldered onto the motherboard, so do I have to replace the whole thing? If it's a software issue, would restoring to factory default state fix this issue, given that an unknown update could cause the same issue at any time... This is the last time I will buy an AIO without removable everything.Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
Probably a good test of the hardware is use the Linux Live CD that you used earlier. If the graphics are still good when using the Live CD then your monitor and GPU are fine.
If the hardware checks out Ok then I suspect you have a driver problem. Try using a driver cleaner to fully uninstall the ATI driver since bit and pieces left over from previous driver installs can cause problems. The link below is for a free and highly recommended utility for cleaning the system of the graphic drivers. After the clean up I would try installing the original driver that came with your system.

Display problem, and maybe worse
On startup this morning my iMac (PowerPC) G5 display began behaving very strangely. The screen is displaying my usual desktop picture, dock and icons, and finder window. Applications are running, but very oddly.
The screen is covered in small visible dots, some flashing, some static. When I open a document, or a page in Safari, it displays more or less normally (I can use Word, for example), by then "smears" if I start to scroll down the page. At other times the graphics break up completely.
I'm guessing this is a display problem, but one other odd symptom is that sometimes if I click on a file in the Finder window, instead of opening the document the window shuts down and re-opens in its starting configuration.
I tried a restart, but it stuck on a black screen, and I had to force it to stop via holding the start button, and start again from there. I tried accessing system profiler, and it all froze up, requiring another button stop / start.
It looks like a hardware issue, but I've no idea what kind. Anybody recognise what is happening? (I'm posting this from my iBook).

My soundcard is missing and on Safari 7.0.5 video artefacts and flickering.

Weather widget missing graphics
For the past few weeks my weather widget has been displaying the "missing link" blue question mark at the top of the widget insetead of the normal graphic displaying hte current weather conditions.
The info is all there, and it's generally right, and the graphics for the week forcast are all there as well. It's just that one larger graphic that used to be at the top that's missing.
I would love to find a way to fix this that doesn't involve re-installing Tiger...Travis,
Glad to help.
Just a reminder for others who may read this thread. If you are having problems with any aspect of OS X, experiment with deleting the appropriate .plist. Plist corruption is common and .plist file deletion cures many problems. Too many users try the intricate solutions first and end up complicating the problem.

Hi,
Im having display problem with my iMac 24" Early 2008.
http://www.hockeystat.net/video.jpg
I cant boot, after 20 seconds the OS freeze.
I ran a full diagnostic with the Hardware Test...no error.
http://www.hockeystat.net/video_test.jpg
Any idea ?
Thank you
Luc1 - connect an external display; if the external display works ok then there may be a problem with your iMac's display panel or perhaps the inverter board. If the external display does not work then the problem may be with the graphics chip on the logic board.
2 - try booting from the OS X installation DVD? Will it boot that way?
3 - did you recently upgrade to Snow Leopard? If so, did this problem start immediately after upgrading? If you upgraded, did you do an erase & install; or an archive & install?
4 - do you have AppleCare coverage? -
Wierd lines on my display and frequent lock-ups w/ and w/o display problems
When booting I sometimes get weird lines and blocks on my display (the GRAY Apple screen) and then it hangs, other times the computer will boot and run fine for 20-30 minutes and then the display goes wonkers with blocks and lines and the computer does not respond. The only way I can get it to boot is to reset the PRAM by letting it CHIME 3x and then occasionally it will boot without issue and run, while other times I still get the blocks and lines on the display.
When I am able to get it to recover and re-boot after the lock-up and display problems and occasionally the box in the middle asking me to re-boot similar to a kernel panic the OPS gives me the option to REPORT the error and here is the error for others who would know more...
Thank you in advance,
Darren

Anyone know what is causing my problems? I thought it was heat so I downloaded a CPU and FAN temperature monitor and the CPU was getting VERY HOT at first so I then ramped-up the CPU FAN SPEED to maximum - it turns out the CPU FAN was not rotating well at low speed - since then I have cleaned and checked the fans and they all work as they should and blow on high(er) when the CPU temperature is above a certain level.S.U.
Is there a kb article or something that would illuminate what to look for in these logs, or is it a matter of learning by osmosis?
Both. I am not skilled in reading logs. It is a very technical and time consuming task for the uninitiated (me!) In scanning a log I look for the backtrace and loading dependencies. The first item in the backtrace is usually the roadblock.
Beyond that you can look at the Technical Note TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics

Weird event display problem in week view
Hi. I'm getting a weird display problem in week view. First time this has ever happened.
Some events appear to be missing, but when i double click on where I know the event is supposed to be, a new event is created (as excepted), and the missing events suddenly appear. When i move forward or back by a week, and then return to the week in question, the missing events are gone again. But, I can see the missing events in day view or month view.
Any ideas?Dean,
Next, try reinstalling the Mac OS X v10.6.2 Update (Combo).
If that is unsuccessful:
1. Use iCal>Export...>for each one of your individual calendars.
2. Delete all but one of your calendars.
3. Create a calendar and name it "Test."
4. Delete the calendar which remained after step #2.
5. Quit iCal.
6. Remove the iCal plist, and drag the iCal plist file to your Desktop.
7. Log out/in or restart.
8. Restart iCal and use iCal>File>Import...for each one of the calendars that you exported in step #1.
9. Delete the "Test" calendar, and any "Home/Work" calendar which was automatically created when you opened iCal in step #8.

Windows 7 64 bit on iMac display problems and instability
I received my iMac 27" quad core with 8 gig ram & 2 x 1 TB hard drives last Friday. I'm using Boot Camp to run windows 7 64 bit on maximum 2560 x 1440 screen resolution.
I get intermittent but often display problems in windows 7. I get areas of the screen covered in little yellow dots or blue squares (never red artefacts.) This will happen at random areas of the screen, inside an open window, around borders of windows and so on. Most often the screen will go black and come back with a message in the bottom right corner of the screen saying 'Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered' with the sub message saying 'display driver ATI radeon family stopped....etc'. Sometimes I lose the screen wallpaper. Once I've had the system just shut down, once I've had Photoshop seize up and I had to do a cold reboot. Could this be an overheating problem or resolution too high problem or driver problem? Windows 7 tells me my drivers are up to date. I tried installing the drivers for the card from ATI's website which made no difference
The reason I bought a Mac is because it's the only effective way to code for the Mac family of OS's in XCode. The reason I didn't just attach a miniMac to my PC monitor was because there's rather a lot of advertising by Apple about the fact that you can use a Mac with a PC OS via Apple's own Boot Camp. Now I have a lot of Windows software (some of which is not available for the Mac or requires buying again) sitting on an unstable system. Any ideas would be much appreciated...Sorry, that thread got moved for edit and as a user tip... which I didn't want and won't be doing....
Here is the post:
A tip and workaround for how to get ATI mobility/laptop drivers so that Windows no longer thinks the ATI is a desktop card:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11286987
Summary (my own edit steps):
1. Install Boot Camp 3.0 and upgrade to 3.1
2. Uninstall graphic drivers and run Driver Sweeper
http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/
instead of:
removing the crashing driver by going into windows 7 setup via its install cd and deleting the ati driver manaully
3. Install ATI Mobility (link)
4. Uninstall ATI (Programs control panel?) Device Manager (rollback; uninstall?)
5. Device Nanager: update driver and BROWSE BACK to 8.681 (the original apple driver that was causing freezes and purple artifacts) - navigate to /Apple/Drivers/ATI
(Apple uses) a 4850 card in the iMac, its modified a bit for apple. Enough that desktop drivers don't work, and modded-for-laptop desktop drivers don't work either.
Now the upshot of using modified drivers is that it FORCES the catalyst control panel to be installed, meaning you get a few more options to mess around with the card.
I couldn't use the original apple drive, it locks up, the newer one had banding, the newer radeon drivers direct form ATI wouldn't work until they were modded and then they cause black screens.
SO the solution, as obscure as it was, was to download ACTUAL mobility Radeon drivers - version 10.3 still, but made for laptops.
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
THESE drivers I was able to install - and here is where things changed.
THIS driver changed they way windows saw the video card in device manager.
As I mentioned before, its NOT a desktop card, its a modified laptop card, but installing mac drivers makes windows THINK its a full desktop card, and running the original 8.681 driver crashed it.
Once installed 10.3 LAPTOP driver it now appeared in device manager as a MOBILITY card.
+These Steps "should" work:+
delete ATI driver manually
reinstall apple driver after that and see if that works,
otherwise try the steps above
(mod drivers, remove via windows recovery off setup disk, install laptop drivers, reinstall apple driver over it) -
Display problem in macbook pro 13
I have been facing a display problem in my macbook pro (mid 2010, 13 inch) for more than six month. I talked to many persons from applecare and conformed to their advice. but the problem remains same. I went to apple authorised service provider at least 8 times. they changed my logic board, RAM etc. the problem remains same.
finally, I talked to applecare again. they adviced me to run fresh Lion installation and observe the machine without any thridd party software. I got the same problem.
when I call them, every person attending the call advices me new thing ! they are very polite and say: "if you have this problem again, please inform me." unfortunately, when I write them again about the same problem they do not care it !!!
I am very much frustated and psychologically tired with this issue.
Thanks a lot for your assistance.I can only do wild guesses at this popint, only thing I can think of on your end is possible AC power problems, but I've not been impressed with Apple's quality since the 68K or Beige days.
THe iMac7,1 I'm on now needed repair 3 times & still scares me with it's PSU temps. -
Another dual display problem - GeForce FX 5200
I've seen lots of questions about dual display problem, situation when trying to connect two non-apple vga displays to your graphic card.
I have GeForce FX 5200 graphic card, with 2 display output's. And two DELL 17" vga LCD displays.
I manage to connect 1 display regulary with dvi to vga converter, but for other display I tried several difrent converters ADC to DVI to VGA, and it just did NOT work.
G5 could see other display in display settings, in arrange option I coud see two identical displays, but I don't get anu picture (desktop) on other display???
Is it problem with output's on my graphic card (Gforce FX 5200), could it be soloved with some ADC to VGA converter?
P.S. Dr. Bott ADC VGA Extractor is not compatible with GeForce FX 5200????
G5 dual 2.1Ghz Mac OS X (10.3.4)I've seen lots of questions about dual display
problem, situation when trying to connect two

This won't work if the ADC to DVI adapter is not passing through the analog signals needed for VGA.

Yes.

It should work. On Dr. Botts web-site it says:
"VGA Extractor is compatible with any video card with an ADC port in a PowerMac G5" -
Adobe reader installation file is missing? (need an awser ASAP)
Hi i work for a computer store and a coustmer called with a problem about his adobe reader. He said when he tries to open Adobe Reader it would say that the installation file was missing. So i figured it would be an easy fix right? just reinstall it and it would be fixed. Well that is not the problem in this case, after he reinstalled it the same error would still pop up and i am not sure if it is a bad sector on the HDD or if it something wrong with the installation of the program or what the problem is and how i could help him fix it. So i would like some help with this, and i need an anwser ASAP.
