Lines in dialog boxes only

I just upgraded to a mac pro with an ATI 2600 video card. I get two horizontal lines in dialog boxes.Never had this with my old G4. All other windows and desktops are fine. Anyone know how to fix this?

An update to my question. Problem remains when running in safe mode. So no ovious startup item conflict. Etc.
Problem disappears if I create a new user! So what is different between a new user and an old user running in safe mode?

All Office 2010 Applications Slow To Produce "OPEN" or "SAVE AS" Dialog Box ONLY When PC Connected To Network

Hello all,
Frustrating problem: ALL Office 2010 apps require a 45 second delay to produce an "open" or "save as" dialog box when the computer is connected to a LAN (wireless or wired, domain or workgroup). When the computer is NOT connected to a LAN (wireless or wired,
domain or workgroup), then Office 2010 "open" or "save as" dialog boxes open normally (and quickly).
I suspect a network search/survey function internal to MS Office is at fault.
This is NOT the infamous mapped network drive problem associated with Office 2007/2010. There are no mapped drives (nor have there ever been) on the PC, although there might exist a related solution. Additionally, there is no 45 second delay when opening
a file by double-clicking on the file itself which will launch the application.
Other information:
1. PC runs Windows 7 Pro 32 bit - PC is a relatively new Lenovo T400 laptop, all updates from Lenovo and MS installed, running clean and nicely otherwise, no spyware, no viruses, no previous software or hardware issues requiring assistance. Event log is
clean.
2. Absolutely fresh installation of Office 2010 Pro Plus (MS Action Pack)
3. Running Office apps in safe mode does not alter problem behavior (ie, "windword.exe /a" or use CTRL key and double-click to launch app)
4. Running Windows 7 in safe mode with networking and then subsequently testing Office apps is not possible: "license not able to validate" issue. This is a known problem and is not related to the slow dialog box response behavior.
5. A desktop PC with the same MS Office 2010 installation, same volume license key, on the same network does NOT produce this problem.
6. Full uninstall, reboot, and re-install of Office 2010 does not alleviate problem
7. Disabling ALL startup items and services (including, of course, ALL Lenovo management software) does not alleviate problem
8. SMB v2 bug is not the problem: ie, disabling mrxsmb20 service does not alleviate symptoms.
9. I have isolated "Client for Microsoft Networks", "QOS Packet Scheduler", "Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver" (and Responder), and "Printer and File Sharing for MS Networks" in the network adapter properties are NOT causing the issue.
10. Using Sysinternals Registry Monitor, I was able to determine that Office apps evaluate certain properties of your Internet Explorer settings before attempting to launch the "open" or "save as" dialog box. Altering the way intranets are detected, for
example, does not alleviate the symptoms.
11. Turning off Antivirus software (Avira Personal) does not alleviate the issue.
This issue is causing a huge loss of work efficiency. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Rick

Hello Rick,
Through all the research I have done so far and talking with a few other coworkers what the common issues that cause this are is:
1. Antivirus: disabling the antivirus is not good enough it needs to be totaly uninstalled and retested.
2. startup programs: these need to be disabled through either Safe mode with networking or the start menu or MSconfig.
3. Office addins: Disable all of them see if that helps. Then turn them back on one by one to see which addin is causing the issue.
To disable addins: 1. open up regedit and navigate to this key. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Addins and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins
Then change the LoadBehavior to 0 this will disable the addin. 3 lets it run. Since this affected only one user HKEY_LOCAL_USER might be your best bet but don't rule out the other location.
To verify there are no addins running go to the File tab>options>Add-Ins make sure nothing is listed under Active Application Add-ins.
I hope this helps
Thanks,

New script dialog box only displays momentarily

FM10 in TCS3 on Windows XP
My coworker and I decided to investigate Extendscript and when we select File>Scripting>New from the main toolbar, the New Script dialog box flashes momentarily and then disappears. However, selecting Run displays the Choose Script dialog box, and selecting Catalog displays the Script Library.
We have the latest patches and have installed DITA-FMx, FrameSLT, and SDLAuthorAssistant in FM. Could any of those be affecting the scripting function?
Thanks in advance.

Using TechCommSuite 3.0 on Windows XP.
I always like to close loops and this posting is no exception.
After almost two weeks of diligent sleuthing by Adobe techs and our own security personnel, we determined that the problem of ExtendScript not launching was an in-house problem.
We have a DLP application that interfaces with our desktops for security purposes. We needed to identify the ExtendScript.exe that was running in order to allow it to function. Our security guy performed some wizardry and voila! I had my ExtendScript window.

Is there a way to paste an URL into the file selection dialog box?

Hi,
I would like to share on Friendfeed.com images that I find on websites. On Windows, I click on "Add - photos" and I can paste the URL of the image directly into the dialogue box.
On my Mac 10.6.6, I can't find a way to do that: the dialog box only allows me to click on a file's name, I can't paste anything. So I have to save the image on my disk, and then upload it on Friendfeed.
It's not a big deal, but still more cumbersome.
Is there a way for me to avoid saving the image on my hard drive?
thanks for any help that will come this way

Thomas, you really need to relax I just asked a simple technical question: is X technically possible?
There were only two meaningful answers to that: yes and no.
But, no, you and others started to imply there were some dark issues of image copyright infringement, which - if I was not very relaxed myself - would be offending. You don't know what images I'm talking about, so why in the world did you start by assuming that I was infringing copyright?
(read again my previous answers to you, and you'll see I was not condoning infringement. I was simply saying it was not an issue here). Are you going around the web entering any discussion about how guns work, warning that killing people is a crime? What about knifes? Car forums and speed limits? (I could go on, as you can imagine).
But, since we're talking about copyright, you may want to lower your expectations about how "easily" you could sue me. The world - and its legal systems - is quite a different thing from the USA, you know.
Finally, about Friendfeed. Read again what I wrote (leaving aside all the copyright concerns that are distracting you ) and you'll see I mentioned that of course there's a "normal" way to enter the Url. It's just two different actions, with two different results. One of these actions is apparently not possible with a Mac. Too bad. As for Friendfeed being a crappy website: I see you're a web developer. I wish you to be as successful a developer as the people who created Friendfeed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Taylor). Some of its functionalities were years ahead of the competition, which is why they have been acquired by Facebook, and today - after more than a year with no development whatsoever - they still make for a very good social network. Go and have a look at it, you may learn a thing or two.
(I wrote finally, but I was wrong). One more thing: I couldn't resist, and I took a look at your webpage and resumé. I'm not going to write here what you did from "August 1997 to August 2007" (although it's public, so it shouldn't be a problem). But let me express my full appreciation for that! (I'm serious).
cheers!

How to leave the current dialog box screen?

Hi Experts,
Now I met a problem when I use statement LEAVE SCREEN for closing current dialog box screen. The scenario is like this:
There is a screen '0010' under function group A, on this screen, there are 4 tabs, i created a custom control element on tab 4. with this custom control I embeded a subscreen 0910 which is defined under function group B not A, in the PAI of subscreen 0910, i called another dialog box screen 0920 which is defined under function group B also. statement CALL SCREEN '0920' is used for this and it works fine.
                But now when i click on the X (cancel) button on the dialog box, it is not closed but still there. So i use statement 'LEAVE SCREEN TO 0910' for closing the dialog box, but finally, not only the dialog box screen is closed but the screens '0910', '0010' are also closed.
I think the problem is because that screen '0010' and '0910' , '0920' are not under same function group, but I don't know the solution for closing the dialog box only.
Lynn Liu

HI,
Debug the program after you press the CANCEL button , you will get where the conrol is flowing , And instead of using
Leave to screen '910'          use               Leave to screen 0.

Resolution in dialog box is too large in Acrobat XI

I recently did an update to Adobe, however now, anything that uses Adobe is now in SUPER LARGE resolution. My computer and all other programs have correct resolution, and even the File, Edit, View.... toolbar across the top are the correct size. But everything else is really large. The dialog boxes cannot be resized and have no scroll bars, so the options for all of them are not viewable or clickable. I'm currently running Windows 8.1 which is updated, and there are no outstanding updates to Adobe Acrobat. I also did the repair option with no change. Changing the screen resolution or option to use smaller fonts has no effect on the Adobe dialog box, only makes everything on my computer miniscule (Windows 8.1). The issue is isolated to only Adobe. Can you tell me how to reduce the resolution on Adobe so it is normal? Screenshots of the issue are below:

I have exactly the same issue. Adobe support could not answer my question.
Even the free Adobe reader is the same so I suspect it is the Windows 8.1 Operating System at the bottom of this, but Adobe needs to resolve this. If I open the settings window using teh cog icon, I cannot use my mouse to scroll to the bottom and get to the options or buttons down there either.
Right now this is almost useless to me.

Dialog box pblm in for loop

pl check this code sample at once..
for(int i = 0 ;i< sDoc.sAwData.smVec_List.size() ; i++)
     st.execute(sqlQuery);
     System.out.println("Tables Created ");
     JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (this,"Tables Created","Tables Title",JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
i am executing the sqlQuery in for loop
as i am keeping the st.execute(sqlQuery) in for loop usually it will iterates that many no of times according to "i";
i also have to display the Dialog box using JOptionPane at one time only.
when the sqlQuery is successfully executed.
as i kept that dialog in for loop it is displaying morethan one time according to "i";
is there anyway to display that dialog at single time ??
pl give me some suggestions and if possible along with some sample code using for loop
thanks in advance

If you want to display the dialog box only once, put
it outside the loop!!Thankyou
but the pblm is when i keep that dialog box in outside the for loop, that will display even the sql query fails to execute the statement.
i want to display that dialog if the sql query executing
successfully.
thanksinadvance
yours

Installation Dialog Box Diseappear

Dear All,
I have to join my company e-learning which using Java. Since from the verification, it's found out that my computer does not have Java, I installed it by following the normal step. First, I download the installer from internet and then run it to start the installation. The problem comes at this point: after I double clicked the installer, the installation dialog box only appeared for a second before it dissappear and nothing happend!! Seems like my machine is barring the software.
I tried to install two version: jre-1_5_0_11-windows-i586-p-s and jre-6u6-windows-i586-p-s. Both are fail!
I also tried to uninstall any other program (plugin) which is suspected to cause the problem. Still, nothing.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem out, please??
Regards,
Lusi

lusi,
Are you sure that you have downloaded the correct version of java for your operating system and machine architecture?
I presume you're running Bills Revenge (ms windows) because nobody could possibly be THAT stoopid. But there's 32 bit and 64 bit versions. Which are you running. (Right click on My Computer ~ Properties).
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp tells me that jre-6u6-windows-i586-p-s (J2SE 6.6 for Windows XP/Vista/2000/2003 Offline) is 15.18MB ... is your downloaded file 15.18MB... I just guess maybe your connection drops out before it downloads the full install... cheaper ISP's commonly do that (and ludicriously expensive ones every time there's a new tech they want to move everyone onto).
Cheers. Keith.

When online via WiFi, Firefox repetedly attempts to connect via dialup, with error dialog box returning every 15 sec. or so.

At home, I use dial-up. When I'm visiting, or at certain stores, I use a Wi-Fi connection. When I'm on Wi-Fi, Firefox does not fully recognise it. It will, eventually, use the Wi-Fi connection, load pages, etc. But it keeps trying to dial in, even while connected via Wi-Fi! Closing the dialog boxes only works for a few seconds, then it tries again, and again, and again, and again... Arrgh!
N.B. Could this be Weatherfox connecting to update weather info using its own connection, rather than piggybacking on whatever Firefox is doing?

You can try to swap the order of the connections and place the Wi-Fi connection at the top to see how that works.

In javascript how to invoke save as dialog box ,which saves .pdf files only

Through javascript i generated a save as dialog box. the main problem is , it is only saving .html and .doc files by default. how to restrict it to save only .pdf files.
the code i used is
function SaveFile(fname)
document.execCommand('SaveAs', null, fname)
<input type="button" value ="save" onclick="SaveFile('');">
/**********************************************************************/

this is actually a Java forum its slightly different from javascript
but try this not sure if it helps
<input type="button" value ="save" onclick="SaveFile('.pdf');">

MS Word: This file is read-only. To save a copy, click OK, and give the document a new name in the save dialog box.

This is not a question. I believe I've found a new issue and the fix for it.
The situation:
A brand new iMac 27" running Yosemite 10.10.1
MacMini server running 10.8.5 server.
The issue:
Client on iMac trying to work on MS Word documents stored on server was requiring him to save the documents to his desktop and then copy them back to the folder on the server. The exact error message was, "This file is read-only. To save a copy, click OK, and give the document a new name in the save dialog box."
The issue is unique to this computer in an office of 10 client computers and three servers.
Attempted fixes:
Verified that the ".Temporaryitems" folder existed and the permissions were set properly.
Repaired permissions on the client and the network share.
Definitive fix:
By default, Yosemite 10.10.1 uses SMB for connecting file shares. When I overrode the default and switched to AFP protocol, the issue went away.
I hope this helps someone else.

That was it. What an operating system. It is very helpful to view files you are looking for. But if you have preview on you cannot save files.

I keep getting dialog box saying " The itunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" I am the only user on this computer and only one library! how do i change access privileges please?

hi I keep getting the dialog box " The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
How do i amend this as i only have one account and one library. I cannot save new work or delete duplicate files

A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them!

I get a dialog box with a copy of firefox is open and only one copy of firefox can be open at one time.

I get a dialog box with the following: "a copy of firefox is open and only one copy of firefox can be opened at one time."
I do not see where firefox is open.
How do get back into firefox so that i can read the links that are in my emails?
Thank you.

Sometimes when FF is closing, not all of it shuts down properly.
On Windows, start the '''Task Manager''' (Other systems may have
different names and / or commands). Select '''Processes'''.
Look down the list for Firefox. Right click and select '''End Task'''.
If this problem keeps coming up, ask for more help.

How do I place only the Photoshop Elements dialog box on my dock?

I am using Photoshop Elemetns 9 on an imac running the Lion operating system. I want to have only the welcome diaolg box on my dock so I have the option of opening the editor, or the organizer, or having access to my photos stored with Adobe. At the present time my dock has a single PSE icon. When I click on this icon the Welcome dialog box is
bypassed and the editor is opened. I am using iphoto to organize my 5000+ pictures and Photoshop Elements 9 for more advanced editing. But I will probably be moving all my photos to the Photoshop Elements Organizer as soon as I organize the photos in iphoto Events. This is because there are too many steps required to move edited photos back from
Photoshop Elements 9 to iphoto. Now I have to move these photos onto my desktop before I can get them back into iphoto. Can anyone help me with these two BIG PROBLEMS? A direct response to my e-mail would be much appreciated. Thank you.

March 16, 2012

Click the little house at the end of the menu bar in either editor or organizer to bring up the welcome screen and then click hold the welcome screen's dock icon and choose Keep in Dock.
However, it sounds like you aren't using PSE and iphoto in the most efficient way. See this for more about your options:
