Vista full screen slowness

we, as a company, are trying to create some interactive
videos, using Flash CS3 and/or CS4. main end user (CEO) wants the
videos to run full screen, so they are being published as .exe
files. when running the videos on any computer using Vista O/S,
they run slowly when in full screen, but speed up nicely when out
of full screen. also, they run nicely in XP, full screen in and out
of full screen.
in google searches, i have seen references to vista running
flash in a low priority, so have attempted to make the exe run in a
high priority, that didn't help. my guess is that the exe is
running in a high priority, but the flash inside of it is not. my
thought is that the player started by the fscommand is what
actually needs to run with high priority, but we don't know how
to/if we can get that part of it to run high priority.
so first, does it seem likely that the problem is where i
think it is, and second, can the player wrapped in the exe, and
called by fscommand be run in an high priority? and if so, then
how?
also, saw suggestions to try running in winxp compatibility
by way of right click menu on the file in vista, that didn't help.
assuming that is also because only the external wrapper is being
run in xp compatibility.
also also, end user computers are running as high as 256MB
Radeon x1950Pro, 4GB RAM, Vista Business, 2.4GHz dual core
processor. results the same on higher end as lower end computers.
any ideas? am i way off base in my guess?
thanks

You many want to use wrapping it up in Jugglor and see it
speeds up.

Make green button full screen window icon on Yosemite maximize windows

Hello I just wanted to share this wonderful tool with every one. I love OSX but sometimes its a pain. I have a workstation Mac Pro, full screen slows me down so I used this tool to remap the green button to maximize like it sorta did in older OS or like our beloved windows OS. I have to admit, the got maximize right. LOL
First download - BetterTouchTool - http://www.bettertouchtool.net/
Move to app folder and open. Follow the fist pop up if you wish to use the snap window Feature. I have not tried it.
Select Global icon on the left
Click Triggers at the bottom left middle side of BetterTouchTool window
Select Left click green window button, 3rd one down
Click Predefined Action at the bottom right side of BetterTouchTool window
Find and select Window interaction > Zoom Window Below Cursor
Thats it your done !!
I would recommend you click settings at the top and set to start the app at start up.

Don't forget to Share your BetterTouchTool mods here with every one !!!!

Firefox. Safari glitches time to time. Besides I vary much dislike full screen on my Workstation. Slows me down. Expose' is pretty qiuck with middle mouse button( using a Logitech mouse )This is a great tool as I mentioned, it has many features. I consider myself a Mac engineer, I have the Cert for it. I know all the in and outs and tweaks you can do to this system to make you go from a user to a power user; to make you machine operate like a 2030 Computer. I know your being helpful, thanks.
I would like people to find this and make use of it if it helps them. It did for me.

"Full Screen Mode" in Adobe Reader XI for Windows 8 loads way too slow!

I recently got a new laptop with Windows 8, after having used Windows Vista for years. I installed Adobe Reader XI for my new computer. Before, I used Adobe Reader X on Vista. I used Adobe Reader "Full Screen Mode" to read the nice-looking Bible chapters I created with internet audio from Biblegateway.com. In Vista, the "Full Screen Mode" appeared quickly, before the audio fully started, so I could see the text in time for the reading.
However, with Windows 8, "Full Screen Mode" takes around 5-10 seconds to appear at all, and a black screen is present throughout the wait. It does the same thing when I hit "escape" to exit "Full Screen Mode" as well. I even uninstalled Adobe Reader XI from my new laptop, and tried using Adobe Reader X, even though it is not recommened by Adobe to do that on Windows 8, in order to test the speed of "Full Screen Mode" there. Adobe Reader X had the same problem! I do not know if this can be fixed, but I am pretty unhappy about it! I enjoyed the "Full Screen Mode" with my PDF chapters and the online bible audio! Finding that function for the first time with Adobe Reader X was a delight for me! It gave the reading a theater feel!
Has anyone else here had a similiar problem with "Full Screen Mode" loading way too slow on Windows 8? I am very disappointed! If this cannot be fixed by a user, is there a place to complain to Adobe and make a recommendation for software improvement? Thank you!

How come full screen exclusive mode is so slow?

Hi. I am currently working on customer facing point-of-sale application. This application has a lot of animation going on and so needs quite speedy graphics performance. When I first investigated this it looked like I could do it in pure Java 2D which would be a lot easier than resorting to DirectX or OpenGL and mixing languages.
Unfortunately as the app has moved closer to functional complete the graphics performance appears to have deteriorated to the point where it is unusable. So I have gone back to the beginning and written a test program to identify the problem .
The tests I have done indicate that full screen exclusive mode runs about ten times slower than windowed mode. Which is mind boggling. Normally - say in DirectX - you would expect a full screen exclusive version of a games/graphics app to run a little bit quicker than a windowed version since it doesn't have to mess around with clip regions and moving vram pointers.
My test program creates a 32 bit image and blits it to the screen a variable number of times in both windowed and full screen mode. Edited results look like this:
iter wndw fscrn performance
     10 16.0 298.0 1862% slower
     20 47.0 610.0 1297% slower
     30 94.0 923.0 981% slower
     40 141.0 1205.0 854% slower
     50 157.0 1486.0 946% slower
     60 204.0 1877.0 920% slower
     70 234.0 2127.0 908% slower
     80 266.0 2425.0 911% slower
     90 297.0 2722.0 916% slower
     100 344.0 3253.0 945% slower
The results are substantially the same with the openGL hint turned on (although I don't have that option on the release hardware). I am assuming that the images end up as managed since they are created through BufferedImage and the system is running under 1.5.
Is there a way to get the full screen version running as fast as the windowed version?
Here's the test prog:

}

Well I could do...
The problem is that I am compositing multiple layers of alpha transparent images. If I just render straight to the screen I get nasty flicker where I see glimpses of the background before the top layer(s) get rendered. So I would have to render to an offscreen buffer and then blit the assembled image into the screen. Even then there will be some tearing as you can never sync to the screen refresh in windowed mode.
And the thing is - there ought to be a 'proper' solution, g*dd*mm*t. Surely the core team didn't put together a solution that is ten times slower than it should be and then say 'What the heck, we'll release it anyway'.
I mean, if you can't believe in Sun engineering what can you believe in?

Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I love the features, but I'm disappointed with the performance. Any help coming from Apple? I've been sending them so many reports after crashes, that their file must be full!

Summoning max. courage, I did what you advised. Here is the result. What does this tell you? My Lion 7.2 (mid 2011 iMac) has several annoying glitches (which I have so far tolerated through gritted teeth) but none that have actually stopped me working.
BTW, I see several items involving CleanMyMac which I did not know I had. It is generally villified as a trouble-maker. Spotlight can't find an app. or a utility of that name. How can I get rid of what's there please? Just delete?

Will this help with windows vista u tube not playing in full screen?

I have windows vista and hadn't seemed able to get full screen to work with u tube. I tried going to google chrome and then to the u tube page. Click on the icon in the address bar that shows www.youtube.com ( It's on the left next to the address ). This shows you view site information. Run you cursor error over each permission on the right. You are allowed to change each permission to allowed by you. I allowed by clicking on each one all but the: locations, notifications, mouselock, and media. When you are done, you may click outside of this box to have it go away. The you tube page will ask you to reload to have permissions take effect. After I did this I also went to the box to customize and control google chrome wich is way up in the right corner either having three small lines or may be a gear box. I clicked on this and went to tools and then clicked on extensions. It will show you google docs, mcafee, or whatever you have. I went down and clicked on get more extensions. This should bring you to chrome web store. The search is up on the left. type in : window expander for youtube and hit the enter key. click on add to chrome next to the window expander appliction. I exited out and went back to you tube. My videos play in full screen. Hope this can help someone.

Video intro slow when full screen

The avi runs great even in authoring mode. Movie and avi is
1024x768. Also runs smooth when running movie.exe as long as it is
run from a window. When I make the movie go full-screen (using an
xtra), the avi has a lot of stops/starts (stutters) and is not
running at full fps. All other parts of my movie run fine at
full-screen. I can't figure out why it slows down to a crawl at
full-screen mode.
Anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks!

Your processor/video card doesn't have enough horsepower to
play the movie. Remember that you are running the digital video
player inside Director, and so Director takes some of the
computer's processing away from the dv player. You may be able to
solve the problem by lowering the data rate of the video, or by
changing the codec altogether. If this dv file really is an AVI
then you are far better off by changing to another, more modern,
file type.

Slow graphics performance - login screen, launchpad, full screen video all stutter

Since installing Mavericks, I've found that several system animations are slow/stutter. This is on a 2012 MacBook Air with maxed out hardware specs so its not b/c I'm running an old system.
Some examples:
- When booting up, right before I reach the login screen, the display quickly flashes blue. This leads me to believe something funky is going on with my graphics card/drivers
- The login animation, where you click your username and it floats to the middle of the screen so you can type in your password, is very jerky, taking 2+ seconds to complete. Previously it had been fast and smooth
- When using Launchpad, expanding folders often takes several seconds. The folder will start to expand, freeze, and then finally finish. This tends to be more of a problem for folders with 1 row of icons. Large folders oddly seem to expand ok / smoothly
- Watching full screen video in iTunes causes the audio to stutter (the video playback is still smooth). If I make the window smaller, audio and video playback are smooth again
Is anyone else experiencing these kinds of graphics issues? Any idea whats going on or how to fix?

Quit Chrome and see whether there's any change. If not, see below.
Step 1
When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, andIdle at the bottom of the window.
Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Full screen Flash video is extremely slow

I have a 2010 27" iMac with an ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics card. Full screen Flash video (e.g., Hulu) is extremely slow and choppy on it (4-5 frames per second). Full screen Quicktime or HTML5 video is fine. On my previous iMac (2008, 24", NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS), full screen Flash video is smooth as silk. I realize my current video card is low- to mid-range, but should that really matter? I'm not sure if this is a video card issue, or something else. Here's a list of other things I've tried:
Other web browsers
Uninstalled and reinstalled the current version Flash
Uninstalled and reinstalled an older version of Flash
Installed Shockwave
Disabled hardware acceleration
Reinstalled Mac OS X Snow Leopard
As much as Apple wants to distance itself from Flash, I would be really shocked if a modern iMac was incapable of doing what a 3-year old iMac could do effortlessly. Anyone else have any ideas, or do I just need to upgrade my video card?

in youtube one can choose various level of resolutions
like hd or sd and the hd's are in various levels of high resolutions
if performance is the issue the first place I would look would be the resolution of
the set stream

Slow processing in full screen mode

Hi All
I recently upgraded my camera to an EOS 5d mk 2. I take photos in full RAW, so resulting images are around 26 MB.I then import these as managed reference files into Aperture.
No issue with import to Aperture or image quality.
However, when viewing the photos in full screen mode (to rank / edit etc), they take a long time to properly open / load (about 20 seconds each.) Each time I re-open Aperture, each image needs to be re-loaded in full screen size - which can become very time consuming. Edits are equally very slow to process.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions how to manage this and avoid the time lag (other than downgrading to smaller image sizes). For example...
- I currently have 2GB of memory and a 128 mb graphics card. Do I need to upgrade to handle such large images?
- Can I reset a preference to avoid having to reload the full size image every time I open Aperture?
- How can I speed up editing speed (nothing too fancy done here - I note from other posts the "7 deadly edits" that can cause processing to slow up)
Any ideas gratefully received!!!
Many thanks
Paul

I don't understand whether you have a Referenced-Masters Library or a Managed-Masters Library. Drives slow as they fill and with a Managed-Masters Library sooner or later the internal drive will become overfilled. I recommend a Referenced-Masters Library with Masters on an external drive and the Aperture Library on the internal drive.
iMacs, laptops and Minis are by definition limiting to heavy Aperture usage, so work carefully to optimize setup and workflow.
First is to max the RAM and make sure the hard drive stays less than 70% full. Restart the iMac prior to a major Aperture session and only have Aperture open. You should also investigate to see if a substantially more powerful video card is available at reasonable price.
Set Preview size to be exactly screen size and build Previews manually when the box is otherwise not being aggressively used.

No Sound in Vista Bootcamp, Resolution stretched.. Ok in VMware full screen

I have vista home premium installed on my iMac. I am running 4gb of ram, when I'm running VMWare in full screen the resolution is fine and so is the sound But when I run vista with bootcamp, no sound and my res only goes up to 1400 by 1050 not enough for my 20 inch iMac.
I havnent been able to find any info on either of these problems.

Extremely slow navigation in full screen mode and other erratic behavior

Hi,
Is it me or every new release of PSE feels heavier and more bloated than the previous?
I have PSE9 running on a dual core, one year old dell PC with W7 with 4GB of RAM. I have the maximum amount of recommended memory alloted to the program (set in preferences).
Ever since I upgraded, moving forward (or backward) to the next pic (via pagedown, or up) through the filmstrip in fullscreen mode has become very, very sluggish. Sometimes it just will not move to the next image even when thi image is in the same directory as the previous one.
Is this sluggish navigation normal? Or is there something that I can do to improve performance??
I look at images in fullscreen mode to decide which ones to edit and which ones to delete so I use this feature a lot. Another example of sluggish-- or in this case erratic-- behavior happens when looking at an image in full screen and then I decide to edit the image. I load the image to the edito by clicking the editor icon on the left options pane. Even if the editor is already open, sometimes it brings the editor to the ferground with the image ready to be edited and sometimes it does not; I have to cycle with alt-tab to make the editor active. Why this erratic behavior? Then, after saving an image and selecting the close button, you are supposed to be returned to the organizer... well this happens sometimes, other times I have to manually swithc using alt-tab.
Please help, this is very annoying.

Folder display and full screen horribly slow?

I'm currently running on Windows 7, 64 bit.
I just upgraded from PSE 8 to 10 and had the first run automatically convert my catalog in the organizer. I've turned off all auto-analysis options. Other than being extremely annoyed that I no longer have the option to look at multiple folders at once in folder view -- which is something that almost makes me want to return the software, but it was a gift -- it takes over 30 seconds to switch to or start in folder view, and about the same amount of time to bring up the full screen preview.   Within folder view, switching from "3 stars and higher" back to "show all" takes 35 seconds, and even longer to restrict the view.
I know it's not my machine; limiting the view to 3 stars in thumbnail view takes less than a second, the same with selecting tags, show all, etc. It's very snappy.
In a previous version, Elements 6 I think, I had a strange problem where having the printer set to our regular printer caused an issue like this, and the solution was to set the default to CutePDF printer or something like that. I tried that though and it didn't help. (I'll reboot and try again just in case).
In PSE 8, it's slow...but not this slow. Plus, I can use it for my main view, since I can see many folders at a time. I won't be able to do that anymore so I have to be able to go back and forth easily.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?? Any thoughts on what could be causing it?
Thanks,
Lisa

Inexcusable ? You should perhaps rather wonder how it is possible to select a dozen of photos on multiple criteria within seconds. There is no magic there, only the combination of a powerful tool : a relational database, sqlite, and the recording of data from the exif or from your tags. A complex structure and many indexes make this wonder possible. If the data is outside the database and can change... the wonder is no longer there. You are right in your hope of better structure, better indexes, better use of the organizer of the data included in the database.
Remember I stated earlier that I don't know of a way to do this in my favourite thumbnail view. I think such a feature would be useful when I am using external drives to transfer catalogs and files via backup and restore. Knowing if all pictures are on given disk or if a part of them is in another one is useful and may lead to different restore strategies. With the folder view, it is akward : you have to create a keyword and to show all subfolders including images and apply the keyword to all. Believe me, it would be very easy to include a selection of the drive in the find menu, thumbnail view. That's why I cannot blame those who prefer the folder view, the thumbnail view and the find menu are neither satisfying for beginners nor for those accustomed to complex database queries including all operators such as XOR...
Perhaps inexcusable is a bit of a harsh word. But I wrote enterprise-level software for 10 years and I know there is a lot going on underneath the hood, and "we should be grateful for what does work" doesn't hold water for me. I still maintain that releasing software when one of the core features became significantly less functional, to the point where it makes that feature unusable, is a very poor choice as far as the existing user base is concerned. (But yes, I also know the pressures that are put on the engineers that are creating the product, and that they are often not the ones that make the decisions about release dates and other things).
My knowledge of SQL is limited to about 4 sentences, but I do know software. If you have a user task that can happen in less than a second in one view of 30,000 photos and is taking 35 seconds in another view with 30 photos (because no matter what is underneath, what is important is what the user sees, and they took away my ability to see all of them, so "we have to do all this work on the whole tree is a weak excuse at best), that is a major defect, not a design trade-off.
You wrote, " If the data is outside the database and can change..." but I still don't see how PSE is reacting to changing data underneath. I changed the data, and it doesn't react at all. Are you saying that every time I restrict the file view, it checks the entire tree for changes and then doesn't actually act upon them? Also, this doesn't make sense to me, because if I hide many of my files the performance improves significantly -- that tells me it's not about the file structure of things not in my database, but about those in my database. And if it is the icons that can change, well, the icons are worthless if the view isn't functional.
Just to be clear for whoever reads this later, I'm not concerned about a one-time cost per session of switching to folder view, though, it would be a lot cleaner if it gave me a progress bar instead of making my OS pop-up "Photoshop Organizer is not responding" boxes. I withdraw my comment about "view full screen" because I can see that there is a workaround, and that was in part user error (though partially also a design choice, since most of the effort of processing my files could be postponed until I was sitting and staring at the first 30, which is how most photo preview software handles it).
What I am most concerned about is the unusability of folder view for any sort of search or other operations (even stacking three photos in folder view takes *forever*). How can that not be a defect? Not only that, folder view is buggy -- several times it shows me the wrong photos for a folder (says the folder is A but the pictures are from folder X) and right now, it's telling me I have no zero star photos in any of my directories, when I know I do. Then when I clicked Show All, it's not showing any of my pictures at all.   ("Show all" doesn't seem to work at all in folder view at all).
If it were a one-time-per-session delay (to account for scanning the file system for changes), but then I could reasonably go back and forth between 2-stars and no-stars and all, stack my photos, rename them, move them from one folder to another, re-arrange all my folders, then that would even be good enough. Take the hit of switching to folder view, and then stay in it for a while. Learn not to go back and forth.   But it doesn't make sense to have a view from which the user cannot perform any tasks on their photos.
I think I will reclaim the word, "inexcusable" here, sorry     I'll find ways to work around it, though.
Regarding the feature of selecting all files on a drive...I thought you had said there was a way from folder view to select all the files on a particular drive (i.e, something that it can do that thumbnail view cannot). Did I misunderstand? If that is true, how does one do it?
I'll end with my previous statement, that I'm available for free beta testing if any of the product engineers would like to work on this issue . I really am a huge fan of the software, which is why I'm so passionate about this topic.

HT4623 Just installed io7, now I cannot get Netflix to be full screen. Also ipad start up etc seems a lot slower.

Just installed ios7 on ipad 3. Now cannot get netflix to be full screen. Also start up of ipad is suddenly slow.

I don't use netflix yet on mine but the slow startup I might be able to help. I just restarted mine and in maybe 5 seconds is restarted.
If you have a lot of programs running in the background that may be causing the slow start or shutdown. To close those running programs, 4 finger upto get to the running programs and to close them, tap one and hold for a second and flip upwards,, it will go off the top of the screen, closing it. Do this with all that you want closed, there will only be the main screen you can't close that will be left.
I also shut off location services, Bluetooth and under safari there a use data option which for some reason turned on but I could have clicked yes somewhere and those got turned on, but I turned them off since I don't need them on.
Then try a restart.

Adobe Reader slow when mouse wheel scrolling in Full Screen mode.

When I scroll a pdf in normal mode, its fine, but when I try to view in Full Screen mode, the scrolling is much more slower and it takes more rolls of the mouse wheel to get to the next page. Does anyone know how to improve the scrolling function of the Adobe Reader when viewing a document in full screen mode?

Good that you solved your problem. There will probably be other users that need to solve the same problem and your solution might help many others. The support here comes from users helping other users.
