Authorware Screwing up my  screen resolution settings

Was having problems with my macromedia flash and the website
said download this Authorware. Now everytime I click on my web
browser FireFox or on the downloaded authorware desktop install
icon it resizes my screen. I have gone back to the properties and
reset the screen size however it continues to resize it
everytime.I've tried to locate and remove this Authorware download,
but have had no luck finding it. Please help!!!

You were at this site:
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&p romoid=BIOX
...and it asked you to install Authorware? Flash does not
require the
Authorware plugin. Or are you confusing the Authorware Web
Player with the
Flash player? They are not the same thing.
First, check to see if the Authorware Web Player plugin is,
in fact,
installed. In Firefox, type "about
lugins" (without the quotes) in the
Address bar. Look for Authorware Web Player. If you find it,
close Firefox,
and go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins and delete
np32asw.dll.
Then go to C:\Documents and Settings\<your login
name>\Application
Data\Macromedia and delete the "Authorware Web Player"
directory. Then
restart Firefox and see what happens.
Your symptoms are so strange, I wonder if you didn't get to a
spoofed site
and have downloaded a virus or some other malware. If I were
you, I would
update my virus signature files and run a complete system
scan.

  • I need  a symbol to remain center screen on my web page no matter the screen resolution settings.

    Im trying to create an animation with functions inside a symbol. I need the symbol settings to remain seprate from the other settings of other items on the page such as "stage" and "background image" which are set to %  height.width,longitude,latitude . It is important that the symbol stays in the center of the screen. I also need this symbol to always remain in the center of the screen no matter screen resolution settings  that are likly range from 1360x768 to 1920x1080.

    Hi there,
    I solved the problem. but by solving the problem with centering the symbol on the stage I created another one, a very strange problem.
    Firstly the solving of centering problem:
    I left all settings of the symbol by px, (means no responsive layout), set 0 px o for position, and wrote a css which then centered the symbol on the stage,
    sym.$("products").css({
       margin : 'auto',
       position: 'relative'
    here how does it look in edge:
    The symbol products is behaving just as supposed. The problem I created and which I don#t understand at all: I created another symbol (news) made the very same adjustments, but the symbol is not positioned as supposed. (of course I change the name of symbol in css). What the heck???
    Anyone any idea why this is happening?

  • Screen Resolution settings on T61P

    Hi,
    Has anyone adjusted the screen resolutions settings on their T61P from 1680X1050 to 1440X900, or even lower? If so, does everything still look crip and clear at 1440X900?
    I have the need, as do others at work to be able to drop the resolution a bit for various reasons.
    Thanks in advance.
    Dave T. - Systems Architect

    Thank you for your tips..I run XP and it is not very clear if I lower the resolution to get a larger font   I also do not have very good eyesight so this is a pain....on my old Dell laptop I could use the CTRL + scroll the mouse to enlarge the screen....on my T61 (no mouse) I do not know how to do the same thing...any other tips?
    Thank you again...I am so Thinkpad illiterate!
    Could use a Thinkpad for Dummies handbook!

  • Does Frequently Toggling Between Screen Resolution Settings Harm PowerBook?

    Does Frequently Toggling Between Screen Resolution Settings Harm PowerBook?
    Since the 12" screen real estate is both limited and sometimes difficult to see (email, etc.), I often toggle (6-12 x a day) between screen resolution settings on a 12" G4 PowerBook (1.5GHz, 768MB RAM). Can anyone please confirm whether or not this harms the video, screen, motherboard, etc., in anyway?
    I'd hoped to avoid buying an 17" LCD monitor to address this concern, but would do so if this shortens the lifespan of the PowerBook in any way.
    Thanks in advance for any technical expertise on this topic.

    this will have zero impact on your computer (other than perhaps adding to the wear on your keyboard?)....
    doon't sweat it at all...

  • [SOLVED] Updating Xorg screwed up my screen-resolution.

    After doing pacman -Syu earlier this evening, my screen-resolution was screwed up. One of the packages that was updated by pacman -Syu was X to 1.7.1-1 and all of its depencies.
    I downgraded xorg (and its dependencies) to 1.6.3.901-1 and after that everything is working fine again.
    I'm trying to figure out why the update failed, but to be honest I don't know where to look for clues. The only thing I can come up with is that maybe it would be better to update X without X running.
    Before I try this solution I need some feedback on this. So if you could please give your comments/advise towards the following issues:
    1. Is it better to update X without X running?
    2. Where would I have to look for clues to find out why the update of X failed?
    Thxs.

    I have a similiar problem except that my X hang the whole computer. I have an Intel card and maybe thats the reason for the hang. To answer 1., I did my upgrade without X running, so that doesn't prevent bad things from happening. I downgraded to the previous version, as you did, and now everything is working again.
    With respect to 2., I looked into Xorg log and found nothing relevant to this problem.

  • Preventing screen resolution settings changing when connecting a beamer

    I do a lot of presentations and every time I connect a beamer (not my own, one that is in the hotel or conference room, so different models every time) my MBP screen settings go often haywire.
    My screen resolution on the MBP 15' (OS SL) is set at 1680x1050 (high resolution screen).
    As said it does not hold as soon as I connect a beamer and at times the setting is not even available any more, at other times all of a sudden I have dozens more settings, etc. This is of course, to say the least, annoying, and sometimes I spend 10 or more minutes to get my screen to behave in a workable fashion.
    Result is that my resolution on my screen become unworkable as (mostly) it defaults to real big resolution (and as such big script) that makes lots of items on the top bar 'invisible' (they fall of the screen).
    Is there any trick to prevent this from happening?
    Thanks.

    How is this remotely the same problem? The original poster is having resolution problems with projectors. You have an LCD tablet that isn't showing an image. This is thread hijacking, however much you don't want it to be. You need to go start your own topic for this.
    Excuse you, it's the same problem because my Cintiq has a problem taking in the screen resolution, which is why I'm not getting it to display properly. I explained it before, so if you can't read it, then that's your problem, and not mine. Even if you think it's a different problem, you don't have to be so rude to me. I'm not hijacking the thread, I'm just saying that I think it's a OS issue, and I don't see the point in making another one if I'm going to get a response along the lines of how there's already another thread that's similar.
    And now, I might add, you've officially completely derailed this conversation. Because instead of it being about the OP's problem, you've made it an attack on my character, which I consider an attempt to start drama. If you consider my post to be insignificant, then you could have just as easily ignored it. You've not only wasted my time for hoping someone would at least give me an answer, but you've wasted your own for hardly contributing to the conversation in a positive manner.
    Get off your high horse.

  • How to get screen resolution settings

    How do u get the present screen resolution from code?
    thanks

    The AWT Toolkit class has got a method called getScreenSize(), it returns an instance of Dimension.
    I'm not sure what to do when you have multiple screens though; maybe the methods of the classes GraphicsEnvironment and GraphicsDevice can be used.

  • What screen resolutions are available on His-res 15" MacBook Pro?

    Hi.  I can see in the apple web site specs what the various screen resolution settings are for the standard resultion, 1440x900,
    15" MacBook Pro (1440x900, 1280x800, 1152x720,  etc.)
    But what are the settings available for the 15" MacBook Pro with the hi-res (glossy to be specific) screen?
    I know the native resolution is 1680x1050.  Are the other settings as for the standard res also available?
    And while I have your attention, does anyone know what type of LCD panels are used on the standard and hi-res displays?
    TN, PVA, IPS ?

  • Screen resolution gone poor in Mac Mini

    I cannot get optimum resolution on my Mac Mini. Just a day before I disconnected all the cords, including power and HDMI, just to move my Mac Mini (OS X 10.9.4) to a different room, and connected it back as it was. (Really speaking only two cords) and now I can't seem to get my screen resolution back.
    The earlier screen resolution was there since I connected my Mac Mini for the first time to the LCD TV screen and I never had to deal with any resolution settings, but I am clueless now why I can't SET and SAVE optimum screen resolution settings. Here is screen capture for my System Preferences -> Display settings
    I also have DISPLAYMENU app which gets me to a better screen resolution now, but it seems I do not have any option to save that configuration so every time I restart my Mac Mini, the display will go back to its weird screen resolution state and I have to start from all over again to get it back in a good viewable screen resolution with the help of DISPLAYMENU. I have contacted Apple Support and have done resetting SMC and PRAM and entering in to SAFE-BOOT as well; nothing seems to help here. Any other suggestions? (I cannot accept that it is LCD TV problem because 1. Earlier it was working absolutely FINE. 2. I have my xbox connected to same LCD TV and I am getting screen resolution what I was getting earlier.)

    Backlight
    Direct LED
    Refresh Rate
    60Hz
    Resolution
    720p
    Dynamic Contrast Ratio
    100,000:1
    Display Aspect Ratio
    16:9
    Display Resolution
    1366x768
    Colors:
    16.7 million
    This is what I found on manufacturer's website for the TV model I have. I do not remember exactly what was the resolution earlier but it was definitely not 720 (in earlier image). All I know is I can observe the difference in the screen resolution.
    Also I have tried all sort of setting and resettings; (I was on chat with Apple support over an about 45 mins and on phone call around the same time.)
    Also, I cannot accept that I might be using wrong connectors/adapters/TV not compatible to the resolution I am trying to get to; because it was working absolutely fine just few days before and as mentioned I have connected my xbox to the same TV, which works absolutely fine.

  • Feature Request: provide screen resolution options?

    Firstly, thanks for the amazing browserlab, it's so useful.
    However, it would be great if we could preview sites in different screen sizes too.
    Is this feature likely to be added at any point?

    Hello,
    I'd like to see more screen resolution settings too
    Currently, 1024x768 is still a good percentage of visitors, but IMHO the sum of people with 1280+ is greater.
    It also seems to me that your virtual machines sometimes renders a little less than 1024...
    thank you for improving Browser Lab

  • Which is the right screen resolution?

    Hi,
    For which screen resolution, I should design my new application?,
    as all of us know, developer application screens are not flexible
    according to screen resolution settings. My good old application
    is designed for 600/400 and now people wants to use their PC with
    minimum of 800/600 resolution setting, in that mode, my
    application sits in left corner of the screen.
    Thanks,

    What I meant by "off" where the colors were not correct.
    If the colors are correct after you play the game then I think it's just a resolution and/or refresh rate problem.
    After the game, when the colors are correct, open your Displays system preferences and look at what it says the resolution is (click the Display tab in the Displays preferences if not already on that tab).  If a refresh rate is shown also note that.
    Now when the colors are "bad" (incorrect) again open the Displays system preferences.  Is the resolution the same as it was after the game?  If there is a refresh rate is it the same as it was after the game?  If yes, then there is some kind of problem and I don't believe an reinsitall is going to change anything (unless you wipe out all your existing preferences).  If the resolution (and refresh rate) are different than you had after the game then change them to what it was after the game to see if you get the correct colors.

    Hi,
    When you set your monitor to a screen resolution that it won't support, the screen will go black for a few seconds while the monitor reverts back to the original resolution.
    Regarding screen resolution, we may follow the below two articles to change it:
    Change your screen resolution
    Getting the best display on your monitor
    Follow the steps below:
    1. Open Screen Resolution by clicking the Start button, clicking
    Control Panel, and then, under Appearance and Personalization, clicking Adjust screen resolution.
    2.Click the drop-down list next to Resolution. Check for the resolution marked (recommended). This is your LCD monitor's native resolution—usually the highest resolution your monitor can support.
    And if the monitor is LCD monitor, The monitor's  manufacturer or reseller should also be able to tell you the native resolution for your LCD monitor.  Or we may check the monitor's manual to adjust.

  • Tiger update 2008-004 screwed up iMac G5 screen resolution/desktop

    I have an iMac G5. Installed the Tiger 2008-004 update (and Safari update). When the iMac boots up the screen resolution/desktop gets enlarged just as the spotlight icon appears. As I move the mouse around the screen the desktop moves with it. The desktop is about 5%-10% larger than the standard size. Tried display preferences with no effect. Zapped PRAM. Re-installed updates individually,nothing works.Help!

    You probably have 'Zoom' enabled in the Universal Access preferences. Have a play around in there to find the setting to turn it off (sorry for the vague directions but I'm on a Linux machine at the moment )
