Blank window when starting REminiscence

when I start reminiscence (an old dos/amiga) game, all I get is a blank (black) window...
reminisicence aur packet should download and extract all the necessary dos files (and it does) - but the game won't start. dos files are located in /usr/share/reminiscence, I even tried replacing them with another set of dos flashback files but I still get the same result...
i tried starting the game as root and as a regular user through konsole, and using alt+f2... even tried playing with permissions and ownership, but nothing helped..
hints?
maybe if someone would be kind enough to try this packet out and see what kind of a result he gets? or if someone already tried it, and could share his experience?
thank you

yes, I use KDE. tried it out without effects.. still everything is the same.
one more thing - while the reminiscence blank window is opened - one core of my cpu goes to 100%, so it's doing something..
as I read more on the internet, I suspect it might have something to do with reminiscence dependency - SDL which is: "Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. It is used by MPEG playback software, emulators, and many popular games"

Blank Window When Starting Collaboration Application Sharing.

Hi,
I have this problem at my portal (NW04 SP12) -
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/45/cc3541afe5db2be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm.
I followed the documentation and reached this point:
"If there is no session registration:
a. Set the Application Sharing Server trace file
(defaultTrace.trc) to severity info and try to start a new session.
b. Perform step Enable RTC ActiveX Control Client Logger.
c. Send both the Application Sharing Server defaultTrace.trc and
the activeX log file to support."
Where and how I perform steps "a" and "b"?
And where do I find that trc and log files?
Thank you,
Yuri

Hi Yuri,
as it follows from the document you cited: (but before that make sure that the screen resolution on machines involved is NOT higher than: 1024*768.)
b. Enable ActiveX client logging on the sharer/viewer machine:
1) in regedit
2) Go to the RTCs key, located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAPPortals\RTC
3) If the key does not exist, create it.
Add the following 3 string valued entries:
a) logdir = String represents an existing directory in which the log needs to be created (for example C:\temp).
b) loglevel = 3.
c) logsize = String represents the bytes size of the log file to be created (for example 10,000).
a. is not so important.
regards,
dimitry

Blank window when accessing PDF via IE URL

IE version 6.02 SP3
Adobe Reader 9.1.3 some machines on 9.1.2
Some folks are experiencing a blank window when they click on a PDF URL. Some of the URLs point to a virtual directory and some point directly to a file share. Some of the PDF files have a space in their name and some do not. There are no error messages appearing. Some folks have not seen this issue, others get it most of the time. Some times a refresh will work other times it won't.
Same results whether going through the proxy or to each web server directly. Fiddler shows a HTTP 401 which doesn't make sense since the files are open to everyone. Sometimes I get an IE error message saying it needs to close.
File size is not an issue. When I uncheck 'Display PDF in browser' the blank window issue goes away. But before I settle on that as the solution does anyone have any other suggestions.

I got this log from event log, anybody knows why?

Firefox opens multiple blank windows while starting

Whenever I start Firefox, it loads multiple blank windows. It happens everytime I load it, though once in a while, it loads correctly i.e. loads the tabs which were open when I had closed it. Other than that, only plain windows which I have to close manually and then restore the last set of tabs from History>>Recently Closed Windows options. I have already set the following options to true to make the restore closed tabs feature working [as was suggested here in the forums]:
browser.tabs.warnOnClose
browser.warnOnQuit
browser.warnOnRestart
browser.showQuitWarning
Any fix for it?

If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

How to avoid blank screen when starting?

When starting my mac book air, it only shows a blank screen, any suggestions to get back to normal?

Hi Daniel,
By blank do you mean that the screen is black? Is it gray? Is it blue? The word "blank" is vague when trying to determine and isolate startup issues.

JWS opens a Applet Running Window when starting the application

I have an applet that runs perfectly fine when starting it by double clicking the desktop icon of through the Internet Explorer. My problem is that when I start the applet it opens up another window with status bar displaying "Applet Running". Is there any way to stop displying this window.

It sounds like you are launching you applet from Java Web Start application by BasicService.showDocument("http://www.mycompany.com/myapplet.jnlp");
This would of course launch a browser , which would launch another instance of Java Web Start to run the second applet.
If you have all-permissions you could:
Runtime.exec("javaws http://www.mycompany.com/myapplet.jnlp");
to launch javaws directly.
would be nice if web start allowed this with something like BasicService.launchJNLPClient("http://www.mycompany.com/myapplet.jnlp");

Blank window when connecting to public wireless network

I'm having trouble connecting my Macbook Pro to the wireless network at my folks' nursing home. The MBP can see the private and public networks, but when I try to connect to the public network, a blank window pops up - no text or buttons. My nephew's Windows laptop connects with no problems. I'm running 10.7 (Lion). Any ideas?

A guess would be that your university uses a different encryption than your home wireless and that your driver has problems with that. If you search this bbs with your driver's name (and that encryption), you will also encounter a number of freeze problems when using newer kernels. However, those drivers and kernels move quick, so if you see an error in a post from 2 months ago, the error might have vanished already.
Second, you should find out the card you are using with
lspci -nn | grep Realtek

Blank window on starting Desktop Mananger

I've hapiliy been using Desktop Manager to sync contacts and calendar for years, but today I found that when I opened DM I only got a blank window. It all seems to be working in the background, as when I connect my bleackberry via USB a second window opens (also blank though).
I've searched the internet, and followed suggestions for clean uninstall/install, but despite doing this a number of times (5 I think!) it still comes back with the same problem.
I''ve run out of ideas now - any suggestions?

GMail in Safari w/FluidApp opens up blank window when clicking externally

I'm currently using FluidApp to create a stand-alone instance of GMail in Safari. This works great for quickly switching to GMail as I can just type G using Quicksilver and I'm there right away.
However, I'm noticing something annoying in that whenever I click a link in my email to an external website Safari opens up another window that I need to close in addition to wherever the website opened. So my path basically goes GMail > view external website > leave external website to return to GMail > close annoying blank window > Go back to GMail.
Any idea why this is happening?

You should check Preferences > General to see that you've enabled the "Open links from applications:" in a new tab in the current window. Then restart Safari and test to see if the problem is resolved.

Blank Message Window when starting Mail.app

Anyone experiencing this in Snow Leopard? Occasionally when I start up Mail.app there will be nothing in the message viewer, "Inbox" is selected still but no messages show and the top bar says Inbox where it usually says Inbox (No. of messages here).
I have to select another folder and then select "Inbox" again before anything shows. I did a clean install + import of mboxes and I already did a rebuild. Just getting a bit irritating.

same situation here. After installing SL on two other Macs the third one is having problems with the Mail app. It starts and is just showing the menubar; no window not even a blank one. After installing just the Mail app again from the DVD, Mail starts and I can get the main window from the menu (Fenster -> Hauptfenster) but I can only see the Mail folders in the left pane, *no message list*, *no preview content*
Even worse, I can't quit the Mail app using the menu. I have to do a *force quit* within the Finder.
I have searched this forum and tryed all the (good) suggestions without success.
What's next?

Error in event lod in Windows when starting Apache HTTP Server

Hi
I get the following error when I start Apache:
The Apache service named Apache.exe reported the following error:
[Thu Jan 24 15:38:04 2002] [error] (2)The system cannot find the file specified: RegQueryValueEx(key System\CurrentControlSet\Services\OracleWebCoreHTTPServer\Parameters) <<<before the error.log file could be opened.
More information may be available in the error.log file. .
There is no more info in the error.log and that key in the registry points to the http.conf file and it is the correct path, any ideas why I get this
cheers
Robert

I got the answer: the network path of My Documents contains '$' sign which is not allowed by Windows Installer.
Thank you all for reading this.

Blank Window Screen, Start-Up from Window- Can't go back to Mac OS

I just bought an i3 iMac desk top (with 1080 screen default setting) only 3 days ago.
I tried to install Window 7 which I believe was SUCCESSFUL.
However it ended quickly and the screen went blank which I did not know was end of the process and Window 7 does not read the display.
I did not get to load Bootcamp driver for Window as I used iso image for Windows 7 (from an academic arrangement and done the same by a teacher who recommends the process) and the installation did not allow me to do so before the Window screen showed up blank.
So I switched off and restarted the iMac and checked the bootcamp for Window software in Mac OS. As far as I could tell, they are all there.
So I went to System Preference and selected Start UP for Windows instead of Mac OS- without changing the display mode (for lower resolution) which is recommended by the instructions (forgot to try that).
I then cold booted the machine again- it told me that I had shut down Window incorrectly in the first place and asked me how to boot up Window and I clicked on the normal start for Window. Window logo did come up then blank screen after a small number of seconds.
I turned off the machine and started the machine again. Again, 'incorrect shut down of Window and thing'. The Window logo did come and then blank screen.
The machine now start up in Windows but the screen is blank.
Is there anyway I can get back to START UP from Mac OS?
Help this is horrible........ This is first time I tried to use Windows for personal use since 1985. This bad.... I wish Apple just do the installation of Windows for people that want to use Windows as well as Mac OS to eliminate this type of horror only related to Windows. I am only using Windows for the course I am doing and for a couple of software from the course. I am no tech person at all. That is why for 25 years I only have bought Mac for my personal use. We should all write to Apple and ask them to install Windows for those that want to have it on their iMac to save all of us the problems which seem a lot from this forum.
Please help with suggestions..... I am DESPERATE........

Hold down the option key during start up - you will be given the choice of which partition to use (Macintosh HD or Windows). I am having the same problem - Windows 7 seems to have installed but it goes to a blank black screen and there is nothing to do but force a reboot. I too have an i3 iMac... Windows 7 32-bit from original disc.

How do I change the default windows when starting indesign

The default when I start up Indesign is “only the applications bar is showing”. I would like to be able to change the default to having the Tools and Control showing as well as a few windows like pages, styles, swatches, hyperlinks – not ALL of the windows. I’ve tried setting this up when I first open up Indesign and no documents open. But it still changes back to the default whrn I reopen Indesign. Is there anyway to change this?

launch indesign--open and position the panels you want--then go to the workspace menu and save your workspace--then, when you launch Indesign it will appear like your saved workspace
