Conflict between using msn messenger in offline mode and full screen mode

I don't want to be visible in my msn messenger for the simple reason that I don't want to get chats all the time, but when I'm in off-line mode in msn messenger and I open a full screen application, immediately the messenger goes online. This happens with full screen games and while watching a youtube video in full screen. Why is this and how can I fix this?

Your profile indicates you are running Tiger.
Please update it or repost in Tiger forum.
Thanks.
Since msn messenger is not an Apple product, you might also check to see if there are any forums in the MS area.
This might be a good start

Using MSN Messenger on IM for Nokia 5800

Dear All,
Does anybody know how to use msn messenger on the IM application for the Nokia 5800?

Are there any differences between using Adobe Illustrator on a MAC and on a PC?

Hello,
I'm about go enroll in a class specialized for teaching Adobe Illustrator in order to be able to use the program at work. The company that I work at uses Macintosh computers to deal with clerical work and everything, so I would like to know if there are any differences between using Adobe Ilustrator on a MAC and on a PC. The school that offers training teaches two types of classes, where one uses Illustrator on a MAC, and the other one on a PC. The PC class is able to have an earlier start date, which is why I'm sort of leaning towards choosing that class as I need to be able to use the software as soon as possible, but if there are main differences between the interface that will affect my knowledge of using Illustrator on a MAC after I take the class with Windows systems, then I will most likely be waiting for the class teaching in MAC systems.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Oh and another suggestion- should I take the Illustrator class in CS6 or CS5?

Reading through the CS5 vs CS6 performance thread, the Mac version seems to have worse performance than Windows version. From a starter's perspective the differences would most likely never be realized. It will take some time to see differences between even CS5 and CS6 other than the visual aspect of course.
Definitely take the CS6 versionso you can say you have it. CS5 is my preferred version, CS6 is garbage with the bugs it has for the type of work I use it for.

When I am using safari I do not have a full screen

when I'm using safari I do not have a full screen, the top is blank

This is what "full screen" Safari looks like. If you swipe up on the web page, the tool bar disappears. Pull down on the page to get the toolbar to show again. You are not seeing this?

Use javaScript to make an existing window full screen?

hi,
I want to toggle a normal browser window between normal and
full screen by cliking a button on the page within the window. Is
it possible to take a browser window that was opened normally and
make it full screen?
thanks

We're working on a federator which will allow you to connect to an Oracle Text index as though it was another SES source. There are a few issues to sort out, but it should be available in a few weeks. It will likely have "sample code" status (meaning you get full source code to modify as you wish, but it will not be officially supported by Oracle Support).

Voice Chat using MSN Messenger behind NAT

Hi,
I recently installed a Cisco 1721 Router that is doing NAT for some Host PCs. These PC's are configured with private IP Addressing.
Problem is with MSN Messenger Voice. Since MSN Messenger uses SIP for establshing connection, and i think it embeds the IP Address information in Layer 5\6, so it is not working.
Can someone point me towards a configuration for Cisco IOS, that would be able to acheive this ? I.e. ability to use SIP , while using NAT (PAT or Static) ?
I am running 12.2(11)T.
Regrds \\ Naman

The default SIP port is 5060, however as SIP uses many different ports for communication allowing just 5060 will not work.
Cisco PIX Firewall versions 6.0 and 6.1 offer SIP support that solves NAT traversal issues by acting as an application-layer gateway (ALG).
Cisco PIX Firewalls dynamically open and close UDP ports for secure SIP traffic to flow through. Other vendors must open a large range of UDP ports, which creates a security risk

Conflict Between HP Universal Print Driver 6.0 and Office 2013

Has anyone else noticed a conflict between the HP UPD v. 6.0 and Office 2013? We are running a Citrix environment with Office 2013 installed on a couple of application servers. Almost all of our printers are HP's, and we were trying to use the latest UPD (6.0) on our print server. However any time users print out of Outlook (yes people still do that) it crashes out and needs to be restarted. Printing from other applications works just fine. As a test I have tried the UPD v 5.8 and it seems to work ok. Obviously I've found a solution I was just curious if anyone else has noticed this conflict.
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

You're probably getting the "Windows cannot locate a suitable printer driver" error if you're trying to add the driver while adding a printer that is shared over the network. You see, HP's Universal Printer Driver (UPD) doesn't contain the PnpIDs of every printers it supports, so when you specify HP's UPD as the drivers for the network printer, if Windows can't find a match for the printer's PnpID it spits out the driver isn't compatible.
The way to overcome this is to install a "generic" printer locally, using HP's UP driver, and change the port afterwards to point to the shared printer. So, first, add a local printer (that will be using the LPT1 port - make sure no printer is attached!), and click on "Have disk(s)" to browse to and select HP's UPD. Going through the remaining steps should install a locally-attached printer named something like "HP Universal Printing PCL 5" (or "[..] PCL 6"). You'll then go in the new printer's properties, on the "Ports" tab, and click on "Add Port...". If you're installing a shared printer, you'll select "Local Port", click on "New Port..." and specify the path to the printer (e.g. \\myserver\hplaserj) as the port name. Those steps should do the trick.
Last thing: beware, though, as HP's UPD PCL 6 might not be compatible (anymore) with your LaserJet 4050, as they use a PCL XL class number/revision (class 2.1; sort of a version number of the protocol) that is higher than what your printer's firmware might support for PCL6 (should be class 2.0) I know the latest versions of HP's UPD PCL 6 doesn't work with our LJ 4000 & 4050 printers, so you might have to use the PCL5e driver for those 64-bit workstations.

Two Second Skip Switching Between Windowed and Full Screen Modes During Playback YouTube videos

I am finding that every video I watch skips two seconds every time I switch back and forth from Full Screen mode. Happens mostly with 720p videos in YouTube.
Can be replicated by pausing the video (also possible during playback, pausing it was just to determine how long the skip is), switching to Full Screen and back, noticing the two second change on the timer.
Main operating environment is Opera browser on Windows 7 (x86), Flash ver. 11.1.102.55 and 12beta. I have also been able to replicate the problem on Internet Explorer ver. 9.0.8112.16421

I see about 30-80 MB memory usage increase while switching to fullscreen and it is falling back while switching back to normal mode.
I think the "freeing" of the memory is to agressive and produces such "lags."
@Adobe: This should be optimized with the next versions.
Update:
With the Plash Player plugin (Firefox Nightly/Opera Next) it is worse and with Active-X (IE9) it seems to be ok.

JDK 1.4.2 and full-screen mode

Hi all,
I'm messing around with a 2D-elite clone using Java 1.4 full-screen mode. After a few hours of work I am happily zapping asteroids and aliens at a zippy 140 FPS.
I then switch from JDK 1.4.0_01 to 1.4.2_01 in the hope of getting some extra speed. Without making any other changes to the code, things suddenly start crawling along at <30 FPS.
I am using BufferStrategy in combination with a VolatileImage to draw everything on. Did I miss any important changes in the newest release of the JDK or am I doing something fundamentally wrong?
Raf

Hi Abuse,
Thanks for answering. First of all, my speed calculations are a bit crufty. In my main thread, I do a System.currentTimeMillis() every 1000th call. I consider 10^6 / (this time in ms - last time in ms) to be the speed in FPS. It's probably wildly off, but the difference in speed between the two JDKs is noticeable even without the numbers.
Posting all of the code is going to be a bit difficult because there's quite a few classes in the project. However, I'll try to isolate the relevant code below.
At this point, I'm not entirely convinced that the drawing is the problem. I'm using a shoddy integrated video card which may be causing the issues, but even if I only draw the background starfield I see a significant drop in speed. I'll try to disable some code here and there in the hope of finding something more specific.
I'm playing some music in the background and there is rather a lot of collision-handling code going on, maybe that's the bottle-neck. When you bump into stuff, the trajectory of your ship and whatever you rammed is altered depending on weight, velocity and angle. It's a lot of fun to watch but still quite buggy at this point. (I've got a planet on-screen which acts rather like a beach-ball when I ram it).
Anyhow, here's the rendering code:
This class takes care of the initialization of the full-screen mode.

Chrome, Mountain Lion and Full Screen Interactive Mode

I'm running into an issue when entering Full Screen (Interactive) Mode-- long story short, the Message and "Allow" button are over-magnified and don't appear on the screen for me to click, thereby making it impossible to use other keystrokes (and see certain things in the interactive game window t'boot).
This issue does not exist in Snow Leapord on an older machine, though the same updated versions of Chrome (and assumedly Flash Player) are at work there.
Any suggestions on something I can tweak-- or even a work-around/hotkey for Allowing FSI Mode?
The actual game screen itself is fine, albeit slightly cut off around the edges.

Man, do you have Sophos antivirus? If that so, you need to uninstall it the right way:
For Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X version 7.x , go to Macintosh HD|Library|Sophos Anti-Virus.
Select 'Remove Sophos Anti-Virus.pkg'.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
NOTE, if you are running Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X version 4.x, the path in step 1 is Macintosh HD|Library|Application Support|Sophos Anti-Virus.
It seems that Sophos antivirus is crashing ML. They have an update but I'll wait some time becuase I've really had a painful time these days.

Can't use external monitor as default monitor for full-screen settings

Hey guys,
I have been trying to get quicktime to let me use my external monitor as the full-screen monitor. Every time I go into full-screen, it reverts back to my MBP screen.
I cannot seem to find this option even in the fullscreen preferences. Rather than having an option I can click on (like I've seen in pictures), it just says "Movie Size." I have Quicktime Pro 7.5.5 and I am running Leopard.
Any ideas? I can play most of my movies on VLC, but since I paid for Pro it would be nice if I can get it to work on my external monitor.

I have to say, I am in exactly the same place ppshr150 is. I have checked both Quicktime and Quicktime Player preferences and the option to choose a default screen for full-screen presentation of movies does not exist.
I can drag movies over to the second monitor and then press Command F and they will play there but from a presentation perspective, this is rather unprofessional.
It surprises me that Apple does not have this option. Or is it a bug they haven't/won't fix?

Having screen rendering / memory problems with Microsoft Outlook 2013 and full screen mode with large 2560x1440 dual monitors

MS Outlook 2013 seems to work fine for a while until a) enough time passes or b) I have multiple MS Outlook windows open. Then I start to see all sorts of graphical issues ranging from certain parts of the outlook window not rendering to certain functions
locking etc. Occassionally, when I decrease from full screen I get the screens to render correctly, making me think there's something unique with full screen mode that is causing the issue. There seems to me to be quite a bit of memory issues
with this version.
I have a beast of a graphics card, 32gb of RAM, and a fast SSD, so don't think its the machine.
Thoughts?

Hi,
Does this happen to other applications?
If it's specific to Outlook, consider to check the hardware acceleration option:
Go to FILE tab -> Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Disable hardware graphics acceleration, turn this option on or off to check the result.
If the issue persists, please also consider whether any 3rd-party add-ins are interfering with Outlook, we can start Outlook in Safe Mode:
Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
If there's no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which caused the problem.

Set screen resolution, and full screen view mode (F11)

Hi,
I have a jsp page which only looks right in 1280x1024. Can I write some kind of code to set the browser to always be 1280x1024 and the view mode to be full screen regardless of the client's setting?
I would like to thank all for responding to my previous questions/problems.

Hi,
after all, try <body onload="window.resizeTo(width,height);">. It works for me. You can also turn off navigation bars etc. See http://forums.devarticles.com/javascript-development-22/change-window-size-and-nav-bar-status-on-page-load-2091.html for example - or google "javascript resize window".
However, I don't know of a method to set the window to an F11-like fullscreen mode.
Regards,
Patrik

A Question about using MSN Messenger

Hi
I am quite new to Mac, so I have a noob question
When I tried to log in MSN, It asked me to download a newer version MSN.
when the download was finished, I have a Messenger.bin file
Can anyone tell me how to use that file to update my MSN please?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
To extract the contents of the .bin-file, you should download Stuffit Expander. Install Stuffit, run it and try to double-click the bin-file. Normally it'll extract its contents (in this case, probably an installer for Messenger).

What happens when there is a conflict between develop settings stored in file metadata, and the catalog?

Hello,
Wondering if someone could quickly help me with understanding how develop settings are read back into lightroom... (I'm using lightroom 3.6) as I've just had a bit of a panic that my mis-understanding of the system might have screwed things up a bit!
As I do all my image tinkering on a laptop with a small disk, I am often archiving directories of images to an old server we have, and then just bringing them back onto my laptop whenever I need them again. I have a single lightroom catalog on my laptop, and I thought (I now think wrongly!) that all my develop settings updates were stored solely in the lightroom catalog on my laptop, and as long as I kept a copy of the original jpeg images knocking around somewhere so that I could restore them to my laptop when needed, that I could always get back to the most recently edited version of my images. Often I copied a directory of images from the server to the laptop, edited them with lightroom, then deleted the jpg files from the laptop thinking the originals left on the server would be sufficient to restore my work later.
However recently just before deleting a batch of jpgs from the laptop, I did a quick compare with the server and was horrified to realise that the files where different, and that changes *are* written to the jpeg files! Looking in lightroom I have the 'Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG [etc] files' turned on.
My questions would be:
1 - Have I lost work by effectively deleting the metadata from the jpeg files or is it also preserved in the catalog?
2 - What would happen if some develop settings for an image were stored in the catalog, and a completely different set of develop settings were stored in the file - which would take priority?
3 - Have I screwed up and if so is there anything I can do to minimise the damage? : {
Many thanks for any advice!!
Nicola

1. Lightroom ALWAYS stores the edits in its catalog file.
2. Lightroom ALWAYS uses the edits in its catalog file. The information stored in the JPG is NEVER used to display the image in Lightroom.
3. As long as you don't eliminate the photo from the catalog, you are fine, your edits are present in the catalog file and Lightroom will use those to display the image.

If you have moved the photos to the server, using Lightroom (or using Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders), there's no need to bring them back to your laptop. You can leave the photos on the server, and access them on the server, and everything works properly
