Dialog box display issues

Thanks for taking the time to help me with this.
I've been having issues for a few weeks, first with Acrobat Pro X, and now with Acrobat Pro XI. I can open a pdf fine, but when I try to print, or view the properties, or show the tools on the right side of the screen. There is no text. The print window shows a window with some button outlines, but no text. Same with the other windows and tools. The "open" command does show the window as it should appear.
Occasionally, the print window is all blown out of proportion. I will see two or three words across the entire screen and the window itself goes off the right for several screen widths.
This is only happing with Acrobat, but the labels on the buttons in other programs do look a little funny.
I've tried re-installing Acrobat; upgrading Acrobat; Scanning and fixing registry errors; scanning for viruses and malware. None of it made any difference. I did also get an error message that said "Acrobat failed to send a DDE command" Haven't been able to find a solution for that to see if it helps.
I'm using a Dell, running Windows 7 Pro; Creative Cloud apps; and Acrobat Pro XI
Here is an image of the screen to better show what I'm looking at.
Thanks very much to anyone who can shed some light on the issue.

This type of thing can happen when a font is missing from your system. For example, see this previous thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4063094

Spoof dialog Boxes security issue

Hi all
Any one out there aware of this security issue with Safari
"Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in various browser's, which can be exploited by malicious web sites to spoof dialog boxes.
The problem is that JavaScript dialog boxes do not display or include their origin, which allows a new window to open e.g. a prompt dialog box, which appears to be from a trusted site."
I found the above by accident as i was looking up something else.
If you go to Secunia site and try the test you may find that you are also vulnerable.
http://secunia.com/multiple_browser'sdialog_origin_vulnerabilitytest/
The only way i found to stop the spoof dialog box was to turn off enable plug-ins in preferences. However i don't have any plug-ins in my Safari plug-in folder.
I'am running safari 1.3(v312) however it would appear that it also effects version 2.2 of Safari too. Also i have installed the latest update but to no effect. Other browser effect are:-
_ Internet Explorer for Mac
- Internet Explorer
- Opera
- iCab
- Mozilla / FireFox / Camino
My question is, is this vulnerability true, or just a setup
Any comments welcome.

Hi,
The issue is resolved, but I don't know what caused this error.
I uninstalled the java components and BO then I deleted the BO folder under program files, then I deleted all BO entries in the registry.
Finally I reinstalled everything except the service pack and that finally worked. I don't know the cause of this error.

Dialog box display won't update after screen blank or being moved

I have a modeless dialog box used for status display by a plugin I wrote for Acrobat. Everything works fine until the screen blanks or the user moves the dialog box on the screen, at which point no further updates to the dialog box are displayed. My plugin consumes 100% of CPU for long periods of time so the program can appear dead without this display being updated, but nothing I have tried seems to make any difference. The dialog box is generated with ADM and things I have tried include calling "Update" on the dialog box at regular intervals, the windows "Sleep" function to yield the CPU periodically, and a host of similar tactics.
I'm guessing all the code will get run together once I click submit, but here is how I create the diaglog box (it was working fine without the "WinAppRegisterModelessDialog", but I saw a reference to it elsewhere and tried it to see if it would help, not sure if it actually serves any useful purpose):
statWin = sADMDialog->Create(inPluginRef, DIALOG_ID, IDB_DIALOG1, kADMModalDialogStyle, NULL, NULL, 0);
WinAppRegisterModelessDialog((HWND)sADMDialog->GetWindowRef(statWin));
infoBox = sADMDialog->CreateItem(statWin, 5, kADMTextStaticType, &coords, NULL, NULL, 0);
// Status header
coords.top = coords.bottom + 10;
coords.bottom = coords.top + 12;
statHeader = sADMDialog->CreateItem(statWin, kADMUniqueItemID, kADMTextStaticType, &coords, NULL, NULL, 0);
// Status line
coords.top = coords.bottom + 10;
coords.bottom = coords.top + 12;
statLine = sADMDialog->CreateItem(statWin, kADMUniqueItemID, kADMTextStaticType, &coords, NULL, NULL, 0);
// Progress bar
coords.top = coords.bottom + 10;
coords.bottom = coords.top + 15;
progress = sADMDialog->CreateItem(statWin, kADMUniqueItemID, kADMProgressBarType, &coords, NULL, NULL, 0);
sADMItem->SetMinIntValue(progress, 0);
sADMItem->SetMaxIntValue(progress, totalPages);
// Set window size, and other attributes
sADMDialog->Size(statWin, coords.right + BORDER, coords.bottom + BORDER);
sADMDialog->SetText(statWin, PROD_NAME " - Progress");
// Set header for status line
sADMItem->SetText(statHeader, " Page # % Complete Estimated Time remaining");
// Initialize progress bar
sADMItem->Update(progress);
Updates are currently performed with the following code segment. The last two lines are my attempts to get the display to update once the screen blanks:
// show it
sADMItem->SetText(statLine, textBuf);
// Update progress bar
sADMItem->SetIntValue(progress, pagesCompleted);
// Force display update/refresh
sADMDialog->Update(statWin);
// Yield for display update (in case of screen blank or user changes)
Sleep((DWORD)100);
Everything works fine until the window is moved or screen blanking occurs, after that nothing seems to work, all updates to the box cease to be displayed. Any suggestions?

OK guys here's an update. First I went to BIOS and updated the initial display setting to "LCD panel only" from "Auto". At first I thought it helped, because when I worked at the laptop without the external screen attached, the internal LCD panel resumed normally from off (previously this didn't work).
But today while I was in the office with my external 19" LCD screen attached, and both of them went off after being idle for 10 minutes, the internal LCD panel didn't resume again. So I've tried the Fn + F5 key combination to switch between modes, and I switched from dualview back to single. The internal LCD panel blinked for a second and then turned off immediately, and from that moment on, I was without picture on both of them. SO I ended up hibernating and resuming again. :( An important note - as soon as the computer began hibernating, the LCD went on and I could see the whole progress of hibernation before it turned off.
Also another note - when I'm in dualview, I always have keep the internal LCD panel as the primary screen. So unfortunately, when it doesn't resume, I don't have access to the taskbar etc to try more things...
Any more thoughts?
Thanks again!

Import dialog box displaying off screen

When I'm in the office, I work in a dual-monitor environment.
However, when working at home, I have only my laptop monitor.
If I need to import something - html file, template file,
etc. - the dialog box is displaying off screen.
I've shut down and restarted, but still the same result. When
I try to resize the RH window, it resizes off screen.
My display properties indicate only one monitor.
How to fix?
Thanks!
Cindy

Hi Cindy
Sounds like you need some multiple monitor managing software.
Try these:
MultiMon (Free)
click here
UltraMon (Paid)
click here
Other than that, you can try flying blind and navigating
using the keyboard or maybe bump your resolution to the highest
possible setting and perhaps that will bring the dialog either
partially or totally into view.
Cheers... Rick

R&R 4.10 no Password dialog box displayed when recovering a Backup

Hello all,
I am using a T61 8898-6dg with XP and r&r 4.10.314
After reinstalling the system from a XP CD I tried to reinstall an R&R backup from a network share.
R&r starts well showed me the backup files and all the files included in the backup. So I was able to select the files I want to recover and the recovery process starts.
Because the backup is secured by a password, a dialog box should appear and asking for the password. But now, r&r stops and nothing happens. I think it is waiting for the password. But I cannot see an dialog box for entering a password. Even pressing the Alt and Tab keys to bring the dialog box to the foreground don’t help.
In the rr.log file, I found the following entry:
Sat May 10 12:27:36 2008 RescueRecovery: Running: C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\mnd\mapdrv.exe *
Sat May 10 12:27:42 2008 RescueRecovery: No user found to display dialog '2', waiting...
The same problem I have with r&r 4.20
Any hint what I can do to be able to enter the password?
many thanks in advance
Juergen
Stuttgart/Germany

when the magic mouse is not connected it seems to work fine, I usually click the trackpad and the system prompts me for a password - I enter my password and go back to work.
However every time the problem has occurred I have left the computer with the magic mouse connected, when I return I move the magic mouse, the screensaver stops "moving" but I don't see the prompt for my password, it's almost as if the password dialog is behind the screen saver.
Hope this helps...

Labview pauses when dialog box displayed

When I display a dialog box in LabView, the program waits for the user to click ok. I would like for the program to not wait but keep running after it displays the box. How can I do this and how can I customize the dialog box?

You drop an Invoke Node from the Application palette onto the block diagram, wire up a reference to the subVI, right click the invoke node and select the method. There's an example here that shows how an invoke node is used to make a front panel visible. There are other examples on the developer zone and several have been posted to this forum. You question seems to pop up once week or so and a little searching of the forum will give you a lot of examples.

Dialog box background issue

Hi!
I'm having this strange beauty problem on MacOsX 10.5.2. On some windows/dialog boxes there is a color difference between the background of the box and the background of the text and buttons.
The computer is brand new, has some additional software installed and I really don't know what should I do. I'm also posting some print screens to explain the issue.

I'm having a similar issue. This happened when I switched to a 2.2 gamma from the default 1.8. Any ideas on how to fix this? I prefer working with a 2.2 gamma, and switching back to 1.8 for such a small cosmetic problem doesn't seem like a good solution...

Firefox download dialog box - display program list in combobox

Ever since the re installation of my OS, whenever I wanted to open a file I always had the option to choose witch program to use from a combobox in the download file dialog box (which was OK, since I use multiple programs for the same file type). But after using Firefox for a month or so it suddenly changed and now instead of the combobox i have the "browse" button. How can I set Firefox to use the combobox again?

Select one of them, or do a search for the program you want. Then
select it. Then say what you get. Note that later, you should be able to
select another program thru the '''Browse''' button if you want to
change what you are using. Also, '''Do Not''' use the
'''Do This Automatically''' option. That will lock in the setting.
While it can be unset, it is hard to do.

Reader X - Save dialog box popup issue

Hello,
I found that in Adobe Reader X whenever you goto save a file using just the "Save" (ctrl+S) option it brings up the Windows file system box prompt, which allows the user to see other windows files, folders, etc.. This is a huge issue for us as we do not want our users to be able to save to different locations or change the current filename on accident.
How can I prevent this Save dialog from showing? It is the dialog I would expect to get from choosing a "save as" option, not just your standard "save" option. Also, we are opening PDF files from our own software developed in C#. So if there are any open parameters I can pass to disable this save dialog that would be helpful as well.
Please advise or provide insight.
Thanks!
Seth

Seth -
This is the expected behavior for Reader X, it's somewhat unexpected, so let me explain the rationale behind it:
With Reader X, Adobe introduced the concept of sandbox - this mechanism severly curtails the rights provided to the Reader process to prevent exploits from running. In your case, Reader process cannot write to user's disk without users' explicit approval. The Save as dialog that you see is seeking that approval. Certain folders such as the TEMP folder are white listed, you should see if you can incorporate those into your workflows.

Proxy Authentication dialog box displayed very often

Hello,
since iOS 8.0 / 8.02 our iPads displays very often (somtimes more than 3 times a minute) for proxy authentication credentials.
We tried it with
- a payload in our Apple configurator (wifi) profile with automatic proxy config http://proxy/proxy.pac
- a manual configuration without profile and manual stored credentials and manual proxy configuration in the wifi connection
I think the manual configuration is a little bit better, but still inacceptable.
With iOS 7 and the same iPad and same apple configurator profile we don't have this problems.
Every help is appreciated.
Thanks
Michael

Dialog boxes freezing captivate

Captivate 7 appears to work fine... unit a dialog box displays. Such as "do you want to save" or "the project has many unused items,,, you can delete them." When a dialog box displays Captivate 7 totally freezes. If i mouse over the Save, or OK or other dialog box button, the button highlights (as usual with Microsoft windows), but clicking on it does nothing, What could be causing this?

Hi There,
Is this issue occurs with a particular project or with a new/ blank project as well?
Try to launch Captivate in administrative mode by right click on it and choose run as administrator.
Also try to reset the Captivate preferences by close the Captivate first and go to C drive / program files or program files x86 / Adobe / Adobe Captivate 7 / utils / run CleanPreferencesWin.bat file.
Launch Captivate and check it's performance.
Regards,
Ajit

A "success" dialog box keeps popping up during wifi connection

Since I've upgraded to Mavericks, an always-on-top dialog box displaying the text "Success!" keeps popping up about every few minutes... very annoying! At work, where I use my Macbook as well, a similar popup is shown, but the message is blocked by my company's proxy, so I get an "Access denied" message. How do I switch this off, and why is it there in the first place?
Using a Macbook Pro late 2011, running 10.9.

In system preferences, go to Network > Advanced > Proxies. At work, I have this set to a secure web proxy with some settings, but at home I switched it to Auto Proxy Discovery. This gets rid of the dialog (for me).
As of recently, I discovered I don't have to switch anymore at work, if I fill in the "bypass proxy settings blah" box, with some stuff the IT dept gave me.
