Display Problem - some applications are displayed very blurry

Hello, I have a Thinkpad L 540 with Win 8 Pro and some applications are displayed very blurry.
What should I do ? Win 7 has no problems with it.
Thanks for your help

Ah, so you have a first-gen model from the looks of it. If I might make a suggestion, please update your tagline as follows to assist others in helping you:
MBP (Early 2006)
You can expand upon this as you like.
Perhaps I wasn't reading the original post, but what version of Windows were you running at the time?
As I recall, that model line of MacBook Pros needed an EFI firmware update to operate Boot Camp. Before the mid-2006 speed bump, these models also needed an SMC firmware patch. With the EFI update, your "Boot ROM revision" should be MBP11.0055.B08
If you can boot to Safe Mode, try using the Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features applet in your Control Panel to uninstall the ATI driver properly. Should that fail, search out "ATI Catalyst Uninstaller" using your favorite Web crawler. The first thing to come up should be AMD's uninstall tool, which you can then run to get rid of the driver.
Once you've done this, reinstall the ATI software from your Leopard/Boot Camp DVD and re-run the Boot Camp 2.1 patch from the Web; this should properly update the ATI software and get you back on track.
We would also need to rule out whether a recent update caused this issue, in which case rolling back to a prior restore point may help. You may lose documents created between the restore point time and the present, but this is normal.
The only other possibility I can suggest is to rebuild your entire Boot Camp setup and take notes as you get back up to the point where the blackout occurred. This way, you'll have some documentation handy whether you repost here or contact Apple directly.
Good luck,
Nate

My iphone 3S camera was working fine, but now the pics are getting very blurry. I've already tried cleaning the lens. What else should I try doing?

My iphone 3GS pics are getting really blurry. At first it didn't happen. I`ve tryed cleaning the lens, but it didn`t work. What else should I try doing?

I would call Apple tech support, which is excellent. Or take the phone to your local Apple store - not AT&T or Verizon, as the Apple techs specialize in Apple products and are somewhat fanatical about them.
Regarding the photos, they are probably still on the simm card in the phone and recoverable. Check with the Apple folks to get them back... sorry about your pet!

ViewSonic VX2435wm Display very blurry

I tried hooking up the Viewsonic display as a 2nd on my MBP, and no matter what i do it looks terrible. Text is fuzzy, nothing is very sharp. I've had this monitor hooked up to my work PeeCee for some time, and while it's nothing very special in terms of quality, it's never looked this bad. I mean it's almost unusable, especially when I glance back at my nice, crisp MBP display...
I've tried everything I can think of from the on board monitor settings to trying every resolution available, trashing display prefs, etc.
Am I just screwed with this combo?

what res is it running in? what connection - VGA or DVI?
DVI is going to look a bit sharper than VGA & if it's a 24" screen, you should be running at 1920 X 1200 or so.

L192W display very blurry after a few hours of operations

I have a J115 with a L192W , GeForc6100 on board card.
I noticed recently that after a few hours of usage, the L192 screen becomes blurry where every icons, windows or text has a shadow.
If I turn off the power for a few minutes, the problem goes away for a while and then came back.
Anyone has similar experience?
THanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

after a couple of months tinkering with different solutions, i happened to see my neighbor on his way to the PC-recycle place to recycle his 12 yo CRT monitor from Viewsonic . The monitor came with a old (but thick) VGA cord.
I asked if I can try that before he recycles it. That was the solution.
My guess is that the stock VGA cable that came with the monitor was not shielded properly and it picked up some interferences from some other electrical sources or something.
Anyway hope that helps someone else in the future
PS: I ended up recycling the new stock L192 VGA cable and use the 12 year old Viewsonic VGA cable instead.

Mac app store problem: some applications that are not installed are seen as installed

After configuring the new imac, I open the mac app store, and although I have not installed any application of previously purchased, I see them as installed. I can not download them again.
I tried to delete one from the old imac, but nothing changes.
Tips?

Andrea, it is still difficoult for me to understand.
In your first post you wrote "After configuring the new iMac", later you write about a backup disc, an old Mac etc...
Configuring the new iMac: I imagine you got it with an OS installed and you imported your stuff from the old Mac with Setup Assistan (Assistente Installazione) or Migration Assistant or from a Time Machine backup. The difference between Setup and Migration assitant is explained here https://discussions.apple.com/message/19130045#19130045
Or did you simply copied your Apps and data from one mac to the other ?
Sorry if this question may be seen stupid or offending: I only try to understand.
At the end of the Migration you should have disconnected the external disc (or the other Mac in Target mode). Why then you opened the AppStore ? I imagine to download again some Apps which were not transfered by the Migration process. But since you write you opened the AppStore AFTER the configuring I assume you did it from the new iMac booted from its own disc with other drives disconnected. Or do you have a copy of the old system on the same disc ?
About the question of "open with" you write that sometimes the files ask to be opened with Apps in the other disc instead with the same App on the boot disc. You have to disconnect the external discs and again use the Open with command but select "Other", find the correct App and chack the box "Open always with this App" (Apri sempre con questa applicazione".
If you have some Apps not yet migrated from the old system to the new one I do not understand why, because Migration assistant should transfer all Apps (Apple and third party). Should it be possible to do a second Migration ?

Can anyone help me solve the problem of text displaying very rough on my new ASUS PA279Q display monitor running off my MacBook Pro?

This is regarding a brand new ASUS PA 279Q, 2560 x 1440 IPS monitor. I'm connected via mini display port (into thunderbolt port on MacBook Pro) to display port on ASUS monitor; using cable ASUS included with the monitor. Mid 2012 MacBook Pro…full specs at bottom of this post.
I have resolution set at 2560 x 1440 which is the native resolution according to the ASUS spec. I tried the other resolutions available in my System Preferences and text displayed rough with those settings too. I've tried adjusting contrast, brightness and sharpness via the ASUS control panel and didn't solve the problem. Also tried calibrating via Mac's system preferences/display and that did not improve text display either. All the text on this monitor (no matter what software I launch, Finder, InDesign, Illustrator, MS Word, Excel, VMWare Windows XP, Windows versions of Word, Excel, Acrobat, etc, all are consistently rendering text the same way --- ROUGH and with "HALOS" around each letter.
All point sizes of text and at various scales, display very rough on the screen. (My comparison is the retina display of my MBP and a Thunderbolt…so those two displays are my expectations.) I'm using the same MBP for both a Thunderbolt display (at work) and this ASUS at my home office.
On the ASUS it's not as noticeable when the text is on white backgrounds, but I'm a graphic designer and compose images with text all day everyday. Not to mention the specs on this ASUS PA279Q indicate it's built for the professional so I would expect better text rendering. I haven't even addressed color calibration and balance yet, because that won't matter to me if the text won't display any better than it is now.
I was so hopeful after researching all the specs on this monitor it would be a viable alternative to the glossy display of the Thunderbolt display. (Which, I do love the Thunderbolt display for it's clarity and how it displays crisp, clean text at all sizes. (This ASUS actually displays text decently if I increase the text so each letter is about 4" high. Which is pointless for practical purposes -- that'd be like doing page layout through a microscope!)
I kept holding off on getting a monitor for the home office thinking the Thunderbolt would be updated soon. I'd be sick if I dropped a grand on piece of 2011 technology only to learn a few days later an updated Thunderbolt display hit the market! Not to mention, I'm praying Apple comes out with a less reflective Thunderbolt display. The glare and reflection is the main reason I looked elsewhere for a large monitor; hence my asking for help. Hoping the ASUS text display issue can be worked out. My expectation is for it to display like the MBP retina and Thunderbolt display text. That possible?
Alternatively, I guess I could do the Apple Refurb Thunderbolt at $799. And see if there's a decent aftermarket anti-glare I could stick on it?
Thanks for reading my post. Hope someone can help; offer any suggestions? Words or wisdom?
Has anyone else had similar issues and figured out a resolution? Help!

I uninstalled those two items. It still runs slow on start-up and when opening safari, firefox, iphoto, itunes, etc. It's not snappy like it used to be. Any other ideas? Thanks.

You are not speaking to Apple here. So none of us can "fix it."
TRy try quitting the Photos app followed by a reset of the ipad. To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app. Then Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

Display problem - brightness and grey area

My 24" iMAC has been suffering with a grey section (middle vertical third of screen) on start-up. This lasts for 5-10 minutes, after which time the middle section resumes its normal brightness. Recently, I've noticed another problem and that is there is very little difference on the screen between the brightness at its lowest level and when it is at its highest. What has happened?

Same problem here (with a Mac Mini 2009 model with the same nvidia chip as your aluminum MacBook) and a LG L204WT 20" monitor. Although on my LG monitor, if I reduce the sharpness setting one step (from 5 to 4), the flickering completely stops. This does make the display slightly fuzzier, but it feels better to my eyes than the flickering. Can you test this on your monitor also, and tell me if it helps?

Some Unit Price are not displayed on BOMs.

Some Unit Prices are not coming up on BOMs. If you click on the Price List drop down on the row and simply select the price list again then the price shows up.
I reproduced this on demo database PL15 + PL16.
Production > Bill of materials
Unit Price is empty for one of the items on the BOM
Select u2018Base priceu2019 again from list (on row)
Price populates
Logged in user is a superuser

Any ideas what could be causing this? I did not find any relevant SAP note.
The client noticed it after upgrade to PL16

Hi Gordon,
I can manually refresh by choosing the price list again on the rows, then on the header and hit Update (Last Purchase Proce doesn't have the arrow at the bottom to click on to refresh). This solves the problem for now but for the long-term we want to find out why this occurred and how to prevent it happening again. Before upgrade, the customer did not have to manually refresh. Do you think it can be a bug?
Thanks

Display very slow in RH8

Hi all,
I just upgraded to RH8 (via TCS 2). If I try to display a
topic from the Project tab (double-click or right-click>Edit),
it takes 5 to 10 seconds to actually display the topic in the
Design tab - repeated for each topic, it makes things very very
slow. When the topic at last displays, it's another 3 seconds for
the cursor to appear after I click within the topic. The same thing
happens each time I click back and forth between Design and any
other pod.
I searched the forums and KB but the problem has never been
reported with RH8. Performance used to be an issue in RH7 with
iWYSIWYG.dll. I tried to revert to a former version of this dll but
my topics would no longer be recognized.
My PC is brand new, 2Go RAM, 2.53 Ghz, running Windows XP SP3
Any idea what's happening?
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
I'm still scratching my head on this.
To answer Peter, things go wrong as soon as I import one file
from an existing project in my newly created project. This will
also import the related css and images. I found that if I apply
default.css (the one created from scratch) to the imported files,
things seem to be better but not much and not always.
I then tried every possible test working on the imported css,
thinking the problem lied there. There was something strange
indeed. All paragraph styles were duplicated under list styles with
the prefix Kadov-P (eg Kadov-PNormal). I deleted those, saved and
compiled.
The paragraph styles appeared duplicated again under List
styles, this time with the prefix P- or H-. Deleted those again and
now they seem to be gone for good. But the topics still display
very slowly.
What baffles me is that this behaviour is random. If all
topics do display slowly, some will be very slow (one amounted to
20 seconds!), others less so. This is not linked to topic size, nor
to the presence of particular elements (images, bookmarks or
whatever). the HTML code is clean (at least, W3C compliance
validation won't report anything serious).
Well, if you have any more ideas, they'll be very welcome.
Thanks

Album art displays very slowly!

I hope someone can help me. I called AppleCare and some guy didn't even know what I was talking about. I have a lot of music I bought at the iTunes Store which is saved in the ITunes folder via artist, then album, then tracks. I have checked the icon preview button so that my album art will display on every track. Before I updated to Leopard 10.5.3, the redrawing of the album art was very fast; now however it is slow as molasses. I would appreciate any input on this issue. Thank you.

This is an update to my original post. It appears my iTunes Library file is corrupted, because when I created a new iTunes library file, all my art work on my tracks displayed very fast, no slowdown at all. Also when I logged in as a different user, same thing. No problems with my album art being displayed. Is there a way of fixing a corrupted iTunes library file? I have a lot of music, videos and TV shows, all neatly arranged in various playlists I created. Just to do it over again would take me weeks. Also since I've been backing my internal drive using Time Machine, can I go back and retrieve my iTunes library file before it became corrupted? Thank you for any help you can give me.

I have a one year old Macbook Air 13. I have a brand new 22" external monitor. When I connect my external monitor it initially provides a nice display - very accurate and no distortions. But, within a few minutes the screen begins a incessant series

I have a one year old Macbook Air 13. I have a brand new 22" external monitor. In turning the Macbook and monitor on, the monitor displays very well, but within a few minutes it begins this incessant blinking (temporary black out of the screen that lasts anywhere from 1-5 seconds). This has been going on for a long time (it also happended with my older monitor which apparantly I threw out when I should have kept it thinking it was the problem). From reading various blogs in the Apple support community, this appears to be a widespread problem, but I don't find a solution, only a lot of speculation. I'm very surprised the Apple folks haven't figured this out. As a new Apple user, heretofor, I have been very impressed with the support and effort to get fixes out to users. This, however, has me frustrated to the point of junking my Mac and going back to a PC. I love the Macbook Air and most of the functionality, but I cannot function without an external monitor. Anybody have any ideas, please help. Frustrated, Jim

Your dsplay is getting extended onto the external monitor. Chcnage the setting to duplicate it or only display on the external monitor and you should be fine,
Let me know if this worked for you.

I have recently upgraded to Lion and iCloud. There are two very annoying quirks that i don't know how to fix:
1-When working with word, documents or emails in the middle of a sequence the picture or window suddenly is yanked off the screen to the right. More often than not it can't be retrieved. This happens often
2-In the same mode as in #1 above the print size will suddenly increase maybe by a factor of 3x or 4x. it happens spontaneously.
3-There are many other problems with the upgrade:
-With sequence emails the secondary emails are not printed. When one tries to open those emails it often fails.
-The new address book format is crap. it is very difficult to go from single listings to group listings and back.
It's obviousto me the Apple software designers are not users.
So how can i fix #1 & 2 above.

Microsoft Word? What version and service pack?
Microsoft Office 2011 SP2 includes Word version 14.2.2. Some Office 2011 updates addressed problems with Lion.

How can NI FBUS Monitor display very large recorded files

NI FBUS Monitor version 3.0.1 outputs an error message "Out of memory", if I try to load a large recorded file of size 272 MB. Is there any combination of operating system (possible Vista32 or Vista64) and/or physical memory size, where NI FBUS Monitor can display such large recordings ? Are there any patches or workarounds or tools to display very large recorded files?

Hi,
NI-FBUS Monitor does not set the limitation on the maximum record file size. The physical memory size in the system is one of the most important factors that affect the loading of large record file. Monitor will try loading the entire file into the memory during file open operation.
272MB is a really large file size. To open the file, your system must have sufficient physical memory available. Otherwise "Out of memory" error will occur.
I would recommend you do not use Monitor to open a file larger than 100MB. Loading of a too large file will consume the system memory quickly and decrease the performance.

I'm having problems with FlashPlayerPlugin and plugin-container. They keep starting up and bogging down the system. This has been a recent occurrance. I've made sure that I have the latest version. I notice the problem when I am opening some applicatio, and it freezes. If I go to Task Manager, I can see the two Adobe apps sucking up CPU cycles. If I end the processes, then the other apps continue. Today, I uninstalled FlashPlayerPluginqand plugin-container. All day since I have had no freezing of an app. What should I do to correct the problem?

Here's an explanation of what those processes are.
Inside Flash Player Protected Mode for Firefox
I'm curious about what you did to uninstall just those.
