DVDSP4 start-up splash screen refuses to go; New command does nuttin'

I have just installed DVD Studio Pro 4 as part of the FCP Suite upgrade.
When I launch it, the splash screen stays right there. Clicking doesn't make it go away.
When I choose New from the menu, the File menu stays highlighted for a few moments and then nothing happens. However, if I choose Open, I can open a file and continue working with it. I just cannot create a New empty file.
What's going on? How can I fix this?

I have a simular problem.
Just upgraded to FCP Suite.
DVD Studio Pro 4.0.2 does not open all windows. just 2 windows are useable. if you click away of the application and click on it again, you can see all windows as normal but you can click nothing. nothing is activ -- the toolbar is completely disappeared. .....
I trashed everything I could.
I reinstalled everything.
I am desperate !!
Thanks!

Custom splash screen only shows up when command line is used...

Hi,
Everything in my Java web start application works perfectly but, the custom splash screen only shows up when command line is used ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin>javaws -verbose http://www.xxx.eu/AcSentVivresCrus/AcSentJnlp/AcSent.jnlp"), if I use the shortcut on the desktop or in the start menu, the Java 7 splash screen shows up (tested under Windows Vista and Seven). Does someone have any clues?
Thanks...

Hi again,
I made some researches :
- The link in the generated shorcuts ("C:\Windows\SysWOW64\javaws.exe -localfile -J-Djnlp.application.href=http://www.xxx.eu/AcSentVivresCrus/AcSentJnlp/AcSent.jnlp "C:\Users\Arnaud\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\46\69c1e9ee-1f252d1a") is not the same as the one I use in the command line ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin>javaws -verbose http://www.xxx.eu/AcSentVivresCrus/AcSentJnlp/AcSent.jnlp"). Is there a way in the the JNLP file to tell how to generate shortcuts (not the icon, etc., but command line options)?
- This sample (https://blogs.oracle.com/thejavatutorials/entry/changing_the_java_web_start) displays the splash screen when I click on the the generated shortcuts (I use Windows 7). I have copied the ButtonDemo jar file and the JNLP file on my IIS web server (Windows 2008 Server), this time the splash screen does not show up when I click the generated shortcuts but always shows up when I use the command line. Can someone tell me if it is a trouble with IIS ?
Thanks again...

Main program start before splash screen, help

hi:
below is the splash screen code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.util.Random;
class Splash extends JWindow {
     public Splash(String filename, Frame f, int waitTime) {
          super(f);
          JLabel l = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(filename));
          getContentPane().add(l, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          pack();
          Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
          Dimension labelSize = l.getPreferredSize();
          setLocation(screenSize.width / 2 - (labelSize.width / 2), screenSize.height / 2 - (labelSize.height / 2));
          addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
               public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
                    setVisible(false);
                    dispose();
          final int pause = waitTime;
          final Runnable closerRunner = new Runnable() {
               public void run() {
                    setVisible(false);
                    dispose();
          Runnable waitRunner = new Runnable() {
               public void run() {
                    try {
                         Thread.sleep(pause);
                         SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(closerRunner);
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                         e.printStackTrace();
                         // can catch InvocationTargetException
                         // can catch InterruptedException
          setVisible(true);
          Thread splashThread = new Thread(waitRunner, "SplashThread");
          splashThread.start();
below is the constructor that started the splash and the main:
public static void main(String args[])
PictureViewer PV = new PictureViewer();
standaloneApp = true;
splash Splash sw = new Splash("prestigestetho.gif",null, 5000);
the splash appear just fine, the problem is that it appears after
my main program appear first.
I try to shift the priority of splash, which is sw first and then PV,
in that case the splash screen appear first then PV, but this time PV
stay in front of sw makes it totally not viewable.
is there any method to make splash screen appear first and on the screen you can see the process of main program starting up (for example
: loading this ...., loading that.....) something like acrobat reader's
startup screen, and then splash screen disappear and then main program
pop up.

okay, I got it, it's under SwingSet2.java the related code is as follow:
// Used only if swingset is an application
private JFrame frame = null;
private JWindow splashScreen = null;
// The tab pane that holds the demo
private JTabbedPane tabbedPane = null;
private JEditorPane demoSrcPane = null;
private JLabel splashLabel = null;
* SwingSet2 Constructor
public SwingSet2(SwingSet2Applet applet, GraphicsConfiguration gc) {
// Note that the applet may null if this is started as an application
     this.applet = applet;
// Create Frame here for app-mode so the splash screen can get the
// GraphicsConfiguration from it in createSplashScreen()
if (!isApplet()) {
frame = createFrame(gc);
// setLayout(new BorderLayout());
     setLayout(new BorderLayout());
// set the preferred size of the demo
     setPreferredSize(new Dimension(PREFERRED_WIDTH,PREFERRED_HEIGHT));
// Create and throw the splash screen up. Since this will
// physically throw bits on the screen, we need to do this
// on the GUI thread using invokeLater.
createSplashScreen();
// do the following on the gui thread
     SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
     public void run() {
          showSplashScreen();
initializeDemo();
     preloadFirstDemo();
     // Show the demo and take down the splash screen. Note that
     // we again must do this on the GUI thread using invokeLater.
     SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
     public void run() {
          showSwingSet2();
          hideSplash();
     // Start loading the rest of the demo in the background
     DemoLoadThread demoLoader = new DemoLoadThread(this);
     demoLoader.start();
* Show the spash screen while the rest of the demo loads
public void createSplashScreen() {
     splashLabel = new JLabel(createImageIcon("Splash.jpg", "Splash.accessible_description"));
     if(!isApplet()) {
     splashScreen = new JWindow(getFrame());
     splashScreen.getContentPane().add(splashLabel);
     splashScreen.pack();
     Rectangle screenRect = getFrame().getGraphicsConfiguration().getBounds();
     splashScreen.setLocation(
screenRect.x + screenRect.width/2 - splashScreen.getSize().width/2,
          screenRect.y + screenRect.height/2 - splashScreen.getSize().height/2);
public void showSplashScreen() {
     if(!isApplet()) {
     splashScreen.show();
     } else {
     add(splashLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
     validate();
     repaint();
* pop down the spash screen
public void hideSplash() {
     if(!isApplet()) {
     splashScreen.setVisible(false);
     splashScreen = null;

Pavillion DV6338SE
When notebook is turned on it can take 5 minutes to an hour to get to the HP splash screen and boot. The blue leds blink then it seems to try again and again and again. If it gets to the HP Splash screen it always bootsThis happens even if a bootable CD is in the CD drive. Once it boots it "seems" to work OK. I have checked the HD in the "setup" and it tests OK. I have updated the bios.
I don't "think" it is the HD, maybe the controller?
Suggestions.
Hope is not another AMD motherboard that has plagued HP.over the last several years.
Thanks

Hp Pavilion P6724IT Stuck at HP Splash screen after install of new VGA

Hello people.
I buyed a new VGA, a Gigabyte GT740 2GB DDR5, before that i had an Asus GT630 2GB DDR3 and had no problems with it.
After mounting the new VGA i noticed the computer remains stuck at the initial splash screen with the HP logo.
Can't even get in to the bios, but if i remove the card and use it's igpu it's all ok.
I tried to update the bios to the latest version on the HP site (v.7.15) and nothing.
Tried to install with Windows 8.1, and with windows 7, nothing.
I tried all things i found on the net of people with the same issue, nothing again.
If i am fast enough and i press some keys it gets black screen and remains stuck anyway, do some beeps and then go in some kind of standby and if i keep pressed any key it does some cracklin noise.
Actually i can't afford a new motherboard so i wanted to find out with your help if i can find a solution to the problem, cause it's really frustrating and i spent many time trying to figure it out.
Sorry for my bad english!
Hope someone can help me
Cheers

Downloaded apps not starting after splash screens

I've had this device for about a month.
I recently paid the $10 to upgrade the software to version 3.0.
There are 1.9 free GB on the device.
I sync it via a Windows Vista machine.
I have not downloaded any apps through iTunes on the Vista machine. I have downloaded five apps directly onto the device through the App Store. Two of the five were free (New York Times Reader, Skype) and the others I paid for.
Everything has been working fine until this morning when I tried to open the NYTimes reader. It showed the opening screen, then dropped back to the home screen. The same is happening will all five downloaded apps.
I tried syncing in iTunes, but none of my downloaded apps is listed in iTunes on my computer. Are they supposed to be there?
I've seen a few other questions of this nature, but no solution that makes any sense to me.
I'm pretty surprised to have this happening on a Mac product. I have restarted the device twice, with no change. I have also hooked the device up to my computer and tried to sync it, but I don't see any change. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to try to sync, since I just want these apps to work, but they don't show up on the iTunes app list on my computer.

have you tried the other troubleshooting steps?

Z77A-GD65 Multiple BIOS Issues - B4 Hang, Splash Screen Blinking

Back in November 2012, I built a home server with a Z77A-GD65. Lately, I've noticed some strange things happening that I've been trying to research but to no avail.
First off, I get the B4 code hang-up whenever I'm booting. This doesn't matter if it's a cold boot or a reboot, it hangs on B4 for about 10-15 seconds, flashes 92 really quick, and then goes to A2 which it stays for another 5 or so seconds. After that I get the MSI splash screen for about 1 second, then it blinks 5 times. After that it goes into Windows just fine.
The blinking is a new issue, the B4 hang is not. I've read from multiple posts that this is a USB issue. When I disable USB legacy support, the issue goes away, but of course then I can't have legacy support. I have yet to figure out what exact device is causing it. In the process of trying to figure this out, I updated BIOS to A.A0. After updating to this version of BIOS the splash screen blinks 5 times before going to the "Starting Windows" splash screen. This is a more difficult issue to figure out why it's doing this because if you search for "BIOS" and "flash" or "flashes" or "flashing", you typically get results for flashing your BIOS. Hence, why I'm using the term "blinking". But even then I can't really find a solution out there.
I also happened to see that the website for the Z77A-GD65 is showing a newer BIOS version, but I'm unable to flash this (at least using M-Flash). I threw it on a USB, re-enabled USB legacy and whenever I click on it to install, the BIOS screen hard locks. The screen just freezes exactly where it's at in the BIOS and the mouse is dead. However, I can CTRL+ALT+DEL on the keyboard and it will reboot the system so I don't need to power cycle the computer. Not sure why this is happening either. Perhaps I need to flash this a different way? Maybe I don't need to flash this at all?
I could really use some input here on why this is happening.
As for the specs on my system, they're as follows:
i7-3770K overclocked to 4.2 Ghz by using the Turbo Mode in BIOS
32GB Komputerbay DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz DIMM with Low Profile Blue Heatspreaders Quad Channel RAM | 9-9-9-24 XMP ready
AMD PowerColor 7870 Myst Edition GPU - currently not overclocked although overclocking this doesn't seem to affect any issues
2 - 128 GB Corsair SATA III SSD - one runs the OS, the other I use to load games from
2 - 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM Sata II HDD's mirrored via Windows 7
1 - 750 GB Seagate Barracude 7200 RPM Sata II HDD
1 - 1 TB Western Digital MyBook USB 2.0 external
2 - 3 TB Seagate USB 3.0 external
ASUS DVD Burner - not sure which one, it's a cheapy $20 from Newegg
1 - PCI USB 3.0 expansion card
Antec TruePower New TP-550 Modular 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
NZXT Switch 810 gunmetal - currently have 4 fans running but plan on more, also the Switch 810 has the multi-card reader in the front with 1x SD Card, 2x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0
for peripherals
1 - Microsoft 360 Wireless controller adapter (legit one, not the knockoff although I had a knockoff prior to getting the real deal)
1 - Logitech Wireless USB Keyboard with Touchpad
I tried to be thorough. Thanks in advance for any help!

Probably a USB device problem.
This is a candidate, as well as mouse and keyboard. Disconnect USB devices one at a time to find the culprit.
A lot of devices running. PSU a +12V single rail or is it multi rail? A rail going to the graphics or components may not be enough amps. My best guess is the card reader.
For UEFI/BIOS flashing, select your mainboard here and use the forum flash method;
I'll definitely try unplugging some of these USB devices to see if that helps with the B4 hang issue.
As for the PSU, according to the description for it on Newegg: "Four industry-leading independent +12v rails are provided for more stable and safer power output." It has two rails going to the GPU. The GPU is a new addition to the system and so I wasn't running it until recently. The issues were occurring beforehand, but you're right that this PSU is underpowered for the rig considering PowerColor recommends a minimum of 500w. I'm going to be buying a larger capacity one sometime in the very near future. Any recommendations on good modular PSU's? What's a good way to tell what wattage to get?
Thanks for letting me know about the forum flash method. I'll be back later when I have some results.

HP Pavilion DV6 - Stuck at Splash Screen and RECOVERY

So the subject best summarzies whats happening. The "windows starting up" splash screen is stuck and never changes.
The recovery loades files and then all I get is the mouse on the screen.
Here's the diagnosis:
Memory Test: Passed
SMART: Check Passed
Short DST: Failed
Failure ID
RSPQW2-00071C-XD003G-60R403
PRODUCT ID
WQ625UA#ABC
HARD DISK 1
=======================
Start-Up Test : Failed

DST failed means the hard drive has failed or is failing fast. It will need to be replaced.If you are in warranty HP will send a replacement.If not you can use a retail laptop SATA hdd.Just be sure to get one of at least equal or larger capacity as the original 500gb in order to use Recovery Discs.
You will also need Recovery Discs to install Windows and software/drivers on the new hdd. Hopefully you have made a set-if not they can be ordered from HP for a small fee.
If you need more help with selecting a new hdd or replacing it post back.Maintenance & Service Guide here will show how to remove the hdd.

Is there any restrictions that Splash Icons can be applied only to those JNLPs accesed via webservers ?
ie .. if i have a JNLP and when i open it by double clicking , (ie the codebase in the JNLP file is reffered as file:///<system path> )the Splash Icon is not getting displayed . But when i try to open the same JNLP through weserver(tomcat)-http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/demo/filename.jnlp ,(ie the codebase in the JNLP file is reffered as http://........) The Splash icon is appearing ...
Is there any restrictions ????

Premiere ele 11 get splash screen then nothing

Premiere Elements 11: Version 20120921.B275.435760
Dell Latitude E6430
Intel Core i5-3210M @ 2.5GHz
RAM 8 GB
320 GB SCSI drive with 30% available
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit
I have been using APE 11 for over a year now with no difficulties. Yesterday I installed a new Logitech kb/mouse and trackball and APE quit working. It will start the splash screen then completely stops with no error message.
I watched task manager/processes and can see the APE process start and then it goes away as soon the splash screen disappears.
I uninstalled the Logitech drivers, rebooted and no change.
Next I deactivated and deleted APE and scanned with PCMatic, Malware, REGPRO, and Hit Man Pro. All are run from the local drive. No problems out of the ordinary were found.
I rebooted the computer then downloaded a fresh copy of APE 11 from the Adobe website.
Installation was done with virus checker and firewall turned off.
I am still having the same problem.
Photo Elements and Lightroom both are working fine.
Anybody have a suggestion. I have two client videos that I need to produce and more coming so I cannot afford to get behind.
Thanks

Let us cut to the standby deleting the Premiere Elements 11 Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 11.0 Folder in which it exists.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
and in the 11.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 11.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
When the splash screen (Welcome Screen) appears, do you see a progress bar with the features being loaded or nothing? If you do see this activities, on which feature does the loading activity stop?
We will be watching for your progress.
Thank you.

Add On...have you looked at the issue with and without the antivirus and firewalls disabled? I know that you had them disabled during installation. A ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) may be indicated.

Splash Screen Issues

I'm seeing some behavior I can't quite explain in regards to a Call by Reference node and some front panel updating. I have a splash screen which calls a vi (Launch.vi) which uses the factory pattern to load in my main screen and VI hierarchy. Also on the splash screen I have a loop which simply moves a status bar so the user gets to see something pretty while everything is loading up. Problem is that the progress bar doesn't start moving until everything has been loaded up, which is less than desirable.
Here's a video of my splash screen starting up. http://screencast.com/t/awwgq7ZtlsQ You can see that it sits idly for about 5 seconds then starts spinning up. Even my version indicator doesn't get updated until everything starts moving.
This is an image of the block diagram. When I put a probe on the i terminal of the top loop, the first value I see in the probe is somewhere >600, because it's not getting updated until all the action starts on the splash screen, which is after Launch.vi does it's business I'm pretty sure. Here's a video http://screencast.com/t/oWvqSxyB
So, why? What am I overlooking? I've tried about 40 different things to get this working how I want. Everything from using Start Asynchronous Call instead of Call by Reference, updating the slider in a different loop from the calculations. Getting rid of the notifier in the top loop. etc. etc.

I had a similar problem recently. I just did a quick test that you can see below and it confirms my original guess:
When I execute this, I can hear the "Beep" while my very large VI is loading. Similarly to what you describe, I cannot see "Numeric" update until after the VI is fully loaded. So, my guess is that the "Open VI reference" is somehow involved with the UI thread (or this could be internal to Windows) preventing the redraw (as well as any user input) until it is done with that action.
One way to work around this problem, but I have not tested it, is to create a list of the main subVIs and load them inidividually before loading the top level VI. Once the top level VI is loaded, close all the other references. You could load them one at a time inside a "For loop" with a "Wait 1ms" in between to release the CPU to process your GUI update.
Let me know what you find out, this is interesting

InDesign Crashing at splash screen

InDesign CS5 keeps crasing during the start-up splash screen. There is no error message, it immediatley opens the crash report. I've unistalled it and reinstalled it twice already with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for the thread it worked. I was having the same problem with Fireworks. All working now.
Here's the instructions that worked from the thread provided:

Re: CS5 crashes when opening
Hey Guys!
New in here, but I've been banging my head with this problem and found a very odd solution here... I will now explain:
When trying Photoshop CS5, I was surprised by a message that said that it couldn't save its preferences... So I went to where Mac stores its preferences files and to my amazement saw that every CS5 folder were locked to my user! Oddly enough, only CS5 preferences folder were locked... So I went manually and unlocked them all and... success!
So... go to /Users/[USER]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 7.0. In Finder menu, File/Get Info....
The last pane is something like Sharing and Permissions (don't know if this is exactly what it is called, I am working on a Portuguese Mac OSX). Expand it, press the little lock button, and press + button... add your user (I've added admin too, but don't know if it is necessary), give Reading and Writing privileges to it... and voilá!
Apparently everytime that an Adobe CS5 product creates a folder in there, it creates it with this weird users privileges... Really don't know if it is a Mac OSX (10.6.3) issue or Adobe CS5 (Master Collection Trial).
Hope this info helped...

Want to hide or mod FCP 6 Splash Screen

Just want to hide the splash screen on my FCP system. I rent it to indy projects and I want to protect my serial. How can I access the Splash Screen Image? I've been able to mod the splash screen on all the other apps on the rental system but can not find or get to the Splash Screen for Color and FCP 6. I know that a real hacker can find my serial some how but I am not trying to block those geniuses. Just the lazy ones that are willing to go as far as copying or screen grabbing my Splash Screen and or About Screens to get a working serial. I know how to mod the Splash Screen to hide my serial and how to hide the app so the user can't get to the splash screen. I just don't know where the splash screen file is. I've read that it is in the .nib files? I just wanna hide my serial. Don't care if I mod it myself or install an app that does it for me. Any apple people or anyone else know what I can do to protect my product. I've also been told that the splash screen does not display the full serial but it soo totally does. Hey apple, please add the ability to hide this splash screen. Perhaps with it's own password to unlock and show again? OR, make splash screen hiding a universal ability in the OS. That would be sweet! Anyway,... ideas?

Hey all. I have been able to mod the splash screen on all the apps in FCP Studio 2 except for FCP and Color. The other studio apps Splash Screens access a .psd file. The only files I've found in Color that seem like they might be the splash screen files are ft_splash.Isi, ft_splashEDU.Isi, ft_splashNFR.Isi and ft_splashVOL.Isi
How do I open a .Isi file? If I can figure that out I can hide the serial number for Color but it still leaves FCP. Why do apps show the serial on the splash screen at all? What purpose does this serve?
