Flashing screen, small window

This 17 inch iBook starts up with a small 9.2 window in the center of the screen. The window is "framed" by about 2 inches of green background that starts flashing colors and flickering. The text on the screen changes colors,too. The hardrive shows only a 9.2 OS, and disk utility claims that the harddrive is okay.
I have "PRAM"ed it.
Any ideas?

Come on,
System 9 is so easy and reliable to use that it really is a case of copying the system folder over. In my opinion, MacOS9 is the best operating system built for any computer. One advantage it has over Mac OSX is that it makes no use of virtual memory whatsoever (it's an option which can but doesn't have to be used). Anyway, that's the subject of another debate I suppose.
But really, a bit of fiddling with the Display control panel in System 9 won't hurt (plus a cable to hook up to tv and/or external monitor). Sometimes Macs will forget that the tv/monitor is no longer there and will incorrectly show it as still connected in the control panel.
Now on Powerbooks it's always been possible to choose between an extended desktop or video mirroring - and on the so called 'consumer range' apple laptops only video mirroring is possible.
In the displays control panel the internal monitor is diplayed as LCD and the external monitor as VGA. The two are initially plonked on top of each other so I suspect most users will not be immediately aware that there are two settings to be made when they have monitors attached.
It's important to remember to set the LCD display resolution first. If you change the display resolution on your TV/VGA monitor from 800x600 pixels to 1280x768 pixels while your LCD is still set to 800x600 pixels, then the small window on the LCD effect will appear.
In my case, I have the TV hooked up but I still can't change the resolution. And I don't have the cable (yet - I'm in no rush to get it) to enable my VGA monitor to be attached.
btw, my iBook won't start up again - so it's status has now changed from 'dead' to 'unreliable'.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

I have the same question. This is also made more difficult as apple has taken away the handy full screen icon on the upper right hand corner.

How do you get bookmarks selected to appear in the full screen rather than the small window to the left

When I click on a bookmarked site, some of them show up on the large screen to the right, but mostonly show up in the much smaller window to the left and are therefor useless. this is even when I've opened a new tab. I never had this problem before, but recently received a new computer and this is the result after downloading firefox in this computer.

hello davinci2, please right-click any bookmark where this is happening, go to ''properties'' and make sure that they are not set up to open in the sidebar.

Since upgrade to 3.6.7 the emoticons window on a forum I use always opens full screen, not as a small window. How can I get it to open as a small screen again.

Since upgrading to 3.6.7, when I go to a forum I'm active on and click the emoticons icon in the reply box, the emoticons window opens full screen, and not as a small screen like it did before. I can click on the box to make it small again, but next time I open it, it's back to full screen. Ok, not a major problem, but really rather annoying. I've tried to find a way to get it back to opening the way it did before, but to no avail. Does anyone know how I can solve this little problem?
== I upgraded to 3.6.7

No-one got any ideas on this then? It's definitely a firefox problem, as when I open the forum page (mentioned in the OP) with Opera or Chrome, the emoticons window opens as a small window, same as FF used to before the upgrade.

When I start Firefox a small window flashes on the top left my vista desktop.

When I start Firefox a small window flashes on the top left my vista desktop. It flashes very quickly and looks no bigger then just the Minimize, Restore, and Close buttons of a window with a border. It doesn't happen when I open a new window. It happens in safe mode. It also happens after I've reset Firefox. I use MS security essentials and I've scanned with spybot and also malwarebytes. Anyone know what this may be?

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data and try to delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them).
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

TS3408 When I open safari from the dock it opens as a small window at the top of the screen that is totally white and does not have a tool bar or exit options. All I can do is force quit to exit. What do I do?

When I open safari from the dock it opens as a small window at the top of the screen that is totally white and does not have a tool bar or exit options. All I can do is force quit to exit. What do I do?

With Safari open, press Command , (comma) to open Safari Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
Turn that off, quit (or force quit) Safari then relaunch to test.

Cannot access safari but a small window appears on screen, cannot power off or restart

While on safari, it closed but has left a small window of page i was surfing, I cannot power-off ipad and will not let me go on safari or access anything

Close Safari and reboot your iPad. If you cannot close Safari or navigate to the home screen, just try the reboot described below.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to Safari if you don't see it, and then swipe "up" on the app thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

How do I resize my screen? I cant see the control f menu or the bottom of web pages unless I "restore down" to a smaller window size.

I cant see the control f menu or the bottom of web pages unless I "restore down" to a smaller window size.

The problem is when you maximize the window -- it is even bigger than the area available? Or the problem is that normal windows are always too large and have to be resized manually?

Which Adobe Flash player do I need for Facebook and other videos to show up on screen with Windows 8

PLEASE HELP ME WITH VIDEO FLASH PLAYER FOR WINDOWS 8 for FACEBOOK VIDEOS!

The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

What makes flash site small?

I keep on building and expanding the site and it gets bigger and bigger. Now it is over 4MB and I still have to do plenty of image additons.
I assumed that if I trim all the images I should be fine. So I went back in and made sure that all the images are at 72DPI, saved as 24PNG, and scaled down to about 75% on the screen from its original version (I did this just in case if someone will have a larger monitor than mine so all of them have enough resolution/size to be enlarged and appear nicely) But the site is still too big.
Larger PopUp windows are done as UI Loaders so they can not affect the size of the main file.
I can not figure out what else can be done.
I use one image for all the symbols. For example there is a small button of a product represented as a product photo which repeats on the other section of the site as an animated collage. Animated collage would require a bigger photo of this same product. So I would import this bigger photo and use it for a bigger collage and smaller button as not to incert a smaller png of the same file and to increase the file size.
The frame rate is set to 30fps.
The rest is code.
Can anyone suggest or point me in a right direction to what are the standard practices to keep the flash site small and where the main size guzzlers would be located?

Thank you, I understand now. Image quality is at my own discretion. I am
the best judge of what I see on the screen. I went through the files and
was able to shave off 0.5MB in size.
Could you please tell me why it is better to use mc instead of buttons,
rather than buttons.
Is this the best code for creating mc buttons:
// Btn1 Over function
function amimated_btnOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
amimated_btn.gotoAndPlay("over"); // go into btn1 movieclip and play the
over frame label
// Btn1 Out function
function amimated_btnOut(event:MouseEvent):void {
amimated_btn.gotoAndPlay("out"); // go into btn1 movieclip and play the out
frame label
// Btn1 Down function
function amimated_btnDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
//this.gotoAndPlay("myLabel"); // play any frame label in any movieclip
// Btn1 listeners
amimated_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, amimated_btnOver);
amimated_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, amimated_btnOut);
amimated_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, amimated_btnDown);
What is your opinion on creating buttons using tweener engine?
Thanks
