Flickering/Refresh rates RoboHTML 6.0

We just recently upgraded to RoboHTML 6.0. Now the Topics
Pane on the left-hand side of the screen refreshes constantly. This
constant flickering is enough to drive you batty. I looked at
refresh rates in the online help & the only thing I could find
had to do with Robosource Control which we do not have loaded.
One interesting thing that I just discovered is that the
project that is flickering is a very big project divided into 30
folders & hundreds of topics in each folder. I just opened a
much smaller project & it doesn't flicker at all. Makes me
wonder if it doesn't have something to do with the size of the
project.
Can anyone please tell me how to fix this? I sometimes spend
all day inside that huge project & that flickering is awful!
Thanks!

Hi all
Cindys, you may wish to try closing RoboHelp, opening Windows
Explorer and clobbering the ProjectName.CPD file. Just rename it so
RoboHelp can't find it. Then restart RoboHelp HTML and open the
.XPJ file. The .CPD should rebuild automatically as a result and
may eliminate the flicker. But be forewarned that the flicker will
likely continue until the .CPD has been fully rebuilt.
As for checking that RoboHelp WYSIWYG is the default editor,
it normally is. The trick is often the other option that is often
missed. The setting that determines whether the editor is
auto-selected or if the default is used. Normally that one is
configured for auto-select. If so, it *COULD* cause a different
application to open, depending on what was used to initially create
the topic page.
Cheers... Rick

Quicktime Video on an LCD Projector Problems & Refresh Rate?

I'm having an issue and don't have a lot of experience with this but hopefully someone has some insight.
When i play back video (formats including DV, DV50, HDV, PRORES422 / interlaced or progressive / frame rates of 23.98 or 29.97) in full screen using Quicktime Player (version 7.4.5) and Present (Shift CMD F) to a projector, the video plays and looks good, with the exception of during certain portions of the video (generally, with a lot of motion), i see either a flicker or what appears to be a scan line, tear, or a trace that scrolls vertically up the image. The flickering/trace is consistent with regard to a particular portion of the video, though when i adjust the refresh rate for the projector, the behavior of the flicker or scrolling trace changes (say at 60hz, it scrolls slowly up vs 85hz where i see mostly flickering/tearing of the image or multiple traces scrolling up). I've tried 3 different projectors, and every combination of screen resolution and refresh rate with no success.
I should point out that when i play these videos full screen on a cinema display (20in or 23in) i don't see this behavior at all.
So, i have a few specific questions:
1. Is anyone familiar with this behavior and any solutions?
2. The projector is connected with a VGA cable and DVI adapter. Might a DVI cable resolve the issue? Is the behavior a result of the analog input? (The cinema displays are connected via DVI and don't exhibit the behavior)
3. If it is a projector issue, any recommendations on a good projector for presenting video played back from a computer?
Thanks in advance for your help. If i've posted in the incorrect forum, please do direct me to the right place.
Shane

Just a fast reply... something to think about...
Use 60hz, most lcd are 60hz. Check you resolution specs for the projector. If the native resolution is 800x600 use that setting if higher use that.....
If your using the lcd as a secondary display try setting the main display to the same specs. Sometime a mismatch between the two displays can cause problems.
Go with the lcd spec settings that's the main priority and the main display isn't.

Satellite M55-s3315: Screen refresh rate is 60 Hertz?!

I have bought Toshiba m55-s3315 analog m50-s.... with intel 910 built-in, shared dynamic 128 mb memory; screen - 14.0" WXGA widescreen display with Toshiba TruBrite . Only refresh rate i get is 60 Hertz. I have updated intel chip software and toshiba also ... I would like to know is it possible to get more than 60 Hertz. The only way is to get 85 Hertz is to add extarnal monitor. I there oportinity to get at least 75 Hertz screen refresh rate ??? It was possible with my old HP Pavilion ze 5000.
May be someone could explain me??
Thank in advance!!!

Hi
I have noticed that on some Toshiba notebooks the screen refresh rate is fixed on 60 Hz. I have two of them. On Tecra M1 is fixed and on Satellite 1900 not. I have tested it and there is no difference if the refresh rate is changed.
The TFT technology is much better than on usual monitors where the display flickering is visible on lower refresh rate. On display you will not see any flickering. In my opinion there is no reason for panic.

Refresh rate HP 850 G1 (Intel 4400)

Hi all, I have a HP 850 G1 laptop and in general I'm very happy with it. In the past I only had a slight issue with screen flickering at lower brightness settings, but setting the refresh rate to 40p hz resolved that issue. After updating to Windows 10, however, it was no longer possible to set the refresh rate to 40p hz. Since I hoped reverting back to Windows 8 would solve it, I performed a factory reset. I am currently using Windows 8 again but it's still not possible to switch to 40p hz, not even through the Intel Custom Mode App. The graphics report from the Intel graphics control panel confirms that the monitor supports the1920x1080x40p hz mode.

Macs Won't Forget Refresh Rate - LCD Refresh Out of Range

I have a new Viewsonic LCD for an old G4. I had to use an ADC to DVI adapter.
The first time I booted up my Mac, the monitor worked fine. I went into the Display Preferences and, like an idiot, I selected 90 hz because, like an idiot, I thought 90 hz was better than 60 hz.
My screen went black and the monitor said "Frequency out of range", etc. I have talked to AppleCare and I have tried everything and nothing I do gets this Mac to revert to 60 hz at 1280 x 1024.
Tried zapping PRAM, didn't work.
Tried booting into Safe Mode and selecting another resolution. I do that, reboot, it reboots in that lower resolution. I select 1280 x 1024 and my screen goes black because it's going into that 90 hz.
Created another account, didn't work.
I plugged in my old CRT into the VGA port. I was able to select 1280 x 1024 at 60 hz. Turned off the Mac. Plugged in the LCD. Turned the Mac back on and it went black.
It does this when you log in. The actual bootup is in 1280 x 1024 60 hz. I get the login screen fine. It's when I log in, into any account, it goes back to that 90 hz mode.
In Windows, if you select a resolution or refresh rate, a dialog comes up asking you if this mode is OK and if after 15 seconds you don't click on anything, it reverts back to the original resolution. Apple doesn't want to do that, I guess, because they want me to use their monitors.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

You should probably just trash the preferences file(s). That will give you a fresh start with the Viewsonic. See this thread:

Second monitor has a 50Hz refresh rate; my mac's lowest output is 60. What can I do?

I'm trying to get my 13" Late-2011 macbook pro to work with either of two second monitors so I can use logic more easily. One's a DELL thing with a screen res of 1280x1024 (though does work on some higher res') which I had working yesterday till I accidentally knocked the adaptor the slightest bit and now I can't make the second screen stay on for more than a few seconds whatever settings I try. Usually the monitor is on (ie not in power save mode) but just displaying nothing, and my mac behaves as if the second monitor is there.
The other one's a Toshiba 20WLT56B Tv with VGA input. The prob with this one is that it's refresh rate is 50Hz and the lowest option I have for my mac is 60Hz. Is there any way to allow me to output at 50Hz instead?

IPad Air display refresh rate for full screen movies?

What exactly happens if I play a movie on the iPad full screen with a rate of e.g. 24p, 25p or 50i?
The stated maximal refresh rate is 60Hz.
Will this rate be reduced when playing movies?
Or will frames be dropped / interpolated if the frame rate and the refresh rate don't match?
Or will the movie be sped up / slowed down?
When using the HDMI adapter, I can see that it always outputs 60p, regardless of the movie frame rate. But maybe this is different on the internal panel.
Thanks for any insight!

Should it happen again double tap the screen with three fingers. Then go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.

How to change screen refresh rate in windows 7sp1 and windows 8.1 iso image using dism

sir when i install windows 7sp1 and windows 8.1 then after the completion of setup when first time windows boots up then task bar is not shown and display is not clear and when i check under monitor settings the screen refresh rate is 60 Hertz and when i
set the screen refresh rate from 60 Hertz to 75 Hertz, then everything is OK, plz tell me why this happens?
why windows 7 sp1 and windows 8.1 automatically sets the screen refresh rate to 60Hertz instead of 75Hertz.
how can i set screen refresh rate 75 Hertz permanently in iso image using DISM ?

That is not a function of DISM. Resolution and refresh rate capabilities can be determined by multiple causes. Drivers are one, another is that most modern displays will report their capabilities to Windows.
You can specify display settings with an answer file however:
<Display>
<HorizontalResolution>640</HorizontalResolution>
<VerticalResolution>480</VerticalResolution>
<ColorDepth>16</ColorDepth>
<RefreshRate>60</RefreshRate>
</Display>

How Can I change my refresh rate to 75hz for on LCD using 91.47 drivers?

HI,
I use a 19" LCD and have always changed my refresh rate to 75hz to avoid ghosting in games like fifa 06 (60hz causes a nasty ghost on my 8ms panel). I have been using the 81.98 drivers and could create an override to use 75. The new driver will allow me to change the refresh rate to 75, but will not let me use it - I get the message "The custom resolution cannot be added". I have coolbits2 installed. Is there a registry setting that I can add to allow me to change the refresh rate? If not, I'll just go back to the 81.98. I am also using the DVI connection.
Thank you,
* This is on my Sli PC in my sig. *

I know that on my particular LCD monitor, if I go above the recommended rates, then the screen will just go black and won't let me see anything. Usually it displays a message telling me that it cannot display. I think it especially does this with the DVI connection.
You may have tried it allready, but just make sure that in your display properties you have unchecked the option to only display resolutions allowed by the monitor.
You may also want to try and see if it will let you do it with a VGA connection instead of the DVI.
Otherwise, you just may have to go back to the earlier driver.

Why is the refresh rate slower in lab mode? photoshop cc 2014

hi
why is the refresh rate slower in lab mode?
for example i load an image , rgb , ad an adjustament layer -> curve and i start to play with curve -> the refresh is instantaneous (i mean the image become more dark or lighter instantaneous )
but if i load an image -> conver in lab mode , the refresh rate is slower
i tried cs6 too, same behavior
ps how can i have an email to notify me that someone answer to this discussion?

Max refresh rate Macbook PRO -- LG TV

Hello,
I am connecting my LG LN5700 TV with a max refresh rate of 120 Hz to my Macbook Pro via HDMI using the cables listed below. However, the display settings on connection only show option for frequency upto 60 Hz (and mentions NTSC in paranthesis). Any ideas why I am not able to access the max refresh rate ? The HDMI cable claims to support higher refresh rates. Could the mac_disp --> HDMI be the bottleneck ?

Not that I know of... for display on my LG TV, I used to use a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort -> HDMI adapter. But I ran it through the HDMI on my Denon reciever and then to my LG TV. If you've an extra HDMI port on your LG, you could use the same adapter -> here.

Xorg and refresh rates

I'm running Solaris Express 10 x86 4/05 on a Dell Optiplex GX260. Xorg refuses to give me a refresh rate higher than 60Hz. This is using the i810 driver but it also happens with the VESA driver. Here's my xorg.conf:

# EndSectionIf I use the Xsun server, everything works great. I get 1024x768 at 85Hz. With Xorg, I get 1024x768 at 60Hz. Why won't Xorg drive the display at a decent refresh rate?
Thanks.

I upped the log verbosity on Xorg and checked the Xorg.0.log file. I found some interesting things.
First, I found this line:
(II) I810(0): Will use BIOS call 0x5f05 to set refresh rates for CRTs.
Later on, I found these:
(WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f05 not supported.
(II) I810(0): BIOS call 0x5f05 not supported, setting refresh with VBE 3 method.
(WW) I810(0): Set VBE Mode rejected this modeline.
Trying standard mode instead!
Presumably, "standard mode" is an eye-watering 60Hz.
This is on a Dell Optiplex GX260 with BIOS revision A09. The video chipset is an onboard Intel 82845 and the driver is Xorg's i810.
Everything works fine with Sun's X server. I get a nice 87Hz refresh at 1024x768. I'm surprised that Xorg can't set the refresh on this machine. It's listed as Test Suite Level 2 certified in the HCL. Unless somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong here, I'm going to post this incompatibility as a comment on the HCL.

Altering refresh rates

Howdy folks!
I've got an 800mhz emac. The CRT is shot. I am able to use the external monitor plug. I had (have) an external Mac monitor but it is as big as the emac and I am running out of desk space. I bought a 15" Gateway LCD off a craigslister to park in front of the emac chassis. I got the message the the input was out of range for the monitor. I reconnected the mac monitor and tried to reset the refresh rate. There were other rates listed but they were greyed out and not accesible. After lots of reading on this board I found a link to an application called SwitchResX which allowed me to make the changes I need and the LCD is working now.
Here's the rub: SwitchResX is a 10 day limited shareware product. It costs $18.50 (or thereabouts) to register it. I will pay it in the end if I can't find relief elsewhere but I feel like I ought to be able to accomplish a change in video refresh rates without having to shell out $$ to a third party.
Anyone know of a more straightforwad, less costly way to achieve DIY video adjustments?
TIA!

Bump for last minute plea before paying ....

Judder using Mplayer... maybe force different resolution/refresh rate?

Hi!
(I posted this in the newbie section too, but this is maybe the most appropriate place??)
I've set up my computer as a media center using Freevo. As the main media player in Freevo I use Mplayer. The setup is working beautifully, but I'm getting some judder and it's a bit annoying. It's most noticable during bright, fast moving scenes.
So I've been trying to figure out how to remedy this, but it's harder than I thought. My setup is the following:
AMD 4200+ dual core, 2 gigs ram, Nvidia 7800GTX, 24" LCD and Pioneer LX508D plasma TV, and I'm using CoreAVC as decoder (amazing piece of software )
When I bought the 24" screen for my computer the sales guy (using windows) forced the resolution to 1920x1080. It looked a bit stretched, but if I could do this in Linux I'd avoid having parts of the picture missing on my TV. Now I have to use 1920x1200 resolution as main X session and since my TV is 1920x1080 parts of the desktop is out of view on my TV. This isn't too big of a deal though cause when playing movies they come out in 1920x1080. It'd be nice though to get the correct aspect ratio between my pc screen and my TV (I've been trying to use Twinview and clone, but it's impossible to use 1920x1200 on the 24" and 1920x1080 on the TV at the same time). I've tried to force my pc screen to use 1920x1080 (since it worked in windows it's supposed to be possible), but when I enable it through xorg.conf the screen goes blank. Using nvidia-settings doesn't give me the option of using 1920x1080 on the 24" at all.
So what I'm hoping to be able to do is to force the computer screen to use 1920x1080 and a refresh rate of 72Hz. This should eliminate alot of the judder and at the same time I won't have to use the "PC mode" on my TV (PC mode restrict the Hz to max 60Hz). Hopefully the TV will accept the 1920x1080 72Hz as any input and let me use the normal input (and then be able to use 72Hz... or 96Hz for that matter).
Anyone know how I might be able to do that? I'd really appreciate any help at all since this is the only thing that's not perfect with my setup.

Ok, I tried to change the xorg.conf file to 72Hz on the TV and it when black again. This is what the xorg.0.log shows:

My xorg.conf looks like this now (I don't know what values to use for HorizSync and VertFresh on my TV, the ones that are in there I just made up ):

I read somewhere that the TV is supposed to be able to show 1080p in 72Hz. But when I try that it goes blank. Maybe it has something to do with the monitor being 1920x1200 and the TV 1920x1080. The monitor won't accept 1920x1080 as resolution so I guess that can only be done in Windows...

Application control methods to prevent jerky graph refresh rate

Hi all,
In the simplest terms, what I am trying to achieve is a VI with a button on. When the user presses the button, a subVI is executed which acquires some data which is displayed on 2 graphs. The first graph has cursors which can be moved by the user to define the limits of the data plotted on the second graph.
I created a VI that did the 2 graphs with the limits and they updated fine (see attached file Stiffness and Damping.vi). However, this was when loading some data from a text file (attached as LabTestData.txt).
When I replaced the loading bit with the DAQ subVI, when the user changed the cursors on the first graph, the range of data on the second graph remained unchanged (see attached file FIND SAD v1.vi).
I then changed the structure so the data acquisition was in a different loop to the analysis and this works to a certain extent, apart from the fact that the second graph has a very jerky refresh rate (see attached file FIND SAD.vi).
If someone has a suggestion on a better way to structure the VI to solve these problems then that would be a great help.
The second version also has the problem that the VI doesnt stop when the 'Back to main menu' button is pressed, and I can't figure out why this is.
Many thanks,
Ian

Thanks Tom,
I've attached it along with the subVI it uses as well
Cheers,
