Freeware causing display issues

Hello all-
Having a strange issue. Downloaded some freeware from Disney yesterday for my son to play a Pirates of the Caribbean game. Since then my display is a bit funky. For example, if I click on an icon on desktop, a black box surrounds that icon. Another example is that this textbox where I am typing now has a thick black box outlining it. In other words, anyplace where I have focus has a box around it and this never happened in the many years using this machine. My guess is that it is the freeware from Disney that is the offender, as that is the only change and it happened immediately after he used it the first time.
I'm guessing that deleting the app from the machine will not undo what has been done, but not sure. Any advice on how to get my Mac back to where it was yesterday before I downloaded that software from Disney?
Regards-
Dave

Thank you so much. 6 years on the same machine and never even knew about that preference. I noticed that there is a shortcut for turning it on and off. My guess is that the freeware install didn't enable that preference, but that my 8 year old hit the hot keys to enable it while he was playing.
Thanks again Kappy. I thought I had some serious problems

  • Power outage caused display issue

    we had a power outage that shut off the computer. After unplugging it until the power came back on; we found that when we turned the computer on the display just showed several 4" squares across the screen. The computer seems to have functionality still, but you can't read anything on the screen, it's as if the screen resolution is 7 blocks by 5 on the 20" screen.

    Let's try to fix the other account.
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.

  • Updated to 10.4.10 - cause display issue?

    I just updated to 10.4.10 and now my text is blurry on my monitor.
    I have a 20' cinema display and this happened as soon as I restarted. Both the monitor and G5 were purchased 3+ years ago.
    I'm not nuts - I work on the box 8 hours a day - it's my personal computer I make my living from.
    Could the update have made the graphics card screw up? I really don't know too much about the technical side of things. Looking for suggestions.
    Thanks!

    You will need to reinstall from the disks that came with your computer, and then install the 10.4.9 update. No, you cannot revert.
    Yopu might try reinstalling 10.4.10, with a Combo version, first.

  • End User - ESS Timesheet Display Issue

    Hi All,
    Hopefully I have posted this in the correct forum. I tried to search of the issue I have for an end user but had no success, so I thought since my post graduate study surrounds ERP systems and work with SAP every day, I though it was best to register.
    Now the issue I have here is, when the user goes into their portal ESS to view their timesheets, the display is unsual. They do not have an option to manually go back to previous weeks and the view of their timesheet is 'squashed' in (Timesheet Entry View) but if you scroll across to the right where the date and 'go to' function is, it has been cut off. There are no issues with any other users so it appears to be a local issue
    Currently, I have reverted back to IE7, checked for any add on's that may cause display issues, I have checked their roles and everything is normal. The only issue I can see is some conflicting issues is with the Browser and SAP.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Edited by: A_Ali_ on Jul 19, 2011 1:05 AM

    Check the configuration setting for the profile that's being used by ESS. As this is where you can restrict user's ability to navigate forward and back from current week etc.
    Cheers,
    Brad

  • MacBook Pro Startup and Display Issues

    I've been having some random problems with my MacBook Pro (2.16 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 100 GB 7200 rpm hard drive, ATI Radeon X1600 graphics). Specifically:
    1. Lines across the screen and purple boxes sometimes appear.
    2. The graphic effects (e.g. zooming a window) sometimes get "frozen" on the screen. In other words a remnant from the animation will stay until the window is refreshed.
    3. The Mac sometimes freezes during the startup process. Sometimes the login screen will be unresponsive and other times the Mac will almost bootup but fail when loading startup items.
    4. Less frequently the Mac will freeze randomly. I previously had iStat Menus installed and each time the MacBook Pro froze up it indicated both read and write disk activities.
    Yesterday I decided to wipe the machine clean and start from scratch in case there were a software issue or corruption on the hard drive that was causing my woes. I completely erased my hard drive and even zeroed the entire disk to make sure everything was completely wiped out. I also disconnected all peripherals to simplify things as much as possible.
    The first time I tried the reinstall everything completed successfully but the "Welcome" movie froze part way through. I then had problems running the install again. I was able to boot off the Leopard DVD, but the machine froze a couple of clicks into the install procedure. After numerous tries I was able to erase the hard drive once again and install Leopard. This completed successfully and I installed all updates.
    The problems started to show up again almost immediately, however. I installed iLife and iWork and all the updates and had the computer freeze up on me again during a reboot. I also noticed that the display issues started to show up again even before installing any third-party software.
    I've tried running disk tests with Drive Genius 2.1, but no errors have been reported. I've also used the freeware Rember program to run memory tests but have yet to see any errors. Sometimes my Mac powers up without any problems and once it's powered up it often stays running for days. The display issues appear quite frequently. I've using iStat Menus to keep an eye on the temperature sensors and everything appears to be normal - so it doesn't appear to be temperature related.
    Fortunately the computer's still covered under the extended AppleCare warranty, but I would like to have some idea what's going on before I take it in just in case they're not able to reproduce the issues.
    Any suggestions and insights would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance for reading my rather long-winded message.
    Cheers,
    Tim

    I took my MacBook Pro in for repair and it turned out to be an issue with the logic board. I had the logic board replaced (fortunately it was covered under my extended AppleCare warranty) and these problems are a thing of the past.

  • Display Issues with mini (Mid 2010) and LG L246WP

    I recently purchased a new mini (Mid 2010 base model) and planned to use it with my 24" LG L246WP monitor, which is about 3 years old. The monitor has VGA, component, and HDMI inputs.
    I used an HDMI-to-HDMI cable to connect the mini directly to the monitor, and the output is completely messed up. The mini recognized the monitor (titling the System Preferences > Display dialog with 'L246WP') and set it to the monitor's native resolution of 1920x1200, but on the monitor the image is cropped to what looks like a 4:3 aspect ratio and with part of the image shifted up and left so I cannot view the top menu bar or the left hand side of the desktop. The monitor's on-screen display shows 1080p in this mode.
    The Display dialog also gives me an option for 1080p. I can select this and use the Underscan slider to resize the desktop output to fit on the screen, but it is still shifted left and must be resized smaller than the available display space (plus the total image is only 1080 pixels, not using the monitor's full native screen). In this mode, 1080p also shows on the monitor's on-screen display.
    I tried 1024x768 to see if I could get a properly-positioned image, but the desktop was shifted just like in the 1920x1200 case and the monitor's on-screen display status still reported 1080p.
    The monitor has a menu setting under an HDMI heading with "Video" and "PC" options, but changing this selection does not make a difference.
    Since the monitor came out before HDMI was as widespread as it is today, it came with a DVI-to-HDMI cable, so I also tried using that cable with the HDMI-to-DVI adapter that came with the mini, but this did not make a difference either.
    To prove it wasn't the HDMI cable, I connected the mini to my Samsung 6300 series 40" LED HDTV and with some tweaking of the Underscan slider the displayed image filled the screen perfectly.
    I've searched the Internet and various forum threads (i.e. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1167222&page=63) seem to indicate this monitor can send a corrupted EDID that causes issues, especially with nVidia graphics drivers. On Windows you can use registry or driver hacks to override the EDID with the correct values, but on OS X this doesn't seem possible (I was hoping for a Terminal one-liner but it seems this doesn't exist). I have seen some mentions of the shareware SwitchResX (http://www.madrau.com), which looks like it gives you the option to override resolution settings, but I haven't tried this yet.
    It also appears to me that the monitor is always interpreting the signal (or the mini is always sending the signal) as 1080p, even if I've set 1920x1200 in the Display dialog. I don't know if this is a defect in the monitor where it always assumes the HDMI input is a 1080p source (previous I used it with an Xbox 360 with no issues but that was 1080p HDMI), or if is a bug in the graphics drivers (or at least a lack of flexibility / miscommunication to the user trying to handle a corrupt EDID).
    I asked my local Genius Bar for advice today (without bringing any hardware in) but was not told anything I didn't already know.
    I'm trying to determine the best way to work through this issue. *My questions are:*
    Would it make any difference if I used a Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter (and then my DVI-to-HDMI cable to the monitor's HDMI input)?
    What about a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter? In the past I used a 12" Powerbook (via a mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter) with this monitor and had no display issues like this, but I'd prefer to stick with a digital connection on my brand new mini.
    Is SwitchResX the only practical way in OS X to override a corrupt EDID and force the mini to output a certain resolution?
    Besides the various adapters and SwitchResX, is there anything else I should try before buying a new monitor?

    Hello EPWilson4984.
    I have been experiencing the same issues you described. Connecting my brand new Mac Mini to my Westinghouse 24”monitor (L2410NM,  1920x1200 pixel resolution) produces a very fuzzy and washed out image quality. The Mac recognizes the monitor and applies the right resolution (1920x1200), but it looks just awful. The EDID info is definitely not right.
    Now, I tried your suggestion (DVI-to-HDMI), and similar suggestions from other threads, but nothing works. Nothing seems to work at all.
    The main input for the monitor is HDMI, so whatever cable I use, in the end always has to connect to the monitor via HDMI. I tried all these combinations with zero success:
    Mac mini -> HDMI cable -> monitor (result: fuzzy and blurry image)
    Mac mini -> displayport –HDMI adapter-> HDMI cable -> monitor (result: fuzzy and blurry image)
    Mac mini  -> displayport –DVI adapter-> DVI-to-HDMI cable -> monitor (result: it gives me a blank screen, no image at all)
    I’m running out of options. Don’t know what to do. The 24” monitor produces beautiful, crisp images when hooked to my Windows 7 PC. It looks horrible when connected to my brand new Mac Mini.
    Any alternatives you may have come across? Please let me know, thank you.

  • Repeated iMac Problems, Display Issues now Kernel Panics

    I’m lost on what’s wrong with my 2008 iMac and I think I just have to bring it back into Apple for a third time to have it repaired. But something is obviously not working that is causing these issues.
    About a month ago, my computer began showing heavy pixilation, flickering images and the on-screen graphics. The computer appeared to keep working in the background from what I could tell so I came to conclusion that it must be the graphics card that’s failing and I’ll need to have it looked at.
    My 2008 iMac was custom-built by Apple with the Nvidia GeForce 8800GS that was offered as an upgrade option. There have been several posts on the display and graphics discussion board about that graphics card along with other postings other places about the problems the Nvidia GeForce 8-series had.
    The display problems I mention above would not happen immediately, it would happen as the computer warmed up and was used for 3-5 minutes.
    Anyway I brought my computer into Apple explained to them what I believed was the problem and the Apple Store technician agreed with me. Because I did not purchase AppleCare, it cost me $400 and a week without my iMac to have that card replaced.
    I got the computer back two weeks ago and everything seemed fine. It was working as it always had. I even was running SMC Fan Control in order to keep the computer as cool as I could (the Nvidia problem was related to overheating).
    But this morning, this is what I woke up to:
    http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/7436/photoijr.jpg
    The computer now has a semi-permanent pixilation when it starts up (as suppose to the pixilation 3-5 minutes into use). But more worrisome now is I cannot start up the computer without it going into a kernel panic. I tried resetting the PRAM, I tried starting in safe mode. The only thing I haven’t tried yet is booting from an external HD which I will try this evening (to hopefully isolate it if it’s hardware or a software problem).
    The Apple Hardware Test has been unhelpful. When it originally failed three weeks ago, the test showed nothing and this morning when I ran it (permanent pixilation and all), it showed nothing. I feel like if it was a software issue the pixilation would have disappeared during the hardware test because that’s not an OS-X based program.
    Here are my specs on this computer:
    2008 iMac 24" 2.8ghz Intel Core Duo, 4 gigs of RAM (Crucial Purchased, I have original sticks somewhere), 1 TB HD, Nvidia GeForce 8800GS.

    Hi, just to update you, I came home today and did a few things that didn't seem to solve my Mac's problems:
    - I booted up from my firewire "safe" drive that I keep a copy os x on to see if I had a corrupted hard drive or something. It booted into the kernel panic I described above.
    - I also swapped out the crucial RAM for Apple's factory RAM. It also booted into the Kernel Panic.
    In both incidents, the display issues didn't go away. Now instead of pixelization i have vertical bars running in a pattern across my screen.
    I'm currently trying to boot onto the OS X CD at this point to see if I could do a reinstall. It's taking quite awhile to boot into that.
    With that in mind, I think we're still having graphics card issues or more seriously some logic board problem.

  • Bizarre & Random Dashboards Display Issues/Errors

    Hello,
    I am on BI 4.1 SP04 and these dashboards were developed using an equivalent level on the client tool. (4.1 SP04)
    Sometimes we get very strange and often random display issues with our dashboards. I have attached screen shots for examples. Sometime we are missing data points from rendering on the charts, other times a line chart will extend into a bar chart.  Has anyone experienced this or have any idea what could cause this? It is very frustrating...
    Thanks for looking,
    Gary
    Missing data points on yellow line, yet line rendering with proper data (other wise would have 0's in places, etc)
    Green line missing dot on last end point
    In this example there are no dots on the yellow line or green line
    In this example the blue line has turned into massive columns extending across the charts

    This patch should resolve the issue in the last screenshot. I still face the other issues after upgrading to SP3 Patch 4. The dots in line chart take some time to appear. Also, if we use dynamic visibility, the components taking considerable time to appear sometimes. I hope this will also be fixed in later patches. Please share your experience too after applying the patch.

  • Pixelated enlarged screen - display issues related to external hard drive

    Hi.  I had an external hard drive plugged into my macbook.  I have a second monitor hooked up.  My screen is pixelated and enlarged (I have to scroll to see the whole desktop).  The icons are rearranged and very blurry. Everything is blurry and enlarged.  My files will open, but they are all blurry as well.  When I noticed these display issues, I realized the mac was not detecting the hard drive that was plugged into the usb port. I  unplugged it and then a LOT of folders with the hard drive name appeared on the desktop and then disappeared.  I know I may have misstepped by unplugging it, but what can I do now?  I have rebooted, shut down, checked zoom and screen resolution settings, and unplugged the monitor.  It's the same when I uplug the second monitor and just view my desktop on the mac.  Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

    There is a multitude of posts here addressing the dangers of using Mackeeper. But just look at this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691
    While this particular problem may not have been caused by Mackeeper, I urge you to uninstall this piece of trash.

  • Display issues in XP with Firefox

    I just installed Firefox browser to an old XP machine. I am having display issues: sideways lines and "double vision" even on the home page. I know I have an old video card. That has caused sideways lines in videos before. This is a computer my husband uses and loves! I know its a dinosaur. Besides videos in kids programs, I never have had any display problems just browsing the web. And I can watch YouTube videos just fine in my other browsers.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    If there are problems with Flash then you can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

    type="text/css"
    href="file:///C|/Users/Owner/Documents/Laura/Clover Concepts/an-ocean-of-sky/
    an-ocean-of-sky/anoceanofsky.css" />
    and it should be
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"href="anoceanofsky.css" />
    That is if your css is in your root folder...if you have your css in a
    folder called "an-ocean-of-sky", then your link should be:

  • CS4 - Layers Display Issue and more

    I am running XP64 and have CS4-32 and CS4-64bit installed (using the updated and correct master collection installer)
    CS4-32 is basically unusable to me because I cannot see what I am doing as changes are being made to layers. It does it does not display updates to a layer on the screen until I click on the photo. For example, I have a psd file with a background layer and a Gaussian blur layer. A layer mask was used to mask out portions of the blur. IF I simply click the eyeball off on the blur layer, I see no changes to the photo until I click inside the photo. Disabling/enabling the layer mask as the same issue.
    If I use the brush tool to make adjustments to the mask, I can no longer see the mask in the layers pallet. The mask is displayed as tiny black and white dots and has no representation of my actual mask. As I brush changes onto the mask, I can see the effects in real time on the photo. But I still cannot see the normal B&W representation of the mask in the layers pallet. If I use the brush tool on the blur layer (not the mask), the photographic thumbnail representation normally displayed in the layer's palette also turns into displaying tiny black and white dots.
    b What is causing this issue? Is it a setting that I can change or a bug?
    The above issue(s) do NOT happen with CS4-XP64.
    Upon startup in CS4-64, I get a GPU disabled message. in CS4-32, I do not. But in CS4-32, my CPU settings are dimmed out and openGL is NOT checked. I have the latest drivers for my video cards installed. In CS3, enable 3D acceleration is checked. IN AE CS3 and AE CS4, it lists that my openGL is 2.1.2 and all features of AE are supported. What open-GL version does PS-CS4 need?

    Who was asking for sympathy? I was only asking for help, which a few people were kind enough to provide. I see no reason for people to make posts on other people's threads that do not offer any help. If you think that I am stupid for using an unsupported OS, then just don't post and keep those feelings to yourself. How are posts like this constructive? I even stated in my last post that I knew that I was not going to get any help from Adobe. So why reiterate that? What is the purpose of your and these types of posts? I am as baffled by them as you apparently are about why I am using XP64.
    But if you must know why I do not go to another OS, it is because back when I built this computer, XP64 was the only 64 bit OS around. I have this computer in a dual boot with XP PRo 32 bit and XP64. XP64 has, up to this point, been the most stable platform for me to run the adobe suite of products on. I can clearly say this since I have installed (and since deactivated) them on the same hardware under the XP32 boot. But XP64 has, again, been very stable. I have had many iterations of Adobe software on everything from Win 200 to several on XP and on Vista. And without a doubt this XP64 machine has been the most stable for what I do.
    The other reason why I continue to use XP64 is because I cannot upgrade to Vista 64 without a totally new computer. The MB drivers have not been developed for Vista.
    And lastly, 64 bit allows me to run more programs at once by utilizing more total memory, even with 32 bit applications. I could install the suite on my XP32 version of the same machine but I'd rather continue to use XP64 with CS3 than not having the stability and ability of running more applications simultaneously that I can with XP64.
    So yea, my living depends on my software working correctly too and PS CS3 will work just as well today as it worked before I installed CS4. It is just not worth it for me to spend thousands of dollars on a new PC just so that I have say that my computer is run under a supported OS. As we have seen here, a supported OS is not a guarantee that the software does not have bugs in it. This issue will not affect my ability to make a living. It is only a minor inconvenience that will undoubtedly be fixed in time.

  • Display issue: green, flashing pixels, low resolution on my new MBP 17"

    I just bought my MacBook Pro 17" on December 2010 from Authorized Reseller in Dublin.
    After couple of days for the first time and now every 2-3 days my MBP's display goes suddenly pixleated with green, shiny pixels and all display appears like low resolution. After closing the lid and opening it again the problem disappears. During that display problem my computer has no issue with performance like: video playing, opening and closing applications, rebooting, etc. Here are some screen shots made by my photo camera during this display issue: http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/809/dsc03872j.jpg http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/6670/dsc03879x.jpg http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/7914/dsc03885z.jpg http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/3830/dsc03881g.jpg
    I should mention that I also made a screen shot with Shiftcmd3 combination of keys during this display issue and it appears, as you can see http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/8618/screenshot20110123at204.png as it should be - sharp and clear. One of my friend said that maybe I should reinstall operating system, but my guess is that it isn't software (Snow Leopard) issue. By the way, I have all the latest updates.
    Please, can you tell me what is the problem, what is causing it and what should I do?
    Thank you.

    Ok, guys, I should update my main post about screen issues on my MacBook Pro 17" 2010 model, because it was quiet a big issue. It was actually problem not with display panel (which was completely replaced and which didn't resolved that screen issue at all) but with motherboard which has been replaced (by Mactivate).
    After almost 3 months I can say that the computer had no issues since the repair: no screen issues, no noisy running vents.
    I must say I am happy with repair made by Mactivate (actually one of few repair services authorized and recommended by Apple). They arranged the pick up with their own currier with no charge, great communication and most of all - they did everything to resolve this quiet unusual issue with my display.
    I really and honestly can recommend Mactivate to anyone in Ireland.

  • Macbook Pro Early 2011 Display issue

    Hi all,
    After reading the replacement program that has been extended to MBP for 15" and 17", is there going to be any news with regards to the 13"?
    The reason why I'm asking is that while I'm not sure if mine is an isolated issue or widespread/common occurrence, I have had my logic board replaced last year due to a display issue, and currently still unable to run external display, despite reading up on discussion that is going on.
    The symptoms mirror that of the 15"/17", just that the 13" does not have a dedicated GPU.
    Hope to get more suggestions/ solutions/ news to potential replacement program from here.
    Thanks all!
    Regards,
    Ziang

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Early 2011 15 and 17-inch MacBooks Pro have had several GPU issues that causes graphic corruption, and it was an issue that showed in most MacBooks Pro. However, this does not apply to the 13-inch MacBook Pro, so I think it is just an issue that has appeared on your Mac but there is not a reason for a replacement program.

  • Any ideas why I would be having this display issue on just one page on my website?

    Firstly, the webpage URL that is in question is http://crawford3d.businesscatalyst.com/maya-models.html.
    The issue arises only when I publish the site and this is my second attempt to fix the issue. The first page was created with anchors that pointed to 7 embedded videos from youtube. The problem was similar where the page was sliced and the location of the videos where changed. I'm using the same master page for this page that I'm using for the other pages, so I'm thinking it is something to do with just that one page. My attempt at a fix was as follows: I used a composition lightbox to embed the videos so I could just click on the thumbnail to view the videos individually: however, the problem must not be with the method I'm using because I'm getting the same sliced display on the page. As you can see on the page a preview of the videos are also being displayed which is not supposed to happen when using a "lightbox". Please Help!!  Thanks

    Hi MrCrawford3D,
    In one of your embedded Youtube videos HTML, you have a number of closing <div> tags, and a closing <body> tag. That will be causing the display issues you are seeing. Might just be a copy/paste issue, but removing those should fix your problem.
    Hope that helps,
    Andrew
