Get rid of on-screen volume display dv7

Hi, I have a dv7-4280us laptop, and I want to know if there's a way to remove the little notice that appears when you turn the volume up or down.
(this thing: http://img853.imageshack.us/i/volume.png/)
While it's useful, I play a lot of games, most of which run in full screen mode. When you try to turn the volume up or down, it returns to the desktop, and usually won't let you go back into the game (depends on the game, but a good amount of my games do this). So I was wondering if there's anyway to get rid of this, because while it's nice, I don't really need it or want it. I couldn't find any settings anywhere to turn it off, so can someone help?
This question was solved.

Hi,
From windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features and uninstall HP MediaSmart Smart Menu. When this has completed, restart the notebook.
As an alternative which won't lock out the primary display and return you to the Desktop, try the application on the link below.

Trying to install VM Server and not getting the CD found screen to display

Trying to install Oracle VM Server from a CDROM:
1.     Insert the Oracle VM Server CDROM into your CDROM drive.
2.     Boot the computer with the Oracle VM Server CDROM.
3.     The Oracle VM Server screen is displayed.
All that went fine but not getting the CD found screen to display. Instead it says the device wasn't found and shows a list of drivers, none of which seem to match the CD drive. Anyone have any ideas? There is an option to point it to a driver disk, not sure if I need to get the driver from somewhere and do that or not?
machine is Dell Optiplex 760
CD RW\DVD RW drive

Try changing the SATA mode in the BIOS to AHCI.

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Getting Rid of Welcome Screen

Hi,
I'm running PSE8 and PSE9 onmy home computer which, for a while, is not connected to the internet. I keep getting a screen thqat asks for my Adobe ID, or to sign up for an Adobe ID. I can bypass the screeen by clicking on an associated image file to load, but that's not always the best option. Is there a way to bypass that screen when loading Elements by clicking on the desktop icon? Thanks!

I thought that's what I'd done, but I'll check to be sure when I get home. In fact, now that I think of it, I let the program set the desktop icons when loading it from the CD, so you're probably right. When I set file associations, I did use the EXE files.
Thanks!

Go into the program files and find the actual .exe files for the editor and the organizer. Right click and make desktop shortcut(s). From now on, launch PSE that way instead of using the welcome screen.

Qosmio G20: How to get rid of large, green on-screen volume display?

Hi,
I have a Qosmio G20 which i bought in Japan last year and have since changed it over to English operating system and drivers. However one thing ive noticed that is different from the Japanese set up is that everytime i adjust the Volume level using the wheel on the right hand side of the laptop, a large green Volume level display comes up on the screen. I want to get rid of this cos it takes up nearly half of the screen. The Japanese version didnt have this problem.
I checked all the settings in Control Panel and various Properties sections as well but couldnt find anything.
Any suggestions how to remove it? Any other Qosmio users have this on their screen?
Thanks.

OK, here's how the volume bar works in all Media Center (2004-2005) and how to change it :
Create a .txt file with the following :
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Media Center\VolumeDisplay]
"Disable"=dword:00000000
"FontSize"=dword:00000024
"Color"=dword:00ffffff
"Timeout"=dword:000003e8
Don't include the --------
Now here are what the settings do:
Disable: (enable or disable the volume bar)
- 00000000 (bar is shown)
- 00000001 (bar is hidden)
FontSize: (decide the font sized used to display the word "volume")
- 00000024 is font size 36 (it's hexadecimal value), for exemple 00000014 is fontsize 20, etc..
Color: (the color of the control bar and of the word "volume")
00ffffff corresponds to white, 00000000 corresponds to black. also hexadecimal.
If you want an easy way to find out, just check the color you want in HTML:
If HTML is #00AAFF for exemple, then you need to put value 00FFAA00, or for HTML #556677, the value will be 00776655
Timeout: (it represent the duration of displaying the volume bar)
000003e8 corrsponds to 1000 ms = 1 seconde. For exemple, 1,5 second is 000005dc, or 2 second is 000007d0
So replace accordingly the above with the value that you like, save as "bar.reg" then double click on it and reboot the PC!
Enjoy, it was quite a hassle to find those keys because they don't exist initially! (and because for each try, I must reboot.. :/ )
Later,
Alcahest
ps: it works on ALL Qosmio machines ;)

How do I get rid of the album cover display?

I don't know how it happened, but my iPod only displays album covers when it plays music (instead of showing song title, artist, volume etc.). Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this setting so it displays the normal information when playing music? Thanks!!

Can't get rid of old screen name in iChat

when I first got my iMac a couple years ago, I was experimenting with the apps, including iChat. In iChat, I setup an account using a screen name that I no longer want to use, but when I try logging into iChat using the AIM account with the screen name I want, the "user name" that shows up in iChat is the first one I used when I was experimenting for the first time with iChat.
How do I get rid of this old, unwanted screen name? I tried clicking on the minus sign in the list of users to delete the account and tried signing up for a new iChat account using my AIM screen name/password; neither worked (when I tried logging in with my AIM info and clicking on the button to set up a new iChat account, I got sent to the AIM web site that wanted me to input all my info again then sent me to the site to download AIM - which I already have.) I could find nothing in the iChat preferences other than the minus sign I referred to but that won't allow me to definitively delete the unwanted screen name/handle.
Is there some place I can find the iChat preferences in the system folder, maybe, and delete them so next time I start iChat a new, blank set of preferences will be opened that will allow me to set the username I want? If this will work, where is this file located?
Thanks.
P.S. I got Skype recently to try, but like some of the features in iChat so would rather use iChat if I can get it to use the name I want and have with AIM.

Hi,
Pic first
Handle = Screen Name.
Name = Your Details as per your My Card (Head and Shoulders iCon) in the Address Book - Or the User that is Logged in to the Mac.
Each Buddy List will show the same Name but a different Handle based on the Screen Name for that Buddy List.
If you only have one Buddy List (other than the Bonjour One) and you Delete it then the Buddy List Disappears - Problem Solved. (Presumably you are re-adding a New Screen Name ?)
Pic of the Minus Button I am talking about.
Multiple Buddy List are created by adding more then One Screen Name to the Accounts List (Previous Pic)
I am a little confused where you were when you did this:-
I tried clicking on the minus sign in the list of users to delete the account and tried signing up for a new iChat account using my AIM screen name/password;
"List of Users" sounds like you were in System Preferences > Accounts.
You can "Delete" an Account here. It is not actually removed from the Users Folder (Hard Drive/Users) but is locked in a way that no-one has access and they are Removed from the Login Screen when the Mac Starts Up.
DO NOT DELETE ANY CLOSED ACCOUNT FOLDER In the Users Folder.
But if you use the same Screen Name in another Mac User Account the same Handle will appear.
You will see my GoogleTalk Account is headed "GoogleTalk" and my AIM Account as "Main AIM Account" These are set in the Description field in the iChat > Preferences > Accounts.
The Default if you have one account that logs into AIM is for it to read "AIM Buddy List"
Similar for one Jabber Account.
With more accounts of any one type they take on the info in the Description Field - which itself by default is the Screen Name.
Are you trying to create a New Mac User Account and use the same AIM Screen Name there ?
Are you trying to just change AIM Screen Names ?

Not possible to get rid of Welcome Screen

In 309 we wish to get rid of the Welcome Screen and go straight to the login screen. In 307 we did this by making the Welcome Screen not accessible to public users. If we try doing that in 309 the Sign On Screen comes up fine, but once the user has logged on it takes them to the Welcome Screen.
I have tried setting the default homepage of the public user to something else but this then takes all users to this page even though their home page is set to something else. This happens on a fresh install of 309.
This has been preventing us from upgrading from 307, we have been trying since 308 came out. I have seen other posts regarding the same issue (some from ourselves) but no-one has come up with a solution.
Oracle Support have reproduced this, and it is logged as bug 1953926, so if anyone else is getting this problem please raise with support that you are getting it and hopefully we will get a response.
If anyone on the Portal Development side could look at this I would appreciate it (I have this issue logged as tar 48199.999)
Cheers,
Patrick

You can do it by putting login portlet provided by Oracle Portal
on your welcome page and customize the welcome page. The single-
sign on login page will never come up after you login from
welcome page. I am not sure if it still works with customized
login portlet.

How to get rid of full screens that won't go away.

I was using my MacBook Pro with my tv through HDMI. I made a window full screen on my tv ( I was using Blender 3D software and the window on the tv was the same application I had on my screen). When I unplugged the HDMI the full screen window on my tv went onto my MacBook. The problem is that the window from the tv is now full screen on my computer, and there are no options in the tool bar to minimize it. When ever I open this file that window pops up along with the window that was on my screen. It creates lag and I need to get rid of it. I need this file. Please help!

There are 3 ways to exit a fullscreen app:
Escape key
Command+Control+F
Hover the cursor at the top of the screen until the menu bar drops down then clcik the Arrow icon on the top right.
Have you tried plugging it back into the TV?

Can't get rid of Login Screen

I recently deleted my guest account (guest moved out, don't need it anymore). I cannot get rid of the login screen for admin (me!) though. Each time I start my iMac, it asks me for a password, even though I deleted the password. I can get in by simply hitting enter, but I'd like to get rid of the login altogether.
Can anybody help?

Hello Brooks.
1. Open System Preferences and click Accounts.
2. If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password.
3. Click Login Options.
4. Select the way you want users to log in (a list of users or a dialog asking for their name and password).
5. Select "Automatically log in as" if you want the computer to log one user in automatically each time it starts up. Then choose the user from the pop-up menu and enter the user's password when prompted.
If you turn automatic login on for yourself, the computer opens your account when it starts up. If you log out, other users see a login window to log into their user accounts.
Each time I start my iMac, it asks me for a password,
even though I deleted the password. I can get in by
simply hitting enter, but I'd like to get rid of the
login altogether.
IMPORTANT: Be very careful when setting up automatic login. If you turn on automatic login for yourself, another user can restart the computer and have instant access to your user account when the computer starts up again.
I don't recommend deleting or getting rid of your login password and simply hitting enter to login. I'm the only user of my Mac and I've disable automatic login for my account to prevent a guest or anyone else from accessing all of my data in my Home directory by simply turning on the computer.
