Graphics display problems (dialog boxes) Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1

Graphics display problems Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1 Greetings to all. After having spent a number of days trying to find a solution to a display problem, I turn to this forum for help. I own a Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1 ever since November 2014, and have had display problems ever since the first day, be it while using internet (Firefox or Explorer) or various software (Text editors, etc.). Many dialog boxes, including colour settings and controls (open, close etc.) either have an inappropriate appearance or even do not appear at all! I manage to "click" on the right places using memory: most areas are INVISIBLE! Another example would be that I do not see any backround colour or image on most webpages such as this one).  Some suggestions included checking for graphics updates (but the drivers used were already up-to-date).  I 'd be most obliged for any new suggestions. Thank you very much. George

Greetings to all, I finally decided to express my utmost discontent with- the Lenovo G50-45 I bought before Christmas 2014,- the summary response with inappropriate links that I received after exposing  my problem- the fact that I tried to dowload the following graphics driver  (Beema) AMD Driver (VGA, HDAudio, SATA) for Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
exe
526 MB
Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
VGA V14.502.1002.1002-Logo'd_HDAudio v9.0.0.9905_SATA v1.3.1.220;VGA v13.302.1601.1001_HDAudio v9.0.0.9905_SATA v1.3.1.220

  • Get graphics in a Dialog box

    Hello,
    I have an evoluating curve:
    To do this, I generate a channel, i open it in a report file and refresh it periodicaly during the process.
    I Would like to see the curve evolution and have buttons in the same time to act on the process.
    Is it possible to open a graphic in a Dialog box?
    Best Regards,
    fmanuel

    In this case the curve is compute, and then display as a picture on the dialog box
    I have a script which compute a channel in real time (add of points values one by one), and I would like to see the curve evolution in the Dialog box.
    Can I call my computation sub functions in the .VBS from a Button On_Events?
    More Generaly, when I use this:
    Call SUDDlgShow("Dlg1",MyFolders(1)&"dialogbox4.SUD",NULL)
    The .VBS Script stop running, can I launch it again without clothing the Dialogbox?
    And how much time is the script in the Dialogbox executed ( just one time when its open or is it a loop)?

  • Displaying a dialog box.

    I have to display a dialog box by using ADF faces. I am able to create a pop up, but need a dialog box in its place. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
    thanks.
    Minaz.

    Hi Minaz!
    The Dialog Framework creates a popup window. In that window you can add 'normal' jsf pages (with or without workflow). The advantage is, that you have direct access to the values that you have put into tze dialog form. See that article: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/howtos/adfdialog/index.html

  • Problem displaying my dialog box

    Hi everyone.
    I have a very annoying problem. I have a GUI frame that my application runs in. It implements a WindowListener interface and I override the windowClosing() method so when the window is closed I perform some memory clean up procedures.
    So I want to have a dialog box pop up when the window is closing which displays some information about what's going on while my closing procedures are being executed.
    The problem is that the dialog box appears, which I do by:
    shutdownDialog.setVisible(true);but it has nothing in it. No components at all. Now I used Netbeans to make the dialog box so I know they should be there.
    I even put the shutdownDialog.setVisible(true) into another part of my program and when the box pops up it has all the components like it should.
    Is there a reason why components of the dialog box don't show up when it's called from the windowClosing() method?
    Is there any other way I could accomplish that?

    If the components don't appear possible causes could be: they haven't been added to the dialog, they haven't been laid out within the dialog, they aren't being painted.
    Now I used Netbeans to make the dialog box so I know they should be there.It isn't my intention to stand between someone and their belief systems. But neither can I stand aside silent when I know that skepticism is more effective in tracking down bugs: abandon "they should be there" in favour of "they are not there" and try and figure out why.
    I don't know Netbeans, but the following is effective:
    import java.awt.Dimension;
    import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
    import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
    import java.awt.event.WindowListener;
    import javax.swing.JDialog;
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JLabel;
    import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

        private JFrame gui;
        public CloseEg() {
            gui = new JFrame("Close example");
            gui.setSize(new Dimension(300, 300));
            gui.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
            gui.addWindowListener(appCloser);
            shutdownDialog = new JDialog((JFrame)null);
            shutdownDialog.setUndecorated(true);
            shutdownDialog.add(new JLabel("Close down initiated.  Please be patient"));
            shutdownDialog.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            shutdownDialog.pack();
            gui.setVisible(true);
        private WindowListener appCloser = new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                shutdownDialog.setVisible(true);
                Thread closerThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        doCloseDown();
                closerThread.start();
        private JDialog shutdownDialog;
        private void doCloseDown() {
            try {
                Thread.sleep(5000);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            System.exit(0);
        public static void main(String args[]) {
            SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    new CloseEg();
    }If I don't pack() the dialog, I don't see it at all. If I try and do the closedown on the EDT - ie don't create a new thread for it - then the sleep() (or other lengthy operation) stops the dialog's components from being drawn.
    You will get better help more quickly in the [Swing forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=57]. Although having started here, you might as well continue.
    If nothing suggested by my code helps, you might like to post an example that can be compiled to illustrate the problem. (But teh Netbeans is a jealous god and sometimes makes that difficult;)

  • Displaying my dialog box????

    Hi am try to display a dialogue box after a user has entered a value between 1-9 in a text field and has hit enter. The purpose of this dialogue box is merely a flag so that i know it is going into my statement. Code
    textField = new TextField(20); // public declaration
    textField.addKeyListener(new KeyCatcher() );
    m_nShapesToDraw = 0;
    public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent evt)
    if ( evt.getItemSelectable() == m_oval ) {
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "U selected the oval radio button.");
    m_bSelectOval = true;
    public class KeyCatcher extends KeyAdapter
    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent evt){
    int temp = evt.getKeyCode();
    if(m_nShapesToDraw == 0)
    if(m_bSelectOval || m_bSelectSquare || m_bSelectTriangle)
    if(( temp >= KeyEvent . VK_0 ) && ( temp <= KeyEvent . VK_9 ) && (temp == KeyEvent . VK_ENTER) )
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "u hit enter.");
    When i run the above code i get the error message
    cannot find symbol showMessageDialoge(MainWindow.KeyCatcher,java.lang.String)
    The problem i am having is that when i try to insert the dialogu message code in my keyCatcher code i get that error. However, that code is the same exact code from the itemStatechanged method wich works. So my question is, y do i get this error even though it is taken from my itemstatched method and what must do to be able to display my message?? Thank

    Why are you using a JOptionPane it is a Swing component?
    All your other questions are relating to AWT components.
    Don't mix Swing and AWT components in the same application.
    If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE) that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
    And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its original formatting.

  • Displaying Where Dialog Box in Forms 10g at runtime

    hi all,
    In Forms 6i, I was able to display the Where Dialog box to define complex search conditions by entering <b>:variable_name</b> in a field.
    How can I do the same in Oracle 10g Forms at runtime?
    thanks in advance.

    Have you had a look at metalink note 370302.1?
    Symptoms Query/Where dialog does not come up when execute query on block entering '&' or ':' in a field.
    ChangesUpgrade to Forms 10.1.2.0.2 Cause In order to be more secure out of the box, a new parameter was introduced
    FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY to TRUE in default.env and this results in the query/where dialog not appearing.
    SolutionTo implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
    1. Edit $ORACLE_HOME/forms/server/default.env
    2. Comment the line as :

  • How to display a dialog box?

    I finally have my application accepting data through a form and posting to a MySQL database.
    Now, when a record has been successfully posted to the database I would like a dialog box to appear saying "Data saved in database...click OK to continue" and the user clicks on the OK button and goes back to the front back of the application.
    How can I make a dialog box appear, or what are the alternatives (if this is not possible).
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Typically you would name each object in your user interface (the name is not necessarily the same as the visible text in the button, but it might be).
    Then the name of the button is passed into the on clicked handler where you can deal with it how you like:
    on clicked theObject
      if name of theObject = "button1name" then
        -- code to display your dialog
      else if name of theObject = "button2name"
        -- user clicked a different button, so that code goes here
      end if
    end clicked
    You can extend this to run any actions based on the object that was clicked.

  • Does not print web page - 'save as' menu appears - unknown problem dialog box then appears. Only recently - does not happen in explorer??

    Try to print a webpage or selection therefrom.
    When 'file'- 'print' selected on Mozilla tabs, it does not work. The print menu appears but when 'print' clicked, the 'save as' menu box appears. When 'save as' is closed a dialog box appears saying 'unknown error while printing'. Cannot print webpage unless from a screensaver (ie whole screen). This has only happened recently (update maybe). Tried on Windows Explorer and all ok

  • Graphics Display Problem

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with my mac book pro (early 2008 series). Shortly after I start up the laptop, whether in windows or mac, the display gets messed up and thereafter, it hangs and dies. It's a bit hard to explain so I've attached two pictures to show you what i mean.

    I suspect theres a problem with the graphics card, though I was unable to replicate the error at the apple service center and their diagnostics showed that everything was working fine. Unfortunately, as soon as I got back home, the problem resurfaced again!
    Was wondering if anybody has had such problems before... I'm not so keen on going back to apple service center and pay another $120 for them to tell me there nothing wrong again when there clearly is. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It's really important that they actually see the problem at the Apple Store before they can do anything about it. See if you can observe the circumstances where you get this artifact so that you can stand a better chance of reproducing it at the Apple Store. Electronic problems can be intermittent, so it can be difficult to have them occur in front of the tech.
    Heat can often be a factor. Do you get the artifact mostly when the computer has been on a while and is nice and hot? Does it not occur as soon if the computer has been off for a while and is cool? It might be worth doing some observations so you can see what circumstances will trigger the video distortion. When it's actually happening, there will be a far greater chance that Apple's specific NVIDIA test will give the correct error code. If heat does turn out to be a factor, you might want to come in early and do some graphics intensive work on your computer in order to trigger the problem in front of the techs.
    Also, do you get the same thing on an external drive? If you do, it would point towards a problem with the graphics chip itself. If not, there could be a problem with the built in display rather than with the graphics chip.
    Good luck!

  • Motion graphics display problem

    Just finished a project with an opening and closing Motion (3) titles and a FCP movie in between. The movie looks ok but the Motion graphics are a little "liney' is this due to the way its been encoded?
    What the best procedure in this circumstance insofar as I created the opening and closing titles in Motion then exported as a QT movie then placed in the FCP timeline. Do I have to convert or encode out of Motion in a certain way or format that will not affect the final movie project when I export from FCP into Compressor?

    Yeah I converted to QT then placed in the timeline should I of done the .motn route is that where the problem is?
    Thanks
    Could be. But it also could be a number of other things. The design isn't one suited to your Home TV (btw is that a SD interlaced display). The hardware between your computer and the Home TV isn't up to the task. Some setting in Motion of FCP isn't set right.
    One thing that I have always done (for years when interlaced was about the only thing people watch stuff on) is to apply a very slight blur (I'll use a gaussian .5 to 1 depending on the font and size). This will knock down some ringing on the edges.

  • Graphics display problem need help.

    I have a class called "Window" that obviously sets up my window, I also have a class called "IconGen" that should generate an Icon. Both of the class codes are posted below but for some reason I cannot get the graphic to show up in the frame. Can anyone lend a helping hand??
    Window code:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Window extends JFrame{
         JPanel jp = new JPanel();
         public void setupJFrame(){
              setBackground(Color.gray);
              setSize(200,200);
              setVisible(true);
              addWindowListener     (new WindowAdapter(){
                   public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e){
                        System.exit(0);
         public void setupJPanel(){
         jp.setBackground(Color.white);
         getContentPane().add(jp);
         setVisible(true);}
         public static void main(String args[]){
              Window w = new Window();
              IconGen i = new IconGen();
              w.setupJFrame();
              w.setupJPanel();
         w.getContentPane().add(i);
    IconGen code:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.geom.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class IconGen extends JComponent{
    private     Color salmon = new Color(255,128,128);
    private     Polygon p = new Polygon();
    public Polygon IconGen(){
                   int[] x = {75,125,75,25};
                   int[] y = {25,75,125,75};
                   int pts = 4;
                   Polygon p = new Polygon(x,y,pts);
         return(p);
    public void paint(Graphics g){
                   super.paint(g);
                   g.setColor(salmon);
                   g.translate(15,15);
                   g.fillPolygon(p);
    }

    Hi the constructor of IconGen looks like a problem, and it should subclass JPanel not JComponent.
    Here's a working example:
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class TestFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame {
    /** Creates new form TestFrame */
    public TestFrame() {
    initComponents();
    this.getContentPane().add(new MyIcon());
    /** This method is called from within the constructor to
    * initialize the form.
    * WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is
    * always regenerated by the Form Editor.
    private void initComponents() {
    addWindowListener(new java.awt.event.WindowAdapter() {
    public void windowClosing(java.awt.event.WindowEvent evt) {
    exitForm(evt);
    pack();
    /** Exit the Application */
    private void exitForm(java.awt.event.WindowEvent evt) {
    System.exit(0);
    * @param args the command line arguments
    public static void main(String args[]) {
    new TestFrame().show();
    // Variables declaration - do not modify
    // End of variables declaration
    class MyIcon extends JPanel{
    Color salmon = new Color(255,128,128);
    int[] x = {75,125,75,25};
    int[] y = {25,75,125,75};
    int pts = 4;
    Polygon p = new Polygon(x,y,pts);
    public void paint(Graphics g){
    g.setColor(salmon);
    g.fillPolygon(p);

  • Graphics display problem after upgrade of HTML DB from 1.5 to 1.6

    I recently installed HTML DB version 1.5 from Companion CD and tested and everything seemed to work. I immediatley applied the 1.6 version upgrade but now no graphics are shown on the HTML DB ADMIN page. I checked the files from the upgrade $ORACLE_HOME/Patch/htmldb/images and the $ORACLE_HOME/CCD/marvel/images and verified the Alias in $ORACLE_HOME/CCD/Apache/modplsql/conf/marvel.conf. Do I need to look elsewhere for the images?

    If that's the case then they made a mistake. If there's not a specific forum for HTMLDB, you could try one of the database groups because I think it ships with the database.
