HP Probook 4540s Moving horizontal lines

I haven't had this lovely laptop for more than a year and I have only one issue with it. Whenever I am in something that is full screen and I ALT+TAB out of it, these lines appear. They are horizontal and move up and down, distorting the screen for about 30 seconds, making it nearly impossible to see anything in the background. I tried installing the new graphics drivers and BIOS driver, but I cannot think of anything more myself.

  • Horizontal Line When Image is Moving

    Hey Guys,
    Just burned a DVD from iDVD and the thatre are horizontal lines distort the image when there's movement. What's the problem? Thanks so much for any help.
    Jennifer

    Without seeing it the exact reason is hard to diagnose.
    It could be caused my interlacing artifacts which can be cured in FCE with the Deinterlace Filter.
    However, you have to spot the problem while you are editing and the only way you can do that is to have a TV connected to your Mac, as a normal computer screen does not show these problems.

  • Horizontal Lines while Capturing video in Premiere Elements 12

    Problem:
    I have a Sony DCR-TRV80 where video is captured on Mini DV tape. It connects to my PC via FireWire. PC has i7 CPU, Win 7 64bit. 8gig ram, raid 0 hard disks, nvidia video card. Lots of hard disk space.
    When I capture video, as it is captured, I get horizontal lines whenever there is motion (either a subject is moving OR the camera is moving). This is seen in the capture window of Premiere Elements 12
    The Project Settings:
    I have tried several but the one that does not give me a warning is DV Standard 48khz & DV Widescreen 48khz. Both setting details show them as being interlaced (frame rate of 29.97 & size of 720h 480v).
    Additionally, I have tried several other Project Settings and still get the same result.
    What I See:
    When I am capturing the video, I see the horizontal lines. When I output the image, I still get the horizontal lines (all seen on my PC).
    My goal:
    To capture my videos and have them at high quality so I can edit them to show on my TV to the family. I also would like to be able to see them on the PC without the annoying (and dizzying) horizontal lines.
    Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

    I looked at the manuals, etc. from Sony and could not find out much about the output of the camcorder. So best I can tell from your posts, the  Sony DCR-TRV80/ Mini DV tape is interlaced natively.
    I then did an output to a DVD and played it on my TV/DVD and no interlacing (actually minimal) was apartment.
    I was unable to output to YouTube since it would only do it if it also uploaded the video to YouTube which I did not want to do.
    So I outputted to AVCHD which seemed to be progressive output. The horizontal lines were definitely much less but still noticeable especially if I make the player larger.
    I am just struggling with what I thought as high quality camcorder and prosumer program that I can not see it nicely on the computer or at something a bit larger than a tiny thing.
    What can I try to check into this? I am glad to do whatever it takes on my end to learn or correct what I am doing.

  • Thin black horizontal lines on 24" iMac screen/transparent dock icons

    I have a 24" 3.06 GHz iMac (purchased in August 2008) and noticed after about a half hour of running basic programs (Mail, iTunes, Firefox) I start to get horizontal lines near the top and bottom of my screen. Then if I watch a full screen video I can see my dock icons look almost transparent through the video. I took my iMac into the Apple store last month and told them about it and they kept it for 3 days and ran their "tests" and stressed the computer out to get it to do it for them but they couldn't replicate the problem. They suggested that it might be my cordless phone is too close to the screen and the frequency of the cordless phone could be causing the problem but I tried moving the phone and it still does it. When the display is off for hours and I turn it back on the lines are not there, but once I have it on for a half hour they come back and don't go away until I power off or sleep the display. I've attached a few pics of what I'm experiencing. Thank you very much.

    Since the Apple Store folks could not replicate the problem, you may want to consider a cause that is part of your particular environment.
    For example, if you use a power strip (surge suppressor), what else is connected to the same power strip? Is it possible that you may have too many power-hungry devices connected to the same single wall outlet, and the iMac is not getting sufficient power? Or maybe it's some electrical interference with another device on the same circuit? As a test, try disconnecting everything else, and see if the problem recurs, or connect the iMac directly to a wall outlet by itself to see if the problem recurs.
    Try moving the iMac to a different location in your home and running it to see if the problem recurs.

  • Horizontal Lines on Exported Video

    I have a problem where the video I export displays strange horizontal lines on moving objects.  Let me expand.  My source video is shot on a Sony HDV device generating clips of 1440x1080i 1.333 ratio with 25fps.  The video is displayed fine within PE9 and any exported video as M2T at 1440 x1080 (H.264 preset) also displays fine.  However, I also wish to create Windows Media (WMV) exports but the exported video is subject to horizontal banding.  I have tried various settings including modifying the preset HD 720p 25 to including interlaced processing and manually setting aspect ratios but the same thing happens.  This also happens with the AVI preset.
    As suggested by the help I also adjusted the clip settings before export to include "reverse field dominance" and "Interlace consecutive frames" but that made things worse.
    I'm sure this will have something to do with interlacing settings somewhere.  Can anyone help?  An example of the video is below:

    @ Steve - to answer your questions:
    Yes, HDV tape, shot on a Sony HDR HR1CE on Sony HDV tape
    Yes, project settings set exactly the same as the source format - PAL | HDV | HDV 1080i 25
    Yes, over firewire using PE9
    Imported clips are trimmed as required, inserted into project, a title added (from the templates), some video and audio transitions applied between clips and that's it really.  Haven't used any advanced settings.
    As I say looks fine (i.e no interlacing) in the preview and when exported as M2T H.264.  Interlacing occurs with other share presets.  I don't believe what I'm attempting should require me to use any 3rd party exporters or software as PE9 should have no problem.

  • Horizontal line issue -- some new thoughts

    Hello there.
    Regarding the horizontal lines / waves issue, has anyone else noticed that the intensity of the problem varies with the position on screen? The problem is especially visible in the upper left corner of my screen, yet is almost non-existent in the lower right corner. From the upper-left to the lower-right corner, the problem degrades. This is true for both the "lines" issue and the "waves" appearing.
    You can try yourself by setting your desktop background to "Tile" and using (part of) the Crankycat picture (you can download a cropped version at http://siteffects.be/maarten/powerbook.png).
    On my machine, the waves problem is very visible in the light-blue "Sources" area of iTunes (i.e. left part of iTunes, so coincidentally in the "worst" part of the screen). When moving the iTunes window to the right, the problem eventually disappears.
    On a sidenote, has anyone tried to use the Powerbook with Linux? I'm really wondering whether a completely different operating system would solve the problem. I've tried using Ubuntu live CD's (both stable version and new "Dapper" version), but they do not seem to work. In general, I have the impression that you need kernel 2.6.15, which is the only one supporting the latest Powerbook.

    Hi Sebastian,
    When using sRGB (not IEC61966-2.1), I do see what you observe, however it is not THAT apparent.
    Except. If I increase the contrast of the screen one notch (CTRLOption+Apple.), the heavy lines/wavy lines is very obvious. But if you increase contrast two notches they go away completely. Interestingly, on my dispaly, if you chose Generic RGB, and increase the contrast one notch, the whole orange panel shows heavy banding.
    You can reduce back the contrast with (CTRLoption+Apple,)
    Yes, the bottom right is less of a problem than the top left. But I can just about perceive the horizontal banding.
    The same cannot be said of the horizontal pixel lines in the lilac panel. These only disappear if I increase the contrast so much that the display looks terrible. (e.g. until the lilac become almost pure blue). And the problem is the same everywhere on the screen.

  • Confused about TM's 'grey' & 'purple' horizontal lines in timeline

    I have Lion OS 10.7
    Whenever I connect my LaCie external HD and click on TM, the Star Field timeline would show both Grey and Purple horizonal lines.
    Grey horizontal lines being TM's Snapshots
    Purple horizontal lines being my external HD
    I just downloaded software from the Apple and when I enter the Star Field, there are no grey horizontal lines.  If my LaCie is not connected, a pop up box says that my 'TM backup disk can't be found.'
    But, I have entered the Sar Field in the past without my LaCie connected and there used to show about a week of TM snapshots, all grey horizontal lines in the timeline.
    Has something changed?  Is TM snapshots still taking place when I am away from my external HD?  
    Thanks for your help,
    B.

    You're saying you select Enter Time Machine from the menu bar and nothing happens? If so, proceed as below.
    Please try each of the steps below that you haven't already taken.
    Step 1
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try again to enter Time Machine. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Step 2
    If you're backing up to an external hard drive attached to your Mac, open the backup volume in the Finder. You should see a folder with the name "Backups.backupdb". You should not see a file with a name ending in "sparsebundle". If you do see that, the backup was created over a network and can only be used that way.
    Step 3
    Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the backup drive in the pane on the left (not any of the volume icons below it.) At the bottom of the window, you should see this:
    Partition Map Scheme : GUID Partition Table
    If the partition scheme is anything else, the drive has to be repartitioned (with the loss of all data.)
    Step 4
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the Finder window open for now.
    Relaunch the Finder by selecting  ▹ Force Quit... from the menu bar, then selecting Finder and pressing return. Your Finder settings will be lost.
    Try again to enter Time Machine. If you still can't, put back the file you moved to the Desktop, replacing the newer one that will have been created in its place.
    Otherwise, close the Finder window you opened and delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Recreate your Finder preferences.
    Step 5
    Boot in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime. Try again to enter Time Machine.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.

  • Photoshop lighting effects puts horizontal line through image

    Apply filter > Lighting effects to an image (300 ppi RGB) and when photoshop renders the lighting, there is a horizontal line through the image. It is not a screen or video issue, it is in the image and has to be retouched out like corrupt image.
    not a transparency issue, tried different file formats, flattened image first, etc.
    WHY?
    Had this happen before, but now in Cloud V6 is really aggrevating. People have been posting about this for at least 3 versions with no answers.

    Moved from the Creative Cloud to the Photoshop forum. They will be able to help you here.

  • Moving vertical line looks weird

    I animated a vertical line moving horizontally. At slow horizontal speeds it looks fine, but at the speed I want it to move (about 600 pixels/second) the vertical line "breaks up" like a section of it is strobing. Changing the field order makes no difference.
    Either it's a limitation of computer displays (I've tried it on other systems) or I'm doing something wrong with the animation itself.
    You can DL the animation below. It's 640x480, 30 fps, MS MP4 encoded, and about 1 Mb.

    >If what you meant was that it requires more power for encoding (in a
    >reasonable time), that would make sense. Do I understand? Or am I still
    >confused.
    Yes, it uses a lot of resources for encoding, but also upon playback. The point here is that while it has low data rates, MPEG 4 uses a bunch of computationally intensive tricks. This can be any combination of variable GOP lengths to non-square, adaptive block sizes. If you will, because the files contain very little "real" pixel information, a lot of CPU (or graphics card) power is spent on reconstructing from the compressed info. You will not see this that much at low resolutions, but if you ever downloaded e.g. one of the HD-res QT clips from Apple, you could see a lot of processor activity while playing them. You can find some good info on MPEG encoding on forums like Doom9. There is also some tech blurb explaining the principles and differences between various implementations on the developer sites for TMPEG, XviD and SUPER©. Beyond that you can of course always check the official docs from the MPEG licensing group or organisations such as ITU, but that may go way beyond what you are trying to understand. In relation to the Adobe Media Encoder, the decisive factor is the GOP length. You may wish to shorten it from the default 15frames to something like 7. Be aware, though, that this will unavoidably increase average data rates, regardless how you set them. Also use VBR encoding, if you can and have the extra time. if you can#t get decent results from within AE, simply export uncompressed and use one of the tools I was mentioning.

  • Horizontal line fuzz at the edges of the monitor

    Greetings.
    I just moved. So my iMac was unplugged for, say, 3 days. I packed it in its original packaging and was very careful with it.
    When I plugged it back in, I noticed horizontal lines "fuzzing" the icons and the black border at screen-right. The fuzz began to spread, very much like mold, before I shut it off. Same thing at first restart. Changing resolutions had no effect.
    Other observations that may (or may not) be helpful for potential troubleshooters:
    1) The iMac is on a desk over a cable for cable tv. We haven't had the cable activated yet, but could it be causing some interference (at my previous residence, the iMac was nowhere near cable)? I haven't had the chance to plug in and power up anywhere else in my new apartment yet.
    2) When I first powered up, the radio in the room got all staticky. I turned that off.
    Thanks!

  • HP Probook 4540s Supports Seagate ST500LT012 mini HDD

    Hi,
    I would like to know if HP Probook 4540s supports mini(7mm) HDD. Recently I bought a seagate ST500LT012 HDD on an online portal and later found that this is a mini HDD and all laptops may not support mini HDDs.
    Thanks in advance...
    This question was solved.

    Hi:
    It should.
    It will just be thinner than a 9.5mm drive, but the caddy should work and the screw holes in the caddy should line up with the screw holes in the drive.

  • Horizontal lines with Mac Pro 1,1 and ATI Radio X1900XT

    I love my Mac Pro, I've had it since 2007. But recently, I have been having a video problem and I hope somebody here might have some advice or suggestions.
    _The Problem_
    Large horizontal lines going across the screen - especially when it is displaying quickly moving images. These horizontal lines move upward, as if trying to refresh the image. Examples: playing a video, scrolling down a webpage, rearranging windows.
    _My computer setup_
    I have a Mac Pro 1,1 with ATI radeon x1900 graphics card. I am using two displays, and experience the following problem on both displays. My displays are set up as follows:
    *Display 1:* Acer H234H, uses male DVI to male DVI connection
    *Display 2:* Panasonic TC-37LZ85, male DVI to male HDMI cord > HDMI coupler (i.e. 2 both sides female) > male HDMI to male HDMI cable
    Both are using 1920x1080 screen resolution.
    I don't think this is an issue with either of the individual monitors for 2 reasons:
    (1) both of them do it
    (2) the Acer has a very fast response time (2 ms) yet it also has the problem.
    Suggestions, comments, ideas, and "hey me too"s are welcome and appreciated.

    Thank you for your answer; I followed your suggestions:
    The card is working fine in terms of spinning and is not dusty.
    I booted from the Mac OS Installer DVD, and couldn't replicate the problem. But I don't think that's a good indicator, because this problem is intermittent and doesn't manifest itself consistently. Also, there's no way of playing video or scrolling down a webpage from the Installer DVD.
    Also, I tried switching the two display connectors around (plug 2 to plug 1 and vice versa), which caused something interesting to happen: I stopped seeing vertical lines but started getting WEIRD flickering and green artifacts. Again, this happened on both screens.
    The Apple Hardware Test said everything is fine (weird).
    I think I'll try your suggestion of re-installing the OS. I always dread doing it. But hey maybe it'll make my computer run fast again (it's been running slowly lately).
    Cheers, thanks for the suggestions, and I'll post back regarding what happens next.

  • HD3000 freezes, airfracts, horizontal lines

    Hi
    Can anyone help me? I have OSX 10.9.5 (13F1066) on this laptop:
    I3 2310M
    HD3000
    ALC269
    AR8151
    AR5B97
    Here is the console log after restart: http://pastebin.com/vGFySH1N
    Its freezing, texture problems in games, random horizontal lines....  When freeze, everything stops, just the mouse moving... please help me thank you, and sorry for my bad english

    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.
