IE11 in Windows 8.1 changes scale when moving window between screens

Hi,
I'm using Windows 8.1 with IE11 on a Dell Latitude E6510 with an external LG screen. I use both screens in my daily work and when I move a IE11 window from the internal screen in my laptop to the external LG screen, the scaling in IE11 changes and gets smaller.
It happens when the windows is halfway over to the external screen. On the way back it changes again and gets bigger. I've use the "One scaling for all my screens" in the Control Panel|Display applet without success. It's only IE11 that has this
behaviour, no other programs does this.

Hi Brgds Jonas,
I agree with Robert Aldwinckle .
In addition, Windows 8.1 definitely seems to be doing some automatic display scaling here, as has been rumored based on beta builds of the OS.
The first option is for multiple monitors with different ppi. windows will choose for you based on what the ppi is. use trial and error until you get the size you want and both monitors will be about that size. if they are close in ppi it will not scale
them differently because I am pretty sure it only chooses from the default scaling sizes.
For more reference, you may refer to:

Hope it helps.

Can Openbox change window transparency/opacity when moving windows?

Can I configure, within Openbox or a compositing manager, differing window transparency/opacity when moving a window?

I'm currently using cairo-compmgr, but I've also used xcompmgr in the past. I've played around with the settings in both (and transset-df with xcompmgr), with no luck thus far. While getting terminal and tint2 transparency is fairly trivial, and I've also read that you can set specific windows to always have a certain level of transparency/opacity, I'm not sure that you can get the level of opacity/transparency to change whenever you grab a window and move it around. I think I read that the difficulty lies in the fact that Openbox knows when a window is being moved around, but a compositer doesn't. What I'm looking for may only be possible in a DE where the window management and compositing are integrated (e.g. KWin). Just wondering if anybody has done this with Openbox and a specific compositing manager paired together.

Help please, spacific file update only changed files when moved

I record live bands and file size can be very large when i make changes to files i want to save time and resources by only updating what has changed without replacing the whole file. when moving files from desktop to external drive.
say i have a file named "jam" that i add files to on my external drive then i copy it to my internal drive, do some edditing and add some files. when i move it back to external drive i want to update the "jam" file add the new files and changed files without having to keep track of the changed files and not transfer the files that havent changed. can anyone help?

Only files and folders below directory "/emmc" will show up in windows explorer.
You will also not be able to edit (add/delete) files to the /system/media/audio/notifications folder (or just about any folder above /emmc) . This is because you do not have administrator access (for lack of a better term) to the phone.
So, if it's that important to you, you'll have to find a way to tell the phone you're an administrator
Windows Explorer correctly identifies these as two separate drives. There is, after all, a built in drive as well as the swappable SDcard.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Modification dates change when moving/copying between hard-drive and flash

I use a flash drive to store most of my work-related documents on. That way, I have them when I'm at school (on a Windows XP computer) and at home on my Mac OS 10.3.9. I
try to occasionally back-up my flash drive by dragging it's contents to my Mac. Copying in this direction USUALLY retains the appropriate modification date.
However, if I move things from the Mac to the USB drive (I occasionally make changes to a file on the Mac when my flashdrive isn't handy), the modification date changes to the copy/move date. Is there a way around this? It alters the information about the file and sometimes makes a version look newer than another version of a document. When in reality, it’s older--it’s just been moved/copied and the date changed.
I often move things back and forth for backup purposes, but if it keeps changing the dates on it’s own, it’s impossible to tell which is REALLY the
most current copy/version.
Is there a fix so that copying and moving files between volumes does NOT change the modification date of the file?
Powerbook G4--12 in.--1.33 GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi, teacher. When my Lexar JumpDrive Secure is formatted as a MS-DOS volume so a PC can read it, the last-mod dates of files that I copy to it are changed to the date and time of copying. When it's formatted as a Mac OS Extended volume, the original last-mod dates are copied to it unchanged. Looks like you can thank Bill Gates for the inconvenience: apparently it's a DOS file system "feature". Don't you wish you could use Windoze all the time?
On second thought, the files really are changed when you write them to a DOS volume, because the DOS file system has no place to store the metadata about your files that a Mac pays attention to and a Windoze box doesn't. So when you write Mac files to a DOS volume, that metadata — which is part of each Mac file — is simply discarded, causing the last-mod date to change.

Application windows remembering original anchor points when moving or resizing

Recently it seems that most of my windows, especially iTunes, Safari, and Finder, seem to retain the anchor points from when they were opened and revert to their original position if a window is resized. I've noticed the following odd behaviors that seem to be related to this problem:
After moving an iTunes or Safari window, right-clicking will open the context menu in a location that corresponds to where the window was originally placed.
After moving a window, a drag-n-drop target remains relative to where the window was. For example, in iTunes, if I open the application and move the window, it becomes impossible to drag a song into a playlist (unless I drag the song to the location where that playlist was when the window originally opened). The same sort of thing happens with Finder windows. In the image below, a screen grab of a Safari window, I right-clicked on the signal strength display pictured on the phone to the left; notice the context menu way off to the right of the Safari window.
Resizing a Safari window makes the window first snap back to the original location, then allows the resize to occur.
Opening/closing a tab in Safari, when the action causes the tab bar to appear or disappear, causes the Safari window to snap back to the original anchored position.
I've noticed this behavior over the past week or so. It was about a week ago that I installed the 10.9.5 update to the OS, but I'm not sure if the problem pre-dated the update or not.
This is driving me insane. Does anyone have any suggestions or, hopefully, a fix?
Thanks.

You can try running the combo update.

Make positive vertical position change = UP when moving object? CS6

When moving an object, entering a positive value for vertical position sends objects DOWN. How do I reverse this such that entering a positive value will move objects UP?Thanks.

What about the suggestion in the first post in this thread, Reasoner?
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3859580#3859580?tstart=30#3859580
It is more work than using a script (was linked to in post #4 in the other thread).
We may have to ask Carlos to make a new script that works in CS6 (and in CS7 and CS8 and so on).
Carlos, what say you?

Blue background when moving my macbook screen back and forth

When I move my screen past the 90 degree angle, at a certain point, the background on my safari windows will turn a light blue with very small striped lines. Under words or my mouse, however, the background is still white.
Thanks for any help.

It is an external HD, yes, but a "portable" HD... I have also tried just the external HD but found it very bulky and I always had to lug around the power supply and cords for the HD. Google "portable hard drive passport 500gb"... for example... that's what I use.

I had originally set up my client files on my desktop... those files not only included the Web site files, but ALL related communication, content, development files (images, videos, Flash). Nothing worse than being away from home and realizing I'd forgotten to take the photo/text/video development files with me. So I just copy/pasted the ENTIRE client file on the the portable drive... which included any DW site files. Now you may have to adjust some drive names (D:, L:, J: or whatever.) but you can hot swap back and forth and always carry the current version with you to whichever computer you are on
A "portable" HD rather than just an "external"...which may need it's own power supply, means that you can hot swap the HD, just like a thumb drive.... only a heck af a lot BIGGER!
....But during testing and set up... always keep a complete backup of ALL files until you get your particular set up working.

Intel Macs & G5s: Problems when moving projects between them

An earlier post* suggesting complete compatibility between the latest FCP in a G5 and in an Intel Mac may be in error.
We are experiencing continuing crashes using our Intel Mac when we work on projects that were originally either imported or partially rendered in the G5.
It has gotten to the point where we feel we must keep projects completely isolated from each other: Either it is a "G5 project" or it is an "Intel Mac" project. Moving projects back and forth between the two leads to problems such as:
The Intel Mac does not recognize any renders done in the G5...
The Intel Mac crashes when rendering 'G5' projects...
The Intel mac crashes when compressor goes to work to export sequences to mpeg...
The G5 works fine with Intel Mac-originated material: It is only in the Intel Mac where we have these problems.
Both systems are up-to-the minute on their OS, security updates, and FCP versions. We are using variously 720p/30 from the JVC GY-100UA and 1080i/30 from the Sony Z1U.
Our questions are:
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems moving projects between a G5 and an Intel Mac?
Is anyone moving projects between the two platforms and experiencing NO problems at all? That information would be just as valuable, and very welcome.
Apple FCP development team: Is our experience unique or have you had other reports like this? Any idea what could be causing our problems -- and what we can do to fix them?

Scott,
Welcome to the discussions!
I have had no problems moving my G5 projects over to my MP.
You can not move render files between machines.
When you changed systems, did you use Migration Assistant to transfer your files over to your new Mac Pro? You might need to install from the disks in order to achieve native Intel performance. See if you installed Final Cut 5.1 on your G5 then it installed the PPC code... if you put that drive into your Mac Pro or used Migration Assistant to move the app over it is still the PPC code... When you install from the installation disk, Installer determines what system you are installing on (PPC or Intel) and that's what it installs. This goes for all of your "Universal Binary" apps...
In the System Profiler app. under Software/Applications
Final Cut Pro "kind" should be Universal on your MP.

When moving the MacBook09 screen, turns display black/dimmed

This problem might be a loose wire, but which I highly doubt it...
Anyways everything is working fine w/ the MacBook09, it's just that when I move the Screen; tilt, display screen turns dimmed black(still able to see through it w/ all my programs running etc.) The lights of the screen ONLY come back on if I sleep the laptop OR not move the laptops screen at all.
Has anyone have this issue, and had it fixed some how. By the way, sadly that I don't have warranty for my laptop hopefully it's still fixable.
Please notify ASAP. Thanks Community

I've been havign the same trouble and I tried resetting the SMC (you can find the instructions on apple.com/support/macbook ) and it didn't work for me. I'm taking mine to an authorized shop to see if I should replace the backlight or not. Apparently this is very expensive. My macbook is also from Mid09.

Quicktime video gets much whiter when moved to second screen

Whenever I move a movie playing in Quicktime over to my second monitor, the video gets very white. It still plays and you can still see it, but all the colors get brighter. I've had this problem with pretty much every video-playing software (VLC, Media Player Classic,) but I could resolve that issue in the options boxes for those programs. I can't find anything that worked in Quicktime.
I'm running XP Pro 32-bit with an 8800 GTS.

Everything else that I move between screens stays the same color. It's only Quicktime videos that change like this.
Both the screens are Samsung Syncmasters, but slightly different models. One's a 22-inc 2253BW and the other a 20-inch 206BW. I'm fairly certain it doesn't have anything to do with models, though.

Spaces switches away from application when moving window to another monitor

Using multiple monitors in Mavericks:
I often want a window from the same application on each monitor. Why? Because I'm working in one window, and I want to refer to another. Mostly it's the brower (Firefox), but sometimes it's Word or Excel too although I think this is a Mavericks issue.
Here's the issue: When I move the a window to another monitor, Spaces on the original monitor changes away from the current application.
This is frustrating, because I have to keep Cmd Tabbing to get back to my original application on both monitors... how do I prevent this from happening?
Thanks!

This reply from Grzegortz Krzminski was helpful - problem solved:
"Hover your mouse over the tasbar icon of the application (the thumbnail preview appears) > right click on the thumbnail preview > select Move > hold the button and move the window."

Align window won't change to path points window in CS5

Fireworks is refusing to change the Align window into the Align path points window.
This used to behave oddly when I first installed it and wouldn't change over every now and then, but now it refuses to change at all!
Anyone found a way to force it to display?

Thanks Linda.
This doesn't help much though, it only works occasionally. I really need a permanent/reliable solution.
I have alot of people in the production pipeline and the time it is taking to adjust to get this to work in terrible. This bug may force me to get my staff to use an older version of Fireworks!! OR write an extension to to this functionality!!

Why does Firefox (3.6.12) try to access the Net as it starts, but before the Ffx window first shows & once more when the window opens, if I've set updates to manual and "about:blank" as my home page?

I click to load Firefox (3.6.12). The Comodo firewall warns me that Firefox is trying to connect to the Net. I block it, because I've not asked Firefox to do that, at that point. Then, when the Firefox window opens, the firewall warns me, again, that Firefox is trying to access the internet. I block it then, too. Use of Firefox is completely uncompromised by me doing this - that much is clear.
Surely, if I have turned off automatic updates and use "about:blank" as my browser startup page, Firefox has no need, and no place, attempting to connect to the internet until I ask it to, by clicking a bookmark in the Bookmarks toolbar, or until I type a URL into the address bar.
What is Firefox trying to do? and how can I stop it from trying to do it?

See [[Firefox makes unrequested connections]]

How do I stop my audio from changing pitch when moving it to another track?

I read up a bit on the "Flex" settings, however, I can't seem to turn it completely off. The flex button is not engaged, however, when I move audio from one track to another, the pitch changes. How do I stop this completely?

You have to disable it on the tracks themselves too. The 'main' flex button only turns on and off Flex view, and not flex itself.
Flex view on, track flexed
Flex view off, track flexed (or not?)
Flex view on, track not flexed

Hi,
The OS partition is a Dell preinstalled volume. Since Dell indicates the FAT32 partition contains the UEFI build and should not be reformatted/converted, you could simply skip from backup as it is not related to operation system.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
Windows Server Backup Error: "Volume(s) OS have and unsupported files system and cannot be backed up."

Hi, Mandy
Thanks a lot for replying. The problem is that the OS partition is marked as System. When creating a System State backup, the System partition is presumably included because it has to be present in order for the server to boot. You are not given the
option to skip the partition when trying to do a System State backup.
