Jerky Graphics with "triangles"

Just recently, I began to see triangles appear on my screen when using my laptop (ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 card). These triangles stretch the images on the screen and only disappear when I scroll up and down a few times, or highlight the area with the trackpad. Does anyone know what causes this error? Is it the graphics card?
Thanks for the help,
MP

Hi, MP.
1. What changes did you make to your Mac before this problem arose? If the problem arose after making a change, it's possible the change is the cause.
2. Run the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) that came with your Mac. See my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ for comprehensive advice on using the AHT in troubleshooting, including running the test in Loop Mode. The AHT will test the display and graphics card.
Good luck!

  • Move graphics with text--but not inline--in PM...??

    Hello, is there a way in PageMaker to move graphics with text but not inline? I ask because right now I see two options for graphics:
    --inline, so you cannot place the graphic exactly where you want AND the text only flows way above or below--but not next to--the graphic
    or
    --independent so you can place the graphic exactly where you want and the text DOES flow right next to the graphic, but then the graphic doesn't move with the text
    I'd like to be able to place graphics exactly where I want AND have them move with the text, like the "Move object with text" option in Word.
    thank you!
    L

    well it has been a while since i used PageMaker so i didn't realize it was "dead."
    though i'm not surprised and am kind of glad. i was hired into a new job recently
    to work on a department newsletter, and i'm trying to find a good authoring program
    within our budget. right now the newsletter is in Word but we've had a lot of problems
    with Word so i'm seeking an alternate solution. i'd like Frame but again there isn't
    enough money in the budget. i need a good option that is $500 or less...i'm trying Publisher
    now too but not enough functionality...

  • I have a graphic with a hyperlink in an Outlook email. When I open on it on my iPhone I get the option to email, save, tweet, FB, etc. The text hyerlinks in the email open properly.  Can anyone help?

    I am sending an email from Outlook.  It has a graphic with a hyperlink and it has text with hyperlinks.  When I open the email on my iphone, the text hyperlinks open properly.  The graphic hyperlink gives the options to email, tweet, FB, print, copy, etc.  Can anyone help me correct this so that the graphic links opens in the website it's linked to?  Thank you.

    Try checking the hyperlink for the image in MS Outlook.
    Select image in signature, then click "Insert Hyperlink" image to the far right of Edit signature toolbar.
    Click "Target Frame" button.
    Select "New Window", then "OK".
    After doing this, it solved my problem.

  • Business Graphics with Web Dynpro?

    Hello @ all,
    I have got a question about displaying dashboards and other charts on mobile devices using SAP Technology.
    1) Does someone know, when it will become possible to display BusinessGraphics in Mobile Devices like BlackBerry, Pocket PC a.s.o buildt with Web Dynpro?
    2) Which Technology can I use instead of Web Dynpro? Does it make sense to use HTMLB or should we use non SAP Products like "JFree Chart" for J2EE applications specially buildt for Mobile Devices?
    Thank you for any hints!
    Mehmet

    Hi Memhet!
    You can use Business Graphics with Web Dynpro with version NWDS 2.0(we are in was 6.40)and could be displayed on mobile devices.We use Symbol devices.I am not sure abt Blackberry.Is that your question? OR Are you looking for some alternate solution to WebDynpro.Is that because you have some limitations in running your WD applications in mobile devices?Just trying to understand......
    Thx

    who can help me?
    Best wishes to all of you.

    Hello,
    It is possible to store the time in user variables. How to export those variables depends on the deployment of the file.
    Some information about showing elapsed time can perhaps give you a start:

  • EPS Graphic with transparent bkgd placed over shape: IDCS3

    In Photoshop CS3 I created a graphic of a basketball player and masked him out. I then deleted the mask, leaving me with just the player. I now have a document that is 8x10", 300 dpi, with a transparent background. I flattened it and saved it as a Photoshop EPS.
    In InDesign CS3 I created a shape layer.
    I then created a graphics frame and placed my graphic with transparent bkgd in it.
    I arranged the layers so that my graphics layer is directly above my shape layer.
    Why isn't the background of the graphics layer transparent? It does not let the shape show through.
    I tried this technique:
    Object>Clipping Path>Options>Detect Edges = This is roughly what I want, but the edges are ragged.
    What is this technique called that I am trying to perform? I can't decide on the vocab. to use to navigate through the help menus or forum topics here.
    Thank you.

    ^ Just a quick note on #2 that transparency *effects* (as in 50% opacity) are not supported. However, simple background transparency should be.
    The Photoshop trip is probably your culprit as noted by OldBob, but whenever you work with EPS, you should also set your import options for EPS graphics to "Raster preview from postscript" (or whatever the "from postscript" option is called). Without that option, drop shadows will generate around the bounding box not the shape of the EPS object. Not sure whether the background will be correctly transparent either.

  • Help export the graphic with transparent background and not braking the quality

    hi I'd like some help please if its possible.
    I've created a monitor graphic in Fireworks that looks like iMac and I would like to export it with transparent background.
    the jpeg format looks great with no damage to the graphic at all but I can't have transparent background, although I changed the canvas fill to none. the png-8 format can apply transparent background, but damages the graphic.
    Here are the previews
    1st - the png-8 format

    Hi,
    Vodafone didn't tell me they would replace the phone though. They provided the worst customer service on that call that I've had in the 9 months I've been with them, and it has never been very good at any point in that time. 
    The lady sighed repeatedly on the phone, told me that I didn't have insurance because the phone is on a pay-as-you-go, that I couldn't prove the phone was bought from a Vodafone shop (it was a gift at Christmas), and told me there was nothing more Vodafone would do for me. Very unhelpful.
    After my fourth call, I've now spoken to someone who has confirmed my phone was first registered last Christmas, and has agreed that the phone remains under warranty. They are sending it away to hopefully repair or replace it.
    Fingers crossed

  • Importing graphics with variables

    If I import a graphic with a variable, and then a bit later
    import a
    different graphic with different sizes, the icon still
    reports the
    dimensions of the previous graphic. What can I do to update
    the reported
    values?
    I'm using aw5.2
    Thanks

    Without opening Authorware at the moment, isn't there an 'As
    Is' vs.
    'Scaled' option somewhere on the display icon's property
    inspector?
    Even if so, I don't know if that would work anyway. I recall
    that I
    could never get images of various sizes to display in any
    dimension
    other than the one first linked-to, but that could be fuzzy.
    Check the Property Inspector options. If you have the
    settings as you
    think should work but the second image still displays at the
    first
    images size, try erasing then redisplaying the icon...

  • Slow and jerky graphics

    I am running Linux(PCLinuxOS) and I am have trouble with Flash/macromedia player.
    Trouble is that it is slow and very jerky, meaning the after a short but far longer time than it should, it shows only part of the graphics and many times it never finishes the that particular window/pane. Also the animation is slow as in frame rate was 3-5 a second. this seams to only be in Dragons Of Atlantis, and I do have the same issues on all linux ver I install.
    Oh...FireFox latest.
    if you know the fix...[email protected]
    Thank You

    If you disable C&Q your game glitches should disappear.
    3 short beeps?
    The K9N Ultra is an AMI bios right?
    3 shorts beeps......http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/amibeep.htm
    3 short  =  Base 64K memory failure.A memory failure has occurred in the first 64K of RAM. The RAM IC is probably bad?
    Try some other ram to see if beeps go away and also test yours with memtest.....http://www.memtest86.com/.
    This may also indicate why your game is running glitchity but I still think it's because of C&Q.
    Can you check to see if your boot.ini has /usepmtimer in it.
    Should look similar to this.......
    [boot loader]
    timeout=0
    default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="C Drive (Microsoft Windows XP)" /fastdetect /usepmtimer

  • After 10.5.2 jerky graphics

    Just did the 10.5.2 update and notice two annoying things...
    1. as I type (even now) there is a hesitance that wasn't there before... the screen can't keep up with my typing whereas it used to before the update... not a major delay but enough to be annoying... I have to wait to see if I spelled things correct and it's hard to see how far the backspace is going.
    2. when I quickly (normal speed) move a window with the mouse it jerks as if a "snap to grid" setting was on... snaps to about 1/2 inch, maybe 1/4. My processor is not loaded, nor memory. Again I didn't notice this before update. If I move window slowly (real slow) it moves fine.
    It almost seems the two things are connected??
    I checked system settings and don't see any control options for these items that may have been changed...

    Hi guys!
    I installed Quicktime 7.4.1 and then OSX Combo Update 10.5.2 and then the Graphics Update 1.0
    and had exactly the same problem with slow text typing and jerky windows moving.
    Here is what i did to solve this problem:
    1.) I unplugged my MOTU Firewire 896HD
    2.) I closed itunes
    3.) I disabled Spaces
    4.) I reran the installer of the graphic update 1.0
    5.) Restarted the sytem
    6.) After System has booted i opened finder and the jerkiness was gone. Then i reenabled/restarted
    a) itunes
    b) Motu Rack
    c) Spaces
    I controlled the moving of the windows of finder/itunes and my pro apps between all steps to be sure.
    At last i opened safari and checked typing and went to this URL to respond to all you.
    Cheers,

  • Slow/Jerky Video with kt6v\sempron 2400\geforce mx400

    Hello!
    I'm hoping someone out there has seen this problem before and can point me in the right direction for how to solve it.  I am putting this system together for my sister.  Here are the system's credentials:
    msi kt6v mainboard
    amd sempron 2400 processor
    256 meg ddr ram, 400mhz
    nvidia gforce mx400 agp display adaptor  64meg
    western digital caviar 20 gig hard drive
    generic (comp usa) 52x ide cdrom drive
    lucent pci lt win modem
    windows xp pro  with service pack 2
    Mainboard bios has recently been upgraded to  recognize the sempron cpu.
    Cpu freqency in cmos is set to 166mhz.  (is this the correct setting?)
    The problem:
    When playing various video games, such as Carnival Cruise Lines Tycoon, Trailer Park Tycoon, or The Sims (all of which are great games, btw), the video is extremely choppy/jerky.  It doesn't play smoothly at all.  But it SHOULD!   As a test, if I replace that video card with an  FX5200 personal cinema, it works great!  (but there's no way I'm going to give my sister that fx5200 card!  I need the mx400 to work in this machine.)   I can put that gforce mx400 in another machine (kt4v with amd 2200xp) and it works great.  So this tells me the problem should not be with the display adaptor nor the kt6v mainboard.  But is there a compatability problem between the two?  Is there a setting I've overlooked?  I'm thinking this is probably an issue with the display drivers or the mainboard drivers, I just don't know.  I've spent the last 3 nights trying to figure this one out.  This has me stumped.  
    Anyone else seen this same problem and know the fix?  Also, anybody know what the recommended cmos settings are on the kt6v  when using the mx 400 display adaptor and the sempron 2400 cpu?  What are the recommended drivers/versions for this mainboard and display adaptor?
    Thanks!!!!!

    No
    the GF2 came in mx200, mx and mx400.
    The GF4 came in mx420, mx440 and mx460

  • Printing a graphic with a gradient mask in Flex 3-problem

    Hello, I am fairly new to flex development. I am puting together a little program that allows the user to upload a picture add a vignette mask in order to achieve a soft edge,  and have a problem I cannot  find an answer anywhere, maybe someone could help me please.
    I want  to print a the user photo with a gradient mask or vignette from flex. I managed  to show the image correctly on screeen with the gradient mask using  this class but the output to paper is a rectangle without the soft mask.
    //package to add the mask for display
    package com.dm.graphics
       import flash.display.Graphics;
       import mx.containers.Canvas;
       import flash.display.GradientType;
       public class FrameBorderSoft extends Canvas
          override protected function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number):void
             super.updateDisplayList(w,h);
             var g:Graphics = this.graphics;
             g.clear();
             g.beginGradientFill(GradientType.RADIAL, [0x000000, 0x000000, 0x000000, 0x000000],
             [1,1,0.8,0],
             [1,128,195,255],
             horizontalGradientMatrix(0,0,w,h) );
             g.drawRect(0,0,w,h);
             g.endFill();
    It  works beautifully until I try to print the graphic. The image prints  but without the gradient edges (soft) instead it is just a sharp edge  rectangle.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    Here is my print function:
    private function doPrint():void {
                    // Create an instance of the FlexPrintJob class.
                    var myPrintJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
                    // Start the print job.
                    if (myPrintJob.start() != true) return;
                    // Add the object to print. Do not scale it.
                    if (tabnavigator1.selectedChild == img1) {
               //switchcolor is a variable to detect if the user changed the background to white or clear.       
                             switchcolor = 100;
                          //printCF is the card front container with the photo masked
                       myPrintJob.addObject(printCF, FlexPrintJobScaleType.NONE);
                       myPrintJob.printAsBitmap = false;        
                    } else if (tabnavigator1.selectedChild == img1b) {
                       switchcolor = 100;
                       myPrintJob.addObject(printCB, FlexPrintJobScaleType.NONE);
    I hope this helps to visualize,
    I would greatly appreciate any assistance or advise.

    Hello, back on my issue, i tested a little bit more the message dispaching.
    I read the lazyLoadPolicy class and noticed that it always has to have a ModuleId property in the message to work, that's why the broadcast message didn't work to awake the module with the lazy loading policy.
    So i added copy of my module:
         <cairngorm:ParsleyModuleDescriptor objectId="test"
              url="TestModule.swf"
              applicationDomain="{ClassInfo.currentDomain}"
         />
         <cairngorm:ParsleyModuleDescriptor objectId="testbis"
              url="TestModuleBis.swf"
              applicationDomain="{ClassInfo.currentDomain}"
         />     
    Set them both with a basicLoadPolicy, and tries to dispatch a message to only one of them using the ModuleId metatag. I then noticed that both modules received the message and not only the one i expected.
    I then changed the ModuleMessageInterceptor configuration to dispatch to only one kind of module:
    <cairngorm:ModuleMessageInterceptor type="{ OpenViewMessage }" moduleRef="test"/>
    and this worked as expected. Only the first module catched the message. I am obiously messing with the ModuleId metatag but i cannot see what's wrong...
    I compiled with
    -keep-as3-metadata+=ModuleId
    but this hasn't changed anything...
