Labview screen refresh bug (disappearing VI icons in diagram window)

Hello,
I have Labview 6 (fully patched with just about EVERY download NI offers on this site) running on a Windows NT 4.00.13.81 box. Since this is a screen refresh problem, it might be useful to mention that the graphics card is a ATI 3D Rage Pro (bought in 1999, driver versions 5.2.040, 4.0.0).
I think I've ran into either a Labview or a graphics card driver bug, because the VI icons in the diagram window seem to disappear every time I move the mouse over them. Minimising the window and maximising it again makes them appear (if only someone had included a "refresh" shortcut in Labview I could even learn to live with this!), but the bug persists. Shrinking and reinstating the diagram window co
nstantly is a reasonable way to work.
I cannot remember for sure, but I believe this bug appeared when I patched Labview 6.0 into 6.0.2.
Any help will be much appreaciated, this bug is frustrating and doesn't let me work!I really do not want to upgrade to Labview 7 either, as all my work is in 6.0.x and I have no time for major shifts in versions.
Thank you,
-Alexandros

Disappearing desktop icons in Lion 10.7.2

As shown in the screen capture below, some deskop icons will intermittently disappear from my desktop.
If I reboot, they may either all be there or some other ones will be missing.
Is there a fix for this bug?

I think it's an issue with your .DS Store, which is used in every folder to store information. You can use Onyx to rebuild .DS_Stores and I would also rebuild LaunchServices data bases.
Both are under the Maintence tab in Onyx. For .DS_Store enter /Users/yourname/Desktop
and choose "This folder only"

Constant Screen ReFresh

My screen refreshes about every 90 seconds and all the icons disappear and then repopulate. Its a flash but rather annoying. I have also seen finder pop up on its own as it would when i click on my hard drive icon. Bizarre. Any help on this one?

It may be a third party Login Item or incompatible software. Are you running Google Drive? If so uninstall it.
If not try starting in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Don’t just “hide” them by checkmark.
Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours. Then log out and back in or restart and test.

Excel 2013 BeforeRightClick Event fails on Windows 8.1 Tablet (it's an Excel 2013 tablet touch screen interface bug)

I have developed customized table context menus in an Excel 2013 workbook on my Laptop. They work just fine on my laptop and my work desktop. But when I try to run them on my tablet PC the Worksheet_BeforeRightClick event in Excel 2013 never fires. Other
worksheet events appear to work okay. I have fully reinstalled Office 2013 Pro and that does not make any difference.
I have read other comments regarding this same problem going back to 2013, but have never seen Microsoft respond to this issue. Nor have I been able to find a resolution. Has anyone else run into this and found a solution?
Additional Discoveries: Testing on my tablet shows that adding one custom CommandBarButton to either the top or the bottom of the default "List Range Popup" context menu causes the Worksheet_BeforeRightClick event to fail. The basic context
menu commands still show up, but the default dropdown button for additional context menu commands disappears. The event is perhaps firing, but any customized code for the context menu is not being handled properly by Excel. This does appear to be a bug and
not a question of coding error. Perhaps someone else with a tablet PC running WIndows 8.1 could test this.
Based on comments
here this bug was introduced in Excel 2013 because others find the problem does not exist when using Excel 2010 on a tablet PC. Note that all the commenters on the linked thread that are experiencing this problem are using tablet PCs.
Update 3-13-15: I stand corrected. The Worksheet_BeforeRightClick does work on Excel 2013 Windows 8.1 tablets. I happen to own an Asus VivoTab Note 8, which comes with a Wacom stylus. If I use the Wacom sylus to right click on an Excel 2013 worksheet cell,
the Worksheet_BeforeRightClick event fires and modified context menu code runs just fine. But the code will not run if one uses their finger to right click a worksheet cell. This explains why this problem only shows up on tablet PCs. So the "bug"
introduced in Excel 2013 is a general user touch screen interface bug and not an Excel events programming bug.
Update 3-21-15: Switched to a Toshiba Protege laptop with touch screen. Same issue with finger touch screen interface on the Toshiba touch screen as with the Asus VivoTab touch screen.
Laptop: Toshiba Protege (with touch screen), Windows 8.1 64bit and MSOffice 2013 Pro 32bit
Tablet: Asus VivoTab Note 8, Windows 8.1 32bit and MSOffice 2013 Pro 32 bit
Desktop: Generic, Windows 7 64bit and MSOffice 2013 Pro 64bit

Hello Phil,
Command bars were deprecated and shouldn't be used any longer. Instead, you need to use the Fluent UI (aka Ribbon UI) instead. You can read more about the new UI in the following series of articles in MSDN:
Customizing Context Menus in Office 2010
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 1 of 3)
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 2 of 3)
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 3 of 3)
As a workaround you can add a custom control to the context
menu with the getEnabled or getVisible callback which will be invoked before the context menu is shown.

Strange display problems: lines, missing icons, pieces of windows that stay on screen...

My white 24" iMac has recently started having problems with the display. Because I'm able to capture it with Grab and due to the nature of the problem, it doens't appear to be hardware related. But, not sure. See the screen cap I took below as an example of one of the problems I'm seeing.
I'll try to describe a few other display anomalies I'm having:
Moving a window leaves the background that it was on intact all around the edge of the window, where the drop shadow would be.
The Dock, which is set to be hidden until my cursor moves into that area, will appear sometimes with some of the icons missing, but, the shadows for those icons are visible on the Dock. Or, there are weird lines and patterns around each icon.
While using Safari and a few other apps, I'll frequently get colored lines and patterns that suddenly appear across the screen, and then disappear when my cursor moves over that part of the screen.
When I click on the minimize button, the window uses the Genie effect to move into the Dock, but, often leaves a bit of the window on the screen. It will sometimes clear when I drag another window over the area, or the window I'm dragging will start looking like it does in the screen cap below.
My graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT. I updated the firmware to ROM Revision 3467, but, it didn't seem to make any difference. The only think I can recall doing before this problem happened is I installed the iTunes 10.4.1 update. I'm running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
This iMac is about 4.5 years old, so, it's not covered by warranty anymore which means I can't take it to an Apple Store for troubleshooting. I'm hoping someone knows how I can fix this. It just started doing this a week ago. Thanks!
Tom

Hi Michelefree,
My iMac does not have a separate video card, so, I was not able to replace it as suggested above. Apparently with the Intel iMacs, or at least the one I have, the video "card" is actually a few chips on the logic board. I was told the only way to fix this is to replace the entire logic board, which is too costly (no longer within warranty).
I did a bit of research and discovered that the problem seems to be related to how hot the computer gets. I noticed this, too. When I started using my iMac first thing in the day, no problems. As the day progressed and the computer heated up, I'd start having all these video problems.
I found a utility called smcFanControl which allows you to speed up the mininim fan speeds inside the computer, which helps keep it cooler. Since I installed this, I've had very few video problems. So, it appears to have "solved" my problem for now.
I wish there was a better solution than this band-aid fix, but, it's a lot cheaper than having the logic board replaced or buying a new iMac, the only choices I was given by Apple. Hope it works for you, too!

A bug with aplications icons

I have found a bug in ios.
I had too mani applications on my ipad2.
I have fullfilled all eleven pages with 20 aplications in each page.
I have dowloaded more aplicatiobs but these applications are inside the ipad ( if i search i find them) but the icon is not viible.
João

That's not really a bug. That is how the iPad handles the lack of space on the screens after you fill them all up.
You can create folders so that you will have more room on your home screens. Tap and hold down on an app icon until they all start to wiggle on the screen. Then drag one icon on top of another icon to create a folder. You can place up to 20 apps in a folder and if you do this, you will regain the space on the screens for the other app icons.
When you are done creating folders and moving icons around, tap the home button to stop the wiggling.

Screen refresh problem in kde4 with konsole, nvidia and compiz

Hi,
I have for the last month or so been experiencing really slow screen refreshes in konsole. What happens is that the text often doesn't get refreshed and you end up with the cursor not on the correct line, blocks all over the konsole window and blank areas of text. Minimising and maximising the konsole windows seems to refresh them as does using compiz's scale plugin. As I spend pretty much all day using konsole this has been really annoying. I have today however found a fix in this bug report:- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … mments=all
This was to go into ccsm, enable workaronds under utility and make sure "Force syncronization between X and GLX" is ticked.
Thought I'd share is this has really been doing my head in, so hope this helps someone else!

Screen refresh after the "Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 16"

Hi, can anyone help.. aside from going back to backup pre update 16, on tuesday installed updated the "Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 16" (from 15) and now Vassal (from vassal.org), using the newly installed JAVA SE 1.6.0_51, has some kind of bug stopping screen refresh and some GUI elements not being displayed in the app.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem ? Do we know if this is a known issue ? And if so, do we have any news about a fix ? and if so, from who ?
many thanks, Ricky

Some searching found this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17204465/how-does-java-for-os-x-2013-004-affe ct-break-swing-applications
i.e. looks like other folks are seeing the same problem in java Swing apps. I still wonder where a fix will come from.. the app developers, or a java patch ....(?).

Disappearing Adobe Icons

This is more cosmetic than functional, but annoying nonetheless.
All of the CS4 shortcuts are on my Win Vista desktop & all display the appropriate Adobe product icon. Suddenly now, the Premiere Pro and Encore icons are gone, leaving in their place the white generic Windows shortcut icons. Producing new shortcuts from the Programs list doesn't correct it (the correct icon is present until the shortcut is dragged to the desktop).
The shortcuts work, but I'd like to get the icons back.
Any ideas?

heh, and just to cover again what you tried , and have it typed out for reference here is some stuff from PC magazine and another place...
Good Luck ! Rod

If your desktop items display the wrong icons or no icons at all, enlarging and refreshing the icon cache should help. The easiest way is to download Microsoft's free (but unsupported) TweakUI PowerToy; there is a tool specifically for repairing desktop icons. See "Something for Nothing."
To do this manually, go to Start | Run and enter Regedit to launch the Registry Editor. Navigate to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer. In the right-hand pane, find or create the DWORD value MaxCachedIcons.To enlarge the cache size, double-click on this value and change it to 4096 in decimal. If the problem recurs, try an even larger value.
Next, you must force Win XP to reread all the cached icons. Right-click on the desktop, choose Properties, click on the Appearance tab in the dialog box that pops up, and click on the Advanced button on that tab. Select Icon in the Item list and increase the Size setting by 1 pixel (this will normally be from 32 to 33). Click on OK to dismiss the Advanced Appearance dialog, then click on the Apply button. The desktop will fade and then return back to normal. Now click on the Advanced button again, change the icon size back to what it was, click on OK, and click on OK again.

Fix Blank or White Shortcut Icons on Desktop
Once in a while, the shortcut icons on the Windows desktop may suddenly been changed or became blank or ‘white paper’ icon, where supposedly the icons should be colorful and customized in style and color. It’s as if the icon for the shortcut has been removed or unassigned, and been replaced with default blank icon in white.
The bug happens whenever there is corruption in icon cache database. For example, in Windows 7 pre-RC release, a network connection
or broadband connection shortcut’s icon placed on desktop by user manually will go haywire and turn into blank default icon if there is another third-party program places an icon on desktop later.
In order to fix the problem where shortcut icons turn to blank icon, try to refresh or rebuild the cache database for icons. There are many system management software utilities that may reset the icon cache db automatically, but here’s how to reset the icon cache db manually.
To refresh and reset the icons cache, go to the following folder:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\
To see the hidden AppData folder, go to Organize -> Folder and Search Options -> View tab, and select Show hidden files, folders and drives, and uncheck Hide protected operating system files (Recommended).
Once inside the folder, delete IconCache.db. Create a new file named IconCache.db, and set it to Read Only attribute in Properties (if the file is not read only, the cache won’t be reset). Then restart the computer. Remove the Read Only attribute of IconCache.db file, and the icons cache will be refreshed. The step will restore the desktop shortcut icons to their lawfully icons.

PrE 11 Causes Screen Refresh Failure

I am working on a relatively new (less than six months out of the factory) Lenovo W530 laptop and whenever I move the window containing PrE around on the display it leaves a continuous trail behind wherever the window has been, as per this example.
The really baffling thing is that this problem does NOT happen with any other program I use, including Photshop Elements. I will note that forcing a screen refresh (F5) will restore the underlying desktop display but not any other windows that have been overwritten.
I have updated all video drivers to the most current (see notes below) and have deleted the BadDrivers.txt file as suggested in the support forum.
I am running Windows 7 Pro (64-bit) with a 1.0Tb hard drive and 8.0Gb of main memory. My laptop display is controlled by an Intel HD Graphics 4000 with driver version 9.17.10.2843 which is dated 08-21-2012. (I did discover that an updated driver has just been released from Intel in the last week, but that version is not available from Lenovo yet.)
Any thoughts or suggestions would be most welcome. Many thanks in advance for your consideration.

Randy,
Just a thought here, and actually applying to a different program, Premiere Pro, and to nVidia cards, but perhaps you have similar controls in your AMD/ATI Catalyst console:
Some users were having similar issues with screen redraw in PrPro, with nVidia graphics cards, with the latest nVidia driver. The cause was in the settings for 3D Acceleration. When those users set the 3D Acceleration to "Let program decide," (or very similar syntax), the redraw issues disappeared.
You say that you have tried various settings, but I assume that you were working in the OS controls (BTW - Aero has caused some screen redraw issues, and in earlier OS's, users have just disabled that). Check out the setting in your Catalyst console, to see what you have available to you.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I have a similar issue (looks about the same as the OP's screen-cap, and is really noticeable in the Program Monitor), but my problem is that I am still running XP-Pro SP3 on this laptop. My nVidia GeForce 8800M GTX card has the last driver from nVidia, but with my old OS, that driver is now about 2 years old, and will never be replaced. I am stuck, until I upgrade the OS to Win7, but will probably have to stay with 32-bit, since I can only fit 4GB RAM on the laptop's old MoBo. I have a new Win7-64 laptop, as a replacement, so all is not lost.

Black screen (or screen refresh) during the process of start up. T400, Vista home basic.

My 2 weeks old T400 Vista home basic can start up successfully. But every time when I start or restart it, during the start process, after inputting the password, there are 4 times of black screen (or screen refresh). Is it normal? Thanks.

There is no option to reject an incoming call in locked screen, there must be an icon on the screen for one who don't want to use lock button several times, i did'nt face this problem in last ios 6.1.3.

A good read. Have you done anything at all to resolve your problem. Reset? Restore?
By the way - "your products"... nobody here produced the iPhone, we are all just users. Apple is not here.

Is there a way to speed up Premiere's screen refresh when editing?

Hello all!
I've been doing a lot of editing in the time-line. I'm editing two concurrent video tracks, and three concurrent audio tracks.
Whenever I split or delete portions of a clip, Premiere re-draws the tracks which takes several seconds (maybe 7 seconds or so?).
I know it doesn't seem to be a lot of time, but I am making many edits and it slows me down.
I know that if one "turns-off" the fancy graphics that display little video pictures and audio waveform displays that this screen refresh goes faster.
But is there some I should be setting to optimize my computer specific to screen refresh?
I believe I have mucho RAM, 500 gig of "extra" disk space, a fast dual core processor and am running Windows XP.
My project is located on a secondary drive.
Would a fancy video card help speed up the screen refresh?
Thanks!
--Tom Nickel

Hunt,
(By the way, thanks to everyone for all the time that they're putting into this thread. I didn't think that it
would have evolved into such complexity ..)
My Windows Hardware Acceleration was set "all the way to the right".
I tried it "all the way to the left" and then, just one "notch" less than "all the way to the right".
(Hope that makes sense!)
It didn't fix the problem :-(
(Do I need to re-start Windows when I change this setting? I did not do that ..)
Here is some more information:
I think I had first noticed the video latency last August. I had attributed it to a lack of hard drive space and
installed a new internal hard drive (I have four 500G sata hard drives in my computer.)
Also, I had installed Premiere 7 on my computer about two weeks ago. (I have been using "3" to date.)
Both 3 and 7 act the same way, so I'm thinking that the issue probably isn't caused by a corrupt installation of Premiere.
I would suspect having both 3 and 7 installed concurrently as the culprit, but the issue existed long before installing 7.
If it were a system RAM failure, I'd suspect that I'd see a far more catastrophic failure?
And, when the video is playing "catch-up", I'm not seeing excessive drive activity, so I'm not sure
how big a role that the hard drove(s) are playing in this anomaly.
re: hard drives - the only set-up that I changed in the BIOS when installing hard drives was to turn on the
SATA interface for the drives .. maybe I've missed an optimization?
Maybe I need to go thru the "optimize your PC" list ..
Last thought for now: Is my Nividia GeForce video card adequate? I've got another video card that I can try.
Thanks copiously again!

TS1702 After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?

After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?
