Launchpad and some graphics problem

Today I installed Python program and then a few hours later I am suddenly discovering problems with the graphics. There seem to be some lag with the launchpad (I see lines as the page is forming and the icons seems to be jumping) and some graphics like opening a few window etc. I have never had this problem before. It all started when I tried to open COMSOL multiphysics, the screen went blue and then all this started. All graphics is now a bit jumpy. 
How do I fix this problem?

  • Windows XP on Mac Mini and some graphics problems

    I used BootCamp 1.4 to run a Windows Xp on my mac mini. Everything seemed fine, I installed the Bootcamp Window drivers. There is some problem, however, when I launch games. Screen Resolution is set on 1680x1050 pixels (Apple Display 20"), but when I open a game the screen is shrinked to a small box with resolution no more then 640x480 pixels. Graphics on games is OK, high details, fine rendering, but I can't understand why is the screen so small.
    I've downloaded the latest Intel graphics video driver for 945 chipset, but still the problem resist.
    Thanks to everybody in advance.

    Hi Alex. When started a game, it should open at fullscreen, no matter what the resolution is. The problem with my games is that this box I am talking is the whole screen!
    I tried to uninstall the video driver and rebooted. Without graphic drivers Windows loaded in the same small box (screen). Than I installed the drivers again and restarted. On the next start the video resolution was ok (1680x050) and it was fullscreen. I'm pointing out this because I think that problem is not only about the games, but it is something connected with the drivers, the hardware or the video card..
    That's why I am asking for help.
    Thank you.

  • How do I get flash to stop looping? (And some other problems too)

    I'm brand new to flash so cut me a little slack... 
    I'm in the middle of building a website in Flash CS4 in Action Script 3.0 and (according my the tutorial I'm using) I need to access the "parameters" panel. The problem is I don't see it anywhere. I see "properties" and "filters" but to parameters. I've cycled through all the workspace presets but with no luck. How can I bring it up??
    Also, even though I used the "stop();" code in the beginning of my actions frame my movie just keeps looping when I test it. What am I doing wrong?
    I've attached the file I'm working on, maybe there's some other problem as well..?
    Thanks in advance..

    to see the parameters panel drag a component (like the flvplayback component) onto the stage.  a parameters panel should appear.
    if you have no compiler errors and your swf plays past a stop(), you have other code that's executing after the stop() causing your timeline to advance.

  • Freezing, glitches and weird graphics problems

    My white iMac starting having weird praphics issues about year and a half ago. Nothing that was too much to deal with. Simply using expose always cleared it up and if it came back I would do the same. It seems to be getting worse. And then yesterday my iMac started getting super slow and pausing for no reason and then I got the black transparent window shade come from the top of my screen to the bottom and then a message telling me I needed to restart my computer.
    After that seemed to work but I still had graphics problems screen flickering and things like this. Then freezes started happening. I reset my pram and novram with no luck. That didn't seem to help. I have 4g of memory so I know it's not that. What hardware could be causing this? Thanks
    Btw using the latest version of snow leopard

  • Error while registering JDBC and some more problems (11g)

    Hi there.
    I'm new here and using Oracle,I've been studying SQL Server at the school and I'm going to have Oracle 9i lessons soon.
    I've installed Oracle 11g here but things aren't going well yet.
    When I open Oracle SQL Developer,I have the message "Error while registering JDBC Diagnosability MrBean.
    When I try to do a connection with SQL Developer I have the error "The network device could not establish the connection",I have an Oracle 11g Book reference for studies,and I'm doing exactly how it shows me. (maybe it will happen until the first problem be solved)
    The last one,when I use SQL Plus I can't get a sucessfull login.After the installation I could with scott and SYSMAN,but after a reboot I can't any longer.
    How can I get it working now?
    thanks

    Well I don't know what happened but it's working now. I did an ipconfig and noticed that the IP address was incorrect. The gateay IP address was also incorrect. I changed it to the values posted in ipconfig. I opened up SQL Developer and was then able to make the connection. I went back and changed the IP addresses back to the old values. I then opened up SQL Developer again. I was expecting to see the refuded connection message but instead it connected. I have no idea what to think now. Can SQL Developer connect to a non local database?
    I tried to connect to another remote SQL Server but got xxxx invalid username for some reason. I know the username/password is correct.
    Lastly, I tried to do a quick migration of a simple table. It stops at the generate step. After hitting close buton. It asks to log back onto SQL Server.
    I noticed that the schema being used gets created with dbo_schemaname
    i.e. scott would be user dbo_scott
    I tried to create a user called dbo_scott and it still stopped at the generate step.
    Any ideas? Thanks for your help

  • Firefox won't load SOME pictures and SOME graphics from Huffington Post; Explorer will load them

    This is a problem that ONLY occurs with Huffington Post. I haven't had trouble with any other websites. With the Huffington Post site, the big photo at the top of the page loads, but none of the smaller photos on the page load--all just white blanks. The other thing that is not loading is the names in the line at the top of the page which lists various sections of the website starting with FRONT PAGE, POLITICS, BUSINESS, ENTERTAINMENT...... and ending with ALL SECTIONS. However, when I go to Internet Explorer, the Huffington Post website loads perfectly.

    Some images come from i.huffpost.com/
    So you can check that you aren't blocking images from servers like that.
    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    *Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    *Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
    *Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
    *Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
    If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
    Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.image pref should be 1.
    There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

  • Safari, Top Sites and video graphical problems

    I don't know what is happening to my macbook pro. Now I'm using the GeForce9400M, I don't know if the problem is there is the same with the Ge force 9600GT as well and when there are video content in Safari I have problem. Moreover I cannot log to this forum with Safari only by Firefox. Please see the videos! Thanks!
    Could be that there is a relation with the flash plug-in 10.1.82?

    HI,
    As for the TopSites issue, read here. Top Sites, Cover Flow features require compatible graphics card
    I don't think in your case it's your graphics card, but thought I'd post that link just in case. Try emptying your Safari cache more often, Command + Option + E or go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and move the cache.db file to the Trash.
    If you have any Safari Extensions installed, turn Extensions off from Safari / Preferences - Extensions. See if that makes a difference.
    If the problem persists with TopSites, login to another user account on your Mac. See if you have problems with TopSites there.
    As for logging into AD. From your Safari Menu Bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies Remove all Apple related cookies. Relaunch Safari.
    If you still have problems logging into AD, launch Keychain Access. Select Passwords on the left. Delete the Apple ID keychain. Relaunch Safari. Try logging in to AD now.

  • Mega 180 and onboard graphics problems!

    Problem is this:
    Primary graphics output of my Mega 180 is only displaying in Green, the secondary output is blurred and too bright, no amount of altering settings and installing drivers changes this situation.
    Any suggestions.
    Piers
    Athlon 3000+
    Windows XP Pro
    Matched pair 512Mb 2700
    Diamond Max 160Gb
    Onboard Sound/Graphics/LAN

    To isolate the problem you should try a different VGA cable and a different monitor.
    If those don't help then the problem is with the computer.
    Try unplugging it from the wall wait 10 seconds and plug it back in... This is kind of a cure all for many mega 180 ills.
    The onboard graphics uses system memory. How much is allocated to it in BIOS. 128 MB is recommended for most home theater types of applications.
    Have you tried resetting the BIOS settings to all defaults ?
    If you've done all these things and nothing helps it sounds like the board may be bad.

  • Problem with Spotlight and some system problem, Please HELP!

    I'm using iMac G5 with iSight (10.4.8)
    Recently, I've noticed that my spotlight didn't search anything, when I type something it just do nothing.
    I try to re indexing the spotlight by move the HD to the privacy zone in the spotlight preference but nothing appear on the list. I can't add anything to the privacy zone both by draging the folder or click + button.
    Then I search for the application that can clear the cache and re indexing the spotlight, I found Onyx and Maintenance.
    Both of them can't be open, it say that I have to use an admin account.
    Even I was logged in as a Admin, I have only one account in the system and set as an admin already.
    So, I search on the internet and someone suggest another way to re index in terminal by using this command: sudo mdutil -E /
    First I open the terminal and type the command, it said "-bash: sudo: command not found "
    So, I try to use terminal by boot on the DVD that bundle with iMac, and same result.
    I tried boot in single user by press command and S when boot and type sudo command, same reult.
    Another information, I noticed on my macbook when I open the terminal, it will show this info:
    Last login: show the time
    Welcom to Darwin!
    My computer name
    But on my iMac, it didn't show anything except only the computer name line.
    What should I do? Thanks

  • Thumbnail images, bigger images and some text PROBLEM

    Unclear title, with an unclear problem.
    What I'm wanting to do is, when I click on a thumbnail image, I want the content in the DIV on the right to change accordingly to display the image and information relating to the thumbnail you have just clicked. I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 on MAC:
    - I have a page split into 2 vertical columns. On the left I have 6 thumbnail images in their individual DIVs, wrapped all together in another DIV container
    - on the right of the page I have assigned a large DIV to display a big image with a description underneath of what the project was etc...
    I know you can attach a behaviour to the thumbnail to change the big image on the right, but I have a short paragraph of text below the big image too, and I don't particularly want to make the image and text one huge image. I want to keep the text, text.
    How do I do it? Is this a simple thing? or is there a lot of coding to do this with JQuery or Javascript or something? Is there something to do with Data record sets involved?
    Is there a way of doing it that when you click on the thumbnail that it can load the relevant image and text into the DIV on the right?
    Sorry if it's not clearly explained, not sure how to do it, therefore not sure if I'm describing it properly.
    As always, all help and advice very welcome.

    Hi Murray,
    Here is a screenshot of the page in question.
    - On the left are the thumbBox DIVS, (shown here, "thumbBox1")
    - On the right there is a main container, "galleryDisplay"
    - Within "galleryDisplay" there is a DIV for the large image, "galleryDisplayImage", and another DIV to display a paragraph of information on the project, "galleryDisplayInfo".
    Just to repeat, I want that when you click on the "thumbBox1", that the content of "galleryDisplayImage" and "galleryDisplayInfo" change in accordance to the thumbnail clicked.
    Murray *ACP* wrote:
    The easy way to do this is to have each click on the thumbnail change the display Property of a container (containing both the image and the caption) from "none" to "block".  In the column on the right, just line up a series of divs, each containing the desired image+caption, and use DW's Chage Property behavior on a null link surrounding the thumbnail.  For example, a thumbnail image:
    <a href="#" onClick="MM_changeProp('image-caption1','','display','block','DIV'); return false"><img src="path_to_thumb.jpg" width="165" height="50"></a>
    Each click on a thumb would also have to change the display Property of all other image-caption containers to "none".
    I don't understand what I have to do with the relevant large image and text. You say to "line up a series of divs"... I don't understand. Where do I "store" the image and text combinations for each project? I can understand how an image can be loaded into the image div, but how and from where do I load in the html text with css applied into the info div?
    Can I change the content of 2 separate divs from one click?
    Sorry for not being overly clear, but I can't get my head round this.
    Thanks for your help. I'm sure I'll get there in the end with your expertise.

  • Some graphic problems

    Hi. My iMac Al 2GHz with ATI 2400XT no freeze problems. But, when i playig games, or using Photo Booth (on effects screen) , i can see simple red, or blue, or green color instead of textures, in few seconds. It's problem in windows games too.

    Hi rebel.yell and welcome to our community
    First off, nice touch with the link to the screen shot. Helps
    tremendously in cases like this.
    Things I might suggest trying would be:
    1. Click Edit > Preferences... > Project node >
    Settings node and DE-select one or both of the compression options.
    Then re-publish.
    2. Assuming the first suggestion fails, perhaps re-visit the
    same settings area and try increasing the image quality levels for
    the project.
    3. Assuming both of those fail to work, perhaps visit the
    actual slides where you are seeing the issue, displaying the slide
    properties and adjusting for a higher quality level for the slide
    itself.
    Hopefully one of those will work. If not, post back and
    perhaps we will have other suggestions to try.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Problems Related to Replacing HD, And some Other Problems

    i have successfully replaced with the New HD( Old HD: SMART Status Failing), What is the correct way to format the New HD before installing Mac OS X Tiger in it?
    what i have done is to partition the HD in Disk Utility and i have finished installed Mac OS X in it, but the SMART Status Stating that "Verified" and Connection ID state that "Device 0", what i think is that these two status should be "ok" and "Master" respectively.
    what's thing i should know to prevent my HD from being "SMART Status FAILING?
    and my battery is dead!
    i get the error message" your time is set incorrectly......" everytime i start up my powerbook. what the solution should be?
    is Apple Hardware Test a freeware, if yes, where can i download the lastest version of it?

    > what's thing i should know to prevent my HD from being "SMART Status FAILING?
    There isn't any one specific thing. Just use your PowerBook normally. Amongst other things, don't knock/drop the PB whilst it is saving/opening files or starting up. Try to use it on a level surface - don't rest it on cushions, blankets, beds etc.
    > i get the error message" your time is set incorrectly......" everytime i start up my powerbook. what the solution should be?
    Sounds like the internal PRAM battery might be dead. It needs to be replaced. If you are still under warranty then Apple will replace it. If the warranty has expired, try an Apple Authorised Service Provider.
    > is Apple Hardware Test a freeware, if yes, where can i download the lastest version of it?
    The AHT is included with your PowerBook's original discs. If you only received a single DVD, then the AHT is accessed by restarting with the DVD inserted and, after the startup chime, press the 'alt' key until you see a screen with some icons in the middle (one of which will be the AHT).
