Lenovo windows not visible (Fn+F5/Vol/Bright)

Hello all, new to the forums and looking for some help with my S10 Ideapad
I cant say for how long, but lately, Ive noticed that the Lenovo windows that display notifications for changes are not coming up.
I will press Fn+F5 for the wireless settings, to toggle WiFi or newly added BT, but no window pops up, nor does the wireless status change (remains on) - I can only toggle the setting by pressing the physical WiFi key at the top of the keyboard.
Same goes for the volume settings and the screen brightness settings using Fn+arrow keys, though the values do change.
Normally, I wouldnt care about this, but I am not sure the hard-key for WiFi wil allow me to toggle the BT settings, once I install the card.
I have not changed anything (that I know of) other than the Windows bubble notifications at the start bar (through RegEdit) and I doubt this would have any effect on a Lenovo program.
I have gone through MsConfig as well, making sure all programs begin at start up, but no change there either.
I did see there is a hotkey fix for other Lenovo pads, but Im not sure it will fix the problem or just add to it.

Address Book window not visible

Have a strange problem with Address Book on a friend's new 27-inch iMac.
When Address Book is launched, the menus appear at the top of the screen but there is no window. Some menu items are greyed out but some are visible. Have tried various things:
Window > Address Book does not make the window appear. Repaired permissions, removed .plist files.
Can view the Address Book entries from the Address Book button in Mail.
Any ideas, anyone?

Start by backing up the user/Library/Application Support/Addressbook folder.
In that folder is a file called AddressBook-v22.abcddb. Delete that and start address book. That will delete the index and have AB recreate it. I don't know if that is the problem, but may be.
On a different tack, download and install the 10.6.3 combo updater. It may fix what is broken. However, most problems are data-related, not the application itself.
Can you log into a different user and open Address Book? Just create a new user account for testing, if there isn't another. I keep one just for checking stuff like this. Checking in a different user will tell us if it is a system-wide problem, or just that one particular user.

Elements 11 Preview Window not visible in dual monitor mode

When I go to dual monitor mode the preview window is hidden. I can still hear the audio from the clip but I can't see the video window. It is still hidden when I switch back to single monitor mode. The only way to bring it back is to close out the program and reopen it. Does anyone know where it goes and how to make it visible?

MAINEEDIT
I have just set up for Premiere Elements 11 Dual Monitor Mode in Windows 8 64 bit computer.
How do you have your monitors set up...Extend Across.. or other?
I am not having any problems keeping track of what I believe you are referring to as the "Preview Window". So please excuse
if I double check with you via the following screenshot.
Preview Window which can be brought up
a. double clicking the file in Project Assets
b. double clicking the file on the Expert workspace Timeline
I am going to go over this one more time with my Premiere Elements 11 and Windows 8 64 bt computer to see
if I can create the situation that I am interpreting that you have.
Thanks.
ATR
Add On...This especially makes me ask....
When I reopen the program the preview window appears in its normal position.
The Preview Window is going to close when you save/close the project. As you saying that you re-opened the project
to find the Preview Window opened?

Acrobat XI Pro combine files window not visible

So I was trying to combine files into one pdf this morning, but Acrobat's window for doing so would not appear. I could minimize it, and see it down on the bottom of my dock, but when I tried to maximize it, it would disappear. (I'm on a Mac). Everything else on the app was working perfectly. I:
-checked all preferences
-tried to re-arrange window configurations
-made sure my 2nd monitor was up as it might have been last time I used the program
-opened pdfs and then tried to combine them
-quit and re-opened the application several times
-tried again to access the 'combine' window from every angle I could
-rebooted, then went through it all again
-went to adobe to check for updates. Application manager says Acrobat XI is up to date. Won't let me do anything.
So, I decided to uninstall it so I could start fresh and re-install. Uninstalled, went back to the Cloud. App manager says Acrobat XI is up to date, and still won't let me download or anything else.
Rebooted. Went back to the Cloud. Same thing again.
I would very much like to be able to use this app. I have things to do...

I figured out how to recreate the preferences and it fixed the problem. Here is how I did it:
Quit Acrobat
In Finder hold down "option" and open the "Go" menu. Pick "Library"
Open "Preferences" folder
Drag "com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist" to your desk top
Reopen Acrobat and try to merge 2 files
If it works you have solved your problem. Acrobat will replace the missing file with the default.
If it doesn't work you can drag the original folder back into "preferences" and keep trying to figure out what was wrong.
Part of the answer was in the Acrobat workspace instruction.

Firefox starts hidden (window not visible), but stays in process list. IE9, Opera, Chrome works just fine

Yesterday my Firefox 4 just stopped working. When I click on firefox icon - new process appears in task manager list, but I can't see firefox windows. After killing firefox.exe process I can start another one, but still no firefox windows are shown.
Tried to re-install (with deleted profiles and whole installation from Program Files folder). Tried 3.x and 4.x versions, no luck. This is no window focus problem (or it's position outside the desktop) - firefox.exe process starts, but no GUI objects are created (checked with sysinternals procexplorer)
Computer is well anti-malware and virus protected. Reinstalled newest NVIDIA drivers (WHQL), all updates from Windows Update. I've been reading that there was some prob. with NVIDIA drivers (9800GT), but this just happened suddenly - without new updates or installed programs - just during the day...

I'm having this same problem and here is how I got to this place. First, it doesn't happen every time. About 50% of boots will Firefox not work. (The process starts, but no window opens.) I have an SSD that is smallish... 64 GB running Windows 7. It is a machine I built myself. I have about 11 Gig free at any given time. I have a 2 Tb secondary drive where I keep my data and some, less used, programs. This is also where I keep my virtual machines (VM). I currently have 2 linux machines. Last night, I tried creating a Windows 7 (W7) virtual machine with an extra copy of W7 that I have. Well, I forgot to switch the target VM install area from my system disk to the secondary disk. When I realized what I had done, the install was almost finished and I had about 1 GB left. I worked to kill everything and delete the W7 VM. (That was a time consuming pain. PC was as slow as mud, which was to be expected, I guess.) So, after I got the W7 VM deleted everything seemed to be alright, until I tried to start Firefox and it wouldn't. Thunderbird 3 also won't start. As well as Norton Antivirus. I haven't tested any other programs; however, IE will start. As will Photoshop, Wiper.exe, CCleaner and Windows Media Player. I have my machine locked down; so, I'm confident it isn't a virus or malware. (I ran a full scan yesterday and this morning - when I got Norton to start.)
I'm not thinking this is directly a Firefox issue; however, any help would be appreciated. Heh, I don't have the time or the will to rebuild the software on this machine. I do have a backup, but I've never had much luck getting those to work properly.
Thanks for any help.

Safari - New Windows Not Visible

I'm having problems with Safari - when I try to open a new window, either by File>New Window or by clicking a webpage link which opens in a new window, the new window does not appear.
The windows are opening somewhere as they show in the list when clicking on the WIndow tab (although selecting them in the list does nothing, nor does clicking the mouse side buttons to show all windows).
When quitting Safari I get the multiple pages open message, i.e. "There are 27 windows open in Safari. Do you want to quit anyway?".
Reopening Safari solves the problem only for a short time, as does a Restart.
I have recently (after major iTunes and kernel panic issues) run DiskWarrior, replaced and tested additional RAM, and repaired disk permissions to no avail.
Any ideas?

Deleted the three files suggested - now, on opening Safari I cannot expand the Safari page to fill the screen width (after a certain point dragging across from the corner, the header bar disappears and the page will not expand further).
I still have exactly the same problem with opening new windows - they appear in the list, but I can't view them.

GuiXT window not visible

In GUIXT profile I have maintained the start window as hidden. Then I stopped seeing the GuiXT window.
Now I want to change it to "minimise" instead of "hidden". To do this I need to change the "Profile" again. But I do not see the GuiXT window. Can any body suggest how can I make the window appear again so I can change the settings ?
Any help is greatly appreciated .
Thanks

Hello Vince,
   look for the file guixt.ini under C:\Program files\SAP\Frontend\SAPgui (*). Open ir with notepad (or some text editor) and change
StartHidden     Yes
to
StartHidden     No
Close and restart your SAPgui to see the changes.
Cheers,
Michael
(*) the directory may vary, if the file isn't exactly there, search for it somewhere under C:\Program files\SAP\

HP Quality Center 10.00 Manual Runner window not visible?

Firstly, excuse me if i am in the wrong forum.
Using HP Quality Center 10.00, when i select Run, to run a test, the Manual Runner window does not appear? But you can see it sat on the Taskbar? And if i right-click on it, i have only two options - Move, Size. There is no Maximize option?Where is the Manual Runner window?
I have uninstalled the program and installed the explorer version, but still the same problem exists.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This issue is usually due to having multiple monitors, particularly when used with a laptop where the configuration can frequently change. For example, when at one location, the display settings are such that the laptop is on the left and the secondary monitor is on the right, but at another, the laptop is on the right and the secondary monitor on the left. Applications remember where windows were when last opened, so if the monitors are not configured in the expected order, the window may be "invisible" when next opened. What is actually happening is described in nathanielcoyle's response regarding the coordinates of the window.
The solution is to go to the Display settings under Control Panel and reverse the order of the monitors. It may alternately help to change which monitor is considered the main display (this is just a theoretical guess). If you use dual monitors at work but only have one (your laptop) at home, you're pretty much hosed until you get back to work or find another monitor to plug in. That is, of course, unless you happen to have your QC administrator on speed dial to implement nmailey's solution.
Preventive measure: Always bring windows back into your main display before closing them.

Properties window and Object Browser window not visible anywhere

Although "Properties" and "Object Browser" are ticked in the View menu, the windows do not appear anywhere on the screen (yes I have looked everywhere). The "Components" window appears as normal. It does not matter what Xcelsisus file I am working in, as the problem is the same even when I first launch Xcelsius. I was running Xcelsius Engage 2008 with Office 2003 and did not have this problem. I recently upgraded to Office 2007 and now I have this problem. I run the same software on my notebook without any problem. Very frustrating. Any ideas on how to fix the problem? Thanks JR

Hi JR,
This should be something simple. Please use the shortcut to get focus to :Object Browser" by pressing Ctrl+4, If you are unable to spot the object brower, it must be minimised eighter of the corner of Xcelsius window.
Use "Restore Dwon" button which will be at the right top corner (before Close Button) so that your Xcelsius window become smaller size. Try to find the border of the working window and make it smaller in all 4 sides using mouse. You will find the Object Browser, Property window somewhere.
Please revert if this does not helps you.
With best wishes
BaaRaa.

Edit audio window not visible in Captivate 5 for Mac

After putting closed captions into a project I went back to edit them and now the Edit Audio window doesn't appear at all. The captions and audio playback fine on preview. When I go to the Edit Audio window the rest of the application is disabled as if the window was open, but it doesn't appear anywhere. I've reset the workspace, rebooted, uninstalled and reinstaled, and created a new project, imported audio to a slide and still see no Edit window.

Also, I've downloaded a trial version of Captivate on a different computer and the same project file plays fine and I get the Edit Audio window and Closed Captions. But even with an uninstall and new download of Captivate on the old computer these are invisible in *all* projects on that computer. All settings at default. What local settings could be doing this on that computer? Other Captivate pop-up windows work fine.

Window not visible

Hi All:
I am trying to create a new application in WebDynPro ABAP
But i find no window to drag my newly created view into it.
Please suggest any solution
Regards:

Right click on your webdynpro component, create a window and embed your view into it. While creating your component, you would have probably missed specifying the window name.

Open windows not visible

I can open windows, for example the hard drive, or, documents, or downloads... but the open windows are only visable when I am switching from one desktop to another. I cannot get the open windows to stay in any open desktop. I use the "go" pull-down from the menu, I also try to "open in finder" from the dock.. nothing seems to work. Help?

I think I've seen this posted before but can't find the answer right now, I think it was to do with making sure that Finder is set to open in None:

Captivate 5.5 published files are not visible in Fire Fox or open in new window.

When I publish and post Captivate 5.5, the HTML or the swf files do not display in Fire Fox (latest version) without forcing the file to open in a new window (if it displays at all). If it does work, the Flash security blocks the swf on an ugly view until the user clicks.
I thought it was because I have to assign a direct URL to each component, but all of the other Captivate sites I have reviewed have the same issue when viewing in Fire Fox.
IE will display after the active x is authorized (I can live with that).
You Tube and other Flash display properly in Fire Fox, just not Captivate products.
I have disabled off all plugins, modified the protected settings, and everything I could find listed in the Fire Fox help. I have installed a previous version of Flash and Shockwave Player. Short of reinstalling windows, it is not working and that will not help because the published content is not visible on any other machine in the office or at home.
The files are in a Portal, so I cannot share them unless you are in the DoD and have an AKO or DKO account.
However, here is another example of the Captivate not working.
https://clc.dau.mil/games (this displays on some computers, but not all)
http://www.hartisd.net/pages/uploaded_files/Assignment_Search.mht (After allowing the mht, this displays in IE)
I am not sure if it has something to do with the other 2 published xml files that are not directly referenced in the html, but I just need either the swf or html to display in the iframe without forcing another window to display and without a lot of dependecy issues with other add-ons in Fire Fox.
- Thanks!

Any of the DAU games, if they display. It is a government site, so they have the standard gov garbage (stuff not working like certificates), but nothing is harmful nor can they do anything to track other than the current session.
It is kind of weird how the content is displayed... It is not an intranet, it goes to a limited access portal. When I store content, it uses an absolute path instead of relative path. Very aggrevating when using many of the tools for non-programmers (like me), and probably more aggrevating for programmers.
Whether I point directly to the .swf or to the generated HTML, the content displays in IE, but not in FF.
It may be a combination of FF and Captivate. FF seems rather flaky in dealing with swf files. There is the consideration for add-ons, but I tried on a newly imaged computer and it still was not working. Even after going through all of the FF steps to get it to work.
Basically we had to create a new HTML file to display the content because the Captivate published files don't work. However, the new HTML does not reference the XML files.
When I publish, I get 5 different files, .swf, .htm, .js, and 2 .xml. When I dig through the code (once again, not a programmer, soo I may be missing something), even round tripping to Flash, I do not see how the .xml files are referenced at all.
These may be different topics, not sure, it came up because I am trying to get a simple solution from the product that can be easily transferred to our production servers and available for Solders to access.
- Thanks

New folder is not visible inside my project but shows in Windows Explorer.

I created a new folder under another folder. The new folder is not visible inside my project but shows in Windows Explorer. Also, if I try to add another folder of that same name, it denies the action since the folder (although invisible) already exists. My co-worker can access the same file (on a share drive) and see the new folder just fine. This error occurs whether I was the one creating the new folder or she is the one creating the new folder. I am new to RoboHelp and she has used it for years. I suspect something is not yet set up right on my side. Ideas? (I thought I posted this yesterday but I can't find it anywhere)

Hi there
What version of RoboHelp are you using?
Did you create the folder from inside RoboHelp or did you create it using Windows Explorer?
Cheers... Rick

I am not able to see toolbars, when I open a new window that window is not visible, if I open from bookmarks and there is music playing I hear it but canNOT SEE the websites. I was able to get window open from the help "window" and open sites from there just not from new: window tab or bookmarks those stay invisible? I tried the help suggestions, safemode,etc.
