M40-237: small lines from top to bottom on the screen

I have installed DirectX 9c Feb 2006.
When I'm Trying to play a game , in the center of the screen there are small horz. lines from top to bottom.
How can I solve this problem ?
Thanxs.

Hi
Before you try to solve it you must find out why this happen. As far as I know this unit is delivered with DirectX V9.0C. Did you have this problem before latest DirectX installation?
Are those lines there just when you start the game or all the time?

My iPhone 3G has a dark verticle line from top to bottom on the screen and no home screen, why , and what do I do to fix it?

As stated above, it is also fully charged and I reset it by holding down home and top button. This is my old phone and was given to my nephew to use as a iPod to play games. It is not being used as a phone, I have the five. He showed it to me on FaceTime and it originally had several stripes about one quarter inch wide, grey and dark grey and verticle top to bottom. After I had him reboot it by holding down the two buttons, it just has one stripe down the middle vertically. Is it dead? It's way out of Apple Care. Also he says the home key doesn't work but he activated some other " button" that appears on the screen and acts like the home key. I have no idea what this is. Thanks for any help. Jon

"What is this from and how do I get rid of it?"
Such symptoms bode serious hardware issues and you shouldn't think about fixing it yourself when you are still in waranty. Get to an Apple Store, like the other poster suggests.

When viewing netflix on firefox, a gap of about an inch from top to bottom of the screen is present when going to fullscreen.

Youtube, other flash players, and media players works fine full screen. IE plays netflix fine. The laptop is new, HP Pavilion dv6. All audio and video drivers have been updated. Firefox and ms silverlight updated. Tried un-installing and re-installing silverlight. The following link has pictures in the first post of exactly what I'm experiencing. http://www.hv20.com/showthread.php?43957-HP-Laptop-Full-Screen-Issue

I agree, but as netflix plays fine full screen in IE, there is a problem with how Silverlight is working with firefox. It acts as if it is occupying the full screen (no parts cut out) but there is still that annoying gap. I'm wondering if anybody else has come across this problem, or more importantly, a way to fix it.

My PC has blue screened twice in the past week so I force quit it it came back on a few times after that it is now grey screening with inch wide blue lines from top to bottom the apple logo is there and it is trying to boot up but nothing happening

My Mac has blue screened a couple of times this week it started to work a couple of times after that but now it is grey screening with inch wide blue lines from top to bottom the apple logo is also there it is trying to boot up again but won't. Not sure don't know anything about how to fix things but I suspect the fan has stopped working as I can't hear one. The problem I have I now live in Turkey and I am 1000 km from the nearest apple shop which is in Istanbul I believe and I now live in Didim, Altinkum I don't trust the everyday Turkish shop to take it to as they will tell you they know how to fix it but will probably make it worse, typical in Turkey. Please can someone help as we use it for our business and obviously I need it up and running ASAP I am using IPad and iPhone at moment but can't access my files which are on PC.

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

When I try to drag and drop to combine events in iPhoto, the drag accelerates out of control when it reaches the top or bottom of the screen. How can I slow it down?

Album overview
A photo album in iPhoto is just like one you would create with printed photos: It’s a collection of photos you select from your library and arrange in the order you want.
You can create photo albums to:
Focus on a particular subject, such as your favorite nature photos
Group pictures that you want to send to a friend, post on a webpage, or burn to a CD or DVD
Gather a decade of anniversary photos
iPhoto has two kinds of photo albums:
Standard photo albums: You create these albums (B, shown below) by selecting particular photos. You can add new photos by dragging them to the album (or using the Add To button), and you can remove photos at any time. All adding and removing is done manually; iPhoto doesn’t update standard albums automatically as you import new photos.
Smart Albums: iPhoto creates these albums for you, based on criteria your specify. iPhoto then updates Smart Albums (A, shown above) for you as your library changes. For example, you could create a Smart Album containing:
Photos of specific people, such as your family members. As you import new photos, iPhoto uses Faces to detect your family members, and automatically adds new photos of them to the Smart Album (after you’ve confirmed the matches in Faces).
All the photos of your daughter taken on school field trips in third grade. Use Faces (to name your daughter) and keywords (to mark certain photos or events as “field trips”) to help specify the photos you want iPhoto to place in that Smart Album.
Only photos taken with a specific camera, or photos matching other Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) information.
You can make as many albums as you like, and you can include the same photo in several albums without making multiple copies of it.
After you create an album, such as “Australia Adventures,” it appears in your Source list below Albums.
In full-screen view, the album appears as a stack of photos below Albums.
To further organize your library, you can group several albums (along with slideshows and projects) into a folder. For example, you could create a folder containing several years of birthday albums or a collection of albums with photos of your camping trips.
To create a folder, see “Create a folder in the Source list and move items into it” in “Customize the Source list”.
Folders appear only in the Source list, not in full-screen view.
Note: A photo album is different from a photo book, which is a collection of photos you create to get professionally printed and bound. See this topic: Photo book overview.

Ghosting from top and bottom of the workspace edges when moving around workspace?

When I move around the workspace dark grey slightly transparent bars appear to be ghosting from the top and bottom of the workspace. If I move so they go off screen they disappear but more are made as I move around. Tried restarting Illustrator and my laptop, I have the newest version of Illustrator CC.
*Update - It appears to only happen in my one file, when an image I'm drawing over is put on a lower opacity. If I have it opaque there's no weird line ghosting, but as soon as I make it more transparent the lines start appearing.

All I am doing is the following:
import my mov file that is 1024 x 820
create a sequence that is 1024 x 768
export the sequence
I made a video showing the steps (very boring, sorry).
I'm sure there is something simple I'm missing. i'm 99% sure my result is wrong from the looks of it in the movie player.
here is the video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5wjs8p3v0sjh8uv/livewriterdemo_fromcamtasia_final.mov

In the current screen keyboard shortcuts, it says you can use "home" and "end" to go to the top and bottom of the screen. But it only works if I use Cntrl. Why?

I am not using Firefox 20 on a new Sony Tap 20 with a wireless VAIO keyboard. All other keyboard shortcuts appear to work as usual. With my old computer, I did not have to hit cntrl to use home and end. (And yes -- I checked -- my num lock key is off.

Left & Right Margin from Top to Bottom

Friends,
I want Left & Right Margin (Line) from top to bottom even if there is a single item in the Repetitive area. Problem is that when there are less items there is always a gap between Repetitive Area/End of Report & Footer.
Regards,
Uday Shankar

Hi,
We have also tried to the same requirement. But we can't.
Only one thing we can do is, the end report can be set at the bottom with the property of "Align to bottom". But the Horizonal, vertical lines and grid not fills from the last item to end of report beginning.
I think this is most required to view the document perfectly or neatly.
Particularly in indian localization this is the must since the customer need to be declared the specific neat format to the legal departments.
Hope SAP Support should solve the issue. But I am wondering this question has been posted many times by many people but unfotunately nobody I think get the solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Venkatesan G.

X220 dead pixels from top to bottom

I have had my X220 Tablet for 18 months (purchased November 2011), my one year warranty expired (received no notification it was going to expire back in Nov 2012) but had no problems at all during these 18 months.
Now, I just turned it on today (July 3rd, 2013) and had a vertical blu-green line from top to bottom at 18.5mm from the left side of the screen. I figure a whole line of pixels of one color (red) had gone off, so it is not a single pixel, it is a whole line.
I use this convertible tablet about 20% of my time, my workhorse is provided by my workplace (a Dell convertible tablet). So I was surprised that with so little use the screen has gone bad so soon, and just six months after warranty has expired, and it seems it may get worse.
I also thought when I purchased it that the screen was LED, then found that it is a LCD with a LED backlight.
Is the only solution to replace the IPS screen (it's has a multitouch panel)? or is there a software or BIOS solution?
And if the solution is the replacemente, approximately how much the replacement screen costs?
Any help, suggestions are appreciated.

Welcome to the forum!
The LCD panel will have to be replaced, I'm sorry to say.
Good luck.

Thin horizontal distorting lines on top and bottom of screen

Hi,
I've got a g3 imac (600mhz Snow, 10.2), it's a friends actually, he brought it over to see if I could help him out. It apparently came on gradually, but now, the top and bottom of the screen is obliterated by horizontal lines, rapidly oscillating, side to side. I'm going to try an external monitor later in the week, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. The lines at the very top calm down after ten minutes or so, but the dock at the bottom of the screen is completely distorted, it's only the middle third of the screen that remains only slightly jittery.
ANy help, as ever, would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Kev.

Sounds like a hardware problem. Attaching the external display will show if the problem is in the CRT itself, or in the analog video hardware. Since the problem gradually because worse over time, it doubt that it is related to software. Trying the PRAM battery replacement was a good idea, even if it wasn't the problem. If you haven't done it, you can do a reset of PRAM during startup.

However, I think it's either the CRT or the analog video hardware going bad.

I just jazzed up my 2 Ghz iMac with 10.6.8, and 4 gigs of memory. I'm VERY happy with the results (fast!), but now I have a thin yellow line way over on the right side of the screen, which goes from top to bottom. This is really strange! Any input?

I'm VERY happy with the results (fast!). However, the really strange thing is this - there is now a thin yellow line, way over on the right side of the screen, which goes from top to bottom, and stays there no matter where I go or what I do. I've never seen anything like this! It was not there before I did the upgrades. Anyone out there ever heard of such a preposterous thing ~ or have any ideas on how to get rid of it?

Hello Mark,
It's going to mean a lot of reading but you should study the 'More like this' legend to your post's immediate right. >>>>>>>> plus some of the links within each.
The problem is well explored with much guidance on what to do and where to go.

I have an imac, intel 2 duo. OS 10.6.8. Suddenly my desktop is showing two thin lines running from top to bottom, each about 2" from either side. How can I get rid of them?

That's strange...
Resetting PRAM might help: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
If that doesn't help, I'd recommend contacting AppleCare.
it seem to be lcd problem

2 vertical lines, running from top to bottom, have appeared on my screen

2 vertical lines, running from top to bottom, have suddenly appeared on my screen. On a white back ground they appear blue and green. they have a wide space between them. I switched off and on but they are still there. Whats happening?

You don't say what model Mac you have (iMac I assume) or OS version, but it's probably an LCD problem. Do you have access to another monitor? If it doesn't show up on the external monitor, it's your iMac monitor and not the video card. If it shows up on the external, it's the video card. Do you have AppleCare?

Reading PDF reports from Top to Bottom instead of from left to right in WS

When viewing a PDF Report in workspace and you choose next page, it goes left to right then down to the next section left to right when you have multiple members in the column. Is there a way to change this so that the view goes top to bottom for the first member then moves right and does the same for the other members. I thought I once saw a setting for this.
