Making those window pane bars go away

I'm sure that is the dumbest question to date, 'cause I'm sure it's obvious to everyone else, but I haven't been able to find the answer anywhere.
Here's the deal: I got a psd file with several layers in it from another person. I have successfully worked with it in the past with no problem. Tonight, when I went work with it, I find window panes separated by multicolored bars obscuring parts of the image as I try to work with it.
I've looked everywhere for help about panes and/or bars, but nothing comes up. I've looked at all the preferences, but none seems to apply. The various view options don't seem to have any effect.
The bars show up in "standard edit," and in the "before" view of "quick fix," but sometimes, when I work in "quick fix" mode, they also show up in the "after" view.
How do I make those pesky bars go away so I can see what I'm working with?
Ken
PS: Might this have something to do with the fact that I'm now working with Vista?

I was trying to run Photoshop Elements 3.0 on my new Vista PC. I decided to download and install PSE 5.0. This was anything but a trouble-free installation, but when I finally got it running the bars went away.
While I was trying to get PSE to work under Vista, I discovered that there is a plug-in available for Paint.net that allows it to handle photoshop's PSD files. I installed the plug-in and found that Paint.net handles the PSD files I have been working with just fine.
Given that Paint.net is free and has always worked perfectly with Vista, I've given up PSE in favor of Paint.net. PSE is too troublesome, too complex and too costly for me.

  • Placing a hatched or window pane effect on a photo in the album

    Iam in the middle of making an album as a gift, one of the photos was placed with a window pane effect on it, I know how to remove it, but would like to place that same effect on a different photo in the album. Unable to find out how to do it.  Tjank you for your help.

    What version of iPhoto? I assume you mean you're making a book, right?  Can you take a screenshot of the photo with the effect and post it (use the camera button in the tool bar).  What does the photo look like back in its Event?  I don't know what you mean by a window effect but it might be one of the Effects options in the Edit mode
    Select the photo in it's Event and use the Photos ➙ Revert to Original menu option if it's not grayed out.  That will remove any edit done in iPhoto.

  • Sometimes a Firefox window top bar goes weird, and the window controls at extreme top right disappear.

    Sometimes, after its been going quite a long time. a Firefox window top bar goes weird, and the window controls at extreme top right disappear, making it impossible to resize or close the window. The only solution I have found is to individually move the tabs to a new window. The original (bad) one then disappears as soon as the final tab is shifted.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Invisble child window pane

    Hi,
            I'm currently doing a project which has parent and child vi concept. When i was searching for few examples related to the concept, i came across this example. In this example i'm not able to drag if the window pane is invisble, meaning the child window disappears. With window pane visible i could drag. So how could i solve this problem? Is it possible drag without window pane for child vi?

    Under very few circumstances would I ever have more then one event structure in one VI.  You have two, and one is inside another...inside a while loop.  I would recommend avoiding having more then one event structure, and just handle all events in one, keeping previous data in the shift register.
    Also regarding moving windows without a title bar and child/parent windows.  Here is a proof of concept I made a while ago that puts children windows into a parent window and the children can be moved and resized as a child, or made a floating window.

  • Mail won't display the trash can on the left hand window pane

    Hello:
    I have just re-formatted an older Mac Mini using the version of Panther that was bundled with the machine.
    Yesterday, Mail was launched, the account was re-created and the user's email came in without a problem.
    Today, she noticed that there is no trash can icon in the left hand window pane. Can anyone tell me how to get this icon in plain view or re-install if it's disappeared?
    The user tried making a folder called "Trash" but it yielded no results.

    Is this an IMAP or POP3 account?
    Have her try this...
    Right click or Control+click on an eMail she wants in the Trash, go down to Move to... then select Trash which there may be 2 of... see if that creates it.

  • ITunes disables my Windows sounds and takes away the volume control

    I have searched and found no answer to this- others have posted this same question.
    I installed itunes and it removed my volume control from the task bar. It disabled my Windows sounds and took away the volume control from the System Tray next to clock. My media buttons no longer affect the volume either. I have to go into control panel to change my system volume.
    At first- it only happened when my daughter would plug in her iPod and use iTunes, and then after we'd reboot the computer, the volume control would come back and no longer be disabled. Each time she used iTunes, it would happen again. Then a computer restart would bring it back. Now all of a sudden, nothing brings it back. I have to go about 4-5 screens deep into Control Panel to adjust the volume there. This is ridiculous and an absolutely unacceptable side effect of iTunes.
    Does someone have an answer or do we need to delete iTunes and never again buy a crappy apple product?
    Message was edited by: sjs.chowchow

    Figured it out!
    Go to Control Panel -> Sound
    In the “Playback” tab, click on your Speakers to highlight it, then click Properties. In the “Advanced” tab, under “Exclusive Mode”, uncheck the box that says “Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device”. I restarted my computer after that, but I am not sure if you need to.
    Then you can go to your taskbar and right-click and choose “Properties”. In the “Notification Area” tab, under System icons, “Volume” is no longer grayed out and you can now check the box to make it show up down near your clock again.

  • Print dialog window does not go away

    Hi,
    This is an issue I've experienced many times. When I try to print a web page from Safari, the print dialog opens, I select the printer and/or orientation, then I click on the "OK" button. But, the window does not respond, Safari seems to be working (it does not appear as 'not responding' in the 'force quit' dialog and the menus are selectable. But the window does not go away, nothing is sent to the printer, and Safari does not respond to certain operations such as moving to another tab, go back, or change the url, so basically I am stuck, no printing, and end up closing safari to open it again.

    Hello mario:
    Is this an intermittent problem, or does it happen all the time? I would, at a minimum, run repair disk from your software install DVD and also run permission repair from your HD.
    I would also trash the Safari preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart.
    Of course, the problem could lie in the connectivity with your printer, but that is another issue.

  • Windows Task Bar Icon (Access 2013)

    This is my first database I created from scratch in Access 2013, and I am not sure how to change my Windows Task Bar Icon use the Application Icon.  Not a huge deal, but to keep consistency between my systems, it would be nice to resolve.  
    How does one get Access 2013 to use the Application Icon to show in the Windows Task Bar when the program is launched?

    Hi Mark,
    >> it wasn't a big issue, it is just by assigning an Icon in Access 2010, the application magically had that same icon on the task bar showing open programs.<<
    Based on my test, the icon in Windows Task Bar will not change after I assign an icon for Access 2010. I tested in Access 2010 on Windows 7, here is the screenshot for your reference:

  • Windows task bar locks when .vi is running

    The Windows task bar locks when the .vi is running.
    How do I enable the windows task bar so I can multi-task when my .vi is running? Is this new with LabVIEW7?

    Thanks Allen, I thought you may have had the answer as I do have a clock function running all the time, but I have a delay in that loop. I figured out what is going wrong. If I maximize the .vi, then the task bar will not function when the .vi is running. So, I did not maximize the .vi, and chose 'Size the front panel to the width and height of the entire screen' on the Window Size category under vi properties, and the task bar now works when the .vi is running. I feel that I should be able to have the front panel maximized, and still use the task bar. I do have 'Always on top' selected in my Start/Settings/Taskbar options. Thanks!

  • Hiding windows task bar

    I am working on a custom TS operator interface written in CVI 5.5. I am trying to hide the windows task bar. I have used
    SetPanelAttribute (panel, ATTR_SYSTEM_MENU_VISIBLE, 0);
    and this works, except that when my modelsupport DLL puts a popup on the screen, the taskbar becomes visible again while the popup is present. How can I stop this?

    Hi Byron,
    I have tried to reproduce the problem you are describing and it seems to work fine for me. One thing I am somewhat confused by is that you say you used the SetPanelAttribute call to hide the "windows taskbar". I believe you are actually talking about the "system menu" that is accessed via the icon on the left side of a window's title bar, as the "windows task bar" is actually the floating menu bar displayed at the bottom of the Window's desktop and contains the infamous Start menu.
    Anyhow, I have created an example TS 2.0.1 sequence file that calls a CVI dll which spawns a new thread and displays a panel that has the system menu hidden. If you run the sequence you will see that when the modelsupport.dll displays the modal UUT serial number dialo
    g and pass/fail banner dialogs, it does not change the visibility of the system menu displayed by the CVI dll UI. (the reason I create new threads to display the dialog is so that the call to the dll does not wait on RunUserInterface to complete and returns execution to the sequence file immediately).
    **Note: The dll project was created in CVI 6.0, and the sequence file in TS 2.0.1, please state what versions of CVI and TS you are using if you want help with a specific version. You do not need TS 2.0.1 to use the dll I created, just simply call the lone function in the dll in a sequence file with the CVI adapter and run the file with Test UUTs in whatever version of TS you have. Since the dll was created in CVI 6.0 you may need to install the CVI 6.0 RTE, which is available on ni.com under the downloads section, and it is fully compatible with previous versions of CVI.
    So, just give this a shot to see if you can discern anything from it.

  • Duo monitor and windows task bar...

    Hi, i have two monitors. And now here is my question/problem, when i watch videos or live streams(main monitor) i usually have another page for browsing open on my 2nd monitor and i stay on that page while watching live stream at the same time. However the windows task bar wont disappear and it remains and over-laps the bottom part of my main monitor. Is there any way to change this or perhaps theres no hope?

    Hi,
    if my understanding is correct your issue is more related to primary/secondary monitor setting in Windows. Please note that when in extended mode the taskbar will normally be only shown on the primary monitor.
    The Windows taskbar will disappear when you use FF in fullscreen mode (F11) which you may find useful when streaming video from web.
    Hope it helps

  • Firefox 5.0 on Windows 7 jumpy, window title bar pops in and out, window resizes.

    Question pretty much sums it up. Windows Title bar keeps flitting in and out, causing screen to jump. Concurrently, right and bottom window margins resize a bit smaller. No apparent rhyme or reason, but leads to a lot of bad mouse clicks. Unrelated to whether the bookmarks tab is open or not. Happens in safemode as well, and my theme is the default. I don't want a plug-in to fix this, I want Firefox 5.0 to behave properly on its own.

    The Views menu is only meant to view bookmarks in a different sort order (hence the name of that menu). It doesn't have any lasting effects.

  • How to forbid window title bar to be draged?

    If a top level vi has the window title bar,how to forbid user to drag the title bar to change window's position?
    P.S. vi's property "Allow user to resize window" has been forbidden.
    LabVIEW 8.6

    Unfortunately, the LabVIEW event structure does not provide an event like "Panel Move" or a similiar stuff.
    I think, you have two different options:
    a) Either use the event structure -> timeout case to set (if necessary) every Xms with the invoke method "Front Panel.Runtime Position.Custom" the position of the VI.
    b) Probably you find an appropriate function in the attached zip file
