Minizing and Maximizing Windows in rapid succession

I didn't have this problem until I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1. How do I go back to windows 7. I can't even use my laptop at this point. Thanks.

I didn't have this problem
Didn't have what problem? Are you moving your mouse and seeing the Taskbar preview?
One significant difference between W7 and W8 is how the functionality that laptop
manufacturers have tried to apply to their machines Touchpads. The best alternative is to get a real mouse and use it instead, reserving the use of the Touchpad to times when you want to experiment with some
Touch emulation features. Otherwise, see if your Touchpad is at least recognized as a "Precision Touchpad"
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/touchpad
Then you may be able to make your Touchpad behave more like a normal mouse.

Openbox and maximized windows

Hi everyone... Im running Arch with openbox as my main DE. I really like it, but there is just one thing that make me angry. When i open an application (such as firefox or dolphin) its window appears covering almost the size of my screen. I have to maximize the window for just cover 2 or 3 pixels more.
I know that in rc.xml, i can define rules to make windows matching the some name, behave as i like (start maximized in this case). But is annoying (and innapropriate) to make one of these rules (matching name) for each application i'd like to start maximized.
I tried defining a rule, matching the tipe of window. I tought was fine, till a dialog box appeared. Its had the size of my entire screen (ugly for a dialog box).
If anybody can tell me which rule could match common applications, i'll be thankfull.
Best Regards Archers!

<application class="*">
<maximized>yes</maximized>
</application>
This will make all windows maximized by default, which I think is what you want.
EDIT: Actually, if you don't want dialogs to be maximized, try that, and this, I think:
<application type="dialog">
<maximized>no</maximized>
</application>

WHEN OPENING A FILE WITH FIREFOX MULTIPLE FILES KEEP OPENING IN RAPID SUCCESSION WITHOUT SHOWING ANY CONTENT AND THIS DOES NOT STOP AND I CANNOT SAY HOW MANY FILES I HAVE

THERE IS A PROBLEM IN OPENING ANY FILE. WHEN OPENING - A RAPID SUCCESSION OF FILES OPEN, ONE ATOP THE NEXT, WITHOUT SHOWING FILE'S CONTENT. THIS CONTINUES FOR QUITE A WHILE. I MUST TURN OFF COMPUTER. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CHOOSE ANY OTHER FUNCTION WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING, IE : WHEN OPENING A FILE. AS IN , I CANNOT OPEN GOOGLE OR MAIL, ETC. AND THE FILES KEEP OPENING AS UNTITLED. SO I AM NOT ABLE TO OPEN ANY ONE FILE, AND SEE ITS CONTENT, THEY JUST KEEP STACKING LIKE EMTY PAGES ONE ON TOP OF THE NEXT.

THANK YOU

I-Tunes 6.0 and Windows Saga ends Successfully

After having Itunes 4.9 for a while I determined why not upgrade to 6.0. Disaster - but it finally ended fine. Background - Have Windows XP SP2, and keep my songs on a separate harddrive than My Documents, My Music and Programs.
I-Tunes loaded but will not run
The problem here was that for some reason QuickTime was missing and some older files remainded someplace. I de-installed and manually cleared out all I-Tunes files as well as Quick Time. Be careful files tend to multiply on your hard disk. For me it was program files, in MY Music, and also as I Tunes Resource Help folder in My Documents. Then I emptied the recycler and defraged just in case. Load was successfull after all of this. Lesson 1: You need Quicktime. Lesson 2: Clear out old files.
I Tunes could not find my songs I nearly fell over as my 8518 songs were missing. Nope they were on my harddsick but I Tunes could not find them. I clearedout out the iTunes Library.itl and reloaded an older version. No joy. Importing or adding folder to libary just gave me duplicate files, and the ones I wanted (with my ratings, genre etc. could not be found. Problem was that for some reason the i Tunes Music folder (edit, preferences, advanced) was pointing to the wrong drive.I add new drives from time to time, and perhaps windows changed the designation or itunes got confused - I do not know which. I changed the folder location manualy in itunes, reloaded the itl older file. Still could not find the files (the dreaded ! next to the files) but when I clicked on the file it found it, now I needed to do that with 8518 files - no, no, no. I simply exited I-tunes and relaunched it. Success!!! Leason 3: Be sure I-Tunes is pointing to the right location, and be aware that location names change for drives that get added and deleted. Also I-Tunes is smart and re-launching can cause it to look again. Lesson 4: Avoid the whole add folder or importing, this never worked for me in past versions as it will find files but loose the user added information.
Final note, please back up your iTunes Libary.itl very regularly, of course your songs periodically. Note the file naming convention for older iTunes .itl is somewhat different
Good Luck. 6.0 is good and stable on XP Service Pack 2

I upgraded to iTunes 6 and I click on it and it gives me an error message, It won't let me delete quicktime either any suggestions?

Trying to connect a MacBook and a Windows Laptop through WRT54G - no success

I have a MacBook and a Windows XP Laptop and try to connect both through the WRT54G Wireless router which is connected to my DSL modem. The router serves as DHCP and allows 5 connections, using WPA as security.
I can be online with my Windows Laptop no problem, but when I try to connect with the MacBook it connects for a few minutes and then both get kicked off. The Laptop continues to show that it is connected to the wireless network, but I can't go to the internet anymore. The WLAN LED on the router stops being lit. Only way for reconnection is restarting the Router (unplug/replug).
When I go online with the MacBook ONLY through wireless or by cable to the router it gets connected, but stays online for 1-2 minutes only as well, then drops off.
The only way now for the MacBook to stay permanently online is to wire it to the DSL modem, but then I can not get online with the Windows Laptop.
I have browsed a number of online forums and tried the tips (different channel, I switched from WEP to WPA etc) but nothing has helped so far.
please help!
thanks, Michael

I resolved the problem !!! Apparently the MAC's had some software/firmware updates that needed to be installed. I installed the updates and am able to go on the internet wireless along with the PC's. I have not lost any connection since I downloaded and installed the updates. These updates included Airport Extreme 2007's which I think may have been the problem.

PRE11 -If not maximized, windows desktop corrupted

I have just installed the PRE11 Trial on a Wndows XP SP3 system and a Windows 7 system. On both I notice the same incorrect behaviour.   If run with the main PRE window so that it is not maximized, and then 'drag' the window around the desktop remnants of the PRE window are left behind concealing the desktop data that I was looking for.   The only way to correct this is to maximize PRE and then minimize it.
Has anyone else noticed this?

The video card is an Nvidia 7300GT at the latest driver updated yesterday. Although this may be at the lower end of what is needed for video editing, I have successfully generated several videos.
Let me repeat my observation that the error can be exhibited with an empty workspace, so PRE is not using ANY CPU at all. All other applications manage to get the window redraw correct.   Many years ago I was a programmer developing Windows GUI Applications, and these sort of issues used to occur because the application did not set the necessary indicators on the Windows API to cause a complete redraw after the window was resized.   Could the same be true for PRE?
Has anyone else tried reducing the size of the main PRE window, and then dragging the window around the desktop.
I would also observe that PSE 11 Preview works perfectly in this area, I can reduce the size of the main windo and drag around to no ill effect.

Adobe 9 always opens in a Maximized window

Hi
When opening a link in Internet Explorer 6 that opens a pdf, the pdf file opens in a maximized window. When clicking on a pdf file on the computer it will always open in a maximized window.
I have gone into the properties for Adobe and made sure that it is run in a Normal Window.
I have gone into edit > preferences and have not found any options where you can select whether to open in maximized window.
Is there a way to specifiy whether to open the files in a maximized window or, as in this case, to open the window in normal/restore down view.
Thank you
Charlotte

Charlotte,
I'm having the same problem using IE 8.
Did you ever get a resolution for this? I see no one ever responded to your post.

I am having a problem with pop pups and small windows with ads constantly opening up on my safari?? Thought that macs didn't get virus? this looks like one- any experts around? please help me fix it with your instructions? really don't know what to do...

Hi everyone,

I am not too sure if thats a virus or trojan.. I always thought that macs didn't get virus? this looks like one to me… any experts around? please help me fix it with your instructions? really don't know what to do... thanks

Those are not viruses. You have probably installed some malware:
The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

Open web page from URL iview in maximized window

Hi,
I would like to open a web page in a <b>maximized</b> browser window, using an URL iView.
I know how to open a window in a separate window, I just can't get it maximized.
N.B. I do <b>NOT</b> want to open in <b>fullscreen</b> mode, i.e. I want a title bar and menus.
Does anyone know how to do it?
I tried to play around with the "window function" property of the iView, but no luck so far. I can't specify a fixed width and height of the target window at design time, as these values may vary at runtime.
regards
Lothar

Hi Lothar,
Yes, That will require Java Coding, Its true. Basically what the problem here is that to maximize we are trying to fetch the Screen resolution dynamically through Portal that Portal is not allowing us. Thats why I feel that we should go for Java Programing, Create a Par, Deploy it in the server and then create iView for that.
For Creating the Abstract Portal Component for Opening a Maximized Window You should do following steps.
1. Open Your NWDS
2. Create a project ie Portal Application
3. Create Portal Object ie Abstract Portal Component.
Now here is the piece of code that may help you
          response.write("<SCRIPT language=javascript>");
          response.write("function onOpenWindow()");
          response.write("{");
          response.write("window.open('http://abc.com','windowName','width=screen.availWidth,height=screen.availHeight,resizable=yes')");
          response.write("}");
          response.write("</SCRIPT>");
          response.write("<a href = \"javascript:onOpenWindow()\">abc.com</a>");
Paste this code in doContent...
I think it may help you
Thanx & Regards

Resized partition using Disk Utility and now Windows 7 will not boot

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me!!
I had previously used Boot Camp to install Windows 7. However, I later realised I had not given myself anywhere near enough disk space as I started using Windows for things I hadn't originally planned on using it for.
Anyway, long story short, to solve the problem I uninstalled some applications on my Mac OSX and used Disk Utility to decrease the size of my Mac partition. My plan was then to reboot to Windows and use a Windows application to increase the size of the Windows partition. However - I coudln't even get that far.
Upon decreasing the size of my Mac partition (succesfully) I restarted my Mac in order to boot to Windows. However, I was greeted with a message along the lines of "unable to boot to Windows please insert boot disk and press any key" (I can't remember the exact message).
I was wondering if anyone knows of any way to restore my Windows partition, retaining all of my previously saved files on my Windows disk. It's probably a long shot, but the thought of losing everything I have been working on for the last few months is a sickening one.
What does give me a bit of hope is that, if I click Boot Camp it seems to recognise that Windows 7 is installed as the option that appears is to uninstall it.
Furthermore, if I view partitions in Disk Utility, a "DISK0S4" is listed. However, it's only at 20gb - if this WAS my BootCamp partition previously, it was originally at something around 60gb (I think - either way, definitely bigger than 20gb!).
On top of this, my current Macintosh HD parition is at 260gb and with the DISK0S4 partition at 20.21gb, there seems to be some space missing... I'm hoping this is the files I've been working on over the last few months!
Anyway, I've done some searching on the net and it *seems* that GPT fdisk *might* be my savour. I've downloaded it but have no idea how to use it and don't plan on playing about with it as I could no doubt do some real damage. If it is likely to solve my problem however, I'm certainly more than capable of being walked through what I need to do.
Please help!

Hi Christopher,
I also have problems with Windows rebooting after partition resize trying to reduce Mac side and increase Windows side. I do not see the BootCamp partition labelled as such while running disk utility. The Windows partition shows up when I boot up while pressing the ALT key. However, when I try to run Windows, it says " error loading operatig system".
I also followed instruction and went through to run gdisk successfully. Results towards the end.
What can be done? Windows still does not boot and It shows ? Suspicious MBR at sector 0.
