Need DVD disk root window to show a background picture. How?

Please forgive me.. but I've searched for an answer and can't seem to find one. I created a DVD for a town to be used in DVD players. I also included on the DVD an Extras folder that has a web site and pdf's. What I want to do to polish it off is to insert a picture into the window that opens when the user opens the DVD in their computer, a background picture with the window in icon view. I've seen this done with other DVD's like "Call of Duty 2" installation DVD. Is there a way I can do this for my DVD? will this work for viewing on Windows PC's? Any help is appreciated!

Thanks again. I'm not going to give up just yet.. I think I read somewhere that the window settings for each window is stored in an invisible file called ".DS_Store". I sure every folder, disk image, volume etc.. has one.
When I made reference to "Call of Duty 2", when I insert the DVD into my computer and click on the disk to open it, the resulting window has a picture in the background and a folder that contains the game to place in the applications folder. The HIDDEN files (invisible) include the ".DS_Store" file and interestingly enough .. the background image that is being displayed.
What I've tried so far was to create a disk image in iDVD of my project. I then opened that .dmg file and copied the contents to a regular folder. (just the visible files). I then customized the new folder view options with a background picture and included the picture used in the same folder. I logged out of my account.. logged back in, opened the folder and it presented me with the background picture I wanted.
I then went to DiskUtility, and created a .dmg file of my new folder. But when I opened up the newly created .DMG file, it lost its customized window settings. No more background picture.. even though the picture file was still included.
My DVD project works when inserted into a regular DVD player. I've included extra material on the disk that is accessible when the DVD in used in a computer. This is when I want the background picture to show up. Just a little extra polish for my project.
Whaddya think "F Shippey"?? Should I give up? or keep looking??
Thanks for all your help thus far.. Much appreciated!

Hi @Metwally
Thank you for your query.
I grasp that you had your notebook repaired and they formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows 8 pro, but you lost the recovery options.
You would like to return your notebook back to its factory settings. You will need to contact HP support and inquire about acquiring a recovery kit for your notebook.

Satellite Pro A300-2CW - Need Recovery disks with Windows XP

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 2CW. I bought it with Software Windows XP (included in a CD), which worked perfectly for years. I have reinstalled it several times during this years, but now the CD has deteriorated and it doesn't work anymore.
Originally the machine had WIndows Vista installed with DVD recovery creation option and a HDD recovery option, but I think this is not possible for Windows XP.
Do I have any options?Where could I buy the original Windows XP CD?
Thank you

Hi
You can try to order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
Other way you can install own WXP version. All WXP drivers, tools ad utilities can be downloaded from Toshiba download page http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

dv2915nr cd/dvd drive doesn't recognize when disk in. drive doesnt show up in device manager.

Hi,
Here's one option you could try as it will give a good indication whether the problem is with Windows or a Hardware issue with the optical drive itself.
Create a bootable Ubuntu CD
The Ubuntu CD you create should run as you boot the notebook ( ie outside of Windows operating system ), so if this will not run, the problem is almost certainly a Hardware issue with the DVD drive
On another PC, follow the procedure on the link below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in Part 3 to 'Try it' to see if this OS will run from the CD. The 'try it' option does not need to install on the Hard Drive, it just runs from the CD.
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
Let me know if this will run.

Multisession data DVD burned on windows don't show the folders on Mac.

Hi,
I think that is a well discussed thread but I weren't able to find anything at this concern on google and this forum.
I've burned a multisession data DVD on Nero (windows XP). That DVD already have files burned and is multisession. After burn it, the folder that I'd copied on PC don't show up on Mac. Is there a way to burn that files on windows that can be recognised on a Mac? Is this a question of burn format? The parameters of copy on Nero was keep as default.
Thanks in advance.

It seems like Mac OS X doesn't support multisession-burnt DVDs, no matter how you put them together. In the best case, you'll only be able to see the first session. Finalizing DVDs has no impact on Mac OS X ability to read them completely.
I learnt it the hard way when switching from Ubuntu to Mac OS X, while on the first, Nero-burnt DVDs would read flawlessly, finalized or not. I ended up being forced to burn back around 120 DVDs in one session in Nero.
So far, Apple doesn't seem to have any plan in supporting multisession DVD burning and reading in OS X. As they have a tendancy to ditch obsolete technology sooner than others, I wouldn't hold my breath on it. On a personal level, this lack of support has made my hard drive space needs skyrocket, as I'm no longer able to incrementally burn DVDs, as I always did in Windows and Ubuntu.
Hope that helps.

You may need a 3rd party application to view the DVD in a wWindows format such as

Go to

Click on the 'Keyboard' tab and hit the 'modifier keys...' button. You can see and change the defaults there.
As I'm not sure if all the labels are the same in Lion, he's a screenshot from Snow Leopard. It should be similar enough:

Help - iPod does not show up in iTunes or as disk in Windows Explorer

Would someone PLEASE tell me how to get my iPod to show up in iTunes or as disk in Windows Explorer?
According to our PC XP computers, we do not have an ipod and it won't charge when plugged into USB. It worked fine for 10 months until this morning (10/26/06). We have ruled out bad USB drive by using flash drive on that USB and it worked fine. Reseting ipod does not work (ipod does not respond to reset command hold toggle then hold menu + play for up to 10 sec). Reseting ipod within ipod menu does nothing. ANY suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks.

I have the same problem with my brand new 2 GB. I have reloaded software, gone through the "5 R's", tried the ipod on my PC and on my laptop -- neither computer recognizes or charges the ipod. Any info greatly appreciated.

Is there an instruction sheet detailing how to install Photoshop Elements 13 (from a DVD disk), on a Windows 8.1 computer, and if so, where do I find it

Is there an instruction sheet detailing how to install Photoshop Elements 13 (from a DVD disk), on a Windows 8.1 computer, and if so, where do I find it?

Googled for an instruction sheet. Got the following.
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/install-pse.html
and
https;//helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-installation-errors.html
(Don't know why the second one didn't turn into a link, that's the url that printed out at the bottom of the page)
In any case it doesn't matter. I returned it to the store where I bought it.
Rule #1; Don't use a product if the people who produce that product (software, hardware, etc.) don't properly support it.
User forums and\or chat lines, are useful and may help. But! They do not constitute proper support (not for installation purposes anyway).

My iMac, OS 10.7.5, is abnormally slow on start-up, taking many minutes for my password sign-in window to show up. I've run Disk Permissions and have verified my hard drive and all is in order. What do I do to start up my Mac in a normal manner?

My iMac, OS 10.7.5, is abnormally slow on start-up, taking many minutes for my password sign-in window to show up. I've run Disk Permissions and have verified my hard drive and all is in order. What do I do to start up my Mac in a normal manner?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

The answers are in the details, and you have not given us enough details to help you.
Right now I am guessing at what you seek. Are you trying to use your HP Touch Screen to do your
Premiere Elements importing, editing, and exporting and the Touch Screen movements are not working
to do what you want to do in Premiere Elements?
Have you configured the HP computer Touch Screen? Using the Touch Screen, what cannot you do
that you can do with the mouse?
HP Support document - HP Support Center
If I am guessing correctly here, does the mouse work instead of the Touch Screen to allow you to
work in the program.
I suspect that Premiere Elements does not support Touch Screen and you will end up using a mouse, but I would need to do more homework on
that.
This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. If you are dealing with the current version, 13, you might want to contact
Adobe about the matter. More on that later, once you confirm the above or let me know that I have completely
misinterpreted your question/concern.

If you want to, but you can get Windows for less than that.

I'm looking to use Bootcamp on my iMac 24". If I download Windows 7 from the Windows website, can I properly install it to my Mac? Do I need the disks instead?

I'm looking to use Bootcamp on my iMac 24". If I download Windows 7 from the Windows website, can I properly install it to my Mac? Do I need the disks instead?
I'm hoping to download it from their website because I can pay $30 for the student discount instead of $119...

When burning the .iso file to a disc restrict the burn-speed to 2x
Otherwise the disc will most likely not work.
It's a common phenomenon on Macs.

Blackberry doesnt show as Removable Disk on Windows

Hi Everyone,
It's my first time to post. Just to give you a background, I recently acquired a BB 8900 (v4.6.1.310 (Platform 4.2.0.127)).
I just want to say that i really love this phone. I probably won't be buying any other phone outside BB. If ever I'm upgrading, I'll just get another BB!
Well, I am encountering a problem whenever I try connecting my BB to my PC at work. To give you guys a background I don't have the DESKTOP manager on my work PC, my friend says it's not necessary to access the MicroSD card especially when I just plan on using it like a flash disk.
But whenever I try connecting it what pops out are windows for me to install a two hard drives (Blackberry and RIM Device). I cancel them both but my BB doesn't show as a removable disk on windows.
I've been reading on the pages and I have the Media Card Support: ON, Mass Media Storage: ON and Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected: YES.
Can anyone help me out regarding this matter? I'd like to use my BB as my flashdisk also whenever I'm going out so I can just have one place to store my presentations and spreadsheets.
I have a colleague here that has the same phone yet he seems to be having no problems on his end, he can access his BB like a flash disk drive.
Anyone's help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
realspenz

Sounds like Windows is behaving perfectly normally by auto detecting your Blackberry when you connect it to the PC,
and just like any other USB device that is connected for the first time, Windows has to instal the drivers for it.
This is not the same as installing the Blackberry Desktop software.
On connecting you say you cancel the Windows message about installing two hard drives -
Have you tried allowing this to run and let Windows instal them ?
If you do you will probably find that the computer will then recognise the Blackberry,
and the memory card in it, and will allow you to access it as you would like.
