Opening New Window (Word, Outlook) Stays Minimized, Blinking in TaskBar

We are migrating to Office 2007, and have found the following. If we already have an existing word document open, minimized to the taskbar, and then we go to a web page and click on a url of a word document, then word icon on the taskbar starts to blink and stays that way, never opening the new window we clicked on, until we un-minimize the existing word icon already present on our taskbar. Once we maximize/open that window, the new window we clicked on opens immediately.
I have been told that the same thing also occurs in Outlook 2007, when we have an existing window (meeting, message, etc.) open. From what it looks like, it is only related to VBA code and/or clicking on a link. But if I double click on another file stored on my local pc or my network share, even though word is already minimized, it still opens the new document for me automatically, without me even having to do a thing.
I saw this was mentioned a while back as a problem with IE7 and Office 2003 after a hotfix. Our environment is Windows 7, IE8, and Office 2007.
Thanks,
Reuv

I found a solution after much troubleshooting including uninstalling/reinstalling Office 2010 which didn't solve the issue.
Here it is:
When Outlook or some other Office program is minimized in the taskbar and won't open, right click the taskbar to bring up task manager.
Right click the program in the task manager list that is giving trouble and click Maximize. You should now see a full screen.
This worked for me and solved the "open and stays minimized" delima. Hope this helps you too. Cheers :)
Thanks a bunch this saved me a potential headache!

My Setting won't stay! (open new windows in a new tab instead)

I m currently using Firefox 5.0 Korean version.
Everytime i un-check the "open new windows in a new tab instead" option, after a while, it gets checked again somehow.
I tried clearing cookies and un-installing all the addons, but it keeps being checked again.
How do i make it stay un-checked..?

Finder won't stay selected if other programs open and can't open new window

I have just noticed a new problem. If other programs are open, Finder won't stay selected program. If I alt tab to it or click on it in dock, it shows on menu bar for a half second and goes away. If I right click on icon in dock and select open new window, it will not do so. If I select a folder from the desktop, it opens in Finder with no problem and I can move within the Finder at will.
I have updated all software. I am running the current Macbook Pro 15in. No other problems noted so far.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Hi Sleddaddyfro, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Do you have another account you can log into?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Stuffit AVR has been a big one, if you have that use the Pref Pane to turn it off, but others have been implicated too. Check System Preferences for a Stuffit Pref Pane and disable AVR.

What is the correct way to open new window with launchDialog & returnDialog

Hi,
JDev : 11.1.1.1.2.0
My current page url is http://127.0.0.1:7101/ThruputApplication/faces/Test.jspx?_afrLoop=21785535204821&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=d1x4f8z6p_9 and
From this page, I trying to open new browser window using command button's action method with below code
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ViewHandler viewHandler =
facesContext.getApplication().getViewHandler();
StringBuilder strBuilder = new StringBuilder();
UIViewRoot dialog =
viewHandler.createView(facesContext, strBuilder.append("/reports/LPLReport.jsp?").append(sURL).toString());
Map properties = new HashMap();
properties.put("width", Integer.valueOf(500));
properties.put("height", Integer.valueOf(300));
AdfFacesContext afConetxt = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
afConetxt.launchDialog(dialog, properties, null, true, null);
New browser window is getting open successfully but after opeing this new window if I do any operation such like selecting item from selectOneChoice or checkbox selection from the screen from which I have launce new browser window then is giving me below message.
Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page ?
There are one or more dependent dialogs open. Navigation from this page will invalidate any open dialogs.
Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page.
I have also tried AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(null, null); to return dialog but its giving me below error:

Please give me the solution so that I can stay on the screen and can continue with that screen after opening new browser window.
Currently after opening new window as mentioned above, I can't do anything. If I press ok button then it will give me login page and if I press cancel button then my screen component's state become invalid.

Opening new window problem

Hi,
I have a problem in my application when opening new window by clicking on the button ( window.open('http://....') ). After new window opens, "parent" window becomes dead - all session variables are lost and as a result it throws user to the login screen (default page).
I noticed that URLs in both windows have the same CFIDs and different JSession IDs.
Does anybody know how to handle this problem, another words how to make new window open with new CFID?
I am not sure if this is the reason, but cannot imagine anything else.
Thank you in advance,
LKhodab.

According to the HTTP protocol standard all requests are completely stateless and have absolutely no connection to any other reqeust that come before or after.
To allow session state management, ColdFusion uses cookies to know when a new request should share data with some request that came before it. These cookies can either be a pair named "CFID" and "CFTOKEN" or one named "JSESSIONID".
When you use JavaScript to create a child window in a browser, ColdFusion knows nothing about this. All it knows is that it is getting another request. If this request does NOT contain valid cookies identifying it as belong to some existing session, ColdFusion is going to create a brand new session with completely new data.
If you are seeing different JSESSIONID values when you open this child window, this is probably what is happening.

Runtime exec opens new window

Hi, I am using Runtime.exec to run an external application in Windows2000. � can read its output and i can destroy it without any problems.
But when i run my java application with javaw , the external application i run with rt.exec opens new window(without output texts, empty) . just output command windows which opens when i run the external app. from a command prompt.
If i run my java application with java.exe then then external application DO NOT open new window and run correctly. But this time my java window stays on desktop, and that's not any good for a Windows Application.
In both cases everything runs OK. The only problem is the command prompt windows.
Is there a solution when working with javaw.exe ? or hide the window when running with java.exe
Thanks all.

Make start screen tiles open new window by default?

let me preface this by saying "I like the windows 8 start screen and I don't miss the start menu."
but.
the default behavior for start screen tiles seems to be "take me to the open instance of this application."
if I click the notepad tile to open notepad, it opens notepad. if I click the tile again, it takes me to that notepad I just opened the first time I clicked the tile. if I want to open two instances of notepad, I have to right-click the tile and then
choose "open new window," which may or may not be on the complete opposite corner of the screen from my notepad tile.
for what it's worth, this was not the behavior in the old start menu.
is there a registry hack or group policy I can put in to say "start tiles always open a new instance of desktop apps"? I use two monitors and have a lot of things open. sometimes I might not even remember that I have notepad (or remote
desktop, or excel, or powershell) running until I've already clicked the tile "again" instead of right-clicking and choosing "open in new window." this may seem like a minor thing, but it just seems like something I should have a *choice*
on.
the unfortunate flip side of this is that the new dual-monitor taskbar does what exactly what I want the start screen to do, but what I DON'T want the taskbar to do. that is, if I:
A. have a outlook pinned to the taskbar on my primary monitor
B. have outlook open on my second monitor
C. click the pinned outlook icon on the first monitor
windows opens a new instance of outlook instead of just taking me to the open instance. and as if to twist the knife and say "i'm doing this wrong on purpose," it opens this new instance on the second monitor, right in front of the first
instance.
so the start screen knows if outlook is open on either monitor, but the taskbar on monitor1 doesn't know/care if outlook is open on monitor2.
(any of this addressed in 8.1?)

How to open new window and generate oracle report from apex

Hi,
I had created an application that generates PDF files using Oracle Reports, following this Guide.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_integrate_oracle_reports.html
And I followed 'Advanced Technique', so that users can't generate PDF file by changing URL and parameters. This is done for security reasons.
But in this tutorial, when 'Go' button is pressed, the PDF file is displayed on the same window of apex application. If so, user might close the window by mistake. In order to avoid this, another window have to be opened.
So, I put this code in the BRANCH - URL Target. (Note that this is not in Optional URL Redirect in the button property, but the branch which is called by the button.)
javascript:popupURL('&REPORTS_URL.quotation&P2100_REP_JOB_ID.')
But if the button is pressed, I get this error.
ERR-1777: Page 2100 provided no page to branch to. Please report this error to your application administrator.
Restart Application
If I put the code 'javascritpt ....' in the Optional URL Redirect, another window opens successfully, but the Process to generate report job is not executed.
Does anyone know how to open new window from the Branch in this case?

G'day Shohei,
Try putting your javascript into your plsql process using the htp.p(); procedure.
For example, something along these lines should do it:
BEGIN
-- Your other process code goes here...
htp.p('<script type="javascript/text">');
htp.p('popupURL("&REPORTS_URL.quotation&P2100_REP_JOB_ID.")');
htp.p('</script>');
END;
What happens is the javascript is browser based whereas your plsql process is server based and so if you put the javascript into your button item Optional URL Redirect it is executed prior to getting to the page plsql process and therefore it will never execute the process. When you have it in your branch which normally follows the processes, control has been handed to the server and the javascript cannot be executed and so your page throws the error "Page 2100 provided no page to branch to"... By "seeding" the plsql process with the embedded javascript in the htp.p() procedure you can achieve the desired result. You could also have it as a separate process also as long as it is sequenced correctly to follow your other process.
HTH
Cheers,
Mike

Firefox will not open new window, Why?

I have Vista home base premium operating system. I am a regular user of Mozilla firefox after had lots of positive feedback as one of the best browser. I had no problem for a good while, until recently I found out my add-on firebug stop working. Then I noticed that firefox stopped working properly, ie; it will no more open new window/s. One window will open after rebooting and i can have a number of tabs opened. When I right click on a web link and take the option to open it in a new window it will not open. When I take the option to open it in a new tab then that would be ok. When I go to the toolbar and click on File and chose option "open new window" again it will not open. I have on many accasions completely installed Firefox using the IObit software and use the advance system care to clean the registry and completely scan the system. I then reinstalled the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. I did that twice. The problem is still there. About the ad-on firebug, when I go to the toolbar and click on Tools, i can see Firebug with the extended arrow, but when I click on the arrow to the extended options, it simply would not respond.
There must something going on, please help.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Firefox 4 was set on "Open new windows in a new tab instead." I unclicked that to test opening in a new window. Decided to go back to the tab option, clicked on it but it does not engage and Firefox 4 continues to open in a new window. Is this a glitch?

I did try rebooting, no go. If anyone knows a way to get that option working, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

(''Note: cross posted from [https://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/801471 here].'')
I had the same problem, but was able to fix it somewhat.
# Open the about:config page.
# Set the ''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'' setting to 0 (= zero).
On my machine this will open new windows in a new tab. However, it switches to the new tab regardless of the setting ''"When I open a link in new tab, switch to it immediatly"''.

How stop FF31 from opening new window? I want to open all links in new tab at top of page.

I think the following, quote below, from the help page is my problem.
I have this one website I use that when I click on a link within the website it is opening a new window with the tab at the bottom. Also, when this happens, I am losing the orange FireFox rectangle, bookmarks and navigation options. How can I set FF31 so that the link opens in a new tab and I keep all my options? I am using Classic Theme Restorer 1.2.3. I also notice that in the new window I lose the ability to use some of the addons.
I have two laptops and both are running FF31 and W7. One of them is working perfectly and the other is having this problem. As far as I can tell they are both set up the same. The only difference is that when I upgraded to FF31 they both had difference older versions of FireFox. I also read in the help forum that maybe I need to go back to FireFox 28 to accomplish what I am trying to accomplish.
I noticed that when I go under about:config that the version of FF that is not working has fewer available options versus the version that is working. An example would be that the working version has "browser.tabs.onTop" where on the other laptop this is missing.
>>>Open new windows in a new tab instead: This option controls whether links from other applications or from web pages which request to open them in new windows are opened in a new window or a new tab in the most recent window.
Note: If you have chosen to open pages in new tabs, Firefox will ignore this option and will open a new window from a link if the page author specified that the new window should have a specific size, because some pages can only be displayed correctly at a specific size.<<<
Thank you in advance for any help,
yeto

You can override how links are opened via the browser.link.open_newwindow.override pref.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
*1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
Use this for links opened via JavaScript.

'Open New Windows In A New Tab' is not working when the popup is invoked by Flash

I surf a lot of porn sites. And some of them invoke a popup if you click the play button of their Flash player. Even though I have FF set to 'Open New Window In A New Tab', this isn't working if a window is invoked by a Flash object. For example, if I want to watch porn clip on tnaflix<i></i>.com and click the Play button, then a popup window of livejasmin<i></i>.com comes up. But it doesn't open in a new tab. It opens in a new window, even though I've set the above mentioned option. This is very annoying. Please, fix it.

Thanks for the responses and sorry for taking a while to get back. I have been looking around but not sure where is the "about: config page." When I click on Firefox "about" there is nothing to configure. What do I click on? TIA

Just downloaded Firefox 6.0 and have restarted 4 plus times, but it continues to hang while launching. I cannot open new windows, change any settings, or do anything but Force Quit. I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8. How do I get past this hang?

Long story short: Simply get CC for teams. At 500 bucks a year it's a steal and those 5 licenses in the base package (or was it 10 even?) cover all your computers, at least the 3 ones you mentioned. For system requirements refer to the individual product pages.
