Photoshop screen refresh problem?

Ran into a problem this morning in PS. I wanted to move a layer in PS, would drag it and it would crash PS. So I would restart, reopen the file and instead of dragging I would move things around with the arrows. Works ok, but the screen wouldn't refresh until I clicked from one layer to another. Any idea why this is and how to avoid in the future?

If you were on WIndows, I'd guess you had an out of date video card driver.
On Macintosh, I've only seen problems like that due to bugs in third party plugins, and a few haxies (system extension utilities).
Oh, and make sure you've installed all the OS and Photoshop updates.

Screen refresh problem where data is entered and the screen doesn't refresh

Many people in the company are experiencing the odd screen refresh problem where data is entered and the screen doesn't refresh to show the updated result in corresponding cell formulas.
Microsoft have issued a hotfix to fix the issue for Excel 2003 as shown. Microsoft released a hotfix for this problem (<a href="advisory?ID=978908">KB978908</a>). Display memory tends to pick up data from hidden sheets and pastes it
into the active screen. No impact on the file. This occurs when protecting and unprotecting worksheets in VBA. I also suspect that enabling and disabling screen refresh contributes to this problem. In any case there is a fix, albeit with the following disclaimer:
As of yet I have not been able to find a fix for this for office 2010 and 2013, Any suggestions would be great.

Hi,
Based on your description, Excel does not show the text strings when you typing. It may be caused by the cell format, if we set the cell format as ";;;" in custom format, it will not display the text that you typed.
And the issue may be caused by the third-party input method, there are some compatibility issue between them.
If the issue still exits, please try the following methods
Verify/install the latest updates
Repair your Office program

Screen refresh problem with Windows 7

Hello all,
I've recently begun testing Oracle with Windows 7 on a new HP 2540p notebook computer. I've encountered a very strange issue so far. After logging into Oracle, and Windows switches to Windows Basic theme, I should be taken to the main Navigator screen. But instead, the screen is simply white. If I drag (or nudge) the title bar just a bit, the screen refreshes and I can see the menu items. Then if I click on something (or even use hotkeys - ALT+F to get the file menu, for example), I don't see anything happen. But if I move the window just a bit, the screen refreshes and I can see that it did actually take my input, it just didn't re-draw the screen. I'm wondering if this may be a graphics driver issue (I do have the latest driver for the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD adapter), or if someone could point me toward a resolution to this problem. Any help is much appreciated.

Dear All,
Same problem of REFRESH PROBLEM also faced by but only a single and specific Windows 7 client.
if you have resolved the issue , so please share with us.
Thanks

Screen refresh problem in kde4 with konsole, nvidia and compiz

Hi,
I have for the last month or so been experiencing really slow screen refreshes in konsole. What happens is that the text often doesn't get refreshed and you end up with the cursor not on the correct line, blocks all over the konsole window and blank areas of text. Minimising and maximising the konsole windows seems to refresh them as does using compiz's scale plugin. As I spend pretty much all day using konsole this has been really annoying. I have today however found a fix in this bug report:- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … mments=all
This was to go into ccsm, enable workaronds under utility and make sure "Force syncronization between X and GLX" is ticked.
Thought I'd share is this has really been doing my head in, so hope this helps someone else!

Dual monitor screen refresh problem

We have a GUI application that runs on a dual monitor setup and are experiencing strange behaviour. The application is started on one monitor (the left hand one), but at times a window which has been dragged to the right hand monitor stops getting screen updates (e.g. typing show nothing on screen, but the characters are in fact in the field). If a window is positioned so that it overlaps both screens and the problem occurs, what we observe is the portion of the window on the left monitor (where the application was started) is redrawn successfully, but the portion of the window on the right hand monitor is not drawn at all - half the window shows correct detail, half the window is a grey rectangle.
This issue is not experienced when we run the application on a single monitor. The problem is intermittent, and is not due to idle time in the application (it can occur which an operator is working with the GUI).
We are running 1.5.0 update 5.

We noticed the same problem.
We've got JSE 1.5.0_06 and a swing GUI. For me it looks like this: Only the bigger part of the application is refreshed. So if the application starts at the secondary monitor and is dragged so that a small part of the GUI is displayed on the primary monitor only the bigger part of the GUI (so that one on the secondary monitor) gets refreshed. So scrolling leads to graphic mistakes in the smaller GUI part.
If the main part of the application runs on the primary monitor and only a small part is on the secondary one we observe the same problem: Only the part on the primary monitor gets refreshed.
We also observed this grey rectangle paulch already mentioned.
Minimizing and refitting forces the repainting so then everything is fine.
Is was trying to find something in the bug database but I wasn't successful although I found several descriptions like this in this forum.
Can anybody present some work-around for this?
Thanks

Using twoo NVIDIA 7300 cards: firmware bug? Screen refresh problem

strange bug with Mac Pro 2.66 Xeon:
I have two Displays, 20 and 23".
When both connected to the standard NVIDIA card in the Mac Pro, evreything is fine.
I ordered a second NVIDIA card wich I installed in slot 4, using 8 lanes for this card.
Now, when one display is connected to the standard card and the second display is connected to the second NVIDIA card, the screen of the display connected to the build in card (the 16 lanes card) does noet refresh correctly. You can not see what iMovie is displaying for example, iMovie screen is white and does not display what should be on screen.
Sometimes none of the main screen is refresehd (example: Safari content is not updated, while in fact it is!) but the mousecursor moves correctlyon screen.
Also third party software (like FotoMagico) is not updated on screen
Connecting both displays to one card and everything is fine!
A strange bug wich I guess is related to the Mac Pro firmware
I've tried the second NVIDIA card in all the PCI-E slots to see if this makes a difference, it does not.
I used the PCI-E configure tool to vhange the speed of the lanes for the PCI-E slots, also this makes no diffrence.
At this moment my second card is not usable.
This is a problem on all three Mac Pro's we tried this on (2.66 version, 2 machines with 1Gb RAM, 1 machine with 3Gb RAM), latest OS 10.4.7
Starting in safe mode makes no difference on either Mac Pro

I am running two 7300 GTs in my 2.66 GHz Mac Pro driving (2) 20" + (1) 30" Cinema Display. I am not seeing the issue you mention in iMovie. Quicktime flickers every once in a while when playing iTunes video content, but that started with the iTunes / Quicktime upgrade, not when I added the extra card.
I have my nVidia 7300 cards in slots 1 &2 each running 8 lanes. Might be worth a try. The 7300 is not that "high performance" that running in 8 lanes is going to make a huge difference in speed. What it will do for you is get the cards on an equal footing.

Java screen refresh problems

I've recently noticed problems running Java applications under 10.4.8, with the latest Java DST updates - Java version is reported as:
java version "1.5.0_07"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-164)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_07-87, mixed mode, sharing)
I've seen problems running CLC Free Workbench (http://www.clcbio.com/free/) and Cytoscape (http://www.cytoscape.org/). When I launch the applications, the application window is not drawn correctly. Buttons and tabs are not drawn properly (edges misaligned or missing); some window elements fail entirely to display; menu labels may not be drawn, although clicking where the menu should be will drop down the menu. When I resize the window, redraw will typically fail entirely, although I can in some cases get elements to redraw by mousing over them. Basically, the applications are unusable.
When I launch Java Preferences or Java cache viewer, those windows also fail to draw, and I'm left looking at a blank rectangle.
A colleague running the same OS an Java versions has no problems on his Macbook - the applications display correctly. I'm running on a dual 1GHz PowerMac G4 (MDD).
Any suggestions as to how I can get my Java to draw to the screen?
Thanks,
Chris
Powermac G4 MDD, Dual 1GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Following up on my own question - I took some advice I read in another thread, and created a new test account to see if the problem is specific to my account. Apparently it is as both problem applications display just fine when logged into the new account.
So, the question becomes why is my account having problems displaying Java apps? What can I flush/reset/delete to make things display properly again?

Labview screen refresh bug (disappearing VI icons in diagram window)

Hello,
I have Labview 6 (fully patched with just about EVERY download NI offers on this site) running on a Windows NT 4.00.13.81 box. Since this is a screen refresh problem, it might be useful to mention that the graphics card is a ATI 3D Rage Pro (bought in 1999, driver versions 5.2.040, 4.0.0).
I think I've ran into either a Labview or a graphics card driver bug, because the VI icons in the diagram window seem to disappear every time I move the mouse over them. Minimising the window and maximising it again makes them appear (if only someone had included a "refresh" shortcut in Labview I could even learn to live with this!), but the bug persists. Shrinking and reinstating the diagram window co
nstantly is a reasonable way to work.
I cannot remember for sure, but I believe this bug appeared when I patched Labview 6.0 into 6.0.2.
Any help will be much appreaciated, this bug is frustrating and doesn't let me work!I really do not want to upgrade to Labview 7 either, as all my work is in 6.0.x and I have no time for major shifts in versions.
Thank you,
-Alexandros

NMac Pro 6core D500 problems with screen refresh: 10.9.3 warning!

Avoid 10.9.3 on the Mac Pro 6 core, D500.
Problem with screen refresh using Motion soon after updating OSX from Mac Pro late 2013 version of 10.9.2.
I tried my Asus HDMI at all resolutions but to no avial. The screen juddered like it was Windows 95 without any GPU drivers.
Apple's Tech Support had me use many key commands and finally we found out there was no issue with my hardware. Apple suggested a clean install before sending it back for repair. I was fortunate to have had made a backup in the Time Machine of my computer soon after installing all my apps. After restoring my computer is running 10.9.2 version made for the Mac Pros Late 2013. There are no more problems with screen redraw after using Motion.
So, it is clear I cannot upgrade my Mac Pro to 10.9.3 while the issue with Motion's render engine messing with my screen refresh continues. Returning to 10.9.2 has made me realize 10.9.3 is slower and not as stable.
I would suggest not upgrading unless you have a 4k monitor.

Screen Redraw problems on 3.3

I am getting more and more disappointed with Apple products lately. I've been a faithful Aperture user since the rip-off $699 V1.0...
It seems that they are fading away from the Pro's as time goes by...
This upgrade is a joke. I have 334 Projects and 37000 Photos... The monochrome icons are hard to find, advanced features are gone and there I am experiencing slower performance...
I have a super fast 12-Core 2.66GHz Mac Pro with 1TB Accelsior SSD PCIe Hard Drive (I get 750MB/sec R/W Speeds) and use Photoshop CS6 Extended.
It used to take about half a second to open a TIFF photo in PS (22MP from a Canon 5D III or 16MP from Canon 1D IV). Now, it takes about a second. I know it might not mean much but I was used to speed and now it is slower...
My main problem is screen redraw. I have two 27" LED Apple Cinema Displays. One in Landscape Mode and the second in Portrait.
I keep my Browser on the left (horizontal) and the viewer on the right (vertical) screen... When hitting "Z" to zoom to 100%, there is a hesitation on the image redraw and I get 2 black borders to the sides of the image and like a half a second later the image is finally fully covering the screen...
This NEVER happened before.
I am a Pro and expect updates to be reliable. I need to work as fast as I can...
Apple is really starting to **** me off with bad releases. Everything seems to be geared towards consumer products.
They did it last year with Final Cut Pro and they are doing it now with Aperture 3.3.
Why do they feel the need to remove features instead of adding or improving them?
Why is it necessary to merge iPhoto library on Aperture? Pros and consumers should stay separate...
Next thing, they are gonna merge Final Cut Pro X with iMovie...
I do love the new White Balance "Skin Tone" feature... It works great.
I think I'm going back to 3.2.4 until they release a 3.3.1 update or better off, an over due 4.0. I hope I don't have to wait 3 years for it like I'm gonna have to wait for a new redesigned Mac Pro... I still can't believe the Mac Pro box is 9 years old, since the introduction of the G5...

Please don't rant, whine, or tell your personal tale of woe here. We are just users, like yourself. A number of us help others -- for no remuneration, notice, or status beyond our rather sad looking handful of dots. (I see you have the minimum .)
Apple is notoriously difficult to talk to. The approved channel is via "Aperture➞Provide Aperture Feedback". If you want to tell them what you think, that is the way to do so.
If you have specific problems or issues regarding Aperture that you would like some community help resolving, by all means post them here. Be specific and informative -- what is the problem? when did it start? how is what you see different from what you expect? what have done so far to resolve your problem? what effect, if any, have your attempts had? -- and edit out everything else.
Nice system, btw.
You might take a look at your Preview settings. Mine were changed without notice when I upgraded to 3.3. I don't see how this would necessarily slow down screen refreshes, but it might make it seem slower.
And -- just for buddy-buddy -- I used iMovie for three weeks straight a couple of years ago, then finished that project. I would rather get paid to wash dishes than ever use iMovie again.

Animated gif and page refresh problem

Animated gif and page refresh problem
Hi There,
I'm trying to build a simple "Please wait......" screen using jsp and javascript.
So far all is going well except that my animatate gif keeps refreshing everything the page is refresh.
Is there a way the i can prevent the body of the page from refreshing?

Is there a way to speed up Premiere's screen refresh when editing?

Hello all!
I've been doing a lot of editing in the time-line. I'm editing two concurrent video tracks, and three concurrent audio tracks.
Whenever I split or delete portions of a clip, Premiere re-draws the tracks which takes several seconds (maybe 7 seconds or so?).
I know it doesn't seem to be a lot of time, but I am making many edits and it slows me down.
I know that if one "turns-off" the fancy graphics that display little video pictures and audio waveform displays that this screen refresh goes faster.
But is there some I should be setting to optimize my computer specific to screen refresh?
I believe I have mucho RAM, 500 gig of "extra" disk space, a fast dual core processor and am running Windows XP.
My project is located on a secondary drive.
Would a fancy video card help speed up the screen refresh?
Thanks!

Hunt,
(By the way, thanks to everyone for all the time that they're putting into this thread. I didn't think that it
would have evolved into such complexity ..)
My Windows Hardware Acceleration was set "all the way to the right".
I tried it "all the way to the left" and then, just one "notch" less than "all the way to the right".
(Hope that makes sense!)
It didn't fix the problem :-(
(Do I need to re-start Windows when I change this setting? I did not do that ..)
Here is some more information:
I think I had first noticed the video latency last August. I had attributed it to a lack of hard drive space and
installed a new internal hard drive (I have four 500G sata hard drives in my computer.)
Also, I had installed Premiere 7 on my computer about two weeks ago. (I have been using "3" to date.)
Both 3 and 7 act the same way, so I'm thinking that the issue probably isn't caused by a corrupt installation of Premiere.
I would suspect having both 3 and 7 installed concurrently as the culprit, but the issue existed long before installing 7.
If it were a system RAM failure, I'd suspect that I'd see a far more catastrophic failure?
And, when the video is playing "catch-up", I'm not seeing excessive drive activity, so I'm not sure
how big a role that the hard drove(s) are playing in this anomaly.
re: hard drives - the only set-up that I changed in the BIOS when installing hard drives was to turn on the
SATA interface for the drives .. maybe I've missed an optimization?
Maybe I need to go thru the "optimize your PC" list ..
Last thought for now: Is my Nividia GeForce video card adequate? I've got another video card that I can try.
Thanks copiously again!

Mac Pro 2007 with Nvidia 8800GT screen redraw problems on Mac OS 10.5.2

I seem to be having a slight screen redraw problem. Such as when grabbing the browser window and moving up and down it seems the redraw can't keep up,also seems problematic when watching flash or other video online. It does it in the finder too for windows listings or in icon view there is a fluttering or flashing back and forth, kind of like a white super split second flash when dragging the window box smaller or larger not as bad as when making smaller. Hard to describe but my original Ge-force that I pulled was not having these characteristics. I figure that the drivers need tweaking. In windows I am not getting these results. I have newer boot camp installed as well as the leopard graphics update done so I am trying to see if others are having a slight problem or maybe it is me.
Also I make certain it is not heat related as I monitor that and it does not matter at what temp it is.

Here's another similar experience -- and my solution.
I bought a Quad-core 2.8GHz (8GB RAM) Mac Pro in May and got the "better" Nvidia 8800GT. I thought I was happy, but there were redraw issues after sleeping and a display "roughness" I found annoying. Upgrading to OSX 10.5.4 didn't help.
I found it to be mostly absent on startup, but sleeping the Mac would bring it on. I.e., after sleep, the relatiionship between the 8800GT would be different than before. when I logged out and in again, the problem woud vanish. No what I expect from a "superior" graphics card. I ascribed it to funky drivers from Apple.
The store I bought the Mac from offered to swap for my suggestion of an ATI HD 3870, so I went for it about a week ago.
This card is far smoother than the 8800GT and just as fast in rendering benchmerks for graphics. (I'm not a gamer.) I am a happy camper! There is no stuttering, oddball redraw, or jerkiness as there had been with the 8800. It's perfect! Never mind that it may be 5% slower for gamers, it feels faster for my use.
BUT NOTE: As I now see from reading several forums, I wasn't alone is getting a screaming-Mimi at first! The first 3870 ran at nearly full fan speed at power-up. The speed changed a little with resolution changes on my big Mitsubishi CRT monitor, and actually stopped when I switched to 1080x1920 @ 72Hz! Then the fan would start and quit, start and quit randomly -- convincing me it was defective.
I returned this RED-shrouded unit and the store replaced it, this time with (randomly) a BLUE-shrouded unit. (Slightly lower serial.)
Bottom Line: This replacement 3870 is quiet as a mouse! Fan runs near-silently at startup and after hours of regular use in a 75ºF room. I get the distinct feeling that a bunch of cards with wonky fan controllers were built, and some of us got 'em.
Bad News: The ATI HD 3870 does NOT support multiple refresh rates under Windows XP-SP2 booting the Mac Pro, with or without Boot Camp drivers installed. No version of the ATI drivers fixes this, and ATI does not officially support Boot Camp yet. You can choose a resolution okay, but you're stuck at 60Hz refresh -- a pain for those of us who hate 60Hz flicker. (I like 100Hz refresh.)

Selection screen refresh

HI,
my question here is related to selection screen refresh.
in the program one parameter is defined like below.
PARAMETERS :P_EINT LIKE YFR1FIT_SALE_REF-POST_CODE DEFAULT 'EINT' OBLIGATORY VALUE CHECK.
In the table YFR1FIT_SALE_REF table the field POST_CODE the values were maintained at domain level. So, when i selected the F4 help on this field, all the domain values are appearing in the pop-up and also the validation of the data.
Now i have changed that, instead of domain, i have given the check table for this field. Though i did this change at table level, it looks these changes are not reflecting in the program. The program still showing the values maintained at the domain level, but not from the check table.
When i went to SE51 and given this program and 1000 as screen no, i noticed that the flow logic is not updated as per the latest changes. its still refering to the domain level values for validation..
So, to overcome this problem, it looks i have to update the flow logic of the screen 1000, which is created by default. Do you have any idea on how to correct this or refreshing the flow logic for the screen 1000.
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Srikanth

As per [Input Help Hierarchy in the ABAP Dictionary|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9f/dbaa5435c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm] Check Table should have overridden the Domain Values in search help.
Please try to activate the screen 1000 (you can go through SE80) once again. Ihave faced such problem earlier.
But even if the problem persists check if you need to insert TABLES statement.. just dicing a though if it works.
You can paste the code also.
