Possible e17 issue: resizing windows causes "white-out"

not sure where this problem fits in the categories of the forum, so I figured I'd drop it here... I'm running e17 and recently I started experiencing a "white-out" problem whenever full-screening or resizing windows... so far, the only program that doesn't seem to suffer from this white-out is Opera... I'm not sure how to reproduce this error for anyone either... once the whiteout occurs, the window becomes generally inoperable (I think it's a screen draw issue, because if I know where things relatively are or should be, I can somewhat use the window... so the operations are all still there, I just can't properly see the window itself... closing and reopening fixes this, but nothing else works. Running via console does nothing as well...
oddly enough, when using gimp, resizing the image window doesn't affect the option windows that are also open... also, when opening xfe and resizing, the main window gets the whiteout effect, but when I close it, the dialog box that asks if I really want to close it looks completely normal... Please ask whatever questions are necessary to fix this issue... I'm thinking it may be an e17-only issue, but not sure... plan to log into xfce as well to see if I still experience the same thing...
ANY feedback would be nice...

I have the Early 2009 white Macbook and just began this same ordeal a few days ago. Nothing out of the ordinary to cause it, seemingly. I spoke with the authorized dealer here, and they told me it could be the display at $300 to repair, or anything else for less. Very frustrating.
I can lower the brightness to 0 and then increment 1-2 notches before it goes black again.

MAIL - Resizing Window Causes All Content to Vanish?

This just started today. When I open MAIL, all is fine. When I try to expand or shrink the MAIL window from the lower right corner, the window resizes, but all the content vanishes and the entire window turns white as soon as I start to drag. The only way to get the MAIL content to reappear is to quit Mail and relaunch?
Any ideas?

Just to double check, you're using the Mail.app that came with the system, or a different mail program?
Does this behaviour happen with other windows (ie Finder, Safari, etc)?
I'm guessing you've rebooted...
Try it in safe mode (turn on the computer and immediately hold shift... release shift after you see the apple/gear and a progress bar). If it doesn't happen there, consider removing all login items (apple >> system preferences >> users and groups >> login items), rebooting, and try again. Make a note of what login items you had in case you this doesn't work and you want to return them. If it happens here, too... then...
If you have an IMAP mail account, create a new user (apple >> system preferences >> users and groups >> click +) and setup mail in a test account and see if it does the same thing.
Try that for starters.

Having an intermittent issue where my iMac blanks out on me. On restarting I get several bands running down the screen with pixels jumping around within the bands, then the white screen of death and nothing... This happens intermittently and usually restarts OK. Happened again three days ago and wouldn't restart for two days (again the bands/pixels etc) but now operating fine? Any ideas whats wrong with my iMac and what the solution may be? Also gets very hot from time to time, particularly if I'm playing music/watching youtube/movies for extended periods.

What causes "Windows Live Sign-out isn't complete-Finish signing out"?

When signing out of email at www.hotmail.com, I get the message “Windows Live Sign-out isn’t complete…Finish signing out” instead of the "signout successful" screen. The message suggests deleting all cookies, which I did. Then I deleted firefox 5 and reinstalled firefox 4.0.1.
Same error occurs with firefox 4.0.1.
The error does not occur when I use MS internet explorer to access hotmail.

Fix for Sign-Out Hotmail
= Completely

Important…Note***“Completely”…!!!... Delete and removed all references and options of Google/Bing Search engines…
”they are the most radical and intrusive search Plug-ins and softwares to Firefox users and web surfing privacy” …!!!!!!
Reason:..Why..?

2. Open Firefox / Install FlashKiller [1.3]
• This is the easiest “least radical and least intrusive” flash blocker available for Firefox
Step::::
3. Set Pref (about:config):
privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins = 3
This pref {Integer} can actually take four values:
• {Integer} 0: Allow ”all” popups from plugins.
• {Integer} 1: Allow popups, “but limit” them to dom.popup_maximum.
 You Must type in: dom.p = dom.popup_maximum
 * Default 20 will sign-out to MSN.com (homepage)
 ** Change to 1 will sign-out = You have successfully signed out of Hotmail (Sign-out page)….
 This is a “ user” preference…
o {Integer} 2: Block popups from plugins.
o {Integer} 3: Block popups from plugins, even on whitelisted sites

• Note .. Tab activity will look very busy and intermittent for a few seconds = normal
Step :::
9. Sign-out = Complete …”..???..”
• Note: Sign out will redirect you to MSN.com
• Confirm sign out complete and successful…
i. Close tab (MSN.com)
ii. Do not close Firefox
iii. Launch hotmail.com (Bookmark or address bar) again.
iv. If log in windows appears: and ask for:: address and password = This is Confirmation that log out procedure was successful..…..!!!

As a novice computer user, I wonder why I'm often getting "white-out" (program/app I'm working in goes totally blank onscreen). If it makes a difference, I'm working 99% of the time on battery, not AC, power. What causes this?

As a novice computer user, I wonder why I'm often getting "white-out" (program/app/site I'm working in goes totally blank onscreen). This is when I'm Internet online. If it makes a difference, I'm working 99% of the time on battery, not AC, power. Some of the possibilities I'm guessing are: glitches in my Verizon FiOS Wi-Fi providership?; staying too long on a site that's waiting for me to finish and "Submit"?; computer hardware prob (yikes, I hope not! It's brand new). Any ideas out there?

When this 'white-out' occurs, is the display 100% white with no error message and no menu bar?
Does this occur when you are using Wi Fi or connected to the Internet via the Ethernet cable?
Ciao.

Preview PDF white out issue.

I want to white out a couple of lines on a PDF form. White out. No box lines, no shadows. White. As in those lines disappear. What is the deal with the shadows? Is there a way to just have parts of a doc whited out?

It may be worth pointing out here that redactions in pdf files have been circumvented in the past quite easily. If you want to hide the line you need to delete it.

V3.6.3 Crash Today - Possible Plugin Issue?

Re: v3.6.3 Crash Today - Possible Plugin Issue?
Ref: (a) Crash ID bp-cb196f96-dd38-44d7-bffb-778a22100531.
(b) https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
This user really does not know whether a plugin is involved here, but also, cannot rule that out. And exploring the Plugin Check page with its limited information, has found the following significant issue un-addressed, and thus, mysterious to him.
Please, consider adding to the Plugin Check page, ref. (b), an explanation on this question>> What must one do, i.e., perform what steps, to update a plugin? I.e, is it infallibly sufficient to download & to run the download? Is updating a fully automated process for all plugins?, or even for some plugins? E.g., does updating an Adobe plugin ever require uninstalling the old plugin first (as does updating the Adobe Reader program, and Acrobat, etc.)? How shall the general user of Firefox know precisely what he/she should perform in this regard, when it is well known that the Adobe updates sites generally fail to recognize and advise the user on the question of whether to uninstall first. We see it in forums, that many of us general users have encountered install failures with Adobe updates, and (1) have found that Adobe updates usually do not work well if installed over the old version, and (2) have found that uninstalling Adobe apps often does not go smoothly and fails to complete the job, leaving vulnerable exe's or dll's hanging around to frustrate our subsequent updating. And, Adobe is not the only offender in this way. A frank and helpful mention of this issue would save much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and if uninstallation is a good idea, please explain how to Uninstall a Plugin, because plugins generally lack an Uninstall button in the Add-ons window of Firefox. And, this begs the question, is it desirable to Disable a plugin, before running the updating installation file? Or is there "no benefit" if Disabled first? Please try to write up these aspects plainly. Ideally, from this user's perspective, placement of this ought to be a few sentences directly on the Plugin Check page. Your consideration and adoption of this suggestion is respectfully requested, and it will be much appreciated.

''You can disable plugins here: Tools > Add-ons > Plugins
See also Troubleshooting plugins
Plugins provide a way to use other program to embed content. so you have to go to the program that adds a plugin and check the options (preferences) to disable the plugin.''
Anyone knowledgeable, please comment.
Thanx for suggesting the Disable button, cor-el, but my question addressed Uninstall of Plug-ins. This was due to the now-recognized problem which afflicts Adobe update patches, that the patch doesn't go well unless the old version is Uninstalled first; thus requiring a clean installation of the fully updated application.
It is my understanding that the Disable button does not necessarily uninstall the old files. When I was unaware of this consistently occurring property of Adobe's patches, I had more than one case of Adobe Reader and Acrobat failing to update completely, causing hours of fruitless troubleshooting, and this continued with the most recent patches to Adobe Reader, the one updating it to v9.3.2, as well as earlier ones. Therefore, it seems not unreasonable to expect that the Shockwave Flash plugin that is now flagged as vulnerable again (v10.0.45.2), needs to be Uninstalled before updating.
Is there no dependable method for Uninstalling plugins?
If not, then one wonders, why not? Is there a reason why Mozilla designs Plugins to be different from Extensions in this regard?

Constant "not responding" and screen whites out

Ever since I've been using Firefox 3.5 or so (currently Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.17) Gecko/20110420 Firefox/3.6.17) I have constant messages in the window bar (Not Responding) and the open page whites-over and Firefox quits responding. it's happened 4 times while I've typed this far. It makes the browser completely unusable. What is causing this? There's also a little grey box up by the search-bar that has "2c" in it I never noticed before where logos for various browsers I've used in the past usually have a logo.

It still happens when I turn off all extensions and in safe mode. I have 3 gigs of ram, Win 7 and if Firefox is open the thing constantly does this white-out, not responding thing. Same browser on my eMachines desktop and Toshiba Satellite laptop with XP is just been fine. Upgraded it to FF 4 on less used eMachines Saturday, though I don't really like the look and feel yet. Don't know if this is a Win7 problem or Firefox. Another weird thing is that bookmarks imported from Toshiba now won't let me save new bookmarks. Usually truncates the folder I put new bookmark in. If the browser crashes on the Win7 machine, recent bookmarks just disappear. Sometimes even when I do a controlled shutdown, they still disappear. Is the install corrupted possibly? And is there a way to wipe and reinstall it?

"Zoom Resizes Windows" doesn't work in CS4

I have the "Zoom Resizes Windows" option checked in Preferences. However, when I use the scroll wheel on my mouse (which is assigned to zoom in the Photoshop software), it only zooms in/out on the image within the window. WHY do they put the option in there when it CLEARLY doesn't work???
I have my image document windows "undockable", so that I have the flexibility to move them around and zoom in/out as I please when I have more than one. But the zoom does NOT zoom the document window. It keeps it the same size while moving the image within it. This "Zoom Resizes Windows" option is NOT working.
Is this a joke, or am I missing something? Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

I too am having the same issue as Whintersby. I find that it is not pixel related as much as it is the physical size of the resized window.
Note the lower right corner. Once the resize dragger disappears the window will no-longer resize up using the CTRL ++. Unless you first physically drag the corner with the mouse a little. At that point the functionality returns. As Whintersby has said it is quite frustrating and quite disruptive to a solid work flow.
If anyone has found a solution to this it would be quite helpful.
For any Adobe techs that might be here, I am on Win7 (64).
While this may possibly be a moot point as I intend to upgrade to CS5, I want to make sure that it gets resolved and does not simply continue into CS5.

Windows 8.1 RDP Issues with Windows Server 2008 Standard.

I have an issue maintaining an RDP connection from 64-bit windows 8.1 (standard and pro) to 32-bit Windows Server 2008 Standard. Initial connection is normal, and as long as I am constantly typing on the link, for the most part it stays up. However
if I do not keep typing, or go to another desktop program for a few minutes, and then go back, the following happens:
If I am typing into notepad (or some screen that does not require windows to be refreshed) I can continue to do so, so the connection has not been lost, however if I try to do something that requires more extensive exchange of information (like file
- open, or even trying to pull up the start menu), the connection pauses with about half the screen refreshed, sometimes after about 30 seconds a bit more of the screen fills out, but otherwise the connection is not responsive. Then after about 2 minutes,
RDP reconnects, at which point I am back to "normal". I have conducted some tests and made inquiries of others attempting to connect to the server.
1) I can connect to other Windows (servers 2008 R2 and 2012) with no connection issues from this PC
2) I can connect to the 32-bit server with no issues using Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 from the same location as the WIndows 8.1 PC
3) When I do a network speed test while having these issues I see full download and upload speeds, so I am not experiencing intermittent internet issues.
4) No-one else from other locations (not of course using Windows 8.1) has any issues using RDP to the 32-bit Windows Server Standard.
These various tests seem to eliminate my network connection, and other operating systems, from the equation, and point to RDP issues on windows 8.1 connecting to the older OS. I noticed in the September updates, a case 2989039 which seemed to point
to similar issues when using UDP through Remote Desktop Gateway. That update is on my machine, and my connection has the setting Automatically detect RD Access Gateway server settings.
Any thoughts anyone?

Hi RonaldRenaud,
If my understanding is right, this RDP issue only occur in the connection between Windows 8.1 and Server 2008.
Please check if you have installed the update kb2984006.
To resolve this issue caused by update 2989039, install update rollup 2984006. For more information, please refer to the following KB.

Adobe PDF Preview Handler Issue in WIndows 8 64 Bit Machine - After installing Adobe Pro 11.0.10

Hi Guys ,
We are facing a serious issue with Windows 8 and Adobe PDF Preview Handler . We are using the PDFPrevHndlr.dll from Adobe to show PDF Previews in our application. It is working fine in Windows 7 and Vista and for some reason it is not working in Windows 8.1 64 bit machines after upgrading to Adobe Pro 10.0.10 . Please help us figure out what is the root cause of this issue .
During a close analysis we have found that the PrevHost.exe( Windows component ) is failing soon after it is being invoked . Any help in this is much appreciated.
Regards
Sree

Resizing window affects data aquisition

Hi Guys, got a really annoying problem that I've been trying to solve for about 2 weeks now, I'm hoping someone will be able to help me.
We communicate through a dll to our data aquisition box (custom). Our custom data aquisition box has an array which we read in a timed loop every 20ms (although the array is present for around 50ms), once read we send a command saying that we have read the data.
Once we've read the data we put it into a queue. The logger then reads from this queue, all works fine on a normal run. However if we resize any window (not just a labview one) this seems to knock out our Timed loop. i.e. we miss 1-2 arrays worth of data (50-100ms). This is strange as we have it in a Highest priority VI running in the "Data aquisition" thread. We also do lots of other things i.e. read from a TDMS file and read/write to global variables and display data on a graph, this doesn't seems to have much of an affect on the timed loops, its just when we resize a window. Obviously we do not want to risk losing critical data, so we need a way of stopping this from happening?
Its almost as though the VI is running in the User interface thread and is a lower priority than the resize window method.
Does anyone have any ideas on how we can solve this issue?
Thanks in advance
Joe
We are collecting data at 1Khz and our Dll is thread safe and is set to "run in any thread".
Using Labview 2009f3

Hi Guys,
Thanks for all your replies. Sorry for late reply, I was out the office yesterday.
Unfortunately i can not post my source code however i have made a small mock up of how the system generally works, to give you an idea.
josbone: Our dll is classed as thread safe and we have it running as such - i thought this could be the case to start with. I presume because it is classed as "any thread" it could still be running in the UI thread though?
Tinnitus: I have attached a mock up that shows the main points in the system. I think I got a little confused on my previous reply. The DAQ holds the data there for 50ms and that is our only chance to read the data(more data comes through and our buffer can only hold 50ms worth). Which if the Timed Loop executes at 20ms should be fine.
DFGray: I got really excited reading your reply - it sounded like it was a great fix, however, unfortunately it did not work
Hope the mock code helps
Regards,
Joe

Is it possible to open multiple windows on mavericks . if so how.

is it possible to open multiple windows in mavericks if so how

First, go to Finder > Preferences and make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of new windows".
Any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down either Command Key while clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then clicking on a folder will open it in a tab (which will automatically resize the window and may cause much aggravation).
If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple click (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5). Go to a root folder (for example, the Documents Folder), open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar, then all folders within that root folder will open in a new window.
The Hide Toolbar trick will also work with any folder present on the Desktop. It will make all folders inside that folder open in new windows.
Hope this helps.

Unable to Move or Resize window after XGrabKeyboard

When gaining focus is detected in java, a call to XGrabKeyboard is made through JNI.
When losing focus, a call to XUngrabKeyboard is used.
Intermittently after the call to xGrabKeyboard the Java window is not able to be moved or resized.
When hovering over the window titlebar the cursor appears as a single arrow cursor instead of the normal 4 arrow (N,E,S,W) cursor.
After losing and gaining focus a few times, the cursor will eventually return to normal and the window can be moved or resized.
When commenting out the call to XGrabKeyboard the issue does not occur.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so, found a solution?

Probably a timing issue. You're doing basic X Windows calls outside of what the JVM's X Windows handling is aware of.
