Powerpoint in maximized window, when de machine is starting up from batch

Hello,
I want to start a .pps presentation with Powerpoint Viewer in a maximized window, after the machine is powered-up.
The slide show is saved with kiosk settings as a .pps (slideshow).
I put a shortcut with screen maximized on in the STARTUP directory of the automatic start-up user.
Powerpoint Viewer is starting the slide show in a default screen which is not maximized and a task-bar, where you manualy can set maximized continuously presentation.
How can I fix this ?
I don't want to do anything, after I power-up this PC, so does anyone has a good, simple and working solution ?

Hi Fred,
This forum is for developers disscussing question about VBA, VSTO and apps for Office. Since the issue is more relate to the product, I suggest you repost it to
Microsoft Commnutity to get more effective response.

Firefox 4.0 beta is not opening a window when I try to start it up

downloaded the firefox 4.0 beta on my laptop MacBook Pro, with OSX 10.6.4. Firefox would not open a new window when I tried to start up the application.

See "Hang at exit":
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+hangs

Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.

If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error does not occur.

As reported in earlier replies, the annoyance disappeared after I upgraded to Roboform 7.5.6, from 7.5.4.

System crashing when Time Machine backup starts

My MacBook Pro has crashed 4 times today. The first 2 times I wasn't around to see the crash, I just saw the message that the system had crashed and that I needed to hold down the power button and restart.
The 3rd time it happened I noticed that the Time Machine backup process had just started before the crash. I restarted the computer, manually started a Time Machine backup, and it crashed again.
It seems that the crashes are happening when Time Machine tries to backup to my Time Capsule.
Anyone have any ideas for me to try to get it working correctly, or any ideas on what exactly might be causing it? Maybe a problem with my Time Capsule? I noticed on my wife's MacBook that her Time Machine backup had failed today too. Her MacBook has not had any system crashes though.

Hi Garner,
Yes, you'll erase it with Disk Utility (make sure that you don't have any other information on the drive that you don't want to lose!).
So when you try backing up the other machine manually, does it work? If your other backup is actually working, you might want to try just erasing the old backups for the one machine that won't work and see if that helps (to avoid backing up both all over again). Just because my experience was that we had to format the drive doesn't mean that you'll necessarily have to.
And yes, if you don't ever mount the drive outside of Time Machine, that should be OK.
Hope that helps! Enjoy the long, boring backup process (sorry about that...).

I assume you mean the "Option" key. Have you used the DU to check the disk and verify permissions? You might also have to zap your PRAM

"NO NAME" is quite normal. You can rename it in Windows or, if you are formatted FAT32, in Leopard. DO NOT use any special characters in the name. Just letters, numbers and spaces

Macbook Air Freezes when Time Machine backup starts

My Macbook Air (OS 10.5.5) has started freezing up whenever a Time Machine backup begins. I get the dark shade screen telling me that it has crashed and to hard power off. Everything was working well before, including the Time Machine backups, and the only changes I have made are the Apple updates. At first I thought it was random crashes, but I soon discovered that turning off Time Machine stops the problem (though obviously does not fix it). I've tried restarting and turning Time Machine back on, but it still makes the computer crash within a minute of the start of the backup process. The backup goes to a Time Capsule. I have not seen this problem on any of my other macs on the same network including a Macbook Pro that backs up to the same Time Capsule. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be and how to fix it?

To be honest,no I don't know why you are having this problem.
It looks like a specific problem with your MBA which could be a hardware problem (RAM most likely here) or a bad sector problem on the hard disk. If you own a copy of TechTool or something similar, run a full hardware systems check. If you don't own TechTool, run the Apple Hardware check from the MBA System install disk.
And, it could be a software problem. I don't know if this sequence will help, but do it anyway because it seems to solve problems on other Leopard systems.
1.) Disable Time Machine back ups
2.) Open Disk Utility and Run Repair Permissions
3.) Run Verify Disk. If it passes go to step 4.
4.) Download the 10.5.5. Combo Updater from http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_5_ComboUpdate
5.) Run the Combo Updater and restart
6.) Run Disk Utility Repair Permissions again
Then enable Time Machine and keep your fingers crossed.
Let me know if any of that helps.

Why do i get the alert window when i try to email photos from iphoto?

Each time i try to email photos from iphoto i get a window with an exclamation mark over the iphoto logo. I'm guessing that the email has not been sent but why?

Go to the photo that you're trying to email and double click on it. If the resulting window has the exclamation mark that means that iPhoto has broken the file path/link to the original file.
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run Option #4 to rebuild the database
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
or
Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
menu option to rebuild the library.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Error message I'm getting is "Couldn't load XPCOM", when i try to start FF from the Desktop icon

error mssg = "Couldn't load XPCOM" when I click the icon on my desktop to start FF. I don't know what XPCOM is or how to fix it.

Just in case someone else stumbles across this:
I experienced the same problem - no real idea of the cause, though it appeared after an unexplained BSOD on a Vista machine (which in turn happened after I had to clone then swap out my existing C drive - all had been running for a few days after the drive swap - I'm usually 'on' 24/7, but this time period had included several voluntary reboots, so all appeared to be functioning OK after the swap, before the BSOD.
Anyway, after reading many threads similar to this one, my own fix was stupidly simple and has proven to be 100% effective: I simply went to Mozilla and downloaded the current version of Firefox - I then just let it do its own thing and 'upgrade' my current installation, and a few minutes later, Firefox is up and running with all of my setings, add-ins etc fully intact and operational!

Getting email but when opened the message isn't from sender, from 2008

Just started today. Getting email and when opening the message is from an old email Dec 2008 and not from sender. I have Aol as isp and the good message is on aol. What is up?

You mean in Safe Boot attempt, the Radian never stopped?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.

Problems with Audio Stutter when moving minimizing/maximizing windows

I am using an Emu 1820m (ASIO driver) with AA3.0. I'm using the same ASIO driver mode in both edit and multi-track view.
In multi-track view, I can have several tracks going (i.e., 24 tracks as I type this) and the audio is fairly rock solid. I can go to other programs, move windows around, minimize/maximize windows, etc. and the audio is glitch free. This is while running the Emu 1820m at 48k/24-bit and 2ms latency!
However, in the single edit view, this is another story. When I have an audio playing in the edit view, I get many audio glitches with audio events. The worst is when I minimize/maximize any window (not just AA3). I get a "brzzzzzt" while the window minimizes/maximizes. I can make this stop by disabling animations when minimizing/maximizing windows; however, why does mult-track view behave fine even with animations on?
Also, in single edit view, moving windows around causes a lot of dropouts in audio (but again, not in multi-track view.)
Can anyone shed any light as to what is going on here?
A very extreme case to show the problem even further:
In multi-track view, load up some tracks and play them. Now run dxdiag (while the multi-tracks are playing) and on the display tab, run the Direct3D tests. Even with the Direct3D tests running, the AA3.0 audio plays flawlessly while in multi-track mode. Now, play a file in Edit mode. Do the same test with dxdiag while the file is playing - GLITCH CITY!
This doesn't happen in other audio programs I have (i.e., Sound Forge, Sonar, etc.)
Please, someone, shed some light on this issue!
My system is:
+ Intel Q6600 2.4 quad core G0 stepping @ 3.20
+ Arctic pro freezer 7 cooler
+ 4 gigs (2 sticks of 2 gigs) of G.Skill DDR2 1066 ram (PC2 8500)
+ Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3P Mobo
+ Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce 8600GTS 256MB PCI Express graphics
+ Rosewill RP600V2-S-SL 600W SLI Ready-ATX12V V2.01 PSU
+ Seagate Barracuda ES.2 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive (system)
+ Seagate Barracuda ES.2 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive (user/recording)
+ Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive (samples)
+ Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive (backup)
+ Emu 1820m PCI Audio
+ Sunbeam Silent Storm IC-SS-SVBK Case
+ SAMSUNG 20X DVD±R DVD Burner Model SH-S203N
+ Windows XP Pro SP2

SteveG, I don't believe it is an 1820m issue at all. Do you have a single or multi-core processor? This behavior did not occur on my old P4 3GHz system. I only started observing it when I built this quad core system about a month ago.
By the way, today I replaced my mobo with one of the same brand and model and the behavior still exists (to rule out a defective mobo.) I've also tried 3 different video cards (although they were all NVIDIA) and the problem remains no matter which card I use.
Durin,
As I was typing the first post, I verified that I was using the Emu 1820m ASIO driver in both Edit and Multitrack views. (As I was writing it, it crossed my mind that I might have it set to something else in one mode.) However, it is the same in both.
One thing I forgot to mention is that there is one more app that behaves similarly (Reaper). All other apps (Sonar, FL Studio, eXT, Ableton Live, Sound Forge, Wavosaur) do not show this behavior and are rock solid.
If you'd like to see my thread about this behavior in Reaper (and others who can reproduce it) see here: http://www.cockos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19036
I believe Sonar, FL Studio, eXT, Ableton Live, Sound Forge, Wavosaur, etc.. are doing something properly when playing back audio and/or initializing plugins that Adobe Audition and Reaper are failing to do properly with certain hardware configurations.

I have a laptop with Windows 7, and when the machine is turned off it loses all the user names

I have a Gateway Laptop with Windows 7, 64 bit. When the machine is turned off, and then
back on it loses all it's user names that have been remembered.

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically.<br />
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.
In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Cookies
*do not clear the Site Preferences
*do not clear the Saved Passwords
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

Don't, Time Machine knows nothing about Windows, and vice versa.

Windows 8.1 will not keep the correct time on Dell PC - Clock worked fine when the machine had Windows 7 as OS.

I can set it manually or by Internet time sync but it does not keep time or update again from the Internet automatically.
Another real time wasting feature of Windows 8? Gosh Microsoft, I really need to get some productive work done!

Hi,
Meanwhile, you can also re-register time service in your Windows 8.1 system as a test
Open commmand prompt
In the Command window type net stop w32time
Type w32tm /unregister
Type w32tm /register
Type net start w32time
Check whether the time in your BIOS is correct.
If the Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 use different machines, and this issue only happened after you shut down your Windows 8.1 machine, then it might be the CMOS battery issue in your Windows 8.1 machine, you can consider to change a cmos battery.
