Prevent OS X from changing Monitor Resolution

I purchased a 19" LCD monitor the other day. It's a third-party FujiPlus FP-988D monitor. It has a variety of resolutions, however, changing to any of them ends up making it go "out of range".
So, my problem is that I have a game, "Nemo" which insists on changing the resolution to play the game. I tried loading it up with 'option' and also tried doing command-M to get it into a windowed mode but neither works.
So the game loads and the monitor heads 'out of range' and I have to quit it (command-Q) to get it to go back to normal.
I would like to somehow force OS X to prevent resolution changes so the game is forced to use the current resolution or quit.

Turns out the answer to this is my video card will not support other resolutions with the ADC port. It's too old.

Prevent a user from changing the Project ID in P6 EPPM 8.3.7

Does anyone know if there is a Global or Project Security Profile privilege that will prevent a user from changing the Project ID on an existing Project? We are using Primavera P6 EPPM 8.3.7
Thank you,

Changing monitor resolution with proper aspect ratio

My project size is 800x600 and I wanted to provide an option to the user to change their monitor resolution at 800x600 by clicking on button. I have also planned to do it by using buddy api xtra, and already tested it. The problem is, when I am doing this on a PC with panoramic monitor (native resolution 1920x1080), it got stretched. I know it's very natural (as the aspect ratio has changed ) and I can get it in shape by squeeze the width using 'draw.rect'.
I noticed, there are some PCs with advanced display card that don't even get stretched, but shows the 800x600 resolution in proper aspect ratio by keeping the extra space black both sides. And I don't need to write any further codes (squeeze the width using 'draw.rect') to keep it in shape.
The real problem starts here, I can't able to filter the above situations by any logical means. I wanted to write codes only for the PCs that get stretched, but I didn't able to find any support from Director to determine which type of display card has been attached. I need to know whether it will get stretched, or the display card can able to manage the aspect ratio.
Any one have any solution in this matter?
Please don't hesitate to ask if you need any more info.

You don't need an xtra to change the resolutions - but you do have to work a few things - I tend to use flash text because it scales better.

How to programmatically prevent a list from changing

Hi
I want to be able to add a trigger to a list that if the list is changed it will validate some conditions and prevent or allow the change to occur. I tried to raise form_trigger_failure from when-list-change but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Example for Emp Table dept Dept no
1.Make it as LIST
2. Item Trigger ->When-List-Changed
3.Put Bleow code which will check -if dept 10 is selected you will get below message
message('TRigger- When List Changed');
message('TRigger- When List Changed');
If :Deptno1=10 then
message('Deptno1= 10 is selected');
RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
End If;
IT will work

HT201304 iOS parental controls do not prevent the child from changing the device passcode.

So the parent cannot get into the device at all unless the child provides the passcode. Sure, the device can be taken away until the child provides the passcode, but why don't parental controls just prevent the passcode from being changed? Either that, or the parental control passcode should allow the parent to get into the device, over-riding the passcode lock.

We are not Apple iOS programmers. Just device users like yourself.

Preventing local admin from changing root password

Is it possible to prevent a local admin from changing the root password? I would like to set up a computer so that the user has admin rights, but cannot change the root password via a terminal shell to gain root access.

I can't provide you with details, but I'm sure that all you need to do is to edit the sudoers file. It needs to be edited with <visudo> when logged in as root in a Terminal. The location is </private/etc/sudoers>, but you don't need to know that when using <visudo>. From a first look I'd suppose you only have to uncomment the %admin line, but better get some more information. I never did this myself.

How do I prevent tab focus from changing when I scroll tabs with the mouse wheel? [SOLVED]

Whenever I scroll my tabs with the mouse scroll wheel the tab focus changes from the page I'm currently on to the tab being scrolled to. I usually have a large list of tabs open and I depend on being able to scroll tabs without changing page focus to keep myself organized.
Also, I'd like to disable tab scroll wrapping; Once I've scrolled my tabs to the end I'd like it to stop scrolling, not wrap around to the start of my tabs.
Is there a way to disable these features and revert to the tab scrolling behaviour of a previous version of Firefox?

This is not a standard feature and can be caused by an extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Prevent Time Machine from changing device icon...

When I use Time Machine on a disk, it changes the icon. In my particular circumstance, I don't want to do this as the attached device is a Drobo containing lots of other stuff, and I'd rather keep the default icon (a nice picture of the Drobo itself).
How do I do this?

Thomas A Reed wrote:
You should not be mixing Time Machine backups and other data on the same volume. TM will fill the volume, which will make it difficult to work with other files on that volume.
As I understand it, Time Machine only performs differential backups, so unless I'm regularly creating and destroying large amounts of data, it probably won't use much disk space at all?
If you wish to do this, you should partition the Drobo into two volumes, one for the TM backups and one for the other stuff.
An annoying feature of Drobo (that I discovered after purchasing) is that their website both recommends and discourages this! The Drobo software only works properly if you create one volume using Drobo dashboard. If you partition the disk, Drobo then only sees (and reports on) the first partition. Adding more disks to (or upgrading disk capacity in) the Drobo only increases the size of the second partition, so you have to make the first one your fixed-size Time Machine partition. When I tried this, it seemed to affect the blue lights on the front of the Drobo, which also only reported on the Time Machine partition - the very partition I don't care about as Time machine manages itself!
Of course, if you do that, be aware that backing up data from one partition onto the TM backup on another partition is no good... it would all still be on the same drive, and thus all gone when the drive fails.
This is only true of a single external disk. In a RAID (or RAID-like) system, when a single drive fails, your data is preserved while you source a replacement disk.
Anyway, all of this is a distraction from my original post, which remains unanswered.

How can I prevent network administrator from changing Firefox 35.0.1 homepage

each morning I copy a "cfg" file into my Mozilla directory which gives me my desired homepage. Each night network updates and homepage is changed to the company's default homepage...Thanks

hello Kropotkin, it's probably better to contact your administrator about this issue as we can't know how things are deployed and set up in your environment and what kind of tasks/scripts run over night...

Preventing conky-cli from changing size in dwm

Having conky-cli in the status bar suits my needs perfectly, but there's one annoying problem. When the amount of numbers are changing, the width of the conky-bar changes. This makes the width of the windowtitle to the left of it change continuously as well.
How can i make conky-cli having a fixed width?

Prevent Mac OS X from changing resolution

I have a Mac Mini connected to my Sony 46xbr8 HDTV, and every time I turn the TV off, Mac OS X changes screen resolution to what seems to be arbitrary one. Just now it switched to 1280x1024, screwed all windows up along the way, and even if I connect to it via a Remote Desktop and change the resolution back to 1920x1080 - the system menu remains 1280 pixels wide, and the rest of the space where the menu should be is empty.
Is there a way to prevent Mac OS X from changing the resolution (other than leaving my TV on at all times)?

So, is there no other way to prevent Mac OS X from changing resolutions, when the TV is off??? It wouldn't have been a problem, if it didn't change all open window sizes, but every time I turn on the TV - all windows become tiny...
I've installed Windows 7 in BootCamp on the Mac Mini, and God, it works SO MUCH BETTER than Apple's own OS on their own computer!!! It does indeed look like now Windows 7 "just works", and Apple's Mac OS X - "just doesn't"... So far it looks like Apple is losing it...

How to prevent user from changing a field on a Form.

I have a form and a report on the same page. The form is used to set criteria for the report. So after the criteria is entered on the form a button is clicked, which passes the criteria to the report. The form also displays some additional data based on the criteria, i.e. I do a query on the form.
The problem I'm having is preventing the user from changing the additional data which is displayed. I tried all the wizzard options; i.e. not updatable, not insertable etc. but the user can still change the data.
The only options seems to be writting some Java code for one of the triggers, but I haven't written any Java before.
So I was wondering if anyone has a non-Java solution for this problem or an example of a Java program I could use to solve the problem.
Thanks for any help
Larry

Hi,
Suppose you want Empno, Sal fields of Employee table as Query only and all other fields user updateable then
uncheck all the three check boxes
Mandatory , Updatable , Insertable under validation options for those fields.
When you run the form, these fields appear as text items in query mode and will appear labels once the querying done.
Hope it works
Madhav
