Question about pop up windows
Every time I log onto the solaris system at my college, there are about 25 windows that pop up. I can't do anything else until I've cleared them all off of the screen, because they slow down the computer. If anyone can offer any help to get rid of these things, I would greatly appreciate it. Just remember that I'm not a computer savvy person in the least, so the simpler the explaination, the better.
Thanks again!,
Heather
What kind of windows are they? What do they say?

Removing software from leopard.(rookie question) And Pop-up Windows?
I downloaded some photo software that came with the camera, of course it was no good, How do I go about deleting it from my macbook?
Also, I occasionally have began getting a pop up window on my mac, it just comes up and stays in the back ground, I never even notice it until I close everything else down. Any tips on how to do away with that?normally, removing software is simply by deleting the programme from your applications folder.
say, your unwanted app is called "xxxx"; find "xxxx" in your apps folder and delete. Occasionally, you got an "uninstall" command in your "disk image" (xxxx.dmg) file; you would need to open the dmg file and click on "uninstall" if it's there. Once you know your way around, you'll also find the appropriate "preference" files, which is usually in your home folder/library/preferences, and might be called something like "com.xxxx.plist".
There are programmes around to make this task easy, but I have never used them:

hi there, i have a page with a few quiz quesitons on it and i
have a link to open up a pop-up box with the answer. however, in
order to use the behaviors panel to make the link, i had to put a
"#" sign into the text of the link. the problem is that i think
this is making the page jump to the very top when the link is
clicked. you can see the page here:
http://www.traceyfern.com/buffalomusic.html
is there another way that i can get the pop-up window to open
as it does yet not have the originating page jump to the top? any
advice would be appreciated.
thanks!
deniseChange your code to this:
<a href="buffaloquiz/question1.html"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow(this.href,'','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=350,height=450' );return
false">click for answer</a>
That will work, but, having said that, in my opinion opening
a popup
window to see the answer is more than a little ponderous.
Take a look
at my divaFAQ DW Extension, as I really think it would be
better option
for your page.

Question about FireFox Hello - window view
Hi!
I have a question concerning FireFox Hello.
When I invite somebody to a conversation, 'small window' view is enabled (I mean video conversation is shown in small window in the left bottom corner of my browser).
On the other hand, when I was invited, the conversation was displayed in whole tab.
Is there an option to choose / change proper view?
Thank you in advance.
Greetings!When you've got the small window, you can expand it out to a separate window and you can then resize it however you wish. See the image below - its the arrow that sits next to the X and points to the top-right.
You can't currently put the tab into the small window, although we are currently discussing using the same small window UX in future versions of Firefox so you won't have the tab view (but you will be able to pop-out etc). -
Questions about using Styles Window for formatting a book in Apple Works.
Help says "You can create your own styles in any document type." Not clear on how to do that.
I wish to have one Style or group of Styles associated with one document of say 500 pages for a book. Each chapter Heading. as a single column layout, is separated by Section Breaks from previous and following text in 2 column layout.
Question 1. How do I make Styles window settings (Edit/Done) specific for this entire document? Can I edit settings in Styles window and have them remain specific and locked to this particular document? Or are the Styles window settings constant across all documents?
Question 2. (If Styles window settings are not specific and locked to this document) Do I need to make a NEW Style for each purpose within the document, as in Book Heading, Book Subheading, Book Body, Book special paragraph style, and etc.
Question 3. When importing multiple sections of the work (by copy and paste) from other AW documents how can I have the imported text follow the book’s Style settings (and vice versa how to keep tab settings that are specific in some areas). Sometimes the imported work refuses to conform to the Book document’s style say line spacing for instance.
Thank you

iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) AppleWorks 6.2.9Hi Hilary,
I haven't used styles enough to give definitive answers to your questions, but I'm sure others will join in and correct any errors in what follows.
A "Style" is essentially a set of paragraph level format settings that can be collectively applied to a paragraph or contiguous set of paragraphs as a set, rather than having to apply each attribute individually. Once a style is applied to various parts of a document, changes made to the style specification will apply to every part of the document to which that style has been applied.
AppleWorks also includes two other types of Styles—Outline styles (Diamond, Harvard and Legal), used to identify hierarchical levels of paragraphs, and Table styles, used to format tables.
Question 1: From the Help article "Using Styles":
You can copy the collection of all the styles available in a document and make them available in another document. This is called exporting and importing a stylesheet.
I read this as saying that styles you create are specific to the document in which they are created, but may be exported to other documents. "Other documents" would includes documents saved as templates, which could be used to create the various sections of a book.
Question 2:
As the set of styles is specific to the document it is created in (or into which it is imported), you can probably leave "Book " off the names of the styles (but may decide that leaving it on makes it easier to know what the styles are for). You will need to use an existing style or create a new one for each purpose within the document.
Question 3:
Copy copies the text AND formatting of the selected material.
Paste pastes the text AND formatting of the selected material.
Paste also inserts the pasted material into the target document at the insertion point. All of the pasted material goes into the same Section. If the pasted material includes a section break, then a new section will be created in the target document.
If you export the set of styles from the master document and apply them to the parts of the source document before transferring the material to the master document, I suspect the formatting will be carried over.
Another possibility is to leave the source document with no formatting at all beyond paragraph breaks, and to apply the formatting (styles) after transferring the text.

File Saving.. question about Mac and Windows..
Hi all!
Just a quick question, is there anything that needs to be considered between saving a file from a java application on either Mac or Windows? Or does java "do" the work and I don't have to worry?
So far I saved some text from using my application on a Mac but havent got to a PC yet, and would rather make the changes now..
ThanksFYI, this is just on my iphone, not when I view through the web or on my iPad. This is how it looks on my iPhone though... 2 iCloud accounts? Please help.

Question about resizing a window
hi,
i have a null-layout window which is resizable. the origin size is e.g. 500x300. my question: how can i manage it that resizing is only possible up to specific values for height and width, e.g. 300x150? in other words: i want to define the smallest possible size to which my window could be minimized.
thanks for every advice!
kind regards,
reinholdhi and thanks for your replies!
sorry, i think that the desciption of my problem was not exact enough. here a second attemt: my frame is an input-mask with (for the time being) five buttons on the right side ("add", "edit", "clear", "update" and "close"). the first (upper) three buttons move their x-position dynamic when the frame is enlarged in width. they have a fixed y-pos. the lower two buttons move also dynamic: when the frame is enlarged in width they behave as the upper three buttons but when the frame is enlarged in height they change their y-pos dynamic to the frame's height. so they 'move away' in y-pos from the other three buttons. my first problem was, that when i reduce the frames height then the lower two buttons can be moved over the upper three buttons. i have solved this with the following componentListener:
contentPane.addComponentListener(new ComponentAdapter() {
public void componentResized(ComponentEvent event) {
// position of the upper 3 buttons: x-pos dynamic to frame.width, y-pos. fixed
addButton.setBounds(event.getComponent().getWidth()-120,15,100,20);
editButton.setBounds(event.getComponent().getWidth()-120,45,100,20);
deleteButton.setBounds(event.getComponent().getWidth()-120,75,100,20);
// position of the lower 2 buttons: x-pos dynamic to frame.width, y-pos dynamic to frame.height
updateButton.setBounds(event.getComponent().getWidth()-120,event.getComponent().getHeight()-60,100,20);
closeButton.setBounds(event.getComponent().getWidth()-120,event.getComponent().getHeight()-30,100,20);
// check minimal frame.height (165). if reached, fix y-pos of the lower two buttons
// so they cannot be moved over the upper three buttons
if (event.getComponent().getHeight() <=165) {
updateButton.setBounds(event.getComponent().getWidth()-120,105,100,20);
closeButton.setBounds(event.getComponent().getWidth()-120,135,100,20);
}); that works fine, but my next (and main-) problem is, that i want to make it possible, that -if the height of 165 is reached- the BORDER of the frame could not be downsized anymore so that all 5 buttons remain allways visible. therefor i've found no solution in the forum's threads.
thanks for all tips!

Question about 23" ACD, windows XP, Bios & AGP card
I bought a 23" ACD for my wife's computer, not realizing that an issue with displaying the BIOS existed. ( We Mac users are deprived of messing with BIOS, fortunately).
Two questions.
As the last thread about this is nearly a year old, is there anyone out there with an AGP card that successfully sees the BIOS on boot-up and has a card useful for intensive PowerPt use. Could you please post the exact card used.
And, anyone care to explain why some cards cannot show the BIOS on boot-up while others can.
thanks in advance.

Question about CS2 on Windows Vista 64 bit
Hi! I am having the following problem with trying to use CS2 on a new machine running Windows Vista (64bit). Can anyone shed some light or suggest a solution? Thanks!
I recently tried to install my CS2 suite on an HP G70t, running 64-bit Windows Vista. I installed, uninstalled, and installed again the CS2 suite. The installation goes OK, but when I start the programs, Illustrator simply shuts down, InDesign gives an error message that the serial number is invalid, and Photshop gives the followng error message: "Your Photoshop username, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application
cannot continue and must now exit. " I verfied my activation and registration with a phone call to HP Customer Service --these are fine. I tried to use the Adobe web support, but they refuse to provide any assistance for CS2.Thanks, Michael. I had read in one of the Adobe documents that although CS2
didn't support Vista, it had been reported that it did upload and work with
minimal problems. Perhaps that just isn't true.
Appreciate your response.
Tom
Quoting Michael Kazlow <[email protected]>:
CS2 is not Vista compatible no less Vista 64 compatible.

Question about oradim and windows services
Hello.
I have a db instance on my W-XP Pro machine that was created with this command:
oradim -new -sid <my_sid> -startmode m -pfile <my_pfile>
Since the creation I only used to need to start the windows service in order to work with the db.
I decided to delete the instance.
oradim -delete -sid <my_sid>
Afterwards I recreated the instance:
oradim -new -sid <my_sid> -startmode m -pfile <my_pfile>
And now I have this strange situation:
First I need to start the windows service (although it does not startup the db) and then starting the db with sqlplus.
Would it be possible restoring to the initial situation?
Thanks in advance.Did you tried changing the database startup as Auto
oradim -edit -sid <my_sid> -startmode auto -SRVCSTART
systemThanks.
Although the above solution is working ok, I am also trying your solution but it seems there must be a syntax error:
D:\>oradim -edit -sid <my_sid> -startmode auto -SRVCSTART system
DIM-00036: Ha introducido una opci¾n no vßlida para el comando -DELETE
D:\>oradim -edit -sid <my_sid> -startmode a -SRVCSTART system
DIM-00003: Falta un argumento para el parßmetro
(I am sorry but I do not understand all the oradim options). -

Question about SPFILE on windows
10g R1, windows 2003 server.
From what I understand, the oracleservice<sid> with autostart TRUE will use the PFILE and not the SPFILE. I know I can redirect the init<sid>.ora to the SPFILE but is it possible to just null out the registry entry ORA_<sid>_PFILE to force it to use just the SPFILE?ORA_%ORACLE_SID%_PFILE: Location of the initialization parameter file.
Default Location: %ORACLE_BASE%\admin\DB_NAME\pfile\init.ora
Default location and name:
The default location of init.ora is $ORACLE_HOME/dbs> on unix and %ORACLE_HOME%\database on Windows. On Windows, the location can be changed by changing ORA_%ORACLE_SID%_PFILE.
The default name for the file is init$ORACLE_SID.ora (unix) or init%ORACLE_SID%.ora (windows).
However, it is possible to start the database with another init.ora file than the default one. In this case, there is no way to determine which init.ora was used when the database is running (at least up to Oracle 9i). -
Question about "Apply Now" window in Photoshop CS6
Is there a way to turn off such warning or notification windows like the "Apply Now" Yes or No window that appears after certain changes, such as resizing an image? Also frustrating that I have to reselect the Select tool in order for the change to take place. thanks for any help. I am a former Elements 8 to CS6 user, so I may be missing something.
Never having used a discussion board before, I am not sure how to even make a response to yours, but let’s see if this works. If I am in a .psd file, and say I resize an image…a photo. In order to make the resize take effect, I cannot just click my cursor onto another area of the file, as it won’t release that particular layer I am on. I have to go back to my tool box and select the Pointer Tool or select too again. Once I do that, Photoshop sends up a window asking if I want to apply my changes…every time. Does this make sense?
