Reset All Dialog Boxes Registry

Hi I am working on a machine at present where the graphics card isn't up to spec but it runs photoshop fine. However I get the usual dialog about downloading updated graphics driver and referring you to the website for information on OpenGL etc. If I click okay and dont show this removed the dialog on startup however this needs to be done across multiple machines and I was wondering if there is a registry entry that is changed when this dialog is accepted? I also know if you go to Edit>Preferences>General - Reset all Dialog boxes. This will reset so I am pretty sure it is a registry key just not sure of which one.
Any input would be much appreciated..
Thanks in advance

You could export the entire registry, then reset the dialogs, then export it again, doing nothing or as little as possible in between. Then use a text file comparison tool and see what changed.

Adobe Reader XI all dialog box's corrupt

It looks like any dialog box in XI is corrupt. This machine is windows 7 pro 32 bit OS.
I have uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled, used Adobe cleaner on it and reinstalled rebooting each time. I have installed Segoe font as one user had said resolved their problem in a previous search. Nothing has changed the results.

all dialog box's look like this regardless of which box you pull up.

Button launch shutdown/reset/logout dialog box script

Remember when you had a button that would ask you if you wanted to shutdown/reset/logout? Wouldn't it be nice to have it back?
Is there a script where I could assign a Function key to bring up that dialog box?

Just press the Control and Eject keys at the same time. Voila!

The pop-up dialog box, such as on Facebook, is truncated. It chops off the command buttons.

The pop-up dialog boxes, such as those on Facebook, are truncated. The boxes are 1/2 of normal size with the bottom 1/2 gone, including the command buttons, making it useless. Since yesterday evening, ALL dialog boxes on Facebook and Zynga are affected. I can't post anything from the pop-up boxes.

Has anyone else seen this dialog box graphical phenomenon?

Hi,
I'm running 10.5.4 on a MacBook Pro (4,1) and have noticed a strange effect on some dialog boxes in Leopard - darker grey blocks appear around text, controls and buttons within the dialog box. The effect occurs on both the MacBook Pro display and the Cinema Display it is connected to.
See the following links for examples:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jammylammy/2732289268
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jammylammy/2735071703
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jammylammy/2738394376
So far it appears in dialog boxes from Entourage, Photoshop & Illustrator (both CS2 & CS3) and iTunes. I initially thought it was only occuring in PowerPC apps running under Rosetta but iTunes is a native Intel app.
Not all dialog boxes are affected - it doesn't appear in Safari, for example:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jammylammy/2735078907
The boxes are still perfectly usable and it doesn't appear to be a monitor brightness issue as it occurs whatever the brightness setting. I wondered if it was related to the Nvidia graphics card issue (the Macbook Pro is fitted with a GeForce 8600M GT 512MB graphics card) but haven't been able to find any mention of this on these forums or through a wider Google search.
Has anyone else come across this strange phenomenon?
Thanks!

Isn't this just a situation where some apps' code is written differently than others?
It may well be yes. After more searching I found a similar thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7638343&#7638343
It may well be something as simple as Apple changing the default background colour for dialog boxes slightly. What puzzles me about that explanation is that the 'effect' occurs in iTunes 7.7 which was released just weeks ago - whereas Leopard's been out in the wild since last October.

Web dialoge boxes blacked out after safari update

After the last update to Safari 5.1.7 (7534.57.2) web dialoge boxes are blacked out in google Sketchup Ver. 8. The only reason (we) suspect it was Safari is a recent thread at Sketucation fourm in which many users of Sketchup that use Lion 10.7.4 seem to be the only ones effected by this maybe someone here can shed some light. There seems to be a workaroud in Sketchup by changing some css file but it's not working fo all dialoge boxes.

InDesign Dialog Box Preview

Hi All,
Anyone know a way of having the preview box checked in all dialog boxes by default?
Cheers
Rob

You can do it. Open InDesign, but don't open a document. Even, with no document open, most of the dialogue boxes from the drop-down menus at the top of the screen can be opened. Once opened, make any setting changes you want - including checking the preview box. When you hit OK, InDesign will use those settings as your new defaults. Wish I was that smart to have figured it out, got it from the indesigner somewhere along the way. http://www.theindesigner.com/blog/

I don't have my navigation bar at all. I tried to start in safe mode but I never get the dialog box the y say you should get to reset to defaults. Help?

All Office 2010 Applications Slow To Produce "OPEN" or "SAVE AS" Dialog Box ONLY When PC Connected To Network

Hello all,
Frustrating problem: ALL Office 2010 apps require a 45 second delay to produce an "open" or "save as" dialog box when the computer is connected to a LAN (wireless or wired, domain or workgroup). When the computer is NOT connected to a LAN (wireless or wired,
domain or workgroup), then Office 2010 "open" or "save as" dialog boxes open normally (and quickly).
I suspect a network search/survey function internal to MS Office is at fault.
This is NOT the infamous mapped network drive problem associated with Office 2007/2010. There are no mapped drives (nor have there ever been) on the PC, although there might exist a related solution. Additionally, there is no 45 second delay when opening
a file by double-clicking on the file itself which will launch the application.
Other information:
1. PC runs Windows 7 Pro 32 bit - PC is a relatively new Lenovo T400 laptop, all updates from Lenovo and MS installed, running clean and nicely otherwise, no spyware, no viruses, no previous software or hardware issues requiring assistance. Event log is
clean.
2. Absolutely fresh installation of Office 2010 Pro Plus (MS Action Pack)
3. Running Office apps in safe mode does not alter problem behavior (ie, "windword.exe /a" or use CTRL key and double-click to launch app)
4. Running Windows 7 in safe mode with networking and then subsequently testing Office apps is not possible: "license not able to validate" issue. This is a known problem and is not related to the slow dialog box response behavior.
5. A desktop PC with the same MS Office 2010 installation, same volume license key, on the same network does NOT produce this problem.
6. Full uninstall, reboot, and re-install of Office 2010 does not alleviate problem
7. Disabling ALL startup items and services (including, of course, ALL Lenovo management software) does not alleviate problem
8. SMB v2 bug is not the problem: ie, disabling mrxsmb20 service does not alleviate symptoms.
9. I have isolated "Client for Microsoft Networks", "QOS Packet Scheduler", "Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver" (and Responder), and "Printer and File Sharing for MS Networks" in the network adapter properties are NOT causing the issue.
10. Using Sysinternals Registry Monitor, I was able to determine that Office apps evaluate certain properties of your Internet Explorer settings before attempting to launch the "open" or "save as" dialog box. Altering the way intranets are detected, for
example, does not alleviate the symptoms.
11. Turning off Antivirus software (Avira Personal) does not alleviate the issue.
This issue is causing a huge loss of work efficiency. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Rick

Hello Rick,
Through all the research I have done so far and talking with a few other coworkers what the common issues that cause this are is:
1. Antivirus: disabling the antivirus is not good enough it needs to be totaly uninstalled and retested.
2. startup programs: these need to be disabled through either Safe mode with networking or the start menu or MSconfig.
3. Office addins: Disable all of them see if that helps. Then turn them back on one by one to see which addin is causing the issue.
To disable addins: 1. open up regedit and navigate to this key. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Addins and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins
Then change the LoadBehavior to 0 this will disable the addin. 3 lets it run. Since this affected only one user HKEY_LOCAL_USER might be your best bet but don't rule out the other location.
To verify there are no addins running go to the File tab>options>Add-Ins make sure nothing is listed under Active Application Add-ins.
I hope this helps
Thanks,

Adobe CS5 Applications open/save dialog boxes size always resets

So, since the Mountain Lion update, all of my Adobe CS5 save/open window dialog boxes reset their size each time. In my case they are too small, causing me to have to enlarge the window out every time, to be able to see file names/locations etc.
Not a massive issue, but rather annoying when I think of the time I'm wasting resizing windows hundreds of times a day, especially as this never used to happen.
Is this an Adobe issue?
Can anyone using Adobe CS6 on Mountain Lion tell me if they experience this too?
Anyone on using Adobe CS5 on OSX-10.8.2 experienced this too, any suggestions?

I came here looking for this very same help. It is driving me crazy. It happened when I recently updated to Mountain Lion. It has to be a Mountain Lion problem, as I'm using the very same Adobe products that I've used for years and it never occurred before.
I'm also having the problem with Mountain Lion resizing my coverflow finder windows every time I open them. Also completely annoying.
How do I get the windows (saving and coverflow) to stay in the same position as I last had them versus resetting to some default position every time I open them or click on a new file? Very annoying.

Dialog Boxes Will not reset

I recently bought a new computer and transferred all of my ipod's library to the new computer using an external hard drive. The transfer all went fine and I have complete access for my library however, when I tried to sync the ipod, a dialog box asked me if I wanted to overwrite it. I selected the "do not ask me again" box and hit cancel because I wanted to double check and make sure I had everything first. Now the ipod will not resync. I have tried resetting the sync history as well as the dialog boxes. I even reset the ipod to factory settings but nothing is working. Is there anything else I can do besides use the ipod as an expensive paperweight?

+but the itunes library itself isn't an issue.+
Not to be argumentative, but the itunes library IS the issue if you are got a message that the ipod is synced with another PC, do you want to erase and sync. Perhaps I misunderstood your first post.
An ipod reset is the thing with the center button, explained here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
But if you've already restored it to factory settings, never mind resetting it!
A shift-start means you press AND HOLD the shift key while starting itunes, keep pressing until you see an option to create a new library or choose an old one.
Are you confident that all your items are on your PC and safe? If so, you could see if the ipod would sync to a new blank library. Either using the shift-start, or opening itunes in a different windows user account. Actually the new user is probably a better test, since I know it has completely different preference files.
This one's a stumper. I've never heard of an pod doing this sort of thing after a factory restore. So, it must be some obscure file on the PC causing it.
I wonder...if you go into the ituens store, look at your account, there is a button to reset warnings about buying stuff. It says nothing about ipod syncing, but I wonder if it would give you back the option to get warned again.

A dialog box, "resetting vi: some.vi" comes up when exiting labview.

On closing labview, a dialog box comes up. It says "resetting vi:nameofsome.vi". It stays open and will not allow wondows to shut down normally. This started when I added a DAQassistant for a frequency measurement on a usb 9401. I appreciate any comments.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is a really good chance that this is happening because you are using the "Abort VI" button in the toolbar. It is always best, when using a while loop, to allow all processes to finish before aborting the VI. This is particularly important when using driver VIs, such as DAQmx. I have linked a KB on this matter that you can look into. I hope this helps!

File open dialog box broken in all apps! ( 10.5.6/7

Hi, I've got a very odd problem that Apple phone support seem to be unable to solve.
Basically, every file open dialog box system wide is broken, from file->open in textedit to the browse button on websites for uploading files.
When trying to display this finder panel, it beachballs for ten seconds then gives me a grey area where the usual finder browser usually resides and the open / cancel buttons at the bottom of the panel.
I've repaired permissions which had no effect.
The finder works perfectly other than it's little file open dialog which other applications use...
Updating to 10.5.7 did nothing to fix the issue.
Does anybody have any idea how to resolve this?
Thanks!
chris.

V.K. had you create another user to eliminate the possibility that it is a preference file causing the problem. It was reported the problem remained with another user, so the problem is system wide, not with a single user's preferences.
The Archive & Install is relatively painless. It only replaces the system and leaves everything else untouched. What is replaced is saved in a new folder it creates named Previous System, in case there is something there you might want to bring back (most often 3rd party files, but I have never needed anything from the Previous System folder).
The only hassle with the A & I is resetting preferences. If you check the option during the A & I to retain user settings, there is usually not very much that needs resetting.

I just statred Flash CC for the first time and it seems that the text within the pop-up window (dialog box) is mis-aligned and not allowing me access to the command buttons, nor all the text. (ie: the NEW Template Box, can't see but 2/3 of the content)

i am on a Windows 7 professional PC, 64-bit.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.
