Screen artifacts when expanding window

Anyone seen this and know the cause? When I drag the window larger I get the view below. I am not sure if it is a Photoshop issue or a system resource issue. 2.93 quad core Macpro 8GB Ram.

Actually that is hardly a solution, just a narrowing down of possible causes, because with OpenGL turned off you lose functionality for several features (Rotate View Tool for example).
You might try to update the driver for your graphic display card or see if changing the Advanced Settings (to Basic for example) can alleviate the problem, too.

Screen artifacts when using powerpoint / graphics card issue

Hello,
since the beginning we are having problems with our powerbook G4 and ibook when using powerpoint.
We have screen artifacts when selecting and deselecting any object. For a screenshot with explanations please see:

The problem was verified by the Apple store support team, who confirms the issue but cannot help.
The problem is persistent over all SW versions (Panther and Tiger).
We would be very happy about any useful idea or solution.
Thanks,

Update:
The problem still exists with the Powerpoint/Office version 11.3.0 (released this week).

[Forum FAQ] Go to Start Screen/Desktop when closing Windows Store App

After install Windows 8.1 Update 1, you will notice these things set by default even on touchscreen laptops and desktops:
Windows 8.1 now boots directly to the desktop.
Closing Windows Store Apps and go to desktop instead of Start Screen.
Besides option “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start” since Windows 8, another new option in Taskbar Properties “Show Windows Store app on taskbar” is used to control closing app behavior.
Features of "Show Windows Store app on taskbar"
When the setting is checked, all of the Windows Store apps that are currently running will display on taskbar. You can easily switch between Windows Store apps and your desktop and its applications through the taskbar. For mouse users,
you can also access the taskbar within a Windows Store app. Just move the mouse cursor to the button of the screen, the taskbar pops up.
When the setting is unchecked,
Windows Store apps have no minimize button, only Close button
Windows Store apps that are open are not visible on Taskbar
Windows Store apps can still be pinned to the taskbar
How do these two options work for closing app behavior?
Modern app and Taskbar setting
OFF
ON
Boot to desktop setting
OFF
Close goes to Start
Close reveals the app that was previously used, and eventually dead ends at the Desktop
ON
Close goes to desktop
Close reveals the app that was previously used, and eventually dead ends at the Desktop
Know why “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start” does not work when “Show Windows Store app on taskbar” is checked on
As MironV mentioned in the
thread, Windows 8.1 Update is designed to introduce a number of changes for mouse and keyboard users that would help them use and switch between Windows Store apps alongside their familiar desktop applications. A lot of these changes only made sense when
combined together, so they are toggled by one setting, which is “Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar.” This is usually enabled together with the first setting as a complimentary set of improvements for desktop users. When the setting is enabled, Windows
Store apps are intended to feel more like regular maximized applications living on the desktop, though they are full screen only. For example, when you launch apps from Start, they appear on the taskbar until they are closed. You can also minimize them or
switch between them by invoking the taskbar.
Please understand that unchecking the “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start" setting has no effect on close and minimize behavior when the “Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar” setting is checked, since
they are controlling two independent things. If you tend to use only one Windows Store app at a given time, it may seem like we’re not respecting the setting by going to the desktop.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but on my desktop (using mouse and keyboard only) I like to have my Start screen as my main screen. To ensure this I made sure to uncheck the "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop" box and
check the "Show Start on the display I'm using when I press the Windows Logo key" box. I also really like having the task bar appear at the bottom even when I'm using a modern app. Based on the settings I've chosen (i.e., boxes I've checked or not checked),
I would expect to be taken back to the start screen and not the desktop whenever I close an app. From what I've read from your response and from others in this thread, in order to accomplish this function (i.e., closing an app and going directly to the
start screen) I need to uncheck the "Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar" setting. By doing this I get the functionality I was looking for when the apps are closed and I get sent to the start screen. However, I am now not able to see the taskbar
when I'm in a modern app or when I'm on the start screen. This seems counterintuitive/confusing as many have mentioned. Not to mention it creates an additional step for users to get back to the Start screen.
All I want to do is (1) use my start screen as my main screen, (2) see the taskbar when running whatever app I'm using (e.g., modern), and (3) go back to my start screen (and not the desktop) when I close an app. It would only make sense that I should
get these results if I leave the "Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar" box checked and the "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start" box unchecked; but unfortunately this is NOT the case. I really hope that
an update fixing this is coming sooner rather than later because this is really annoying.

Unable to change screen quality when accessing Window machine FROM my Mac

Hi there,
I've been playing around with a copy of Apple Remote Desktop 3.1 and I'm very happy with the results when connecting to a Mac Server from my MacBook. We have quite a slow line so I use the sceen adjuster on the top-right corner of the screen to make the remote screen black & white to speed up the connection. I have another server here which is Windows server running RealVNC. When I connect to that machine and try changing the screen quality to black & white, it does nothing Can anyone change the screen quality when connect to a Windows machine from a Mac running Remote Desktop? If so, could you tell me your setup please?

Powerbook G4 leaves tears, artifacts when closing windows

I have a Powerbook G4 1.67 178 inch. When I close or mimimize a windows, it leaves a piece of the windows also if I go over buttoms, they get all distorted. I try to use the Powerbook Graphic Upgrade 1.0 which is suppose to fix this issue, but it won't install.It says, I don't have the requiered hardware. I have OSX 10.4.8. Any ideas??

if new user did not work, could be OS X general problem or hardware.
maybe back up any important files to another dirve and run
OS 10.4 "archive and install."
if that does not work, erase the drive (after backing up important files) and clean install the OS.
if still does not work, could be hardware problem with logic board or display.

Bizarr screen artifacts! Anyone seen anything like it?

I,m getting really wierd screen artifacts when I have lots of windows and programs open. Red and blue boxes. The move around some. They cover the screen and are not window defined, ie the seem to be oblivious to windows. Seems to go away when I close some programs. They dont seem to be associated with particular program.

Since resetting (as mentioned in my post above) today the battery has had a new lease of life...not sure why, but there u go. I have been able to use it without hooking up to a power source for about 3 hours so far
I don't even know how to put my PC into "sleep" mode, so that wasn't the cause of my problem.
thanks for your suggestions though.
For now, the problem is resolved....just like to know why resetting helps the ipod battery or its meter at least.

When installing Windows 7 using Bootcamp, expanding windows files gets stuck at 65%?

I was installing Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on my Macboom Pro Retina with Bootcamp, and when it reached the "expanding windows files" stage, it got stuck at 0%. I waited a few minutes, and the percentage began to increase until it got to 65%, at which it stopped again. I left it for a while, but after coming back nearly an hour later, it was still stuck at 65%, so I canceled the installation by clicking the close button of the installation window. It froze after that. I could move my cursor, but I couldn't click anything. I got impatient and held down the power button to shut it down manually. When I restarted the Mac, it played the normal startup sound then went to a black screen with a blinking dash symbol in the upper left corner. It's now stuck on this screen. I'm scared I might have really screwed up my computer. What do I do?

Edit: Fixed it by just holding down the option key when it restarted. Don't know why I didn't think of that before. I also removed the partial Windows download and the whole Windows disc partition using Bootcamp.
I think the reason why it didn't work is because I used an OEM version of Windows 7, which is to say I bought the licence key off of some website for $35 and they emailed me with the key and an .iso of Windows 7. I read somewhere that using OEMs with Bootcamp is not recommended. But that leads me to another problem - I really do want Windows on my Mac since I have some programs that would only run on Windows and I bought PhotoShop Elements 12 for the Windows platform and to switch platforms I would need to upgrade to 13, which costs almost as much as buying the original. And I don't want to go buy a proper Windows installation disc, that would mean wasting the $35 I already spent.
So is there any way I can actually install Windows safely with my OEM version of it?

I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy.

All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy. I was not able to restart, I was not able to switch users, I was not able to shut down. I decided to manually shut down my Mac. when it booted back up I was looking at the disk utility screen. When I clicked on repair or race it indicated that my hard drive had already been arranged. I was looking at completely formatted drive and I was having to either restore from Time Machine or reinstall lion. I had a back up but why did this happen?

A possible workaround could be to have the horizontal scroll bar visible all the time.

I upgraded to OS Yosemite on my MacBook Air...and I cannot upgrade the Adobe Flash download that Adobe keeps asking me to download. I get the screen and when I click on the icon it just creates a new window but not download. Thoughts?

I just tried the link and it is just fine. If the GateKeeper pops up then open Security & Privacy preferences, click on the General tab, set the last radio button to Anywhere.

Macbook Pro 17" Black screen when selecting Windows 7

I got a Macbook Pro 17", late 2010 that has been experiencing an issue when selecting Windows 7 as my Boot OS. This is an intermittent issue. It happens like once every 8 or 10 usage. I already took it 2 the Apple Geniuses twice and I was turn around because, They say, They don't do Windows.
At this point, I'm hoping that Apple will come out with a Firmware Update or anything that will fix this issue. I know There are other users in the same boat as me or worst waiting for Apple to come out with a remedy.

You might want to reformat and re-read what you had.

IE11 in Windows 8.1 changes scale when moving window between screens

Hi,
I'm using Windows 8.1 with IE11 on a Dell Latitude E6510 with an external LG screen. I use both screens in my daily work and when I move a IE11 window from the internal screen in my laptop to the external LG screen, the scaling in IE11 changes and gets smaller.
It happens when the windows is halfway over to the external screen. On the way back it changes again and gets bigger. I've use the "One scaling for all my screens" in the Control Panel|Display applet without success. It's only IE11 that has this
behaviour, no other programs does this.
Brgds Jonas

Hi Brgds Jonas,
I agree with Robert Aldwinckle .
In addition, Windows 8.1 definitely seems to be doing some automatic display scaling here, as has been rumored based on beta builds of the OS.
The first option is for multiple monitors with different ppi. windows will choose for you based on what the ppi is. use trial and error until you get the size you want and both monitors will be about that size. if they are close in ppi it will not scale
them differently because I am pretty sure it only chooses from the default scaling sizes.
For more reference, you may refer to:

Images maximize (full screen) when switching windows?

When working with two or more images in Fireworks CS3 (Mac OSX 10.5.7)....
The image windows blast into full screen display when switching between images. I am new to CS3, (convert from Studio 8) but cannot find where to stop this irritating behaviour. I can correct by selecting Window>>Cascade - temporarily... But, when I click on another image window, that image blasts into full-screen again.
How can I stop this?
I really hate posting (usually preferring instead to lurk and scour the answers to my questions from previous posts). But, I am forced to post this question in hopes of a quick, simple solution to stop the lurching madness that makes me feel queasy every time my screen blasts an image into full screen mode..
Any help is appreciated... really, it is. :-)

OK, this is possibly a bug.
After restarting today, the problem did not occur until about an hour working with FW.
A restart did NOT stop it. So, I restarted again and tried three different files... It was fine for a while and then started the same thing again.
I am starting to lose hope that it is something I can do to prevent this. It appears that FW and Carbon are not playing together nicely.

Disk read error when booting Windows 7 / White screen / Screen frozen

Hello,
I installed Windows 7 and Mac OSx on Dual boot.
1) A problem arose when starting up. Sometimes the screen freezes after i have selected Windows 7 boot on BootCamp.
2) Second problem, when booting the screen is white and doesn't change.
3) Third problem, "Disk read error occured". This is the message that appears on the screen when booting Windows 7.
4) Fourth problem, a blinking folder with a Question Mark on it.
Please help with these problems.
Thank you for your help.

Windows insists that its Partition Map be set up the Windows way. No exceptions. If you use anything other than BOOT CAMP (or Open Source REFIt) to do the partition setup, it will not work.
WARNING: If you allow Windows to Modify the partition Map directly, Windows will clobber Mac OS X so completely that will require a complete Mac OS X Re-Install. Windows in not a pleasant guest.
Be certain you are using the correct version of BOOT CAMP to match Your Mac OS X, and check for which versions of Windows are supported under it.

Premier Elements 11 screen refresh when window not full screen

Hi,
Have following spec pc:
Pentium 4 3.6Ghz 2Gb Ram with NVidia GTS450 latest display drivers and windows XP service pack 3.
When running Premier elements in not full screen mode moving the window leaves window trails behind and screen does not refresh. In full screen things are ok?.
What can be causing this and is there anything that can be done to resolve this apart from upgrading my pc etc.
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
I have the same, or very similar GUI display issues with PrE 11 on an older laptop, running XP-Pro SP3 and an nVidia GeForce 8800M GTX w/ 512MB VRAM. Unfortunately, for that chip and on XP-Pro, the latest video driver is from back in 2011 (IIRC), and no new one in sight.
I feel that the only solution will be to update the OS to Win7 (allowing a newer video driver from nVidia), or replacement of the laptop (which I am doing).
PrE 4.0, PrPro CS 2, AE CS 2, and other, older Adobe programs, all work perfectly, but PrE 11 has display issues. To me, this means that the newer version's GUI interfaces more closely with the video driver, than the other programs.
Even for a company, like nVidia, the XP OS route is now a deadend.
Sorry for the bad news, but know that you are not alone.
Good luck,
Hunt
