Screen resolution switches while using Powerpoint & hyperlinks

Hi.
I'm using Office 2011 on a Macbook Air. I use PPT to teach and my classrooms have integrated projectors (VGA connection). My PPT runs and displays well. However, I often put hyperlinks in my slides so I can quickly access webpages. When I click on a link from PPT, the PPT slide fades (as it should) and the browser opens, but the screen resolution falls to 800x600 and the web pages are displayed much too big. Any reason why clicking on an hyperlink in PPT switched my screen resolution? And any trick to avoid this?

DvlFig,
Are you referring to the screen sizing of the actual Remote Desktop Window?  If so,
this page offers this solution to saving your screen settings for future Remote Desktop sessions.
How do I change Remote Desktop Connection settings?
You can change different settings for your remote connection, including the size of the remote PC's desktop, the audio, and the connection speed.
Open Remote Desktop Connection by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping
Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking
Search), entering mstsc in the search box, and then tapping or clicking
mstsc.
Enter the name of the PC you want to connect to.
Before connecting, tap or click Show Options, and then make the changes you want on the
Display, Local Resources, Programs,
Experience, and Advanced tabs.
If you want to save these settings for future connections, tap or click the
General tab, and then tap or click Save.
Tap or click Connect.
Hope this helps!

  • Problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool

    Hello. I got a problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool. Sometimes it takes more than a secong to zoom in or out. However InDesign CS6, Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC works just fine. What could be the problem, videocard or something else? Below is my PC configuration: OS Windows 8 Pro (x64); processor Intel Core i7 2600k CPU 3,40GHz; video adapter NVIDIA GeForse GTS 450; monitor NEC PA271W (2560x1440).

    Yes it’s a bug. The trick is to select the tool and then left click the photo information strip and hold for a few seconds until you see the windows bar at the top of the screen (not responding)
    The lasso tool should then work normally.

  • My screen reduces brightness while using apple tv, any suggestions?

    My screen reduces brightness while using my apple tv - any suggestions?

    Does it just look darker all the time or does the brightness change over time?
    If it just looks darker, check Settings>Video and if set to RGB Low try RGB High or YCrCb.
    I was watching a digital copy of final Harry Potter last night that came bundled with the Blu Ray - could not believe how dark the film was - I used to routinely use RGB Low on AppleTV1, and such settings options have only just appeared on AppleTV2.  I could see hardly any shadow detail on RGB Low, much improved on RGB High.

  • Continue to use applications while using PowerPoint

    I couldn't find the right place to post this question.
    I've done some research and pretty much the result I've found is "You can't do that!"  I've tried using PowerPoint and OpenOffice to accomplish this, but both have similar results.  I need to be able to run a PowerPoint Presentation that displays on a 2nd monitor (TVs) and still be able to run other applications (iTunes & Excel) while the presentation is up.  Unfortunately, PowerPoint takes over my main display (macbook usually) and I cannot access those other programs. 
    This works fine when using PowerPoint on Windows using several different ways.  If Powerpoint for Mac only had the option to NOT use Presenter view.  I only want to display the PowerPoint on one monitor and still be able to use other programs. 
    Thanks,
    Q

    This makes no difference.  The presentation remains to work, but on my main screen, I cannot access any other programs.  Moving the mouse down only shows the powerpoint timeline.  I've attached what the screens look like.

  • Screen Resolution Troubles After Using HDMI and Converter

    After using a StarTech HDMI converter to watch Netflix on my television, the resolution on my macbook pro is messed up. If I close Netflix the resolution returns, but after trying to use other programs like iPhoto and iMovie I ran into the same problem. As soon as I open those apps the resolution gets distorted and the screen is blurry. Like with Netflix, as soon as I close those apps the screen resolution returns to normal. Also every time I connect the converter and HDMI cord from my Macbook Pro to my television the resolution goes blurry, but the resolution is perfect on the television.

  • Increase screen resolution in VBOX using Guest additions

    Dear all,
    I have installed SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 as my VM in VBOX. NOw i want to increase my screen resolution from 800*600 to 1024*768.My base machine is MAC.Please help me. I have installed all packages.
    Regards
    Bobby

    Screen resolution are two things: Monitor and Video driver. You will probably have to change your installed virtual monitor to a monitor that supports your desired resolution, in addition to changing the resolution of the video driver. Also in VM make sure you assign enough video memory. Normally 8 MB should be more than enough for true color SVGA.

  • Screen turns black while using safari

    While in safari, the screen turns black & returns you back to home. Appears to only happen on larger sites with lots of data.  Getting worst now. Almost happens everytime we're in safari(WIFI). All other apps work fine. I have an Ipad (1). Cleared history & did latest update. Still a BIG problem. Any other advise. Please advise.

    If you have cleared the history, cookies and data, you have pretty much done all that you can. Other users are reporting this same "crashing" behavior with Safari.
    The only other thing that I can think of that MAY be of some help is to quit apps that are running the background. Few apps really do run in the background, but it doesn't hurt to try this and see if it does any good.
    To close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Some have suggested that if you are using iCloud - try turning off Bookmark syncing and that has helped somewhat.
    Apple has announced an update to the iOS that is supposed to be released soon, hopefully they will address this issue in the update.

  • Macbook air 13" screen goes black while using iTunes

    I have an early 2014 13" Macbook Air with a 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, and I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. When I'm using iTunes, specifically when I'm watching a movie or TV show, the screen will randomly go black, but not like it turned off. The audio still works, but I can't see the cursor or anything. The only way I've been able to fix it is to completely turn it off (control+command+power) and turn it back on. It happens pretty often though, and as you can imagine, gets quite annoying. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.

  • TV screen sometimes hangs while using apple tv

    When I project the computer screen on the TV screen using the apple tv, the picture is not moving smoothly and sometimes hangs the TV screen.

    Does it just look darker all the time or does the brightness change over time?
    If it just looks darker, check Settings>Video and if set to RGB Low try RGB High or YCrCb.
    I was watching a digital copy of final Harry Potter last night that came bundled with the Blu Ray - could not believe how dark the film was - I used to routinely use RGB Low on AppleTV1, and such settings options have only just appeared on AppleTV2.  I could see hardly any shadow detail on RGB Low, much improved on RGB High.

  • Screen goes blank while using phone

    If this happens with your 3G, I bet it's because it's in a case you purchased for the old model. Take it out of the case and see if it works.

    Do you use a case or sleeve on your iPhone? If the case blocks the proximity sensor(s), the phone may still think you are holding it next to your face and black out the display so you don't disconnect or do something else unintended "by cheek."
    I had this problem too and fixed it by modifying the el cheapo holster case with a razor blade - works fine now. Depending on which iPhone model you have, there will be one or two proximity sensors to the left or right of the earpiece speaker at the top of the phone. Make sure this area is clear, and you should be fine. This also fixes any problems people are having with random screen bright/dark changes since the light sensor is located in the same area.

  • Screen went black while using voiceover

    I rebooted, but the screen fades out right away when it starts up so I can't enter my passcode or get into the settings to turn off voiceover! Help!

    Hi GSC818,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It seems like you want to turn off VoiceOver on your iPhone, but can't because the screen goes black.
    If you can't access your iPhone, try disabling voice over using this method on a computer with iTunes:
    Managing Accessibility features using iTunes
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to any computer with iTunes installed.
    In iTunes, select your device.
    From the Summary pane, click > Configure Universal Access in the Options section at the bottom.
    Select the feature you would like to use and click OK.
    From:
    Use Accessibility features in iOS - Apple Support
    If your screen doesn't return to normal after turning off VoiceOver, see this article for some additional troubleshooting tips:
