Starcraft lags in full screen mode but not minimzed mode, hardware issue?

hi
recently ive noticed that starcraft ( fully updated ) in fullscreen mode lags incredibly, pratically beyond being playable, im not sure what this is due to, but in minimized mode it plays just fine, the game is really old and i dont really see any software reason for this.
here are some relevant notes
my computer was affected by the nvidia issue and the part was replaced less than a year ago, so i dont think its the video card, or could it be?
my computer has been heating up a bit for like 3 months, i recently downloaded the smc fan control to control that and its been fine since then
i ran the hardware test that came with the comp and everything seems to be fine
i ran techtools pro too and everything it checked seemed to be fine
dont know what else to say, this kinda confused me, if anyone knows anything, i would be greatful

I cant say I've tried starcraft on it but I have played WoW on mine, extensively. And it does the same for me, suggesting its a matter of software design... since they are both from Blizzard.
Its quite a notable difference too...

Why can firefox beta, aurora, and nightly open in windows 8.1 desktop mode but not app mode?

The applications will launch in desktop mode but not in a windows 8.1 app I am hoping for help with this I have tried everything to fix crashing or slowness and have reinstalled the program in aurora nightly or even firefox beta forms. Help!

Hi!
You may want to take a look at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-install-firefox-windows-8-touch
I would assume the options to switch into it would be the same. I can't confirm though since I don't run Windows 8.

Why does ESC work to exit some full screen apps but not all?

Example, while in full screen if I am in the web browser(I use firefox) clicking esc doesn't exit full screen, but when I am in photo booth esc works just fine. I noticed it with a few apps, sometimes it works and other times you have to go and click the exit option in the top right corner. I'm new to mac, this is my first mac and I only got it a few days ago so I'm quite uneducated with the software.

I found another thread that helped. I switched to 3-finger swipe then back to 4-finger, however everything froze and I lost my curser. I actually had to force quit the Finder twice before it took effect. Now it works. That thread was: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191453?start=0&tstart=0

Remote Enabled function module of SAP working - debug mode but not run mode

Hi,
When a remote function module is called from Java a message should get thrown from the function module which the FM is throwing but Java is not able to fetch the error. This problem is coming in execution mode but if we are in debugging mode and go to the function module remotely the error is getting triggered.
Please suggest the solution to the problem.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hello
try something like this
try {
JCO.Client.execute(myFunction)
} catch (JCO.AbapException ex) {
System.out.println ("ABAP Exception: " + ex.getKey() + " " + ex.getMessage());
the problem is, that JCo ABAP Exceptions are subclasses of java.lang.RuntimeException so the Java Compiler doesn't force you to catch them

I've just installed Lion, with the new functions like full-screen apps. I have a macbook unibody, there is about a year. My problem is that the Lion update had no effect on iPhoto. So stuff like the full-screen function is not an option in iPhoto. Why?

But I had no effect on iPhoto. How come? Alle the other apps like iTunes have the full-screen option - but not iPhoto.

You'll need to upgrade to iPhoto 11.

G4 iBook works in Safe Mode, but not in regular mode (stuck on blue screen)

14" iBook G4 1.2GHz with 1 gig of RAM.
I recently had an issue with this machine in that the image on the screen would freeze but the cursor would be able to move around. This was narrowed down to an issue with the logic board. I wanted something a little more permanent than a shim, so I sent the board in to have it reballed.
After installing the maching back into my iBook, it seemed to work fine until I applied a software update to the machine.
It was then that I got to experience the first of many kernel panics.
Restarting at different times always brought me to the dialog box which states that the machine needed to be restarted in multiple languages.
Running the Apple Hardware Test off my install disks yielded this error code: 2ATI/2/4:113-xxxxx-125
I have no idea what that means. I do know that just before I got the results of the test, the screen changed to all kinds of colors. It was only for a few seconds and then the results (with the error code) were displayed.
Still, not sure what to do next, I tried resetting the PRAM. I also tried resetting the NVRAM.
I also tried booting up into Safe Mode which actually worked. There were no issues with the machine and everything seemed to be working fine.
When I tried to restart the machine in regular mode, I'm taken to the infamous blue screen and the machine just stays there. When I let the machine stay off overnight, it booted up normal, but after applying the software update, the machine was in kernel panic again.
I've tried running fsck, but nothing changes.
I'm still not sure why it seems to work in Safe Mode but not in regular mode.
I'd appreciate any suggestions or ideas.

Hi,
A couple of the things that are disabled in safe mode are AirPort and non Apple startup items. The easiest thing for you to test is the AirPort card. Shut down and remove the AE card under the keyboard. See if it starts. If it does your AE card is bad. If not, start in safe mode and go to System Preferences>Accounts>youraccount and disable all non Apple startup (LOgin) items by clicking on them and then the minus sign. Restart normally and see if it will start.

My trackpad will swipe left between full-screen apps, but it will not swipe right

My Trackpad on my imac will swipe left between full-screen apps, but it will not swipe right. How do I fix this?
-m

Hi there!
I am searching this forum to find somebody that has noticed this weird behaviour. The closest I came so far is your post.
So let me explain a little easier... The problem I think you mean is:
When switching bewtween applications using CMD+TAB it does switch to the space an app is open BUT the app switched to is behind all the other windows on that space. Is that correct?
This problem is also bugging me alot because I am used to to switch fastly between apps and this just renders the whole process useless. The best workaround I found so far is to stop using spaces (or Mission Control) and keep all the apps in one space to prevent this from happening.
I really hope Apple aknowledges this bug very soon because this LION deal is a complete mess. Tons of bugs. No fixes.

PSE 10 will print from the organizer and in sharing mode, but not from full edit

I'm using pse10 on a computer with an i7 processor with 12GB of ram and windows 7 with a color laser printer. The print function works fine while in organizer and sharing mode, but not from full edit. When I try to print from full edit, I get an error message with a red "X" on it that says: "Before you can perform printer related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." I can't figure it out. The printer is in "ready" state, and works fine in the organizer mode, and in share. Any thoughts on what I'm missing? Thanks for any help in advance.

This occurs frequently with HP printers, though others are implicted as well from time to time
In Control panel>Devices and printers, right click your active printer, go to Printer Properties, and rename the printer to something short, e.g. my printer

Full list of MS SQL 2000 features that are supported in compatibilty 80 mode but not available in 2008 R2 compatibility 100

Hello Everyone,
Could you possibly suggest where I can find a full list MS SQL 2000 features that are supported in 2008 R2 compatibilty 80 mode but not available in compatibility 100?
Thanks
SSIS question

Hi Tom,
What you are saying makes sense, if the compatibility level is 90 then the old ANSI joins are expected to be rectified.
I wrote a script to check - it's an easy exercise, all you need is to loop through the catalog views and for each SP or scalar function run this command:
set fmtonly on exec <object> set fmtonly on and in the catch block handle the error related to compatibility.
For checkign the views similar thing set noexec on <select top 1 * from view> set noexec off.
This works very fast as none of the code is actually executed.
Caveat thought triggers and table functions. I could not find the way how to check them. so will have to extract the DDLs and just check the text for old ansi joins. Not very reliable, but that's all I can think of at the moment.
Any chance you know how to compile a trigger or table function without running.
For table functions when I tried set noexec on they still asked for parameters, something I was trying to avoid.
Thanks

Want an option to having a REAL full-screen view when in writing mode in Word (as there was in 2003)

For the present Word version (365) I have not found a way to be able to use the entire/total/really full screen estate when using writing mode in Word. (Perhaps there is a way, not discovered by me yet?) But what I want both in Word 365 and foremost in the
next iteration of Word, is the option to choose - when in writing/editing mode - the entire screen real estate, with NO columns on each side of the screen and with NO Ribbon or other stuff on top and nothing at the bottom of the screen either.
This must be possible to establish as an option?!
The Word 2003 had such a feature, but it (completely?) disappeared as an option from 2007 and later, as far as I can see, and this lack of being able to choose using a totally blank screen, from bezel to bezel, with no other things than what you write on
it, is for me and many other writers, who often also use a machine with a rather small screen, a significant missing feature!
As I see it, the real estate that is "given away" to give space to the two vertical columns (to give a for me the unnessary and unwanted "impression/illusion" of having to deal with a sheet of paper placed on the middle of the screen),
this real estate should instead be used as a typing "place". In other words: Many writers and others would really like to be able to use ALL the screen from left to right and from top to bottom to be filled with letters and words!
Can and will this technically be done? So that we again (as in 2003) can be given the option to choose (real) full-screen view?
I would really like to get some positive feedback from developers and decision makers in the Word developer team at Microsoft about the possibility of re-establishing this now seemingly missing option.

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback.
As far as I know, this is currently not available in Office 2013. We are sorry that at this time we are not able to edit documents in a full screen mode that "with NO columns on each side of the screen and with NO Ribbon or other stuff on top and
nothing at the bottom of the screen either. "
We have passed this information to the product group for consideration for a future product or update.
Please be assured that our developers strive to capture Microsoft users' ideas and are working hard to create a more powerful and easy-to-use product.
Thanks for your understanding.

Video iChat for Full Screen presentation in dual-display mode

I plan on giving a presentation and want to use video iChat with a special effects background projected using dual display mode. I find that if I use video preview in iChat, that I can't enter full screen mode (this would look best when projected). It seems you can only enter full screen if connected to a buddy in iChat, which I don't want for the presentation.
Any thoughts on how to accomplish this, or maximize the appearance?
Thanks.

Hi,
You want the Flipped pic that iChat gives you but using the Preview only as you do not require an actual chat to make a Presentation.
Ideally you would like that to be Full Screen but the Preview only does not do full screen.
Adding a second Screen in the form a Projector and mirroring is possible.
This of course would allow you present a "Live Feed" as it were.
Do you gave Quicktime Pro ?
This allows you to set a window to Full Screen even if not actually recording, but shows what the camera sees. (albeit not Flipped like iChat although iGasses can fix that.
I would also look at some of the options on this page

Full Screen slide show not functional since upgrading Graphics card??

Just upgraded to a geforce fx 5200 graphics card...now the individual full screen pic or the full screen slideshow will not function. Get Fatal Error C0000005 at Address: 6e310c01. Dumps me out of Photoshop album starter edition 3.0. I have about 1000 images in multiple groups, files, email shares, etc and need to be able to get back to functionality. This has occurred since installing the graphics card mentioned. Is the newer 3.2 version an "upgrade" to 3.0. If I download it will it overwrite the existing version and still have all of my photos in place? It's an option I am considering to try to get back to properly functioning. ANY I repeat ANY help would be appreciated...THANKS....

I have a Geforce FX5500 card & updated the driver for it, why I have no idea! Anyway the slideshow came up with some sort of major error & as I already knew using bang up to date graphics card driver stops certain old games working I rolled back the driver from the 23/4/08 (approx) version to driver version 6.14.10.9371 dated 22/10/06. Different card I know but an older driver may sort it.

Project runs Ok in debug mode but not in release mode

I have an application developed with VC++ 6.0 and measurement studio. The application controls SCXI-1161/1166 relay boards to connect the UUT. The application runs ok in debug mode, but in release mode the application can't drive the relay boards. I have tried to change optimizations mode, it didn't work. Who can tell me how to solve the problem? Thanks!

It sounds like you have an older version of our SWITCH driver which relies on our DAQ driver. I would recommend uninstalling the Traditional DAQ, DAQmx, and SWITCH drivers and then installing the newest version. At this point you have 2 options:
1) You can download Traditional DAQ 7.4, DAQmx 7.4, and NI-SWITCH 2.4 drivers bundled together here: ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/daq/pc/ni-daq/7.4/
2) You can install the latest version: NI-DAQmx 7.5 here: http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/CF7ECCEA4C4CC7DE86257038004D88AE?opendocument&node=13206... This has support for all of our USB DAQ devices (if you're not using them then you may not want to worry about installing this now) and then install Traditional DAQ 7.4 here: http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/C36A54ADDA3DC33D86257038004E55E6?opendocument&node=13206... and NI-SWITCH 2.4 here: http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/9D6B8C7FD41BF3D08625702E0072E294?opendocument&node=13206...
