Start before splash screen problems

Pavillion DV6338SE
When notebook is turned on it can take 5 minutes to an hour to get to the HP splash screen and boot. The blue leds blink then it seems to try again and again and again. If it gets to the HP Splash screen it always bootsThis happens even if a bootable CD is in the CD drive. Once it boots it "seems" to work OK. I have checked the HD in the "setup" and it tests OK. I have updated the bios.
I don't "think" it is the HD, maybe the controller?
Suggestions.
Hope is not another AMD motherboard that has plagued HP.over the last several years.
Thanks

Main program start before splash screen, help

hi:
below is the splash screen code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.util.Random;
class Splash extends JWindow {
     public Splash(String filename, Frame f, int waitTime) {
          super(f);
          JLabel l = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(filename));
          getContentPane().add(l, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          pack();
          Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
          Dimension labelSize = l.getPreferredSize();
          setLocation(screenSize.width / 2 - (labelSize.width / 2), screenSize.height / 2 - (labelSize.height / 2));
          addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
               public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
                    setVisible(false);
                    dispose();
          final int pause = waitTime;
          final Runnable closerRunner = new Runnable() {
               public void run() {
                    setVisible(false);
                    dispose();
          Runnable waitRunner = new Runnable() {
               public void run() {
                    try {
                         Thread.sleep(pause);
                         SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(closerRunner);
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                         e.printStackTrace();
                         // can catch InvocationTargetException
                         // can catch InterruptedException
          setVisible(true);
          Thread splashThread = new Thread(waitRunner, "SplashThread");
          splashThread.start();
below is the constructor that started the splash and the main:
public static void main(String args[])
PictureViewer PV = new PictureViewer();
standaloneApp = true;
splash Splash sw = new Splash("prestigestetho.gif",null, 5000);
the splash appear just fine, the problem is that it appears after
my main program appear first.
I try to shift the priority of splash, which is sw first and then PV,
in that case the splash screen appear first then PV, but this time PV
stay in front of sw makes it totally not viewable.
is there any method to make splash screen appear first and on the screen you can see the process of main program starting up (for example
: loading this ...., loading that.....) something like acrobat reader's
startup screen, and then splash screen disappear and then main program
pop up.

okay, I got it, it's under SwingSet2.java the related code is as follow:
// Used only if swingset is an application
private JFrame frame = null;
private JWindow splashScreen = null;
// The tab pane that holds the demo
private JTabbedPane tabbedPane = null;
private JEditorPane demoSrcPane = null;
private JLabel splashLabel = null;
* SwingSet2 Constructor
public SwingSet2(SwingSet2Applet applet, GraphicsConfiguration gc) {
// Note that the applet may null if this is started as an application
     this.applet = applet;
// Create Frame here for app-mode so the splash screen can get the
// GraphicsConfiguration from it in createSplashScreen()
if (!isApplet()) {
frame = createFrame(gc);
// setLayout(new BorderLayout());
     setLayout(new BorderLayout());
// set the preferred size of the demo
     setPreferredSize(new Dimension(PREFERRED_WIDTH,PREFERRED_HEIGHT));
// Create and throw the splash screen up. Since this will
// physically throw bits on the screen, we need to do this
// on the GUI thread using invokeLater.
createSplashScreen();
// do the following on the gui thread
     SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
     public void run() {
          showSplashScreen();
initializeDemo();
     preloadFirstDemo();
     // Show the demo and take down the splash screen. Note that
     // we again must do this on the GUI thread using invokeLater.
     SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
     public void run() {
          showSwingSet2();
          hideSplash();
     // Start loading the rest of the demo in the background
     DemoLoadThread demoLoader = new DemoLoadThread(this);
     demoLoader.start();
* Show the spash screen while the rest of the demo loads
public void createSplashScreen() {
     splashLabel = new JLabel(createImageIcon("Splash.jpg", "Splash.accessible_description"));
     if(!isApplet()) {
     splashScreen = new JWindow(getFrame());
     splashScreen.getContentPane().add(splashLabel);
     splashScreen.pack();
     Rectangle screenRect = getFrame().getGraphicsConfiguration().getBounds();
     splashScreen.setLocation(
screenRect.x + screenRect.width/2 - splashScreen.getSize().width/2,
          screenRect.y + screenRect.height/2 - splashScreen.getSize().height/2);
public void showSplashScreen() {
     if(!isApplet()) {
     splashScreen.show();
     } else {
     add(splashLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
     validate();
     repaint();
* pop down the spash screen
public void hideSplash() {
     if(!isApplet()) {
     splashScreen.setVisible(false);
     splashScreen = null;
     splashLabel = null;

I created an application and in that application if date is changed the application starts from splash screen on re-entering and if date is not changed and u re-enters the application then it open in page where u leaved.Not working in USA timezone.

I created an application and in that application if date is changed the application starts from splash screen on re-entering and if date is not changed and u re-enters the application then it open in page where u leaved.It works fine in our side (Timezone,kolkata ,india even for Timezone,slvaniya,USA) but our USA client is telling that on changing the date it not starts from start-up sequence.Can anyone plz suggest the reason for it.

This is the code which we have used.
//////////Return if it is first time for the day or not//////////////

Please Suggest..

REPOST: White Rectangle Before Splash Screen

I reposted this topic because the last one got too long and full of code without any progress towards a solution. I'm trying to show a splash screen without the white rectangle flashing first. I tried placing the setVisible(true) statement at the end of my splash screen code, no luck. There has got to be some way to stop the white screen from appearing until the image has loaded!! By the way, my image is only 5 KB! If that's too big, something is definitely wrong.
I believe the problem lies in the following code...
public void start()
Thread thread = new Thread()
public void run()
Runnable run = new Runnable()
public void run()
try
Thread.sleep(3000);
catch(Exception e)
dispose();
setVisible(true);
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(run);
thread.start();

Hey mtnkid420,
If you had to painfully concede to the white screen that flashes up, I empathise with you. I have the solution for you now, albeit 3 years late - posting also for those who are currently mythed by the pre-splash white screen.
It was the suggestion, although rebutted, that loading larger images causes the problem. If the diagnosis was correct, the usual solution would be to load and draw the image off-screen i.e. to a BufferedImage... and you know what, it worked.
Here is a code snippet if required:
     private Splash(int displayTime, Class application)
     throws IllegalArgumentException, SecurityException, IllegalAccessException,
     NoSuchFieldException, IOException, InterruptedException
          this.displayTime = displayTime;
          splashPath = String.valueOf(application.getField("SPLASH_PATH").get(null));
          URL splashURL = application.getClassLoader().getResource(splashPath);
          Image img = ImageIO.read(splashURL);
          MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker(this);
          tracker.addImage(img, 1);
          tracker.waitForID(1);
          splashImage = new BufferedImage(500, 300, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
          Graphics g = splashImage.getGraphics();
          g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, 500, 300, this);
          setSize(500, 300);
          setLocationRelativeTo(null);
          splash();
     } // end primary constructor
     public void paint(Graphics g)
          g.drawImage(splashImage, 0, 0, this);
     } // end paintThis code will not compile as is, but it serves the purpose to illustrate BufferedImage usage.

Illustrator crashes before splash screen with networked home dir

I’m having a problem with deploying Adobe CS6 in my school’s labs. Actually, this problem only affects Illustrator CS6 as all the other applications of the suite are functioning normally.
Here are some data about our network Environment
120+ imacs of various models (from late 2007 to early 2013)
Each mac is bound to 2 directory services (Windows AD and a Mac mini server)
Authentication is taken care of by the Windows AD server.
Preferences management and Mac-specific settings are controlled by the Mac server
Each user (teacher and student) has a remote home directory located on a huge (21 TB) synology NAS
The address of this home directory is maintained by the windows AD and retrieved at logon
Users can authenticate with no issues and their home directory is correctly mounted on the Imacs. The applications of the Creative suite (deployed through AAMEE) are all working fine except for Adobe Illustrator CS6.
Here is the problem
If a remote user (that is a user with a distant home directory, so pretty much everyone in the school) launches Illustrator, The application hangs and crashed even before this beautiful brownish splash screen appears on the screen. I can see illustrator in red in the activity monitor an have to kill it manually
If a local user logs in (that is the local admin or the guest user) Illustrator works fine! (Which tells me that it is not an install or dependency issue)
In short, It looks like Illustrator does not like users whose home directory is not stored on the local machine.
Has anyone run into a similar issue? Is this documented somewhere? Are there some preferences I need to customise to make Illustrator work with remote users? Will it be naturally solved when I’ll deploy Illustrator CC in a month or so?
In case any Adobe employee read this message, I attache the Crash report as generated by my iMac.
Any insight on this issue is very much appreciated. I’m stuck with this one...... heeeeeeelp!!
Thanks and regards from cloudy Belgium!

I confirm what Serge said.
We worked on this issue with the Illustrator team and Illustrator just does not work when the home directory of the current user is not on the local drive.
That being said, it IS possible to make Illustrator work in a Network environment. There are 2 ways to do that.
1) when binding the MAc to an Active Directory domain, tick the "Force home directory on local drive" checkbox. That will create the home directory of the user on the local drive and Illustrator will work fine. The down side of this method is that if the user switches to another Mac (whith is the case in our school lab) his home directory will be re-created from scratch on the new Mac and all his custom preferences and setting will be lost.
2) Use the WorkGroup Manager to create a roaming profile. With this method, The home directory of the user is copied over from the network location on the local drive at logon. As far as Illustrator is concerned, The home folder is then local and everything works as expected. You can have the local home folder be synchronized with the remote home folder at logout (or even at regular intervals during the session) so that the custom preferences and settings of the user does follow him from Mac to Mac
The only case where Illustrator does not work is when the home directory is mounted as a remote folder. That configuration prevents Illustrator from openning.

Photoshop CS6 freezes before splash screen (Mavericks)

13-inch MacBook Pro 2012 (June), 2.9GHz i7, 8GB of Apple RAM (no third-party RAM), 750GB drive, non-Retina display, OS X 10.9.1. In use for over a year under 10.8.x.
Creative Suite CS6 Production Premium (Academic License) installed. Upgraded from 10.8.5 where Photoshop CS6 ran successfully until upgrading to 10.9. Upgrading to 10.9.1 didn't help. Reverting to 10.8.5 fixes things. Adobe Drive has never been installed. Lightroom 4 is installed. Trial of InDesign CC is installed, and it was installed under 10.8.5, too.
Only Photoshop CS6 is affected; other CS6 apps in the suite work fine under 10.9.x. After upgrading to 10.9, Photoshop CS6 will work for maybe a day, then it will launch with a menu bar and menu choices, but none of them work. The Photoshop CS6 splash screen never appears.
It appears to be OS X user-account related. If a new OS X user is created, Photoshop CS6 works.
CS6 suite has been removed and reinstalled; no positive effect. Adobe's CS6 uninstaller has been downloaded and CS6 suite reinstalled; no positive effect. Photoshop .plist file has been deleted; no positive effect.
Any help appreciated! Thanks!

Because Photoshop will launch successfully with a different OS X user account, can someone suggest which specific Console log(s) in both accounts to investigate (or search for the existence of) that may help diagnose why Photoshop won't launch?
Additional behavior:
In the problematic account, Photoshop starts to launch, and its menus appear. Many menus are black, but when you select a menu choice (such as Photoshop > About Photoshop or File > Open), then all Photoshop menus and choices gray out. Then you have to force quit Photoshop.
However, if you first (while menu choices are still black) choose File > Open in Bridge CS6 (or words to that effect), then Bridge will open.
Thanks.

DVDSP4 start-up splash screen refuses to go; New command does nuttin'

I have just installed DVD Studio Pro 4 as part of the FCP Suite upgrade.
When I launch it, the splash screen stays right there. Clicking doesn't make it go away.
When I choose New from the menu, the File menu stays highlighted for a few moments and then nothing happens. However, if I choose Open, I can open a file and continue working with it. I just cannot create a New empty file.
What's going on? How can I fix this?
Gopinath

I have a simular problem.
Just upgraded to FCP Suite.
DVD Studio Pro 4.0.2 does not open all windows. just 2 windows are useable. if you click away of the application and click on it again, you can see all windows as normal but you can click nothing. nothing is activ -- the toolbar is completely disappeared. .....
I trashed everything I could.
I reinstalled everything.
I am desperate !!
Thanks!

Splash Screen Problem

I'm trying to get a splash screen working in Oracle Forms 9i on Windows 2k (and XP).
The file is in jpg format, and I am positive its not corrupted.
My formsweb.cfg has splashscreen=splash.jpg in the right place, and I placed splash.jpg in forms90/ and forms90/server/ (I also set imagebase to c:\oracle\9ias\forms90\. But the screen still doesn't appear. If I delete the splashscreen line, I get the standard Oracle splash.
Any ideas?

Try SplashScreen=/myimages/myimage.jpg where myimages is a virtual directory created in your webser and myimage.jpg is the name of your image.

Does the Start-up Blue Screen problem is solved ???

Hello.
I get blue screen on start-up only when I have the secondary screen connected.
If I start my machine with only monitor, I don't get blue screen.
I have done all those procedures, including a fresh install, target disk mode, also the
rm /
rf /System/Lybrary/SystemConfiguration/ApplicationEnhancer.bundle......even if I had no Application Enhancer EVER installed...
no success.
I'm back wih a hope that someone found a fix.
Thanks.

Hey Andrew
I don't have a solution for you, but are you/were you still getting a blue screen ONLY when you have/had a 2nd monitor connected?

Downloaded apps not starting after splash screens

I've had this device for about a month.
I recently paid the $10 to upgrade the software to version 3.0.
There are 1.9 free GB on the device.
I sync it via a Windows Vista machine.
I have not downloaded any apps through iTunes on the Vista machine. I have downloaded five apps directly onto the device through the App Store. Two of the five were free (New York Times Reader, Skype) and the others I paid for.
Everything has been working fine until this morning when I tried to open the NYTimes reader. It showed the opening screen, then dropped back to the home screen. The same is happening will all five downloaded apps.
I tried syncing in iTunes, but none of my downloaded apps is listed in iTunes on my computer. Are they supposed to be there?
I've seen a few other questions of this nature, but no solution that makes any sense to me.
I'm pretty surprised to have this happening on a Mac product. I have restarted the device twice, with no change. I have also hooked the device up to my computer and tried to sync it, but I don't see any change. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to try to sync, since I just want these apps to work, but they don't show up on the iTunes app list on my computer.

have you tried the other troubleshooting steps?

Z77A-GD65 Multiple BIOS Issues - B4 Hang, Splash Screen Blinking

Back in November 2012, I built a home server with a Z77A-GD65. Lately, I've noticed some strange things happening that I've been trying to research but to no avail.
First off, I get the B4 code hang-up whenever I'm booting. This doesn't matter if it's a cold boot or a reboot, it hangs on B4 for about 10-15 seconds, flashes 92 really quick, and then goes to A2 which it stays for another 5 or so seconds. After that I get the MSI splash screen for about 1 second, then it blinks 5 times. After that it goes into Windows just fine.
The blinking is a new issue, the B4 hang is not. I've read from multiple posts that this is a USB issue. When I disable USB legacy support, the issue goes away, but of course then I can't have legacy support. I have yet to figure out what exact device is causing it. In the process of trying to figure this out, I updated BIOS to A.A0. After updating to this version of BIOS the splash screen blinks 5 times before going to the "Starting Windows" splash screen. This is a more difficult issue to figure out why it's doing this because if you search for "BIOS" and "flash" or "flashes" or "flashing", you typically get results for flashing your BIOS. Hence, why I'm using the term "blinking". But even then I can't really find a solution out there.
I also happened to see that the website for the Z77A-GD65 is showing a newer BIOS version, but I'm unable to flash this (at least using M-Flash). I threw it on a USB, re-enabled USB legacy and whenever I click on it to install, the BIOS screen hard locks. The screen just freezes exactly where it's at in the BIOS and the mouse is dead. However, I can CTRL+ALT+DEL on the keyboard and it will reboot the system so I don't need to power cycle the computer. Not sure why this is happening either. Perhaps I need to flash this a different way? Maybe I don't need to flash this at all?
I could really use some input here on why this is happening.
As for the specs on my system, they're as follows:
i7-3770K overclocked to 4.2 Ghz by using the Turbo Mode in BIOS
32GB Komputerbay DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz DIMM with Low Profile Blue Heatspreaders Quad Channel RAM | 9-9-9-24 XMP ready
AMD PowerColor 7870 Myst Edition GPU - currently not overclocked although overclocking this doesn't seem to affect any issues
2 - 128 GB Corsair SATA III SSD - one runs the OS, the other I use to load games from
2 - 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM Sata II HDD's mirrored via Windows 7
1 - 750 GB Seagate Barracude 7200 RPM Sata II HDD
1 - 1 TB Western Digital MyBook USB 2.0 external
2 - 3 TB Seagate USB 3.0 external
ASUS DVD Burner - not sure which one, it's a cheapy $20 from Newegg
1 - PCI USB 3.0 expansion card
Antec TruePower New TP-550 Modular 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
NZXT Switch 810 gunmetal - currently have 4 fans running but plan on more, also the Switch 810 has the multi-card reader in the front with 1x SD Card, 2x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0
for peripherals
1 - Microsoft 360 Wireless controller adapter (legit one, not the knockoff although I had a knockoff prior to getting the real deal)
1 - Logitech Wireless USB Keyboard with Touchpad
I tried to be thorough. Thanks in advance for any help!

Probably a USB device problem.
This is a candidate, as well as mouse and keyboard. Disconnect USB devices one at a time to find the culprit.
A lot of devices running. PSU a +12V single rail or is it multi rail? A rail going to the graphics or components may not be enough amps. My best guess is the card reader.
For UEFI/BIOS flashing, select your mainboard here and use the forum flash method;
I'll definitely try unplugging some of these USB devices to see if that helps with the B4 hang issue.
As for the PSU, according to the description for it on Newegg: "Four industry-leading independent +12v rails are provided for more stable and safer power output." It has two rails going to the GPU. The GPU is a new addition to the system and so I wasn't running it until recently. The issues were occurring beforehand, but you're right that this PSU is underpowered for the rig considering PowerColor recommends a minimum of 500w. I'm going to be buying a larger capacity one sometime in the very near future. Any recommendations on good modular PSU's? What's a good way to tell what wattage to get?
Thanks for letting me know about the forum flash method. I'll be back later when I have some results.
