Strange BSOD causes background change/

So my Lenovo W520 Blue-screened on me, while I was shutting down. Everything about it seems alright, except the background for Windows logon, which usually is black, and has the "Think" logo for Thinkpads, has been changed back to the Windows 7 default blue background. Any way to change this back?

hey TheLazyDog,
without knowing what or how that BSOD occur, it's kinda hard to suggest on how to get back the "Think" splash screen.
only thing i can suggest right now is to do a system restore. Though if your unit is working fine and without any problems; just leave it as it is.

Satellite A500-13F - strange noise when background changes

I hear "zzzzzzzzz" when the background change and when i switch from open page to other one;
I tried to change the audio driver from realtek but it doesn't work and when i played, it be very strong and get high...
Please help me !!!

Hi
As far as I know the Realtek sound driver install additional Realtek HD audio Manager which contains a lot of different settings which could change the sound properties.
Usually you can find the Realtek HD audio manager in control panel.
Please check all the possible options
Otherwise it would be advisable to contact an ASP technician for hardware check
I mean if this issue still persists even after system recovery, then a hardware check should be done

My Mac's background changed to white and i can't change it back

Dear anybody,
Yesterday I plugged in my external harddisk, and I just moving some folders from one partition to another. then in the middle of progress, it opened an error window and the external hd disappeared from my desktop icon and finder. I tried to plugged out and plugged in again but it's not recognized until I restarted it. and the process of restarting takes about 5minutes (it's not usual since I just need about 30-60secs to reboot my mac). then I logged in and my background changed to white. I thought it was missing my bg pict, then I searched for the picture and set it again as desktop background but nothing happened. it's still white. but the strange is when I press f9 or f10 button (expose), I saw the picture on my background and a lot of windows exposed, then when I click one of the window, it disappeared again, changed to white.
so, please anybody who had ever gotten this kinda problem, help me out. Thanks for your attention!

Flash CS5: Stage background changes to white upon export no matter what color I set it to?

Hello,
As the title speaks for itself, I've been running into this problem since yesterday and couldn't figure out what is wrong with flash. Normally, I like to work with black background, so my stage background is always set to black, However, when I exported to view my project, the background changes to white. I've tried to check the preferences, setups and nothing I found suspicious is causing this.
I've tried to create a new AS 3.0 document, and still, it gives me a white background when I export to view regardless if I set the stage background to red or blue.
I've tried restarting my computer, and yet nothing is fixing it.
If anyone can help me figure out this problem, I'll gladly appreciate it! Thanks..

Thanks for the wonderful quick fix simPod_, I've deleted my mm.cfg file, but somehow this isn't permanent. It should do for now except the hassle of deleting the file and restarting flash. If anyone else have a permanent solution to this, I'll gladly appreciate any responses. Thanks!

Background Change Picture Feature Not Working

I have had my macbook pro for about 6 months now and my change background feature worked fine when I first got it. I could add folders of pictures and tell it change ever 5 seconds and it worked. Over time, I messed with my dock settings and background settings with other third party programs and stuff and decided I didn't like them so I would just go back to the features built into Leopard. I tried to do a random, change every 5 seconds background change folder deal the other day and it never would change. I tried doing it on the default folders like the apple images and the nature ones and stuff but it would never change. I can still add folders. I can click the option of random order and change every x times. When I close out my system preferences, it resets what I did. I go back to my background panel and they are unchecked. How can I fix this and is anyone else having this problem?

delete the file com.apple.desktop.plist from homedirectory/Library/Preferences and log out/in. You background settings should be set to defaults and you should be able to change them as you like.

Background changes for every button?

Hello, I am using encore 5.1 and I was wondering if it's possible to have the background change every time I go from one button to the next withtout actually changing menus?
I would like to do something like in the video I'm linking (watch only the first 10 seconds to get an idea of what I'm talking about). Granted, in the video, what's running is a program and not a dvd menu, but is something similar possible in encore?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKMu-bybpI0
I know I can make it so I go on a button, click enter, this brings me to a new menu with a new background, but I want to cut on the amount of menus. I like the idea of the background changing automatically without having to go to a new menu.
Thanks for your time and help!

When using dupe Menus and Auto Activate, I strongly recommend that one sketch out the flowchart first, and also think about using Button and Menu names, that relate directly to where they need to Link. With a bunch of Buttons, it can get involved pretty quickly. With a bit of planning, things will be much easier. I usually will layout my flowchart in Adobe Illustrator, and use the images of my Menus, in that image. It really helps me plan things. However, using AI might be overkill for some Projects, and a pencil and paper would do the job.
Good luck, and remember, if played on a computer, the effect will not be so fluid, as the user must click on the "original" Menu to get to the "dupe" Menu with the different background - just a limitation of Auto Activate on a computer. In a DVD player, it will be pretty seamless, and can look beautiful. I use this general technique to create what appear to be Sub-picture Highlights, that are really graphics.

Desktop background changes when I change the user

The background changes from solid dark grey to solid dark aqua blue, when I make a quick user change. It happens automatically. Even when both desktops have the same (dark grey) background. This is a mess. Is it a bug?
Thomas

that usuall happens when you are not connected to the internet. if you were running wifi your connection could have been lost for a moment and then recovered.

Oracle Hint not causing any change to explain plan

Hi,
I was facing a problem about ORA-00600 for using Connect by Prior query,
details of which are at -
Connect by Prior - ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kkqcbydrv:1
As is documented by Oracle, workaround for this is to use /*+ NO_UNNEST */ in query.
I displayed the explain plan for original query and after putting hint in query.
There is no difference in the explain plans, I am a starter for explain plans and don't know much of it.
But shouldn't the hint cause some change in explain plan?
Even the hash values as mentioned in explain plans are same.
Thanks in advance.
Av.

Perhaps it would help if you put the query (with the hint) and the explain plan here.

Why does my launchpad background change automatically??

I am a new to macs and I am having the same problem. After downloading gogle chrome then installed I decided I did not want to use it. My mistake I decided to uninstall but simply dragged tha app from the finder widow to the trash. After that launch pad started to do the same as above.
Plaese can anyone help?

The bookmark tab went from the right side to the left side. I did not change that. what cause the change from the right side to the left side?

The bookmark tab went from the right side to the left side. I did not change that. what cause the change from the right side to the left side? Also the the Mozilla Firefox tab on the upper left hand corner changed.
Its was a red colored tab and now its blue in color. I did not change any thing!

Hey jimmiet,
There were some recent ui changes around the downloads manager. What version where you on before? Anyway, you can customize things in Firefox really easily. Take a look at [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars|this article on customizing Firefox]] for details. Should be a piece of cake to move the bookmarks button.
As for the color of the button, you might be in [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit|Private Browsing]] mode. That changes the color of the button from orange to a purplish color.

Every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac.

Every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac. I have background switching unchecked in my preferences, and I have never selected it as an option. Also, when I go to my preferences, it will show the icon of the picture I changed it to, even though the desktop itself has switched back.

I would start with some basic troubleshooting.

Put another picture that you DO like there... same process--select the image > Set as Wallpaper.
Or use the default theme wallpaper on the same menu.

Cinnamon background changer will not load background images

Hello,
Since about yesterday (when I did a pacman -Syu), the cinnamon background changer refuses to load any images to change the background to. When I run cinnamon-settings from a terminal and select backgrounds, the following occurs:

So I'm assuming it's somehow not properly loading the images. I can't add any images manually either, since once I do it gives this error for that image as well.
I can provide a list of the packages updated. Cinnamon was not one of them and downgrading Cinnamon did not help.
Thanks in advance!

Editing the Text May Cause Layout Changes Message

I have tons of files created in old illustrator 6.0 and now that I have CS2 loaded on Mac OS X.5.8 I'd like to open and edit some of these documents.
It says, "This file contains text that was created in a previous version of Illustrator. This legacy text must be updated before you can edit it." It asks you to either Choose Update or OK to update later.
So I chose Update for one of the files, save without compression. Then I open it and it looks OK. I thought that this UPDATING would allow me to work with the document freely. However, when I attempt to change some type I get a warning saying that "Editing the text may cause layout changes.• Choose Copy Text Object to update the text and preserve the original layout as a separate object. • Choose Update to update the text without creating a separate reference object." Why am I getting this warning? Do I really have to click on every bit of type I wish to edit and deal with this message each time? If I choose "update" the type disappears entirely and if I choose "copy text object" it grays out and I can't select it. Either way I have no way of editing my document.
Please advise and keep answers as simple as possible.
Thanks.

Hi Mylenium,
Wow. What a nightmare. We're not talking just retyping, it's really re-typesetting etc.
Tell me, if I were to copy and paste the old document into a new one or something like that, would that bypass this problem?
Also, someone in another thread which I started (link to it below) mentioned that I could "batch update the files as CMYK and with the legacy type updated as well." I know that it's separate issue, but I was wondering if I were to do this, might it help with this Text Editing issue?
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2740960#2740960
Please advise.
Thanks in advance, very much.
