Tecra 730XCDT display size problem - possible to fix?

At 1024 768, the screen is full, but on changing to 800600 and 640480, the visible screen shrinks slightly and drastically in that order. Is it possible to get a lower resolution screen to completely fill the display area?
I've already got the BIOS to stretch text, but there is no setting to stretch graphics.
If someone has got this working, can they send me the name of the driver file, and I will hopefully find it somewhere to install it?

Thanks for replying. Its a Toshiba Tecra 730XCDT which I bought secondhand. It had Windows 95 installed on it, which I upgraded immediately to Windows 98 Second Edition.
I just wondered who else out there might still use this computer and could check whether it is supposed to shrink a lower resolution picture. If so, fine. If not, I have caused the problem by upgrading the operating system. I can regress it back to W95 if I am sure that the correct display driver is on the W95 installation disk. If not, Toshiba put it on, and I would like someone to peek at their driver details and if possible send me the driver.
Thanks again!

IBook G4 display size problem

I ran the Safari 4.0 update and restarted my iBook G4 (PowerPC). Now the display is slightly larger than my actual screen size, and the graphics quality is worse -- everything appears slightly out of focus. As I move the mouse around, the display moves also; for example, if I move the mouse to the upper left, the Apple menu icon comes into view, but I can't see the dock on the right, and if I move the mouse to the right, the dock comes into view, but the Apple menu moves beyond the edge of the screen. I looked at the Displays menu; I'm set at 1024x768, and my only other options are 640x480 and 800x600, neither of which helps. What has happened, and how do I get my old display back?

I posted this same question on MacRumors, and someone told me how to solve my problem. For some reason, the zoom function (for people with vision problems) had been turned on. I went to System Preferences -> Universal Access and turned zoom off. Problem solved. Only question remaining is how it turned on in the first place. There's apparently a quick-key combination to turn it on, so I'll blame the cat walking across the keyboard.

Tecra R850 - Display driver problem - BSOD

Hi,
I own a Tecra R850 with the ATI HD 6450M, and every now and again it hangs and BSOD appears.
I've observed that mainly it happens when reproducing flash videos.
After checking System Events I've discovered it's a problem with the display card driver.
The event system says that may be a solution [here|http://wer.microsoft.com/Responses/Response.aspx/21682/en/5.1.2600.0.00000000.9.9?SGD=13feb1cd-4c8b-4c3a-aeee-ca4ca2c99729]
This webpage indicates that it is a bug in the driver and I must upgrade to the latest driver to solve de problem, and it provides a link to ATI webpage.
I've downloaded the drivers from ATI webpage and the installation program says that it is not compatible with Toshiba laptops.
I've checked Toshiba webpage and I already have the latest (and unique) driver for my display card.
As it appears on the webpage it's a driver bug, but Toshiba seems not to have released any update in the driver despite Ati has...
Any one can help?
Thanks,
Jose.

Hi Keany,
yes, I have the original preinstalled Windows, but I think I upgraded to the lastest display drivers. It has begun to happen a few weeks ago. Maybe it's related with the latest Flash updates...
How can I extract the original drivers from the recovery dvd?
The version of the drivers I am using right now is 8.801.2.3000 02/03/2011.
By the way, I don't know if its related but I'm using an external monitor. I don't work directly on the laptop, I have a keyboard, mouse and monitor connected to it.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Video to sequnce display size problem

Hi all,
I am in a bit confusion. I made a video through lumion software in nHD resolution of 640 x 360. Premier has preset display resolutions that stop me from using my video resolution as native for the sequence. When i provide custom resolution in the sequence settings... it opens up with the same but gives away 2 black vertical borders at ends making my widescreen aspect to normal screen.. My question is... how can is how can i resolve this problem. I want my sequence to adapt itself as per the imported video without cropping or making borders which is a good feature in After effects.
Regards and thanks in Advance

Hello,
It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
Reset the Firewire bus
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.

Ipod update freeze, firewire problem, possible fix for many.

Hello all,
I've been having a problem with my ipod 3rd gen updating in much the same way as many in this forum have throughout a number of topic threads.
PROBLEM:
During song/playlist/content (not software update or restore) updating function one of two things would happen:
- update would freeze at some point of the transfer (5, 74, 687 songs in to the update) and I would have to force quite itunes and, not being able to dismount the ipod through recommended procedure, I would physically dismount the ipod and receive a scolding for improper dismounting of device.
- system would crash at some point of the transfer yielding the shaded screen and a prompt to restart the computer by depressing the front panel button for two seconds.
In each of the above cases, no matter how many songs that itunes thought it had transferred, I would only have about a dozen songs on the ipod itself, perhaps indicating a bottleneck on the G4 end of the transfer.
DEADENDS FOR ME THAT MAY STILL SOLVE PROBLEM FOR SOME:
- swaping out cables
- ipod software restore or restore to earlier version
SOLUTION:
After contacting Apple support, I was led to the opinion that the problem was with the firewire port itself. This was confirmed by attaching my ipod with my cable to a roomates G5 resulting in a faultless transfer of his song library. I was ready to go out and purchase a new firewire PCI card but decided to research firewire problems in the G4 folder of Discussions. This is where I found the fix to my problem (see links at bottom of document). It would seem that Mac ports, both firewire and USB, have a tendency to bog down after awhile and need to be reset. This can be a addressed by one of three possible solutions. The first and easiest was the solution that worked for me (for other solutions please follow links at bottom of page):
- powered down and disconnected all firewire and USB cables from the G4
- disconnected power cable from G4 (for laptops I would guess that the battery would need to be removed, not sure if that causes any other problems though, please research)and let sit for about 30 minutes.
- reconnected all cables and restarted computer. Ports should be reset at that point
- I took the added measure to restart my computer once with nothing attached to USB and firewire ports and then powering down with front panel button before connecting cables and proceding with final restart.
RESULT:
Faultless transfer of 37.6 gigs of content in less that 45 minutes.

Good Luck

This worked perfectly for me!!!
SOMEBODY PLEASE TAG THIS POST!!!
i have had the problem that everyone has posted about (i.e. - updated iTunes/iPod software and had the update/freeze problem, tried all solutions, to no avail, and was pretty much screwed.)
JUST DO EXACTLY WHAT HE SAYS TO DO (powermac g5, by the way):
1) power down the computer
2) unplug EVERYTHING (usb, firewire, power, monitor, etc.)
3) leave unplugged for 30 minutes
4) plug power back in
5) power up from main power button
6) wait for computer to start back up, then shut down from power button
7) plug everything back in and power up
8) restart once more for good measure
9) update your ipod
10) take a sigh of relief!
you are seriously a godsend...only one thing...I BOUGHT A NEW ONE ALREADY!!! i literally bought it the day that you posted this solution. After a month and a half of trying to fix this problem, i finally gave up and bought a 20GB iPod Photo with applecare...cost me about $380.
no matter, i think i'm gonna sell my "older" ipod to my mom or dad. they'll use it doing whatever they do. plus, that way, if there's any problem, i can fix it for them without feeling bad about screwing over some stranger.
thanks again, this solution worked perfectly.

Trying to make a flex application scalable in its display size by using a "Host-swf" - Problem

We created a flex application using Flex 3. What we are
trying to do is to make this application scalable in its display
size. That means we want the application to scale itself to exactly
fit the size of the browser window without using a scrollbar like
normal Flash-swfs do. Sadly flex application don't scale like a
normal flash swf.
To get a workaround for this we created a so called
"Host-swf" with flash CS3. This Host-swf loads the flex application
and adds it as a child. And voila: When calling the Host-swf our
application can scale.
We used this code to achive this:
var oUrlRequest:URLRequest = new
URLRequest("Flex-Application.swf");
var oURLLoader:Loader = new Loader();
oURLLoader.load(oUrlRequest);
addChild(oURLLoader);
This works perfectly as long the browser window is larger
then the resolution of the host-swf (900*600) when calling the url
for the application:
Picture showing the
scaling
But it doesnt't work out when the browser window is smaller
than 900*600. The application is then shown with a scrollbar, and
when resizing the browser window the scrollbar is still there:
Picture showing the
application with scrollbar
Maybe anyone already tried to achive the same thing and has a
different solution for us?
Thank you in advance!

When I set the Application width and height to a percentage
number, it will
change its size based on the size of the window.

How to set a uniform display size of multiple intermedia image types - wher

I have read "If you want to limit the size of the file that can be uploaded, you can do this as a post generation
step, by adding the maxFileSize property to the <controller> element in the struts-config:
This does not address how to limit the *** display size *** where you have multiple intermedia image types - where the original size is not uniform.
If an image is uploaded where the true image display size is 1024 x 768 - it will display that way in the table/table-form. This will create un-even display size's where previous images sizes where different 384 x 384 and so on.
Is there a way to encode the display size so that *** ALL *** images regardless of their true size are displayed uniformly at least on one dimension (64 x ???)? This is possible when using products such as Dreamweaver or Flash.
BTW - JHS/***JDev*** synergy is truely magnificient!!! Way-To-Go Oracle!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up!!!!
BG...

Bill,
I did some tests, and was able to reproduce it. The problem is that JHeadstart distinguishes between display types fileDownload and image, but UIX uses the same <media> tag to handle both display types. It will look at runtime whether it must render a hyperlink to download the document, or to render it right away as an image.
To get all images the same size, you can set the display width and height, AND the display type must be set to image.
However, to get the file name used as download link, you must set the FileName attribute AND the display type must be set to "fileDownload" ..
So, to solve your problem, it is easiest to set the displayType to "fileDownload" and set the width and height properties post-generation in the generated UIX page.
In the next release of Jheadstart, we will fix this, and always pick up width, height and fileName settings regardless of the display type.
Note that you should also set the FileName property against the attribute you are using to upload the file.

I have a ibook that powers up but has no display, is it an easy fix? how much will it cost?

I have a ibook that powers up but has no display, is it an easy fix? how much would it cost to fix

Hi,
Can the sounds of an active hard drive be heard at some point (indicating a normal startup)?
There is a problem with the graphics processing unit (GPU) and its ball grid array (BGA) on some iBook computers, leading to similar symptoms. Reflowing (resoldering) the BGA is a work for specialists, and is going to be expensive. A web search will return a number of more or less realistic alternative attempts to solve the issue. Outside pressure applied to the affected area has sometimes been used for troubleshooting, or even as a temporary "solution".
It is of course possible that the iBook in question has a completely different fault, such as a broken display cable.

Trying to read some pdf document in safari, i only have a quicktime icon is it possible to fix this?icon

i often can't read pdf files when surfing on the net ,Safari try to upload the file and display a quicktime icon, in the best cases i have only the first page of the document is it possible to fix the problem ?
sorry for my bad english

Right click on a pdf file and choose "Get info" then on the info window, from the drop down list select an application you would like to use to view your pdf files (Preview would be a good start) and click on a "Change All" button bellow.
This will tell the Mac to use Preview or any other application you choose to open a pdf files.
Additionally, you may uncheck "Open safe files after downloading" in Safari.( Safari > Preferences > General) at the bottom of the window,

Self Assigned IP / DHCP problem : sharing my fix.

Okay. I WAS frustrated for a long two weeks before I figure this out. It seems that this problem has affected a LOT of people out there, and since I now am (supposedly) free of this thing, I want to share my hypothesis of the problem's roots (A) and my fix (B).
Note that:
- i'm free of this problem since the last one week, so .. well, hopefully this is right.
- the problem happens almost anywhere, with any router types, and in any connection type, be it ethernet or wireless a/b/g/n.
- the problem is automagically fixed by running into safe mode.
- the problem keeps happening again and again, although you have powercycled everything of the electronic peripherals in your house, even by disconnecting your phone/ADSL line and main power fuse.
- disabling the Mac OS X Application Firewall sometimes cures it, but most of the time it happens again.
- AFAIK (correct me if i'm wrong), the ipfw, mother of all OS firewall, exists within Mac OS X, and the Mac OS X Application Firewall (i call this OSXAF) has nothing to do with ipfw.
A. My hypothesis and the reasons.
* for an unknown reason, there is a rule created for ipfw that tells it to block the ports 67 and 68, both are the common DHCP ports.
* because of that, your Mac cannot contact with any DHCP servers, anywhere. This forces your mac to assign an IP address by itself.
* disabling OSXAF incidentally removes that rule, but after (one or a few times) reconnect or reboot, the rule appears again.
* powercycling your routers or anything related does not concern ipfw, thus has no effect whatsoever to the problem.
B. My fix.
1. Get the WaterRoof free ipfw frontend (forgot the site, just google)
2. Open it.
3. Go to Static Rules part.
4. Find everything which reads "deny blah blah blah port blah,blah,67,68,blah blah"
5. Edit those rules so that there is no 67 and 68 inside.
6. Open tools -> rules configuration -> save to startup configuration -> yes.
7. Open tools -> startup script -> install startup script -> yes.
That's all.
For me, this seems to be a permanent fix. Please note that the startup script mentioned before exists in all *nix-based machines, so don't worry about startup time, there'll be no slowdowns (again, please correct me if i'm wrong, i had only little experience with *nixes). Besides, i suspect that if you don't save and reinstall that script, the previous script is the one which has 67 and 68 inside.
Hopefully this helps. Any corrections, comments, suggestions, and/or knowledge are welcome.
Cheers,
-bam, the noob.

OK, so a little background -
I have an MBP with 10.5.5 (which I downloaded yesterday, so that's not the issue). This year at school they upgraded the wireless system and network control to Foundry routers and Bradford Securities Network Control. Problem is, my computer is intermittently and randomly having a hard time sticking with one IP and staying away from a self-assigned 169 IP. The System Prefs are fine, and even when I change to manual settings for the IP, it doesn't stick. I checked the terminal (tcpdump) and it seemed to be having a tough time accepting one of the two IPs the servers offered (there are two servers for redundancy). It asked for an IP, gets two offers, and then asks again. I was stumped, and so were the IT guys on campus. And it's not just me, many other 10.5 users are having the issue. And it's not the network, because nobody else is having the issue but 10.5 users. Certificate problems are similarly eliminated from possibility.
The IT guy showed my this thread, and I was excited, so I first tried to just shut off the Firewall all together, and that worked, briefly, but now it doesn't matter if the Firewall is on or off, the problem persists. I tried your WaterRoof method, and the similar program NoobProof, but there were no rules relating to ports 67 or 68 at all, let alone denying them. (As a side note, when my FW is off, there's only the rule allowing all IPs in and out, and when it's on (but only allowing specific programs) it gives a second rule that denies "icmp from any to me in imcptypes 8." No idea what that means.) I've been watching tcpdump and the FW logs closely (as well as the console itself), but nothing has changed. The only interesting thing is that when the IP changes from the (good) 137 IP I'm supposed to have to the (bad) 169 IP, often times (in fact, most times) there is no firewall activity. The console says that the en1 link (wireless) is now down, and the tcpdump picks up the computer asking for an IP again, but the firewall logs pick up nothing, neither through the console or through WaterRoof. Which is weird, because I thought it was a FW problem (as did the IT guys), but the logs show that only occasionally when the servers offer me an IP does the FW block the request, but not all the time.
As another point to note, this is not only an issue with the wireless. The wired connection (Ethernet right into the wall, and attempted from many different plug-in sites) also has this issue.
My only conclusion is that the FW is buggy, or that the logs are missing denials, neither of which makes much sense, IMHO.
Any thoughts?
EDIT: Shutting off the FW often solves the problem, but not always. Sometimes I can get a correct IP even with the FW in full swing without anything popping up in the logs. And sometimes I can't.

Windows 8.1 forgets dpi / display size settings for one monitor on almost every reboot

I use TV 32" with 1920x1080 and cintiq 13" with 1920x1080
when I boot my PC the resolution is fine but DPI is wrong.
In smaller monitor It's look like DPI is higher than the bigger one.
I already set dpi to be the same (smallest 100%) but it's not work until I do something to change display setting.
It's really annoy me. This problem is not happen when I use windows 8
Only solution I found is turn off
"Turn on fast start-up".
When I do that It's boot like what I want. every monitor is the same DPI.
But it'll make my boot time longer.
It should be just start up windows and use the same dpi from the start.
So I think this problem is a bug in windows 8.1
Best regards

Thank you for reply.
I've already used the latest graphic card driver. But It's won't help this issue.
In registry editor. I check those variables then value of them is already set like that blog suggest.
So , it look like when windows start-up(with fast start-up) It use something like
suggest value for different monitor size instead of what I set in control panel. But when I turn off fast start-up windows use my setting value.
And I think there are a lot of people who got the same problem as me.
Here is an example.

My next iMac-- which graphics card; which display size?

Hi all,
I'd like some advice in choosing my next iMac, specifically regarding the graphics card and the display size.
Graphics Card:
I'm not a gamer nor am I doing any 3D animation. Is there any other reason to upgrade the graphics card? I DO want the best possible video playback (QT movies), but I don't know if the graphics card has any bearing on video playback quality.
Display size:
Aside from the obvious differences in resolution, do any of the three displays sizes (17,20,24) have any history of being better or more reliable?
Thanks in advance for any tips

Your needs will better dictate which model is best.
Video playback of QuickTine movies will not be affected by upgrading to the 24" with the nVidia chip.
No 3D gaming or animation means no need for a higher end graphics card. In my case, the x1600 ATi in the original Core Duo 20" is more than sufficient for everything I've thrown at it so far including full resolution "Call of Duty".
For your use, you may not need the extra VRAM but I personally would bump it up to 256MB though. Adding an external monitor will split the total VRAM between the two monitors and with Apple continually moving a lot of Mac OS X's graphical features to the GPU, the extra memory may be a blessing.
Display Size:
I believe that reliability between the three models is pretty much the same.
The advantage to the 24" is, of course, the extra screen real estate and resolution. However The price difference between the 20" and 24" could allow you to go with the 20" model and add an external LCD for a dual screen setup (if space permits).
Weigh your needs - now and the immediate future - and then look at both models in person if possible.
