Use start screen for start menu

As a member of the rarest breed of people who like the start screen, it would be nice to combine where 10 is with where 8.1 has moved to with regards to the start screen.
I would like to be able to disable the whole recently used/pinned left panel and just have tiles come up. I never use it given the pinned task bar. I don't use jump lists in the start either.
The menu should be resizeable horizontally as well a vertical. I would make mine the full width.
We should still be able to make custom named tile groups just like in 8.1.
Basically I'd just like the start screen embedded in a resizeable pane from the start button.
Making that background transparent would look really slick. Perhaps something like this; i.imgur.com/bcVVLLH.png

Hello,
For people who like the start screen I think there is still option to use the start screen. Just right click on taskbar ---> Properties --->Start menu ---> Uncheck the "Use of start menu instead of start screen".
Since based on your description you don't quite need anything from start menu it would be a good solution for you. In this way you can have your start screen back, and don't bother about the start menu.
Best regards,

Traded tilted screen for bum menu button

I had one of the infamous tilted screen ones. I took it into the Apple Store and they traded it out with one that appeared new. The screen on this one is nice and square. When I got it home to try out though I discovered that the menu button though feels like one of the really cheap bubble buttons like on the Logitech mm50 remote. It feels "hollow" and makes a much more audible click. It feels a bit like I'm popping the Trouble dice bubble in second grade again.
One reviewer mentioned that his menu got better with time:
http://www.macnn.com/reviews/apple-ipod-nano---third-generation.html
I've pushed mine a few hundred times to see if it got better with use as his did. Not working so far.
It's too **** bad when a such a wonderful design like this new Nano is executed so poorly. I'm tempted to head back again. If I had to pick between a straight screen and this button, I'd probably stick with the button. I worry that if I go back to swap it out again, I may end up with another a tilted screen.
When you do the mail in deal through AppleCare for iPods generally, do the refurbed units they give you have new batteries?
Also if anyone has seen other discussion of this issue I'd be grateful for links.

Firefox will not use full screen for display

I asked this a while back and never got it resolved. I hope someone can help because I've been using Firefox for years but for the past couple months have had to use other browsers because FF is not working properly.
First of all- the display of any sites only takes up the middle os the screen. Even if I hit CTRL and scroll it enlarges the text but never expands to fill the whole screen as other browsers do. On my old computer I never had this problem but ever since I switched to my new one, with new flat panel monitor and Win7, I have been having this problem.
Also, I chose the Win7 theme of high-contrast black with pink. This has resulted in issues with many sites not displaying their chosen backgrounds and worse yet even sometimes buttons and other content on the pages is obliterated/hidden/invisible. Like you can still click on something if you can find it. The old version of Flock which is FF based also has this problem (as well as having all-white url and toolbar areas so you cannot read anything) while Google Chrome and new Flock do not- so it is definitely a problem with the coding here.
Please help, I would like to use Firefox again if I could also enjoy my new monitor and not just 1/3rd of the screen or less.

You can see that there is a VERY wide margin on either side- and this was already enlarged substantially with control/scroll which did not widen it at all (as it does on Google Chrome) only enlarged the miniscule text. I opened the exact same page in Chrome and widened it to fill the whole screen...

When I use full screen, the top menu is supposed to disappear but does not, why?

Firefox ver. 3.6.8: A friend was using my computer on the web on Firefox. It was already set in "full screen" mode [F11]. She did something, doesn't know what, but now when I go into full screen mode [F11] the top menu does NOT disappear as it should. You know, you hit F11 and when it goes into full screen mode, the last thing that happens is the top menu "disappears" and NOW it doesn't. Iv'e checked configurations and can't figure out what went wrong or is wrong.
Can anyone help, PLEASE!!!

Tiny screen for context menu, bookmarks menu, and firefox menu is destroying usability.

When ever I bring up a menu on Firefox, I get a screen shot of the entire screen compacted into the menu that I am trying to use. If I click a menu in my bookmarks bar, I get a compacted screen shot of my browser overlaying the bookmarks menu.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

I have a macbook pro retina, is it possible to use the screen for my xbox, I know the hdmi is an output not an input but didn't know if there was some sort of workaround for this?

would really like to play xbox on my macbook pro retina screen, please help?!

Outputs yes but not input. You might be able to find some kind of video input device but that would most likely have to run inside an app and would cost much more than a small monitor for your Xbox.

How to set correct audio output while using external screen for presentation purposes over a wire

while trying to make a presentation or simply playing a video from my MacBookAir over thunderbolt/HDMI table to large screen I am experiencing problems with audio only being played from the MBA and not the soundsystem built in to that screen (unless using a VLS application and manually selecting the audio output target).
Please help in finding how to steer audio output device using 2in1 cable such as thunderbolt?

Hi jar9,
If you are not hearing audio over your HDMI/Thunderbolt connection, you may want to see if it is showing up as a selectable audio output as outlined in the following article:

Probably you need to install updates, particularly KB3036140.
Since you cannot use Start menu to go to Windows Update, follow this method given by Insider Hub.......
Checking for updates may fix this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
Select the Internet Explorer icon.
Type http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
Enter.
If you are prompted to run a control, click
Yes.
This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
Hold down the Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.
OR
Hold down the Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
shutdown –r to restart.

Glitch in Windows 10 about Start Menu when it will not show

I just installed windows 10 on a vm and when I first installed windows 10, I clicked the
Start Buttonand the start menu did not show up. Is there a way to fix this? I've tried:
1. Rebooting
2. Double clicking the button

In build 9926, there is no such option as " Use Start Menu instead of Start Screen " anymore.
As to your Start Menu not showing up, MS is aware of the issue.
In fact, Insider Hub has posted Known issues in 9926. One of the known issue is the Start Menu.
Here is the direct copy......

Using dual screens cannot play sound on either screen

I have an HP Envy TS m6 sleekbook.
I use 2 screens for work. If I want to play audio on either screen, it doesn't play anything. I'm not sure whats going on or what settings I need to tinker with or change.
Any help would be great

Hi brokerbizwash,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are using two monitors, but not getting any audio on either one when connected to your HP Envy m6 Sleekbook. I will try my best to help you with this issue. Although you have two monitors the audio should be working from your Sleekbook. Has the audio been working and now has stopped.
Here is a document for No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8) that explains how to use the Troubleshooting tool to check your audio.
I hope this helps, please let me know how it goes.
Thank you and have a nice day!
I worked on behalf of HP.

Hello Gurus,
I have heard abt the Dummy Fact table and Cartaision join in OBIEE ...
and we have one situation also where user needs to see all possible rows for report even if it's balnk..
Can someone please suggest me some blog or use of dummy fact table to overcome such issue.??Here are two ways you can achieve what you are looking for:
1) This is one way to do it and the way I discovered before learning the second way. The benefit of this way is that it is easier to maintain. Try it and see if this works for you.
Re: Section Values showing NULL in Pivot
2) The second way gets your report exactly how you want it to look and I have used this method as well. The downside to this (in 10g) is that making changes to the report is not that easy. You'll discover what I mean if you apply this method.

Which LCD screen for design would you recommend?

Hello,
Now that my 22" CRT screen is slowly dying on me, it is time to find a replacement within my max 800 EURO budget. CRT are unfortunately barely available anymore and those few come at premium prices. So a LCD screen...
As a professional multimedia designer I value IQ and decent color reproduction/depth, and I would use the screen for (web)design, photo editing, illustration, some animation and occasionaly design for print, apart from playing sometimes dvds, webbrowsing and very rarely a game.
b Question #1:
I haven't decided yet if I should go for one 24" screen or go for a dual screen setup of 2x 21/22" (or perhaps 22" and 19", since the secondary screen is mainly used for Adobe panels).
What is your experience and opinion about this?
b Question #2:
Now I know that for the best color reproduction I should opt for a 24" S-IPS panel. And would I live in the USA I would have likely chosen the much praised NEC2490WUX.
However, I live in Europe and there this NEC 2490 is not for sale.
Even worse, at 24" size there are almost no S-IPS screens at all on the market and certainly not within my 800 EURO budget.
"So why not focuss on finding a good 22" S-IPS screen", I hear you cry... well, they don't exist either. Most 22" panels are TN, an occasional one VA. I could find some 20" S-IPS screens, but at huge cost (around 600 EUR). So that doesn't seem to be a good choice.
Alas, I have to focuss on finding the best M/PVA screen 'for (web)design, photo editing, illustration, some animation and occasionaly design for print, apart from playing sometimes dvds, webbrowsing and very rarely a game', and preferably one at a good price/quality ratio. And therefore dealing with issues as gamma and colorshift which are apparantly inherent to this type of panel.
So my question to you is... do you have experience with a M/PVA LCD screen that you would advice me (or not ofcourse). I have been shortlisting the Eizo S2431 (based on a PRAD.de review), the NEC2470WVN... but both are fairly expensive screens (though within budget) and I cannot really judge if either one of these VA screens is worth the extra money and useful for my needs.
Thank you for reading and any input you may have!

Eizo displays are well regarded for color accuracy. I am not familiar with their entire range, but you should check that the response time of the LCD on any panel you buy is fast enough to show video and animation without ghosting. That was not an issue with CRT monitors, but LCD technology is still catching up on response time with some of the panels available.
