Viewing a video (YouTube, etc.) disables the mouse scroll wheel - switch to Opera and scroll on a page, return to FF and wheel is reenabled.

After viewing a video (usually YouTube, but not exclusively; either directly, or embedded in a web page), the mouse scroll wheel will become disabled. If I then switch over to Opera and use the scroll wheel on any open page, the scroll wheel will be re-enabled upon return to FireFox.

Important questions:
What ActiveX control are you using?
I'm using the PDF activex control to display a PDF on the front panel of my VI.
What version of LabVIEW are you using?
I'm using LabVIEW 7.1
What "control pages" are you talking about?
The pages of the PDF: it has several pages. If a mouse is held over it the user can scroll using the scroll wheel, or if they right click they can access the Adobe menu.
It's these that I'd like to inhibit them doing.
Thanks

Crackling/substandard sound in flash videos (YouTube etc) regardless of video quality setting.

Hi all,
I hope you can help! Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, I'm struggling to find the best place to put this.
1. a summary of your issue
Crackling/substandard sound in flash videos (YouTube etc) regardless of video quality setting.
2. the type of computer you use—Mac or PC?
Desktop PC.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, all updates installed.
3. steps you've already taken to troubleshoot
The problem occurs after installing Adobe Flash Player 15 Plugin to any browser (I mainly use FireFox). It's listed as Adobe Flash Player 15 ActiveX when I installed it for Internet Explorer.
Before installing it, I can hear the videos fine but I am limited to a maximum of 720p quality on YouTube.
I removed my sound and graphics drivers, after restart Windows 7 decides it will install them again but as the generic/universal ones. No change.
I've heard that because I have the Windows Aero theme activated, I need to disable hardware acceleration - tried this in various ways:
a) Generic PnP monitor Troubleshoot tab - Change Settings button is greyed out (whether or not I have the real/generic/universal graphics drivers installed). Can't find a way through nVidia control panel to do this either.
b) Disabled hardware acceleration in FireFox - no change.
c) Found on your forum here that I can go to a page which will check my Flash version, in theory I could right-click it, hit Settings and disable hardware acceleration there - no "Settings" option in right-click menu. Seems the page has changed.
I can't seem to find a way to interface with Flash directly to disable hardware accelerattion - if this is indeed the solution.
Regardless of Windows Aero theme, I've got it on basic theme now and still the same problem.
I recently reformatted and re-installed my PC, it was working fine before I did this (maybe I had an old Flash release installed?).
I'm at my wit's end... please help!

Sorry, it's all sorted now. After re-installing the sound drivers, decided to tinker with the settings one by one. I had my Creative sound card in Game Mode, thus it was assuming 2.1 speakers aka headphones. Put it in Entertainment Mode and it recognised all the 5.1 speakers for flash videos. Doh!

Disable the mouse pointer icon!

As in the title, is there a way to disable the mouse pointer
icon, ie when you rollover the button it changes to the "finger". I
dont want to see the "finger" I just want it to remain as the
"arrow"

Well, I must by now reply to all of you.
First, "urami" made a good point when referring to kiosk
interfaces. It makes sense to have no roll over in this case and I
fully agree with this statement.
But in the case of the interfaces we commonly create in Flash
we need the finger icon to indicate that there is a photo-button or
a drawing-button or a clickable text here and, if we want to "hide"
it or if we do not want the user click it, we can with simple
functions (related to _x and _y mouse position) disable or enable
depending the circumstances the hot spot when the pointer rolls
over it.
The quoted remark of "DMennenoh" is not relevant.
Why? Simply because in the OS all buttons are clearly
designed as... buttons! There is no need to change the pointer icon
as we perfectly know what we are going to do and where we must move
the pointer to do the action: Open, Save, etc. And it is not only
the case for buttons, it's also the case for the menu bar...
In the interfaces we design, it is not always the case.
In all my interfaces, I always have in mind these:
How shall I react if I see this interface for the first time?
What can I do and where?
I suppose you'll agree with me if I say that some interfaces
are so bad that it is very helpful to have the finger icon just to
indicate that the area under the pointer is clearly a hot spot...
I think this discussion is far from ending...

How to temporarily disable the mouse on a Mac?

Over the last year I've gotten really big into using keyboard shortcuts and I'm amazed at how much more quickly I can fly around the computer now. I also learned how to use Quicksilver on a Mac and love that for quickly switching between apps without having to go for the mouse.
What I'm wondering is whether anything exists that temporarily disables the mouse to basically force you to learn keyboard shortcuts and other ways to navigate "mouse-lessly". Ideally something where the mouse would be disabled and you'd have do something to actually re-enable it anytime you want to use the mouse. After having something like that going for a few days my guess is that you'd have learned most of the remaining shortcuts?
Please let me know if any of you have ever come across something like this. Thanks!!

Thanks for that.
Interesting.
On my MBP (the new one) I have two separate panes, one for keyboard and mouse, one for trackpad.
My K & M pane has all the mouse stuff, but none of the trackpad stuff, of course.
The trackpad thing has this really nice video that goes with the gestures configurations.
But no "ignore trackpad input" thingy. And no "accidental input" thingy either.
I have suspected that on the new MBPs with the new gesture trackpad, that some items have been eliminated. For example when using gestures, one cannot "Ignore accidental trackpad input" when it may be that several fingers on the pad are not accidental at all.
My MBP is late 2007.
As a side issue, the newest MBPs do not have firewire, and I don't want one w/o FW.

Disable the mouse temporarily

I use a laptop and I would really like to be able to disable the touchpad using a keyboard shortcut or something. I have seen ways to disable it completely, and I could just disable tapping and the scrollbar, but i would really just like to press the windows key or something to turn it off or on.
I am using Xmonad and Openbox (not at the same time ) so i can figure out the shortcut part, if someone could point me toward how someone can disable the mouse.
Thanks

How to Disable the Lead selection Action on aTable n How to Refreh a Page

HI....
1)How to Disable the Lead selection Action on aTable n How to Refreh a Page r web dynpro application.
In my case i have a table n user enters data on multiple rows in table , n i have some input fields outside of table for those Inputs fields am settiing the data at the screen initilization(in Init() moethod by hard code).the problem is whenever the is clicking in th 2nd row of a table the Lead Selection is triggerig and the data in the Input Fields outside the table is not displayinig.
So by removing the lead Selection Action of a table i thought i can reslove this,
2) How to refresha page(like we click F5 on key board),is it can be done thru code in web dynpro application
Regards
Rajesh

Hi,
You did not explained what is your functionality or coding in leadselection. Is that action on leadselection is necessary for you?.
1)If you just want to remove the action then go to table properties and remove the action for leadselection.
2)If you still want to continue with your leadselect action, then what you can do is.. write the code in leadselection action to again set the input fields which are out from table. That is what you did in your init method.
Page Refreshing
3) What do you mean by page refreshing? is that refreshing your table only or both the table and input fields.
What I understood is you are allowing the user to enter values in table and soon after pressing a button the values should be saved and the data in input fields shld be deleted. For this if you only invalidate the node then the user entered data will be lost.
So what you do is after getting the input data from the user add it to a ArrayList and then invalidate the node which clears the data in input field. Finally bind the Arraylist to your node. see the following code. This is a concept make changes according to your requirement
ArrayList list1=new ArrayList();
wdContext.nodeAbc().bind(list1);
IPrivateExcelviw.IAbcElement ele = wdContext.createAbcElement();
ele.setNo(wdContext.currentAbcElement().getNo());
ele.setName(wdContext.currentAbcElement().getName());
ele.setMarks(wdContext.currentAbcElement().getMarks());
list1.add(ele);
wdContext.nodeAbc().invalidate();
wdContext.nodeAbc().bind(list1);
Revert me if you have any doubts

Disabling the external ring/silent switch on a 3G

Is there any way to disable the exernal Ring/Silent switch so it cannot go into the Silent mode using that switch.?
When I slide the phone out of its case, my thumb catches the edge of the Ring/Silent switch and moves it to the Silent position without realizing it. Now after the phone is reinserted in the case, I dont hear an incoming call because its vibrating instead. Vibrating in the case while hanging on my belt doesn't get my attention at all and I miss the call.

Your only solution is to get another case that doesn't make you grab the phone at the switch. (Be sure it's specifically designed for the 3G phone so that it doesn't block the proximity sensors.)

Is it possible to disable the mouse automatically scrolling the video playback head?

Previous versions of iMovie allowed me to move the mouse without moving the playback head. Doesn't appear possible in '11. Can it be toggled?
Thanks.
Lindy

No. If I run the mouse over a video in iMovie, the video automatically scrolls along with the mouse. The audio skimming function (if on) allows me to hear the audio along with the video as it scrolls - a useful feature, but not what I'm trying to fix.
What I'd like to be able to do is turn all of that off so that the only way to play a video is to start it with the space bar.
As it is now, if I select a spot where I'd like to place a marker or split a video, I have to move the mouse in order to initiate the command that I want. But the moment I move the mouse to go to a menu, the video moves to a different place, making the edit more difficult.
iMovieHD ('08) did not have the scrolling function, and while I appreciate the usefulness of having it, I'm struggling with being unable to turn it off. I could play a video to the point where I wanted to edit it, fine tune the playback head location and perform the edit without so much as touching the mouse.
It's not that I'm incapable of doing what I need to do with iMovie the way it is. It just seems a bit tougher to accomplish these things with the scrolling when I don't want it to. Seems like it should be a Preferences setting or something. But I can't find it.
Thanks.

How can I disable the mouse button 4 and 5 "forward" and "back" functions through firefox?

I've seen this problem come up on forums before but was unable to find a good solution.
When using Ventrilo, I have my speak button bound to the mouse button 4 of my logitech mouse. This button is conveniently placed for gaming because it makes use of my otherwise unused right thumb, and I have been using it for years and probably couldn't adjust if i tried to change it.
Firefox uses mouse button 4 for the "back" function, meaning that if i'm on ventrilo while browsing the web with firefox, i have to remember to move the cursor to the menu bar at the bottom of my screen or go back a page. it's infuriating if i forgot, especially if i'm playing some sort of browser game at the time, as i basically have to restart whatever i'm doing.
The only solutions i've found for this involve binding mouse button 4 to some other (rarely used) key, which is an annoying solution at best, or changing some vital computer files, which I dont have the expertise to do myself and dont trust anyone else to do for me. It's an absolutely unacceptable solution anyway: why should i have to change my computer's files to disable a function which should be editable through firefox?
does anyone know how this can be fixed? or know how we can get mozilla to put this feature into some future patch, as other people have been asking them to do for YEARS?

This can be a highly frustrating problem. I just spent 45 minutes working on an email. Nearing the end I go to grab my mouse after typing and accidentally hit mouse 4 and lose everything. This isn't the first time I have lost work or an email. I would say the ONLY reason why there currently lacks a strong feedback against this is because the majority of people do not have mouse 4+5 buttons on their mice. Please add the option to just disable this "feature". It's just far to easy to accidentally hit these buttons accidentally and potentially lose a lot. I don't know anyone who actually uses these buttons anyways.

How to disable the mouse on T43?

The mouse will do some work without being clicked, for example, if the point is accidentally on the top, all the windows in work will be minimized suddenly. So I was wondering how to turn off the mouse so that I could use an outside one. Thanks a lot!

Welcome to the forum!
What you're experiencing is Trackpoint calibrating itself, which is a normal operation.
If you find it annoying, Trackpoint can be disabled in BIOS, under "configuration" and then under "mouse", it's pretty self-explanatory once you're in there.
Hope this helps.

How can I disable the mouse pad? I prefer to use a mouse.

The pad is particularly a nuisance when I try to type, perhps I catch it with my wrists, I don't know. I'd rather use a mouse.

The 'quick and dirty' way would be to cover the trackpad with something thick enough not to pickup 'taps' or 'gestures'. A business card cut to fit tightly should be thick enough, but I use a three thicknesses of index card glued together and cut to fit tightly into the trackpad opening ''(one corner cut off so I can remove it when I do need to use the trackpad)''. I did that back in 2008 with an Acer laptop and do it now with my Asus EeePC 900 netbook; if I don't have the mouse with me ''(or the battery is dead - wireless USB mouse)'' I just remove the cardboard "plug" so I can use the trackpad.
Beyond that, check with a Windows 7 support forum to see how to disable that "device". That really isn't a Firefox support issue.

Overlay an item over an activex control and/ or disabling the mouse scroll wheel

There seems to be several references in the discussion forum to placing a picture control over an activex item to prevent the activex item being selected etc.
The thing is, I can't seem to do it: the activex control is always on top, no matter what I do and no matter what control, or decoration I use.
What am I doing wrong?
Failing that, is there another way of stopping the user getting access to the activx control?
Essentially what I want to do is stop them accidentally scrolling through the control's pages with the mouse scroll wheel. I've stopped them accessing the scroll bars, BUT it is still possible to use the scroll wheel unfortunately.
Something else I tried was a tab control: placing the activex control on a page and then trying to make the page on top transparent. Needless to say that didn't work....

Important questions:
What ActiveX control are you using?

Is there any way to disable the mouse-over function of the Spry Menu Bar (CS5)? Click-open preferred

Hello,
I'm using the standard CS5 Spry Menu Bar (Horizontal) in Dreamweaver. I have it set up exactly the way I want with CSS. However, I've very little experience with Javascript, consequently I'd like to ask anyone here for some help in modifying this aspect of the Spry Menu Bar. I'd like it to 'click-open' and not open when the mouse is over it. I've tried to change the delay variables in the code to something that has a longer duration in milliseconds; unfortunately, this tends to cause some bugs such as the menu re-opening once the mouse is no longer near it and other such bugs.
The ideal solution for me would be to have it open when it's clicked on once. The reason I need this is because the menu appears over some buttons - there's no way around this for me, it's the layout I absolutely must have. Although the buttons don't overlap with the menu, they are very close and it is annoying when your hand slips a little and the menu pops up over it all.
I'd appreciate any help at all, thank you.
PS:- The Javascript containing the delay variables I tried to modify.
Spry.Widget.MenuBar.prototype.init = function(element, opts)
    this.element = this.getElement(element);
    // represents the current (sub)menu we are operating on
    this.currMenu = null;
    this.showDelay = 250;
    this.hideDelay = 600;
    if(typeof document.getElementById == 'undefined' || (navigator.vendor == 'Apple Computer, Inc.' && typeof window.XMLHttpRequest == 'undefined') || (Spry.is.ie && typeof document.uniqueID == 'undefined'))
        // bail on older unsupported browsers
        return;
    // Fix IE6 CSS images flicker
    if (Spry.is.ie && Spry.is.version < 7){
        try {
            document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCache", false, true);
        } catch(err) {}

Hello,
Thank you so much for replying so quickly and moreover, solving my problem. I must apologise for not doing more research about this issue by searching these forums more thoroughly. I found a similar post here:-
http://forums.adobe.com/message/139937#139937
Your solution goes one step further and eliminates the need to search through the Javascript for the relevant code.
Thank you again, you've helped me a great deal.
Best wishes,

Though videos (YouTube) play correctly, the sound is terrible.

Yes, I have installed Adobe Flash Player 10. The video is great, but the sound is terrible. It varies in speed and volume, there is static-just awful.

Make sure that you allow the plugin-container process in the firewall.
