What can affect the size of a front panel object between versions of Windows?

Greetings, all!
I have a client that wants to use a piece of LabVIEW code on Windows XP, Vista, and 7. The application was originally written to run on XP machines, so everything looks OK there. However, on Vista or 7, certain front panel objects appear larger than they do on the XP machine (in one example, all of the string fields in an array of strings are taller). Other objects (such as a text label) appear smaller.
The machines in question all appear to have comparable DPI settings, and monitor resolution does not seem to be a factor. The application uses Application Font in various sizes in the cases of interest. Can anyone suggest some other things we can check?
Thanks!

This issue is coming up more and more lately. Particularly as people move to Win7 machines. I've seen differences between my home Vista machine and my work XP machine.
It comes down to the system fonts used by the different OS's. XP's basic font is Tahoma. Vista uses Segoe. I believe Win7 is the same as Vista, but I'm not sure. The fonts appear similar, but one font or the other is slightly larger. So any features that are based on a font size will change. This includes the sizing of labels. Text within local, shared, global variables, and references. Enough that it can cause wires to move a few pixels on a BD, and objects that are aligned on one system to look slightly misaligned on another.
I think that if you set the fonts you use to a specific font, rather than Application font (which is taken from one of the current Windows font settings, you will avoid the issue. The other possibility is to define which font is used for the application font within your LabVIEW.ini. (Or the application's .ini file if it is built into an .exe.)
Do some searching on the forums for application font, system font, dialog font, windows versions. You'll find quite a few threads where people had different variations of this problem.

Edit Disable Panel Grid Alignment does not affect the Positioning of Front Panel Labels

In LabVIEW 2010, when I choose Edit>> Disable Panel Grid Alignment the positioning of Front Panel objects gets much finer so that I can make small adjustments. Put it does not seem to affect the positioning of front panel object labels. These object labels still move in very coarse increments and do not allow me to position them carefully.
How do I turn off the Grid Panel alignment for Front Panel Labels?

The positioning of labels you encounter has not so much to do with any grid, but with the fact that for labels, LabVIEW attempts to snap them to one of the control corners if you get close enough to the owning control. Outside of a certain range of the owning control you should be able to place them easily on any pixel. The snap behaviour of owned objects is not configured through the panel grid option. I'm not aware of an option to disable this behaviour, but usually find it rather handy instead of annoying. If it happens to not be exactly as desired, I adjust with the label selected and using the cursor keys.

Photoshop CS4 for Mac What can cause the error: Plug-in failed to load - NO VERSION

With Photoshop CS4 for Mac I install the Kodak Plug-in DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0. When Photoshop starts I get an error:
Plug-ins that failed to load:
   DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0 NO VERSION - - from the file “DigitalAIRProv2.plugin”Flash:
   Connections
   Kuler
This plug-in works fine on my Mac Pro with Photoshop CS4 and OS 10.6 but fails on a new Macbook Air.
Reinstalling the plug-in did not make any difference. What can cause this error?

Thanks Chris, That was my first thought too but this same plug-in works on another installation of CS4. This is a Mac installation and the plug-in is Universal so it should work. Is there any other possible cause for this error? Would Photoshop refuse to load a plug-in in a low memory situation?
Also, The Flash extensions:Connections and Kuler are working OK, I just copied a little more out of the System Info report than I needed to.

What is the maximun number of front panel objects in LabVIEW 7

I need to know what is the maximun number of indicators in a panel control, LabVIEW 7.0

According to the post here the 555 limit in LabVIEW 6.1 is no longer in 7.0 but I don't know if there's a much higher limit or if you limited only by the amount of memory in the computer. How many do you have? By using clusters and arrays, you should be able to dramtically reduce the number. You might also want to think about moving seldom used indicators to subVIs that pop-up on demand.

Can anyone explain what the 'other' storage consists of and how I can decrease the size please?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
"Other" refers to OS X files, caches, downloads, documents. See Other in this website > http://pondini.org/OSX/LionStorage.html
I would not worry about Other because they contain files that you need, but if you want to decrease the size, start deleting downloads and documents

What does not affect the size of the classfile

Hi
does inclusion of extra whitespaces affect the size of the classfile (that gets created after compiling).
does inclusion of java comments increases the size of the classfile.
are there any other things that when included, does not affect the size of the classfile.

Madhu_1980Shouldn't you be worried about getting your program working by using the right constructs rather than constructs which result in a smaller .class file?
Are you restricted on the sizes of your .class files?

Fonds look great. The moment I publish it all looks different. Color, size... What can be the reason?

iWeb worked just fine. But now I have a problem after publishing. It all looks fine but going on Safari changes all. Any idea what can be the problem?

Reinstall on both.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.

Can change the size of the redolog files while the database is running.

How the size of the redolog files will hurt your database performance ?
Can change the size of the redolog files while the database is running in oracle 9i. ?
What will be its impact on the standby database ?
Thanks in advance.

redo logs that are too small can cause waits on the switches for heavily utilized systems. logs that are too large are a pain the a$$ during recovery. check v$loghist to see how often switches occur - an average of 20 minutes is good; if you have many switches happening back-to-back, that's a bad sign.
you can change the sizes while the db is up. choose a redo group that is INACTIVE, drop it, delete the files, and recreate it with larger files. then force a switch ("alter system switch logfile;"), and do another inactive group. I actually prefer to do as many switches as necessary to make the new group active so I can verify that I didn't screw up before dropping the next group.
not sure of impact on standby database.

Is there a possibility print settings ( scaling) to affect the size of the document?

Dear Friends
my question is this
is there a possibility the print settings (scaling in the print window) of a document in AI CS4 to affect the size of the document when is saved as PDF file ?
the reason i am asking is that we have a dispute with a printer
the project was designed in Illustrator CS4 and it was saved as PDF
he claims the pdf document we gave him was scaled down ( due to the scaling we used in the print window when we were printing the document for proof reading )
he says the document when it was saved as pdf it kept those print settings and it scaled down the document size
i asked around various people and all of them said thats not possible
i just want an answer from an adobe expert...
thank you in advance

aspyro,
the printing house that produced our leaflet claims that the artwork we gave them was at a wrong size ( slightly smaller than the intented document size) we carefully examined both illustartor files ( where the project was originally designed ) and pdf ( as it was saved as after completion ) and both of them were correct when it comes to document sizethe printing house claims that the settings we had at the print window ( lets say 50% scaling) affected the output size of the document when it was saved as pdf ( and the document size was reduced at the half)
is this possible?
In the PDF Print dialog, there is an option, Expand small pages to paper size; it is necessary to tick that if the PDF is A5 and you wish to print as A4 or similar (you can see by switching it on and off), but it is only relevant if there is a page.
The opposite option, Shrink oversized pages to paper size, may yield a slight reduction, maybe to 99% or so, even if you seem to have the correct page size.
Did you Save As PDF or Print to PDF?

My apps dance open and close on their own in my IPad 2 what can be the prob? I have already restored

I got the charger flex or pin changed and now the apps dance on the screen, photos open and zoom in, then out, the other apps open and close. I have already restored the device with Itunes and prob is still there. What can be the problem? Any suggestion will be welcome. Thank you

THANKS for your prompt reply Bluetooth is off in my laptop and IPhone.. and in fact the reset is the only thing that can make it back to normal. But for a lil while. I wonder if it is the touch, or the home botton... both things are very expensive to replace, so I wouldn't like to spend $$ and continue having the prob.....

Hi Richard,
You mentioned that 'Apple put the AirPrint spec out there for all printer makers'. I've been looking around but I haven't found any spec. Where did you find it?
Do printer makers have to buy a license in order to be able to advertise that they've implemented the AirPrint protocol? Is there maybe an Apple review process in place?
TIA

Pse trial v12 installed but when opening the editor it shuts down after 2 seconds, what can be the problem? I have windows 8.1 64 bit with the latest video drivers installed. Thanks

PSE trial 12 installed just fine but when i start the editor it opens and shuts down after about 2 seconds without an error, the only thing that appears is a message with 'continue trial'.
I have windows 8.1 64 bit and i already installed the latest video drivers, intel hd 4000 and nvidia geforce 710M.
I also installed premiere elements version 12 with the same problem.
What can be the problem here, please help?
Thanks.
Wim.

Hi roberto-
Yes, its a shame. I have also contacted lenovo support hoping that they can sort out this problem. However, first response from them was 'contact your internet service provider since internet connectivity goes down'! :-/ I am hoping I have been able to get through to them now at least about where the problem lies. I wonder if anyone has tried using the laptop with the same broadcom wireless adapter with some other version of OS (linux, windows 7 etc.) and whether they still face the same problem. I haven't tried that yet. If this is just an OS / driver issue I hope someone somewhere is working on a fix! If not, I guess the only other solution would be to get an external USB wifi adapter but that is not something one would want to do when you buy a brand new Lenovo laptop. This was a big let down for me.
