What is the little square?

I have a new installation of LV on a Dell Precision 370 Workstation configured as follows:  2.8 Ghz p4, 1 g ram, 2 SATA HD, PCI express NVidia dual head video card, dual LCD displays, and a PCI-6071E DAS card.  Whenever LV is running, a little square, about 2/3s the size of the minimize button floats on the number 1 display.  It can not be moved, does not respond to double clicks, however, it can be grabbed and an outline dragged.   The outline vanishes when released.  It does not seem to interfere with any applications, including LV.   The center of the square momentarily changes to a blueish shade of color when DAQ Assistant property box is clicked OK, whether modified or not.  The only time it disappears is with another application running on top of it or LV is shut down.
I was having a problem with the DAQ Assistant locking the system; installing the 7.1.1 Update seems to have cured the locking problem, but not the little square.
Has anybody seen this?  I can email an image of the little creature, should anybody need to see it.
Thanks for looking into this,

Look to me like a front panel with size 0,0.
Could you poll VI-server and ask for open VI's and their size? I have no idea how these pop-up but maybe the getting started window is hijacked?

  • What is the little square box in the string constant input?

    Hello LabVIEW World -
      I am attempting to understand a LabVIEW code that I did not write.  At one point, there is a string (Equal?) comparison that is comparing a string from a VISA Read to a string constant input.  The string constant has a little square box inside of it.
      Does anyone know what this little square box is?  (See attached screenshot)
      Thanks.

    When I place string constants like this I will display then either as hex or in the codes mode. Either of these will make the code more readable. Using the default ASCII string display is useless other than letting you know it is an unprintable character.

  • What is the little square on the Menu Bar?

    The Menu Bar displays a peculiar little square. It doesn't seem to do anything... just looks like a graphical glitch.

    I've had that for a while, too. I had FoxTab when I upgraded to Fx4, so I assumed it was Fx4. If you disable FoxTab, the square disappears (for me at least), so it must be a bug in that extension. If there was a function to enable/disable extensions, maybe with a list of checkboxes, that would make troubleshooting that stuff easier and quicker.

  • What are the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of a movieclip in the actions panel?

    What do the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of the movieclips in the actions panel mean?  [Fig. 1]
    I'm working off this template in Flash CS3, that's using ActionScript 2.0 actually.
    I don't know whether or not that means anything in regards to the above inquire?
    Again, any help is appreciated.
    Fig.1

    OK, I think I might have figured this out.
    First. You guys keep insisting it's the Movie Explorer. It is not. It is the Actions Panel. You can see for yourself. Option+F9 opens the Actions Panel. Option+F3 opens the 'Explorer Window'. They are similar in appearance but they're not the same thing. They're just not.
    Second. I believe that the red dots on the movieclips, and also buttons, indicates when there is actionscript directly on the movieclip and/or button, as oppose to actionscript written on a frame within a movie clip and/or button.
    You really have to pay special attention to the top of the Actions Panel right next to where it says 'Actions' there's a dash '–' and then it says either 'Frame', 'Movie Clip', or 'Button'. This indicates exactly where you're about to write script to, or where you're reading the script from, so it's important to pay attention to this.
    That left side pane, in the Actions Panel, is divided by 'Scene' and by 'Symbol Definition(s)' and it's confusing because it's possible to have a symbol appear more than once depening on where the actionscript is located (i.e. on a frame or on the movie clip or button itself).
    For example if you have script on a FRAME within movie clip A, it'll appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, without a red box, but if you were to write script on movie clip A itself, it would still not have the red box on it in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, BUT it would appear again as movie clip A in the SCENE pane, and this time it would appear with the red box next to it, casue it now has actionscript directly on the movie clip itself. Wow, how confusing is that ha. 
    Keep in mind that if you made a movie clip B, within movie clip A, and if you placed actionscripts directly on movie clip B, NOT on a frame, then movie clip B would get a red box and appear UNDER movie clip A, within the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, NOT the SCENE pane. Ha.
    If you wrote script on a FRAME within movie clip B it would appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) again, yes a second time, twice, but WITHOUT a red box. Confused yet? ha.
    I don't know why Flash decided to do it this way. But it starts to make sense when you're actually viewing it, when it's in front of you. I think this is just for actionscript 2.0 (and for actionscript 1.0 presumably), but I don't think this is the case for ActionScript 3.0, because in as3 it's all instance name based, and targeting based, so there's no such thing as writing script directly onto a symbol of any kind, button, movie clip or otherwise.
    But yeah, that's it in a nutshell.
    Thanks for trying to help anyway.

  • What is the little hole next to the headphone jack for?

    What is the little hole next to the headphone jack for? Not the SIM card eject on the side. The similar hole near the headphone jack.

    The hole on the top is your noise cancellation for phone calls and application VOIPs. It may also be used on other kinds of apps such as memos and video recordings.

  • What is the little black gauge on the upper left of the desktop?

    What is the little black gauge on the upper left of the desktop?  I just received my Omni 10 and set it up today. The screen (desktop) has this stupid black bar (gauge) on it that reads 100. I cannot move it, close it, or figure out what it does. Can any one help?
    Thanks.. sometimes we old guys are a little slower to learn new stuff

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I spotted your request when it was 1st posted, but I haven't experienced the 'phenomenon' myself so I've been waiting for someone who had, to post a fix — possibly saving you from some troubleshooting steps...
    If you've already found a solution, updating your original post might help steer others to that solution in the future. On the other hand, we can proceed to trying a few things to narrow-down what's causing that "stupid black" blight on your tablet's screen:
    Right-off, regardless of the cause — just shutting-down then restarting your tablet may correct the issue; if the bar persists after that, you might check via Task Manager to identify a likely suspect under Startup items. Your description suggests a battery gadget or an app which uses the built-in microphone displaying the mic's sensitivity setting — possibly Skype or other 'social media' software. 
    Please update this thread with your current status re. this issue...

  • What is the little red light?

    What is the little red light next to the ear speaker on the iPhone 5? It's very hard to see unless in a very dark room and it goes off when I lock my phone.

    I saw a forum saying that was what it was. I felt that if that was so that it would stay on even when my phone is locked? Also there are multiple reports of people knowing for sure that there is no water contact with their phone and they still see the light.

  • What is the little circle spinning at the top of my phone

    What is the little circle spinning at the top of my phone

    If you mean the one in the upper left corner by your carrier name and WiFi icon, that is a symbol that indicates that the phone is connecting to a website, downloading something. It is a network activity indicator.
    If it is continually spinning, it is searching for a signal or for something that it's not finding.

  • TS3276 What do the little icons in mail mean?

    If you mean the little icons next to the message like below.  It indicates you've replied to a message, an arrow going to the right means you've forwarded the message and a paper clip indicates an attachment.
    Items on the toolbar can be identified by right clicking the toolbar and selecting icons with text.

  • What do the little icons mean?!?!

    Hi,
    A quick question, well 2 really!
    I have a specially inquisitive client, who is always asking me difficult questions:
    1) In mail, what do the little icons mean that you sometimes get when opening an IMAP account. They look like little circles next to the inbox name - one has, like, 3 quarters filled in, the other has, maybe, 1/8th filled in... I can't find this information anywhere!
    2) Why does it take longer to show messages for IMAP accounts? I guess its because Mail is checking the synchronisation (or something else) between Mail and the IMAP server, but what's the official line?!?!
    Cheers!
    JS

    Hi James,
    Since no-one else has replied I'll try to answer your question.
    The circle you discribe is shown to the rightside of inbox when the Mail-app is connecting (retrieving) messages. Or when you click on another mail-box such as Trash or Junk. If it's not completing which it should then disappear, Apple suggests you go to DOT-MAC & read your mail there. This is because since the release of Tiger or mid 2005 Mail-app has difficulty reading unread mail from DOT-MAC! But I do find that if it's already open it can sort my in-coming Junk mail OK! And un-read messages. This answers your second question, I hope this helps.

  • What does the little cloud with a down arrow next to a song mean

    I upgraded my phone from iOS6 to iOS7 and had to remove all my music to get enough space which is fine because I wanted to reload it anyways.  When I opened the music app, thinking there would be no music there, I was surprised to fine hundreds of songs each with a little cloud with a down arrow next to them.  What does the little cloud with the down arrow mean?  If I click on it am I purchasing something? Are they songs I can listen to for free?  I don't use and have never signed up for an iCloud account so they can't be songs I purchased because I haven't purchased any songs.

    Means they are stored in the cloud and you need to download them.

  • The little squares where you check yes or no to a selection is missing?

    On a web page where you must select a place to check for your selection (like yes or no), the little squares where you select and check are missing on most of the web pages. This began about 6 months ago. Using Win7 and Firefox. Thanks

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • What is the little Red 1 on the iCal icon in the Doc?

    Uh...what is that little red 1 on the iCal icon in the doc when I open iCal...and how do I make it go away?
    I'm sure a ridiculously simple answer is headed my way...Thanks

    Moving Still,
    That means that you have an event invitation. Click on the envelope icon in the bottom left corner of the iCal window to display the invitation and choose what to do with it.

  • What does the little circle with a line in it mean when in edit mode? how can I get rid of it?

    What does a little circle with a line in it mean when I am trying to edit? how do I get rid of it?

    robynlwitheridge
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    From your description "little circle with a line in it", that sound like a symbol when you are trying to do a cannot do operation.
    What exactly are you doing in your edit activities when you see this circle with a line in it? Is it at the end of the mouse cursor?
    Can you post a screenshot of it?
    If my first impression of what this is happens to be correct, then "How do I get rid of it?" answer comes from
    a. defining what you want to do
    and
    b. correcting any mis-steps you are taking in doing that
    We will be watching for your follow up.
    Thanks.
