  • Pink & white rectangle seen at Firefox startup

    Hi,
    I'll try to give as much info as possible. About a week ago I began to see the image of a pink background with a white rectangle whenever I started up Firefox. It appears very briefly. Is this a normal thing to happen?
    I wonder if the image that appears has anything to do with spyware, and would welcome anyone's knowledge regarding this. I am 100% certain my computer is hacked due to the fact that the cursor on my screen is frequently moved by someone other than myself who has access to my computer. I'm in a work group, am not very computer knowledgeable as far as preventing hacking, and don't know much about networks or how to permanently remove myself from the Work Group and avoid being hacked.
    Before the new appearance of the image I described at Firefox startup, I could frequently close Firefox, open Task Manager, click on Show Processes From All Users, and see an instance of Firefox still running. This gave me the option of ending the process, which I think was indicative of the presence of the hacker. I can no longer do this because the second instance of Firefox no longer appears in the Task Manager. It was at best a temporary fix anyway.
    I appologize if this issue is better suited to another kind of forum, but I'd at least like to know if the image on my screen of the pink background with the white rectangle is a normal part of Firefox startup. I'd be grateful for any help.
    Thanks.

  • White rectangle on screen

    Just showed up today. Near teh middle of the screen an odd small rectangle in on teh screen, regardless of what window is open it is always on top and has a small black shadow on screen. whats the deal?

    Hello Tempelaffe,
    It sounds like you get this whit rectangle in the screen shot out of nowhere, but it goes away when you restart the computer. I would start by performing a Safe Boot, and then resetting your PRAM in that order. Due to the nature of the issue, try it out for a while to see how it goes.
    OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
    Starting up in Safe Mode
    To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
    The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
    To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
    And:

    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information.

  • White Rectangle Before Splash Screen

    I'm trying to show a splash screen without the white rectangle flashing first. I've explored the forums and found a lot of information on the subject but no solutions posted. Any ideas??

    by the way this is how iam using to display my splash
    private static void splash()
    th.start(); // I sleep to let the thread startup and display the window
    while (splash3.getWindow() == null || !splash3.getWindow().isShowing())
    try {
    Thread.sleep(2000);
    catch (InterruptedException e){}
    }splash3 is an instance of my class file containing this code
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    public class Splash implements Runnable, mainInterface{
    private String initMsg;
    public Splash(String initMsg) {
    this.initMsg = initMsg;
    public void run() {
    splashWindow.getContentPane().add(l, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    splashWindow.pack();
    splashWindow.setSize(splashWindow.getSize().width, splashWindow.getSize().height);
    splashWindow.setLocation(dim.width/2 - splashWindow.getWidth() /2,dim.height/2 -
    splashWindow.getHeight()/2);
    splashWindow.toFront();
    splashWindow.show(); }
    public JWindow getWindow()
    return splashWindow;

  • White rectangle in placed PDF

    Hi all,
    When I view this PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9.3.0 (Windows), I see no problem. When I open the PDF in Photoshop, a white rectangle next to the white square at the bottom left corner appears. Anyone familiar with this phenomenon? Any idea what's wrong here (problem in the PDF itself or problem in Photoshop trying to to open the PDF correctly)? The problem does not only occur when you use the "Open" command, but also when you "Place" the PDF in Photoshop.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

  • White rectangle appears on exported Gif Rollover

    Hi, I'm on FW CS3 and DW CS3 (Using Intel iMac). I'm
    exporting a simple Gif rectangular rollover from FW into
    Dreamweaver. While I'm not a web expert, I've done plenty of
    rollover navigation graphics in Fireworks. The browser preview of
    the rollover looks good in FW, but when I export it to Dreamweaver,
    it technically works but I get a white rectangle at the bottom of
    the graphic when I rollover with the mouse - a white triangle which
    I do not want to be there.
    I've tried various differences in positioning my slice in FW
    and I've tried Dreamweaver Html and switching to Generic Html in
    case that made any difference. Neither change helped.
    At the risk of cyber-embarrassment, I've published my graphic
    (It's a rollover to start an email) to this url:
    Frank Bright Contact
    Page
    I appreciate any help on solving this; it could be something
    basic which I've overlooked.
    Many Thanks, Frank B.

    Well, this is a bit awkward. I had a Private Message from
    Frank asking for a clarification, but when I reply I get an error.
    So, Frank, if you're reading...
    HI!
    What I've done is this:
    Take your Fireworks image, where you have the rounded
    rectangle vector object (and text and whatever else on your
    background color) and export (Image>Preview, not Save) that to a
    PNG 24, but save it with a different file name or in a different
    folder.
    Hmm...I've JUST realized there's a slightly easier way!
    Okay...open this flattened image. Go to Modify>Canvas>Canvas
    Color and set that to transparent.
    Select the magic wand selection tool. In the Properties
    palette, set the tolerance to 0. Click in one of the corners, then
    press your Delete key. That portion of your image will become
    transparent. Do the same for the other corners.
    Now export to GIF format and make sure to select Alpha
    Transparency so that your corners come out, well, transparent.
    If this doesn't work for you, bump your thread:

  • White rectangle when composing email

    Sometimes, when the iPhone is in landscape mode, the mail app shows a white rectangle to the right of the screen. It looks like the space that would be occupied by the virtual keyboard if the phone was in portrait orientation. Text typed into the message is entered correctly, but not seen because it is clipped by this white rectangle.
    This has been hard to reproduce, so I was wondering if anyone else experienced this.
    Thanks for any replies,
    ++aldo

    I eventually got Rich Text Editor to work; however it loaded VERY slowly-like almost one minute to load.
    I stopped using Roadrunner mail in general because of a number of other issues that made it very cumbersome to use. I went to Yahoo mail and have not had any issues.

  • Cursor is trapped in white rectangle (in windows) when trying to exit certain programs

    I recently installed windows 8.1 using bootcamp 5 onto my 2011 macbook pro that's running on mavericks.  I really only wanted it so I would be able to play some old pc games through steam.  The install seemed to go pretty smooth but I ran into a huge problem when I actually opened a game.
    I'm not sure if it's a problem with windows or steam, but every time I go to play a game it works just fine until i go to save and close it out, then a big white rectangle appears and seems to trap my cursor so that I cant do anything at all.  After some fooling around I was able to get the game to close, but the white rectangle was still there on the desktop screen and wouldn't allow my cursor to go anywhere.  I tried swapping to the space with the live tiles, and the white rectangle didn't appear there, but mouse was still acting like it was.  I had to restart my laptop for this problem to finally go away. 
    does anyone know what might be the cause or suggestions on how to fix this?? thanks!

    The issue mysteriously resolved itself. I shut down the computer, and the next day I booted back up and tried to open the same file, and everything was OK. Very bizarre, since I had opened it previously on this same MacBook. Anyway, anyone have any insight into what happened?

  • Bug: white rectangle in corner of frame under windows

    First, I know I should post a bug report, but I cannot supply source code for this problem as I can only replicate using our whole product (proprietary source).
    Under Windows only (never Linux), when using 1.4.0, I sometimes get a white rectangle appearing in the top-left corner that obscures my menus and any toolbar buttons under it. It appears intermittently and does not go away when the application is minimized/maximized. This only happens in Window and has only started since we switched to 1.4.0 (did not happen in 1.3.1).
    Has anyone else seen this? I cannot find any bugs on it in the bug parade.

    I think I have had a similar problem... In my case, it had to do with dragging a panel around in my window, and I was able to resolve it somehow

  • White rectangle in nav bar

    I believe this question was answered some time ago, but it didn't pertain to me at the time. On two pages (page 4 and 5) of my web site for grandmacs.org, there is a white rectangle in the nav bar - it is not clickable when I try to remove it. I have even deleted the page and started over with a new page and it still shows up!
    Has anyone else had this happen to them? Suggestions and solutions, please.

    What you see is part of the background because the links area moves down when you add more pages.
    From a design perspective you have too many links at the top of the page. It looks ugly.
    Perhaps you can add Sites and link to them from your main page.
    It not technical, but organisational.
    Or use another template that does not suffer from this anomaly.

  • Help with white screen on startup PLEASE!

    My new imac is only showing a white screen on startup. I am not really confortable with mac's yet to start trying a bunch of different things, I did try a restart where you press four buttons (p and r restart I think).
    I made an appt. tomorrow for the mac store. My question to you is, is this a hard drive issue. I have read a little that others have had this problem...did you loose everything on your hard drive?
    Thanks guys,
    Michelle

    To add to the conversation, my iMac has decided not to start up any further than the grey screen with apple logo and scrolling symbol. I haven't a clue what to do with it!
    I tried doing a safe boot but that didn't work. I then tried to access the disk utility repair but i upgraded the operating system on my comp to tiger so i don't know if i should be using that cd or the one that came with my computer thus old operating system.
    If anyone could shed any light on this i'd be most gratefull.. i hear reports of needing a replacement hard drive.... nooooooooooooo
