Window pop-ups when gaming

I bought a Y50 gaming laptop recently and am having an issue I can't seem to stop. When I am in a game (Team Fortress 2) often the last app I used just pops up and I have to ALT tab back into the game. First it was the Lenovo assistant so I uninstalled it, now it is the news, it seems to be the last web-based app I used.
I can't for the life of me figure out what keys I am pressing to activate it because when it happens I am typically pressing the left mouse button and direction keys (W,A,S,D). Since I used WIn7 prior to this I am guessing WIn 8 has some wonderful function/shortcuts I am aware of that is causing this to happen.
Any insight would be appreciated as this is quite annoying.

Maybe you are just pressing certain key combinations or shortcuts randomly. Check in the synaptics software to disable the touchpad when an external mouse is plugged in.
That is the only thing I can think of right now.

  • Yesterday, since I downloaded the lastest version 3.6.6, every time firefox opens and when I click on something, I get multiple error windows that say "ERROR: Security Manager Vetoed Action. I can't hardly use if anymore because of all the window pop-ups

    Yesterday, since I downloaded the latest version 3.6.6, every time firefox opens and when I click on something, I get multiple error windows that say "ERROR: Security Manager Vetoed Action". I can't hardly use if anymore because of all the window pop-ups. What can I do? Can I go back to an older version?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

  • CC window pops up when switching desktops in Mac OS X 10.8.4

    I have just updated all my apps to CC. Everything looks fine so far. The only glaring annoyance I see is that the CC window pops up when switching desktops in Mission Control. I normally work with four to five desktops and switch frequently between them. The CC window keeps popping up from the menu bar icon even though there is nothing new to report or alert. Is this a bug, or is there some way to stop this?
    P.S. I just tried selecting "Open As Window..." and the problem goes away. However, if I then select "Pin to Menu Bar..." again, at first it will seem to stay quiet between desktop switches, but as soon as I open the window the first time and close it again, it will resume the annoying behavior when switching between desktops. Seems like a bug to me.

    Hi Geezjan,
    I recently responded to another user which was reporting the same thing. I've passed this info on to our engineering team. Thanks for letting us know.

    How can i get rid of this iidiotic pop-up. allple is changing for the worst. you have to buy a new macpro in order to upgrade to a higher system, sounds like obamacare.

    You have probably clicked on a mailto: web link which directs links to send e-mail messages to wherever the webmaster chooses.    Go to the View menu -> Show Statusbar if it available, and then make sure the bottom of your screen is visible.  When you hover over a link, if it says: mailto: it will open in your default e-mail reading application set by your browser or your e-mail program preferences.
    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Software Update lets you change how often you see the software update window.

    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Why does a finder window pop up when I open numbers?

    Why does a finder window pop up when I open numbers?

    New Document is one click in the lower left of the opening window!  You could write an AppleScript to avoid that one click, but that may not be worth the candle.
    Note that after that one click you can save an additional click by specifying 'Use template:<your chosen template>' instead of 'Show Template Chooser' in Numbers > Preferences > General.

  • How can you get your music synced from iTunes to your iPod when a window pop ups on the screen saying"The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019))?

    I had 429 songs already on my iPod Touch. When I was in the process of syncing a song from my iTunes Library on to my iPod, a window popped up on the screen saying, ""The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)). I click "Device" on my iTunes Library to make sure the song was in my iPod. It showed the song that was recently synced now listed under "Device", but when I physically looked for the song on my iPod Touch, it does not appear on there at all. It all started when I decided to put a Playlist I created in the iTunes Library and transferred it on to my iPod. Do you know why it may affected my syncing process and is there any way where I could get the syncing function back to normal so that I can continue adding songs on my iPod? Thank you for listening.    P.S. My iPod iOS version is 4.3.5.

  • PSU causing lock ups when gaming? K9A2 Platinum

    I am having black screen and occasionally grey screen lock ups when Im playing games. It can happen within 10 minutes or up to an hour. I have to press the power button to restart and dont get any windows errors or blue screen. I have no issues when watching videos or just tooling around. My PSU is a OCZ600MXSP and Im thinking its not up to spec. I have everything running stock. Is it likely my PSU doesnt cut it or is the black/grey screen freeze thing an cpu/gpu overheating issue?

    All of my drivers are up to date (I do use driver sweeper as well). It happens pretty much in all games, from BFBC2 and TF2 to some crappy kid game my son plays online (Wizard 101?). Im not sure what the temps are under load but at idle they are good (cant recall what exactly they were but were in the proper temp range). My monitor has just finally died as Im typing this on my laptop (bad caps on power board  ) so Ill test the temps while gaming when I can hook it up to my big LCD.
    Could the lock up with no blue screen/error report indicate a component overheating?

  • Why do multiple Download windows pop up when I download a PDF or other file?

    Everytime I try to download a file (PDF, JPG, DOC) that was attached to an email (I am using Outlook WebMail) the document will download fine HOWEVER eight (8!!!) or more Download windows pop up as if I tried to download that file eight (or more) times.
    So then I have to "X" out of each window after downloading one file. It is the same file listed on each popup window.
    Since this is a new problem I tried shutting down the computer and restart but not successful.
    Firefox 26.0
    Any help...PLEASE!?!?!?

    THANKS Waka_Flocka_Flame!!!
    (I pressed the "Problem Solved" button however it did not give me a chance to type anything so I found the thread and pressed "Reply")
    Anyhoo...I went to Safe Mode and Firefox worked great. Went back to regular mode and again multiple Download windows when trying to download a file.
    I then did as you suggested and poked around in the Add Ons and there was something called Download Manager Tweak that was upgraded last week and that was when the problems started. I got rid of it and my Downloads are working great.
    THANKS AGAIN!!!

  • How to avoid IE pop-ups when running BIP reports(w/ SSO) from Oracle Forms?

    Hi all,
    We have an OID/SSO integrated Oracle Forms and BI Publisher environment in place. We/users expect the same behavior when running Oracle Reports or BIP reports from Oracle Forms... which means receiving no intermediate pop-ups and simply getting the report output to appear in the relevant target application(PDF, EXCEL, etc). Currently we get multiple security warnings when running BIP reports from Oracle Forms.
    Here's a list of Pop-ups contents:
    1. "File Download - Security Warning" Do you want to open or save this file? -> OPEN
    2. "File Download" Do you want to save this file? Name = ma01r500.pdf -> YES
    3. "Save AS" -> pick desktop and save.
    4. "Download Complete" -> OPEN
    We have experimented with setting various IE security settings to LOW/enabled and still get these pop-ups.
    Any suggestions is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Yahya

    FYI... Metalink Note 282996.1 has resolved the bigger issue with the extra pop-ups with SSO enabled environment.
    Cause:
    Internet Explorer (IE) has to cache PDF files in a temporary directory prior to opening the file. Without this IE cannot process PDF files. With SSO protected pages, the header cache settings are set to no-cache which prevents IE from downloading PDF files.
    Solution:
    In mod_osso.conf use the entry "OssoSendCacheHeaders off" which tells mod_osso to turn off all no-cache related headers, which the enables Internet Explorer to be cache the file in a temporary directory.
    Now I am not sure if anybody has any thoughts/suggestions as how we might be able to resolve this issue where Oracle Reports WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT calls have no pop-ups so ideally BIP reports WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT calls should behave the same as both are calls from Oracle Forms.
    But at least now our SSO enabled environment and un-secure DEV/UAT behave the same with a single pop-up. Ideally the users shouldn't have to come across this intermediate pop-up to open(save/cancel being the other options) the document(just like Oracle Reports calls).

  • Office 2013 windows 'pop-under' when run as remote apps on Server 2008R2 from Windows 7 clients

    We have an environment with Windows 7 clients running Office 2013 via RDS on Windows Server 2008R2.
    When users double click emails from Outlook, they 'pop-under', forcing the user to relocate the window which has fallen behind the application's primary window, leaving behind a slight redraw of what is supposed to be the pop-up window. Users also experience
    difficulty opening application menu/help items and any other dialogue boxes in any/all of the other Office 2013 apps we've deployed via RDS.
    This issue persists only on Win7 PCs (WinXP does not exhibit this behaviour). The RDP clients range from 6.2.92 to 6.1.7601

  • Lock ups when gaming

    I was playing World of Warcraft (no apologies) and I had my first lockup since OS 10.x came out. I thought it odd but figured I was due. I hard booted my machine and launched the game again. Less than two minutes later it did it again.
    I fought with this for most of the night, even trying windowed mode so I could at least force quit the program, but it so locked up the machine I couldn't even do that. Assuming it was a WoW problem I went to their support page and tried all of their software based recommendations, including trashing the program and reinstalling, to no avail.
    I left it alone for the night and tackled it again today, all day. I am apparently not the only one having this problem according to the WoW Mac support forums and as is typical everyone assumes it is something wrong with the game. I was inclined to agree since I could do anything else I wanted to do as far as work and Activity Monitor and AHT revealed nothing wrong. At a loss I did more research and have tried the following:
    •Disabling Spotlight with Spotless (Shareware)
    •Installing SMC Fan Control (Freeware) and cranking fan speeds up to 1400rpm
    •Putting sound through Built-in Output
    •Removing all unnecessary peripherals
    •Disabled all known startup programs
    •Ran only WoW with no other apps running
    •Ran every non game app I have installed at the same time (at least 25 including CS3 Design Suite) without locking up
    •Ran 30 video files at one time without locking up
    Desperate I used Bootcamp and switched over to Windows XP, which I loathe, and went through the 2 hour installation process only to have it lock up while I was waiting in queue to log in to the game (about 2 minutes of the program being open).
    I hard booted the machine into Windows again and loaded up Call of Duty 4 and it locked up on me too. So now I'm scared I actually have some sort of hardware problem and while I haven't had any problems with non game apps I'm afraid this could start messing with my work.
    Console gives me nothing conclusive though I don't know what I'm looking for. Any help out there?
    Message was edited by: Phoenyx (typographical and grammatical errors)

    I find it hard to believe it is an overheating issue when it locks up on login queues. Thanks for the info about Windows but I'm not trying to hard to make things run on that side. XP was just a test.
    I have run permission repair using Disk Utility and the Apple Hardware Test, neither finding anything to cause these sort of problems. I'm not trying to spend $100 on something (Disk Warrior) that may or may not fix the problem.
    Are there any other tests I can do to narrow things down?

  • How can I disable the "location" pop-ups when entering a new event in Calendar?

    When I add a new event in Calendar on my computer (Macbook using Yosemite) and then start to type an address or place in the location field, a pop-up list of locations appears from which I can choose.  If I choose one of the listed locations, then a map appears (which I don't want) along with travel times, etc.  I want to disable this feature.  Seems the only way I can ignore this pop-up list is to hit the tab button as soon as I have finished typing.  This doesn't occur on my iphone or iPad (I can just click "done" and ignore the list).  I really wish I could disable this feature!

    The registration screen should only appear after every 5 launches.
    If you register FCE it will no longer appear assuming it is on the same computer.
