Windows 7 display setting

Running Windows 7 on new MacBook Pro 15". How do I get teh screen resoultion higher on the windows side. It will only go up to 1152x864?

You can increase the String pref '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx''' from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 steps to see what works best (150% would be 1.5).
In Firefox 3.6 and later this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements more precisely.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Use Windows Display Setting to enlarge the font size

Hi,
I'm using JDK1.4.1 on Windows2000. I wrote a Swing app that used native Windows LookAndFeel.
I'm wondering if I can use the Windows Control Panel->Display->Settings to adjust the font type and size for the Swing app. I tried it but failed.
So are the font type and font size in Java App adjustable only through programing APIs?
thanks,
Richard

So are the font type and font size in Java App adjustable only through programing APIs?Yes. WindowsLookAndFeel doesn't see any Windows native font settings.
But I think there's a way to do so (Although I have no experience about
that). Here's some hints...
Get the font settings from Windows by using JNI, and set these fonts
to UIManager like this.
UIManager.getDefaults().put("Button.font", new Font("Dialog", 0, 20));
(Try this code and you will see the Button-font changes).

Re: Failed to Start Deployment Server -- X Window DISPLAY variable not set

I don't know how you have hit that in an normal environment:-( Can you describe what you did? As long as you start the bundled AppServer in the same environment as Creator, both need the DISPLAY set.
A guess, did you try to install Creator as root and then use it as normal user? Don't do that. Creator is intended to be installed by the user who will use it!
I know our updated JDK now throws different exceptions when the DISPLAY variable is not set than the one before. I found that (but too late for the release) and have the needed change. But so far I was not aware that any customer had actually hit that. So it was not considered a high enough priority to go into a hotfix. I'll file a CR and the fix will hopefully make it into a patch.
As a short term workaround for that problem (But I still believe your setup has other problems):
Go into <Creator_home>/SunAppServer8/lib/ and replace processLauncher.xml with the backup (processLauncher.xml.bak).
The only thing you will loose, is the little icon in the Gnome/KDE/SystemTray.
I hope this helps,
Thanks,

What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message

Greetings fellow Podders, Resident Furball here...
It is about time that I produced a single post for all the chkdsk issues that we've been discussing since November 2004. The Apple KB article seems to cover the major points succinctly, but we need to address the more serious variations and flavours of the problem.
<hr>
What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
Many users are coming across this seemingly distressing error message in Windows when connecting their iPods. As described in Apple KB Article 300554, the message reads:
iTunes: iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes\????????? is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
and the ????????? can be anything (eg. sysinfo, Temp1, DeviceInfo etc.).
<hr>
Don't panic!
If you do see this, don't worry, and don't panic. Contrary to what the error message reads, this issue actually has very little to do with iTunes. The iPod_Control is the key to this - because this folder doesn't even exist in iTunes... it's on the iPod!
...so! Installing and uninstalling iTunes really won't do you much good at all... it's the iPod that needs attention.
<hr>
What's causing this error?
To be honest, we don't know. We saw a massive number of reports of this issue back in November 2004, because iPod Updater 2004-11-15 contained a firmware bug that corrupted iPod system files when the Pod entered Deep Sleep.
But this firmware bug was corrected in iPod Updater 2005-06-26.
Of late, we have seen a resurgence in chkdsk errors on Discussions. Some of these are caused by the old buggy firmware that people still have. Some of the errors are more serious and are hardware and operating system-related. But we have still to pin down the exact cause of this error.
<hr>
Okay, so what do I do if I see this error?
In short, as Apple have recommended in their KB article:
Restore your iPod, using the latest iPod Updater.
Follow the instructions carefully. Ensure that you download the iPod Updater. Ensure that you install it, and then ensure that you run it with the iPod connected and follow the prompts to the letter.
The broad majority of the errors are painlessly fixed this way. Of course, it does mean that your iPod will be wiped, so make sure that you have your music/data backed up, and/or present in iTunes so you can resynchronise it when you have finished Restoring.
<hr>
Okay, I've Restored, but the error is still coming up
Are you sure you've Restored? Quite a number of folks are assuming that just downloading the iPod Updater is enough. It's not. And neither is downloading iPod Updater, and installing it on your computer. It needs to be implemented on the iPod, according to the iPod Updater instructions.
Okay, so if you have Restored your iPod, and you are still getting this error, then you have a variety of options available.
Chkdsk errors that are not fixed with a Restore are most likely down to two things:
1) A physical issue on the iPod itself
or
2) An issue on the computer's operating system
Here's where it gets woolly. There are a variety of things you could try...
Format the iPod in Windows
This would usually have the same effect as a Restore, but a deep-level format in Windows is something that Apple have recommended in the past, as a last resort to completely wipe the iPod before performing a Restore with iPod Updater. This process wipes the iPod.
To do this:
1) Enable Disk Mode on the iPod. You can do this either in iTunes (which is best), or manually on the iPod itself.
2) Open My Computer and locate your iPod
3) Right-click the iPod and select Format
4) Leave the parameters set at their defaults, and ensure Quick Format is unchecked
5) Hit Format
6) Then Restore your iPod as normal.
Run the Chkdsk utility
You could run the chkdsk utility on your iPod. But Restoring your iPod has the same effect as running chkdsk. Chkdsk does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode as above
2) Determine the drive letter of your iPod from My Computer
3) Go to Start, Run
4) Type cmd. Hit Enter to take you to the Command Prompt.
5) Type chkdsk /f X:, where X is the drive letter of your iPod. Hit Enter, and any corrupt files are found and corrected.
Run Windows ScanDisk
ScanDisk is the Windows version of Chkdsk. It does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode
2) Right-click the iPod in My Computer, select Properties
3) Select Tools
4) Select the option to scan the disk for errors
Try changing the Drive Letter of the iPod
Sometimes Windows confuses the drive letters, and this can cause the iPod to be adversely affected. Try the instructions detailed in Apple KB Article 93499 to change the drive letter of the iPod. This does not wipe your iPod.
Try changing Hardware Policies for the iPod
The Hardware Policies in Windows have been known to affect the way in which the iPod connects, synchronises, and disconnects. This does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode so the iPod appears in My Computer
2) Right-click the iPod in My Computer
3) Select Properties
4) Select Hardware Policies
5) Select Optimize for Performance (instead of Optimize for Removal)
6) Restart your computer.
Contact Apple for a replacement iPod
Some chkdsk issues have been caused by faulty hardware. As a last resort, contact Apple Support by phone to report your issue, and/or request an iPod Service.
If you explain that you have followed all these steps, you should have a strong case for obtaining a replacement iPod.
<hr>
Thanks!
Thank you to everyone for their continued support, kindness and excellent troubleshooting skills here on Discussions. There are countless people that I am deeply grateful to for their assistance in handling this issue. Rest assured folks, you have made me the Discussions Furball that I am today.
Happy Podding folks!
Kind regards,
Gopha.

iPod Updater 2006-03-23 has been released
iPod Updater 2006-03-23 includes iPod Software 1.1.1 for the new iPod and new iPod Software 1.1.1 for iPod nano.
iPod Updater 2006-03-23 contains the same software versions as iPod Updater 2006-01-10 for all other iPod models.
What's new in iPod Updater 2006-03-23:
- Volume limit
- Bug fixes
I have been trying to ascertain from Apple Support Level 2 as to whether the latest iPod firmware improves or provides better resolution for the chkdsk issue. If anyone has been using iPod Updater 2006-03-23 to resolve their chkdsk woes, feel free to post in here just to say how things worked out for you...
Kind regards,

I see a small window displaying "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now". How do I stop appearing this window

I see a small window displaying "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now". How do I stop appearing this window

Is this after you've chosen to Shutdown from the Menu, or just on it's own?
You can press the esc key to cancel, or Enter key to shutdown.
Check your System Preferences>Energy Saver>Schedule & see if it's set to shutdown at a certain time.

Reader 10.1 issues - with 150% Display setting

I've waited a long time for the latest version of Reader (10.1.0.534) which came out yesterday. I keenly updated to it today and went testing (with my fingers crossed), only to find that it still doesn't fix the issues I'm encountering with my PCs Display set to 150% (Win 7 SP1 x64) - all the issues are all still there.
Firstly - when using under the latest IE9 I've noticed the following:
The top toolbar won't work and clicking on any button has no effect
The bottom (floating) toolbar is similarly ineffective
Somehow after I found 2 above, I've managed to loose the bottom floating toolbar altogether (and alt-F8 or F8 wont bring it back - not that its vital)
Right Clicking on the screen brings up an option panel away from the mouse
When used as a standalone app (again at 150% Display setting in Win 7) I've noticed:
The illumination of the Close, Maximise and Minimise buttons when the mouse is rolled over them is irregular and if the mouse becomes stationary on any of those buttons, the illumination goes.
Setting Display to 100% (or even 125% from provisional testing) seems to elliminate these bugs but is Adobe going to buy me some binoculars so I can see the tiny buttons and fonts on my HTPC screen from 6' away...
In this day and age of Windows coming with a perfectly capable Media Centre interface, many users of HTPCs have them set up with high resolution monitors (or TVs as the monitor) and leaving the display set to 100% is no good for regular PC functions (such as web browsing or pdf reading).
Please fix this Adobe. I've already applied to be a pre-release tester (and my application hasn't been picked up/followed up). I just feel I'm getting my moneys worth out of this product!

Hi..
Try removing a plugin...
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

Removing English IME while keeping Windows Displaying Language as English?

Until Windows 7, Windows Displaying Language (WDL) and IMEs were independent. It was possible to set the WDL to English and use only Japanese IME. From Windows 8, they seem to be combined. If I set WDL to English, I cannot find a way to remove English
IME.
Many foreign IMEs contain "English" mode. For example, the Japanese IME has direct input mode, and the Korean IME has English mode. So, English IME is not necessary, if you are using those IMEs. Having English IME is annoying because it adds another
complexity when you switch the IME using Shift+Alt or Windows + Space.
Is there any hack to remove the English IME while keeping WDL as English?

Hi,
Yes, this is by design on Windows 8.1. Unless you add another input method for this language package, it cannot be removed. It would keep one input method for this language package at least.
So far there is no any other method to remove IME and keep display language.

Unable to open X windows display

hi
I'm trying to transfer some very old PV-wave (visual numerics) routines into solaris 10 and I keep getting the following errors
WTINIT: Unable to open X windows display.
WwError: Unable to create top level shell.
Now I know I haven't given much info here but I have a feeling that its simply that I haven't set some paths properly. Where does one normally call the X windows display from.
Much thanks
Anna
Sunblade 1000 running solaris 10.

Hi
Are you logged in to the machine remotely or locally?
If locally, then you shouldn't need to change anything.
There are two things that normally control the X display: the DISPLAY environment variable and the X authority. DISPLAY is usually set to [hostname]:0.0 (unless you have more than one display or are using an X server that emulates mutliple displays).
For X authority, you can either use xhost, which is simple but poses security issues, or xauth, less simple but more secure. If you are safely behind a firewall, and you trust your colleagues, then "xhost + [hostname]" is the quickest solution.

NX6200TC primary display set as TV

I have a NX6200TC connected to a (PAL) TV and Philips 17" monitor. From time to time I neglect to switch on my Philips monitor before powering on my Windows XP PC. The system them sets the primary monitor as the TV and does not detect the Philips.
To reset this back is not easy as restarting the PC does not help. The current display drivers are Version 8.4.2.1
Does anyone have a easy way to reset the display setting so the the primary monitor is again the Philips or are there any other solutions to this problem?

Hi Richard
I have installed version 9.1.3.1 of the the ForceWare Drivers. I now have a new problem.
When Playing a video to my Pal/I Standard TV, overlay set to Full screen on the TV, the picture on the TV appears like a letterbox. Normal viewing of the of information on the computer screen is mirrored to the TV correctly.
Do you have any idea how to resolve this?

Font is shown very small when using IE Tab and Windows Display is selected to show larger fonts

I'm on Windows 7 - 64 bit and I set my Windows display to show larger fonts (from Control Panel, Display, then choose Larger Fonts). Now all pages show bigger fonts, except when I use IE Tab.
I use IE Tab so that I can open my Microsoft Dynamics CRM website on Firefox; however the fonts look way too small; it is even smaller than when the Display Setting was set to use normal size fonts.
Tried to change to use smaller resolution, it didn't work. Zooming-in is very slow on Firefox, so it is not an option for working on the webpage. Tried changing the default fonts on Firefox, however the page is still always opened with the very small fonts.
From Firefox I also unchecked the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" (from Tools, Options, Content, Advanced), but it still doesn't fix it.
Played around with my Firefox IE Tab setting, but no luck.
I downgraded my Firefox to version 3.5.9 to use the older IE tab, but still not fixed yet.
Is there a solution for this? Thanks in advanced for your help,
-Elisabeth

Hi...
Thanks for asking....
As I put in my post before, I include template0 in my template1, as seen in template1 (AHM001):
<af:pageTemplateDef var="attrs">
*<af:pageTemplate viewId="/template/AHM000.jspx">*
I use AHM000 inside AHM001. I use this approach to build many template based on one basic design.
Actually, I don't think the problem is in page template usage because as I submitted paralel to Metalink, I've already not called template0 in template1 but I copy template0's contents to template1.
Unfortunately, page designer show small view and below error messages still occured.

Windows 8.1 override for windows display language registry location

Hi,
I need to programmatically set the windows display language (control panel>language>advanced Settings) so that English (United States) is selected. Is there a registry key that I can set this to? I think it would be located here but not sure what to
change :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MUI\UILanguages
Does any one know where or how to set this in the registry? Or maybe there is a command I can run? The goal is so that the user does not have to manually do this in the control panel.
TIA

Hi mkozz28,
You can specify the default language, locale, and keyboard values during deployment or after Windows is installed. You can configure Windows international settings by using the Windows International PowerShell cmdlets, by using an answer file with Windows
Setup, or by using Deployment Imaging Servicing and Management (DISM).
In your case which is by using command prompt, we recommend using PowerShel depends on your needs.
To sets the Windows user interface (UI) language override setting to en-US for the current user account:
Set-WinUILanguageOverride en-US

X mountain lion causing my display setting to be very low after tab out from a full screen application like game. anyone encountered the similar thing?

whenever i tab out from a full screen then the display setting will auto change with a blue flash screen.

Your issue could be caused by many things however I'm pretty certain it has nothing to do with OS X being faulty. OS X is not like Windows that requires a re-install whenever issues present themselves. You need to be methodical in checking where your issue lies. There are numerous articles available that go over causes, I'd suggest looking through the X-Lab article listed below and then methodically going through each step until you discover the cause.

If you still can't find it then you should work with an AASP to locate where your issue lies.

Quicktime Does Not Support Current Display Setting...

When I have iTunes open (minimized or full screen) and lock my computer (Windows Key + L, goes to switch user screen) in Windows XP Pro SP2 I am getting the following message:
Unsupported Display
"QuickTime does not support the current Display Setting. Please change it and restart this application."
This happens on my work computer and home computer, both running Windows XP SP2 (Home and Pro). It happened in iTunes 7.0, 7.1 and now 7.2. Is this a known issue with iTunes/QuickTime, and how can it be resolved?

I don't know why everyone is having weird problems with Itunes. I switched from Yahoo! Music Jukebox about a month ago because of a few issues their. I have updated twice sense switching. I'm running the latest version 7.4.3.1 I don't want or have a ipod, but sense I sense I switched other than Missing album art & Itunes editing my library I've had 0 problems with Itunes, it plays & opens Has never froze. I spend a lot of time in the forums to try to help people with the probles with Itunes.

Default album art display setting?

Is there a way to set the default song display setting to be the full screen album artwork? I use the ipod while driving and would rather not have text on teh screen, unless I am in a position to read it, if desired. I have the latest Itunes, for Windows XP
Thank you very much

With the iPod with color display? The answer is no. When you select the larger image, after a few seconds it reverts to the "now playing" screen.
Only the newer model iPods have the ability to keep the larger artwork picture displayed until such time as the centre button is pressed again.

Can one JVM use multiple X Windows displays?

I'm probably clutching at straws here, but is it possible for one JVM to use multiple X Windows displays? Consider this, I've got multiple video cards and each card has a different X session running on it (localhost:0 and localhost:1 for example). I start up a JVM that is displaying to :0 but I also want it to be able to display windows also on :1 without having to instantiate a new JVM.
Is this at all possible and any ideas on how it might be done?

yes, this can be done. I think that you need to set the GraphicsDevice for the JFrames and JDialogs so that they appear in the right place. look at the class GraphicsEnvironment for more information.
