Windows Display settings

Everytime I start iTunes my screen flashes and the color quality gets reduced to 8-bit. I can change this back to 32-bit or when I exit iTunes it changes itself back. Anyone know why it does this? I have the latest version of iTunes installed and updated my video drivers.
Dell Latitude D510   Windows XP Pro   intel Pentium M 512 Ram

Just a guess here:
Right-click on the iTunes icon, hit properties, and see if 'compatibility mode/256 colors' is selected.

  • [Bug?] Windows display settings causes boolean text to overshoot

    I built a program and transferred it to a coworker to test. When he opened it, there were several visual glitches including boolean button text and multiple y axis plot issues. After several hours of troubleshooting, I realized it was because I had my graphics settings on my desktop slightly different.
    If you right click (Windows 7) on desktop -> personalize -> display, you will see an option to "Make it easier to read what's on your screen".  Default in Win 7 is 125%.  This sets LabVIEW application font to 20 instead of 15 (like 100% and 150%) do.  As a result, it changes the look of your application.
    Has this been observed before, and is there a fix?  note:  It also causes visual glitches on within LabVIEW development UI itself. If you look at the "Med (125%)" attached png, you will see that the bottom of Application Font" has been chopped off.

    Hi Bowen,
    I can't open your pics, all I get is an error 400…
    Your problem is a common one. Changing display settings in Windows has an impact on LabVIEW front panels due to changing font sizes. You have to live with it or you have to account for when designing your front panel!

  • I have Windows 7 with classic desktop display settings. My browser window is displaying in the system scheme, even though I have "Use system colors" unchecked and "Allow pages to choose their own colors..." checked.

    ''Duplicate post, continue here - [/questions/777317]''
    This is interfering with my browsing, as some text, images and links are obscured by the solid background. I could, of course, use the modern "Aero" theme but it would be much better to be able to use the display settings that I prefer.

    That's a painful example. I don't have access to Windows 8/8.1 myself, but I suspect this is by design, as I have seen other screenshots from users using high contrast dark themes that did not have background colors and images.
    Firefox 32 contains a change from this bug: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042625 Bug 1042625 - Page should be drawn in accordance with the high contrast themes]. The testing (and a comment in the patch) refers to solving a problem on Windows 7, but apparently Windows 8 also was affected.
    I don't know whether there is a workaround to tweak what is and isn't displayed in the page with a high contrast theme.

  • Display settings in System Preferences acting up

    I'm having trouble with my Display settings under System Preferences. I am not using an external monitor. My display seems to be working fine, but when I open Display settings to change resolution and colour, weird stuff happens. Basically, I cannot use this preference pane at all.
    My display is 1920x1200, but when I open the Display settings, I get two windows, one telling me that "I am about to change [something something], some applications cannot display information correctly if the screen has less than 800x600 pixels", and the other one, the usual main window, telling me that my resolution is now 640x480 (it isn't).
    If I hit OK in the extra window that pops up, my resolution changes to 640x480 or something similar, and I am unable to change back unless I reboot. Also, in the main Display settings window, it says <<< DO NOT LOCALIZE >>> under the list of available resolutions, as well as << do not localize >> in the box where I can change refresh rate. None of the buttons seem to be working.
    Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? This was working just fine when I received my new MacBook Pro a few days ago, but now it's not. I've been repairing disk permissions and rebooting, etc.
    I have been installing the trial version of Adobe CS5, but had massive problems with this installation (as a lot of people are reporting with CS5 and Snow Leopard...) and uninstalled them again, cleaning out Adobe preference files. Could I have deleted some other important files by accident in this process?

    Quit System Preferences, then delete these files or folders.
    Users/yourname/Library/Preferences /com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/By Host/com.apple.systempreferences.xxxxx.plist and com.apple.PrefPane.Network.xxxxx.plist (the X's will be numbers)
    Also, Users/Home/Library/Caches
    Now relaunch System Preferences. Let us know.

  • HT5219 how do i get my macbook pro 13" retina to keep its display settings the same when I unplug it from my thunderbolt 27" display?

    I have just bought a macbook pro 13" with retina display and a 27" thunderbolt display to go with it.
    I plug in the display, set it all up to the look and format that I want to use (same for both displays, I am using the mirroring feature), and then when I unplug the macbook from the 27" display it's settings revert and I can't see half my windows as they fall off the edge of the smaller macbook screen.
    Is there a way to make the macbook keep the same display settings, even when I unplug it from the 27" display?

    Not that I know of... but if someone comes along with a method, I would certainly be interested...

  • Odd desktop/display bug - how to reset user display settings?

    Greetings all,
    I woke up yesterday morning to a puzzling problem with my G5. I logged in and started working - and I needed to use the windows remote desktop client to shell into a machine at work. I noticed that the fonts looked sort of funny (randomly quished) so I logged out and then back in. Then I noticed that the problem was not in the RDC display, but in the display of my mac.
    This is sort of hard to describe w/out actually seeing it, but here goes...
    When I move my mouse across the desktop (or what ever apps I have open) and the mouse pointer moves across and invisible (yet perceptible) line on my screen real estate, my background, icons, parts of displayed apps and fonts "shift". This causes fonts in the affected are to get messed up and causes general display irritation. That's the best way I can describe it, it's sort of a "you have to see it" problem. I will also note that this problem did not arise after an update or a software install or weird crash. Just another day.
    So first I tried messing with my display settings (change resolution, color profiles, setting the background to a solid color, turning off screen saver). Rebooting. Nothing. Still there.
    So next I log into another account (the root account). Ah ha! No display problems! Tried creating another user-level account. No problems there either. Now we're getting somewhere - it's something that is effecting my main user account and not a problem with my monitor, video card or OS. That's good.
    So since then I've tried:
    - Grooming the disc that my home directory lives on with DiskWarrior.
    - Repaired permissions.
    - Deleting the contents of home/Library/Fonts in case it's some funky font rendering issue causing this.
    - Deleted the contents of home/Library/Preferences/MicroSoft to get any of its potential badness out of my life.
    - Scanning with FontDoctor looking for bad fonts.
    - Deleted my desktop and finder plist files.
    - General maintenance and cache cleaning (including the MS font cache) with Onyx.
    - Booting to Safe Mode.
    Nothing. The display problem persists afflicting that one user account. All other accounts (root, and a second user-level account residing on the same disc) are free of these problems even though they are all using the same display settings (monitor, resolution, color profiles, etc). And as already noted, this problem was not "brought on" by anything like an update, installation, preferences modification or fatal seeming crash of an app.
    So, my question to all you good people is: what am I missing, what might be causing this and what else can be scrubbed from that account (cache, plist files, etc etc) that might be harboring and causing this display bug? I would really rather solve this problem than go through the very very arduous task of moving all of my stuff to another account (an option, but a very unattractive one).
    I was not a mac user during the OS 9 days, but I remember my co-workers doing the "rebuilding the desktop" dance. I realize that this is no longer an issue, but I guess I'm looking for something like that. I need to remove any and everything from my user account that has anything to do with display and font rendering since it's obviously some setting lurking in that account causing the issue.
    I googled and searched the forums for this yesterday but could not come up with anything like it and all of the maintenance tasks I tried have not worked.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Monte
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi.
    What kind of G5 do you have? An iMac or a PowerMac?
    A PowerMac.
    If you own a PowerMac, you'd better take a look (o
    try with another one) at the DVI cable connecting the
    display.
    I did check my connections, but also, why would a faulty DVI cable only cause problems with a single user account and none of the others?
    If you want to reset the display settings, start in
    Safe Mode, and trash these files:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist
    /Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.a
    pple.windowserver.some_number.plist
    If I were at home now, I would try and report back. But I'm not. I'll definitely give it a try as soon as I can. Thanks for the pointer!
    Cheers,

  • Folder Display Settings Not Saving

    Searched forums with no luck, anyone run into this problem?
    I have a user who likes to set up folders in his GroupWise 2012 client (on Windows XP) to show To and From columns as the first two columns in his folder view. When he changes a folder and saves the changes in the Properties/Display/Custom Settings, everything looks fine. The next day when he gets into his client and goes to the folder he changed, the changes (adding the To/From columns) are gone. The really strange thing is they are only gone "most of the time", at other times the changes stick and do not have to be redone. User has found nothing consistent about why changes are sometimes forgotten and other times remembered.
    Thanks ahead for any ideas.

    When saving the changes, instead of taking the default name of <Folder
    Custom Settings> try changing the name to something like <Folder Custom
    Settings2>. While I haven't seen this with the 2012 client, I have
    seen it with GW8 and earlier and usually saving the display settings
    with a different name would get the changes to "stick."
    Also if this is just the 2012 client and not 2012 SP1, you could try
    upgrading to the SP1 client.

  • Use GPO to set default language options, IME, display settings?

    Hi lilyl,
    According to your description, you would like to deploy some settings about language and display via GPO.
    According to my knowledge, the steps you provided are from Windows 8 clients. Based on my test, you can use the following methods to realize:
    Add Traditional Chinese HK SAR. Locate the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload, and then add a String Value "next number"(which has not been used)=00000404.
    The region settings. Please refer to the similar post:

    The display settings. The post you provided tells us the related registry keys, and you should try to find the right value since you want to custom it.

  • Can't Click Flash Display Settings on Mac

    Hello All,
    I need to Disable Hardware Acceleration in the Display Settings Dialog.  I right click, choose settings, but I cannot click anything.  Any Ideas?
    I have checked out the the thread on "Unable to click in flash player settings box" but nothing worked for me.   I tried a uninstall then reinstall and still
    nothing.  I can tab through the settings box but cannot uncheck check boxes.
    Please help
    thanks

    On Windows this situation can usually be corrected by deleting the 'Flash Player' folders in %APPDATA%\Adobe and %APPDATA%\Macromedia.  I have no idea where these settings are kept on a Mac; someone posted that location a while ago, but I can't find that topic now (something "Library").
    Just did another search and found it: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3232099#3232099

  • My laptop meets minimum display resolution for Lightroom 5 but bottom of windows display off-screen

    I installed Lightroom 5.3 on my older Lenovo laptop with 1280x768 native screen resolution.  When I open Lightroom and try to set up preferences, the lower part of the preferences window is displayed off the bottom of the screen and I am unable to move it up to make changes.  The same thing happened when it asked me to download the update to 5.5; I could not get to the bottom of the window to say yes.
    The Lightroom 5 specs say the minimum display resolution required to use Lightroom 5 is 1024 x 768 display.  My laptop exceeds that.
    I am using Windows 7 64bit and LR 5 64bit.
    Any ideas or suggestions?
    Don

    Any chance you have set display scaling to Larger - 150% in Windows 7 display settings?  It is possible that that is affecting the display size of LR.

  • Permanent Crash related to changing display settings while FCP is open.

    Recently, the display settings (arrangement) on my two monitors started changing by itself while I was working in FCP 6.5. I'm using ancient monitors (Viewsonic MB90 and Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 920. I just don't have the money to upgrade right now). Tis was annoying but I dealt with the problem by creating two different windows layouts. Then things got worse (the only thing I had done was install 8 gigs of additional memory on top of the original 2). FCP started crashing and now I can't even open the application. It doesn't react.
    Apple recently posted a not very informative acknowledgement of the problem with changing display settings while FCP is open, but it doesn't suggest solutions to my problem. It would be helpful to know a) what resolution and refresh rates are best for these old monitors and b)how to open FCP again. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    THIS IS IT!
    Disabling the nVidia deep colors for 3d applications solved the uber-annoying "flicker-screen-settings-and-disrupt/crash-other-programs" issue. I specifically only disabled deep colors for Premiere, not for all 3d applications I use, because none of them have caused the same problem as Premiere.
    This display-screen setting issue probably occurred because I use a Dell u3011 monitor which displays Adobe RGB color gamut, not just sRGB.
    However, now this brings up another question with disabling deep colors (effectively disabling the Adobe RGB use of the Dell monitor):
    QUESTION: If I have CG-rendered frames that seem to be created in sRGB and Adobe RGB (in two different programs), what color space should I be mixing/editing them in?
    I'm somewhat of a novice with the color spectrum/gamut issue. From what I understand, if I edit both CG images in sRGB, I'll be losing color data from the Adobe RGB-created CG image. If I edit both CG images in Adobe RGB, will I create minor banding effects on the sRGB image because it doesn't have the color range that I'm editing in? Perhaps my question is more relevant to AfterEffects compositing of the images rather than simply/only editing them in Premiere.
    The end result is something like an architectural film/ flythrough.
    Thanks,

  • VmWare Display settings for guest OS Win7 Pro and others not saving

    Mid-2014 MBP 15" with Retina, Intel iris Pro, 16GB, 512SSD.  Running vmWare 7.1.2 on Yosemite 10.1.2:
    - Win7 Pro VM setup with 8GB, 2 'cores', 128GB SSD.
    - the Display settings for the Win7 Pro guest won't persist when switching to and from Mac desktop
    - Doesn't matter if Full Screen or in Window, it defaults to 1140 x 900 or something like that, and will not keep settings made after Full Screen is selected
    - Having done some research before coming here: I have uninstalled and re-installed vmTools. I have tried it with 'Use Full Retina Display' setting in vmWare guest settings, doesn't make a difference other than the default size is either the maximum Retina resolution for the Win7 Pro desktop or the 1440x900 default when the 'Use Retina..' setting is set.
    - Apparently this is an Apple bug with Retina MBP and not vmWare, according to vmWare.  ;}
    Thought, suggestions, other?
    Thanks folks!
    -=-Dennis

    Now having worked with VMware support.  Here's the fix for anyone experiencing this problem on a rMBP with Fusion 7.x and running Win7Pro or others as guests, that are not retaining the display settings when either rebooting the guest, pausing the guest or switching between the Mac desktop and the GuestOS desktop.
    1. Find a file named WMwareResolutionSet it can be located under ProgramFiles or ProgramFile(x86)-->VMware-->VMware Tools-->
    2. Move, do not copy, this file out of this directory, onto your Desktop
    3. Restart the Guest
    4. Whatever resolution settings you have set, should now be retained
    This assumes you have already UN-checked 'Use Full Resolution..' Retina display checkbox in VMware Settings-->Display.
