A tiny fly/ant/bug is on all fours on my screen

Last night I suddenly discovered a small bug crawling around my screen. I initially tried to brush, but it turns out to be virtual - although he moved to life as I could see it pixelates when its turns. And whenever he hit a curb or a chassis to an active program window, he'd turn.

I tried to take screenshots of it using CMD + SHIFT + 4 - but it did not appear on the shots.

Facts:

He settled on the entire screen, without this there limited a specific program window.

Installed Little Snitch to get traffic suspicious network - was not found.

Did a full scan with Sophos Antivirus - nothing found.

After about 10 minutes, the little guy is gone.

I've never seen before or since (only happened yesterday)

MacBook Pro, El Capitan v.10.11.5 running

What you describe, it seems that it was a real bug and not virtual. I have smaller like this a few times. They are able to travel all over the screen, virtual while would probably be limited to a single window. The insect has escaped or been electrocuted to death.

  • CP1700 - fault - attn: replace all four cartridges!

    Hello world

    My printer has served me VERY well for years. I have original cartridges (all the use by date), and all test ok print heads

    The printer just reported all four cartridges need to be replaced

    Clearly, something else has all broken, or obtained the dough...

    The clues of what I might try?

    THANKS in advance

    Kevin

    FIXED

    I suspect that the battery is down below the fully functional voltage - its an old printer!

    DIFFICULTY = completely remove the internal battery of the watch-like (large)

    For photos of similar printer/battery: http://www.land.netonecom.net/tlp/ref/letters/hpPrinters.php

    Here's what to do to remove the battery

    Lift the cover, look on the left side (side opposite to the print head and cartridge areas), it is just visible towards the rear. I could not quite put to work (safely) so decided to go back, as follows:

    Battery REMOVAL PROCEDURE = from the back of the printer remove the rear feeder by pressing the two big buttons and lifting of the body of the printer. Then remove the dark grey cover on the right (where all cable connectors crossed) by removing the two screws Torx of T-20, one on top and the other under the magazine platform, that you just removed. Drag the grey cover will cost about an inch and then it goes out completely. Under this cover, you will see a vertically mounted metal plate that has three screws Torx T10 you will need to remove. Once you did, wriggle and tip that plate (slightly) outside (be careful not to dislodge cables or connectors), just enough to see the battery. With a small screwdriver, taken the battery under his arm. THROW IT OUT. Look like upside down!

    My printer is now fully functional again - although currently, he grunts more than it used too - I think I dislodged some dirt/dust - anyway, it looks like it will continue to serve me well for a little longer

    I hope this helps someone

  • 11 "Green Media" Bug - first elements all help?

    Hey everyone, I am having trouble with the first elements 11. Whenever I have add data to this project, he bugs and the entire video becomes green.

    The video itself is not the problem, as I have tried with other videos. This just started to happen, it was fine before. I use Windows 10. I tried to restart the program to see if it would be fixed, but not luck. Any help would be appreciated.Adobe Premiere Elements 11 8_17_2015 5_28_53 PM.png

    Thanks for the follow up with important details of troubleshooting.

    NVIDIA Shadow Play catches have had problems in the past with Premiere Elements. I realize you are facing at a before and after the situation. But I suspect that this is independent of the operating system and version of Premiere Elements. But the answer will be in the details.

    The following link refers to an audio problem with NVIDIA Shadow Play video and Premiere Elements.

    Audio recordings of Nvidia Shadowplay is asynchronous to the video in first 12 items! How can I solve this problem?

    Think about download and install handbrake to get the H.264.mp4 @ version rate constant frame and then import this file in first 11 elements. Is the missing issue or?

    Premiere Elements does not do well with the video recorded with a variable rate. The symptoms are out of sync audio to not be able to import the file at all.

    Please confirm... are the current green imports into Premiere Elements of today project the same real files who worked before the 10th of Windows?

    Please consider the above.

    Thank you.

  • Bug: iOS 10, Siri invades even lock screen with power off

    iOS 10, Siri invades even lock screen with power off

    Since the upgrade to iOS 10 (iPhone 5 s) siri appears when I forgetting to unlock my phone because I'm not used to this way to unlock yet. But siri on lock screen is disabled in the settings. I can close siri all together, but I don't consider it as an option.

    Is this a bug in the iOS 10 or did I miss something?

    Hello nick_ve,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that since you have upgraded to iOS 10, Siri starts each time you try to unlock your iPhone and Siri on the lock screen is disabled in the settings. I completely understand, because when I upgraded, it took me a few tries to get adjusted to unlock with the Home key. I'm more than happy to help you with this.

    Press the Home button on your iPhone 5s once unlocks the screen, and freezes for more than one second will activate Siri. It is good to keep this in mind when you unlock your iPhone.

    There is also an alternative solution I would like to share with you. You can disable this option in settings > general > accessibility > Home button. Turn the finger remains open. You can unlock the iPhone with Touch ID without having to press the Home button.

    Have a wonderful day!

  • All new computer, blue screen of death/accident

    My boyfriend and I bought a new computer 3 weeks ago, it was an e-machine. Kept crashing, got the blue screen of death error. Back to Best Buy for a new computer. Compaq Presario. Has taken a House. The same problem. Returned to Best Buy and exchanged for a new one, exact model. Exactly the same problem. Problem occurs when it is on Facebook, play games or even a game installed on the computer.

    I came to the conclusion after hours of research that the problem is Windows 7.  It is a brand new computer that I paid a lot of hard earned money for. It should not keep breaking without reason.  Was on the phone with HP tech support for over an hour, that still does not solve the problem.

    I don't know much about computers and what information you need, so I'll just tell you what's on the box. Let me know if you need more information.

    It is a Compaq Presario CQ5320Y PC with a processor dual-core AMD Athlon II X 2 240 Dual-core processor, 3 GB, 500 GB HDD, Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE graphics card.

    When it crashes it said space disk or something on a pilot. Launch of Nvidia and the updated graphics driver, it wouldn't let me update the driver for the card mother, says that there is a problem of incompatibiltiy.

    Here is the error message we continue to do.

    Signature of the problem:

    Problem event name: BlueScreen

    OS version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3

    Locale ID: 1033

    More information about the problem:

    OS version: 6_1_7600

    Service Pack: 0_0

    Product: 768_1

    Files helping to describe the problem:

    C:\Windows\Minidump\061910-15693-01.dmp

    C:\Users\lance\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-27830-0.SysData.XML

    I've always hated apples but I'm seriously thinking about getting one until Windows can recover, if that's even possible.

    As happens with more than one system, it probably isn't a Windows problem and not likely to be a hardware problem.  Looks like it's maybe a driver issue, but without more details, it will be difficult to know.  Add nothing to the system (software, hardware, etc.) after he unboxing and problems?  If you care about that resolve at all - and I don't really think, you should because you get the behavior with new systems (use the warranty and keep complaining the problem if it keeps recurring; get your money back if it is an option, and choose another brand of system.) Keep in mind that you've got a failed system [or the entire model is a dud!] and this should not reflect on Windows 7)-start by downloading the vacuum as described below.

    Start here:   you can download the c:\windows\minidump content to your SkyDrive and provide a link?

    To treat blue screens, following general tips:

    Consider running chkdsk on all partitions.  Leave complete chkdsk on each partition and see if that helps.

    Also consider running SFC/scannow.

    Other common suggestions include ensuring drivers are up to date (including video drivers), but also to ensure that you use the latest version of the BIOS.

    Consider the memory with memtest86 or Windows Memory Diagnostic test. Note that memory that passes the test is not necessarily good - he just failed a test.  Examine systematically to eliminate the system RAM - run with a few modules for awhile and see how things are going. Then try the other modules.

    If you start in safe mode, do you still feel bugs? What if you do a clean boot, or boot device?

    It may be useful to use the driver verifier.  To activate the... Driver Verifier start-> verifier.exe-> OK-> create standard settings - > then-> the names of the drivers select in a list-> next-> sort by provider-> select all non-Microsoft drivers-> finish and OK your way out of the dialog box.

    Then restart and use the system as you normally and wait for a problem.  In case the system does not completely start after activation of the Verifier, boot mode safe and run driver verifier and tell him to remove the changes.

    Wait for an error checking to happen after you have enabled the auditor as described and then transfer it to your SkyDriveand provide a link.

  • Pavilion MS225: all on one black screen help

    Hi, from Thursday morning, I noticed a light flickering on the screen on and off during the day, then that night, the screen went black all of a sudden, I could put in sleep mode and wake him up, things went very well after that.  I turned it off for the night and kept overnight get this screen black (I could barely see the bottom of screen and icons) but I was able to see my login page for a few seconds when wake-up mode 'sleep'.

    I went to updates and saw that the Realtek High Definition Audio Driver need updated, so I tried and failed so he can install from Windows. I could see the screen enough to get on the industrial site and uninstall and reinstall. I reinstalled graphic discs too. Now, it seems to work very well, not black screen or flashing for about 5 hours now since the update the Realtek device. I was wondering if that was the question all along, is that this driver not getting updated cause screen problems? I also installed AMD Catalyst Install Manager and it updated the drivers.

    Honestly, I don't know much about computers and it is the only one I also gives access, any help would be appricated! Thank you

    Hi there @slyn1234,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!  It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, HP experts and other support staff.  I understand that your computer screen went black, and after updating the driver it works again.  I'm happy to help you with this.

    In response to your question, as to whether that was the problem, I'll give you a qualified Yes. It may be that the driver has been updated but that something has happened to the existing driver, the file has been corrupted, or another program or driver was installed that are in conflict. Another option is that a setting has been changed somewhere; There are several possibilities.

    If this kind of thing happens again, see if you can boot your system with the help of computers HP - safe mode of Windows 7. Windows safe mode will load with the base drivers and is a way to access your system, if it seems that there is a software problem. Can be modified in Mode safe as parameters to display, or drivers, or uninstalled applications that may not be easy to dismantle a normal start.

    Another useful to look at document is: HP PC - computer won't start (Windows 7). I hope this helps.

    Please let me know if it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.
