Drop-down list menu pasted on the screen - Windows 7

Hello

Few other coworkers recently experienced an annoying glitch in Windows 7: having access to drop down / context menus and when they chose something (say: do right click on desktop--> customize, for example) and select 'Customize' "stuck" to the screen in the exact same place it has been clicked. Now, out of nowhere, my PC (Windows 7) started having the same problem. All of our PC, some to work and my own at home, are machines performing with more than enough RAM (16 GB, Intel Core i7-2600 processor 3.40 GHz) and good GPU (mine is Geforce GTX 580 1536 MB of memory GDDR5, others may be a little older but still good for today, for game purposes).

After searching for information for a bit, I realized that it is a problem more common that I first thought, some forum discussions go until 2008 (Windows XP SP2 and SP3). Now, I also found a few solutions more or less work, a more or less temporary nature. It comes to change the resolution of the screen and then return to the original, flipping the screen upside down and some a bit more advanced:
"Start - run -"tskill dwm"or kill DWM. EXE from the Task Manager, it restarts instantly with gone menu items. "(as written on a forum thread)

Now, some people find help in one or two of these solutions, some are may not be not as lucky. For me, thread of TheDr1ver.comgave the 'response '. You go to computer (right click)--> Properties--> Advanced--> settings system settings... (running)--> uncheck "Fade out menu after clicking items on"--> OK. What this does, I think, is to reduce the "eye-candy" on the transitions of the elements on the screen or something like that. He helped my case but we're also the right click menus drop-down weird in a way that if I come up with the right button and does not move the pointer of the mouse, the menu appears as a transparent and only after I move the mouse pointer, it will become fully visible. At the moment I'm OK with that. This is better than having a drop of 'Properties' to the bottom of the element stuck on my screen.

However, what intrigues me is that this problem has persisted for many years. And there was a lot of discussion on this topic. My question is: why Microsoft did not something to solve this problem? I can't live without the eye-candy on my OS I appreciate performance over Visual tricks, but I don't have to change the settings for a lesser visually 'version' when my PC has the muscle to run it with all the eye-candy. As much as it came out of the Blue: the only thing I changed in my PC in recent weeks has been the new drivers for Geforce. And even after installing new drivers weren't graphics bugs in Windows. This glitch "menu drop-down stuck" happened without warning of any kind. The same thing happened to my co-workers. One day, you start your computer and what is happening.

I'm going to say here that answers such as "turn off Aero", 'disable all Visual effects' do not apply because they weren't a problem a few days that they were not a question every day since I bought this computer. We (and I mean many people with this parasite, annoying their death) need a good answer, a patch, something that will deal with the issue once and for all.

My rig:
Processor Intel Core i7-2600 3.40 GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
16 GB of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580, (1536 MB) GDDR5
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601)

PS Sorry if my post sounds hard towards the end, but this problem has been so persistent over the years to an official solution that does not require the Central PCs disable Visual features of the OS just to operate normally. Especially since the problem occurs randomly.

I was having the same problem recently and wonder if it's something with the GeForce drivers.

Someone having this problem (not nvidia) have another video card?

I just tried reinstalling my drivers to see if that fixes anything.

Edit: reinstalling the driver solves the problem.

The fix that worked for me:

Control Panel, system, advanced system settings.

Advanced tab, click settings in terms of Performance.

Uncheck the disappearing menu items after clicking on.

Restart the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service updates the desktop computer to remove all existing ghosts too.

  • How to restore a drop-down list menu workspace on the toolbar options from Photoshop CC?

    After I had tried "IU 200% scale" and then returned to the standard user interface, the workspace drop-down list has disappeared from the options bar. How can I restore it? (I can always exchange via the options menu under the tab of the window, the workspaces).

    Reset preferences:

    Hold down the CTRL - Shift - Alt from the cold Photoshop start.  If you get the keys to the low enough - quickly and you have to be VERY fast - it prompts you to confirm the removal of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being the default value.

  • What plan? Payment in the drop-down list contains items named the same.

    Hello.

    I run a business and I want to upgrade 1 license Adobe Muse to 1 CC of Adobe License (without Adobe Stock). Note that I do not need a solution 'team', I only need 1 person to be able to use the software. Obviously that the license allows me to use the software commercially.

    The web interface is in my mother tongue, but I'll translate the options menu as accurate as possible.

    So, if I'm going:

    "Plans and products"-> as 'Plans' are my license of Muse and below it a 'Manage Plan', I click on the button-> "change the regime".

    I am taken to a "change of-your-plan interface. Inside, I see Creative Cloud-subscription (per year), which is the license that I want. Now, here's the thing. There is a drop-down list that has 4 elements:

    • Annual plan with monthly payment. (Costs X.)
    • Annual plan with monthly payment. (Costs roughty 2 * X.)
    • Annual plan with payment in advance.
    • Annual plan with payment in advance.

    What is the difference between the first and the second element?

    The two let me use the software commercially?

    What will happen on the site that I hosted on Adobe Business Catalyst by Muse when I change my package?

    Thank you in advance.

    Any subscription you pay for can be used commercially.

    I also have a lot of trouble that you understand the differences in prices like you showed.  There is no way to determine what the differences are in two plans monthly, is - it possible one is be produced a single plan and the other being the complete plan?

  • How to define the format of a field drop-down list text align at the top of the field instead of the Center?

    I have a form with the fields of data entry simple Acrobat 11. I have, for the first time inserted drop-down lists and most of them is single-line fields. However, there are a few examples where my field must be larger to mask unwanted background. (The field will define the colur to white background are data entry, but I did not write the script for this.) When a selection is made, it appears centered in the field and I need to be aligned to the top.

    I guess I can put a script on the Format tab, in the custom format script, but I don't know enough about Javascript to run on the syntax. I guess it would be a simple line or two of code. Can anyone help?

    You have no control over this. They are always vertically centered. You can use a separate field in the drop down menu, however, and control its background. I suggest to use a read-only button.

  • Drop-down list menu nav disappears when scrolling

    Hi guys,.

    I'm pretty new to CC (my last version was MX), and like I've lost a lot of time on joomla, due back to Dreamweaver and uses a model (bought) to kickstart things, which seems to me now that estates the hang of... except for a problem I have encountered with the navigation menu dropdown horizontal.  The (temporary) link provided below - each time I fly over the 'Sports' menu, the menu drop-down appears with the selection of different sports, in below (archery, baseball, basketball etc) - but as soon as I start to move my cursor to the bottom of this list, the drop-down list together disappears completely - perform some of the selections is inaccessible.  It doesn't happen so much with the Self Help menu, which has a much shorter drop-down list selection.   I'm not sure what I can do to control it... any thoughts would be much appreciated!  http://www.mindtraining.net/dreamweaver/index5.html

    Thank you, Craig T

    I don't think that your problem is as much a thing of z-index because it's a thing of positioning.  Your subnav is too far from the parent link.  Try this:

    #nav .subNav {}

    position: absolute;

    left:-9999px; / * This erases the subnavs off the page * /.

    top: 4px;

    }

  • Count the number of drop-down list items based on the selection

    You will need to get an "account" (in the fields of totals at the bottom) of each of the values/items selected in the drop-down "ddClassification". My drop-down fields are labeled ' ddClassification.0, ddClassification.1... etc.

    Should a loop be involved? Been looking around for the answers but can't really find anything. The values in the drop-down list 'ddClassification' are 'Choose', 'Major', 'Minor', 'OBS', 'OFI '. If I could just get help on one of the "total" fields (for example perhaps the total large field) first then I could go from there. All THE HELP is APPRECIATED! Thank you!


    I have attached a screenshot and here is the link for the form: Dropbox - ASSESSMENT_NOTES.pdf
    Screenshot.png

    Yes, this requires a loop. Here's the Basic code structure, which you can use for the total key, for example:

    var total = 0;
    for (var i=0; i<=4; i++) {
        if (this.getField("ddClassification."+i).value==4) {
            total++;
        }
    }
    event.value = total;
    

    Place this code in the script to custom calculation of 'txtMajor '.

    Edit: Name of the field max adjusted from 5 to 4...

    Edit #2: Also adjusted the value of "Major" in the value of exports 4...

  • Set point problem selected in the drop-down list box that is the XML data provider

    HI - new to Flex, experienced Java dev., hoping someone can help me see the light of what should be easy but...

    I have a Flex 3 MXML application form that contains a ComboBox as follows:
    < mx:ComboBox id = "physRegion" editable = dataProvider = "{regionRequest.lastResult.region 'false'}" / > "

    The combo box is filled by the provider of data like:
    MX:HTTPService id = "regionRequest" url = "flexDAOServlet" resultFormat = "e4x" method = "POST" >
    < / mx:HTTPService >

    and the underlying XML code looks like this:
    <>region
    Northland < label > < / label >
    < value > 1 < / value >
    < / region >
    <>region
    Auckland < label > < / label >
    < value > 2 < / value >
    < / region >
    ...

    Drop-down list box loads the XML code very well. the user can select an item and the appropriate value is submitted to the server without problem. My problem is when I want to "recharge" the form with previous values.
    I can reload the text without problem fields.

    But I can't work in my ActionScript function, how to set the combo box so that it displays "Auckland" for example, the element with the value = 2. I'll be back this server id, even if I could get the XML code or label if that would help me solve this problem.

    I tried physRegion.selectedItem = "Auckland" - nope. "
    I tried physRegion.selectedItem = 2 - nope.
    I tried
    var XML = myXML:XML ("< region > < label > Auckland < /label > < value_2 > < value > < / region >");
    physRegion.selectedItem = myXML;
    and - nope.

    I know that I'm a new style user here error (and thank you for reading this far! your patience is appreciated) but I can't for the life of me see what it is. Can anyone help?

    Many thanks in advance for clues. Apart from that, I'm loving Flex.
    Kind regards

    Two things to note. The only problem with the function that has provided ChiefRocka00 is that it is based on the identifier of the data, which means your always limited to have that be the identifier of your value. Personally, I'll be back queries a lot of times where the labelFIeld and dataField aren't labels / data pairs a suggestion would be to add a third parameter and have it checked for this identifier instead of the data. The other thing to note is that it is more common to use selectedIndex instead of selectedItem. If you do not want to do something more like physRegion.selectedIndex = selectCboIndexByData ("physRegion, ' Auckland", label) by using the update function of

    public void selectCboIndexByData(theCbo,_theDataValue,_identifier:String):Number {}
    for (var i: Number = 0; i< thecbo.dataprovider.length;="">
    If (theCbo.DataProvider.getItemAt (i) [ID] == theDataValue) {}
    Return i;
    }
    }
    return 0;
    }

  • In Ver 4.0, what happened to the drop-down list of selections for the windows of the current tab?

    In previous versions of Firefox, in any tab open with multiple windows open, which is a search where you would go to a lot of different windows, there was a drop down to the right of the ' previous/next' button which would you allow to select before windows... and always the first. That's gone. It has been extremely helpful and I used frequently. Can add you it?

    You can get the menu drop-down by clicking on the previous/next buttons or now the left key pressed until the list is displayed.
