  • Second the mouse pointer to the center of the screen of Windows 8 (office and metro) - Sony VaioT Ultrabook

    After a few updates MSFT uncontrolled or without reason, the boot of Win8 poster now the gray circle or circle with the mouse pointer in the Center on the login screen of the touch screen. Try moving the pointer with touchpad shows second pointer, and the original remains flashing in the Center. By connecting to the Metro interface, the cursor of the Center remains in the Center, and it is possible to move subway tiles by dragging the screen.

    When you go to the office, the pointer to the Center rest sometimes, sometimes disappears; When there, open and close the Task Manager without doing anything he removes the unwanted pointer. When removing the additional pointer in the Center, office does not respond to tap and double tap. and does not show the rectangle of the area of selection, as he usually did. However, the touch screen digitizer apparently works as the key, and touch multi-touch show shadows in the points of contact. It also allows to scroll the text in the browsers to slide the touch screen. But the zoom and the valves do not work.
    I also noticed that a few seconds after that the Office will appear on the screen, the touchscreen works as he used before (look and work area selection), but they stop working after 3-4 seconds and you can only take account of the points of contact and scroll the text in browsers (no resizing)...
    Device Manager displays the digitizer as 'USB input device' USB\VID_04F3 & PID_0018; It is impossible to find the name of the vendor or update the driver. The device also creates objects of device HID four children. The digitizer can be stopped and restarted from the Device Manager; upon restart, the Center pointer appears again, or a white square is displayed. Touch the place goes the arrow-shaped pointer in the gray circle of key indicator in the center of the screen. Open and close the Task Manager remove the pointer from the Center.
    Sometimes, when you move a pointer 'true' with the touchpad as the arrow in the Center pointer is replaced by a helping hand or cheek two arrows.
    It seems that there is an application or a service that loads with office and seizes 'touch down' messages, do not let them be served by gui. However, I don't find anything unusual in starting programs or services; Virus scan shows that the machine is clean.
    I thought it might be a ClassicShell likely to interfere, but removing it does not change the behavior. Neither the removal of all the utilities of the startup list startup.
    It is a software problem, suggestions, which could bring him or how to find the root cause of the problem are appreciated.
    I saw a similar description of the behavior on the forums of Sony, but there was no resolution.

    FIXED! My laptop had this problem from day one.  I found a thread where some people had fixed it by going into the properties of the mouse and two enabling paths (shortest path setting was OK and barely perceptible) or by changing the standard display cursor to enlarged (or black).  But this does NOT work for me.  Here's what worked completely:

    I turned off the touch screen.  Who needs him--it was a stupid idea of Windows 8, in any case, and the compromise to solve this question "cursor ghost" was worth WAY.

    Go to Device Manager.  Under Interface devices, there are 2 lines for input USB device.  (If there is more, temporarily disconnect the receiver wireless mouse or another USB input device).  Disable the first, one in right-clicked on it and selecting Disable.  And the problem is GONE!  I hope this helps.

    Maybe the screen had a defect that makes act like an invisible finger relying on, or more likely, it's a Windows 8 bug affecting some machines.  In any case, it's a huge relief to see it fixed, because the cell phone was horrible, when this happened.  Good luck!

  • How to make the icons of programs appears on the screen of windows 8

    Hi Thunderlight, you helped me with my last request and thank you again now I have another question that you might be able to help me with.  How to make the icons of programs appears on my screen of windows 8?  I had to download the debut8 when I had windows 8 so I would have the appearance of windows 7 until I have to use Windows 8.  And some of my icons of windows 7 on my windows 8, but not all.  How to go on my windows screen 8 tiles?   I now get more usage of windows 8 and use it more now so would like all my original programs that I had with windows 7 on my windows 8 as it is now tile.  I thank you and hope you can help.

    Hi Laura,

    In theory, when you switch from an earlier version of Windows to Windows 8 - as your installed applications are kept by the upgrade process, except those who are not compatible - you should find all your apps in Windows 8.

    If they all do not appear on your start screen follow these steps to pin them there:

    • [Win] + C
    • Search
    • Click anywhere in the top middle of the screen to hide the charm bar

    All installed applications are displayed. They do not necessarily correspond on a single screen to use the horizontal "lift" to bottom of the screen to move to the right / left

    • Right-click on an application, you want to pin to the start screen
    • Click on Pin to Start at the bottom left of the screen

    You are finished. A mosaic of this application is available on the start screen.

    If there is an application, you are sure is installed on your PC and you don't think through the steps made me know - there will be more complex...

    If you install a new application under Windows 8 the corresponding tile is automatically added to your start screen.

    Hope this helps

    See you soon

  • Best way to small icons anywhere in the screen.

    Hello

    I am doing for my application kinda like a panel where the user will have a JPG image which will be a map in the background and on top of that I need to have small images or icons that will be nodes of a network and nodes will have attributes that will determine the position of the screen to fit the map below.

    Each node must also be able to click on it to open a window that contains the data of this node.

    I'm new to Java and I don't know which is the best way to do it in Java. Can someone point me to the right direction?

    I thought to use icons or maybe buttons with the image of knot on top. But I don't know if this is the best approach.

    Thank you.

    Most likely, you'll want to extend JButton or an icon to add the attributes, and then add an action listener so he can open a new window and display these attributes.

    class NodeButton extends JButton{
        private Map attributes;
        int xPos;
        int yPos;
        String title;
    
        public NodeButton(int x, int y, String inTitle, Map inAttributes) {
            title = inTitle;
            xPos = x;
            yPos = y;
            attributes = inAttributes;
        }
    
    }
    

    Can do something like this to create a new node

    Map attributes = new HashMap();
    //populate your attribute map
    NodeButton nodeButton = new NodeButton(100, 200, "My Node", attributes);
    nodeButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    
                   @Override
                   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
                                //display your new JFrame in here
                   }
              });

    Hello

    The most common reason for this behavior is that the system has had a second monitor attached in the past and it is is no longer connected to the computer.

    Right click on the desktop, and then select the Screen Resolution.

    You see a "multiple monitors" section just below the screen orientation button?

    If you do, first of all, click on the set button, in the upper-right of the window. You should see a big number "1" appears on the screen.

    Then, click the drop-down menu expand these screens .

    Click on the item in Office show that on 1 .

    Click Apply/OK.

    Close this window and try to reproduce the problem.

    Let us know the results.

    Thank you for using Windows 7

  • I don't know how to change the size and quality of the text on the screen on Windows 7

    I just installed a new Windows 7 but I don't know how to change the size and quality of the text on the screen.  I tried all the things normal, resolution, size of icons, dpi etc but nothing gives me what I want.  The text in clear 'wonderful' thing is just terrible.  When I go through the 4 steps I see no text boxes which make the text nothing better.  All options are terrible, so the result on screen is too terrible.  When I do any huge I do not get a full screen of things - view the Start button disappears or I did not closing small cross at the top - of the suggestions to inprove the situation?  I must mention that my screen/monitor is 2006 - I need to buy a new one?  How much is this Windows 7 is going to cost me, or maybe I should go back to XP!

    I sincerely thank all you smart "technicians" for all the answers you always gave myself and all others who ask questions.  I'm not too smart with all this new technology as I fell into it very late.  I am now in my 60s and only started using a pc when I was over 50 years so...  In any case, I asked a question about the size of screen resolution and text and received much good advice from all that you guys.  I had recently changed in XP to Windows 7.  However, the bit of advice that I was given in 'Cyberking' here at the Portugal had set the resolution of the screen, the advanced settings, 75 to 60 Hertz Monitor tab.  Very basic, and the first question asked the technician (Lady) was "what size is your screen?  Naturally as a smaller screen that any 'techno' would be considered dead aid, solving the problem was simple and straightforward without me having to stretch my knowledge and my skills by downloading all programes weird (to me) or do the funny stuff in the bios or something else.  I send this comment to you for you to realize that the simple solution is not always bad and maybe we should go for the easiest first and then work up to the more difficult ones.

    Just for you all to see - now my screen resolution is perfect, the text on the screen is clear and legible without difficulty, even though the size of text and icon is small.  Clarity is all!

    Thank you all once again!   Best regards, Blondie blue.

  • How can I place window borders above the upper part of the screen in Windows 7 Home Premium?

    I've done this before, but I can't remember how: I would like to be able to resize/place a window outside the limits defined by default in Windows 7. I remember finding a setting somewhere that allowed me to do, but I can not find / remember the location of this setting now.

    The top of the screen is the highest that any window can be placed. That's what I'm trying to change a few settings in the control panel. If I want to do a big window, like a game with high resolution, I might want to hide the title bar of the window so that I can make the game a lot like full screen possible without temporarily lose access to the taskbar and other windows. In my case, I Alt + tab, but which is not the best answer. If anyone can help me find this setting?

    Thank you!

    Hey! I can help you. :) Go to the desktop and right click. Then click on customize. Click windows color. Down, you should see a person who says the advanced Windows settings. Click another box appears. It should be a drop-down list where it gives you a list as icon, scrollbar, active window border etc., click the border of the active windows. Then use the arrows to the right to adjust the size. Then click on apply. :) I hope this helps!

  • Cannot move a toolbar to the right of the screen in Windows 7

    I added a toolbar on the Windows taskbar.

    Now I want to anchor it to the right of the screen, outside of the windows taskbar. I want to spend just the new toolbar, not all Windows taskbar.

    When I left click and hold the button on the new toolbar, I get the icon cross saying I can drag, but when I try to drag out of the Windows task bar, the icon disappears and the toolbar remains inside the Windows task bar.

    Any ideas how?

  • Notification of Firefox at the bottom right of the screen freezes Windows 7

    It seems that recently, Firefox (and maybe pop up notifications) are freezing my computer Windows 7. I used Firefox for years without this problem. In recent weeks, I noticed that system freeze seems to happen when a Firefox pop-up notification appears at the bottom right of the screen (for example Firefox 38.0.5 is available...). The mouse will continue moving the cursor on the screen for a few seconds, then that freezes at. I get no response from the keyboard, even CTRL-ALT-DEL and start button / stop fail to restart the machine. I need to remove and replace the power cord.

    Hoping that Mozilla has solved the problem I updated today to 39.0 Firefox, but when a plugin of Firefox browser introduced a notification in the lower right corner of the system froze again. I don't have this problem of gel when Mozilla Thunderbird shows a notification in the bottom right of the screen (e.g. XXXXXX received 6 new messages).

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

    • Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.

    You will need to close and restart Firefox after enabling/disabling this setting.

    You can check if there is an update for your display driver graphic card and search for hardware acceleration of related issues.
