Small box remains on the screen in Preferences.

Whenever I open then close preferences, a small box is standing in the corner. How can I get rid of this without having to reboot?

I understand the frustration and apologize for any inconvenience this issue caused.

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

Then perform the following steps:

  • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
  • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
  • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
  • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • Shadows dialog box remains on the screen

    Since the update to 2014 CC, I have shadows of dialog, the settings and the radio buttons on my screen.  It is only from products Adobe CC 2014. Older Illustrator and other windows programs do not. Anyone know how to get rid of these? I closed the program, I restarted the programs, I moved other Windows I closed everything about adobe in the Task Manager. So far they only go away on a restart.

    I have upgraded my Windows 8.1 computer and now I have not received this bug.

    .. .all dialog box appears on screen is covered in "' so I can't put passwords or addresses of sites and if the sound is on a morse codes like noise appears with the comma...

    The character you are evidence is a single quotation mark or tick rather than a comma, but the character you see in reality is probably an asterisk in a mask the password text box. In both cases, the problem remains the same.

    You have a key stuck on your keyboard which instantly fills any box entry with the typed characters, they are ticks or asterisks. The only audible ringer is a normal computer error indicating that the keyboard buffer is full, but entry continues, once again an indication of a stuck keyboard key.

    Try another keyboard. It may be possible to launch a key by a sharp tap, but the problem will probably persist in the future. I hope that you don't talk about your laptop.

  • White rectangle remains on the screen when you use the ActiveX icon

    Hi,

    I am using AW5.2 and I have a problem with erasing an ActiveX Icon.
    I embedded windows media player and when I want to erase my ActiveX icon, a white rectangle remains on the screen.

    I have tried moving it off the presentation window then erase or unload but that does not work.

    I have also tried just using:
    EraseIcon(@"WMP")
    Unload(@"WMP")

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Dean

    Check the display mode of the element behind the activex control. Try to set the mode of this opaque object and see if the box appears again properly. Also, make sure the location you place this element when you try to move it out of the screen. Move to a place where their left of at least one pixel of it on the screen.

    HTH,

  • My Windows 7 desktop icons will be a small box around them, the box is white and has perforated lines. Not a big deal, all simply boring.

    My Windows 7 desktop icons will be a small box around them, the box is white and has perforated lines.  Not a big deal, all simply boring.  It is usually around the last icon I used.  But sometimes randomly will appear around, most frequently the trash.

    Have you tried to go to customize and change your theme?  Maybe redefine things will help the issue.  You can also try re - install (or looking for a newer version of) your graphics card driver.  You can normally find this by going to the manufacturer of your computer site, click Help, and then by entering your model number.

    A few guesses.  Weird problem!

  • File copy/delete dialog box is off the screen in a staggered multiple follow Setup

    I'm on Windows 8 on a ThinkPad W520 with a 1920 x 1080 screen and a secondary antibody NEC LCD2070NX 1600 x 1200 display connected via DisplayPort. The NEC is positioned to the left of the ThinkPad and raised higher than the ThinkPad display; the bottom of the NEC is near the center of the left edge of the ThinkPad.
    I put to the top of the poster in the Panel to take account of this arrangement:
    If I have a window of the Explorer of files open in the secondary monitor on the left and use this window to copy or remove some large files or folders, the progress dialog box is not visible. It is currently displayed in the "man no of land" above the main monitor and the secondary screen.
    The problem occurs when the secondary monitor is on the right, or above or below the primary. (I have tested some of these cases, but not completely). Also, this does not happen when the Explorer window is on the primary monitor. The problem does occur at all on Windows 7.
    Here's a film that illustrates the problem. For each image, I copied a large directory on the network and took a screenshot to display side by side and move the secondary display up to about 120 pixels in the control panel every time. You can see how the copy dialog box follows the secondary monitor vertically, but her left side is pinned to the left edge of the main screen, so he ends up disappearing from the screen.
    It is easy to see what is happening here: Explorer normally centers the dialog box of progression on the same screen as the Explorer window that opened the dialog box. This does not work as expected in the direction, but on the axis X to the left edge of the dialog box's get pinned to the left edge of the main screen.
    As the corner at the top left of the primary monitor is always (0,0), it acts as if the dialog box was positioned like this pseudo-code:
    monitor = getWindowMonitor (feed)
    dialog.centerOnMonitor (monitor)
    If dialog.left< 0:="">
    Dialog.Left = 0
    When the dialog box is off the screen, it's a bit disturbing, because it makes the impression that the Explorer window is locked. The only way I know to make visible the dialog box is with this exercise of the superpowers of keyboard shortcut:
    1. use Alt + space to open the system menu of the dialog box. The menu will open on the screen no matter where is the dialog box.
    2. Press m to move (or click on move).
    3. you will see a four-headed mouse cursor, just to fool you into thinking the mouse could do something now. It will not!
    4 instead of this, you have to hit any key of the arrow, which begins the displacement of the dialog box.
    5. now you can use the mouse (or the puree on the arrow keys) to move the dialog on the screen.

    A bit of good news...

    I just tested this on the latest version of Windows preview 10 technical, and it seems to be fixed.

  • Dialog boxes appear off the screen

    Hello, I have problems with dialog boxes in Illustrator CS6.

    Dialog boxes are appearing in various different locations rather than a central location on the screen...

    For example: the Save dialog box appears half off the screen towards the lower right section of the screen. Various other boxes appear at the top left, top right. All dialogs are mobile, so I can reposition in the Middle, but the next time I used appear where they were not at the Center.

    I work on both a 13 "macook pro separately and with and 27" apple screen attached. Dialog boxes are visiable on 27 "screen, but often in odd places.

    Is there a way I can reset their position?

    I tried reseting all the dialogues, trashed the preferences in the preferences in the folder of the library on the computer but no luck. I'm puzzled.

    Any help would be appreciated...

    Thank you

    nosbornf,

    It is important that Illy is closed when you reset the preferences.

    Try the following (you may have tried / some of them already) and see if it helps:

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer;

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift at startup.

    4) move the folder with Illy closed;

    (5) browse and try the relevant among other options;

    Even worse, you can (if all else fails and no best answer appears):

    (6) uninstall, run the cleanup tool and reinstall.

  • Small white spots on the screen (no pixels dead) of RMB

    This week, when I opened my MacBook on the screen, I saw on the white spots screen 12 ". At first, I thought maybe would it be a beat on the screen but a quick wipe down and a thorough inspection of different angles confirmed that it was something else. I closed and turned back RMB. The small bright white spots were persistent, although only perceptible in the middle of a dark background, or when the Sun is reflected on the screen.

    Everyone has the same problem or knows what is the best solution for this problem? I don't have a case at Apple yet, because I am in doubt if Apple repair this under warranty on the other I need to get in touch with my insurance company.

    It reminds me of all the problems with the Retina on the MacBook Pro screens (you can search "Staingate" in Google). If the MacBook is under warranty, you must make a backup of your data and take it to an Apple Store or dealer, so that you can get your MacBook repaired.

  • Satellite A100-683: small lines running through the screen

    Hello

    I bought my Toshiba A100-683 for a month.
    The problem is that I sometimes see small grayish lines that passes through the LCD from the top to the bottom.
    This is are the type of lines u see also when you use your camera (phone) to make a film of a monitor / lcd screen.

    I still see them and seem to appear randomly.

    I updated my video card drivers, but this does not solve the problem.

    Is anyone familiar with this problem? Or knows a solution for this before I send it for repair.

    Hello

    It's not very easy to say why these small lines are through the LCD.
    To tell a truth, I can't imagine these lines. I've never seen this show.

    However, try to update the BIOS. There should be new BIOS available that solves the problem with the blurry background on A100.

    Note: Make sure that you use the BIOS and the BIOS correct procedure.

  • Satellite P105-S9722 - small dark spot on the screen

    Hello

    A few days there is a 1 cm x 2 cm and a few small black/transparent stained areas appeared on my screen (17 inch WXGA TrueBrite). It's the visibility varies depending on the angle of the lid and disappears almost when it's 90 degrees or if I look at the top (it turns slightly whitish).

    I wonder if anyone had the same problem or knows what it is caused by. My laptop is still under warranty (6 months). I don't remember that the screen has been pressed or anything.

    Thanks for any advice.

    Hello

    If you encounter these problems/errors and you still have warranty then the only choice would be (in my humble OPINION for me :)) for sending the machine to the ASP for a hardwarecheckup.
    Use your warranty rather than wait until your machine drops the line ;)

    Here´s a link to an index of ASP to find the next (and closest) authorized service partner.

  • Satellite L - small green dot on the screen

    I just started my new computer and on starting the loading screen (black screen), there seems to be a small (possibly green) point that is at the top of my screen and noticeable only when the screen is black.

    It will become more serious and is what I can do to change or is this something I need to worry? I would like to know as soon as possible, as if I need to send my computer back, that I'd rather not do something more about it.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think you mean a defective pixel. Is this good?

    These bad pixels are pixels on a screen LCD does not work as expected. This can happen on all LCD s and there are different pixel fault classes.

    LCD has millions of pixels and if you have a single defective pixel, everything is ok. On my Satellite L300, I also have a defective pixel but I see that if the screen is black. T, you can return or Exchange the laptop with a defective pixel only.

  • Send/receive in Windows Mail box is off the screen to the right

    Outbox send/receive in Windows Mail (Vista) used to appear at the top left of the screen.  Now, she is partially visible and on the top right of the screen.  I would like to return it where it was.  It comes to the Outbox Send/REC/WAV with the Green shows the 'streaming' line in messages and not the send/REC/WAV in a box in the toolbar.

    Right-click on the toolbar and slick on customize and control the order of the displayed icons.  Adjust them to send/receive is not the end, but where you want.  If the order is good but it still hurt shows, press the Reset button and that should restore icons in their right place (although if you have no customization, you will need to do it again).

    After further review, I know that I have responded to the toolbar tells you not what you were referring too.  I've been looking for each menu option and toolbar option I could find and you can't find any reference to any other send/receive button available in Windows Mail so that I have all the answers for you since the feature that you are discussing seems to not exist in my copy.  My only suggestion is to try to grab it with the mouse (left-click on it and hold down the left button) and see if you can move whenever you prefer it to be.  Otherwise, I have no suggestions to offer.  Do you know how to activate this box on or off (do appear or disappear) - if so, please explain how it's done.  If we can get this dialog to appear in our versions, then maybe we can find a way to solve the problem.  Have you ever installed some software enhancements 3rd party Windows Mail which could include this as a feature?

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
