Why do I get the "open with" screen every time I try to open a program?

Whenever I try to open a program it shows full-screen. As for example... I opened firefox and it comes up with the open with screen so I take the option of firefox, then it said Open firefox.exe. He said: ' you have chosen to open firefox.exe which is a: application to: C:\program files\mozilla firefox would you like to save this file? "so I press Cancel because it's my only option and then I can use it. So if I try to open anything up as OBJECTIVE online, I get an error message saying "application not found" I push OK and then work.

    Why an I get the test page yellow and black with each print job? I have a HP PSC 1350

    Hi - I assume that the page that you see printed is the alignment page.  This happens usually if the alignment process has not been made.  All you should have to do is take the printed alignment page and place it face down on the scan scanner glass and press.  Who must complete the alignment process and eliminate the page printing every time.  If you have problems, try following the procedure described in this document.

    Hope that helps.

  • How to get the orientation angle screen with 40 Hz stably without delay to sync?

    Goal: Get orientation angle screen at 40 Hz stably without delay for synchronization.

    Problem with two situations:

    1. When you use the bbutil_swap and navigator_event_get_orientation_angle (event) to get the orientation angle screen with other data such as acceleration sensors and gyroscope data, the sampling frequency will be low grade at 10 Hz randomly. The difference of synchronization will increase from 25 ms to 100 ms.

    2. when the screen orientation angle is collected in the following code to get the angle only, the difference in timing of sampling will be 1, 2 or 5 seconds at random.

    Question: How do I get the orientation angle screen with 40 Hz stably without delay to sync?

    or something wrong in my code?

    Mini code:

    public static void handleNavigatorEvent(bps_event_t *event) {}
    switch (bps_event_get_code (event)) {}
    case NAVIGATOR_ORIENTATION_CHECK:
    navigator_orientation_check_response (event, true); If not the line, no updates on the screen rotation.
    angle = navigator_event_get_orientation_angle (event);
    break;
    case NAVIGATOR_EXIT:
    stop = true;
    break;
    }
    }

    public static void handle_events() {}
    for(; ) {
    bps_event_t * event = NULL;
    If (BPS_SUCCESS! = bps_get_event (& event, 0)) {}
    fprintf (stderr, "bps_get_event failed\n");
    break;
    }
    If {(event)
    If (bps_event_get_domain (event) is {navigator_get_domain()})
    handleNavigatorEvent (event);
    }
    } else {}
    break;
    }
    pthread_create (& t1, NULL, (void *) & rawacceleration, NULL);
    }
    }

    int main (int argc, char * argv []) {}
    screen_create_context (& screen_cxt, 0);
    bps_initialize();

    {If (EXIT_SUCCESS! = {bbutil_init_egl (screen_cxt))}
    fprintf (stderr, "bbutil_init_egl failed\n");
    bbutil_terminate();
    screen_destroy_context (screen_cxt);
    return 0;
    }

    If (BPS_SUCCESS! = screen_request_events (screen_cxt)) {}
    fprintf (stderr, "screen_request_events failed\n");
    bbutil_terminate();
    screen_destroy_context (screen_cxt);
    return 0;
    }

    If (BPS_SUCCESS! = navigator_request_events (0)) {}
    fprintf (stderr, "navigator_request_events failed\n");
    bbutil_terminate();
    screen_destroy_context (screen_cxt);
    return 0;
    }

    Rawlog = fopen (rawfilename, "w"); Save the file in a specific path.
    fprintf (rawlog, "Absorption system, Angle\n");

    navigator_request_events (0);

    While (! shutdown) {}
    handle_events();
    bbutil_swap();
    }

    closeshutdown();

    return 0;
    }

    Thank you for your attention,

    Using SENSOR_TYPE_ORIENTATION of sensor_type_t , you should be able to get > 10 Hz.  Use sensor_set_rate() to get the slower delay to call sensor_info().  Make sure not to enable sensor_set_skip_duplicates().

    However get the orientation at the 40 Hz streaming will not make your application any repsonsive more.  The only way to make your app more would be to manage the orientation change in a short period of time.  This is the time when orientation changes (at the hardware level), to receive you and to deal with it.  It is usually a constraint system and there is not that you can do about it.  What you see using the code above is the same information repeated over and over; FACE_UP, FACE_UP, FACE_UP, which is not really useful.

  • How can I get the opening for an enlarged screen screen

    Original title: opening screen

    How can I get the opening for an enlarged screen screen

    If you are talking about an Internet Explorer page, three options.
     

    1: take the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use to expand. Close all other windows first via the taskbar and the latter. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.
      
     
    2: any shortcut you use to launch the window, right-click, and select Properties. Under the 'Run' drop-down list, choose "expanded".
     
     

     
     
  • How do I get the normal home screen on the Mac Pro?

    I upgraded the graphics card in my 2008 Mac Pro, which has also bootcamp, but now when I want to switch it to Mac OS X I have graphics cards, boot in OS X with my OS X disk selected, restart and then it will stay, instead of being able to hold down the option key pressed during boot to get the drive selector. Is there a file I can change so that I get the Apple boot screen and the drive selector?

    Sounds like replacing the graphics card is a regular PC and not a Mac-Flash card. Only one Mac-Flash card will show a splash screen and allow the use of the Option, special recovery and other startups.

    Some mac-flashed it maps to select the PC or Mac equipped with a switch mode

    Do you have what graphics card installed?

  • I get the windows login screen and I do not know the password for administrators

    I accidentally deleted my account and when the computer starts and I get the windows login screen and I do not know the administrators password. Also how can I reinstall windows when I got a disc when I brought my laptop. Thank you, Lorraine

    Thanks for getting back to me. I sold my old laptop to my son-in-law, and he asked me to remove my name from the computer off so that my name wasn't on the screen all the time. so I deleted the profile of cook of lorraine and made one for him, but I didn't give it a password. then I realized what I had to do (I got Lorraine where time is on the bottom of the screen), but was unable to highlight to remove it without a mouse. so I plugged a mouse, but the computer does not read, then I restarted the computer. When I restarted, all I could get was the windows login screen.

    then I typed in the name son-nlaws and they said that he was kidnapped, tyoed in mine and got the same and then typed in Administrator, but did not know the password. I have since reinstalled windows. XP Professional would not install saying a file was missing, so I installed xp family and is working again. He just has to click on what edition it wants to run. Professional XP of course happen just with the display of connection... but it can use again.
    Thank you once again, Lorraine
