Why program taskbar button turn orange and blinks?

What are the causes a button Taskbar program of change to an orange color and sometimes blinking?

Hello

This feature is by design.

The programs in the taskbar sometimes orange glow and flash because they are active or if they have a notification.

For example:

If you insert a flash drive and AutoPlay works, but you do ot whole auto play program flashes orange and also flash just to see that USB has been detected and there several fot options allows you to select the auto play menu.

Even in the case where an event occurs on a program that has been reduced to a minimum, then this program will Flash orange spots in the bar.

  • HP EliteBook 8560p: can not turn on WiFi: the button is orange, and nothing happens when you press

    Hello

    I have a problem with my wifi. The button always orange and nothing happens when I press on it: no errors, no message, no reaction at all. This is why I can't use WiFi.

    The laptop is a little new: I use only 2 months.

    1. number and product name

    HP EliteBook 8560p
    НР LQ589AW

    2 operating system installed (if applicable)

    Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

    3. error message (if any)

    No error message

    4. all changes made to your system until the problem occurred

    My windows crashed and I got it from archive created a few days ago. Archive includes all data from hard drives, the system has been restored exactly as it was before the accident. I still don't know if this caused the problem (or if the problem occurred after that): it happened a month ago, and I had no WiFi available at the time and only tried to turn it on a few days ago.

    Additional details:

    In device manager wireless card is appearing as functioning normally. In the management of the adapter Wi - Fi is on but says "no connection available. If I run diagnostic tests, he asks me to activate WIFI with a button on my laptop, which I can't do. In Mobility Center, it says "connection Wi - Fi is turned off". Activate the button is gray and impossible to click on.

    I already tried things:

    1. Reinstalled all the HP drivers from original CD.
    2. Card WiFi removed in the windows Device Manager (remove device), restarted windows, installed new drivers for it, rebooted again;
    3. Checked the mobility Center as suggested in one of the threads available on this forum;
    4. Do a hard reset for HP laptop (battery removed, push the button and hold for a minute).

    Thanks for any help!

    Anatoliy.

    I managed to solve the problem...

    Turns out that the problem was (apparently) caused by HP Power Assistant tool shipped with my laptop. Default profile has been showing the gray bluetooth and WiFi, and it was not possible to turn them on. I created a new profile, and even if all the parameters are identical to the default profile, it allows me to turn the BT and WiFi and turn off without any problems. Button is working fine now as well and goes from blue to orange when I press it. Active WiFi and it works.

    I hope this helps.

  • Why the blue wires turn orange when changing to subtract to divide the operation?

    Hi all

    I wonder what happened in my block diagram.

    I had an article that has had an operation of subtraction with numbers... I realized that I needed to divide by 2 rather than subtract long days here by two (summer)... and when I did, all turned orange wires before blue...

    I have a compound arithmetic by adding 3 numeric values to come... through a case statement... case 0 default transmits values through, case 1 divided by two...

    Is there a change of type of data here, I do not understand?

    Thank you in advance,

    Cayenne

    Divide an odd integer value leaves you with a decimal number. LabVIEW decides so it is best to use a floating point representation (double in this case) If no data is lost.

    There are several alternatives if you do not want to change your data type: function quotient & rest, scale of power of 2 function (in this one you will have to imagine a way to distinguish odd numbers if you need to)

    You can, of course, also to change the type of data in full after the division.

  • Why windows xp just turned off and then just restarts, repeatedly?

    Help, please! No apparent reason my pc under xp, everything stops and restarts. WHY?

    There could be several reasons.  Assuming that when she stops seems to be totally random and not caused by a particular program, the most likely cause is overheating.  Download and run ' CoreTemp"which will display your CPU temperature.»  You will see if it's not too hot.  If it turns out that you have a temperature problem, the two most common causes are a CPU fan that has stopped work and excessive dust inside the machine that coats the components and inhibits cooling.   Open your file and get. / clean the dust bunnies.

    Other causes include bad RAM.  While you are there, replace the RAM modules.

    Hi Peter,.

    Try to create a "new sequence" with the same settings as the previous or corrupted a. Copy and paste the old sequence in a new.

    If this does not help then to select all the items in the chronology of the corrupted sequence (ctrl + A or CMD + A).

    Go to the sequence > delete tracks and remove Audio tracks and video (A1 and V1 are by default so will not be deleted)

    Once paste clips again into the sequence that will create new tracks.

    I hope this helps.

  • WiFi button remains orange / does not work

    My HP Pavilion Notebook PC g4 has trouble with the WiFi button. Usually, the button remains orange and does not respond by pressing. Rarely, when I turn on the laptop, the button is blue, but the laptop freezes as soon as I try to do anything. I tried to do a hard reset, update driver, uninstall the device in Device Manager, and nothing worked.

    Here are the specifications of my laptop:

    Product number: LW338UA #ABA

    Name of the WiFi card: Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller

    Driver Version number: 7.34.1130.2010

    Version number of the BIOS: F. 22

    Please let me know what you think I should do. Thanks in advance!

    Ivan V.

    Yes, I think it would be the only other choice you have.

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    Chapter 4 will have removal and replacement procedures.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c03137358.PDF

    Try two things before buying a replacement card:

    1. do a hard reset of the laptop to see if it gets the card appears.

    Link to get instructions on conduct which is below.

    http://h10010.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us & LC = on & DLC = in & docname = c01684768

    2. Remove and reinsert the current wireless card.  Maybe an oxidized connection?

    If the steps above fail to get the wireless card appears, then I just get the part number and order the same.

    The part number will normally be on a sticker white and arranged as such: #-#.

    It is very important that purchase one of wireless cards supported listed in the service manual for your laptop (Chapter 3).

    They must be part of HP on the map number or it will not work.

    If the replacement of the wireless card fails to correct the problem, the motherboard has failed somehow.

  • Shortcuts to the taskbar, buttons, text, same .jpg files in the photo viewer shrank mysteriously horizontally... cannot be resolved (Windows 7)

    Hello

    To describe the problem I want to join two screenshots.

    The shortcuts at the bottom used to extend all the way to the right, to the system tray.  The taskbar buttons are tighter, and the text inside is smaller.  The date and time are narrower.  Here's how a screen shot I took in SWTOR looks:

    It is much closer, and all of the text on the screen is smaller.

    Here is what I tried:

    -Unfortunately I don't have a system restore point, so it wasn't an option.

    -Manipulate anything in the taskbar properties did nothing.  I never changed anything.

    -Change the screen resolution was not the answer.

    -Change the size from 100% to 125% don't give me the results I was looking for.  I want this to 100% and never changed.

    -Change the DPI setting has absolutely nothing.

    -Go to the police in the Panel--> font--> font settings, then clicking on "Restore default settings", made the button go gray but did nothing.

    -Go to personalization and selecting the theme of Windows 7 by default only changed color.  Work with advanced appearance settings was not helpful, because there is no option to select a font by default to size everything.  The option 'Office' here does not even allows you to change the font/size.

    -Unchecking and then re - click on my own personal theme in personalization has not changed anything.

    There is more, but this is basically what happened right out of the blue and for the life of me, I can't find a way to change it to the way it was.  It affects same SWTOR that when I log in, all the text in the chat window is smaller.  I'm just looking to Windows by default.  I found a post that told me to download "Set_Tahoma_Default_Font.reg" and then merge - a box of type BACK skipped upward, but nothing happened.  I restarted my PC after almost every change I made.

    Sorry for the novel.  Any help appreciated.

  • Why is my button width 1?

    OK, I'm officially confused.

    Why is my button 1 width and height 28 (whereas it should be 237 x 51)? It seems to interfere with several buttons that I have in my other animations.

    This is the button...

    http://twistedpancreas.com/edge/Misc/btnRollover.zip

    Can I change the actual size that it should be, because when I try it is changing the way button too long?

    Thanks in advance.

    The button is a symbol and the size has been changed at some point.

    I just watched your file to correct

    -Double-click the btnRollover symbol in the symbols Panel

    - the stage symbol properties, disable 'proportional' size by clicking on the link icon;

    -then set the 237 w and h at 51;

  • Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I wasn't staying on the left (that's why I first open). How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order?

    Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I want to keep it on the left (that's why I first open).  How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order?  I'm talking about the buttons on list of my open applications and documents in Windows Vista.  The bar tasks are "locked", but the button of the window open with gmail in internet explore reappears suddenly in the good moments apparently random.

    It is in the middle part of the taskbar (what I found online so far is on the start menu, the quick launch area or area/system tray of notification, the location of the taskbar in full, either about grouping taskbar - I disabled because I would like to separate).  Can anyone help?  I don't understand why this is happening (or why microsoft would never do).

    Lock the taskbar that it prevents to be moved elsewhere on the office and maintains the different sections where they are - it does not block the tabs showing what is open where they were when they were opened.  There is no control for this function.  Maybe if you uncheck similar taskbar buttons group it will help, but I honestly don't know (and fear he won't make any difference - it may even make things worse).  This also happens to me and I was unable to find an answer.  I think that there are more than just random, but I can't telll you why he moves the legs periodically (sometimes it works fine all day and other days it happens almost immediately).  But still, there is no control for this function, so there is no way to tell him to keep a specific order or to lock an established order, once it has been created.  I suspect that it happens because the notification area icons appear and hide and new programs open and close and which changes the amount of space available and so he rearranges things so that they match and apparently does not always consider the original sequence in which the elements have been added.  Maybe if you remove the Quick Launch toolbar and then add again, the order will reset (but that I know not - probably not in the original sequence, which I doubt is logged nowhere - it did not work when I tried it).

    Unfortunately, I don't have a solution to this problem (and I spend a little time looking for even before myselff posed the question) and do not believe that there is a.  It is also unfortunate that you can't move them so they can be put back in the right order if they change.  I don't think that there is nothing wrong with your system or that it is something that can be repaired or fixed - it's just the way it is and we just have to live with it.  I don't know any 3rd party software that controls the order of tabs open in the taskbar program (but you can check out Bing, Gooogle,www.tucows.comand www.download.com to see if I'm wrong on this - here n "t all when I looked trying to solve this problem for my own system).

    I'm sorry it wasn't what you wanted to hear, but it's like that.  I don't know if it's different in Windows 7.

    Good luck!

  • Why the title bar on Firefox and the Windows 7 taskbar let distorted image when a list of folders crosses one or the other?

I noticed that with AMD and Nvidia cards based on video, that if I use a folder in my bookmarks list that a lot, a lot of bookmarks, the bookmark list will cross the box title bar of Firefox and the taskbar in Windows 7 and down. When this happens, the title bar on Firefox versions 8-10 and the taskbar at the bottom let images from the list of bookmarks which do not disappear (at least that I have use F11 mode full screen to clear away from the image and bring it back to normal).

  • Red in my pictures turn orange in PS CS3, Lightroom, and Bridge

    Hello everyone, I have an another question that has to with my previous post 2 days ago...

    For some reason, all my images that contain the color red turn orange when they are opened in Lightroom 1.4, Photoshop CS3 10.1 or bridge 2xxx.


    But my images with red look red on my desktop, it's just when I open them in the three products listed above - they turn orange.


    Any image that I shot also loses its red color in the view Finder on my MacPro OSX 10.5.8.


    The images are red on the screen of the camera after I shoot them, but when they arrive in my Adobe products or view Finder on my MacPro, the reds turn to orange.


    I shoot with the Digital Canon DSLR and I am a professional photographer.


    I don't know what to do, I have work that needs to go to the customers, but I don't think that these orange reds will go well.


    Anyone has any ideas on what's going on?


    Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.


    Thank you all

    If your colors are going to be that bad, the color produced by the calibration profile is bad.

    Check with GretagMacBeth - they may have updated software, or may need to fix a bug in the calibrator.

    In addition, bad hardware calibration is not unknown.

    Yet once, it is bad in Photoshop, LR, etc., because these are the only programs USING the display profile.
