Window of back it application "snaps" to a size preset 10 minutes after having been resized - HELP!

I use the VLC Media Player, as well as other concurrent applications on my desktop.  For some reason, a dozen minutes or more after than I re-size the window of the application VLC to work alongside my other apps, it "snaps" back to a much smaller size that I can't work with.  Having to constantly re-size of the app has become tedious.  Y at - it a fix for this problem?

Hi will7370,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2. When was the last that it functioned very well?

3. the question facing you only with the VLC Player?

Method 1

It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

Reset the computer to start as usual

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

Method 2

If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you uninstall and reinstall the VLC Player, check if it helps. I also suggest that you reset the VLC player Preferences, and then later proceed with uninstalling and reinstalling the drive.

    'Reboot '? Do you mean "reinstall Windows"?

    Do not confuse the two. To restart simply means to restart the computer - something that most people do every day, or more often.

    If you reinstalled Windows, you need to * turn * it. Also, not to be confused with registration activation; they are two different things. Activation is required; registration is completely optional.

    You do * not * have to buy anything. Simply reactivate. If you can't do on the internet, call the phone number provided to you. It will be quick and easy.

  • Windows 8 pro upgrade from Vista Home premium - abandonment of the facility after having successfully performed the wizard upgrade reboot

    I started the process of upgrading to Windows Vista Edition Family Premium to Windows 8 Pro by using the relevant DVD purchased from amazon.co.uk.

    Setup.exe automatically runs 'prepare' the PC for the Windows installation. The option allows to select personal folders are to remember, I chose 'Nothing' (I also tried another option). After reaching 100% of the given progress the PC is reset.

    The blue brand (8) window so that the circle of progress under and then all of a sudden I get an instant error on a light blue background, something like: ":-(". The installation could not be completed.
    I'm not sure of the message because it only flashes for a second and then reboots the PC. Back to the Vista, a message from window 8 installation could not be completed without further indication of what might have gone wrong.
    Some information on my system:
    Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.5
    6 GB OF RAM
    Important: During the described process I had a dual boot OS, Ubuntu 12 and Windows Vista. Then I formatted all realizing finally that it is explicitly a DVD upgrade and it won't work for any new installation.
    In any case, I'm really frustrated by the upgrade experience. I never had something similar, not even with Trash OS like Windows Me.
    Any feedback/direction would be really appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi Rohit, André,

    I want to thank you for posting on the thread.
    After some trial and error, I finally had. Here's what I did:
    I started by trying to install Windows 7 to then use as the basis for the upgrade of Windows 8 (Vista installation was not good enough since it is 32-Bit allows do not directly upgrade to 64-bit operating system)-here I was getting an exception (BLUE) screen with the error code several different so I started to answer one by one
    1 removed all USB and other devices outside mouse & keyboard (lock was apparently a Logitech camera)
    2 update BIOS of ASUS motherboard to the latest version
    3. I had two different pairs of RAM modules using different frequencies. (2x2gb, 2 x 1 GB). I removed a pair.
    Everything worked well, Windows 7 was installed successfully, and then I continued with an upgrade of Windows 8 smooth.
    Lessons learned: incompatibilities HW should consider significant problems during the upgrade.
    Kind regards

  • Can the files removed from Windows Explorer after having been imported in the first?

    Hey everybody,

    Pretty self explanatory question. I know that in something like Windows Movie Maker, you must keep all the videos imported to the same place that you imported in provenance, because they are referenced directly from Explorer. Premiere Pro set to the top in the same way, or it creates a cache somewhere, allowing you to edit the content of the Explorer without disrupting the PP? Thank you!

    First is related to where ever you put the files on your computer, it uses the files without copying so that they stay on the pc.

  • How to switch between multiple windows in the same application?

    Hello

    I use OS X Capitan version 10.11.13 and I'm trying to find an easy way to switch between multiple windows in the same application by using CTRL + alt or different keys.

    Here is what I feel...

    Let's say I have Outlook, Google Chrome, Safari, iTunes and apps 'about this Mac' open.

    I open the new message window in Outlook and another Chrome window. I have therefore 2 separate windows in Outlook and Chrome.

    With that, I'm unable to move the composition and the window main outlook which is so annoying. Let's say I want to read the emails by the prospect main window and transfer of the content of the compose window! The command + tab doesn't take me to the main window of Microsoft outlook! Even if there were the last visited / applications window. This constraint is not intuitive, unless it can be configured in the settings?

    Strangely, I can't switch to the "about this Mac" window.

    The work around is to use the function (F3) mission button and click on the window, that I want to use or click the "Outlook" application on the dock icon and choose the window in the list.

    Does anyone know how switch between different windows in the same application by using a key combination or one another method other than listed above?

    Thank you

    Avinash

    In general, an Application that can open multiple windows provides a "Windows menu" you can choose the window you want.

    Hi LaserShore,

    Think you that you added the 64-bit platform settings target according to this page? : http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372636F-01/mstudiowebhelp/html/64bitcore/

    Already running 32-bit application? Have you changed references to the 64-bit version?

    You use Measurement Studio? If so some features are not supported with 64 bit.

    Also when you say that you have added the NIDAQmx.lib, did you follow this KB:http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/38F67B28D995C6958625706E000C580C

  • When I try to open the Control Panel, add or remove programs, a window appears saying "C:Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found.

    Original title: rundll.exe error

    I checked the previous messages and can't seem to find a solution to this problem.  Recently I ran 3 different scans, i.e. sbybot, avast and Malawarebytes virus. After that I ran these anti-virus programs and remove viruses, I was not able to open any more virus scanners. Every time I tried, would open a window saying "Choose the program you want to use to open this file." If I try to download a new virus scanner, it says the same thing.

    When I try to open the Control Panel, add or remove programs, a window appears saying "C:Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found. I checked this file on my c: drive\system 32 and see the rundll.exe file. I also copy and pasted the file rundll.exe my CD of Windows XP in c: Windows\System32

    Everything else seems to work fine on my computer, and I get no message on the rundll.exe file when the computer starts up first.
