Hello, I've recently been dealing with computer trouble, and now that I'm past the worst of it, I've come to ask about something that's making me nutty: my display settings.


Problem in a nutshell: My programs (e.g. Internet Explorer, iTunes, Microsoft Word) don't seem to want to follow my designated screen resolution of 1024 by 768.

OS: Windows XP SP3


Web Browser: Internet Explorer 7 (I prefer it to the newer versions.)

Level of Experience: Probably easiest to say beginner


Problem: Because I unfortunately was victim of a rootkit a few weeks ago, my computer had to be wiped, and Windows was reinstalled. Since I got it back today, I've been building my computer to how it was before the virus, but my display settings are all off. I have a wide screen, and my default resolution before the virus was 1024 by 768 (I like it that way), so I restored it to that resolution. While I've taken pains to make my desktop look somewhat normal, my programs (e.g. Internet Explorer, iTunes) look rather larger and wider than they should in their screens. This is thoroughly annoying in Internet Explorer especially, since I don't like using full screen view (I don't use full screen for any programs). How do I get my programs (my desktop doesn't really seem to want to cooperate, either) to view normally?

Troubleshooting? -I messed with the space between my icons in the appearance section of the Display Properties, but this only affected the desktop. The toolbar at the bottom of my desktop still looks odd.
-I tried zooming in and out in Internet Explorer; didn't solve anything.
-I tried changing my dpi in the Display Properties, but to no avail.
-I've searched google several times but have found no help for this sort of problem.

Just for references, I'll include before and after screenshots from my display:


This is basically how my computer looked before it broke.


This is how my computer looks now: bloated toolbar and super wide IE page--the same facebook page takes up much more room.


This problem isn't dire, but it's MADDENING. If anyone has good ideas how to solve this, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks!

I have a php script that is generating a page with Google maps on it. I've extracted the html and placed it here.


The code I'm trying to figure out is in the initialize function. When the user right clicks on the map, it places a marker there. I've got that working.

What I want to do next is if the user right clicks on another spot, the first marker is removed and a new marker is put into place. What I've got right now doesn't look like it realizes that a marker has already been created.

Here's the code I'm working on:

function initialize() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {

var map0 = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas_0"));
map0.setCenter(new GLatLng(31.25044240, -99.25060610), 6);
map0.setUIToDefault();
GEvent.addListener(map0,"singlerightclick", function(point, src, overlay){
var cur_ll = map0.fromContainerPixelToLatLng(point);
if (typeof map_marker0 != "undefined" )
{
removeOverlay(map_marker0)
alert("there's already one marker out there!");
}
var map_marker0 = map0.addOverlay(new GMarker(cur_ll, {draggable: true}));
} );


Also, the listener function for the event is inline because that's how their example is - is it possible to put this function outside of the addListener call?

I am not a big user of blur(), but for the tab-panel app I have below I want to get rid of the box the browser is drawing around the tab some one just clicked. I thought I could use blur(this) or this.blur() or even onfocus="blur(this)" but all versions are blurring the entire window not just the element selected/highlighted.

Any ideas

About a week ago, I started getting a hella lot of unresponsive script alerts. They kept coming almost every few seconds so, in annoyance, I turned off the feature that alerts me. Now, however, any activity in a browser stops and is (Not Responding) just as often and the experience lasts for just under 30 seconds every time.

I looked online and the only “fix” was to trick the computer into giving the scripts more time to run before it freezes my PC and gives me another (Not Responding). Which does not actually address the issue of why I keep getting scripts that seem to be unresponsive.

Now, I don't quite know the root cause of the issue. It could be Facebook-related, browser-related, or something wrong with my computer.

At about the time that the troubles started, Facebook made some changes to its apps, particularly relating to Adobe Flash programs, and that may be the cause of the matter. I also learned that I am not the only one having this problem as many of my Facebook friends are experiencing similar problems and on other browsers.

This leads me to believe that it is either something connected to Facebook or that whatever program I use to run scripts is responsible.

Therefore, it seems that my best course of action would be to reinstall whatever program I am using to run my scripts. Yet, I thought I would check with you guys to see if you know anything about this that could help.

This problem started up about a week ago, and up until that time, everything worked alright.

I use Windows Vista and Firefox is my preferred browser, although I have noticed problems when working with IE and Chrome. I have also tried to reinstall Adobe Flash with no improvement.

So, should I reinstall whatever program that I am using to run scripts and if so, how should I go about doing that? Or do you suggest something else?

Hi
I need to create "hub pages" (pages with multiple blocks to different areas of a Drupal site) but I have limited access to what I can modify.

Right now the pages that are supposed to be "hub pages" are just simple content pages with a series of divs and inline CSS as blocks, which IMO is a really bad way of coding pages when we can use Drupal to its full potential. And we're also wasting a lot of time tweaking the inline CSS which is being overwritten by the Drupal css...

I think what we should be doing for browser compatibility is to use the "Drupal Blocks" area of the site to create blocks that can easily be added to multiple pages but I don't fully understand how Drupal blocks work.

I'm not really sure what I should be doing and with limited access to most of the block types (the only blocks I can create are "beans"), I need to understand this more before I can get the access I need from the other team who installed the site.

There are several other types of blocks already created so I added some HTML content to it, but I don't know how to add that block to a bean page or if it should be added to a content page?

Please help.

Thanks.

We bought a certificate for a domain.   I've set up a few sites with ssl before this, so I was careful to enter the FQDN in my csr request.  A day later Verisign sent the cert in an email, which we copied into a sitename.crt file on the server.   I made an unecrypted version of the key so I wouldn't have to enter the passphrase every time Apache starts.  (yes I entered the passphrase, which was accepted)

So - I start the server without errors.  When I access the site using https://sitename, the browser returns a certificate mismatch error.   The cert details appear with localhost, localdomain, ect, which is not what I entered when creating the csr & key. 


    ServerName sitename.department.domain.ext
    ServerAdmin abc@123.def
    DocumentRoot /www/virtualhosts/sitename
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/sitename-error_log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/sitename-access_log common
    SSLEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/ssl/crt/sitename.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/ssl/crt/sitename_unencrypted.key
    SSLCACertificateFile /usr/local/ssl/crt/intermediate.crt



Is there a way to print out the details listed in a crt file, from command line?   Can I do the same with the original csr file?

I started this community 10 years ago and have been an Opera user for a lot longer. I actually paid money for the browser in version 6 (back when it was ad-supported).

Today, Opera has essentially become a Chromium shell.

It's not a bad decision, Webkit is the best rendering engine and has been for a while now and site compatibility will get a lot better, it does feel like the end of an era though.

Fare thee well, Presto.

I just tried logging onto my Hotmail account on Opera, only to get the following message from Windows Live:-

"The Windows Live Network is unavailable from this site for one of the following reasons:

"This site may be experiencing a problem

"The site may not be a member of the Windows Live Network

"You can:
"You can sign in or sign up at other sites on the Windows Live Network, or try again later at this site."

It can't be my system, because I'm running Firefox concurrently on the same computer, and that browser loads Hotmail easily.

So is there a problem with Opera, that Hotmail is no longer recognising it?

So I downloaded Opera Mini for my phone. It was working and all and then now it wont let me post on livejournal. That is the main reason i downloaded it because the sprint browser would not even let me on.

At first it let me but now idk what is going on. Also on my phone I tried the beta version and it doesnt let me type using my full slide out keyboard. I hope they get this fixed! thanks

I've been satisfied with 9.64, and I'm not all that interested in bells-and-whistles, so I haven't gotten 10.0 yet. How much better is it as a browser, if it is better? Also, if I get it, can it safely be installed over 9.64, and if so, will my current customizations carry over?

I just upgraded to Opera 9.63 browser for Linux, and one thing I am having trouble with is I use black backgrounds for everything and I can't figure out how to specify white text for HTML emails. So unfortunately I keep ending up with black text on black backgrounds in HTML emails, or sometimes dark gray on black. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix that?

I've tried changing all colors in mime.css to white except for the background but this only seems to work for text emails not HTML emails. Any ideas?

Hello,
I do have a file on web server, let's say 123.zip
When I am redirecting user to it, browser opens Save dialog and puts that name by default: 123.zip. Is there any way to change that name to, let's say 456.zip?
File 123.zip stays on server as 123.zip, but user sees it as 456.zip.

One of the known ways is:

Byte[] data = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(sFullName); // 123.zip
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=456.zip");
Response.OutputStream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
Response.End();

But in this case I have to read the whole file first and then stream it out. Works fine with small files, but 123.zip could be huge. Then browser freezes and ends by timeout.

Thank you.

This may not be a PHP issue, but I'm trying to cover all my options here.

I have written a photoblog site at http://eye.thelovebug.org/

As you can see, it works a treat through a browser, and also by using wget. However, if I try and validate the site, I get a 400 Bad Request error.

The same problem occurs with my homemade RSS feed at http://eye.thelovebug.org/rss.php

Again, works great with a browser and wget, but doesn't validate or load in Google Reader (or other RSS aggregator), or LiveJournal. Same 400 error.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Not sure how many people use Firefox or the Web Developer Extension, but it seems there is a conflict with it somewhere. I noticed that Firefox was not loading when I tried to launch a new instance, however the process was listed in the Task Manager [and using about 53,000 K of memory]. Clicking links in pages resulted in no response from Firefox as well. I asked a friend who also uses FF and we compared our extensions, the two that we both have in common are:

-Tabbrowser Prefrences 1.2.8.8
-Forecastfox 0.8.2.5

Not sure if it is a conflict with one of these extensions, or just a bug with the Web Developer extension. I disabled the Web Developer extension, and everything is back to normal. but I thought I'd let people know incase they are having similar issues :D
