Overlay On Screen, Split Right Down Middle
Jun 20, 2009
I suddenly got this overlay on my computer screen. Split right down the middle like someone laid a peice of paper over it. Sometimes it fades and you can see the screen behind it. Sometimes there is a band in the middle and the other side is visible with my mouse traveling to it like with a dual screen set up. Is there any way I can find out what is causing this? Everything else looks too good for it to be a graphics card going out?

I picked up BFME2 from Best Buy a few days ago and put it on my Vista laptop. I have to say, I'm impressed with the game, except for the multiplayer. My friend has an XP laptop and he also as BFME2. The first time we tried playing together, something really wierd happened. I couldn't see anyone else in the chat room or any other games, yet he could see me and my games, except he couldn't join them.
So we messed around with the settings, we tried disabling firewall, running in admin/compat and all that stuff. We forwarded the ports, and turned off our router firewall temporarily. We finally go the idea to create an ad hoc network and it worked first time. What I want to know is why it didn't work when we were connected via the router, as I like staying with the router. It's a pain to get us both on the ad hoc network each time.

I've played the game for 3 years now and I'm staff for the game on another website, I really don't want to stop because of this.

Like many iPod fans, I always put my DVDs on my iPod and watch them when I am not working. It?s really a nice way to fill the time, but there is a problem that the movie is too long and I don?t have enough time to enjoy the whole movie at one time and next time when I want to watch it, it?s really hard to find out where to begin. From now on, it is no longer a problem. My friend tells me to split it into small parts. It works and I use Just put your DVD to your DVD Drive and click ?Load DVD? to import yourDVD.
Choose your output profile from the drop-down list. It has many profiles for different generations of iPod, such as iPod nano, iPod video and even iPhone. Click?settings? button, a pop-up window will show up and allows you to adjust ?Encoder?, ?Bit Rite?, ?Resolution? and other video/audio settings...................

I'm having a problem with the overlay title on selected clips feature on WMM bleeding from one pix to another. I have around 300 pix and all are fine but a couple of cells. I don't want to slow the transition on all pix and I don't think it's possible to do it on select ones. Is there any other way to correct this problem?

Steam Game UI Error video by dyrnwyn_images - Photobucket. This video shows a problem I've been having...along with the occasional minimizing of games launched or owned by Steam. It does not happen with non steam games. And after minimizing, the overlay flicker goes away. I would really like to know wtf is going on here. Latest drivers...vista 64, no viruses, SLI 285 GTX.

Was using: Outlook 2003 on a Windows Vista Home Edition desktop Program: Backup and Restore was set for weekly backup of several folders including my Outlook pst files to an external hardrive Problem: trying to restore the pst files which Vista split across several zip archives
I had a main pst file (my deliverable one) and several archive files that were quite large. The computer crashed several times, but I had always a recent backup. Finally the computer had to be sent back and I no longer have it. All of my backups seem intact, as I have been able to restore all of my other data except for my pst files. I think that the Vista Backup and Restore program broke up the pst files into smaller chunks when it zipped them. I am trying to restore them with a Windows XP laptop also running Outlook 2003.
I have tried: unzipping the pst files and both importing and opening the pst files into Outlook, Thunderbird and Eudora. Outlook opens it but nothing is inside. Th and Eu won't read them. SCANPST - tells me the pst files (which have .pst extensions) are not pst files extracting the pst's and copying them into one file in Command Prompt using Copy /b outlook2*.pst outlookcopy.pst - this created the latter file but it is also unreadable as a pst file. Is it possible on a non-Vista machine to fix these files?

I find it mildly annoying and somtimes confusing that my hard drive is split into C: and E:, and an external drive (eg a usb stick) is called D: I understand that there are historical reasons for this. Is there any point in trying to re-assign the drive letters (and if so, how? ) or would it cause more trouble than it's worth?

I have just purchased Halo 2 for Microsoft Windows Vista. It runs but there is one problem......It runs choppy when in a room with multiple people or a lot of "action". I have the graphics turned as low as possible and the screen resolution all the way down too. One thing i did notice is that when running the game it only runs off one of my Intel Pentium Core 2 processors. My questions is: Does anyone know how to fix the problem? Is there a way to split the work load between both processors?

In 2001 I bought a stand alone CD recorder to transfer my vinyl collection. I am now in the process of ripping the resultant CDs and I thought this might be a good time to correct some of my early recording mistakes - the most common being that I forgot to manually increment track numbers. Is it possible to split a single WMA track into the original component tracks and, if so, how do I proceed?

I have an old Logitech but fully functional mouse (cordless optical).
When I ran Vista x86 Ultimate, I installed a small program that allowed me to double-click with middle mouse button. Now, with Vista x64 Ultimate, it doesn't work anymore.
Do someone know another small program to allow me that?

My Disk is split into 2 partitions, Vista (C: ) and Data (E, each is about 70 Gb. I do not use the Data partition. I want to delete it and allow Vista(C to use all 140 Gb. The Help pages suggest that if I delete (or reduce the size of) "Data", the free space becomes unallocated? Can I repartition the disk to allow Vista C: to acces all 140 Gb?

I know this is a Vista news group but I haven't been able to find a Windows 7 group so maybe one of you guys can answer my question. I have the power settings to never put computer or screen to sleep and there is no screen saver setup. When I leave my computer alone for awhile the screen goes black. This never happened with Vista when setup this way why is Windows 7 doing this?

Something very odd happened today. I was as usual loading a large file ( 5.4gb ) in to Photoshop and as PS was doing it's business I noticed everything jumped over to my second monitor and the main monitor went blank. Moments later the image on the second monitor turned into a garbled fragmented mess before going into power save mode from which I couldn't get out of. Very strange.....Forced a warm boot. As the system had just been turned on so I can sort of rule out a heat issue - possibly & ram test OK. My workstation is mainly off line but two days ago I had to ftp something and I do remember vista installing an automatic update for windows update (without my permission) which I was very annoyed about, shame on you MS.....and after rebooting I saw a few reg. modifications come up on screen. Could this be the cause of this odd behavior. It's been fine since I had the warm boot - any ideas as to what's going on.

I've had voltage issues causing my computer to freeze or reboot during games and dvds. Fixed that and the computer was fine after memtest showing no problems. That was late Dec.
A few days ago, the computer would go to a blue screen saying it's dumping physical memory and then automatically reboots. Thinking my harddisk might be collapsing on me (I have a seagate barracuda 7200.11 500Gb HD with the SD15 firmware, the infamous crash friendly HD), I flash the HD with the SD1A firmware from seagate, then it was fine. 2days later, Catalyst started to cause problems by not responding, so I formated the drive and reinstalled vista ultimate, along with Catalyst, drivers from Mobo manufacturer ASUS, plus a couple of other softwares. That was yesterday, and now I'm getting the same blue screen back, or the computer just freezes.

I am having a very wierd issue with vista's screen saver. So basically when I leave the comp idle it goes into screen saver then turns off the monitor after 15 mins. Sometimes, more often than not, I come back and move the mouse and hit a few keys on the keyboard and nothing. The monitor wont come out of standby I try turning it off and back on, and nothing. I have the latest drivers for everything in my system and I checked the power management settings and they both are able to wake the computer up. I have a G15 keyboard and I keep the leds on and when this happens the leds are off and the lazer for the mouse is off too.

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3
Locale ID: 3081
Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 1000007e
BCP1: C0000005
BCP2: 98DD3A3D
BCP3: 8837B8FC
BCP4: 8837B5F8.......
My one guess is its something to do with the display driver maybe because that has been stuffing up a bit of late, in the way of the screen going black for a couple of seconds then recovering.

Why do I get black picture after I have pressed PrtSc button? Of course it shouldn't be black and it happens only when the screen is on full screen mode (for an example videos, games etc.). It also doesn't matters if I am using just PrtSc or Alt + PrtSc - the result is the same. It looks like this ---> http://img525.imageshack.us/i/blackba.jpg/ (and, no, I didn't painted it black).

I've had pretty good luck with vista so far but every so often it will blue screen on me and I cant figure out why. The scenario is
1. System startup from power off condition
2. System boots to login screen
3. Blue screen referencing processor timing or something
I have not overclocked or anything everything is vanilla. I would also note that I run hardware diagnostics utilities and it seems fine. Also, I never get the message about abnormal system termination like ususal. How can I get a clue as to what is going on here. So far it seems like the error is bogus, I can log in and the machine will run for days with no problem.
