I updated to Windows 7 a few days ago and since then, the screen has been doing weird things. It gets distorted for no apparent reason and sometimes fixes itself. I've attached 2 examples. It usually affects the title bar but also affects the entire screen sometimes. If I minimize the window, it usually improves it but nothing makes it go away completely.
I have started using an ASUS slate and find the Windows on-screen keyboard almost impossible to use because of the way the keys flash after you touch them (or even hover over them) - the fade delay is way too long resulting in a mass of flashing keys when typing with any sort of speed. I would have expected this to be a setting under the keyboard options or general personalization but no amount of digging or Google searching has turned anything up for me. Does anyone know how I can turn this off or at least reduce the fade delay time?
I've developed a application to apply visual changes and have other options, but the problem is that it requires logoff to apply the visual changes please provide some batch files to apply the changes without logoff.
Visual changes include:
frame transparency padding size and other registry operation
On my system I am using the following: Windows XP Professional SP3, Visual Basic 6 Enterprise Edition, and Crystal Reports XI Developers Edition. I also have quite a bit of other software.In previous reports I remember reading that VB6 will work with Windows 7 if "AERO" is NOT turned on. By the way, I never went to Vista and I DO NOT know the purpose or use of "AERO".Now that Windows 7 has "Windows XP Mode", is that statement still true? I do some development and maintenance of PC applications in VB6 and do not want to give it up.I would like to go with Windows 7. I have heard nothing but good reports. If VB6 or other related products are going to give me a problem, I just can't do it.
OF THE BROWSER VISUAL EXPLORER YOU SAID "We Liked It So Much We Made It Our Default Browser"... why on WINDOWS 7 Home Premium it is so susceptible to FREEZING out while using Facebook and other applications?
My Windows 7 visual transparency has just disappeared. When I go to the personalize option, it tells me that "some features have been disabled by the administrator". I am the administrator. No other user! I've tried troubleshooting the aero transparency but to no avail. Please what can I do? How and where do I see whats disabled and not?
I am looking for a way to set all my folders (viewed with win. Explorer) to use one visual look.meaning:all use Details.all use the same columns (Name, Size, Type).all with the same column widths.It would be nice to set all current folders like this, and have any newly created folders to default to this.I would like to be able to temporarily change the view using the normal methods of changing folder view, but for these changes to not stick around.
I'm running a 64-bit system, and I can't get explorerframe.dll to update properly. I've disabled UAC, patched the system files, taken ownership of the files in System32 and in SysWOW64, and replaced the files with the ones I want after adding a .old extension to the ones that I want to replace, but nothing changes. The only changes that I see are from the theme files that I used. This has happened consistently with the five or six themes that I've tried.
One USB device on my desktop computer running Win 7 professional does not work. Maintenance service told me that they cannot repair dysfunctional USB because it is build into the case (chassis). But one dysfunctional USB is not a problem at all, because I have 7 other USB slots operating normally. Anyway, now I am getting non-stop notifications of this non-problem!!! Why? The frequency is sometimes very high and always extremely annoying: it varies greatly, it can be between 5-10 per minute. Aural notifications have this annoying sound and visual notifications are popping up in a sizable cloud in bottom right corner of a screen and are lingering there for far too long, and when I click to close it, it pops back immediately. This is a spoiler (I could tolerate one or two dysfunctional notification a day). It is bothering me visually and aurally, greatly diminishing my user experience, disturbing my work, my listening to the music and watching the pictures or movies. After much tinkering I succeeded to turn off sound notification (via Sounds customization), but I cannot turn off visual notifications. I cannot customize Notification area icons - when I try to "Hide icons and notifications" in category Windows explorer where there is this unwanted visual message USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED and click OK, it does not work, because it pops up again immediately - next time I check Notification area icons customization this category is back to "Only show notifications" although I changed it to "Hide".
Quote: Visual BCD is an advanced GUI version of Windows bcdedit utility.It is the first GUI utility to implement full editing of the BCD store.No more mystery behind the BCD store. The user can see and edit every detail in a well known explorer like structure.The power of bcdedit by simple clicks and keystrokes. To create a new Windows 7/Vista/XP/VHD Loader just do a simple click.Create boot sector(Linux, Ubuntu, Mac OS X) Loader one click plus extraction of MBR or PBR with dd utility for Windows.Now with automatic creation of missing Windows 7/Vista/XP/VHD loader entries (since version 0.9.2).The user can create and change the value of more than 120 properties of BCD objects by simple edits. Other similar utilities like VistaBootPro and EasyBCD give access to not more than 30 properties.All used constants, names, objects and elements are as defined by Microsoft. That means 100% compatibility.

How to make a distributed environment in visual studio using hadoop or any other tools? Is there any other IDE that supports C# language to form an distributed environment?
I very recently put together a new build for myself with a friend. Everything was great until the audio and visual would occasionally lock up for a second. The screen momentarily freezes and the sound makes what I can only describe as a digital stutter.

I am trying to install some software. The installation goes smoothly until the last minute, when the installer tries to install "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable". This also works, but at the last minute it hangs with one second left to go, thus preventing me from installing the software at all. An error then pops up, saying: "Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft. VC80.ATL,type="win32", version="8.0.50727.762", publicKey Token=" 1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86"'.
My Skype stopped responding to user actions - it launches but Skype menu items are not reacting to mouse clicks etc, and also Skype menu at the bottom of the window during conversation, when you can click to hung up the call (red button) or call a contact (green button), disappeared, so I am unable to hung up. It gives me Microsoft Visual Studio Debugger Error - JIT debug runtime error.
The problem came out of nowhere, I noticed my computer didn't animate when minimizing, opening, or closing a window. The "animate windows when minimizing and maximizing" option is enabled. When I restart my computer, it will still show that it is enabled when I bring up that window but it won't work unless I re-apply it. This has nothing to do with aero and my video card driver is up to date. I also noticed this after I recently installed new rams but I don't see how it could affect it.
I disabled them both to run Battlefield 3 smoothly, however after I closed the game this happens: there is no longer an image or picture whenever I hover my mouse cursor over any tab in the taskbar. I've tried re-enabling both visual themes and desktop composition but the problem still persists.
Don't know what happened but some things got changed. The transparent mouse selection thingy when you drag your mouse on the desktop is the normal Windows XP/Basic one where it's just the dotted line. Also, the desktop wallpaper slide show doesn't fade into each picture it just does a quick switch. So what I'm thinking is that my computer is running in a low visual appearance mode or something like that. Can I switch it back?
I am trying to install Autodesk Maya, a 3D graphics development program.The first part of the installation gets hung up when it attempts to install Microsoft Visual C++Redistributable. I figured I would install it separately, and I got this error message with every version of the software (x64, x86, x32, etc...)Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation ofassembly"Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type="win32",version="8.0.50727.42",publicKeyToken="1fc9b3b9a1e18e3b" ,processorArchitecture="x86" port for more informationI searched for information about the error, and tried many methods.First I tried the Microsoft Fixit for Windows Update (apparently problems with windows update can cause this error), but that fixit wasironically, the only one from the list which DID NOT work. It says that the version is outdated and to search for a more current version.Next I tried a windows repair install from disk, and the repair install got at far as "Copying Windows Files" when it told me that the installation could not be continued. It then told me to restart and check for current updated.
