Set RTS on Close - option not found - device-manager

I'm trying to enable the "Set RTS On Close" option. This is supposed to be located in:
Device manager -> Ports -> USB to Serial Comm Port -> Properties -> Port Settings -> Advanced
The "advanced" screen on mine however gives no such option. I have tried this on 3 PCs; two running Windows 7 and one on Windows 8. But they all display the same thing. See screenshot: http://tinypic.com/r/2uzt09f/8
There are also several other "Miscellaneous Options" that don't appear (but appear for other people). I suspect these options are controlled by the driver. The driver is "Prolific" and used for an Arduino chip. It installs automatically when the USB is plugged in. Perhaps if I could force it to use a different driver that might fix it but I don't know which one.
EDIT: Does no one else have this problem? The only other person I could find with this problem was in a forum posted here but he didn't really get any answers http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/stopped-on-unknown-problem

This option is available when you install the FTDI driver instead of the Prolific one. use this page http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm to find the suitable driver (not executable but rather the inf file)

"XHR failed" can't download any extension

So recently I get this error "XHR failed" while trying to download extension and I already try a lot of things changing the setting but still it cant work. So I decided to try difference wifi (mySchool) and network(mobile data) and I'm shocked it's working fine. So, I guess the problem is on my own wifi. How to deal with it? I've been stuck for 2 days 🙂.
I use the latest VS CODE version on Windows 11.
I try a lot of things to fix it and been through github and stackoverflow too from `proxy setting,firewall,DNS,restart router,restart laptop also i tried everything in this question too and all but
"XHR failed"
keeps appear and as I said before without changing any setting but only changing wifi it works fine. So, I hope there's a solution on my wifi.
this is the error msgs on therminal:
enter image description here
Updates:
I'm running the same project at home and school.
I'm using the same laptop at home and school
By "mobile data", I mean hotspot from my cell service (vs. Wifi).
The projects ONLY works for wifi at school and from my hotspot.
It does NOT work from my home wifi.
It fails not only for remote explorer, but the other ones too.
I can't try to reload the extension that I want to download. The error always occurs, not only on Remote Explorer.
The other problem is "can't connect to discord via RPC: Error: could not connect"
Your problem is the same as discussed in this thread:
Visual Studio Code "Error while fetching extensions. XHR failed"
Unfortunately, there are several DIFFERENT possible root causes, and several different workarounds and solutions discussed in the thread.
You said you "tried several things". Please Update your post and specify exactly WHAT you tried, and the results.
You said it "works" on certain networks, but fails on your (home? school? other?) network (whether or not the network is "wifi" or not probably doesn't matter). Please clarify exactly "what's different" between the networks (to the best of your knowledge).
Please specify the platform you're running VSCode on (windows? MacOS? Linux? Other?)
Try this (one of the responses in the SO thread I cited above):
https://stackoverflow.com/a/71456820/421195
press f1
search "user setting"
click enter
search on user setting "proxy"
click enter
look for "use the proxy support for extensions."
change "override" to on
Q1: You're running the same version of VS Code, on Windows, using the same project, at home and at school, correct?
<= Q: Are you using the same PC (e.g. carrying a laptop from home to school), or are you using different PCs at home and at school?
Q2. By "Mobile data" (vs. "wifi"); you mean you "hotspot" for your cell phone service, correct?
Q3. The project ALWAYS works for Wifi (either at home or school), but NEVER works for your Hotspot, correct?
Q4. You're always trying to run the Remote Explorer extension in VS code when the error occurs (it never happens with other VSCode activities), correct?
<= Q: Any problems in other areas of VSCode (e.g. your compiler)?
Q5. The exact error message is The editor could not be opened due to an unexpected error: XHR failed, correct?
<= Q: Always using Remote Explorer, correct? What exactly are you doing in Remote Explorer?
BE SURE TO TRY ALL THE TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS HERE
(including verifying "ssh" from the VSCode command line, using your "bad" network):

I found the solution for my problems. it solved by using vpn.
the problem was my wifi provider probably blocking the request on vs code, seems like there's something fishy about the DNS policy. Hope this can help too

Assign command to the central soft button within javaMe

I have the mobile javaMe application that has been working on Nokia Phones. However, now I'm porting it to Samsung 5611, and I've faced with such a problem: no command is assigned on the central soft button, all of them are contained in the right-button menu. When the same midlet was launched on Nokia 3110c, one command was placed on central button, other ones (if >=2) were grouped into the options menu.
I tried Item.setDefaultCommand (no effect) and Display.getInstance().setThirdSoftButton(true) (such method not supported in SDK 3.4). Also I tried to change the type of one command to Ok or Screen, and change the priority, everything is without success.
Thanks in advance. Any idea will be helpful.
Sadly there's no way for the developer to decide exactly on which softbuttons the commands belong. It is the individual device that decides. Some devices has two softbuttons, and some has three.
You can fiddle a bit with priorities, but you still can't force commands to specific softbuttons.
That's high-level GUI (Form) for you.
If you want to have control of such things, you need to go with low-level GUI (Canvas / GameCanvas). Nowadays there are several APIs you can use to create Form-like low-level GUI. Check out LWUIT for example, which I imagine makes it easy for you to port your high-level code into low-level.
But even when using low-level coding, you have to be aware of different devices having different keycodes for the softbuttons.

how to extend the window on Chromebook with dual monitors?

I am trying to create a single chrome app to display(by using 3840x1080 resolution) on both monitors.
when I try to move a window, from one monitor to other, I am able to see only half of the window on one screen. Is there any settings to make it work like extended monitors
This was apparently a limitation of Chrome OS.
Keyword was: this bug is marked as Verified (fixed) in May. However, see this comment:
Please note that this feature was developed for specific enterprise use case, and will always be behind a flag. In other words, this will not be on by default for general use.
You can enable it using about:flags starting from M44 though.
So, to use this, you apparently need to set the "Enable unified desktop mode" flag in chrome://flags/. I can't confirm since I don't have a Chrome OS device to test.

AutoHotkey ImageSearch failing to find matches

I have servers with an AutoHotkey script running on them, that I access via TeamViewer.
Sometimes AutoHotkey fails to match an ImageSearch even when the image it matches is captured from the displayed screen using Windows' Snipping Tool.
This only happens on some servers but not others. I have tried using ImageSearch *n shade variation, to no effect.
What could be causing the issue?
This can happen when TeamViewer is allowed to choose its own quality settings based on your connection to the server. If TeamViewer decides to use low quality settings for a connection, it will enable the Windows Basic Theme on the remote computer, potentially breaking AutoHotkey ImageSearch for some types of windows.
You can solve this by selecting custom settings in your own TeamViewer options when connecting to other clients.
Go to Extras -> Options -> Remote Control
Select Custom Settings from the Quality dropdown.
Slide both sliders to the max (the right).
Enable the Aero color scheme.
Disconnect from any open sessions and when you next connect, TeamViewer will not set the theme to Windows Basic.

MATLAB r2013a on Mac OS 10.8.3 crashes when viewing documentation

(Running MATLAB 8.1.0.604 (R2013a), Mac OS 10.8.3)
When I use the doc command, for example, doc fwrite;, or when I click the "more help" item in the popup help bubble for a command, the documentation window opens, but MATLAB subsequently hangs (the spinning beachball appears). This lasts indefinitely, and I inevitably have to force quit MATLAB. This also happens when using the Publish option from the editor.
Anyone have any ideas for diagnosing this? I tried taking a process sample but I didn't see any info I could interpret, I think since it's in Java the relevant information is obfuscated behind the JVM.
See this post on MatlabCentral: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/71718 ... and more specifically this bug report which includes a "workaround." They don't suggest what could be the cause, but you might make sure that OS X is updated and that you have the latest version of Java. If you do other work with Java or with WebKit these might cause issues.
I hope you have already solved the problem. Otherwise a solution has been found, the bug resides in the Access for Assistive devices (only for version 2012b and later). If you can turn them all off from System Preferences, do that. If you can't, type this in the command window:
com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HtmlComponentFactory.setBrowserProperty('JxBrowser.BrowserType','Mozilla15');
From http://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/870843
I had the same problem with Matlab R2014a on OS 10.10.4. For me the solution involved disabling Cinch (a window management tool I had installed). This can be done by clicking on the Cinch icon in the menu bar then Disable Cinch, or from System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Accessibility (as MarcoB detailed in his answer).
More suitable as comments (but I don't have enough rep yet):
I just updated to Java 1.8.0_73 and to Safari 9.1 and the patch horchler posted no longer works.
MarcoB's command still works for fixing the crashes. But with this, no longer retina resolution in the Doc browser (so it looks ugly).
