Another EB-invalidate_delegate problem

Hi All,
I'm using iAS 6.0 SP3 TestDrive.
In my EJB, a Session bean, I threw an exception,
<isx.swordfish.frontoffice.control.exceptions.LoginFailedException>, but on
the client side, I'm catching the <RemoteException>. Is there a reason for
this to happen, shouldn't I be expecting to catch the Exception I threw on
the EJB side? My Exception class extends from Exception and implements
Serializable. Is it something to do with my transaction attributes specified
for the method in my EJB. How can I overcome this problem, please help?
Thanks,
Christopher Lam

[IsxClientControllerWebImpl] RemoteException caught:
javax.transaction.TransactionRolledbackException

I was trying to find out the meaning of the various transaction attributes
found in the deployment tool, but couldn't find it anywhere in the
documentation:
1) Not Supported
2) Required
3) RequiresNew
4) Mandatory
5) Supports
6) Never
I'm currently using <required> (by default) for all the methods in my EJBs.
When do you use the others?

I hit ignore and it prompted me to hit finish so Itunes can open.   I looked thru alot of these posts on here to try and resolve this problem myself but it's not working too well...I downloaded Itunes to my desktop so I can right click it with the program i downloaded called WinRAR. I extracted it and then went into the folder called Itunes64setup. I saw the file called AppleMobileDeviceSupport64 in there so I began to try and download it on it's own. Well that didn't work as I planned and got this error message:
    Apple Mobile Device Support wasn't installed on your computer. The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time,please run the installer again.
    Well I tried to run it again and came up with the same message...I see that some people got great support to help them so I am hoping someone can help me as well. I know "b nor" is very qualfied and hopefully can help me! Please advise what I can do. Thank you

  • Yet another active directory problem

    Hi,
    I'm trying to bind a few Macs in my Windows 2003 Active Directory Domain, they're the first that comme with Lion 10.7.2 out of the box. I'va had my share of problems with AD binding of Macs, but I already have a lot of 10.6.8 Macs, and a few other that got upgraded from 10.6 to 10.7 without much problems and those work fine with my AD.
    That, of course, couldn't last and I now have a new problemes with my 10.7.2 Macs. The binding process in itself seems to work fine, I've got the green light in front of my AD domain and I can log with my AD accounts on my Macs. The problem start when I try to access the directory utility to change the default settings for "active directory" (any settings will do, create mobile acount for example) : this creates another AD binding in "network account server", I can still login with my ad accounts but none of the settings I set in the directory utility are effective.
    Both of those AD binding are shown with a green light, but the second one has a comment stating that it is not present in the auth scope rules. My AD DNS domain name is something like "domainname.com" (no .local), but the short netbios name is something like "dom" : the original AD binding on my 10.7.2 Macs is "dom", and the one created after I change some settings is "domainname". On my other Lion or SL Macs correctly joined to my domain, the domain only appears with the name "domainname" : it seems that for some reason Lion is now troubled by the fact that my netbios name is not the dns name minus the extension...
    If I unbind one of my correctly working upgraded 10.7.2 Macs, it exhibits the same issue when I try to rebind it.
    Does anyone else has a similar AD configuration, and does it work with 10.7.2 ? Does anyone has any idea of how to work around it ?
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    I have experienced the same problem with Macs in my Windows environment. I have found a work-around for it, but it is a little bit tedious. What I have found is that if you reinstall Lion (10.7 or 10.7.1) and bind it to the domain before patching to 10.7.2 it will bind correctly with only one entry in the network account server dialog. From there you can updagte to 10.7.2 and it will work correctly. There is a catch, though. If for any reason you need to unbind the machine from the domain, you will run into the same problem when you try to bind it again. I know it is not much of a fix, but it is what I have been doing to get around the problem. I hope this helps you out.
    Regards

  • Yet another temporary freezing problem, energy saving related, maybe

    I've followed uncountable suggestions about this issue, but none seem to be quite the same situation, and none of the suggestions I tried made any difference so far.
    History: MBP 17" June/2009, 8GB RAM, 500GB Seagate with sudden movement protection, started life as 10.5.7, done at least three fresh reinstalls of SL. The problem was present on the second SL install (the one I really used in production for about a year), but I solved it somehow by following uncountable Google suggestions at the time. Didn't take not of the magic one, because the problem wasn't so predictable at the time, or I didn't know enough about it, and also because I only noticed the problem was gone after a couple of weeks of normal use. Unfortunately, some time ago my filesystem went nuts on a kernel panic and, though I was able to move things back in place from lost+found, a few things wouldn't work as they should, so I went for another fresh reinstall. After I started to use the new system the problem showed up again, but I haven't being able to find a fix for it again. Current system (10.6.4) and patches regularly updated, though I tend to delay a reboot to avoid putting together all my usual windows/applications in the correct desktop/spaces. Maybe the only continuously running extension I have is Growl, since I tend to more heavily use the Unix part of the Mac through MacPorts (latex, tcpdump, nmap, bash scripts, emacs and so on). Recently I installed M$ Office, but normally I prefer OpenOffice (does M$ Office install some sort of extension?)
    Frequency: I'm almost sure it is triggered by something related to energy saving regarding turning off the screen, but it doesn't happen every time. When I'm giving a class, the machine runs on battery, the settings for screen off are shorter and if I take too long to generate some input (key press or touchpad action), the problem tends to happen. Interestingly, it's particularly more frequent when I'm giving classes:-):-), but it is happening even on my desk with power on. I'm inclined to think there's a "window of opportunity" for the bug to happen, maybe between screen dim and screen off (a few minutes?). My settings are currently at 15 minutes for the screen to go off, for both power adaptor and battery operation, but that's an attempt to lower the chances of this happening during class, which is terrible. They used to be at only a few minutes of inactivity.
    Symptoms: if I try to do anything with the machine past some period of inactivity, maybe during that window I mentioned above, there's a high chance of the bug being triggered. The system responds quickly to clicking a window, but applications don't seem to receive the focus of attention; I notice that the window frame of an application doesn't get darker when I try to select it. On a Terminal, the prompt remains as a rectangular frame instead of a filled block (I use white characters on dark background), and no matter how much I try, I cannot give the focus of attention to the visible shell on Terminal, so I can't issue any shell command to try and find out things. Changing workspaces may happen, but at a very slow speed, maybe many seconds after issueing the command. Eventually the system recovers itself, usually after several minutes, and then all user interface events that I tried during the freeze were remembered and are played sequently as fast as the machine can handle, sometimes doing unwanted things in the process due to objects receiving the wrong action (some sort of desynchronization). The outstanding event that preceeds recovering is the screen being progressively blackened and then lit again, but not instantly as in moving the pointer to a hot corner. The screen transition happens during half to a full second, after which all queued events are played at the fastest possible speed. After that the system is completely normal. In the beginning I have hard-rebooted the machine, because I didn't know it would eventually recover itself. During class I also don't have the patience to wait for long (and neither do students:-)).
    Solutions already tried:
    - disabling sms through pmset. I know it has to be disabled with this particular drive, otherwise conflicts with the drive's own mechanism. It is currently off, and had been on for a while till I refound the suggestion through google.
    - re-indexing Spotlight's DB. No change.
    - fixing file permissions (I don't see any possible relation, but anyway...)
    Don't recall what else is missing on this list, because I couldn't find a concrete suggestion for this scenario, so I believe that's about it.
    It looks to be more frequent now, to the point that I decided to stop work just to write this long msg, in the hope that someone else may have seen such behaviour and have something new for me to try.
    Thanks in advance.

    The problem is that the initial backup is incredibly slow and hasn't worked yet. I right click on the dock icon and start the backup process which after working out what needs to be copied progress's in very slow erratic bursts.
    It's hard to offer a definite solution. But there are some simple things you could try to improve the backup speed such as excluding TM backup disk from spotlight indexing (privacy tab in spotlight prefs), and excluding unecessary files and folder from the backup (e.g. applications) in TM prefs.

  • Another "duplicate email" problem.

    I asked the following question over on the Office 2013 forum and the only response I got basically told me to "go ask this on the Outlook forum", so here goes:
    "I too am experiencing rabid email duplication with Outlook 2013.  I've found a way to avoid the problem, and also a way to fairly reliably CAUSE it.  I'm posting in the hope that this will help Microsoft with information that will allow them
    to correct their buggy code.
    My configuration:
    LAN/Domain network running Server 2008 R2 and a 3rd party (not Microsoft) email server. (Code-Crafters Ability Mail Server). 
    Physical network is a mix of hard-wired Gigabit Cat6 and wireless (Ubiquiti Pico M2 HP).
    A mix of Windows workstations, desktops and laptops running a mix of XP-Pro, Vista Ultimate, Win 7 Pro, and 8.1 Pro.
    A mix of Outlook versions, the XP and Vista machines are mostly running Outlook 2003 (yeah, I know, it's ancient but it generally still works fine for these users and they hate change).  The 7 and 8.1 users are all on Outlooks 2013 (installed as Office
    2013 Professional Plus 2013).
    All of the users access their email on the OEM Ability server via IMAP. All users have at least "a couple" of sub-folders defined in their account and all use at least "some" Outlook rules to route some email at both receive and send
    time into various folders.  Some users have a lot of rules and folders, some have only a small handful.  These users also have external IMAP access to their email on the server via their Android phones, generally using the "Type" (formerly
    Bluemail) Android email client.
    Everything from the server down (including the email server and the domain controller)  is mine and under my direct control.
    What happens fairly consistently for a few users is this:
    If they have Outlook 2013 running on more than one workstation at the same time, eventually it will go insane duplicating a handful of emails, both in the inbox and in one or more of their folders, at the rate of once every few seconds.  They are also
    connected via their android phone when this happens.  All clients (all the Outlook instances and their phones) go nuts trying to send 'new mail' notifications out at a very rapid rate.  It's not possible to delete them fast enough to keep up, no
    matter how quick they are on the trigger.  The emails in question ARE in fact duplicates - everything about them including the header information matches - and they are "real" (the duplicate copies are also visible through the web interface
    directly into the email server), so I'm sure the duplication is not just inside the Outlook view of the user's email folder(s).
    Stopping all of the user's instances of Outlook stops the duplication.  Stopping just the android client does not.  If the user shuts down all his/her instances of Outlook and uses the webmail interface to delete all the duplicates (even the 'original'
    email) and then starts exactly ONE instance of Outlook 2013, things are fine.  Starting a second instance of Outlook 2013 on another machine (for the same user) will eventually cause the duplication to start again.  Sometimes immediately, sometimes
    not, but in my experience it has always started again within an hour of starting the second Outlook 2013 instance.  When it starts, the duplicated mail is the same as before - even though the user previously deleted all copies of it, they 'magically'
    start re-appearing.
    I'd really like for this to get fixed.  Now, before anyone replies, if you're going to just write "you shouldn't run multiple instances of Outlook for the same account from different machines",  don't.  I don't want to hear
    it and the reasons that some of my users want to do this are none of your concern.  If it's DOCUMENTED in official Microsoft documentation that this is not a supported action, then I want to see the reference myself.  Otherwise, keep it to yourself
    - thanks.
    Also, don't suggest that I delete and rebuild the user's email profiles and/or email accounts on the server.  Been there, done that (multiple times), it doesn't solve the problem.
    Dont' suggest that I ditch my existing email server and convert to something else (like Exchange). I happen to like my existing email server (and so do my users).  I've already worked this problem with their support structure fairly extensively and
    we're both satisfied that the problem is not being caused by their server code.
    Finally, don't tell me to run scanpst.  Also been there, done that (multiple times) and that too does not fix the problem, so either the problem is somewhere other than in a corrupted pst/ost file, or scanpst is too dumb to find and correct whatever
    corruption might exist.
    Having said all that, any insights into what's going on?"
    Another symptom, which may or may not be related that I'm seeing on one of the problem machines is that Outlook "sometimes" does not show recent email on the user's account.  The user can access his email account via direct web access into
    the email server and is able to see, sometimes, several days worth of email traffic that does not appear in Outlook (again, using an IMAP connection).  Trying various combinations of "send/receive" operations, "folder unsubscribe/subscribe"
    operations, even exiting and restarting Outlook all seem to complete with no errors, but also without retrieving the missing email from the server.  Sometimes "time goes by" and the user can restart Outlook and the email will appear, but
    I've not yet found a way to make it happen.

    Update:
    I've reading around the different posts and saw somewhere that it might help if i put my username and password in the outgoing mail section (where is says optional). I did that! I then shut off my wifi and tried to send mail using the edge network and it was sent successfully. I will try this when im away from home again. Hopefully this will work.

  • Another NVidia graphics problem (8800 GS) - late spring 08 imac

    I have a spring 08 aluminum imac (24", 3.06GHz, 4GB RAM, 10.5.7)
    The graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS w/ 512 MB VRAM
    I get sporadic strange graphics failures seemingly at random intervals. They started around the time I upgraded to 10.5.5 (or maybe 10.4.4... can't recall) back in December, but that could be coincidence. They do not seem to be tied to use of any application or user action. Since they started in December, I have gone months without them, and had them occur 5 minutes apart. They've hit me a half dozen times in the last 3 days.
    Here's what happens:
    The screen appears to flash once
    The computer becomes unresponsive (usually w/ spinning beachball)
    If activity monitor is running, the CPU stays at a low use %
    Sometimes the dock icons pixelate and/or turn yellow
    Occasionally the desktop icons seem corrupt/pixelated
    The desktop background is unaffected. If iTunes is playing it is unaffected. The mouse moves the pointer with no sluggishness or lag, though clicking is usually ineffective (can have either standard pointer or spinning ball)
    Using iStat, the GPU immediately after a reboot is ~52 deg and the GPU Diode is 59 Deg. The top of the machine is very warm. I can hold my hand there indefinitely, but any hotter and I would not be able to. The CPU fan is running at 1300rpm, hard drive at 1500, optical drive at 700.
    Tech tool Pro 5 video memory test shows no problems.
    Sometimes the machine appears to recover somewhat, but then I get another "flash" and the symptoms repeat.
    If I pull up console, I get a host of error messages along the lines of:
    7/14/09 8:41:18 PM kernel NVDA(OpenGL): Channel exception! status = 0xffff info32 = 0xd = GR: SW Notify Error
    7/14/09 8:41:18 PM kernel 0000000c
    7/14/09 8:41:18 PM kernel 00200000 00008297 00000472 00000000
    7/14/09 8:41:18 PM kernel 0000047e 00001b0c 1000f010 00000003
    7/14/09 8:41:18 PM kernel 00000000 00000000 00000000

    7/14/09 8:41:42 PM kernel NVChannel(OpenGL): Graphics channel timeout!
    7/14/09 8:41:54 PM kernel NVChannel(Display): Graphics channel timeout!
    Typically, the only recourse is a hard reboot holding the power button.
    I fear I screwed myself, as even though the problem started in December, it had gone "dormant" in early spring, and I let my 1 year warranty go past without getting extended applecare. A call to apple care yielded only a "bring it to a genius bar and they'll have a look" but given the sporadic nature of the problem, I doubt I'd be "lucky" enough to get the error.
    Can anyone offer advice as to:
    What the heck is going on
    Whether this is a common enough problem that I can badger Apple into fixing it out of warranty
    If there is anything I can do to remedy the problem myself
    What I can expect to pay for a repair

    Typo - should read : "They started around the time I upgraded to 10.5.5 (or maybe 10.5.4... can't recall)"

  • Another pdf export problem with graphics missing

    well, it seems that there have been quite a few export probs w/pdf.
    i created some somewhat complex graphic files (wine labels) using keynote. then transfered them over to pages so that i would be able to print them
    more easily. when transfering them to pdf files i lose some graphics.
    the graphics that i lose are chinese characters...but only SOME of them.
    i've tried pdf/x, still the same problem, but then i have that funny shaded
    box around my letters.
    i've tried exporting directly from keynote, but the pdf image is markedly
    smaller than the oringinal document (with the comments hidden).
    any ideas...even the genius bar is stumped.

    In general, if some Chinese characters behave in one way and some other ones in another, it is often because one uses the wrong kind of font. If you for example have the (simplified) character 话 and use a font for traditional Chinese it may sometimes fail - especially in MS Word.
    That said, I cannot reproduce your particular problem here. Both Keynote and Pages seem to handle this as well as they possibly can for me.
    Two things you can try:
    1. Change font, to make sure that it matches the character.
    2. Create another account on your Mac and see if you still have the same problem.
    What did the characters look like? Any fancy formatting with shadows or colours?

  • Another halting Thread problem

    Hello,
    I want to make a benchmark software using Java, and I want to add capability to stop the test if such setting was selected that the test would take forever. I know that I can do this with using such code like:
    public class MyBenchThread extends Thread {
    boolean toldToStop = false;
    public void run() {
      while (!benchmarkEndConditionHasMet && !toldToStop) {
       // Run heavy benchmark here
    public void haltTest() {
      toldToStop = true;
    }and calling haltTest() from another Thread.
    However, this has two problems:
    1) To have the benchmark at its purest level, I would like
    to avoid extra computation as much as possible. Is there a way to give the same effect of killing the thread without constantly checking a condition variable?
    2) If the benchmark involved some I/O operation (not necessarily over a socket to which you can set a timeout) that takes a while to complete, I would not be able to halt it using the above code or interrupt() function in Thread class. I know that stop() is likely to cause problem... So is there any way to force interrupt execution of the Thread including I/O, do whatever cleanup is needed, and gracefully exit?
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry for late response... Had been away for weekend.
    Well, interrupt() does not seem to work on I/O operation. It only works on a Thread that is actually sleeping or waiting on a monitor. If it was doing some heavy number crunching or I/O, I think it will only set its interrupted status to true, and does not actually suspend its operation. (This is my assumption; correct me if I am wrong)
    Hmm... so I guess there is not really a way to get around this. I was having problem with using a proprietary library that established a CORBA session inside it, and it did not provide any way of halting the operation externally. Unless I Ctrl-C whole VM, the library call just kept on going for about 30 secs till it finally gave up.
    I don't know... Is force trying to stop a problematic thread that dangerous thing in general to do in multiprocess programming, even if you knew what you were doing?

  • [SOLVED kinda]Yet another Broadcom wireless problem - scanning

    Use an old Gateway laptop with a wireless card to provide internet through NAT to my desktop computer that isn't nearby my switch.  I was doing this for the longest time using WinXP on the Gateway, but since all my other computers are now running linux, I figured, hey, why not put a really sleek and sexy copy of Arch onto the Gateway, and free up some of that HD space for easier file sharing between the desktop and the rest of the network.  So I installed Arch, and have run head first into how much Arch and Broadcom wireless devices do not play well together.  Have spent all my time since then searching the forums, the wiki, etc, but to no avail.  So going to just go ahead and finally make my own call for help via the forums here. 
    I've only ever ONCE seen a scan find a wireless network, and that was after my first reboot after installing arch.  That was the only time. There are at all times 2-4 wireless networks in range of this computer.  I'm currently on my netbook running Ubuntu to post this (typing everything in by hand, ugh), and can see 4 networks right now.  The Arch laptop can't find any.
    To start off with:  I have read the wikis.  I have searched the forums.  I HAVE INSTALLED THE FIRMWARE.  I've checked to make sure my card is supported, and the driver it uses is the b43, and is not supposed to be compatible with the wl driver.  This is the cardbus Linksys WPC54G v1 card.  I know the card itself works.
    Here's the various data I'm sure will be requested of me at one point or another.  This is all taken immediately after booting.
    What can I try.  I've probably already tried it, but I'm willing to walk through step by step with someone if they think they can help.

    How about any need to blacklist when you need b43. Anything suspicious around in lsmod?
    with b43, you can see me previous lsmod on the original post.

    Any other ideas?
    It can scan ONCE.  The b43 driver is obviously functional at least for a bit.
    Standard network service, wicd, netcfg, etc, I've tried them all.  Reinstalled from scratch twice.  Looking for NEW ideas basically.  I've read just about every single post about every broadcom chipset out there.  I just happen to have one of these rare ones apparently.

  • Another Caller Display Problem

    My caller display stopped working today at 14.00hrs and dispite reporting it several times and getting a text saying its now fixed, its not working.
    I have no filters and a filtered face plate, on infinity broadband and tried 2 new bt phones and they both display the same as the old ones NO Caller ID is Displayed.
    I took  my old phones to a mmate and they both show caller display, so sispect its another one of those weak signal faults ?
    Can a mod here take a look at it for me ringing India is winding me up
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    No filters as I put in my first post a filtered face plate.
    The phone is plugged into it direct, but it started working again on its own dispite a call from India saying problem is with my equiptment! which its not.
    BT are a shambles and its ok when everything works and I'm lucky mine never turned into a 6/8 multi call to 151 like others here.
    What caused it to stop working ? thery dont know, how it got fixed they dont know, other than to say after it started working again the faults in my property.

  • Another RMAN duplicate problem - RAC database to single instance

    Hi,
    I have a problem with the RMAN duplicate procedure and was hoping someone can help.
    I would like to create a duplicate of our production RAC database on a separate, stand-alone, database server on another site. This duplicate will be used for intensive querying by another business unit who I don't want to have access to our production database.
    My procedure goes like this:
    1. Create a disk (not ASM) based backup of the datafiles and any archived redo logs:
    "run {
    allocate channel d1 type disk;
    backup format '/u02/stage/df_t%t_s%s_p%p' database plus archivelog delete input;
    release channel d1;
    2. Tar and scp these files to the same location on the stand-alone database server.
    3. In the meantime, work has been happening on the production database and further archived redo logs have been generated. I don't really care about these logs for the purposes of the duplicate however, I just want to duplicate to the point of the recent backup. To do this, I run the following SQL to determine the sequence number that I should be duplicating up to:
    "select max(sequence#), thread# from v$archived_log where deleted='YES' group by thread#;"
    4. Duplicate the production database to the stand-alone database (all the SQL Net stuff is working).
    "run {
    set until sequence (value returned by above SQL statement);
    duplicate target database to XXX;
    However, my problem arises because I don't know how to handle the fact that there are two threads. I understand that each thread relates to one of the RAC instances, I just don't know which one to specify for the duplicate. We have a database service which the client application connects through, and that service runs on on or other of the instances. Should I just care about the logs from the instance where the service is currently running?
    Am I even approaching this is the correct way?
    I look forward to any help that people may be able to offer.
    Regards,
    Phil

    Hi Werner,
    Thanks again for your help, there is still something wrong though. "list backup of archivelog all;" shows:

    you can see that something is setting the recovery SCN to 569505448 which higher even then any of the archived logs mentioned above. If I select current_scn from the production database, this gives me 569528258 which is closer to the value which RMAN is expecting to recover to than any of the archived redo logs.
    Can you think what might be causing RMAN to try to recover to this value? and why does it appear to be ignoring the SET UNTIL SEQUENCE command?
    Cheers,
    Phil

  • Another Invalid Signature Problem

    For the last few Itunes updates, I have received the "invalid Signature" message and whilst there are a lot of other people reporting this problem, I haven't seen a definitive answer. I am directly ethernet connected to my Linksys router and everything else downloads perfectly. I will try to use another machine to download the update and copy it but I was hoping for a real answer???
    Paul Nol UK

    A real answer would take some poking around in your particular model Linksys settings.
    I saw one post about an MTU setting not matching between the router and the PC, but that was with a wireless setup, not ethernet like you have.
    Frankly it would just be easier to download it from another PC, I think.
    However, I'm curious if you can get a large download from any other site. The latest itunes DL is around 79MB. Adobe reader is about 49MB - does that go through?

  • Yet  another Flash Player Problem for a newbie

    Here is the situation. A friend took my PC and installed a couple of fans and installed AVG. I get the computer back and now when my kids go to web sites that need flash player they get a message that says you don't have flash player (even though I do have it installed). I uninstalled AVG, and adobe flash player and re started the computer. I then tried to re instal the flash player however nothing happens when I click the "agree and install" button.  I have windows XP IE8. After hours of looking through the web I did see a couple of articles that said some CPUs were having trouble with flash player after AVG was installed. Here is one  http://news.softpedia.com/news/AVG-Tags-Adobe-Flash-Player-as-Malware-97976.shtml Anyway considering all i did was have fans and AVG put on, it had to be AVG. What I don't undestand if I uninstalled AVG why am I still having this problem, Any help would be greatly appreciated (and thats a understatement!)

    Hi, I was just getting ready to reply to your post here, when I saw the other one come in. Was going to ask you if you had
    checked your websites to see if using the Removal tool made a difference. Well, that is good news. Glad that took care of it and you didn't have to remove AVG. The rule with Anti-Virus programs is whenever you change from one to another(not updating or upgrading with the same company) that you Download the new one to your Desktop. Then you can remove the old program from Add/Remove, run a removal tool if one is provided and then Install the new Anti-Virus program, and Reboot(always). Reboot after Uninstalling and Reboot after Installing, best policy.
    Thanks for the feedback on your success and kind words and also for marking your thread as answered. Helps everyone.

    P.S. Should you have any issues in the future, use this thread that you have started. A lot easier since your info is here.

  • Another IP profile problem and disgruntled custome...

    Right, I'll try to keep calm when posting this...
    Since 27th March 2011 I have been plagued by 2Mb downstream speeds out of a possible 7.5Mb.
    Before this date I had no issues and nothing has changed in terms of wiring, configuration or the like.
    After running speedtest, my line is capable of 7-8Mb but my IP profile is at 2Mb. I have contacted BT on at least 4 occasions and each time they said my profile has been reset and I should wait 24/48hrs for the speed to improve.
    Annoyingly, each time I wait, the end result is the same, 2Mb!
    Not short of losing the will to live and moving my BB to another provider, I want this issue sorted. It is unacceptable that after more than a week and numerous promises, the issue is still outstanding.
    I dont want to speak to 1st line support anymore, they are an insult to my intelligence. Someone from tech/engineering who is reading this that I can have a sensible technical conversation with, please contact me.

    Hi this is a peer to peer forum in other words customers helping each other the only BT presence are the Forum moderators
    could you first try the following test connect a corded phone to the test socket at the rear of the master socket and then dial 17070 and select option 2 any noise heard there should be reported to bt faults calling 151 and reporting a noisey phone line but do not mention broadband if there is any noise there once solved you broadband connection will improve within a few days also it is worth leaving your hub powered up 24/7 with no restarts for 3/5 days if the line is stable then your ip profile will return on its own when the exchange equipment see the line as stable. Changing isps will not help as they all use the same  copper pair betwen your home and the exchange
