Compiling in Vista

Question. I do have NetBeans, but I am a beginner and am learning Flow Control. I have been using Notepad as my editor and compiling my programs using javac at the command prompt. This worked fine under XP. I purchased a new computer, which unfortunately came with Vista and am finding that Vista won't allow class files to be created. Is there a way around this?

Program Files is a special directory in Vista, and the User access control rules don't allow you to create anything in there without escalating privileges to admin level. (acutally in Vista you can't even rename a file in that location without giving the UAC permission to do so, which mean that you get two warnings if you create a new directory, and then rename it)
The simple solution to this is to move your code to a user space location (you will want to do that for anything other than trivial cases anyway). Then add your java/bin to your execution path (this will save you typing the fully qualified name each time you want to run javac, java etc).

Is DAQmx and LV 8.0 compatible with vista

I think I know the unfortunate answer but I made some minor (mostly cosmetic changes) to an application previously developed with LV 8.0 daq mx 8.4? (HS-DIO calls) and windows XP. I recompiled under 8.0 and Vista (New daq drivers as well 8.5?) and sent it to run on the same PC with XP. Program loaded fine executed but no DAQ communications. I am trying to see if I changes code by mistake or is there an incomaptibility with daqmx and labview 8.0 compiled with vista but run on XP.

LV 8.0 is not officially Vista compatible. The first version rated Vista compatible is LV 8.2.1. Using different drivers doesn't help your cause, but sometimes doesn't cause problems.
The easiest way to determine for sure if you've run into a Vista incompatibility is to take the original code that worked and rebuild it in Vista and see if it runs on the XP PC.

Compiled bridge cs5

Hi,
I dont have a compiler or maybe v c++ installed by default I am not used to compile.
The bridge cs5 sdk have dlls to be compiled apparently.

JPD

Hi Robert,
I'm a developer from Br team. Thanks for reporting Br. problems.
It seems like a memory issue. Please try this to help us identify the root cause:
1. Disable all startup scripts (Edit->Preferences->Startup Scripts->Disable All), then restart Br.
2. When Br is running, kill "SwitchBoard" process in task manager.
3. When do Copy&Move operations, don't use Drag&Drop, try to use "Move To / Copy To" menu. (A known issue of Bridge, should be fixed in later versions)
Does the crash still happens?
Thanks very much!

Problem - Scanner.java file not found

Hello all, I've been having a problem with a Java installation on windows vista. I've installed both the Java 2 1.4.2_16 sdk, and the Java EE 5 update 3 sdk. However, neither install contains the Scanner.java file... On my desktop running XP, this is not the case. I've tried reinstalling but to no avail. My classpath is set correctly because my programs compile that import java.util.*; But when I create a scanner object I get the dreaded can't resolve symbol error, but only when I compile under vista... Any suggestions? Thanks in advance :)

Scanner was implemented beginning with v1.5x, and comes in the JDK SE, not the EE.

Programming in a 64 bit OS

If I buy Vista 64 and continue my programming, would there be any issues running my program (compiled in vista 64) and running it on a 32bit system? Or is this a non-issue?

As long as you're writing pure Java code, it's practically a non-issue.

A whole compiler mess that needs cleaning for a Vista computer.

Hey, I'm new to java starting a few hours ago and I'm already feeling defeated how I can't get past step 2. I'm trying to get this compiler working.
I've run through the forums and tried proposed fixes for the Error "*'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file*". But the darn thing doesn't work and I think I've made it worse
Here's what I've done and what I think I've...done wrong:
-I've downloaded and installed JDK 6.
-After the Error message I tried setting CLASSPATH to the bin file of my jdk.
-Then I figured "PATH" is not "CLASSPATH" (first mistake) and I added the address to "PATH"
-After the thing still didn't work I tried deleting all in PATH except the address to the bin in jdk.
Now, I'm still getting the same message and I feel the strange touch of insanity taking hold of my presently frustrated mind. Is there anyone who can step me through this?

If you "bung" the .jar files in lib/ext then what happens when you install a new update e.g. jdk1.6.0_14 ;)
It's the reason why I haven't updated yet because I have a bunch of stuff floating around (i.e. JSR-80 usb stuff, etc.) I have to track down and rewire to the new install should I choose to get it.
I think the latest Java3D installer made its own separate folder outside of the jdk's folder for this particular reason.

Adobe Air ServerSocket not Working the same on XP/Vista/7

I'm having a strange problems with an air socket server i've written.
I have an Air application written using Flash Builder 4. It's basically a simple HTTP server. It's purpose it to open a server on a specific port and serve files (both html and swf) out to a web browser.
When i run the air application on my desktop (windows 7, firefox 4.0b11, ie8, flash builder 4 compiled with flex sck 4.1.0) everything works correctly. Whether i run the server through the Flash Builder debugger or actually do the full packaging and install as a standalone air app then run it using the Air Runtime like any user would. I load up the server, punch in the address from anywhere and the page loads, and the requested swf displays correctly. While the server is running on my desktop i've tested clients including Windows XP and Vista with IE8, HTC Evo4g Android phone, and the Playstation 3 browser. From any tested client with the server running on my desktop all requests are handled correctly and pages/swfs load and display correctly.
The problem comes when i run the air app on another computer. When i package it and install it on one of my two test systems (Windows XP and Windows Vista) things start to go wonky. The Air app loads on the two test systems but when a client tries to use their web browser to request a page things don't display correctly. The client can load the html file fine but the swf that it receives from the server does not display. I can check the log on the status server and see the HTTP GET being processed, and the file sent. However, the browser simply displays a blank box where the SWF should be. With the server running on either of my two test boxes (XP and Vista) the same clients who can connect and display html and swf's delivered from the server experience this problem.
I think i've eliminated browser request as the problem from testing different browsers on different OS's on each of the test installations. As best I can tell, the problem is with the server side of the app. The server uses the SocketServer class to listen for a connection and then writes out the HTML headers and content to the socket manually, i'm not using any external libraries for writing to the socket.
here's the code for writing to the socket when a swf is requested.
     var content:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
     var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
     stream.open(file, FileMode.READ);
     stream.readBytes(content);
     stream.close();
     socket.writeUTFBytes("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n");
     socket.writeUTFBytes("Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash\r\n");
     socket.writeUTFBytes("Content-Length: " + content.length + "\r\n\r\n");
     socket.writeBytes(content);
I don't believe the problem is with the socket write since it works on my desktop but not when the server is running on another. I'm wondering if the problem is with an external system dependancy. Are there any external libraries, visual c++ runtimes, tcp/ip libraries that Air uses to fulfil requests to sockets on different operating systems/versions? I've been searching around the web and browsing through adobe live docs for a few hours on this but can't seem to find a resolution anywhere. If more detail is needed, please let me know. Any help would be much appreciated.

I appreciate you taking the time to look at this. Good to know I'm not completely crazy, that makes me feel a little better.
The 178774 is bytesLoaded()   and 1096810 is bytesTotal() as seen by the swf.
That's what i was experiencing. The issue you're seeing with it running on vista of the swf apparently only loading 180k of the 1 meg is what i'm experiencing. For me that happens when the server side of things is running on my XP or Vista machine. On Win 7 it works fine. Also, for mp3's it seems to only download the first couple seconds. When i stream an mp3 from the server it only plays a couple of seconds and stops.
Not sure if the index.html file that it serves out is small enough that it gets it in one cycle but for larger files it closes out the socket before sending all the data.
If i get some free time tomorrow i'll see about getting an Ubuntu virtual machine going and test it there as well. I don't have access to a mac to try it on OSX.

Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista

Update 12-Dec-2008: Oracle has published NOTE 559067.1 -- How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 - hence 10.1.2.3 - on Windows Vista, 24-OCT-2008 with some installation help.
Update 07-July-2008: Added text at the bottom showing how to find patchsets for Forms 10g.
Update 29-May-2008: This thread was started in November, 2007. In January, 2008, Oracle released Patch 3 for Forms 10g, which makes Forms 10g compatible with Windows Vista. As time permits I'll try to keep the information in this post up to date. Updated information will be inserted as blue text.

Original message begins here:
This is a second thread I am posting to outline the steps I have used to install Forms on a Windows Vista Home Basic laptop. The other thread describes installing Forms 6i:
Forms 6i installed and running on Windows Vista
Please read through the initial part of that post for the background. I realize Oracle has not certified Forms 10g to run on Vista, but the time has come for my associates and I to upgrade our old computers to new desktop/laptop platforms, and I would hate to acquire XP machines and be stuck with them for the next 5 years. (Note: Since first posting this message, Oracle has certified Forms 10g Patch 3 (version 10.1.2.3.0) to run on Vista) So after another person informed me that he had Forms installed and running on Vista, I went ahead and bought one. I found that as long as I set the compatibility mode to run Forms programs as Windows XP (and a few other changes), Forms 6i and 10g run quite satisfactorily.
Update 29-Jan-2008: Unfortunately, it turns out that the Forms 10g Builder running on Vista had a major flaw: If you try to develop a form, the Builder will crash if you try to compile a procedure that calls another procedure in the form that has errors. The problem is reported and described in this thread: Error compiling a form under Vista
Update 12-Mar-2008: Installing Patch 3 on Vista does not help with this problem -- the Builder still crashes in the same situation.
Update 25-July-2008: Applying Patch 7047034 has corrected the problem. See this link within this thread: Forms 10g: Installing Patch 7047034 on Windows Vista
Webutil note: I am stuck in a Forms 6i client/server world, so all my forms must run in that environment. Therefore I have not used any Webutil software, and I do not know whether that part will run under Vista.
Internet Explorer note: On Windows Vista, IE CANNOT be used to run the Web Forms runtime. It crashes immediately when you try to run a form. Instead, I can use either Firefox (Firefox 2, Firefox 3.0 Crashes with Forms 10g) or Netscape, as long as they are set to disable java. [ Correction: IE7 on Vista now runs the Forms 10g forms. You just need to add "?config=jpi" to the browser URL when starting the Web Forms session. More IE/Vista info: [url=http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=642973]Vista JInitiator Problem ]
The Oracle Developer Suite download page:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html
Oracle Developer Suite Installation Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_07//doc/dl/core/B16012_04/toc.htm
The steps below are those I followed to install Forms 10g (version 10.1.2.0.2)
I. Preliminary system changes in Windows
When I started installing, I got the following error message: Install has encountered an error while
 attempting to verify your virtual memory settings.
 Please verify that the sum of the initial sizes of
 the paging files is at least 256 MB.To fix this: Go to Control Panel, System and Maintenance, View amount of RAM and processor speed (under "System"),
Advanced system settings (in left "Tasks" column), Advanced tab, Settings (under "performance"), Advanced tab:
Virtual Memory shows a "Total paging file size for all drives: 2337MB.
Click "change", Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives"
Click "custom size:", set Initial size to: 2048, Max to 4096
Click set button, then OK, get message:The changes you have made require you to restart your computer before
 they can take effect.Restart the computer.
II. Installing Forms 10g
1. Download two files from Oracle:
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1.zip (626,122,752 bytes)
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk2.zip (236,880,881 bytes)
2a. Before extracting, it is a good idea to shut down any virus protection software. It can sometimes prevent some files from being created.
2b. Extract both into the C:\oracle directory, as disk1 and disk2.
3. Using Windows Explorer, change the properties of setup.exe in the C:\oracle\disk1 folder. (In windows explorer, right click, properties, Compatibility tab.) Change the compatibility to run as Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
4. Right click setup.exe and click "Run as administrator"
5. Select "Installation type" = Complete (1.11 GB)
6. Received this message:Windows Firewall has blocked this program from
accepting incoming network connections. If you
unblock this program, it will be unblocked on all
public networks that you connect to.
C:\users\steve\appdata\local\temp\orainstall...
2007-10-29_11-59-08am\jre\1.4.2\bin\javaw.exeI clicked "Unblock"
7. Received this message: "Provide outgoing mail server information" I entered the smtp mail server that I use.
8. A summary screen displayed showing 274 products under New Installations.
I clicked the Install button.
9. Received this message: You can find a log of this install session at:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2007.....log
10. The installation completed. Installed products shows Forms 10.1.2.0.2
III. After the install completed
1. Create a shortcut to the Forms 10 Builder on the Desktop.
On the shortcut line, after the .exe, add *userid=userxxx/pwxxx@orcl* so Builder automatically logs into 10g database. If you do step 4 below (creating an easily-accessible folder to use for your forms) change the "Start in" path on the shortcut so it points to that folder. Otherwise, Forms Builder will not find referenced objects and PLL libraries when it opens a form. Also do the same on the Start, All Programs shortcut for the Forms Builder.
Edit: After applying Patch 3, the following steps are not necessary.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
Set checkbox: "Run this program as as an administrator." (Without this, FormBuilder will NOT open a PLL library.)
Click the "Show settings for all users" and change values there.
2. Copy "Start OC4J Instance" icon to desktop.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
The first time it runs, I got a Windows popup to unblock program named Java. I clicked "Unblock".
3. tnsnames.ora:
Rename C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
to: tnsnames_orig.ora
If you created a tnsnames.ora file for Forms 6i, just copy it to the path above. If not, do this:
Create a new tnsnames.ora file, copying entries old file on my old laptop, which contains all the connections I use.
Delete the old laptop entry, replace with new entry for the new local ORCL connection on new laptop from tnsnames file renamed from the c:\oracle\... ...\10.2.0\db_1\ path.
4. Optional: Create an easily accessible folder to store fmb files:
C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
You don't really want to keep drilling into C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms, and then find your .fmb file among the several dozen oracle-supplied files.
To create a folder named .1, you have to open a CMD.exe (Windows DOS) window, and type the Make Directory command:
MD .1
That will create the folder within the current directory -- mine defaults to C:\users\steve
Note: If you also need to use Forms 6i like me, DO NOT EVER open a .fmb file in the Forms 10 Builder from the Forms 6i folder. If you compile it, or even worse, save the .fmb, Forms 6i *cannot ever* access the file. Instead, always use the File Manager (Windows Explorer) to copy the fmb from the fmb6 folder into the fmb10 location.
5. Change the Forms 10g Default.env file using a text editor.
This file replaces all the settings originally written to the Windows Registry (GREAT idea, Oracle! I hate the registry.) No more Regedit. The default.env file is located at: (DevSuiteHome_1 path)\forms\server\default.env
Locate line with: FORMS_PATH= and add:
;C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
Add a new line:
FORMS_MMAP=FALSE
The above allows compiling an fmx while the form is running.
Add a new line:
FORMS_ROWLOCK_OPTIMIZATION=FALSE
(This fixes Oracle bug number 3949854, which prevents automatic skipping if the same value is typed over another value. TAR 4806199.993 Automatic Skip failure...) See bug 4068896
Add a new Line:
FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=False
This allows use of Query-Where window in enter query, after entering a colon in any input field. Without this, Forms returns FRM-40367: Invalid criteria in field nnn in example record. Oracle shut it down to prevent "sql injection" attacks.
6. Jiniator setup:
Run file jinit.exe in C:\oracle\DevSuiteHime_1\jinit\jinit.exe
It installs Jinitiator 1.3.1.22.
I installed it in C:\oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\
For Firefox, make sure a copy of file \bin\NPJinit13122.dll resides in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins.
For Netscape, the path is: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\plugins
7. Browser settings
See the note above about using Firefox 2 and not Firefox 3!
In Firefox 2 go to: Tools-> Options-> Content
Uncheck the "Enable Java" checkbox
--Firefox terminates if this is not done!
Note: After my system automatically installed updates to either java or Firefox, re-check the "Enable Java" setting. I am suspicious that one of these installs re-enables java in the browser.
Also note: some web sites cannot display properly if java is disabled. Example: U.S. time website: http://www.time.gov Use Internet Explorer to view these.
In Netscape make the same changes as Firefox. Without disabling java, it also terminates when you try to run a form.
Creating a url to use in the browser:
Try this:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
If it does not work, change the 8889 port number as follows:
Open file: C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\install\portlist.ini
Note the number in line:
Oracle Developer Suite HTTP port = 8889
Use the number as the port number.
You can also change the 127.0.0.1 to the computer name:
Control Panel, System and Maintenance, See the name of this computer (under "System"). Mine is "steve-PC"
So the alternate URL is: http://steve-PC:8889/forms/frmservlet
To try out the URL, start the OC4J instance set up above. Then start either Netscape or Firefox, and enter the URL. You should get a welcome screen.
If the above URL works, start up the Forms Builder, and open Edit, Preferences. On the General tab, uncheck the "Build before running" check box (optional). On the Runtime tab, set the "Application Server URL to the url above.
To run a real form, add this to the URL after frmservlet, (with no spaces):
?form={formname}&userid={userxxx}/{passwordyyy}@{connect-string}
but replace the parts in curly braces with the appropriate values. Example:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=ABC&userid=abc123/zyx@orcl
Setting up Forms Builder to directly run a form in the browser:
Run the Forms Builder. Go to Edit, Preferences, Runtime tab.
Set the Application Server URL to:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
(or use whatever URL string you developed above)
Set the Web Browser Location to:
"C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\navigator.exe"
(or an equivalent to run the Firefox browser).
8. FORMSWEB.CFG file changes
The file is located at:
C:\ORA_DS_101202\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\server\formsweb.cfg
I changed the following two lines in the file, but these are my personal preferences:
separateFrame=true
lookandfeel=Generic
9. FMRWEB.RES file changes
For Oracle help: Enabling Key Mappings
The file fmrweb.res defines actions (triggers that run) when a function key is pressed while running Forms. The one released has unix-style key mapping, but I prefer keys originally mapped for Windows PC Forms users. There is a fmrpcweb.res in the same folder that can be renamed to fmrweb.res.
In the C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms path, I renamed fmrweb.res to fmrweb_orig.res.
I have a file that I prefer to use, so I put it into the folder as fmrweb.res. The contents are listed below. It is organized so the most important keys are listed alphabetically at the top (URFD column is the sort column), followed by a group of less-important keys. These are keys that are available to users, but they either would not use, or are disabled within most forms. The URFD column in the second set starts with a hex A0 character, which is a high-order space, so collates after normal alphabetic characters. (Note: If you want to copy the text below and use it, the hex A0 character has been changed by the forum software to a space. So you would need to use a text editor with hexadecimal character capabilities to replace the space with the original character. )
My file has special keys defined for F2 (I use it for a debugging Key-F2 trigger in my forms), and a "Cursor to Home" F12 function. All the rest are pretty much the same as in the released fmrpcweb.res file, only mine are organized alphabetically on the URFD column.
The Web Forms fmrweb.res file is editable using any programming editor (NOT MS Word!!!). The old Client/Server key mapping file, fmrusw.res, could only be changed using the Oracle Terminal program (and it is a pain to use).
Here is the main part of my fmrweb.res file:#

I followed your instructions and installed Developer Suite 10G on Windows Vista Home Premium edition. I have Oracle 11G DB running on the same machine.
Two points, Steve:
1. When I tried to set the maximum virtual memory to 6110 an error message displayed from Windows and told me that I can't set the maximum virtual memory to more than 4096. I set it to 4090 and it worked and I got nothing wrong during the installation process.
2. After installing JInitiator and disabling Java on Firefox I called the http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet page and everything seemed to be OK because the Oracle Forms Services logo appeared and then a successful installation message appeared , but as I clicked (ok) to continue a gray screen appeared inside the browser (like the one displayed when you try to run a Java applet inside a browser) and then I wait to death till something appears but sadly nothing. I just get a blank gray screen inside my Firefox browser.
Do you have any idea what to do to solve the problem?
Regards

I am not able to compile forms and my form application is close

Hi All,
There is strange problem arising in my system. I am not able compile the forms from my machine.MY machine is having Vista as OS and I have installed the latest 10g release of forms (the vista compaitable version). Also I am not able to open any of the existing and developed forms for one One Oracle Retail product. The existing forms were build on 10g version 2. (10.0.2). But when I am trying to open the forms, the application hangs immediately and then its says explorer is closing, the program has some problems. The same error comes in both the cases.
Thanks & Regards,
Debabrata

Debabrata,
First You must read this topic from Steve Cosner:
Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista
After You must to install Forms 10g under Window Vista following the instruction in the topic.
At this time Form Builder work fine; but the Compiler called from Framework return errors and the program hang.
I have tried to run frmcmp.exe outside the Form Builder and the program newly abort.
I have sended my Form to Steve Cosner and I attend a reply.
Bye
Gaetano

Java en Vista (compatibility)

Are there any recent articles/websites about compatibility between Java and Vista, Especially older versions of the JRE, like 1.4.x and 1.5.x ?
I found http://weblogs.java.net/blog/chet/archive/2006/10/java_on_vista_y.html
Or is anyone here working on Vista with an older version of the JRE who wants to share his findings?

Why would you worry about older version of the JDK running on Vista, since newer version of the JDK will quite happily execute code compiled for older version of Java?
If it is a question of making sure that programs still behave properly with older VMs, for previous version of Windows, then I reckon you should keep an older version of Windows around too.

How do I run totally sperate VI's from a compiled application

Hi, I have hit a wall here and am not sure which direction I should be moving in. A relevant detail, running LV8.2 and application builder on Vista/XP. Any suggestions on the approach I should be taking would be most helpful.
I have a top level application (compiled in the application builder) from there I wish to run other VI's that are elsewhere in my local network file system. So the top level application gives the user a standard interface, from which they can then run the other VI's which are task specific (but that detail does not matter to the user).
As time goes by I will be adding more of the task oriented vi's to the system and I want avoid having to make these task oriented vi's part of the top level application as maintenance will be more painful. Having the ability to fix or add a new individual task oriented VI's without having to recompile the whole top level application is the aim.
On top of this I do need to pass some info to the task oriented VI and obtain some information back from it.
Some points that I can't get my head around at this stage are -
1. The task oriented VI's - do I have to compile these with application builder or can I call an uncompiled VI and run it in the top level application(I think not)?
2. How do I call the task oriented VI from the top level application - I have looked at "Open VI Reference" and "Open Application Reference" and am not sure how these apply to this situation.
So any thoughts would be appreciated, otherwise I am stuck with a lot of tedious trial and error to figure this out.
Many Thanks.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can use the concept of "Plug-ins" in your current architecture.
I have attched a simple calculator vi which actually lets you know how to use this feature in LabVIEW.
I have created an exe for my Main.vi (called calc.exe)which would serve as the standard user interface. There are plugins by name Add, sub,mul and dev.vi
These vi are specifically kept in the Plugins directory so that "main" (the calc.exe) knows where to look for these vi's and if present they will get populated to the control called "operations".
So your task oriented vi's could be made as plugin vi's
Also, the the run time engine in LV can load files with ".vi" extension. so if you are creating a new vi to perform different task, create a seperate vi and then place them in the plugin folder. Please note that the connector pane must be identical for all the plugin vi's and if you think that your plugin vi's have different input and output terminals then create a cluster for all the inputs(or outputs) and flatten them to string or variant so that ou can maintain a same connector Pane pattern.

LV 8.6 will Not Compile in LV 2010 - Labview 10.0 Development System Has Encountered a Problem and Needs to Close

I submitted this support request to NI on 8/12/2010.
When I compile my LV 8.6 app in LV2010 I get this error:
"LabVIEW 10.0 Development System has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I was told to do a "Mass Compile" of my LV 8.6 app in LV2010...this failed too.
I was then told to go to each and every vi and "Mass Compile" individually...after about the 50th vi this got old quickly...and it still didn't compile. I then sent NI tech support "my code". The good news is my LV 8.6 app didn't compile with LV2010 @ NI.
My LV 8.6 app compiles and runs great in LV 8.6. I don't want to be left behind with the newer upgrades and I want to move to LV2010. I have lots of LV8.6 code to maintain and I really don't have the time to debug all of my apps.
I was told this will be looked @ in LV2010 SP1.
One note...back up your LV8.6 data before you move to LV2010. Once your LV8.6 code is compiled in LV2010 you will not be able to go back to LV8.6.
I restored all of my LV8.6 code and I'm back working with LV8.6.
It's a tough call, do I stay in LV8.6 and get left behind?
Do I bite the bullet and try to debug this mess in LV2010?
I was told the compiler is completely different in LV2010. That's great, but one reason I have NI Maintenance Agreement is to keep updated with the latest software. I can't afford to re-compile LV code every few years. Like most people, maintaining my Apps with customer's revisions, and modifications is enough work. I don't want more work!
I was told LV2010 SP1 would likely appear in May or June of 2011. I'd hate to break out my old Turbo Pascal apps again...but hey...they still work! My NI maintenance agreement is due this month too, I guess I'll pay NI one more year, and see if they come up with a solution. But if NI doesn't fix this LV8.6 compile in LV2010 problem...I don't see any value staying current with LV software.
I found another Bug with LV2010...you are going to love this one!
There is a new "LV Update Service". Perfect! I like updating my LV software when new patches are available. When I click "update" the update spins over and over "Checking for New Version". I have let it run ALL day with no results...just sits and spins over and over.
OK, I know give NI a break! Yes, LV2010 has a new compiler...and Yes, I will renew my NI maintenance agreement. I just want NI to know failing to compile just one LV8.6 app in LV2010 is not a good idea for customer relations.
Thanks,
Doug

Magic Mouse Guide for Windows 7 and Vista,,,

Hello All,
I recieved my Magic Mouse and it works great under OSX but I couldn't get it working under Windows at all. Searching here and around the web, I've compiled a guide on how I got it working. Hopefully, Apple will release proper drivers in the future but for now, here is what I did:
Turn mouse off...if you have already tried installing, remove the device and then turn the mouse off. To remove it, open Start, type "Devices" and press enter. Select "remove device"...Now let's get started:
1) Update the Bluetooth Driver.
Open Device Manager.
Start > (Right Click Computer) > Properties. Click Device Manager in upper left of this window. Double click (Bluetooth Radios), Right click on "Generic Bluetooth" and select "Properties". Open the Driver tab and then select "Update Driver". Click "Browse my computer for driver software". On the next screen, towards the bottom, click on "Let me pick from a list of device drivers...". Uncheck "Show compatible hardware". Select "Apple" and then "Apple built in bluetooth". Done
2)In the notification area of the task bar, right click on Bluetooth icon and select "Add a device". Turn on your mouse. It will show up on screen. Right click on the mouse icon. Select Properties. Select the "Services" tab and check the "Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc". The mouse may disappear from the screen since it's been added. Windows is still looking for other devices so click "Cancel".
3) Disable power management for Bluetooth Radio. Open device manager, open Bluetooth Radios and right click on "Apple Bluetooth". Select the "Power Management". Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
4) Reboot computer. Mouse should be working in Windows 7/Vista now.
* If you reboot and your mouse is still not working, click on the mouse two or three times. On my system, the mouse will not begin working until I do this, every time I boot my system. *
Hope this helps,
Al

if you go to
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL952
then download this package
and extract the AppleWirelessMouse.exe or AppleWirelessMouse64.exe
you then can run this on your windows PC and execute this
this enables scrolling functionality of the Magic Mouse
do not execute the downloaded file directly because it will tell you it doesn't run on this computer ( which is logical because of pc hardware =/= Mac hardware )
i hope it works for everybody
for me it does..
it recognizes my Magicg Mouse and i now also have scrolling enabled

Compilations on I-pod vs iphone

I have "compilations" set to off on my i-tunes so that all my artists are listed, even when they only have an individual track on a compilation.
When using my i-pod, albums with various artists still show as one album.
However, in the i-phone, when I download exactly the same music, a various artist album is shown as multiple albums (for each individual track) rather then just one album. This therefore makes it very difficult to scroll through my albums on my i-phone.
Is there any way I can get the i-phone to do the same as my i-pod - i.e. list compilations as just one album?
Thanks

Vista drivers problems Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Noteb

First thing to do: haveyour systemchecked out, if windows says the hardware is failing there may really be something wrong with it.
If the SB card works in an XP machine there may be a problem in the the PCI slot or controller on the motherboard, either way have a tech shop look at it. If thehardware allchecks out: before putting the card back in completely delete the old driver and software, download the new one without installing it, then put the card in and windows should try to auto-install with the new driver.P.S. the platinum version is the one with thecontrol panel that slots into a dri've bay, if you have one of those, it's a platinum, if not, it's a regulHi all, how are you
I have a Sony VAIO VGN-SZ430N/B notebook, and I'm trying to install Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook on it (Unfortunately, the notebook came with windows vista business from factory).
This notebook has a Texas Instruments PCMCIA controller.
Under "Device Manager" the PCMCIA controller is described as "Texas
Instruments PCI-8x2/7x2/6x2 CardBus Controller", but on Sony's
webpage the driver that seems to be related to it is "Texas
Instruments PCI74 Integrated FlashMedia Controller Driver".
It is kind of all in one solution from Texas Instruments (PCMCIA
controller, Memory Card reader, and Firewire controller).
Please, may someone help me to answer the questions bellow
1)Are there any kind of compatibility problem between this notebook PCMCIA controller (described above), and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook
2)I've already brought this notebook to Sony's support service, so they could verify if there is any kind of hardware problem with the notebook. Sony's technician wasn't able to find any hardware problems on it, but I'm experiencing the problem described below:
2.)Every time that I plug this sound card on my notebook, and I try to install Creative's latest windows Vista drivers(Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Driver 2.2.0002), thus It leads me to a Blue Screen during the driver installation process. Please, Does somebody know what could be this problem root causeIt is very weird, even if i try to install this sound card on clean windows vista install, then it leads me to blue screen. Besides, I have another PCMCIA card from another manufacturer, and I was able to install its windows vista drivers with no problem.(It sounds that Creative labs' vista drivers is the problem root cause as I've tested this sound card on a different notebook with windows xp and It worked fine).
3)Does anyone know if creative is planning to release a windows vista driver that allows the users to use all of this sound card featuresSo far the latest driver available doesn't support even DVD-Audio. Have creative labs discontinued this product
I appreciate any help you can give me,
thanks in advance,
Rogerr ZS.

The best advice I can give is to fully remove ALL Creative software.We've compiled a list of entries that will cause problems here. It's very important before installing newer files.http://nomoregoatsoup.wordpress.com/...tall-problems/Then install some better drivers and see if that cures your issues. The 2.2.0002 drivers are really, really awful, 99% of people I've spoken to had problems with them. I personally like 2.5.0002 Hope this helps.
