Pdf causes problem with opening files: help, please!

The operating system on my computer is Windows xp and I use Adobe version 11.0.6.
I am having a problem that arises when I get a warning message (particularly when opening pdf or xls files): "AcroRd32.exe - Application Error: The exception unknown software exception (Oxc0000409) occurred in the application at location 0x00411e0b". I am then unable to open most files - pdf, xls, Word etc. - until I switch the machine off and then on. I have discussed this problem with Microsoft, who eventually said that it seems to be caused by something related to Acrobat software.
I should be grateful for advice or help from any participant in this forum.
Many thanks in advance.

To test the automount hypothesis, you could create
a new user with a home directory someplace completely different and NFS-free, like /opt
useradd -m -d /opt/testuser -s /bin/bash testuser
passwd testuser
Then login to CDE as the user.
It does sound like there's something broken with $HOME/.dt

Problem With Swf File. Please Help!!!!

Hi! I recently got adobe flash cs4 and i tried to create swf wallpaper (flash lite 1.1), so everything looked good, untill i opened the file. The problem is its constantly blinking, like its refreshing with every second or frame or something. Then i transfered it to my phone and theres no change. I had the same problem with CS3...I attached the sample, if someone cares to see...Please can somebody help me??? Thank you!

I think (at a first look) that you should put a stop() command at each frame of your movie.
Playhead is running through your movie from one frame to another and back to beginning if you don't stop it with stop() command.
What I mean is:
in frame one of your movie put ActionScript: stop();
in frame two of your movie put ActionScript: stop();
etc.
If navigation through your movie is linear, like some animations then don't put this AS in frames, but it seems to me that this will solve your problem.
For more (if this isn't helping) upload your movie along with ActionScript.

Problem with opening files in CDE

Hi!
I have a problem with CDE. When I login as a normal user (not root) I can not open any file in my home directory or in its subfolders using dtfile (CDE File Manager).
When I double click on a text file I get the following error message:
The request to service this action has failed for the following reason:
TT_DESKTOP_ENOENT No such file or directory.
However I am able to read the file with a cat/pico command. It is also possible to open it from Text Editor. => The file exists.
PS. It might be a problem with automonting /export/home/user to /home/user, but I am not sure. I did not meet this problem in previous versions of Solaris.
SYSTEM USED: Solaris 10 x86 / CDE 1.6
Please help!

After recent upgrades Firefox prevents links in several websites from working whilst there is no such problem with other browsers - help please.

Since a recent upgrade of Firefox links in several websites no longer work. They used to be fine and I loved Firefox. The problems do not exist with other browsers e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome. More specifically, on talktalk.co.uk the links to news items do not work, nor do those to "My Account." On Barclays.co.uk the link to print my statement doesn't work - similarly on MBNA.com
There are several suggested solutions around the internet but all are complex, none so far have worked and I don't see why I should need to carry out the suggested tweaks. Firefox used to be great - now it isn't. The problem seems to be with the upgrade. Please help me to get my Firefox to where it should be.

Thank you but please don't waste any more time on this. I have done as I said I would - removed and re- installed Firefox, cleared all cookies and caches (CCleaner) - still doesn't work. As I said at the start, the problem is not confined to Talktalk - it applies to several other sites and links. The problem does not occur with Internet Explorer nor with Google Chrome so I am now using those.

Problem with my Macbook - HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Hello, and please help!
This is my second 1.83ghz 1 gb ram 80 gb hard drive Macbook. The first one mooed and had a buzzy display. This one has been perfect for three weeks. Have loved it. But today, my girlfriend shut it down, apparently properly, we took it out of it's case to use it and the fan was on FULL blast. Even though the computer was off! It then wouldn't turn on for ages. The macbook was very, very hot at this point.
Eventually it restarted when the fan went off ten minutes later. The battery level had gone from 80% to 28%. And then it said 'Mac OS X unexpetedly quit' and carried on as normal.... for the moment.
My girlfriend said 'it's done it once before' too.
Any heads up on this? Many thanks in advance.
Paddy

It definitly sounds like she instructed the computer to shut down, but did not wait for the Mac OS to actually shut off the computer befre closing the lid. Doing so suspends activity and puts the computer into sleep mode where it still uses power. If you put the computer in a bag, the heat will build up, and I would expect it do do as you described.
Ask your girlfriend if she waited for the screen to turn black or not. If she did wait for the screen to turn black, then you definitly have a problem that should be taken up with AppleCare, or Apple.
If this post was helpful, please mark it as such.

Backup causing problems with IFS files being locked

We are having occasional but significant problems with our regular IFS backups. The symptom is that random SAP batch jobs, or tp processes will fail overnight. These seem to be related to the IFS backup running at the time, and appear to be that batch jobs are unable to write their log file, or a tp process will fail due to being unable to access a file of some sort (usually log or /usr/sap/trans/tmp files).
Is there a way of making an IFS backup 'online' so that it does not lock the files but simply gets a fuzzy copy of the file?
Am I missing something?
Thanks, Andy.

Hi Andy,
what you prefer, does not exist .... There is a special AS/400 IFS online backup - but this is properitry and is not specially supported.
I would suggest to exclude the global directory /sapmnt/sid/global und /usr/sap/trans/tmp - as long as you backup the trans-dir this could always happen - even when FAR more rarely - because sometimes the other directories are needed as well.
I typically setup the systems that way, that the global directories are not included. In your case you should exclude trans/tmp as well ...

I have a problem with opening files

When I try to open a file by using the ctrl+o or by going to the "open file" on the menu bar, it will not open the file I'm trying for.
It seems to hang the program or shuts it down completely.
This also happens when I hit the escape key or use the "cancel" button.
does anyone else have this trouble?

It should unzip if you double-cick.
What are you seeing happen when you do that?
Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

Problems with opening file with while loop

Greetings everyone,
This is probably a quick question, but I am familiarizing myself how to open data files in Labview. The attached code works if you enter a file from the folder button on the front panel. However, if the path is blank and you hit the run (arrow) button, a dialog box comes up and asks for the file.
I select the file, but the dialog box keeps coming up. I think this has something to do with my while loop. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks!

TheLT,
1. crossrulz was right. The Read FromSpreadsheet File.vi opens and closes the file each time it is called. If no file path is present at the input when it is called, it will pop up a file dialog.
2. LabVIEW uses a dataflow paradigm. In your program the effect of this is that the File path control is read almost immediately when the program is started and never again after that. So, if the program is already running when the file is selected in that control, the new value is never read and the value (empty) in the control when the rpogram started is used.
3. The fix is to use an event structure with a file path Value Changed event to detect when the control has a value entered and then read the file.
4. Sequence structures obscure code, make it difficult to modify and extend code, and can almost always be eliminated by effective use of dataflow. Local variables should not be used just to pass data around. Wire is always the best way when possible. In your program adding a few wires allows elimination of the sequence structure and the local variables.
5. Your graph loop should have some kind of delay or wait. No need for it to run as fast as the processor will allow - and to hog all the CPU time - to repeatedly put the same data onto the graph. This is another place where an event structure is appropriate. Only update the graph when the X-Axis or Y-Axis selections have changed. Note: Accepted best practice is to use only one event structure in a program, although there are a few advanced cases where multiple event structures are appropriate. You only need one.
6. If the slected file does not contain the "endheader" string, the program will never stop. Add a test for EOF to stop the program if the End of File is reached without finding the flag.

IOS 8.0.2 update causing problems with wifi connectivity..please help

latest update having problems ...please help..!!!!!!!!!!

Just a quick snapshot of my chain of events. I’m currently on my fourth iPhone 6 Plus 64GB here in London, UK. Every time I have spoken to AppleCare and told them that I have gone through all the Wi-Fi troubleshooting methods possible they have asked me to get a brand new retail replacement as I’m within my 14 day return period. I’ve been experiencing the following issues:
Wi-Fi disconnects and switches to 4G (Restart required for temp fix)
Wi-Fi is still active but there is no traffic or activity– often when in sleep mode for long periods of time. (Toggle Wi-Fi on/off for temp fix)
Wi-Fi disconnects and cannot find any networks (restart required for temp fix)
This has been occurring on both iOS 8 and 8.0.2
The issues are the same on both my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks
This is affecting my ip6+ and 5s (5s used to work perfect on ios7 on same networks) – My MBP-R and all other devices run perfectly on my network.
I spoke to AppleCare again yesterday and asked for their advice as its now my fourth iPhone in just under a month. This time they said that apple were fully aware of the Wi-Fi problem and that new repair tickets were not being raised for their engineers as they are already working hard to get this resolved. They also said they could see all the issues raised on the apple discussions boards which they usually don’t admit too! I asked what to do next and the advisor apologised and said this is clearly a software glitch and will be resolved in the next update. I asked for a timescale but unfortunately none was given.
As stated above I have tried all the troubleshooting methods discussed on forums and on tech websites but the only thing that gives me a stable connection without any disconnects (especially on my 6 plus) is turning cellular/mobile data off when I know I’m going to be on Wi-Fi for a sustained period of time (e.g. at home or work). I appreciate this is annoying but it’s the best temp fix until an update comes out.
Hope it helps everyone who is having issues with their devices that have cellular functionality.
Any comments welcome

Problems with opening files in correct app

Hi guys
Recently we have switched over at my company to OSX tiger. I work for a design firm doing artwork for various clients in the retail sector. We have a bank of logos and images on file that we use, mostly Illustrator eps saved in version 10 of the application. We are having problems opening these files in the right app. It keeps defaulting to opening in Photoshop. When we change the settings in get info and apply them to all, all our photoshop eps try and open in Illustrator. This is proving a real pain especially when opening the files from Quark after double clicking on the image and pressing the edit original button. Is there any way we can tell the system to open Illustrator files in Illustrator and Photoshop files in Photoshop.
Cheers Thom

Hi, Thom.
You wrote: "We have a bank of logos and images on file that we use, mostly Illustrator eps saved in version 10 of the application.

When we change the settings in get info and apply them to all, all our photoshop eps try and open in Illustrator."You are describing the procedure in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing the application that opens a document."
The problem is due to the fact that a given file type or extension, e.g. .eps, can be bound via "Change All" to only one application. If you bind (set the default application) all .eps to Illustrator, that's what they'll all open in.
For the situation you have, you need to bind the documents individually to the specific application. If you can gather a selection of the documents, you can use the contextual menu of the selection (Control-click or right-click the selection), hold the Option key, select "Always open with..." and select the desired application. The selected documents will open in that application and they will henceforth be bound to it until you again change the documents default application.
You can reset all the default bindings you've defined by using the Tiger-specific procedure in my "Resetting Launch Services" FAQ. Start with Step 6 since you also want to eliminate user-defined bindings.
Good luck!

Problems with opening file

When downloading a paper model from Disney Experience, all seems ok but.....I download to a zip program, extract and view and select open with Adobe, which advises it can not recognise the file. The Disney program REQUIRES Adobe reader and i have previously downloaded many models successfully but not this time. Disney Experience advise their program is working ok. Can anyone advise a solution please.

No, it does not have a .pdf extension, nor does it show an address. The
Adobe window shows: Adobe Reader could not open 'station_model 1[1]'
because it is either not a supported file or because the file has been
damaged....
I have re-installed windows 7(upgrade), the same thing happens.
There are six files to download, each one refuses to appear as .pdf.

Pdf causes problem with opening files: help, please!
