Wireless not working in linux, but works fine in windows vista

Hello!
I have installed Unbreakable Enterprise Linux 4 in a dual boot config. with Window Vista on a Compaq Presario laptop. After install completed I found that my on board Broadcom Wireless Adapter (Dell 1390 Mini PC card) was not recognized. I have tried installing NDISwrapper versions 1.48 and later 1.47 (after uninstalling 1.48) because everytime I got to the "modprobe ndiswrapper" received a fatal error about an unknown symbol or parameter, and on install I also encountered a "CONFIG_4KSTACKS" error as well. The good part is the light on my laptop for the wireless adapter finally came on and the driver (bcmwl5.inf) appears to be installed and the wireless adapter identified as being present, but it still doesn't show up in the network manager gui interface. So I am out of ideas if any one can give me a suggestion for a solution I would appreciate it.

Hi there,,,,,
I have Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 installed and Intel wifi 5100 card installed on my laptop. Wireless card does not work in Linux it works fine with Vista, I have dual boot. I have downloaded and installed the microcode for the wireless card for Linux,,,it is now active but it does not take ip address from dhcp and nor does it connect when i supply manual ip. it does not even scan for any wireless network. I have WEP enabled on my wireless network. It just says disconnected.....
Please help me.....i have been trying to get this thing work for 3 weeks.

After the latest update of iTunes does my iPhone and iPod not connect to iTunes but connects fine to Windows?

I recently updated iTunes and when I went to put music on my iPod, however, iTunes could not pick anything up even though windows was. I then tried my iPhone and I had the same issue. I have gone through the steps off this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538, and my problem was not solved. I have also tried reinstalling iTunes and got nothing. What should I do now?

I have also tried reinstalling iTunes and got nothing. What should I do now?
Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

I have a Mac running 10.9.2. My wireless mouse with not scroll in mail but works fine in other applications? Any suggestions?

I have a Mac running 10.9.2. My apple wireless mouse will not scroll in Mail but works fine in other applications.
Any suggestions?

First, see this discussion. If the solution suggested there doesn't work for you, continue.
If you've installed a Mail plugin called "Mail Unread Menu" and you know how to remove it, please do that, then quit and relaunch Mail. Test. Otherwise, see below.
Back up all data.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
2. Repeat with this line:
/Library/Mail/Bundles
This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

People picker is not working for ie11 but working fine for other lower version

i am using sharepoint 2010 and windows authentication
recently i have updated my ie to ie11 and problem goes here.
when i try to select from people picker, there are an unexpected error happened
however when i use other ie version, people picker work fine, what goes wrong?
i have already added my system as trusted site
if there any others thing i miss out?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that People picker is not working for ie11 but working fine for other lower version.
IE 11 is known to have compatibility issues on SharePoint 2010, please make sure to:
first of all, try installing latest update for IE 11 (several compatibility issues were fixed since the first release)
add the site to compatibility view (in IE> Tools> Compatibility view settings> type site name> add)
add the site to trusted sites and set the zone security level to low (in IE> Internet Options> Security> trusted sites> sites>add your site there> ok> custom level> select low> reset> ok)
You can use developer tools (f12) and set browser mode to the version that is most compatible with your environment.

Motion tracking is not working for videos but works for images?

Motion tracking is not working for videos but works for images. When the videos is drop onto the tracking object the videos corner don't appear highlighted. I am working on windows 7 with version 13.1.

Are you within 30 days of purchase for the Premiere Elements 13? And, did you purchase as a download from Adobe? If so, you can
apply for a return/refund for 13. If you purchased elsewhere, then you would be governed by the return/refund policy of the seller.
Adobe no longer sells version 12, so you would have to find a vendor who still has it in stock and purchase it. There is no way to "downgrade"
13 to 12.
What you may want to do is to download and install the Premiere Elements 12 tryout from the following web site to verify that 12 Motion
Tracking works for you; whereas 13 cannot with regard to use of video for the Motion Tracking source media.
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
Apparently this web site does not sell the tryout. It just makes it available for use.
Before I posted my reply to you I looked at Motion Tracking with video source media on both Premiere Elements 12/12.1 and 13/13.1 on the same Windows 7 64 bit computer.
If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm.

The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm. i find this very convenient being a microsoft product. anybody else wonder why this new version happens to not be safari compatible? does anybody know if it works on the PC version of safari? if not, i find this to be a blatant move on microsofts part to bias the safari browser (especially since its basicly new on the window platform). forcing safari/hotmail users to "have" to use another browser to access their hotmail accounts.

I have been successfully using Hotmail and Gmail with Safari for a long time. For roughly the past month, that relationship is rocky at best. At times, one of the following actions suddenly opens Hotmail, but it is a short-lived solution:
(a) Hotmail directly
(b) Hotmail Home>Hotmail
(c) Sign up to Windows Hotmail
(d) Deletion of prescribed cookies, resetting, etc. - made no difference
Both Firefox and Opera work fine with Hotmail - especially Opera is very fast.
In addition, Safari and Gmail does not work with Attachments, but otherwise Gmail is OK.
I suspect I have to wait for a Safari fix because in my case I do not wish to abandon Hotmail, and Safari is a given. I would think that Safari would want to stay competitive with the two biggies, Hotmail and Gmail, which must have large numbers of users.
I certainly would appreciate any other suggested fixes.

After much consideration, today I decided to join Adobe Photoshop CC only to discover it is not available to me as my laptop has Windows Vista. What are my options other than having to buy a new computer or an old version like Ps5 or 6?

1-Do some more reading about a Windows "upgrade version" which, according to my experience, does NOT require you to format your drive... it upgrades over what you have, without disturbing installed programs... at least that is what happened the ONE time I installed an upgrade version, so I can't give a 100% assurance it will work that way with your computer... search link for all things Microsoft http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US
2-Depending on the hardware you have, you may not be able to run CC programs well, if at all
3-CS6 is 3+ years old and is the ONLY non-CC version still being sold... unless you can find a "legal" CS5 somewhere

Videos will not work in Firefox but work fine in windows explorer. why?

I tried to verify my plug-in's and all are enabled. I found where was suggested to remove and reinstall Firefox but that did not fix problem either. I tried to change viewer for videos but still no luck. Not certain why Quicktime doesn't work. Note, videos when browsing will not open but everything else works fine. Videos work fine with windows Explorer, but not Firefox.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

SplashScreen class that works in Linux but not Windows?

OK so I wrote this splashscreen class:
public class SplashScreen extends JWindow {
    public SplashScreen(String imageFile, int msecs) {
        Image imgData = getToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource(imageFile));
        System.out.println(imageFile);
        // Create label with image on it
        ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon(imgData);
        // Create label with image as content
        JLabel imageLabel = new JLabel(image);
        // Add label to content pane
        getContentPane().add(imageLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        // Resize window to match image
        pack();
        // Get the size of the screen and the size of the image
        Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
        Dimension imageSize = imageLabel.getPreferredSize();
        System.out.println(String.format("%d %d", imageSize.width, imageSize.height));
        // Center window on screen
        this.setLocation(screenSize.width/2 - (imageSize.width/2), screenSize.height/2 - (imageSize.height/2));
        // Runnable that handles closing down the screen
        final SplashScreen parent = this;
        final Runnable closeThread = new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                parent.setVisible(false);
                parent.dispose();
        // Thread that simple sleeps and then calls the closer
        final int waitTime = msecs;
        Thread waitThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(waitTime);
                    SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(closeThread);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
        // Display the screen
        setVisible(true);
        // Wait and close
        waitThread.start();
}Which I call thusly:
gui.SplashScreen sc = new gui.SplashScreen("/images/splashscreen.png", 2000);Obviously this is supposed to display the given image on the screen for 2 seconds before disappearing. My problem is that it works exactly like you'd expect in Linux, but when I run it in windows the image doesn't appear. The app loads and runs fine otherwise. I put some print outs in and verified that it looks like it's finding the image correctly, but then it just doesn't display... I'm stumped, does anyone have any clue why this would be a problem on different platforms?

Seriously? I tried it on two different windows machines and it didn't work.... Maybe it has something to do with how netbeans is jarring stuff up.

Pages are working fine in my loacl machine, but whn i compile pages (javacode) at server and running the pages from apps instance, pages are not working correctly. But whn I transfer the class file from local machine to server side page is working perfectly, what would be the reason.How to check the Java/JDK version
D:\>cd jdevbin
D:\jdevbin>cd bin
D:\jdevbin\bin>java -version
java version "1.3.1_01" -- Java Version on local machine
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_01)

You can see the difference of JDK installed on server and on our local machine which can be root cause of the issue

Flash player not loading on http but works on https

I have an issue where flash player shows "movie not loading" on http pages but works fine on https.
I am using windows 7 64 bit, ie9 64 bit, i have tried it with the latest firefox and chrome and i still get the same issue.
This started with flash player 10.3, the 10.2 version did not have this problem and all subsequent versions have the same issue. i am currently using the 11.2 version of flash.
Example: Any flash video on youtube with the address beginning with HTTP, the video screen is black and when you right click you get movie not loading and the correct version of the flash player. If you change the header over to HTTPS the video works fine. this wouldnt be much of a problem except when going to any other website that has flash as its main element but does not have an HTTPS version, you cannot use the page or its features.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, done a clean install, deleted all files and updated every area of my computer but this issue remains. I have read the forums here and done any suggestions listed to no avail and noticed many people have this type of problem. This issue has now been going on for almost 6 months. Can anyone help?
I may have posted this in the wrong forum and I appologize. If so can you please move it to the correct location?

I don't claim to know the solution to your problem, but in your situation I would try either or both administrator install methods: 1) Right-click the downloaded install file, choose "Run as Administrator" and install the software as usual. 2) Try using a different Windows account that you are positively certain has full administrator rights or the actual Administrator login name, install with that account.
Also, make sure you empty the browser cache before retrying the http pages. What about other browser settings, like security or privacy settings? Any add-ons or antivirus browser helper objects?
Do you only use Internet Explorer, or is this issue the same in Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari?
Good luck, hope you get the error fixed.
