8i install crashes

I'm installing 8i personal on Windows ME, using the jrew workaround noted in this forum. The main installation works, and it starts installing the configuration tools. The Net8 Configuration Asst succeeds, but when the Oracle Database Configuration Asst is 1% done, I get a "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be terminated". Under details, it says there's an invalid page exception.
So, is it possible to get this thing to install? Or, is it possible to set up a new database without the Configuration Asst? I can't get an sql window to open - I always get a ORA-01034 - ORACLE not available error message.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I wish I could offer an answer but I am also getting that exact same failure. Last summer I installed just great. I recently installed Visual Basic and then my Oracle went belly up. After much restoration, I'm now ready to re-install my Oracle but I keep getting this same scenario.
I hope someone can help. Thank you very much in advance.

Mountain lion install crashes-corrupted download

Twice now, after lengthy downloads to my 27" IMac running 10.6.8. the mountain lion install crashed in the early stages with the same error message that the download is corrupted. please delete the install package from the application folder and repeat the download. After the second try, I decided to try downloading Lion which I purchased early this year but never downloaded.
Any suggestions?

The installation could not be completed because errors were found on your drive. Boot up again while holding down the option key and the select Recovery partition. From there, open Disk Utility and first verify and then, if needed, repair the disk "Macintosh HD". If your drive is 'fixable' this will repair any errors.

Portal install crashes when starting J2EE

I am installing EP 6.0 on Solaris 9.0. I have tried bith versions of the portal install. What happens is when the installation gets to the point where it starts the J2EE, the install crashes. The prerequisites are met becuse the analyzer checks out, and the machine has ample memory. Has anyone seen this problem.
Thanks
Jeremy

Try to run the latest analyzer - note 739480.
If this won't help - open a CSN/OSS message.

Nokia Ovi suite instalation crashes

hi, I have a same problem with the ovi suite.
I can install everything but the Nokia Music software, i just bought a 5800 and I cant access nokia store or sync my music with the computer.
I installed the software that came with the CD at first, then I unistalled everything and downloaded a newer version from nokia site, but the problem still remained. I even tried to install the sofware with compatibility of Windows XP SP2.
The problem is: Nokia music (or Ovi ) called the wrog c++ library, after this error message the instalation crashes and nothing works. I have Vista Home Premiun 64Bit .
If i plug the USB cable I can use nokia PC Suite and access my phone memory.
However I cannot use the nokia store.
Please help.

Hi,
My regular/initial reply to all of sort of this issues :
Do have backup of your phone data & PC registries then
Uninstall Nokia PC Suite, Nokia Connectivity cable driver, PC Connectivity solution, Nokia flashing cable driver(if any on your PC), Run PC Suite cleaner. Install latest Nokia PC Suite from europe.nokia.com/pcsuite, reboot your pc. Once pc started, connect your phone with USB in different ports of your PC and check
If you want to install OVI Suite, kindly do check in google, as last few days ovi suite's site was in maintance ....Make sure that your pc is away from all unwanted pc registries, then after installation of pc suite reboot and check.

Any Mozilla product I install crashes at startup. The first window I see when I open a Mozilla product is the crash reporter. I have tried every possible solution but cannot open anything. It started with firefox. Can anyone please help?

Hi there, as the question says, I cannot open any Mozilla product. I have tried to install firefox 3.6, older versions of Firefox, Firefox 4.0, Sea Monkey, Thunder Bird and Sun Bird. I have the same problem everytime. I open any of these programs and the first and the only window that appears is the crash reporter. I've tried opening it in Safe Mode and the same occurs. I have tried entirely uninstalling the products incuding the registry keys but no help. I shall post the detailed error reports, if they help solving this issue. Can you kindly look into this and find a solution as I use all of these Mozilla products and my life has been a hell since they've ben down.

Cant boot from snow leopard dvd and install crashes computer

Folks, hi, newbie to this forum but at wits end.
I have a MacBook Pro 17inch mid 2010 model. I added the OMG disk doubler and ditched the internal dvd, so I now have 2 X 500GB hard drives, one of which has the OSX. This disk in trouble and Disk Utility says that it needs repairing, but i need to repair after booting from an different disk.
So, I added a usb dvd drive and put in snow leopard. It would not boot via holding down 'c' and the option key only saw the current drive. No problems I thought, I will install onto the second hard drive and boot from that. The process got a fair way though (20 mins) and the computer crashed. I checked that it is GUID, tried again, and ditto. So, I made a new partition that was nice and clean -- and ditto. Stuck about now, I tried to format a usb hard drive -- ditto. Hmm, didnt want to, but out came the second drive and in went the old dvd drive -- same issue -- could not boot using c button and the option key did not recognise the snow leopard install. Out came the drive and I went to the apple store -- they told me that the Snow Leopard I had brought was an upgrade and that I needed a Box Set. $169 later and - you guessed it -- the dvd is the same, no start on c, not recognised on option, and the computer crashes if I try and install to the second hard drive or an external drive.
Help anyone??

when i go to system prefs- startup, the dvd does not show up in the list of startup drives. The apple salesman said that the OSX install disk I purchased was not a start up disk / full install but rather an upgrade only disk. That is why he said to use the box set as a 'full install' - but both appear to not start up or be able to do a clean install. I just end up with a set of files call Mac OSX install files.

Macbook pro i7 - Mid 2010 - Lion 10.7.2 fresh install CRASHES

Hello MacHeads like my self,
I have a macbook pro - mid 2010 (i7, 8gb ram), I had a major disk corruption a few days ago (WD 750gb 7200rpm), bunch of bad sectors and I belive it took place becouse I had the crazy black screen failiur going on for a few weeks until apple released the update to fix that, but I had to hard reset the macbook several times and that could have caused the bad sectors...
Anyhow, I pulled the drive out, put a new one in, a 500gb 5400rpm made by Segate, fresh install of teh LION, made all of the available updates... it was running fine until yesterday when I got the the black screen again... I could not belive it... so I hard reste it again... today, the macbook crashed on it's own as I was writing a message using skype, I thought it was the black screen again (video failiur) but no, it actualy restarted on it's own.
Any ideas?
Here is the crash report below if someone can read this:

Workarounds for 2.0.1 app install crashes

Hi All,
This will be a long post, but hopefully of help to those suffering from the infuriating application related crashes and instability of 2.0 and 2.0.1.
For those just looking for the workarounds, jump to the bottom of this message. For those interested in a technical discussion of what's going on behind the scenes, keep reading.
After running a very stable iPod Touch on 1.1.3 for quite some time complete with jailbroken apps, I decided it was time to give 2.0 and the official third party apps a go.
At first I loved the new features especially the WPA Enterprise support and MS Exchange support which I think are brilliant, but then I started to notice all kinds of problems with crashes like most other people in this forum as soon as I had a few apps installed.
Basically the thing was horribly unstable to the point of being unusable, and I did about 10 full restores in the first two weeks, just to keep the thing going, and experienced dozens of cases of being stuck on the apple boot screen.
The crashes could be narrowed down into two types of crashes - one is crashes while trying to RUN applications, and the second is crashes trying to INSTALL or UN-INSTALL applications.
The first type - crashes while running applications would take the form of either an app crashing back to the home screen when launched, or causing a total system freeze or a spontaneous reboot either when launching an app, or sometimes while running an app.
Usually when this would happen most large apps (hint: memory hungry apps) would fail to launch, good examples are super monkey ball, cromag rally and enigmo. Repeated attempts to launch these apps would fail and eventually the device would spontaneously reboot.
In all cases, a full reboot of the device, (hold sleep button for 5 seconds, swipe to power off, then power on again) would allow the app to run again. The reviews of some apps on the app store are littered with complaints from people that the app crashes during launch - the irony is the app is NOT to blame, in all cases I have seen.
The second type of crash is a lockup and/or spontaneous reboot during app installation or removal either through the built in appstore application or via syncing with itunes. More often than not this type of crash would render the device unbootable with you stuck at the apple logo - you could tell this was happening because after a few minutes the apple logo would go darker, and the device is no longer pingable over wifi.
First the good news - for me anyway, 2.0.1 FIXES the first type of crash - apps crashing back to the home screen, spontaneous reboots and lockups when launching apps or using them. I haven't had super monkey ball fail to launch, or crash during play a single time since updating to 2.0.1 for example. Wahoo Apple.
When not adding/removing/updating applications, I now find 2.0.1 to be quite stable, apart from the usual Safari crashes, which seem to happen a bit more often than 1.1.3.
Now the bad news - the app install / un-install related crashes are NOT fixed in 2.0.1 or even alleviated, so these are what I will focus on in this message describing workarounds I have found and the reasoning behind them.
Ok here's the deal, with a bit of analysis the root cause of the problem is LOW MEMORY conditions that occur during the app install / un-install process. It seems to be a combination of increased system memory requirements of the 2.0 firmware in general (there is simply more stuff running than there was in 1.1.x, so there is less free memory) as well as what look like memory leaks (or at least poor coding) in both Springboard and mobileinstallationproxy. More on those in a minute.
In addition the emergency low memory handling of the system (maybe the kernel) seems to be broken in 2.0.x - once free memory gets below a certain point the system will hard freeze - this never happened in 1.1.x, at most it would cause a reboot if memory became critical and nothing could be done to free memory.
Ok, what is mobileinstallationproxy ? This is a program whose job it is to install and uninstall applications, basically, and did not exist in 1.1.x firmware. When an application is to be installed or removed either directly on the device or by syncing with itunes, this is the process that is launched to do it.
Problem number one - sometimes, this processes memory usage will grow enormously - there is typically only 60MB ram free no additional apps are running and background mailcheck is disabled. mobileinstallationproxy's memory usage will often climb to reach or exceed this amount causing an extreme low memory condition which will cause the Springboard to try to kill off unnecessary processes, but if it can't find enough memory the device will either freeze or spontaneously reboot - the reboot in the middle of application install / un-install corrupts the application state, causing more trouble later on.
Ok, what is Springboard ? This is the main application on an ipod touch / iphone which gives you your home screen, and manages the launching of applications, provides touchscreen input to applications, and also does additional memory management by asking applications to reduce their memory usage if free memory is tight, and will even go so far as to quit background processes to free up memory when memory gets really tight.
Problem number two - sometimes Springboard starts allocating large amounts (over 70-80MB) of memory itself causing a low memory condition - and it cant free up memory because it can't ask itself to quit! At least, not without rendering the device unusable, because you lose the ability to use the touchscreen......
This typically happens when Springboard is "regenerating the application map" which basically means it is looking at newly installed applications to find out details about them and display them on the home screen. This regenerating happens both immediately after application install, and during bootup (before the lock screen) if it wasn't previously finished. BIG PROBLEM.
What happens if the device crashes if you are half way through installing an app ? The answer is that when you try to boot up again Springboard starts regenerating the application map before you are presented with the lock screen - it looks like nothing is happening, but it is. Corrupt applications can cause Springboard to crash during this phase which means you are stuck in an INFINITE LOOP of rebooting showing the Apple logo, which is what many people have experienced.
Problem number 3 - if you have a LOT of applications installed, and just one of them gets corrupted during a crash, when the device reboots, Springboard will start rebuilding the application maps, but this can take a LONG time, and there is a TIME LIMIT on how long Springboard is allowed to run in this state! A watchdog process waits for Springboard to respond during bootup but because Springboard is busy regenerating the application map it doesn't respond. If it doesn't respond in a certain amount of time (approx 5 minutes) the watchdog will KILL Springboard, thus not only preventing it from finishing the job and letting you get to the lock screen, but possibly further corrupting data, and causing the device to freeze, as Springboard is an essential system process.
This is the reason why the system becomes prone to getting stuck on the Apple screen after just a single application becomes corrupted, if you have MORE than a certain number of applications installed. If you have few applications installed (less than approx 10) the situation of one app becoming corrupted is recoverable, and self healing, if you have many applications installed (over 20) there is never enough time for Springboard to finish the job before the watchdog terminates it - thus being stuck at the Apple Logo with no escape other than a system restore.
For anyone who wonders how I am gathering the data to form these conclusions there are two tools that I've used - one is freely available from Apple, and that is the 'iPhone Configuration Utility' available from here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/iphoneconfigurat ionutility10formacosx.html
Which has the ability to show the local system log (console) of the device in real time, showing things such as:

Sat Aug 9 20:54:33 unknown SpringBoard[16] <Warning>: Memory level is urgent (10), but there are no apps to warn!
A great deal of information about what is going on can be gained from watching this log file, and the program can be left monitoring even during an itunes sync.
The second way I have gathered data is by running top over ssh on a jailbroken version of the firmware. I don't endorse or encourage jailbreaking of firmware, but in this instance it has allowed me to gather invaluable data on the problem, and I would stress that the crashes that I've been chasing occur equally on standard and jailbroken firmware.
In particular ssh has allowed me to prove one hypothesis - when the device gets stuck at the Apple logo after an app is corrupted, and is in an unrecoverable state that requires yet another restore, if I quickly ssh in as soon as I can during the bootup phase, and delete all the Appstore applications from /var/mobile/Applications the device will almost immediately spring to life and has been "saved" from requiring another restore - this proves that Springboard is getting bogged down scanning the applications and once they are removed it will boot normally again and the apps can be reinstalled.
WORKAROUNDS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The biggest problems here are (a) too many apps installed preventing bootup recovery once an app gets corrupted, and (b) low memory situations being encountered during app install / uninstall causing the corruption in the first place.
1) Don't install or update Apps using the built in Appstore application on the ipod/iphone. For reasons not entirely clear this is a very hit and miss proposition and there is a VERY high chance that you will get a freeze or a crash from doing this if you have more than a few apps installed, and end up in an unrecoverable state. Just don't do it, always sync apps across from itunes.
2) Free up as much memory as possible BEFORE syncing applications with itunes, and this applies both to installing and un-installing applications. The best way to do this is disable MobileMail from running in the background. If you have automatic message checking of any kind enabled MobileMail launches at bootup and runs in the background ALL the time, consuming approximately 14MB of ram, and this is often the straw that broke the camels back when memory gets tight.
To do so, disable PUSH, and change Fetch new Data to Manually, then either do a full reboot (sleep button for 5 seconds then swipe to turn off, then press to turn on again) OR launch mobile mail, wait for it's mail check to finish, then hold down the home button for 5 seconds to do a forced quit. It's imperative that automatic checking of mail is disabled, or it will immediately launch in the background again.
This step of disabling MobileMail to free up a bit more memory makes the most difference of all the things I have tried in preventing crashes during application syncing, so don't skimp. You can enable automatic mail checking again afterwards.
3) As much as it pains me to say, having downloaded over 30+ apps, if you want your ipod/iphone to be stable, until Apple fixes this issue, install as few apps as you possibly can - just the ones you really need, and not lots of gimmicky things you don't really need. Try to keep it under 20 at any one time, and you can do this on the Application tab in iTunes telling it to sync only selected applications. Keeping the number of synced applications down to a minimum makes a big difference, and means that even if you do get a crash during app installation it will usually recover. If you have lots of apps installed it will NOT recover by itself.
Good luck all, and roll on 2.0.2.

If you DO get in the situation where the iPhone won't load and is stuck at the Apple logo, there is an alternative to Restoring: renaming the Applications folder momentarily.
Of course this assumes you have a way of getting to the Applications folder before the phone has fully booted. I am lucky as I have OpenSSH installed and when this crash occurs the WiFi has already connected, so I can (for example) log in and rename Applications to Applications2 and then back again.
The Springboard will start about 5 seconds after you rename the folder. This at least gives you an opportunity to back stuff up or try to remove the offending application instead of restoring.
I have heard that you can use iPhoneBrowser on Windows to do the same but not tested this.

Creative Cloud Desktop install crashes Windows Explorer and hangs

This all started with my inability to activate Adobe Acrobat on my computer after wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the OS.
I had no trouble initially downloading or installing anything from the Adobe Creative Cloud. I ran several apps and they worked (albeit in trial mode for a day or two)
And then the Initial Problem: Trying to Activate Adobe Acrobat failed to get pass the sign-in screen.
It would hang for about 30 minutes and then come back to the error that the computer's clock must be incorrect or an error with the Internet connection. (It's a standard error documented on Adobe's site that says you need to make sure your computer can really get to all of Adobe's activation servers/sites/etc. I double-checked everything in the troubleshooting list to be sure but found nothing wrong with the computer or the ability to get to Adobe's sites.
Exasperated. I went online for tech support. It was definately Level 1 support (had me checking all the stuff I had already spent an hour checking - and had already told him I tested it all).
Anyway, I spent an hour on the chat with Adobe Tech Support going through the usual stuff.
He had me check virus programs, computer clock, conenctions to Adobe sites (like the licensing servers). But nothing ever helped or worked. Then he told me to try going directly to the Adobe Creative Cloud site and trying to download and install the Creative Cloud desktop manager. I did that but it hangs when it launches the manager on the initial window with a black/grey Creative Cloud bar at the top (with the tool drop-down on the right side) but the rest of the window never loads.
After an hour of going in circles I decided it would be better to try again later with someone in second-level support.
In the meantime, I uninstalled ALL Adobe applications. There is no Flash-Player, no Acrobat Reader - nothing from Adobe in my programs list.
I then tried to download and install the Adobe Application Manager. It works up to the point where it launches the Creative Cloud Desktop tools and then hangs at the same place.
There is a Creative Cloud window with the normal black/grey bar at the top - but the rest of the window (where you would normally see and load the apps from) stays empty.
I have rebooted the computer several times to be sure it is a fresh start. That has not helped at all. One additional thing I have noticed in these multiple attempts is that when the Creative Cloud Desktop Manager installer gets about 95% done, it causes Windows Explorer to crash (not Internet Explorer but Windows Explorer). Once Windows Explorer resets, Creative Cloud continues the installation but then opens the window (above) that has nothing but the black/grey header.
I'm struggling for what to do next. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Right now I am paying $50 a month for something I can't even install or use.
For what it's worth, the system is an HP laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. 8GB of RAM and plenty of HDD space. All security updates applied and Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1. I doubt that any of that last line is relevant since I could run all of this with no problem before wiping the hard drive AND it was all running with no problem - other than Activating Acrobat at the start of this whole issue.

Jim,
You are a lifesaver! I can't think of how many additional hours of frustration you just saved me - but Thank You!!
After posting, I had determined (like you said), that Explorer must be doing that for a reason. I created a new user profile on the system (added a user temporarily) and observed the same behavior of Windows Explorer (stopping/starting) but then continuing to work as it should. At that point I knew the answer was somewhere in the user's profile but I would have had no idea where to look. The opm.db file was indeed the culprit.
I sure do appreciate the excellent help.

Adobe air install crashes

So today I simple installed the installer( yeah that makes
sense) and whenever i launch it, I get an error box with nothin in
it but a yellow exclamtion and an "ok".
On the task bar it says "J2GPfcW"
Im trying to a run a game emulator GGPO which requires Adobe
air.
Because it edits the regs i cant install it on another
computer and transfer it over.
I use PC/windows XP Pro by the way.

Yep, I tried installing Adobe Air on 10.7.2 multiple times. Console shows the installer crashing (below).
Go to System Preferences > Energy Saver and uncheck "Automatic graphics switching" and it the install now works.
It's just Adobe trying to get back at Apple - happens all the time.

IMac 18" G4 Flat Panel - Tiger 10.4.9 Install Crashing

Newbie to this forum coz I've never had a problem with my iMac since I bought it new all those years ago. I got Final Cut Pro as a gift and needed to upgrade from 10.2.8 as supplied with my iMac to 10.4 according to the FCP instructions, so I duly bought 10.4.9 generic which I am trying to install.
As soon as the machine restarts with the OS install disk 1 in the drive it crashed with a kernel error telling me something about not finding Power PC 6.1?
According the the Apple website this OS should install on this machine. The iMac is an 18" flat panel with 768MB RAM and 60GB of free disk space, Power PC G4 1Ghz.
Since the OS install discs are generic and not specifically for one type of computer in particular, can anyone suggest what may be the root of the problem and how to fix it?
Look forward.

Your gray install DVD won't work.
Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available from Apple. For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray). Expect to pay (possibly a lot) more than the Apple list price of $129.

Windows 7 Clean Install Crashing. Diagnosed Driver Issue.

Late 2011 iMac 21"
OS X 10.7.5
Fresh OEM Install of Genuien WIndows 7 Professional (Up to date)
Windows crashes intermitently while using the machine. *Crash = loss of video / power
The machine will run for days without issue if no user input is being provided and sitting at the Windows Log In screen.
Event logs indicate that this error occurs immediatly (less than 1 second) prior to the crash log entry:
The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device ACPI\ACPI0008\4&1fe8558&0
Googling the driver and error results provides a VERY wide scope of issues pleguing the Microsoft community.
At first I thought maybe it was the 3rd party IR mouse, so I tested the machine with a generic Windows wired USB mouse which yeilded the same result: System crash after some time using the machine. Does anyone know how I can find out what device the system is attempting to load the driver for and our what the driver is used for.
One possibly impirtant note about all this. They system will not power back on after the crash until I reset the SMC. Then the machine will powerup and boot ok. I asume this is just a consequence of the machine shutting down improperly, just not used to seeing that as it infrequently happens on the OS X side.
I need to get this issue resolved as I know it can cause damage to the hard drive with the frequent unexpected shutdowns.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Update: The machine also powers down unexpectidly when the display powers off due to energy saver preferences. However, it will also power off prior to that timeframe of 15 minutes as well. Attempted in a test user environment and I get the same result. I don't believe this is a hardware issue as the machine can be used for hours while booted into OS X without issue. Maybe it's just time to buldoze WIndows and start fresh again? I have 3 other machines with the exact same configuration setup at the same time and no issues.

Photoshop CS2 Trial Install Crash on Mac Pro

Well, I've seen the benchmark sites running Photoshop CS2 on a Mac Pro, but when I try to install the trial version, it crashs during the install process. I tried re-installing Mac OS X and re-installing Photoshop first thing, but with the same result.
A search only brought up a previously known issue with QuickTime 7.1, but the fix was to update to 7.1.1 - since my install has QT 7.1.2 this doesn't seem applicable.
Doom3 is the only other Rosetta app I've tried, and it runs fine - heck, I didn't even initially realize that the demo is the PPC-only version.
Has anyone else gotten it successfully installed? I don't want to spring out the cash for the full thing until I know it works (and I want to test out the Kodak Digital ROC plug-in to make sure it works as well.)
(I'm asking here since my lack of search results leads me to think it might be Mac Pro specific.)
Take care,
P.M.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) (2.66/160GB/7300GT/2GB/BT + 250GB PATA drive)

This worked for me....
Restart
During restart, hold Ctrl + Command + P + R to reset the PRAM
After this, the computer will flash and reboot again and should boot into the Mountain Lion Installer.
Good luck.
