Application Error Assigning Keystrokes

Hi Guys,
I have a couple of machines running InD CS3, Windows XP on which we can't modify the keystrokes, InD causes and application error when we hit OK on the dialog.
I know I can reset the preferences somehow on the start up but I'd prefer not to, of course.
Has anyone seen this and/or know a way around it?
Many thanks,
Ken

The first thing to do is trash your prefs.

  • System slowdown caused by Mail. Application error or worm???

    Hi there!
    After wondering for a long time why my system is gone so slowly (i never do a restart, just awake from sleep) i figured out that mail is the problem.
    Problem is that just after starting mail the activity monitor shows a cpu usage of about 45%, but there is no process in the list causing it. also, the disk activity shows a strange write value. while doing nothing special, it says that there are about 275 kb/s written on the disk! the most strange thing is that this behaviour stays altough mail is closed. the only thing to stop that is to restart the system and NOT open the mail application.
    the other strange thing is the behaviours of other apps after using mail. handbrake, for example, is multithreaded an uses about 180% of cpu. after opening mail, it just uses about 100%, as if it is ignoring the 2nd core in my iMac.
    now i am wondering if this is just an application error that should be fixed REALLY fast (because mail is my favourite email-client), or, and that should warn all us mac-users, it is some kind of worm/virus/trojan. remember microsoft outlook express? its very similar to mail becaus its winxp's standard mail-app... and you all know how riskful it is...
    would be nice if anyone could help me, since the problem is fixed i will use another mail-client and advise this to all that have noticed the same behaviour

    Hi Herogen.
    Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    If the problem persist after having fixed all filesystem issues, and you suspect Spotlight has a bearing on it, you may try re-creating its database by typing the following command in Terminal:
    sudo mdutil -E /
    The -E option tells Spotlight to delete any already existing index info (so that it's rebuilt from scratch all over again), and the / at the end means "apply this command to the boot volume".
    After entering the command in Terminal, you'll be prompted for your administrator password. Just type it blindly (you won't see any feedback of the keystrokes while you type it) and then press <Return>.
    For best results, quit Mail and don't play too much with your disk while Spotlight does its job -- i.e. avoid files being created/modified/deleted, mail being downloaded, etc.

  • How to duplicate return of RFC.Exception Application error to test fix

    I am calling a RFC using a sync step in an BPM process. I am checking for system error and have an exception branch. However we got the below error (probably due to the ECC system not being available at that precise moment or something) which was not trapped by the exception alert handling because this comes in as an Application error and not a System error. My questions are :
    1) How to handle this return of .Exception message so that the BPM raises the alert in the exception branch? I have read in other threads that we need to assign the below message structure as the Fault Message and set this under the Exceptions property of the Synchronous send step. If this is true, I am mostly interested in the below question so I can test this.
    2) How to duplicate this issue? I am not sure when exactly the .Exception message is returned on a RFC call, this is not configured anywhere on the ABAP side.
    <rfc:ZRFC_GET_DATA.Exception xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">

    Is the error resolved means that the RFC is working fine?
    I think this error due to the RFC destination set to Non-unicode which is expecting unicode option
    Check the R/3 machine whether it is unicode or not try to set the RFC destination option of unicode  in other way and check the error getting replicated or not

  • He XML message is going over to SRM from XI , but getting an application error (Exception)  when checking in sxmb_moni on the SRM side

    Hi Vijay,
    Can you tell us the interface name?
    If it is stuck in FEH (Application Error) in SRM then you can check the detail error by going into tcode /n/sappo/ppo2.
    You need to enter the Business Process, Order Assignment and Mode Of Postprocessing Order and then execute.
    It will show you all the messages stuck in application error for that interface and if you double click on any one of them you will get to see the detailed error with options to Discard, Repeat etc.
    Let us know if this helps you.

  • "No workflow started. Application error occured"

    Dear Gurus,
    Our user has encounter approval workflow problem. Shopping cart was created and ordered with status "Awaiting Approval". However, when viewing "Approval Overview", it shows that "No workflow started. Application error occured".
    Approver has access to SAP and roles had been assigned.
    I've checked table SWW_WI2OBJ and there is workflow created in SAP. However, it shows as error on the web.
    Any idea what caused this error?
    rgds,
    Santthi.

    Hi,
    Go to SWDD and from Header find out whether you have an active version for your workflow.
    Seems like the BUS 2201 is not able to determine any of the active workflows.
    OR,
    Go to SWUD and test with your workflow template and see if any error exists.
    It will show :" Workflow definition doesnot exist WD 401 " error if you dont have an active version.
    Try to create an active version for your workflow if this is the issue.
    Best regards,
    Sridhar

  • Application error during release to LiveCache

    Hi Experts.
    I got some orders stucked in my Outbound Queue in ECC side as SysFail with the error "Application error during release to LiveCache". When I click to activate the queue the order is released and transferred to APO. The question is Why is getting stopped?
    Thank you!

    Hi Everybody.
    SAP Provided me a note to implement to fix this issue. The note number is 1238616 but I need to understand how to reproduce this error in SandBox to implement this note and check if the problem will get fixed...
    Currently my OSS is assigned to SAP (Live Cache team) to let me know the root cause for this problem and how to reproduce in lower environment (sandbox) to implement the note and check if the problem will get fixed.
    As work around we are manually activating these errors in CIF queues that are getting clean.

  • RoboHTM.exe - Application Error message

    In one of my RH5 projects, I'm getting the RoboHTML.exe
    Application Error message "Instructions at ...referenced memory at
    ... . The memory cannot be read. Seems to happen when I try to
    create a new template or when I try to change the template assigned
    to a specific topic.
    Each time the project crashed, I tried to recreate the same
    template but it was already there. So I tried importing it but that
    didn't work.
    Although I'm using FlashHelp, which reports the hhp file as
    "unused." I tried Peter Grainge's suggestion regarding deleting xpj
    and cpd files and then using the hhp file to recreate my project
    files. This was fine except all of the templates that I had created
    vanished from the template folder. Because they were missing from
    the Templates folder, I was again confused as to what I should do
    as far as deleting or importing the templates to ensure that my
    version info displayed in the topic footers..
    I want to convert this project to Rh6 but am hesitant to do
    so until I've debugged the problem with this intermittent
    error.

    This has been covered in the forums before, but instead of searching, try this:
    Search for the file "cmsnxeye.exe" yields three locations:
    1) C:\Program Files\TARGUS\ACP50\Driver\CMdrv

  • Receive an Application Error (The memory could not be "read") when opening

    After I install Itunes the program works ok until I close it and try to reopen. When I do this I receive an Application Error that says:
    The instruction at "0x6686f183" referenced memory at "0x0fccc094". The memory could not be "read".
    Click OK to terminate the program
    Click CANCEL to debug the program
    Debugging does not work so the only solution is to uninstall Itunes and then reinstall. That again only works for one use of the program. As soon as I close it and re-open, I get the same error. Please HELP. I cannot waste any more time uninstalling and reinstalling.

    "The application, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Photoshop.exe, generated an application error The error occurred on 10/01/2009 @ 11:31:59.964 The exception generated was c0000005 at address 7C81BD02 (ntdll!ExpInterlockedPopEntrySListFault)
    For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp."
    OS: WIndows Server 2003 SP2
    Photoshop CS2
    ANy help on this will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Smiley

    I see this sort of error notice in Bridge and Photoshop, preceded by the message " Photoshop (or Bridge) has encountered a problem and must close. Tell MS.
    Yes or No."
    It most frequently happens in PS when running Dfine 2.0. I have no clue what triggers the Bridge closure. It happens randomly.
    CS3, so nobody gives a tinkers dam, I suppose.
    I see this kind of message in software testing on a regular basis. Of course, when the test is under way, the software is generating a detailed log file which we package up as part of a bug report. Then at the bug scrubs, lively discussions ensue as to who has to fix what!
    I can only image what would happen if the Dfine people and the PS people had to sit through one of those!

  • **SOLUTION** DLLML.exe Fails to load at startup (application error)

    Hello everyone!
    I purchased the SB X-Fi Fatalty Champion Edition soon after release, and think this is the best card I have ever used to date. Absolutely love it, unbelievable sound.
    Now a year or two ago I noticed a certain file failing to load when I started windows.
    This file, DLLML.exe. To my understanding this file is used to load EAX emulation support into older games/modules (essential loads a "middle-man" file between the game's sound files/.dll's, and the hardware SPU [Sound Processing Unit, not a real acronym, but that's what I call it since GPU and CPU are similar distincti've acronyms so if you see it used anywhere, it came from me ] to allow EAX support in non-EAX enabled games), and/or to add EAX effects in your audio files using the Wave Studio app.
    I've pinpointed this issue to either a Windows Update, or the Creative auto-update (which could mean it is an error caused by an installaion combination of multiple apps at once) because this issue did not arise until I did these two things (did Windows Update, then Creative Auto-Update, then restarted computer).
    Now I've primarily had this issue with Windows XP x64 but I have had this issue at times with Windows XP x86 as well.
    After you install the software suite, it adds an entry in your Windows Startup to load the module (Start/Run. msconfig. Startup tab. Look for STARTUP ITEM: DLLML). The entry looks like this:
    WinXPx86 looks like: "C:\Program Files\Creative\Shared Files\Module Loader\DLLML.exe" RCSystem * -Startup
    WinXPx64 looks like: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Creative\Shared Files\Module Loader\DLLML.exe" RCSystem * -Startup
    Under most circumstances this module loads fine, but because Creative, for reasons why I have not delved into, loads some of their DLL files differently than the Windows standard, which may also be a cause of this issue (extremely unlikely, I believe it is one of the 2 things i mentioned above).
    Either way, after I did those 2 things, the DLLML.exe startup entry failed to load every time.
    But I fixed it.
    Now what you have to do to resolve this issue, involves editing the startup entry in the Windows Registry.
    If you are scared to go into it, have no idea what I am talking about, or never edited the Registry before, don't worry. If you follow these steps EXACTLY, you have nothing to fear.
    I will be using default installation parameters for file pathing, so if your Operating System is installed in a different dri've letter other than C:\, then just change the letter to the one your OS is installed onto.
    Capitals used for emphesis on actions to take:
    -Hit the START button, then select RUN
    --------If RUN is not in your start menu, you need to enable it by right-clicking and open area of your TASKBAR, select PROPERTIES. --------Click the START MENU tab, then the CUSTOMIZE button. Click the ADVANCED tab. In the START MENU ITEMS box, scroll down to the entry that says SHOW RUN. Check the checkbox to fill it. Then OK/APPLY/OK, and you should be back to the desktop. Then go to START/RUN
    -type the word REGEDIT
    --------This opens the Windows Registry.
    --------DO NOT change ANYTHING in this other than the exact directions I specify or you may corrupt your registry or even worse, corrupt your system, which means F&R time (Format & Reinstall). Treat it like a stripper. You can look all you want but don't touch or there could be dire consequences.
    --------Now the fastest way to find this is to manually navigate to the specific "key" or "entry" you need to modify. Mouse-click the +'s to navitage further into the "hi've" following these maps:
    -FOR WINDOWS XP x86 USERS NAVIGATE TO: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
    -FOR WINDOWS XP x64 USERS NAVITAGE TO: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432\Microsoft\Wind ows\CurrentVersion\Run
    --------Now you are looking for a specific entry NAME called RCSYSTEM. Depending on which version you are running. They are:
    -FOR WINDOWS XP x86 USERS: "C:\Program Files\Creative\Shared Files\Module Loader\DLLML.exe" RCSystem * -Startup
    -FOR WINDOWS XP x64 USERS: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Creative\Shared Files\Module Loader\DLLML.exe" RCSystem * -Startup
    -------Now we are going to edit the entry. What we need to do is get rid of that * (asterix) character in the name. I don't know why it is there, I'm thinking it may be a coding error. But in my WinXPx64, this was the culprit.
    -Double-click the RCSYSTEM key to edit it, and edit it so it looks EXACTLY LIKE THIS (If you're paranoid about doing something bad, COPY and PASTE this line pertaining to your installed OS. KEEP IN MIND THE INSTALLATION DRIVE LETTER, CHANGE FIRST LETTER IF NESCESSARY)
    -FOR WINDOWS XP x86 USERS: "C:\Program Files\Creative\Shared Files\Module Loader\DLLML.exe" RCSystem -Startup
    -FOR WINDOWS XP x64 USERS: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Creative\Shared Files\Module Loader\DLLML.exe" RCSystem -Startup
    -click OK button. Now it is changed.
    -------And we're DONE EDITING the Registry entry!
    -now go to FILE in the top-left menu, then select EXIT
    -RESTART your computer
    -------You should not receive the "DLLML.exe failed to load" (application error) again!!
    To check to see if it loaded into your system properly (as if not getting the error message anymore was proof enough it loaded properly), when you reboot back to the desktop, do the "three-fingered salute" (ctrl-alt-delete), then select the PROCESSES tab. Click on the IMAGE NAME heading to sort it alphabetically, and look for the name (WinXPx86) DLLML.exe or (WinXPx64) DLLML.exe *32.
    If you see it listed, it loaded!! CONGRATS, IT BE FIXED!!
    If this did not work for you, then your system is posessed, get a priest. I don't think a witchdoctor would give your comp good vibes O_o
    Hope this resolved it for you. Enjoy your EAX with Duke Nukem 3d again!
    EDIT: As a side note, I also noticed that since after this fix, my computer doesn't hang after sending the restart/shutdown killsignal, so I am wondering with people having similar hanging issues, if their issue could be resolved something similar to this.
    Just a thought for any admins/mods/users out there that know what they are doing that maybe wanna test that out.

    G Kudos for a brilliant finding! After a Windows Hotfix on my XP SP3, when shutting down my PC I would wait for a program and then get an error that EAX was not responding before finally shutting down. On next reboot I lost sound on my PC. After running tests, the Direct Sound test failed pointing at EAX.
    This solution cured the problem. Again, kudos, job really well done!!!
