Multiple instances of firefox in task manager but FF doesn't open

- Windows XP SP3 (up to date with all critical updates)
- FireFox 25.0.1 (Note: Originally I had version 31 but a few days ago that stopped working)
- Norton Security Suite (the comcast version) up to date
- I have IE6 and Chrome 37 as backup browsers (Note: when FF stopped working, IE8 had also stopped working - page would open, only one system process, but page would never load)
Ran the following scans:
- SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition
- Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
- Ad-Aware Antivirus
- Spybot-S&D Start Center
Found a few non-critical yet potential infections (nothing too crazy)
Symptom persists as follows:
- fresh boot of computer
- open task manager (no instances of FF)
- open firefox - process appears in task manager and immediately goes to 50%
(nothing opens and nothing listed in Applications)
- open a second instance of firefox - 2nd process appears in task manager
(still nothing opens and neither instance appears in Applications
(the two instances continue to run at a cumulative 50% CPU usage - one might be 15% and the other running at 35% - or both running at 25% each)
- open a third instance of firefox
(still nothing opens, and all three instances show in task manager processes and cumulatively run at 50% - example:15 +15 + 20 or 10 + 15 + 25)
Troubleshooting:
restored a drive image from May 2014
- Note: Dec 2013 I had done a complete FRESH new install of Windows XP in prep for EOL and installed all updates, including SP3, so the image I chose from May was only 5 months old, but I chose that one because of some of the other programs I had installed that month and didn't want to go through that again
- Note #2: I have drive image run a monthly PQI backup of my C: drive and my R: drive) I have two hard drives 300G each whereas C: drive is OS only and R: drive is all my downloads, my documents, my photos, etc)
- after the image restored, I tried to open FF and IE8, neither app was problematic. FF auto updated from what version, I don't know, but it was on 31 when I realized the problem was BACK. Also ran some WIN critical updates, and IE8 stopped working too!
uninstalled IE8 (rolled back to IE6 and now IE works - but obviously I can not live with IE6 - I need to update that!) uninstalled FF31 (and deleted all temp and profile account folders) and installed a brand new copy of FF25 - whereas I immediately force stopped autoupdater and deleted the update files so I could remain on FF25.
Now FF25 will open only on the second instance of the process (the first will always go to 50% CPU, the second will open and run between 0 and 10 CPU, and only one application in Applications)
- I have learned that I can kill the 50% process using task manager or process explorer and total CPU usage will drop down to 0% - 10%
I can open many many tabs without any problems, and I can right click a link to open a new window and all is good, BUT if I use the desktop ICON, the quick launch ICON or the START > Programs > Icon, then the NEXT process will go to 50% and no second window will open
I have seen dozens of forums that have reported similar memory issues, but none have been resolved.
Can you help me? I don't want to upgrade IE6 to IE8 just yet, but I will not use it for anything but testing until I can upgrade. Note: besides being painfully slow, I have been switching to Chrome, but I have never enjoyed Chrome.... I am using FF right now to ask for help.
Any suggestions?

I have the "techie" answer for all of you. According to the tier 2 support at Norton Help Desk, the latest live update from Norton "utilizes Visual Studio 2012 which enables SSE2 instructions" and my processor can not handle that.
He said they are "working on a solution" and offered to reply back on Wednesday / Thursday this week if a solution could be found...

Closing an open task programatically

HI,
I have created a custom component in order to establish connection to BPM .
The flow is such that , the connection gets established and i need to fetch the tasks based on the workflowInstance and user ID specified.
I am able to fetch the tasks from which i extract the task state.
Need to close the state of an open task i.e need to update the state of the task to close. Not able to do it.
How do i achieve this?
This is the piece of code that is supposed to perform the functionality.
Please have a look and provide your inputs in order to achieve the needed.
Function Call:
this.updateTaskOutCome(task1, "CLOSE");
Function Defnition:

Report Generation task error

I'm using report generation VI's to generate my report (standard report). If I make an application at my development PC (LV 6.0.2 Win-NT 4.0 SP6; application builder 6) and start the EXE-file, there are no problems. I transfer the software (installer) to the target PC (Win-NT 4.0 SP6; run time engine 6.0.2) and start the print subroutine in my program. When I leave the application I have still the LV-Task in the Win-NT task list. I have to start the task manager to stop it. It happens only if I use the print subroutine ( with the report generation VI's) in my program. I made a test with the same subroutine but switched to html output, the task list is emty after leaving the program. Do you have any idea?

try re-compiling the report generation vi's (ctrl+alt+run button) then re-create your exe.

Mark waiting and cancelled tasks completed

Hi All,
is there sql somewhere that can mark certain tasks that are in waiting and canceled status to Completed?
Thanx.
Fred

I would suggest using the APIs to update the status or use the manuallyComplete API instead.

How can I display a SP 2010 out of the box workflow's task assignees via powershell?

There are days where one of the 250+ workflows at the site has attempted to send email to someone no longer at the company.
I would like to find a way to go through the farm and display all the list URLs that have workflows, and the mail addresses associated to the workflows.
This way I can track down the workflows that need to be updated to remove the missing users.
I have started a bit of script to do this. In my script, I just had a site collection - I figured that if I can get that to work, then surely wrapping another loop for the rest of the farm won't be bad.
However, for some reason, I am not seeing the output that I expected to show the mail addresses.
I am hoping a different set of eyes might see what I am missing. It was my understanding that the AssociationData property was XML that contained information about the assignees for tasks, the carbon copy list, etc.
Maybe I misunderstood something that I read?
$outLoc = "d:\temp\wfdata.txt"
$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity "http://myfarm/sites/it/"
foreach ($list in $web.Lists)
$associationColl=$list.WorkflowAssociations
foreach ($association in $associationColl)
$association.AssociationData | Out-File $outLoc
$web.Dispose()
I want to thank you for the helpful tips that so often appear on this list. They help me when I am reading over old threads to figure out what to do. I am hoping that tips on this thread will likewise be helpful.

Hi,
With
SPWorkflowAssociation.AssociationData property, we can get the assignees’ information. Your script can
be able to retrieve a XML format data which contains the user name we need:
So the next step would be getting the user name by parsing the XML data we got.
The two links below will show how to parse XML with PowerShell:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2012/03/26/use-powershell-to-parse-an-xml-file-and-sort-the-data.aspx
With the user name, we can get the
Email property of an user with the scripts as the link below provided:

How to use one dynamic connection managers for multiple parallel data flow tasks

hi there:
I have 6 databases residing on the same server. What I want to do is call a store procedure with identical name on each database dbo schema and transport results to a centralized place. The key is to have those SPs run in parallel instead
of in sequence as each SP may take around 10 mins to finish.
The simplest way is to create 6 OLE DB connection managers and create 6 DFT tasks. However, I do not want to maintain 6 OLE DB connection managers as there is a chance to have more connection managers.
What I did so far is to create a OLD DB connection manager and use expression to set up connectionString properties so that it will get populated by variables at run time. It is fine when running all SPs in a Foreach Loop Container. However, it takes
around 60 mins to finish.
When I try to run it in parallel ( basically created 6 DFTs but use only one Dynamic Connection Manager), the connection string gets confused therefore all DFT tasks failed.
Does anyone here have some experience on this topic?
Thanks
hui

Yes, basically, on the connectionString property of ONE OLEDB, you are using an expression to supply value and this expression is pointing to a variable.
In this case , you can update this variable from a table which contains many connection strings. It's good if you want to execute Store procedures in a sequential order. When in parallel mode, this will cause issues as connectionString gets overwritten.
I am thinking about using script task to exec sp.
The whole idea is that I do not want to maintain a large number of Connection Managers.
Hope it helps
--Currently using Reporting Service 2000; Visual Studio .NET 2003; Visual Source Safe SSIS 2008 SSAS 2008, SVN --
So you are not able to run parallel executions using same conn mgmr, even with dynamic connectionstring, is that correct? Yes, script task will be a way to go if you wish to execute it in parallel, you may connect to SS and query the proper conn string with
SELECT/WHERE clause in each script > pass it to a script variable > use that script variable and execute the proc. This will require only two things to change in each script, the WHERE condition to get the conn string and the proc name (you may even
get the proc names the same way you get conn string) and everything else will be same. Let us know how that goes.
Hope no two or more procs doing insert/update/delete on the same tables.

How do I move an app (like tasks) from the app list to my today screen?

I have an 8330 Curve and I love the way the active theme works for me me. I can see my msgs and calendar at a glance. Also on this screen are call log and applications. I would like to replace applications with tasks. Is this possible and how do I do it? If there is another theme out there that would do the same I would be willing to try that also.
Thanks

That is theme controlled and not editable by the user.
Another theme might have the functionality.
Here are a number of good theme developers you might check with.

How can I create a new Care Plan with one or more care tasks

Hello,
I'm working on a Dutch website in the HealthVault Environment. I got difficulties in creating and updating a careplan with care tasks. Most likely it's due to lack of knowledge...
Following code works fine:
CarePlan plan = new CarePlan();
plan.Name = "test";
this.PersonInfo.SelectedRecord.NewItem(plan);
It creates a plan called [test]. But I don't know how to create a plan with one or more tasks in it: the tasks property is read only.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.health.itemtypes.careplan.tasks.aspx
Half a year ago I was able to add an example of a careplan, which was a feature of the dev tools, but for some reason that's not possible anymore.
https://developer.healthvault.com/DataTypes/Overview?TypeId=415c95e0-0533-4d9c-ac73-91dc5031186c
So my question is, how can I add a new care plan with a task like the example from the HealthVault dev tools:

Hi Wilfred,
Have you tried this?
CarePlan plan = new CarePlan();
plan.Name = "test";
plan.Tasks.Add(someTask)
If you have a task list already, you would need to enumerate through it and add one by one...
foreach (var task in existingList)
plan.Tasks.Add(task)

View google tasks in ical

I didn't see any other users asking this question! Only 11 "related" questions. None applied.
So here goes:
I can see my google calendar events just fine in iCal.
How can I see my google tasks in iCal???
thanks for insight!

Whether the solution is the problem? since it is very inconvenient.
I like I bring to contact children's birthdays, anniversaries, date of death, and so on.
And I want to make it all displayed in the calendar.
Then the meaning of the item in the contacts if it can not be controlled?
It turns out a half-measure, and those with no no value, not to speak about the practicality!

Can I view a list of tasks that my computer has been up to?

The facts:
My computer: 15" i7 MacBook Pro, 500 GB HD, 4 GB RAM, OSX 10.6.6
Problem: I recently had an external hard drive "fail" overnight (WD Elements 2 TB, USB 2.0.) The hard drive had approximately 1.5 TB of my files on it. It was formatted to Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) and named "Deuce."
Symptom: The drive now mounts but is labeled "Untitled." It shows being formatted as Mac OSX Extended (Journaled), but has no files on it whatsoever. Sometimes the HD will not mount at all.
Possible culprit #1: My girlfriend was up late and noticed the power flicker on and off (causing the microwave clock to be reset.) The hard drive and laptop were plugged into a brand new surge suppressor/power strip.
Possible culprit #2: This hard drive has been known to be unreliable (failure.)
Possible culprit #3: Somehow there is a virus on my computer (have Sophos installed, updated, no viruses show on scan.)
Possible culprit #4: My girlfriend did something to the drive (format, delete all files, unplug w/o ejecting, etc.) and will never tell me if she did.
Possible culprit #5: Gremlins?
Troubleshooting:
#1: Have run Disk Utility, which reports the disk is fine.
#2: Have run quick scans from 3 third-party data recovery softwares (VirtualLabs Data Recovery, Data Rescue 3, R-Studio.) None report problems with the disk, nor do they show any files.
#3: Am currently running a deep scan with Data Rescue 3 in Demo mode - $99 to buy full version - (60 hours left.)
#4: Have switched out USB cable. No change.
#5: Have plugged HD directly into wall socket. No change.
#6: Have taken HD to Best Buy Geek Squad, who could not get HD to mount on their computer. Confidence in their technical abilities: 30%.
My questions:
#1: Is there a way to find out what tasks have happened on my computer within the last week? Does the computer even keep track of this (like Adobe Photoshop will keep a history, you can hit CMD+Z to undo, etc.?) I want to know if I can eliminate user error from the list of suspects.
#2: Is there another software for Mac that will run a thorough diagnostic of this HD to see what is wrong with it? WD only offers Data Lifeguard for PC (which I will never own again but I suppose I could locate one to help troubleshoot the HD.)
#3: Has anyone experienced this issue with an external HD before?
#4: Is there any information I can give that would help the wise men and women of the forum to help me solve this and get my photos back (some are backed up, but not all.)
Lessons learned:
#1: Replacement drive was more solid Seagate drive.
#2: Remaning drives are password protected.
#3: Backing up to DVD all current files on my current 2 External HD, as well as Time Machine backups for internal HD (which has just given me this error on Tech Tool Deluxe:
Drive Hardware
Failed
Checks the physical attributes of the device containing the selected volume.
You should consider backing up the data from the device associated with the selected volume. The device may continue working without issue for a period of time, but may physically fail without warning.
If anyone has any helpful advice, please...I would really appreciate it.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Maybe a long shot, but WD is not known for the quality of some of their enclosures, although I do like the drives themselves. It may be worth mounting this drive in a different enclosure, something like one of OWC's FireWire enclosures with the highly reliable Oxford chip sets. I wouldn't be inclined to trust a WD enclosure, especially if it already seemed to be acting in a flakey manner.
Here's an example of what I mean:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEP924FW8E2O/
I have 3 of these and I really like them.
From what I understand, if the drive spins up, it is often possible to recover data from it. To be absolutely certain to destroy the data, you just about have to take a hammer to the disk. Hopefully, there will be a way to get your data back.
Good luck!

How to get flagged messages in to tasks or alternatively view another users to do list.

If someone could just help me out I would be extremely appreciative.
2 of us work in one mail box together called admin. when one of us is away we like to use the flags to create follow ups for each other on certain email items.
Firstly, I can only see my main accounts to do list
Secondly, when I flag a contact / message / anything in fact, in any mailbox it only appears in their respective to do lists and not in their tasks. Thus I cannot see what I have flagged for them at a glance as I can not find a way to view other peoples
to do list. i.e. neither of us can see any of the flags in the shared mailbox we use (admin) unless we log in under a different profile, which is troublesome as it takes way to long to switch back and forth.
I presently use colour categories to delegate who is currently in charge of answering certain emails and use custom flags to note what we are waiting for in particular to a certain email and then mark a tick when it has been dealt with. Simple system but
not currently working in full due to the follow up flags not appearing in tasks.
This also affects my task synching on my mobile where once again it only shows what is in tasks... i.e stuff I have physically typed in outlook rather than flagged content; mails, contacts etc.
Any ideas how to get the follow up flags appearing in tasks or an ability to see other peoples to do lists... the first is more preferable but I will take what I can.
Kindest Regards
Woody

Just add the 'admin' mailbox as additional account in Outlook, as opposed to additional mailbox (i.e. don't add it from Accounts Settings -> More settings -> Advanced, but from File -> Add account instead).
It will then show flagged items and tasks from all accounts in the 'To-do' list.

How can i set a task/reminder from an email?

Hi all, I have a 64gb iPad 2 running iOS 5.1 which work have supplied me with, I'm an apple n00b but am quite experienced with Windows. My mail is synchronised with the office server and I can access that on my Windows laptop or my iPad.
When I receive a new email that I need to either reply to or perform an action in order for it to be considered complete (ie not just a FYI email that I can file away), I can set this email as a to-do task in Windows, set a coloured reminder to the email, flag the email with a reminder to pop onto my screen etc at a later date - ie loads of ways to highlight to me that this needs to be actually actioned but there doesn't seem to be any way of doing anything with the embedded email program other than mark it as unread.
At the moment I'm resorting to creating a subfolder called "To do" and manually moving these emails there for the minute but setting a reminder or task, which I've had the ability to set on Windows Outlook since the 90's, seems impossible on the iPad. Other than this my only options seem to be marking the email as unread or going to the reminders app myself and type a 'manual' reminder referencing this email.
Is there any way, or app, that I can either create a reminder/task straight to reminders from the email or, at the very least, do something to differentiate it from the rest of the emails in my inbox (even highlighting it in a colour would do)?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer,
Matt

This is an extremely vexing problem and I would like to know if anyone has a solution please. Here is my situation:
Using standalone (simply my home one not connected to network or exchange) Outlook 2007 (soon to upgrade to 2013) on PC - Windows 8.1. Have an iPhone 6. Want the closest possible functionality (particularly categories, reminders, etc.) on my iPhone for my standalone Outlook. The only thing I have found close is DejaOffice and Companion Link (which work together). I am seriously considering as appears a close mirror image for all things I do, but they don't have email. So, can someone please give me either a) a better comprehensive application/solution; b) a separate 3rd party email app that will allow me to flag an email, on either computer or iPhone with perfect sync, as a reminder without having to create a separate task; or c) your best/closest solution set to be as seamlessly productive as possible using either native or 3rd party email app and your :"manual workaround." Thanks.

Need to find a calendar to schedule multiple assignments with multiple tasks set on specific days for multiple people

There may be no such animal as what I am searching for, but I thought I'd give it a try.
What I need to do is find a calendar app that allows me to have individual calendars for staff members that I can place a several-days-long assignment and have those people access remotely on an iPad or iPhone (autosync).
I also want to be able to have tasks set on specific days within that assignment that have alerts/reminders for each stage of the assignment.
Being able to custom colour each individual assignment (not just the person's own calndar) is also necessary, as these asignments overlap and need to be easily distinguishable at a glance. Each assignment needs to be its own entity and not affect any furture or previous entries, even if I choose the same colour.
It needs to be in a month by month view and be able to be something each person can subscribe to and sync up with for changes on a daily basis. It does nothave to be a calendar like in the screen shot below, it could be a linear calendar that has days across the top and assignments down the left side.....
Here is a screen shot of a rudimentary excel spreadsheet I have been using. It is awkward and becoming unmanageable as the number of assigments increases and more staff are being added on. And I must send a new spreadsheet out every time I make a change or add an assignment, which is several times a week.
I suspect I may be asking for the world, but if anyone knows a direction I can go in to start a search, I'd be grateful. I haven't had success of my own so far and need to find something soon.
iCal doesn't work for me due to the fact I can only colour code the calendar itself and not the event, plus not being able to have multiple tasks within one event. And the qty of assignments I'd have would see most getting lost, eliminating my abilty to see every staff member's assignmanet at the same time.
Thank you in advance if you have a suggestion and if not, thanks for looking at my dilemma!

URGENT!pls hlpDAC Full Load always in 'Running' status at a particular task

Hi Friends,
I started a full load yesterday.There are totally 257 tasks.The load went fine without issues till 248th task.But while executing 249th task(Load into Activity Fact),it is always in 'Running' status and is not getting completed even after executing for 2 hours. I checked in the informatica workflow monitor and found that the workflow is in 'running' state and is not getting completed. When right-clicked the session and selected run properties,I can see that 0 rows are inserted into the target table.So I manually tried to stop the workflow.Even after that the task is always in 'Stopping' status and is not getting stopped.Then I manually aborted the workflow.
Below is the session log file.Could you please check and let me know.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Friends,
We executed a Full-Load again on Saturday i.e 23rd July 2011.This time we allowed the task 'Load into Activity Fact_CUSTOM' to execute without stopping it manully like we did in the previous data load.It got executed for 3 hours and 45 minutes and then 'Failed' giving the following error ORA-01652(unable to extend temp segment by string in tablespace string).This task got executed successfully in our dev environment.Below is what we found in the sessio .log file and help us resolve this issue.Please revert back as soon as possible as we have this issue in our prod environment.
