Can't change Jmf registry

Hi
Every time I use the camera, I get asked to choose a video device, and I choose 'integrated camera'. It will ask next time again.
So I've opened the Jmf registry editor, and asked it to detect devices - It finds My webcam: "Name = vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32):0"
but when I commit, nothing happens. It does not remember the device.
(windows 7 32, if it matters).
This problem might be the reason my program can't find any devices, using "CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(some format or null);"
Thanks,
Danger

This problem might be the reason my program can't find any devices, using "CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(some format or null);"If your program can't find any devices, but there are devices stored in the registry, the problem is that your program isn't finding the registry... which suggests you've not installed JMF correctly, you're not including JMF.jar in your project correctly, or you have some problem with your environmental variables...

Can we change NT registry to add parameter for weblogic as NT service?

wlconfig will set parameters that start with "-D" for use by the
server when started as a service, but will not set parameters
that start with "-J-D" for use by the JVM from which the server
is started.
You can only have one instance of WebLogic Server running as a
service. Until we provide a way to save command line arguments
in the registry I'm afraid you'll have to have an installation
of the server software that's dedicated to the service. Install
your weblogic.properties file in that installation directory
(WEBLOGICHOME).

by WL when run as an NT Service (yes they provide that via the install.exe
for 5.1) or when running it from the NT Icon. Options set with wlconfig are
NOT used for the startweblogic.cmd file - for that you must modify the cmd
file itself.

The parameter I try to define is

In the folder
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SYSTEM->CurrentControlSet->Services->weblogicServer1,
I try to add key "Parameters", under which add string "Application" with
value
f:\weblogic\bin\wlserver.exe -ms32m -mx32m

However, after this modification, NT service cannot start, an internal
NT errors pops up when I click the start button for this service.

Can I use the Registry to change the Login Name used in Note Tool?

If adding notes in browser-based review, you cannot edit the Author name used in the note tool. Its uses the fixed Windows login name shown in Edit > Preferences > Identity.
If you turn off the "Always use Log-in name for Author name" setting, the Author can be changed when adding notes in Acrobat itself, but the Author is fixed to the Windows login name in browser-based review.
Therefore, I was wondering if anyone knows if this can be changed in the Registry? I've found the login field name here (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Annots\cAnnots\cAnnot\tauthor) but it unfortunately does not update the Author field.

Good afternoon!
You can replicate this in Acrobat 8 as follows:
- In Acrobat / Edit Preferences / Commenting, turn off "Always use Log-in Name for Author Name"
- Open a PDF in Acrobat > Add a Note > Right-click Properties > General tab > Rename the Author to "TESTING" > Click "Make Properties Default" > Click OK
- Set up a Network Folder Online Comments Repository as follows: In Acrobat / Edit Preferences / Reviewing, set Server Type to "Network Folder" and browse for a folder to save comments to.
- Open Registry and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\Annots\cAnnots\cAnnot\tauthor
- tauthor should be showing "TESTING" that we entered earlier
- Open a browser window and drag a PDF into it
- Add a Note, the Author name is fixed to be the Windows Login name.

How can I change my apple registry to Canadian from US?

I received my ipod while in the US and set it up there so I could use it for the months before I went home to Canada.
But now at home I cannot access any Canadian apps ( like my bank) because it's a 'US' ipod.
How can I change the apple registry to reflect my actual country?

No reason to restore yoou iPod. Just:
- Edit you Apple ID/iTunes account account to associate it with Canada. Make sure the payment method is associated with Canada. the usually means the billing address for credit cards and when iTunes gift cards were purchased. You can only used gift cards in the country's stores in when they were purchased (you can use a USA card in the Canadian iTunes/App Store).
- If you have an outstanding balance from a USA gift card you have to get rid of it before you can purchase items

JMF Registry crashes Win-XP trying to recognise non-standard USB camera

I am trying to use JMF to interface a USB-2 frame grabber and PAL video camera to NIH's ImageJ Java image treatment application. My trial installation instructions are on: http://www.neutronoptics.com/imagej.html
I got this working fine with a simple Philips 640x480 color SPC900NC webcam, but naturally I want to use a more serious camera :-) BTW, JMF only recognised one of the 3 cameras I had plugged in, even though the others were all recognised by Windows.
My first problem is that my serious PAL camera is of course 720x576 encoded by a USB-2 frame grabber to 8-bit graylevels, i.e. not the JMF max of 640x480 :-) Is this max 640x480 likely to change ? If JMF is limited to simple webcams, I cant use it.
If I ran JMF Registry with my PAL camera and framegrabber plugged in but not active, it crashed my Win-XP machine when I tried to "Detect Capture Devices" (Nasty!) However if I activated my camera by running another video capture application it did then detect a "vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture" device as it did with the webcam. And my Java capture plugin for ImageJ even opened a window for the PAL camera, although it was displayed as blank (pink).
Is what I am trying to do completely impossible ? NIH ImageJ is the top public domain scientific imaging application, all in Java, and it seems a pity that I can't input an ordinary PAL camera to it. (There is a non-Java front-end called microManager that inputs many cameras to ImageJ, but not mine :-(
I am not a real programmer, just a technical user, and I hope some-one can tell me if I am wasting my time or not with this.

If JMF is limited to simple webcams, I cant use it.JMF is never, ever going to change. It hasn't been updated, bug-fixed, or otherwise supported since before Windows XP came out...
Moral of the story is, new stuff mostly doesn't work with it...unless the new stuff is backwards compatible.
I am not a real programmer, just a technical user, and I hope some-one can tell me if I am wasting my time or not with this.You're wasting your time with this. JMF is mostly dead and just waiting for JavaFX to get it's act together and go ahead and kill it off.

JMF Registry Editor reports "Capture device query unsuccesful"

I am working with JMF. Sometimes (maybe 1/3rd of the time) when I go into JMF Registry Editor, Capture Devices and click "Detect Capture Devices". I get an error that says "Capture device query unsuccesful".
There is no further information. Nothing is logged in the log file. I can find nothing about this in the documentation, nor can I find this text in the downloadable source. Anyone know what this means?
Also, as far as I can tell, this has nothing to do with how my device is connected and so on, it will work one time, and not another.
Thanks,
Joe Larson

I am having the same problem, however it never works for me. I noticed that when the JMFInit runs that the program terminates while it is apparently still quering a device. I think that it's a timeout issue. I seems like the device query is not waiting long enough for the devices to respond. I have not found a way to change the timeout value. Any ideas on how to change the timeout value?
Also, have you had any success in using the JMF for video capture and transmission. I am working on a chat program. For now, it's just for fun, but maybe will will make is a sellable product later.
Take care,
John

How can I change the BlackBerry Link Network Drive mapping from Z: to something else?

Hello,
I generally have a mapping to my NFS server on Z:, and my iTunes library has a relative path to Z: for all of my music - the fact that Link is automatically picking Z: as my network sync target for my device does not work for me to sync music, or anything really. I can't figure out how to change this value to something else.
I found the registry key: \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Research In Motion\Device Manager\Device Settings\<DEVICENAME>\VolumeMapping with a default blank REG_SZ - can I use this key at all to manually change drive mappings for my device? If so, what is the key/value pair I need and will this mess up any assumptions taken inside the Link software for synching?
... Also, I have a Feature Enhancement Request to go along with this issue: Add a "Change drive map letter" button beside the "Turn on wireless connections to my computer" button in Link, and add the same option in the context menu to the 'Device Manager' for the mapping (which currently just says 'Explore').
Thanks for the help,
- Jeff

I do not know a lot about this subject but since Device Manager is not a Device and the BlackBerry Phone is not recognized as a Device in Disk management unless Mass Storage is turned ON it looks as if by design you cannot change the Drive Letter.
Also if Mass Storage is turned On in the Phone Settings File Manager and BB link will not work but the BB Phone will then be recognized as a Device in Disk Management and the Drive Letter can be changed, this has no effect on the Drive Letters for Device Manager.
Normally to change the Drive Letter and Paths of a Device once the Device is plugged you would go to Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management, right click the Device and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths"
Changing the Registry or Uninstalling Device Manager but keeping BB Link or looking for a Utility that can change the Drive Letter such as the one that many XP users had called TweakUI (only worked in XP) or changing the Drive Letter for your Network may be the only way.

Can't change printer port on Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2

1. Install "Lexmark X646e Class Driver" using a in-box print driver (i.e. one comes with the Windows installation base) .
2. Go to "Printer properties" -> "Port"
3. Select a custom monitor port, and the following error occurs in Event Viewer.
An error occurred while configuring print queue 'Lexmark X646e Class Driver'. Printer driver 'Lexmark X646e Class Driver' may not be used in conjunction with a non-inbox port monitor.
Same steps applied on Windows 8 and Server 2012, and not issues found. The restriction/limitation is newly added in Window 8.1 and Server 2012 R2.
Changing to a custom monitor port after printer driver installation is very important for us.
How can we solve or workaround the above issue, so it can behave like Windows 8 and Server 2012?

What Port Monitor just so I can bubble this information to some others?
Alan Morris Windows Printing Team
Hi Alan:
We developed a custom printing system, which involved the following configurations:
1. Create a custom port monitor on server 2012 r2.
2. Change an existing print queue to use this custom port monitor, and share this print queue.
3. All workstations will print to this shared print queue on the server.
The goal is to manage/monitor the print information in StartDocPort for all printing for instance. This is what we've been doing for a long time.
Now we upgraded our system from server 2012 to server 2012 R2, but we can't change the port monitor to our ones anymore.
I've tried the Type3 printer driver, such as Brother Color Type3 Class Driver, unfortunately it didn't work if the installation is using "Add a printer", and select the driver from the list.
The only way to make it work is to install the printer driver using the one downloaded from the vendor's website, this will bypass Windows "Add a printer".
Is there any chance we can make this to behave like server 2012 or earlier? Modify registry keys?
Cheers
Steven

How do you get your webcam device name from the JMF registry?

Ya, I don't know where the JMF registry is.....is there a list somewhere in the API? Is it somewhere in the Windows registry files after installing JMF? I keep hearing you need to do this when creating a webcam application but never seen it explained anywhere.

The registry is a file located in the lib directory under the installation of Java Media Framework, called jmf.properties.
You can edit it with the jmfregistry application provided with JMF, or using the proper classes such as the CaptureDeviceManager.

I accidentally changed my default browser to Firefox. I need it back on IE. Now, my shortcut to IE goes to Firefox instead. So, I don't have IE to change it. How can I change my default browser back to IE through Firefox? Thanks!

Don't know what else to add. I always use Firefox. My husband refuses to. I have a shortcut for him to get to the internet, and it always came up to via IE. Now, I somehow accidentally changed the default browser to Firefox, so when using that shortcut, it takes him to the Firefox browser instead of IE. He is furious! How can I change it back?

You can make IE the default browser, that will reset some registry keys 
Control Panel > Internet Options: Programs 
Put a check in the box next to 'Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser' 
Start IE and let IE make itself the default browser.
Check the default settings in: 
Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > "Set Program Access And Defaults" (on the left) 
Open: Custom (click arrow on the right) 
Select "Internet Explorer" under "Choose a default Web Browser" 
Click OK

Can't change home page in IE 11

I just got my new Y510p and the biggest issue so far is that I can't change my home page from MSN to the one I want. I've tried the normal way but no dice. Every time I reboot it goes back to MSN. I've been in situations on my old machine where I couldn't change my homepage because my browser was hijacked by malware (which I was able to resolve), but this is a brand new machine, fresh out of the box. Has anyone had the same experience?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You did not mention whether you checked your security to see if it has an option to prevent registry changes. If it does, they will return on a reboot.
Try the following:
1. Create a folder on your desktop. Name it HijackThis.
2. Please download the .exe version of HijackThis from http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/hijackthis/ to your desktop's HijackThis folder. The folder HijackThis is where you will find a Backups Folder containing any HJT logs that you save. When you use the application to remove anything, you will also find the backup copies made by HJT inside this folder. The backups can be restored if you choose to do so.
3. Double click on the HJT.exe to launch the tool. Check the Main Menu button at the bottom center. When the main menu appears check the box "Show this window when I start HijackThis".
4. Run a scan by clicking on Do a system scan.
5. Place a checkmark next to this one entry if found:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://lenovo13-comm.msn.com
6. Click Fix Checked.
7. Close HijackThis and reboot.
Let us know how that goes.

JMF Registry Capture Device register a mobile camera(Problem or Impossible)

Hi all
I have found some softwares that allows us using mobile phone camera as a web cam and use with skype, yahoo messenger etc... Those allows us use them as wireless web cameras and medium is bluetooth or wifi. So I am wondering whether they can register with JMF capture device registry and using for our java applications?
Supporting for wireless capability is important if they can registered. Otherwise we have to go for an expensive IP cameraWhat I want to point out is they detect as registered web cameras in skype and yahoo messenger but not with JMF.
This is the software which I have tried
[http://www.wwigo.com/home.php]
Can anyone please answer?
Edited by: deshan on May 3, 2009 3:33 PM

JMF will only work with web cameras that are accessible through the DirectShow or VFW interfaces. If the way you're accessing them isn't available through one of those two APIs, then JMF probably won't be able to use the web cam.
But, of note, JMF doesn't need a web cam to be registered to use it, it simply needs to know the hardware URL of the web cam. Normally this is something like "vfw://0" for the default camera.
If you could get a URL like that, and use it as a MediaLocator for your DataSource, then you could possibly use your web cam without having to register it.
