Can't run a lot of programs unless the program is in compatibility mode

Recently, I have been unable to run certain programs like Steam and Skype, and even browsers, without the use of compatibility mode. It has become so frustrating that I cannot run a certain game in compatibility mode because it may seem I would be doing
so with ill intentions. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Have you recently upgraded windows version?
Have you used system restore or back-up disk?
What is your current windows version?
What operating system is your pc native to? (32bit or 64bit)
Can you remember any actions that took place that possibly caused issues?

How can i run a windows based program on mac book pro

Can I run a windows based program on mac book pro mountain lion 10.8.4

You can use bootcamp to install windows natively on the hard drive. You then choose which OS you wish to use at startup - OS X or Windows.
You can also install Windows in a virtual machine - Parallels or VMWare Fusion - and run it simultaneously with OS X (a virtual machine is just a PC emulated in software, and you install and run windows in the emulated machine hardware).

Can I run a windows software program taht is on a CD on my macbook pro after I install bootcamp and windows xp home?

Can I run a windows software program that is on a CD on my macbook pro after I install bootcamp and windows xp home?

genepaquin,
the last MacBook Pros that supported installing Windows XP in a Boot Camp partition are the Mid 2010 models. If your MacBook Pro is newer than that, and you don’t have a newer version of Windows to install into a Boot Camp partition on your MacBook Pro, then you might consider an alternative such as running Windows with the help of programs such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop rather than through Boot Camp.

URGENT PLEASE:How can I run a a class file on the Apache server?

Hi Guys and Gurus,
I am seeking some favor all of experienced gurus, i.e.
How can I run a a class file on the Apache server? Can I run through an Applet?
How can I set Environment variables in Windows2000 Professional Environment?
Actually, I want to extract some records from a MySQL Database running on Apache Server. I wrote a program just to select the columns and show them. It is now a Class file, Now how can I run this class file from the Server???
The code is here
import java.sql.*;
public class RecordShow {
public static void main(String args[]) {
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/myhost";
Connection con;
String query = "select mytable.column," +
"from mytable " +
"where mytable.column = 1";
Statement stmt;
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
} catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
try {
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,
"myuser", "mypassword");
stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
int numberOfColumns = rsmd.getColumnCount();
int rowCount = 1;
while (rs.next()) {
System.out.println("Row " + rowCount + ": ");
for (int i = 1; i <= numberOfColumns; i++) {
System.out.print(" Column " + i + ": ");
System.out.println(rs.getString(i));
System.out.println("");
rowCount++;
stmt.close();
con.close();
} catch(SQLException ex) {
System.err.print("SQLException: ");
System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
Please advise... THANKS

Ehm, I wasn't referring to you at all... read up,
there's a comment by jschell saying that CGI might be
easier/better for his purposes.
Yep.
I know PHP/Perl/whatever might be easier for some
purposes, but only if you happen to know them and want
to/are able to use them. Ok. But you aren't the one asking the question are you. And the person who asked the question seems to have absolutely no familiarity with Apache or applets.
So whatever they do they are going to have to learn a lot.
And that does indeed suggest that in all likelyhood they have not investigated the alternatives.
And for the vast majority of internet applications, especially with smaller projects (obvious this person is not working with a large team), using perl, or something besides java, is going to be the best business solution. It is simpler, and more secure (probably due to the fact that it is simpler.)
Since this is a Java forum, I
answer under the assumption that people have made a
choice one way or another to use a Java solution to
their problem, so I try to solve it in Java first, and
only when that fails (very seldom) do I turn to other
solutions.You approach problems by arbritrarily deciding to try to solve it in java first and only if you fail do you then look to other solutions?
My first step is to try to figure out which of the various avenues is going to cost less. (And a secondary, but non-trivial concern, is then to convince the customer that just because they have heard of a buzz word like 'enterprise bean' that it doesn't mean that is a cost effective solution.) We must come from different worlds.

Alternatively, partition your internal HD and dual-boot it. Do note that you have to reboot to switch back and forth. You can't do it by logging out and back in.

Can I run 2 monitor with one of the monitor having Full Screen for Elgato Eye TV?

My mac mini has Elgato 'Eye TV' software that runs in 'Full Screen'. I want to keep this setting & also connect another monitor to the macmini & use other Appilications on the other monitor? Can I run 2 monitor with one of the monitor having Full Screen for Elgato Eye TV?
My early 2009 macmini can run Mac OS 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 & 10.8

Yes, run one from HDMI and the other from Thunderbolt/minidisplayport sockets. In EyeTV Preferences check the screen you want for full screen use and make sure your Dock is on the other one.

My iMessage will not use wifi to send messages unless the phone is on Airplane mode

I cannot send or receive texts at home because there is insufficient service at my house so I use iMessage over wifi. The issue is that when I am on wifi and out of service the phone will not send iMessages or texts over wifi unless the phone is in Airplane mode. Does anyone know how to make wifi the default iMessage so that I can send iMessages over wifi without going to Airplane mode? It tries to send them but it acts as if there is no service when I have full wifi and as soon as I switch to Airplane mode and keep wifi connected, all messages send fine.

Do the basic troubleshooting steps, as needed, described in the User Guide, Appemdix B: restart, reset, restore using a backup, restore as new.

How can I run two independant LabView applications from the same computer, without taking a performance hit?

I have two identical, but independant test stations, both feeding data back to a Data Acquisition Computer running LabView 6.1. Everything is duplicated at the computer as well, with two E-series multifunction I/O cards (one for each test station) and two instances of the same LabView program for acquiring and analysing the data. The DAQ computer has a Celeron processor w/ 850Mhz clock and 512MB memory, and is running on Windows NT.
I have noticed that when I run both the applications simultaneously, I take a substantial performance hit in terms of processing speed (as opposed to running just one program). Why does this happen and how can I prevent it? (In t
his particular case, it may be possible to combine both the tests into one program since they are identical, but independant, simultaneous control of two different LabView programs is a concept I need to prove out).
Thanks in advance for any tips, hints and spoon feedings (!)....

Depending on your application, you may or may not be able to improve things.
Firstly, each task requires CPU time, so a certain performance difference is guaranteed. Making sure you have a "wait until ms" in every while loop helps in all but the most CPU intensive programs.
Secondly, if you are
1) streaming data to disk
2) Acquiring lots of data over the PCI bus
3) Sending lots of data o ver the network
you can have bottlenecks elsewhere than in your program (limited Disk, PCI or Network bandwidth).
Avoid also displaying data which doesn`t need to be displayed. An array indicator which only shows one element still needs a lot of processing time if the array itself is large.... Best is to set the indicator invisible if this is the case.
I think
it would be best if you could give some more information about the amount of data being acquired, processed and sent. Then maybe it will be more obvious where you can optimise things. If you are running W2000, try activating the task manager while the program(s) are sunning to see where the bottleneck is.

Can we run Payment medium or dunning in the profit center level also ?

Hi friends
Is it possible we can run a payment medium program or dunning in the profit center level.If it is yes means, how we can run at the profit center level for all vendors and customers

HI Arivind,
This is possible when in the line item is a profit center.
Use for this the tab Free selection.
BUT.
In a lot of situations there is no profit centers in the line!!
When you make a posting (or from SD) it possible to have 1 line on debtor or creditor and more profit centers on the other line's.
When this is from SD you can create dunning areas based on sales org/ devision/ distr chanel. Then you can use this for dunning

Can I run FCP7 and FCP X on the same system?

I can't open my FCP 7 projects in FCP X so I will need both programs to run simultaneously so I can access previous work while building new cuts. This seems utterly ridiculous but it appears to be true. Please correct me if I'm wrong since I have more than 400 FCP 7 projects, the majority of which are still ongoing... what do I do to handle this, start from scratch on 400 projects that date back several years... brutal.

Personally, I'd never switch a project in which I've invested time and effort to a new application, other than a test project to begin the investigation into how the new app could work in the future. I don't think "pros" even update an existing app like FCP while in a project unless the update is specifically for an issue they are having with their project. FCP7 is great and will continue to be great, ongoing projects should stay there.
It will be interesting to see as FCP X matures if Apple or a third party develops a way to import FCP7 projects, or at least aspects of it, but as FCP X is such a different approach I wouldn't count on it.
Apparently that means that someday we'll need to "freeze" an FCP7 installed system in time (not today, but in the next year os so) to be able to just work on and have access to FCP7 projects. New and discontinued apps are a fact of life in computer world, as inconvenient as it may be. Operating Systems, and hardware that will run them, go away too. In 20+ years I've had to abandon OS platforms, apps, and documents, or make a switch where I had to start over, but never anything as complex or meaningful as my FCP7 projects.
So, basically, I agree with Tom, I just use a few more words. ::grin::

How can i run 2 i tunes accounts on the same computer without songs duplicating?

my wife and I both have ipods, how do you run an account each on the same computer without files syncing on both ipods/ libraries?

Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I
have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax.

Can you run Photoshop CS3 and CS5 on the same system?

I did this before on another system where I had both CS2 and CS3 installed and I could run either version when I wanted. Back then I just never bothered to uninstall CS2.
Now on this system I'm tunning CS3 and I have some plug ins I use regularly that aren't compatible with CS5 and I don't want to lay out the cash again for them. So I'd like to be able to install CS5 and use it primarily but when I need to use the plug ins then just switch to CS3.
I've noticed many programs these days won't run on top of another version. So is there any reason I won't be able to run both?

Absolutely. All versions of Photoshop can coexist simultaneously, though you can only run one at a time.
It's usual not to install the old version until you're sure the new one is working great. If you have the space, never uninstall it. It's handy to have it around for answering questions, here for example.

How can I run Photoshop Elements4 with Windows7. The operating system will not open and run it.

My New computer has windows 7 installed, and it will not open and run my photoshop elements 4 programme. Do I need an upgrade, or can it be run in any other format on this computer.

Did it install and you're just getting errors trying to run it? If so, try clicking on your Start button. Then, go to All Programs, find the entry for Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 and "right click" on it. Select Properties, and in the Properties dialogue click the Compatibility Tab and try running it in XP Compatibility mode and see if it works that way.
If not, then it is really not compatible. Just buy the latest (Photoshop Elelments 9) while they offer $40 mail-in rebate (Ends January 5, 2011)
