Classic OS window closes immediately

I am running Tiger 10.4.3 and I have an application that needs to run in Classic mode. So, I installed OS 9.2 from the CD that came with my system. I got no error messages.
I try and start Classic environment and I see the blue bar going across with the Mac OS 9 logo. Once the blue bar gets all the way across, however, the window that it's in closes immediately. I see no error messages.
If I'm not mistaken, the OS 9 icon should stay in the dock like all other open applications, but it doesn't. Am I wrong on this? When I go to System Preferences and click on Classic, it shows that Classic is started.
So, I tried to do it the other way. I started a Classic OS application so Classic would launch and it does the same thing.
I saw some suggestions in this forum. I don't have a Divx in the Applications/Library folder. I also ran the Disk Utility and Repaired All permission issues. I have not tried reinstalling OS 9 from the Disk that came with my system.
Any ideas

Daniel, trying anothr application is always a good idea, because many publishers failed to update their applications to take account of the fact that Classic isn't OS 9, so many individual applications just won't work…
Generally, the Classic Startup window should close as soon as the blue bar hits gets across to the right but no, the OS 9 icon should not stay in the dock.

SkillBuilders Modal Page... closes immediately after loading

I would like to use the Modal Page plug-in from http://www.skillbuilders.com .*
I installed the two sample applications from their web site with different results:
The employee example works fine.
The example with the modal feedback worked fine yesterday, but today it shrinks (after loading normally) so that I can't see anything but the bar with the window name and the close button.
In my own application it's even worse:
I have links in a table which should open a modal window on click.
I tried several settings, but the only thing that's happening is that the window closes immediately after loading and showing the page for a half a second (or not at all).
Leaving the "Auto-close On Element Selector" empty did not work. The default value "div#success-message" kept coming back until I replaced it with "null". But still no effect.
Does anyone have any idea what could cause this behaviour?
Best regards,
Sabine
The Security Settings for all three applications:
Cache: Enabled
Embed in Frames: Allow

In the meantime I had the problem that the window didn't close at all, but I think I figured it out.
So if the Modal Plug In does not work properly, check the following:
<li>Does every process that should close the window have a 'Success Message' defined?
<li>In the unconditional branch, is "include process success message" checked?
<li>In the dynamic action, is "Auto-close On Element Selector" set to "div.t1success" in the true action?
BTW: The "shrinking problem" described in the first post still exists - in IE. In Firefox, it works fine.
Best regards,
Sabine

Finder window closes as soon as it opens

I have some recovered data that has been giving me problems. After copying the folder back to a rebuilt MBP, the finder window closes immediately upon opening that folder. Any ideas on what exactly is corrupt or forcing this window to close?
MBP 17, 10.8.2

I guess if this were happening to me, I would suspect that one or more files in that folder is sufficiently corrupted to kill the Finder. I would create a new folder and, using Terminal and its mv command, move files one by one into the new folder, testing to see if the original folder can be opened after each step. Others may have better plans....

Windows 8.1 Apps open and close immediately

We have joined a laptop running Windows 8 to the domain however none of the apps work. They open and then close immediately.
The error in the event log is:The app microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe!Microsoft.WindowsLive.Calendar's package family (microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe) has more than one package installed. This is not supported, so the app
was not activated for the Windows.Launch contract.
The problem doesn't happen with a local user or before the laptop was on the domain.
We have tried following with no luck:
*Permission changes for ALL APLICATION PACKAGES
* Laptop and user in an OU with no group policies applying
*Same ISO re-downloaded
*Registry changes advised by Microsoft
* Local admin rights to domain user
Uninstalling and re-installing the apps manually fixed this issue but this isn't the correct way of fixing this as Windows 8 will be rolled out company wide.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Hi,
How are the APPs installed on the PC before joining into domain? With Microsoft account?
Besides, have you checked this blog?
What to do if your Windows 8 Modern App fails to start
Please follow the steps mentioned to see if any group policy settings(like AppLocker, logon scripts or proxy settings) or the image itself caused this.

Whenever I launch a new Google window, Google immediately re-opens all other windows I happen to have open but minimized. I then have to either close or re-minimize each window, one at a time. What a pain!!

Whenever I launch a new Google window, Google immediately re-opens all other windows I happen to have open but minimized. I then have to either close or re-minimize each window, one at a time. What a pain!!

Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
Here are some other things to check:
(1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
(3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
(4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Hopefully that cures it.

Reader opens and closes immediately by itself when try to open PDF from windows live mail or browser

Hi,
I'm having problems with acrobat xi since installing it on my windows 7 computer.
Every time I try to open up a pdf file from windows live mail or a browser.. it opens and closes immediately. The only way I can view it is if I save the file onto the computer, open up acrobat reader first then open up the file in there.
How do I make it work properly again please?
I've tried several things so far like..
-Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
-Disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
Please help me. Thanks.

How can I tell which one it is exactly? I think it is Acrobat Reader.. 11.0.10...
I can only open up a PDF if I save it to my computer and then open up the Acrobat program then open up a file using file > open.
But if I try and view a pdf from an email attachment in Windows Live Mail.. or from a browser... it will open and close immediately.
How do I fix this please? thanks.

ITunes Match Step 3 doesn't load, Windows Closes iTunes. Solution?

Since October 27, 2013 have not been able to get all 3 steps of the iTunes Match to complete. Steps 1 & 2 load correctly and a green check mark appears for each. However, when things move to Step 3 an error message immediately appears that indicates "iTunes has stopped working", and Windows closes iTunes.
My laptop is running Window 7. Apple Tech Support had me uninstall all components of iTunes and then (re)load the latest version on my laptop. All music in my iTunes library has always played correctly on my iPod Classic. (Note: the iPod Classic has not been synced sinced the problems with the iTunes Match load surfaced as I am fearful of corrupting what's there. Which also means all recent iTunes store purchases cannot be played on the iPod classic until it sync'd.) Accessing the iTunes music library on the iPod Touch shows that some tracks are greyed out and not available which seems consistent with the failure of Step 3 to load. Need help. Thanks.

Hi,
Try holding shift key whilst turning off match. This will clear genius / match cache. Close iTunes then reopen. Turn on match, you will be asked to add this computer, do so and let process complete.
You should also add iCloud status column to song view - menu > view > view options and tick box. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, duplicate or inelligible. It will show tracks that have not been processed as "waiting". If you have any such tracks, one or more may be preventing completion. You may need to remove such tracks and gradually readd until match processes them. This may help identify problem tracks.

IE open and close immediately. Can't fix using many methods.

A user reports that can't use IE 8 suddenly.
His PC is Windows 7 Pro sp1 and using Internet Explorer 8.
Don't know what he did before and he ever tried restore to previous point but no help.
I've tried the following.
1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967896
   Reset Internet Explorer to its default settings or
   Uninstall and then reinstall Internet Explorer through Turning on/ off windows features.
2. Use other user like Administrator to open IE. But result is same
3. Upgrade to IE 11. Still open and close immediately only.
   Repeat step 1 but still not solve.
4. Downloaded IE 11 and installed manually but it stated that IE 11 was installed. (Had turned off IE to uninstall it through Turning on/ off windows features)
Asked him to use Chrome but some websites need IE. So he must use IE too.
Please advise that how to fix it.
Hope not need to re-install OS.
Many thnaks.

1. Are there any traces in Event logs?
2. Try to delete history in IE
3. Try to disable add-ons.
4. If nothing helps, analyze your system with Process Monitor and Process Explorer. Check which programs starts with Autoruns (all programs are from Sysinternals)

Scheduled job does not stop even after the scheduling window closes

We have written custom stats gathering job whose duration has been set as 14 hours in the schedule. This job starts daily at 6:00 PM and expected to complete upto 8:00 AM next day. But the problem is that this job continues to execute even after 14 hours. If we look at the dba_scheduler_job_run_details table, then its execution duration is about 16 - 19 hours daily. We could not understand as why it is not closed when scheduling window closes? Is there any problem with the scheduler configuration?

Straight out of the docs 83 DBMS_SCHEDULER
stop_on_window_close
This attribute only applies if the schedule of a job is a window or a window group. Setting this attribute to TRUE implies that the job should be stopped once the associated window is closed. The job is stopped using the stop_job procedure with force set to FALSE.
Having said that, stop_job with force applies to whether information about the job is gathered - you would have to test, but I believe that the statistics gather will be terminated in the middle of whatever it's doing.
Update: force says:
force
If force is set to FALSE, the Scheduler tries to gracefully stop the job using an interrupt mechanism. This method gives control back to the slave process, which can update the status of the job in the job queue to stopped. If this fails, an error is returned.
If force is set to TRUE, the Scheduler will immediately terminate the job slave. Oracle recommends that STOP_JOB with force set to TRUE be used only after a STOP_JOBwith force set to FALSE has failed.

Acrobat X closes immediately when PDF is double clicked

I run CS6 (English) on Windows 8 (German). If I double click a PDF Acrobat opens and immediately closes again. I can drag the PDF document on window head and the document opens fine. I can also click to a PDF that is pinned to the task bar and it opens. But if I double click a PDF document it closes immediately. I'm aware of the EULA bug and also applied the AcrobatFix. Since I'm able to open the documents and no EULA shows up when I open Acrobat it seems to be somethibgn different. It is really annoying.
Marcus

Partly solution:
I saw that the PDF files where associated with Acrobat Reader which has been updated to version 11. I changed the association to Acrobat X and now I can open the files with a double click again.
