CS6 Multiple Instances of Pref's File

I have been struggling with an issue where CS6 x64 (Windows 7 SP1) keeps loosing OpenCL, requiring I trash my preferences to gte it back. This evening it happened again. I was using Bridge 6, ACR 7.1 Beta and CS6 x64 version and it happened again. Trashed the preferences and even with mutilple reboots would not recognize OpenCL. So being the curious type I did a search for the Pref's file; and found two (2) instances of CS6 x64 preferences, One in the normal place....../Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop 6/Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings, then another instance in /Roaming/Adobe/ Adobe Photoshop CS5/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings. Trashed this one as well and OPen CL worked again.
Is this normal behavior to have duplicate Pref's for CS6 x64? Probably not, so what is going on? And can confirm that every now and then a duplicate will show up in the CS5 directory, not consistent, and have not yet found the trigger, but one is definitely there.
Apart from OpenCL not working when this happens, everything seems to work normally...
Thoughts, comments?
MK

Since I started using CS6 beta, my CS5 std open GL was turned off...CS6 runs Open GL/CL just fine every time. 3D works OK.
Reset prefs in CS5 and it runs fine (Open GL et al OK)...even if I change to another user workspace config...but restart next time and OpenGL is off again...prefs reset makes it work OK. If shutdown and restarted with prefs having been reset...Open GL does not start OK...must do prefs reset every time.
CS6 beta runs out shortly; will delete it and see if CS5 runs normally again like it did for a long time.
Hopefully new purchase/upgrade to released CS6 will be fine and I'll not be using CS5 much ever anyway....but wondering what the issue is.
Maybe I'll search for prefs files too just before and after deleting CS6 Ps beta.
I use dual monitors but have not had any issues that I am aware of for any app.
I'm using a Radeon 6870 1GB card

Creating multiple instances for a single file in B2B

Hi,
I have a requirement to read the camt.053 file from the remote partner using Oracle B2B and send the file to oracle AIA and insert the data in the ERP database tables. I am able to read the file successfully through B2B using listening channel and send the data to AIA and insert the data in ERP tables but, if there is any error occured while inserting the data in the ERP tables it is creating multiple instances(6 message count) for the same file in B2B reports. where as it is creating only one entry in reports in case of successful insertion. I have not given any retry count in listening channel nor in the database adapter in SOA/AIA composite. I am confused from where B2B is retrying the message ? Do i need to set any system properties? Could you please guide me to resolve this issue?
Regards,
Nishanth.

App message delivery is not retried in B2B, rather failed messages are delivered to the IP_IN_QUEUE. Please enable the logging for B2B engine in TRACE 32 mode and run a test to reproduce the behaviour. Post the log here or mail across to my id (in my profile).

XI-Multiple instance scenario -File & SQL sender communication channels

Hi
i have a basic question regarding how file sender communication channel ( where we poll for a particular file pattern either using file/ftp types in a particular subfolder ) or a sql sender communication channel - ( selecting records from a sql source ) would work in a scenario with two active XI instances and j2EE file and sql adapter services running on both of the J2EE servers ?
1. How would the file polling from both J2EE servers - avoid a conflict looking for the same file pattern ? Is there any inbuilt mechanism from SAP to make multiple instances work with the file polling - without a confict ?
2. Simlar question for SQL sender type communication channel ?
If SAP does have a mechanism to handle multiple instance scenarios for file and sql sender adapter based communication channels, is there a link/document on this ?

Hi Karthik,
Please see my comments.
I am just wondering aloud - what will happen if we use a select for update clause in the sql sender adapter communication channel -
Gouri: Yes you can use select + update. In fact that is the right way.
will this ensure that polling from one J2EE instance will lock the selected records so that the second instance does not select the same set of records from the sql server ? Or should we not use a select for update and use a simple select statement ?
Gouri: Yes. SQL DB will ensure that same data will not be picked by another node. As I mentioned earlier use serilizable option from advanced mode.

Static member problem in multiple instance of web application

Problem
I am working on a product which is java based. I have a war file. I have to deploy this war file in JBoss. Further, I need to run multiple instance of this war file in same JBoss instance.
Issue
     In that war file there is servlet Start.java. That servlet calls an other class from its init method. Here is code
public class Start extends HttpServlet
     public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
          super.init(config);
          DB.loadProperties (�db.properties�);
     } // init
     public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
          throws ServletException, IOException
               } // doGet
     public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
          throws ServletException, IOException
               } // doPost
} // Start
public final class DB implements Serializable
     public static final String     P_UID = "ApplicationUserID";
     private static final String     DEFAULT_UID = "System";
     public static final String     P_PWD = "ApplicationPassword";
     private static final String     DEFAULT_PWD ="System";
     public static final String     P_STORE_PWD = "StorePassword";
     private static Properties           s_prop = new Properties();
public static boolean loadProperties (String filename)
     {    // looks for properties file
s_prop = new Properties();
          FileInputStream fis = null;
          try
               fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
               s_prop.load(fis);
               fis.close();
          catch (FileNotFoundException e)
               log.warning(filename + " not found");
               loadOK = false;
     �}
As you can see if I deployed two instance of this war in JBoss and assume each instance point to its own properties file. The �Static� members are problem.
Restriction
     I am not allowed change the code or logic of the product. I must be able to get some thing outside or apply a patch to solve this problem.
Please Help
Possible option that I have thought
1 Using multiple JVM - Not an option in this project
2 Using multiple JBoss � Not the requirement (need to run only on single Instance of JBoss)
3 Use own class loader for war/ear � don�t know how in JBoss need help.
I am using JBoss 3.2.3
Thanks,
Kumaran

Static members belong to the class. So, you needto
think of multiple JVMs for your problem.Thanks for reply.
don�t know how in JBoss need helpJust guessing... clustered environment MAYBE
RichThanks Rich,
I don�t know how Cluster environment solve my problem. I need more information on your thought. Cloud you explain it.

Need help - Loading Multiple instance of the same image

Hi guys,
I have been trying for days now, to get this working but i'm not able to do so, i have been trying to get actionscript to load multiple instance of an image file using a for loop.
Would anyone be able to enlighten me on this? the other functions are located on a seperate actionscript file.
many thanks
part of the code is as follows: (it works if i use the graphic class)
function makeRoad():void{
    var row:int = 0;//the current row we're working on
    var block;//this will act as the block that we're placing down
    for(var i:int=0;i<lvlArray.length;i++){//creating a loop that'll go through the level array
        if(lvlArray[i] == 0){//if the current index is set to 0
            block = new EmptyBlock();//create a gray empty block
            block.graphics.beginFill(0x333333);
            block.graphics.drawRect(0,0,25,25);
            block.graphics.endFill();
            addChild(block);
            //and set the coordinates to be relative to the place in the array
            block.x= (i-row*22)*25;
            block.y = row*25;
            } else if(lvlArray[i] == 1){//if there is supposed to be a row
            //just add a box that will be a darker color and won't have any actions
            block = new Shape();
            block.graphics.beginFill(0x111111);
            block.graphics.drawRect(0,0,25,25);
            block.graphics.endFill();
            block.x= (i-row*22)*25;
            block.y = row*25;
            roadHolder.addChild(block);//add it to the roadHolder
        } else if(lvlArray[i] is String){//if it's a string, meaning a special block
            //then create a special block
            block = new DirectBlock(lvlArray[i],(i-row*22)*25,row*25);
            addChild(block);
        for(var c:int = 1;c<=16;c++){
            if(i == c*22-1){
                //if 22 columns have gone by, then we move onto the next row
                row++;

@Kalisto - i don't think that is the real issue here since we cannot see what is in the DirectBlock class and the OP has not mentioned any compiler errors.
Desmond - it appears as though you are constructing this in the form of a 'grid' - correct? but the problem i believe is that the positioning is not being determined properly - to do something like you want here (i think) you would use what known as a 'nested loop' - this means the 'outer' loop handles iteration of the 'rows' and an 'inner' loop handles the iteration of the columns. the way you have this set up above, you are attempting to use the 'row' value to position both the row and column - this wont work and it's likely that everything is getting 'stacked' on top of one another.
may want to structure things a bit more like this:
function makeRoad():void {
     var index:int = 0;
     for(var row=0; row<22; row++) {
          for(var col=0; col<22; col++) {
               index = (row*22)+col;
               if(lvlArray[index] == 0) createBlock(0x333333, col*25, row*25);
               if(lvlArray[index] == 1) createBlock(0x111111, col*25, row*25);
               if(lvlArray[index] is String) roadHolder.addChild( new DirectBlock(lvlArray[index], col*25, row*25) );
function createBlock(color, xp, yp):void {
     var block:Shape = new Shape();
     block.graphics.beginFill(color);
     block.graphics.drawRect(0,0,25,25);
     block.graphics.endFill();
     block.x = xp;
     block.y = yp;
     roadHolder.addChild(block);
note: i do not know how many 'rows' you intend to have and are stored in the array so the row<22 will need adjustment

How to use/sync single data (file) across multiple instances of same application

Currently we have an application (a diagram editor), that have the ability to save and load (serialize) its state in a xml file.
Now we want this application to behave like Microsoft OneNote application. Where multiple users have the ability to access the same file.
Later we may also need to enhance with other things like, (1)what is changed and who changed it, (2)option to resolve conflicts if any.
I came to know about sync framework to resolve this. so far, i have not tried it.
All i want is,
Virtually single file should be edited by multiple instances of same application.
We need a dll (sync framework) that does following
It takes complete responsibility of file handling.
Using this dll, each instance of the application will notify their own changes.
Each instance of the application should have the ability to detect the changes that is recently made (when, who, what are the changes).
My question:
Will sync framework be suitable for this requirement?
If so, is there a demo application that represents this?
- Jegan

Seems like I have found the solution.
In the taskflow there is a property named data-control-scope and I set it to isolated instead of the default (shared) and this seemed to do the trick.
I can now have two instances of the same taskflow running with different ApplicationModules
Cheers,
Mark

Open excel files in multiple instances

When ever i open the excel files it opens as different windows of the same instance . Is there any way to open in multiple instances of excel ... I saw some answes in forums which says about about unchecking 'Ignore other application that use DDE'
.. once i set that the excel file doesnot open again giving an error "there was a problem sending the command" ....
Could some one help me on this .. this is pretty urgent for me ... i am using this in my vb.net project with process.start(file) ...
i dont think i want to create an excel application and open the file in the code as i may not be able to release the com objects properly in my fuinctionality ....

Try this one:
1. To begin, we go to the registry. Click START, and in the RUN command line type REGEDIT and hit ENTER or click OK. This will start the registry editor.
2. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8\Shell\Open\Command
3. Double click on the (Default) instance over to the right. Right now this probably says something like:
If you have Office 2007 installed:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE /dde
Or, if you have Office 2010 installed
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE /dde
Change this value to:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE /e "%1"
for Office 2007 and for Office 2010 change it to:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE /e "%1"
4. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\Shell\Open\Command
Again, double click the (Default) entry to the right and change
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE /dde
to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE /e "%1"
When you exit the registry this should be all you need to do. Each time you double click on your Excel shortcut or type excel.exe in the command line a new instance of Excel is launched with the default spreadsheet.

Log messages from multiple instances in single file.

Hi!
I have a requirement that i need to log messages from muliple instances of the same object in a file. The new file will be created every day. Likewise, multiple objects might have various instances each.
One class
->multiple instances
-> log message stored in single file.
Note :
I am using the Message driven bean. I need to log from the bean class. JDK 1.3
If u could help me out that would be great.

As long as they are all from the same OS program (a single Java VM), that's OK - you can use Log4j, and use a rotating file logger.
If you point two different virtual machine processes at the same file, one may have it open when the other is trying to rotate it, and your rotation may fail (at best) and/or you may lose the old log (the worst case).
If you need to collect log messages from multiple processes (or even multiple machines), use a syslog-based logger (Log4j has a SyslogAppender) or use Log4j's SocketAppender to write to a log4j-builtin log listener (SocketNode).

Multiple instances of Word launching when opening files from Explorer window

I am seeing an odd behavior with Word 2010 (32 bit) that I could not replicate in earlier versions of Word.
Here are the steps:
Note: When performing these steps, I am on a 32 bit Windows 7 machine. Word is not running yet, and the Task Manager dialog is open with the processes sorted in reverse alpha order so that WinWord.exe will appear at the top.
1. Go to a folder containing a set of word documents or templates (all are in either .docx or .dotx format) in Windows Explorer.
2. Select a group of files (I am selecting 4 .docx files in my tests).
3. Right-click and select Open.
4. Four instances of WINWORD.EXE appear in the Task Manager (one of them then goes away, leaving only three instances running, but I think that's beside the point).
Could someone shed light on why this is happening with Word 2010 and if there's anything that can be done to make it "behave" and open only one instance?
PS - The templates contain no code, and no add-ins are loaded at the time that I perform these steps. Also, all Word and Office updates have been installed on the machine.
Thanks
Wordyone

Koero, did you try the registry hack proposed in this forum?
I started getting multiple instances of Word 2010 two days ago in Windows 7 on my company PC after a reboot following a Windows updates pushed out by the IT department.
This also happened immediately after a Windows update on May
27, 2014, but somehow I was able to stop that behavior then. That fix happened after I restored a old copy of Normal.dotm but evidently that
was not the solution because restoring that copy did not fix the problem today.
The fix suggested by
peebs7384 in this forum on April 19, 2012 of changing the "Lay
out this document" setting did not work on my PC.
One support person who has both the 2010 and 2013 versions indicated that he also gets multiple instances with 2010 but not with 2013.
I plan to ask my IT department to attempt a fix tomorrow and will suggest that they try registry hack posted in this forum by
kit_jj on Aug 16, 2012 (based on Pierre's posting) (thanks
kit_jj and Pierre).
By the way,
kit_jj's posting has only 1 vote & I would had hoped to see more votes. Now that I look more closely I see that this solution was "Proposed
as answer by kit_jj" himself. At least others have posted comments that indicate that fixes posted by
kit_jj & Pierre have worked (at least partially).
Any ideas as to why this started happening again?

Split file into multiple Instance of an IDoc .

My file (only one file) in the file system contains multiple entities(lets say sales order).Now using File adapter I want to transfer this file into XI and want XI to create multiple instance of an IDoc(for each sales order) and send them to the target system one by one.
Alternatively can I split the file into multiple entities(sales order) in the file adapter (using dispatcher for e.g) and send multiple message to the configured XI automatically.
Is any of the alternative possible in XI20.
Any responce would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Bikky.

Hi,
You can get the file adapter to split the file without the need for a dispatcher user exit. The config goes a little like this:
mode=FILE2XMBWITHSTRUCTURECONVERSION
xml.recordsetStructure=SALES_ORDER,1
xml.recordsetsPerMessage=1
This last parameter ensures each sales order is posted to the integration engine as a separate message. Therefore a separate Idoc is created for each.
Hope this helps.

Opening Files in Multiple Instances of Excel 2010

I've been using multiple instances of Excel 2003 using two monitors for a long time using Windows XP. I used to do this by opening Excel and opening Excel again from the Start menu and opening files through windows explorer and controlling which instance
of Excel it would open because it opens based on the recent active Excel instance. For example, I open Excel program instance #1 and then I open Excel program instance #2. If I click on the Excel program 1 and then go to windows explorer and open
a file, it will open on Excel program instance #1. If I click on instance #2 then open a file, it will open on instance #2.
However, now I have Windows 7 Pro with Excel 2010. At first, it would ALWAYS open the file in the first instance of Excel whenever I opened a file from windows explorer. I found some registry edits that will open a file in a new instance of Excel
EVERY time. I don't really like either solution. I want to control the number of Excel instances and determine which instance I want the file to open. I know I can do this via the Open/File menu in Excel but it's a much more onerous
way. I would like to know if there is a way I can make Excel 2010 and Win7 behave the way it did before with Excel 2003 and WinXP.

Hmm, it seems it´s really hard to undestand, what our problem is all about.
Even the solution
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2636670 isn´t the right answer.
Ok, i´ll try again:
- i have 2 Excel-Instances running (can see it with TaskMgr) and i don´t want any
more Excel-Instances starting
- for several reasons (data-comparison side-by-side on 2 monitors, etc.), i´d like to control, in which instance
double-clicked XLS-Documents from Mails, Web-Downloads or (most wanted!) PlSql-Developers
"Export to Excel"-function should open
- with Office2003 / WinXP it was very simple:
just activate the desired Excel instance before doing
the double-click or calling the export-function ... the XLS-Document opens exactly in a new window
of the previously activated Excel-instance
So it´s not about opening always in new Excel-Instances, therefore all .bat-Solutions or Registry-
modifications i´ve seen so far wont help. Also the mouse-drag/drop will not work for Web-Downloads
or Database-Exports, even sometimes not for XLS in Outlook-Mails.
Yes, i agree: Win 7 / Office 2010 is a massive downgrade for all users, that need informations on the
screen (instead of large, fancy icons), that want fast and efficient functionality (instead of clicking around
through "ribbons" and waiting more than twice a time for same operations, that run in XP/Office2003 simply great)
After digging the web, experimenting with registry-hacks, etc., i didn´t find any REAL solution.
That´s why i feel, all those of you (incl. me), that
have used their machines like described above, have lost.
Resignated, i wish
i could switch back to XP/Office2003
Regards

Logic for sending data files to multiple instances of Central

We are using Central Pro Output Server 5.6 with a single Central instance as of default installation on a Windows Server 2003. Data for the transaction files coming from our iSeries system via a printer queue (\\.\pipe\jetform\queuename)
Now we want to be able to produce more documents from Central much faster and therefore setting up multiple instances of Central. The problem is then where to put the logic for choosing instances.
The simplest way to do this would be to have iSeries to alternate the data files to different pipes (printer queues) for Central. But as we dont want to change our iSeries configuration for this, is there a way to solve this problem in Central?
Any help with this is much appreciated

Central provides no mechanism that I'm aware of that would do anything resembling the job distribution that you are wanting. Central is written to monitor it's input folders and process the files it finds there. Each instance is essentially separate from each other.
Your source system will need to select the appropriate instance to be used. Either that or you will need to have something between the source system and Central that is doing the distribution. For example, you could have the source system write to a folder that is not being monitored by Central and write a program that runs as a service that does monitor that folder. This program would then distribute the files. The likely drawback of having an intermediary program is that you are likely to not end up getting the documents printed any faster than with a single instance.
Another possible way, if the source system can create files with different file name extensions, would be to have them all written to the same folder and have each instance checking that particular folder but looking for files with different extensions. This might be problematic, though, because it might also end up with each instance watching the same "control" folder so that doing things like pausing Central would end up with no control of which instance was going to be paused.
The default setting for Central has it pausing for 5 seconds if it completes a job and there are no more files waiting for it. If your jobs are not coming in faster than Central is processing them then you would be getting some of this delay for your jobs. You could reduce this time or even set Central to process a job as soon as it shows up. I don't know if version 5.6 still has the problem but an earlier version would not "see" a file if it happened to show up exactly when it was looking for more (it was probably showing up milli-seconds after Central looked). This caused that job to just sit there until the next job showed up.
A major factor in getting the documents produced faster is going to be the speed and number of printers that they are going to - plus the number of pages in each document. For us, the single instance of Central that we are currently using can produce print much faster than our HP9050 printers (50 ppm) can actually print it.
You must be doing a lot of forms or each job is doing a lot of processing. Our typical print job does 4 tasks (depending on the job this can include things like: passing the file through the transformation agent, updating a mainframe database, FTPing the file to another server for archiving, and producing the print). A typical job with 11 output pages takes only 2-3 seconds. We have a task that runs every morning that retrieves mainframe generated jobs. I just checked one of our servers and it processed 208 jobs in exactly 8 minutes (26 jobs per minute at an average of 2.3 seconds per job). We also thought we'd need multiple instances due to speed but that just isn't the case for us. We have other reasons to move to multiple instances but speed in not a major factor any more.

Multiple prefs.js files

I have a re-occurring problem in some of my firefox profile folders. The profile folder creates 999 empty prefs.js files. They are all numbered a different number all the way up to 999(i.e., pref-999.js).
I don't know if it is slowing down the browser. They Are All 0 bytes.

This happens when there is a problem with the unnumbered prefs.js file.
Firefox always creates a numbered temp file and when that has finished properly then this file is renamed to prefs.js to replace the current version of this file.
It is likely that some security software is blocking this file against changes if the numbered file stays.
You will have to delete all pref-##.js and prefs.js files to see if that prevents numbered file from showing up.

Multiple instances of ichat running at once

Very short version of events:
doing long distance tech help for elderly friend (which is agonizing beyond belief 'cause I can't screen share). On her machine ---
iChat starts up fine, in fact it will start up more than once, she can have multiple instances of iChat running simultaneously. That's the first issue.
Once iChat is started up and you check the iChat menu, Preferences is greyed out. That's the second issue.
Also under the iChat menu, Accounts shows... no account. That's the third issue.
All three symptoms 'should' be impossible.
I have deleted the various iChat pref files
Restarted the computer
Both to no avail
Switching to the Guest account and starting iChat from there behaves normally, it does the 'welcome new user.... let's set up your account' type thing.

Hi,
I must admit I did think Parental Controls (Even if tested in a new Account which would have effected even an Admin Account) would have been a large part of this.
----- Would have made sense, but not the case.
Is she starting this from an iChat Icon that is in the DOCK already ?
I have, through Skype screensharing, watched her start it up from iChat in the Applications folder. Each time she double clicks the app or does the File>Open thing another iteration of it appears in the Dock.
If so then Drag this Off the DOCK and let go (Puff of Smoke Animation)
Go to the Applications Folder and drag the app back to the DOCK.
--- Yep, been there, done that too.
This will Renew the link between the app and DOCK icon.
Can she also do a Get Info on the app and say which version it is ?
Either from the Finder's File menu or Highlight the app in the Applications folder then use the Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) + i keys together. (Example below)
If she has a Leopard or Snow Leopard computer then she can also use Quick Look.
(If she has OS 10.5.8 and iChat 4.0.8 it will show as iChat 4.0.9 here)
Can you also tell me which version of the OS she is Running ?
--- 10.6.7
This is because iChat gets Updated with certain OS Updates
and iChat is 5.0.3
For Instance, Snow Leopard at 10.6.1 updates iChat 5 to iChat 5.0.1 and at OS 10.6.3 iChat gets updated to version 5.0.3 (where it has remained). As Leopard goes from 10.5 to 10.5.8 there are many more updates to iChat. iChat gets to version 4.0.8/4.0.9 (As in the last pic) depending on a security Update after 10.5.8 was released).
If she does a Spotlight Search does she see more than one version of iChat ?
--- Nope. And I've done an 'enhanced' Spotlight search including 'everywhere' (ie System, Libraries and, jut for kicks, invisible folders), in the event that God forbid somehow or other she hid another copy somewhere else unintentionally. I can say with certainty that there is ONLY one copy of iChat on the machine.
Mine does as I have Cloned the Drive
At this point I am also wondering if her account on the Mac has been introduced from somewhere else (another Mac) as part of an Update/Upgrade process.
---- Nope. It was created 'from scratch' when she bought the machine and has been performing flawlessly for about 10 months.
If so is there a "Previous System" Folder on her Hard Drive at the top Level (Click the Hard Drive icon itself).
If there is an Applications folder in here (if it exists) it may contain a version of iChat that is linked to the DOCK icon and be the one that tries to launch first . The earlier thing of dragging the icon off the DOCK and dragging it back again will sort that.
If she is sure she has everything she wants from the "Previous System" then she can delete it.
--- Not relevant, never done a reinstall
I can sort of recreate this state.
If I launch iChat normally then use Terminal to start iChat a second in the DOCK is created.
This one if the Front app does not have access to the Preferences and the Accounts sub menu item is also Empty
See My Force Quit window
---- Yep, that's what hers looks like.
However it seems to differ in that the Buddy Lists are not duplicated (That may be due to a Add-On Called Chax that I use and I get shown the All Contacts Buddy List) The all Contact list does not have my Buddy Pic and never fills in with any Buddies.
---- No 'add ons' of any kind on her machine. 'Factory stock' (make for easier trouble shooting )
If I revert to the regular iCon I have Preferences and it shows Accounts in the Sub menu item.
Do her icons vary in what they show ?
--- Nope
Does she use the Icon in the DOCK to launch iChat or is it some other form of Link such as a AppleScript they may use Terminal to do it for her ?
---- She has in the past used the Dock icon. Still uses it, but with the weird result.
I am trying to get an understanding on this for several reasons.
1) I would like to know what is creating it before suggesting a Reinstall of iChat
---- An interesting idea. So, being a pretty adept Mac guy, and not adverse to trying 'outside the box' solutions, here's what we did....
I have the same OS version and same iChat version on my machine.
Got her to compress the existing copy of iChat in her Applications folder
'Sent' her a copy of my iChat through my MobileMe iDisk
Guided her through dragging and dropping it into the Applications folder (remember I said 'outside the box'?)
Had her do File>Open on that copy of iChat....
Same results - No preferences, no accounts of any kind.
To me this says that it is not the application itself but something else. What exactly that something else is, remains a mystery. Further corroborating that the app itself is 'good' is that as you may recall she WAS able to get it to start up in her Guest account and it behaved normally, asking for her account info etc.
2) I am curious
3) I would prefer to use less "destructive" methods before resorting to Reinstalling the app.
--- She's emailed back after having spoken to Apple support. Machine is still under warranty so she is taking it to an Apple Store on Monday. From the way she describes the support phone call it sounds like she might have gotten elevated a couple of levels during the call.
I sense a 'system reinstall' in the very near future.

Running multiple instances of Flash IDE CS(6)

I have a build machine compiling my fla files by running Flash.exe from command line and supplying a JSFL file as a parameter. I want to run multiple instances of Flash IDE in order to enable concurrent builds on that machine otherwise there's only one thread running on a build machine which is a resource waste.
So, is it possible to run multiple instances of Flash IDE? Maybe there's a kind of command line switch? I have Flash CS6, but there shouldn't be that many differences with CC, isn't it?

I dont think you can run multiple instances of flash both in CS6 and CC.
