Defect in WindowsCE7 Registry - DragStyle, maybe?

Hi All,
I want to lock the Soft Input Panel at registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SIP by changing DragStyle to 0. After I did
that, it works however it leads to the display problem. When I switch between SIPs, the display does not show up correctly because there is a white layout around the active SIP like it's not transparent.
I tried this same approach on Windows CE60, and it works fine. So I am wondering is this Windows CE7 issue? Thanks.

Hi,
What error code prompted when you tried to install Windows Updates? Does this issue happen on all updates or a specific update? When did this issue happen? Please share more information about the issue you encountered.
Currently, I would suggest you refer to the following steps to troubleshoot this issue:
Run virus scan.
Reset Windows update component
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058
Rename the softwaredistribuion folder, check again.
Open an administrative Command Prompt window.
Run the following commands, and press Enter after each command:
Net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%
Ren SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
Net start wuauserv
Try to install updates again.

File Registry Editory in 6i

I like the idea of the file registry in the 6i Repository so I know whether a file I'm uploading will be text or binary. However, it seems anyone can use the editor to add and delete entries. Considering the large number of users at multiple locations who use one repository (at least for me), I'd like to see the ability to lock the File Registry Editor (maybe included with repository policies) included in a future release. That way unauthorized (or accidental) changes can't be made on a repository level.

Other oddities I've noticed with no explanations in the help:
Via RON's Utilities - Edit File Registryt
- Add new file extensions to the registry for Jdev, per the release notes.
Not explanation that whether this is a local config file or not?
Added all 6 extension without an interleaving OK. Hit OK after adding 6 new
rules.
- Go to 2nd desktop and sure enough, don't see my added file extentions.
Attempt to add, and I get an SQL exception, unique key constraint violation.
But I don't see the extentions from the other desktop. Oddly I was logged
in as myself in both places. I even stopped / started the 2nd location's RON.
- On the 2nd location, add yet another bogus extention (c++) to be mapped to text.
- Go back to first location and I see c++, but shoot, my 6 JDev extensions aren't
shown, but if I try to enter one I get the SQL unique constraint violation.
Is this an: I'm screwed situation?
Thanks for any help.

Windows has detected a registry/configuration error

I haven't used my Protege 3110CT in many years. When I start to boot up I get the message:
Warning: Windows has detected a registry/configuration error. Use SCANREG to correct this error.
However, I cannot get into DOS to do a SCANREG nor do I know any other method.
I do not have any of the startup disks.
My machine has Windows ME on it.
I do have an external floppy drive and CD drive.
Any assistance is appreciated.

You can download a bootable DOS floppy here.
http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm
If you can locate a download of Scanreg.exe, then boot to DOS and run scanreg /restore to
go back to a previous known working copy of your Windows Me registry.
Maybe this one works (I don't know).

Registry calls return wrong values - how to fix?

Here is the code used to open the key (all the variations shown produce the same behaviour)
bool Win32_OpenKey( const HKEY uPlaceInRegistry, HKEY& xKey, const char* const szKeyName, const bool bReadOnly = false )
// SE: make sure key exists
// SE - NOTE: this is deprecated. it worked fine, but suddenly doesnt :(
// so i have replaced it with the following line
//const bool bOpened = RegOpenKey( uPlaceInRegistry, szKeyName, &xKey ) == ERROR_SUCCESS;
const bool bOpened = RegOpenKeyEx( uPlaceInRegistry, szKeyName, 0,
bReadOnly ? KEY_QUERY_VALUE : KEY_ALL_ACCESS, &xKey ) == ERROR_SUCCESS;
bool bCreated = false;
if( !bOpened )
// SE - NOTE: this is deprecated. it worked fine, but suddenly doesnt :(
// the Licensor will create keys except in the case where we upgrade a user from
// an old license... so now using the Ex version in hopes it magically works.
//bCreated = RegCreateKey( uPlaceInRegistry, szKeyName, &xKey ) == ERROR_SUCCESS;
DWORD uDisposition = -1;
bCreated = ( RegCreateKeyEx( uPlaceInRegistry, szKeyName, 0, 0,
REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE, bReadOnly ? KEY_QUERY_VALUE : KEY_ALL_ACCESS,
0, &xKey, &uDisposition )
== ERROR_SUCCESS );
return bOpened || bCreated;
Here is where the values are queried.
unsigned int uMagic = 0;
unsigned long uType = 0xFFFFFFFF;
unsigned long uSize = sizeof( unsigned int );
//long err = RegGetValue( xKey, 0, "Magic", RRF_RT_DWORD, &uType, &uActivated, &uSize );
uType = REG_DWORD;
long err = RegQueryValueEx( xKey, "Magic", 0, &uType, reinterpret_cast< LPBYTE >( &uMagic ), &uSize );
if( (err == ERROR_SUCCESS) && ( uType == REG_DWORD ) && ( uSize == sizeof( unsigned int ) ) )
unsigned long long ullReadStartDate = 0;
uSize = sizeof( unsigned long long );
err = RegGetValue( xKey, 0, "Number", RRF_RT_QWORD, &uType, &ullReadStartDate, &uSize );
if( (err == ERROR_SUCCESS) && ( uType == REG_QWORD ) && ( uSize == sizeof( unsigned long long ) ) )
The values that are returned do not match the registry.
In fact the values returned are values that we never would have written either. The zero is fishy because maybe it indicates bad behaviour. The messed up time_t value is even more confusing... it comes from a more than 30 days ago, which is around the time
when I first started working on this code.
To make a guess I am getting back an ancient version of the key values which is somehow preserved and accessible but can not be seen in regedit. I have no idea why this is suddenly happening either - this code (before my commented changes were made) worked
exactly as expected for a few weeks now.
Slightly unrelated but it also seems that a standard user can not write to HKCU in our repeatable tests. This seems slightly crazy as well... should I just not be using the registry? It never seemed like a good idea, but I have done it to try and fit the
platform way of doing things after hitting lots of problems with naive use of files...

thanks for the tips. will probably come in handy in the future. :)
it turned out to be permissions and bad documentation in my case. the virtual store thing was not writing to where the docs say it should, and so something was lingering somewhere i couldn't find in the right place under any of the top level registry keys.
maybe there is some other place where it has gone in the registry that i am just not finding the documentation for...
my ultimate fix was to use a file in ProgramData :)
I figured I'd try and do it 'the MS way' and use the registry. what a terrible idea that turned out to be, since I guess its no longer the MS way given how riddled with backwards compatibility hacks it seems to be...

It looks like a bad compilation that someone did. I cannot overcome the problem, because in order to update, I need Windows Update to run.
Installing the latest version of
System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7 (KB947821) [October 2014]
did not solve the issue as I hoped. Everyone else that had that issue and reported his/her fix to it ended in reinstalling the system. That is my last resort because I would need to rebuild my system of installed Office and Adobe
suites and all the small tools – this would take days. As for now, I can run all programs that I had installed so far, but getting new programs like new versions of IE is impossible.
Maybe someone can look into that issue and if it is fixable with a patch, let me know about it. I can help with more information as well.
Thanks so much,

I have deleted all files from C:\Users\login\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\7.0
Have reinstalled PremierProCC after uninstalling and using the cleanup tool.
Still no luck. Is there a queue file anywhere that should be deleted? A registry entry maybe?

How do I get support for Windows 7 on, and a W7 backup disk for, my new ThinkPad?

I know these have got to be stupid questions, since I am sure that they have to have been asked before (unless they are clearly explained somewhere that everyone else has found, and I am somehow completely missed it), but I did search the forums and was surprised NOT to find any info on getting Windows 7 technical support after it was factory installed in a month-old Thinkpad. I wonder if the apparent defects in my W7, or maybe a different problem in my browser, could be affecting my ability to search to forums?
I believe that my Windows 7 is defective, but calling Lenovo, they just talked about reinstalling Win7 from the partition, which makes no sense, if my W7 copy is defective, wouldn't the copy in the partition be defective too? My mom said she ordered a $20 W7 backup disk with the PC, but I never received it, and now Lenovo tech tells me those aren't actually available, and she must have confused it with the W7 upgrade disk, which didn't sound right, since I thought the upgrade disk was over $100, and I never received that one either anyway. If the W7 that was factory-installed is defective, I am assuming it's a copy of the same one in the partition, so that partition recovery is not feasible, is there any way to reorder a W7 re-install disk that will still register as Genuine Windows 7 on a Thinkpad? Now when I search the Lenovo site, I cannot find ANY W7 disks of any kind, neither a backup for factory-installed W7, nor for upgrade from a prior Windows version. Does anyone know how I could go about re-ordering the W7 backup disk when it appears to be missing from the online catalog? Unless this too is a defect in my browser search: can someone give me the link to page where I could select and re-purchase a W7 backup disk?
It has been a few years since I had a new PC, but I have never even heard of one before that did not come with instruction manuals and OS and support disks, and did not provide any tech support for its own factory-installed software or Windows, at least during the first few months of ownership. Where do new Thinkpad owners turn for individual W7 software support, since Microsoft swears it is Lenovo's responsibility to support W7 under its OEM license, yet Lenovo swears they only support hardware? It almost seems that new users are expected to know everything already, or be initiated enough with the product to know exactly what your problem is and what's causing it, in order to find an online fix. Who do you call if W7 or Lenovo software (but not an ISP issue) appear to be doing something to prevent online access, but there are no discernible hardware issues? Where do you call for individualized W7, as well as Lenovo software, support, especially after no one online has ever heard of your specific issues and has no workable ideas for fixing them, or when your problem prevents you from getting online at all?
Thanks so much

Any ideas on why I can't download the latest itunes?

I am trying to download the latest iTunes (10.2.1) to my PC, but I'm running into all sorts of trouble. OS is Windows 7. When I first tried downloading it, I got the following message:
C:\Users\Jelli\Downloads\iTunes64Setup(1).exe.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
Try again later, or contact the server administrator.
I tried it a few times, and I was finally able to download the default version, which I am pretty sure is the 32-bit. When I go to install, I get this message:
C:\Users\Jelli\Downloads\iTunes64setup.exe is not a validWin32 application.
This iTunes installer is intended for 32-bit versions ofWindows. Please download and install the 64-bit iTunes installer instead.
So, I went and downloaded the 64-bit version, and when I went to install, got this error:
C:\Users\Jelli\Downloads\iTunes64setup.exe is not a validWin32 application.
I can't understand what is going. I was able to download it onto my husband's computer a few days ago. I have never downloaded/installed iTunes on my computer before, nor have I had any problems downloading anything else.
I am fairly amateur when it comes to computers, but most of the time I can figure things out, and I can follow steps just fine. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

If the OP has this much RAM in their iMac, certain this Mac can run Mountain Lion.
The reason it might not be installing is that 15 GBs of RAM.
Your iMac should have (4) equal sized, 4 GB sticks of RAM for a total of 16 GBs.l
If your iMac is only reporting that there is only 15 GBs of RAM, you have a RAM stick that is either not seated in its slot properly or is defective/going bad.
This maybe the reason that it won't download it.
Also could be you are running out of free space on your HD.
You need, at least 15-20 % or greater free space left on your HD.

Z77A-GD65 ram and DR. mos problem after 2 years without any HW change or OC!

Hi guys, i have three Z77A-GD65 from 2 years with the same hardware config, no overclock or others OC settings ....simply default bios settings; in this last 2 months, not at the same time, all of my 3 mainboards have the same identical problem.
One day, from nowhere, without any reason, i start my pc and mobo don't start, hangs with code 55 ( memory error) and Dr mos alarm led goes on, i try to reset bios .. nothing.
I Switch multibios to "B" bios and works perfectly .. i've tested all of RAM modules and result works perfectly !! .... all of three mainboards have the same identical problem!!
Now i use all my 3 PCs with "B" bios and works perfectly, because "A" bios hangs always with code 55 and with Dr. mos alarm led on, i try to update and downgrade "A" bios ... nothing to do ... "A" bios don't work anymore.
Any idea?

Quote from: Nichrome on 19-July-14, 02:32:51
Don't have to be rude
If same problem is on 3 motherboards then is something wrong with RAM or BIOS not the motherboard
>>Posting Guide<< Reminding again if you want to receive any help.
Nichrome, you misunderstood! ... I just responded to your affirmation .. that's all, it was not my intention to was "rude" as you wrote! OK?
Ram modules have been tested on other Asus mainboard .. .. no read/write errors and no hangs problems ... so all Ram modules are fine
About bios ..... maybe primary bios is physically damaged.... i try to reflash bios also with old version .. no way .. maybe primary bios damage in all 3 mainboards !! very strange!!! ... you know if there's a know manufacturing defect on this MB bios maybe on a particular MB serial part number? because i bought all 3 mainboards at same time about 2 years ago.
Quote from: Sea Dog on 19-July-14, 02:40:52
Obviously, there is 'something' that has caused BIOS corruption in all 3 mainboards A chips. Whatever that 'something' is, it may happen to the backup B chips as well. Recommend to concentrate on finding this 'something', what the common denominator is, and restoring BIOS chips A before the mainboards may become expensive paperweights. A shop with an SPI flash programmer device can fix the broken BIOS chips if not comfortable with doing the recovery procedure yourself.
Hi, yes i agree, In fact, my fear is to have, in a while, these mainboard totally unusable! ..... i think that primary bios is physically damaged or i hope, software damaged, I would try to recover it, if it's only a software problem (i hope so) ... do you know a procedure to completely erase cleanly that reflash the primary bios? i try to use dos MSI flash utility with "/p /b /n" options .. no success to restore A bios ... same story ... error 55 and DR-mos alarm led on.

Adobe AIR won't install - Windows 7 Ultimate x64

"Sorry, an error has occurred.
An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator."
Well, I asked myself and verified that I am allowed to install any programs I wish to at will.
I even toyed with adding extra permissions for the .exe and shortcut [see below], to no avail.
I also checked your Adobe AIR installation troubleshooter section before posting. Unfortunately, none of the solutions 100% applied to my circumstances or OS, yet I tried a few anyway and had it confirmed by a Windows dialogue that I need not have bothered as it assured me that they weren't applicable in my case.
I found another thread like mine where somebody suggested creating a shortcut with an additional -uninstall parameter added to the .exe path. It didn't work.
I used Microsoft's Installation Cleanup Utility and that didn't work to "un-confuse" the installer either.
Do you have any more suggestions?
Adobe AIR came with the HTC Sync program for my phone, which appears to have dependencies on it where it won't completely work without it.
Thanks in advance for any input.
ps. I created a new thread because I couldn't find the "reply" button on a similarly unresolved thread regarding Adobe AIR installation issues on Windows 7.

I would like to say thanks to artrose54 and to playswithtech for their thoughtful responses to my problem. I finally figured out which number I was to delete, and then, having made a copy of the number in notepad, deleted it. Upon a restart to my computer I then was able to download adobe air 2.7. I found that I still could not download the shutterfly express uploader, however; so I applied the same approach. I went looking for the number in the registry that corresponded to the uploader. I deleted it; restarted the computer; returned to shutterfly; and then was able to download the express uploader. I am sure I will find other uses for Adobe Air in the future.

Hi everyone,
Here is the fix that worked for me,
You need to go to start run and type in regedit
now press ctrl+f for find and type in "adobe air" without the quotes then click find next
the first entry it finds is the one I deleted, it is a long number on left side of screen that is greyed just right click and delete it
I then rebooted the computer and ran adobe air installation
and it worked with out a problem
The adobe air log file really doesn't tell u anything but where it tried to find the setup.msi file
but it doesn't exist because of the registry entry that needs to be deleted which is what causes the error
If u r not sure of editing the registry then maybe you know someone that can help you
I hope this helps you out it worked for me

Can't open INDD files from Bridge or Windows Explorer

I upgraded from CS2 to CS4 in Jan 2009, but didn't uninstall CS2 until yesterday because the program file sizes seemed weird: CS4 was listed as less than 6Mb in the Add/Remove Programs list, while CS2 was shown to be many times that size (gigabytes?). I called support within the first month and was told it would be okay to uninstall CS2, but the tech could not explain the difference in program sizes, so I left it in place until yesterday. Now, neither Bridge nor Windows Explorer recognizes InDesign files. I can still launch the program from the Start menu and Desktop shortcut, and I can open files from within the program. But Bridge says the default for opening an INDD file is Acrobat...or Photoshop, Firefox or IE. Windows says the same. The INDD icon is no longer displayed in Windows Explorer either. It seems to have vanished from my system. I have tried to re-associate InDesign files with the program through Windows Explorer numerous times to no avail. Operating System: Windows XP Professional on a Dell GX270.
Is the only solution here to uninstall & reinstall InDesign? Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem, with two exceptions:
1. A previous version of InDesign has never been installed on this PC before we got CS4.
2. It tries to open the files in Acrobat (7.0), and then this message pops up:
Acrobat could not open "....INDD" because it is either not a supported file type or because it has been damaged... To create a PDF document go to the ...
This is incredibly frustrating. The only way I can open files is to go through the InDesign "open file" command inside the program. I cannot open any Bridge files at all (same problem, opens in Acrobat).
I cannot chose the file type from the file association list as it does not show up on the list no matter how many times I search and choose it from my drive to associate.
... Is this a registry problem, maybe?

Edit photo in external editor with LR adjustment doesnt work

Hi, Im on Win xp sp2 LR 1.2.
When i try the "edit a copy with lightroom adjustments" i get a Warning and the following massage: "Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file (name) for editing, It will not be opened.". Whats weird is that lightroom creates the file and its right there if i go to that folder, it just doest open the external editor to continue and edit the file.
-Notice that "Edit a copy" or "Edit original" works! so there is a connection between the apps but it doesn't work with this option checked.
I did a test and created a new catalog, added some pics to it and tried the same procedure and it works just fine, so that leads me to think that its a catalog related problem but thats why im here, to ask you guys.
-Ive read other posts of the same Warning Massage but its not the same problem im experiencing.
Have a catalog of 25000 photos, im sure its not a lot to some but it has all sorts of collections and tags and colors (u know, the usual mess) so i wanna avoid going into "export as catalog" feature and re-import my catalog all over again.
Maybe its a registry problem maybe not.
Any help is welcome, thanks.

I have no idea, but have you tried File / Catalog Settings/ General tab: Relaunch and Optimize. Relates to the database.

Cannot create a new folder on desktop.

Hello. When I am trying to create a new folder on desktop (right click->new->new folder) it gives me error message (i dont have english version of windows 8.1 so I had to translate it):
Item wasnt found.
Item is no longer placed in <%3 NULL:OpText>. Check the location of item and try again the action.
Can somebody help me?

Hi,
As Ed mentioned before, are you able to create folder in other places?
It is usually caused by incorrect delection of some registry entries, maybe accidently by yourself or by some registry cleaner\anti-virus software\bad-coded programs you installed recently.
So quick fix is that you can restore the PC to a previous state with restore point if you have. (please note that you will lose some recent settings)
You can also run sfc/scannow to check and fix if there're some missing system files.
Or try the registry fix mentioned in the following link (Please first backup your registry, any incorrect changes on registry will cause serious damage)

JRE 1.4.2_07 only works for the installer user

I installed JRE 1.4.2_07 today for a web based app my company uses on my development XPPro PC. The web based app launches the JRE fine and works fully, when logged in as the user who I installed the JRE under.
If I logon as another user and try to access the web based system, it suggests that I do not have the JRE installed and tries to download an on-line download/install from the sun website.
As I've packaged the JRE to be installed by our software deployment tool (Novadigm Radia), I need to know what components of the install I need to include in a user package (I.e. user specific components), so this can be deployed to every user allowing the JRE to work.
I have already tried copying the files in the user's profile under: C:\Documents and Settings\<UserID>\Application Data\Sun to my new user's profile and this alone does not appear to solve the problem.
Any ideas what I'm missing? Could the web based app look in the user Registry settings maybe?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

I'm sorry if I didn't explain myself correctly. I am
the administrator and have full administrative
priveleges on the development PC I am packaging on. I
am trying to setup a package deployable by Novadigm
Radia using the msi and 1033.mst extracted from the
JRE setup exe. If I get Radia to deploy the JRE to
the user I used for packaging then this works fine.
If I try a different user, then the web based app
doesn't recognise that there is a JRE installed and
tries to download one from Sun.
Cheers, PaulAnd is that "different user" one without administrative privileges? If so, I suspect that the JRE install isn't able to make the needed Registry entries, as was noted.

Re-Installation and installation of Oracle 10g

Hello
I am a student currently doing a subject on how to use and develop databases, forms and reports in Oracle. My concern is with regard to the installation of Oracle I had previous partially installed Oracle and while using the Windows function to remove the program I am told this is not sufficient to remove Oracle or prepare my system for re-installation. I have been told I need to remove Oracle files from my registry. Having examined my registry there is a folder in the software directory that is called Oracle and contains files pre-fixed with the name Oracle. Do I need to just remove the Oracle folder or just the files it contains? Is that all the files I need to re-move?
My other query is I want to locate instructions that will guide me step by step on the installation of the oracle database and Oracle Developer. Would any body recommend the best place to locate instructions?
All assistance will be very appreciated

You should always use the installer to remove software. Now you have Oracle elements left in the registry and , maybe , in the installer inventory. You are right, to start again you must have a clean machine. Unfortunately there isn't only one place for Oracle components in the registry. See this chapter (from installation guide), what to do.

By the way the installation guides (both database and developer) are the sources for detailed instructions, how to install the software.
