Director won't start under Vista

I had installed the trial version of Director this computer
(AMD laptop) about a year ago, and it worked fine, but I didn't
have much of a use for it at that point, so I uninstalled it.
Now I've installed it on the same laptop except running
Vista. When I double-click the Director application, the hard drive
looks like it's working, but the application never begins. I've
installed all of the updates, and have rebooted several times.
Is there a compatibility problem between Director and Vista?
Thanks for any help you can pass along!

This technote for Encore also fixes this issue with Director:

Right click the Director app, and choose Properties. Go to
the Compatibility tab, and click the box for "Run with
administrator privileges."
That fixes it. Just FYI, in case anyone else has the same
problem. :-)

Coldfusion Builder won't start on Vista

Recently I had to upgrade to Vista. Now Coldfusion builder won't start. Attached is the configuration log file. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling CF Builder with no luck. This is the standalone version. Any help appreciated.

I think I've figured it out. It had to do with permissions on the Coldfusion Builder folder in Program Files. Coldfusion Builder would run as administrator, but not as a User. I had to allow write permissions on that directory. I don't know if this is an eclipse thing or a Coldfusion Builder thing, but in windows a program should not require write permissions on it's install folder in order to run. If it needs to write something, it should do it under the users profile. I would consider this a bug.
Thanks,
Jim

I set up a fmware workstation virtual machine running winXP, after doing so it suddenly recognized the player also under vista (after selfinstall under the virtual xp-station!!!) , it was available as a virtual dri've and as a zen touch. i tried to update the firmware then under the xp sys but it had winMediaplayer on it which didn?t work with the zen touch as far as i know.On the VIsta machine? i tried to updade(get it to run) for hours, then tried to do everything new and started to remove every software and folders with creative parts in it, tried again etc but it wouldn?t work. the zen gave me a) the screen "syncroising" (for ever) or b)format, update firmware etc as options which didn?t work
?under _which_ system do i have to install _which_ firmware, software and what can the media player cause on problems please ?
i?m a music-junkie and i really NEEEEEEEEEED this machine !!!

Itunes won't start on vista home premium

I installed Vista Home Premium and did a fresh install of iTunes (7.1.1.5).
iTunes won't start and gives an error (iTunes won't start):
Eventname: APPCRASH
Name: iTunes.exe
Version: 7.1.1.5
Timestamp:45f8a616
Name of the errormodule: StackHash_03ef
I can't seem to find the solution in the Forums and internet.
I deinstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times but it still gives the same error.
Quicktime also won't start.
Any help is appreciated.

I deinstalled all codecs (including Nero), because windows vista solutions also pointed me in that direction, but no luck yet..
okay. we'd better try swapping out your QuickTime now that the codecs are out of the way.
sometimes with that sort of "error message free" launch failure with QuickTime, Add/Remove doesn't want to get rid of the QuickTime. so we'll try the following technique if that happens:
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

Tomcat 5 service won't start under w2k

Has anyone else had trouble getting the Tomcat 5 service to start under Windows 2000 or Windows XP? I have tried installing the service using the installer .exe and also manually by downloading the zip file and using the service.bat file in the bin directory. I can install the service, but when I attempt to start it I receive the following message:
Could not start the Apache Tomcat service on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I have set the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment variables properly. I can start and stop Tomcat just fine by using startup.bat and shutdown.bat. If I can start Tomcat by using startup.bat, what is stopping me from starting it as a service? I must be missing some configuration setting or something...
I am having the same problem on 3 different computers, 2 w2k machines and 1 XP Pro machine. I have tried both Tomcat 5.0.18 and 5.0.19, same result on both.
Any help would be appreciated!

OS 9 won't start under Tiger

Hi,
My Classic environment will no longer start under Tiger, although I can boot from it independently. I suspect my recent maintenance activities may be to blame. I have three internal drives, all with Tiger and one also with OS 9.2. Recently the boot disc showed signs of failing: I caught it in time, imaged the disc and replaced it. After a bit of fiddling with the remade disc I could start from it. Unfortunately I can't recall whether OS9 has ever worked since, but I think it has. I don't use it often.
I have tried booting under Tiger with extensions off and also moving and replacing the Finder so that it is 'blessed', both without success. I thought about reinstalling but I get a message saying I can't install over a newer OS.
All help gratefully received!

Dreamweaver won't start on vista

i've read the current posts on vista - my Dreamweaver 8
launched once, then i tried to set up a network share - and it
automatically quit. NOW it won't even open.
I've updated the compatiability with the same problem
Any ideas? I bought Dreamweaver 8 because the adobe site
(vista compatiability document) stated there wasn't any problems --
guess i should have read the news group first.
thanks
Sandy

Youy might want to inform Adobe about this (I don't know if
they have
a bug/error reporting service - maybe someone else can advise
on
that). In particular, what version of Vista, clean install or
upgrade,
what extensions you have installed, what precise action
resulted in
the crash etc.
On Vista Home Premium I have DW 8.0.2 running fine with quite
a few
extensions installed (although I am not using it as my
workhorse
machine and hence am not flogging it unduly).
Good luck!

Classic won't start under Tiger

When I try to start classic, it hangs as soon as the startup "Smiley Mac" screen appears"
My computer will boot from OS9 system folder, but not start classic either from system preferences or automatically if I'm in Tiger.
I've fixed OS9 permissions from Disk Utility, turned off all extensions, rebuilt desktop, checked that there's only one OS9 on drive...what's next?
Thanks, mavens!

Ok...at this point, we know the system will boot to 9, but not startup 9 from inside of X - rather, it starts, then hangs after the splash screen. I'm back to extensions.
I know you said you had disabled them once; I come back to the same conclusion for a couple of reasons.
If it were a disk error, bad block, or corrupted (os9) system file, then it is most probable that booting the machine to 9 would also fail. Since that works, and we know extensions are the first thing that loads on power on...
Also, I did have this same problem when I first switched to X (about v10.0.4). But it's been so long since I resolved that issue, I cannot recall which one(s) I disabled. I am using the same HD and OS9 system folder I used then (moved the drive to this machine), and have not toyed with the extension settings since resolving the problem.
Rather than use the all/no extension option in the X Classic control pane, I would boot the machine to 9, run extension manager, and select the "all off" option. This does not rely on Xs ability to disable them on the fly, and will disable any extensions that load before extensions manager does (there are a few) and is permanent (until you turn them back on.)
Reboot to X, then try to run Classic.
If it works, then rerun extension manager and select "OS9.2 extensions only" which will not load any 3rd party extensions.

Latest iTunes won't start on Vista, installed OK as Administrator

I have a friend with an eMachines W3653a computer with 1 GB of RAM and 155 GB free on its hard drive. It is running WIndows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 1. Twice we have downloaded and installed iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ using Chrome. First, she installed it herself, and when that didn't work, I re-downloaded and installed the setup program as Administrator, uninstalled the existing iTunes, and installed it again, unfortunately with the same results. I've noticed that KB2533623 has not been installed, so I'll see if that makes any difference. I will also install Microsoft Security Essentials Anti-virus, just in case. In the meantime, I welcome any suggestions of things to do next. Thanks.

do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

LR2 won't start on Vista Ultimate

Configuration

Don, Bradley, and Dorin,
Thanks for your comments. Outside of Outlook, mine was a virgin Vista machine and I was impressed with the poor performance and instability of 64-bit LR2.
I have only installed Mozilla on my new 24", 3.06 GHz, 4-gig iMac. 64-bit LR2 performs very nicely on this platform. I imported about 2000 images this weekend, loaded the controlled vocabulary, applied keywords to all, selected and developed about 200, and used the results to export all five types of web content. All without incedent.
Don, I agree with you that my solution to the problem was over the top. The reality is that my LR2/Vista experience was the straw that broke the camel's back. It takes way too much time anually to keep a Microsoft machine running at peak performance. A few hours of forum browsing last week convinced me that Vista was going to be even worse. Dorin's testimony of disabling services and tasks is consitent with the kinds of tweaking required to keep a Vista machine in good working order. I have long been convinced that the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the Mac platform is materially less than that of Microsoft. The initial investment is higher, but if your time is worth more than about $25 an hour, the break even will come quickly.
With regard to the stability of LR2, it is my expectation that Lightroom will always have bugs. The complexity of the application will keep it from being any other way.
Having saig that, LR2 rocks!

Windows Vista won't start or install - firmware or EFI problem?

I am running Snow Leopard on a 2.4GHz MacBook Pro, late 08 - early 09 model. I have been using boot camp to run Vista for the past year with no problem. This morning, I tried to start up Vista and it wasn't working. I got the option key screen to choose between OSX and Vista, but after choosing vista, the cursor blinks once and I get a black screen. The computer is quiet and nothing seems to be running.
At first I thought it was a boot camp problem. So I went into OSX, de-partitioned the drive, and repartitioned it. I then stuck the Vista install disk in, and clicked through the boot camp assistant to reinstall. The computer restarted to begin the reinstall process, but instead of starting the install disk, it did the same thing - a single blip of cursor, and then a black screen.
I'm not technically savvy, but that seems like it's not a Windows problem, but a firmware or EFI problem. The computer will run OSX, but it won't run boot camp and it won't start from a CD-ROM. The only other steps I've taken are to run Software Update and the Disk Utility from Safari. Neither helped. I'm out of warranty and would love to be able to fix it without spending tons of money. Any help is appreciated.

open terminal, run the following command:
sudo gpt -r show -l /dev/disk0
(press return, enter admin password, press return again)
output should look something like this:
Betsy7:~ kj$ sudo gpt -r show -l /dev/disk0
Password:
gpt show: /dev/disk0: Suspicious MBR at sector 0
start size index contents
0 1 MBR
1 1 Pri GPT header
2 32 Pri GPT table
34 6
40 409600 1 GPT part - "EFI System Partition"
409640 316879664 2 GPT part - "RAPTOR"
317289304 262144
317551448 200889128 3 GPT part - "RAPTOR2"
518440576 262144
518702720 67287033 4 GPT part - "XP"
585989753 82582
586072335 32 Sec GPT table
586072367 1 Sec GPT header
The first line:
"gpt show: /dev/disk0: Suspicious MBR at sector 0"
should be identical to mine. If the "Suspicious MBR"
line is missing, then it is a GPT problem, which indicates
that the MBR information is missing or more likely corrupt.
also the second and third lines will read:
start size index contents
0 1 PMBR
instead of:
start size index contents
0 1 MBR
If the MBR info in the GPT partition is corrupt or missing,
then (obviously) Windows won't be bootable.
The only tool reliably capable (that I know of) of repairing (rebuilding) the GPT/EFI
without wiping off all partitions and repartitioning the drive
is iPartition:
http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iPartition.php
The command line program "gpt" is incomplete, so use
it at your own risk:
BUGS
The development of the gpt utility is still work in progress. Many necessary features
are missing or partially implemented. In practice this means that the manual page,
supposed to describe these features, is farther removed from being complete or useful.
As such, missing functionality is not even documented as missing. However, it is believed
that the currently present functionality is reliable and stable enough that this tool can be used
without bullet-proof footware if one thinks one does not make mistakes.

What can I do if my Windows 7 or Windows Vista laptop won't start?

I have joined many forums in my short computer life. This is by far the best forum that I have been a part of. It really up sets me when people come on here and complain before they have even given any of the staff or advisors a chance to help them with their problem. What can I do if my Windows 7 or Vista laptop won't start.

This is a great tutorial. Step by step to get your PC up and running and a lot more.Seriosly, if you can't follow this tutorial, you shouldn't have a computer. There will times when this won't work and you will have hardware problems. There are some great people here on the forum that can help you find those problems also. I have tried all these recovery options; they work, and I love my Toshiba laptop. That's why I donate my time to help and that's why others here donate their time. I'm creating this message because I know Google will pick it up. Google picks up every thing
Dokie!!!

Hi!! You should try the recovery feature in W7. Some times it can be accessed through safe mode. On my model it's easier to use the system repair disc. You can find out how to create that here.

You can learn how to use the system repair disc here.

These are basic things you need to know if your going to own a Toshiba laptop.
PS Some day I'm going to convince staff to make a sticky of these things; which would cut their work in half, but then I wouldn't have any thing to do.
Here's what the recovery looks like. You have 5 options to help you. The Dos option can really help if you are familiar with Dos. In Dos you can do a chkdsk---sfc /scannow--- and a whole lot more. Start with the Repair option first and work your way down.
