DV8T and Windows 7-64 4gig Reserved by Hardware

Weird issue. I've had a lot of issues with my two brand new DV8Ts. Both show the same issue where the system just freezes up, video goes blank and the fan shuts down. I've seen instances where take manager shows on 4 gig of RAM and then it is rebooted it shows 8 gig of RAM. I went and removed the DIMMs and put them in the opposit slots and now they only show 4 gig of ram all the time. Resource manager says that there is 4 gig reserved by the Hardware.
Here's the chat I had with HP:
Simon Smith : WIndows cannot see all of the RAM
[An agent will be with you shortly.]
[You are now chatting with Amit Kumar .]
Amit Kumar : Welcome to HP Total Care for notebook support. My name is Amit.
Please give me few moments while I review your issue description.
NOTE: For security reasons, PLEASE DO NOT sends credit card information via chat.
Amit Kumar : Hello Simon. How are you doing?
Simon Smith : Good
Simon Smith : I'm trying to get some support for a DV8T but it wasn't listed when I tried to bring up the chat
Amit Kumar : Simon please let me know what exactly the issue we are facing with the notebook?
Simon Smith : This model is NQ226AV (DV8T-1000). It has Windows 7 64bit. The laptop has 8gig of RAM and BIOS says 8 gig but when windows boots up task manager says 4gig.
Simon Smith : Resource manager says that there's 4 gig reserved by the hardware
Amit Kumar : Simon please click on start then on the run box please type dxdiag and press enter
Amit Kumar : And let me know the available memory
Amit Kumar : Simon are you with me?
Simon Smith : memory 8192MB RAM
Amit Kumar : Its mean that the notebook is taking all 8gigs of memory please do not worry,
Amit Kumar : May I please have the product and serial number of your notebook system?
Amit Kumar : Please look at the backside of the Notebook you will find a bar coded silver sticker and on that sticker you will find an alphanumeric code starting with p/n for product number & s/n for serial number.
Simon Smith : product number is NQ224AV, Serial Number is XXXXXXXXXXX
Amit Kumar : Thank you for providing me the information
Amit Kumar : Kindly confirm your Email Address
Simon Smith : <text removed for privacy>
Amit Kumar : Thank you
Simon Smith : The unit is setup to be shipped back to HP on a Return Authorization Number Friday but if I can fix this problem I'll cancel it.
Amit Kumar : Simon please do not worry about the ram issue
Simon Smith : I've also tried to reset the RAM. At one time diags showed some bad memory.
Simon Smith : Why should I not worry about the RAM issue. I need all 8gig.
Amit Kumar : The notebook is using 8 GIGss
Amit Kumar : Now please do not worry and if you wish that you are not felling comfortable then you can ask for the replacement.
Simon Smith : Is there a special way these memory DIMMS go into the slots?
Simon Smith : If I put them in the opposite slots it sees all 8 gig but then the laptop does a blue screen.
Amit Kumar : Simon when did you purchase the notebook
Simon Smith : I got it in the mail from HP on two weeks ago.
Amit Kumar : Okay
Amit Kumar : Simon are we using the same notebook while chatting with me?
Simon Smith : No
Amit Kumar : Simon let us go ahead and try to reseat the ram once.
Simon Smith : I've done that 10 times already.
Amit Kumar : Simon see if we are getting the available memory of 8 gig then it mean that the notebook is using all the memory perfectly
Simon Smith : Then why does task manager say 4gig and Resource Manager say that 4 gig is reserved by the hardware?
Simon Smith : If I move the memory to the opposite slots it sees all 8 gig but the computer will do a BOSD.
Amit Kumar : I will really appreciate if you do allow me 2-3 minute while I go ahead and quickly do a research on this issue,
Simon Smith : I'll give you all the time you need. I've done some research too and found nothing.
Amit Kumar : Thank you so much
Amit Kumar : Thank you for staying connected with me. I really appreciate your patience.
Amit Kumar : Simon let us go ahead and try to run the diagnose test on the memory once,
Amit Kumar : Please shut down the notebook
Simon Smith : working it now.
Simon Smith : ok it's down
Amit Kumar : Please press the power button and immediately keep on tapping F10 key
Amit Kumar : Please let me know as soon as we are on the BIOS screen
Simon Smith : Ok I'm in the setup utility
Amit Kumar : Now please click on diagnostic option
Simon Smith : ok
Amit Kumar : There we need to click on memory test
Simon Smith : It's running, Says "Dur ing Memory Test"
Amit Kumar : okay
Simon Smith : Memory Test Passed
Amit Kumar : Please let me know if you get any error?
Simon Smith : It's finished
Amit Kumar : Okay
Amit Kumar : Simon let us go ahead and intall the BIOS update
Simon Smith : It's already installed
Simon Smith : V.12
Amit Kumar : Simon did you purchase the notebook online from HP?
Amit Kumar : Simon are you with me?
Simon Smith : Yes I did
Amit Kumar : I am providing you the HP shopping number : 1 (888) 999-4747
Amit Kumar : Please ask for the replacement.
Amit Kumar : I believe there is an issue with the ram slot.
Simon Smith : Is this a known issue with this model?
Amit Kumar : I dont think so
Simon Smith : This is the second one I've had on this order that has the same problem.
Amit Kumar : May be you got a notebook which is having the issue.
Simon Smith : I've already returned the first one.
Amit Kumar : If there is an known issue with this notebook then we should have the updates
Amit Kumar : I will raise your concern to my senior authority
Simon Smith : Yea you would think. I'm reading on HP's forum that several people are having issues like mine.
Amit Kumar : I will definitely raise this concern.
Simon Smith : Thanks... I'll end chat now.
Amit Kumar : Simon I would request you to please ask for the replacement one more time
Amit Kumar : Thank you for giving me an opportunity to assist.
Please let me know if you have another issues or queries that I might help you in resolving?

...don't crash into a tree trying to avoid a skunk...

Update... So after swapping around the memory to the opposite slots I still couldn't get Windows to see all the memory. It's always saying Hardware Reserved 4106 MB. 
Then I decided to reflash the current v.12 system ROM to v.12 again. Once I did that it was able to see all 8GIG. So, I shutdown the laptop and swapped the memory around again. This time it only saw 4 gig after windows booted up. Ok so I flashed the BIOS again. Once it rebooted and went into WIndows and it now sees all 8 gig.  I picked up the laptop and moved it over to my desk and it rebooted and hung at the Blue HP Logo. So now I'm back to the origional issue. Flakey issue for sure. I had to power it off. When windows came up it only saw 4 gig of ram. I've rebooted three more times and it still only sees 4 gig of RAM. I even tried flashing the BIOS again and nothing.
I think there's two issues. One is with the BIOS and a possible memory mapping issue and the other is a memory seating issue.
I chatted with Tech support again about this and they said there's no way to fall over of v.12 of the BIOS update. The flash utility doesn't allow for that.
I'd like to hear from other's that have experienced the same issue.

  • 5640 drivers and Windows 8.1 ... some hardware issues

    have the latest bootcamp drivers installed on my mbp in windows 8.1.
    When i put the computer to sleep, then wake ... wifi will not reconnect.
    Normally, on the wireless connections pane, directly above the list of wifi connections, the toggle switch says "WIFI". But after waking up from sleep, the toggle switch says "WIFI 2" ... in either instance, the toggle switch is set to on.
    anyone know if this is a bug with the bootcamp drivers, windows or something else ? right now I have to pretty much restart to get wifi connected and working in windows.
    the second issue I noticed: my keyboard backlighting doesn't come on instantly when the welcome screen comes up. in fact, it doesn't illuminate until i start toggling the dedicated illumination keys. strange behavior.
    i've tried reinstalling the driver package from the 5640 zip, still experiencing these problems.
    anyone have any info on what these issues might be caused by or anyone experiencing them as well ?

    I have also been having this issue on my newly bought Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro (rMBP), running Windows 8.1 Pro (using native EFI) with Boot Camp's latest drivers (version 5.1.5640). After waking up from sleep, the "Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter" becomes the "Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter #2" and subsequently "Wi-Fi" becomes "Wi-Fi 2," requiring me to reconnect to all of my networks since Windows seems to tie saved wireless networks to the driver.
    Here is what I've found so far (note that when I say "Wi-Fi 2," I mean the driver is using the Network Adapter #2 instead of the original, numberless one):
    This only happens to Windows--the Mac side is fine.
    This only happens when Windows is put to sleep; hibernation and Fast Boot shutdown do not change the driver. I'm actually using hibernation right now as an alternative to sleep mode because it works fine.
    Sleeping a second time within the same Windows session keeps "Wi-Fi 2" as "Wi-Fi 2."
    I need to restart to get the original driver to work again. Shutting down *may* work, though, but since hibernation keeps "Wi-Fi 2" as "Wi-Fi 2" and doesn't change the driver back, I doubt it. Maybe non-Fast Boot shutdown would also fix it, but restart works well enough.
    Essentially, sleep mode is unusable in Windows, since this network shuffle makes it so all networks need to be re-added.
    Now, I have also noticed that booting into Windows with the Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adapter causes the Network Adapter to become "Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter #3" (and thus creating a "Wi-Fi 3" entry on the connection manager). I'm assuming that the Ethernet Adapter would also cause the Network Adapter #2 to appear if it were uninstalled previously.
    AND, in the Windows Event Viewer, I see this, and I wonder if it is related to the above because the Wi-Fi adapter uses the PCI-express bus on the Late 2013 rMBP:
    "The system firmware has changed the processor's memory type range registers (MTRRs) across a sleep state transition (S4). This can result in reduced resume performance."
    What the heck is going on here??
    I have tried messing around with the Device Manager's various Power Management tabs, as well as the Link State Power Management stuff in the Windows Control Panel. Nothing worked, and I have since set everything back to normal and changed every "Sleep" option I could find to "Hibernate." This isn't an ideal workaround due to the writes this makes to the SSD, so if anyone has a fix or can help figure this out that would be most appreciated!

  • Huge Difference in FPS from OSX and windows 8

    I have a 2011 27" iMac with 6770m, 4gigs of ram, i5 (stock lower end 27")and windows 8 installed through bootcamp.  I wanted to use it for gaming only to think that it was unusable.  Recently I had realized that all I had to do was to lower the resolution.  I was able to play BF3 at 30 FPS on medium settings and Arma 2 DayZ mod at around 40 FPS both at 1600 x 900.  The next day I turn my computer back on after shuting it down from the last day, and the FPS on both games had dropped with the same settings down to ~10 FPS.  I tested out Minecraft and tried to get the max fps possible (small windowed mode, disable vsync, max fps, tiny rendering) and got around 180 FPS,  I went over to OSX and got around 500 FPS with the same settings.  I unistalled and reinstalled my drivers, restarted smc, neither worked.  Any help would be apreciated

  • Networking Snow Leopard to XP and Windows 7

    Hi all,
    I have a MacPro (OS X 10.6.3), a Pentium (Windows XP) and a Toshiba Laptop (Windows 7).
    I use a D-Link DIR-825 Xtreme N Dualband Gigabit router with the Snow Leopard and Windows XP PCs, a Lexmark laser printer and an Epson inkjet connected (wired) into the back. The Windows 7 laptop is connected wirelessly). All PCs see the internet and can network print, however, they can't see each other or file share. As usual I have to ask Apple and then Microsoft for help as D-Link do not support this network query saying that it is the PCs' operating system setting that I should look at. Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    First all make sure in both Window systems that you allow local file sharing. For your first problem read this MacRumors thread and the posts will show you how to connect to the Windows 7 machine. Plus this Gizmodo blog article for Vista might help you.
    In the D-Link router go to the router settings and give each networked device a "DHCP Reservation" address so you always know the IP of each of your networked devices.
    Lastly make sure you using the same time sever in all three computers.
    Good Luck.

  • Windows Server Essentials Storage Service and Windows Server Essentials Email Service eating memory

    Hi
    I have Windows Server 2012 R2 with Essentials Role installed. I have integrated server with Azure AD, Office 365 and Intune using the Essentials Dashboard integration tools.
    I can see that Windows Server Essentials Storage Service and Windows Server Essentials Email Service are eating much of server memory. What are these services for and why they use a lot of memory? Specially I am wondering about the Email Service. What is
    it for? Server dont handle email in any way so what is this service for? I tried to google it but found nothing.

    Hi
    I have 6GB of memory.
    When I check from Resource Monitor, for Essentials Storage Service, Commit Set is 4G and Working Set is 1,8G.
    Email Service Commit is about 1,8G and Working Set is just below 1G.
    So these two services are reserving almost all the memory.
    Memory is about 85-90% in use all the time, whether it be night or day.
    Server have about 12 users and at the office there is about 2-6 person at the time. Link between server and office is 100M. There are no other services installed but the basic ones. We use server for AD (O365 integration) and file shares. Traffic in File
    Shares are not big. They are more kind of an warehouse that in busy day-to-day use.
    This server is about couple of months old and it has been like this since it was fired up.
    I dont know what to look for from Event Logs and Process Monitor dont give me anything useful.

  • My macbook air (version 10.9.4) display flickers, has random tabs and windows opening, and there are random ads almost everywhere. All this happens when I am using safari. What can I do?

    My macbook air (version 10.9.4) display flickers, has random tabs and windows opening, and there are random ads almost everywhere. All this happens when I am using safari. What can I do?

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

    Bug Check 0xC000021A: STATUS_SYSTEM_PROCESS_TERMINATED
    The result shows that The Winlogon process terminated unexpectedly.
    The cause is explained as below:
    This error occurs when a user-mode subsystem, such as WinLogon or the Client Server Run-Time Subsystem (CSRSS), has been fatally compromised and security can no longer be guaranteed. In response, the operating system switches to kernel mode. Microsoft Windows
    cannot run without WinLogon or CSRSS. Therefore, this is one of the few cases where the failure of a user-mode service can shut down the system.
    Mismatched system files can also cause this error. This can occur if you have restored your hard disk from a backup. Some backup programs might skip restoring system files that they determine are in use.
    To resolve this issue, you may take a try with the following command:
    Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    Reference:
    Fixing component
    store corruption in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012
    Or you may take a PC refresh.

  • Time Capsule setup with 2 machines: iMac and Windows XP

    Long time reader, first-time poster.
    OK, so I just got my new 1TB Time Capsule, set it up and am ready to start designing my backup strategy for home. I'd like to do a few things, and looking for some advice:
    1. I am currently using Time Machine to backup my iMac to an external 250MB drive. I want to switch over my Time Machine backups to the new Time Capsule (which I think I can handle), but then I want to format my other external drive and move my video files over to it to free up disk space on my iMac. Once I do that, how do I tell Time Machine to look for that external 250MB drive as well so that it backs up my video files? I see how to exclude files from the Time Machine backup process, but I'm not sure how to explicitly tell Time Machine to back up other drives outside the main HD.
    2. I also use a Windows XP machine for work and would like to configure Time Machine to look for that machine when I'm connected at home and back up certain files on the Time Capsule. Will it do this...or do I need to login to the Time Capsule from the Windows machine and do this manually over the network share (or use SyncToy or something). If this is the case, am I better off "partitioning" the Time Capsule drive so that Time Machine can use, let's say 750MB of the space and I keep 250MB in reserve for the WIndows Machine?
    I haven't seen any postings like this in this forum, my apologies if someone else has already answered this...hope it makes sense.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!

  • A55M-P33 and windows xp 32bit incompatibility issue ?

    Ok I got a weird one that seems to be more of a compatibility issue than bad parts...
    Motherboard: A55M-P33 MS-7786 V1.0
    CPU: AMD A4 3400
    RAM: Kingston 4GB 10600  KVR1333D3N9/4G
    HDD: Western Digital 500GB Caviar Blue WD5000AAKX
    PSU: CoolerMaster Elite Power 400w  RS-400-PSAR
    OS: Windows XP Home SP3 32bit
    On a clean install of windows I am getting various bsods.  Typically after I install a few round of drivers.  Usually am able to get the dotnetframework + catalyst control center (chipset) drivers installed without incident.  Seemingly about the time I either install the NIC or the SOUND drivers do I start seeing problems.  Sometimes its 0x8e sometimes its 0x50 sometimes i dont get a bluescreen but on startup i get the infamous missing or corrupt /windows/system32/config/system ... I can always boot from a XP disc and run chkdsk /p to get it to startup, but soon thereafter the problem reoccurs (sometimes immediately with the next reboot).  I've tried to use 2 other hard drives, one a brand new WD 1TB, another is a used tester drive we have laying around here.. both have similar results.  I've tried to update the bios to the latest revision (1.4) but that didnt make a difference. 
    Here's the real kicker, I have another PC with almost IDENTICAL hardware (only difference is hard drive) (also of which I havnt spent nearly as much time with as this one) that gets a 0x0A bsod.  All the hardware in both PCs are brand new (unless where otherwise noted).
    Is there some sort of compatibility issue with this hardware and windows xp?  I've let memtest86 run on both PCs for about 24 hours with 0 errors.  Diagnostic on all hard drives mentioned turns up no issues..  I've tried different (new) sata cables as well.  Any insight or any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    here is the latest minidump.  clean install of xp.  installed dotnetframework then chipset drivers - both from CD included with mobo.  restarted the pc about 5 times to get this to occur, happened on shut down.

  • Problem with Sessions and window.open

    Hi,
    Hi everyone,
    Help Please!!!
    I am working with Sevlet session objects and HTML forms and windows. I have an HTML form for the user to supply a username and password. Once the user clicks submit I need to open another browser window that has no toolbar, no location, no status bar, etc. The user should also be able to go back to that login screen and login again and open a 2nd, 3rd, etc. instance of the application. My problem is that each application is being asigned the same sessionId. I believe it is being asigned to the main login window and thus to the other child windows it opens. Is there a way to work around this? Do I need to make the user open another browser window to login? I need to be able to let the user open multiple instances of the application with unique session ids for each.
    Any insight is GREATLY appreciated on this topic. Anything you can tell me about sessions (Java), IE, window.open would help greatly!
    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!
    MA

    To achieve this, you must introduce another level of
    abstraction to the Servlet specifications. When you
    work with JSP/Servlets you use mostly the HttpSession
    to handle user related tasks, and the aplication
    context, for things that are common to all users. But
    inside the HttpSession scope, you want to create
    containers that have 'smaller' scope and are uniquely
    identified.
    A ipothetical scenario :Let's say that you must have
    multiple connections to several databases, on each
    database user rights beeing diferrent, and you must be
    able to track user actions globaly, and eventualy
    capture a 'Close Application event' and close all db.
    connections.
    1. when the user first accesses the login frame create
    the HttpSession. In the HttpSession object, store a
    Hastable (let's call it 'ConnectionTable'). Each
    object in the Hashtable must identify uniqely a
    database connection. Now, to create unique identifiers
    ids, make the keys in the hashtable java.lang.Long
    objects, created using System.getCurrentTimeMillis().
    This guaranties there will be no possible confusion.
    From each new open window, on each request to the
    server, along with the usefull parameters, send the
    connection identifier. When proccessing the request,
    select the object from the Hastable wich corresponds
    to the ID.
    2. Now, the values in the ConnectionTable, must act as
    the containers that I mentioned in the first
    paragraph. The simplest way to do this is to have
    again a Hashtable derived class to do the job, wich
    exploses methods similar to HttpSession: setAttibute (
    Object key, Object value) and getAttibute ( Object
    key, Object value). This container may use internally
    a Hashtable to store object, and explose only the
    getAttribute and setAttribute methods for clarity. Any
    way, this is a problem of implementation. Let's call
    this class CustomSession.
    Now, a textual activity diagram:
    1 user accesses the main page, you start a new
    HttpSession; In the HttpSession object, store the
    ConnectionTable object.
    2. the user enters the userID and pwd and adatabase
    name, and a new window is opened. Let's supose the
    data entered is valid.
    3. when you process the login data, you create a new
    CustomSession object. you put in it whatever you would
    put in your HttpSession. You generate a unique
    identifier using System.CurrentTimeMillis(). Put the
    CustomSession object in the ConnectionTable, using the
    generated id as key. Send the response.
    ..... later on .....
    100. the user asks for a particular action to be
    performed - e.g. a row deletion. The page contains a
    form with text field where the user introduces the
    row number, a submit button and a hidden input with
    the ID.
    101. you process the data. Get the ID from the request
    object, get the ConnectionTable from the session, get
    the CustomSession using the ID as key, do whatever
    your logic was doing, but obtaining the objects from
    the CustomSession instead of HttpSession
    NicNic,
    Very slick idea. I think that it could work and it seems that there would be not security issues because the id that you would store on the client side is the Unique Identifier and not the actual Session Id. Do you forsee any security issues for this implementation?

  • How can I make an icon that links to a webpage that works with Mac and Windows??

    Hi!
    I burn CDs with my photos and send them to clients.   Besides the photos folder, I would like to include a file (similar to the .webloc files on the Mac Desktop) that can be clicked and it will be linked to my website - it will open up a browser window and go to my website .      Is it posssible to make one of these icons that works with both Macs and Windows machines?  Thanks!

    Now it works!  Thanks, Denico!
    The reason I saved to text:   The first time I followed your instructions, it did not work.   I tried to figure out what I did wrong and saw that you wrote to "save as plain text."   I did not know what this means and there was no option available to save a plain text.  So I looked around and saw "save as stationery" and I guessed that maybe that was what you meant.   And after that, it worked!  But the next thing you know, the icons started duplicating themselves.
    I guess I had made a different mistake in the beginning and I fixed it without knowing what it is.
    Thanks for clearing that up.
    But just one question.  WHY does saving as "stationery" make an icon duplicate itself?

  • Is Verizon going to acknowlege the problems with FIOS and Windows Vista

    For months now, I have been reading the numerous problems Fios internet customers are having with Fios internet/Actiontech Router and Windows Vista and there has been no acknowledgement by Verizon of this current major issue.
    I have also experienced the exact same issue for months now since I switched to Verizon FIOS internet. Previously I had Comcast HSI using my Windows Vista laptop.  I had their service for over a year and I NEVER has a problem with the Windows Vista globe icon disappearing and loosing internet connection. The Globe always stayed on and never went away and I never lost connection when I had Comcast
    I had Verizon FIOS installed last September with my Windows Vista computer and my wireless internet connection started to drop from day 1 and it has been a daily occurrence for over 5 months now.  It has gotten so bad, I have had to hardwire my laptop to to be able to use the internet uninterrupted.
    This is what daily scenario is:
    When I turn on my laptop(with Windows Vista, I can initially get full internet access(with the globe on and it says "Local and internet). After about 10 minutes or less, the globe switches to "local only" and I can still get  internet access.  After another 5 or so minutes, a large X covers the globe and I lose internet connection entirely. The actiontech router wireless signal is no longer listed as one of the wireless networks.  The only way for me to regain internet access is either to restart my laptop or reboot the actiontech router.
    Numeorus posts here, over by DSL forums(Broadband Reports),Microsoft's website and a few othere websites detail this issue.
    I am extremely shocked and surprised that Verizon has not tried to fix this issue by working with both the makers of the Actiontech Router as well as Microsoft to find out what the problem is and how to fix it.
    I would just like to reiterate I strongly believe this is primarily a FIOS internet issue since I previously had Comcast HSI for over a year with the same Windows Vista laptop and I NEVER had that problem. Also,  I can connect to my neighbors wireless connection(she uses Comcast HSI) and when I do, the globe stay on all the time on my computer and the internet does not lose connection.
    I know that there are a couple of Verizon employees here. Please tell the higher ups who handle FIOS internet that this is a major issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
    P.S: Please don't tell me to go by my own router because then, I will have to deal with the issues of setting it up to work with Fios TV and the related VOD, widgets, remote DVR compatability issues to deal with. I don't think I can deal with the additional headaches. 

    FIOS is short for fiber optics.  fiber optics is different technology than DSL.   
    With that said, if you search the Microsoft databases for vista issues with fiber optics, (CURRENTLY THERE IS ONLY ONE PROVIDER OF FIBER TO THE HOUSE, that being Verizon, so yes you can also search Vista issues with verizon and\or fios) and you will find that Microsoft already acknowledges this issue with their software.  AND they offer you a fix.

  • IPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 and Windows 7 x64 USB Driver Issues

    Been pulling my hair out with this one for the last week or so and haven't had any luck finding anything on the forums or the web regarding a solution short of a full reinstall of Windows 7 which I am not prepared to do at this time; so hoping someone here can shine some light on this for me
    I have a iPhone 5 that is updated to iOS 6.1.4 and a recently built Windows 7 64-bit machine. All of my other USB devices function fine (keyboard, mouse, Xbox 360 wireless receiver for Windows, and a Seagate 2TB external USB drive). I've downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, installed successfully and then attempt to plug in my phone to sync. I get the standard Windows *ding* that I've attached a device and 1 of 2 things happens (I haven't been able to determine what causes one reaction to happen versus the other): Windows will successfully install the 'Apple USB Mobile Device Driver' successfully and it will appear under my USB devices in Device Manager. However - iTunes will not recognize the phone and I cannot see it in Windows either. In the 'Devices and Printers' snap-in my iPhone will appear under 'Unspecified Devices' as the 'Apple USB Mobile Device'. The iTunes diagnostics fail to find a connected device so the tests fail. As soon as I unplug the device, the strangest thing happens: Windows will start trying to install a device driver and after a few seconds it will fail stating that the "MTP Device Driver" installation failed because the device was unplugged. iTunes also thrown an error "iTunes cannot connect to this iPhone" throwing error code 0XE8000065 (I've also seen error code 0XE8000085 as well)
    After some finagling, I've managed to get Windows to recognize the device under 'Portable Devices' in Device Manager as an "MTP USB Device" using the generic driver. At this point, I've tried updating the driver and manually specifying the Apple USB driver located in the C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Drivers which updates successfully but then changes the device to "Apple USB Mobile Device" and moves it under the USB Devices in Device Manager; and Windows nor iTunes can see it even still.
    I've tried removing iTunes several times and ensuring that all remnants of the installation are gone (registry and folders on the installation drive) and have disconnected all my USB devices short of the keyboard and mouse and still I get the same results. At this point, I'm afraid that a re-install of Windows is going to be the solution; but it's a drastic one (I have a SSD drive where Windows is installed along with all of my games for faster load times/better performance and do not want to have to redownload\reinstall all of them) and I'm not prepared to undertake it at this time, which is why I'm posting here
    I've used a utility called USBDeview that sees my phone is connected - so I know from a functional standpoint that my USB ports are good and working. I also know the cable is good too - my daughter's PC (Windows 7 32-bit with NO iTunes) immediately sees the device when I plug it in, installs the drivers, recognizes it as an iPhone and I can then see/browse it in Windows Explorer like I would normally expect. My work PC (Windows 7 64bit, NO iTunes) sees the device just fine as well. I would immensely appreciate anyone that has seen this issue or has any additional solutions I can try.
    It's also worth mentioning that I've never used Kapersky antivirus so the UPPERFILTERS value in the registry that I've seen as a solution on some forums is not present on my machine. I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials as my antivirus (no flaming please lol - it meets my needs and is extremely lightweight, which is why I'm using it on a gaming rig) and it's not indicating any issues. I've also tried running iTunes as an administrator (even though my account is a local admin on the machine) and that does not have any effect either.
    If there is anything I left out, please let me know; and I thank you in advance!

    Of course not.  Didn't you bother to read the TOU of this forum?  This is a USER TO USER technical support forum.  Apple doesn't post here.

  • IPod Nano: Error Message "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it"

    Hi everyone, I just received 2 brand new iPod Nanos for my kids for Christmas, thought I'd be smart and sync them both now before wrapping them so I don't have to be messing around with them on the day. One synced without a problem, then using the same cable, same computer, same USB port, the 2nd one came up with "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it" I've tried restarting my computer, unplugging and reinserting the USB. Is there anthing else I can try before returning it? Thanking you for any help.

    I have solved my problem, I ended up ringing Apple and got an awesome lady who told me to reset it by pressing the sleep button and menu button together for about 10 seconds and once it actually turned on for the first time the computer then recognised it, so it's all good, :-) Thank you lovely lady!

  • ITunes and Windows 8 Home Sharing (Possible Fix)

    If this fix has been posted elsewhere then I apologize, but I wanted to share what I stumbled on as a possible for for iTunes Home Sharing and Windows 8. I did a lot of port forwarding, both on my router and my Norton firewall, but nothing seemed to help. After a few minutes my Apple TV and iOS devices would stop seeing my iTunes library. The only way to fix it was to reboot the router.
    On a whim I looked in my Device Manager and found under Network Adapters a device called Microsoft Kernel Debug Network Adapter. I disabled this, rebooted my computer, and have since no issues with Home Sharing. It's only been a few hours, but that is the longest I've gone since installing Windows 8. I'll look in the morning to see if it still works.
    So give this method a try and see what happens. Hopefully it will fix your problems.

    Here are the three steps I took to get Home Sharing working successfully on Apple TV. This has worked for the better part of a week so hopefully it will work well for others.
    In your software firewall create two new Inbound Rules. Open port 3689 (TCP) and port 5353 (UDP) to All Programs.
    If your hard drive goes to sleep after a certain period, be sure to change to something greater than 30 min. (Control Panel -> Power Options -> Change Plan Settings -> Change Advanced Power Settings -> Hard disk -> Turn off hard disk after -> Setting)
    On your Apple TV change when it goes to sleep. I changed mine to 10 hours.
    This seems to keep the connection alive. On occassion it will look like it gets stuck loading, but just let it go. At some point it wil kick on. If you generates a connection error just try loading the media again and it should start.
