File.openWithDefaultApplication sometimes not working on XP

Hi there,
We have encountered a problem with our AIR2 app (compiled to a native.exe installer) and openWithDefaultApplication on XP.
We are using it to open the downloaded update.exe for our application. Sometimes on windows XP the call to openWithDefaultApplication simply does nothing. This has occurred both on machines without firewalls/antivirus running and those with one or both running.
Any ideas what the problem is? It only fails sometimes not every time, but it failing means the updater for our app won't run after download!

Uploading Files Using InputFile Component -- Sometimes not working

Hello,
This is the 2nd time I make a post about it!
Because I have more than 1 application using upload, and everything is correct! But it doesn't work as it should!
You can check the original post here: Uploading Files Using InputFile Component - Sometimes not working
I need a solution please!
The only thing we can conclude is that it could be a bug from oracle !!! (???) But I talked with other people and they say that it works fine for them.
There is one important thing: when we put a form to "Uses Upload = true" it seems that the page doesn't work very normal. For exemple: if you use a table in a form that uses upload the table get's "crazy".
Thanks,
JP

I have now access to METALINK!
I can find some problems and patches about inputFile but not mine! I will check better later!
I think the problem is caused because of my framework!

[LAVA Cross Post] CTRL+SHIFT+ Shortcuts sometimes not working in LabVIEW

Cross-post from LAVA: http://lavag.org/topic/15619-ctrlshift-shortcuts-sometimes-not-working-in-labview/
See the above post for more information - here's a synopsis:
CTRL+SHIFT modifiers are not working while running LabVIEW in a Parallels 7 virtual machine. This problem affects both LV2011 and LV2012. I'm not certain that this is a LabVIEW bug - could be an issue with my virtual machine environment or it's configuration - except that CTRL+SHIFT modifiers work in other applications on the affected VMs. It's just LabVIEW that appears to ignore shortcuts with the CTRL+SHIFT modifiers.
Any ideas?

Any news on that?
@mellroth figured out the solution :-)

I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

cor-el,
Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

Hyperlink to file in JSP not working

I have a JSP page where I am providing a hyperlink to a file on the C: drive as follows
Try this
Nothing happens when I click this hyperlink.
When I scroll over the hyperlink I see the correct path "file:///C:/ReqImport/data.txt" in the status bar and when paste this path in my address bar, it does open up the file.
Any ideas why this file hyperlink does not work on this JSP page.
Thanks

Hmm, you're right, I just tried it and it doesn't appear to work. It looks like a security thing: If the original page is on my hard drive, links to other files on my hard drive work. But when the original page is on a web server, links to files on my hard drive don't appear to work.
Do you realize that such a link is referring to a file on the C: drive of the client, the user, not the C: drive of the server? I'm not sure what you're up to, but for most applications such a link is pretty much useless, as you normally have no way of knowing what files the user has on his C: drive.

Check the path you've specified. It may well be;
<%@include file="hello.jsp" %>or
<%@include file="/Includes/hello.jsp" %>

File conversion is not working

File conversion is not working.

Using online services and it simply times out. I login and upload the file
I want converted and it takes 5 mins or longer and then simply says the
file conversion failed.
I got one file to work, but it took like 12 tries.
Very annoying and it's impossible to call and get a tech person to help.

File sharing is not working from pc to imac os x 10.9.2

file sharing is not working from pc to imac os x 10.9.2

Hello there Karen,
It sounds like you are having to power cycle your modem to get internet back every single day. We can start by troubleshooting your Airport Express to help isolate the issue. I would first perform a Soft Reset, then test the issue again. If needed as a last resort I would then perform a Hard Reset:
Soft reset
Connect the device to power and wait for it to complete its start up process. To learn more about the start up process, please see All about Wi-Fi base station Status Lights (LED).
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip for 1 full second, then release it. The light (LED) will begin flashing amber, indicating that the device is in soft reset mode.
From the AirPort menu bar item, choose the network created by the device (the network name does not change).
Open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station, then click Edit (The Edit window will indicate that the base station is in Soft Reset mode).
Move through the tabs to make changes to your passwords or other settings as needed, and click Update and Continue as required
Quit AirPort Utility.
Hard reset
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
Release the button and the device will reset.
Wait about a minute for the base station to finish restarting, then open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station from Other Wi-Fi Devices, then click Edit.
Select the Other Options button.
Select "Restore previous settings" and click Next until you get to the final window.
AirPort Utility will indicate that Setup is complete. Click Done.
Quit AirPort Utility.

File manager still not working w 10.7.3combo

Since installing lion (I started with 10.7.2) file manager is not working. Yes, I can force uit it and than it does but it is still very annoying and time consumin to do it 2-4 times a day. I was hoping that 10.7.3 will solv it. Than installed based on advice I received hee 10.7.3 compbo but the problem is still there.
Do you know or have you run accross a thread that explains how to solve it?
Advanced thats to anyone who can help
Ruvy

What is "file manager?" Is that a piece of third-party software, or are you referring to the Finder? If it's third-party software, you'll need to contact the developer for an update or fix. If the Finder is not working (how is it not working?), then you could try some of the tips in Understanding upgrade nightmares.

Mark debug 'sometimes' not working

I find mark debug sometimes not working.In my new project ,I add mark debug = true, then set up the debug nets.I can't find them in the assigned nets ,but from the netlists I find some of them.The missing nets are wire type,notregister type.Does the command not work on wire type nets?
Because my project is very large, searching for the nets requires a very long time.So I hope Xilinx can fix this bug.

Rather than open another thread, I'll extend this one since I'm having what I think is the same problem.
I'm using Vivado 2014.4. "Flatten" is set to "None". The nets are set in the elaborated design with MARK_DEBUG and DONT_TOUCH. But when synthesis gets done with them, the names are completely different.
I don't care if the "equivalent" nets are still there. I need the names. Every time synthesis runs, it's a crapshoot whether the names will change. Particularly bad are 500+ bit buses that get exploded into individual signals. I don't have the time to regather them into the proper buses every time.
In general, I've been pleased with the changes in Viviado. But I can't believe how badly a wonderful tool like ChipScope has been screwed up.

The Open URL or File function is not working when I publish as a exe?

The Open URL or File function is not working when I publish as a exe. I have tried putting the exe in the same location as the files with no luck. How do I get the buttons to function properly with a exe file.

Have you set the Publish folder as a trusted location in Flash Global Security?
If not, please read this post:

Equium L40-156 - Indicator WLAN sometimes not work

Hello peoples - has anyone any idea wha this is bout?
I cant seem to find a similar problem anywhere. The indicator light for the wireless connection will sometimes not work - as a result i have to manually go into network connection and turn on wireless cap. - this will not turn the light on but does allow me to access the internet.
This happens for a few weeks and then it all rights itself for a few weeks,
Then it happens again.

Hi
Do you mean this issue happens sometimes but in most cases you can enable the WLan properly?
First of all to enable the WLan you have to move the WLan antenna switch to ON (be sure that it has been switched properly to the right) and you have I use the FN+F8 key combination.
Usually this enables the WLan.
Im not sure why the WLan antenna switch does not work sometimes maybe its a hardware issue; for example loose connection or the switch was not moved properly who knows
Maybe it would be a good idea to ask an technician for a WLan switch check...

Layout adjustment sometimes not working

I'm in a bit of a panic here. We've set up a file that we're due to deliver to a client today, the file has multiple master pages with various margins.
Normally in this type of situation we turn on the layout adjustment so that the text frame moves with the margins when the new master is applied. Normally this works just fine, we use it all the time, but for some reason its randomly NOT working! i.e. the text frame stays the size it was.
There doesn't seem to be any ryme or reason to it, sometimes its a left page, sometimes a right page.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ken

Yeah, I tried. Nothing seems to work all the time as is usually does.
I'll have to look again and see if I can find some correlation with the
pages that do not adjust.
Oy!
Thanks again

Applescript sometimes not working in saving a Safari website

I have a script to check if there are certain items on Ebay. The script is on my server and than emails me the archive.
I use the following script that only works haphazardly. sometime it saves it sometimes not. at all times it opens the web-site, no problem. However the saving is a hit and miss. And I do not understand why. anybody see as to why?
tell application "Safari"
activate
delay 5
          tell application "System Events"
                    tell application "Safari" to activate
                    keystroke ("http://www.ebay.co.uk")
delay 5
keystroke (ASCII character 13)
                    delay 20
                    tell process "Safari" to keystroke "s" using command down
delay 2
                    tell process "Safari" to keystroke "d" using command down
delay 2
                    keystroke ((("XXX") & (do shell script "date '+%d.%m.%Y'") & (".webarchive")))
delay 2
keystroke (ASCII character 13)
          end tell
end tell

Pierre Bonjour.
It works under 10.6 too. Thanks.
Since both scripts work it gives me a few options.
I amended your script a tick to ad a name to the file. I did this since it gets e-mailed later and as such the name will be constant when scripting to e-mail it.
here it is.
open location "http://www.ebay.co.uk"
repeat until application "Safari" exists
delay 4 -- wait until application "Safari" exists
end repeat
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Safari"
          set theMenuItem to menu item "Save as…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
          repeat until enabled of theMenuItem is true
delay 4 -- wait until the window is completely loaded
          end repeat
delay 1
keystroke "s" using {command down} -- save
delay 2
keystroke "Name" -- give the file a name
delay 1
keystroke "d" using {command down} -- save to desktop
delay 1
          set thePopUpButton to pop up button 1 of group 1 of sheet 1 of window 1
          if value of thePopUpButton is not "Web Archive" then
click thePopUpButton
                    keystroke "Web" & return
          end if
click button "Save" of sheet 1 of window 1
delay 1
          if sheet 1 of sheet 1 of window 1 exists then
                    click button "Replace" of sheet 1 of sheet 1 of window 1
