Forms 9i under Windows XP needs Administrator Priviledges

Hi all,
I have installed iDS 902 (for Forms9i) on a WinXP Pro (SP1) Client with a Windows 2003 Server.
I log onto the client machine using a service user account and the Forms/Libraries are all held on a network share.
The Forms open ok but ALL the libraries fail to open (get a PDE-PLI018 error - "cannot open the file").
If, however, I log onto the Client as a local administrator I can access the files just fine.
Is this something to do with my access as a domain account user on the client? - I don't really want to be a local administrator, I would just like my network login to work.
In addition to this, I am unable to run the Forms as I cannot start the OC4J Forms service (but I can if I am logged in as administrator on the local client).
Sorry if this is a bit of a basic post, but I couldn't find any answers here or on metalink.

I have solved the problem by making the user a member of the domain administrators group which is an administrator on the local machine.
This seems a bit overkill for each developer to be an administrator ...
Regards,
Steve

Problems compiling KVM under windows

Hi there,
We tried to compile KVM under windows platforms and failed.
Compilation failed at the java files under j2me_cldc\tools\jcc
Therefore we do not have: nativeFunctionTableWin.c and nativeRelocationWin.c
Can you please help us to compile the java files or send us the *.c files.
Thanks
Ronny Sherer.
mailto:[email protected]

I had the same trouble and this is what I did to get the KVM to compile.
1. First of all to compile under windows you need a the Visual Basic Compiler and Linker to compile the C files.
Also, in order for the makefiles to work properly, you need to install cygwin with basic command line functions (make,find,pwd...). And you need to place the cygwin commands ahead of the windows commands in your PATH eg set PATH = C:\cygwin;C:\windows.
2. COPY the classes dir in j2me_cldc\bin\common\api
TO the j2me_cldc\api dir
3. Then modify the makefiles - where it has $(JAVAC) imediately after it type -target 1.1
so for example in j2me_cldc\api\makefile the line
$(JAVAC) -g$(DEBUGFLAG) -d tmpclasses -bootclasspath classes \
becomes
$(JAVAC) -g$(DEBUGFLAG) -target 1.1 -d tmpclasses -bootclasspath classes \
NOTE: nowhere did I find anything to suggest that the KVM must be compiled under Java 1.1 but this is what worked for me.

USB device failures and need to re-update under Windows 7 / Satellite A505

I'm having a devil of a time trying to get access again to a set of devices which worked fine under Vista-32 and backward..
Recent self-repaired problem, The laptop refused to accept a Garmin eTrex GPS via any other USB port except port 1 (the top-left port).. Attempts to attach it via ports 2 or 3, resulted in failure to read device, and Windows Device Manager reported the GPS asn an unknown device. The fix to get it to accept the device on these ports, required uninstalling the driver to those two ports (plugging the device into either of those ports, when seen by Device manager, uninstall the device, unplug it, the plug it back in again.) result now, all 3 ports will now accept the gps.
Now, an old device failure.. I have 3 different Prolific USB to Serial (rs-232C) adaptor cords, for connecting to older serial devicees. (older GPS's, external older computers, robotics projects, etc.) as of yet, the above remove/replace method will not allow connection of these cables (yes, using the supplied drivers, and a few generic found online from Prolific themselves) and, likewise refuse to access the devices connected to them.
There is one other device, which uses another form of USB to serial (FTDI Chip, device is the Arduino microcontroller, which uses the FTDI D2xx chip to connect via USB) I'm surprised, is actualy in the installed Windows-7 driver library, as well as a Microchip PIC18C745 (Vellaman P8055 project board) (also native device under Windows-7)
I've tried to find a reliable Prolific driver, but as of yet, these devices (Including one used in Microsoft's labeled version of the Pharos GPS500 dongle, which is sold with Microsoft Streets & Trips 2009 (The driver for this one, on other computers has caused system crashes.. Even under Vista & XP)
Is this a problem with the laptop itself, or Windows-7 that I'm fighting?

the app. is working greate under windows 2000, 98, ME.
does anyone know this problem and how to fix it?
Thanks Guy.

i "just" develope an application that connected to an exsiting servers and upload data to them.
the problem is that when i run this app. under windows XP, the screen ( the application created in "Form Base") become white, like the program is stuck.
there is no error, it's seems to be an invalidate problem, but i try to out invalidate everywhere but it is still doen't fix this problem.
the app. doesnot stuck, it is just looks like that!!!!!
the weird thing is when i run this app. under all other windows, it's working fine.

Cannot install Air from download. Need Administrator permission. I am the Administrator. Windows 7

How can I install Air from download? Error msg: Need Administrator permisssion. I am the Admisistrator. Windows 7 64bit.

Ok, it works on my IPAD but not my PC. UGH

During the installation of Mozilla Firefox 4.0 on Windows Vista, I received an error message saying that I need administrative privileges to install. Are administrative privileges necessary to install Mozilla Firefox 4.0 on Windows Vista?

The happens when I attemp to install Mozilla Firefox 4.0 on a classified network. Initially when I try to install Firefox 4.0, a screen comes up saying that I need administrative privileges to install. Then when I cancel my logon username/password administrative screen, the installation process lets me continue and I can install the Firefox 4.0 software. I would like to know if Firefox 4.0 might encounter problems later on a classified network if Im able to install the software initially.

hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

X200 under Windows 7, fingerprint login pass through stalls

(sorry, new to the forum --- I think this way of expressing the subject will be less likely to be ignored)
This is a new machine for us as well as a new operating system.
We aren't using the fingerprint login and don't intend to. Usually when the machine boots into Windows first the fingerprint log in screen appears, but in a few seconds passes throgh to the password signin. But not always. Sometimes "stalls" in the fingerprint screen. There I can use "swicth users" and can log in with the supervisor account password but not a user account without administrator rights (it still wants a fingerprint and says not available)
Can somebody tell me if I can completely turn off the fingerprint log in screen and if so, how. I assume that would be unchecking something in the Windows start up but being new to 7 I don't even know how to look for it.

Two problems with trying that:
a) Not an available option If Iopen the control panel I see eight options: System & Security, Neytwork & Internet, Harware & Sound, Program, User Accounts and Family Safety, Appearance and Personalization, Clock, Language, and Region, and Ease of Access. No "Change Bionmetric Settings".
This Winodws 7 Pro 64 bit
b) I could have done more on introduction but didn't see the need. While these little computers aren't THAT familiar to me I am retired from decades in the cypher mines in the world of large mainframes. So Iknow SOMETHING about the problem. When Windows is booting up it will start a number of tasks (services) ending with the one that will prodiuce the log in screen. Or in this case, two such routines, one first dsplaying the fingerprint log in screen, then, after a few seconds, running another routine that brings up the normal password sign in screen. At least, that's what happens wen it doesn't "stall" .
I am asking if anybody can tell me how I turn off the first. It isn't clear that turing off the device that this first routine is trying to access wouldn't make things even worse (unclear that disabling thdevice would remove the routine from the liust of things Windows does when coming up -- perhaps the "stall" is even relted to it not getting a "ready" response form the fingerprint reader).
I am new to Windows7. If still under Windows XP I know there is something that I run that brings up the "things to do while starting up" where you can check or uncheck things (I'd have to find my notes to give more details) but I don't know what that would be under Windows 7 nor, if I got there, the name of the "fingerprint log in" routine to uncheck nor the name of the routine to check that devices without a fingerprint reader would use.
PROBLEM STILL OPEN

Denied Downloading Creative Cloud Installer, Requires Administration Priviledge

Why is it that when I am trying to download the Creative Cloud installer or for that matter the Adobe Application manager on my home personal computer I am told that this requires Administration priviledge?
Where do I get this adminstration priviledge to continue the downloading of the software?

Background - Installing under Windows 7 from Photo subscription
Problem - failure some way into the download process with the message that the next stage requires administrative privileges
What's it got to do with Adobe?
This has a lot to do with Adobe. Standard MS security practice is use a user account with minimum privileges for all normal purposes - such as running e-mail. In addition, the "Administrator" account login is disabled by default and the expectation is that the machine will be managed by a different account with user privileges. The Adobe acceptance e-mail will normally be loaded into the user account where the e-mail client (e.g Outlook) is accessed. Following the instructions on this e-mail will lead to the install being attempted into the user account with minimum privileges. Every other recent application I come across will request a password of an admin account to proceed with the install in these cases. Adobe's install just dies with its unhelpful message.
It's actually worse than this, since Adobe require that the download takes place into the administrator account - as you need to enable login first. (Run as Adminstrator does not seem to be an option with the download process, as the executable file is not obviously available to run)
When you are on a relatively slow connection (as I am.. 2.3mb dowload) the need to work through this is a bit tedious. Things now seem to be working, but its the third iteration.
Solution
1. Follow the instruction on the acceptance e-mail and click Get Started to get the web screen up in the user account. Copy the web address this generates from the top left of the browser (highlight and press <Ctrl>+C). Paste this into a text file - save to a stick or an area of shared storage. Exit the browser and account.
2. Enable the built in Administrator account from your management account (see How to enable and disable the Windows Administrator account for example. Make sure you give the account a suitably complicated password but don't rename it. (you'll disable the login anyway when you've finished)
3. Exit the management account and log in to the built-in Administrator account, which will now be available. Go to www.adobe.com change your region if necessary, (bottom left hand of screen) and log in, ticking the keep logged on box. Open a new browser tab and copy in the saved web address from the acceptance e-mail. Things should now work (well they seem to be working for me, anyway.., though I am not sure how Adobe will handle things if the program download fails because of comms problems (1.5 hrs for 38% of photoshop)
4. Remember to disable login to the built in Admin a/c when you finish.
A better solution
Adobe to take account of the above when putting its load routines together.. at the very, very least provide some warning and instruction on the acceptance e-mail.
BW to anyone who picks this up & good luck

Mini SAP 7.01 under Windows Vista

Hi every one,
I wanna share my experience with you for installing version 7.01 under Vista. This might help you.
I have installed the newest version ([Message from Klaus Keller| of Mini SAP under Windows Vista and, believe it or not, it all went correct. It is important that you download version Netweaver 7.01, since previous versions are not supported in Vista.
In the download section (http://www.sdn.sap.com/downloads/netweaver/abap/disclaimer.html) you find in file part 1 the description of process in a HTML & PDF file. You must pay much attention to what is described there; otherwise, it might happen that the installation process is not sucessful.
I´m not gonna describe the whole installation process. This is already in the download files. Just a reference of what I did:
1 ) make a backup of your information and have your Windows Vista disk at hand. It might happen that you have to format the computer´s hard disk if something goes wrong (this happened to me a couple of times in previous versions of Mini SAP and Windows XP). This is so, because it is impossible to erase some files and information in the registry (even with the Registry Clean Tool that is also downloadable in SDN). A new installation try was hopeless in those versions.
2) shut the firewall and antivirus off before you start.
3) don´t try to name your computer using special characters like - _ / & % and so on; additionally, name should be max. 13 characters long.
4) you need a user account for windows, even if you´re the only one to use the computer and you must assign a password to that user. You need it once you start the server through the SAP management console.
5) Install the Microsoft loopback adapter
once installed, system names it LAN-connection2 and you must asign a permanent IP address. Press button characteristics for its element Internet protocol version 4, where you enter:
IP-Address 10.10.0.10
Subnetwork mask 255.255.255.0
Don´t touch element Internet protocol version 6 !!
6) file hosts under c:windowssystem32driversetc --> add an entry for the host like this:
#Inicio de insercion
10.10.0.10               jalonso           "<-- this is my computer´s name and host name
You must have administrator rights and change the status write-protected for being able to modify it.
7) Process takes less than 1 hour, mostly without user interference.
8) if desired, install Adobe LifeCycle Designer before starting with SAP GUI. It happened to me once (Windows XP) that the installed SAP GUI was erased during installation of LifeCycle. It all then turned into a big mess and I had better to format the hard disk.
9) install SAP GUI on your computer, which is part of the downloaded files.
If installation was sucessful, it might happen that you experience a problem when starting the application server (start --> SAP Netwaever 7.01 --> NSP --> Start application server). You get a red screen with a couple of error messages ([read my post|;). It is not a very serious problem, ´cause you can start the server with the SAP management console anyway.
Hope this helps you when installing Mini SAP 7.01 in your computer.

I am having a heck of a time with this install. My OS is Windows Vista Ultimate.
I've read and re-read several forums and tried all the recommendations.
I've tried installing many time now and each time the install runs to 19% and I get a message " stopping Xserver".
Then it runs to 20% and I get a message "preparing packages for installation".
Then it runs for about 3 seconds and I receive the following:

Is it possible to open the Task Form in new window?

Hi,
For the Oracle Business Process Workspace (BPM 11g), when opening a work item, is it possible to configure out the Workspace to open the Task Form in new window instead of opening in the bottom section under the work item list?
Thanks

"your project folder in workspace"\webRoot\webResources
under the above path, you will have img folder and place the image containing your custom logo.
under the same path you will have src folder
in that folder you can place your custom css file (eg. mycustomstyles.css) and you need to define your styles in this file
you can call the style items for the presentation objects at design time for labels and all other objects. But do not forget to refer your custom css file in the properties section.
Once you open the bpm presentation object in which you want to apply your css, in properties pane you observe four options in CSS sub section of properties. Here select the CSS file with webroot path and give appropriate styles to each presentation data objects.
hope this is clear to you.

HTMLBrowser PJC under Windows XP

Hi
I have tried installing the htmlbrowser pjc available here:
http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/article-1890238.html
I could not get the pjc to work. I raised this as a SR with oracle support which is here
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=110:20:8078722417852957408::::P20_TARNUM,P20_CTRYCODE:5690790.993,840
When I run the supplied demo form I get the error:
"unable to build HTML pane for http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/beantimer/beantimer.htm:java.io.IOException: Connection failure with 407"
I thought it might be related to the intial URL being used so I tried to edit the java source and deploy a new .jar file. After I signed the new jar and ran the demo form I saw the following error in the java console.
Forms Applet version is : 10.1.2.0
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.io.IOException: open HTTP connection
failed.
Oracle support confirmed that they had the same problem under Windows XP but the PJC worked fine under Windows 2000.
Has anybody used this PJC successfully on windows XP? Or can anybody tell me what I need to do to fix it for XP?
As a secondary question - why do I see the class not found exception after compiling the source into a .jar?
thanks

While I never used linux, I highly doubt this. A 99.99999999573% doubt, to be exact.
you can't run a windows application on a mac or on old versions of windows - it's quite simply a completely different system. Plus, I'm not even sure linux has EXE files.
I think you can use a windows emulator to run these files, but I doubt this will work well if you have hardware, and will probably even be slower than windows(due to the emulation).
All that said, you should be able write VIs in LV windows and then open them in LV linux and build the application, assuming they don't have windows dependant code. Also, what do you mean by real-time? If you're doing real real-time-absolutly-can't-fail stuff, a PC won't be the right thiing anyway. If a machine has window without a lot of junk in it, it's stable. We have used this kind of setup with windows XP and it is stable. I think your real question should be "has anyone done benchmarks on my kind of LV applications in windows vs. linux". Hope this helps.
Try to take over the world!

FAQ: Fix for Problem Printing PostScript "to file" Under Windows 2000

PROBLEM
A number of Acrobat users under Windows 2000 have reported a problem in which printing via the PostScript driver fails when printing "to file" instead of to a standard printer port (such an LPT, USB, TCP/IP port, or even Acrobat's internal port). Printing "to file" refers to the ability to check an option in programs such as FrameMaker or Microsoft Word that causes the PostScript that would have gone to a "real" printer port, to go to a specified file name, prompted for by the driver or application itself. The symptom of the failure may be either (1) no file produced and/or (2) a nondescript error message about "unable to print."
Although we have not yet heard of this problem occurring under Windows XP, we have no reason to believe it couldn't given the extreme similarity in architecture and software components. If you are seeing this with Windows XP, please advise me of this via email and simply substitute "Windows XP" for "Windows 2000" for your purposes in this posting.
CAUSE
The problem is caused by a missing printing port named "FILE:" used by the driver whenever it, guess what, prints "to file." This port is automatically created when Windows 2000 is installed and normally would never disappear. What seems to be happening, based upon reports that I have received from several end users, is that under some conditions yet unidentified, uninstalling one version of Acrobat in preparation for installation of another (newer) version of Acrobat causes the "FILE:" port to be deleted from the system. This printing port deletion does not appear to be caused by any end-user error.
Adobe's Acrobat Quality Assurance group has been alerted to the problem, but to date has been unable to internally reproduce the problem. We would appreciate any information from any user who encounters this problem in terms of exactly how the Acrobat Distiller printer instance was being used prior to an uninstall of Acrobat (for example, were you printing a FrameMaker book "to file" with the
Acrobat Distiller printer instance for purposes of subsequently distilling the whole book manually?)
FIX
Fortunately, it is very easy to add the "FILE:" port back into the operating system:
(1) Logon to Windows 2000 as a user with Administrator privileges.
(2) Go to Start=>Settings=>Printers.
(3) Select File=>Server Properties.
(4) Click the "Ports" tab.
(5) Click "Add Port".
(6) Select "Local Port" and click "New Port".
(7) In response to "Enter a port name:" respond "FILE:" (without the surrounding quote marks, of course) and click OK.
(8) The "FILE:" port should now be in the list of available ports. You may close the remaining dialogs.
At this point, printing "to file" should work correctly. Most likely, you will not see the problem reoccur unless you do another round of uninstalls of Acrobat.

You need to download and install the ADPDF9.PPD printer description and use it instead of Device Independent.

(7) In response to "Enter a port name:" respond "FILE:" (without the surrounding quote marks, of course) and click OK.
(8) The "FILE:" port should now be in the list of available ports. You may close the remaining dialogs.
At this point, printing "to file" should work correctly. Most likely, you will not see the problem reoccur unless you do another round of uninstalls of Acrobat.

Premiere Elements 8 under Windows 7: HOW TO DO?

My system is a MICROSTAR (MEDION) Quadcore 6600(think it's made by MSI) with 4GB memory, 2 x 1TB HD Wetern Digital GREEN (replacing the very poor quality Seagates 2 x 500Gig originaly installed) and running Windows 7 64 and 32 Ultimate. The 32 version was installed especially for PE8
Why I didn't stay with PE7?
Strange enough, PE7 worked perfectly under Windows 7 64bit RC and RTM, but with the Official release of Windows 7 32 or 64 Ultimate, it was finished with the Happy Hour, Crash, crash, crash all the time!
So I downloaded from Adobe a official PE8 and started very happily with it.
But it was CRASH & GO all the way !!!
I have send a few messages to Adobe Contact, which deviated me to this forum so I could spit my poison far from their "Ivory Tower" No answers or help from them. PE8 is paid, so go to ...
I found out immediately that I was one of the many people to regret this "Buy of the Year", but since PE7 didn't work and Windows 7 is so good that I don't want to go back to XP or Vista, I had to find a way to make this SH.. work. Luckily the Forum proposed me a few solutions for which I am very grateful.
After a few editing's with DV (about 3hours long), I am having a little bit more experience with this PE8-pre-beta-thing.
First of all I disabled the GPU-thing in the preferences, then I disabled the "Background rendering".
The Medion computer has a "diet" Nvidia Geforce 8600 so there are no 3D drivers to disable, neither has Windows 7 this Windows Defender, so that could also not be the problem.
Anyhow, these few minor changes seem to have solved a lot of crash problems.
Also, NEVER open a PE7 project in PE8 !!!!! It's really not 100% compatible: no way to render previews and crashes guarantied!
Be very careful in applying transitions and video effects, especially if you start cumulating them. Maybe they will work in preview, but you never know if you will be able to render a film or DVD from it.
For example "camera view" + "Soft edge" ( since I have a Dutch version, I don't know if these are the right names) to make a kind of 3D frame around your image. No problem in PE7, but PE8 doesn't digest it! The only way to render this to a film is to import the project in to PrProCS4 and change the other transitions which are not supported by PrPro with similar ones. Or going from New York to Chicago over Mexico City!!
If you take care of these precautions you can work very satisfactory with PE8, without crashing more then was the case with PE7 (low memory problems)
This PE8 should have been written for 64 bit, so it would have suffered much less memory problems, then now.
Some things I like better with PE8, like the ClipArt's, the Menu's and the new Smartmovie themes, which I create and then edit manually.
Automatic backup creates now 5 instead of one file.
What I don't like:
If you capture in scenes, it's still scene 11 coming after scene 109 etc, instead of counting from 001.
With PE7, you could see in which map the project you wanted to open was situated, here not.
Place of the Project changed, without reason, change for the fun of change?
Making "markers" has become more complicated, without improving. Also changed just for the fun of it?
Can still not capture HDV by scenes, for that I have to use Sony Vegas.
Until now I didn't try to edit HDV in PE8, because I don't trust PE8.
What we really need is for Adobe to bring a major update to fix al these annoying misfits and to make a customer's dialog instead of a one way street policy.
If I find new ways to make work easier and without crashing I will not hesitate to let you know.
Until then, hope this can help you a little bit!

NO, YOU CANNOT !!!!
If your project was started in PE7 and you import that project to PE8, you cannot, I REPEAT, you CANNOT render this files to a preview.
You wil get the render window, but no counter or anything else will move or happen.
Nothing, rien , nada, niets, nichts!!!!!!
At least not here on neither of the 3 installations which I did under 3 different Windows 7 !!!!

Running DS-5 armcc compiled code (PIC) under Windows EC 2013

Hi All,
i just wanted to know if it is generally (officially) supported to run code that is compiled via the armcc (5.03) from DS-5 under Windows Embedded Compact 2013. Or if this is discouraged (reasons?).
The problem i have:
The bootloader contains some code that must be run during Windows EC Startup. So this code is loaded from the Flash, copied to RAM (reserved and commited via VirtualAlloc and marked as executable) and then the functions are called via FunctionPointers.
The code is compiled and linked as position independent and the stack base register is set accordingly before any function is called via pointer and reset when it returns.
This works in about 9 out of 10 tests without problems. But sometimes i get all sort of exceptions (Data Abort, Prefetch Abort, Unknown Instruction, ...). Most (if not all) of the time they occur when the position independent code runs on one of the two
cores.
The code runs on an i.MX6DQ (dual).
If i only enable one core, i can't reproduce the problem (i assume that multicore-handling and multithreading in WinEC 2013 Update 10 is really well tested and works without problems, so this can't be the real reason).
I've thoroughly checked and debugged the code, i'm really sure there is no illegal access or other problem with the code itself.
Could it be a problem to call code compiled via DS-5 armcc? I've compared assembler code that Visual Studio/Platform Builder generates with code that DS-5 generates (but i'm no assembler expert). I can't see any obvious special code that is added by Visual
Studio/Platform Builder (i.e. that functions need) that is not there in the DS-5 code.
Best Regards
Sebastian

So I think you could be able to image some code for ROM from another compiler and without knowledge of Windows CE. However, if the code will be called from Windows CE, this becomes more difficult requiring very careful isolation from the
MMU state, processor state, kernel/user mode, etc. Code that works great when called from the bootloader might not work at all from Windows CE itself. The main problem with mixing code from different compilers is the object file format and conventions for
entry and public names. Very unlikely that you'd be able to "link" code from any other compiler with PB-compiled code.
You might think about the x86 image which can easily call BIOS from the bootloader but which can't even begin to call BIOS from CE itself. The problem isn't the compiler (which is different), but the operating environment differences and assumptions.
