Forte hangs for several minutes

We are talking 5 minutes where my CPU is pegged at 100%.
It happens fairly often.
Today, "runide" has consumed about *45* minutes of CPU time.
This happened before, and I cleaned up some of the files it had created, and the problem seemed to go away.
However, it is back, and I can't seem to make it go away again. :-(
Environment:
Intel P3 1.2GHz, 1 Gig RAM
Windows 2000 Professional (Build 2195; SP2)
Hooking into BEA WebLogic 6.1 (w/ JDK 1.3.1)
Forte for Java 4, Community Edition (Build 020624)
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
n8

Thanks for the reply - that was an interesting link, especially the info about Linux. :-)
Unfortunately, I don't think any of that will help me. I have plenty of memory (1 Gig) and I don't think the issue is garbage collection, 'cause I reboot the machine every few days. Furthermore, when it got really bad the first time, I rebooted the machine, and the problem appeared immediately after I started everything back up. :-(
I believe there is something inherent about Forte that causes itself to slow down after continued usage.
Maybe creating and destroying breakpoints is related to the problem? That is something that increases over time, and I can't seem to find where these settings are stored.
Does anybody know where the breakpoints are stored?
Thanks,
Nate

  • Why does my OS X 10.6.8 have various applications hang for several minutes, then resume. This is not a startup problem.

    I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.8 a few weeks ago. It seemed to be running OK, so we upgraded another system also. Now both machine are, from time to time, stalling whatever application is running. Everything stops or runs veeeeeeerrrrrry slowly for several minutes even including bringing other windows to the front. The disk runs almost like it is swapping a lot. Then the system frees up and runs normally for a while. This is not a startup problem. I occurrs on systems that have been running for a day or two or more. It happens on an iMac and on a MacBookPro. Neither of them had this behavior before the 10.6.8 upgrade.

    What do you mean with corrupt?
    Why did you suggest that I created a new profile?
    There are cache files and other system files that are created every time a user account is created.  Sometimes these are corrupted in the OS and it really has no bearing on the specific application but it can lead to erratic behavior.  Creating a new user recreates all these system files and thus it's almost like starting fresh.  It's one step shy of re-installation of an OS.  So because changing the user fixed the issue, then we have eliminated the fact that the application is causing the error and we know the OS is causing the error.
    I can't just go in to that profile when I want to use?
    I wouldn't recommend it.  This can lead to more problems with the OS down the road with other applications and depending on where the corruption lies it can lead to issues with OS upgrades or even installing new software.  The files that are typically most critical to users are stored in the Applications folder or the Documents/Sites/Pictures folders.  You can easily drag them over to a new user account.  If you have email being backed up for a product like Thunderbird you can also bring over many of the Library items as well.

    Today, I was able to open the older version of the template if I only viewed the code first.  So I was able to narrow it down to one change I had made.  I had changed:
    <link href="/css/960grid.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    to:
    <link href="http://mydomain.com/css/960grid.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    When I tried to save the document, Dreamweaver hanged.  The document opened fine with all of the other changes I had made, although it couldn't find the CSS files (I had moved the site to another root locally).
    This really looks like a bug in Dreamweaver to me.  I've seen CSS links like this in other people's websites, so it does look like valid CSS to me.  Is there a workaround for this?

    I have been having lots of problems with my iPad 2 freezing since I downloaded the IOS7.  It freezes for several minutes each time this happens.  Is there something you can suggest that I do to eliminate this problem in the future?

    First thing to try is a reset: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

    Please do not duplicate a thread. The threads are answered as soon as possible. We are not Adobe. Just user to user.
    I have answered your most recent of the duplicates
    Premier Elements 13 Organizer Works. Editor doesn't. Log in doesn't work
    It is uncertain just how far we can go to help you since you do not appear to have Premiere Elements any
    longer.Seems you demanded a refund from Adobe Chat, got it, and now are left with a non purchased program which I
    am not sure can be used.
    Duplicates tend to confuse the person asking the question as well as those attempting to reply. As I suggested in the
    above mentioned thread, try to sort out your situation with Adobe via its Adobe Chat.

  • Spinning wheel stays on for several minutes at a time, can't connect to app store

    Hi I have an imac, about two years old. It has recently started freezing constantly, can't connect to the app store and the rainbow spinning wheel stays up for several minutes at a time regardless of what apps are open or what I'm trying to do. Safari will work for a minute or two then will say it can't connect, I then have to quit the app then open it back up to have it fail again shortly after. I've cleared out my cache, started it in safe mode, done the disk repair through disk utility, done virus scans and nothing has helped. It started doing it suddenly - fine one day then not the next -  but I haven't put any new apps on or made any changes I can think of that might be the cause. Can anyone help?

    One possibility is that your hard drive is failing. If you don't have backups of any data you don't want to lose, that needs to be your number one priority. Get that data backed up. Once you have done that, you can start exploring options.
    Open Disk Utility, select your hard drive and take a look at the SMART status:
    If it says anything other than Verified, the drive is definitely failing. If it says Verified, all that means is that it isn't failing in a way that the drive can detect.

  • CS4 randomly hangs for many minutes at a time

    I've been doing a number of editing jobs on CS4 for a while now. Started out on a mac but happened to have a pretty decent Windows 7 system on hand so I decided to use that. Here are the specs:
    Windows 7 (64-bit)
    Intel quad-core i7
    6 GB RAM
    CS4 installed on 1TB C drive
    Project files and scratch disk on striped volume consisting of 3 500GB SATA drives
    This setup was performing spendidly on the first few projects I did, but seems to be bogging down as I work on more projects, even though the available disk space doesn't seemed to have changed much. It seems to bog down more on large projects.
    What I'm noticing is that as I browse source files and try to set in/out points etc., CS4 will play for a little while and then hang for many minutes at a stretch. It will eventually come back and be usable for a short while but then hang again.
    The strange thing is that when it is hung, the system resource monitor shows that the CS4 process is not responding, but it shows very low CPU usage on all cores and no surge in memory usage. Disk I/O also remains relatively low, leaving me at a loss to explain the hangs. I experienced something very similar on CS4 for mac when dealing with these same projects.
    The projects have a lot of DV footage split into 2.6GB chunks that I am concatenating together. They also have some HD MJPEG AVIs that I captured using a Black Magic Intensity Pro card.
    I should also add that when I finally do get the projects finished and start rendering them, the rendering is very fast overall, which confirms my theory that my machine's performance is more than adequate and these hangs are due to bugs and I/O bottlenecks in CS4 itself.
    Needless to say, this is very frustrating. I have less of a problem if a program needs to do something and explains to me why I need to wait while it does it, but I don't like my programs to go away for hours without telling me where they're going.
    Adobe people, if you're listening, please respond to this. I have seen a number of other complaints about similar issues. At least let us know if you're aware of these issues and what you are doing about it.
    Thanks,
    Carl

    Well, any progress is good, eh? For MJPEG's, most of us will recommend either the MainConcept, or the Morgan. I wonder how the BM MJPEG CODE's would work, without the card - just thinking there? BTW - more users like the MainConcept by a few.
    As far as Adobe goes, if they are going to put up a forum, in my opinion, they should be actively monitoring it and responding to issues. Otherwise it becomes more of a liability than an asset and merely serves to call attention to their own obliviousness.
    You make a good point, but I feel that Adobe sees these as an asset in that the best T/S work is done by other users. I always suggest that anyone having any issue with an Adobe product, stop by the fora first. Most never need to go any farther. For tons of free T/S, Adobe pays for the servers and the administration of the fora.
    Still, and this is between just you and me, I'd love to hear that there are some "monitors," who do read. As I mentioned, this forum is blessed to have the few Adobe employees, that we do. Photoshop has Chris Cox, one of the developers of PS. Even in his role, however, I believe that he only offers solutions and explanations, and does not "take notes." One exception was when he was compiling a list of "problem fonts" for PS, and asked for contributions with full details on what problems they caused.
    When a new upgrade, or an update is issued, we do see more Adobe representation here. It usually starts with a post that something is coming out, and as many details, as are possible to divulge, are given. As we draw closer to the release date, more details are often forthcoming. This presence usually stays until after the release, and we get to comment from the trenches, how the update/upgrade works. Then, I know that notes are being taken. After a bit, that presence fades (as far as we can tell, but who knows?). Sometimes I wonder about those shadows on the wall in the Video Lounge... oh wait, those are just grease stains from the yoodles.
    Good luck on your Project, and please keep us updated. My brain just keeps coming back to the MJPEG's, but they probably are not part of the issue.

  • Getting increasingly frequent system shutdown with appearance of the apple splash screen for several minutes then back to logon in the middle of using a variety of APPs or just walking on Safari.

    Using an IPAD 2 running 5.0.1 is frequently shutting down in the middle of a variety of Apps and showing the Apple splash screen for several minutes. This happens occasionally at inopportune times. Once the splash screen clears it goes back to the logon screen and the App that was open is closed. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a resolution?

    RockHunter wrote:

    I don't think that there is ever a good time for this to occur.
    What do you mean the Apple splash screen? You see the Apple logo on the screen?
    It appears as though your apps are crashing. Have you tried quitting apps and restarting? Reset the iPad?
    Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • My laptop locked after I don't use it for several minutes.

    Hi everyone,
    I have a really troublesome problem.
    My laptop is locked after I don't use it for several minutes.
    When I say locked, I mean it turns to where shows my account name and below it says locked.
    At first, I think it is cause by the Auto-lock .cuz I am really annoyed by it, I uninstalled it.
    However it still does not work.
    Could anyone tell me what the problem is on earth?
    Perhaps it is just because I am really not familiar with my new laptop.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That's a power setting that determines how long before it enters the screen saver, sleep more, or even hibernation mode. You can change either the requirement of a password (somewhere in the screen saver section of Windows) or the duration before it enters those modes (you should be able to set that with the Lenovo Power Center thing). Of course, doing either is a security risk, but that's up to you as to how much security or comfort you want.

  • Why does every change I make to my iTunes library completely freeze my computer for several minutes??

    I am running a clean up program on my computer (Tuneup Media).  Everything runs smooth until I try to apply the changes.  After the songs with new tags save to library Itunes runs 100% of CPU and freezes for several minutes.  After several minutes, it goes back to normal and I fix more song tags and it all starts over again...  Is there something I can disable to prevent this?  HELP!!!

    I am experiencing similar freeze with each change to the iTunes library (example: Song's Tag Info).

  • After Thunderbird opens, it is unresponsive. can't open an email for several minutes, etc. Will someone please get in touch - online advice is beyond me.

    I am using Windows 7 on a desktop pc.
    I can download email just fine. But then I can't open or delete a message or do anything else for several minutes. Meanwhile, I see at the top of my screen that Thunderbird is not responding. This happens whether I am connected to the internet or disconnected.
    I sometimes get a message that a script on this page is busy or not responding. The scrips have been
    "Script:chrome://messenger/content/mailWindow.js:179" and "Script:chrome....js:173" and "Script:resource"//gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:323"
    I have also gotten messages that say the problem signature is AppHangB1, followed by a long list of detailed data.

    I did make a video showing the problem.
    Also strange is the fact that in some tabs there isn't (aparently) the problem in Safari.
    Any other ideas?
