FrameMaker 7 vs Windows 7 and Windows Vista

We have several computers with either Windows 7 or Windows Vista. On these we have Frame version 7 (latest patch). I have heard that Frame 7 is not compatible with these 2 operating systems. Is that true?
We all have the same problem:
If we, with our mice, try to mark text in a flow or cells in a table, and have the left button pressed too long (more than a couple of seconds), FM freezes. The only way to get out of this is to crash it and loose everything since the last save.
Will this problem go away if we upgrade to version 9? Has anybody else experienced the same, upgraded and now FM behaves properly?
Lena, Sweden

Lena,
we are currently running FrameMaker 7.2 on Windows 7, and we too are experiencing 'Not Responing' hanging issues that we have to then end FrameMaker and lose the unsaved information.
I initially thought it was network related but eliminated this when i looked at files on a local hard disk.
I can now produce the error by selecting a large section of a framemaker document and trying to copy it (we have a lot of referenced illustrations which are EPS files stored on the network and these seem to assist in causing the program to hang.)
I found reference on a site about the Desktop Windows Manager, and decided to do a test. I have forced my computer in to a Hang situation and then looked at ending the dwm.exe process in task manager. As soon as i do this, the screen flashes, and i now have a responding framemaker program. I have done it a few times and it seems to correct it each time.
DWM is linked into the Aero interface. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_Window_Manager, so it looks like the way to get framemaker 7 working is to turn off/disable the DWM service,
Under Control Panel -> System and Security -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> Desktop Window Manager Session Manager -> Disabled
I would recommend testing this by causing Framemaker to stop responding and then use Task Manager to end DWM.exe. If this works the long term solution would be to disable the DWM Service. I am going to do this and see how i get on.
Hope this information is of some use.

normal jsp programming we can use window opener
javascipt function to do above.
same thing how to us in weblogic workshop?
any can help?
thanks,
jp reddy

Hi,
assuming action.do is the action method of ....../folder1/abc.jpf you can try out this in the test1.jsp,
function openNameHistory(url) {
var args = "<%= request.getContextPath() %>/folder1/"+url;
window.showModalDialog(args,'','dialogHeight:320px;dialogWidth:600px;scroll:yes;status:no');
<netui:anchor href="javascript:openNameHistory('action.do')">Name History</netui:anchor>
u need not specify the abc.jpf in the url because , workshop allows only one jpf per folder
hope this helps...

ACS 3.2 for Windows and Windows Active Directory.

I'm using a member W2K server to run ACS 3.2.
I'm using ACS and Windows group mapping but my users always go into default group.
Why?
Thanks.
Andrea.

I'm assuming your ACS \DEFAULT domain has NT Groups mapped to . Use a new Domain Configuration to add your AD and group mappings.
The group name in ACS must match exactly the same group in AD. ie. If your AD group name is "Engineering" , create a ACS group with exactly the same spelling. Also,avoid certain characters such as @#%&*() in the naming of groups, both in AD and ACS.
Hope this helps. let us know.

Framemaker 7.2 and Windows XP SP3

For any Framemaker 7.2 users out there who does not already know, Framemaker 7.2 will not work with Windows XP SP3.
A security file in Win XP SP3 causes problems with OLE graphics imported into FM. The problem will only rear its head when you try to save the document and the following error box appears:
"An Internal error occurred while writing imported graphics in this document. The file has been saved, but has lost some image data. Please report this fault to Adobe Technical Support."
Why only OLE imports are affect is beyond my skills as I would expect this problem with referenced imports. Adobe are not aware of this concern and have no fix. There are a couple of fixes, but neither are ideal.
1. Remove all OLE files and import them as referenced files, then save.
2. Roll back Windows XP to SP2. (This is what I had to do as I have a vast quantity of documents with OLE files.)
If anybody has further info please feel free to discuss.

Andy,
It's just OLE, not FM7.2, that is the problem with the SP3 fix. This
has been reported in the Forums numerous times. Using OLE with FM has
consistently been a "not recommended" feature and Adobe is aware of
the issue.
As you point out, the only two fixes known, to date, are either import
by reference or rollback to SP2.

My Biggest Concern with all Windows and Windows 8.1 - NSA malware attacks!

My Biggest Question with Windows.
With all the NSA infecting malwares to all computers around the globe.
Does Windows 8.1 have any form of protection with NSA Hacking incidents!
Because I find that the Windows Integrated firewall is not up to par to protecting my computer from these attacks!
Microsoft must perk up their security in their products!
http://www.zdnet.com/nsa-malware-infected-over-50000-computer-networks-worldwide-7000023537/
How are we going to put any trust when a product is infected by NSA malwares!
See Video:-

Windows 8.1 comes with Anti-Malware protection (Windows Defender) and will protect you against malwares.

Compatibility issues with AppleWorks 6.2.2 for Windows and Windows XP?

For several years I have used AppleWorks for Windows version 6.2.2 with Windows 98. This summer my school upgraded me from W-98 to W-XP.
On the new machine, I have found that text boxes in draw documents are locked and I cannot edit or move them or unlock them. I find that I have the same issue with an XP computer at home, but I can copy the same file to a W98 machine and everything works as it always did.
Apple says that AppleWorks 6.2.2. is compatible with XP, but I wonder if that is completely correct.
Does anyone have any insight?
Thanks

I was trying to test this for you in AppleWorks 6 Windows XP in Parallels on my MacBook Pro, but each time I tried to open a draw file I had originally create on my Mac, AppleWorks 6 for Windows crashed.
I tried another, smaller draw document & it opens without problems & I can move the objects around. I'd suggest deleting the AppleWorks preferences, but I don't know where they are in Windows XP.

Mac and Windows Vista

Hi
I have a mac mini with OSX 10.4.8.
I am looking forward to buy a laptop with windows vista.
The reason why I am interested in buying a windows based laptop is because my work environment is windows and windows based laptops are cheaper.
Could you enlighten me about compatiblity of these two OS in the form of file sharing, syncronisation, communication via blue tooth, wireless and network between them. Is there any specific features I should look for in the hardware.
Thanks
C. Badrakumar

Try reading this for file sharing.
http://chris.pirillo.com/2007/03/07/file-sharing-from-windows-vista-to-os-x/
I know alot of people are having problems with getting Vista nd OS X to work, XP had relatively few problems. Hopefully Leopard fixes this.

Boot camp, MAC pro and windows XP

Hi,
I am leading a programmers team, what we want is the faster machines to improve performance. Currently investigating an HP machine with windows XP 64 on it. But that doesn't work for us as most of hour programming tools do not work under XP 64. We cannot install 32 bit Windows because of the 2 Quad cores in the machines (according to IT).
Solution could be MAC pro, same specs (2 quad cores and 4 GB internal memory ) but with Boot Camp I can install XP 32. Or am I wrong? Or will MAC pro with XP 32 do not give an performance increase we can expect with 8 core?
Robert

Hi Robert,
for the IT guys: XP Prfessional does support up to 2 processors with multiple cores each.
XP Home does only support one processor with multiple cores.
The main problem with Mac Pro and 32-bit Windows XP or Vista (and possibly with the HP machine, too) is, that because the expansion slots are reserving quite some parts of RAM for their own Range of Adresses (even if no expansion card is in them) from the 4GB of RAM you will only get about 2GB for XP Pro 32-bit to see and use.
Only chance to use the full amount of RAM is 64-bit Windows and then Vista is the one to use, because Apple does not provide any drivers for XP-64 bit.

If you don't want Boot Camp and you don't want a virtual machine, go buy a Windows computer.
Both Boot Camped Windows and Windows running in a virtual machine work well. Your issues are because of your lack of knowledge or understanding, not because Boot Camp and virtual machines are poor products. Universities, large and small businesses, home users, etc. use virtual machines to run their operating systems.
Your statements about Boot Camp and Parallels are not the experience of thousands of users.
Either find someone who is knowledgeable about running Windows on Apple computers to help you or buy a Windows computer. Believe me, if you find a way to install only Windows on your Apple computer without using Boot Camp or a virtual machine you will have more problems than what you have already experienced.

Zen Vision M 30Gb and Windows 7

Hi. I have problem with my player. I installed windows 7 and zen media organizer 5. Windows and windows media player 2 detect player. If I want transfer music to my player by creative organizer, organizer writing ,,No Creative MP3 player is detected. Please connect your Mp3 player and try again". But really player is connect and i can use windows explorer to open music folder inside player.A player works as hard disk without problem. Do you know, how this problem solve? Thank you.

I know this thread is old, but I'm having this same issue. WMP2 will find it fine on my Windows 7 64-bit. When trying to use ZENCast Organizer, it will not connect. On top of that, none of the settings I set in ZENCast organizer related to the Zen Vision:M will stay set. Something to do with the use of ProgramData folder in Win 7?

New hard drive and Windows 7 issues

I bought a new 1 Tetra Samsung hard drive for my computer since 150GB was not enough. I did this because I need windows partitioned for school. After I installed the hard drive and inserted the Mac OS disk, it would not recognize the hard drive to install. Since then, I have read previous forums such as: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3322843?start=0&tstart=0
Now, the issue is: I went ahead and installed my Windows XP SP2 because I could not get Mac OS to install. I have also downloaded the Windows 7 Professional update from Microsoft and have a Operating Disk on its way in the mail. I am having some issues with sound and camera and probably others that I don't know about yet, like my graphics card and such. What should I do?
1. Erase HD and install the Mac OS, because I do want this on my computer. Then download updates for Windows 7 bootcamp and reinstall Windows 7 when I get it in the mail.
or,
2. Is there a way to fix the driver issues that I am having without having to reinstall windows. I have not tried to partition yet and install mac.
I think it would be best to:
Install Mac OS
Download updates
Bootcamp and Install Windows 7
What do you think and do you have any advice as how I should go about this. Oh, btw, living in a PC world and coming home to my Macbook Pro 3,1 and realizing that it is not as functional is kinda disappointing.
So, I found this site for the sound: http://www.stuffedcow.net/macbook_audio
And: http://www.cirrus.com/en/products/cs4207.html
I am not sure how to go about installing a new driver. Do I download and save or do I run a certain .exe?
I found this post and was reading, but I am not certain about the right driver for the sound. If I erase the hard drive and install mac. Then, bootcamp and install windows, will I loose my wifi driver? Windows 7 should have that update, but according to this post, it may not.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2534313

If I were in your shoes I would want to understand why I couldn't install OSX on the internal drive before going any further. Without getting past that hurdle you may or may not be successful in your aims, but you are outside mainstream intended ways of running Bootcamp.
Just a couple of starters:-
1. Is your internal hard drive (samsung) formatted with a GUID partition table and HFS+ file system? All done in Disk Utility, booted from the Install disk.
2. The Apple Install disk (plus subsequent Apple Software Updates) has all the drivers Bootcamp needs, without having to find and download from elsewhere. I run Windows 7 64 bit on two Macs and have never had to go and find a driver. (Of course Windows does it automatically for me for other hardware). Sorry if this next point is insultingly obvious, but just to check that you know you can put the Apple Install Disk in while running Windows and Windows find the installer.
You don't say anything what your MBP is or what version of OSX you are running. I am not fully up to date with the inplications of Lion and Bootcamp drivers as there is no install disk. I believe 2011 MBPs won't run XP.
Your comment "Oh, btw, living in a PC world and coming home to my Macbook Pro 3,1 and realizing that it is not as functional is kinda disappointing" implies that you haven't had a Mac very long. Although Macs are easy to pick up and use, there is a LOT to learn about customisation and using it properly and getting the most out of them. I have a number of relatives who still use OSX "out of the box"....it's like driving a car in first gear, and complaining "this car doesn't go very fast". Not a perfect analogy as speed is not the issue here.
Sorry if some of this post is missing the target...just take on board the bits that apply.

I already partitioned my hdd via Bootcamp, supports downloaded, and windows is on an external USB. How can I start installing Windows now? at startup it doesnt show up as bootable device...

hi,
I am having a problem installing windows via bootcamp.
I already partitioned my hdd via Bootcamp, downloaded and copied all the supports for windows, and windows is on an external USB as well. I had to stop the process the other day, so i shut down the computer. Now I am trying to boot from the USB, but I cant get to that point where the computer should restart and windows would start installing.
. After restarting, holding command, it doesnt show up as bootable device.
How shall I move forward? My disk is already partitioned, and if i start the whole process from the beginning, it wants me to partition again - although I already made a 100GB partition for windows.
Please help me out.
best,
Zoltan

So, here is what happened when I tried to make it.(sorry for quality, i had to take them by phone)
At first when I opened it I saw that I could simply resolve it just by stretching the arrow at the bottom, giving the 100 GB back which I partitioned before via Bootcamp. At this point options was not available.
I didnt do it because you mentioned earlier that it might be not designed to install windows.
The second thing I tried I choose 1 Partition from Partition Layout. This time Options were available but I didnt see anything like GPT, the onces that are optionable are on the screenshot.
What do you think how shall I move on? I was thinking to give it a shot with option 1, just stretch it back and try everything from scratch.

Has anyone tried home sharing between mac and windows using parallels on the same machine?

I recently purchased a mac, and plan to set up parallels for windows and windows 7 so that I can use the Windows version of Over Drive Media Console from the library and download WMA files in windows (limitation with mac version for wma downloads). I would like to synch to iTunes on the Mac iOS, but will need iTunes available in Windows to transfer the books I download in WMA format from the library to my iphone. Has anyone tried this? Any success or suggestions would be appreciated!

In case anyone is interested, last night I installed Paralells, Windows, Overdrive Media Console on Windows, and then was able to download my book in WMA format. I was hoping parallels would allow me to crossover sync to iTunes on the Mac and have Overdrive recognize that I had iTunes open, but I had to choose Windows or Mac when connecting my phone through the USB and had to choose Windows in order for it to successfully transfer. I was able to get it to work it is now synced to iTunes in Windows. The nice thing was that it pulled in all my music/apps that I had set up in the Mac side, so I didn't have to go through that exercise again. I tested it on my old phone. Now I need to decide if I want to set up my current phone on Windows or Mac, it seems that once synched it only opens the device in windows, I haven't figured out how to force the choice between mac or window again. If I do windows, I can't take advantage of the cloud or iphoto/imovie directly. I'm totally new to mac, but I think I'll have to import my photos manually.

Widget, and Windows Trackpad question.

Widget, Can I assess widget without having to going in dashboard? Like I can run widget standalone? How to install new widgets?
TrackPad.
Does the trackpad, double tap works in windows xp? Or the only way to click is by clicking the buttoN? Does the right click works when you put two finger tap?

You know, there just may have to be some policy changes around here. There are a lot of us who are 1) new to mac, and 2) using windows and windows programs legitimately on an intel mac, specifically, the macbook. We have questions about using these programs on our macs, and I think it's understandable that we want to discuss them.
I really like mac OS, and everything about the macbook. It's the best computer I have ever had. But why do so many people here feel they have to be so hardline about microsoft and any microsoft product? Don't be a microsoft hater! When people ask on this forum about using other 3rd party software -- adobe, WoW, etc.,-- on their macbooks, no one tells them this forum isn't for that!

Media Foundation Source or H264 / AC3 differences between Windows and Phone 8?

I've got a working Matroska (MKV) Media Foundation Source for a Windows Store app (PC x86). It will play several different matroska files that contain H264 encoded video and AC3-encoded audio. It even has seek support. I've written the app
as a HTML/typescript Universal app with the MF Source as a C++ dll.
The problem is that the same code will not work on Windows Phone 8. I can play videos that don't require the external MF Source (i.e. MP4 files and AVI files) just fine on both platforms through my app, but the same MKV videos that played on an x86
PC will not play on Windows Phone 8 (Lumia 920).
I looked at the specs for the Snapdragon processor and it should be able to support both H264 at 720p resolution and AC3 (2-channel only). So I don't know what else I need to do to get this to work on WP8. The audio I'm trying to play is actually
6-channel, so that made me wonder if it was failing because WP8 supports 2-channel max, but I would have thought the audio just wouldn't work and the video would play normally.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
*edit* - just to be more specific, I can parse the file and create the presentation descriptor without errors. But when I finish opening the file and call the event for that, nothing else happens. What is weird is that the javascript video player
never throws the "canplay" event, nor does it throw the "error" event.
Lee McPherson

Thanks, not a bad suggestion to try.
On my Windows machine, I tried to get the MediaEncodingProfile via the createFromFileAsyc method. With a known file type, it outputs all properties of the video and audio streams (bitrate, etc). With an MKV file (container file with H264 video
and AC3 audio), I only get the type and subtype properties. Everything else is zero or null. This is because in my MFSource, I only set the type and subtype. This still allows the video to play on my windows machine. I assume the
built-in MFTransform for H264 video-to-uncompressed video parses the stream to get the relevant information. Likewise for audio.
On Windows Phone, when querying the file's MediaEncodingProfile, I get the same result. This is telling me that my MFSource will parse the file properly and set the subtypes for video and audio correctly. Everything else is still null or zero.
However, the file does not play. There is no returned event to the video element that it even *can* play.
Perhaps, I need to fill in the video and audio stream properties on the Windows Phone version. I really don't want to because that would mean having to parse some of the underlying video and audio streams themselves, not just parsing the container
information. (More work!) But this is what I mean when I ask about the differences between Windows and Windows Phone... perhaps the WP8.1 & Windows MFTransforms are different?
*EDIT* - I do get a JavaScript Console error that I didn't notice before: AUDIO/VIDEO: unknown MIME type. (VS error code: MEDIA12899)
