  • How to move new Windows 8 file swapfile.sys to another drive?

    Windows 8 has a new swapping / paging file called swapfile.sys. It resides in %SystemDrive% directory, or C:\ for most users. It looks to be a swap file for Modern UI / Metro apps (source: https://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2012/10/28/windows-8-windows-server-2012-the-new-swap-file.aspx?Redirected=true).
    I wanted to ask how this can be moved to other drives, the same way pagefile.sys etc can be.
    After having just installed Windows 8, I am going through the process of moving files that get a lot of writes, like pagefile.sys and hiberfill.sys, to other mechanical drvies, instead of being on my SSD with it’s limited write life. There seems to be no method
    of doing this for swapfile.sys.
    After a search, only this tread turned up (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_cp-performance/to-move-swapfilesys-to-another-drive/bd1d5424-e410-4742-9668-e5060a021d40?tm=1356272384010), for the same question but it as never answered. All
    that was explained, was how to disable both pagefile.sys and swapfile.sys. Also how to move pagefile.sys. The question about moving swapfile.sys was never answered. Hence why I am asking again. There also seems to be no registry settings for this file, that
    I could find to change, to accomplish pointing it's location elsewhere.
    Am not interested into getting into a debate about whether it is worth while moving files off SSD's to save on writes.
    So if someone, ideally from Microsoft, can explain how to do, with this new swap file, what had been possible with the existing page file, for a good few Windows versions it would be much appreciated. Or how it can be disabled, without disabling the normal
    pagefile setup, as I don't use and don't intend Modern UI apps.

    I also think this could not be moved and I could not find any document about moving it, either.
    Thanks.

  • How to move existing windows service to cloud?

    Hello team,
    We have one windows service.
    We call it as Monitor Service. This service is running at customer premise and continuously monitor the door controllers fixed at client location. it also update the database in case of any update observed at door control panel. My question is, This Window
    Service is separately running for each customer within their premise to monitor the devices fixed at customer location. How can I move this windows service to cloud (as without VM) such that it will monitor the multiple devices of more than one customers across
    the globe.  if it is not feasible then let us know any other alternate solution. Actually, this is a very grey area for us.
    Thanks,

  • How to move a window to another, existing space that already has windows

    NOT happy with the new Mission Control.  Give me back spaces!
    I have been using virtual desktops (VDT) for years and I often work 14 to 18 hours a day on my mac.. 
    I can reorder my spaces in MC but that seems to be about all I can do and it really is ******* me off.
    I need to be able to drag a single window from 1 space to another space where I already have another application running. This was TRIVIAL in SPACES but seems impossible in MC.
    example:  I have a text file of notes in vi in one VDT and in another I have a browser window open to a customer location where I need to use or add to those notes with some complexity. I want to move that notes window from the VDT that it is in (because there are other apps there) to the current VDT so that I can easily use the notes and the browser together. I do NOT want to have to make the stupid vi window in ALL spaces. How do I do this?
    another example: I have a browser with multiple tabs and I want to move ONE of them to another VDT. I can pull the tab to make another window.. But I can't move just that tab to another VDT!! How can I do that?
    Please please PLEASE fix this in Mountain Lion !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You have to start from the Desktop where the window is currently living to move it to another Desktop.
    If you are using Safari in Full Screen, that screen is its own desktop and can't be moved to another desktop. If you are not in Full screen, go to the desktop that hosts the window and drag it to another Desktop in MC.

  • How to play MOV files inside Windows Media Center Edition

    I've installed QT Pro, but am not able to play MOV files inside Windows Media Center Edition (MCE). Under "My Videos" from the MCE main interface, I can see the files, but once selected, error message indicates unknown/unplayable file type.
    How do I get my MOV files to play inside Windows MCE??

    I don't use MSI's MC application so I can't directly answer your question.
    However both Win DVD 6 and PowerDVD6 play them just fine by launching the ts.ifo file.
    Yes, I know that, but that means that I should use at least two applications. I need only one front end to launch all my media files, inluding ripped DVD files, not as separate VOBs but as whole movies decribed in IFO files.

  • Need help, used to play .mov but won't now, how do i fix this??

    I was havin problems with .mov, the screen is all white, but i can hear sound, the videos played before but now they won't and i have no idea how this happened or how to fix this, can someone please help or direct me to someone or somewhere that can??

    A white playback area means you're missing the proper video codec.
    Use the Movie Inspector window to find out what's used and a Google search to find that codec right your your machine.

  • TS3354 What is the solution for the error message when playing movies on a windows computer that doesn't support HDCP?

    How do I make my Windows computer Dell Latitude E7440 play the movies I just purchased? I am getting the message, "To play this movie in HD, your PC must have Windows 7 and a built-in display or a display that supports HDCP."
    Is there a fix or solution ot this problem? Please help!

    Hello Mendeezee,
    Depending on the age of the monitor, you may not be able to playback any HD content that is purchased in iTunes. One way to check is to download the SD version that comes with the HD version. Check out the articles below for more clarification. 
    iTunes for Windows: Unable to view or play HD video content that requires HDCP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3354
    iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3209
    In iTunes for Windows, in order to view HD content, both the display hardware (computer screen, LCD, external monitor, and so on) and video card driver must support HDCP.
    Note: Depending on your computer's hardware limitations, you may be unable to purchase, rent, or view HD content from the iTunes Store. If you are trying to view HD video on an external display, the display must have a digital connection (DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI) and support HDCP.

  • With the new itunes, I cannot movie my rented movies as I did before.  It just shows a photo of each movie and a choice of details or to play movie.  How do I download my rented movies now to my IPAD???

    With the updated Itunes, how do I move a movie rental I downloaded to my computer to my IPAD?  I can no longer find the "Move" button.  It looks different, just listing a pic of the movie, I can choose only details or to play movie.  Please help!!  If you can possibly put up a screen shot to show my how to do this, it would be helpful.  thanks

    As far as I know it should work like it always has. Can you see the sidebar in iTunes? If not, go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu, then click on your iPad on the left sidebar, then click on the Movies tab in the window on the right.

  • HT3775 Hi...I have the OS X v10.6.8 but my QuickTime is not playing .mov files. How can I fix this?

    Hi...I have the OS X v10.6.8 but my QuickTime is not playing .mov files. How can I fix this?
    Depends of the specific kind of file you are trying to play. MOV refers to the file container. Any data compatible with the system used to create the file can be placed in an MOV file. If you don't have the same codecs available on your computer to play back the file or if your version of the QT player does not expect expect the encoded data to be in an MOV file container, then it cannot/will not play the file. Use the Finder Info window, media player Inspector/Information window, or a dedicated utility to determine what compression formats were used to create the MOV file and then install the required codec(s) if available.

  • How do i play .mov files

    Hi
    I suspect that this has been asked before, but how do I now play .mov files. I created some movies a few years ago for teaching purposes and need to use them again. However, neither iMovie nor Quicktime seem to recognise/support the .mov format.
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Don

    Are you saying that there are settings that I can adjust to let current versions of Quicktime/iMovie/iTunes play the files, or do I need to use another programme to convert the files into a current form that will be recognisable to current standards?
    I am saying that we have no idea what codec components were used to create the original files. (I.e., the MOV file container is like a bottle, can, cup, glass, or other container that can be filled with any liquid, solid, or gas that can be fit into it.) For instance, if were created as Windows Media Video files and copied to an MOV file container, then you would need Flip4Mac components installed on your system. If they were created using DivX, XviD, 4IVX or similar codecs, then you would need to update those codecs or remove them and install the Perian codec package. MOV files containing muxed MPEG-2 video would require installation if the Apple QT MPEG-2 Playback component. FLV content in an MOV file container could be played with the Perian package installed. If the files were created using one of FCP "Pro" components, then those same codecs must be installed on the platform on which you wish to play the files now. And so on down the line of "legacy" and third-party codec compression formats which may or may not be spported by the latest versions of QT which tend to concentrate on newer technologies that support HD compression formats.
    What I am saying is that without knowing what codec components were used to create the original file, it is impossible to tell whether you simply need to install currently available components that will allow you to play the files in the QT X, QT 7, use a third-party player like VLC for playback, or whether you would have to re-compress the files that target codecs no longer available for current hardware/software system configurations. Further, I am saying that the first step in solving a playback problem is to clearly define the specific problem in terms of the file container, compression format(s) involved, data characteristics as specified by Inspector, Media, Finder, or third-party utility windows or providing a sample file for analysis if you cannot determine this information on your own.

  • Java windows slip under menu bar, how to move?

    Hi, I have accidently dragged some Java windows beneath the (transparent) menu bar.
    Safari browser windows do not slip under the menu bar, but those created by a Java application can slide beneath it, up to the edge of the screen...just far enough to make accessing their title bars impossible. I'm able to resize the Java windows by dragging their accessible edges but I am unable to click on their title bars in order to drag them back down beneath the menu bar.
    How can I click upon title bars or resize these windows to lower them in desktop space, so their title bars are lower than the menu bar? I am currently unable to drag or click upon their obscured title bars to move these windows. Is there another way to move windows without clicking upon their title bars?
    thanks

    apparently there is a third party app called windowsmover or something like that

  • How to move windows from disconnected screen to active desktop?

    Hi
    I have a projector connected over the MiniDisplay-port on my Mac Mini, and a large Samsung screen connected over the Mini-DVI-port.
    Whenever I turn off the projector, I can still see from the Display menu that the proejctor is still connected. How can I make OS X recognize that the display is in fact off?
    The problem occurs when I open an application that was open on the projection scren (like iTunes’ movie plauyer window, or QuickTime): because it will reopen on the screen that is now turned off.
    The only work-around I have found is to enable Spaces, and move the window over using spaces. But this is cumbersome and annoying.
    Does anyone have a better solution? Thanks in advance,

    I have already tried that, and the screen still appears as connected. I guess that is correct, as the cable still is connected. But that doesn’t really help when the monitor is off.
    Other suggestions?
