I am an activist when it comes to rip-offs and I intend to set up a group to pressure the Ausralian government to legislate to make all computer software producers to make all new software compatible with all old software AT NO COST to the user.
I thought about that myself, but when it comes to Windows XP. It is peculiar that software companies get away with "selling" software that suddenly stops working properly. The problem with XP is of course an environmental one as well. There is a huge number of fully functional PCs that suddenly are no longer supported by Microsoft, and that are not powerful enough to take newer supported MS operating systems. What MS basically recommends people is to throw them away with a horrible cost for our environment.

Actually the stack trace indicates the the error is happening in KaptchaExample.jsp, not in a Servlet. I'm guessing that the code you've presented is in a scriptlet (i.e. inside the JSP in <% %> brackets). This is altogether the wrong place for it. JSPs are purely for generating HTML and to try and generate image responses in one is doomed to failure. Write a servlet class to generate your image file. If you want to embed a dynamically generated image in an HTML page, then you need to generate HTML which accesses the Servlet through the <img src=... tag, i.e. the browser retrieves the image data as a separate transaction.
The immediate source of the crash is that the JSP already opened the output stream in order to write HTML output, so it's too late to try and open it for the writing of image data.

Identity Server has not been configured for this new user/group suffix

Hi all
I am having a problem trying to configure the Directory Server (5.2) for Messaging Server.
My configuration is as follows:
SJES Q12005
Server 1 - Directory Server 5.2
Server 1 - Access Manager (formerly Identity Server)
Server 1 - Web Server 6.1
I have successfully installed the above and can login to Access Manager.
I next installed Calendar & Messengar Server on "Server 1". Upon running "comm_dssetup.pl" from /opt/SUNWcomds/sbin, I get the following error:
"Identity Server has not been configured for this new user/group suffix"
Copy and paste of what I entered:
bash-2.05# perl comm_dssetup.pl

Hi
Thanks for your reply!
I did mis-type, my mistake - sorry about that.
If I dont over-ride the default it works, I've pretty much got the whole setup working now but I'm not particularly over the moon about the way the ldap tree is setup, I'd like finer granuality as we are going to attempt to get syncronization working with AD.
I have an idea about how I'd like to set up our Mail/Calendar/LDAP infrastructure the 2nd time around (I'm just testing at the mo) - so I might have a question or two for you if you dont mind taking a look when you have a minute?
Thanks Jay

Photos from the Internet will not load correctly. I get white boxes with blue question marks inside. This has only been happening for the past 3 weeks so I'm not sure why it is happening.

Yes - email & text work fine but when I use something like Google Images or search a blog with imbedded photos I get the empty white boxes with question marks. If I click the question mark it opens the photo but I can't possibly do that for EVERY image on EVERY page I search!?!?! I've rebooted the iPad & my wireless card several times but neither action helped. Have any clue what I should do now?

Can someone help me with that.

I believe the supported version for ghost script is 7.0.6; I had the same problem and after installing the lower version it worked like a charm.
If you cant find the older version let me know, I'll email it to you or place it in my website.

You should copy everything from your old comptuer to your new one.

Error message:this version of itunes has not been localized for this language. please run the english version

Error message received when trying to open Itunes. This version of Itunes has not been localized for this language. Please run the english version.

Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now?

PDF has not been configured for this web server linux 11.1.2

Hi,

When the user opens the workspace and tries to see the "Profit and Loss" and selects

Can somebody suggest me what to do ?
Appreciate your response.

Check your print server service on your foundation server, sometimes I have had that just stop for whatever reason.

Pegging information has not been calculate for [item] in this plan

Hello planners -
we ran across a strange thing today. We have an item in our unconstrained MRP with multiple demands and resulting supplies.
The last demand line (Sales Order MDS) shows pegging information has not been calculate for [item] in this plan - and only this line.
The item is set for End Assembly/Hard Pegging, the plan options have pegging enabled, and it works for all other demands.
Any idea why one demand line is excluded from the pegging calculation?
Thanks,
Christoph

On the surface, the item seems to have its supplies balanced to the demands – 9 sales order demands, and 9 supplies (planned orders and non-standard work orders).
A look under the hood shows some interesting things:
• The first non-standard work order is linked to a specific project (we use Seiban manufacturing).
• There is no demand for that project. That leaves the above work order hanging – it cannot be used for anything else, only this project.
• This work order also has an exception message “Items with excess inventory in a project/task” – makes total sense
• The last demand cannot peg to the existing work order, hence the somewhat misleading “pegging information has not been calculated in this plan” message
• The item shows one more interesting exception called “Demand quantity is not satisfied” – which is somewhat true.
The immediate solution is to take the project number off the work order. The next plan run has relinked all supplies and demands as needed.

How do I select a square brush for the brush tool in CS6? Sorry if this is a simple question, but nothing has ever been simple for me in Photoshop.

I don't believe there is a square brush among the sets that ship with Photoshop, but there are plenty to download, and it is super easy to make one.
Just drag with the rectangular Marquee tool, fill with black on a new layer, and go Edit > Define brush preset

When I turn on a computer that has not been used for 6 months, does all of the old information from that computer end up in Icloud?

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

Microsoft Word Has Not Been Installed for the Current User

Hi, everybody
I'm just starting our attempt to put together ZfD app packages for MS Office 2007. I've tried 2 different route with poor results for each. I'm looking for guidance and suggestions and, hey really, the simple final solution. :)
Objectives: Each app package will install locally one of the Office apps (e.g., Word) if it is not installed and then launch it, otherwise it will launch it. It gets installed locally to the C: drive using all the MS default choices, but runs from the desktop ZEN/NAL shortcut. All desktops are XP, not Vista or W7.
Routes tried and failed...
1) Simple app, uses distribution and run scripts to figure out if already installed, then installs using network shared drive and config.xml file for just the one app. The result ought to work -- no particular error in the package, those are fixed -- but what happens is something different each time with the MS setup.exe, and it never does complete without its own error (various and different each time). So, this appears to be completely unreliable because launching MS's setup.exe from a simple app is unpredictable and incomplete.
2) Snapshot of a successful setup.exe and config.xml install. This ALMOST works... well it does in fact work but the snapshotted app gives an error once it finishes launching -- "Microsoft Word Has Not Been Installed for the Current User" -- and exits. From the research I've done on this message, the MS program sees the "wrong" Windows profile on the destination environment, compared to that in the snapshot, and figures it's now been installed from a bootleg copy of Office 2007.
At this stage all I can think of is expletives. We've paid for everything, I've followed all the usual and customary steps, played by the rules, been polite (and also used the necessary computer swear words), and now I just want to insult everyone in Microsoft's marketing department for ruining everyone's life yet again. Can't we just do this, is it too much to ask!?!
Please help me. What is really going to work for distributing and maintaining Office 2007 apps using our ZfD environment? ALL USEFUL SUGGESTIONS WELCOME. Thank you. Bless you.
-Kent S.
Be strong as a ship and wise as a whale

These questions are really best in the Microsoft Office Forums.
These are MS Office Questions not ZEN Questions.
Novell did not design Microsoft's Office Install.
I have nothing against snapshots, but it does not work great with the Office
installs, which you yourself know since you are posting here with problems
based on that.
And your other method you are trying with the break out is not working well.
We also know that from experience.
We can tell you that the way most people install it and the way most people
succeed doing it, is by doing it the way recommended and designed by
Microsoft.
