IPods and Service Pack 3 for Windows XP

If you have installed Service Pack 3 for Windows XP, an issue may arrise that will not allow iPods to function. You will get an error that the iPod Service Module has experienced an error and needs to close.
If you see this error, first check to see if you can see any of your devices in the Device Manager. To do this, click on Start, the right click on My Computer, then click on the Hardware tab, then click on the Device Manager button. If this window is blank, you will need to call Microsoft directly at 800-642-7676.
The reason that the Device Manager is now blank is that if you were running any Anti-Virus program while Service Pack 3 was being installed, there was a certain file that was prevented from running that was designed to clean up the registry after installation. Since this file did not execute, that is why your Device Manager is now blank and your iPod will not work.
A word of caution though. When you call Microsoft, do not tell them that the reason you are calling is that your iPod does not work due to Service Pack 3. If you say this, they will want to charge you $80.00 for tech support. On the other hand, if you say that you recently installed Service Pack 3 and have noticed that the Device Manager is now empty, you will now get the tech support for free.
I write this for any who might be experiencing this problem as Apple Tech Support has informed me that this is one of their biggest tech support issues in the past couple of months since Service Pack 3 was released.

Still useful as of 12/30/11. Have ten Lenovo 5042 computers with downgrade licenses to run XP and have a ghosted image from another Lenovo 5042 having and Intel cpu. My target computers all have AMD cpus in them and the image would continuously reboot on
the AMD computers.
Used method 1 and it cleared the problem instantly, many thanks for the post and the time and effort it took to dig up the answer..

Crystal Reports (VS-2005). Service Pack for Windows 2008 Server

I had issues with reduced font size on Export and Printing. On a PC with Windows XP SP2 installed, I made registry changes as recommended in this post:
[Font size decreases when exporting to PDF (Crystal Reports)|http://mdn.morovia.com/kb/Font-size-decreases-exporting-PDF-Crystal-Reports-10053.html]
Prior to making registry changes, I also installed Crystal Reports SP1 for VS-2005. After this, everything seems to be working fine.
But I still have this Reduced Font Size issue on my Server with Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise installed.
I installed the same Service Pack and made the registry changes, but the changes don't seem to appear. It is still showing Reduced Fonts on Export and Printing. My server is also running Visual Studio 2005.

I concur with Bhushan;
It may or may not work with windows server 2008 .
One idea;
Use [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx]. Look at the procmon logs and see if the registry key is being looked at \ accessed by the report engine.
Other than that, upgrade to a version of CR that supports the OS is your only option.

Having problems downloading itunes 10.5.2; box states windows installer issue. I have a 2005 with windows XP and service pack 2. Any ideas?

Just bought a new ipod touch for my daughter. It won't sync without itunes 10.5.2 loaded on our computer (a 2005 HP with Windows XP and service pack 2.) When I've tried to load 10.5.2, I get an error message box stating there is a problem with my Windows installer. I've tried loading the windows installer hot fix KB942288-v3-x86, but it didn't help. Any suggestion?

Hi Lorheak,
thanks for the quick reply. I had the same idea already yesterday. I use Norton Internet Security for a long time now without any problems. I think this a Apple or Microsoft problem, because the popup window which appear come from Windows DEP. I got no message from the firewall with any problem. I check the log files from Norton and Windows already but find nothing. This is a very strange problem. In the past I have had a lot of other problems with iTunes upgrades. Everytime I accept the installation of the newest version I got errors regarding missing "msi" files.
Greetings Gert

ORADC problem on Windows 2000 with Service pack 1 and service pack 2

Hi,
I have a VB application running on NT4.0 workstations. It uses
ORADC control to talk to ORACLE 7.3 When I load it on Windows
2000 with service pack 1 or service pack 2, I encounter some
problems.
The ORADC control is used in most of the VB forms and the
Refresh method of the ORADC conrol is used to refresh the APEX
TRUE DBGRID PRO control. When this action is executed, I receive
a run time error
"Method Refresh of object '_DORADC' failed Err#: -2147417848
It works fine when no service pack is applied on Win2K.
Can anyone tell me what's going on?
Thanks

Connect Azure Pack to Service Bus for Windows Server with Custom DNS

Hello! I'm trying to configure Azure Pack to use Service Bus for Windows Server 1.1 with Custom DNS.
All runs on one virtual machine (Windows Server 2012 R2) in Windows Azure.
I following this post:
roysvork.wordpress.com/2014/06/14/developing-against-service-bus-for-windows-1-1
Replace FramDNS "servicebus" to "mymachine.cloudapp.net", and create certificate:
SelfSSL /N:CN=mymachine.cloudapp.net /V:1000 /T
On Windows Azure Virtual Machine:
1.I'll set publuc DNS: mymachine.cloudapp.net
2.Open ports: 10354,10355,10356,10359,10000-10004
3.In hosts file: 127.0.0.1 mymachine.cloudapp.net
4.Create certificate:
SelfSSL /N:CN=mymachine.cloudapp.net /V:1000 /T
PowerShell:
Stop-SBFarm –Verbose
Set-SBFarm -FarmDns 'mymachine.cloudapp.net'
Update-SBHost –Verbose
Start-SBFarm –Verbose

Afther that i can connect to my ServiceBusDefaultNamespace with SAS.
It's work perfect. But, When I try to create Service Bus Namespace from Azure Pack Tenant portal - in Log an Exception:
Namespace Provisioning Exception. TrackingId: . SystemId: . Namespace: SomeNamespace.

Please help!

Hi Alexander,
According to the log, it seems that the validation process of the certificate failed.
Please make sure that the certificate is installed in the client properly.
Usually, self-signed certificate should be installed in the Computer Account-->Trusted Root Certificate Authorities.

I can't answer that. I'm just a user. Apple makes it decisions and does not share that with anyone here as you well know. Apple has also stopped supporting syncing contacts and calendar with the latest version of OS X, Mavericks. Users have to use iCloud. Many are not happy about that.

Service Packs and Fix Packs for Business Objects XI Release 2

Hi,
How can I know wich services pack or fix packs are installed on my server? I have installed Business Objects XI Release 2, and Xcelsius 2008 Release 2, and Live Office.
Do you know where can I download a spreedsheet that contains informatiion about the fix packs or service packs and the issues that solved??
Thanks
Lilia

Your first question was answered many time int his forums, please use search functionality before posting a question.
There is no publicly available Version matrix + fixed issues list.
However, you can do to Service Market Place > Downloads locate XIR2 section and see how many Service Packs and Fix Packs are available.
Latest Service Pack for XIR2 is 6
latest Fix Pack for XIR2 is FP6.4 (needs to be installed on top of SP6)
To the right of each SP/FP in the download section of SMP is a link called "Info" , it leads to Knowledge articles which contain list of fixed issues.
As all SP/FP's are cumulative, you can view Sp6 readme and Fp6.4readme to get overall picture of fixed issues.

Service Pack for Proliant installing successfully but returning failure in OSD task sequence

Building bare metal servers with SCCM 2012 SP1 CU2 OSD and running into an issue with HPs where they attempt to install the Service Pack for Proliant 2013.02.0. I am using a package with a program. Here is the program command line:
Hpsum.exe /use_latest /allow_non_bundle_components /current_credential /silent
The application installs successfully but there is a distinct delay and then errors thrown that fails the TS. Setting 'continue on error' is a work around but not what I want to have in the production environment. How can I get around this issue?
This is the same exact package and program that ran perfectly fine in SCCM 2007, but we are seeing this as a new issue since the migration to SCCM 2012.
I'd like to solve this issue as well as get rid of the "Waiting for job status notification....InstallSoftware"
Any suggestions?

Hello Guys!
HP ProLiant Support Pack / Service Pack uses different Exit Codes, due to that this software support other operating systems than Windows. Therefore HP has standardized to use other Exit Codes, which Windows Detect as failures.
HPSum Exit Codes:
ExitCode 1 = "Installation Successful"
ExitCode 2 = "Installation Successful, but a reboot is required"
ExitCode 3 = "Installation was canceled, or no components were updated"
EcitCode 9009 = "Installation did not complete. Check the path and make sure that the Installation exists at the specified location"
HP recommends to use following Batch File to workaround this issue for SCCM:

Performing Exchange Server patching & service pack for mailbox server without losing some data during the rollback ?

People,
I'd like to know how can I safely apply the Exchange Server service pack or cumulative update to the Mailbox Server role (no DAG) without losing some email during the downtime and rolling back the snapshot ?
Can I do the following:
1. Stop all of the Exchange Server services.
2. Disconnect the vNIC in Mailbox server
3. Take VM snapshot
4. Apply the Exchange Server service Pack / Cumulative Update or Windows Update
5. Reboot
6. Reconnect the vNIC, if the server back online again with no issue, commit / delete the snapshot, if not, then disconnect the vNIC followed by roll back.
would that be make sense or supported from both Vmware and Microsoft http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/exchange-2010-on-vmware-support-and-licensing-guide.pdf ?
If yu have any other suggestion, please let me know here.
Thanks in advance.

Hey AlbertWT,
I'll start off by saying that I wouldn't do it. Microsoft is explicit that snapshots are not supported with Exchange when virtualized. See below (from Exchange 2013 virtualization: Exchange 2013 Help):
Some hypervisors include features for taking snapshots of virtual machines. Virtual machine snapshots capture the state of a virtual machine while it's running. This feature enables you to take multiple snapshots of a virtual machine and then revert the virtual machine to any of the previous states by applying a snapshot to the virtual machine. However, virtual machine snapshots aren't application aware, and using them can have unintended and unexpected consequences for a server application that maintains state data, such as Exchange. As a result, making virtual machine snapshots of an Exchange guest virtual machine isn't supported.
Even if we ignore the support statement on snapshots this is still not a good idea. Here are some things to consider.
1) Cumulative updates for Exchange make changes to the Active Directory Schema. Rolling back the snapshot on the Mailbox server will not roll back the changes to AD, which could cause functional and supportability issues. See this link to give you an idea of how there are AD schema updates in every Exchange CU and service pack: Exchange 2013 Active Directory schema changes: Exchange 2013 Help
2) It is possible for email to come in during the time that you're testing the update, and if you need to roll back you would need a plan to get that email back. Third party services could work, or you could prevent email from coming into your environment completely during that time, but those are not ideal solutions.
A far better solution would be to create a lab environment that is isolated from production. You could either take clones of your Exchange and AD VMs and put them into a network fenced environment, or create a lab and import your AD structure so it matches production. I think this is a far better way to test than trying to rely on snapshots in production.
Hope that helps!
Matt

Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2 upgradation

Hi,
I need your support to upgrade and migrate to Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2 in my development server.
I am currently upgrading my Crystal enterprise version 9 with the Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2. I have the below questions to be clarified. Appreciate if you can reply me ASAP. Thanks.
My Environment:
O/S - Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition; Version 5.2 (Build 3790); Service Pack - 1
RAM size - 1 GB
Installed software - Crystal enterprise 9
1) After successfully upgraded with the XI version, all my current user accounts and existing reports are not available in the upgraded version. Pl. suggest me, how to migrate my existing connections and all the existing reports?
2) In my server, SQL Server is not installed. But SQL Server instance (SQL Server 7.00.623) is running in my taskbar (desktop). If I stopped the SQL Server instance, the "Crystal APS" in the Crystal Configuration Manager is stopped. What information is stored in the SQL Server?
3) What is the default SQL server version bundled with Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Service Pack 2? What is the SQL server version you recommand?
4) Will the Crystal Reports XI Release 2 SP2 supports the SQL Server 7.00.623?
Regards
Sanrajesh

Hello, Sanrajesh,
You have been using Crystal Enterprise 9.0 and now you are installing Crystal Reports XI R2. Is that correct?
Crystal Reports XI R2 is just the Crystal Reports designer and runtime for development.
Crystal Reports XI R2 does not have the functionality of Crystal Enterprise. The upgrade would be Crystal Enterprise 9.0 to Business Objects Enterprise XI R2. (11.5)
A full BusinessObjects Enterprise installation will install the appropriate MS SQL Server for it's own use.
Will this be the Enterprise server or just the Development system to create an application connecting to your BusinessObjects Enterprise server?
What development language will you be programming in?
If you have BusinessObjects Enterprise installed elsewhere you only need the appropriate development components on your system and connect to the server in code.
Our BusinessEnterprise Support team would assist you in the upgrade from Crystal Enterprise 9 to Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 if that was your plan.
Then we could discuss the development requirements.

Photoshop CS4 (and AI, Illustrator) for Windows 8

Just realized it's CS4 (I use CS5 at work)...
I can't find where this has been asked directly in another forum, but it seems like an obvious question:
Can I install and run CS4 products in Windows 8 Pro x64? Windows Upgrade Manager said there was an issue (when reviewing my apps) and sent me to the Adobe site where it seemed to want to point me to a $375 upgrade to CS6. I hope this is not the only way to run on W8. Anyone?
Thanks!

I concur, all CS4 apps (32-bit* - see below) run quite well in Windows 8 Pro (64-bit). I am experiencing better performance than when I had XP Pro 64-bit on the same machine; However, the following may be of interest:
Per Adobe:
1. CS4 was never certified for 64-bit systems and the latest service pack was a prerequisite for all previous 64-bit Microsoft operating systems.
Sidenote: The latest service pack for XP 64-bit is actually found under the Server 2003 Service Pack downloads on the Microsoft site.
2. All CS4 products are actually only 32-bit except Photoshop which exist in both 32 and 64-bit versions in the installer.
Regarding Photoshop (in my experience - see my system details below for comparison):
1. The installer is supposed to install the 32-bit version on 32-bit systems and install both the 32 and 64-bit versions on 64-bit systems, however, with Windows 8 Pro 64-bit, it only installed the 32-bit version of Photoshop. (I then wiped my drive, reinstalled the OS and then reinstalled CS4 chosing the 64-bit version of Photoshop in the custom install options)
2. If you manually select to install the 64-bit version of Photoshop (in lieu of the 32-bit version using the custom install options), the 64-bit version will fail to run, even using any of the compatibility options provided. (I then wiped my drive and went back to a default install of CS4).
Bottom line:
Be aware that if you select to install Photoshop (64), it may not run and since the 32-bit version is not installed when the 64-bit version is selected, you will have to uninstall the 64-bit version and then reinstall the Photoshop component allow the default 32-bit version to be used.
For reference:
Environment:
Machine: Toshiba R25-3513 convertible TabletPC
Processor: Intel Core2 Duo processor (T5200) (Does not support hyperthreading - which may be my issue)

I have an HP-Pavilion Vista PC with MS Office 2007 and Service Pack 2. Each time I try to save a Word or Excel document I get the “Not Responding” message. The “Word is saving……” bar at the bottom does not show any progress. On clicking the document I get a faded version even when in Safe Mode. Somehow the document appears on the Desktop where I tried to save it. On trying to open the saved document, even as administrator, I get the following ”File in Use” message:
“The ….docx is locked for editing by….” and I am asked three questions including:
“Do you want to open a Read Only copy” yet on clicking “Yes” I am able to edit the same document.
On trying to save to a different location I get the message:
“Your autocorrect file MSO 1033.ad could not be saved. The file may be read only or you may not have permission to modify this file.”
The same message stating FILE12\1033\MSO.ACL MSO 1033ad recurs with new Excel documents.
How can I correct this problem?
PS
Worse still, the HP Advisor icon that appears on startup does not load successfully while showing the message: “Access to the path Hewlett-Packard\HD Advisor is denied”.
What can I do about it?

I'm having the same issue, allowing guest access on the share did change the logs I'm getting in Samba. Earlier on it was giving errors on the inability of guest access to the share.

I also noticed that the temporary file that is created by office is not removed after the attempt to safe the file. (something like: ~$filename).

SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow. The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes. I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2. We installed the most recent patches and service packs.

Hi Kim Sharp,
According to your description that when you view the report it is extremely slow in SSRS 2008 R2 but it is very fast when execute the query in dataset designer, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can‘t reproduce the issue. Obviously, it is the performance issue, rendering performance can be affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount
of data in a report, design of the report, and output format. If you have parameters in your report which contains many values in the list, the bad performance as you mentioned is an known issue on 2008 R2 and already have the hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2276203
Any issue after applying the update, I recommend you that submit a feedback at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/
If you don’t have, you can do some action to improve the performance when designing the report. Because how you create and update reports affects how fast the report renders.
Actually, the Report Server ExecutionLog2 view contains reports performance data. You could make use of below query to see where the report processing time is being spent:
After you determine whether the delay time is in data retrieval, report processing, or report rendering:
use ReportServer
SELECT TOP 10 ReportPath,parameters,
TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering as [total time],
TimeDataRetrieval, TimeProcessing, TimeRendering,
ByteCount, [RowCount],Source, AdditionalInfo
FROM ExecutionLog2
ORDER BY Timestart DESC
Use below methods to help troubleshoot issues according to the above query result :
