"Lock Computer" under Windows XP professional

hi,
My Swing app needs to be notified when a user "Locks" the computer using CTRL+ALT+DEL combination and then clicking the "Lock Computer" button.
I need to know even if the computer gets automatically locked via the screen saver. Can I do this at all ?

You would need JNI.
JDIC has an incubator project, SystemInfo, this has a org.jdesktop.jdic.systeminfo.SystemInfo
.isSessionLocked() you could poll.
To quote kajbj, why do you need to know that?

I have a new computer with Windows 7 professional, Office 2007, Adobe XI. I have just created a word document and tried save it as a PDF but the PDF option doesn't appear in the drop down menu. Any ideas please? Thank you.

What is "Adobe XI" - Reader, or Acrobat?
But either way, 'Save as Adobe PDF' is a Word function, independent of what Adobe software you have installed.

You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
How much free space is on your hard drive?
Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

Printing from a Dos Program which uses LPT1 running a Virtual XP under Windows 7 Professional.

The Virtual XP uses the printer assigned to Windows 7 Professional by using Microsoft Terminal Services so you see a TS... pointing the the printer
in Windows 7.
It works fine in the Virtual XP system.
When you open the DOS application to print you must first do a Net Use lpt1:
\\Virtual XP computer name\Shared name you assigned to the printer you want to use /persisent:yes
This works well when you are running in a regular XP machine, but will not work from the Virtual XP machine running under Windows & Professional.
I believe it has to do with the fact that the Virtual XP machine is connecting to the Windows 7 printer that is connected via a Net Use command
for the TSclient prn12 pointing to the Windows 7 HP network printer.
Has anyone encountered this situation and if so is there a way to correct it.
The error message I get in the DOS application says the printer is offline or not connected.

Have you tried to share the printer over the network in the Windows 7 environment - and then do a net use from inside the virtual machine (rather than using the terminal services printer redirection)? Note that for this to work you will need to be using
a direct network connection on the virtual machine - and not shared networking.

Num lock on under windows

anyone have a quick solution to this?
It's fine under OS X, but when I switch to Windows the num lock light on the keyboard stays on no matter what I try?

The fn + f6 didn't do much - but thanks anyway.
Has no one else out there had this issue?

XP on shipped T400 under Windows 7 Professional Downgrade Rights- Possible to Dual Boot?

I just received the laptop, and booted Windows XP, all configured and such. I then created recovery discs using the Lenovo utility. If I boot from these discs, will they give the option of installing Windows 7 in a separate partition and dual booting?
If no option is given to dual boot, then will discs allow installation of Windows 7, clean install, over the XP partition?
Also, I apologize in advance if I have missed a thread that directly addresses this question. Please direct me to it.
Thanks!
Solved!

No, the recovery disks will restore Windows XP on the system. Lenovo doesn't support DualBoot configs.
>If no option is given to dual boot, then will discs allow installation of Windows 7, clean install, over the XP partition?
A clean install infers a format of the hard drive.
I have written a clean install doc for Windows 7 that should be posted in the next day or so.

Guys: I'm new to this forum and to Creative SBO220 sound cards. I just bought an OEM card and installed it on 6/22. I had trouble with no sound until I realized that I had to go to Control Panel>Sounds and change my defaults. After that, the sound was there. Check it out.

Presario CQ 71 - Built in Webcam not detected under Windows 7 Professional - No HP-101 device

I have a Compaq Presario CQ 71 EB400. On this notebook I run both Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits and Windows 7 Professional 64-bits to compare behaviour of apps and windows features in both environments.
Windows 7 Home on my HD C partition
Windows 7 Professional on my HD F partition.
The CQ 71 has a built in Webcam, that shows up under Windows 7 Home premium Device Manager - Imaging Devices (Cameras and Scanners) as HP-101, linked to the required drivers.
Under Windows 7 Home premium:
- The built-in CQ 71 Webcam is detected and operational - the HP-101 entry is present in Device Manager.
- Applications using a Webcam like Skype, Mycam, Manycom etc connect with the Webcam
- When I plug in an external Webcam, thet webcam is detected as well, drivers loaded etc.
Under Windows 7 Professional:
- The built in Webcam is not detected, in the Device Manager -Imaging Devices, the HP-101 Webcam entry is absent
- Skype, Mycam, Manycam cannot find a Webcam (also not when an external USB Webcam is plugged in)
- A plugged in external Web cam is not detected as an imaging device.
I use a Brother printer/scanner/fax machine, the Brother scanner device is visible as Imaging device in Device manager in both Windows 7 Home premium and Windows 7 Professional.
Other USB devices, portable disks, card readers etc seem to work OK in both Windows 7 environments.
The HP support pages provide information what to do when a internal Webcam is not detected; The recommended actions make no difference. Going back to a previous W7 Prof restore point is no option, as on the CQ 71 notebook the built-in Webcam never functioned under W7 Professional.
The major difference is that all Windows 7 Home Premium relatede system software resides on the C partition, all Windows 7 Professional system software on the F partition.
I'm looking for a way to kickstart the built in CQ 71 Webcam under Windows 7 Professional installed on a non-standard partition.
Your suggestions will be very welcome.
Jan Dijckmeester.

Hi again jdij,
It is good to hear back from you!
To enable your system to detect the Webcam in Windows 7, I recommend re-installing the original drivers and software that first came with your computer. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7). To update the newly installed software, please follow this resource on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7).
If the webcam is still not detected, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7).
Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

PCMCIA-FBus Series 2 is not recognized under Windows XP

I'm trying to get a PCMCIA-FBus Series 2 card work under Windows XP Professional SP2 toghether with an Elan P111 PCI to PCMCIA Adapter, but when I plug in the card Windows does not recognize it - I only get a "pcmcia unknown_manufacturer" message and no driver is installed.
I've tried to install the driver manually, but then I get an error code 10, Device could not be started.
The Computer is a Dell Optiplx 740, AMP Athlon 64 X2 3800+. NI-Configurator v3.1, v3.1.1 and v3.2.1 have been tested. The Elan P111 driver is PSeries v5.07.08.

Hi,
I am not sure whether this PCI-PCMCIA adapter works well with Windows XP SP2. I suggest that you also contact the adapter manufacturer for the compatibility issue.
We did do some test on Elan PCI-PCMCIA adapter, but I am sorry that we are unable to make verifications on all kinds of hardware and software combination. There exists the possibilities that the adapter does not work on some PC's.
Another suggestion that you can try is to install the PCI-PCMCIA adapter driver on a clean Dell Optiplx 740 (Windows XP SP2 without Microsoft hotfix ). I think this can help you identify whether there are compatibility problems between the adapter and system.
Regards

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes on startup under Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit - No splash screen

I installed my licensed copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended today as part of my install a bunch of software after a reinstall of Windows (due to viruses). I did a completely fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I've used Photoshop CS3 Extended for quite a while now so I know what to expect on startup but it was previously installed under Windows XP Professional (32-bit). Figured I would give Windows 7 a chance this time around.
Google searches aren't turning up anything. When I attempt to start the application, I get a window with the title "Adobe Photoshop CS3" (no "Extended" - I seem to recall the title changes later) and the toolbar appears. However, no splash screen appears and no Product Activation wizard appears - the application simply freezes on an empty frame and a toolbar. I've tried running Photoshop as Administrator (right-click, "Run As Administrator"), but nothing changed there. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I tried upgrading to CS3 10.0.1. Nothing works. The application simply freezes before it gets anywhere.
I tried calling Adobe Support since this technically falls under installation issues but their phone support systems are down today. Go figure.
Edit: I hooked into Photoshop with the Visual Studio debugger and every single thread is executing some variation of WaitForSingleObject() or WaitForMultipleObjects(). The main thread is "executing" somewhere in AdobeLM_libFNP.dll (at address 09619d81 - if I had debugging symbols for CS3, I could provide a function). There are nine threads "running" at the point the freeze occurs - but all of them are technically suspended due to the functions they are executing - and one thread is in a suspended state.

And, according to the Event Viewer, the "Binary" data translates to a zero-terminated Unicode string of "Cross-thread".
My Visual Studio analysis was far more informative. All threads are hung inside of WaitForSingleObject() and WaitForMultipleObjects() calls and the DLL in question appears to be FlexNet-related. I did forget to mention that I also even manually started the FlexNet service in case, for some strange reason, Photoshop was waiting for it to start. That also did not work.
(And there is nothing in the Action Center control panel either despite the message saying there might be more information there.)
Edit: The timestamp above might be a little odd-looking. I didn't originally see anything in Event Viewer until I clicked the first button to send an Error Report. Mostly I just skipped that part of killing a process.

ITunes fails to launch with Windows XP Professional

I transferred my music to a new computer with Windows XP Professional and now iTunes won't work. It was working at first, but now if I open it this error comes up - 'iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience' and then to click to tell Microsoft about the problem. Does anyone know how to fix the problem?
Windows XP Pro

There is a good Apple article on trouble shooting launch failures here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
Before working though it, it is worth making sure that Quicktime launches and works OK. iTunes can't work if Quicktime doesn't.
