Long delay with disk activity while opening a project

It takes a long time to open a project.  It stalls at "Estimated Time Remaining:".  I can see a lot of disk activitiy.
If it's been a long time, maybe it's updating its cache.  But this also happens for project I opened yesterday.
What is Encore doing?  Is there anything I missed in setting?
Thanks

I assume you are CS5.5.
In CS5, I had this issue with only one of many dynamic link sequences. I could work around it by opening that project in PR.
Do you have a dynamic link sequence in the problem projects?

  • When attempting to edit a project in the PWA I receive the error: 'An error occurred while opening your project. Give us a few minutes and try again...' Project Server 2013

    Hello,
    I am hoping someone can assist with the error we are encountering when trying to edit a project from the PWA in Project Server 2013.  I can click on the project name and go to the detail page and I can
    click and see the schedule.  However, if I click on a task in the schedule and attempt to edit it, I receive the following error:
    'An error occurred while opening your project. Give us a few minutes and try again. If this happens again, contact your administrator.'
    At this point I must click cancel twice to get rid of the error pop-up message.  At this point, I am no longer able to look
    at the schedule of the project either.  Can someone assist with this issue?
    Thanks

    Appaji,
    My guess is the file is corrupt. But first, let's make sure you have SP2 installed. It appears from the version number above that you do not. You can download SP2 at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2687457. I also recommend you install the June 2013 cumulative
    update. You can get that at: http://support2.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=2817385&kbln=en-us.
    If after installing the updates you still cannot open the file, go to the MVP website at, http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm and take a look at FAQ 43. Use method 4.
    Hope this helps.

  • Computer unresponsive with disk activity, even when disk is USB

    Hi,
    I've always had issues with responsiveness with Linux when there is disk activity (several distro's, same hardware), whereas a Windows XP installation reacts very snappily. When I have a torrent client open, Mplayer keeps hanging a few times a minute (even more often when the download is going fast (2 MB/s)).
    Recently I migrated to ext4 in the hopes that would fix it, but it didn't. It's also not something as simple as a DMA issue (because it's SATA). Disk throughput is about 80 MB/s, which is OK.
    Anyway, currently, I'm performing this on a USB disk:
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc1 bs=10M
    And even then the computer is almost unusable, which it shouldn't be, because the internal disks are not used for this. And some time back when I was copying an AVI to a USB stick, it was utterly unusable.
    Maybe it's a driver issue, because I can't imagine the normal schedulers being so horrible, but I can't say.
    My disk controller can't be accessed with AHCI (there is no 'native' option in the BIOS), yet NCQ is enabled:
    # dmesg|grep -i ncq
    [ 1.313605] ata3.00: 2930275055 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32)
    [ 1.800338] ata4.00: 2930277168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32)
    [ 2.324738] ata6.00: 488395055 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32)
    I have kernel 3.1.1-1-ARCH, so I should have the 'wonder patch'.
    Hardware:
    CPU: Athlon X2 3800+ (2GHz dual core).
    RAM: 2 GB DDR400 RAM.
    Chipset: Nvidia nForce 4 ultra.
    Disks (in MD RAID1): 2 WDC WD15EARS-00Z5B1 (disks have changed over the years) and 1 Seagate disk (which contains windows and is spun down in Linux, to prevent noise).
    I disabled the (self-destructing) head parking feature of the caviar green disks with WDidle by setting the timeout to max (disabling the head parking with WDidle actually lets it trigger constantly, that's why I chose this way).

    Anybody know what might be causing this?

    I recently tried to play around with the schedulers and I found out that using "deadline" for my internal drives, "cfq"  for my optical drive and "noop" for everything else. I tried copying a load of small files on my USB flashdrive while playing a movie from the optical drive and the system felt very responsive.
    I've been playing some more, and you're right in that it seems that with the internal disks at deadline, the system is a lot more responsive. Previously, I put the external disk I was zeroing at deadline too, but that (I know now) made it worse again.
    I run a 3.2-rc5 kernel which seems to help considerably though.
    Has there been any specific change in that kernel to cause that?
    BTW, I noticed that the NCQ queue on your drives is of 0 length, try setting it o 31 like this (as root).
    I always wondered about the NCQ queue. In pages about NCQ that I found, the dmesg also reported a queue of 0. I just always figured it meant how many commands it currently had, being zero at boot time.
    When I do "cat /sys/block/sda/device/queue_depth" it always says one, regardless of disk activity.

  • Long delays with BI Office and many Excel cell comments

    Hello,
    We experience long delays in Excel spreadsheets that have many cell comments when opening, switching between, saving, or closing the spreadsheet with BI Office add-in installed. Uninstall the plugin and the delay goes away. It appears the plugin scans through all cell comments at specific times, whether there is OBIEE embedded content or not. I would estimate the spreadsheets have hundreds of comments. This basically kills usability to the point that people prefer to not install the add-in.
    We are using 10.1.3.4.0. The problem exists on both Excel 2003 and 2007.
    Other than "don't use cell comments", has anyone found a solution or workaround to this problem?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Thanks Michael.  Sorry about oversight... running Windows XP.
    Realizing not the best place to grouse... but seems not too swift to have software not backward compatible.
    I'll go back to Reader 9 if I can find the install.

  • Long delay with space key

  • Activesync - long delays in email delivery while roaming / local activesync log on BB10-device?

    Hi,
    A couple of our users are experiencing serious delays in email delivery on their BDS-controlled Z10s while roaming. With "serious" I mean delays in the magnitude of hours. This is something however that purely relates to Z10 and the way message sync is done (activesync)
    Since we've got both legacy (OS7) devices and BB10-devices on our network I can confirm that email delivery on the legacy devices happens instantly while BB10-devices experience the above mentioned delays when roaming.
    So here are my questions:
    Anybody else experiencing this problem (I saw a post under BB10 automatic sync not working while roaming in US mentioning US roaming problems, but in our case it's Europe and travelling between European countries)
    Is there a way to get an activesync-log from the Z10s itself showing dates/times of activesync and error-messages respectively? (Afaik the phone has an end-to-end-connection to the activesync/exchange server) - on other platforms (IOS, Androids) you can find a local activesync log on the smartphone so I'm positive that something like this must be present on BB10 too.
    Any known cure - or at least an idea how to track this down?
    Thanks much in advance for any clue
    -bblacksheep

    I don't know if my situation is related or not, but I have (since Friday) been experiencing delays with Gmail on my Z10. However, it's not universal. I have 9 Gmail accounts, and only a subset are affected by delays, while others receive everything immediately. They are all integrated via ActiveSync, and delivery elsewhere (e.g., Outlook client, Gmail webmail inteface) is not affected.
    If the problem affected all of my Gmail accounts the same, I might believe that the problem is with BB or my carrier services. But, since it's only affecting a subset, I instead believe my issues to be rooted at Google. Given all they have recently done to alienate the BB platform, I'm actually not terribly surprised either.
    Note that no roaming is involved...this is on home network carrier and also almost completely on WiFi. No changes have been made to the configuration...but this behavior started suddenly on Friday. Eventually, everything gets delivered and reconciled...but on some accounts, the delay is quite large.
    If your issues can be narrowed down so as to truly know a root cause, and that root cause results in being something in the BB device, OS, or infrastructure, then you need to contact your mobile service provider for formal support and potential escalation up to BlackBerry for enhanced support.
    Good luck!

  • Clearing recent history causes very long delay with message "a script has stopped responding"

    When I take option to "Clear Recent History" from tools dropdown, there is a very long delay EVERY TIME, followed by this message:
    A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
    Script: chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:136
    This happens even when Javascript has been disabled. This problem first appeared just after installing Firefox version 4.0
    I can proceed to "Clear Recent History" only by again clicking that option after taking option to stop non responding script.

    I have resolved the problem (for now) by uninstalling Firefox 4.0 and reinstalling Firefox 3.6. When 4.1 becomes available I will try 4 again.

  • Problems with Premier Elements 7 Opening Earlier Projects

    I have used Premier Elements 3 to create many 15-60 minute videos, most built from Photoshop Elements slide shows imported into Premier, and most with DVD output designed. After installing Version 7, I attempted to open these projects which it is supposed to do. A minority will open fine. The balance either cause the error "The project cannot be loaded - it may be damaged or contain outdated elements".
    Does anyone else have these types of problems? I have tried all of the various methods outlined in the KB, like deleting preferences, etc., removing and re-installing, booting with nothing else loaded, etc. Nothing has any impact. I have talked to Adobe support and they are clueless and just walk me through the usual install/uninstall, etc. can anyone help? I have an enormous investment in time in these 3.0 videos and I bought Version 7 to upgrade and now it does not work! Thanks.

    Just a thought....
    How are you opening the Premiere Elements 3 project in Premiere Elements 7?
    According to the Adobe party line Premiere Elements 7 PDF, you can open projects created in earlier versions of Premiere Elements in Premiere Elements 7, but you cannot open projects created in Premiere Elements 7 in earlier versions.
    Do you have Premiere Elements 3 and 7 on the same computer at this time?
    The Adobe suggestions is, if problems in this regard and instead of right clicking the project file in its saved location, then:
    1. open the project from with Premiere Elements 7
    or
    2. right click the project file in its saved location and name Premiere Elements 7 as the Open With program
    Check it out to see if I have interpreted this info correctly

  • Première Eléments crashes while opening a project

    Hello,
    I recently moved from Première Eléments 4 to Prel 10. I then open an older project saved with Prel 4 (Duration about 1h30). I was obliged to do a new complete rendering wich was very slow. Then i tried to modify the project inserting a new title : crash with a message concerning "runtime error". I tried a second time, same result. I then uninstalled Prel 10, clean memory and register with Ccleaner, and reinstall Prel 10 and also the try version of Photoshop 10 which is on the same DVD. Now, it's impossible to open my project ! Prel opens, loads the project, starts to load all files and rendered files ( which is very slow !) and after about 3 minutes, before ending the load, crashes.

  • AE CS6 freezes while opening a project file

    Hi, I have been working on a project for past three days and this morning when I try to open the project, AE CS6 freezes at 66percent. And my MAC stops responding too. I need to force shut AE to get back in order.
    This is what I have already tried:
    - Renaming the project file. No go
    - Opening the project in another installation of AE. No go
    - Importing the file in another new project. No go
    Note that the last work I did in that project was using the dynamic link between AE and premier pro. I imported a premier pro sequence into AE, put it onto an AE composition and color corrected some footage. Then I imported the AE composition into PP and exported the final movie. This morning when I try to open the AE project where I imported the PP sequence, I am unable to do so.
    Could this be that the dynamic link has a bug that caused a memory issues?
    Please help me troubleshoot !!!
    Thanks

  • [875P Neo Series] 875P NEO FIS2R - Bootup delay with disk attached to Promise RAID

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my 875P NEO FIS2R mobo. I just added a 400GB SATA RAID-0 array to the Promise controller and now I get a 50 second bootup delay after the BIOS has run through everything and beeped and before the first WinXP splash screen.
    I boot up from a 160GB SATA RAID-0 array on the intel ICH5R controller. Both arrays work fine from within Windows. I have two DVD drives on the ICH5R PATA connection but nothing else on the Promise.
    If I disable the Promise controller in BIOS the delay goes away.
    I have tried disabling SMART, turning off the quick-boot option with no effect.
    When I first installed my system I tested performance with booting from a single SATA drive on ICH5R vs Promise and I noticed the same issue, but didn't care then because I only needed one disk so I just kept Promise disabled in BIOS.
    Any ideas how I can get around this?
    Regards,
    Jonathan

    Sorry I have been a away for a few days.
    Details requested...

    If the Promise controller was out of the picture (Disabled), and you have the SCSI adaptor and its devices setup:
    1. What is the adaptor's SCSI ID?
    7
    Quote
    2. List devices, position in the chain and their corresponding SCSI ID's.
    #7 Adaptec 2930CU card
    #4 Nikon Coolscan LS30 scanner
    #3 Umax Astra 1220S scanner
    #5 Iomega ZIP 100 drive
    Quote
    3. What type of terminination are you using?
    Adaptec card has auto-termination.
    ZIP drive has a termination connector attached.
    Quote
    4. Are the devices in the chain functioning properly?
    Yes.
    Quote
    I agree that your problem is your SCSI controller. There may not be anything actually wrong with it. The 2930 was an agressive controller card and its BIOS simply may not coexist with your motherboard's BIOS optimally. Even with the BIOS disabled, it may be competing with the motherboard's request for handlers.
    You may want to check to see if there is a BIOS update on Adaptec's website. Adaptec usually released 1 or 2 updates for each SCSI generation they produced. It may or may not help but we need to make sure you have the latest BIOS released.
    Unfortunately, this card cannot be reflashed.
    Quote
    At any rate, I think you have found the component which is responsible for the delay. I'm willing to assist in diagnosing the issue but I need you to provide the specific information I'm requesting.
    Also, try to do a CTRL-Pause to catch exactly what the BIOS version is and any other information which is showing up with the BIOS disabled. The SCSI adaptor BIOS, in fact, should not be enabled in your SCSI configuration as you have described thus far.
    Adaptec AHA 2930CU SCSI BIOS v1.34.1.
    There seems to be a difference between BIOS and host adapter BIOS. You always get the BIOS screen, but you can disable the host adapter BIOS if it is not required.
    I am pretty sure it is not the SCSI chain that is wonr because the pause happens with nothing connected to the card.
    Jonathan
