LR and Windows 7 Beta?

Has anyone tried Lightroom with Windows 7 Beta yet?
Thanks,
David

Running LR2.2 under Win 7 64-bit and having some problems.
When I zoom in, either the whole photograph or parts of it disappears into the background colour. Sometimes parts of the image turn 90 degrees when I view around while zoomed.
The issue could be related to (probably) shaky Nvidia display drivers as I'd assume they are far from being tested-and-true for a beta release. By the way perfomance feels better on Win 7 than on XP: Sliders react faster and lag less, grid view and preview draw is faster too.
Related system specs if someone is interested:
Asus P5N-SLI
Intel Core2 Duo E6750 2.66Ghz
2Gb DDR2 800 Mhz
Geforce 8600GTS 256Mb

Using J2EE 1.4 Beta 2 on Windows 98 and Windows Me

I know J2EE isn't supported on Windows 98 and Windows Me, but like many others I've been able to get J2EE 1.3.1 and J2EE 1.4 Beta to work quite well on Windows 98 and Windows Me. However, no such luck when I tried to do the same with J2EE 1.4 Beta 2. Basically, after downloading j2eesdk-1_4-beta2-windows-eval-app.zip, extracting it into C:\j2ee_app_win, and double clicking setup.exe (or setup.dos.exe for that matter), the setup GUI doesn't appear. Has anybody gotten passed this point and gotten it to work?

Basically, J2EE 1.4 Beta 2 setup.exe doesn't work on Windows 98 or Windows Me even with 256 MB of memory. You'll see it appear on the task bar and then disappear right away. The setup task keeps running, so you have to kill it with Ctrl-Alt-Del.
However, J2EE 1.4 Beta 2 does work quite well on Windows XP Home Edition even though it's not supported by Sun. So if you don't have Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000, you can at least try it.
For help installing and getting started with J2EE 1.4 Beta 2 on Windows XP, see http://groups.msn.com/J2EETools.

IPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 and Windows 7 x64 USB Driver Issues

Been pulling my hair out with this one for the last week or so and haven't had any luck finding anything on the forums or the web regarding a solution short of a full reinstall of Windows 7 which I am not prepared to do at this time; so hoping someone here can shine some light on this for me
I have a iPhone 5 that is updated to iOS 6.1.4 and a recently built Windows 7 64-bit machine. All of my other USB devices function fine (keyboard, mouse, Xbox 360 wireless receiver for Windows, and a Seagate 2TB external USB drive). I've downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, installed successfully and then attempt to plug in my phone to sync. I get the standard Windows *ding* that I've attached a device and 1 of 2 things happens (I haven't been able to determine what causes one reaction to happen versus the other): Windows will successfully install the 'Apple USB Mobile Device Driver' successfully and it will appear under my USB devices in Device Manager. However - iTunes will not recognize the phone and I cannot see it in Windows either. In the 'Devices and Printers' snap-in my iPhone will appear under 'Unspecified Devices' as the 'Apple USB Mobile Device'. The iTunes diagnostics fail to find a connected device so the tests fail. As soon as I unplug the device, the strangest thing happens: Windows will start trying to install a device driver and after a few seconds it will fail stating that the "MTP Device Driver" installation failed because the device was unplugged. iTunes also thrown an error "iTunes cannot connect to this iPhone" throwing error code 0XE8000065 (I've also seen error code 0XE8000085 as well)
After some finagling, I've managed to get Windows to recognize the device under 'Portable Devices' in Device Manager as an "MTP USB Device" using the generic driver. At this point, I've tried updating the driver and manually specifying the Apple USB driver located in the C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Drivers which updates successfully but then changes the device to "Apple USB Mobile Device" and moves it under the USB Devices in Device Manager; and Windows nor iTunes can see it even still.
I've tried removing iTunes several times and ensuring that all remnants of the installation are gone (registry and folders on the installation drive) and have disconnected all my USB devices short of the keyboard and mouse and still I get the same results. At this point, I'm afraid that a re-install of Windows is going to be the solution; but it's a drastic one (I have a SSD drive where Windows is installed along with all of my games for faster load times/better performance and do not want to have to redownload\reinstall all of them) and I'm not prepared to undertake it at this time, which is why I'm posting here
I've used a utility called USBDeview that sees my phone is connected - so I know from a functional standpoint that my USB ports are good and working. I also know the cable is good too - my daughter's PC (Windows 7 32-bit with NO iTunes) immediately sees the device when I plug it in, installs the drivers, recognizes it as an iPhone and I can then see/browse it in Windows Explorer like I would normally expect. My work PC (Windows 7 64bit, NO iTunes) sees the device just fine as well. I would immensely appreciate anyone that has seen this issue or has any additional solutions I can try.
It's also worth mentioning that I've never used Kapersky antivirus so the UPPERFILTERS value in the registry that I've seen as a solution on some forums is not present on my machine. I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials as my antivirus (no flaming please lol - it meets my needs and is extremely lightweight, which is why I'm using it on a gaming rig) and it's not indicating any issues. I've also tried running iTunes as an administrator (even though my account is a local admin on the machine) and that does not have any effect either.
If there is anything I left out, please let me know; and I thank you in advance!

ITunes and Windows 8 Home Sharing (Possible Fix)

If this fix has been posted elsewhere then I apologize, but I wanted to share what I stumbled on as a possible for for iTunes Home Sharing and Windows 8. I did a lot of port forwarding, both on my router and my Norton firewall, but nothing seemed to help. After a few minutes my Apple TV and iOS devices would stop seeing my iTunes library. The only way to fix it was to reboot the router.
On a whim I looked in my Device Manager and found under Network Adapters a device called Microsoft Kernel Debug Network Adapter. I disabled this, rebooted my computer, and have since no issues with Home Sharing. It's only been a few hours, but that is the longest I've gone since installing Windows 8. I'll look in the morning to see if it still works.
So give this method a try and see what happens. Hopefully it will fix your problems.

Here are the three steps I took to get Home Sharing working successfully on Apple TV. This has worked for the better part of a week so hopefully it will work well for others.
In your software firewall create two new Inbound Rules. Open port 3689 (TCP) and port 5353 (UDP) to All Programs.
If your hard drive goes to sleep after a certain period, be sure to change to something greater than 30 min. (Control Panel -> Power Options -> Change Plan Settings -> Change Advanced Power Settings -> Hard disk -> Turn off hard disk after -> Setting)
On your Apple TV change when it goes to sleep. I changed mine to 10 hours.
This seems to keep the connection alive. On occassion it will look like it gets stuck loading, but just let it go. At some point it wil kick on. If you generates a connection error just try loading the media again and it should start.

RemoteFX and windows 8.1

Hello,
I am currently running a VDI environment with server 2012 servers including a RDCB, RDVH, RDSH, RDWA and windows 8 clients. I am using remoteFX on the windows 8 clients with the help of 3 nvidia Quadro 6000 cards. RemoteFX works perfectly in windows 8; however,
I built a windows 8.1 VM and remote FX will not work in this VM. When I log on to the vm and look under device manager the remoteFX device is listed but it gives an error of 43. All of the vm's have one monitor set in the remoteFX settings. In the event viewer
of the windows 8.1 VM I am getting an error under RemoteDesktop Services vGPU-kModeDriver "The virtual GPU synthetic devie failed" and the other accompanying error is "The RDVGM kernal mode driver failed to start" I have removed all of
the windows 8 VM's to confirm that all of the available memory of the GPU was not used and this didn't get any different results. The only difference I see is that one guest os is windows 8 and the other is 8.1. Does remoteFX not work in windows 8.1 by chance?
Both OS's are Enterprise as well.
Thanks for any help,
Scott

Hi Scott,
Sorry for the late.
I think the edition of win8 VM that has been enabled RemoteFX is enterprise .
(To use RemoteFX , guest os on hyper-v host should be enterprise edition )
For details please refer to following link:

Reader and Windows 8.1 FULL SCREEN?

Is there a way to view a document in Reader and Windows 8.1 other than on FULL SCREEN. In previous versions, I could look at a.pdf file while working on another file on my computer screen. This allowed me to get info from the .pdf file and input into the other program.

It might be that you're viewing with an app written to Microsoft's new and exciting "modern" interface which is always full screen. Apparently it's much better and more exciting.
Microsoft Reader comes with Windows 8 and runs that way. Adobe also offer "Adobe Reader Touch" which runs that way.
Some of us old dinosaurs who think it might be neat to arrange multiple apps so we can do more than one thing at once like to run the "legacy" apps like Adobe Reader.

Windows 8.1 something happened and windows 8.1 Pro couldn't be installed.

After the release of windows 8.1 preview I attempted the installation of 8.1 preview which failed. I decided it wasn't worth the bother until it was officially released so I left it uninstalled.
After the official release of 8.1 yesterday I opened the store on my windows 8 PC and I was presented with the Windows 8.1 download. I selected this and attempted to install. this failed with the message "Something happened and Windows 8.1 Preview
failed to install" Whoops!
I clearly hadn't done my windows updates to update the store so I ran these updates and in my windows store was the Official windows 8.1 download.
Once downloaded it then fails saying "Something happened and windows 8.1 Pro couldn't be installed Please try again Error Code 0x80070003"
now im stuck with that. is there a way I can clear the downloaded files and have the store re-download them? where are the stores downloads kept?
im really stuck with this one....

Hi,
This error code means that the specified path couldn't be found.
To fix this issue, I suggest we try following steps and try to reinstall again:
Step 1: Clean update temp files:
1. Press Windows key + R, type service.msc and press enter.
2. Stop Windows update service.
3. Run following command lines one by one to clear update temp files:
cd %windir%
ren SoftwareDistribution SDTemp
exit
4. Restart Windows update service.
Step 2: Clear windows store catch:
Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.
Type WSReset.exe, and click/tap on OK.
The Store will now open, and state the following: The cache for the store was cleared. You can now browse the store for apps
Then, please try to update Windows 8.1 again.

Kate Li

Silverlight and Windows 8.1 is not working

Hi,
I'm trying to get horizon.tv (by UPC) in The Netherlands working, and on Windows 7 it works, but on Windows 8.1 it simply doesn't work! Very strange, because Silverlight and Windows 8 are both from Microsoft!
I've tried starting Firefox, Chrome and IE from the desktop, but it all fails.
I have downloaded the latest Silverlight; it installed automatic, and further all is up to date.
What is going wrong?
Maarten van Loon
The Netherlands

Hi,
Sorry to hear about the issue you are experiencing.
Pease try change the Compatibility view Settings as below steps.
1. open Desktop IE >go to "horizon.tv"
2. select Tools > compatibility view > add site in box
3. checked on"Display intranet sites in Compatibility View" and "Use Microsoft Compatibility Lists"
4. restart IE
If that doesn't help, please try installing this update
KB2901549 which may resolve the issue, if all these no help, please try to use the
MS "Fix-It"
to uninstalled and reinstalled Silverlight again.

Jambor

HP ENVY H8 Series Issues w/ Drives & Explorer, and Windows

Hello all,
I purchased the computer brand new, and have had intermediant problems throughout its life. The wi-fi card in this computer is garbage (it is now hard-wired, being the only true solution) and the Windows installation seemed a bit buggy, but I let that slide since it may have been Microsoft's fault. (it has improved w/ updates)
My major issues I keep constantly notice after years of installing updates is that my taskbar will disappear and windows explorer will restart at random. Additionally, I have multiple media drive ports on the front (CF, SD, xD, Pro Duo, etc) and it has been giving me issues with reading SD cards. Before my SD card is blamed, I have 4 of them and they all perform perfectly in the cameras they are in. The computer does not have problems getting data off of the card after its read it intially, but in order for it to recognize that I've inserted an SD card - I have to go into Device Manager and select the SD card under the Drives section. Once it pops up (sometimes it hesitates a few seconds before doing so), the properties window shows up with no prompting errors cited. At this point, the SD card magically appears in the Explorer window like normal. I've gotten used to this practice and have the Device Manager shortcuted to my Desktop. Yes, the LED indicator does light when the SD card is physically inserted into the slot, but the computer seems to be on deaf ears about it. Either way, these are small problems with likely Software... but I figured I'd ask since they bother me occasionally when I need to just get something off the SD card quickly or am trying to quickly print out something. It has gotten better with updates however, but these issues just simply haven't been addressed, and I feel they won't be.
Specs:
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Intel i5 Processor (i5-3350P Model @ 3.10GHz)
~10GB RAM (per System Properties)
1.79TB HDD, w/ 332GB Free
Uses: Video Editing/Encoding , Occasional PC Gaming , Internet/Home Use

Joshua

Hp g62 and windows 8.1- rebooting loop

Hi,
I have a hp g62-b16st. It's a remarketed product with Intel core i3 2,4, 500GB HDD, 4gb RAM, integrated Intel HD graphics and dedicated ATI Mobility Radeon card (5470 hd I believe). This setting worked pretty well with 64-bit Windows 7 but recently I switched to windows 8.1 64-bit and now my hp isn't working. From what I gathered dedicated graphics drivers seem to be a problem. After installing updates, computer started to reboot itself continuosly. I restored windows to the state right after system installation and tried again- the same thing happened. Then I tried to install drivers from ATI- Catalyst Control Center didn't work. Every time I tried to install it (I downloaded multiple files, older and newer) I got the same failure of loading driver package. Then I found BETA drivers (amd-catalyst-14.6-rc2-windows-june23) and the restarting loop stoped but only due to the fact that ATI graphics weren't working properly and windows switched automaticaly to integrated Intel graphics.
That was all yesterday. Today, some update got downloaded and asked to restart my computer. when booting windows it said it is installing updates and I should wait for it to finish. Once it said 100% it started with the loop again. In safe mode I found out that windows figured out it is a good idea to install different driver that seems to be recognized as properly working one. And now the restarting loop is back. So I uninstalled that driver and disabled ATI graphic card for now but honestly I have no idea how to make win 8.1 work.
Oh, and I checked in BIOS- there is nothing I can do about it there.
Is there a way to make both graphic card and integrated graphics work on windows 8.1? If not, is there a way to turn ATI graphics entirely off?
cheers,
Martin

Hi Vanscin,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP G62-b16ST Notebook and graphics not working correctly. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant, The HP Support Assistant will do the updates for you. I would check the Microsoft Compatibility Center. Some systems are not able to update drivers for Windows 8. You could try this driver.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

External Drive for OSX and Windows

Dear all,
I read somwhere that it is possible to use an external HD which can be used as an intermediate for documents between a PowerMac and Windows 2000 computer.
The article suggested that when using the Disk Utility program of Apple, the Ext. HD should be erased using the MS-Dos modus. This I did. After that it mentioned that by clicking on the Partion tab, under the "Option" button MS-DOS file structure should be selected.
However my DU program says: "No Options Available".
I'm still using OS 10.3.9 and I will upgrade when OS 10.5 becomes available.
Question: Why is the "Options" button not available? If this is because of using 10.3.9 how can I bypass the option and make the Windows computer see the External HD as well?
Thanks for your input,
Hans.

For now, while you need 10.4.6 to select GUID partition table, you can still setup a drive with FAT32 partitions. Format it on Windows perhaps.
Disk Utility -> Partitions -> Options....
GPL/GUID for Intel Macs
APL for PowerPC
Master Record Block for Windows
With Intel Macs you can install and run Windows XP SP2, Vista, XP Pro.
Hans, right now is probably the best time to update the OS. Tiger 10.4.9 is as complete as possible probably and esp. for PPC Macs. I think it runs better than 10.3.9 did.
While 10.5 will offer something different and new, the best time to upgrade is not when it is released sometimes, but rather once it reaches 10.5.3+ (ie, a year from now or later). Play and test it but depend on it 100%? Usually there are needed changes to software and hardware to "catch up."
Right now Tiger DVD 10.4.6 are available. Apple felt it worth putting out newer DVDs.

HELP - Remote Desktop and Windows? Is it possible? I need your thoughts...

I am currently trying to set up a connection between my MacBook and my Windows XP PC. I have Leopard 10.5.3 and Windows XP. I want to set up the connection to my PC so I can use my Remote Desktop to control/observe/receive files from my PC to my MacBook. So far its been going well, I was searching on Google for some answers, and I read something about VNC Viewer and Remote Desktop. I am not sure how this works but I just want Remote Desktop to work with my PC. So I was just wondering if anyone here can help me out, or if anyone here has any suggestions/ideas. Thanks.

You've probably figured this out by now, but you can't use Remote Desktop with XP Home. It only works with XP Pro. As a free alternative, you should be able to run a VNC server on the XP machine, and a VNC client on the Mac, and access that way. A brief decription can be found here: http://lifehacker.com/software/feature/geek-to-live--how-to-control-your-home-co mputer-from-anywhere-125607.php (Ignore the parts about opening ports on your router to the internet--this is best used only on local network, unless you get more complicated.) If you do want access over the net, perhaps its better to go with a commercial service such as pcAnywhere or GoToMyPC is an easier route.

Alchemy and Windows 7 post Service Pack 1

Is anyone having a problem using Creative's Alchemy application for restoring 3d hardware acceleration for old games in windows 7 AFTER installing Service Pack 1?
I have had very good luck in the past when using Alchemy under 32 or 64 bit versions of Vista and Windows 7. I no longer can make it function now and I was curious if anybody else had similar results before/after service pack 1 for Windows 7.
Thanks.

Have you try using the beta version of the Creative ALchemy Beta .43.06

Firefox 4b2 and Windows 7, multiple tabs shows up as windows in OS-taskbar

I have been using Firefox on my Windows 7 based computer (Ultimate x64) and I didn't experience this when using v3.6 and earlier versions. But ever since I updated to v4 (beta 1 and now beta 2), I have noticed that when I have multiple tabs open in Firefox, it shows up as Windows in Windows 7-taskbar... If I hover the pointer over to, and place it above the Firefox Icon (or click it), a LOOOOOooonng list shows up with each tab.. But that wasn't the case when using v3.6 for example, instead, each window showed up, but the tabs didn't show until I opened the actual Firefox-window, and this is exactly how I would like it to be.. I have been searching with lights and without finding any answer/s, search the settings-tab and other locations where this feature might show up, but I can't seem to find it, Im completely out of ideas and I need your help.
Best regards // Martin Johansson, Sweden
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== When I updated from v3.6 to v4 Beta 1, and now also with beta 2

You need to change a hidden setting.
Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter.
Accept the warning dialog that appears.
This brings up a list of preferences, in the filter box type '''taskbar'''
Double-click on the preference called '''browser.taskbar.previews.enable''' to change its value to '''false'''
