More Windows 7 issues

Hi Folks,
1. The Lenovo site suggests uninstalling ThinkPad Power Manager - this hangs during uninstall from the Control Panel window with a blank screen.
2. ThinkVantage Access Connection - this returned the following message - "The setup must update files or services that cannot be updated while the system is running."?
Any help would be most appreciated.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Go to start- Computer double click on C: SW preload,double click on DRIVERS,double click on VISTA,double on ACCON,double click on setup. This will reinstall Access Connections and see if that helps with the uninstall problem. This how it is for a T500. If you have to you can always download from Lenovo and reinstall also. Hope this helps. However when I do my install I'm going to do a clean install on a formatted hard drive using the upgrade disc so that'll eliminate uninstalling anything.

NOTE: I no longer have sound problems even if the processor is 100% due to other applications running.

Well, I must rescind my previous enthusiasm. Yesterday I could not make the noise reappear after following the instructions I posted. I ran graphics-intensive applications. I ran cpu-hog programs. Nothing caused the the noise to come back.
Today, as you have probably guessed, it's back. Not as frequently, but still back.
I did notice one interesting thing. I was taking screenshots of the Windows task manager this morning try and determine if I saw any pattern to the noise. I pasted them into a light-weight viewer (Polyview) that I use when I just want to crop something and don't want to wait for Photoshop to come up.
1. Take the screenshot.
2. Paste into Polyview.
3. Noise stops.
4. Take the screenshot.
5. Paste into Polyview. Immediately the noise comes back.
6. Screenshot and Paste again. Noise stops. etc.
This at leasts suggests that display of graphics has something to do with the issue. Perhaps the video card?
Oh, well, at least the situation is tolerable now.

Firefox not responding, seems like other browser is hijacking inquiry, will not let me reset, states cannot reset because one or more windows are open

when i type in a search, firefox says it's not responding. Although firefox still showing not responding I am taken to websites that I did not request. I tried to reset firefox but it said there is a problem because one or more windows tabs are open even though they are not.
What is cloudnet? just one of the items that pops up on the bottom right of the screen during my search

Getting redirected to unwanted websites can be caused by an add-on, or by external malware, or by a change to your connection settings.
(1) Check Extensions
(A) In Firefox:
Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. Or if it's clearly crap, remove.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
(B) In the Windows Control Panel
If there is no remove button on the Add-ons page, typically the extension was installed externally and can be removed through the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program.
If you click the "Installed on" column heading to group the entries by date, you may find some undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some free software. Take out as much trash as possible.
(2) Malware scans
Our support article lists free tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. If you notice a pattern of search engine result links being diverted to unrelated pages, this can be a stubborn infection involving a rootkit, so try the TDSS Killer first.
(3) Connection settings
Normally Firefox piggybacks on your IE connection settings. You can change that (or malware might have changed it). To view and modify:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
Change to "No proxy" and see whether that makes any difference.

AppleMobileDeviceHelper Crash on Mac - forums only talk about this being a windows issue
It happens on my iMac with my iPhone

I noticed several permissions changes after the last install of iTunes.
Launch Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility) and run the permissions repair routine on your hard drive. Then run verify disk. If any error is reported by the verify disk routine, restart your computer while holding down the Shift key. This will boot you into Safe Mode. The restart will take longer than normal, as diagnostic and repair routines are taking place. When the Finder shows up, restart normally. Then try your CD again.

From that article:
Belfiore did officially acknowledge some of the coming Windows 10 under-the-cover features that were disclosed early in a Microsoft blog post which was later pulled —such as the fact
a Microsoft Account won't be required for login (users will be able to use Azure Active Directory for single sign-on instead).
Is there seriously any possibility that a true local account won't be possible?
That's "last straw" material. Microsoft needs to be careful.

Load More Messages issues

I saw some posts about load more messages issues, but nothing seems to be the same as my problem. I'm new to iPhone, so I must be missing something obvious.
I was looking at my emails this morning and deleted all but 5. I responded to an email, but didn’t send because I forget change the server port for outgoing mail that our server requires. So I went into settings and changed the port. I went back to my inbox but can no longer see the messages I saved, instead there's an option that says “Load More Messages” with a note below it stating “5 messages total, 0 unread”. I have no other emails in my inbox. When I click Load More Messages, nothing happens. I can’t figure out how to get to those emails. I tried cycling the power on the iphone, that didn’t help.
I'm getting new messages normally. My mail is set to show 25 recent messages. Even if I change this, it still displays the "Load More Messages". As an extreme test, I set it to show 200 recent messages, went back to my inbox, hit the "Load More Messages" option, but that didn't help. What's more, I have a full signal and I'm running 3G.

Hey man, your problem sounds similar to the one I'm having. I can't load more messages on both of my email accounts. But I think I might have figured out the problem. I recently re-installed my hotmail account and when I was looking through my,"Unread" inbox the, "Load more messages" command was working just fine. So I was continuing to go through my messages to make them read (because if your like me, I don't like to have any messages, "Unread." So when all my messages were read there was about 80 in total, and my setting was set to show the 25 most recent. So I backed out of the mail app, did a few more things and came back hoping that there would only be 25 showing with 0 unread and the ability to load more if i wished. Well, there was 25 showing but the box with the load more messages command was gone and no matter how many times I tried to refresh it would not come back.
So my theory is this; there always has to be an unread message in your inbox for the load more messages to work. Sorry about the long post. I'm going to test this theory out, knowing my luck, it won't work at all. Good luck bro!
Peace.

After one more Windows update Firefox became VERY heavy - worse than IE (search has no paging any more - just 1 gigantic list of things, etc). Any solutions?

My notebook is 5 years old, but works good and I dont want to change it now. Yet, the more Window updates I do the HEAVIER is the work with web browsers.
I gave up on IE and switched to Firefox because it was much lighter for a long time. But since a few days ago even simple image search with Firefox gets up to 200 000 kb of my CPU (just like IE used to do) compared with 100 000kb with the very same Firefox just a couple of months before. And so, Firefox now slows my computer enormously.
Is there any way lighter versions of Firefox or some way firefox can recognize older computers that can't tackle so much of weight? Or perphaps uninstalling some plug-ins will help?
Example - things like searching for Video or Images, which, since recently, bring pageless results, where you scroll down forever, slows my computer a lot....
ps. I really don't believe it is a virus.

Tsiqa,
Try FF4 it's miles qucker the 3.6.*. I loaded FF4 because 3.6.13 was so slow. Also try removing it and re-installing (3.6.13). There are still some sites that won't fully work with FF4, that's why I'm still running both.

BT 3.1 - No more windows 7 startup sound

Hey there Apple forums!
I decided to install Windows 7 on my Mac a while ago. I had Bootcamp 3.0 and all the problems related to audio that BT 3.0 had, including the red optical light. Once BT 3.1 was released, I decided to install it. Notice how I hadn't changed any driver from Bt 3.0 until I installed 3.1.
Once I installed the update, most audio problems were immediately solved. No more ghostly red optical light, no more laggy audio, etc. Audio output was still low, but nothing "Enchance audio output" couldn't solve. I was seemingly happy, until i realized that the windows 7 startup sound played no more.
By startup sound I mean the chime that plays when you're in the login screen. This is a very small glitch, as it used to work in Bt 3.0, even with the audio issues it had.
Is there any solution? And before you begin asking protocol questions, yes, the startup sound IS enabled, yes I have the default Windows sounds set, I haven't changed the theme (don't know if that even matters, it shouldn't matter).
If it helps, when i connect two low speakers to the audio output jack and start Windows, and raise the volume, I CAN hear the startup chime in the login screen. But there's not even a faint sound when the external speakers are gone.
Should anyone know a solution, please help me with a post. And the speakers I have suck, so they're not an option.

Hi
Had same problem, tried everything like reinstalling drivers but still the problem continued. However today i tried changing the driver for the sound card to the generic driver and rebooted my macbook pro. on startup the sound card would not work on the generic driver and the system kicked in with an automatic troubleshoot and installed the correct drivers.
Somehow this has enabled the startup sound to work and the system doesn't startup in a muted state.
Haven't a clue why or how this has worked or how long it will continue to work but give it a go.

Can Anyone Help? Upgrade with Windows Issue

I bought my daughter a Ipod nano for Christmas this past year (2005). Everything worked great until the new 6.0 upgrade. We downloaded the upgrade last week and it was completed successfully. Yet when I go to my desktop and try to go to the site I get nothing at all. I can't even access the itunes site. Can't even access it through apple.com. I get the download message. I spent hours on the phone with apple trying to figure out the problem. Uninstalled and reinstalled the whole thing several times. Even went back to my original CD that came with the ipod and still get message that I need to upgrade. I was told
( by an apple rep) I have to do a msconfig start up on my computer for the upgrade to work on Windows. Upon doing that I can access my library but access to store is denied. I called apple again and was told they have no idea what is going on but it has to do with the upgrade and windows. I was basically told I may want to consider selling my Ipod, by a apple tech. Is anyone else having this problem. I just want to know how to get the upgrade using windows xp and be able to use it without having to msconfig start and then still not be able to access anything.
I have tried everything, from shutting down my firewall, anitvirus to rebooting my computer back to before I ever put Itunes in it since I was unable to un-install it with the add/remove on my computer.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to get this to work with windows? It would be greatly appreciated since I have a few friends also having the same issues. Thanks

Don't give up yet. At this point I would suggest cleaning your system with ipod and itunes software and reinstall. I know you tried this before but I'm going to give you more detailed instructions. Please read them carefully first before doing them and ask questions if you don't understand them. Also don't skip anything and be careful to not skip part of a step.
1. Uninstall itunes and ipod software
2. Reboot your PC
3. Re-download the itunes installer and QT and save this installer to your desktop
4. Go to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations. You should see folders like {06EB3288-C5F4-4C73-8EEE-AC798668FF66}
5. Look in each of these folders for itunes.msi and delete the folder. Be careful to only delete the folders containing itunes.msi
6. Clean out your the following folders, Delete as much as you can in these folders except for the folders Cookies, History, Temporary Internet Files.
a. C:\windows\temp (if one exists)
b. C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp
Sometimes installers will pick up old files or won’t delete their temporary files.
Also delete c:\program files\itunes & c:\program files\ipod
7. Go to http://www.download.com/3000-2094-881470.html and download the regcleaner. Unpack it and run it. This is a nice utility that will delete broken registry entries and create a file with them. This way if it deletes anything needed you can add it back. Note I never had to do this with using it for many years. Also it doesn't list XP but you'll be fine. I run XP on both.
8. Reboot your PC.
9. It wouldn't hurt to scan your PC for viruses at this point.
10. Now try to go and install everything again. I'd do QT first then follow with itunes. Remember to disable virus/firewall/privacy/web accelerators before launching the install.
You don't have to try the QT if you don't want to but if you do make sure you do it first before itunes and ipod software.
I hope this helps! Let me know what happens.

Box inside Main window issue in Scripts

I have issue in placing a box inside the main window. I would like to display text with a box frame at end of the line items.
I tried creating seperate FOOTER window in the Last page, but it dint work as expected, since if the line items ended in the first page then the LAST page did not trigger and one more complication was if there were 4 pages, then there was blank window (FOOTER) in 2 pages and it looks ugly.
I tried putting the box frame by using text element, calling after the end of the line items. The text displayed as needed, but the frame was misaligned.
Kindly help me. Thanks in advance.
Have a great weekend.

Raj,
Try to find out which text element is trigerring after the line items text element while debuging the script and then place the box code in that text element.
regards.

Closing TextEdit window issue

(*Generally, this script appears to do everything I want except . . . if TextEdit is already launched when the script is run, then the "saving no" added to the close command (at end of script, below) is ignored. If TextEdit is not already launched when the script is run, then the "saving no" is honored. Ideas? There's also a less important question at line 5.*)
set T to "Please read these instructions . . ."
set LAUNCHstatus to ""
set _WsTE to ""
try
set LAUNCHstatus to do shell script "lsof / | grep TextEdit.app" --(>>faster way for single app?)
end try
try
set _WsTE to windows of application "TextEdit"
end try
tell application "TextEdit"
if LAUNCHstatus is not "" and _WsTE is not "" then make new document
activate
set name of front window to "INSTRUCTIONS"
set _WsTE to windows of application "TextEdit"
set _WTE to item 1 of _WsTE

end if
end tell
tell application "TextEdit"
close _WTE saving no --<<IF SCRIPT IS STARTED WITH TextEdit not launched, this works correctly. BUT IF SCRIPT IS STARTED WITH TextEdit launched, there is a prompt for a save.
end tell

Hi kel,
The "set was_running" clause you substituted is certainly a more effiecient (faster) way of determining launch status.
And your script certainly seems to solve the "close saving no" issue (although I still don't understand why the original script does this).
Turns out there is still another issue that I hadn't detected (occurs with both my original script and your script):
If when the script is run TextEdit is already launched and has pre-existing documents which have been hidden (hidden, not minimized), then upon running the script all of those hidden documents are brought to the desktop. True, they go back into hiding when "d" is closed, but they're a bit of a distraction.
Not quite sure how "Hide" works, but it's some kind of batch process as all
hidden documents are represented by a single icon in the dock.
I'll look at this and maybe you have some ideas as well.
Thanks, osimp

Prompt window Issues-resize and date format setting to 'mm/dd/yyyy' .

Guys,
        I have two issues which needs to be solved for better reporting.
        I am using url reporting approach to view reports in ActiveX viewer.
        1) I have to set date format to 'mm/dd/yyyy' in parameter prompt window by default It is in yyyy-mm-dd format.
         2) I have to make prompt window with full size screen in order to accommodate more than one date parameter and make it looks better.
     Can any one tell me how to change and fix date format and resize Prompt window?
      Should I open a ticket with business object in order to solve or customize the Crystal Report Server XI R2 configurations for us?
    Please suggest me some probable options for it.
Sincerely,
Sanjay Patel

Hello Adlyd,
SAP Business Objects does not support customizing Infoview, CR Server, or BusinessObjects Enterprise. I'll post the content of SAP Business Objects Note 1218598 below that speaks to this. Even if they could help customize CR Server/Enterprise/Infoview there's no way to change the parameter prompting page. It's a page that is generated at runtime, and it isn't exposed to any of the BusinessObjects SDK.
If you want to see if SAP Business Objects can help you with the date format that might be possible. In North America you can call 1-800-877-2340, and select option 4, and then option 1.
You can also purchase technical support from the [Online Store|http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/DisplayProductByTypePage&parentCategoryID=&categoryID=11522300].

1218598 - Support policy on customizing BusinessObjects InfoView and other applications
Symptom
In previous versions of Business Objects products, Business Objects Customer Support had assisted customers with the customization of the ePortfolio and InfoView applications by providing guidance on what changes were required for simple and specific custom features.
What is the support policy for customizing BusinessObjects XI, XI Release 2, XI 3.0, XI 3.1 InfoView and the other included applications?
Resolution
Starting with BusinessObjects XI, code-level customization of InfoView and the other applications included with BusinessObjects XI is not supported and not recommended. These applications include Crystal Reports Explorer and the Central Management Console.
InfoView is a fully-featured product and can be customized by changing settings in the Central Management Console or by changing values in the application configuration files only.
Requests for custom features in InfoView or any other included applications will be treated either as enhancement requests, or in extreme cases, as product defects. Any feature that does not function as documented will be treated as a product defect.
Custom features may also be implemented as part of an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) agreement, or by engaging Business Objects Consulting Services.
Background Information
Modification of any of the following file types in BusinessObjects InfoView XI, XI Release 2, XI 3.0, XI 3.1 is not supported:

Network printing, more driver issues

A simple HP990 connected to an IP print server is a disaster under OS X.
1) HP provides drivers that work wonderfully - as long as it's USB (wired)
2) HP drivers dissapear if ADD PRINTER cannot physically find printer during install
3) GIMP drivers are latest - and they are almost 2 years old
4) No 2-way comm w/printer - this is NOT an IP issue
5) Dozens of printer features are unavailable to OS - show ink etc
6) Duplexing is just plain broken
7) Although HP drivers are installed, they will NOT be available to you if printer is not connected via a WIRE. This is rediculous.
8) IP "Find Printer" does not work. Cannot even find Linux printers, much less Windows, netBeui, or Wireless printers.
9) If you force printer model, you cannot use proper HP drivers. Must use GIMP.
10) Once printer is installed/configured, you CANNOT change ports. Again this is redic.
I was told OS X was VERY problematic with printing. It's the achilles heel in an otherwise wonderful OS environment.
Come on, Apple. Fire the printer guy over there and get this stuff straight.

THe HP deskjet driver does not support printing to a DeskJet 990 connected to a generic TCP/IP print server.
In Mac OS X 10.0 and 10.1 the printer drivers had to enumerate the communication protocols that they supported. This requirement was removed in 10.2 but many of the printer manufacturers still provide drivers that are tied to specific protocols. The HP provided DeskJet 990 driver support USB and AppleTalk. It may also support printing over TCP/IP to an HP JetDirect server but I've never tried that.
The Gimp-Print drivers are written so that they are independent of the communications protocol used. The Gimp-Print drivers will work over USB, Bluetooth, LPD, IPP, AppleTalk, socket, SMB, and other protocols. The Gimp-Print project is very active. It is currently closing on the release of version 5. The project has been renamed Gutenprint. You can find more information here: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
1. HP drivers work over USB and over TCP/IP depending upon the printer model. For example the Photosmart 2510 driver works great over a wireless connection using TCP/IP to that printer.
2. I'm not sure what is being described in this bullet item.
3. The latest version of Gimp-Print is v5.0rc2. As noted above the project is now called Gutenprint.
4. The HP drivers support bidirectional communication. The Gimp-Print drivers do not support bidirectional communications yet but they will likely do so soon.
5. Some drivers support low ink detection and some do not. The drivers that do support low ink detection show it in the print dialog and in the desktop printer. Most drivers also come with Utilities for checking ink levels and these are linked to by the desktop printer.
6. Duplexing works fine using the HP drivers. Are you having a problem with duplex and the Gimp-Print driver?
7. As discussed above the HP drivers can not be hooked to a communications protocol they do not explicitly support. This has nothing to do with wired versus wireless.
8. The Add printer browser shows locally attached printers, AppleTalk printers, Bonjour TCP/IP based printers, and printers shared from Linux CUPS servers. Other printers can be found by hitting "More Printers."
9. Again, yes, the HP drivers can not be used over a generic TCP/IP connection such as LPD, IPP, or socket. The Gimp-Print drivers do work over these connections. So do the HPIJS drivers. The HPIJS drivers can be found here: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/9979.
10. This is true. If the TCP/IP address changes on a printer then you need to re-add the printer.
I hope this is helpful.
