Mousepad is a bit of

Hello.. I just got my Macbook pro and it works perfectly!
But the mousepad is a little bit deeper down in the left side.
That means that it looks like there is a black line in the one side of the Mousepad and i can feel the difference with my fingers..
What shall i do? Should i forget it or?
Please help me decide what to do.

sometimes it happens with the trackpad, if it still working fine then ok, otherwise take it to apple.

  • I have a Z570 laptop Win 7 64 bit and need a new mouse driver

    I just updated my Ethernet Driver on my Win 7 64 bit Z570 laptop.  Now, the icon for my Mouse no longer appears in the sys tray, and I can no longer scroll using the Mousepad.  In order to scroll, I have to go into control panel and open up the Mouse settings, and then the icon appears in the sys tray and I can then scroll.  In MSCONFIG, I have normal startup checked.  I have the Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad, with driver 15.2.7.0 dated 2/8/11.  I guess I need to update the Mouse driver.  Anyone know of a fix for this, or can you point me to where I can find a better Mouse driver?  Thanks.

    Hi jetjim2015,
         Even though you have the current Lenovo driver loaded, if you want to try the latest Synaptics driver (V 17.0.19) you can find it here:
    http://www.synaptics.com/en/drivers.php
    Make sure you read this NOTE on the page:
    "NOTE: Installing a generic driver may result in the loss of OEM-customized Synaptics pointing device functionality. Setting a restore point before installing is a quick way to rollback to the previous driver."

  • Mousepad not responding Pavilion dm4

    Yesterday evening I woke my computer up only to find that my mousepad no longer worked. I figured it was some glitch like the many others I have found already on this laptop (Sound buttons not wanting to work correctly, mute led light not wanting to come on, etc.) And was hoping to restart and fix the problem. Today, after restarting, my mouse pad still does not work and I, apparently, am not the only one having this problem.
    My Specs:
    HP Pavilion dm4-2070us
    Windows 7 Home Prem OA
    I have tried updating the driver (It said that the version that was linked to was the exact same as on my harddrive) and I have also tried updating BIOS with the same result. The mousepad IS NOT turned off. If it is the light no longer works on it as well and it is stuck in off mode. The mousepad is not showing up in control panel no matter what I do.
    I'm getting tired of all the problems I have had so far out of this laptop since I've only had it since the middle of August. My friend told  me that HP was much better than Dell so I went with her instead what my gut told me. I had been bragging to everyone how wonderful this computer was but now I feel like I should go back and apologize to all my friends. Please say this is an easy fix and I'm overlooking something quite obvious. I'd hate to completely turn my back on HP for a stupid laptop.
    This question was solved.

    As of right now I have resolved the issue. If anyone has a problem similar to mine, before you send it in, maybe you can try what I did. Last night I let my computer die completely then took the battery out for a few seconds. After that I plugged it in and let it charge a bit (Maybe 30 minutes?) before trying to start it up and try the mousepad again. It's working just fine now, the scoll and zoom in/out even seem to work a bit better now.

  • My mousepad and cursor or not responding?

    I have had my MacBook Air for about 1/2 years and it has survived quiet a bit of rough treatment from my siblings.. And basically it has been beaten on (the keyboard has, the mousepad) and I'm not sure if that's why it isn't responding, because it has also has several liquids spilled onto it! >:( and so. Therefore the keyboard and keys are so sticky u can actually hear the stickiness from under the keyboard!

    Liquids corrode electronic parts. That could be the problem.
    May be, it is time for a new computer.
    Best.

  • Does the mousepad have scrolling function when you swipe up and down on the side?

    I am curious to know if the mousepad has a scrolling feature (swipe up and down on the right side) would scroll webpage.
    I come from Sony laptop and their mousepad has this feature which is convenient rather than using page up and down to scroll webpage.
    thanks.

    It does not have a scrolling function on the side of the touchpad, but it does have multitouch capabilities so you can push two fingers down, start the scroll, and I recently discovered that you can take one finger off and move the one that is still on to the top (or bottom) of the touchpad and it will continue the scroll so it does not scroll a bit, stop, and make you scroll again. A nifty little feature, in my opinion.
    Of course, I am fairly sure all Yogas come with a touchscreen, which is really nice for scrolling as well.

  • Mousepad issues.

    First off, I really love this computer, even after spending hours getting used to Windows 8. There's only one issue: the mouse touch pad. Since the day I bought it, the touch pad has lagged a bit, even freezing up and being unresponsive for a moment or two. Sometimes it disappears all together, sometimes it just sits there unresponsive. Sometimes it begins moving again, or appears again on screen, or I have to manually restart my laptop. This is becoming more frequent and really beginning to become an issue while I'm doing school work.

    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    The issue may -- or may not -- be the mousepad settings.
    Depending on your particular MousePad setup, the following may be more or less useful -- not all MousePads have the same setups or the same level of flexibility when it comes to what they can do. 
    For example, on a high-performance system, MousePad might be a Super-Mouse and do all sorts of cool stuff.  On a Normal Notebook, Mouse might be more of an Accountant-Mouse:  good Mouse but not Super-Mouse with a Cape.
    So, take a look and see if there is something you can do with the settings on your MousePad:
    Using and Configuring the ClickPad
    Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad (Windows 8)
    ====================================================
    Commentary
    According to the standard Specification Sheet for this notebook,  the system is only carrying 4GB memory.  That is "enough", but not an abundance of RAM.   The wireless, network, disk, and the processor are adequate.  If you put any strain on the system, it is going to respond to that stress and slow down.
    This means you might want to conserve your resources when you use the computer to get the most from it.
    There are some things you can do to help your computer perform better for you.
    Windows 8.1 -- really starting with Windows 8 -- has this wonderful new Start Screen environment where everything you ever wanted at your fingertips is "right there" in bright, shiny, blinking Tiles.  The trouble with bright, shiny, blinking Tiles is that they use memory to keep them "active".  Active Tiles drain your computer of resources that you could be hoarding for other purposes.
    Take a look at your Start Screen:
    If you have "active" Tiles on the Screen that you can live without:  Right-Click >  Turn Live Tile Off 
    You can save resources on your Desktop by using a Plain background instead of a fancy backdrop.  That means if you are using your favorite photographs as a background, you might reconsider and save your photo gazing for your iPad.  Change the background to plain, boring, yukky, gray.
    You can also try this or perhaps a "custom" setting where you select "some of the settings"
    Windows key + y (Opens the System) >
    Advanced System Settings > Tab Advanced >
    Under Performance > Settings
    CHECK "Adjust for best performance"> OK
    ==========================================================
    If the system slows down at odd times, it may be slowing down because there is a program running that is dragging on the system.  You can take a look at the system and see what it is doing and which programs are running.
    Sometime perfectly innocent programs can "run amuck" and hang up -- Internet Explorer might be hung up on a Web Page, your email might get stuck,  Word  might take a nose dive.  The Task Manager and the Resource Monitor can track what is actually happening and how much memory and resource is being used.

  • Pavilion dv6 mousepad not working

    My laptop operates on windows 7, 64 bit.
    The mousepad has stopped working and there are no lights displaying on the pad.
    I tried installing the driver from HP & it says that Ihave a later driver installed.
    I am unable to find that driver. I use a USB mouse but have always done so without a problem until now.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

  • My mousepad is not responding

    After leaving my Macbook Pro Retina 13" for a few seconds the mousepad is not responding (pointer on screen is not moving (freezing). The mousepad works again when touching after 15 - 20 seconds, howcome?

    Thank you for the followup. Sounds like you did a great bit of troubleshooting! Reinstalling the OS was a perfect way to help determine if the issue was with the OS, now it looks like you may need to reset the SMC on the computer and/or possibly the PRAM. Combined with your other troubleshooting if this is a software issue these steps will resolve it.
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    And to reset the PRAM:
    About NVRAM and PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information. If issues persist, your Mac's logic board battery (not a portable Mac's rechargeable battery) may need to be replaced. The logic board battery helps retain NVRAM/PRAM settings when your computer is shut down. You can take your Mac to a Mac Genius or Apple Authorized Service Provider to replace the battery on the logic board.
    Take care,

  • Sat A500 - keypad/mousepad freeze - cursor and typing spaces non-responsive

    Issue with my new notebook, several times the cursor has become non-responsive to the mousepad, and whatever is on the screen fails to recognise me typing on the keyboard. This seems to happen whilst I am using the mousepad.
    I've hit the mousepad on/off thinking this may have been bumped, but it doesn't affect the failure to respond.
    Could I be performing some function I'm not aware of? Any other ideas?

    It is not easy to understand what is wrong there and such issues can be checked testing all this.
    With original preinstalled OS touchpad should work except it is disabled with small button or with FN+F9 key combination.
    This with typing is also a little bit mysterious for me. If you use several windows (several different applications) be sure you try to type when the window is active.
    Please don't understand me wrong but best thing you can do is to ask somewhere for help. Best address is Toshiba service. They can put the notebook on the desk and check what happen exactly.
    Here on this virtual world I can just say: if you want to test it on proper way reinstall OS using HDD recovery image (factory state) and test functionality again. By default everything should works well. If not there must be some hardware failure.

  • Dirty little fingers on my nice white keyboard/mousepad

    Does anyone have any suggestions for getting rid of fingerprints and other little dirt marks from around the "mousepad" (not sure if thats the right term) area? (I'm afraid of making the problem worse with standard cleaners.) Other than washing my hands a little more thoroughly before I use my computer, of course. : )

    Hi,
    I have used a regular cotton washrag dampened with water on the keyboard, trackpad, and surrounding areas with good success. I applied very gentle pressure, being very careful over the keys and track pad, but a bit more pressure on the flat hand rest areas and the edges. That has worked very, very good for me, and I've been using my Macbook ALOT since I got it, so those areas have been getting lots of traffic. I'm also very careful that my hands are really clean before I use it, and I NEVER EVER touch the screen, except to clean it, with a lint free cloth dampened with water. That's worked really well too.
    Thanks!

  • I spilled tea on my mousepad

    I spilled tea on my mousepad on my Macbook pro..I quickly wiped it away. It was spazzing out initially but I turned off my computer for a bit and now it seems to be okay. Should I be worried? Is there damage that is just waiting to hit? Please help!

    Hello asdfnora and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
    Here's my stock short answer:
    "Whenever a liquid spill occurs the first thing that has to happen is the laptop should be shut down immediately. All power must be removed as soon as possible. It is especially important that the battery be disconnected and removed.
    All affected parts must be removed from the laptop. No attempt should be made to start/restart the computer.
    Then all affected parts would be washed in deionized water and blown dry with compressed air. (In a water spill the deionized water is probably not as critical. Depends on the mineral content of the water.) and blown dry with compressed air.This is especially true of the large chips on the logic board. Water can wick under them and cause havoc.
    The logic board should be placed in a drying/dehumidifing oven for at least two days. Longer depending on the spill.
      The keyboard is a separate matter "
    " It was spazzing out initially but I turned off my computer for a bit and now it seems to be okay."
    So clearly some liquid got to the logic board. Over time this can totally kill that board. I've got pictures if you're interested.
    Here's a site:
    http://www.insidemylaptop.com/steps-to-fix-macbook-pro-laptop-after-liquid-spill /
    If it's working stop using it and turn it upside down on a towel. Keyboard on the towel and let it sit for at least a day. If you or someone you know can unplug the battery as in that last site do so. Inspection would take someone who knows what to look for.

  • GS60 - Mousepad freezing/crashing and hard drive clicking issue

    Hello all!
    I'm going to try to put in as much detail as possible, hopefully some kind person here will know what I can do to troubleshoot these issues
    I bought an MSI GS60 2PC Ghost notebook a month or two ago and I've been noticing some strange issues.
    Occasionally during use, my mousepad will freeze for around 2 seconds and then start back up. What i mean by this is that i'll be swiping my finger and then the cursor will just stop moving for 2 seconds mid-swipe. This seems to happen fairly randomly multiple times a day.
    The most annoying part is that the first time it happens after a fresh restart, the mouse seems to lose precision. Meaning that after the first freeze, if i do a quick swipe and stop, the cursor will lag behind a bit and fully stop movement noticeably after I stop moving my finger. It happened while I typed this.
    >"REINSTALL YOUR MOUSEPAD DRIVER"
    I did, it started happening again. Here's the thing. If I'm also playing music while using the laptop and mousepad, any music I'm playing will temporarily also slow down/ get distorted during that 2 second freeze.
    Eventually, the mousepad will just crash altogether and I'll have to restart to get it to work again.
    >"ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE NOT HITING THE MACRO TO DISABLE THE MOUSEPAD"
    I'm sure. The music issue leads me to think it might be something else, not the mousepad driver. Although I should note this doesn't happen if i connect a USB mouse and use that instead.
    I'm also hearing a weird clicking noise every so often. It seems to come from the bottom right hand side of the laptop when facing the keyboard top-down. Like, to the right of the mousepad. Could it be the HDD? It doesn't really bother me too much but it's pretty loud and people in class will often turn around thinking i'm taking a picture of them. It just happened as I typed this as well.
    I've tried recording these things but they never happen with the camera rolling.
    Anyone have any ideas? I'll shower you with free Steam games if the help you provide ends up fixing the problem.
    Thanks in advance :cool:

    Turn on the task manager and check if the CPU or HDD is having a high usage while the cursor freeze happens.
    Try this:
    Go to Control Panel> Hardware and Sound> Power options> change plan settings(choose the one you're using)> Change advance power settings> Processor power management> set 98%, 99% of on both on battery and plugged in.
    Clicking sound for HDD is normal if the read and write head is working.
    You can run the HD Tune's s.m.a.r.t test and see if there is anything wrong with the HDD, if not, then I think you don't really need to worry about the sound.

  • How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit

    How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit
    I ran Coldfusion 8 on SBS 2003 Premium for 6 months with no problems.  When we finally decided to cut over to SBS 2008, that’s when everything went to hell.  I tried for weeks to get Coldfusion 8 to install properly on the new SBS 2008 64-bit box.  During the course which, I found bits and pieces of information for Vista 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit installations.  There are some distinct differences, however, with SBS 2008 since it runs core Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb.  After countless unsuccessful attempts, one of which completed corrupted the box, I found the solution.
    I have attempted in this white paper to detail the steps to assist others who may be in a similar situation.  I don’t make any warranty for the information, but so long as you follow the steps carefully you should be fine.  BTW, for those of you who say Adobe offers free technical support for licensed users, that’s not entirely true.  Like I said, I purchased CF8 and originally installed it on an SBS 2003 Premium box.  After we cut over to SBS 2008 and encountered problems, Adobe wouldn’t provide any technical support without charging.  Moreover, based on my initial conversations with Adobe’s technical team, no one seemed to know much about running 64-bit on SBS.
    From my understanding, only two versions of Coldfusion 8 can be installed in 64-bit: Enterprise and Developer.  The “normal” install (which I paid a grand for) can only be deployed in 32-bit mode – gee, THANKS Adobe!  By the way, in Developer mode only two distinct IPs can access the site in addition to the localhost.  Any additional IPs will result in a CFML error message stating that the maximum number of IPs have been exceeded.  At any rate, take your time and follow the steps to achieve a successful installation. 
    PRE-INSTALLATION TASKS
    Back Up SBS
    It’s always a good practice to backup your server before deploying any kind of major system changes.  Although this step is optional, I recommend it in case you need to restore your server for any reason.  Bear in mind, if your system ever gets totally corrupted, you cannot restore back from the twice daily incremental backup images alone.  You will need a full backup with system recovery information to restore.  Here are the basic steps:
    Click: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools.  Right-click “Windows Server Backup” and choose “Run as administrator”.
    Click “Backup Once” under Actions in the right-hand pane.
    Choose the “Different Options” radio button under Backup Options.
    Choose the “Custom” radio button.  What we’re primarily interested in here is backing up the OS – not your data partitions or attached drives.
    Select the “SYSTEM (C)” checkbox, uncheck any others.  Also, ensure that the “Enable system recovery” checkbox is selected before continuing on.
    Under ‘Specify Destination Type’, I usually select the “Local drives” radio button and point it to a Terrabyte USB drive I use for backups.  You can point this to a tape drive, or select the “Remote shared folder” radio button if you map to a UNC path to store your backup images.  Just remember, make sure that whatever path you select can readily be accessed in the event of an emergency.  Also, make sure the “Verify after writing (recommended)” checkbox is selected.
    Under ‘Specified Advanced Option’, I usually select the “VSS full backup” radio button instead of the default since I don’t use a 3rd party backup product.  If like me you rely solely on SBS for your backups, choose the full backup option.
    Confirm everything and click “Backup”.  This process may take several hours depending on the size of your system.
    Verify ISAPI Filters:
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.
    In the center pane under IIS, double click the “Modules” icon to verify that the ISAPI native modules are already installed for IIS.  If it’s set up correctly you should see two entries:
    IsapiFilterModule              %windir%\System32\inetsrv\filter.dll
    IsapiModule                        %windir%\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll
    If either of these modules are missing, you will need to re-install these (google for a solution).
    Set Up Development Environment
    Create a directory for your CFML files outside of the default Windows location (e.g., default is usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot\).  For the purpose of our install, I created a directory on a separate disk called: D:\DEV.
    Copy and paste your CFML files and directories into the new DEV root Web directory.  This will eventually be the directory where the Coldfusion installer places the CFIDE and CFDOCS folders. 
    Open IIS Manager and double-click the server instance in the left hand pane.  Expand the “Sites” folder.  Right-click the Sites folder and select “Add Web Site”.
    Enter a name in the “Site Name” box (e.g., “test-site”).  You will notice that the system will automatically create a corresponding Application Pool with the same name.  NOTE: this is important to prevent conflicts between the DefaultAppPool (needed for SBS Web apps like OWA, RWW, etc.) and the application pool needed for Coldfusion to function properly in SBS 2008.
    Point the “Physical Path” to the directory you created in step #1 above (e.g., “D:\DEV”).
    Don’t worry about testing the connection.  If you click “Test Settings” you may receive a warning that IIS cannot verify access to path (D:\DEV).  Don’t worry about this for the time being.
    Under “Host name”, enter a DNS path to your site (e.g., “dev.test-site.com”).  Click “OK”.
    Configure Application Pools for Installation
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
    In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
    Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “False” to “True”, and then click “OK”.  NOTE: if you skip this step, Coldfusion will not properly create the required mappings during the install. We will change this setting back after the installation completes – more on this later.
    Modify the application.host.config File for 64-Bitness
    Click: Start > Programs > Accessories.  Right-click “Notepad” and choose “Run as administrator”.
    Open the config file from within Notepad – default location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
    Do a search and change this one line from:
    <add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />
    To this:
    <add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
    Restart the IIS Admin service.
    Set HTTP Compression
    According to some threads I read, the http compression module can cause errors if you don’t disable it globally. To remedy this, perform the following:
    Click: Start > Programs > Accessories.  Right-click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”.
    At the command prompt, change directory to intetsrv by typing: cd inetsrv
    Run the following command:
    C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv>appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']
    This will turn off HTTP compression for all sites in IIS.
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Double-click the “Compression” icon in the IIS section of the center pane.
    Uncheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
    Recheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
    Restart the IIS Admin service.  This should enable compression and coldfusion to work at the same time.
    NOTE: if for some reason you need to reverse this, run the following command from the command prompt:
    C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir%\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll']
    INSTALLATION TASKS
    Download the 64-bit installation package from Adobe – filename: coldfusion-801-wind64.exe.
    Right-click the file and select “Run as administrator”.
    Accept the terms of the License Agreement.
    If you have an Enterprise license, enter it.  For our purposes, just click the “Developer Edition” checkbox.
    Select “Server configuration” – the default radio button.
    I deselected all subcomponents and can’t guarantee that you’ll arrive at the same results if you select additional items like “.NET Integrated Services”.  It should be fine, particularly if you install documentation.  My preference was to keep the install as plain vanilla as possible.
    Select the directory path for Coldfusion to install into – default is :C\Coldfusion
    THE NEXT TWO STEPS ARE CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS.  Unselect “All IIS Websites” and select the “Configure specific IIS Website or another web server” radio button.  Click “Add”, and then select your test Web site (e.g., “test-site”) under “IIS Web Site”.  Hit “OK”.
    Do NOT use the default directory path for the CF Administrator location (e.g., default path: “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”).  Instead, point the installer to your new DEV root Web directory (e.g., “D:\DEV”).  The bottom line, you want the installer to place the CFIDE directory and files within this folder, alongside your other CFML files and folders.
    Enter an Administrator password.
    Choose to Enable RDS, or not.  I enable this by preference but it is not required.  This allows you to make updates to files using a CFML editor directly vs. having to move/FTP the files over if you’re working remotely.  Opponents to this argue that it’s potentially less secure, but for a lower environment I don’t see this as a major concern.
    Confirm everything to kick off the install.
    If all goes well you should see a message at the end stating that the install was successful.  I recommend you uncheck the box that asks you to open the CF Administrator in the default Web browser after the install.  NOTE: we will open it a different way during the post-installation tasks.  The worst thing that will happen if you forget to uncheck the box is that you might receive an error that the command prompt hung – not a big deal – just close it and move on to the next (final) steps.
    POST-INSTALLATION TASKS
    Verify CF Installation:
    The installation will create a new folder in your program group: Start > Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 8.  The default “Administrator” link will not work because it points to the wrong path: http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. The “127.0.0.1” or “localhost” path as you may recall in IIS, points by default to the “C:\inetpub\wwwroot” directory.  Our CFIDE files, however, are located within: D:\DEV.
    To bring up the CF Administrator logon page, open up a Web browser and replace the “http://127.0.0.1” part of the path with the DNS path name to your CF environment (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm).
    This should bring up the Coldfusion Administrator Login screen.  Enter in the Administrator password you created during the install to log in and configure your application server.
    Verify that your test-site renders correctly by typing in your test URL into a Web browser (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com).
    Fix Application Pool Defaults to Re-enable SBS Web Applications:
    At this point, Coldfusion Administrator and your test CMFL Web site should be working properly.  The problem is, default SBS Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb will throw errors and fail to start.  Fortunately, this is easily remedied by performing the following steps:
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
    In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
    Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “True” to “False” this time.  This should re-enable the SBS applications, which would otherwise result in 500 errors (e.g., OWA, RWW, Companyweb, etc.).  There is no need to restart IIS.
    Open a Web browser and test that you can once again connect to OWA, RWW and Companyweb successfully.
    In IIS click to highlight the application pool for your new site (e.g., “test-site”).  In the right-hand pane, click “Advanced Settings”.  Ensure that “Enable 32-Bit Applications” – second item from the top – is set to “True” for this application pool specifically.
    Lastly, jump up and down for joy!  Hopefully now, everything is working.  Best of luck!! ..Paul D (MCP).

    First, it would be a good idea for you to specify what distro of Linux you're using, as not all are supported by Adobe.
    Second, this is probably your problem right here:
    http://askubuntu.com/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
    In a nutshell, CF expects the 32-bit version of libc.so.6 to be in /lib, but it's probably not. You might be able to modify the installer to point to the correct location for that file, or you might be able to create a symlink to the file - but as the above link describes, creating a symlink might have negative consequences.
    As for installing CF 8 64-bit, that's only available with Enterprise, not Standard. If you want CF Standard 64-bit, you need to upgrade to CF 9.

  • I install iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit, it opens, it crashes

    The subject says it all, pretty much.
    - I install the latest iTunes (downloaded 01/31/2014)
    - I open it, then go to iTunes store, and it hangs itself after login
    OR
    - I open it, then close it, then hold SHIFT and double-click, as I want the library on a separate drive. I can select the drive, but in the meantime, the program hangs itself. In this case, onlt for about 30 minutes. Then it asks if I want to see the tutorials. I try to close it. It's been running in this state for over 8 hours now.
    I've tried uninstalling everything related to itunes, even removing all files from the registry. Each time I install, I get the same result. I have not prior install history left on this PC, as no install had been ever authorized when I had it on this machine for a few days back 3-4 months ago. The machine I used before has been repurposed, and doesn't have the software anymore... But it's also Windows 7 64-bit
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    When I run the iTunes64setup.exe it says: "The thingy is not a valid win32 application."
    That generally indicates that the installer has been getting damaged on the download.
    What web browser have you been using for downloading the iTunes64Setup.exe? Does it make any difference if you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa)?

  • Bit locker Mutliple Drives Mutliple OS's

    I have a laptop with two hard drive in it.  The primary has Windows 7 Enterprise and is a member of the corporate domain.  The secondary has Server 2008 R2 and is a member of the lab domain.  There is no trust or association between domain. 
    The laptop does the Windows multi-boot off the primary drive.  I want to enable bit locker to secure the drives.
    If the two windows environments were exclusively separate, setting up bit locker on each drive independently would be pretty straight forward, but when I'm in one OS, I will frequently need to get files and data from the other drive (and no, making each
    drive big enough to hold all it's own data is not an option, plus the synchronization headache).  Both drives will need to be bit locked to their respective OS, but the other drive will need to be accessible.
    And not to make things too easy, the secondary drive, which i put in an optical drive bay carrier, routinely gets pulled (not while the system is running, of course) out and popped into a USB case to be used as a library transfer drive. 
    So....
    the Windows 7 drive needs to be natively bit locked.  and be accessible when running Windows 2008 from the second drive.
    the Windows 2008 R2 drive needs to be natively bit locked, and be accessible when running Windows 7 from the first drive, and be accessible when run as a stand-alone USB drive on another system.
    I would appreciate any wisdom you can share to make this all work.  And please presume that i know next to nothing about installing and running bit locker, because that's pretty much true.
    Let me know if you need more information about my configuration.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    "and be accessible when run as a stand-alone USB drive on another system."
    Firstly, if you enable bitlocker for one drive, it will be encrypted always until you decrypt it. Thus after you insert it to any system, it need to enter the credential to access it.
    And then, if you want to access one drive in another computer, you need to get the shared permission. After you' re granted the sufficient permission, you could access it no matter if it's encrypted. Of course, another computer must be started.
