NVIDIA And Win 7 Aero Themes

Using Win 7, nVIEW (A desktop manager tool) and Aero theme with LabVIEW 2011 x64 freshly installed.
So NO FLOATING window will stay on top of a FP or BD. This includes Functions Palatte, Control Palatte and Tool palatte.
Makes it hard to do anything.
The solution is to disable nView
Jeff

I have a cad program that uses GDI and opengl on windows 7 and we have to turn aero off for it to work properly.

Oracle reports builder and Win7 aero theme

Hi,
I did sucessfully instaled Oracle reports builder 10gR2 (e.g. Oracle Developer Suite 10gR2 and patch 10.1.2.3) on Win7 x64 Enterprize. There was a few workarounds, but it is now ok.
Everything works just fine now, but that blink and baloon message that came on change of color sheme to Windows classic is annoying! Every time I run the Report Builder, windows is forced to change the Aero scheme ti Classic. OK, I figgured out, that if I do not use Aero, this is not an issue anymore. For me it's ok, but other developers in our company will not be glad :)
The same problem persist at Oracle SQL developer, but there is a solution for it with little change in "sqldeveloper.conf" file "AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true" .
Is there any similar setting for Report builder too?
I would be werry appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
Have you used 64-bit binaries?
Here are the steps that you need to make sure you have accomplished themL
1- JDK 64 bits to be used
2- wls1036_generic.jar (java -jar wls1036_generic.jar) or wls1035_generic.jar . It is mandatory to use java from a 64 bits distribution. Using java 32 bits will cause problems.
3- ofm_frmrpts_win_11.1.2.0.0_64_disk1_1of1.zip
An workaround is offered in the following thread:
Oracle Reports 11g installation problem

Problem with Wine, NVidia and fullscreen games

Hi,
I'm writing about a problem i recently noticed with wine, nvidia gpu and fullscreen 2d games.Basically the problem is as follows - i am running arch with the latest kernel and nvidia drivers on Thinkpad T61 with NVidia Quadro NVS 140M. I have a problem with old 2d games like Red Alert 2, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Diablo 2, Heroes 3. All of these games do not support the native 1440x900 resolution of my screen and all of them work fine in window mode but crash if fullscreen is selected. I managed to get some of them working by making them work at higher resolutions. For example although Red Alert 2 does not support 1440x900, it can be easily made to work at that resolution and after i applied the necessary settings it worked. The same was with Heroes 3 - by default it does not support 1440x900 and it used to work only i window mode but there is a HD mod which allows it to run in higher resolutions and after i applied it it worked perfectly in fullscreen. I haven't thested Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale but i think it will work there too.
The problem is that i cannot use this approach to all games - for example i must run Diablo 2 and Starcraft in their original resolutions. I read somewhere that the problem is that wine can only change between the resolutions described in the xorg.conf file and if doesn't find the necessary resolution the game will crash or will only take the portion of the screen that is its resolution - for example when i play Starcraft rather than stretching it to the whole screen it simply takes 640x480 pixels of my screen and the game is displayed in the top left corner of the screen leaving everything else black.
I didn't have this problem before - it is something new though i'm not sure since when do i have the problem because i rarely play games. As for the idea that the problem may be related to the resolutions defined in the Xorg.conf file, my xorg.conf is automatically generated by the nvidia installer and there are no resolutions defined there.

Try nvidia 304.48
I remember that issue, with the 302 series.
I have Nvidia 304.48 installed and the problem still exists (it also happens with Catalyst). This didn't occur with 295.59 using the same version of Wine.

Black capture screen in Win 7 unless aero themes are turned on

I have discovered through trial and error that unless I disable Aero themes on my powerful Windows 7 laptop, my captures always seem to drop a frame or two despite the souped-up resources I have (super fast processor, 16GB RAM, capturing to second hard drive,etc). By the way, I am capturing through firewire from a Canon XL2 (DV) camera.
However, on other machines on which I have older versions of Premiere Pro installed, I can do this automatically by right clicking on my desktop Premiere Pro icon, choosing the compatibility tab, and putting a check in the "disable desktop composition" tab. This basically toggles Aero off as soon as Premiere Pro starts loading, and toggles it back on when I close it. But this has never worked with Premiere Pro CS6. I have always had to manually disable Aero even though I have supposedly disabled it through the said compatibility tab of Premiere Pro CS6.
That's never been a major problem until now. Now, if PP CS6 is open and aero themes are disabled, I get a black capture screen (I can hear the audio but the capture screen is completely black). But as soon as I toggle aero back on, the capture screen again displays video normally. So, basically, if I intend to capture with PP CS6, I am forced into leaving Aero themes on so that I can monitor my capture, but if I do so, I drop frames. Infuriating.
This seems to be a similar problem to the one I had a few months ago, "I get a black capture screen (preview), but video captures fine. What gives?"
I got no suggestions for that problem other than to "use another application to capture," (UNacceptable since I paid BEAUCOUP bucks for CS6 and I have a perfectly reasonable expectation that it should perform), and "roll back to the previous update" [again, unacceptable, as 1) I have no idea how to do that and 2) updates are issued to resolve other problems, right? So why should I be forced to roll back?]. Sorry, but these didn't help.
That particular problem was apparently "resolved" with a subsequent update, and there were no problems for a while (other than the fact that I could still not disable aero through PP CS6's compatiblity tab). But now, apparently, there has been a further update that has caused this latest problem that never existed before. Please help.

Regardless, Premiere Pro should not have an issue if I want to disable Aero themes. CS6 is the only version that apparently does have an issue with it (and, even then, only recently, which leads me to beleive that a recent update is to blame).
I know this because I also have the old, old Premiere Pro 2.0 installed on the same machine. If I disable Aero and then Open PP 2.0, the capture screen is just fine.
But if I disable Aero and first open PP CS6, close it, and then open PP 2.0 instead, the capture screen in PP 2.0 is now black as well, and I cannot get it back unless I reboot. Obviously, when I close PP CS6, some service or other, that I haven't been able to identify so far, is remaining open and affecting PP 2.0.
Again, all prior versions of PP have never had an issue with disabling Aero themes. Why does CS6, all of sudden, absolutely need it enabled in order to work properly (though it doesn't work properly, it drops frames)?

Aero themes not working

I have a Win 7 professional 64 bit HP 6300 PC and Aero themes stopped working. What I was looking for was thumbnail views of open programs in taskbar. All I got were lists. I down loaded an updated Intel graphics driver for my PC from HP, installed it,
rebooted, and Aero themes Color transparency's was working. However when I hover over the taskbar I can get a thumbnail if only 1 instance of that program is running(example IE). If I have more than 1 window in the stack I get lists again.

This one ?

Can't get Aero theme forced (via Group Policy)

Well I'm at a loss. I have a bunch of users. They're all crazy, and I think I'm getting there too. It all started with this three-armed monkey that got loose in the lab....
Ok seriously. I'm having no luck getting the Aero theme forced to any user. 2008 R2 and Win 7 Pro and Enterprise systems. Any user can easily manually set their own Aero theme and it saves after they log off, but for a user that hasn't
done this I cannot get GPO's to get the job done.
I've been all over the web, some people say use the option to "Load a specific theme" which most people agree only affects a user's login for the first time. After they've logged in once, that setting never applies to them again.
And the other one is that if I want to force the theme each time someone logs on, to set the msstyles file under "force a specific visual style file or force Windows Classic". I don't have a company-specific file to share over a network folder
so I just use the default %windir%\resources\Themes\Aero\aero.msstyles path.
Both of these GPO entries are found under User config > Policies > Admin Templates > Control Panel > Personalization.
Some forum posts say not to enable these two items together, others say you need to. For me it doesn't work in any combination - plenty of machine reboots in between to ensure updated GP's get applied. .
Also the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service is running and set to automatic, and I've tested on more than one system so I am confident the computers are not the problem (some are brand new installs).
Event logs show no errors at all, and also do show successful applies of "4 group policy objects". I suppose I should count how many are supposed to apply to a computer but let's say for argument's sake that there are no errors on this.
Is there something I'm missing?

For the "Load a specific theme" policy, you can find the description of the policy in group policy editor, it is only applied when a new user logs in for the first time and it doesn't prevent user from changing the theme
I made a test in my environment, if I applied "force a specific visual style file or force Windows Classic". it works as I want (I use some default visual style file because I don't have customized file ), after that, I can change the
theme, and the aero.msstyles I set via GP remain take effects.

Can i recover my all active directory domain computers and users from IFM and in-cooperate them in new forest ??

My only Active Directory Server on win server 2008 R2 with one domain controller crashed today. The only backup that i had was IFM media.
So what i have done till now to recover it is a follow
I reintalled window server but this time it is winserver 2012. I added AD DS role to it. Promoted it to Domain Controller. (functionality level is 2008 R2)
On second server i installed win 2008 R2 and trying to add additional domain controller from IFM to recover all of my domain users,computers and GPO's. but i am getting this error
Could not replicate the directory partition CN=schema, CN= configuration, DC=XXX, DC=com from the remote domain
the naming context specified for this replication operation is invalid
i dont know weather my approach is correct or not
but my simple questions is
Can i recover my all domain computers and users from IFM and in-cooperate them in new forest ?? if yes how can i do that?? urgent help required.

yup exactly i created a new domain(in new forest) with same previous name in window server 2012 on SERVER-1. As ifm file that i had was generated from 2008 r2 so on second server i installed window 2008 r2 and tried to add role of additional domain controller
from ifm file on SERVER-2 using dcpromo /adv . every step went ok but in last step when it starts replicating domain controllers it poup following error
Could not replicate the directory partition CN=schema, CN= configuration, DC=XYZ, DC=com. . .
and roll backs every thing.

Error message on my new 310 1125f touchsmart screen to choose aero theme in control panel did that

Just got my HP 310 1125f touchsmart 23rd of Feb 2012. Work good for two days, then on the touchscreen was a Error message
choose an Aero theme on the control page. Did this there are 7 different themes I tried all of them and none of them worked
even did a restart after each of them. What is the fix for this help me please. Maybe getting a touch screen wasn't a good idea.
Everything else works great.

Hi Marilyn52,
Did you already try restarting the system? If HP takes over your computer, windows aero gets turned off for performance reasons. When you restart, the original theme should be back to the way it was.
If not you can try the following steps also:
Make sure that Windows Experience Index has been updated. For more information check: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-is-the-Windows-Experience-Index
The following steps will tell you how to turn on a Windows Aero theme for vista & 7.
Vista:
1. Right click your desktop and select "Personalize".
2. Click on "Theme"
3. You'll get a window which will list all available themes for windows vista, select Windows Aero here.
For Windows 7:
1. Right click your desktop and select "Personalize".
2. Here are all your themes including the Windows Aero ones, just select one of these.
It might be possible that you have to restart the computer.
If still not working, please let us know what kind of computer you have and what operating system it is.

Windows Vista Aero theme - incompatible with iTunes?

Whenever I boot up my laptop I get an error saying iTunes is stopping my Vista Aero theme from showing. When I go to task manager and end the ituneshelper.exe module process, the Aero theme is then accessible.
I know the ituneshelper.exe is an important module to allow to run, but I really don't want it interfering with my Vista theme. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Help would be so much appreciated.

OK I figured out the problem:
I had installed Quicktime Alternative which screwed up iTunes since it requires the very newest version of Quicktime to be installed.
Moral of this story: Don't install Quicktime Alternative

Mac Pro -- Installing XP and Win 7 on a SEPARATE Internal Drive

I would like to install Windows XP SP2 and Windows 7 onto the second Internal Drive in my Mac Pro. I am planning to install Win XP on the first partition and Win 7 onto the second Partition of Drive 2.
Will this work?
Drive 1 - GUID partition Scheme -- 1 partition -- Snow Leopard
Drive 2 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 2 partitions -- WinXP -- Windows 7
Drive 3 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 3 partitions -- Linux
Drive 4 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 1 partition -- NTFS Shared Data
Can I use MBR or do I need to use GUID Partition Scheme on my second drive holding Win XP and Win 7?
P.S. I do not plan to use Bootcamp assistant to install WIndows XP and Win 7. I only will be using the Mac OS X Install Disk to install the Bootcamp Drivers.
And What does this mean in the Bootcamp Guide:
"Note: If your computer has more than one internal disk and you want to install
Boot Camp on a disk that isn’t in the first hard drive bay, remove the drives in the lower numbered bays. You can reinstall the drives after you install Boot Camp."
What does Apple mean by lower number bays? Drive 1 or Drives 3 and 4?
And why do I need to remove drives?
Rob

I thought it might be possible, and while you must use MBR, and while Windows 7 can install on its own without BCA, the same is not true of XP. People have tried, and the conclusion was a no go.
Don't know what Linux requires.
GPT is fine for data drives though, and is required when you get into drives of 2TB and larger.
As long as you format the drive partition table as MBR you are fine.
The only time when you used GPT you have to also use BCA to add the MBR and have a hybrid partition. GPT actually includes an "MBR holder" to prevent XP and others from wrecking havoc on GPT volumes that they don't support.
Never used XP, and for one purpose alone I just used XP Mode instead.
Apple tech notes are full of misinformation and support for Windows on their own Macs is sadly missing.
BUT: remove any and all drives that are GPT or have OS X during the install of Windows (both XP and 7). Otherwise it won't install. Then put them back. And if you want to play safe, then use the drive bay #1 at the front of the Mac for Windows, yes.

Adobe products under OS X and Win XP

Can anyone give me a comparison of the performance of Photoshop,etc. when running them under OS X and Win XP (boot camp of course on the same machine).
I'm assuming CS2. Just raw performance...I will have to factor in the time I would save using the awesomely productive OS X and clunky old XP.
Thanks!

sonicsoul,
Up to now there's a HUGE difference of speed and performance with Photoshop CS2 between XP and OSX. The thing that makes Phosothop CS2 slower on MacOS X (Intel CD) is that the app is created for PowerPC, so running Photoshop CS2 (or any other app that's not yet Universal) with Rosetta, will make the app work HALF speed as on a PowerPC one. On windowsXP it works reaaaaaaally fast. I'm gonna use it till Adobe launches a Universal version. And I suggest that you do the same.
Hope that answers your question.

How Do I Set up Windows 7 to Use Aero Theme?

Can someone give me some pointers here? Is it possible to modify the Unattend.xml to load the Windows 7 Aero theme or do it with MDT/SCCM? Every time I install/Deploy Windows 7, the Windows 7 Basic theme keeps loading? I have to
go in and manually change it to Windows 7 Aero. I have tried GPOs they don't seem to work.

I have used the following in oobeSystem pass:
<Themes>
<ThemeName>aero</ThemeName>
<DefaultThemesOff>false</DefaultThemesOff>
<DesktopBackground>c:\downloads\background.jpg</DesktopBackground>
<WindowColor>Leaf</WindowColor>
</Themes>
You need to specify a theme name. You can name it anything you want, but don't give it a name of one that already exists in the Personalization panel. You do not need to specify a WindowColor. I'm not sure if you can also leave out the DesktopBackground item.
Try it out.

When using one of the Windows 7 (32x) Aero themes, PDF's are displayed semi-transparent.

I can't read PDF's in my Firefox browser anymore. It looks as if they are semi-transparent: The fonts are blurry, and they have the same color as my Aero theme frame. I can see my desktop photo through the fonts. When I save the PDF's and open them offline, they are displayed as they should. The prints also look normal. Btw, when I change to a classic theme, PDF's are displayed normal.

Unable to connect Win 7 and Win XP PCs in a Workgroup

I am trying to connect new (newer) Win 7 Pro PCs to a Workgroup of all Win XP Pro PCs.
The Win 7 PCs can see each other and the Router. The XP PCs can see each other.
The Win 7 PCs are 64 Bit. They are on a separate subnet (192.168.2.xxx) from the XP PCs (192.168.1.xxxx)
I have two issues:
The Win 7 PCs can "see" an individual XP PC if I type the name (\\name) in the URL or search field but the connection is lost as soon as I close Explorer. I can ping all of the XP PCs from Win 7 PCs.
The XP PCs cannot see any Win 7 PCs and cannot ping them.
The Workgroup name (in one place but not under network - see below) is the same for all PCs.
I turned off the Firewall for a Win 7 PC but that did not help.
I tried to change the Workgroup in a XP PC (My Computer>Properties>Network ID): changed to "My company uses a network without a domain" and changed the Workgroup name but the changes do not stick. They go back to the original settings after
I reboot. Tried multiple times with same result.

Hi,
Multi-subnet TCP/IP network browsing support is available only in a domain environment. Segmented workgroups simply can't be browsed across segment boundaries.
Just bring the machines into same subnet.
