Parameter incorrect (help the newbie?)

Hey,
I'm using Dreamweaver 8 and I'm having rather a lot of
problems with error messages saying "parameter incorrect". I can't
understand what it means, and it is paralyzing my work.
For example, I'll be trying to change links sitewide and then
put all recently modified so that my new links will be functional.
But there are always parameter incorrect errors, and every time one
pops up, it blocks the whole putting process, disconnects me from
the server, and there seems to be no way of cancelling the process
or reconnecting... other than restarting the program with
ctrl-alt-del. Annoying! Parameter incorrect messages are preventing
ALL site-wide updates now.
I had a tip from someone to install the 8.0.2 updater, but
the person who did this seems to have had a different sort of
problem. I am trying it, and I have the installer CD, but what I do
not have is a working cd rom! So I'm trying to see if the
workaround suggested by Adobe can solve my problem, but I'm not
super optimistic.
Have any of you had experience with this? Any suggestions?
Hopefully,
Sidsel
ps. this is the workaround - problem is the trial version
I've downloaded is of course no longer dw 8 but cs3... but anyway,
this came from
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/dreamweaver/dw8/releasenotes.html
"If you installed Dreamweaver 8 from a CD, you will be
prompted to insert the CD when running the 8.0.2 updater. If you no
longer have the CD, you can try the following workaround:
1. Download the Dreamweaver trial version installer from the
Dreamweaver website.
2. Launch it.
3. Once the Welcome dialog box appears, browse to
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations\Macromedia Dreamweaver 8.
4. Copy the msi installer to the desktop (or anywhere).
5. Quit the trial installer.
6. Launch the 8.0.2 updater.
7. When prompted for the original CD, click the Browse
button and select the msi from step 4.
8. Finish the installation."

I just started getting this problem with DW CS3, it just
suddenly showed up after never having done this for months of using
this program.
It is unacceptable to reinstall the program to get around
this problem.

    I've created a photo gallery in Flash CS3 that contains 2 UI
    Loaders (one for a graphic title for the image, and one for the
    image itself) and have tested it and it works fine. I even
    published the file as an independent html file and it seems to work
    fine when tested in the browser too. My problem is that when I
    place the .swf into my html page in dreamweaver and test it, the
    file shows up, but the loader info doesn't work. The images don't
    load.
    Here is the code I have set up in Dreamweaver -
    Within the head, I have this:
    <script src="../Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
    type="text/javascript"></script>
    Within the body, I have this set up for where the swf gallery
    is supposed to be:

  • Somebody help the newbie!

    Hi. its the first time i'm looking at java or ppo btw.
    well what i needed to know is how to create a vector, add things, delete things, from it and how to use it outside the class he was born in.
    oh and another very newbie quizz.
    whats the difference between the class and the constructor method?
    they both must have the same name i know, but in examples i've seen sometimes there are variables declared before the class, then others before the constructor and then others inside the constructor... im confused.
    help! :)
    thx

    O dear :-)
    OK the constructor of a class is often used to initialise parameters or setup something so for example
    class Test
    Private int number=0;
    public void Test()
    System.out.println("In contructor");
    number = 10;
    System.out.println("Number=" + number);
    As for the vector class you can only add objects not built in types.
    So you cant use it for ints but u you can for Integers.
    Add item
    vectorName.addElement((Integer)number);
    Return an item
    Variable = (Integer)vectorName.elementAt(0);

  • Wrt54g and hughesnet hn7000s. firewall fails sheildsup.(help the newbie)

    Hello im still new to the networking stuff so here it is, no matter which computer i use(LAPTOP,DESKTOP,IMAC) it fails the sheildup test on grc.com everytime. for some reason when i go to dialup it passes the test.i set up the router again another failure. i have also looked into the hn70000s modem called tech support, no help there.
    is my problem the router or the modem, i did find settings page for modem that had a modem disabled box but no way to enable.
    thats about alli know, please help!

    O.K. First, let's find out what you are doing.
    When you run the test, how exactly is your setup:
    - if your router is connected to the modem, any port scan service in the internet will always scan the router. It does not matter from which computer inside your LAN you start the scan. You have one internet IP address which is assigned to the internet interface of the router. Therefore, the test must also ways report the identical results regardless from the computer behind the router which starts the scan. Due to the NAT router the computer behind the router is not directly accessible not is it possible to scan the computer behind the router unless you configure a DMZ or port forwarding.
    - If the computer is directly connected to the modem and connects to the internet a port scan service in the internet will actually test the open ports on the computer itself.
    Thus, if you scan through the router (without DMZ or port forwarding) the firewall on the computer itself is irrelevant.
    Second, you don't write what test you do exactly. There is no direct button on grc.com to "test all ports". You can test all service ports which is ports 0-1055.
    Third, if the port scan reports most of the ports as "open" this is very unlikely to be true. All ports open would mean that there is some service listening on those ports. Even the fattest server with a lots of services will never listen to all those ports.
    You should check what device actually is in the front line, i.e. really connected to the internet directly on the IP level. The internet port scan like grc reports your current IP address. This is usually the IP address assigned by your ISP. Please check the status on your WRT to see what IP address it is actually using. Open http://192.168.1.1/ and go to the Status tab. There you can see the IP address of the router on the internet interface. If this is not the IP address mentioned in the port scan your router is actually not directly connected to the internet. In that case your modem is most likely also a router device. If you see open ports in a port scan those would be on the modem/router and not on the WRT.

  • Printer debacle, help the newbie

    I am new to SAP so don’t be too hard on me.  We are several months into running SAP and have several issues that we can’t seem to get resolved.  One of the most nagging issues is that we can only print shipping documents and box labels to one printer.  I don’t know the exact terms for how we are setup but it doesn’t allow a user to define where he wants to send the output of the transaction.  So we have up to four people directing output to one paper/label set of printers.  We would like each workstation to print to the paper and label printer that sets right next to it.  I don’t know if the consultants haven’t had the experience to know the correct way to set this up or this is just the way it is going to be but it is driving us, the workers, nuts.  Any ideas on how this can be corrected?  Does this involve changing code or is it something that can be changed on a settings screen?  Sorry for the partial rant.

    This message means that the javac.exe file cannot be found. You could get round this by navigating to the jdk /bin directory and then run the command, but the best way is to add the /bin directory to your PATH environment variable.
    To do that, go to the Windows XP Control Panel and click on System. Click on the "Advanced" tab and then on "Environment Variables". If there is a PATH variable already defined, then add your jdk bin directory to it (e.g. c:\jdk1.4\bin). If there is no PATH, add it.
    This should enable you to run javac and java from any directory. To anticipate your next problem, you also need to set a CLASSPATH environment variable so that the JVM can locate your compiled java classes. There are lots of previous posts on this subject or you can post again.
    Hope this helps.

    I'm so new to Dreamweaver. I can only create static webpages
    but now I really have to create a page with dynamic contents (like
    get live data from a db), lots of layer manipulation(like layers
    changing sizes, etc) and javascript. Any recommendations on books
    that I should read to learn really fast? Any links?
    Please help. Thanks.

    If you need to do it soon, the best advice anyone can give
    you is to
    hire someone already proficient in these things (not sure
    what you mean
    by "layer manipulation," though).
    Otherwise, you need to get a book, take a class, or sign up
    for online
    training videos, depending on your learning style, and
    depending on
    what your host supports, and learn PHP, ASP, or CF (there are
    others,
    these seem to be the most commonly mentioned these days). It
    also would
    help to learn some theory about constructing databases
    efficiently.
    I am only a beginner myself, and if I needed something like
    that in a
    hurry I would probably try to hire a PHP person I know from
    this ng
    (Steve Fleischer, Gary White, there are quite a few who
    answer PHP
    questions frequently here) to do it for me.
    In the long run, I have bought and started to study these two
    books:
    Database Design for Mere Mortals (don't remember author
    offhand but you
    can find in any online bookstore) and
    PHP for Dreamweaver 8 by David Powers (who also frequents
    these and
    other newsgroups).
    Still, unless you can devote hours a day to this, it takes
    time to
    learn, and you can mess up a lot more much more quickly using
    dynamic
    pages than you can with a simple html page.
    Another option, depending on your needs, would be to delve
    into an
    existing content management system such as Joomla, Website
    Baker, etc.,
    but from what I've observed with others' experience, these
    can be more
    or less difficult to customize depending on your level of
    expertise and
    the adequacy of the documentation.

  • JSP back-end interface to Remote server. Please help the newbie

    Could someone comment on pros and cons of the JSP back-end interfaces to the remote server/programs using..
    (1) Socket Interface between JSP and Remote Server. One socket for one JSP session. JSP to create and delete the socket when done.
    (2) RMI between JSP and Remote program.
    (3) Message Exchange using JMS between JSP and the Remote Server.
    (4) Peer-to-peer JAXM message exchange. JSP/JAXM Client to Remote JAXM Server
    (5) Anything else?
    Thanks in advance..

    (1) Socket Interface between JSP and Remote Server.
    One socket for one JSP session. JSP to create and
    delete the socket when done.JSPs are compiled to servlets, which use the HTTP protocol. The remote server should be the servlet/JSP engine.
    (2) RMI between JSP and Remote program.As soon as you say "JSP", you're assuming HTTP request/response. If you want to talk to RMI objects, I think that's best done elsewhere than a JSP. They really should be for interface only. Have your JSP talk to a central, front controller servlet and have it invoke methods that deal with RMI objects or EJBs or POJOs on the back end. That stuff doesn't belong in JSPs, IMO.
    (3) Message Exchange using JMS between JSP and the Remote Server.No.
    (4) Peer-to-peer JAXM message exchange. JSP/JAXM
    Client to Remote JAXM ServerNo. This is crazy. JSP = HTTP, which is client/server by definition.
    (5) Anything else?All these might be fine options, but they don't belong in JSPs. Those should be for Web interface, a thin client. The details of how you process (e.g., RMI vs. EJB, synchronous vs. asynchronous, etc.) are best encapsulated somewhere else besides a JSP.
    HTTP is a client/server, synchronous, request/response protocol, of course. As soon as you say JSP, these assumptions are built into your system. You can do asynchronous processing, but you still have to send back a response synchronously (e.g., "Your order is being processed. Please come back.")

  • Help the Newbie, plz

    I have another question. Let say that I ave 6 channels for testing and I have the VI to do I/O for the each channel. However, depending on the testing period, it sometimes takes a long time. So, how can I automate the process. Let say for channel 1, it gets the defaulted I/O paths and moves onto Channel 2 once channel 1 is done without me being there to do it manually? Thank you in advance.

    First thing to do is to go to http://www.ni.com/devzone/lvzone/fundamentals.htm and check some of the resources available for training. As far as answering your question directly, you can use any number of methods. One is to put you existing program inside a for loop. If you create an array of test setups and put it outside the loop and wire the array through the for loop, the auto-indexing feature of a for loop will automatically extract each element, run the test, extract the next, run the new test, etc. until all of the array elements have been extracted. The for loop will then automatically stop. You can also use a while loop. This will give you a bit more flexibility but you have to do some more coding. You would bascially get the array size, and tell the while loop to stop when the iteration count is greater than the array size. The advantage of a while loop is that you can add a stop button if you want to prematurely stop. A while loop will not automatically auto-index and array but it can be selected by clicking the entry tunnel and selecting it.

  • I keep getting the error message on my MP510, the type of printhead is incorrect install the correct

      Recently my printer stopped printing black, although it would print the other colors. When I tried to print a print pattern, it would not print the checkered pattern it used to print to check the alignment. I tried cleaning, to no avail. Then I got the message: the type of printhead is incorrect, install the correct printhead on my control panel. Now when I turn on the unit, I can't do any maintenance or anything, it just shows the same error message as noted. I talked to a Canon representative, and he said to clean the printhead, I did. That did not help. My questions are, is the printhead bad. Second, it would seem I can replace the printhead. Just what is the likelyhood the printhead is the probnlem, or is this problem a problem that can only be curred by a service tech? Canon informs me this printer is not serviceable anylonger? So, I guess I'm on my own? They offer a deal on another printer at a reduced price. Frankly, I don't think my printer needs to be replaced, just fixed. If all that it requires is a printhead, I'm sure I can do the replacement. Just what are the odds replacing the printhead will solve the problem? I'm quite certain this error message has occured before on this type of printer, and other users have probably figured out the solution? Can someone help? Thank you.
    Rick

    Hi sciencemagic,
    The major cause for this type of error/issue is the printhead.  In most situations, replacing the printhead will resolve the problem.  However, the error may appear because of another internal malfunction with the printer.
    Another thing to consider is the cost of a replacement printhead, which may exceed the cost of purchasing a newer printer.  With the newer printer you also get access to newer printing features and technology including better image quality.
    For these reasons, I recommend exploring the replacement option, but we are happy to help with any available service options for your PIXMA MP510.  Contact us to discuss your options further.
