Plugin Containers hogging memory and Adobe problems

Hi,
I have regular problems with Firefox on my notebook. Firefox memory usage shoots beyond 500MB of memory and becomes extremely slow in any of the below conditions:
1) There are updates ready for some plugins: I thought it might be because I had enabled automatic updates and had made it manual. Still the same trend continues.
2) I run any Adobe application on the browser, like open a pdf from a website, run flash video either from Youtube or any other website.
3) I open about or more than 10 tabs on a single session (typical while reading news articles from feeds)
It was very problematic with FF4, but I continue to see the same trend even with version 5. When this happens, I do not have any other option but to close all the sessions of the browser and restart. Sometimes, Firefox does not go away from memory and I have to manually kill the process from task manager. There are several instances when the processor heated up so much, the fan could not handle and the notebook shutdown automatically. This happened when I had run youtube videos and after the video ended, let the browser window open for long time.
Here is the config information of my notebook:
Toshiba Portege M900, Intel Core i5 2.4Ghz quad core, Win7, virus free, with latest CA enterprise AV running.

Additional info:
The 256-color problem depends on how ActiveX'ed beans are integrated into native (VB, C++) apps.
If the development computer is configured to 256 colors, then on the runtime with 256 colors, the colors are ok.
If the development computer is configured to 16-bit colors, then on the runtime with 256 colors, the colors are wrong (dithered, ugly, wrong).
This tells me that the process where the ActiveX'ed bean is serialized to the C++ application resource file, some palette information must have been serialized out as well.
Question: what possibility is there to tell the ActiveX'ed bean or beans.ocx that it should update its palette?
A windows message? To whom, the ActiveX'ed bean, some component of it (HWND?), beans.ocx or some component of it? Sth that can be done within the bean's code?

[VIA Series] memory and usb problems

Hello...... I have the MSI PM8M-V motherboard, intel celeron 2.93 ghz processor and 256 meg kingston ram. I am upgrading about 50 pcs with this setup. On some, the system will not see any of the USB ports and on almost all of them, the system reports that I have 192 meg of ram instead of the 256. Is this a normal thing with the memory and has anyone else had the problem with the USB ports. Thanks

Quote from: Maesus on 20-December-05, 15:37:44
part of the RAM is taken by the video. That's why you only see 192MB instead of 256MB (64MB is taken by Video).
USB ports? make sure you enable them in the BIOS.
Make sure you have the Chipset Driver updated for the USB problem.
You might also check how you have the Front panel USB’s hooked up to the header on the Mobo. Make sure it is correct.

X58 Pro-E - Added memory and having problems.

Good evening.
My original setup was:
MSI X58 Pro-E, running V8.14 BIOS (think it's listed as 8.E on MSI site)
i7 920
6GB (3x2GB) of A-Data DDR3 1333 (Part number HY63I1B16)
eVGA GTX 285
Win 7 64bit Ultimate
I tried to find the exact brand/model of memory to add, but was unable. I ended up buying this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211451
I installed the memory and BIOS saw it all. Windows started up fine, reports 12GB, but the 2nd night after installing the memory, I got a bluescreen. I went ahead and ran memtest86, which reported several errors.
I took quick pic of memtest86 showing several errors here:
Before I RMA the memory, I wanted to make sure it isn't a configuration issue, rather than just bad memory.
Here's a pic of the memory tab from CPU-Z:
SPD tab (slot #1 "old" memory):
SPD tab (slot #2 "new" memory):
And here's a pic from SIW's memory tab:
What do you think? Bad memory or configuration issue? Thanks for your time.

The mixed config is not ideal. You may want to try however to set it all manually in the BIOS and see if you are able to get it to work.
Disable XMP in the BIOS.
Set your mem ratio so that your mem speed is at 1066. Set your timings manually to 9.9.9.25 or 8.8.8.22 and test.

Firefox and Adobe problems after Flash update last night

OK, this is a non-Apple question, but I haven't found any solution yet.
Everyone knows that to run the "Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.3" in Firefox, you had to open in 32-bit mode. I did and that plug-in, plus the "Adobe Acrobat Create PDF 1.2" extension worked just fine running Firefox 12. Tonight I got notification that I needed to update Adobe Flash Player. I did (quitting and restarting Firefox after the installation).
THEN up popped a warning - Firefox suggesting that I disable the NPAPI plug-in and finding out here that Firefox was disabling the plug-in. So I disabled it, restarted, etc. Then I found that the Create PDF plug-in would crash if I tried to save a web page as PDF within Firefox.
Is there any way to go BACK to the older Flash plug-in? That seems to be at the root of my problem. I can use PDF Browser plug-in in Firefox to display PDF files but what I really need is the Create PDF extension back (it's strangely absent from Safari - at least I've not been able to find it).
Any help out there?
Thanks,
Clinton

Create PDF or save as PDF?
Pete
Pete,
I can always use the PDF creator "Save as Adobe PDF" that is available from the Print menu and added by Acrobat Pro X, but it does not always save the hyperlinks correctly, etc., where the Adobe Create PDF does a fantastic job... I'd just like to have it back. It does not show up in the Safari extensions/add-ons for some reason.
Thanks for getting back so quickly!
Clinton
Then you may well have to go to the Mozilla Forums on this one. As I say, I steer clear of Firefox because of all it's bulky extentions.
Good Luck
Pete

Ti4800SE-VTD. Direct3D, memory and IRQ problem

Hello,
I have a dual boot pc (Windows ME and XP). Direct3D on ME does not work, but it does work on XP. I test it with dxdiag, using button Test Direct3D and after a flash there is the error: "Direct3D test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x887602eb (error code)"
On startup of dxdiag there is another error saying: "... not enough memory...". The tab Display shows no information on Chip and DAC, and approx. total memory is 1.0Mb.
Using System Information of Windows I see a lot of differences between ME and XP regarding IRQ (10 resp. 16) and memory addresses.
I installed DirectX and the video driver for both Windows using the cdrom that came with the video card.
My idea is that the IRQ is not good, but I don't know how to correct it. Maybe there is something else going on. I don't know what to do anymore.
Can anyone help me out?
Regards

Thanks for the reply.
What kind of specs do you need?
I installed directx8.1b and 9.0. Both have the same problems.
Motherboard is MSI 845PE Max2-BFIR.
I can't find any bios settings regarding video.
So, I wonder on what basis XP and ME decide to use certain video settings like IRQ and memory. XP defines IRQ 16 and only 1 other periphial uses this IRQ as well. ME defines IRQ 10 for the video card and about 5 other periphials use this IRQ as well. And I think this causes the problem.

N95: Memory and AP problems

Hello,
I have the 11.0.026 firmware in the US but I have found some strange problems:
Often, I get the message "Memory Full - Close some applications". I have only Web browser running but I still frequently get that message. (When I have several applications running, they often just crash). Is the any way of finding out available memory?
Not sure if I need to do some sort of hard reset after some application crashes. Anyway, I find it disturbing that N95 runs out of memory with only browser running. I would like to keep browser, maps and email client running at the same time.
Any idea why memory is full and is this normal?
Also, when I reboot the phone, the phone asks my access point. Why is that? I haven't started any applications yet. In general, AP selection does not work properly (e.g I select WLAN AP and the application has to ask it again every 5 seconds..If I then select packet data AP same thing. Maybe the email client is just broken).
Finally, is there any way of shutting down (disabling) WLAN or GPS (in order to save batteries)

Yes, you can stop the WLAN from Settings-> Connections-> WLAN and choose Never. The GPS does not eat up the battery if not connected, you can increas your battery life by choosing a GSM connection over a UMTS or dual mode. There were some threads about battery life on the N95 try the search discussions with key words N95 and battery. Good luck.
I have something in MY Pocket- the N95!!!

FlashPlayerPlugin_12_0_0_77.exe*32 Hogs memory and CPUs.

Firefox at 369,616 K FlashPlayerPlugin at 1,550,628 K and 51% CPU. Firefox extremely sluggish. This has been happening for about 6 months with very new release of Flash and Firefox. Makes Firefox unusable. Fix this or people will start to move to google chrome or IE

Thank you for your statement. We appreciate you reporting on the performance. Firefox is always improving and they are tracking the flash updates and checking for vulnerabilities.[[Firefox uses too much memory (RAM) - How to fix]] [[Firefox uses too many CPU resources - How to fix]]

Memory and messaging problems

alright, ive had a incredible 2 for under a year it has the basic 500 or so mb of space on it, plus an additional 4 gb on an sd card. only about 1/4 of either is taken up by anything and it constantly tells me there is low storage to the point where it forces programs closes. and also recently text messages have stopped receiving and i can only send. is there a reason for this?

Chef_esten,
I apologize that you are having issues with your device. Thank you to the community for responding. I would be more then willing to help. When you started getting the low storage error did you clear your application memory cache? I would go into some of your apps like messaging or Facebook and clear your data and cache. What applications are you using when you get the "force close" error? Have you recently added applications? Regarding your issue about receiving text messages are you using a 3rd party application? If so, have you tried to uninstall and reinstall it?
To verify if it is a hardware or software issue I would suggest doing a master reset on the device. Here are the steps to do so:
From the home screen, touch Menu
Touch Settings
Touch SD & phone storage
Touch Factory data reset
Tap Reset phone
Tap Erase everything
Device will begin to reset
If you do the master reset and you are still having issues then it could be the hardware. At that point we would have a conversation about replacement options.
Please answer these questions and perform the suggested measures.
I am certain that your issue will be resolved.
Thank You,

Hi, glad that worked for you. Also thanks for the explanation as how you came about this. Yes, from my understanding any Install of the CS5, even a trial version Installs the 10.1 (beta/prerelease) versions. It is not clear to me or others why the 10.1 was used in the CS5 instead of the latest version (10.0.45.2). My only guess is that the 10.1 is very close to being released as a shipping version (final release) to the public. The 10.1 had a target date of the first half of 2010. Perhaps that was the reasoning. This is just my opinion:-)
As I said, many users are having this problem, not just with the CS5, but they Install the 10.1 thinking that will solve whatever problem they may be having with the latest version.
Your thread is very helpful for other users that may be having the exact problem that you were. For this reason if you marked your thread as answered, they would read it first.

How to Enable Plugin before File Opened And Load PDF File From memory?

hello everyone,
there have two problems,all i want to do is to show a pdf file encrypted by AES algorithm.
1.one is how to enable plugin before file opened?
i developed another two plugin,and each enabled after one pdf file was opened,and now i want to replace the file open command and can do some word by meself,such as decrypt the pdf ?
2.another is how to load pdf file from memory?
if i can enable plugin before file opened,and than i can read the file and decrypt it,and now i want to do is do load the decrypt file (in memory) into the adobe?
i tried many method,but all in vain.who can help me or give me some advice?
thanks.
merry chrismas to everyone.

The proper way to handle other file formats (even where it is really a PDF that has been "wrapped") is to create an AVConversionHandler.
To load a PDF from a source other than the file system, you need to create a custom AVFileSys.

Since new update my games on Zynga hog all my memory and run real slow - I'm frustrated!

I updated firefox and flash as suggested and I have had problems ever since with it hogging all my memory and running real slow hanging up and constantly having to clear cookies and cache multiple times a day. I tried chrome and I don't like it. I like firefox how can this be fixed.

You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Leopard and Adobe Photoshop CS2 problems...

I've been reading the posts about Leopard and CS2 problems and have to say that I'm confused. A great many of you have had issues from the very beginning as soon as you upgraded to Leopard. I did not. I use a VERY basic set-up without third party plugins and suspect that to be why I had no problems. At least until now... I looked back through my documents to be sure, and my Photoshop was working beautifully through the first week of January. Somewhere between then and now there had to be an update from Apple that broke Photoshop. I haven't changed any settings since it last worked, and there certainly haven't been any updates from the greedy buggers over at Adobe because they don't support CS2 anymore apparently. What could Apple have updated that might have accidently corrupted my Photoshop?? I don't really feel it could be anything else, but who knows... Does anyone have any ideas? I would hate to have to downgrade to OS 10.4 just to use my Photoshop and I certainly can't afford to shell out the extra $$ for CS3.
I appreciate any light you guys can shed on the topic...
Stan

Actually the 10.5.2 update does seem to have improved things for me with Photoshop CS1. I can now actually type entries into the little boxes for things like crop and brush sizes. The File Browser is still prone to crashing the application though, and there is still some weirdness with opening files by a drag and drop onto the app icon in the Dock. But nothing got worse, and several annoyances disappeared.
One thing to try is to create a brand new admin test user, with no additions (that includes not adding fonts), log into the new account and see if Photoshop will work there.
And speaking of fonts, do you have Linotype's Font Explorer installed? If so, did you get the new updater for it? Some people who use Font Explorer were having a lot of problems after the 10.5.2 update, including Photoshop failure to launch, that were fixed with the Font Explorer update.

Firefox takes a long time to close since a recent update and hogs memory.

Since one of the recent updates that started using plugin containers, Firefox takes a long time to close. If I try to go back it, it tells me it is still running. I liik in Task Manager and about seven plug-in container. exe's are running and I have turned off or disabled mostplugins and addons, even Quicktime. Firefox uses an obscene amount of RAM on my XP machine and has made it sluggish. I use XP SP3. This started after you added the plugin containers in one of the recent updates earlier in the year. For the features it offers me or doesn't offer me, rather, it uses way too much RAM and is too sluggish. And takes a very long time to close out when I close the browser. It uses about twice as much RAM as it used to.

Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.
See "Hang at exit":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
See "Firefox hangs when you quit it":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+hangs
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Problem with Photoshop CS5. Memory and Hard disk space Mac OSX

Just got CS5 Master Suite. Whenever I open photoshop it takes a ton of memory 1 gig +. When I open files it takes up more and more until it takes up all my memory and hard disk space. I open a simple multi layered file that is 25 megs in size to work on it. Before I know it photoshop is taking 20gigs+ of my hard disk space along with 3+ gigs of system memory. Is there a memory problem in photoshop cs5?
Thanks!
Joseph
UPDATE:
So I just opened the 25 meg file in photoshop cs5 and watched my free space on my hard drive go down 8 gigs the instant I opened it. It went from 27 gigs of freespace to 19 instantly. As I open more files and close others it works till my harddrive goes to zero space... stalls the computer big time. Only way to correct it is to quit photoshop cs5 and wait a few minutes for the space to return... and it takes a few minutes for it all to return.
I am running a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6., 4 gigs of ram on board.
anyone else having simular problems?
