Problem Opening Composition in CS4 on Windows 7 (Worked in Vista) 32-Bit

Hello,
Merry Christmas! Hope everyone is having a better one than I am at the present time!
At little background information on what I have and what is happening.
My machine is a custom built machine with an ASUS P5KC Motherboard, Intel Quad Core Q6600 @ 2.40GHz, and 4.00GB DDR3 RAM, with a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX.
Yesterday when I was working on this video, I had Windows Vista Home 32-bit installed. All fonts, footage, plug-ins, etc were there, working fine. The project had multiple compositions with quite a bit of 3D elements.
Somehow that machine got infected with a wicked little trojan; cleaned it enough to get my files off of there and make a backup.
I then installed Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, re-installed After Effects CS4, copied all of the Video Copilot Evolution footage, and Pro Scores, Designer Sound Effects, and Action Movies Essentials to the machine; installed the fonts and plugins again.
I then attempted to start After Effects and open the project; all was good -- it recognized that there was 53 items that were not found (unlinked footage). However, once it loaded and it started to load the last composition that I had open (which just so happened to be the fairly large one with 3D elements), it would simply freeze and become "not responding".
I tried this various times; no luck.
I then started a new project, and "drug" the existing project to the new one. This allowed me to open the project without it opening the previous composition. I was then able to re-link all footage and sounds. I then was able to open the other compositions, but the moment I tried to open the composition that I tried earlier, it froze again.
So then I thought, well maybe I can just render it, or make it a proxy, etc.
Both failed. Even when I add to render queue, as soon as it adds it, before I even click start rendering it will freeze.
I thought maybe this was a memory issue; I did some tricks to allow After Effects to use all of the memory, and all cores of the procesor, verify OpenGL state, and allow it to use 80% of the physical RAM on the video card -- still no luck.
I tried cleaning the project, and purging memory; no luck.
I can post the AEP project file for anyone who is willing to help.
Perhaps installing a 64-bit version of Windows 7 would help, but I don't understand what this issue is steamed from.
Thanks,
Travis

Situation Update:
Installed Windows 7 Professional x64 Bit, Adobe After Effects CS4. No improvement, still same issues. I then installed the 9.0.2 patch, and tried again -- same result, negative.
Response to Mylenium:
Thanks for the advice. It appears as if all devices have the latest drivers on my computer, and are running as they should. Not sure too much to check on After Effects, but it says everything is "Supported" in the OpenGL dialog on AE CS4.
Also, I'm able to render the main compsotion (which contains other comps in the beginning, and then middle way it has the problematic composition in the timeline) up until the point where the first frame of the problematic composition is.
I beleive it will aid in your assistance to me by seeing the actual project; please see the attachment.
Project number 2 is the initial project, where the "last thing opened" was the problematic composition. Project number 3 is the "new project" with the old project added.
You will see what I'm explaining once you take a look.
Additionaly Regarding QuickTime
I just recently downloaded the latest version of QuickTime Player (QuickTime Player 7, Version 7.6.5). It has installed, and I'm able to play MOV files that I have used in the composition. I'm unsure as to additional options to check within QuickTime.
Thanks,
Travis

My clients that are using Macs are having problems opening password protected PDFs that I created in Windows. Any suggestions?

Are your clients using Adobe Reader on Mac, or the built-in Mac OS Preview? Preview does NOT support the full PDF standard :(.

No. 64bit support is not there for 2.1 agents on Windows.

Thanks!

Here is a full technote when having problems with Fireworks on Windows XPPro,... see if there is something there that helps.
Also make sure that you also install the FWs updater:

Problem opening excel file in new window

Hi,
I have a JSF application that sends an Excel file back to the user.
My backing bean has a method that uses POI to generate the excel file and then write it to the servlet response.
This works fine if I call the method from a command button, but this displays the file in the current browser window, whereas I want to open the file in a new window.
I added an onclick javascript call to a command button which does a window.open() to open a jsp in a new window. The jsp contains an empty view, as I'm using an on-load phase listener to make the call to my backing bean method which should send the excel file when the file opens.
However, when the window opens, I get an IE error message saying 'Could not open xxx.faces', and then an excel error message saying 'Could not open xxx.xls. This may be because the file does not exist, or the file is already open etc etc'
However, I found that if the popup window goes through a servlet (which just forwards to the jsp page) instead of going to the jsp directly, it works like a charm.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this would be very much appreciated. If I can't fix it I'll just stick with the servlet approach, although it just seems a bit messy.
(I'm using IE6 SP2, tomcat 5.5 btw)
Cheers,
Stuart

I'm doing a similar thing, but I use commandLink to lauch the window. CommandLink has the "target" attribute that I set to _blank. As you would expect, that opens up the page in the new window.

Problem with drop down list: on Windows it works, on Mac doesn't

Dear forum,
I am reworking the MultiPageImporter2.5 script by Scott Zanelli; going to add some new features.
So far I added a drop down list so the user could choose on which pages to place a pdf/indd file: odd/even/both.
However I encountered a strange problem: on Windows it works as expected, but on Mac nothing happens when I click the popup. When I write a dialog, I almost always use automatic layout and never encountered such a problem before. But in this script the author uses fixed position for the controls so I followed his coding style:
dLog.pageSideMode = dLog.pan4.add('dropdownlist', [10,110,180,40], ["Odd and Even Pages", "Only Odd Pages", "Only Even Pages"]);
dLog.pageSideMode.selection = pageSideMode;
The drop down list is visible both on Windows and Mac, but on Mac it’s not clickable. What am I doing wrong?
Another question: in the script, the author created three popups. In the code, each popup has a different height (the last element of the “bounds” array) – 60, 88, 33. Does it make sense to make them different if on the screen they look exactly the same (I mean height).
Here’s my version of the script.
I think the easiest solution for me here is to rework the dialog part from fixed to automatic layout.
Thanks in advance.
Kasyan

Hi johniko,
In my version of the script, the user will have to choose a file to be placed directly in the dialog box. The selected file can be saved into a preset. I'm reworking it for another person (not for myself) and that's what he wants.
Regards,
Kasyan
P.S. By the way, you can simply merge all your pdf-files into a single document in Acrobat.

Firefox 15.0.1 not working on Vista 32-bit nor Windows XP after update. Server Not Found error.

I recently updated to Firefox 15.0.1 on 2 separate PCs. One PC is Windows Vista 32-bit with Comodo Internet Security. Other PC is Windows XP with Avast. Previous version of Firefox was operating fine on both before update. I have exhausted all suggestions from this site to get the new update to work but it does not.
On Vista PC, Chrome and IceDragon also have the same server error but IE works. And I've followed all the suggestions to allow access. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. Changed to no proxy. Tried the network.dns... changes and nothing.
Has Microsoft banned every other browser from operating with their systems via a recent update? I'm wondering if this is not the case since everything was fine prior to this.
I also have a Mac that uses Firefox 15.0.1 just fine since the update so this is exclusively a PC issue.
Windows Firewall and Defender are deactivated. Thanks for any insight you can share.

Does deactivating Comodo Internet Security or the other security software help anything? It might be that your security software is blocking Firefox from accessing the internet.

Problem opening device from Java on Windows XP

Hi,
I am having trouble opening the TUN device (it is a virtual network device developed by the OpenVPN project - http://openvpn.net) from Java on Windows.
I found from the registry that the key for the device on my machine is
{5998ABF4-70CC-4B8C-9CBF-F2B985BAD4A2}.
From elsewhere on the web, I found that on Windows this device can be
addressed as \\.\{5998ABF4-70CC-4B8C-9CBF-F2B985BAD4A2}.tap
I then wrote up a short C code,
char *tun_dev_name = "\\\\.\\{5998ABF4-70CC-4B8C-9CBF-F2B985BAD4A2}.tap";
FILE *f = fopen(tun_dev_name, "rw");
fclose(f);
HANDLE h = CreateFile(tun_dev_name, GENERIC_WRITE | GENERIC_READ, 0, 0, \
OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM | FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED, 0);
CloseHandle(h);In the above code, the FILE* returned is non-NULL and the HANDLE returned is positive.
However, when I try to do the same in Java using the code below,
String tun_dev_name =
new String("\\\\.\\{5998ABF4-70CC-4B8C-9CBF-F2B985BAD4A2}.tap");
RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(tun_dev_name, "rw");
[]/code]
a "java.io.IOException: Invalid argument" is thrown. The same exception is thrown when I try to open either FileInputStream or FileOutputStream instead of RandomAccessFile.
In fact, when I invoke the above C code as a native method from within Java,
though a valid HANDLE is still returned, the FILE* returned is now NULL. I
have tried giving all permissions to my codebase using Java's policytool, but that didn't help. BTW, I ran all this code on Windows XP from cygwin.
Clearly this problem isn't with OpenVPN because I'm able to open the device using both fopen and CreateFile from C. Please let me know if one of you knows what the problem could be and what I need to do to fix it. In case, this is not the right forum for this question, kindly let me know which other forum I should pose this question on.
Thanks!
Harsha

I am sorry but looks like somehow some text got missed out from my message.
After the C code and before the Java code, I had intended to mention that when that C code is compiled and run independently, both the fopen and CreateFile calls work fine, with a non-NULL FILE* and a valid HANDLE being returned, respectively.
And as I have already mentioned, when I invoke the C code as a native method from within Java, the CreateFile still works but the fopen fails returning NULL.
Sorry for missing that out. Hope somebody will be able to help me out.
Thanks!

Problem opening files stored in a windows server using kde/smblcient

i use archlinux64/kde 4.3.3 at work. my laptop is conneted to a network having a windows 2003 server. All the network shares(if i remember correctly are ntfs) are on this server, so i use the smb:// protocol through dolphin and konqueror(as far as i know smbclient is used on the background).
the server is full of pdf and doc files and my problem is that i cannot access these files directly, getting an error saying that it is not supported by the os, so every time i have to copy the file locally and then open it.
any suggestions to avoid copying the files locally?

mechmg93 wrote:
i want to avoid mounting my shares over fstab, because i use a laptop and there is no permanent network connection which makes the whole thing more complexed(order of daemons, when netfs should be started etc).
i read that a possible solutuon is changing the command of openoffice writer from oowriter %U to oowriter %f, which makes it copy the file to /tmp .
I cannot test it right now, cause im at home, but it seems that it may solve my problem.
As I mentioned in my previous post, you can set "noauto" in your fstab entries and mount selectively the shares you want with "sudo mount /share". That way you won't have to mess with daemons' order etc. The solution you found with openoffice reminds me of the problems I had with mplayer playing files through samba - I had to add a parameter like the one you post, but still I couldn't get it to work properly as the files had to get downloaded locally first. The only way to use my shares as local drives was to use the fstab.

Having problems opening photoshop 7.0 in windows 7

I installed photoshop 7.0 on Windows 7 (64 bit). When I try to open it I get the following prompt:" Could not initialize Photoshop, Scratch disks are full". I contacted Microsoft, they were not able to resolve the issue, they suggest I contact Adobe and get back to them, if problem is not resolved. Is there a fix for this problem?

try resetting your preferences by holding down shift-ctrl-alt while starting ps. you'll see a confirmation dialog if done correctly.
if that fails, use a hd less than 1 tb
if that fails, uninstall and reinstall using compatibility mode (with a compatibile os).

Problem opening ODBC data source in Windows 2003

I am having difficulty opening a ODBC data source in SQL
Server 2000 running on Windows 2003 using ColdFusion MX7 (it works
cleanly on the same database on windows 2000 server). Anyone has
any ideas.

Here it is, there is an issue with our Search functionality with the new SDN:
Symptom
When setting location on a Crystal Reports XI Report using the Progress OpenEdge ODBC Driver in Crystal Reports 2008 or Crystal Reports 2011 get “Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source. Please specify the table required for any unmodified tables.”
Environment
Crystal Reports 2008 or 2011
Progress OpenEdge ODBC Driver
Reproducing the Issue
Open a Crystal Report created in CR XI Report using the Progress OpenEdge ODBC Driver in Crystal Reports 2008 or 2011
Set location to a new ODBC Data Source
Get error "some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source. Please specify the table required for any unmodified tables.”
Cause
Crystal Reports XI only creates aliases for tables with special characters or duplicate names.
Crystal Reports 2008 introduces a change which requires aliases for all tables.
Aliases are not created when doing a Set Location on the whole data source.
If a Customer has hundreds of reports they cannot set location of each table and fix the aliases.
Resolution
Upgrade to Crystal Reports 2011 Support Pack 02 or higher
Under registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Crystal Reports\Database\ODBC] create string UseTableNameAsAlias and set it to PGPRO1019.DLL, PGOE1022.DLL. Registry file is attached.
Keywords

Problems with installing Photoshop CS4 Extended (Windows)?

Just got new software today and am unable to install it. I keep getting the following error message: DATA_FILE_VERSION. I then have to click ok and then the screen gets hung up with the hour glass. When I try and force quit, I get another error: autoplay.exe not loading.
Anyone else have this problem with this particular program? I've never had a problem installing any software from Adobe or otherwise. Can't seem to get support techs to answer the phone to get help.

Googling only comes up with a couple things where someone was trying to
install a cracked version they downloaded, so it could be a corruption
problem.
If this is a downloaded installer, then redownload it and try installing,
again.
If you are inserting a DVD and autoplay is starting up and you get this
message, you can shut down the installer process as you've done then instead
of double-clicking the DVD, use right-click Explore to view the files
directly on the DVD without running AutoPlay, then find the setup.exe or
something.MSI with EN in it's name to run the installer, directly, without
goint through autoplay. This would only make a difference if the autoplay
is corrupted somehow but everything else is ok. Since your error message
talks about autoplay then maybe that is the case.
If you are calling Adobe for support, it can take hours, depending on when
you call.
This "open letter to Adobe customers" was posted within the last few days
and basically apologizes for poor support, recently, while they change from
support-provider to another:

Firefox can't open any Microsoft link - get "windows stopped working error"

When I try to open a Microsoft Word or xls file (not Powerpoint), I get the useless Microsoft popup: "Microsoft X has stop working. Windows is looking for a solution....". This just started the other day and I haven't made any changes to my computer. I don't know if this an Office or Firefox issue. It happens on multiple website/programs in Firefox.

kimski: I'm not sure about Word/Excel as I prefer LibreOffice over Microsoft Office.
The screenshots of your crash report is caused by Adobe Flash.

If you still get crashes after that, try to disable Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 and above by adding the line ProtectedMode=0 to the Flash "mms.cfg" file located in one of these locations: [46]
(Windows 32bit) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
(Windows 64bit) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
For example, on a Windows 7 64-bit system, open the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, copy the file "mms.cfg" to the desktop, open it in Notepad, add a new line <code>ProtectedMode=0 </code> and then close Notepad, saving your changes. Next, go back to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, rename the original file to "mms.cfgBAK" (to save it as a backup) and then drag and drop in the modified "mms.cfg" file from the desktop.
Note: To re-enable Flash Protected Mode, either restore a backup of the original mms.cfg file, if you saved one, or else re-edit the mms.cfg file to remove the <code>ProtectedMode=0 l</code> line you added. Updating Flash Player or installing a newer version does not automatically re-enable Protected Mode

Touch screen doesn't work after Vista Home64-bit upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium on IQ506

Hello, right before I upgraded to Win7, I made sure that the Touchsmart software worked and that the touch screen itself worked. As soon as I performed the upgrade (not the clean upgrade that wipes all your existing data, but rather the upgrade that carries over your applications and files), the touch screen ceased to work.
I didn't panic, thinking that I probably had to run some windows/hp updates, which I did to no avail. I also manually updated ALL the driver/software files found at this link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=4063&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us〈=en&product=3752245
Yup, every single one. As a last resort, I tried some of the HP troubleshooting for touch screens not working. It said to shut down the computer, pull the plug on the computer, hold the power button for 5 seconds, plug the computer back in, and boot it up again. Didn't help at all.
I'm at the end of my rope and there is no additional HP support on this. I'm waiting for a reliable driver update for win7 for this **bleep** touch screen. I'm dead in the water -- I've got a touchscreen computer whose touchscreen doesn't work! Someone else out there must be having this problem! Any leads?

Did you try installing the Touch Driver?
