Problem starting LR on Windows 7 PC (x64)

Hello:
I was wondering if someone is having the same problem with Lightroom 2.5 (x64): After installing LR on a Windows 7 PC (x64), the desktop
shortcut is not working. I have tried deleting the shortcut and creating a new one, tried to start LR directly from C:\Program Files\...\lightroom.exe, even re-installed the program, but nothing seems to work.
The only way I can start Lightroom is by running it as Administrator, which is strange because the "Run as Administrator" box in Properties is unchecked, and all other programs (including Photoshop CS4) are starting from shortcuts without any problems.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Luc

LucN had this to say:
Hello:
Thank you for your feedback. Actually, it was a clean install.
In the meantime I have been able to figure out what the problem was: the Lightroom Catalog was in a directory (on my data HD) other than the default one ("My Pictures" in C:\Users\...).
My catalog is on an entirely different drive than the "default" one.
This way, even if I lose my C: drive, I don't lose the catalog, or the
pictures (I have backups, but I still gain by not having to restore all
that, as well as the OS, in the event C: dies)

HP PhotoSmart C4599 problems with Wireless on Windows 7 x64

Hello, I have a printer HP PhotoSmart C4599 running great on my Windows 7, but the problem is the Wireless of the printer. I've got a laptop (running on Windows Vista x86) that I use to print documents via Wireless and when i try to add the printer by wireless on the laptop it says the main computer (the one that is running Windows 7 x64) does not have the OEM proper driver installed, and it has...
Anyone has a solution to make the wireless of the HP PhotoSmart C4599 to work on Windows 7? I really appreciated.
Hope to hear some quick responses.
Thank you.

Verify that power outlet is working with a lamp or other appliance.
Verify power cord and power module are correct parts for that specific printer. Compare the Output voltage on the power module (the black box) with the listed voltage on the printer where the power cord plugs in. These must be the same
Remove power cord and power module from printer and power outlet. Separate power cord and module (let stand for 15 seconds)
Plug Power Cord into Power Module (plug firmly together)
Plug Power Cord with module directly into WALL outlet (Remove any surge protector or extension cords and plug printer cord directly into wall socket)
Check to see if power cord or module has LED light.
If has LED make sure it is glowing (if not glowing then replace power cord and module)
If no LED Plug cord into printer - make sure it is plugged in properly and firmly.
Press power button on printer to power up. If does not power up first time hit power button a few times to see if it works.
if you happen to have another printer with same power cord configuration (fits specs) try these steps again
If printer will not become responsive at this point, then you'll need to replace the printer.
if it is a hardware issue, contact HP support at 1-800-474-6836. Often there are special offers on replacements available to returning customers who are having hardware issues.

No embedded video (empty bar) in FF ver. 15 32bit. Sound plays. Flash ver. 11.4.402.265. No problems in IE. Windows 7 x64.

Installed FF 15 (32 bit) on a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate edition (x64).
Everything works fine except the embedded video.
The video clip thumbnail is shown, when clicking on the clip the sound plays and the right-mouse click shows flash player options, but no video is shown (empty bar).
No problems on original YouTube or other flash video sites were detected.
No crashes detected.
Please, advise.

1) Started the FF in Safe Mode.
The embedded video works normally (!!!)
2) Re-started the FF in normal mode - got the problem.
3) Disabled ALL plugins and ALL add-ons (except the flash player) in Normal Mode - got the problem (once again, ALL plugins / add-ons were disabled).
Safe Mode - everything works.
Normal Mode - problem occurs (with no relation to disabling plugins / add-ons).
Looks like there's something built-in FF which has the problem with showing embedded video normally in FF Normal Mode.

Trouble starting RTMT on windows 7 x64

Hi, can anyone help me with a problem I'm having with the RTMT tool for call manager version 8.6.1.20000-1?
I can't run the RTMT tool.
When I launch the installer two processes show up in my task manager: javaw.exe and JRtmt.exe. They dissapaer (close) in about half a second. No error message is displayed, no logs (that i can find) are made, and no UI shows up.
I have already tried:
-running in compatibility mode
-running as administrator
-Restarting the machine
-Reinstalling RTMT
-Downloading a replacement RTMT installer from Cisco (verified via md5)
-Installing on a different computer
-Disabling Anti-virus applications
-Restarting into selective start-up mode
-Reinstalling Java
-Opening a TAC ticket.
The tech note here:

-RTMT stuck at loading please wait: Not quite my issue but I did the solution anyway which was to run the run.bat file located in the RTMT install directory, this is the output from the CLI:

Problem installing CF8 on Windows 7 x64

Hello. I am trying to install ColdFusion 8.0.1 64 bit on the Windows 7 RC x64. I already had CF8 on Windows 7 beta 32 bit OS and it ran just fine. For some reason I can't seem to get CF installed. I'm guessing it's because of the fact that it's a 64 bit OS, but I don't understand why. The installation process works fine until I get to the step where I have to configure my web server. I am trying to install CF on an Apache server (which I have successfully done in the past). When I click on the Add button, the JRE window pops up and freezes. Nothing happens when I click on the Browse button to point to the configuration directory or the bin directory. It won't even respond when I try to cancel out of the window. Any ideas are welcome right now, because I'm out. I don't know what to try. Thanks.

You'll need to setup 2 things:
- in httpd.conf you'll need to add the config entries to load the jrun
connector module (extract mod_jrun20.so from wsconfig.jar)
LoadModule jrun_module "C:/jrun4/lib/wsconfig/2/mod_jrun20.so"
JRunConfig Serverstore "C:/jrun4/lib/wsconfig/2/jrunserver.store"
JRunConfig Bootstrap 127.0.0.1:51020
AddHandler jrun-handler .jsp .jws .cfm .cfml .cfc .cfr .cfswf
Alias /CFIDE/ "c:/jrun4/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/CFIDE/"
- in jrun.xml enable the JrunProxyService and make sure it's the same
port as the one in httpd.conf

Problems with Itunes and Windows 7 x64

When I upgraded to Windows 7, Itunes no longer recognized my computer as one of the authorized ones from someone else's Itunes. The worst part is when I authorized my computer for the other person's Itunes last time, I was the 5th person to do so. Now I'm stuck because I can't just reauthorize my computer because it says it reached its max number, even though I'm not authorizing a new computer. Can someone give me an idea of what to do?

Is that ASUS rather than ISUS?
If so, I think I've found info on the motherboard ... if so it doesn't have the P55 or P55M chipsets that can be cranky on Windows 7 systems with iPod/iPda/iPhone connections.
Still, we'd better make sure your BIOS and chipset drivers for the board are up to date. Head to the following page at ASUSTek and use the Navigation Wizard to autodetect your motherboard version. Check to see if there are any BIOS updates, chipset driver updates or other driver updates available for it (say, integrated audio, display adaptors, raid controllers, etc):

If you're behind on anything, and you update, does that improve your syncing performance?

Flash Player upgrade installation problem - Windows 7 x64 & Firefox

Hello
It is impossible to upgrade the Flash Player to version 11.7.700.224 or 11.7.700.169
The antivirus DrWeb detects the installer as a virus (Trojan Downloader) and blocks the download process, but even disabling the antivirus and stopping its services (rebooting included) another problem appear:
The OS Windows 7 x64 rejects the installation saying that there is a program or component required that is not present.
The present version of Flash Player that I have installed is 11.4.r402.265, with this version is not problem for install, uninstall or configure, but Firefox claims that the version needs to be upgraded.
Also a new and strange and disturbing function has appeared.
In the address bar of Firefox at the left has appeared an Adobe icon the request if I want or not to activate Flash for each web page that contain flash elements.
For example: In YouTube each time I open the page is nescessary to reactivate Flash for to allow the video function, if not the video screens reamain in blank.
Many pages that have active contents force to reactivate Flash a lot of times.
For example: The free web storage servers (rapidshare, hotfile, etc) have routines of showing publicity during the login and startup of the upload/download process.
Each time that I need to reactivate Flash the whole page is reset and makes incredibly slow the use of the cloud storage services.

Hello
Google Chrome has it own Flash Player built in.
So you cannot uninstall it seperatly, only deactivate it.
And it is not Flash Player v11.2.x at this time.

Administrator account is disable when deploying windows 7 x64 captured image

I’m using MDT 2012 update 1. I create one deployment share with two task sequence.
The task sequences are: one for windows 7 x86 and the other one is windows 7 x64.
Both are working fine until I try to sysprep and capture with all the windows updates.
Sysprep and capture windows 7 x86 with all windows update work fine. I’m able to deploy the captured image without an error.
My problem is with the windows 7 x64 captured image. I’m able to sysprep and capture the windows7 x64 with all the windows update. Once the capture is completed, I change the .win file in my windows 7 x64 task sequence to point to the new .win file (capture
image with all the windows update). When I deploy windows 7 x64 on a pc, the OS get install but boot up to the sign on screen. The Task sequence does not complete. No error message. Cannot log in as local or domain administrator, account is disable.
Why does it work with my windows 7 x86 image and not with my windows 7 x64 image?
With my windows 7 x86 image the task sequence completed successfully with no error and it logon automatically in windows but not with my windows 7 x64 image.
Both task sequences are the same.
Let me know if any info for this please.
thanks

They should both work, perhaps you missed a step when creating the x64 image.
1. Verify that the Windows 7 x64 image was created cleanly, with no errors. Sysprep ran with no errors.
2. Verify that you created the windows 7 deployment task sequence cleanly. I would do a windiff of the TS.xml and unattend.xml file from both folders in the deployment share.
3. Try running without a domain. Some domain's have a GP set to disable the local administrator account.

Macbook Pro 15" (early 2011) unable to run Windows 7 x64

Dear Apple Support Community,
I encountered a problem trying to install windows 7 x64 on my MBP.
All the installation steps went well, until the point when I ran Boot Camp 5 (the suggested version for my computer) to install drivers. After the installation of these drivers, I restarted the system. After that, windows 7 booted up nicely and normally, until I selected the user and came to desktop. Then, the screen just suddenly went extremely dark (the machine was still running normally).
I suspect it might has something to do with the graphics driver and reinstalled it several times using different versions of Boot Camp. When I tried to install the Intel HD graphics 3000 driver, it said "your computer does not meet the requirement to install..", which confused me even further 8-}
How could I solve this problem?
p/s: please pardon my poor English.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Your MacBook has got two GPUs, and Windows is only using the dedicated GPU, which is the AMD Radeon HD 6490M or AMD Radeon HD 6750M. You have to install the graphic card drivers from the AMD site > http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx
Did you try to set the brightness with the F2 key?

ITunes with Aiport Express on Windows 7 x64

Since I installed Windows 7 x64 RTM, I have had stuttering problems when connecting to an Airport Express to play music. When I only play the audio on my computer, it plays fine. When I connect to an Airport express (either by itself or with multiple connections) is when the problem occurs.
I have tried different network card drivers as well as another network card, and the problem persists. I did not have any issues with Vista SP2 x64.
System Configuration:
Windows 7 Home Premium RTM
Gigabyte AMD780G motherboard
AMD Phenom 9550 (quad core) CPU
8GB RAM
750GB HD (mirrored RAID)
AMD 4850 graphics card (1680x1050)
Onboard gigabit LAN / Linksys PCI gigabit ethernet card
iTunes 8.2.1.6
Airport Express firmware 6.3
All wired Gigabit connections (except the 100mbps wired Airport)
Any ideas?

So I uninstalled all iTunes related software (iTunes, Apple update, Bonjour, etc.), deleted all registry entries for anything Apple related, rebooted, and reinstalled. Same thing happens.
I changed the wireless channel on the airports (even though they are wired and setup as routers, with nothing connecting to either) the problem still persists.
As I mentioned previously, I had no problems with Vista x64. My other machine still has Vista 64 and has no issues. The problem is with the Windows 7 x64 (RTM) machine (which again, worked flawlessly with Vista x64 installed).
So, this is an iTunes not liking Win7 problem.

Problems deploying Windows 7 x64 computers with more than 8GB RAM

SCCM 2012 R2 CU1
Windows 7 x64
We have a weird problem after upgrading from SP1 to R2 CU1. We have built a Windows 7 64 bit image with the latest updates (currently September 2014 updates). It deploys fine to all computers. But after some days – don’t know exactly – guess after 4-7 days
- we start getting errors on computers with more than 8 GB of RAM. The errors just start out of the blue. We didn't change TS, image or driver package.
The error shows in 3 different ways – depending of the computer model.
1) BSOD – STOP 0x000000F4. Disk error.
2) Task Sequence error 0x87D00269 when installing the first Application in TS. The error seems to have something to do with Management Point not found.
3) Task Sequence simply stops after installing CMclient. No errors - it simply stops.
For instance we get the BSOD on the Lenovo ThinkCentre M93p. But on the ThinkCentre M83 we get the TS error 0x87D00269. M93p and M83 uses the same driver package. They consequently fail every time after the error has begun. If we reduce (remove physically)
the memory to max. 8GB of RAM, they successfully run the Task Sequence. We get the above errors on both Lenovo and HP machines with more than 8GB.
I made a copy of the production TS and started testing. I created a new driver package for M93p/M83. It contains only the NIC drivers. Now M93p an M83 successfully finishes the TS. Adding sata or chipset or MEI/SOL drivers to the package I get the 0x87D00269
error on both m93p and M83. At least not the BSOD on the M93p ;-)
Tried setting SMSTSMPListRequestTimeout to 180 in the TS. Also tried putting in a 5 minute break before installing the first Application in the TS. Also tried putting in SMSMP=mp1.mydomain in the installation properties for the CMclient. It is still
the same problem.

Hopefully this is a bug in translating the errorcodes? Just to be sure I checked all the SCCM serviceaccounts and none of them have expired passwords. And again why only on computers with more than 8GB RAM.
Anyone else had problems rolling computers with more than 8GB og RAM?
Why does this happens after a few days? To begin with, it runs just perfect and then starts failing on all machines with more than 8GB. Without a change in TS, image and driverpackage. We have seen this pattern for the last 3 month after
updating our image with the latest Windows Updates. It all started after updating from SP1 to R2 CU1.
Why does it only affect machines with more than 8GB RAM?
How to get rid of the 0x87D00269 error?
Seems to be somehow related to driver installation mechanism in SCCM in combination with Windows 7 64 bit, +8GB RAM and SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 or perhaps just R2.
Any help or hints would be appreciated!
Thanks
Anders

We have the same workaround, using a x64 boot image resolved all our issues with WinPE 5.0.
Machines with >4GB of RAM
Lenovo ThinkPad T540p failed applying drivers with 80040005
Black screen/white cursor issues intermittently
No updates from Microsoft, they are still looking through the logs, but we have updated our boot images and all is well now. Our case it still open with Microsoft, they are researching the logs.

Common screen problem while playing games in Windows 7 x64

When I start games like Red Alert2 and alot others, the game doesn't show properly as some times the screen goes black or the buttons or menues doesn't show at all
Some other forums adviced to make these steps
Right click on Desktop
Select Screen Resolution
Click Detect (with no additional monitor connected)
Next to your first display, you'll see a grey square with the text "Another display not detected" Click on the grey square
Next to "Multiple displays" it will say "No display detected"
Click on "No display detected"
A drop-down menu will appear
Select "Try to connect anyway on: VGA"
Click on your primary display (the square with the big "1" in it)
Next to "Multiple displays" select "Extend these displays"
I tried these steps and every thing is going fine, but the annoying problem is that I have to change the display settings each time I run a game and when I'm done playing I have to change them back, since of "Extended displays" order
In earlier windows versions it worked totally with no problems and even on Windows 8.1 x64
What would be the error here?
What should I do instead of all this jam? Is there any Hotfixes?
Note: I have two video cards running Intel HD graphics and Nvidia Geforce
***Update :The problem also exists in Windows 8.1 x64

Hi Maen Abdulhaq,
“When I start games like Red Alert2 and a lot others”, ” I don't think that this is a manufacturer problem since it's very common to all those having windows 7 x64 and trying to play such games”
Did this issue occur in the whole games or just the Red Alert2 in your machines ?
“unfortunalety windows compatibility settings”
Have you tried in windows 98 or lower compatibility mode, please ensure you have choose run as an administrator?
Apart from this ,I recommend you to try this method.
create a shortcut of "Yuri.exe" (or "Game.exe" if running normal RA2), and place it on the desktop. Open the properties, and in the target line add "-dxlevel 8" to the end. It should look like this (or similar if you're directories
are different).
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer Red Alert(tm) II\RA2\YURI.exe" -dxlevel 8
Meanwhile, entering Intel HD Graphics control panel (via Windows Control Panel or right-clicking the desktop) and enter Power section. Choose "High performance" mode.
If the issue persists, I recommend you to disable one graphic card from the device manager to have a check considering you have two graphic cards.
Best regards

Firefox won't start (not even in Safe Mode) on Windows 7 x64

I am Running Windows 7 x64 and Firefox 3.6.15.
Since the day before yesterday I am unable to start Firefox. Even in Safe Mode it just won't start.
I click the Firefox icon, the mouse cursor changes to indicate the computer is doing something. After 3 seconds or so the mouse cursor again changes back to its default state. Nothing else happens.
The Task Manager in Windows shows me that an instance of firefox.exe is running, but I see no Firefox window.
Then if I again click to open Firefox, another firefox.exe instance starts, but again I see no Firefox window.
There isn't even a warning about one instance of Firefox already running.
What I have tried:
I have uninstalled Firefox, removed all the Firefox files and folders from c:\users\username\AppData\Local and Roamning. I re-downloaded the 3.6.15 installation package and re-installed.
No change.

I have the same problem.
The only Firefox version working is the 64bit nightly build 6.0a1. No 32Bit version of Firefox works!. Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer all work well.
Another Problem I have in this context is, that the Firefox Installer hangs in the tidy up step - even for the nightly 64Bit version. I have to kill the setup.exe process but the Installation seems to be completed.
Before my change to Win7 64Bit I had OpenText NFS Solo 14 installed on a 32Bit Windows7 and no Problems.
Is there a solution for this problem without uninstalling OpenText NFS Solo 14?
I need the NFS Server at work.

Problems Installing CS3 Web Premium on Windows Vista x64

I was (key word) having problems with my installation of CS3 on my brand new (3 days old) computer with Windows Vista x64. Finally after two days of installing and uninstalling, I called Adobe support. I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly they solved my problem (if only I had called sooner).
Having worked on this for 2 days I have seen and tried everything except of course the cure. So I wanted to put this out there for any one else that is having problems.
The symptoms:
- Everything seemed to install correctly (except acrobat which is another story. you can find lots of post about that.). No errors during installation. And when it finally completed installing, all that was left was to click "finish" which indicated to me that installation was successful.
- Open Photoshop. PS would open and immediately stop working. Vista said it was not responding.
- Open any of the other programs and the little vista circle would spin for 5 to 10 seconds then nothing. Program did not start to open. Just nothing.
The problem: Unbeknown to me (never saw an error message) "Licensing for this product had stopped working". When I described above symptoms tech support went straight to this.
The solution: Download the Licensing Service Update and run it. http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401528
Once I ran this, Photoshop opened and let me enter serial number and activate CS3.
If after your installation, Photoshop or any of the other programs seem to get stuck or you never get the dialog box to enter serial number, the Licensing Service Update should fix things for you.

wow...thank you so much for this posting. I just got home & followed your steps and now I have CS3 up & running. After 4 days of stressing out, finally someone was able to assist. Why can't the Adobe Experts & Employees on these forums supply this much needed information?????
I seriously understand why people want to get crack versions of this software rather than paying hundreds of dollars like us and avoid all this BS and get no support whatsoever!
Thank you again!!
