Problem with mode switching/Volume Panel in multi-user environment?

As above - using Windows 7 64-bit with an X-Fi Titanium Fatalty card.
All works well as long as I'm the only person logged in, but if my wife logs into the computer (using Windows 7's built-in multi-user mode...'fast user switching', which is enabled by default), and then I log back in...well, the volume panel app doesn't seem to work. In fact, even using the control panel app, I can't regain control of the soundcard enough to switch modes.
Logging her off doesn't resolve the issue, so it seems like something about her logging on (another user logging in, two volpanlu.exe running, something) is causing my instance to go haywire. [FWIW, I'm a 'standard' user on the PC, and her login is a 'limited' user]
Note that 'killing' the task volpanlu.exe in task managed, then going to the Windows services control panel and stopping and re-starting the 'Windows Audio' service, and finally re-launching volpanlu.exe from the start menu DOES always work to resolve the problem (regardless of if she's logged in or not...this always fixes it).
Still, that's a kinda annoyingly large set of steps to always have to go through whenever I want to change audio mode after she's logged in.
Is there any way to fix this? Any setting I could be missing to optimize the X-Fi control panel for multi-user environments? Any of the X-Fi mod dri've packs handle fast user switching better? Any other ideas?

GA little bit more tinkering around this, and I have some more information:
- Once I "seize control" (the kill of volpanlu, restart 'Windows Audio' service, re-launch volpanlu), if my wife logs back in, now *she* can't change the audio mode

    That works but the the game will not be in full screen, it will have an empty strip at the bottom.
    I actually found out what's the problem. I traced the stageWidth and stageHeight during resizing event. I found out that when it first resized, the stage width and height were the size with the notification bar. So when I pass the stage into startling, myStarling = new Starling(Game,stage), the stage is in the wrong size. For some reason, I can only get the correct stage width and height after the third resizing event.
    So now I need to restart Starling everytime a resizing event happened. It gives me the right result but I am not sure it is a good idea to do that.
    And thanks a lot for your time kglad~I really appriciate your help.

    Hi. A JDBC connection pool is a set of identical, interchangeable, pre-made
    connections, and the controls to make sure only one user uses a particular
    connection at any one time. If you want to have different DBMS users, you can
    have a separate pool for each DBMS user, which may contain as many or few
    connections as you want. Some applications has a pool for the accounting
    applications, and another for the sales applications etc. Some do have a
    separate pool for john, jane, joe etc, each with one connection. Pools
    can be created and destroyed dynamically using the dynamic pool API.

  • BC4J - Multi-User Environment

    Can someone explain, how to setup a BC4J project in a multi-user environment. In my case I want to create 50-100 Users in the database (I don't prefer creating a table and storing usernames and passwords in that table as in Auctions example). Do I need to create a connection.properties with 50-100 user connections? How does the connection pooling work in such a case. I am sure that someone might have went through this process. I need some input.

  • UPK11 - multi-user environment - manage author permissions - help

    We are configuring our UPK 11 multi-user environment.
    As we have it set, the "everyone" group has modify access to all folders.
    I would like to have a few admins have modify access to the system folder and everyone else be read only.
    Here's my dilemma -
    My admin profile is also a part of the everyone group - so if I set the permissions on the everyone group to read only, that effects the admin login as well.
    The documentation says that if I set up an author with explicit folder permissions, that they are not included in the everyone group, but everytime I try, they are added (irrevocably) to the everyone group before I can even assign an explicit permission.
    I tried to set the everyone group to read only and nearly hobbled my admin account.
    Can someone who has managed authors in a UPK 11 multii-user environment send out some tips?
    I'm not understanding the documentation well enough to make headway.
    [email protected]

    Hi Paul,
    I recently performed an implementation of UPK 11 at a client and had to show one of their employees how to administer the security surrounding profiles and authors.
    The group "Everyone" is default, and each person will belong to that group. It seems that when a person is assigned to another group/with author-specific permissions, it will override that which is set to the "Everyone" group.
    What I normally suggest (and implement) is that you modularise your security (separate the authors into their respective departments), and then create those departments as groups, and then assign permissions as required. Lets use an example - it assumes you are logged in as an admin user:
    I create 3 folders (where 4 and 5 are defaults):
    1. HR
    2. FIN
    3. CS
    4. Administrators
    5. Everyone
    Each author is defaulted to number 5, and all administrators should be included in group 4.
    Now the goal is to prevent HR and FIN from modifying CS, and vice-versa for the other two groups.
    You will see in your library that the root is defined as "/". Firstly, ensure that the Administrators group has Modify access to this folder (Administration --> Manage Groups --> Permissions). I think you need to click on edit, then click on the "Add" button (under permissions), and choose the root folder "/" - ensure it has modify - by default this value should already exist. This now ensures that the security is filtered down to all sub-ordinate folders that exist under the root folder - you do not need to manually assign "modify" permissions to each folder for the Administrator group, as you have already done so at root level.
    You will also notice that there is a "Members/Users" tab (can't remember off the top of my head which), and this allows you to select the profiles/authors that have Administrator group priviledges - ensure the correct users are selected.
    I normally leave the "Everyone" group as it is - do this for now, ensure everyone is included in it, and only modify after you have implemented and tested your security structure if needs be - normally the other group permissions override the "Everyone" group permissions.
    Next step is to assign department specific permissions to the 3 folders we created. Navigate to Administration --> Manage Groups, and ensure that you begin by editing the first department group (HR) - create the group if not already done, then edit (little pencil logo). You would like all HR users to have full modify access to their folder only, but they must not be able to mess around with the other two departments or the "System", "Getting started with UPK" and "/" folders. Under permissions, click on the Add button, and ensure that the folder "HR" has modify priviledge. Add the remaining 4 folders (CS, FIN, System, Getting started with UPK), and assign either Read or Read/View permission - this will ensure all other folders cannot be modified by HR users. Add the relevant HR users to the group under the "Members/Users" tab.
    Apply the same for FIN and CS respectively.
    Now you could get to a point where you may need cross-departmental access for a few users (FIN may need to access some HR content). I recommed that you do this on the user level, and not the group level, as you will limit who can access other departments. Navigate to Administration --> Manage Authors. Click on the specific user that will require access to another department. Edit his profile and under the permissions tab, ensure that he has required access to the other department folder (or sub-folders only) by adding and assigning the priveledge. This should ovveride the group security set for that specific department - but only for this user!
    Test by attempting to create content in an un-authorised folder (when logged in as a normal user). Test admin account by creating content in each folder. If it works - you will no longer need to modify "Everyone", as your permissions are defined under the other groups. I hope this all makes sense?
    Thats it in a nutshell really.
    I hope that this helps, and feel free to get back to me if you are still unsure?

  • Problems with SRW224G4 switch and Bridged Network Cards

    Hello,
    We have recently installed a SRW224G4 switch and have discovered that when we plug our DELL PowerEdge 2900 server into the switch, the switch loses all network connectivity and all of the LED's on the switch start flashing.
    The server works perfectly well plugged into another switch, but as soon as we introduce the SRW224G4 into the network, either with the server plugged into that switch or any other, the problem re-occurs.
    The only way we found we could eliminate this issue was if we disabled the Bridged Network connection on the two network cards on the server. If we do that, everything is fine, except the network performance of the server has dropped significantly.
    The server is plugged into the 1GB ports on the switch, although we tried it on the 100MB ports and received the same problems. The switch reports that the ports are running at full-duplex.
    Has anyone noticed this behavior before, and more importantly been able to rectify it.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance,
    Paul

    I had this problem as well with any Linksys 2024 or rackmountable switch..  The trick is, you need to use the network cards management software to "team" or bridged the 2 NIC's otherwise the switch detects a loop and the whole thing locks up. So lame...  Windows built in bridge mode stinks dont use it.  When you use the Intel management software or Dell or HP's NIc management software you have the option to actually choose "redundant mode" where you can pick a Nic to be the primary, or you can choose Load Balancing where you can essentially double your throughput by joining the 2 nics.
    In Windows 2008 Server, you actually do this by going to the Properties on the NIC in  Device Manger.  the software controls are now built right into the driver.  pretty neat.  2003 you can check Device Manager the same way but not sure if it's the same as 2008, you might need to run the actual NIC management app.
    Hope this helps

    To answer my own question:
    The documentation really sucks.
    I found this reply from Adobe <http://forums.adobe.com/message/2540890#2540890>
    usually we recommend to install custom panels into the "user" location at:
    WINDOWS XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
    WINDOWS VISTA: C\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
    MAC OS: /user/username/Application Data/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/2.0/panels/
    The reason why your panels did not work properly was a missing Flash trust file for that user location. Without such a trust file the embedded flash player refuses to "play" your custom panel.
    Please see section "Trust files for custom panels" in the XMPFileInfo SDK Programmer's Guide on page 50 for all details on how to create such trust files.
    After many wasted hours I have now the simple panels running.
    Cheers,
