Problems in using Windows Explorer with VPC Virtual PC?

Has anybody experienced problems in using Windows Explorer with VPC Virtual PC?
Lacking any "forbidden" or "appropriate usage" guidelines, I regularly use Windows Explorer (Windows 2000) to transfer file from the desktop. I have occasionally sensed that this might be wrong. Today I inadvertently clicked the MAC harddrive instead of the Desktop (within Windows Explorer) and caused all manner of mischief.
Any other views please?

Let me correct this:

Any ideas please Virtual PC VPC users?

When using Firefox with ATT/Yahoo mail, the contacts list does not display. If I use Windows Explorer with ATT/Yahoo mail, the contacts list works fine.

No additional details. I just need to know how to solve the problem.

If you read the article [[Websites look wrong]], does it help any? I would recommend trying each step in that article, restart, test, if it doesn't work, move to the next step.

Multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe while using Windows Explorer Preview Pane

I'm trying to understand why our computers behave differently while browsing PDF files using Windows Explorer with the preview pane turned on.
All are Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.
The scenario: Open Windows Explorer with the preview pane turned on, go to a folder full of PDF files, and start single-clicking on them, one by one down the list. Keep Task Manager open, on the Processes tab, showing processes from all users, as you click on the PDF files.
On two of the computers, you can keep clicking right on the down the list, and the preview pane shows the PDF file contents immediately with each click. The Task Manager does not show any instances of AcroRd32.exe running, and the machine does not slow down no matter how quickly you go down the list of files. You can keep clicking all day.
On the other two computers, as you keep clicking down the list, after about six or seven clicks, the machine starts getting slower and slower in responding to display the PDF contents. In Task Manager, you see multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe executing, and the list keeps growing with more instances - I've seen up to 8, with memory allocations to some of the instances approaching 700MB! One of the CPU cores goes to 100%. If you stop clicking in Windows Explorer, eventually, the machine recovers, and the list of multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe shrinks, but never goes away completely until you close the Explorer window.
What could account for this difference? One of the users is complaining - he often browses folders of scanned PDFs looking for invoices, transactions, etc., and has to go slowly to keep his machine from bogging down. I don't know when this behavior started.
It doesn't matter if it is a shared folder on a network resource or one locally on the machine, or if it is an admin or standard Windows account - the behavior is the same. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader, to no avail.
Thanks for any ideas.

Yes i'm having this issue to.
Becomes worse after display many documents in pane, worst even if scanned images are in.
After killing the process, sometimes it generate even more process.
After Killing all the process, sometimes need to deactivate the pane view and activate
again to restore normal preview.
Sometimes it takes a lot of time to progress to file below, if i wait, going to files above, it pass
the file that shows delay, without any problem.
I add received from Microsoft, in answer to the same issue to uninstall adobe reader and install
latest version. It become a bit more stable, but problem still shows.
Abobe reader: 10.1.0, ATI latest drivers 11-07
Please, Help!

I get an "unable to connect" message yet I can connect and use Internet Explorer with no problem. I tried updating to Firefox4 and still get the same message. What do I do?

Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work

Photo problems and can i drag and drop files using windows explorer?

i can only sync photos frm my com to my touch but i cant choose which photos i want and i tried searching for the files in itunes and i cant find them, thus cant delete them...
on top of that, i can access the files in my touch but cant find any option to delete them...
when i go the photos tab in itunes, it only shows me the window to sync files and the 2nd question too...
because when i drag and drop on itunes, it's quite laggy...and if i use windows explorer to drag and drop, will the duplicates on my playlist appear as 2 files or will it be like itunes where it can detect the main file and simply adds it to the list?
thank you...
sorry for the wall of text...

There's no manual mode for photos just different ways to sync but here's a simple "How To" on managing your photos so that it's easy to add and delete what you want on the iPod:
1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
5 When you want to change what photos are on the iPod just add or remove the photos from the folder you have made and syncronise the the iPod
You can't drag photos or music to the iPod from Windows Explorer, you have to add content through iTunes or you'll not be able to view or play it.

Transfering Files Using Windows Explorer

Rather than using windows media player, why can't I just use windows explorer to add photos to my droid 2? When I hook up my droid 2 to my computer with the usb cable, the droid appears in windows explorer. I want to just drag and drop photos to the droid. I have tried this with a couple of photos and it seems to work. Will this method cause any problems? It seems a lot easier than using windows media player to "sync" files.

It apeaqrs that they automatically go into the photo folder. I was able to access them via the "Gallery" app.
I wonder why the user guide doesn't recommend this since I find it a lot easier to do than using the "sync" process?

How do you open the DVD tray on a K430 without using Windows Explorer?

How do you open the DVD tray on a K430 without using Windows Explorer? I can't find a button on or below the door. Am I missing something? Additionally, will the K430 boot from a DVD/CD if it finds one in the DVD tray instead of the hard disk? Please help. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi penguin247,
Regarding your questions:
1. Can you try to press the eject symbol on the DVD bay and observe if the DVD tray comes out.
Link to picture
2. By default, the HDD is set as the first boot device and the ODD second on the K430. You will need to change the boot order or continuously tap F12 during POST to boot from the ODD (assuming you have a bootable media inserted).

I've deleted Adobe Reader 11 and rebooted and reinstalled Adobe Reader 11 and I still get the error message that 'Adobe Reader is blocked because it is out of date'. Using Windows XP with the latest updates (SP3).

Google Chrome is a problem:
if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version. Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
My suggestion; use a different browser!

Overheating while using Windows XP with Bootcamp

Hi,
I bought a MacBook Pro last September 2009. The MacBook Pro came with Leopard but I installed Snow Leopard a couple of weeks later.
I need to use some Windows-based programs so I am using Windows XP with Bootcamp. However, I notice a high overheating when using Windows on Bootcamp (especially on the left side of the keyboard). Until now, the system doesn't crash but the overheating is a big problem for typing. This problem does not appear while I work on Snow Leopard.
Please, I would appreciate any help. I installed "SMCFanControl" but it only works under OS X (where there is not the problem). It doesn't control the fan on Windows under Bootcamp. Also, for this, I installed "SpeedFan" but it doesn't recognize the fans.
Thanks in advance.

A little solution that has helped me.

Notebook Hardware Control (NHC)
http://www.pbus-167.com/nhc/nhc.htm#anchor_download
Notebook Hardware Control has a Max Battery setting when you right click on it's icon in the notification section on the task bar (lower right). Make sure to apply this setting.
and as suggested by Kappy
Input Remapper
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Input-Remapper.shtml
This program allows you to adjust your fan speed without having to restart from Mac OS. Which is nice because with SMC if you close your macbook while running XP it will turn the fans off. Therefore you have to restart in Mac OS to turn the fan speeds back up.
The combination of the two has kept my cpu in the 65c range while heavy gaming and 45c at idle.
I have tried a lot of the ridiculous things that have been mentioned in both this thread and others. This solution has been an incredible relief because I certainly didn't want to get up every so often to run to the freezer or play over the air conditioner for several hours. I hope you have as much luck as I did.
My Mac is a late 2009 Macbook pro and I'm running XP in bootcamp.

No Default ACL when using Windows Explorer?

No matter what Default ACL I specify on any user's account,
adding new documents using Windows Explorer causes an initial
ACL of "Published". Also, when I right-click on the iFS network
drive and select "iFS User Profile", it shows the Default ACL
as "Published".
Is this a known feature?
I want my users to be able to do everything from Windows
Explorer, but they need to copy and paste "template" folder
structures. If they do this in Windows Explorer, the ACL's do
not get copied. I could understand if someone says the pasted
folders are new folders, so they should get the user's Default
ACL, but even that isn't working, so the users must go through
each folder/file and reestablish an ACL using Windows Explorer.
BTW, The Web Application copies the ACLs in a copy/paste
operation.
Thanks,
David Frankel

This is not the expected behavior for Oracle 9iFS. Please
contact your Oracle Support Services representative and log a

Hi. I use windows Xp with service pack 3. I have the latest itunes 11.1 installed in it. I am able to add music or apps to my library but not just videos. Please help.

Hi. I use windows Xp with service pack 3. I have the latest itunes 11.1 installed in it. I own ipad mini. I am able to add music or apps to my library but not just videos. I have already tried removing & reinstalling it. I also have tried with various formats like MPEG, MOV, MP4. Please help.

I already have what you ( ClayandLonnie ) have suggested with the preferences>Shareing Preferences set to share all.
I have tried turing it off, and then back on.
I have tried just sharing specific items and this still did not work.
I am going to try stepping back down to 11.04.4 as previously suggested by TheDarkCanuck when I get home tomorrow. (maybe saturday). I am just leary about having to recreate all my libraries and how long that might take. I have over 1.5 TB of Music and Video, that is why I would like to get it working in the current version.
Just because I don't have a Mac, it seems that this is not being taken as a real problem for the windows 7 users (maybe it is specific to 64bit). I may try the 32bit version to see if that fixes it first. Unless someone else has, and want to chime in.

Open Windows Explorer with path from IR?

Hi.
Using latest version of APEX on Oracle XE 10.
I have a database that has fields with UNC paths in. I want to be able to launch Windows Explorer with these paths from an Interactive Report... is this possible?
Thanks in advance,
Adam.

Hi, and thanks for the response.
I'm not sure if I've been clear in what I was asking as this seems like overkill at first glance - or maybe I just don't get what's actually involved! ;-)
E.g. Say my data was
Analyst : Mr Any Body
Date: 04/01/2012
Path: \\server1\vol1\DirA\Subdir1
I'd like the Path field to appear as a hyperlink that opens Windows Explorer with that path in the address bar. Is this not possible with javascript or something? Even if it is, I need some help with how/where to plug that into my Interactive Report.
If I used something other than an Interactive Report (e.g. just a regular form), could I code a button to do this task?
Thanks again,
Adam.

Specify an input file using Windows Explorer

Hi, I'm very new to Orchestrator.
Instead of writing stand-alone PowerShell scripts to perform tasks against an input file, I would like to use Orchestrator, thus avoiding the need to write the code.
Is there a way to specify an input file using Windows Explorer via Orchestrator? When invoked, I would like my Runbook to open up Windows Explorer, where I could navigate to my input file, then press OK and have my automated processes run. Do
I need to look beyond Orchestrator, say towards Service Manager, or is this natively available in Orchestrator?
Thanks,
Nick.

Hi,
there are several Ways.
you can use the SCO Webconsole, to start a Runbook and put in a Porpertie.
you can use SCSM with SMPortal to define the File
or you can use the free EUPSCO Portal, to build a Webfrontend for SCO

Hi,
not sure if coincidence or the same question, but the same question got asked internally. The seeded option is required to get the OJSP filter installed. Here's the internal response
ADF View integration with MDS not configured
In web.xml, you need to have mds-ojsp intg enabled to load jspx base + customizations from MDS. In your web project in Jdev, go to ADFv project properties and select “Seeded customization” property. It would enable mds-jsp engine configuration in web.xml. If you want to use user personalization feature at runtime, you would need to select “User customization” property as well which would enable ADFv change persistence config in web.xml.
Warning: Some of the metadata under ... is packaged as part of both WAR and MAR. This metadata cannot be accessed from WAR using MDS.
For these two packages, you are including the files in both WAR & MAR. This warning conveys that since these base files are being put in MAR, at runtime they would be read from mds repository & not from WAR.
