Problems with MainConcept and Startup - information please?

I'm trying to help some friends who have PhotoShop Elements on their 64-bit Vista computer.  Beginning a day or two ago, whenever they'd start their computer, two Explorer windows open, both to "Documents."  I wasn't able to find anything that looked like it should cause such a problem, finally settled for systematically going thru the ENTIRE (extensive!!) list of Startup programs in System Configuration Utility (Start > msconfig.exe), and disabling a Startup program, and then doing a Restart.  When the machine would start back up, the two Explorer windows would again open.  I would go back into SCU, re-enable the last, and then disable the next.
Finally, when I disabled MainConcept, the problem went away.  I tried several restarts;  it really seems to have solved the problem.  When I re-enabled it, the problem returned.  All other Startup programs are enabled;  this is the only change.
Has anyone else seen a problem like this?
Any explanation?
What are the implications of leaving MainConcept disabled in Startup?

I have already tried reducing the MTU as well as the Beacon Level, Threshold, and Fragmentation. That did not work. To get the ip address of the modem is where I do cmd prompt ipconfig right. If so, I have not done that yet and since I am at work I will do that when I get home. the ports I have opened on the router for the xbox were 80, 88, 53, and 3074. Like I said when I did that it actually got worse cause my NAT was open but then it went to Strict.

  • Problems with WRT160N and Xbox 360 - please help

    Hello,
    I have recently purchased a WRT160N router and when I play games online (Halo 3 or Modern Warfare 2) it takes around 10 min to find a game while in the lobby. I don't get kicked out or signed out of my profile it just takes a long time. It says that my NAT type is Open. I have isolated that the problem is the router because if I plug an ethernet cable from the 360 to the DSL modem I find games instantly. I have looked up port forwarding and opened the ports on the 360 and specifically for modern warfare 2 and it actually made my NAT type go to strict, ironic. I have spent 5 hours trying to mess with this and can't seem to get it working right. If someone could please help me on the settings or have any other ideas that would be greatly appreciated. 
    Solved!

  • Problems with Superdupe and then Winclone - please help!

    Okay..
    I just got a 17" and I used Superdupe to clone my 15" and used Winclone to do the same for my windows partition.
    I bought a new 500 gig hard drive and formatted it. I formatted it to Mac OS Extended Journaled with just one partition.
    After cloning (2 hours or so..) - I restarted with the new hard drive in the new 17" and went to bootcamp and it says...
    "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
    Ok - so I went back to disk utility and did it all over again - making sure there is just one partition... now after 2 hours and super duper working again.. I am getting the same message from Boot Camp..
    Any help!!! I just did this about a month ago and did not have this problem.. I think what I did last time was partition the drive in Mac and boot in windows and make the partition a windows format.. which I think worked.. but I cant remember..
    Its about to drive me nutz..
    thanks!

    I have no idea what you are doing since you didn't make that very clear. However, what you need to do is this:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to One. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    I would be careful about trying to restore your clone from your other computer because the new 17" may require a new build of OS X. If you restore your other system it may not be fully compatible or not even boot the new one. Better to install the version of OS X that was included with the new computer's installer discs. You can always restore your data files separately from your backup clone.
    Once you have a working system open Boot Camp Assistant and use it to create a new Windows partition to which you can restore your Wincloned backup. Note that in earlier versions of WinClone it would only restore a Windows partition to the same hardware. It may not restore to your new hardware.

  • Problem with Ipad and Home Sharing - Please Chime In

    Just got my ipad and love it.  But, can't seem to get home sharing working.  I have set it up and can successfully share between two different computers on the network.  I set up the ipad in settings/ipod and it doesn't give me an error message (which I can force with a bad password), so it seems to be talking to the cloud (plus the ipad is generally able to hit the internet and the internal network is free of firewalls.  But, when I go to the ipod icon I don't see any little house on the "library bar".  Right now, I should even see two (for both computers that can see each other and are sharing.  What am I missing here?  Any suggestions?  I've already upgraded to the newest itunes and even tried a new itunes account, to no avail.  Restarted the ipad, etc. 
    I need your ideas.  Thanks.

    OK. Done. But I still do not understand how I ended up with the duplicates ?

  • Problems with bxslider and fancybox. Please help!

    Hi guys,
    I'm making a site for a client and have made a gallery using FancyBox. Everything worked fine until I implemented bxSlider into the gallery.
    The two are conflicting - although it seems that bxSlider has the upper hand as that still works (albeit out of position at the moment!)! The images using FancyBox just load the link to the image as if FancyBox wasn't installed...
    If you click here, you can hopefully see what I mean.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get both to work?
    Thank you,
    SM

    I didn't see it the first time, you still have 3 versions of jquery. 1.7.1, 1.7.2 and jquery-latest.js (v1.8.1).
    The best way to get all of these scripts to function on the same page, would be to start with scripts written for the same version of jquery. I know 1.8.x had some issues (from a post by Nancy O.) and older scripts stopped working. It might be best to use 1.7.2 now that I think of it.
    You might be able to use 1.7.2 in place of the first jquery reference and clear out the other two references. If that doesn't work, you're going to need to find or re-write compatible scripts.

  • Real Problems with Feedburner and iTunes. Please help!

    I've tried numerous things to figure out whats going on but havent been able to pin point it. Maybe someone here can help. My latest podcast episode has not shown up in iTunes yet and it has been almost 2 days. I've tried pinging the iTS and pinging feedburner but I'm not sure what's going on. For my first 2 podcasts everything went fine but for this one, the feedburners site says it was unable to create an enclosure for the podcast. Any clues on where to even start? I'm not really a code guy so I don't know what to do. Here's my feed URL and the site I post my podcasts too:
    http://moviepool.wordpress.com/feed/
    http://moviepool.wordpress.com
    feedburner feed:
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/moviepool

    interesting. I see they are in the iTunes Store now. Last night after I pinged iTunes AND feedburner it didn't show up. What is the usual wait time for pinging the sites? Maybe I need to just be a little more patient
    All I care about are the actual mp3 episodes of my podcasts. I don't care about the other links or image files.

  • When I purchase and app or update it, it comes up with 'There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please enter another payment method'?

    So when I go to update my apps and/or purchase them, a pop up comes up saying 'There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Tap continue and sign in to view billing information.' So I press continue and sign in, then it goes to my 'Payment Method' page. In red writing below, it says 'There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please enter another payment method.' Because I used a MasterCard for my last purchase, it won't let me change it. I redeemed my account from an Itunes gift card to $20 but I cannot use it as it doesn't give me the option of using it. My only billing options are either a Visa Card, MasterCard or Amex Card. Please help me if possible!!!

    same here. i was using a visa card ...now  i can't because of this "error". my account is not empty, info is correct, don;t understand why this is happening. Two days ago it was working fine, then i wanted to update an app, and this stuff begins.

  • There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again.

    We have Adobe Reader 8.1.3 set to open in the browser.
    We are trying to open PDF files within IE Browser. While opening multiple documents in the IE Browser, we get "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again." error, once we click on the "OK" button, PDF file opens in the Adobe reader. This happens randomly while some files open up in IE Browser and some files get the above mentioned error message and open in the Adobe Reader.
    We need to open all the PDF files in the IE Browser. Any input is greatly appreciated.

    I may be better off without the tool bar, but I have found anohter solution;
    .  Open Adobe Reader,

                under Preferences
                go to Internet, uncheck "Display pdf in browser"
    The pdf files then open, but not in the browser

  • Hi! Everyone, I have some problems with JOIN and Sub-query; Could you help me, Please?

    Dear Sir/Madam
    I'm a student who is interested in Oracle Database and
    I have some problems with JOIN and Sub-query.
    I hope so many of you could help me.
    if i use JOIN without sub-query, may it be faster or not?
    SELECT field1, field2 FROM tableA INNER JOIN tableB
    if i use JOIN with sub-query, may it be faster or not?
    SELECT field1,field2,field3 FROM tableA INNER JOIN (SELECT field1,field2 FROM tableB)
    Thanks in advance!

    As the others have said, the execution plan will give you a better idea about which is faster.
    If you're trying to see how using (or not using) a sub-query affects performance, make the rest of the queries as similar as possible.  For example, include field3 in both queries, or ignore field3 in both queries.
    In this particular case, I guess the optimizer would do the same thing either way, but that's just a guess.  I can't see your execution plans.
    In general, simpler code is faster, and better in other ways, too.  In this case
    tableB
    is simpler than
    (SELECT field1, field2  FROM tableB)
    Why do you want a sub-query in this example?
