Protection Fault related to printing in CS5

When I went to set printer properties in InDesign CS5, I got a message "Function address...caused a protection fault. Some or all property page(s) may not be displayed." Expanding on advice in a previous forum posting, I renamed my printer by going to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > View Devices and Printers. I clicked on my printer icon and selected properties. The printer dialogue box came up and I renamed the printer in the "general" slot from "HP Photosmart D7500 series" to "HP Photosmart D7560" (though it probably could be any name). PRESTO! I am now able to print!. This was a new problem not encountered with a previous installation of CS5. It relates to CS5 and not other programs such as WORD. I don't need a response, since the problem is apparently solved, but I thought you'd like to know. Don't know why the problem arose in the first place.

Hi Terry,
Thanks for the reply.
I fixed the DAQ error by removing it, problem remained;
I commented out all the code in the timer, problem remained;
I changed timer to be 1 second, problem remained.
I did one more thing: try my project on CVI 8.0, and got the same GPF problem.
Looks to me it has something to do with line 2670 which has sprintf there. Because if I put another new line before this line like "i=i+1;", I could run through this line without error;
I also tried to replace "s" on line 2670 with another string var "ss", and got the same error.
Pls let me know. Thanks.

General Protection Fault in module WIN87EM.DLL while Running Windows XP Mode

I am attempting to run a legacy, 16-bit program, P3, on a Windows XP Mode Virtual Machine, hosted by a Windows 7 x64 box. When performing various activities in the program, I receive "P3 caused a General Protection Fault in module WIN87EM.DLL
at 0001:02C6." This occurs on multiple platforms (Core i5, Core 2 Duo).
Based on my research, I have found "The Windows 80x87 emulator library,
WIN87EM.DLL, works at the 16-bit-Windows level
to virtualize the coprocessor among multiple Windows-based applications that run inside the system VM."
It appears to me that, with the Virtual Machine using a Virtualized Processor (not related to the above reference to "virtualized coprocessor") as opposed to an emulated processor, the Virtual Math Coprocessor Device (VMCPD) and/or WIN87EM.DLL
generate an error from the virtualized processor (perhaps they do no recognize it?)
In addition "When the kernel loads an application, it checks to see if floating-point hardware is present. If a coprocessor is not present, the kernel uses the
fixup records to replace the actual floating-point instructions with
Interrupt 3x calls to emulation code in WIN87EM.DLL."
I have found some information that points to "hiding" the math coprocessor from the Virtual Machine, so it doesn't go to the processor. This apparently can be achieved by using a program called WinFloat which includes a tool called HIDE87, which is suppose
to hide the math coprocessor from the kernal.
The issue I'm running into is, to properly achieve this, HIDE87 must be loaded before Windows. I have tried a couple techniques, but I think I'm doing it wrong. I have tried adding the HIDE87 program to the System32 directory and then adding
HIDE87 (just before autocheck autochk *) to BootExecute under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
key.
For a little more info, when you run HIDE87 from the command prompt it reads "HIDE87: Int 11h hook installed (must reboot to remove)." The documentation says this is what needs to occur before Windows loads. You can find WinFloat here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/97265.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

This link helped point me to winfloat to solve the very same issue with WIN87EM.dll crashing under Windows XP on VMware 5 for an old legacy Windows 3.1. I thought I would mention that the original approach taken by tstock_sjc should work fine. First
off, winfloat is a self extracting executable and we really don't want to run winfloat, but rather hide87.com which is a tiny TSR that is inside the winfloat archive. When you run any DOS or Windows 3.1 executable, Windows XP first boots up (if one isn't
already running) a mini-MSDOS 5 environment called NTVDM.exe. Just as with the original MSDOS, when the shell loads, it loads files similar to config.sys and autoexec.bat. Of course, there are more restrictions on drivers and not everything
under MSDOS is emulated but nevertheless, it is a fairly good approximation of an MSDOS 5 environment. The issue that tstock_sjc had was NTVDM.exe looks for %WINDIR%\system32\autoexec.nt and %WINDIR%\system32\config.nt instead of autoexec.bat
and config.sys. If you extract hide87.com out of winfloat.exe and place it into the %WINDIR%\system32 directory and add a line like %SystemRoot%\system32\hide87.com to the end of autoexec.nt , NTVDM will indeed load this TSR before launching its emulated
copy of of Windows 3.1 (wowexec.exe). When the 16 bit application is finally launched after wowexec.exe, the coprocessor is then masked. It worked fine for me anyway (after applying changes and rebooting). Under process monitor I could clearly
see NTVDM.exe reading autoexec.nt and hide87.com and the WIN87EM.dll GP fault went away.

Savepanelstate general protection fault

I'm once in a while receiving a "General Protection Fault" when using SavePanelState in CVI 2010 running Windows XP.
This a program that runs 24/7, and that function call is probably executed 20k times a day, and runs on number of benches with the same configuration and no problems.
It sounds similiar to the problem that was found a while back for 64 bit applications, the CVI Runtime engine is 10.0.1.419.
Any updates that would correct this available? Any other ideas?
Terry

Hi Terry,
There was a bug in 64-bit for SavePanelState, but it was related to the creation of the save file. It could only occur for 64-bit applications and SavePanelState would always fail. So I don't think that is related to your issue.
Am I correct that this issue only occurs on 1 system? How often does it occur?
Are you able to reproduce this with the debugger attached? Is there an address attached to the fault?
Could you generate a crash dump and send it to us?

Is there a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying?

Does anybody know a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying? All this within the OS possibilities? Is there a way?
know one can buy expensive programmes like from Adobe, but I use it so little that I would like a cheaper solution. Freeware would be great, shareware also.
Any suggestion grateful received.

No way to do that using the OS (although the entire pdf can be encrypted, once the password is applied the document is open for copying/printing).
However, the freeware PDFLab does allow password protection, the 'owner' pw allows full access, the 'user' pw can be restricted for printing, copying, etc:

This can also be done with Adobe's Create PDF Online, but the above is free, and works well.
Hope this helps...

Performance issues -- related to printing

Hi All,
I am haviing production system performance issues related to printing. endusers are telling the printing is slow for almost printers. We are having more that 40 to 50 printers in landscape.
As per my primary investigation I didnt find any issues in TSP01 & TSP02 tables. But I can see the table TST01 and TST03 table having many number of entries (more that lakh). I dont have idead about this table. Is ther eany thing related to this table where the print causes slowness or any other factors also makes this printing issue .. Please advice ..
thanks in advance

TemSe cannot administer objects that require more than two gigabytes of storage space, regardless of whether the objects are stored in the database or in the file system. Spool requests of a size greater than two gigabytes must therefore be split into several smaller requests.
It is enough if you perform the regular background jobs and Temse consistency checks for the tables.
This will help in controlling the capacity problems.
If you change the profile parameter rspo/store_location parameter value to 'G' this will make the performance better. The disadvantages are TemSe data must be backed up and restored separately from the database using operating system tools, In the event of problems, it can be difficult to restore consistency between the data held in files and the TemSeu2019s object management in the database. Also you have take care of the Hard disk requirements because in some cases, spool data may occupy several hundred megabytes of disk storage. If you use the G option, you must ensure that enough free disk space is available for spool data.

How to protect against a pdf printing without protecting the file with a password ?

I want to know if it's possible to protect a PDF against printing without protecting the file with a password ?
It's possible to make it with Acrobat Reader or another version ?
Thank You
Best regards.

Hi,
Yes, you can restrict editing and printing of the document; although you have setup a permission password (To restrict the users from changing the document permissions).
Please follow the steps mentioned below:-
Open the file in Adobe Acrobat- Document properties- Security- Change security method to password security- Select Restrict editing and printing of the document

Graph control causes general protection fault when changing axis range (64bit)

Hello,
i wrote a 32bit application which i'm porting to 64bit now and stumbled across a problem with the graph control.
The Graph axsis are set to editable so that the user can change the axis range manually at runtime. The 32bit version has no problem here, but the 64bit version is crashing with a general protection fault at the source line with RunUserInterface().
Is there a compiler option/value or something i should be aware of when swithing to 64bit that should be set?
Or is this just a problem with the code of the control?
I tried it with LabWindows v13.0.2 (278) and v13.0.1, running under Windows 7 64bit.
Thanks.

Hello, danouj!
Thank you for reporting this issue to us!
However, information you provided is still unsufficient for us to determine the background of this bug.
Please also provide the following details, so that we can identify the issue and investigate whether a workaround for this problem exists:
From my understanding, when porting the application to 64-bit, you also performed some code changes to your CVI application. What are these code changes?
If you run the 64-bit version of your application without these code changes, does the application also crash?
What is the address of this crash?
It would also be very useful, if you can send us a copy of a minimal snapshot of your project application, in which the problem still occurs, for us to investigate the issue.
You can upload the sources at ftp://ftp.natinst.com/incoming

Why can i only print 1 copy in print in CS5 even when I type more than 1?

Results are different when printing from CS5 and CS4

A file that printed fine with Photoshop CS 4 printed very dark when printed with CS5, with no changes made to the settings. Has anyone else had this problem?

RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

Adobe form Error "Memory protection fault in OLE container control"

Hi,
I am getting the error "Memory protection fault in OLE container control" while trying to open the layout tab of adobe forms.
I am getting this error for all the adobe forms.Please let me know the solution.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Nuthan.

I can reproduce this error consistently.. This is how: Install Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
As soon as I remove SQL 2008 the error went away. Adobe LiveCycle Designer was invoked via OLE2 interface. Apparently SQL Server 2008 (as in my case or some other applications in your case) modified the way OLE2 behaves and therefore causes this error.

10.6.7 won't print from CS5

I went through hours of troubleshooting and was finally able to print a jpeg from CS5 by going to File/Print in CS5, select Print Settings in the middle column. That opens the Apple print dialogue box and I select Color/Quality Options and change the RGB Color to Device. After that, I was able to print fine even after changing it back to the original settings.
I hope helps someone else...

I spent hours troubleshooting with Adobe and Apple with this very issue. And I think I found a resolution doing my own troubleshooting...
From CS5 go to File/Print and the Adobe print dialogue box opens. In the middle is a field to select Print Settings, under Copies. Select Print Settings which will open the Apple print dialogue box. Hold down the Layout field and a list opens. Select Color/Quality Options and change RGB Color to Device.
Doing this seems to reset something because I was finally able to print! And returning to the original settings seems to work again too. So, it's almost like resetting the print function from Photoshop. Although I hate to say it, seems the issue was with OS 10.6.7
I hope this is helpful to someone else.

General protection fault with alt-tabbing and pop ups

Hi,
This is probably a case of me doing something I shouldn't, but I figured out a while ago that I could get resizable modal pop ups by doing something like this:
SetPanelAttribute(panelHandle2, ATTR_SIZABLE, 0);
InstallPopup(panelHandle2);
SetPanelAttribute(panelHandle2, ATTR_SIZABLE, 1);
This is almost certainly a hack, but it seems to work and I get modal pop ups that the user can resize and maximize. However, the run-time engine does not seem to like this, and I am getting general protection faults when alt-tabbing between the main application window and the pop up (which both have taskbar buttons). The address where it crashes, at least on my computer, is 0x684F5E34 which is in cvirte.dll. This also seems to crash in the release configuation.
I've attached a small sample application. In order to see the problem, launch the application, open the Pop Up, and alt-tab a few times between the two windows. On my development PC this will generate a general protection fault after a few times (often the first time). I'm running CVI 2012SP1 on a Windows XP Pro PC.
Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.

Pop Up Test.zip ‏5 KB

What I don't understand is how you can switch between main and popup panel since the latter is displayed with InstallPopup: I never succeed in getting focus to the main panel when the popup is active, and it is not even listed among windows in alt-tab procedure. If I select the main window in taskbar, the popup immediately comes up and gets the focus.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

General protection fault windows 3.1

I am using a real time devices pc104 computer stack running windows 3.1, trying to install labwindows 5.1. program installs, but when I try to run I get
"CVI caused a general protection fault in module cvi.exe at 0001:07A4." Any one have an idea why? I have this program installed on an identical computer stack with no problems. I have also tried a third stack with the same result as the first.

Hi scottharris,
It seems as if this is a known issue of Windows 3.x. I've looked through our records, and it doesn't seem as if this particular behavior has been reported when opening CVI. So, unfortunately, I cannot give you a direct solution to this issue. You may want to take a look at some of the many online troubleshooting guides for General Protection Faults, like this one.

Protection Fault Blue Screen

Hey,
I have a K7T Turbo2 with a 750 Duron. I have had the motherboard for about 4 months now and had no problems. But recently my computer froze so I had to shut it down because nothing would work. I left it alone for a day and tried to start it up the next day and after the Windows ME screen popped up I got the Blue Screen of Death saying "Protection Fault while trying to initialize Device CONFIGMG you must restart your computer." I figured it was either a bad boot file or a virus so I did both and scan disk and a virus scan but neither solved the problem. I tried updating my BIOS and that also did no good. The funny thing is that when I try to start it in safe mode instead of Device CONFIGMG it says Device ISO. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Eric

have you tried different memory or power supply? basically, swap out as many components as you can, but i would start with those 2. you should be able to get memchecker or something like that which runs in dos to check for bad memory.
