Strange problems with Windows 7 running on Bootcamp

Hi there. I have just installed Windows 7 using Bootcamp on my Macbook with Leopard. I have a few strange problems and just wanted to see if I could gain any help or see if anyone else is experiencing these problems. Apart from those, its running great :P
Main one is when I close the macbook shut, then open it back up the screen stays black, i can hear it open back up but its like it just stays in Sleep mode. I then need to hold down the power button and switch it back on.
Secondly when I use the down, up left or right arrow button to scroll down in the respective direction the cursor is moving around like it would on a word document. It will scroll down eventually but only becuase the cursor has reached the end of the page.
Thanks for your time and I really hope someone can shed some light.

Hey, I'm having this issue too, however I also get freezes while the screen is still on, or while the screen power saves, and will not resume.
The computer stays on, and warm, meaning it never powers off, nor realizes its hung-up, and the only way to get back to work is a hard shutdown and reboot.
Details are below, and x64 Win 7 MSDNAA RTM Build 7600 - 4gb of Corsair 4-4-4-12 2x2 ram.
I have already gotten the newest commercial nVidea drivers and I am running RivaTuner with appropriate settings, and I have disabled the Wired NIC, and turned off the wireless NIC power-saving settings.

Strange Problem with windows form in SBO

Hi all
I encountered a strange problem
I have a standard .net windows form that I am activating from a menu in SBO
In the test Env. in our office the form always shows on top, whoever in the customer site first time you activate the menu the form appears correctly on top but when you close the form and press the menu again the form will appear "behind" the SBO.
The form will appear on top only the first time you use it.
The form is set to TopMost true
I also tried using the user32.dll functions of SetFocus and SetForgroundWindow
(I put them in the Activated event of the form)
But it made no difference first time form on top - the rest the from is behind
The form is run on a separate thread and as I said works perfectly in the test Env.
I am using .net 2005 with SBO 2005
Any Ideas ?
Thanks
Ronny

Has anybody had the following error while trying to download iTunes 10.5? There is a problem with Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.

Go to "control panel" then "add or remove programs". Highlight "Apple software update" Choose "change" click "Repair" This should do the trick. Then download and install iTunes 10.5 again.

Firstly, are you installing iTunes for the first time or are you updating your current version of iTunes?
If you're installing iTunes for the first time have you tried redownloading the installer package? Perhaps the file you downloaded originally is corrupted...
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you've tried that, then try installing iTunes as your computer's administrator. To do this right-click the install package and choose "Run as administrator".
If you're updating iTunes to the most recent version try repairing the Apple Software Update program on your computer. It's under the add/remove programs.
1. Open the control panel
2. Open Add/Remove programs (called "Programs and Features" in Windows 7)
3. Navigate to "Apple Software Update" in the list and click on it
4. Click on "Change" then select "Repair" (or just select the repair option in Windows 7)
Once you repair this, try running iTunes and the update again.
Fingers crossed!

Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Strange problem with Adobe Acrobat X (crash without a trace)

Hi,
I have a strange problem with Adobe Acrobat. It happens totally randomly, it leaves no signs in system logs.
What is happening: during my work Adobe Acrobat sudennly crashes. After a crash I cannot run it again - system seems to do something for a second, but then nothing happends. When i look into taks manager - there are no processes of Acrobat.exe. It just doesn't want to run. What I need to do is to reinstall whole Adobe Acrobat - which requires restart.
I've already tried to restart system after crash, it doesn't help - reinstall is required.
Sometimes everyting is fine for a 3 months, sometimes crash happens a week after the previous one. It also happens in very different situations (somtimes while opening a file, sometimes when doing something simple, sometimes in more complex tasks).
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
Acrobat version: 10.1.1

Strange problem with SQL query in toad.

Guys,
My colleague is up with a strange problem with an SQL query that if it is run in toad encounters the "ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel" problem,but if run in SQL plus executes just fine.
Do anyone have thoughts about this strange error in toad?
Thanks!!!!
Regards,
Bhagat

Not sure what version of TOAD you have but it may have shipped with SQLMonitor which montiors SQL sent from Windows apps . Navigation should be similar to;
Start~Programs~Quest Software~TOAD for Oracle~Tools~SQLMonitor
or
C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\SQLMonitor.exe
To use it, start TOAD and connect, start SQLMonitor and click the checkbox for TOAD.exe, then execute the query. SQLMonitor will show you the actual query that TOAD sent to the client. It may be exactly what you sent or it may contain some extras.

Strange Problem with Mail & Address Book

Hi,
I'm having a strange problem with Mail & Address Book.
When I go to compose a new message from Mail and hit the Address button (to show my email addresses), it won't launch the contacts window!
I get this log from console;
2007-10-15 22:55:59.079 Mail[410] * -[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index (0) beyond bounds (0)
If I try to launch the Address Book from my Applications folder, it won't open, and it gives me this log from console;
2007-10-15 22:57:57.348 Address Book[417] * -[NSKeyedUnarchiver initForReadingWithData:]: data is NULL
Oct 15 22:57:57 PB-G4 /Applications/Address Book.app/Contents/MacOS/Address Book: CGImageSourceCreateWithData data parameter is nil\n

2007-10-15 22:57:57.350 Address Book[417] Exception raised during posting of notification. Ignored. exception: * -[NSCFArray addObject:]: attempt to insert nil
If I quit Address Book, i'll get this from console;
2007-10-15 22:58:37.892 Address Book[417] -[ABAddressBook setDefaultCountryCode:] called with a unknown country code 'us'
I tried deleting the preferences, re-installing Address Book, also tried creating a new user, again no luck!
Can somebody help!!!
Please?!

Hi dp13.
Do you have any Address Book plug-ins or system utilities that could interfere with Address Book? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/Address\ Book\ Plug-Ins ~/Library/Address\ Book\ Plug-Ins
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.
<hr>
Did you also reinstall the appropriate Combo Update after reinstalling Address Book?
Quit all the applications and verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update for PowerPC
Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update for Intel
After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk and back up before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

Just to elaborate further; if the Windows OS has been previously installed, go to the bootcamp assistant in OSX (found in applications/utilities). There you will have the option to burn a disk or download the needed drivers to a USB flash drive. After getting the necessary files downloaded/burned proceed and start your Windows partition, run the installer from the disc. This should solve the problem.

Strange problem with jpcap library.

Hello everone;)
I have a very strange problem with jpcap. I have ubuntu 8.10, libpcap installed by apt (manually upgraded to 0,9,8) and jpcap 0.7 (installed from deb package).
My code is:
* To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
* and open the template in the editor.
package agh;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import jpcap.*;
import jpcap.packet.Packet;

public class Main
     * @param args the command line arguments
    public static void main(String[] args)
        try
            Tcpdump interfejsy = new Tcpdump();
        catch (Exception ex)
            Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
//        agh_MainFrame ramka = new agh_MainFrame();
//        ramka.setVisible(true);
    // TODO code application logic here
class Tcpdump implements PacketReceiver
    public void receivePacket(Packet packet)
        System.out.println(packet);
    public Tcpdump() throws Exception
        System.out.println("wszedlem do wykazu interfejsow");
        NetworkInterface[] devices = JpcapCaptor.getDeviceList();
        if (devices.length ==0)
           System.out.println("no devices");
        for (int i = 0; i < devices.length; i++)
            System.out.println(i + " :" + devices.name + "(" + devices[i].description + ")");
System.out.println(" data link:" + devices[i].datalink_name + "(" + devices[i].datalink_description + ")");
System.out.print(" MAC address:");
for (byte b : devices[i].mac_address)
System.out.print(Integer.toHexString(b & 0xff) + ":");
System.out.println();
for (NetworkInterfaceAddress a : devices[i].addresses)
System.out.println(" address:" + a.address + " " + a.subnet + " " + a.broadcast);
When i start this simple code it isn't working correctly. On the output i have only "no devices". JpcapCaptor doesn't see any mine network interfaces. On windows this code works correctly.
Anyone has any idea what is wrong?
Thanks,
iiceberg

Hi, guys,
I also have a similar problem but in Windows. I've been using a W2008 Server for a short time. For what I've seen and have been told, it works like a Vista. I've wrote a program which uses jpcap and winpcap and, first of all, gets the device list.
Well, if I boot my computer and log on with my usual account, which in theory is an administrator, gets 0 devices when I run the program.
Then, if I log on with the actual Administrator account i works perfectly.
And, if after logging and running the program with the Administrator account (NOT just logging on) I log on with my usual account, it works too.
It's like the Adm account has some kind of "top" permission that doesn't go away at logoff. I tried that because I had some other problems accessing the DVD-ROM for writing from my usual account.
I think that I doesn't happen in WXP, but I haven't tested that last problem, yet.
Any ideas??
Thank you.

Strange problem with virtual machines backup (Hyper-V 2012R2)

Hi
I have a strange problem with backup of virtual machines in one of my Hyper-V environments. Let me describe how does it looks like: There are two physical servers - HP DL360 G8. They are used as hosts for four virtual machines - domain controllers in two domains.
Each of them runs one DC in every domain. I've configured backup "inside" every virtual machine (with Windows Server Backup tool), in its operating system, because domain controllers should have their system state, regularly backuped, etc. Backup
is made on the network share - all machines to the same server as destination. And now the case - two virtual server are backuped as expected - the operation takes 3 - 4 minutes and is always succeded. But in case of two remaining it looks as below:
- Backup operation starts (is scheduled).
- Volume shadow copy is made.
- The first partition of VM starts to be copied. It's Windows 2012 R2 Generation2 VM, so it has EFI, Recovery and C: partition. EFI is as first and at this moment backup stucks for a 2-3 hours! Progress of copying is 0%. After for example 3 hours this partition
is completed and starts the next (disk C:). And again - it freezes for a few hours and suddenly is pushed. As a result the backup is made successfully, but it takes for example 10 hours.
Both "dodgy" VMs are on separated hosts. All four of them were installed in the same time. I tried to change destination to locally connected disk, but no result. It's interesting as well, that after rebooting VM, the first backup is made normally,
but every next has described problem again. In EventLog I can't find any errors, I don't know how to diagnose such case precisely, etc. Have you got idea what can cause such behaviour or where on the server should I look for some hints?
Thanks
Marcin

Hi Marcin,
>>that after rebooting VM, the first backup is made normally, but every next has described problem again.
It shouldn't happen .
To narrow this issue down , Please try to backup an Gen1 VM and check the result .

Strange problems with afp since 10.7.3

Hi every one,
I have a strange problem with afp shared volumes:
-Between two lion systems: no problems
-Between one macbook air under lion and one mac mini with SL: the mac mini succeed in mounting the shared volumes of the mba but the reverse is not true. Notice that it failed with the finder (CMD+K, afp://....) but I succeed with afp_mount command in terminal. I see no log that can help. Note also that the problem arise with 10.7.3: apple has misfixing something?
I already done the following: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4700
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks for all,

IMHO Apple has messed all types of sharing on Lion. Between Mac to Mac networks and to Windows networks.
Try unchecking File Sharing and then Re-checking it. I have to do this everytime I boot or reboot my MBP running Lion 10.7.2 and .3.

I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook.

I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook OS 10. When attempting to use a Browser, (either IE, or Chrome), under Windows Fusion, I cannot browse to ANY page except Gmail.com.
I checked all security settings, and found no problem. Neither browser will allow me to do ANYTHING other than go to Gmail.com!!!
I am not sure if I have some virus on my Windows side, because Google and Safari both work perfectly on my Apple side, just not when running Windows Fusion.
Is there some setting I am missing, or do you think I have malware/virus issues?? My Internet connection is DEFINITELY working fine - I can send, receive, open, and close all my email on Gmail only, and can navigate freely on Gmail, but cannot get to any other site even hyperlinked to Gmail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

If you've already tried my previous suggestions, it may be that something has tampered with the DNS settings in your Windows VM, which might bypass the settings your Mac uses. Assuming you're using Windows 8, these instructions explain how to check and change the DNS settings. There's also a link in those instructions listing a variety of suggested DNS settings. If you do try changing the settings, record what the settings currently are in case you want to return to them.

Flash player 11.0.1.152 installation problem with Windows Vista 64-Bit

Hello,
I just can't get Flash Player to install on my computer with Windows Vista 64-Bit - doesnt matter if I try with Firefox, Opera or IE (I usually use Firefox).
The download isn't a problem, but when I start the downloaded .exe, this file just disappears from my download folder and nothing happens - besides starting a process called install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih_3.exe, which does nothing. The usual installation popup never appears. After that I can't try starting the installation again, until disabling the process via task manager ("Only a single instance of this application may run"). Doesn't matter if I try the download and installation with or without "McAffe Security Plus" btw - same result.
I never had such a problem before - Flash Player 10.3 was and is no problem to install and use.
I have tried all the measures suggested in the troubleshooting section on the official site, including the advanced troubleshooting measures (uninstall old version, run as administrator, disabling software firewalls, disabling virus scanner etc.). Nothing helps.
I don't got those problems with my laptop running Windows 7 - just my desktop computer with Vista 64-Bit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problem with Windows 8.1 and Corseca Byte BT headset

I recently bought a Corseca Byte bluetooth headset.
The headset works fine with phones.
Initially when connected to the laptop running windows 8.1 it works well and continues to flawlessly for hours.
The problem is when the headset is connected to the laptop but there is no audio streaming (e.g paused a movie playback for attending some other job) and resume playback after 10-15 minutes the audio starts stuttering/ becomes choppy. If I switch off the headset
and restart it works fine unless it lays unused for some time.
Windows recognizes the device correctly. I've turned off power management for BT devices and tried to update the drivers without any positive result.
Initially I thought the headset was defective but since it works flawlessly with phones I think it is a problem with Windows 8.1.
How to solve the issue?

Hi,
Have you also tried to disable power management on wireless network connection adapter? Since some OEM computers also combine some features of Bluetooth to wireless network connection adapter.
This issue can be mostly caused by drivers. Please contact the menufacturer's to see if the latest driver is compatible with Windows 8.1.
If not, I suggest you find the driver for Windows 8 /7 and install it in compatible mode in Windows 8.1 to see what's going on.
Also, post back the C:\Windows\Inf\setupapi.dev.log and event log you can find in event viewer related to this issue here for our research.
