Tbird 31.4 on WinXP, cursor is VERY jumpy only in Tbird window

After the latest update, 31.4, whenever my cursor is within the Tbird main window, it gets very "jumpy" and jerky. Even if Tbird is open, none of my other windows exhibit this problem. And when viewing the tbird address book, that window is fine, but moving back to the tbird window, the mouse starts acting up again.
Thx.

The timeline and cursor move very jerky (in a continual chattery motion) in Windows 8.1

in my project the timeline and/or the cursor move very jerky (in a continual chattery motion ) in windows 8.1
i have set the Windows Software Compatibility setting for their "Window 7 emulator" and the condition still persists.
also the "fullscreen playback" for the project used to be very fine resolution and now it is very mushy...
all this tells me there are real problem with my Premier Element 10

You are running Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 8.1 64 bit. The program works just fine in Windows 8.1 64 bit when run Windows 8.1.
So do not go altering to another operating system. I know this first hand.
The immediate factor that needs ruling in or out is your video card/graphics card. Specifically "Does your Windows 8.1 64 bit use
a NVIDIA GeForce card? If so, that may be your answer. See Announcement at the top of this forum which describe the Premiere
Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce problem and gives the fix of how to roll back the card's driver version to get Premiere Elements 10
to work for you.
Once we are assured that you are not afflicted by Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce syndrome and also know that your current
video card/graphics card driver is up to date, then we can move on to seek other factors that may be causing the problem.
For your convenience, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement about the issue as it appears at the top of this forum.
All the links and how tos that you will need are in this announcement.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow glitches
specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then
the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The
typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA
nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

Why has my cursor become very laggy?

Hi,
For some reason my cursor has become very laggy since getting Delayed Write error messages causing my system to screw-up. I finally reinstalled a new Windows on drive D, my old (not working) Windows is in drive C. Now when I scroll pages on the net or in applications it is very slow to respond and is unstable.
This also complies with moving windows. When I move a window it also becomes very jumpy. My system was fine until I got those error messages ages ago. Is there a way I can fix this?
Thanks

My problems first started when 'Delayed Write Failed' messages just popped up out of the blue.
When this happened my system was completely unresponsive for 10 minutes, I could only move the cursor. I think after a while my system rebooted itself and a got the blue screen checking my disks for errors.
After waiting for that I logged back in to find that my cursor 'jumps' shortly after several seconds of moving it. What I mean is I can move it fine for like 2 seconds but then it pauses very shortly and quickly resumes, 'leaping' to what ever direction I was moving it in, so I lose where I was pointing it to.
A few login's later and the error message popped up again - totally uncalled for. I was only using a software to edit videos when it popped up again. Well, after this I ended up switching my laptop back on to find 'Windows\System32\Config\System is corrupt or removed press 'r' to begin repair on Recovery Console using your Windows CD'.
I get to the screen and press 'r'. I don't know what to type in to fix my installation of Windows (drive C) so I hit exit and chose 'new installation' instead. It asked me to save my new Windows onto drive C or D. Drive C has everything on it, my pics, music, docs and most importanly drivers and programs - mainly the Toshiba stuff I need. I'm afraid if I chose to install on drive C all the stuff mentioned above would be wiped clean. Thank goodness for drive D then, so D it was.
When Windows finally installed on Drive D, I discovered my cursor was the laggy one as before and now a new problem; scrolling pages; and moving windows. It's very slow to scroll and it's so unstable it takes me to the top or bottom of the page when I move the scroll bar in that direction. Moving windows is very jumpy and unstable too.
So there you go, that's my problem. Thanks for reading.
P.S If someone could tell me how to repair Windows on drive C, I would be most grateful.

How can I get the cursor to appear in the main search window on the Google home page by default?

The cursor in my Firefox appears in the address bar. I would like it to appear by default in the main search window on my default home page, Google.com. How?

This is all very Greek to me. Is it really this hard just to get the cursor to appear in the main search window when Google.com is one's default home page?
I don't really know much about Firefox extensions. My list includes Adblock Plus 1.3.8; Duplicate This Tab 1.2; Java Console 6.0.25; Java Quick Starter 1.0; Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 0.0.0; New Tab Homepage 0.4.3. Nothing unusual is indicated for either Java item, Console having been updated 4/27/2011.
What to do next?
Thank you.

Hello everyone, Very recently itunes on my windows computer does not let me access any items in my Library except for "Apps" and "Ringtones". When I click on any other items it flashes the redcircle meaning forbidden".
When I connect my iPhone or iPad I can see every items on them but not on the iTunes Library.
They sync fine with iTunes.
I browse all the menus in iTunes but cannot find any clues to what I have done for it to happen. It worked fine previously.
Thanks for any suggestion.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

I have iphone 5S after update of 8.0 and 8.0.2 t consume battery very much( only 3 hrs backup). Plz give some solution.Now i am going frustrated from Apple

I'm not sure, but I know it's not recommended to upgrade to iOS 8 on anything older than an iPhone 5. I only lost my music playlists and music that was on my phone, but that music is also on my iTunes, not the playlists though, and I don't want to go through ALL my iTunes library to fix it either... But it seems I don't have a choice right now.
Whatever you do, do NOT upgrade to iCloud Drive, keep iCloud till OS X Yosemite comes out, if your computer is a Mac. I also just noticed that all my documents on my phone are gone from Pages, BUT if I go on the iCloud website they are still there. Hopefully it will all work itself out when I can update my macbook pro to OS X Yosemite.
If you backed up your phone and all your purchases off your iPhone prior to trying to upgrade you should be fine... But I'm not even remotely sure.

Very slow to open new window

How to fix very slow opening window. I have vista 64. Since the last foxfire update it is very slow to open new windows. It can take some windows opening over a minute to open. (yes minutes not seconds)
Once a window is open I can open in new tab with no problem, but not with new window. (I like to have many windows open at a time)
When l click to open a new window either from a link or new window, it seems that nothing is happening. Then clicking to open another one which seems to open faster. Then all of a sudden the first window decides to open after about a minute or so. Sometime it seems to hang longer than other times.

I did try the safe mode and didn't work. I did make iexplorer my default and then back again to foxfire and it somewhat worked. It was work not bad (but not as good as before) until I rebooted and it seemed the more I used it the better it became. Go figure :)
Well I just did another firefox update to 4 and it works perfect and maybe even better than before. (or I got use to how slow it was :) )
Thank You for you quick reply and I'm very happy for the new update... So far so good.

Trying to export as a JPEG 2000 but very jumpy when I view it in quicktime. Is this just because the player doesn't support JPEG2000?

JPEG2000 for a digital projector? The option you see in Compressor, or the QT export is NOT the format they need. You can only make that with special software. I had that asked of me to deliver, I tried using Compressor and the JPEG2000 codec...and it wasn't right. Ended up sending it out of house.

Cursor hotspot very sensitive when PS running in background

I have noticed some odd behaviour when I've got PhotoShop running and an image that I am working on opened. When I switch to any other app, even the desktop, my cursor hotspot becomes very sensitive. I.e. when I try to drag the bottom corner of a window to make it bigger, its very difficult to find the corner the cursor keeps flickering between the 2 states. Before you ask I'm on a Mac loads of memory, latest OS and latest version of PS etc etc.

I am using OS 10.10.2
Photoshop CC 2014 2.2
no I do not minimise photoshop just work on other applications over the top.
Ah I have just tried minimising and that seems to solve the problem - looks like i'll have to change my working method.
Application frame turned on
thanks

Cursor is trapped in white rectangle (in windows) when trying to exit certain programs

I recently installed windows 8.1 using bootcamp 5 onto my 2011 macbook pro that's running on mavericks. I really only wanted it so I would be able to play some old pc games through steam. The install seemed to go pretty smooth but I ran into a huge problem when I actually opened a game.
I'm not sure if it's a problem with windows or steam, but every time I go to play a game it works just fine until i go to save and close it out, then a big white rectangle appears and seems to trap my cursor so that I cant do anything at all. After some fooling around I was able to get the game to close, but the white rectangle was still there on the desktop screen and wouldn't allow my cursor to go anywhere. I tried swapping to the space with the live tiles, and the white rectangle didn't appear there, but mouse was still acting like it was. I had to restart my laptop for this problem to finally go away.
does anyone know what might be the cause or suggestions on how to fix this?? thanks!

The issue mysteriously resolved itself. I shut down the computer, and the next day I booted back up and tried to open the same file, and everything was OK. Very bizarre, since I had opened it previously on this same MacBook. Anyway, anyone have any insight into what happened?

My keyboard occasionally goes crazy, not allowing me to type. Also, cursor goes crazy and opens pages and windows at will. Help!

My typing cursor frequently goes crazy, not allowing me to type and jumping from place to place, deleting letters. Suddenly, a line I have typed will be highlighted and deleted at will. Also, mouse cursor moves at will, opening multiple pages in seconds. Help! What could be causing this, and how can I stop it?
I've had my Macbook pro for over a year and it has never done this before. Restarting the computer fixes the problem temporarily.

My first thought was the hard drive and OS has a built in Sudden Motion Sensor whcih will stop the hard drive heads from crashing into the platters when the computer is moved suddenly. This does work most of the time and could cause some of the tings you are seeing.
But then after reading more of your first post it seems your system and drive is doing some very strange things.
It would be best to first take it into an Apple Genius Bar and have it looked at. They can run tests on it and since it is still in the original 1 year warranty this should not cost you anything even if something needs to be replaced.
You can also run the Apple Hardware Test on it your self by connecting it to the Net by Ethernet cable and booting holding down the d key or the Command+d keys. That will boot the computer from the Apple internet servers and load the AHT.
Good Luck.

Magic Trackpad = Freezing and Very Jumpy Motion. Un-useable.

Has anybody else been having this problem?
I can use it for maybe a minute and then it's impossible to control. I'll move my finger just a bit and the cursor jumps waaaaaaaaay far ahead. And I've tried many different settings.
It's basically an $85 coaster right now.

I had the same issues
Was very disappointed
Called up Apple store to complain and return it
They tested it out at the Apple store
They were unable to get it to work properly
They gave me a new replacement
The second one worked fine, like it should
The thing that upset me about Apple
They said this is the first time they heard about this issue
As the other poster mentioned there are plenty of complaints about this issue
I suggest to everyone that has a similar issue to return it for a new replacement

HOW TO: Your very own Adobe Update Server (Windows)

Well, I thought I'd contribute something after wasting time sifting through info on how to get this done. It's not a hard process at all, once the steps get organized correctly.
If you are reading this post, you most likely have already seen:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/update-server-setup-tool.html
Maybe you’ve seen the dry (read: hard to stay awake and boring) video Adobe has posted as well and yet here we are… I found the materials Adobe provided informative yet riddled with inconsistencies and scatter brained writing. This guide will get you to a working install with minimal pain and effort. I’m sure plenty of you have Mac’s that you’d like to get running as an update server. Good luck, we’re a pc shop and that’s what this guide is going to be on. You can still update Mac’s with a windows based server. Mac users that want to setup an update server on a Mac will have to try and endure that video.
I like complaining about things, so if you want the relevant info, I bolded it. If you need to change the command to fit your system, I highlighted the relevant section in red. You’re welcome.
Requirements:
Windows Operating System 64-bit (just so the file structure makes sense, if you are running 32-bit, that’s fine, but you’ll need to make the necessary changes to my write-up.)
The requirements for CPU, Memory, and hard-drive free space are minimal (My freshly sync’d update directory is only 30.2GB). I’m going to lean on the safe side and say leave a few hundred gigs free on the hard-drive. All you are doing is making a file store that can be accessed via http from your clients. Any modern day computer can be your host. Have hundreds of client computer that will be downloading from your update server? That’s up to you on how you will want to handle it. Do DNS load balancing across multiple update servers, deploy different override files to different groups of clients that point those groups of clients to different servers, or use sas drives and team multiple gigabit Ethernet ports. I’m sure you’ll figure something out to handle your particular situation. I am just going to focus on a simple step-by-step to get you on your way.
Step 1: Install Creative Cloud Packager
This was the first thing that wasn’t clear to me. I’m new to Creative Cloud for Teams. I have 20 computers and knew that updating would be an issue with our internet connection. I intuitively searched for a way to set up an update server and came across the article linked earlier. “Note: AUSST is available in the utilities folder of Adobe® Creative Cloud™ Packager installation.“ Oh, that’s nice. No link. No help on where to get it…
You can grab the download from your “Manage Your Team” control panel. It’s on the right side under “IT Deployment”. Download it, install it. This how-to isn’t about packages and how awesome they are for deployment or how to use them. So close the packager when you are done installing and move on to step 2.
Step 2: Create a root directory to store all of your updates.
I think it’s safe to assume that the root directory will only grow in size over time, so put it somewhere with a few hundred gigs of free space. The cloud is still young but I expect that amount to last you a while. To keep this easy, I created my directory as such: G:/CreativeCloudUpdate
Step 3: Run the AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool for the initial sync
Open up command prompt as an administrator and type the following:
cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities\AUSST"
AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool --root="G:/CreativeCloudUpdate" --fresh
When it is done updating, leave the command prompt up, you’ll need it again.
Step 4: Create the client config file
For whatever reason, the AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool can’t create a config folder. So you’ll have to make it yourself if you want this to work.
Go to G:/CreativeCloudUpdate and create a folder called config
Head back over to the command prompt and type the following:
AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool --genclientconf="G:/CreativeCloudUpdate/config/AdobeUpdaterClient" --root="G:/CreativeCloudUpdate/" --url=http://192.168.1.4/
If this worked, you should get something like the following:
“Generate Client Configuration XML chosen.
Files generated at specified path.”
Double check to make sure the files are generated inside the G:/CreativeCloudUpdate/config directory.
Step 5: Setup the Web Server
We’ll use Apache 2.2 for this setup. Yes, I am aware 2.4 is out, and 64-bit is available and that there are different web servers and and and. If you want to set something else up, go for it, be my guest, but you won’t find compile or update directions here. Also, if you want to use IIS, again, go for it. I didn’t find anything wrong with the directions in the very first link in this post. Remember, this guide is simplicity focused. I expect you to know how to keep your own network up to date.
ALLOW PORT 80 THROUGH WINDOWS FIREWALL OR ANY OTHER FIREWALL SOFTWARE YOU ARE RUNNING ON THE SERVER!
Download and install the following:
http://mirror.metrocast.net/apache//httpd/binaries/win32/httpd-2.2.25-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi
You can keep all of the defaults during install.
Once installed, you’ll have a little feather and play button in your system tray. Double click on that to bring up the server monitor. STOP the process.
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf
Open up httpd in a text editor like notepad, you’ve got a little editing to do. Do a search and replace. You’ll want to find EVERY OCCURANCE of the following sentence:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs
And replace it with the following sentence:
G:/CreativeCloudUpdate
Save the file. Go back to the Apache server monitor and start the process.
Step 6: Setup the Clients
The file is located here: G:\CreativeCloudUpdate\config\AdobeUpdaterClient\win
And here: http://192.168.1.4/config/AdobeUpdaterClient/win
It is called: AdobeUpdater.OVERRIDES
And it needs to end up here on the client computers:
In Windows XP:
\Documents and Settings\All Users\ApplicationData\Adobe\AAMUpdater\1.0\AdobeUpdater.Overrides
In Windows 7/Vista:
\ProgramData\Adobe\AAMUpdater\1.0\AdobeUpdater.Overrides
In Mac OS X:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater/1.0/AdobeUpdater.Overrides
It is your choice concerning how to get the overrides file onto the client computer. THE BEST WAY is to include it in the package you deploy from the Creative Cloud Packager(not covered in this guide). If you already have Creative Cloud installed and want to start updating via the server you just setup: You could use group policy to deploy the file. If you only have a handful of computers, you could put it on by hand. You could script it. You could email it to all your users and tell them to place the file. Pick whatever you feel will work best for you in your environment.
IF you are just deploying the Creative Cloud in your environment and were smart enough to think ahead and setup the update server FIRST. Look up (If you have to, it’s really intuitive) how to use the package manager and make sure to change the package configuration to use this overrides file.
Step 7: Check for and download updated files to your update server
To manually do this, open up command prompt as an administrator and type the following:
cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities\AUSST"
AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool --root="G:/CreativeCloudUpdate" --incremental
To do this automatically you need to make a scheduled task to run the command above. The only issue I have run into is the task does not seem to run unless you are logged into the server. If no-one is logged in, the task triggers, but an update never happens.
All in all, I am happy that there was a way to do this. I AM NOT HAPPY that Adobe made it an after thought. A system service would have been a very elegant solution or you know, a simple custom server app that does everything in this guide for you AND makes it easy to run the incremental updater on a schedule. But noooooo, they couldn’t be bothered to do that, I mean really, who wants their own update server anyways…

Hi,
in relation to on to the above could you please share some thoughts on using AUSST in an enterprise environment spread over 50 countries i relation how to setup the AUSST, taking WAN Lines into considerations. We are using SCCM for application deployment and patching. Is there a comparising model for AUSST vs. SCCM?
i Get the picture using AUSST in a company with one huge Building using the LAN capacity, but what technologies are used to replicate over WAN etc?

Open cursors are NOT closed only by closing the ResultSet or Statement

I've realised that the open cursors are only closed by closing the connection.
In my example code I have for-loop with a vector of table-names. For every table-name I start a query to retrieve metainformation (row-size, column-names). Although I close the ResultSet (which automatically closes the PreparedStatement/Statement) I reached after the 150th loop a max-cursor-exception (ora-01000) ?!
It seems that there is only the workaround to close and re-open the connection at the end of the for-loop. Which is performance-side pretty bad :-(.
Is there really no other solution?
Besides: does anyone know WHY the statement.close() also closes the ResultSet?? I think this is a bad design (hence to tight dependency between both classes). What if the garbage collector closes the statement (and hence to the JDOC the statement.close()-method also closes the ResultSet)? For example if a method uses a local Statement and returns a ResultSet (and the Statement-garbage is collected), then the ResultSet would cause an exception?!
Thanks for the help in advance

Just explicitly close the PreparedStatement/Statement!
Besides: does anyone know WHY the statement.close()
also closes the ResultSet?? You need to think of a resultset as a live connection to the database.
Consider SELECT * FROM ABIGTABLE, it would be inefficient to populate the Resultset with all of the rows (could even eat up all memory) so the first n rows are returned ( n = Statement.getFetchSize() ) and the next n rows are returned as needed.
I think this is a bad
design (hence to tight dependency between both
classes). What if the garbage collector closes the
statement (and hence to the JDOC the
statement.close()-method also closes the ResultSet)?
For example if a method uses a local Statement and
returns a ResultSet (and the Statement-garbage is

exception?!You should use a statment and resultset, read all your data into a collection or a CachedRowSet (http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-02-2001/jw-0202-cachedrow.html) then close the statment as soon as possible. Never return a resultset form your data tier: that is tight coupling between the tiers of your application!

Serial Port communication very slow in RDP on windows server 2012

Hellò, we have installed a new server 2012 and connected some thinclients via RDP, since that moment all peripherals connected to the imported com ports of the thinclients are running very slow, for example the cash register issue any receipt only after
15-20 seconds!!. We have try to connect via RDP also a personal computer with many other OS like windows 8, windows 7, or XP but the result is the same: 15-20 seconds for a receipt!! We solve the problem only changing the server 2012 with a old server
2008 or 2003!. How is possible window server 2012 is so slow on RDP imported com ports??. There is something to set for speed up the com ports on rdp? For us this is a great problem, all of our customers are using cash register via RDP and they can't wait
all this time for a receipt. For your information we have tried to connect the cash register to the same com port of the same thinclient to the same server 2012 without RDP and the issue of the receipt is fast, so the problem is something on RDC of the new
OS windows Server 2012. Also note this is a bi-directional communication because the cash register use a bi-directional communication for printing each one of the voice on the receipt, this problem wll not affect other printers unidirectional where the
print process starting in less one second. Please help us to solve this problem, otherwise we will not more install windows server 2012.

Hi,
Thanks for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
When the slow performance issue occurs on server 2012, check the Windows Logs – Application category of the Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) on both the client and server sides. If there is any logs recorded, please let us know them. Please also check the
driver is properly installed on server and check the compability guide with the cash register machine, whether it support server 2012 with remote session. If there is particular requirement then you need to solve them first.
In addition, would like you to try connecting with RDP 8.1 and check whether it faces same issue.
Remote Desktop Protocol 8.1 Update for Windows 7 SP1 released to web
Hope it helps!
Thanks,
