Theme Studio 5 & Windows 7 64-bit

I've been using Theme Studio v5 on my laptop, which has Windows 7 64-bit and I've been having an issue with getting themes to save correctly.
For example... the theme I am working on has to have pink meters (battery, signal etc). I have colored the icons, loaded them into Theme Builder and saved them to my PC. The next time I go to work on this theme, the preview in Theme Builder shows everything as I left it, with pink meters. But then when I test it on the simulator or my device, they're reset back to white. I load them into Theme Builder again, test and it works fine. Save the theme, close Theme Builder and the next time the theme is opened, they're back to white (on sim and on my device, but not the theme builder preview).
As far as I know or have seen, I only have this problem with the meters and with the "line color" on messages (the background for every other message). Only the meters will save, they just reset as soon as Theme Builder is closed and the "line color" won't save or display at all (does in preview, but not sim or device).
I'm also having similar issues with Composer saving correctly.
This is a major problem for me as I've already published several themes and am in the process of developing several premium themes also. So I can't have items being reset without my knowledge.
Does anyone know what is causing this problem and how I can resolve it?
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!

Video requirements for CS5 are:
1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with qualified hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics card, 16-bit color, and 256MB of VRAM
Some GPU-accelerated features require graphics support for Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL 2.0
The Quadro supports OpenGL 4.3 and has more than enough RAM. My guess is it would be compatible. I have a Mac Mini with Intel integrated graphics and 768Mb VRAM, and CS5 as well as CS6 (extended - BOTH) run just fine.

DTS 2000 Short date error in Windows 7 (64 bit)

When using the DTS 2000 Package Designer in 2008 SQL Server Management Studio in Windows 7 (64 bit),
and when trying to use the Build Query functionality, I get the following error message:
An unexpected error occurred.
[MS Visual Database Tools] - Short date
I don't get this error on my machine running Windows XP. The regional settings on both machines are the same.

Hi Everyone,
I know this is a very old thread. But it came up as the first hit in Google when I searched the error message.
I still have the requirement to update an old DTS package that has been migrated to SQL Server 2008 R2 and couldn't find a solution anywhere.
I didn't want to experiment with client tools on my Database Server so here is what I did on my Windows 7 64 bit machine.
I installed Microsoft Windows Virtual PC and then installed Windows XP Mode as a virtual machine.
Then I installed the following stuff in the virtual XP machine.
SQL Management Studio 2008 tools. Of course I needed to install the SQL 2005 backward compatibility stuff as described elsewhere and quite a few other prerequisites that the management studio installer nicely pointed out to me. (You
will probably also need SQL 2000 Client Tools and SQL 2000 SP4)
Once that was all in place I no longer received the "Short Date" error message and I could update my old DTS packages.
I can even run Server Management Studio as a XP Mode Application directly in Windows 7 and it looks just like any other native application.
I have told my boss years ago that this DTS stuff is all hanging on by a thread. I'll also tell him the thread just got a bit thinner :)
Hope this helps someone else stuck in this position.

SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio in Windows Vista 64bit?

Can I install the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio on Windows Vista 64 bit ?

Hi MixMoraes
If you use the trial version only NetWeaver Developer Studio works, the application server don't, because its only 32 bits.

No DHCP after fresh install Windows 7 64 bit

OK so we are upgrading out computer to windows 7. A particular model has gave me some really wierd issues. it is a lenovo 7844B4U. After a fresh install off the cd of windows 7 64 bit dhcp does not work and if we leave the cable plugged in it overloads
the network. It has the right drivers and nothing seems to work, only a static ip works. Now we have the 32 bit image of Win 7 that came with the box. if we install that then DHCP work just fine and it work. It only happens to this particulr model. I have
tested on 3 different boxes.

I'm a bit confused: you put a hard drive with an -identical- 64-bit install of Windows 7 from a non-working machine into another non-working machine and it begins to work correctly? Or is it a different 64-bit build of Windows 7? Or is it something else
altogether? It seems odd that an identical build on identical hardware would work on one machine but not both - something has to be different, I think.
If you have DHCP set up with registered MAC addresses, and if these machines originally all had static addresses, are you sure their MACs are registered correctly? And, if they have multiple NICs, are all of the NICs MAC adresses registered? If only one
of multiple is registered, are you connecting to that one?
Is DHCP newly implemented, or has it been around for a while? If it has been around, then was there a reason those XP builds had their IP addresses set statically?
Ok let me try to explain it a little better. I have 3 computer all the same models 7844B4U. I have 3 hard drives that work in the same model. Hard drive 1 has XP installed and had a static IP set. Hard drive 2 has our custom 64bit image of windows 7. and Hard
drive 3 has a same image that came with the computer when we got them which is Windows 7 32 bit. the xp image had a static ip and was done before my time here so I have no idea why they gave it an ip or what. Now computer 1 and computer 2 will not pick up
dhcp. Those 2 had static ips set in the computer. Computer 3 will pick up dhcp. No matter which of the 3 hard drives I put in computer 1 and 2 dhcp will not work. Now if i put all 3 hard drive in computer 3 they all pick up dhcp. And computer 3 never had a
static ip set before.

DirectMusic in Visual Studio 2010 on a 64 bit Windows 7

I Have a Visual Studio 2010 VB programme using DirectX 11 DirectMusic, for playing MIDI audio files which I created on a Windows XP 32 bit machine, I have now moved it to a Windows 7 64 bit machine. The programme does run OK but the problem I have
though is it takes at least 2 minutes to load. It loads straight away on the XP 32 bit machine. In debug stepping through it is the get port information of the output port that is delaying it, code below
Do
dwPortCount = dwPortCount + 1
COutPort.GetPortInfo(dwPortCount, PortInfo)
Loop While 0 = (PortInfo.dwFlags And DMUS_PC.SOFTWARESYNTH)
'Debug.WriteLine("Selected output port: {0}", PortInfo.szPortDescription)
COutPort.SetPortParams(0, 0, 0, [SET].REVERB Or [SET].CHORUS, 44100)
COutPort.ActivatePort(PortInfo)
It goes through this loop three times and each time it stops at the line "COutPort.GetPortInfo(dwPortCount, PortInfo)" for quite a while, or the third time after a wait it does continue and loads the form.
Any Ideas how to sort this problem?

I have just purchased my first MacBook Pro and it is pretty fantastic. I own the disks for Microsoft Windows 7 ultimate, and Office 2010 Professional Plus, and need to run them in this Mac. 32 bit discs. Can this happen in boot camp?

I am trying to run Windows and Mac OS on my brand new MacBook Pro. I need to be able to boot to either one. I don't need a lot of hard drive space for the Windows OS. However, the software discs I own for Windows are 32 bit install. Is there a way to run this with what I have? I have the new MacBook 13 in. with retina display. 2.6Ghz i5 with 8GB RAM and 512 GB PCIe Hard drive.

Hi guys! I have a new Macbook Pro purchased from Best Buy yesterday. I had the Geek Squad upgrade the RAM to 8 gigs (They only had PNY brand, I was concerned but went with it anyway). I had them install Boot Camp Windows 7 Ultimate. Today I picked it up and when I started playing with it I learned that they installed the 32 bit version of Win 7 Ultimate instead of the 64 bit version, why, I have NO IDEA.
So, I want to replace the Win 7 installation with the 64 bit version but have read that this can be tricky. What is the proper way to do this? I'm not sure I trust the Geek Squad to do this for me.
I assume I need to reformat the Windows partition, defragment and then install the 64 bit version of Win 7 Ultimate, but am not completely sure. I want to be sure that I do NOT do anything that could affect the Mac side
What do you guys think?
I think you should take it back to the Geeks and tell them what you want, I also think you should backup before you do.
You do not need to reformat or repartition, you need to reinstall Windows from a 64bit copy, 32 & 64 have identical requirements as far as partition and format go, defragmenting has nothing at all to do with your needs.

Visual Studio 2005 with SP1 for Windows 7 - 64 bit

Hi,
I am trying to install Visual Studio 2005 on a 64-bit platform (Windows 7). The version in about section reads Version 8.0.50727.42
(RTM.050727-4200)
I need to install the Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2005 but the installer available is for 32 bit (VS80sp1-KB932232-X86-ENU.exe)
This does not install on 64 bit system.
How do I get Visual Studio 2005 with SP1 installed ?
P.S- On the network I work on, I can see a Windows 2008 (64 bit) system with the version of Visual Studio 2005 that reads Version
8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600) but I dont know how that was installed. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Wilson

Hello WillisB,
I think your concern is the name X86 here. Actually Visual Studio is x86 version and we do not have a x64 version Visual Studio. So if you install Visual Studio on X64 version, it is also available. And when you see this page
http://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/details.aspx?id=7524 You can see the system requirements:
Supported Operating System
Windows 7; Windows Server 2008; Windows Server 2008 R2; Windows Vista
Processor/RAM:
Vista hardware requirements.
Required Software: licensed copy of a Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1.
So please don't mind the name x86, the update can still be installed on Win 7 x64.
By the way, to install Visual Studio 2005 on Win 7, please check YiChun's post on this thread:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/f75d8ff2-bed4-473b-bc9c-6faf78c5d83a/installing-visual-studio-2005-pro-on-windows-7-pro-64bit?forum=vssetup
"To apply Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 7, please check the following points step by step:
- Download Visual Studio 2005 SP1 and install it
Visual Studio® 2005 Express Editions Service Pack 1
Visual Studio® 2005 Service Pack 1 for Standard or above edition
- Download
Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista and install it
- When launch Visual Studio 2005, please run it with administrator privileges
(Right-click the icon >> "Run as Administrator")"
By the way, Visual Studio 2005 is out of our mainstream support, what about change to use some new version of VS? For example, Visual Studio 2013 Community version.

Help Please? Flash Player not working, windows 7 32 bit IE.

Hi. I cannot get the Flash player to play content in Internet Explorer 32 bit. I am extremely frustrated. My info is:

I have spent several days reading this forum as well as other forums on the same subject and have tried many many suggestions that have been posted without results. I have checked my user account settings, mine is set to administrator. I have checked and rechecked Internet explorer internet option settings and tried them all including none ( set to not recommended lowest settings) for all the zones. I have reset internet explorer settings under the advanced tab. I have tried to install the flash player many times using both the auto install from the browser window as well as the manual download and install program from your web site many times. I have uninstalled from windows control panel and also using your manual uninstall program between each reinstall attempt.
I have restarted both my computer and internet explorer after each install and uninstall so many times I can't count. There are many other things I have tried as per some of the things I have read but so far no success. The interesting thing i find is while trying to fix this problem i downloaded the flash player code named "square" 64 bit and it works perfectly using Internet explorer 64 bit.
Internet explorere Adobe add ons are:
In IE 32 bit add ons listed are;
shockwave activeX control - enabled

Good Morning.
I can not get the batch file to create a log file. Anyway the general message throughout the entire batch file report is that nothing succeded. Each time it tried to create a reg key the resulting message is :
Regsetsecurity error : 5 access is denied
When trying to reset FP security permissions:
Set security privilage : access is denied
Warning :unable to SeSecurityPrivilage privilage. This privilage may be required.
Then when it tries to create file "macromed" error is
Createfile error : 1314 A required privilage is not held by the client
Anyway this gives you a general idea of what has happened running the batch file,
I am starting to think we are spending far to much time on this ,but I enjoy the challange to correct the problem.
If this is due to a corruption or some such thing in the registry I could have reformatted and reinstalled My system complete in less than a day. This is the fourth day on this.
If the User Accounts list me as the administrator and there are no other accounts how can I not have the required permissions?

Oracle.DataAccess.dll on Windows 7 64 bit

Hi,
I am migrating a .Net 3.5 windows class library from WinXP 32 bit to Win7 64 bit. I use Oracle 11g 64 bit client to connect to database.
my code works in Debug build but not in Release build. here is the error message:
"An attempt was made to load an assembly with an incorrect format:"
I did not complete uninstall by Oracle Deinstall, and re-install it.
Debug build have a waring:
"Assembly generation -- Referenced assembly 'Oracle.DataAccess.dll' targets a different processor."
Release build still the same incorrect format error.
here is more information:
under C:\Windows\assembly
Oracle.DataAccess 2.112.1.0 89b483f429c47342 AMD64
Oracle.Web 2.112.1.0 89b483f429c47342 AMD64
How should I fix it? should I download and install "64-bit Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC)"? What's difference between ODP.net in Oracle client and in ODAC?
Thank you,
Wes

What do you have /32BIT flag set to in the assembly? Ie, was it compiled with AnyCPU, x86, etc? You can use corflags.exe with the .net sdk to find out.
Prior to VS2010, the default was AnyCPU which meant it ran as 64 bit on 64 bit OS, and 32 bit on 32 bit OS.
As of VS2010, the IDE defaults to x86, which means it runs as 32 bit no matter what.
32 bit apps need 32 bit odp/client. 64 bit apps need 64 bit odp/client.
The error you're getting usually means you have the wrong bits (32/64) of the Oracle client installed.
Assuming you have the wrong client bits installed, you could either
a) make the app run as the other bits by setting/clearing the 32BIT flag (also by using corflags.exe)
b) install the other bits of Oracle client software. a 32 bit home and a 64 bit home play rather nicely together for the most part, but you need to install them into separate homes.
Hope it helps,
Greg

S40 Theme Studio

Hi,
I am trying to open my saved themes, created with S40 Theme studio (2.2 edition), with my 6280 phone. The phone "sees" the themes (when I highlight them with the cursor in the theme menu, I see the specific image and the font color changes), but when I click "apply" I get always the "file corrupted" notification.
I am using the latest pc suite to transport the .nth files to my phone, via bluetooth. I am working on a laptop with windows xp with SP2.
Does anyone have an idea why? I looked up the issue on forum.discussions, but, although other users have posted with the same problem, there wasn't any answer.
Thanks for any help.

ITunes 9.2.1, iPhone 4, Windows 7 64 bit not working together

I was able to connect my iphone 4 to itunes about a week ago. Then all of a sudden my iphone was not recognized in iTunes. I didn't get any error messages. I then upgraded to iTunes 9.2.1 on Friday in hopes that it would help. Unfortunately iTunes now takes >10 min to start, then after plugging in my phone, iTunes stops responding. Every once in awhile it will come back and I get the message "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE800006B)". Although Win7 recognizes the phone as it pops up the auto play message and i can go to explorer and see it as a device. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. Confirmed it is the iTunes 64 bit version even though it looks like a lot of the processes are running in *32 mode. I have tried the what some of the support pages have indicated. I can't get anything to work. If anyone else has some other suggestions i would love to hear them.

The EXACT same thing is happening to me. My phone is brand new, so the fact that I can't activate it due to this problem is really frustrating. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times, followed apple's instructions in its problem solvers guide...nothing seems to work. I've messed around with the drivers a bit too, with no luck. Anyone have any ideas?
Go to the Event Viewer (Control Panel || Administrative Tools || Event Viewer) and look under Windows Logs || Application. Do you see any Bonjour errors? Since Windows 7 recognizes the camera part of the iPhone (nicely done Win7 integration!) Microsoft is probably not the culprit here.
Uninstall/reinstall iTunes is part of the process, but you also have to make sure you uninstall all the other components Apple installs (Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour for Windows, QuickTime), do a reboot, and then install everything from scratch. That may fix the problem.
This is exactly what an Apple guy talked me through over the phone. (I think I even uninstalled Apple Software Updater) I had a similar problem with the iPad on Win7 x64 - it was Bonjour that is the culprit. The x64 flavor of Bonjour for Windows is not as stable as the 32-bit version.
But everything has been golden for me since the reinstall...
Give that a try.
Then if not, you could start looking to see if there is another ZeroConf/SSDP provider that is conflicting with Apple's somehow.

Re: ATI HD 2600 PRO WINDOWS 7 64 BIT BOOTCAMP DRIVER ERROR

Okay - I *think* I was able to get the modified INF to work properly now - it turns out there were many more instances where changes needed to be made that my original procedure did not address. The updated procedure is below with additional steps added.
Procedure to manually update iMac Radeon HD 2600 PRO video card under Windows 7 (64 bit).
Rationale:
> Boot Camp drivers incorrectly identify the video card my 24" iMac (Dual core; 2.8 GHz - graphics card is shown as a "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT") - this has been a long-standing problem when using my iMac under Boot Camp. There have been reports about how to update the drivers manually by obtaining them from ATI/AMD then installing them.
Background:
> When I was previously running Windows XP, I was able to perform the graphics driver update per the online instructions, without any problems.
> When I updated to Windows 7, 64-bit (because I was updated my Mac OS to 10.7 [Lion] and Windows XP was no longer supported in Boot Camp), I could no longer update the graphic card drivers to the Win7 64-bit version (it was giving an error that the driver was not supported).
> The solution I finally came upon was to modify the installer .INF file that comes with the drivers from AMD. I take no credit for this, except from the fact that I adapted a procedure I found for doing this for graphics cards in notebooks. The original place I found this is here <http://forum.notebookreview.com/gaming-software-graphics-cards/370695-guide-upda ting-your-ati-drivers-manually.html>.
NOTE & DISCLAIMER: I don't claim to fully understand every step that is going on here, nor if every step is needed. I based this on the procedure referenced in link immediately above and it seems to be working for me (that is, my graphics card driver was updated for Win7, 64-bit just like had been previously under WinXP) - YMMV.
>> This procedure was done with the AMD Radeon™ Desktop Video Card Drivers for "64 bit Windows Vista/Windows 7 "; Version 11.7, posted 2011-07-27 (main page: http://support.amd.com/US/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx)
1. Driver only was downloaded from AMD.
2. Downloaded file was installed to default location: C:\ATI
3. Gather info about the graphics card:
a. Open the Device Manager (Start>Computer [right-click]>Properties)
b. Expand the "Display Adapters" item to reveal the GPU (mine was listed as "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT")
c. Right-click on the GPU and select "Properties"
d. Click the "Details" tab in the Properties window.
e. Click the drop-down under "Property" (top item should say "Device description) - find the item in the list that says "Hardware Ids"
>> There were four values for my card, shown below:
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_0300
f. Right click on the first value and select "Copy" - paste it into a separate document.
g. Go back and click the drop-down under "Property" - find the item in the list that says "Inf section" (it was far down the list).
h. Copy the value shown there and paste into a separate document; my value read: ati2mtag_M76
4. Modify the INF file from AMD:
a. First thing I did was make a copy of the directory containing the files that were installed in step 2 (located at C:\ATI) - my directory was called "11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd".
b. Go into this path: C:\ATI\Support\11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF
c. Find the INF files (icon is a document with a gear on it), that start with "C7..." and "CH..." (mine were called "C7122569" & "CH122569").
d. Open the "C7..." file (it opens in Notepad).
e. The first thing I did was find and replace all existing instances of "M76" in the INF (I arbitrarily replaced it with the following value "M7a6"). There are a number of existing references to this property type in the original INF.
> I do not know if this is absolutely necessary but I found that it helped me to distinguish what was originally there with what I was modifying.
f. Do a "Find" command for "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" (if you search for a shorter phrase, be aware there are other "2600 PRO" cards in the list).
> The exact line I found was <"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9589>
g. Replace that line with the Inf section value and the first Hardware ID value, using the same format as the original line. The new entry I made read (notice that each successive entry has an addition <space> between the end of 'PRO' and the ending double quote):
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B&REV_00
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_030000
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_0300
h. Next do a find for all instances of "ati2mtag_RV630"; for every instance you will need to replace that value with " ati2mtag_M76".
i. Next do another find for "RV630" and make sure to replace all instances with "M76" (this is to catch the couple of places where it doesn't have the "ati2mtag" prefix)
j. Close the file, saving your changes.
k. Repeat steps 4d - 4i, using the "CH..." file.
> I personally do not think this is needed since I believe the "C7…" INF is for Windows 7 and "CH…" is for Vista, but I modified both anyway.
5. Update the graphics driver using the modified INF files:
a. Go back to the Device Manager and expand the "Display Adapters" item again to show the "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT" GPU
b. Right-click on the GPU and select "Update Driver Software..."
c. In the resulting window, choose "Browse my computer for driver software".
d. I navigated to the "C7..." file along the following path: <C:\ATI\Support\11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF>
e. At this point, I was shown a window that showed "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" twice (that's all that was in the list). I selected the first instance and it moved on.
f. I got a warning that the driver was unsigned, obviously I allowed it to move forward with the installation.
g. The updating proceeded and the screen momentarily went black, twice. After the second time the description in the Device Manager changed to reflect that the GPU was now "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO".
FINAL NOTE: as of right now everything seems to be running properly and I have experienced no problems or graphical glitches. If anyone reading this sees an obvious problem with what I've done, please let me know. I have run benchmarks between this and the standard installed mobility driver and I get about a 10% increase in overall FPS (using the free "NovaBench" app by NovaWave).

look what this guy said:
Hi Guys,
I've spent a few hours over the last week trying to find something that works to update the driver. Using the Mobility Modder from Driverheaven I managed to install the Catalyst 7.8 but not the actual driver - you need to modify the INF for this. The only problem is that I can't be sure what the differences are between the mobility 2600 and the standard-computer 2600. I would like to assume it's just a few settings such as power saving and interal/ external displays.
I tried to modify the INF and used the settings for the standard graphics card. It worked fine, but I put the original Apple driver back on because I didn't want to find out I was overclocking the Graphics CPU accidentally.
After using mobility modder I added this line just after the mobility 2300 graphics card entry:
"ATI MOBILITY RADEON X2600 XT " = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN1002&DEV9583
If you notice and compare the mobility and standard entries, the mobilities have the same ati2mtag but followed by M-something rather than RV-something.
This appears to direct the INF to the correct setup of the Catalyst software for that card - as I say, I used the settings for the standard 2600 card and it installed ok. I didn't try any games though.
On another note, I'm resisting doing anything further or testing any games until I have the screen issue resolved - after exchanging the naff 20" screen with it's horizontal shading (a dark shade at the top to a light shade at the bottom - very noticeable with darkish solid colours!) I've found my new (more costly!) 24" is having some problems with picture breakup, though so far only in Vista which I installed via Bootcamp.
I wish Apple would get there act together. It's my first Apple and I was expecting great things! So far, I would have had less hassle if I had built my own computer with Vista on and thats saying something!!

he added the RV630 string. but i tried that with my exact windows xp driver device ids and yes it still completed the installation successfully,but the fps sill stayed the same

ITunes for Windows 7 64 bit, Windows Live Mail Contacts not (all?) syncing

I have researched this as much as I can but cannot find a solution.
I had my iPhone 4 synced to my Window Vista Home Premium PC using iTunes just fine until January when the PC motherboard crashed. No data was lost and all contacts have been restored to my new PC with is Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit). My contacts are in Windows Live Mail (Windows Contacts) and I'm syncing via iTunes with "Sync Contacts with: Windows Contacts" selected.
However, not all contacts are syncing with my iPhone. In fact, I'm not sure they are syncing at all, although the sync function goes through. It may be that the only ones that sync are those that existed before the new PC (i.e., the Windows Vista contacts which were in Windows Mail). I have created new contacts on both the PC using the new version Windows Live Mail and on the iPhone since the crash, and would like to get them synced up.
Symptoms:
1) Some specific contacts on PC are not on the iPhone after multiple sync attempts.
I have so far positively identified one contact that did not sync. It shows in Windows Live Mail under Contacts, however it does NOT show up in my Windows username/Contacts folder!
2) One Contacts group on PC is not on the iPhone, although two others are (they probably were from before the crash).
I have so far positively identified one group that did not sync. It shows in Windows Live Mail under Contacts groups, however it does NOT show up in my Contacts folder as a .group file!
3) The same group as #2 also does NOT show up in the iTunes group list under "Selected Groups" on iTunes, but the other two groups do. (I do not use "selected groups" because that disables "all contacts" syncing, but the groups are visible grayed out on the list.)
4) As a test, I created a new contact on my iPhone, synced, and it shows up now in Windows Live Mail Contacts; it also shows up in my Windows username/Contacts folder.
5) As a test, I created a new contact in Windows Live Mail and it does NOT show up in my username/Contacts folder. I synced the iPhone again and it does NOT show up on my iPhone contacts.
OK folks, where are these missing contacts going and how can I get them synced?? Thanks!
PS: I have the latest iTunes 10.5.3.3, no updates are available. However, Apple Support/iTunes seems to suggest Windows 7 64 bit either "does not use Windows Contacts" (which seemed quite wrong until I ran the tests above), and also that Windows 7 64 requires iTunes 10.4.1, which I cannot install because I have a later version installed. I would have assumed the correct version installed for my OS when I installed iTunes on the new PC. iTunes runs fine by itself and in coordination with my iPhone other than the above issue.
PPS: This site seems potentially relevant, however is highly technical: http://liveunplugged.wordpress.com/2011/02/04/windows-live-mail-contacts-databas e/
but doesn't help with this problem.

I didn't get any help on this from the forum, but from studying around and experimenting with different approaches, I have come up with the following conclusions:
Under Windows Vista, Windows Mail synced its contacts with Windows Contacts [which are in c:\users\username\contacts]. iPhone via iTunes synced with Windows Contacts. Changes to either Windows Mail Contacts or iPhone contacts would always update each other. Life was good.
Under Windows 7, Windows LIVE Mail (WLM) does NOT sync its contacts with Windows Contacts. It puts them into a hidden database. If you have prior Windows Contacts and brought them along for the ride, they are still there in the folder but they are not connected to the WLM contacts database
When you first set up Windows Live Mail, you can import your Windows Contacts and they appear to be synced. (In fact, they are, but only at that single point in time.)
If you change any Windows Live Mail contact or add a new one, it does NOT change in Windows Contacts. It only changes in the WLM contacts database. It therefore does NOT sync to your iPhone.
Similarly, if you change a contact on iPhone or add a new one, it will sync with Windows Contacts. However, this does NOT update your Windows Live Contacts.
So, from what I can tell, here is what this means: to maintain a steady state, you have two choices:
Whenever you update or add a contact, add it in either iPhone or Windows Contacts [the Windows Contacts folder has a "New Contact" button], and they will stay in sync with each other. Then manually update or add it in Windows Live Contacts to keep those up to date so you can use them for e-mail. OR
Whenever you update or add a contact, add it in either iPhone or Windows Contacts, and they will stay in sync with each other. DO NOT manually update Windows Live Contacts, but realize they are not always up to date. If an address needed for an e-mail is not in there, manually retrieve it from your Windows Contacts or your iPhone and insert it into the e-mail. [Having done that, you can right click on the address in the e-mail and add it to your WLM contacts if you want.] Periodically, manually delete all of your Windows Live Mail Contacts and then re-import your Windows Contacts into Windows Live Mail and, voila, your contacts are in sync again! (Isn't that great, I mean really awful??)
NOTE: If you follow course #2, DO NOT import your Windows Contacts into Windows Live Mail contacts without deleting your existing Windows Live Mail contacts, or you will end up with a double set plus the new ones.
FURTHER NOTE: I obviously can't make any guarantee you won't lose data if you follow course #2. Be sure you have a complete backup before deleting your WLM contacts. However, I will say that after experiencing a double set of WLM contacts (by failing to understand the first NOTE above), it was impossible to pick out the new items [WLM will now show you the date of entry or modification of the contact, so you can't sort by date], so I deleted all of them and re-imported my Windows Contacts and had a complete set again.
AND ONE FINAL NOTE: I have not tested how any of this affects Windows Live Contacts used online outside of Windows Live Mail, because I do not use Windows Live online.
Please post further comments if you have any more information on this topic.

FF 15.0 on Windows 7 (64 bit) PC opens in Safe Mode but will NOT open after letting FF do reset procedure; now "stuck" in loop.

1) FF 15.0.0.4619 on Windows PC 64 bit machine. No themes; about a dozen fairly standard plug-ins; a few extensions - fairly vanilla setup. Been having occassional problem this past week in viewing web PDFs.
Crash occurred after some program (adobe ??) wanted to do routine update.
2) Upon clicking FF icon pop up indicates "problem and unexpected crash" but clicking details button does NOT provide any info. Clicking on Restart FF button offers me option to Start in Safe Mode or Quit FF.
3) Starts in Safe Mode and first time I did that FF reported Java as being disabled and NOT upto date. Did Java update/install (Java Platform SE 7 U7 10.7.2). FF still will not start except in Safe Mode.
4) Re-booted computer ... Clicking FF icon brings up pop up with problem and crash sentence but no details. Following screen offers Reset to Default option, and upon clicking Reset it takes me back to the same pop up - so I am stuck in a loop that seems to accomplish nothing. Using Reset upon entering Sage Mode results in same loop.
I really hate using IE so appreciate any assistance in getting back to beloved FF.
