Unarchiving a .pcf file at start up

Recently, I had to clone my drive and install the new one. Everything seems to be working, as I'm able to access all my programs, files, etc. However, at the start up, just before the desktop propagates, the screen reads "unarchiving...(some file)" and then it leaves a .pcf file on my desktop. Here's the file it's leaving: ncenI10-ISO8859-14.pcf
I have no idea what this file is, or why it's doing this. Any help?
David

A basic search of the file name you state, as a starting point, the results
indicate the item is related to a font of 75dpi or 100dpi for welsh text.
Some indicate there could be a relationship between X-11 software & this.
There may be another purpose for a file of that general kind, but that one
may be due to some software you have in the original pre-clone system
that has an issue in how it is seen by the later clone.
I've never seen such an incidence occurring in any of my OS X clones in
the various Mac OS X versions I've cloned, via a clone utility or copy via
disk image within Disk Utility and restore a Mac from it.
So, that issue is a new one on me.
From the results of my search of the name you stated of the file, one
implied a possible relationship between an X11 installation and the file.
+• Use google search in a browser to find results: ncenI10-ISO8859-14.pcf+
Other than these bits of disconnected information & an inconclusive search
I have nothing on the topic; and this has never occurred to my systems.
{Mine have not had the optional X11 components installed, either; mine all
have their permissions repaired and other fixes done before booting from
them or re-clone of their content back to a wiped & zeroed hard disk drive.}
Perhaps someone with more background in the use of the file you noted,
could shed more light on where it belongs or how to disable its appearance.
The items in the user account start-up folder listing could be checked to see
if there is an app set to launch then, which you could remove from the cue.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • Illustrator CS6 Stops working in Windows 7 when Opening file or Starting new project

    Just installed CS6 (legal copy with serial number) on Windows 7 (64bit) computer. Photoshop seems to work fine. Illustrator opens, but when I try to open an existing file or start a new file windows says the program has stopped working. I've already removed every Adobe product I could find on the computer and reinstalled. I also tried deleting the AppsData\Roaming\Adobe\AdobeIllustrator\en_US folder.

    Try checking for permissions on these folders one by one:  C:\Users\Current_User\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CSx Settings
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Adobe Illustrator CSx Settings
    Permissions on above folders should be R & W.
    If these settings are fine then check for permissions on these folders at location: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CSx\Presets\
    Adobe Illustrator CSx
    Presets
    Permissions on above folders should atleast be 'Read' or 'Read & Write' both.
    This might help. Since, it works for you using different user account then it is definitely a user permissions issue.

    I've tried to download the flash player several different times and each time i get a connection error message.It downloads fine and when i run the file to start install, it installs up to 5% and then i get the connection error message. I've tried disabling my antivirus software, closing my browser for install and nothing.Can someone please help me? I'm using Firefox.

    Hi!
    I had the exact same issue, being on a mac. If you are on a mac and the connection error message occurs, then use this link http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
    It allows you to download it offline, which is what I used.
    Hope I was help!

  • How to Directly import/configure .pcf Files in Mavericks?

    Hi guyz,
                 I am sure this question has been asked several times but I am askng out od frustration and am desperate. Is the ANY way.... ANY WAY where I can avoid manually configuring the Cisco VPN using the Built-in Client. I am especially sick of repeatedly decoding the enc_GroupPwd in hte pcf files. I work on a support project and I need to like configure more than 3 VPNs per day to access the various sites for my work and it is really annoying to manually configure everything everytime. Any suggestions to make my life easier? Thanks for any help provided.. I am on Mavericks, in case anyone needs it.....

    Aha! You are absolutely right. I remember seeing the files as a different format. I believe they were actually saved (converted) to mpeg4 format, if I recall correctly. I thought that was strange, and wondered why that had happened. So, I guess I'll delete all the iTune files from my hard drive; there were quite a few. And, I'll copy and paste the AIFF files directly into a folder on my hard drive via Finder. Ultimately, your way is how I got one of the audio files into FCE (when I finally got one to work). I just couldn't understand why all the files I'd imported into iTunes wouldn't work with FCE (given that all Mac products are supposed to be compatible). In any case, you've enlightened me. Thank you!

  • PCF file missing hostname and other information

    Using Cisco VPN Client 4.8.01.0300, several users have reported issues with being unable to launch the VPN Client software. The client returns Error 5 - Hostname not available; upon reviewing the .PCF file, the hostname and other group info is now missing; an import of a valid .PCF file resolves the problem. I've seen variations of this issue discussed on this board, but no solution to the underlying problem - something corrupts the .PCF file.

    i think the problem is because of cisco bug CSCsa74320

  • Batch file to start and stop

    Hi All,
    Can we create a batch file to start and stop the services. I need to start all the services like shared, essbase, eas, planning, webanlysis and financial reporting, and at also need to stop them using windows batch file.(Using windows 2003 server....service pack 1). Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The simplest script would be something like this. Save it as a .bat file, set all your services to manual and then set up a scheduled task to run this script when the computer starts.

    I do not recommend reformatting your harddrive and reloading your software.  This is a Windows thing. On an older mac it may be difficult to find all your software again.
    Best to have greater than 2gig of free space.  Many posters to these forums state that you need much more free space: 5 gig to 10 gig or 10 percent of you hd size.

    Be careful when deleting files. A lot of people have trashed their system when deleting things. Place things in trash. Reboot & run your applications. Empty trash.
    Go after large files that you have created & know what they are.  Do not delete small files that are in a folder you do not know what the folder is for. Anything that is less than a megabyte is a small file these days.

  • What are the weird files that start with ._ that pc users get when I send zips?

    When I send files that I zip using Stuiffit to pc users they get the files plus an equal number of files that start with ._ Does anybody know what these are and how to get rid of them?
    Thanks!
    Karen

    Dot files are invisible files that OS X uses to display positions of files and folders icon for instance when you open a folder.
    That is indeed what a .DS_Store file does, but that's not the ones Bogies is referring to.
    There are various other items that start with a period, such as .Trashes. Every drive gets a trash folder, just as Windows does to each of its drives. While it hides its own trash folders from view, Windows doesn't recognize OS X's version of the trash folder, so you see it.
    But you're likely talking about these. Every file you copy from OS X to a DOS/Windows formatted drive gets a ._ file. The Mac OS has a twin file system; the data fork, and the resource fork. Windows has only a data fork.
    In order for OS X to maintain the resource fork data on a Windows drive, it has to write the resource data as a separate data fork file. So a file named foo.tif will also get a ._foo.tif file on the drive. Mac users don't see them since UNIX automatically hides anything that starts with a period. When you copy the file back to OS X, the data and resource fork info is combined again into a normal Mac file.
    Most of the time, removing these are no big deal. They hold simple data like Type and Creator codes, modification dates, icons, etc. Others, like Mac Type 1 PostScript or Mac legacy TrueType fonts have all of the font data in the resource fork. Delete the ._ files for those types of fonts, and you're left with nothing.

  • Getting log file when starting J2EE 1.4 Application Server

    I get a log file when starting up the Application Server. I am just a beginner.
    Is there anyone who could help me in setting up?
    Thanks,
    AboliRanade

    What do you mean by you get a log file when starting up the AppServer? There is always a log file present. There should not be a new log file created every time you start the server. Look under <install directory>/domains/domain1/logs for the server log file.

  • Count files that start with a certain letter

    I need a simple script to give me a count of the files in a certain folder that start with "A" or some other character that I might choose.
    I tried this but got an error
    count every file name starts with "A" of folder ProofsOutFolder
    Thanks for the help.

    You can also approach it this way...
    <pre style="width:630px;height:auto;overflow-x:auto;overflow-y:hidden;"
    title="Copy this code and paste it into your Script Editor application.">set theFolder to choose folder
    set theChar to text returned of ¬
    (display dialog "Enter Search Character:" default answer "A")
    do shell script "find " & quoted form of POSIX path of theFolder & ¬
    " -type f -name '" & theChar & "*'|awk 'END{print NR}'"</pre>
    Just another option to try out.

  • CE Flash files always start at the beginning?

    I have had an online Continuing education course designed,
    which has the main contents embedded into .asp pages.
    The problem is that when customers "log-out", then return and
    "log in" again whithout closing thier browser, the fllash file
    always starts at the beginning, rather than where my database
    indicates.
    I "think" this is caused by the flashplayer plugin "keeping"
    the flash file in memory, and starting the "movie" again at the
    beginning? Thus if they close thier browser, deleting the flash
    file from memory, and re-starting the browser again, and "logging
    in" again, it functions correctly, beginning the flash file on the
    correct page (which is indicated in the database)
    If this IS what is happening, can this be corrected, so that
    upon "Log out" the flash file will be automatically removed,
    without the need to re-start the browser?

    I believe this will work for you. Does for me. Go to SysPref/Speech/Text to Speech. Check box of: Speak selected text when the key is press. Set key. Open the pdf and highlight what you want to hear. Hit key you set. When it's done with it's spiel highlight more text and hit key. It auto erases previous highlight. You'll see. It's not very ideal, but it's what is dealt.
