UPS in BC Windows

G'day !
When I connect my Mini to the UPS via USB, I have the "UPS" option in the Energy Safer preference pane - no additional software installed.
I'm going to install W7 via BC soon but don't expect it will be so simple on Windows. I'm assuming I will need to install the "PowerChute" software in order for the UPS to give the shutdown command while in Windows, correct ?
Thanks for confirming, folks !

Even w/o PowerChute (2.2 or later) Windows 7 will recognize the presence of the UPS, but I always install the latest.
Most have good software for Windows 7 and don't have anything for OS X, so all you got was a generic built-in UPS Energy Saver with minimal control and configuration.
It should have shipped with CD or go to vendor for more current version. CDs are sadly often out of date.

Just installed Malwarebyte and i am still getting unwanted pop ups and new windows.

Just installed Malwarebyte and i am still getting unwanted pop ups and new windows.

You can supplement your Malwarebytes Anti-Malware scan with some other tools Firefox users have found effective. See: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
But it also makes sense to check a couple of things manually.
(1) Extensions installed in Firefox
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then take a careful look and disable everything you either don't recognize or don't use regularly. If Firefox prompts you to restart to make the change effective, you can do that as the last step after completing your review of the list.
(2) Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program
Click the "Installed on" column heading to bring the most recent infections, I mean, additions, to the top. This is useful in revealing bundles that may have snuck unwanted software onto your PC. Remove everything you don't remember choosing intentionally.
Any improvement?

Safari pop ups and new windows

Everytime I'm using safari a new window with a survey or competition will open. There are constant advertisements and every time I click on a link it opens a new window or 5 . I have already blocked pop ups and it's still happening. Hope someone can help as it's driving me crazy

Alison,

How do i turn off the on-screen pop-ups and hint windows

I do a lot of copy/paste from websites. When I double click on something I get a very annoying link window (little pop-up) to google or wikipedia. I must be able to shut those off; they are interfering with my work. If I can't, I'll be forced back to I.E.
Also, I get these little 'tool tips' as I scroll across the screen. I use two screens, and I use the side bar (for example) As I move from the right screen to the left I get a tool tip telling me how to us it. I ALREADY KNOW.
I'm really annoyed at the number of things flashing up on my screen as I work, that I can't get shut off. They must go away, or FireFox will not work for me.

Co-el, This wasn't possible as there wasn't a navigation bar available. The F11 did the trick though. Thanks for adding to the discussion.

Software Updates, Tray Pop-ups and Maintenance Windows

I will try to keep it to the point.
End Users in Europe power down their machines every night. Patch Tuesday rolls around, we set the deadline to patch for one week
later (the following Tuesday) @ 10pm.
So they come in that following Wednesday morning, power on their system and bam, software updates are installed and reboots are forced right
there in their earlier AM which is upsetting them.
Our settings? Deployment is required, detail level is “only success and error messages”, “Display in Software Center and show all notifications”, and when the installation
deadline is reached allow the following activities to be performed outside the maintenance window: “Software Update Installation” and “System Restart”.
So before I get a whole bunch of, “disable reboots” or “notify your users” or “use WOL”. I want to discuss this on another angle.
We are getting reports that users are not seeing the notifications. As you can see it is set to all notifications. Likely they are happening and they are not seeing
them.
Main Question: Is there a way via a registry tweak or client setting that will do one of the following:
Make the tray popups more frequent
Make the tray popups last longer
Bring the main “hey things to patch screen” come up without clicking the tray popup
Anything we can do to make the notification BEFORE the deadline more in their faces would be ideal. Anyone?

This happened because patch updates reached deadline and installed forcefully and restart the machines. from
the software center and system tray. Just configure that in the deployment
Unless the site wide hide deployments option is selected,
you will get icons in the system tray. When that is selected, you do NOT get icons at all. If this is enabled, but you suppress the deployment itself, then you get the icons but not balloons.

Why does my Safari browser keep having pop-ups and new windows open without permission?

Whenever I click on a button to go to another page or something, a new tab with a new website opens up. When I search on Google, there are all kinds of ads and pop-ups on there. I really know nothing about Internet security, so I do not know what is wrong.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Download a file without opening new window

Hi everybody,
I need to save a file to local PC into a certain predefined file in such a way that user does not get any pop-ups or new windows - i.e. 'in background'.
I have tried 'FileDownload' - this get file content displayed in new window and if saved is to be allowed - a save pop-up is displayed.
If I try attach_file_to_response of cl_wd_runtime_services - it also gives a pop-up.
Does anybody know a way to download a file to local PC in such a way that the content of the file is not displayed in the new pop-up window and save dialog does not appear?
Thank you for your help.
Helen

Hi Olena,
You will not be able to download a file in the background due to the browser security defaults. All browsers always prompt the users to accept files otherwise viruses and trojans would be able to be installed on your pc without you accepting them.
I know it is possible to write via SAPGui without a prompt but not from a browser.
Sorry.
Richard
PS Dont forget the points!

Can I get a time machine hard drive to restore onto Windows XP?

Yeah, I just bought an iMac and I figured why not sell my Mac Mini? So I have time machine on and I back up all my files to my external hard drive of course. Now, sense I am selling my Mac Mini, I need to use Windows XP on my old PC for a month cause I custom ordered an iMac and that takes 6 weeks. Will my external hard drive with time machine back ups work with Windows XP so I can restore all of my files from my hard drive to Windows XP? and than also, will I be able to put my files back onto the hard drive and than load them all up to my new iMac?

The external hard drive you have been using for Time Machine will most likely not be recognized by Windows XP. The external hard drive is formated as HPFS. You may be able to read files from it (not sure) but you won't be able to write anything new.
When you get your new iMac, however, you can plug in that external hard drive and tell Leopard to load your account, documents, bookmarks, contacts, applications, etc. It will make your new iMac look like and behave like your old mac mini. It's pretty cool.
I hope this helps,

HELP: Windows Won't Recognize FAT32 Volume on Macbook Pro

OK, So my brother just got one of the brand new Core 2 Duo Macbook Pros with LED backlighting and the 8600M GT. I tried to set him up with a similar set up as mine, in which I partitioned my hard drive into 3 parts.
The first is the OSX partition. The second is the Windows Vista Home Premium partition, which disk utility describes as a Microsoft Basic Data partition. The third is a FAT32 partition labeled "MUSIC". They are listed in that order in OSX's disc utility from top to bottom.
I have a Core Duo Macbook Pro and I use bootcamp to access windows mainly for gaming and sometimes I just feel like using windows, and I've stored all my music on the FAT32 "MUSIC" partition so that both operating systems can access it. It works beautifully.
So I tried to do the same for my brother, and the Windows installation went perfectly and Windows was giving me no problems until I found that his fat32 "MUSIC" partition wasn't showing up under My Computer.
Apart from the hardware (his Macbook Pro being one of the newer ones and having a bigger hard drive), there are a few differences in the set ups. His Windows partition ended up being described as NT Filesystem (or something like that) and his Windows partition is the third one down listed in disk utility from top to bottom with OSX at the top and "MUSIC" in the middle.
I don't know what to do. The internet has proved useless so far and I can't figure out how to force windows to mount a FAT32 volume that it doesn't mount automatically. Please help me!

Please help !!

Many thanks for your kind response...... problem has been solved via antivirus...... my PC got a Trojan.....VSearch..... regards.

Power outage UPS

Hi all,
I am writing some codes. The idea is the following.
The laptop will be plugged into a UPS, along with the high-V supplies for the detector. In case of a power outage, the UPS will send a flag to be picked up by LabView software. If the flag lasts longer than, say, 5 minutes the software will assume a serious and long-term power outage. Then it can begin to shut down the detector gently, well before depleting the UPS battery.
Does anyone have an example of code?

What UPS are you using? How are you communicating with that UPS? Many UPS will have a USB connection that Windows can then communicate with it directly. There's some example code floating around somewhere for reading the UPS status from Windows.
The UPS I am currently using flips a relay whenever it goes to running on battery. I can then read the status of that relay with a DIO.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Captivate Breaks Popup Windows in IE 6

I'm attempting to use Captivate 3, current update, to
document Vignette V7 (www.vignette.com) system behavior. The system
uses IE6, with pop ups coming from pop ups coming from pop ups. The
windows use javascript extensively. They do appear, but don't
finish loading. Behavior is fine until I turn on Captivate's
recording function. I've tried both selected area, application, and
full screen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

We discussed this issue at length a while ago here. It seems
Captivate
somehow prevents popups from launching in new windows in IE
7. Workaround is
fairly simple. At the point where you would click to launch
the popup, pause
Captivate (you might have to save and close your file) Then
launch the
popup, and resume recording in Captivate.
Annoying, I know, but easy to work around.

Removing pop ups and green underlined words from safari?

Unwanted pop ups on current window and new windows keep coming up and many words are underlined in green (as hyperlinks) and I don't know how to fix it!

RESOLUTION: GNB MAX and Radeon 9700 Crashes

I had various lock-ups, crashes and "Windows detected and recovered from a device failure" error messages with my GNB MAX motherboard and Radeon 9700 and they are now fixed.
I was able to receive a beta version of an upcoming set of drivers from ATI and they did the trick!!
Just wanted to give you all some hope.
Hang in there!

Oops, I spoke too soon. I think FastWrites is on (I remember turning it off before on previous drivers and noticing a big slow down that is not present now) but there isn't a SmartGart tab appearing in my ATI control panel any more. I checked Advanced - Options - Details and yes, 8X is on.
How can I verify that FastWrites is on without the SmartGart tab?
