Using FF 12 32-bit in Windows 7 Pro 64-bit cause high mem usage

AVG gave an alert msg saying "detected high memory usage.
256 MB".
It suggest to close and open again.
Also I notice highest page fault.
I didn't do anything, just continue to surf as usual.
I have 4 GB of RAM.
Do I need to be concern about this?
Is there a solution to fix this?
Thanks.

256MB of Ram isn't really "high" (depending on what you are doing). To put it into perspective. You aren't even using a 16th of your available RAM. AVG is a very poor system optimizer and anti-virus, and often provides false positives.
You can try doing things like uninstalling add-ons you don't use: [[Disable or remove Add-ons]]
Update your graphics Driver: [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Install all Windows Updates, and then test again.
How many tabs and what were you doing when you received this alert? Did Firefox continue to run normally?
You can view at any time how much memory Firefox is using by typing about:memory into the address bar.

Mixer window can cause high CPU usage, crashes

This is probably one of the weirdest bugs I've seen for a while. Here are the steps that I reproduce it for me, maybe someone will want to try this out and see if they get the same.
1) Open an Empty Project template.
2) Create 16 instrument tracks when it gives you the dialog. (even 1 will be enough, but the effect is clearer the more tracks you create)
3) Open the mixer. Either in a window or in the pane.
4) Now create a "multi-timbral" instrument track with the plus button (use the checkbox there).
5) Select the 16th track, and now select one of the arrange tracks of the multi-timbral instrument.
6) Open up Activity Monitor from your Utilities folder in Finder and see how much Logic is taking up CPU. It should be significantly higher than the idle state. On my MBP it'll be around 80%.
This is not a problem in itself, because when reproducing it like this the high CPU usage goes away when you select another track and won't return if you select the multi-timbral instrument again.
However, I have sessions where this will continue happening with a multi-timbral instrument all the time. Not only that, I've had Logic crash when this starts happening. And this whole thing will slow down the UI considerably when it's active.
The workaround that seems to work for me is simply not keeping the mixer window/pane open.

This is one of the issue which has already been raised to Microsoft and hopefully a public build will be available soon in next cumulative update pack .
There are variety of reason for this starting for password mismatch or password not given , SFTP adapter unable to connect and so on .
There is good post here in below link for this issue
http://thoughtsofmarcus.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/leaving-password-blank-in-biztalk-2013.html
Another greate artcicle is by Nino which states these issues .SFTP adapter is protocol sensitive and some configuration by server side, can cause a lot of crazy situations

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Random High CPU Usage 80%-100% @ idle

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate and my specs are AMD Phenom 9550 Quad-Core Processor 2.20 GHz with 6.00 GB RAM. The computer randomly spikes up to 80%+ and usually higher than that and the computer runs really slow. Ived tried checking for spyware, or anything and nothing is found. This happens at idle and during normal activity. Restarting usually solves the issue but sometimes it doesnt. CPU isnt running hot at all, the drivers installed are that of Windows 7 installing at the clean install. I used process Explorer and found out it is:
CPU
15.6-20.10 Hardware Interrupts
52.0-65.00 Deferred Procedure Calls
This is what is making my usage so high, even makes my idle @ 25 and this is when nothing is running. Normal idle is from 0%-10% max but normal is like 6% and computer was perfect with Vista. Upgraded about 4 days ago.
Here is a screen shot.

Hi Mike,
Yes, you can try Mark's suggestion as I noticed the similar issue regarding SPC was resolved by the hotfix.
In other case, you can also try the following steps to narrow down the root cause:
Test in Safe Mode:
Restart the computer and start pressing the F8 key on the keyboard. On a computer that is configured to boot multiple Operating Systems, press the F8 key when you see the boot menu. When the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, select Safe Mode, and then press Enter. Log onto Windows by using the Administrator account or any user account with Administrator privileges.
If issue disappear in Safe Mode, narrow down in Device Clean boot:
Clean Boot
=============
This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service.
1. Click "Start",and type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in the open box to start the System Configuration Utility.
2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".
4. Click "OK" to restart your computer to Selective Startup environment.
5. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK.
6. Check whether or not the issue still appears in this environment.

Fatal error and blue screen using iTune 6.05.20 under Window XP pro

I just downloaded and upgraded my iTune to 6.05.20 and having serious problems which I can't even play a song for more than 5 sec. If I click PLAY, my computer will hang and display a quick blue screen(too quick I can't get the exact error)then restarts. I can't find the older version I had anywhere, so any help please.
Im using Creative Audigy2 ZS pro. never had a problem with iTune untill this version.

we can also try using the following technique to slow down that flash of a blue screen, to try to get some more information from it:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
what text and numerical codes do you see? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if the blue screen cites a specific file, also let us know what it's called. precise spelling and filename extension, please.

I have a new PC and I am getting the message "The iTunes Library File cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." I am the only one using this PC and I have Windows 7 Pro and have an administrator account. Help

Can anyone help me with this problem. ITunes message," The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." I have administrator account and transferred files from old PC. I downloaded new iTunes program on new PC. I synced my iPhone to new PC, no problem. I deleted old account after indicating shared files to new admin account. Can anyone help?

A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them!

Bootcamp and windows 8 Pro

Has anyone had a problem with the wireless Apple keyboard and mouse when using Bootcamp? I am running Windows 8 Pro. I have done a bootcamp software update after installing Mountain Lion on the OS X side and reinstalling Windows 8 Pro. My keyboard and mouse work fine on the OS X side and on the password page to Windows, but once on the desktop, NOTHING! Microsoft says they cannot help me at all and Apple has been very patient about trying to find a fix. All software is updated and all devices are working properly, according to the messages. I can hear "clicking" from the desktop speakers when trying to type using Word, so I would think that they keyboard is being recognized. I am NOT a super computer person, so I have no clue as to what the problem can be. I am just looking to see if anyone out there has seen this problem.

Windows 8 Pro? Not with BootCamp.
Depending on your computer’s hardware and OS X version, Boot Camp supports Microsoft Windows Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. For more details, see Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows. For information about using 64-bit editions of Windows, see this article.

Can install Windows 7 Pro, but not Boot Camp drivers

I have used Boot Camp assistant to install Windows 7 Pro (64 bit), and built the USB drive with Boot Camp drivers.
Installed on a separate drive on my Mac Pro.
When I install the drivers and reboot, I get an error. Basically Windows says there is an error and it needs to run System Restore in order to roll back to the previous status (ie. remove Boot Camp drivers).
I am using the latest Boot Camp drivers for a Mac Pro (4,1) and 64 bit Windows.
I tried downloading the drivers from Apple's website in Windows, unzipped and installed - same issue.
Windows is not yet registered.... (might that be an issue?)
Grateful for some ideas. I have previously had Win7 running on this machine, and even Win 8 (which crashed - necessitating a roll back to Win 7 whcih is nicer).
TIA

the drivers have a root setup.exe if people have problems with that they can manually navigate to the sub dirs and run the driver installs for the various hardware manually
the various driver exe install will only install if they detect the hardware is there so it's safe to run installers for say a video card ones computer does not have
and if one of the driver don't work of the hardware related to it is defect in some way you can identify which one as the restore would happen right over that driver install
that windows is not registered should not play apart as far as I know

Yoga 13, Windows 8 Pro, Single-Click sometimes results in Double-Click

I'm using a brand new Yoga 13 (Window 8 Pro). Clicking on the touchpad (not the touch screen) sometimes has issues. Specifically, every once in a while, a single-click on the touchpad will result in double-click behavior.
I'm not referring to tapping, but rather physical clicking (press, depress touchpad on the lower left).
I disabled tap-to-click in case it was registering the tap, and then the click. That didn't resolve the issue.
I also increased the speed required (within Windows) for a double-click to the fastest (least time between clicks) possible. That also didn't resolve the issue.
It really seems like the touchpad, every once in a while, registers a double-click, like some sort of physical defect in the touchpad that presses, depresses, presses depresses immediately.
Ideas?

I'm running Windows 8 (Not Pro) on a brand new Yoga 13 and am experiencing the same probem. It doesnt happen all the time but just enough to be really annoying. It seems like if I try right clicking I can get it to stop.

[SOLVED] qemu-kvm high cpu usage when using pulseaudio alsa-plugin

My Arch system is configured to use pulseaudio. When an application connects to the sound server it will use either a native pulseaudio driver, or the pulseaudio alsa-plugin if it using a alsa driver.
qemu-kvm in 'extra' is not compiled with native pulseaudio support. When running guests with sound hardware support, qemu-kvm connects to the sound server using the pulseaudio alsa-plugin.
The problem I'm seeing is high cpu usage on the Arch host even though cpu usage on the guest is low. Also, the guest is often unresponsive for a period of time when opening sound applications like the mixer or playing audio.
My solution is to recompile qemu-kvm with native pulseaudio support. This eliminates the use of the pulseaudio alsa-plugin on the Arch host and fixes the above problems.
An easy was to do this is run:
yaourt -S qemu-kvm --build
And edit the PKGBUILD changing the line:
--audio-drv-list=alsa,sdl,oss,esd \
To:
--audio-drv-list=pa,alsa,sdl,oss,esd \
Finish building and install. Don't forget to add yourself to the kvm group.

I am using Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit on a brand new PC, and cannot connect to the iTunes store using iTunes version 10. HELP!!

Ok, so after purchasing a new computer, with windows 7 pro, 64 bit, I tried downloading the newest iTunes, which at the time was 10.2.1 (i believe). After installation, everything seemed to work, except that iTunes was unable to securely connect to the internet, use home sharing, or validate my computer.
As troubleshooting, I first ran msconfig, and then turned OFF all programs that boot at start up EXCEPT itunes and quicktime. After a restart, i opened itunes again, and got the same result. That led me to believe that iTunes was NOT being blocked by another program on my machine. I am currently running itunes 10.7 successfully on a Windows 7 32 machine at work. Anyhow, for grins, I tried to install version 9 on the new computer, and it installed perfectly, and immediately connected to the itunes store, leading me to believe that there is nothing wrong with my software configuration (not sure if this is a safe assumption or not). I then tried to let iTunes update itself using the automated update function. It tried to update itself to the most current version, then 10.6. Again, iTunes was unable to connect to the iTunes store. I HAVE tried disabling the anti-virus software (AVG), but that made no difference.
I have since gone back and reinstalled iTunes 9. Here's the catch though. When I reinstalled using version 9, I had to redo all my library files. I'm about 1/2 way through my CD's, and now have a substantial library file going. The last time I let iTunes update itself to 10.6, once I realized that it was not going to connect to the store, I uninstalled iTunes, and reinstalled ver. 9. However, when I did this, it told me it could no longer open the library file, because it was a newer .itl or .xml (i believe it was one of those two extensions) library file. At that point, I basically started everything over again, using version 9, and have been importing CD's like a madman at night.
Here are my questions:
1) Is there a way to make a copy of the files that store my library info, so that if my upgrade to ver 10 IS NOT SUCCESSFUL, I can restore ver 9, but still have all of the album art work, playlists (when I import music, I create a playlist with the artists' name, and store things that way), etc. in tact?
2) What else can I try (firewall settings, internet options, etc.) to try and get version to to successfully install? I would really like to get all the benfits of the newer versions.
3) When I tried to get apple tech support before, they wanted me to pay a ridiculous 69$ fee for phone support. I just bought an iphone 5....this should entitle me to a fresh 90 days of phone support, right? The reason I ask here is that I could hardly understand the "tech" that answered the phone when I called for tech support last time, and to be honest, it really ****** me off that they wanted to try and milk me for another 69 bucks....I've purchased every iPhone since the 3Gs came out (pre-ordered at that), and have nearly gone broke purchasing music from their iTunes store....heck, maybe they're doing me me a favor not letting me into the store, huh?
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated,
-Brian

Many thanks.

Windows 7 Pro 64-bit to be used as a terminal server

Hello,
I'm looking at using a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit PC as a Terminal Server using an application such, as ThinStuff XP/VS (www.thinstuff.com), to manage the RDP connections. Based on everything I've read, it looks like there's no Terminal Server CALs available
for purchase through MicroSoft, so is there a need to worry about licensing? Each PC that connects will have it's own Windows 7 Pro valid license and, of course, the PC to be used is also valid. Are there any licensing concerns I should have?
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
To set up a terminal server, I suggest to set up a windows server system, Since Windows 7 is a client operating system and I do not suggest to use a third part software to modify its roles, especially the role or function related to the license. As for your
license concern, you can refer to the license agreement below Select your product name, version and language:

Scanning with an HP 3390 all-in one laser jet printer using Windows 7 pro (64 bit)

I have recently acquired a Dell Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) OS computer and was wanting to use my HP all-in-one laser jet 3390 printer and scanner. The printer software which came with my HP 3390 will work with my Wind 7 Pro OS computer, however my HP 3390 scanner function will not work using this HP driver software, with my Win 7 Pro OS. I am trying to locate the appropriate HP scanner and/or different printer drivers that will support both the printer AND scanner functions of my HP 3390 printer/scanner, while using my Windows 7 Pro OS computer. Within the HP website, I have not been able to find this type of driver software or support, as least listed as such? I was wondering, if there are maybe no dedicated or described scanner drivers for my situation, is there even another set of drivers which might be intended for other Window 7 Pro OS based computers and other HP printer/scanners, which would work for my situation as well? Does anyone have a solution to resolve this issue via HP driver software or by another method...maybe even 3rd party? Ther has to be a solution?

I have a Windows 7 Pro OEM disk that can install either the 32 or 64 bit version. When using version 5.0.3 of Bootcamp, I keep getting the message that it is a 32 bit disk. Any ideas how to get it to recognize the 64 bit version?

I have a Windows 7 Pro OEM disk that can install either the 32 bit or 64 bit versions. When trying to setup a dual boot for my Mac Mini using Bootcamp version 5.0.3, I get the message that I have the 32 bit version of Windows. Any ideas on how I can get it to recognize the 64 bit version so that I can partition my "Mini"?

If by "OEM" you mean the disk came with another Win computer, it won't work. You need either a full retail verison or the "System Builders' Edition." I used the latter for my BC installation and it worked flawlessly and was marked as 64-bit--no mention of 32-bit.

Is it possible to Install Windows 8 Pro 64-bit on a secondary hard dive in Mac Mini (Late 2012) using Boot Camp 5?

Hello,
I have a Mac Mini (Late 2012) running on OS X 10.8.3 and would like to install Windows 8 Pro on a secondary hard drive using Boot Camp 5. Is that really possible?
A little background about the topic under discussion.
1. Mac Mini (Late 2012) has a place holder to accomodate an additional hard drive (2.5") under the hood
2. If just plugged with one, it would show as an additional volume in the finder
3. Boot Camp 5 supoprts Windows 8 Pro 64-bit installation
The idea is to run two operating systems (1. OS X and 2. Windows 8) on two hard drives in a Mac Mini, with maintainability a constraint.
Have any one tried this out? If so, kindly share if there are any specific procedures apart form the one given in Boot Camp 5 manual.
Thanks in advance.
~ Narey

Gotcha!!
I am done with mounting a secondary HDD (thanks to ifixit) and installing Windows 8 Pro 64 bit on it without a worry. Charm, charm!!
Boot Camp 5 guide prescribes all needed steps and when read and used correctly, installation must be an easy task. And all the existing apple hardwares work so good in the Windows environment too.
I am going to help out a friend of mine in doing a similar thing on his mac too. If you got specific questions, please do shoot up here and i should be able to get a reply to it (if at all).
Thanks everyone.
