HT3986 can I use the windows 7 UPGRADE version for this?

I'm thinking about installing Windows 7 to use with Boot Camp .... can I use an Upgrade version of Windows?

As the hatter said, you CAN use the Upgrade version of Windows 7. Here's more details:
Install Windows 7 normally, using Boot Camp and your Win 7 Upgrade disk. Use the "Custom (Advanced)" option.
When it asks you to enter your product key / license, don't enter anything -- just hit Next. This will allow you to continue installing Windows with a 30-day trial.
After you've installed Windows 7, stay in Windows (don't boot to OSX) and put your Win 7 Upgrade disk back in the drive, and run the Setup file that's on the disk.
This will guide you through the upgrade process. This time, instead of Custom, use the "Upgrade" option.
When it asks you, go ahead and type in your product key, and choose to Activate.
However, please note that if you do this, and you DON'T already own a previous version of Windows (and stop using that previous version immediately), you'll be violating the software license agreement. These are the requirements to use the Upgrade version. If you don't meet these requirements, I strongly recommend you install with a full version of Windows 7.

ITunes will not open and tells me to use the "information" to open in 32 bit rather than 64. but the information pane does not offer that option ...

I am trying to open my iTune 10.4 on my mac mini which is running OS 10.6.8, and I get the message that I need to use the information pane to open in 32-bit rather than 64. But the information pane does not offer this option. I'm in a vicious circle of opening, getting this message, then having to close. Did this come about after the June update of iTunes? And if so, why haven't they fixed it? And what can I do? You'd think Apple would want be to be able to spend my money in their store ...

Try following steps and test one at a time:
1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

I am a new Indesign user and a Creative Cloud member. I was using the Window/Pages drop down window to view my pages alphabetically or by page number and also to determine whether or not my JPEG files were sufficiently HI-Res for the printer. I don't know how I did it but somehow the window has changed so that now it does not have the alphabetical/numerical/Hi-Res information. It just shows the pages in a two page spread in numerical order. How can I restore the window so that I will be able to view the information as I did previously.
Your help will be appreciated,

The pages panel is not the place where you see this information. You can customize the Links panel to show all sorts of things, including the page number, effective and actual ppi, and whether the link is OK or needs updating.

Thinking about using the Windows Event Logs as my main log store - looking for pros and cons

I have been writing some larger scripts that write to physical log files. Until today I have avoided trying to use the Windows Event logs, but, am beginning to rethink this and wondered if anyone has done this, and, what the strengths and weaknesses
of this logging approach has been. If I do it, I will probably write a function that accepts pipelined input and simply pass output to the log. I wanted to get a feel for what I would be getting into before I started writing things up since this
will probably take a little bit of work to get set up to run properly.

At my company we use the Windows event log for many of our batch process logging for several reasons:
Unlike logging to a central database, the Windows event log is always available. I've seen poorly thought out logging solution which log to a database and if the database happens to be unavailable the batch process would fail.
Monitoring tool such as SCOM already have Windows event log watchers so adding alerts to take action based on message written to the Windows event log is easy
Built-in support for writing Windows event log entries in the Powershell V2 write-eventlog cmdlet, a simple CLR can created in SQL Server or even command-line eventcreate.exe
Easy to create a custom event log so you don't have to use the default application log in Windows 2008 and higher.
Most shrink-wrap S/W already use the event log
Issues I've seen:
Windows 2008 with UAC on requires "registering" i.e. creating a new event log source with UAC. This can be done one time manually. Unfortunately there isn't a way to automate UAC--pure GUI. The Powershell command would be "New-EventLog -LogName Application
-Source mysource" if you're using the Application log and must be run as administrator.
Errant process writes many entries to the event log. Depending on the volume like for example writing stack dumps this can performance problems. I think I recall an issue an Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 with UAC off if you're creating a new
event log source each time (which you shouldn't) then these results in many registry entries which can cause problems.
I don't think the issues outweigh the benefits--just something to be aware of.

For someone who can't use the windows installer cleanup utility.

I have been an iTunes user for years and have usually updated to the newest version whenever prompted and have had very little trouble with the program despite always using PCs. However, I recently purchased an iPhone which is fun, but requires the newest iTunes.
I tried to install the new version and received a message which many people have, which said "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."
I searched online and found the solution that said to use the Windows Cleanup Utility or whatever, however, my computer barred me from doing this for some reason. Even when I manually attempted to register with the Command Prompt window, I was unable to get the program to work. I tried to fix THIS part, but received another error message which directed me to format my computer, which I am unwilling to do at this time. I don't even want to lose my library but I'm kind of resigned to that at this time.
So what I'm asking is, is there any other way to get this sorted out without the utility package? Any way to direct my computer to where itunes.msi would be on my computer? Is there anyway to fix this, seeing as it seems to be a recurring problem in the installation of this version? Thank you.

+it's essentially telling me I'm not the administrator when not only am I, but I'm the ONLY user on this computer+
Your sig says XPS. I assume that means XP. Your permissions must be corrupt in the registry, even though you are on an admin account. I got this same error when I upgraded my laptop to XP SP3. I had to run a tool from microsoft to fix it.
Scroll down to the advanced troubleshooting section on this page and run the subinacl stuff. I went and watched a movie while it ran - just be patient.

I am interpreting that to say that the detail panel is missing your develop module. If that is the case, right-click on one of the other panel headings and make sure there is a checkmark for detail.

Set a timeout for crystal sessions while using the Windows.Forms.Viewer?

Hi,
I am looking for a way to set the timeout for the crystal report sessions when using the Windows.Forms.Viewer in a .NET application. I guess that the default value is 20 minutes (like in the entperprise installations) but we cannot afford to keep many sessions open for that long. Is there a registry entry which can be set? Or even a way to do this programmatically?
Thank you in advance,
Stratos

Hi David,
we are talking here about a standalone .NET application where the reports are installed locally (like the application itself). We are not retrieving the reports from a server. The whole thing was developed using the crystal report viewer model probably because it was easier to do so. Is there a method in this model to tell the crystal runtime to do the clean-up work either for a report (like the ReportDocument.Close() ) or for the entire runtime instance. Dispose() does not seem to help us. If you say that there is no other way than redesign then we have to consider this option also.
Cheers
Stratos
PS: What I was thinking of (as Plan B instead of using the ReportDocument object model) is to instantiate the crystal report viewer object in a separate process (.exe). Please note that we open a new crystal report viewer windows for each report, which is displayed. Closing the viewer window (ie. terminate the process) will at least then clean up and release the crystal DLLs and hopefully close the database connections. Or am I missing something here?

How to use the windows key (super or hiper) as a keystroke modifier?

I can associate the windows key (KeyEvent.VK_WINDOWS) as a regular key on a KeyStroke without problem.
It can be alone or with a modifier, like CTRL+WIN
KeyStroke.getKeyStroke( KeyEvent.VK_WINDOWS, InputEvent.CTRL_DOWN_MASK )My doubt is: Is there a way to use it as a modifier?
In other words, is it possible to create the KeyStroke using the windows key with any other? e.g. "WIN+K"
Thanks,
Henrique Abreu

Thanks a lot for the quick answer.
Your KeyboardCommands class doesn't do it (but gives the idea), because it can only trigger an action on one key (like KeyStroke, that handles key+modifier).
I could make big changes on it to add the functionality of triggering an event on a combination of keys, which would solve my problem.
Although this solution is not so good because we totally give up of actions in Swing, which I mean stuff like actionMaps, InputMaps WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT, etc.
If KeyStroke class really doesn't provide this (unbelievable!), I wonder if there is a way to extend and enhance it? (or AWTKeyStroke)
Can anyone say if its possible, before I go deep and find out that it isn't?
Another secondary question (that I think doesn't worth a new topic), what's the META_DOWN_MASK or META_MASK? or where is this key?

Can i use technical system type 'third party' for r3 system in idoc2file sc

Hi,
i am doing a sample out bound scenario (idoc 2 file), distributing idoc from sap system to csv file (in same network). in this can i use thchnical system type 'third party' for R3 system. will the scenario work properly or not.
And some times some of the business systems in SLD are not visible in ID, when assigning business system in ID.can any one tell reason for this.
can any one suggest me,........ Thanks in advance & would be appreciated.
Regards
Rajesh

Hi,
<i> can i use thchnical system type 'third party' for R3 system. will the scenario work properly or not.</i>
--- No u can't use this...Ur technical system must be "WebAS ABAP" only. For file system you use 3rd party system. means ur technical system like follows.
sender
R/3 -- WebAs ABAP
Receiver
File - 3 rd pary system
<i>And some times some of the business systems in SLD are not visible in ID, when assigning business system in ID.can any one tell reason for this.</i>
Click "Clear SLD cache" repeatly for some time in ID, it will come.

Whoa, I found the answer by clicking on one of the questions in the "More Like This" box to the right. I do wonder how to find that box before posting my dumb question. The answer turned out to be checking the youtube volume control. I turned that up and it solved the problem for Comast as well.

0x8007000e (E_OUTOFMEMORY) while adding a firewall rule using the windows firewall COM API

Hello,
Configuration: Windows Embedded 8 64-bit.
I'm using the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security COM API. The program uses the INetFwRules interface. Basically, I'm using the following code (Form the code sample available here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd339604%28v=vs.85%29.aspx.)
I get the error when performing "hr = pFwRules->Add(pFwRule);".
We can also encounter the problem when removing a rule (using pFwRules->Remove(ruleName);)
HRESULT hrComInit = S_OK;
HRESULT hr = S_OK;
INetFwPolicy2 *pNetFwPolicy2 = NULL;
INetFwRules *pFwRules = NULL;
INetFwRule *pFwRule = NULL;
long CurrentProfilesBitMask = 0;
BSTR bstrRuleName = SysAllocString(L"SERVICE_RULE");
BSTR bstrRuleDescription = SysAllocString(L"Allow incoming network traffic to myservice");
BSTR bstrRuleGroup = SysAllocString(L"Sample Rule Group");
BSTR bstrRuleApplication = SysAllocString(L"%systemroot%\\system32\\myservice.exe");
BSTR bstrRuleService = SysAllocString(L"myservicename");
BSTR bstrRuleLPorts = SysAllocString(L"135");
// Initialize COM.
hrComInit = CoInitializeEx(
0,
COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED
// Ignore RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE; this just means that COM has already been
// initialized with a different mode. Since we don't care what the mode is,
// we'll just use the existing mode.
if (hrComInit != RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE)
if (FAILED(hrComInit))
printf("CoInitializeEx failed: 0x%08lx\n", hrComInit);
goto Cleanup;
// Retrieve INetFwPolicy2
hr = WFCOMInitialize(&pNetFwPolicy2);
if (FAILED(hr))
goto Cleanup;
// Retrieve INetFwRules
hr = pNetFwPolicy2->get_Rules(&pFwRules);
if (FAILED(hr))
printf("get_Rules failed: 0x%08lx\n", hr);
goto Cleanup;
// Create a new Firewall Rule object.
hr = CoCreateInstance(
__uuidof(NetFwRule),
NULL,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
__uuidof(INetFwRule),
(void**)&pFwRule);
if (FAILED(hr))
printf("CoCreateInstance for Firewall Rule failed: 0x%08lx\n", hr);
goto Cleanup;
// Populate the Firewall Rule object
pFwRule->put_Name(bstrRuleName);
pFwRule->put_Description(bstrRuleDescription);
pFwRule->put_ApplicationName(bstrRuleApplication);
pFwRule->put_ServiceName(bstrRuleService);
pFwRule->put_Protocol(NET_FW_IP_PROTOCOL_TCP);
pFwRule->put_LocalPorts(bstrRuleLPorts);
pFwRule->put_Grouping(bstrRuleGroup);
pFwRule->put_Profiles(CurrentProfilesBitMask);
pFwRule->put_Action(NET_FW_ACTION_ALLOW);
pFwRule->put_Enabled(VARIANT_TRUE);
// Add the Firewall Rule
hr = pFwRules->Add(pFwRule);
if (FAILED(hr))
printf("Firewall Rule Add failed: 0x%08lx\n", hr);
goto Cleanup;
This works pretty well but, sometimes, at system startup, adding a rule ends up with the error 0x8007000e (E_OUTOFMEMORY) ! At startup, the system is always loaded cause several applications starts at the same time. But nothing abnormal. This is quite a random
issue.
According MSDN documentation, this error indicates that the system "failed to allocate the necessary memory".
I'm not convinced that we ran out of memory.
Has someone experienced such an issue? How to avoid this?
Thank you in advance.
Regards, -Ruben-

Does Windows 8 desktop have the same issue? Are you building a custom WE8S image, or are you using a full WE8S image? The reason I ask is to make sure you have the modules in the image to support the operation.
Is Windows Embedded 8.1 industry an option?

How to capture the different sold-to party for a single WBS Element

Hello,
The client wants to automatically populate the Partner field in the WBSE. The Sold-to party that is indicated in the Sales Order will be the same with the Partner Field in the WBSE. I would like to ask regarding on how can we capture the different sold-to party for a single wbs element, since in our project there is a system constraint where it is not possible to have multiple u2018sold tou2019 rows assigned to partner field in the WBSE.
Hoping for your suggestions and comments. Thanks in advance.

Try using the Customer Enhancement

I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

The top screenshot is the Windows Open dialog box. All File > Open... commands in all Windows programs bring it up. Try File > Open in Notepad for example.
It belongs to Windows not Adobe. You cannot change this because there is no such thing as an Adobe Open dialog box.
The bottom screenshot is Windows Explorer. It is Windows' OS File Browser, not an Open dialog. It is not called up by Photoshop or any Windows program.
You have to click on "My Computer" or a Folder icon to get to it. You can double-click a psd, jpeg or other image file in the Explorer window so that it opens in Photoshop.
There is Adobe Bridge and Minibridge Alt + Ctrl + O or File > Browse in Bridge
