What is Windows Presentation Foundation and why is a plugin necessary?

Thank you for your willingness to listen. What is WPF? Does it do something helpful? Foxfire plugin site gives option for its plugin (of unknown origin), thus giving it some legitimacy. But some writing on Google have labeled it as a "sneaky deal" foisted on Foxfire users by Microsoft. I really must avoid crashes. I will link to Google info if you wish. (I'm updating a 256 MB memory-deficient Win XP OS in a 12-year old Compaq. There's no wiggle room to cover mistakes and bad judgments.) Beth

OK, so I have an apple superdrive hooked up to my mini (along with my Passport back up drive).  I also have  the discs for both 64bit and 32bit Windows along with the product key.  I am still not sure what to do when faced with the options after "choose".

  • Windows Presentation Foundation AND BO DESKI

    Hello!
    Could you help us anybody.
    We faced with problem when we created some project used Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF is a graphical subsystem for rendering user interfaces in Windows-based applications) and try to open our application and BO DeskI application simultaneously. The result: when we try to close BO DESKI this application abnormal closed..
    We create test project used Windows Presentation Foundation which include only 2 standard control. And this test very simple application can not work correct with BO DeskI. If need I ready to send Visual Studio 2008 test project.
    We tested this behaviour with BO XI DESKI Release 3.x SP3
    Best regards
    Andrey

    That's interesting - thanks for the greater details.
    It's helpful to rule out possible connections between your application and DeskI.
    You might want to open a support case with SAP, if you need more interactive assistance.   It'll be opened with the DeskI support team, since you're not using any of the SDKs.
    But you may want to run Process Monitor (a tool found on Microsoft's site) to see if there's any file or registry access issues.
    Another useful tool is [modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip], that takes a snapshot of all dlls loaded by a process - to see if there's anything in common between your application and DeskI, and to see if DeskI loads different dlls when your application is running.
    Sincerely,

  • What to do about Microsoft Office 2003, Windows Presentation Foundation & Google Update.

    I am not sure what to do about the following 3 third-party plugins. It appears that the Windows Presentation Foundation plugin "has a major security vulnerability that can be exploited by malicious websites as described in the Firefox Article "How to enable and disable Windows Presentation Foundation." It seems that the easiest way to deal with this plugin is to disable it via the add-ons manager. My question do the other two plugins pose security risks - should I disable them. I have tried to find additional information on all three plugins and cannot seem to ascertain whether they need to be updated or if, in fact, there are updates for these plugins. I am not sure if they are even compatible with Firefox, perhaps they been added to the Mozilla Add-ons block list. At any rate, any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
    The three plugins in question are:
    Microsoft Office 2003 Unkown ? Research Office plugin for Netscape Navigator plugin
    Windows Presentation Foundation Unknown ? Research
    (WPF) plugin for Mozilla Browsers plugin
    Google Update Unknown ? Research
    Google Update
    Thank you in advance.
    GAMKRTWCA

    hello, i have those plugins on my computer too but have always kept them disabled because i'm not exactly sure what functionality they offer - i have never encountered any site that would depend on them or would cause problems without them, so you can likely just disable them without any harm...

  • Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and XAML

    Hi,
    I just saw a high-level presentation about Windows
    Presentation Foundation (WPF) and XAML. I understand that one of
    the advantages to using this new desktop technology is better
    control over image resolution. I'm no techie, but I immediately
    thought of the challenges we Captivate users have of trying to make
    screenshots larger, but having them end up blurry. Will this new
    technology somehow help with this problem? Thanks!
    Trudie

    I wouldn't think so.
    AFAIK, WPF is the XML language that windows will use to
    render the interfaces. Without knowing too much about it I imagine
    that it will build parts/all of the Vista interface with vectors as
    opposed to bitmaps which will work better for a greater number of
    montiors (e.g. check out the windows XP boot splash bitmap on a
    large hi res montior....ewww!). However, this will not make a
    difference to resizing a captured image of the interface.
    For the purposes of this discussion let's say vectors are
    mathematical descriptions of what should be drawn (shape, outline,
    fill, gradient, etc) while bitmaps are images with a fixed number
    individually coloured of pixels/dots.
    Screenshots images are generally captured in a bitmap format.
    When you attempt to increase the overall dimensions of the image
    your image processing software makes a guess as to what color each
    pixel/dot must be in the resized image based on a sample from the
    original image and that's why they tend to look blurry. The better
    your software can guess/resample, then the better the resulting
    image.

  • How can I trust Firefox as a reliable web browser when you allow companys like Microsoft install plugins like Windows Presentation Foundation with out permissio

    Microsoft had installed Windows Presentation Foundation without my permission and I smoking mad. This is bull crap I don't need. My web browser is personal to me and when companies stick their dirty little fingers in my computer without my permission it really PISS ME OFF. I don't kneed a web browser that allows this CRAP!!!!!

    Hi,
    The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
    If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link]. (You'll need to be on the latest version of Firefox to submit feedback). Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.
    Sorry!

  • Whats the maximum length array and why?

    Whats the maximum length array and why?
    I tryed to search the forum but most people was wondering about the maximun length of a String..

    for(int i =20;i<=32;i++) {
         try {
              int[] p = new int[(int)Math.pow(2,i)];
              pause(2000); // So that gc doesn't clean away the array before
                              // The OS memory manager gets to update.
              System.out.println("Paused! i: " + i);
         } catch(OutOfMemoryError e) {
              System.out.println("Ex!!");
              pause(10000); // Same sa before.
    void pause(int p) {
         try {
              Thread.sleep(p);
         } catch (Exception e) {}
    }I worte this little code to test this.

  • What is better to use and why?

    Hi,
    What is better to use and why?
    We have written follwing statements to check the existence of interested record in table.
    1).
    select count(*) from emp where deptno = 20;
    2).
    select 'X'
    from dual
    where exists (
    select 'X' from emp
    where deptno = 20);
    Thanks and Regards,
    Rushang Kansara

    Assuming a large table, number two would be the fastest. If empno in unique, you can leave out the where exists part and just select x from emp where empno = 20. If empno is not unique, then using where exists can be faster. Assuming that empno is not unique, query 1 may elect to scan the whole table looking for that empno. Number 2 can use the index and return your result in, typically, three LIOs.
    Again, it all depends on your indexing, size of tables, and uniqueness of key upon which you are searching.

  • What is your favorite transaction and why?

    Just wondering what your secret tools are... Willing to share? Transactions you use all the time, and without them you would be, uh, toast...
    My favorite one is SE84 Repository Information System. I use it regularly to find objects in repository, like database tables, views, table fields, function groups, function modules, programs, logical databases, message classes, message number, SET/GET parameters, transactions, variants, screens, business add-ins, customer exits, change requests and authorizations.
    A useful hint: You can also search by application hierarcy. For example, in 4.6c to find customer exits within MM, do as follows:
    1. Start SE81
    2. Select subtree MM with F9
    3. Click Information system. SE84 is displayed.
    4. Click Envir. and then Exit techniques and then Customer exits. Click enhancements. A search screen is displayed and development class field is pre-filled.
    5. Press F8
    What is your favorite transaction and why?
    Regards,
    Jarmo Tuominen

    clearly SE80.
    Starting 4.7 you have a button on top of the tree navigation where you can click the information system.
    So you have (at least) three transactions in one: SE80, se84(85 and SE38.
    I wonder why still some people prefer SE38. It's just SE80 minus functionality and overview plus wasted screen space.
    Is there any existing function you can execute from SE38 that is not available in SE38? A lot the other way round.

  • Informal Poll - What is your fav distro and why.

    I am curious as to what version of Linux is prefered and why.  I have been using OpenSUSE for my desktops and Ubuntu for servers for the last few years and would be interested to see what others favor and why...
    I have six computers all running Linux:
    Workshop Bench (forensic tools, disk drive tools and software recovery tools) - OpenSUSE (KDE) 13.2 tumbleweed.  Intel Core2Quad 8800
    Home Server (Cloud service, Print Server, Backup Server, Media Server) - OpenSUSE (KDE) 13.2 tumbleweed.  Intel i3 2350
    Web Server (Public Webserver, Cloud and Scheduling) - Ubnutu (hardened) 14.01 LTS AMD A6
    Three loaner computers, all AMD A6 based machines - Linux Mint 17.1
    So far the least troublesome have been Ubuntu / Mint computers.  OpenSUSE seems to be the best KDE platform but I may need to switch to the stable release tree when the next iteration is released.  Linux Mint is the most user freindly of the Debian crowd, with good feedback on all counts.  The Ubuntu desktop was not well recieved, most thought it was just too "ugly" to be useable.
    I am dual booting my G580 between Windows 8.1 (factory OS) and Mint at the moment.  As a point of interest - my gaming computer and my better half's computer both run Windows 7 at the moment.  Will not be moving to Windows 10, mostlikely to Mint.

    That has an interesting look / feel to it.  I am just looking into running Mint on an older notebook to see if it would be a good alternative OS for my clients that do not want to migrate to Windows 8/8.1/10 and the metro desktop.

  • What is a PRAM reset and why did I have to do it ?

    My very new (4 days) 20" Aluminium iMac was getting quite noisy, so much so that I called for support today.
    The Apple tech explained how to do a 'P.RAM' reset, which in fairness does seem to have resolved the issue. (something to do with a FAN, I think).
    I would like to know more about the causes of this, and why would I have to do it a such a new machine ?
    Is there something wrong with my machine ? What are the chances I wil have to do this again ?
    Thanks....

    All, thank you for your time and valuable information. I am relieved that nothing is wrong with my system, but I must say that I find it is a little odd that a user has to do take these steps after making hardware or software changes to the system. I would expect this to be done as part of the install routines. Perhaps that is why other (you know who) systems need rebooting after most hardware or software changes.
    I know Apple like to be seen as the machines where such things are not required, but clearly they are !
    Thanks again.

    I can't. It comes up with another error every time I try. Also, all of my other Adobe Products work fine, so I'm curious about how this is just becoming an issue now. From what I can tell, it is installed on my computer -- it's just hidden and/or blocked from working. It is harder than hell to find.
