Why was nVidia nView Desktop Manager Removed?

I recently used Windows Update to upgrade the video driver for my nVidia Quadro FX 880M graphics card for my Thinkpad W510 (Windows 7, 64-bit) . The new version is 9.18.13.1100, which is the same version listed as current at the Lenovo web site. However, the release history for the video driver includes this:
<8.17.12.5738 / 1.0.15.0>
- [Important]
Removed nView Desktop Manager application from this package. Refer to
the Notes section for more information.
The notes say:
- nView Desktop Manager application was removed from this package. In order to
remove the application from your computer, it has to be manually uninstalled.
It is recommended to remove the application before updating to this driver.
I have nView Desktop Manager version 136.53 installed on my machine. It seems to be working fine, but I'm concerned that there may be issues I don't know about. Does anybody have any insight into why nView DM was removed from the video driver distribution some versions back? Should I remove nView DM, or should I keep it installed and hope for the best? It has some features I find useful on my multiple-monitor display setup.
Thanks.

NView DM also interferes (somewhat) with my Habu mouse.

NVIDIA nView Desktop Manager

I have been trying and failing to run LR1.0 for the last week, playing with everything I could find in this forum. Total failure - LR froze within minutes every time I tried to run it. Reloaded LR - changed the library - etc etc.
Finally spotted a comment in LR Extra FAQ - Compatibility Issues. "Unconfirmed at present - NVidia's NView Desktop Manager may cause problems with Lightroom"
So I disabled NView Desktop Manager and voila! - LR now runs - perfectly as far as I can tell so far - but I haven't done any real work yet.
OK OK maybe I should have spotted that tip in LR Extra earlier (don't know how long its been there). But if you're having problems with LR and have NView Desktop Manager running, try disabling it.
Windows XP, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz, 2GB (now without NView Desktop Manager!)
Hope this helps someone, Nigel

Incompatible with NVidia NView Desktop Manager

Lightroom doesn't work with that software. The manager came preinstalled on my HP desktop. I had trouble getting lightroom to work properly, it would lock up when I tried to use the Develop module.
After much hair tearing I noticed a cryptic message from the NVidia software (while I was uninstalling Lightroom yet again!) I turned off the Desktop Manager feature of my NVidia software and voila! everything works perfectly now!
This was a very frustrating problem. Perhaps it could be added in the FAQs or something.

I use dual monitors.
The features that the desktop manager provides me are;
1) Ability to put different wall papers on each monitor.
2) Ability to "throw" applications from one monitor to the other with one mouse click. This is a very, very important feature.
As an example, when I open explorer, it will generally pop up on one window. Open another window: Pops up in the same place. As opposed to hitting "restore", then dragging across, then maximizing, Nview allows me to hit one button and BAM, the app that was maximized on one monitor is now maximized on the other.
Somewhere is a button that allows me to swap "primary" monitors. . This is important for games that run in "one monitor maximized" configuration. Some games like my widescreen; Some like my standard CRT. :) I have not done this since V1.0 lightroom came out. -> can't remember if that was a desktop manager function or part of the base driver options.

Nview Desktop Manager NVkeystone Boot Camp

So I have installed Boot Camp, and Windows XP service pack 2. I installed the drivers that boot camp give and windows is running great. The problem I am having is enabling the NVKeystone feature inside the Nview Desktop manager - tool's tab. Its greyed out so I can't even enable it. I meet all the requirements for it and have a PC that uses it so I know how it works and everything. I just can't get it to enable. I have even tried the Nvidia drivers with the modded INFs from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
And those work well as drivers, but I get the same problem where the NVkeystone is greyed out.
So I have talked with Nvidia and they are telling me to talk with the Laptop provider which is Apple, and here is what I am hoping for.
A solution. Maybe someone has experience this and solved it themselves, or maybe apple has new drivers for the video card on WinXp, or maybe Apple is working on get the Keystone feature working. Please any info is helpful.
I have searched the web and found not much.

Turns out Nvidia stopped making the NV keystone driver for the 8 series. They did make the driver for the 7 series just stopped at the 8. Anyway maybe Apple will come up with some sweet software that lets me correct trapezoidal keystoning. As for until then, I am going to be trying to make my 8 series card think it is a 7 series in a hope to getting the keystone driver working.

Why was my user downloaded artwork removed after upgrade?

Just upgraded to itunes 10.4. I have a huge library and I have alot of artwork that I myself added to many albums. Now I have to do it all over again. I still have the artwork, but I have to associate it all over again. Why does itunes erase the info? Alot of time wasted to add it all over again.

Anyone? My asumption is that iTunes doesn't like when you add album artwork, because I didn't buy it from the iTunes store. Truth is alot of my library are over 500 cd's that I bought throughout my life. I download the artwork that iTunes doesn't find.
So, Can nobody answer me why was it removed after the upgrade?

Why was command-option-click functionality removed. Please bring back.

Can anyone fill me in on this issue.
I used to use command-option-click hundreds of times a day. Cleared out all windows and got me to the application I wanted to use. It is, apparently, gone in Mavericks.
I'd be interested to know why it was removed. I also want it back.
And, I'd llike it brought back with the functionality changes so that the application I make active with the command leaves the "hide" options in the Application pulldown menu active. My one complaint about the shortcut was that it grayed out the "hide" options so I had to click out of the application and back in to use them.
Please, please, I really want the shortcut!
--Kenoli

totally agree- the loss of 'pinch to resize' is a disaster.
It was one of the main reasons i'd use it over powerpoint.
C'mon Apple!

Why was the shopping cart function removed from iTunes??? I loved using it and miss it dearly.

Why was the link button removed from the piano roll?

Why was the LINK (chain) button removed from the piano roll? This makes Logic X useless to me as I can no longer compose or perform new lines based on previous midi performances. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!

I miss that button too and just filled out the LX Feedback form (Menubar -> Logix Pro X-> Feedback) with the following text. Maybe if you guys did the same, we had a chance revive this essetial feature!!!
thanks!
Sebi
Hi there,
it seems as if the Link Button (Yellow chain symbol) has been removed from the piano roll for no reason. In Score View it is still there.
I (and probably more users) absolutely NEED that Button to decouple the content of the piano roll from the selected track/region AND to use multiple piano roll windows with independent content.
- For transscripting (Mute/Solo Audio regions while editing a Midi-Region)
- For arranging. Edit 2 different midi regions both in separate Piano Roll windows
- For recording. "Reading" Drum-Patterns while recording the Bass e.g.
Please bring that button back or explain why it was removed
Best regards,

BB Desktop Manager crashes trying to sync BB 8900 T-Mobile

I work with the tech support for my company's IT department. We are tasked with providing support for any technical issue our users encounter. I am working with one user who is having issues with his BB Desktop Manager crashing out with a generic error whenever he tries to do a sync. Here are some of his details...
He was using BB Desktop Manager 4.3 I think and had a previous model blackberry device. Our organization uses Lotus Notes. He was previously syncing the email with Lotus and the Contacts and Calendar with Outlook. He upgraded phones to the BB 8900 (he is on T-Mobile) and upgraded his BB Desktop Manager to v4.6. When he first ran the setup, he did not tell it to sync the Lotus organizer data. He performed one sync, but nothing came over at all. He then went in and checked the LOTUS ORGANIZER data, but every time he tries to Sync, the BB Desktop Manager sits there for about 45 seconds, then it just closes with a generic error referencing the BlackberryDesktopManager.exe.
When that happens, we can open the Desktop Manager, but the PIN connection shows NONE until he actually unplugs and re-plugs in the phone.
If we try to go into the SYNCHRONIZE section and then hit the button that would normally show the sync settings, we get the same exact type of crash (but it happens almost immediately instead of waiting 45 seconds).
Here is what we have tried to do to fix it. We have completely removed and re-installed the BB Desktop Manager (but we have tried v4.5 and v4.7.) Each time we are uninstalling the software, I made sure to REMOVE USER FILES and then I am also going into the PROGRAM FILES folder and deleting the RESEARCH IN MOTION folder so it shouldn't be keeping any of the files from that folder. We also tried wiping the phone (three times) - twice by putting the PIN in wrong 10 times, and then once by calling T-Mobile and having them walk him through doing it on the phone itself.
We still have the same exact crash at the same exact places on all versions of this software for this model phone. If he had another computer to try it on (that also has Lotus) I would have him try to setup the phone on another PC. Since the phone has been wiped many times, I am thinking its something on the PC thats causing the crash, but I am not sure where to go or what to check next.
We have worked with this guy for a total of over 12 or 13 hours, and we have no idea what to try next. This is baffling many of our technicians trying to figure this out for him.
Does anyone have any clue why it may be doing this, or have any ideas what I can check next? Are there any logs I can collect or upload that may help identify whats going on?
Any help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!

NVidia nView incompatible with AME & PPR (Connecting to Dynamic Link Server timeout)

Figured I'd post this discovery in case others might run into the infamous "Connecting to Dynamic Link Server" when trying Add or Queue a Premiere Pro Sequence using Adobe Media Encoder.
I'm using the Adobe CS6 Suite but from the research I've done over the past three hours, this issue has been prevalent over several versions. In the end, I had to disable the NVidia (333.11) nView Desktop Manager applet which I typically enable so as to leverage the Window Transparency feature. I'm not certain as to what option is causing the tried changing them all.
Here is a summary of the pertinent troubleshooting steps I followed in this journey:
Ensure that "AfterFX" and "Premiere" application shortcut exist in the following file system locations (I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit):
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CS6\32
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink\CS6
Reset Premiere Preferences (ALT + SHIFT)
Reset Media Encoder Preferences (CTRL + ALT + SHIFT)
Cleanup Media Encoder Caches
Cleanup non-present Mass Storage devices Device Manager (requires setting the system environment variable: DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES = 1
Disable Firewall
Remove Apple QuickTime 7.75.80.95
Create a new User Account (Administrator) profile.

THIS IS IT!! This solves all of my problems with dynamic link between Pr, Ae, and AME. THANK YOU!
I too had nView enabled, and once I disabled it, dynamic link is working again. Not sure what it is doing, but it is definitely the source of this issue.

Please help me: Failed 8310 OS update to OS 4.5 via Desktop Manager

Hello BB Community,
As of this morning, I can't use my Blackberry curve 8310......for anything.
My problems started just as I was about to do a routine USB cable sync between my BB and Outlook.
I was informed by Desktop Manager v 4.7 that OS 4.5 is available.
I delayed the sync, and start the update process.
Everything............. except my BB restart and data reload.......... completed flawlessly.
Then a message says the update has failed, & the entire thing halts.
So, I wait a while then pull the USB cable & turn off the BB.
Turn on......the result was hourglass & white screen.
Removed & replaced battery....result was hourglass & white screen.
Restarted PC and connected BB...........result was hourglass & white screen & Desktop Manager does not recognise BB Connection, but Windows XP sees BB media minus folders.
Reinstalled Desktop manager....... still not recognising BB USB connection on the main screen.
Even though I have all the information saved in Outlook, I am getting desperate.
QUESTIONS:
Is there anything I can do to get my BB curve 8310 operational again?
Should I consider reloading an OS?
My phone is unlocked, so not sure if trying to download and reinstall an OS will LOCK the phone.
The unit's previous startup screen used to show a T-Mobile image.
Should I download the UK T-Mobile OS upgrade?
Blessed Regards,
2121311berry

Good luck, this will work... I have done it many times.
Be patient with JLCmder. If it does not work at first, keep trying, I have seen it take 20-25 tries before it "connected".
Try it with and without the battery inserted if you must.

Why do certain apps were not showing up in creative cloud desktop manager

I'm not so sure on why this error message shows up every time I logged in to my computer. Here’s my scenario…
Every time I try to open the Creative Cloud desktop manager and it will not launch as if it’s not working. So I saved a copy of their installer so that I can reinstall it every time I login. Yes EVERY TIME. Once the CC desktop manager shows up, the only app that shows up is LR. But as I check my Control Panel, Photoshop CC, Dreamweaver and Acrobat was installed. However, as I try to launch those three programs, that error above shows up. So my daily routine is to install a software and use it. Then tomorrow, same routine again. I’m doing this process for a month now and I’m getting tired of it as time goes by. Is there a possible solution for this? I’ve tried to uninstall and reinstall it again but having the same loop over and over again. Thanks for the help! I’m using Windows by the way.

It seems that the problem is still there. The usual routine of mine.
First I opened the Creative Cloud desktop launcher and nothing's happening. It's not opening as if it's not installed. So I tried to run the installer again and it pops out and it only shows that Lightroom is the only one installed. As you can see on the photo above, it shows that Dreamweaver, Acrobat, and Photoshop were installed but it's now showing up in my Apps list. I tried to open Photoshop and it requires me to log in to my Adobe account before I can continue using it. Before, I can use it even if I'm not connected to the Internet. But now, there's this sign in page and I need to be logged in to my Adobe account before I can use Photoshop. Is there a possible solution to this?

My desktop Manager font's was turned "boxes"

hallo guys.....anyone can help me?
my desktop Manager font's was turned "boxes"
I have remove it and reinstall, but its not working....and all the font turned "boxes" .

I have helped others with this before. It is usually due to Desktop Manager requiring a font you do not have installed on your computer.

Desktop Manager Updated to ver. 5.0 - why is Device Manager tray icon "exit" greyed out?

Just updated to Desktop Manager 5.0
Blackberry Device Manager 4.7.1.11
BBDevMgr 4.1.0.11
Rim USB Driver 4.1.0.4
Rim USB Serial Driver 2.2.0.3
Before with previous version Device Manager tray icon would go away after disconnecting BB.
Now Device Manager tray icon does not go away after disconnecting BB and when right-clicking on it "exit" is greyed out - what's up with that? Is this by design? Why can't I get rid of the tray icon when disconnected?
JSD

Here's something bizarre. I have also been syncing contacts, calendars and tasks for a long time with my Storm. After downloading the Desktop 7.0 I also saw the Calendar as not available. I don't particularly remember seeing Memo as an option but I also selected it this time around as I was going through the old reload the os, restore, etc. Anyway I did a test adding an appointment to my Outlook calendar then ran the sync for contacts, tasks and memos and amazingly it shows on my Storm's calendar. Not sure how comfortable I am in depending on this but you might try and place an appointment on Outlook's calendar, run the sync and see if it shows up on your cell's calendar. Strange but it is working for me.
