Why won't Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 (Windows XP) log off, shut down or restart?

Hello,
I have recently installed Microsoft's Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 or Windows XP on my Dell latitude D510. Anytime I try to log off, shut down, or restart it says logging off with the bar going across but even after 1/2 an hour the thing still says
that. I tried disabling my sound card, reinstalling the driver, and the Microsoft UPH thing but still nothing. Anytime I want to turn off my laptop I have to hold down the power button which I know is bad for it but I have no choice! Any
help is appreciated, Thanks in advance.
Laptop Specs:
Intel Pentium M 740 @ 1.73GHz
1GB DDr2 RAM
Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 SP3
Dell Latitude D510

Download and install all the Windows XP hardware drivers available from
Dell Support.

My mail won't quit and now my mac book will not shut down or restart ANY IDEAS

MY MAIL WONT OPEN AND IT WILL NOT QUIT SO NOW MY MAC BOOK PRO IS STUCK IT WONT REBOOT OR SHUT DOWN ANY IDEAS

Check this location:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
If anything in there place them in
a folder named "Bundles Disabled"
(create one).
Try quitting Mail.
If it quits OK then something in that folder
is causing problems.

My iPhone 4s has been going black and shutting down then restarting itself, why?

Why does my iphone 4s keep going to a black screen, shutting down then restarting on its own??? Just started happening a day ago. Will I need to get a new phone or can this be fixed?

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...

Anyone heard about Windows Embedded POSReady 7 Pro?

Has anyone heard about Windows Embedded POSReady 7 Pro? We manufacture ATMs and were forced to switch from Windows Embedded POSReady 7 to Windows 7 Professional FES last year due to changes in the additional terms (ATs) which stated that
POSReady 7 (without the "Pro"-suffix) must not be used with ATMs.
Since then we started implementing OA 2.1, for being able to activate our machines automatically and had to inform all our customers that we now have to buy more expensive licenses with reduced functionality (no BitLocker in Win7Prof, no Embedded Enabling
Features, no LP support, etc.).
Last week I found a very interesting EULA on MyOEM.microsoft.com for the new OS-variant "Windows Embedded POSReady 7 Pro", which suddenly is allowed on ATMs explicitly:
2. ADDITIONAL LICENSING REQUIREMENTS AND/OR USE RIGHTS
a. Specific Use. You may use the software on a device with automated teller machine (“ATM”) as the primary functionality.
See
https://myoem.microsoft.com/oem/myoem/en/topics/Licensing/emblicres/Pages/DP-WinEmbPOSReady7ProEULA.aspx for details.
Our distributor supported us and already found the ATs for Windows Embedded POSReady 7 Pro, but was also surprised that Microsoft introduced this new variant.
Does anybody know more about it?
Where can we (indirect embedded OEM, who purchases through distribution) get such relevant information earlier? ( The only source of information I know is the MyOEM-portal) And why did Microsoft release the new variant now?
Best regards, Roman Maier

I have never heard of a Pro version for POSReady 7. It is not listed in the life cycle:
https://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/product-lifecycles.aspx
Nor is there a download for it:
https://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/downloads.aspx
Sounds like someone is doing some funny business. The successor to POSReady 7 is Windows Embedded 8.x Industry, which comes in two flavors - Pro and Enterprise.

Why won't my printer print with Windows 8?

Why won’t my printer print with Windows 8?
Have you just upgraded, or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can’t get your printer to work? If so, this may help you. A lot of people have questions about installing their printer on a new OS. This will help you answer those questions and make sure that you get everything installed.
Before You Start
Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8 computer, you should check to make sure the printer is compatible with the new OS. The link below will give you a list of the printers that will work in Windows 8.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03168175&lc=en&cc=us&destPage=document&dlc=en
If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 form another version of Windows, make sure to completely uninstall all of the software for your printer. It should still print, but to use all the functions you will need to reinstall the software, if it’s available.
Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.
USB. You should make sure that you have a USB cable that is no longer than 6 ft. (roughly 2m). Make sure to connect the printer directly to the computer. Do not use a USB hub.
Ethernet cable. Make sure you have the network setup, that you have a free cable port on the router, and that you have an Ethernet cable available.
Wireless. You should make sure that you have the wireless network setup, and that you have the password for the wireless network.
1.     Installing Via USB
Installing via USB in Windows 8 has become much simpler for HP printer users. In other versions of the Windows OS you had to start the installation and wait for it to ask you for the USB connection. If you didn’t, you would have to uninstall the printer from the Printers/Devices folder, and then start the install. In Windows 8, that will not be a problem. If you plug the printer’s USB cable in and then install the printer’s software, it will still work. Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via USB click the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460670&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
2.     Installing Via an Ethernet Network Connection
For an Ethernet network connected printer the install is amazingly simple. All you have to do is connect the printer to the network. Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you. Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available. It’s really that easy.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
3.     Installing Via a Wireless Network Connection.
For a wireless network connected printer the install is amazingly simple as well. All you have to do is connect the printer to the network. Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you. Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available. It’s pretty much the same as an Ethernet install, just wireless.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
Alternate Install Methods
With Windows 8, many printers’ drivers are installed with the OS. These are known as InOS drivers, since they come built into the operating system. If you have one of those printers, all you should have to do is connect it to the computer via USB, or connect it to the network via Ethernet or wireless. Once you have that done Windows will handle the rest. There are alternate methods of installing your printer if the normal methods are not working for some reason. You can install the printer either using the Printer Install Wizard, or through Windows Updates.
Printer Install Wizard:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02681060&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
Windows Update:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460648&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
Note: The Laserjet drivers for the Asia-Pacific and Japan won’t be released until a later date. Check the support site linked below for driver availability. I will update this post once they become available.

Windows Embedded POSReady

Hi,
I would like to ask about Windows Embedded POSReady? is it still available from Microsoft or replaced by Windows Embedded 8? or those are the same products with different naming? can anyone explain please?
Also, is there a developer download for it if we would like to test a POS .NET application or it's available for purchase only?
Thanks,
Jassim

Hello Jassim,
Since this issus is related with POS.NET, I move it to the POS for NET forum there are POS experts will help you, the current forum you posted to is used to discuss and ask questions about .NET Framework Base Classes (BCL) such as Collections, I/O, Regigistry,
Globalization, Reflection.

Why won't my Embedded forms show up at all?

I've followed directions exactly on how to embed forms to my website. I'm using iWeb and pasting the code into HTML snippet widgets. I've built a few website before using this procedure, and Adobe Forms worked great in the past. Recenly, I've updated a website and created new pages. Is there something I have missed? Did Adobe change protocol? Is there something wrong with my account? Is there additional code needed? The form dispays in my website editor, however: Why won't my embedded forms show up at all in any browser,(IE, Safari, Firefox, or Chrome) whether the browser is pulling files from a local folder, or from a hosted server?

Hi,
Will you be able to provide the link to your web page? you can either paste it here or you can send it to [email protected]
Thanks,

When I try to open iPhoto I get a window dialog that says...
Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable
Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
I have tried the reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keyes pressed.
No change.
I dee nothing but a blank page,
Any help would be appreciated.
Also hace back ups of all images on cd's. dvds and jump drives.
Any advice is appreciated.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Since installing OSX 10 my iMac randomly shuts down and restarts. I can not determine why this is happening. Any ideas?

Since installing OSX 10, my iMac randomly shuts down and restarts. I can not determine why this is happening. Any ideas?

1. This is a comment on what you should and should not do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandboxing security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know what is safe?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is unsafe.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are outside the safe harbor, though not all are necessarily harmful.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe. For instance, if a web page warns you that Flash is out of date, do not follow an offered link to an update. Go to the Adobe website to download it, if you need it at all.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
"FREE WI-FI !!!" networks in public places are unsafe unless you can verify that the network is not a trap (which you probably can't.) Even then, do not download any software or transmit any private information while connected to such a network, regardless of where it seems to come from or go to.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free anti-virus products in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. Most of the real danger comes from highly targeted "zero-day" attacks that are not yet recognized.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless an institutional policy requires it.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
