Windows 2000 - disable 'autoraise' when focus-follows-mouse?

For convenience when using EDA tools I have my windows 2000 desktop configured as "focus-follows-mouse" with autoraise disabled. This means I can work in multiple overlapping windows without constantly having the active window coming forward and hiding some other window that I need to see while working in the active window.
However, it seems that LabView (8.5 and 8.6) automatically implement autoraise. That is, as soon as any labview window gets mouse focus, it automatically and instantly raises to the front. This is particularly annoying if the mouse is just passing over a corner of or partially visible slice of a labview window.
Since there doesn't appear to be any config for this in the user options, is there any other way (registry edits, for example) to disable autoraise in Labview? Switching back to "click to focus" mode is not an option.
Thanks and Best Regards,

Hi Jeff,
I am not sure what is causing this behavior,
but there are a couple of settings that you can try that may be able to
help with this issue. First, if you go to FIle>>VI Properties and
select Window Appearance in the Category dropdown. Select Customize...,
and try out the different Window Behavior settings on the right side.
I'm not sure if Floating or Modal will change this behavior, but I
would try it and see.
Also, if you go to
Tools>>Options...>>Environment and uncheck Allow
drop-through clicks and see if this makes a difference.

Visit your PC manufacturer's website and install the latest driver related to mouse (it is okay if you install the driver for Windows 7 too).
If you received any error, try run it in compatibility mode.

Oracle 8.1.7 client installer won't work under windows 2000

I am trying to run the latest oracle client install of 8.1.7 on my windows 2000 PC and when I double click on it, it show the hour glass for a few seconds, then nothing happens. No screens come up at all. I have a Dell PC with an ATI rage 16 MB ultra card and I have dowlnloaded the latest jre 1.1.8 and nothing helps. If I try another kind of PC like my ibm, the installer works fine. Dell has no answers??

I found the solution on another discussion group and it worked for WinNT4 SP6a:
First copy your CD content to your hard disk (by example c:\temp), then rename file "symcjit.dll" (by example "symcjit.old") in directory "c:\temp\Stage\Components\Oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin".
Finally, run Setup.exe in directory "c:\temp\Install\Win32".

Intel says there is a bug in oracle's OUI as well other swing based programs. The solution is to copy the CD to local drive and add -nojit as first parameter to JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS e.g. JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS="-nojit -mx32m"
This will enable OUI to run. Even after installing oracle Net80 conf. asst won't start due to same reason.
Go to HOME\admin\tools\ and edit netca.cl and netasst.cl to add same -nojit before -classpath.
Do this for every tool that gives this prob such DBA studio...

Illustrator CS2 Doesn't Start For User on Windows 2000

I've recently installed Adobe Illustrator CS2 on a Windows 2000 system. When I start the product when logged in as the Administrator, it starts fine. However, when I start the product logged in as a user, it goes thru the startup process, displays all of the various tool windows, and then before it gets to the first time window, it just closes. No error messages, nothing in the Windows system or application log, it just closes the same windows it just opened and then exits.
I've tried setting the permissions on the folders listed in the Windows Rights KB entry, with no effect. I've tried installing a postscript printer, setting full rights on it, and using it as the default for the user.
Does anyone know what file right, user priviledge, or other feature might be causing the problem? Thanks.

I wasn't aware that it required Power User rights. This is somewhat of a high security environment, and that can be difficult.
Do you, by chance, know what features of Power User rights are needed? I can perhaps grant those to this user, and make it work.
Do you think it is having a problem accessing portions of the registry, or files in certain folders, or something else?
Thanks for your help.

can someone please help me?

I got problems in installing Oracle 7.3 or Oracle 7.4 in Windows 2000 platform.
When you spoke about "new version or another version of Oracle Installer", did you refer to an upgrade version of Oracle 7.x or
to a particular patch or to Oracle8.x?
Kind regards,

Trouble installing XP on Windows 2000 Thinkpad T43

I am trying to load XP pro, on a Thinkpad T43(2668). It was previously on this system. Currently the system has windows 2000 pro. When installing XP disc, the disc will not load. The bios is set load CD priority. I tried formatting, and deleting, and recreating the active partition, in Windows 2000 recovery. Also tried installing Xp pro disk, on clean system (no OS). Nothing works, CD, installation stalls and we get error messages
Error messages: i386/vga.oem, i386/ntkrnlmp.exe , blank screen, inf file txtesetup.sif corrupt or missing, are all errors I have gotten. Different error messages with each attempt at installation. Also have gotten “At: press any key to boot from CD”, no response.
I ran a RAM test on this system for 12 hours, and there are no errors.
This XP pro CD loads in other PC’s, no problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks
BA

You're looking at a bad media drive, or a bad disk itself, regardless of the fact that it loads on other units it may still be partially defective.
Try borrowing another media drive or using an USB CD-ROM to load the OS.
Good luck.

How to start message server if it's stop in windows 2000 s operating system

Hello Experts,
I have doubt - If my message server stoped automatically in windows 2000 server.
When I press all task starts and it gets failed can any one please tell me how to strat this message server by manually?

paras,
did you try logging in as admin and then checking the services active in Windows ? ( Stat - Accssories - Administrative tools - Services ) or something like that...
There you can find all the services like IIS etc which are wither running or have been stopped.
try right clicking on your service and starting the same.
Also check the event lo in the server to find out if it was stoped manually or it failed due to some reason.

Hope this helps...

How can I disable the access to windows 2000(O.S.) from LabView?

I need to disable the access to windows when an application (exe), created by LabView, is running. When the application is running, the user can not acces to windows (for example, execute another application) until he stops the application.
I am using LabView 6.1 and windows 2000
Many Thanks

Hi Francesc,
There are a couple of options for this. One of them could be calling Windows OS activex components and making the Desktop invisible through labVIEW and then bringing it back on after the LabVIEW execution is stopped.
The other option is to modify user settings on the target machine. I have tried this on windows 2000 and it works.
Run "gpedit.msc" from your start menu. In the Group Policy template choose the user configuration that you wish to make the settings for. Expand User Configuration , expand Administrative Templates , and then expand System. Choose 'Custom user interface'
In this panel select 'Enabled' and enter the interface file name, in this case C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Labview 6.1.exe. (or your own filepath\App
lication.exe). Reboot the machine.
This replaces the default windows shell (explorer.exe) with your LabVIEW executable. When the operator logs on, the only thing on his screen is the Labview application. No desktop, no taskbar, no start button.
This can also be done through LabVIEW using register-level programming. But it would be a more complex approach.
Hope this helps.

Facebook reports that i'm using v3.5 of Firefox and Windows 2000 when running on 16.0.2 and XP (upgraded system). where is this info and how to reset?

the PC was upgraded from Win2000 to XP, and has all the XP service packs installed. it is also running Firefox 16.0.2. when i go to Facebook, and other pages, it says that i'm running an unsupported operating system (says i'm using Windows 2000), and i should upgrade my browser to the latest version (says i'm running FF 3.5, or FF 3.6, can't remember which). i' ve looked thru the registry, but haven't found anything that jumps out. where else could this info be stored that Firefox is looking at.

It's explained in the “Firefox is showing the wrong User Agent” section of the aforementioned article.
# Type ''about:config'' in the address bar and press Enter.

How do I get firefox to display images clearly? I've got Windows 2000 Pro and Firefox 3.6.6. Internet Explorer shows images clearly, so I'm sure I have the correct graphics driver. Do I need a plugin or add-on of some sort? When I go to "updates", it

When I use Firefox the images and logos don't show up clearly/correctly. I'm using Windows 2000 Pro. and just installed Firefox 3.6.6. I'm sure I have the right graphics driver as I'm able to see the images and logos clearly in Internet Explorer. I only have the "default plugin 1.0.0.15" installed. I'm thinking that I'm missing a plugin or add-on of some sort, but I'm not sure which one(s). When I go to "updates" it says there were no updates available. When I go to "Add-ons" it gives a list of Add-ons but I'm not sure which would help my issue. Any help would be appreciated.:)

Any chance you have a dial-up connection that uses a web accelerator to speed the loading of content?

IPod will not charge when iTunes in open in Windows 2000

I have a problem with WIndows 2000 iTunes install where the iPod will connect but as soon as it has finished synchronizing the iPod will go back to the main screen and stop charging. I saw several posts on this with no resolution.
I dont have a fix yet but I do have a work around.
Fire up iTunes and plug in the iPOD. It will recognize it and sync. Then select Options and in the iPOD tab uncheck the box which says " launch iTunes when iPOD connects" or something similar. Apply and Exit from options menu.
iTunes will resync with the iPOD. You can now disconnect the iPOD and close iTunes.
Now if you connect the iPOD, iTunes will NOT launch and the iPOD will charge fine, at least mine does:-)
If you now run iTunes it will still connect automatically with the iPOD as before and do all the usual stuff. The only downside to this workaround is that you have to manually start iTunes ( hardly a big deal) and close it and disconnect then reconnect the iPOD ( or just connect it and not start iTunes) for it to charge.
Works for me.
There was a lot of black magic quoted on this support site relating to buying chargers, third party or otherwise and USB not having enough power on thursdays with a 7 in the date or having to use a powered hub of a particular color , alien interference etc etc. All bogus.
Its an Apple software problem and I hope they fix it in the next iTunes release.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info, but I finally found what was the problem.
It seems to be related to Itunes config and Nano firmware. I found another post talking about this "Topic: Self-ejecting Nano".
I had to enable disk use in ipod options, but this causes me to manually eject Nano.

I uninstalled LabVIEW 6.1 from a Windows 2000 computer and now when I run DOS programs I get a pop-up error, "gpib-vdd.dll, An installable Virtual Device Driver failed Dll initialization". How do I correct this?

Occurs when running Edit.com for example. Error has choice to Close application or Ignore. If Ignore is chosen, application appears to run normally. Running repair of Windows 2000 does not correct the problem.

I'm glad you found it. Don't worry about the post. It's always good to check the KBs first, but we can't help it if we miss one sometime! The forum is definitely helpful though so don't feel hesitant to use it in the future. Good luck with the programming!

Windows 7 and XP Disable wireless when connected to hot wired

Hello there,
We are facing IP address shortage due to redundant network connections from laptops because every laptop uses two IP address when connected to wireless network and hard wire. Does Windows 7 and XP natively has the options to disable wireless when a laptop
is connected to hard wired? I know the wireless can easily disabled by manual process but problem is user don't have the knowledge or don't bother to do that. So if there is a way to use GPO to configure this would be ideal -- no 3rd party solution please.
Any suggestion is most welcomed.
Thanks,
TL

There are no Fail proof ways for Win 7 or 8 to make sure that AT ALL times Wire is used over WIFI. The metric setting is ignored by MS. I know cause my metric for the wired is 10 and for the WiFi is 9999, but at all times the WiFi is used instead of the
Wired. This is by design as Microsoft being as inept as always did not properly design their operating system. This is a DESIGN DEFECT, which Microsoft will not admit to, despite the fact that it could be caused by no other method EXCEPT incompetent design,
ignored during quality assurance testing etc. The reason there are a million people looking for a fix for this design flaw is that there is NO fix available. MS will not fix it as they got your money and could care less. Being that they are among the most
evil and greedy companies currently in business is why it will never be fixed. I dare them to prove me wrong and fix the obvious design defect. I double dare all who read this to log in to the MS tech net and demand that they fix this DESIGN DEFECT.
Any developer qualified to design an OS should have no problem permanently fixing this and Microsoft has NO EXCUSE for not doing so with an update!!!!!! All they have to do in the code logic is ask the system if the device getting an IP etc is using a "radio"
then it asks all the other devices that are getting or have gotten an IP if it was gotten via a radio, If during any of these quires the answer is I DID NOT get my IP from a radio connection then that IP path gets priority and all the others, IE WiFi gets
disabled. Then if there is a change in the network, loss of connectivity for example, the process is repeated and when everything say's it got its IP from a radio then the WiFi takes over. So in a nut shell every connection is looked at to see if it is from
a radio based device or a hardwired based device, NOT using metrics since that apparently can not be counted on, the prof is in the 500+ PCs I just setup, ALL OF WHICH GIVE A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER METRIC TO THE WIRED, but still choose the WIFi. The order of
the connection establishment should not matter since the test is performed on every connection and as soon as one is found that is not radio based, it is left on and all others are turned off. Common sense really. This is NOT ROCKET science! Just good common
sense programing.
So I challenge everyone who reads this comment to add a demand for MS to fix the DESIGN DEFECT once and for all.
That's all I have to say. If there is a script as some of the suggestions here mention that can do it, if there is a single 3rd party product out there that can do it, then there is NO EXCUSE for MS not to provide a PERMANENT OFFICIAL MICROSOFT CERTIFIED
FREE fix for this DEFECT. And yes it can only be classified as a DESIGN DEFECT as common sense say's you would AT NO time under normal operations EVER want the MUCH slower WiFi, 100 mbps compared to 1000 mbps for wired to be in charge. EVER! Even if
the wired nic is only 100 mbps, some cheep junk laptops have the indecency to come with a 100 mbps nic instead of a Gigabit, the Wired is still better 99.99999% of the time.
And one last thing this IS THE ONLY REAL ACCEPTABLE ANSWER to the original question, and all the others just like it who EXPECT, with GOOD REASON, that COMMON SENSE, would be in charge NOT ignorance and defective designs, and that AT ALL TIME WIRED RULES
OVER WIFI.
Hope this helps, it is time to insist that MS do their job AND FIX THE DESIGN DEFECT!!!!!!!!!
Ralph
PS Not all systems have switches on the outside for disabling the WiFi. My HPs don't and trying to train all the users on how to MANUALLY disable it and when to do so etc is like trying heard flock of sparrows, it's not happening, NOR SHOULD IT NEED TO!

Has anyone encountered a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime error in Windows 2000 when upgrading from Labview 6.0i to 6.0.2?

When I try to upgrade Labview 6.0i to 6.0.2 by running the setup.exe file I downloaded from the NI site, I immediately get a dialog box with the header "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" and it says "Runtime Error! Program: C:\setup.exe abnormal program termination."
I'm running Windows 2000, but I've successfully installed it on another computer with the same setup. I'm guess some of the DLL files in system32 has been corrupted or mismatched versions. But I don't know which one...
Anyone know what this means?

Hello,
You can probably solve this problem by going to Start >> Run and typing the following:
Regsvr32 \msi.dll
Where is the folder where the msi.dll file resides on your computer (you can use Start >> Find to find the exact location). Once you do this, the installation of the 6.0.2 update should work properly.
Please let me know if you continue to have any problems. Thanks for your patience on this issue, and have a pleasant day.
