Windows 7 compatiblilty question

Are the following product windows 7 32 and/or 64 bit compatible?
Forms Runtime 4.5.8.1.2
Reports Runtime 2.5.7.0.4
Browser User Edition 2.0.9.3.0
SQL **Net Client* 2.3.2.1.6A
Oracle TCP/IP Adapter 2.3.2.1.4
All products are part of Oracle Developer 2000

Considering Oracle Developer 2000 was written for Windows 3.x, the chances of it being compatible with Windows 7 is very, very slim. In fact, it is not certified by Oracle as a supported configuration. Take a look at the following for more details:
<ul>
<li>Oracle 9i AS Release 2: Forms Services - Client Platform Support
<li>Oracle Forms 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.x): Client Platform support
<li>Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2) Certification Matrix
</ul>
Granted these matrixes are all for 9i and 10g, but will tell you that the certification matrixes for version prior to 9i are not available, hence not supported any longer.
I realize upgrading an application that is working fine (the old, "If it ain't broke don't fix it") doesn't make sense, but there comes a time when you have to upgrade because the application - not matter how well it is still working - because it won't work on the client OS any more.
@InoL - Windows XP mode is only available on Windows 7 Professional or higher.

A Few Windows 7 Questions

Hello, and thanks for taking the time.
I'm looking forward to Apple's official support of Windows 7, and need a bit of help with a few questions I have.
1) My Macbook Pro was purchased before Snow Leopard was released, and then upgraded to Snow Leopard from a 29 dollar retail disk. Will I need my Leopard discs to install the Windows drivers, or the Snow Leopard disc? And, if Leopard, WHICH disk?
2) Can I resize a partition after it has been partitioned via Boot Camp?
3) Can I use Boot Camp to partition an external hard drive and install Windows 7 (when supported) on THAT partition?
Thanks for all help you can provide!
Happy Holidays!

Hello Midnightblues94,
Just an FYI for you.
It is always best to check with the software manufacturer FIRST. They will tell you if they have tested the product and the version, as well as whether or not it will work with Windows 7.
Check out the Windows 7 Compatibility site: (There you will find out about hardware and software compatibilty.)
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/en-us/default.aspx
There is a pulldown from which you can choose "hardware" and "software".
There are also some great articles, instructional videos and such to help with your Windows 7 at our Springboard site:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/default.aspx
In any event a lot of the times, Vista drivers will work in lieu of Windows 7 drivers, however, it's not 100%!
I will tell you from first hand experience, all of my systems have been converted to Windows 7. I am not just saying it to say because I am affiliated with Microsoft. I can truly stand behind this product and tell you straight
away it works very reliably, fast and extremely stable. The 64bit version is a real powerhouse as well.
Anyways, what to say about Windows 7?
There are several new features that are available with Windows 7 that will assist you with deployment and management of a large number of workstations. Enterprise IT infrastructures are increasingly complex to manage. The Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) is a dynamic desktop solution that is available as a subscription for Software Assurance customers. The solution suite enhances application deployment and compatibility, increases IT responsiveness and end user uptime, and helps reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) of your desktop software and IT management. To learn more about this package, please go here: bit.ly/KzkwM
Also now available is MDT 2010 (Microsoft Deployment Tool) which will help you create images and automate the OS and application installations, data migration, and desktop configuration process. To learn more, please go here: bit.ly/GZnEY
Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum specifically for IT Pros located here http://tinyurl.com/7jq7ps . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to also check the threads available there for additional assistance and feedback.
Also, if you would like to read what other users have said about their positive experience with Windows 7, you may want to check out the following sites: http://tinyurl.com/5tfr8 and http://tinyurl.com/nsm3s

MacBook & Windows applications question..

Hello,
I have been a PC user all of my life but I am very seriously considering purchasing a MacBook 13 inch. I will mostly be using the laptop for MS Office and for web browsing, and I know that Office is available for Macs nowadays. However, there are one or two applications I will need to use.
My question, and I am sure you all have heard this many times before: What exactly do I need to purchase/download to do this? I had read that most people use something called Virtual PC, but have read that that program does not work with the Intel Macs...the new Touche commercial though says something about a program called Parallels? I haven't been able to find much info on that though...
My understanding is that I would have to purchase both Windows XP AND Parallels...
1) Is this correct?
2) Where do I find Parallels / cost?
3) Does this work on the Intel MacBook 13 inch laptops?
4) Will just about any Windows application work assuming the specs matchup?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me!!
-T

I have always been a PC user, too, and I have now had my 13"macbook for six days. In addition, I am absolutely no techie, just an average user. I chose parallels after trying boot camp because 1) I can switch back and forth without shutting down; and 2) in parallels I can set up a 2-finger tap right click which is similar to what I'm used to, while in boot camp I had to remember some fancy sequence thing.
It's been absolutely great, I'm thrilled to death with my switch, but it has been far from problem-free and I have even occasionally reached the point where I wanted to fling the macbook from the balcony. But I restrained myself, and after 6 days of 12-hour a day frustration learning a new system, I think I absolutely have the best of both worlds. Already, I'm spending more time on the mac side, with only a few programs left exclusively on the windows side, and I love this machine more than any VAIO I've owned before.
I would say DEFINITELY do it, but remember that you're a bleeding edge pioneer here, especially if you intend to continue to spend time in windows, which most mac users disdain, and it may take a bit of time and patience before everything works the way you want it to. But when it does -- it's quite a rush!!
In conclusion, do it, decide if you want to use boot camp or parallels to run your windows from (there's plenty of discussion of this on the internet), then steel yourself to learn mac OS, and retreat into your windows when it gets too difficult. If you enjoy a challenge, you like to learn new things, and you want a computer that can do what no other can do, you will love this. If you just want something to work seamlessly in the way you are used to doing, then why are you even considering a mac?

Quick windows update question

I searched and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.
So I installed windows xp SP3, and so far it's going good. My question is will any of the normal windows updates mess up anything at this point.

Ruka:
You installed SP3 update and Windows is running fine so the answer is that windows updates will also work fine in the present and the future.

Window.opener question

Hello,
I understand that the windeo.opener reference the parent window. My question is, if I have a parent page and this page calls page2 and page2 calls page3, how can I reference the parent page from page3?
I am using window.opener."the applet name" but I get an error:
Something like:
The callee server is unavailable and has disappeared.
Can anyone help me solve this problem??? Please let me know if I can provide more information..

When working with javascript in multiple windows like this, it is very easy to get lost.
I think what you missed in accessing your applet was a "document" object.
There are a couple of hints for writing javascript:
1 - you can type javascript into the address bar like so:
javascript:alert(window.opener)
You then follow the path to the object you want as long as you can. Build it up slowly, so you see where the chain breaks.
javascript:alert(window.opener.opener)
javascript:alert(window.opener.opener.document)
javascript:alert(window.opener.opener.document.applets)
javascript:alert(window.opener.opener.document.applets.length)
2 - General design: Don't reference stuff on other pages - call functions on the page only.
Rather than calling window.opener.opener.document.applets[0]. (ie referring to the applet from window 3)
do this
window.opener.opener.saveApplet() (from window 3 call the saveApplet function on window1)
and on the first page have
<script>
function saveApplet(){
document.applets[0]. ...
</script>
This provides a sort of interface for other pages to use, so they don't have to refer to details on the page.
If you change the layout of the page, or the name of the applet etc etc, you only have this one place to modify it. It can save you a nightmare in javascript errors later on.
Good luck,
evnafets

Oracle 11gR2 on Windows 7 Questions

I am thinking about installing Oracle 11g R2 Express Edition on my 64bit Windows 7 laptop. I am wanting to use it to access an Oracle 10g database and develop SSRS 2008 reports against that database.
Here are my questions...
Will the 11g R2 connect to the 10g database?
Will SQL Developer work with the 11g R2 client while connected to a 10g database?
What SQL Developer version is the best to get for developing SSRS2008 reports on the 10g database in this scenario?
If I do the 11g R2 install and it doesn't work, does it uninstall cleanly? I don't want to have any issues with my laptop after the uninstall.
I would appreciate any advise offered.
Thanks!

Pl identify which version of Win 7 - you will require Professional or higher - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#BABGGAJA - Home version is not supported, although some have tried to install it on Home version and have been successful - that does not mean there will be no issues in using the software.
Pl also identify the exact version of "10g" - where is this datbase located ? You should be able to connect to the 10 database from XE.
What is "SSRS" ? I would suggest the latest version of SQL Developer. Why do you need a 11g XE install in the first place ? You should be able to connect to the 10g database directly using SQL Developer.
De-install instructions are here - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#CIHDDHJD - they work as advertised on supported OS versions.

Widget, and Windows Trackpad question.

Widget, Can I assess widget without having to going in dashboard? Like I can run widget standalone? How to install new widgets?
TrackPad.
Does the trackpad, double tap works in windows xp? Or the only way to click is by clicking the buttoN? Does the right click works when you put two finger tap?

You know, there just may have to be some policy changes around here. There are a lot of us who are 1) new to mac, and 2) using windows and windows programs legitimately on an intel mac, specifically, the macbook. We have questions about using these programs on our macs, and I think it's understandable that we want to discuss them.
I really like mac OS, and everything about the macbook. It's the best computer I have ever had. But why do so many people here feel they have to be so hardline about microsoft and any microsoft product? Don't be a microsoft hater! When people ask on this forum about using other 3rd party software -- adobe, WoW, etc.,-- on their macbooks, no one tells them this forum isn't for that!

Novice window/View question (fixed) -- please comment on code

(fixed this to look right, thanks for the posting tip)
Hey, I am using the iPhone SDK, and this is my first non-licensing question, which means it's going to be a very basic one.
I'm able to start a project, using a ViewController template, edit the XIB file, and then have those controls show up. I'm able to create outlets and inlets and handle user input and output to those controls, all well and good.
Where I'm getting hung up is when I want more than one view. I've read the "how to use the ViewController" documentation, which is more like a "how to" guide for specific subclasses.
All I want to do, for now, is to create two views and swap back and forth between two views. My strategy was to create a parent view (just a container), then create two viewcontrollers (with their views) and then set both their views to the addSubView function of my parent view. Then I was going to use the bringSubviewToFront method to swap between the two, if all goes well then using different animations.
So I did the below in my DidFinishLaunching event handler. All I get is a white screen. Can someone correct my code below, given the intent above? I would learn a TON from the answer, I'd be on my way.
Thanks very much in advance.
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
UIView *v = [UIView alloc];
m_pParentView = v; // declared in class interface as UIView *m_pParentView;
ViewCtrlSub1 *vcs1 = [ViewCtrlSub1 alloc];
[vcs1 initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[m_pParentView addSubview: vcs1.view];
ViewCtrlSub2 *vcs2 = [ViewCtrlSub2 alloc];
[vcs2 initWithNibName:nil@ bundle:nil];
[m_pParentView addSubview: vcs2.view];
[window addSubview: m_pParentView];
[m_pParentView bringSubviewToFront:vcs1.view];
// Override point for customization after application launch
[window makeKeyAndVisible];

The Utility template makes two content views that transition with the "flip" view animation. The root view is only used to position the Info style button on the main view. I.e. the root view itself is never visible. I didn't mean to imply that template provided the UI skeleton you were looking for, since you didn't describe what you're looking for. But the toggleView method in RootViewController.m is a good example of how to transition between two views without using a tab or nav view controller (since I assumed that was what you were trying to learn).
If you're still in the dark after studying and playing with the Utility template, the place to go is Chaper 6 of +Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK+ by Mark and LaMarche. In my opinion it's almost self destructive to try and learn iPhone programming without that book.
If you describe the view structure you want, I can give you some more hints, but you won't learn much by just pasting in a code sample.

Window order question when using Full screen

Hello all,
This is my first time posting.. Probably many more to come.. But this is probably a really easy question. I am really new to Cocoa and am picking it up slowly one step at a time.
I am making an application where I need a full screen animation to work with. I have been able to get that up and running and have been able to use a keyboard event to toggle the window to go to full screen and back to window size. However, once I go from the window (which when the app starts is window size) to full screen then back to window I cannot go back into full screen without reselecting that window. What can I do to get it so it will go back and forth all day without having to physically click the window? I have tried using the [self becomeFirstResponder] after it exits full screen and didn't help. I am using the [self enterFullScreenMode:[NSScreen mainScreen] withOptions:nil]. This will be on a MacMini installed kind of like a kiosk so it won't have a keyboard and mouse at all times.. And I might be only using the apple remote or something like that for control.
Thanks for your help!!

Hi speluttiero!
I've got the exact same problem, with MacBook Pro Core i5. 64 bit Windows 7 in Boot Camp.
It even crashes the whole Windows every now and then when playing flash full screen.. screen goes blank, some strage noise from speakers, and then requires reboot. Anyone any idea what's the problem?

Macbook Pro Retina + Windows 8 Questions

First: I know that Bootcamp doesnt have any Windows 8 drivers yet. I know that Windows 7 drivers will do temporarily.
In a month time, I will be getting a Macbook Pro retina. 13" base model. This would be my very first mac. I chose this mac because portability is a major factor for my everyday need. Im always on the move. I know the storage isn't enough but I will buy myself an external Hard drive. Depends on the budget. I will be using this laptop for not so heavy work. Mainly i will be studying Objective C and C++. Something for a free time self study developing. Reason why im putting windows in it, its because i need visual studio c++ for studying ( feel free to recommend any other application for c++ designed for mac). I chose windows 8 because the pro version is 60$ at my local retail.(I know how to do clean install without the requirements).
My questions to those who successfully installed Win8:
1. What are the issues you encountered and how did you solved it?
2. How's the performance? Laggy?
Thanks in advance.

The update to boot camp is now available!
Just installed Windows 8.1 Pro to my MacBook Pro, Retina, Mid 2012, OS X 10.8.5: Memory 16GB 1600MHz DDR3
After going through the usual process from boot camp, then installed windows and the support drivers... the trackpad rt click did not work. I had to then go download the boot camp again from windows 8 using the url below and ran the set up.exe from the boot camp folder you can download from below. Run it within windows 8.
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638
Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033
This solved the Trackpad Right Clicking issue (not working) as well as tapping.
The wireless and network connectivity and keyboard brightness and speakers issues where resolved as well. The Boot camp support software enabled a boot camp control panel available in the windows 8 system tray and from there you can enable the track pad to tap and use the secondary click.

Windows 8 question

I suppose someone will lock this thread, telling me that this is not the right forum. But I'm going to ask anyway.
I'm considering getting a new computer. I will not go to the Mac. I know, those who use it are convinced it is a better system. I'm using Windows 7, 32 bit, 4 GB ram, Lightroom 4.2, Photoshop CS6. Everything runs fine, a little slow, and occasionally I get out of memory errors in Photoshop. I spend several hours each week using those programs.
I'm thinking of moving to a 64 bit system, 8 GB ram. But here's my dilemma. I have a disability, and will not use the touch screen features Windows 8. I'm shaky, and I've tried using iPads and it just isn't going to work. I would try to describe how I manipulate the mouse, but you would be convinced that I'm crazy. All I can say is that I have developed computer skills that have worked for me for nearly 30 years and have provided me with employment.
Now, the question. Is there a compelling reason for me to have Windows 8? Everything that I have watched has indicated that it's not as friendly for using a mouse. And since I use a Trackball, and will continue using a Trackball, is there any reason that I would want Windows 8?

Jim,
To answer your basic question, NO, there is not a compelling reason to upgrade to Windows 8 if you were not planning to get a new computer. But since you are considering getting a new computer, I would suggest you go with Windows 8 Pro 64-bit. I also suggest you get Windows 8 Pro even you keep you same machine and just upgrade you OS to 64-bit. I have used it as my primary OS since March, using both the Consumer Preview and the Release Preview. And now I am downloading the final version. There is a learning curve--but I believe once you get the basics, you will enjoy it. I primary use PS CS6, LR4 and MS office with a keyboard and mouse. I do not use the touch features at all, primarily because I don't have touch-capable hardware. There are many features that Windows 8 has that Windows 7 does not (e.g. File History, Storage Spaces, very quick startup), just to name a few. But rather than take mine or the previous respondants advise, I suggest you get the Release Candidate (I'm not sure you can still download from MS) or the RTM, setup a dual boot situation and just try it!

TRANSFER Windows Software question

I want to replace my Windows laptop with a MacbookPro 15”inch.
However I have some expensive software on my Windows laptop (including Dreamweaver) and don’t have the money to buy the Apple versions.
Is there any way I can transfer any existing software onto a Macbook ?

C# windows service question

I am a web developer who has not worked with windows development for many years. I suddenly have to change a windows service.
The windows service reads EDI files. I want to check for the existence of a row in a SQL table at the beginning of the code. If the row does not exist, then I want to stop processing the current EDI file and move on to the next file. I already
have the code to check for the existence of the row. My question is: Is there an easy way to end processing of this file and move on the next file?

If the code is poorly written, you might be better of rewriting it Personally
I always find my own code poorly written because I often code too linear and the code does not 'jump' from method to method
Assuming that your code is basically single threaded (only processing one file at a time), you can keep a bool in the Program class to indicate if you want
to continue.
static class Program
public static bool WantToBailout=false;
static void Main()
You can set and check this everywhere in the existing code
private void someMethod()
if(Program.WantToBailout)
return;
// normal processing
if(!rowcheck())
Program.WantToBailout=true;
return;
private void anotherMethod()
if(Program.WantToBailout)
return;
someMethod();
if(Program.WantToBailout)
return;

CS3/Windows 8 Questions

Hey all. So will CS3 work with Windows 8 if I follow this http://optimizewindows8.wordpress.com/2013/03/01/how-to-solve-photoshop-cs3-compatibility- issues-with-windows-8/? If so, where is the update they're talking about?
My last little side question is, if i run a trial version of Windows 8 on my computer, will it be an accurate representation of how it will really be if I install Windows 8 and reinstall the CS3?

Not sure what you mean. I thought it did.
The blog post says
Go to adobe website and look for an update to your version of adobe Photoshop, find it. It probably is name as “Application Patcher.”
Download the Adobe Photoshop update file (Application patch).
So I gave you a link to the only update available for CS3.
