Windows 7 with XP-logon

Hola!
I thrashed XP in favour of Win7, and everything works smoothly. There is just one thing that is bugging me:
When I fire up my Lenovo (S10e) I get the XP loading bar, and not the Windows 7 "flying dots" comming together forming the windows logo. Anyone else experiencing this, and have a solution?
It's no biggie, but still strange. I was thinking maybe this is a BIOS issue - since the S-series is shipped with XP, and maybe the OEM-key for XP is "hardwired" in there?

I am guessing you get the "yellow" bars, without the Windows logo - which is slightly different from XP (where there was a logo and the bar was blue or green).
I have installed Win7 on 3 systems. On "real" notebooks (one of which is a Lenovo T500) I get the new logo at startup, however, on my netbook (MSI Wind) I get these yellow bars, and not the new logo. I am guessing it has something to do with the hardware - either a driver issue or they just decided to use a less fancy logo on netbook hardware.

Issue with language specific characters combined with AD-Logon to BO platform and client tools

We are using SSO via Win AD to logon to BO-Launchpad. Generally this is working which means for Launch Pad no manual log on is needed. But this is not working for users which have language specific letters in their AD name (e.g. öäüéèê...).
What we have tried up to now:
If the AD-User name is Test-BÖ the log on is working with the user name Test-BO with logon type AD
If the logon Type "SAP" is used than it is possible to use the name Test-BÖ as the username
Generally it is no problem in AD to use language specific letters (which means it is possible to e.g. log on to Windows with the user Test-BÖ)
It is possible to read out the AD attributes from BO side and add them to the user. Which means in the user attributes the AD name Test-BÖ is shown via automatic import from AD. So it's not the problem that the character does not reach BO.
I have opened a ticket concerning that. SAP 1th level support is telling me that this is not a BO problem. They say it is a problem of Tomcat. I don't believe that because the log on with authentification type SAP is working.
I have set up the same combination (AD User Test-BÖ with SAP User Test-BÖ) as a single sign on authentification in SAP BW and there it is working without problems.
Which leads me to the conlusion: It is not a problem of AD. It is something which is connected to the BO platform but only combined with logon type AD because SAP Logon is working with language specific characters.

I have found this article with BO support:
You cannot add a user name or an object name that only differs by a character with a diacritic mark
Basically this means AD stores the country specific letters as a base letter internally. Which means that if you have created a user with a country specific letter in the name you can also logon with the Base letter to Windows.
SAP-GUI and Windows are maybe replacing the country specific letters by the base letter. Due to that SSO is working. BO seems not to be able to do that. Up to now the supporter from BO is telling me that this is not a BO problem.
Seems to be magic that the colleagues of SAP-GUI are able to to it.

Missing column value when logged on to windows with user id other then admi

I am using crystal report 10 with oracle 10g database. Application is is developed on vissual studio.net 2005 (vb.net). Reports are launched from vb.net application.
My report runs fine when I logon to windows as administrator and launch vb.net application. When I logeed on to windows with userid other then administrator my application works fine except one of the column value is missing a value in the report. When I launch my vb.net application my oracle userid is same. Only difference is windows userid. My application has no referance to windows userid. Why crystal report viewer is missing one column value when loged on to windows as user(xxxx)?

CR 10.2 bundles with .NET 2005. If you do not see the CR assemblies of version 10.2.3600 in GAC, try to do a custom install of .net 2005, choosing just Crystal Reports. Note that Crystal Reports does not bundle with all versions of .NET (for example it does not ship with .NET Express - I believe...). Alternatively, you can upgrade to CR 2008 which is the latest sipping version of Crystal Reports. You can obtain a copy by calling sales at 866-681-3435, or go to this link:
www.businessobjects.com/product/catalog/crystalreports
An eval copy of CR 2008 can be downloaded from here:

Problem with SAP logon 720 for printng with Citrix.

Hi,
I have a problem with sap logon 720 when printing for Citrix, one time print and other time don't print....
I try to start SAPLPD for prompt comand... it's start but don't print....
i'm write here for look if other people have this problem... I dont know what I can do.....
Thank you very much....

Hi Itmar,
I was having the similar issue on my Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server. At times SAP prints stop working. Then i changed Printer Type to "G" and it had solved the problem. It skips the use of SAPLPD service and calling windows printing service directly.
Just try with that.

Resetting Airport Extreme disabled my home network. Now when i attempt to get to internet with iPad, or iPhone, I see an Earthlink (ISP) window with message: The internet connection is currently in use by another computer (nun.nn.n.nn)

Resetting Airport Extreme disabled my home network. Now when i attempt to get to internet with iPad, or iPhone, I see an Earthlink (ISP) window with message: The internet connection is currently in use by another computer (nun.nn.n.nn) Enter your DSL Account logon psassword to switch the internet connection to this computer. If I do that, other messages follow. I am usually able to switch connection, but can have only one device on internet at a time. Tried to correct problem using Airport Utility, but failed.

Unfortunately, there is mass confusion about whether a device might be a modem or a modem/router since the terms are mixed up all the time. Even though a device might have only one Ethernet port, it can still be a router.
If this is your "modem".......
http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/netopia-cayman-3341-router/4507-3319_7-30484785. html
It is not a modem.....it is a modem/router. If that is the case, then the AirPort Extreme is not the only router on your network....it is one of two routers, and it should be configured to operate in Bridge Mode.
Does this device appear to be your "modem"?

Use Windows Account to logon to WAS (ICM) ...

Hi All !
is it possible to use a windows Domain Account to logon to WAS Applications ( BSP or Webdypro in ICM ) ?
possible with Kerberos or Certificates ?
How to implement ?
need help !
Thanks
Oliver

Wolfgang,
Yes, I hope that Oliver finds this chat/info useful, and not too confusing.
I am sorry, but the question asked in this post was related to using the Windows Account to logon to WAS. For me that means something like :
1. The user is currently logging onto Windows using an account, and is authenticating with Active Directory using this account. e.g. via password or smart card, two-factor token etc.
2. The user wants to use this same Windows account to logon to WAS ABAP. This implies the same authentication method used to logon to Windows (e.g. password, smart card, two-factor token etc.) should be used to logon to SAP WAS. This relates to the question being asked by Oliver.
So, if we first consider x.509. How are you proposing that the user authenticates using their certificate, and determines their Windows account from this certificate when they log onto SAP ? The Active Directory approach is to use PKINIT (a Kerberos pre authentication mechanism) to determine the Windows account name from the certificate based authentication, so SAP WAS would have to use PKINIT and/or share the same certificate that Active Directory uses for this to be possible. I am not aware of a method of making this work with SAP software, and if it is possible, it certainly would not be easy. Also, I am not convinced this gives Oliver what he is asking for. The only method I am aware of is to use client certificates to authenticate to SAP, and these certificates would normally be issued by SAP or via an external CA which is trusted by SAP. When using this method to logon to SAP there is no way to relate the certificate to the account name the user is aware of in Windows since the certificate authentication used by SAP is completely separate from the Windows account authentication. Hence, I would say that x.509 cannot be used to meet Olivers requirements.
Regarding SPNEGO. There was no question asked about SPNEGO - you introduced this technical term in your response, and I answered the question referring to Kerberos since this is what Oliver asked about. Also, this is not supposed to be a discussion about standards, it is a discussion about the methods available to logon to SAP WAS using a Windows account. This is the question I have answered.
I didn't say that the ABAP systems supported SPNEGO. I simply explained how it is possible to use Kerberos to authenticate to ABAP apps, either via Integrated Windows Authentication or via a logon screen that asks for Active Directory account name and password. This answers the question from Oliver clearly and without confusing him with technology - basically, what he wants to do is possible, very easy and quite commonly implemented by SAP customers, so surely these things are more important than introducing technology and standards in to the discussion when they are not relavent, and certainly better than giving the impression that x.509 is the way to go !
I don't want this post/discussion to be taken the wrong way. I wanted to make sure that Oliver gets the answer he asked for, and when you responded implying that x.509 was the best option and Kerberos was not possible I felt I had to correct you on this, in the context of the question being asked and my knowledge of the solutions available on the market to address the requirements that Oliver has asked about.

How can I merge all of the new FF windows that are open into one window with multiple tabs? Safari has a merge windows feature that I like. This is really nice when conducting reasearch on multiple sites at the same time.

When I clik on weblinks they all open into new windows making it somewhat painful to clik on window in the menu bar to go to each new page. I would rather have a feature that would allow me to merge all of those individual windows into tabs within one page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Thank you. That worked. I was able to open 1 window with multiple tabs. Thanks cor-el!

SSO with SAP logon tickets to non-SAP web app

I am trying to implement SSO to an oracle portal based web application using SAP logon tickets, but can't seem to find a way for it to work. I thought maybe it would be a web server filter, but am unsure if this would work for oracle portal. Anyone tried similar?

Links that open a new window with javascript:void(null); do not work in 3.1

I've been noticing that any site I go to that opens content in a new window with "javascript:void(null);" will be ignored by Safari 3.1. The links work in Firefox and used to work in Safari as well. Any suggestions?

General rule of thumb in the Mac universe...
When Safari is updated most if not all third party add-ons break. That's because most don't play by the rules. The developer thinks they know how to do it better than Apple so they just do it their way. So the first rule of survival is to KNOW what you have installed on your machine at all times. Use something like textedit to create a document listing all of the third party stuff you have installed and religiously update the list. Second rule is to wait a few days before applying an update. Third rule is to visit your third party developers' sites and make sure their little gadget is compatible with the new Safari update.
Being aware of things will make life much easier for you in the long run.

I can't get download to work - it will not copy the mp3 file to my chosen location (as set in tools/options) - it gives me a new window with a player - no dwnlo

I am running windows xp sp2 and I have set my dowload location under (tools/options), but when I select an MP3 file to download, firefox does NOT copy the file to my chosen location on my HD - instead, it opens up a new window with a makeshift "player" and begins loading the player with the MP3 file. The problem is that I have no idea where on my system firefox has copied this file to, so, I cannot leave and come back later and play this MP3 file using winamp. I have to listen to it right then or lose it - if I close that new window (with that puny little "player"), then I lose the download, wherever firefox put it on my PC (I got no idea where it is). This is all under firefox 25.0
I am also running FIrefox 12.0 on an older windows 2000 machine and that works perfectly - I can download any MP3 file I want, and firefox 12.0 (on win2k, sp4) downloads it to my chosen location (on my HD), and it gives me the download window so I can watch its progress and have some control over pause, and resume, and, when it is done, the download window offers me the option to "open containing folder" so I can make sure it got to where I wanted it. In other words, Firefox 12.0 on WIn2k, sp4 works better than firefox 25.0 on winxp sp2!!!!! What gives? I went through and set up my options for XP just like I did with Win2k and it all looks good, but firefox 25.0 just ignores my chosen location and always defaults to give me that makeshift player and I am not able to actually copy the mp3 file to my harddrive - it makes firerox 25.0 almost unusable since downloading mp3 files is a big part of my firexfox use - please help - I am not able to upgrade windows at this time, and, since firefox 12.0 still works fine on win2k, I can't understand what happened at firefox?

Phillipp,
I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

New Window from "FILE- NEW-WINDOW" duplicates all the currently open tabs in the new window. I want new window with just the "Home" tab please?

Running Firefox 3.6.13 on 64Bit Win7.
I like to group tabs on a topic in a window, and when the tabs get to be too many, or a new topic, I do FILE->NEW-WINDOW and expect a new window with just one default (Home) tab. Instead I get a new window with ALL the tabs of the first window.
I have checked all the Options I could find. Nothing helped. I CAN make a new Window with just one tab if I right-click a link and say "Open in NEW Window".

A new window should only open with the home page(s). 
If you see differently then you need to check your extensions.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

How to use Two main windows with in a page in script ?

Hi any body explain me...
How to use Two main windows with in a page in script ?
with header data in one main window,
& Item data in other main window.

HI..,
u need to go for SPLITTING THE MAIN WINDOW !!!
Main windows in page windows allow you to format text in multiple columns. Define an area in the page window, in which to position the main windows.
Here is the procedure !!
-->Create a page window and assign it to a page.
Choose Edit --> Main windows.
A dialog box appears.
-->Enter values in the fields Area width and Area height in accordance with the input guidelines for main windows.
-->Enter values in the fields Spacing and Number in the Horizontal group if you want to use multiple columns. You can ignore the fields in the Vertical group.
Determine how many columns and line areas are required for label printing. Then enter the corresponding values in the fields in the Horizontal and Vertical groups.
-->The value in the field Left margin varies from main window to main window if multiple columns are used. The following applies:

Left margin of current column + Window width + Horizontal spacing = Left margin of next column
In label printing, the field Upper margin also varies from main window to main window:

Upper margin of current main window + Window height + Vertical spacing = Upper margin of next main window
-->Enter a value in the field Start position.
This is a counter. Enter a starting value which is equal to or greater than 1.
-->The main windows are added to the list.
-->Save your form.

When I click on a website it opens a new tab or window with an advertisement

When I click on a website, whether it be after doing a search to open a site or when I hit enter after entering a password or even just click on next to go to the next page, mozilla pops up a new tab or window with an advertisement in it. It has been doing this for several weeks now. I have tried running antivirus software and it hasn't helped.
