WinXP Pro SP2 XE works, VS 2005 Developer tools won't

Visual Studio 2005 Oracle explorer sees nothing.
Took me 2 days to figure this out
Copy the tnsnames.ora file from:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN
To the new home directory created when you installed Oracle Developer Tools for VS 2005, probably something like :
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\Client_1\NETWORK\ADMIN
Now Oracle explorer will see the XE database when you add a connection.
If you want to access your database via HTTP and have your XE server installed on an XP Pro SP2:
By default, Windows XP Pro SP2 Firewall blocks external access to your database on port 8080.
You must enable HTTP access via Administration on your XE Server. You must also turn the Windows firewall off on the server machine or insert an exception for TCP port 8080 in the Firewall. Firewall settings are located at control panel, firewall, exceptions. Stop the firewall, insert the exception, then start the firewall up again.
Have fun. Learning is so rewarding.

Well done.
I encourage you to post this in the XE forum as well. Gives credit where credit is due - in the forum that can hugely benefit from such info.

Re: Installing WinXP Pro SP2 / Boot Camp - Drive Bay 2 - which partition?

I am stuck and I can't seem to find the answer through Google searches.
I have a Mac Pro and I am working on installing WinXP Pro SP2 on a second SATA drive. It is a 500gb drive by Western Digital and it happens to be the same size as the Mac OSX drive - 500gb.
Because they are alike in size I can't tell which is which in the installer. Here are my options:
476938mb Drive
H: Partition 1 (Unknown) - 476938 free
476938mb Drive
I: Partition 1 (Unknown) - 200mb free
C: Partion 2 (Unknown) - 476938 free
My guess is to install WinXP on the H: partition and I just want to confirm this as I don't really wish to wipe out my MacOS on the drive in Bay 1.
Can anyone confirm this? I wished this was addressed in the Boot Camp Installation Guide. They only address one drive that is partitioned, not two seperate drives. Also nothing listed shows up with the label BOOTCAMP.
Thanks in advance.
Rob

Pull your OS X drive.
XP and Vista 32-bit only give you 1.9GB of RAM.
If you don't need native access or 3D you might just want to later use it with Fusion, VirtualBox or Parallels.
Apple uses GPT (GUID) which creates those small 200MB and 128MB partitions you see that are essential.
For me, I would just format the drive as MBR, and FAT/MSDOS or if you have NTFS from MacFUSE or Paragon, format as NTFS (preferable), and pull OS X and then install.

Using WinXP Pro 64 Beta and WinXP PRO SP2?

I could not get Games (Half life, Counter Strike, Doom) to work using my beta system. Every time I launch a game the OS gives me the DEP error. I select "allow all". Still no go.
I installed the HD from my old Pentium Based PC(as slave)which is loaded with WinXP Pro SP2 and everything else in the world. I don't have the origional CD because it was loaned to me from my company(Which is why I loaded Beta to this AMD system in the first place). I work from home sometimes. (good excuse?).
I can see all of the files in the old drive using explorer. I tried launching the games from the explorer and got the same negative results.
How do I get the correct Via, AMD, MSI, etc drivers on my XP-32 bit HD so I can boot to it?
Is There a way to run both OS at same time. This chip is hypertheading, so theoretically it acts like two processors?
I now have 3 80G HD. One with WinXP ProSP2, One, 64-bit Beta, One on SATA drive with XP Home SP2 (unregistered)lost that key too--it was a disk that came with a Dell Laptop.

hi
you should really do a clean install for the OSes as the CPUs are differant and need differant drivers etc, most poeple who try to transfer HDDs have probs, until the re partition, format and install.
Many systems can co exist, the boot under XP 64 will find installations and form a boot screen to access them all. Your going to need a XP CD to reinstall I fear. but then you might be lucky, if you formatted 1 disk, loaded XP 64 bit edition and let it set the C:> drive with Boot files and drivers you might get away with it.

SATA 3GB/s Setting In WINXP Pro SP2 For K8N SLI/FI

I have been trying to resolve this issue for a while with no sucess. I have contacted numerous sources and no one can solve this so I hope you people can.
I have two SATA II 3GB/s HDDs installed on a MSI K8N SLI/FI w/ver. 1.8 BIOS. I cannot get these drives to run at 3GB/s. The drives are a WD2500KS w/02.01C03 firmware and a Seagate ST3250410AS - Barracuda 7000.10 w/3.AAA firmware. All jumpers are removed from each drive. I have tried diff. SATA cables. You name it, I tried it. This includes loading and not loading SATA driver via F6 at OS install time and using diff nVidia SATA drivers; 6.66, 6.99, etc.
The problem is that when I view the speed setting options for the nVidia SATA controller in WIN XP Pro SP2, I see all three options shown 1.5 GB, 3.0 GB, and PIO 4 with 1.5 GB set as default. I have tried to manually override to 3 GB but upon reboot, it goes back to 1.5 GB? The Seagate drive has NCQ enabled by default.
I looked at the SATA driver WIN XP registry entries for each drive and SataSpeedSupported is 3 and SataSpeedAllowed is 1? Also appears UDMA is being downgraded from 128 to 64? I have tried to override both these only again to have XP reset them back to their original values on reboot. It is as if XP will not allow any option above 1.5GB?
Finally, the drive speeds are great. I am getting avg. sustained speeds of 80 MB/s on the Seagate and around 60 MB/S on the WD per HD Tach. Also appears that the drives are running in ATA133 mode?
Is their a problem with XP SP2B recognizing newer SATA 3GB/s HDDs

As far as peaks and valleys on the HD Tach display, it's fairly smooth. Starts in the low 80s and goes to about 90 for the first 120GB or so and then gradually drops to around 50 at the end of the drive. When I was running with the default MS default PCI IDE drivers, I was getting a few large downward spikes.
Use BIOS defaults is set on by default. Setting it on or off makes no difference in setting or performance.
As far as BIOS setting to 1.5GB that's what I thought initially but on a EPOX nForce board I have that only supported 1.5GB, the 3GB option was never shown as an option. So it appears to me that the BIOS is indeed passing the 3GB setting to XP. It looks to me like XP is downgrading these drives to 1.5GB and for the life of me. I can't figure out why. What I did as a prior experiment was to set the SataSpeedActive to 2 and bumbed up the UDMASupported registry settings to the max. 127. That resulted in the 3GB option being shown as the default. Ran a couple of benchmarks at that setting but results were the same as 1.5GB except that the max. speed bar on the nVidia SATA controller showed 300MB. When I rebooted as I stated previously, the settings went back to 1.5GB in the SATA controller display.
What I am wondering is if there was an earlier ver. of the m/b that only supported 1.5GB? I bought this board a couple of months ago from the MSI online store and it was an open box sale. What is strange is the four SATA board connectors are orange and every pic. I have seem of this m/b on the web shows purple connectors? MSI swears the board I have supports 3GB SATA?
On other point. Everest shows the SATA port transfer speed at 300MB in both it's Windows and ATA device displays?
Also, when I look at the driver properties, it is shown as a PCI device. Is that right? If somehow these drives were running off the PCI bus instead of the CK08-04 chip, that would explain the speed limit factor.

Viewing Threads In WinXP Pro SP2

Hi all,
I installed Oracle 9iR2 (9.2.0.1.0) WinXP Professional SP2 and tried to use Administrative Assistant to view the background processes/threads. It seems that either there is a bug somewhere or I missed some steps. The dialog box always displayed nothing - no thread.
Here is what I've done. In Admin Assistant, I right clicked Computers->database->instance_name. I first used 'connect database'. A list of users and roles then displayed. I then chose 'Process Information' under the same menu. But the dialog box was empty. I've double verified that my database was started (i could select table in sqlplus).
Why there was no thread displayed? Did i miss some steps?
Thx for any input.

Alternate solution to your problem.
You can make use of v$bgprocess and v$process dynamic views.
Use following query
select a.name,b.spid from v$bgprocess a,v$process b where a.paddr=b.addr;
Hope so this will solve your req.

Neo2 Platinum - WinXP Pro sp2 won't restart, replaced Athlon64 with Athlon64-2

I did a cpu chip replacement of my Athlon xp 3200+ with an Athlon xp-2 3800. ($78 form NewEgg). My windows xp pro, sp2 found the chip so no new install. I used the AMD drivers for multichip and the WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU.exe to update my os.
Now, my pc won't do a restart. It closes widows but then stops without going to the bios post screen and restarting. I have to do a shutdown to off and then push my on button to get back to windows. A lot of application updates ask for restarts on installs or updates. I never had this problem with the single cpu.
Has anyone else had this occur? Is there a fix? My new cpu runs a bit hotter than the old. I get core temp. 42 C and AMD 64 temp. 41-48 C in SpeedFan. (case temp. 18 C) How does this compare with others with this board and cpu?

6210 & 6310i on PCSync 4.81 WinXP Pro SP2

Hey folks.
I've recently gotten a 6310i to the 6210 I had, now I tried using the Content Copier from 4.81 to get my contacts etc from the 6210 to the 6310i.
Weirdest behaviour ever. My connection type is Infrared. I start IR on the 6210, set it next to my Acer NB and *pop* there's a connection. I can even use Content Copier to backup my phone. (Even thought 4.81 doesn't support XP SP2)
Now I switch off my 6210 and start up my 6310i, fire up infrared on the phone, put it next to the Notebook and... Nothing. I restart my machine, set the 6310i on IR next to the Notebook, and the Nokia Connection Manager needs a while, then shows a 6310i available.
However, Content Copier finds no usable phone.
2 Questions:
1: How do I get Content Copier to recognize the 6310i and copy the backuped data onto it.
And 2: to which version of the PCSuite can I upgrade to properly run the software on XP SP2 and still get the fancy functions working on my phones?
Thanks for any help, Kai

Depends on what you consider the fancy functions ? It is really more about the fact your phone 6210 and 6310i do not support too many of the newest PC Suite (6.81.13) functions. (like you cannot really put any music to your phones, but the old Pc Suite for example had a Phone editor with messaging support that I personnally liked more than the current one))
I understand you still have both phones ? Try udgrading to Pc Suite 5.8.
You find it from www.nokia.com/pcsuite, if you select say 6230 and then windows 98se/Me version. I think it leads you to rather old 5.8, but it is certainly newer than 4.81 and I think it was the first version I used to use with my good old 6230 and XP

SB Live! WinXp Pro SP2 probl

I installed my old SB Li've! card in my new system (Athlon64 3500+, MSI K8n Neo2 Platinum). Windows recognized the card and installed its own drivers, I reboot and everything is working properly. I install the Li'veDRV-pack driver pack, which seems to go OK, I reboot, I hear part of the log on sound and then the sound cuts out. Then there is no sounds comming through the card. The creative diagnostics list everthing as a pass, and the speaker test work, but I get no sounds from windows or any applications.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall to no evail. I think this is an SP2 issue but there is no obvious error to go on.
Any ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Mike

Mdidonato,
Try this:
Go to Control Panel/Systems, then go to the advanced tab. On here there will be a button for performance Options, click on this. In here there should be a tab for Data Execution Prevention. Set this to "turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select". You will now want to add the CThelper program to the list in here, it is typically located in c:\windows\system32. Then reboot the system and see if you get sound.
The DEP error is caused by a feature on your processor called "Enhanced Virus Protection (AMD)" or "Enahanced Disable Bit (Intel)" or NX (No eXecute) Bit in non-trademark speak. This is a new way to prevent buffer overflow exploits from effecting your system, however it can have some drawbacks. Let's see if disabling this helps us fix the problem.

Synch bombs WinXP Pro SP2 on two different iPods

OK, here's my issue and I haven't seen anyone report anything quite like it.
I have two different iPods: a 60GB and a very new 160 GB Classic.
Both "fail" synch test in iTunes but the test output is not helpful in explaining "why."
I have about 40 GB of mp3 and audiobook files in iTunes.
If I "restore" either machine and put them on autosynch they will gl through importing all 6,000+ items (as indicated by the iTunes progress window) and then, suddenly, you end up looking at a blank black screen (not the GUI) with flat cursor blinking at upper left...computer hung up stone cold dead.
If you power down the computer, the iPod will recognize it has been disconnected. Examining it (both) then gives you your various playlists, mostly without content, and a few (like 8 or 10) mp3s and audiobooks at max.
If I load the playlists manually, one-by-one, I can upload all the content and the iPods work OK (but still fail synch tests).
After uploading the bulk of the material, I can put them on autosynch and make minor changes such as adding a song or two and they will synch to completion. But neither will execute a complete upload without crashing on autosynch although placing the same amount of content manually works OK.
Anyone ever see this behavior?

Pull your OS X drive.
XP and Vista 32-bit only give you 1.9GB of RAM.
If you don't need native access or 3D you might just want to later use it with Fusion, VirtualBox or Parallels.

For me, I would just format the drive as MBR, and FAT/MSDOS or if you have NTFS from MacFUSE or Paragon, format as NTFS (preferable), and pull OS X and then install.

Working on SQL Developer / pl/sql developer without installing Oracle

I just took server IP as hostname and continuing with the same/

for testing and learning purpose of self code.
thanks in advance.

No, you do not need a TNS alias (as the connection string can be build manually by the application and the driver).
So SQL*Developer needs to have an OCI (Oracle Call Interface) client driver. This can be "installed" using Oracle Instant Client.
Instant Client does not really install - to use it takes 3 basic steps:
- download it (zip file)
- unzip it to a directory (e.g. C:\InstantClient on Windows)
- add to your Windows User's environment an ORACLE_HOME variable that points to this directory
These steps should suffice in making the driver in in Instant Client available to Oracle applications. (works for me running an Oracle OCI client like <i>Mumbai</i> or Oracle's <i>SQL Data Modeler</i>).
If you want a tnsnames.ora file, then create the file and create a new environment variable called TNS_ADMIN that refers to directory location of the file. It can use the same location as your Instant Client directory.
PS. I assume you have an existing Oracle server to connect to.

K9N6PGM2-V, Win XP Pro/SP2, USB only works at USB-1 speed

Apologies is this is on an FAQ somewhere -- I did look, but didn't see it. Anyway, the USB ports work fine at USB-1 speed, but not at USB 2.0 speed. In fact, MS XP reports that there are no USB 2.0 devices available. Kinda frustrating, since the MSI manual specifically mentions USB 2.0 pin headers for this motherboard.
The PC (see signature) is built from scratch. At this point, the only software that is on it is XP Pro, SP2, and downloaded MSI drivers, and the only hardware added is the Intel Ethernet card. I installed the full package of drivers from this web page:
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1472
Specifically, I downloaded the full set ("NVIDIA_MCP61_SYSTEM_MB.zip") and installed everything except "forceware network access manager.".
One other note -- When I installed the motherboard, I connected the front panel USB connectors to the motherboard's JUSB1 connector (should I have hooked it to JUSB2?) ... however, the same behavior (USB1 speed only) happens with the built-in connectors (next to keyboard/mouse input, etc.)
Can anyone help? Thanks.

XE work with Developer tools for VS 2005? - Create package problem

I just installed Developer tools 11.1.0.6.10 Beta. When I try to create a package, the wizard create an empty body checkbox is on by default. When you choose "Edit Body," when you try to modify the dummy code and save, a message saying "Cannot create other database schema object from this window. Please use the appropriate dialogue ..." When you cancel, the body disappears from the Server Explorer.
If this is not the appropriate one, what is? (Also CREATE OR REPLACE is missing from the generated code)
I've created both spec and body from Toad and had it compile correctly, but the Server Explorer shows the body as invalid. If you try to edit, it just repeats the problem above. (There may be some connection to the issue of a different ORA home, because the Toad freeware version says it does not support OraOdac11g_home1 that shows up in the Toad Connect Using" dialog. I think I got the XE install and Tools correct - I copied my TNSNames etc from XE into the apps////blah directory, and Server Explorer connects.

Forgot. When I tried to view the stored procedure inside oracle express, nothing appeared in either the package spec or body. This is the case in installs on 2 different computers.

No wireless access with Windows XP Pro (SP2) on Macbook Pro

Hello,
Just installed Windows XP Pro (SP2) on my new Macbook Pro using Bootcamp Beta. The installation has gone fine with the exception of wireless access to the internet through my Airport home network.
I've tried all the other configuraton wizards on XP...no joy.
The three other macs in the house (2 wireless, 1 ethernet) and one Windows laptop (wireless) are all fine and dandy.
Any suggestions on what to do?

Right Click on My Computer
Select Manage
Click on Device Manager
Make sure that your Ethernet Adapters are working properly
If there is an red X or a yellow ! next to any ethernet adapter then try to reinstall the drivers.
(you can reinstall the drivers via the installation cd or double click on the hardware device under device manager. there should be a reinstall drivers button in there. point it to the CD that you burned from bootcamp)
(there will be a couple of devices that are not working properly.)

Installation of Patch Set 9.2.0.7 on Windows XP Pro SP2 fails

When I tried to apply patch set 9.2.0.7 to my 9.2.0.5 installation on a computer with MS Windows XP Pro SP2, shortly after the selection of the target Oracle home directory the installer told me to shut down a large number of Windows processes (like RAS, RPC, etc., about 30 in total) that are not related at all to the installation.
Am I getting anything wrong? Or is this a bug (as I would suspect)?

You are facing an annoying problem with Oracle installation on Windows.
It seems, some files are locked by
other processes than the Installer process.
The following workaround worked (for me):
Temporarily remove the reference to the Oracle Home at system startup
1. Rename the Oracle Home \bin directory to \bin_save
2. Reboot the system
3. Rename the bin_save directory back to bin again
4. Start patch installation again

Windows XP Pro SP2 cd-rom after downgrading from Vista

Hi everybody.
I successfully downgraded my T61p from Vista to XP Pro SP2 using the downgrade cd-roms send by Lenovo.
Everything seems to work well. I downloaded all drivers. No problem.
But I recently installed a rather old software that I frequently used on my old A31p. This software (a Microsoft program !) has automatically modified some files from XP Pro without any autorization.
Once it was done, I was asked by the system to insert the original Windows XP Pro SP2 cd-rom to repair this modification.
Of course, the (Vista to XP) downgrade cd-rom set was not recognized by the Thinkpad as the original XP set.
An original cd-rom which I finally don't have !
I tried with an original XP Pro SP2 cd-rom bought a few years ago for my A31p. Unsuccessful.
Where could I find the XP Pro SP2 cd-rom corresponding to the downgraded system ?
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
Regards.

James,
thanks for your answer.
But I wrote on my first post "I tried with an original XP Pro SP2 cd-rom bought a few years ago for my A31p. Unsuccessful."
Thus, I don't see any difference between an original Microsoft Windows XP2 Pro SP2 version cd-rom and one created by burning a downloaded version of the OS. An original was not recognized, what would a copy do ?
If possible, it might be probably better to create an XP Pro SP2 cd-rom from the "Rescue and Recovery" files which were reinstalled when downgrading from Vista to XP. (I hate the word "downgrade" : while I was doing it, I had the feeling I was upgrading my Thinkpad !)
I have been using for several years (and still use) an A31p (Since 2002, 8 to 10 hours a day) and a T42p. IMHO, the T61p is the same category of "great" notebooks. Thinkpads are really the best notebooks I have ever used. I noted no significant difference between IBM and Lenovo Thinkpads.
