WinXp SP3 (32bit OS) paging file peaks and locks up Captivate

We recently installed Captivate 4 on one of Windows XP SP3 (32bit OS). When the user is using text to voice tool, the pageing file started growing and it peaks at 1.85 GB and Captivate locks up. The PC has 2 GB of Physical memory. I had chaned the value of the paging file, but the issue still occurs. Also I upgraded the phycial memory to 4GB and it did not help either. So current work around is leave the performacne window open and watch out for paging file grwoth. Once the paging file reaches 1.5 GB, user closes out the application and that flushes out the paging file. The size of the project is approximately 90 MB.
Also we have installed the app on another machine and getting the same result.

Please, I do not understand your last posting very well. Did the user create a project, based on a PPT (2003 or 2007)? And he added Question slides (branded CP) to the project? What do you mean by creating questions/answers from the PPT-slides?

D20 + SATA ONLY + WINXP SP3 32BIT

Hi all,
Currently testing a D20 for the business and cant get the D20 to run as a SATA drive only. Currently its spinning up the Marvell controller with a 500GB drive in.
Have tried going into the BIOS and disabling the RAID controller but then I cant seem to use the HD as just a SATA drive.
The only joy I've had is plugging in a floppy disc with 32bit Marvell controller drivers booting up with WinXP 32bit, as it going through install hit F6 to install controller drivers then once I hit continue to get back to the setup/format drives I get a blue screen of death. The strange thing is if I use our WinXP SP3 32bit Microsoft licensing copy which it MUST be installed with I get this BSOD but if I through in a Dell WinXP SP3 32bit OS disc I can install the operating system no problem at all!
All I want to do really is disable the RAID controller (somehow) use SATA single drive only and install WinXP SP3 32bit using our Microsoft Licensing copy with out it blue screening!!
Any help would be fantastic!
Cheers,
Ant
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi all,
Not to worry I have managed to work it out
For all thoses that need to know too I'll post an update of instructions on how to do it in a bit after I have successfully installed the operating system
Kind regards,

How do I select multiple files under "Get File Info"and lock or unlock all?

How do I select multiple files under "Get File Info"and lock or unlock them all? It seems to do it automatically when I have 10 or more selected. But how do I lock or unlock 5 or 6 files in one swoop? Thanks

Select the desired files then press OPTION and select Show Inspector from the Finder's File menu.

File.renameTo() and locking

Hi,
I would like to rename file, but File.renameTo() will not work if the file will be locked by some other process. If other process has locked the file, I would like to wait for it to release the lock. So I have:
FileLock lock = new RandomAccessFile(file, "rw").getChannel().lock(0L, Long.MAX_VALUE, false);
file.renameTo(destFile);
lock.release();But this does not work, because file is locked and renameTo does not work (returns false).
What can I do to lock the file myself (wait for other locks to be released) and to rename it (rename does not work when file is locked).
Regards
Pawel Stawicki

hi, I don't thik you have to lock the file yourself while renaming it because that is (from my point of view) an opperating system's job to do it.
you could maybe make a
while(! file.renameTo()){
thread.sleep(1000);
to wait till its unlocked.
I'm not sure that helps but that's just an idea

Time Machine backup file corrupted and locked

This morning when I switch on my Mac there was a dialogue box telling me that my Time Machine backup file was corrupted and that Time Machine would have to create a new backup file.
I am backing up my Macs to a disk connected to my Airport Extreme. It's been working for months without any problems. Other than this morning. Time Machine buddy had the following message:
+Starting standard backup+
+Attempting to mount network destination using URL: afp://[email protected]/MyBookHome+
+Mounted network destination using URL: afp://[email protected]/MyBookHome+

+Recovery backup declined by user.+

Has anybody seen something like this before?
I now have a locked and renamed sparsebundle on my disk and backups are not working anymore.

This one is notorious for working for a while, then . . . not.
In addition to the problems above I got a pop-up from Time Machine saying the backup file is broken and it needs to create a new one. I told it to go ahead and what happened is that it actually proceeded to DELETE the old backup file before creating a new one - there goes my several months of backup history!
Yes, just as it says in the message. See #C13 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
All I can say do now is connect my drive directly to my iMac and figure out a way how I can backup my other iMac and the MacBook I have. On the AE this just worked remotely.
Yeah. Until it didn't.
Really not much options here to backup a home with 3 Macs!?!
Sure there is. Back the others up to the same drive, over your network, via sharing. See #22 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for details and setup instructions.

WinXP SP3 and Boot Camp 2.1 | Win BSOD ATI card not correct!

Configuration:
Loaded and OEM WinXP SP3 on an iMac with Boot Camp V2.0. All worked correctly.
Immediately after Boot Camp 2.0 completed installed Boot Camp V2.1. All worked correctly.
Problem:
Working in Windows the OS triggered a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) after the OS was up for approximately 10 minutes. This was a repeatable problem.
Investigation:
Downloaded Windows DeBug utility to analyze the crash dump files from the BSODs. For reference on how to read the Windows dmp files and how to use Windows DeBug utility see the following link.
http://www.networkworld.com/news/2005/041105-windows-crash.html
Determined that the fault was caused by a driver file ati2mtag.sys.
Checked the version with the latest availble from the manufacturer ATI. It was the most recent version
Analysis:
In Windows right click on My Computer, go to Properties.
Go to the Hardware tab in Properties, and then to the Device Manager, drop down the Display adapters. The model shown was a Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT!
This is WRONG, the video card in this iMAC is a ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro.
Conclusion:
Windows and or Boot Camp loaded the incorrect video drivers for the video card.
Solution:
1. Download and install Dot Net 2.0 because the ATI driver installer requires this level to install required drivers. The download is available at the following link.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD -AAB15C5E04F5&displaylang=en
2. Go to ATI driver support page and download the latest Catalyst driver for 32-bit XP.
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/radeonx-xp
3. After download, launch the installer, just proceed with the installer until it gets to the point where it pops up an error message saying that the installer could not find a suitable driver for your hardware.
4. Close out the installer and right click on My Computer, go to Properties.
5. Go to the Hardware tab in Properties, and then to the Device Manager, drop down the Display adapters, and you should see Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT, this is incorrect.
6. Right click on the video card and choose Update Driver, you will be now see a Hardware Update Wizard.
7. It says Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software? Select No, not this time, and click Next... Now you should see What do you want wizard to do? Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced), and click Next.... On the next page select Don't Search. I will choose the driver to install, click Next....
8. On the lower right corner of the Wizard, Have Disk... Now click Browse and go to C: > ATI > Support > Driver, and select the inf file in there, click Open.
9. Scroll through to locate and then select ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro, and install that, you might get a message saying this driver isn't certified, ignore it and continue.
10. After completion, reboot.
My system is now running correctly, no more BSOD's!

hmm, is it possible that the same problem of the imac is mine on the macpro with 2 ati 2600 cards?
from where do you know that the recginized xt card is wrong and it must the pro version? cause of the 256mb to 512mb at the offical xt version?
plz take a look at my problem thread:

Customizing Paging File: what is the recommended initial and maximum size?

Hi everyone, and Harm,
Following Harm's response to my question about how to setup disks, Harm said this:
"disk allocation: It is a three stage process, first you define the boot order in the BIOS, then you format the disks inWindows and allocate drive letters, then still in Windows you setup the pagefile. Then the allocation of media cache, preview, project etc. is done in the preferences and project setup of PR."
and I have a question about paging file.
First let me say describe my new machine, it has a 4 disc setup, no RAID, 16GB RAM, with OCZ-Vertex3 for OS & Programs, i.e. i have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on this disc, and Web Premium CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9. In BIOS, i have made the OCZ (OS) disk, be the priority in the Boot order.
Later, after verifying the system is in working order, i will upgrade to Classic Collection CS5.5, so at this point, i have named my 3 additional disks as such,
WDC WD 2002FAEX-007BA0 - "Media Projects(D)"
WDC WD 1002FAEX-00Y9A0 - "Pagefile, Media Cache (E)"
WDC WD 1002FAEX-00Y9A0 - "Previews, Exports(F)"
So, for now these are simply names, which i have given to the various disks, and now i am changing the paging file, switching it from happening in the OS disk, in order to happen inthe disk which (via Premier, later) will be designated for Media Cache.
So, in Windows Performance Options pane, I went to Advanced tab, & under Virtual memory I hit "change", uncheck Automatically manage paging file size for all drives, select drive E, which is the disk that's to have the paging file happen in it.
And the question, assuming that i am supposed to select Custom size, can you Harm, or/and others, please recommend the Initial and Maximum sizes?
Or, should i select "System managed size"?
Thanks:)

Keep in mind Video/Animation applications use more ram now than almost any other type and there are far more memory hungry services running in the background as well. Consider the normal recommendations are for standard applications. HD material changed far more than just the need for 64Bit memory addressing.

DESPERATE HELP PLS: WinXP, SP3: Creative Console and other elements crashing

LDESPERATE HELP PLS: WinXP, SP3: Creative Console and other elements crashingRHi all. Hoping someone out there can help; I've been going around in circles for far too long on this.
Exec summary:
WinXP, SP3, Audio finally is working, Creative Console launches but crashes consistently. Diagnostics fails, on-screen could not install.
System:
WinXP, SP3
Story
I had an original X-Fi card that came with my Dell XPS70 3 years ago. Working perfectly, until I upgraded to WinXP, SP3 (from SP2).
BAM - lots of BSODs, always in ha20x2k.sys. Many times, all networking would just stop, and the BSOD would happen when shutting down the computer. Networking would fail 00% everytime I watched any kind of video (news, youtube, whatever).
Couldn't find more current drivers, bought X-Fi ExtremeGamer card from Frys. Could not get this to install off the package CD, new card was not recognized by Windows. Install would always hang on "On-Screen display" (I have a dual monitor system - should that matter?)
Eventually, downloaded more current drivers and console app from the Creative website and got audio working. Console will now launch but the moment I try to change something in the EQ panel, the console crashes, 00% of the time. Other Creative apps (e.g. diagnostics) fail with this error:? "The audio device supported by this application may not be present or may be operating in an unsupported mode..."
I haven't been able to "cleansweep" my system, the link in this (Creative) forum is broken.
REALLY hoping someone can help get this working... Have spent 2 days away from business to try to make this work properly, and am out of things to try.
Thanks,
Jerry

I should add - I have NO interest in gaming, just looking for high-end audio...

What is recommended size of System drive to keep operating system files , paging files and Memory Dump of hyper-v host.

Hi ,
I want to setup hyper-v host with 128 GB RAM , Windows 2012 R2
What is recommended size of System drive to keep operating system files , paging files and Memory Dump?
I tested to using 150 GB , but when the server is crashed, there is no free space to keep memory dump file.
Ramy

Hi Ramy,
For Server 2012R2 the absolute minimum system drive is 32Gb but this assume you have limited RAM or have your Page file located on another drive. It used to be best practice to setup a small page file but MS PFE now suggest leaving windows to manage
the page file size.
Obviously this is not always possible depending on the amount of RAM in the system, but base the system drive around this or offload the Page file to perhaps another drive. On top of this you also need space for the memory dump to be written, potentially
again up to the size of the RAM. Assuming you fire the machine back up after a crash, you need space for the OS, the Page File plus space for the associated dump file.
There is a nice little article here that maybe of assistance: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13383.best-practices-for-page-file-and-minimum-drive-size-for-os-partition-on-windows-servers.aspx

PM7 and WinXP SP3

Following a disaster, I replaced the primary HDD on my home PC with a brand new one last wekend.
After re-installing WinXP, MSO2K3, CS2, the thousands of updates which took hours and a call to Adobe for new activiation code as I wasn't able to de-activate, there being an HDD failure, I can confidently assert that PM7 (followed by the updates to PM7.0.1a) installs perfectly. And yes, there is a minor error/typo somewhere in the PM7.0.1a update which calls it PM7.0.1.
And my positively ancient T1 fonts (Gill Sans, Times New RomanPS and Courier) from 1991 were all added by the windows Font manager as expected and without a hitch.
Export… AdobePDF… also worked perfectly first time with PM figuring it all out by itelf with Distiller 7. (My default printer is an HP Laserjet 2300PS which probably helps.)
So for anyone who is having problems with PM7 and WinXP SP3, I can only conclude that years of accumulated windows junk is where to look.
As they say with windows, if a re-boot doesn't solve, re-install!
Iechyd da! John

Not enough information, but my best guess is a: INstalling SP3 always
reenables the (new) Firewall. Potentially your GPO doesn't always take,
and needs several reboots.
But to find out what's going on, the details of the clntrust status is
needed, and potentially a lan trace. If the clntrust tstus doesn't show
any requests (and that's my guess), then my guess becomes almost
certain.

Problem opening Canon 6D RAW even after upgrade today to PS CS6, WinXP-SP3

Givens: PS CS5>CS6 upgrade via $199USD download today, Non-CC upgrade. OS: WinXP SP3, camera: Canon 6D RAW (.CR2 files) and prefer to work on RAWs via Bridge.
Main goal: view Canon 6D files in Bridge, do adjustments, open via ACR into PS CS6 for further work.
My fav workflow for photos is: Bridge>ACR>PS. Just got a Canon 6D camera. So I updated to PS CS6 today and I did go through PS CS6 menu: help>update mechanism for all available updates, which was one round of ACR (and Bridge) updates, no more were offered. That brought ACR from v7.0.0.308 to v7.1.0.354--still could not see Canon 6D RAW files. I went to Adobe.com and did manual download for ACR/DNG 7_3 but it did not enable Bridge to see my new camera files nor could I open the 6D .CR2 files in PS. Got PS error message about not recognizing filetype, update ACR, etc (which of course I just attempted). (Seems as through PS and Bridge did not know the ACR/DNG 7.3 "existed" IF that is a capability).
Then I tried to install ACR 8.7 from the "Fix your 6D RAW problems page" and got error messages in PS CS6 (perhaps bc I am on 32-bit system). Decided to start from scratch; uninstalled PS CS6 upgrade.
Secondary issue is: Now I have uninstalled PS CS6 and done System Restore to the point just after I downloaded PS CS6 upgrade. I want to reinstall but the installer fails. Support chat told me to download PS CS6 Upgrade again (doing that now), then reinstall.
Solve: Main problem: Be able to work on Canon 6D RAW through Bridge and ACR (prefer NOT to workaround with DNG if possible) At time of writing, as mentioned, I am downloading PS CS6 upgrade again, then plan to reinstall. If that works, then I need steps to update ACR so that I can work on 6D RAWs through Bridge and ACR. Please know that going through Photoshop's Help>Update mechanism does NOT seem to work. Do I need manual updates? If so, please direct me to the correct ones and order of procedure to execute this upgrade successfully.
Many thanks, Paul

Yammer, thanks for the info about Camera Raw 8.3--that is my goal to load PS CS6 Upgrade and update to Camera Raw 8.3 Currently, I am having problems installing PS CS6 upgrade after uninstall. I have used Adobe CC Cleaner several times. It seemed to help, and the installer proceeded further with next try. Then I looked and there was no PS CS6 icons. I have done system restore also several times and am about to try again. It seems that my original PS CS6 upgrade installed, but when I tried to load ACR update, problems arose. Is there a way to remove recent version Camera Raw remnants from my computer. There is no Photoshop CS6 folder and further none for the CameraRaw.8bi for PS CS6. One possible clue: Yesterday I did two upgrades: 1) PS CS4>CS5 via box, then 2) PS CS5.CS6 on-line download non-CC. In one round of update, I saw that PS CS*5* Extension Manager failed to update. Seems unrelated but mentioned here for thoroughness.
Running ACR 8.3 in XP SP3 would be most useful and timely today as I have work to do. Many thanks, Paul

ESE - Event Log Warning: 906 - A significant portion of the database buffer cache has been written out to the system paging file...

Hello -
We have 3 x EX2010 SP3 RU5 nodes in a cross-site DAG.
Multi-role servers with 18 GB RAM [increased from 16 GB in an attempt to clear this warning without success].
We run nightly backups on both nodes at the Primary Site.
Node 1 backup covers all mailbox databases [active & passive].
Node 2 backup covers the Public Folders database.
The backups for each database are timed so they do not overlap.
During each backup we get several of these event log warnings:
Log Name:      Application
Source:        ESE
Date:          23/04/2014 00:47:22
Event ID:      906
Task Category: Performance
Level:         Warning
Keywords:      Classic
User:          N/A
Computer:      EX1.xxx.com
Description:
Information Store (5012) A significant portion of the database buffer cache has been written out to the system paging file. This may result in severe performance degradation.
See help link for complete details of possible causes.
Resident cache has fallen by 42523 buffers (or 27%) in the last 903 seconds.
Current Total Percent Resident: 26% (110122 of 421303 buffers)
We've rescheduled the backups and the warning message occurences just move with the backup schedules.
We're not aware of perceived end-user performance degradation, overnight backups in this time zone coincide with the business day for mailbox users in SEA.
I raised a call with the Microsoft Enterprise Support folks, they had a look at BPA output and from their diagnostics tool. We have enough RAM and no major issues detected.
They suggested McAfee AV could be the root of our problems, but we have v8.8 with EX2010 exceptions configured.
Backup software is Asigra V12.2 with latest hotfixes.
We're trying to clear up these warnings as they're throwing SCOM alerts and making a mess of availability reporting.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks in advance

Having said all that, a colleague has suggested we just limit the amount of RAM available for the EX2010 DB cache
Then it won't have to start releasing RAM when the backup runs, and won't throw SCOM alerts
This attribute should do it...

Problem opening 32bit HDR tif file

Hi
This is driving me mad. I've searched the forum and there are several similar posts, none of which solve this problem, so I'm posting a new thread.
Essential stuff:
CS5 v12.0.3 x32
Windows Vista 2G RAM
Memory usage in CS5 performance preferences set to 59% (I've tried everything from 10% to 90%)
Windows Virtual Memory set to 4G
Scratch disk has 20G free
I've already tried deleting the preferences file
The file it can't open is a 32bit HDR tif, 135Mb (hardly huge). I immediately get the error "Could not complete your request because there is not enough memory (RAM)" - yes, I've goggled this but the suggested solutions don't help. It routinely opens 32bit HDR tif files of about 35Mb, so I'm guessing the problem is something to do with the file size.
If anyone can help I'd be eternally grateful
Thanks
Doug

2 GB isn't really a lot of RAM to have in your system by today's standards, though one would think it would be enough that you should be able to open a single 135 MB file...
What's the pixel count in that file?
How was the file created?
I just started a fresh copy of Photoshop CS5 32 bit and it seems to be taking about 200 MB in RAM, before opening any image.
Just guessing at the image size, I created and saved a 141,193,460 byte 32 bit TIFF file. Opening that file, peak memory usage by Photoshop (program and data) was a hair under 500 MB.
Given that your OS should be using no more than about 500 MB to 1 GB of RAM, this should still leave space available for you to open this one file.
Have you tried creating and saving another file of equal size, and opening that? Doing so could help determine whether perhaps the file you're trying to open is somehow corrupted, or whether it's a basic RAM problem.

Paging file counter

Hi,
O server we have these page file counters:
\Paging File(\??\C:\pagefile.sys)\% Usage
\Paging File(\??\C:\pagefile.sys)\% Usage Peak
\Paging File(_Total)\% Usage
\Paging File(_Total)\% Usage Peak
But only _Total counter has some values like:
\Paging File(_Total)\% Usage - 29
\Paging File(_Total)\% Usage Peak - 37
Page file is located in C:\pagefile.sys and has manually assigned 4096MB.
My question is why other two counters are 0 and does not have data?
\Paging File(\??\C:\pagefile.sys)\% Usage
\Paging File(\??\C:\pagefile.sys)\% Usage Peak
Thanks.

Hi,
Did your system have the light load?
Or you set the incorrect performance counter? You can refer the following similar thread solution to confirm you performance counter configuration:
The solution in the similar case solution:
win key + r --> perfmon --> add counter --> paging file --> % usage
