XP Embedded updates

We built several dozen systems using Windows XP Embedded SP3. We downloaded updates from the Microsoft Embedded Download Center but when we try to apply the updates that are post April 2014 we get the message "wrong version of Windows". One
of our customers did apply the updates successfully after adding the POSReady hack to the Registry.
First question:
What can we do so that the updates recognize the computers as XP Embedded without resorting to the POSReady hack?
Second question:
How can our customer remove the POSReady hack. Their IT department is furious with them. Apparently the keys under "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA" cannot be deleted
or changed while booted up in Windows. The several computers involved are scattered around the world and have only a Remote Desktop type of access. There are no personnel at these locations without extensive travel

Sorry I did not recognize WES2009 as Windows XP Embedded and POSReady looked close. I will try that forum. Thanks.
The POSReady hack ( see: http://www.zdnet.com/registry-hack-enables-continued-updates-for-windows-xp-7000029851/ ) has circulated through the Internet. You insert the registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
"Installed"=dword:00000001
It is intended for XP Home and Professional. Windows Update thinks it is updating POSReady so updates to XP continue to work presumably until 2019 or until Microsoft shuts it off.

Maintaining Cell Style with data update

Having a difficult time trying to maintaining the styles and characteristics (built in ID) of a table from Excel when we update the link to refresh the data. I have read old threads and went through the proper process of creating; Character, then Paragraph, then Cell Styles, then a Table style but no luck with the Table style. (Like the example in the video; which I agree don't believe it fully works) But even just using Cell Styles, the data, when updated, is reverted back to it's original plain input and you manually have to apply the Cell Styles.
How can I prevent having to manually do that process/ get the Table Style to work? Is there a setting or check box that need to be checked when importing the data or relinking/updating the file? Please help....using CS3.
thanks,
Ed

What options are you using when Placing the file? From Help http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6f41a.html:
Formatted Table
InDesign tries to preserve the same formatting used in Excel, although the formatting of text within each cell may not be preserved. If the spreadsheet is linked rather than embedded, updating the link will override any formatting applied to the table in InDesign.
Unformatted Table
The table is imported without any formatting from the spreadsheet. When this option is selected, you can apply a table style to the imported table. If you format text using paragraph and characters styles, the formatting is preserved even if you update the link to the spreadsheet.
Unformatted Tabbed Text
The table is imported as tab-delimited text, which you can then convert to a table in InDesign or InCopy.
Formatted Only Once
InDesign preserves the same formatting used in Excel during the initial import. If the spreadsheet is linked rather than embedded, formatting changes made to the spreadsheet are ignored in the linked table when you update the link. This option isn’t available in InCopy.
I never use linked Excel files, but it looks to me like you should be using the second option: Unformatted Table.

IPod Software updater in iTunes 7.0 wont Update my iPod

Every time I try to update my iPod's software from 1.1 to 1.2 using the embedded updater in 7.0, I get a message saying that the update cant be completed because the iPod is in use by another program. I tried deselecting the Disk Use option but it's greyed out! I've also tried closing iTuneshelper.exe and iPodservice.exe - but no use- Please Help...

replying to carnevales
I'm having a similar problem, but it says that it cannot update my ipod because I am not connected to the internet.

Where does iTunes 7 keep the iPod software?

Hi All,
I work in technical support and am a bit let down by the current embedded iPod updater in iTunes 7. This works ok except for one thing, after downloading the latest iPod updater from within iTunes 7, i want to transfer the updater to various machines. Searching the libraries came up with nada. Only once i opened up the iTunes 7 package did i find "iPodUpdater.framework" in contents. It also appears that a different updater is downloaded for each model of iPod as opposed to the old stand-alone all-in-one iPod updater. So, Where does iTunes 7 keep the iPod software? We are very bandwidth challenged in my country so it is very handy to be able to keep the latest updates on an external drive, usb disk, etc.
While the embedded updater is nice and clever i think a bit more needs to be done, maybe put it into the Application Support Folder or something?
Thank you in advance

Thanx for your reply SeaBeast.
Erm, ok maybe I'm not being clear.
Pre iTunes7: iPod's were updated using the iPod updater application located in /Applications/Utilities. This could be downloaded as a standalone app and showed up in software updater when updating of the app was required. Easy.
iTunes7:iPod updater is now part of iTunes. Updates are downloaded from within iTunes ( iPod model specific it seems ) and sometimes it has to be forced to update, see
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060912144151766
Where does it keep these downloaded updates?
Does it modify the existing "iPod Updater 2006-06-28.app"?
To my knowledge it is now seperate from this. If it was still seperate i could download it from Apple as a stand-alone but as far as i can see this is no longer the case. Please help. Maybe I'm just being a ******* and missing something simple here.
Thanx again.

After updating to Flash version 11.6.602.171 - can no longer play any embedded videos..and worse

To begin with, I'm running a clean AMD 64 Bit Windows 7 System. Never any problems with any of my video playing scenarios - until now - with this version 11.6.602.171.
After downloading and installing both versions - both for Firefox (other browsers) and IE, none of my browsers can play videos unless they are at their lowest resolution of 240.
So I used the Adobe Flash Uninstaller and ensured that the last vestages of Flash Player were removed - and reinstalled - all to no avail.
Then I downloaded the archived version of 10.3 to see if a previous version would work. But that wouldn't work either. None of my browsers will play videos now and I'm talking:
IE 10
Firefox 19.01
Avant Browser
Google Chrome
Google Chromium
Commodo Dragon
Commodo Ice Dragon
Opera
Waterfox
Pale Moon
None will play the video.
What you get is the video screen but unless you have a 240 option (lowest resolution), all you get is a green screen. You hear the talking/music, but there is no picture and all the green screen does is flash. Here's a JPG of the screen. If you put your cursor anywhere on the progress meter (arrow) it will show you a small image of what's supposed to be playing (see below), but the screen remains green and flashes while playing.
Now here is where it gets interesting. When I completely uninstall Adobe Flash Player and then go to a You Tube embedded video (on any site), there first appears a screen that tells you that you need a plug-in - but then within seconds (without downloading anything), the movie starts playing normally.
I then checked my Firewall (Zone Alarm) - turned it off temporarily - that wasn't the problem. Then checked my latest version of Avast AntiVirus software and temporarily turned it off - that was not the problem either. The videos still won't work and remain green unless you use the lowest resolution.
So this new version 11.6.602.171 has become a nightmare - but I'm afraid it messed up my system big time and I don't know what to do to alleviate this.
Crying HELP!!!!!!!!!!   Is there something I'm overlooking. I'm now screwed - way to go Adobe for releasing such a faulty software product.

Sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

QuickTime 7.5.5, Cannot Play Embedded Video on this Update

I recently updated te the latest version of QuickTime Update (7.5.5), and for some reason, I cannot view emedded or streaming video...for example the new promos and TV commercials on Apple.com, etc...I see the QuickTime logo, with a large question mark in front of it....am I missing a plugin of some sort, or what's the deal? It worked fine before? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi I'm having the same problem over here.
Quicktime worked just fine before the major iTunes update a few days ago. I first noticed this problem when I couldn't see Apple's new commercials for the new iPod touch games on their website, and then tonight, as I was on the interblag, any embedded audio or video content wouldn't play, but instead just stared at me with a "?" mark.
Even sites that have a "download" link for audio (the ones where once you click on the link you are taken to a dark grey screen with just the quicktime player in the middle and the song will start playing), you know, the ones where you have to right-click the links and choose "Download Linked File" won't work, because when you right-click the link and choose "Download Linked File", your Safari download will stop and say "error- missing file" or something like it.
To rule out any easy fixes that you might have in mind,
- Latest hardware/software (iMac 3.06GHz, Leopard 10.5.5, All software up-to-date...)
- Tried re-intsalling quicktime (which requires computer restarts)
- Tried trashing quicktime THEN re-installing quicktime
- Tried re-installing quicktime, then re-installing flip4mac
- Tried threatening my computer verbally
Along with xharris, any help with this problem would be lovely.

How to request - Updating an embedded image in a PDF using Actions but not all actions are recorded

i am trying to create an Action in CS3 but some of my actions are not been recorded.
What i want to do is run the Batch option on a folder with a 1,000 PDFs in it. The PDFs
(which were created in Illustrator CS3) consist of a single page with a single embedded
image at the foot of the page. I am trying to update that embedded image.
The Actions i am trying to record are...
1) Select the single image in the Links palette.
2) Choose the "Relink.." option in the drop down menu of the Links palette.
3) Navigate to the new image and select "Place".
4) Save and close document.
But the first two actions are not been recorded.
How do i get around this problem ?
Note: From trying this manually the new image seems to take on the horizontal and
vertical scaling of the previous image which is what i want. But if i am going to have to
do a script then that is a factor that may have to be incorporated into the script.
Any help appreciated.

Give this a trial… It does a save as which is much safer than overwriting… At least you still have your originals should I get something wrong…? I did test but only with 3 files…
#target illustrator
function replaceImage() {
          var i, doc, fileList, inFolder, outFolder, opts, pic, rep, rip, saveFile, uIL;
          inFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Please choose your Folder of AI PDFs…' );
          outFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Please choose a Folder to save AI PDFs in…' );
          pic = File.openDialog( 'Please choose your replacement Image…' );
          if ( inFolder != null && outFolder != null && pic != null ) {
                    fileList = inFolder.getFiles( /\.pdf$/i );
                    if ( fileList.length > 0 ) {
                              uIL = app.userInteractionLevel;
                              app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
                              for ( i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++ ) {
                                        doc = app.open( fileList[i] );
                                        rip = doc.rasterItems[0].position;
                                        rep = doc.placedItems.add();
                                        rep.file = pic;
                                        rep.move( doc.rasterItems[0], ElementPlacement.PLACEBEFORE )
                                        rep.position = rip;
                                        rep.resize( 31.414, 31.414, true, true, true, true, 100, Transformation.TOPLEFT );
                                        doc.rasterItems[0].remove();
                                        rep.embed();
                                        opts = new PDFSaveOptions();
                                        opts.pDFPreset = '[Illustrator Default]';
                                        saveFile = File( outFolder + '/' + doc.name );
                                        doc.saveAs( saveFile, opts );
                                        doc.close( SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES );
                              app.userInteractionLevel = uIL;
                    } else {

How do I make an embedded Javascript element(embedded MS Excel chart) automatically refresh so that viewers do not have to refresh the entire page to get updated information.

I am creating a web page that features an embedded chart made by MS Excel. I would like the chart to automatically update(refresh) to show viewers live information without having to refresh the entire page. I have found that there is a way to enable this through Excel but with my current subscription cannot access that feature. I am hoping that there is a way to achieve this using Adobe Muse CC. If it is not possible, I would like to know if there is a way to add a "refresh" button that refreshes only the embedded section(Excel Chart) of the page for viewers to use manually. Thank you for your help.

Update! The embedded spreadsheet is actually embedded using HTML rather than javascript.

Embeded Flash files stop loading part way through after update to 10.2

Hello, I am currently having an issue with Flash. After the last update to 10.2, flash files, both audio and video, stop loading part way through them and do not start up again. For instance, on youtube, about 2 minutes worth of video will load but load slowly and then stop completely. The only way to get it to advance is to click past the section that has loaded and it will load the next 2 minutes. On Myspace Music, a song plays about 40 seconds each time and stops completely and will not load anymore, even if I try to skip to another part of the song. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit edition with Firefox 4.0 Beta 12 64 bit edition as well. Also I have tried clearing my cache, cookings, temp files, removing and installing Flash countless times, including older versions, as well as tried Google Chrome and IE. All give me the exact same issue no matter what I do. It is really frustrating because I cannot watch or listen to anything embeded in Flash online without having to keep clicking the next section every little bit. If anyone can help, please do and I thank you.

Hi, Since your OS is a 64bit, are you using the 32bit browser for IE? I see you have the FF beta. Have they come out with a 64bit browser? I don't follow the FF beta so if that's true, it's news to me.
Let me know,
Thanks,

Payload XML DOM Object Update using Java Embedding

Hi,
I have a Java Embedding activity which updates the payload after making
a call to a local EJB. The EJB sends back updated information. In my Java
Embedding activity i try to update the payload nodes with the new information.
It get's really cumbersome to do this sort of thing in BPEL. Basically i am trying
to remove an existing node in the payload and replace it with a new node.
I did so may things that i really don't remember what are they. Finally i managed to
update the payload with the following code.
org.w3c.dom.Element payload = (org.w3c.dom.Element)getVariableData("inputVariable","payload","/MSG");
org.w3c.dom.Element oldNode = (org.w3c.dom.Element)getVariableData("inputVariable","payload","/MSG/TSLData");
org.collaxa.thirdparty.dom4j.Element tslElem = com.collaxa.cube.xml.dom.DOMFactory.convertToCollaxaElement(oldNode);
oldNode = (org.w3c.dom.Element)getVariableData("inputVariable","payload","/MSG/REC");
payload.removeChild(oldNode);
msgElem = com.collaxa.cube.xml.dom.DOMFactory.convertToCollaxaElement(payload);
msgElem.add(recElem);
I feel that there no proper interface to update the data in the payload values with
nodes, string etc. It would be nice if we don't have to work with
com.collaxa.cube.xml.dom.DOMFactory
org.collaxa.thirdparty.dom4j.Element
the collaxa classes.
We need to have more than setVariableData, bascally good payload manipulation API's.
Let me know if there are any alternatives to do this.
Thanks,
Senthil L

I have been having the same difficulties. Were you able to find any documentation or javadocs for the Collaxa libraries? If so, I would greatly appreciate locating them.

Correct procedure to update Embedded Controller Programme - T43

Dear Forum,
Could somebody please describe the best way to safely update 'Embedded Controller Programme' in a T43?
- The computer is a Thinkpad T43 1871 PM1 machine
- BIOS Version is 1.29
- Embedded Controller Version is 1.03
- Apparently this is the correct current Embedded Controller Version http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-59439
- Should I boot the machine into safe mode rather than regular startup?
- Should I deactivate my firewall (PCTools), my anti-virus (Avast) and Malwarebytes from running at startup before I shut my machine down?
- Are there any other specific programmes I need to shut down? (eg. IBM Access or any of the IBM updates?)
- Does the controller update require internet access? Or should I also disconnect the computer from the web?
Thank you!! :-)
Harryredknapp

Hi Harry,
There is no need to boot the machine in Safe Mode, and yes it would be good idea to deactivate your firewall and antivirus products for the time being while the controller program is being updated.
When I run BIOS update, I don't turn off any Thinkvantage tools so in my experience they don't interfere with the update process, and as far as I know the controller program doesn't require internet access (if you're doing manual update from the setup saved on your thinkpad).
Hope it helps.

Embedding PDF in PDF with Dynamic update

This is what we do today. We use MS-Word for a Shop Floor instruction system. The instructions are Word documents displayed on their PC, but these Document could have embedded other documents by which when they are displayed, the embedded document show the most recent revisions. That way the base document can remain static and an elements within the document can change and when viewed in time, the resulting base document can actually have different instructions because the embedded document had revisions.
Questions, does Adobe provide a similar capability that I can embed a document inside a document and the embedded document is not static, but would display the content of the changed embedded document.?

Other Adobe tools could help you achieve some of this capabilty -- like Adobe FrameMaker can import files by reference and therefore are automatically updated when the referenced document is updated. But, as you're probably aware, this needs to be used in tandem with a document management system that can provide version control on all the documents floating around.
