• ViewPlanner fails when the "Connect-Start-workload.

  Hello

  I am working on installing a reference ViewPlanner, ViewPlanner 3.5 environment local.

  I created the Office of the GoldenRDSH and the Viewplanner device, without AD.

  I used Windows 7 32 bit under my desk and Office installed (2010..) and all the necessary applications and tools.

  Managed to do the check option, and there is no problems/errors.

  However, when I do the execution phase, it fails on the "Connect-Start-workload.

  Attached, the screenshots of the desktop and web appliance GUI.

  It seems that the ViewPlanner agent is installed incorrectly.

  There are two packs zip for Agent of VP (1) for desktop PC (2) to the client.

  It seems that this client package is installed in the office instead of an office. You can install the agent desktop of VP and try again?

• Why does take so long for my network connections start?

  My parents are on XP and have for years, it has had about 17 minutes for network connections to start when we turn on the computer - the wireless icon does not appear in the status bar before that date.

  We cannot open up IE or Firefox, until connections have loaded.

  I tried to disable all non-essential services and progs from startup in msconfig, no effect.

  I used a fixed register program to correct the mistakes of reg. Also did chkdsk.

  I uninstalled a ton of unused programs that might have hidden services (e.g. HP!).

  Have installed and run internet security package again.

  Interestingly, if I boot mode safe mode with networking, the icons don't still seems immediately (although I did; t wait 17 minutes!), but I can't use firefox to access the internet.

  This is driving me crazy! Can anyone help?

  Hi rmw3,

  ·         Did you also check if disable the antivirus software does the same thing?

  Check if you have tried the following.

  Method 1: Temporarily disable the antivirus on the computer program and check if the problem persists.

  Note:  Check that you activate your anti-virus protection on the computer back after you complete these steps. It is not recommended to disable these settings on the computer. It's just to solve the problem.

  Method 2: You can check if this article helps.

• Could not connect in Windows 8, but connected start in desktop mode

  I purchased this new HP laptop for Christmas, came home and went through the set up process, I did not create a microsoft account only then, I just jumped to implement later, well, I just create a new account of microsoft and went through the verification process and all , but I still can't use one of the applications in the start menu of windows 8, whenever I try to use one, it will not connect, it says that it cannot connect and I'm connected, in fact I'm on my laptop right now with a full connection in desktop mode, but none of the applications will sign the start mode of windows 8.   Can anyone help?

  First, clear the cache of the Store by opening a run window (Windows Logo key + R), by typing wsreset and pressing ENTER.

  If there is not cure, check your internet connection, i.e. press the Windows Logo key + X (or right-click or press and hold on the lower left corner) and choose Control Panel > small icons > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN Settings (bottom) and remove the Proxy Server tick > OK, etc.

• compilation of cloud connection Start

  I would use the cloud with my CRIO compilation.

  That's why I created an account, I can't use so far.

  They Login-window request a username, but I not, when you look in my account of Cloud Gate.

  Only, I have set up an account to cloud last week.  Your username is the email address used to register for the account.

• How to remove the user account from the connection Start Page (therefore restart goes directly to the desktop without the need for any clickthru)?

  On my Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit system, all I had to do was to remove all the accounts (other than 'administrator') in addition to my login information main user account and remove the password of the Admin account and I use a main user account, and then whenever I reboot, reboot goes all the way to the Windows desktop (i.e. through it does not stop with a cover page showing the user account).

  -It does not seem that this approach works for my Vista SP2 Business Edition 32 bit.  In fact - I get TWO accounts of user with the exact name even appear (my account "DougL12"), as well as the "Administrator" account  None of these accounts have passwords (I can just click on one of them, which brings up a screen to enter a password, then click again without entering any PW, and then I get thru on my desk).

  When I go to 'User accounts' control Panal and select 'Manage another account', windows displays a screen showing three accounts:

  (1) "Guest" (power off);

  (2) "DougL12" (hey I am running, whose B-T-W has privileges admin; also do not have a password); and

  (3) 'administrator' (which, if I choose only, is not an option 'disable', although it has not one)

  (password).

  NOTE: page does not display "" versions of the user account "DougL12", although the login screen that is telling.

  so:

  (1) what do I do to eliminate the appearance of user accounts / Login Screen (i.e., default to my main user

  Account, "DougL12" and should not click)?

  (2) any thoughts as to why the system could be displaying two Occurrences of the user account Login "DougL12" on the

  login screen?

• Problems connecting to internet - says network cable disconnected, not sure I have the correct driver installed.

  Had a big storm - got the new modem.  but they said that my drivers where missing or damaged.  Downloaded Marvell Yukon of gateway - to the GT5432 model. Always says cable unplugged network. However, Bishop says peripheral device works correctly. Don't save: no update-unable to connect to the internet.  I uninstalled and reinstalled; rebboted, etc. - still nothing. It has a problem with the PCI connection - no driver, but I don't see anywhere to down load or know what to download. Oh and another adapter on - think 1394 - when I turn that on and off the wonder; It shows the signal for the 1394---400 and does not say his unplugged, but still can not connect to internet.
  The "old" computer to try to find information; noticed that said, unplugged network cable but it allowed me to connect to the internet. When I disabled the 'extra' adapter message there went, speed signal only at 100 than at the 'old' calculation is not any other PCI devices connection listed.

  I'm not sure of what continues.

  The 1st computer was working fine - then picked it up to move it to where it belonged to my office and that's when he went out-made no sense to me!

  Because you seem comfortable opening your computer, have you tried re - a corner of the map (with power off, remove the card and reinsert it into the slot, be sure to exercise static precautions if you are in an environment of low-hu7midity).  If there is an empty slot, you can also move the map Marvell to another location.  See the comments below.

  It's a long shot, because even if you did not provide the complete ipconfig output, the data that you have provided appeared to be normal, but...

  Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
  Right-click on the icon for your network adapter, and then select Properties
  You should see a screen like this--> http://screenshots.modemhelp.net/screenshots/Windows_XP/Network_Connections/Local_Area_Connection/Properties/General/Index.shtml
  Issues related to the:
  In the upper area, under 'Connect using' said 'Marvell Yukon 88E8039 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller?  If this is not the case, what does say?

  In the second box, what are the items are listed under "this connection uses the following items"?

  The only other thing I can think is that the Marvell Ethernet card was damaged in the same storm that got your original modem/router.

  *******************************************

  According to Gateway, the GT5432 has 4 card slots:
  A PCI Express x 16 (GUI)
  A PCI Express x 1
  Two PCI Conventional

  Your motherboard should look like this:
  

  Orange, top, connector is the PCI Express x 16.  You probably have a video card in this slot.

  The short white connector is the PCI Express x 1 connector.

  Two more long white connectors are the standard PCI slots.

  If I understand your installation, you should have the Marvell Yukon map into the slots of two down and your Agere modem on the other.  As long as you have the SMC1244TX PCI card, why don't just remove you the Agere modem or the card Marvell and insert the card CMS in one of the two PCI slots?  You are not using the modem and the working hypothesis is that the Marvell card does not work, so there is not much to gain by leaving a card in your computer.

  Moreover, assuming that your open slot is the short PCI Express x 1 slot, you can buy another Ethernet card that will work in this niche: see--> http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100010064%20600016290&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=100

  If I were you, I blow up the cheaper models and get the Intel EXPI9301CT $ 36 10 / 100 / 1000 Mbps PCI Express Desktop Adapter Gigabit CT.  Note that this is the same card with a similar name (with close to 400 customers) which sells for $29,94.  The price difference is because the cheaper "BLK" letters in the description, which means that it is "sold in bulk" and has no drivers, user guide CD or anything else in the box.  There are several negative comments from people who do not understand this difference and then had trouble finding the driver for the card on the Internet.

• Windows XP cannot connect to DSL Wireless Modem - locked mode "Acquiring Network Address", never connects. Broadcom wireless card

  I have a HP ZV5000 laptop, who has recently suffered a hard drive crash. I replaced the drive reinstalled the operating system and it is running Windows XP Home Professional with Service Pack 3 installed.

  When you attempt to connect to a wireless network, it finds all those that are generally available, but won't connect.

  The properties indicates that the laptop uses "Broadcom 802. "11b / g WLAN. (Broadcom website isn't much help. The site seems to be mostly press releases).

  I am told that it worked (I can't confirm this, as the player crashed when I got it).

  Any suggestions? If there is any other information necessary to solve this, please let me know and I'll be more than happy to provide.

  Thanks in advance!

  How do you reinstall Windows?

  If you use a Microsoft Windows XP installation CD, you must install all of the drivers as well.  If you have reinstalled using any method HP supplies to 'restore factory State' you will have already installed the drivers.

  If you can get to the Internet by connecting to the laptop using an Ethernet cable, you can go HERE and click the button "Scan Now" to make sure that you have all the correct drivers.

  However, because you can see the available wireless networks, it seems that you have at least a certain driver installed for your wireless network card.

  The usual reason that a wireless adapter cannot acquire a network address is the router's security settings are not allowing the connection.

  The best way to deal with misconfigured security settings is to remove the 'profile' currently registered and try to connect again.

  Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
  Right-click on the icon for your wireless adapter and select Properties
  Click the Wireless Networks (see screenshot)
  If the "Use Windows to configure my wireless network" box is NOT checked, you use a third-party utility to configure the adapter and need to read its User Guide to determine how to remove the 'profile' to connect to your router.
  Assuming that the box is checked, find SSID (network name) router in the list of "Preferred networks" and click 'delete '.
  OK your way out
  Find your network in the list of available networks, and then click 'connect '. Make sure you enter the password correctly.

  If this does not work, the next step would be to connect to the router by an Ethernet cable, temporarily remove all security settings that are configured on the router, remove the "My network places" configuration as above and try to connect again.

  If you need help to get to and the configuration of the router, please provide the make, model and hardware version, as appropriate (check the label).
