• Windows XP SP3: Unable to start, System Restore cannot drag and drop ALL the files/folders on the desktop and applications, many unable to start, services cannot search, cannot copy or transfer the any files folders...

  After a recent power outage, my system has restarted with a weird and very common Windows problems range. The system boots fine, all my personal files/folders/apps are intact, have suddenly stopped almost all functions of applications, but many crucial functions of the Windows kernel. Everything seems to point to several Windows Services are unable to start (administrative tools on the start menu). I am running Win XP SP3 and that he was going to upgrade to Windows 7, but I wanted to backup everything in advance. As I have 29 000 hours on my C: drive and a lot of time invested in my system, files, and applications, I am extremely reluctant to risk losing my files and applications by performing any type of reinstalling Windows. Strangely, begin to almost all my apps and all my files are accessible for the most part, but I've lost the ability to drag and drop files, folders or items in a list within the applications COMPLETELY. I can't copy or paste anything, can't move the desktop icons (although I can create new files and folders). So at the moment I can't save anything or even a single file transfer to a hard drive on another storage medium. Immediate reaction: try safe mode and try the system restore safe mode has the same problems (likely due to the large number of system services that inexplicably refuses to start) and the system restore says an error window saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer at this time. try restoring the system running and restart again", which of course NEVER changes. It's the equivalent of getting a tire on your car in the middle of nowhere to find the spare tire flat and the missing Jack. I have used to be fanatical about the definition of the regular restore points, but now can not access them. I have backups of most of my personal files, but over years have lost most of the original installation CD for many of my applications (there are over 100 applications on my system) and I don't want to lose the file associations and architecture of directory tree that it took my so long to implement. I started with Win XP media center edition of first (circa 2004 or almost) and have migrated twice more of 3 hard disks and 2 computers. All this time (5 years of daily use), I have NEVER known so many malfunctions for as many Windows basic and vital functions at the same time. I tried a lot of 3rd party "windows fix - it / registry repair" apps, all have no effect. Everything I can speculate is there was some serious damage to the registry and have no idea how/why so many Services refuse to start. In MMC, more than half of the services actually start and run, the rest all give the error message "the service or dependencies is not start (error 1068).» In addition, very oddly, no. APPS or windows appear in the toolbar AT ALL, but the Quick Launch toolbar works very well, just like the tray button and start tasks (?! )!). If I reduce a window, it "disappears" (Nothing on the task bar), but I can restore it using the alt - tab keyboard shortcut to switch apps, so all applications/windows appear on the list of the Task Manager. A few apps is paralyzed bad, as the player windows media, itunes, etc. (I guess because the service windows audio can not not start), some won't start at all, but 90% of them work fine, except to try to copy or back up all files. I can create new files, however. I'm desperate to find a solution to repair XP3 Win WITHOUT losing my installed applications and files, before I try and switch to WIndows 7. Any help/suggestions/links/advice would be much appreciated. I'm an experienced user, but I've never met so many malfunctions based on the OS at a time. I, however, very painfully learned (years before that my system so complex) it's been almost a re-installation of Windows guarantees to lose my installed apps and files, the directory tree architecture associations.

  Help, please!

  I'll be honest with you - your message is so difficult to read that I don't bother to go through all that. Next time consider using white space, ball or points numbered, etc. to make your message more readable. I stopped reading after your first sentence and only scanned the rest quickly. I do not mean to hurt your feelings; just trying to help you get targeted answers you need for the future.

  The blackout has corrupted your Windows installation. Back up your data now. Since you have problems so much, it would be probably best is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB drive enclosure and attach it to another computer to copy the data OR start the target with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix system and copy the data to an external hard drive. IOW, do not use the damaged windows to try to get your data.

  You can try a repair that will leave your programs and facility data intact, but with this widespread bribery, it is unlikely to work. However, it takes only a few minutes and is so worth a try. If the repair facility does not work there is nothing to do, but a clean install. And Yes, it will mean that over again.

  Consider buying a UPS to help prevent future damage by power outages. For a single computer, you should look for one in the area of $60 to 80. A more expensive UPS is not necessary. Another good disaster recovery strategy is to buy an external hard drive and Acronis True Image. You can image your system (and can make an incremental backup image so that your image is still current). You can apply your image and be back running that you were in relatively few minutes after a hard drive or Windows to fail.

• Lost all my files stored on the left side and now 75 files of letters and numbers there that I cannot understand or get rid of

  I have been unable to send my mails but could receive. My wife has worked well. I copied his adjustment to my account. Still has not sent. In all of this, I lost all my saved files and my sent tab. Records used to be where I have all of these (about 50) files which consist of numbers and letters. I tried to remove my computer Thunderbird and reinstall it but when it comes I still have all these strange files. Just one Inbox, trash, and no record. I READ A LOT OF INFO BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

  How do you have copied your settings of wives?

  Thunderbird seems to be confused, or by the location that you specified for your profile, or what it should display.

  How about a screenshot of what you see, so that we can in the picture. (These numbers and letters may be clue to what is there)

• My expansion drive has been disconnected, and all the files that have been renamed on Premier Pro are missing!  Help!

  I use Adobe first Pro CS5.  I'm working on a project for a month and this morning, I realized that there is a problem with it.  To make sure that I don't junk my computer upwards, I have always to leave the files I'm working with my expansion drive and I work from there.  I have autosave all the time, etc, but apparently, at some recent point, my disk expansion has been disconnected, and Premiere Pro tells me that all my files are offline.  My biggest problem is that I've renamed all my video files in Premiere Pro, but I not rename them on my drive for expansion.  Thus, for them find would probably take me as long, if not more, of my original work.  Is it possible in the world that I can record these files and the long hours that I've already spent editing this video?  If you have an idea regarding what I can do, I would be eternally grateful.   Note: I work with AVCHD clips.

  Please, I beg you.  Whatever that is would be helpful at this stage.

  Make sure that Premiere Pro is closed, and reconnect the drive.  Everything should be good when you reopen the project.

  The exceptions are two.  Bill has raised the first.  The second is that if you have already saved the project with offline files.  Once you do that, you're done.

• Read files stored on SD card for debugging an application

  Hello

  I'm trying to save a wav file and save it to the SD card in the device. IM using Pearl with 4.5 OS.

  Whenever I have debug the application on the actual device, I'm not able to read the file or even write files on SD card...

  How can I read and write files on SD card?

  It seems that you have mass storage Mode when you connect via USB.

  So be sure that it is not the case:

  go to the terminal--> Media Card options and set "Auto enable mass storage Mode when connected ' on 'No', or the command prompt.

  If you set it to ask, you will be asked when you connect the device, and you should answer No.

  Make sure the device are not connected to USB when you set.

• Deploy virtual desktops for another AD area

  Hi Experts

  Im a view evaluation Horizon 6 running in a lab environment.

  I want to deploy virtual desktops in this scenario:

  Currently, all view and vSphere infrastructure are in abc.com

  Pls joins screenshot of configuring servers for that environment.

  I created Pools of office for manual, Full, LinkedClone, LinkedClone with pools persistent discs and RDS

  I would like to offer virtual desktops to other domain users in xyz.com

  Question 1

  View supports this other environment that approves use of domain?

  Question 2

  What type of virtual desktop pools is the most appropriate, can help pls to develop? (Thought Im of LinkedClone with persistent discs)

  Question 3

  View is primarily designed to manage in the same field of view and virtual desktop components in the design?

  Question 4

  What is any other link recommendation and the documentation can I speak?

  Thank you

  

  1: I think that one day two trust is required in all scenarios in which you deploy on several areas via a view environment.

  2: answer depends on your needs and what you want to achieve a level user and desktop computer.    The two would work in trusted domains.

• How can I make an icon out of a Web site and put it on my desktop for easy access?

  At the same time, I could partially reduce a web screen and physically pull an icon on the top left corner and on my desk. I did it with Firefox, and there remains today, allowing easy access whenever I want to go to this Web site. But apparently those days are over. Why? What do you suggest me?
  [email protected]

  Hey gregorpinney,

  It's actually very easy to do. All you have to do is to go to the Web page you want to bookmark. Click the icon of the site on the left side of the URL, and then drag the icon on your desktop.

  It is probably easier to see it done, then you should look at the article create a shortcut on the desktop to a Web site.

  I hope this helps!

• Where is file stored on your computer when you use: File.applicationStorageDirectory

  When you are using File.applicationStorageDirectory , where Adobe stores the program on a Windows/Apple computer? I know what this means, but I would just be able to see for myself that the file is created when I develop my application.

  Hide which was a change in Mountain Lion I think. You can get there by choosing to go to the folder in the Finder (in the menu go) and enter the following:

  / Users/irobot/library /.

• Not all bookmarks appear with an icon. For those who are not, is it possible to add a?

  I'm finally rid of IE8 after too many problems. But in IE8, even pages that had no icon associated with that web page display a default icon of IE imposed on a file icon image. But in Firefox, which shows an area dotted.

  In addition, many pages that have icons in IE8 not appear in Firefox, even after the repetition of charges.

  Just curious to know if there is a way to add an icon to replace those dotted boxes.

• List of files stored in a directory object

  Hello
  
  I looked on Google, Oracle DB docs and here to find a way to practice for the list of files stored in a DIRECTORY for the batch of loading into a table with PL/SQL. But no luck, UTL_FILE does not have a method of directory listing. I seen examples with a workaround like putting the list of files in a text file before loading. The directory is powered by other network services and process, so I don't know the list of the files that I need to import, and then remove. I do not have access to the server console, and it is impossible for me to throw a kind of "dir" result in a text file. I've seen other examples of using Java, but it seems that I have too much access to Java on the server side.
  
  Is there a simple way to do so only in PL/SQL?
  Otherwise, I'll ask the ADMINISTRATOR the rights necessary to compile/run java on the server side...
  
  Versions of target DB for this requirement are 10g and 11g (mainly) on Windows environment.
  
  Thank you
  Bruno

  As far as I'm concerned, obviously, but it is up to you to answer all the undocumented features is caveat emptor.

  DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE is the PL/SQL package that only RMAN backups.
  DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE is not documented in the Guide of packages provided (or whatever we call it) but has detailed comments in the package header in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin. This is unlike some packages where Oracle have even wrapped the header. There are dozens of notes on Metalink describing certain circumstances where the DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE call yourself is OK.

  SEARCHFILES procedure is called by RMAN when you manually catalog archives that start with a string.
  XUTL_FINDFILES exposes only and only the part of the DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.
  The disadvantage of XUTL_FINDFILES is that it must be installed in the SYS schema due to the inevitable dependence on a table of $ fixed x.
  So the only privileged required to install XUTL_FINDFILES is you must be logged in as SYS. After its creation, you would run on XUTL_FINDFILES than that you wanted, then, as the security is controlled by directory objects. So it would be OK to grant execute on XUTL_FINDFILES to the public, because without privileges on a directory object, the package will not do anything.
  Some administrators will not like the fact that the package must be installed in the SYS. All I can say is try it on a development database and see what happens.

• In all projects, all the files are locked (cannot change, delete, rename or move), file system is given

  Hi all,.

  Today, I started my JDeveloper and was rather surprised that I can't edit any file in any project that I opened. All files have a small lock in the upper left corner.

  Here is a screenshot of the indication.

  I use git as my vcs. Git does not support file locks, but a svn. Maybe something gets mixed upward...

  Anyway that it blocks all the files in the projects that do not use the vcs.

  Thanks and greetings
