any suggestions of what toolbars are safe and useful
Hi Any suggestions on any toolbars that are safe and useful? I have a dell dimension 4700 xp home edition and use Mozilla firefox, (do not remember what version) no beta version, I know that. I run the super spy and bases of Microsoft Security everyday something or other on request. I'm very careful about what I do with this computer. It was a gift for me and with all the help on the forum and a few consultations some Microsoft Engineers I have this computer runs smooth.
I appreciate all suggestions on the subject from the toolbar, what I really want, it's one with favorites, who does not have the one I have.
Thank you
Gina Davis
Hello
Since you are using FireFox you must check with their Support and Forums. Also check with your
favorite search engine when considering a toolbar. Be careful because some questionable programs
sites for the express purpose of providing a positive assessment of their programs. However, using a suspicious
eye and logical salt usually allows to recognize those designed for this kind of deception.

Trying to capture what reports are running and what users
Hi all
A few months ago, we went to Discoverer 11 g. One of the patches that I expected was the update of the table of query statistics to see which reports are running and that was their execution.
The problem is that most users run Discoverer more but they are not "free" closing more discoverer via file-> exit. They hit just ths 'X' to close the window. Oracle says that when users, their statistics are not written for query statistics tables. I find that the EUL workbooks that we installed are pretty useless because of this and really the only reason why I left the query statistics logging is enabled. I'm now seriously disable this because it is very inconsistent (cut out us statistics of query on a rolling table 180 days of history via the simultaneous program that removes the stats more than 180 days).
I was wondering if anyone here has made any record of what files are managed through some triggers? I see there is a trigger EUL function that we have in place, called message save documents, recording the name of the workbook, sql, etc.. But it does not record the date on which it was run. Is that what someone has changed this trigger so that whenever a report is run, it saves the sql report, user and when there was ongoing at the table?
"" I have a SR Oracle open, I asked this in two different ways, but they keep coming back to a canned response of "If the user does not do file-> exit, it will not save their session for the statistics of table... blah blah blah."
I hope that I am sensible in what I ask.
Thank you.
Kind regards
JerryHello
I have never found the stats of discoverer to be very helpful for some of the reasons you gave.
I see that a trigger EUL will do what you want that unfortunately there is no trigger to open document. In order to obtain information, you must rely on the user to save the workbook.
An option that you can explore is to use a policy of (fine grain access) DBMS_FGA to audit certain discoverer query statements. For example, you can add a FGA strategy at the EUL5_DOCUMENTS table that selects records all on the table. This will show that users open the workbooks that you have in the EUL. Or you could add a policy to the tables/views used in the audit and discoverer workbooks then selects it with a condition of audit to audit only the discoverer sessions.
How to do this depends on exactly what you want to audit.

I'm still learning photoshop and are passed to the application of the measures. When I apply the actions of the system, I get a black and white scribble everywhere in my picture. I imported stocks of larger than Gatsby and they don't play all, play is grayed out. When I first tried to import the actions they were greyed out. Does anyone have suggestions on what to do?
I see that you have used the Action of molten lead, and it is supposed to perform as in the screenshot.
So if you wish, you can reduce the opacity of the most recent layer which has been created, it is layer 1.

Best way to decide what programs are safe to delete?
I did everything you can imagine to improve performance on my PC and finally facing the last hurdle. There are WAY to many installed programs. I removed everything that I use on a regular basis. Now I am faced with many programs that I use that came with other included software, and I want to get rid of the secondary programs. Two examples:
1. I bought AVS Audio Converter, because he understands more than any freeware/shareware that I could find. But it also came with AVS Update Manager and AVS4YOU Software Navigator (totaling more than 19 MB)2. the software that controls my Creative Audigy sound cart also came with Creative MediaSource, Creative Software AutoUpdate and Creative System Information (totally more than 156 MB).I could just try and shoot them, but I don't know if I will get a warning that this program X program requires Z 'talk' to the program. When it comes to repairing the damage be re-setup, let's say that my efforts to keep track of original installation CD have been well intentioned but above all ineffective. Two examples are just the visible part of the iceberg. I'll have to contact technical support for each company that sold me the software? Alternatives?I did everything you can imagine to improve performance on my PC and finally facing the last hurdle. There are WAY to many installed programs.

Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.
You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.
