  • How to close a form automatically if it is idle for a minute?

    We are talking about 10 forms here. We want to do this: we have a forms applications. Open a form in the menu and the user uses. Now, if the user does not use the form for 1 minute, i.e. If the form is idle for one minute without keyboard or mouse activity we want to give a message to the use and close the form or to block/gel form.

    How do this pls?

    The only way to support to do would be to create a java bean that monitors the activity of the client. Demonstration of how to do this is available on the forms download page:

    http://www.Oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/downloads/index.html

    Search: "timeout Java Bean". Remember that this is only an exampleof _____. To use this example in your production application, it may be necessary to adapt the java code to meet your needs. This example is not supported by the Support of Oracle. Use it at your own risk.

    You will probably get suggestions to set FORMS_TIMEOUT to a value less than the PULSATION. It is strongly discouraged because it can cause unpredictable results and let the end user with a comparing browser hanging. Again, using a java bean is the preferred method.

  • Computer hangs or freezes a few minutes after the beginning

    Hi all

    I hope someone has the knowledge to help me.

    I have a Dell Vostro 1500, Vista Business x 32 installed.

    In the last days:

    * On a normal startup, the computer hangs after a few minutes.
    I get either 'failure-security options' pop up or the computer crashes only the operation of the pointer.
    The blue off the Task Manager CPU usage hard drive light will goes from 0 to 1% and stays there.

    I was able to copy information from a pop up that says I was saved from a fall BSOD:

    * No problem starting and running programs and internet with ' SafeMode w / networking. "

    * The only thing I added was a Microsoft Update in the last days.
    I tried to do a system restore, but there is no system restore point.
    I used the restore of the system about 3 weeks there due to the other Microsoft Update was also causing startup problems.
    I didn't knowingly clear Points of system restore or turn off System Restore.

    * I ran Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and I got quarantined {PUP. Optional.Sanbreel.A, PUP. Optional.Sanbreel.A, PUP. Optional.Instacore.A, PUP. Optional.Hold.A}

    * I ran AVAST antivirus recently with no viruses listed, but not in the last days.

    * Chkdsk fixed drive C by removing some entries and fixed a couple of bad sectors.

    * sfc/scannow to block exactly 82% and I had to make a compromise difficult stop.

    If someone is knowledgeable on how to correct the situation described above, please answer!

    Perhaps it would be better for me to all my files on a memory stick or external hard drive simply copy and then reload Vista? Is there a disadvantage in doing this?

    This way you do not uncover what caused the problem and you might find that you still have a problem.

    so I can only perform simple tests troubleshooting with confidence.

    It's exactly what I mean do you. You follow the instructions, the information and I tell you what to do next. Ads simple as one of the meercats said in the TV. You get a bonus in this way you improve your knowledge of the works of your computer.

  • Computer hangs when rebooting and intermittently does not start power

    When you restart the computer, it stops but does not restart. At the stop, the fan continues to run, and is turned on. To start the computer, hold the power for several seconds, waiting and power of the machine back on. Sometimes it takes several tries to get the computer to boot. Two things: there must be an easier way, and if I damage your computer in any way with this manual extinction?

    Hi head of I-d-10-T.

    Try toclean boot to see if it's a program or process that is causing the problem to stop. Also, in Safe Mode, run your antivirus. If you do not have an antivirus installed, you can useMicrosoft Security Essentials to scan you computer.

  • Computer hangs when Internet Explorer 9 is closed

    Original title: when istop my pc Explorer freezes

    after tax on the internet my computer hangs and does not start, I have to close it downwhen istop explore my pc freezes

    Hello

    1 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    2. deal with any problem with Internet Explorer when you browse the internet?

    3. it happens with other applications as well?

    Method 1: Safe Mode with network and clean boot

     

    Check if the problem persists in safe mode with network. If the problem does not persist in SafeMode with network check if the problem persists in the boot.

    Step 1: Safe Mode with networking

    Networking in safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers with networking. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

    See the site:

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

     

    Step 2: Clean boot

    When the computer starts to boot, programs non-Microsoft will not be started and would avoid any interruption of their share.

    See the following site:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

    Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 7 article to set your computer to normal startup.

    Note: If in case you are connected through a wireless connection and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check see topic wireless are turned on (Enabled).

    Method 2:

    See the site:

    Windows 7 hangs or freezes

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2681286

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
