Confused by UAC - worry about difference between desktop and laptop needs fixing.

My computer laptop and desktop are installed with Windows 7 Ultimate x 64, both with all Windows updates current (apart from things like Bing Office).   The only difference I know, is that the laptop has been installed since a disc with SP1 integrated installation, while the Office was set up at the level of basic and SP1 installed later.

Both have UAC turned (apparently) the same level (up to 3/4), and secpol.msc shows the same UAC settings.

If I run Photoshop 9 (CS2) on the laptop, press F1 for help, I get a UAC elevation prompt before it displays help on the desktop it just goes straight to the help.

If I double click on a MSP file in the laptop it has a (quite rightly) UAC elevation prompt before allowing the update to be applied.  On the desktop it just installed the update.

UAC works on the desktop to a certain extent, as for example if I try to run a command as Administrator window, I get a prompt for elevation.

This is worrying because it seems that in some way UAC has been partially disabled on the desktop from the laptop, and as much as I know I did not do anything to cause this happens.

Details on what is happening and help solve this will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance, Dave

Well now that's interesting, after having reactivated the Protection System (System Restore) and change the UAC level up to maximum and back down again on 3/4, it now seems to work as expected.

I'm still a bit confused, but at least I'm getting now guests of elevation when I wait for them.

See you soon
Dave

  • Reissue of active links between desktop and laptop

    Hello

    Is it possible to not have to re-edit the active link every time I spend between my desktop and my laptop when you work with the Muse? I have all my files in the cloud to Adobe, and every time I save and sync to my desktop, then open the files in Web site while traveling on my laptop, I have to spend a bit of time going back through and restoring links everything that I had done on my desktop. Files are taken from the same spot and registered to the same place (the cloud), so I don't know why I have to go back through and connect it all that I had just created when switching between desktop and laptop.

    Thanks for any help/input on this, I really appreciate it.

    Hi Davz,

    You will be able to use and edit your Muse file, even if you don't re - not link assets.

    It's just that you won't be able to change these assets, so you can redo the link assets whenever you need to make changes to the active files.

    Every time you switch machines, please save the latest version of your Muse file on a local disk and then use it. Using a .muse file saved on a cloud, or removable hard drive can cause problems.

    Also, I suggest you save a copy of all the files of components in a single folder (a local location, not the cloud or the removable hard drive); so, when Muse invite you to re - link assets, you can add a link to one of these files, and Muse will look in that folder for all your other missing links.

  • Qosmio X - 70A - difference between nVidia and driver Toshiba GPU

    Is there a difference between nvidia and one packed by toshiba display driver?
    I'm using the Toshiba but Geforce experience gives me a headache with warnings about a newer driver and toshiba does not appear to provide a.

    Of course there is a difference between the GPU nVidia drivers (or drivers provided by manufacturers of graphics cards) and the drivers provided by Toshiba.

    The Toshiba driver page GPU drivers are changed and made for the mobile use.
    Each laptop model supports various components (CPU, cooling, modules, etc.) and different design. That is why the heat dissipation is always different.

    The GPU driver provided by Toshiba supports a kind of GPU overheating protection and protects the graphics chip of the damage. This means that the GPU performance are controlled by the driver and in case the internal temperature would rise to critical level, it would decrease the performance of the GPU. Also the laptop stops automatically if the temperature is too high.

  • What is the difference between Fdisk and Chkdsk programs?

    Hello:

    I don't think I have a common question of OS knowledge and I worked a lot with both, however for years so I forgot everything I used to know.  I was talking to someone Executibles MS-DOS command line and this person I know told me in email and I did not at the moment, but he said the following:

    "Fdisk and chkdsk are pretty much the same.

    Being an old Microsoft OS Engineer I knew it was wrong, however I've been retired since almost 20 years and I have not worked with either for a while.  I looked in the KB for articles explaining the difference between fdisk and chkdsk or define at least the two against each other, but there is no specific article I could find.  I remember the days when the scariest user had a problem, but they ran all third party software on their computer and have installed BETA version software etc so I'm sure you know the drill and this type of person.

    The person who said this about fdisk and chkdsk is one of those people.  It is a really nice guy, but a nightmare to Microsoft when you talk to a convenience store to the BONE for assistance.  Is there someone out there who could you, please, help me and summarize an irrefutable definition or description indicating the differences between fdisk and chkdisk?  I don't remember the basic functions both I widely used both, but too many years have passed and I don't want to sound like a fool trying to write about the differences.

    I'd appreciate any help I want to educate my friend and the intention is to not make this person feel like a stupid either.

  • What is the difference between Bridge and Lightroom?  Should I have them both?

    What is the difference between Bridge and Lightroom?  Should I have them both?

    Hi MyYawrood,

    If you plan to expand your files only camera raw, then no, you don't need both. Camera Raw, which bridge lance when you select a raw in Bridge file has the same characteristics as Lightroom.

    That's where the similarity ends, however. Bridge is a file browser. You can organize and view the files on your hard drives connected. Bridge knows nothing about files that are not connected. Bridge can preview more Adobe files, regardless of the type of file and is a 'bridge' between applications. It will show also the icons for other types of files created in any application. Lightroom creates a database of a few image formats and knows about them, even if the disk they are on is in offline mode. It cannot handle most types of file formats, however. Lightroom has a robust for print production and publication Center. Bridge doesn't. Lightroom also has Mobile of Lightroom to make some fundamental changes to the photos on your phone or tablet. Bridge doesn't.

    So if you need both depends on what you do on your computer. I absolutely use Bridge / Camera Raw/Photoshop and Lightroom/Lightroom Mobile.

  • Difference between getDBTransaction and getTransaction

    Hi all
    I have a very basic question. What is the difference between getDBTransaction and getTransaction. Is this good to use them interchangeably? Google reminded me an old post on the forum. Unfortunately, the doc in the post has an invalid link.

    Thank you
    Bala

    I'm assuming you are talking about ADF business components, because you mentioned the method getDBTransaction(), that a specific method of the ADF BC.

    Both methods return the Transaction to the correspondent of the ADF BC ApplicationModule root object.

    getTransaction() is a method that is implemented by the oracle.jbo.server.ApplicationModuleImpl class. The method is defined by the oracle.jbo.ApplicationModule interface, if it can be used in client applications ADF BC and components side BC ADF server.

    getDBTransaction() is implemented in the oracle.jbo.server.ViewObjectImpl and oracle.jbo.server.EntityImpl classes. This method is not defined in the interface client-side oracle.jbo.ViewObject), so it can be used in the components side BC ADF server.

    In fact, the Transaction interface is a superinterface of DBTransaction interface. If you use ADF BC local components (i.e. no remote ADF BC), then the two methods return the oracle.jbo.server.DBTransactionImpl AM root object. If you use remote ADF BC, then the ApplicationModule.getTransaction () method returns an object client that implements the interface of the Transaction and which acts as a proxy for the DBTransactionImpl side of the AM root server-side.

  • What is the difference between EPMA and Essbase Studio

    If the two are not used to design applications?

    And a really need Essbase Studio?
    What is the difference between EPMA and Essbase Studio

    ^ ^ ^ It's a little confusing, isn't? As far as I understand the role of EPMA, it is a way to share dimensions and common data between several products Oracle EMP including Planning, Essbase and HFM. In fact, I don't know if other products live in EPMA. What is EPMA not have is a great way to supply or manipulate the dimension and fact tables (or files). Oh, there are tables of the interface, but you will write the code/use the utility of dimension EPMA to load dimensions. I must say that I never tried to load through EPMA data so that someone else will have to pronounce on it. Once the dimensions are built, you can deploy Essbase (and other products) of common and specific to the database dimensions.

    Studio is the tool you will use to go against a data warehouse, or something terribly close a data warehouse to build Essbase databases. Just for Essbase - HFM, planning, etc. are not the targets of the Studio release.

    What gets confusion / intriguing, is that when EPMA deploy Essbase apps, it uses Studio under the covers to do. So the interesting implementations where people use Studio (which is much more flexible than EPMA because it is a development tool as opposed to a dimension/data management application) to read the tables, EPMA interface (and as far as I know, the EPMA base tables) and create Essbase applications like that.

    If you think that there is overlap, I agree with you, but you can see that they are not the same.

    And a really need Essbase Studio?

    ^ ^ ^ Do not use Studio to build Essbase databases. You can go hog wild in EAS with loading SQL rules if you want, even if at some point it will be probably easier and simpler to build in the Studio. Although the Studio has been mentioned as the replacement of EAS for awhile, I suspect the effort required to build a database in Studio will keep around for quite a while EAS or Studio Lite will be out. There is a lot to say (sometimes) for the incredible flexibility EAS/Essbase-Studio requires a more methodical approach and EPMA has a very formal set of standards and methods.

    Phew, I'm sorry, I wrote a book on this subject and I bet you get a lot of differences of opinion on that.

    If you are interested in the Studio, you could do well to take a copy of 'Look smarter than you are with Oracle Essbase Studio 11' of Glenn Schwartzberg. I don't get a penny from the sale while I was among the writers of copy (Hey, I got a mention in the acknowledgements). It's a good book and an excellent introduction to the tool.

  • difference between Instant and complete customer oracle

    The dealio is the following:

    When you install the client software, you have several options as to the degree of what you get/install. The big chicken dinner is administrator, so you get all sorts of additional features, modules, libraries, utilities, etc. Candy hard end of Christmas is instantaneous, and has just enough features for, as you can guess now, connect a customer and that's about it. Several libraries have the feature in what that extra is needed. An example is FAN, or fast application notification, used the shift in Data Guard. A FAN API (Java) detects a failover and redirect a new client connection to the primary. GG use XDK for (in particular) is not important to a user, just the fact that it is available to connect to Oracle.

  • Difference between SYSDBA and DBA

    Hi all

    Could someone tell me the difference between SYSDBA and DBA. I'm confused...

    Thank you
    Nagi

    DBA is a combination of roles and privileges, and it is a ROLE.
    SYSDBA is a system privilege which grants the user to the start/stop/create/drop/backup of database.

    In addition, SYSOPERs can not create or drop database. Also a DBA may not stop the database but may import or export complete database.

    There are other things to mention, but please refer to the Oracle documentation.

    It will be useful,
