Hi Bill,

Thanks for choosing Windows Vista Forums.

Have you tried re - download the file and open it?

The file may not have been packed correctly so, make sure that you re - compress the file and open.

Let us know how it works.

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

    If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly.

  • There was an error creating a zipped folder - "missing or empty zip file.

    I use Windows 7 64 bit and want to Zip to a large number of content items in a foder, about 1200 points, amounting to 800MB. I select items, right click, "send to" and select "compressed (zipped) folder." The process begins and after an indefinite comes up with an error 'compressed folder error - missing or empty Zip file.

    It's very strange because the process is in fact create the zip folder, sometimes it gets a little path through the process before the error and creates a small (8 MB) zip file, sometimes it get far and creats a big file (250 MB), but it ends.

    Any ideas?

    You can use a 3rd party zip software.
    I don't know whether you are running in a limitation of the program.

    Some have the trial version that you can download to see if it will work for you.

  • Context menu ' New > compressed (zipped) folder ' vs ' send to > compressed (zipped) folder ".

    I'm moving again right click and zip file, but the option is not there. I have to right click and go to send to, and then compressed zip folder or use 7-zip and move everything on the desktop, create copies and then to have to go back and delete after that is very time consuming. I just want to do a right-click option of origin go again and zip folder back. Can anyone help?

    The context menu (the thing that appears when you right-click) is different if you right click on an empty space on your desktop to the right by clicking on an icon on your desktop.

    If you click on an icon, you get the choice ' send to ' with several sub-menus including "Compressed folder (zip)."

    If you right-click an empty space on the desktop, you get the 'New' choice with several submenus, including "" the file compressed (zipped)."

    If you click on the icons of some - but not all-, you will get a 'New' choice that has no submenus.  Selection of the 'new' opens in some program opens the item specified by the icon.  In other words, if you right-click on a Word document (or a shortcut to a Word document), by selecting 'New' opens Word.  Items that are associated with programs that cannot create a new file (for example, Adobe Reader for pdf files) won't even have the choice of 'new '.

    Then... If you right click on an empty spot on your desktop, is the 'New' element?  And if it is, is "File compressed (zipped)" absent from the list of submenus?  If so, see number 3 here (and read the below directions on this page)--> http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/28677-new-context-menu-remove-restore-default-menu-items.html

    iPhone 4S OS 9.2.1

    Have you ever tried to force reboot the phone by holding down the button sleep and home for 10 seconds, until the Apple logo comes back again? You won't lose data by doing this, but it can cure a few glitches.

    If this does not work and to rule out a software problem, set it back to factory settings, without using any data backup later. Test the phone and if the GPS works again, restore the backup.

    If the GPS does not work after the factory reset, it is a hardware problem, and Apple has to repair the phone if GPS can be fixed.

    In the case where it cannot be resolved, it could offer to replace the iPhone 4s, if you are willing to pay the price for the refurbished phone.

  • error message when the location of my pictures (Google maps)

    Excuse my bad English, I'm french! When I try to inform them of the location of my pictures in IPhoto, using Google Maps in the Info window, I get this message: "Oops!" something was wrong. This page has not properly loaded Google maps. See the JavaScript console for more technical details"

    What can I do with Java script?

    Thank you for your response.

    Contract of Apple with Google to use Google maps with locations of the pictures in the iPhoto library has been cancelled a few months previously.  That's why iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier can no longer access the Google map servers and get this error message.

    If you use iPhoto 9.4.3 or earlier you can stop the fracas in the following manner, but will lose the mapping functionality in the library.

    iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier began planting for many users suddenly a few weeks ago. This is because the contract between Apple and Google for the use of Google maps with iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier sites expired an elderly couple of months and was not renewed. This is the case of him freezes or crashes.

    Now uses Apple its own program for locations maps and too the use you need to run iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks or 9.6.1 and Yosemite El Capitan or Photos and El Capitan.

    Re: iPhoto crashes after opening several times in reply to carvermon

    I found a solution that works for me.

    1 goto /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Resources (control (right) - click the iPhoto application and select the content in the context menu - OT.)

    2 delete the files 'googlemap.html' and googlesearch.html

    iPhoto no longer crashes, site does not work, but it doesn't bother me too much.

    Let me know if it works for you guys...

    Deletes two files "googlemap.html" and the googlesearch.html of iPhoto application bundle prevents the JavaScript running inside and causing the accident.  Log of course do the same thing. So it's pretty clear that something happened at the end of Google.

    There is a notch posted by user cotton-x that will let iPhoto 9 and earlier still use Google Maps for the purpose of the location.

    Re: iPhoto 11 - problems with Photo locations

    in response to Paul Fisher

    YES!

    I did just the job.

    I'm on a macbook running white 10.7.5 with iPhoto 9.4.3

    Thanks to Paul, I got an idea. What happens if we had simply ignored Apple has expired API and used our own, private and free from Google. Turns out it works.

    Here's what you need to do:

    0 - quit iPhoto

    1. create a google account or use your own

    Console developers of Google 2 - access HERE

    3. create a project (any name)

    4 - turn on a Google Maps Javascript API

    5 - generate your own API key

    6 - go to the folder /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Resources/googleMap.html

    7. change the googleMap.html (I used an application called TextWrangler)

    8 change the src ="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3 & client = gme-appleinc & sensor = false" > to this src = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_KEY_HERE& signed_in = true & sensor = false ">"

    9 - save your freshly edited googleMap.html

    10 - open iPhoto and enjoy.

    Take the Apple.

    Don't forget to make a backup copy of the iPhoto application before performing this procedure.

  • Context of the sequence becomes invalid when the runtime is longer

    I have a sequence that loop for about 70 k iterations (which is pretty huge). The sequence called a subsequence where the inhabitants of the sequence called are modified. Question is, around 65 th iteration k, I get an error message indicating that the reference of the local past is invalid. The number of iterations when the error occurs varies from one computer to another, but always in the 65 k range. When I try to run another sequence (a single) consecutively, I get an "out of memory" error I guess the reason why the local reference is not valid because TS execution stops when the memory TS gets the complete decision-making context of sequence and therefore the reference local section not valid.

    I would like to know how to reduce the consumption of memory of TS because I disabled the result of record for all the result of sequences (Configure-> Options of Station-> run), disabled registration for each iteration of the loop, optimize no reentrant calls thi sequence is also enabled. I even tested with just this sequence of sequence and I wonder if there is a maximum number of threads of execution when a loop.
