ERRORLEVEL lost during the passage of new cmd.exe command

Hello

When I run the following commands in a command prompt errorlevel Windows 7 11 is returned:

% ComSpec % /C "EXIT 11" & IF 1 EQU 2 DIR

ECHO %ERRORLEVEL%

11

If I run the first command in a new cmd.exe I get errorlevel 0:

% ComSpec % / c "% ComSpec % /C"EXIT 11"& IF 1 EQU 2 DIR"

ECHO %ERRORLEVEL%

0

Why the two lines of command do not return the same errorlevel?

Kind regards

Michael

  • the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142) Message window during the closing down, labeled cmd.exe.

    I have a problem that only occurs during the closing down.

  • HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 m602 slow printing during the passage of the trays

    Hello world!

    On the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 m602, who met breaks in print jobs during the passage of the trays?  Example, we are going to print invoices and we have a rule configuration that prints on plate 2 with the exception of the last page that is perforated paper tray 3.  So, in a job of 5 pages, pages 1-4 are the tray 2 paper... then page 5 is perforated tray 3.  There is a 2 to 3 seconds when the last page is extracted from tray 3.  If the invoice is only 2 pages, the print job appears super slow.

    This printer was working fine with no delay until we applied the firmware 2302786_433718.  Now, the delay is very noticeable.  We do not know if it was intentional or not in the new firmware.

    We use the latest PCL 5 Universal Print Driver.  The only thing that has changed is the firmware.  We even tried a full reset of firmware.  Problem is still there.

    I worked with HP support, but we were told to wait... the next version of firmware that may or may not fix everything.

    Any help or insight is appreciated.

    We have this same problem with our printer HP Laserjet 600 M602.

    Could solve by setting the Print Mode to all papertypes that are used for the same parameter.  We thought initially can be a problem, issue or firmware of the Board of adjustment, but in reality was the paper type settings. We set up printer for ordinary paper into tray 2 and tray 3, default regular bond has been set at light mode printing and binding for the print mode binding. Each time dial-up printer and trays, he stops to configure different paper type settings.

    Hopefully the other help solve their printing problems

  • Wheel rotation during the passage of the apps

    Hello

    I frequently meet the spinning wheel during the passage of the apps. For example an app can do one, but open window have not been used for a while and then when I click on the window to use it I get the wheel spinning for a few seconds.

    I am running Yosemite 10.10.5 on a MacPro Mid 2010) with 16 GB of ram and 12 GB available on the 300 GB SSD drive. I just realized that maybe space on the boot drive may be the cause, so I'll empty now and update if there is no change.

    Also, my SSD is a 500 GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO media and I think that the TRIM is not enabled? I read that TRIM was not based with SSDS of third party on my machine and was picking up information contradictory as to the time it was a problem or not. The lack of TRIM could be the cause of the spinning wheel?

    Duane

    You ran a 'cleaning', 'optimize' or 'speed up' apps on your Mac?  Have you installed an antivirus software?

    The 12 GB of free space must be sufficient and not to be the cause of the problem. Don't let him get any small however.

    How to make windows require a password during the installation of new programs?

    Hello

    You will not be able to circumvent the password that appears before the execution of actions (installing a new program) in a non administrator account.  If you are logged on as administrator, and again, you get the command prompt, you can disable UAC (User Account Control) to stop the password dialog window.

    However, as a work around you can right-click on the installation of the program files and select run as administrator. Check if this is useful.

  • Mac lost during the installation of windows

    When installing windows on a MAC, I deleted my partition mac completely and I am now left with windows 7 to my mac book air. Y at - it an option to install mac, I don't mind losing the windows partition

    Hello smarthala,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you deleted by mistake your Mac partition during the installation of Windows. The partition itself deleted or was it the Mac OS that has been erased, leaving an empty partition?

    If the latter, you can reinstall OS X from OS X Recovery. See this article for how that should be done: On OS X Recovery
    Otherwise, you can use Internet recovery (Command-Option-R, as opposed to the command-R) to repartition the entire hard drive and install the version of Mac OS X provided on your Mac. Who is finished, you can upgrade to El Capitan via the App Store > bought.

    Best regards.

    Yes, the basic installation is somewhat a mystery where this configuration is stored.

    What to change in the httpd.conf file? If it's the ports you can do it in em. There is a link on the home page to change the port numbers.

    The specified file looks more like a model, but can be used. It should have little impact if you modify this file, just make a backup in case it fails.

    see you soon

  • Everything on my laptop lost during the night. Seems to be like a new computer with none of my icons, folders, pictures, or whatever it is that I put on here. Don't know what happened! Help, please.

    All I can with certainty you know is that I work with this computer laptop 9 Feb and finished updating a blackberry phone while I arrived he began to countdown a restart down to the right and I just let it continue to countdown, as I have before installing updates could.  I sat down and closed the monitor.  No has nothing do with computer laptop lastnight, but turned on tonight and most of my icons were missing.  According to me, the wallpaper is different from the front and I got on the internet as usual without any problem.  When I got off the internet to work with pictures of my newborn (only child), the only icon I had on the desktop is Ebay.  Not as if I had everything set up.  I then went to images and he had only the file sample.  Having felt that I would be sick then tried to look for some other stuff that I had in the records and doesn't seem to be anything anywhere.  Please help if you can.  This laptop is a Dell Studio, which is less than 5 months old.  Please help before my wife kills me for all our photos backup not.

    Thanks much for the advice, but I found where some updates have not been filled and after several reboots and updates processing everything on my desk, changed again the way I got it.  In fact, I went to C: users and then myself, then all my documents, pictures, ets. was there, so I later found lastnight it wasn't lost, just moved for some reason any.  I then started to look to check the status of the updates pushed out and there are service packs that has not been installed, so I crossed my fingers and agreed to allow them to install and went to bed.  Now computer seems to be back to my settings.  But thank you very much for answering.  It was the first time that I've already posted a question b/c that I generally find the answers online, but it was getting the best of me.  Probably b/c of the thought of losing all my photos only Childs and thinking of how my wife would react.  Thank God it worked.  Thanks again.

  • Tips for improving of LR2 to 3 during the passage to a new computer?

    My old mac was a G5 so I finally joined the modern world with a new iMac. On the new machine, I installed LR3, but I'm still running LR2 on the old machine. I want to come all my photos/catalogs/dbs (probably by getting an external HD enclosure to the current unit of the old machine) to the new machine and LR2. A few tips on how to import everything? Nothing to watch? I have thousands of images, some of them paid employment, and I don't want to lose anything. Thank you.

    Rule # 1: IMPORTEZ not!

    That's what I'd do:

    • On the old machine and LR2, make sure that you have one (or a few) top level for all your images folders, and that they show in a hierarchical way in your folder Panel. You may need to use "Add a folder" several times to achieve.
    • With the old disk mounted on the new machine, double-click the LR2 catalog to start LR3
    • You will be asked if you want to convert your LR2 catalog in a catalog in LR3
    • Confirm this action, which will build a new catalog of your catalog of LR2 LR3, leaving the LR2 catalog because it is
    • If your missing files/images (that I'm not sure on a Mac when the same volume is mounted as an external drive), perform a 'find the missing folder' on all the top-level folders in your catalog, pointing to the files on the mounted volume
    • If needed/wanted, you can then move the folders from top level of image of in LR to another volume
    • If you need/want to move the catalog as well, copy the file ".lrcat [nomcatalogue]" and "[nomcatalogue] Previews.lrdata" folder to another drive when LR is closed and restart LR by double-clicking the copied .lrcat file
    • Delete the old catalog, once that you do not know the new works to your satisfaction

    You can also consider to copy your presets, plugins and the failings of the cab from the old machine to the new one.

  • Positions lost during the shutdown desktop icon

    The positions of the icon on my desktop are lost each time that I reboot so everything ends in a jumble on the left side of the screen.  In the control panel under Options, display - the "Remember each folder view setting" option is checked if this should not happen. I am running Vista. Sites online support suggests to change the registry, but does not provide any instruction on how to do it. What can I do?
