I guess that part of the question could be a driver which is really old or similar should not be loaded.

This exit Windows updates on (after you have access) and stop the updates of the driver to load.

Need your help Hussain if you have free time.

Thank you once more and Best Regards,.
Françoise

Hi mourad,.

You are right that you do not initially set to 10g, but I think that the reason for the upgrade of the 10 g database is because this issue of compliation of java class is fixed to 10g (or more).

For the release of the application, yes you're right, you're on 11.5.10.2 and so you do not need to be upgraded as 11.5.10.2 = 11.5.10 CU2

Have you tried to bounce the services and compiles the object manually before running again the adpatch? Assuming that you still need to upgrade to 11.5.10.2

The components of database to validate "OLAP Analytic Workspace" and "Oracle OLAP API"

so, if we already 11.5.10 CU2, we do not need to apply the Patch 3460000 (before installation of database), do we?

OK, you don't need to apply the Patch 3460000

Thank you

I believe that since it's preinstall mode only the driver file gets copied into the directory of your preinstallation. You can check if u7303029.drv is the directory of preinstallation.

Hanging of Thunderbird 38, gel and does not question. 17 accounts pop (Win 8.1, MalwareBytes and Windows Defender)

Since the update of Thunderbird to 38.* I had nothing but problems with Thunderbird wedging (spinning wheel waiting), a "Mozilla Thunderbird (not answer) ' in the header bar, whiting of window application out and possibly TB box in hell - a small box to appear asking if I want to - close the program, expected so he can resolve itself , or check the internet, then close. I now give the floor it the box to hell (B2H - call it all you want, but I'm cursed every time he pop up!)

I did everything proposed here and nothing suits. I have used Thunderbird for years with all the same files and Add ons WITHOUT problem. On the first day of the 38 update everything has changed. When Mozilla realizes that it is in the upgrade and find the problem!

Here is what I tried with nothing working...
1. I don't have AVG, the only malware bytes and windows defender
2. it still happens in SafeMode with no active add-on.
3. I stopped saving function which slows down the frequency of the sinking, but did not eliminate the problem.
4. I have deleted hundreds of older emails, thinking it was that but who have done nothing.
5. I changed some accounts of POP at the thought of iMAP that was the problem but nothing has changed.
6. I made several attempts to patch both Mozilla support and outdoors on the net. Nothing works. Looking at all the people who have the same problems, I have to say that the problem is handling of file. I noticed that as the issue with others who have multi files and emails. The answer is not to reduce these volumes but to understand why thunderbird managed their fine before and what has changed to make the program hang now? Who should be on your end, taken responsibility. Keep us faithful and solve the problem...

Here are my tips...

A. I have several files and thousands of e-mails longer and have manged fines, as matter of fact, Thunderbird has been great. Then like a good stooge I approved the moz and did my upgrade to 38. Never had a problem before the upgrade. After the upgrade, everything went to *.

B. the 38 version upgrade was a big change. When I look in the folder that has been labeled the envoys or Inbox folder (where all emails from each account is collected), all the emails listed would disappear when I moved my mouse over them! Emails disappearing! They were there in records specific e-mail below but not but in the case of head as if it were just a day earlier and with the upgrade. I thought that as an addition on the question and waited for the difficulty that happened not so long ago. Again, which could be a problem of record add-on.

C. the upgrade to 38 were other issues, but if the madness going no problem was not bad enough, the problem seems to be growing with each ' update or bugfix that followed. Don't hold me to it but I think it was in 38.1.2 or 8 (I think that's it. I wasn't paying attention, but if I had known that I would have to tell it, I will!) That's when hanging interminably long. When the program closed at least I got a project saved, then I read on line that the problem was the registration of open messages, I turned the auto reduction. He did change the frequency of the hanging (white screen pause) and timing (where the B2H appears), but he was always there and always!

D. I had hoped with 38.2 there will be improvements. Nothing has changed. I didn't know that 38.3 would make this change/fix, but it's not. If I write all this, so you have what I know as a loyal user since 2007.

E. here is what you need to complete the picture. I'm on a PC running 8.1. on an Intel i7-4770, with 32 GB of ram, now you tell me when you will issue the update to fix the problem! Once again, Mozilla, I suggest you start by looking at how TB 38 manages several emails, files and archives. Not all of us have only one e-mail account. Most of us have been really happy with TB before 38. If you can't find the question, can you show us how to get back to a version prior to 38?

Thanks for listening and hope that helps!

Problem with the upgrade to version 37.0.1 - update just "hangs".

I am currently in Firefox 36.0.4 on a Windows 7 Pro computer. I tried twice to move to Firefox 37.0.1 WITHOUT success. Once the software is downloaded and start the upgrade, the upgrade appears just "hang" - nothing happens after 15 minutes, which is much too long to do the upgrade previous updates of Firefox have NEVER took this long and I never had any problem with prerequisites updated to Firefox! My Windows 7 has the latest Microsoft patches. I don't know why this is happening. Any suggestions? For now I give up trying to pass to the 37.0.1 version.

He just go to www.getfirefox.com, download the new version and install it. All your data will be saved, but you will be running the most recent version.

After the installation of Office 2003, Word hangs on a Tecra A3

Hello

On my Toshiba Tecra A3 (1.86 GHz Pentium, 1 GB RAM) I had until yesterday Office 2000 it emits the ideal way.
Now, I installed Office 2003 and I am unable to work with Word.

The program hangs on each file that contains a single piece of simple photo or clip art. I can't believe it. A re-setup of Word did not help. Now, I installed again in parallel Word 2000 and it works flawless.

Hello

You must perform a new installation of Office 2003.

The use of the CCleaner is very useful, because this tool checks the programs and the entries in the registry for certain shortcomings

Satellite P300 with XP hangs at the screen "starting windows."

I recently bought the Satellite P300 - 01 and had XP installed on it. I have fixed all the problems except for the question, that I'm going to start.

When I turn on the laptop it loads everything flashes on the login screen and then hangs at 'starting windows' screen If I turn it off and then again about three times this issue finally arrives with the login screen. There was an ASP.NET account, and after the BIOS update that he disappeared, but the problem is still there? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

> There was an ASP.NET account, and he disappeared after the update of the BIOS
The whole story is really strange

I put t know how you installed XP on this laptop and why an ASP.NET account was created or exist, but in your case I would recommend doing so again.
Then install all service packs, hotfixes and patches of the XP!

Simply show words on XP on P300.
A friend of mine has installed XP on a P300 yesterday too and the XP works well
Everything works fine!

Satellite L300 freezes and hang many programs

Dear users of Toshiba

I use Vista Service Pack 2, 32-bit on Satelite L300. My computer hangs and many programs hang.
I get the following in the computer Manager error message:

«Filter event with the query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_Processor' AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace '//./root/CIMV2' because of error 0 x 80041003.»» Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected. »

Source: WMI
Event ID: 10

I tried to solve these and other numerous error messages I was getting (also the whole performance of the laptop was very poor and often broke) by reinstalling Vista Service Pack 1 and then I upgraded to Service Pack 2.

Unfortunately, I still get the same error message as above and performance has not improved dramatically.
Any help will be really appreciated, how to resolve this error and improve performance.

Hello

In my opinion, the operating system installed is confused upward.
Do not know that if you can fix this installation of patches or fixes eventually the operating system must be installed once more

But before that you would try to new recovery procedure, I recommend that you test the CCleaner.
The tool is freeware and it cleans the registry and removes some not necessary files and repair the operating system.

Maybe it helps you keep your fingers crossed :)

Satellite P300-1EI - hangs upward after Windows Update

After update to Windows Installer the last update (27/12/08), Windows Vista always hangs up on the screen "Please wait" after the reboot.

After the call to Toshiba support, I was told that it was advisable to do a full restore from the HARD drive and disable Windows Update.

Y at - it a patch/update driver/firmware to fix this problem and be able to activate Windows Update?

Hello!

It s unclear not for me it's such a program or patch available for this program.

What you can do is to start in safe mode and remove the update.
If you have no success, I agree with the support from Toshiba. You must perform a HARD drive recovery. Press F8 at startup, choose 'Repair your computer' and follow the instructions in the menu
