  • How to remove all corrupted files and Roxio?

    New problem since the last automatic download of an update to my Windows Vista:

    On Windows Vista, whenever I start a program, I get the error message ' (programname) .exe - damaged file. " The file or the directory c:\program files\common Roxio shared is damaged and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility. »

    I have run checkdisk repeatedly, but always the same error message every time that any program starts.

    I tried to uninstall all the subprogrammes of Roxio in this folder, but the "uninstall" program would not do that.

    I also tried to reinstall Roxio of CD disc programs and Vista wouldn't let me do it anymore.

    My other programs all work perfectly, so I take it that it is not the executable file for these various programs that is corrupt, only the one Roxio.

    The MacAfee program tells me that I have no virus it can see.

    How can I remove this corrupt file/folder? Or at least stop getting this error message?

  • How to remove some downloaded files?

    Hello
    I have the screen of data entry in which users enter all mandatory values and download support files.
    I have created a temporary 'TEMP' table to track details of downloaded file, and then view these downloaded files
    I've created a report with the following query:

    SELECT a.file_id, a.file_name, a.file_desc
    OF APEX_APPLICATION_FILES a, b TEMP
    WHERE b.name = b.SID
    AND b.entry_id =: P341_ENTRY_ID;

    I have converted the first column of the query as a link.

    with this I am able to display all downloaded files and passing the url in file id in the query, I am able to download all the files.

    How to remove selective files in this report? say if I have 5 files I want to remove the 1st third and one?

    I need to create link for each line in this similar to file_id report or
    do I have to use the link in the column or
    I create checkbox next to each line?

    Thank you
    Manoi.

    Guillot:

    You can create a 'tabular form' based on your query. The tabular form wizard allows the operation of 'Remove' against the lines selected according to the report.

  • How to remove FCP7 rendering files, using FCPX or Finder

    Hello

    I am trying to eliminate unnecessary files.  For any project FCPX, I see that there is a process to remove the render files.  But what I do with projects created in FCP7?  These are projects which have had their XML files imported for use in FCPX, or I want to only keep the original media, even if they were previously published.

    Can make deleted files just in the Finder under one or the other scenario or both?

  • How to remove unused library files? (Beginner)

    On my first website FLASH CS4 I passed multiple PS files and re-imported into the scene several times. Now, the library contains many files, i.e. Web Site.psd active 1 / Web Site.psd assets 2 / Web Site.psd assets 3 etc etc... Of course, they contain the same active names, each with a corrected content.

    How can I determine what files are used and delete all others in the library?

    Thanks for your advice

    Yve

    I have CS4, but if it's something like CS3, there should be a small icon menu at the top of the library that when consulted includes an option to select unused items.  You should be able to right-click on the selection and delete everything in the menu that appears.  I recommend trying on a copy of your file rather than the original... just in case.

  • How to remove the pdf files created on the server using cfdocument pdf?

    I use < cfdocument format = "pdf"...

    to create a .pdf file dynamically generated and named and it works pretty well. Marine managers can easily send the pdf to ships in the fleets and planning forces in the shipyards. (Planning data changes almost every day). However I noticed that the pdf file remains on the server. Over time, this could become a problem with numbers. is there something I'm missing to remove these PDF files over time. Other that a manual check and delete. This Government server requires 4 connections and your right arm to put self to day, so something is needed.

    Using a task for this problem is something easy (and I think than a common to solve such problems).

    Just to give you an idea (or probably the whole solution, but it is not tested):


    <>
    Directory = "" #variables.strDirPath # ""
    name = "qDir.
    action = "LIST".
    Filter = "*.pdf" / >
