  • I can't get out of safe mode when starting, and can not run the Setup program from windows XP in safe mode.

    I have a XP box that would only start in safe mode.  I needed to repair windows, so I started updating reinstall option but to reboot it says it cannot run in safe mode then it tries to boot into normal mode but crashes - which is what I am tring to solve.  Now I'm stuck because the computer is now making a loop and I'm stuck.  There is no available recovery console, it shows just the installation restart then goes into the shot.  If I try to launch safe mode, that it says cannot run update in safe mode then restarts in normal mode, which hangs then.  I'm stuck.  Boy the days where I wish I could just make the prompt C:\.  Thank you.

    You can connect your problematic hard drive to another PC to copy your important data, using a device such as:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16812161002

    or

    I'm still not 100% convinced that you boot from the CD. Your Dell has the option of F12 to select a boot real-time device (as soon as you turn on the PC)? Also, remember that you have to "press any key to boot from the CD" when you see this screen! Of course, during a reboot, you start from the hard drive.

    Even if you did everything by the book, a repair installation could easily 'loop' as you describe. But as long as your hardware is healthy, a clean install is done.

  • I can not run the Setup program for great Chase Through Time of Carmen Sandiego on my Windows 7 laptop.

    It is an ancient game I want to play again for old times sake, but my laptop is a 64-bit that the installer says that it is not compatible with. Is there any compatibility mode setting that helps?

    Hello

    Which edition of windows 7 you are using?

    Step 1: This game is not compatible with windows 7. You can try to install in compatibility mode and check.

    Step 2: If you still experience the same problems of compatibility in install / playing this game you can use windows XP mode.

    Windows XP mode cannot be installed on the following editions on windows 7.

    ·          Professional

    ·          Ultimate

    ·          Enterprise

  • Can not run the program "keytool": java.io.IOException

    Hello

    I would like to follow the procedure to change the password
    glassfish server hosting APEX earphone
    using the change key word subcommand of past, but the keytool utility
    not found:

    GlassFish@ahost:/opt/glassfish3/GlassFish/Domains/mydom01/config >/opt/glassfish3/bin/asadmin
    / opt/glassfish3/bin/asadmin
    Use "exit" to exit and online 'help' for help.
    asadmin > change of master-password mydom01
    Enter the current password > changeit

    Enter the new password > changedit

    Re-enter the new password > changedit

    Can not run the program "keytool": java.io.IOException: error = 2, no such file or directory
    Past change key word command failed.
    asadmin >
    Multimode command failed.
    GlassFish@ahost:/opt/glassfish3/GlassFish/Domains/mydom01/config > what java

    GlassFish@ahost:/opt/glassfish3/GlassFish/Domains/mydom01/config >

    Glassfish entire works well outside it.

    keytool could be found in/usr/java/latest/bin/keytool.

    We need to have that in the path? There is no requirement in the
    Installation Guide for this, nor did the RPM installation adjust the system
    path accordingly.

    I hope someone can tell my how things should be in regards to keytool?

    Thank you, Tom

    Hi Tom,

    the procedure to change the password for the listener of glassfish server hosting APEX

    ... more like a topic related to GlassFish for me. I guess you will get the best answers to these questions in a GlassFish related forum...

    For what it's worth, I'll try my best even when:

    Can not run the program "keytool": java.io.IOException: error = 2, no such file or directory

    This seems to be a pretty clear error message: keytool , which probably is used to manage keys for users of GlassFish, was not found. This means, you are either running on an operating system that is not officially certified for GlassFish, or you GlassFish has not been configured correctly.
    You have run

    GlassFish@ahost:/opt/glassfish3/GlassFish/Domains/mydom01/config > which java
    / usr/bin/Java

    ... which means that you assume your GlassFish runs without being set JAVA_HOME. If that's true, I'm install you GlassFish correctly from this setting.
    Anyway, you have also discovered that

    keytool could be found in/usr/java/latest/bin/keytool.

    ... that is not + / usr / bin + and probably not in the way of global search of the user on whose behalf your GlassFish is running. Then, you can either create a link [*] for c++ / usr/bin/keytool + do (finally) to + / usr/java/more late/bin/keytool +, or you setup JAVA_HOME to be + / usr/java/last +.
    [*] Note that depending on your operating system, there may be more than one stage of indirection, for example my Ubuntu a + / usr/bin/java + pointing on + / etc/alternatives/java + which points on + / usr/lib/jvm/java-6-Sun/jre/bin/java + where + / usr/lib/jvm/java-6-Sun / + points to the directory containing the real JDK to use. You will probably find something like this on your system. My Ubuntu box has a link for + / usr/bin/keytool +, so I get when running "what keytool.

    We need to have that in the path? There is no requirement in the installation guide for that, nor the RPM installation has adjusted the path system accordingly.

    Again, this is not a forum of GlassFish.

    I hope my advice helps you solve your problem. If they are not, please choose the appropriate forum for your next post on this topic. And I guess, giving additional information about your OS and how you manage your JDK (and which version you use) help people here to help you.

    Thank you

  • Can not reinstall the CC program after uninstalling (in this case, bridge)

    Another that wishing for a box where I have complete control, what can I do?

    ~ Jane

    Hi Jeff,

    After 3-4 days, the other apps has had an update. After the update, all of a sudden I could install bridge CC. Go figure. But it's working now.

    Uninstall and reinstall is not obvious or easy with Creative cloud, and I was hoping for the boxed version where I had control over things like this unstead of spending hours doing Google searches and chatting with technical support. I had not activated the software or even he launched before uninstalling.

    As I said, it works now. But it must be an easier process!

  • I can not run the most recent version. I get a window saying firefox.exe is not a Win32 file

    I can install the 5.0.1 version but it won't work. I got this version works when someone elso was using my computer. I don't know how it happened, but the calculation froze and I couldn't run Firefox afterwards. I got Firefox to my computer. Downloaded the latest version once again and I tried to run it. I've done several times without success

    It seems that the installation is corrupt.

    Follow these steps.

    1. Go to Download Firefox 5.0.1 and download the installer to your desktop. If necessary, use Internet Explorer to download, but in this case, choose "Save" when you see the prompt. Do not choose "Run"
    2. Then go to add/remove programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and delete it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations, etc. (don't tick the box).
    3. Reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    4. Finally, run the installation file downloaded previously on the desktop.

    Your bookmarks, etc., customizations are stored in a different location and will become available to you even once you complete the installation.

    As a precaution, make a backup of your bookmarks as follows:

    1. Press CTRL + SHIFT + B to open the Bookmarks Manager.
    2. Click on the link to import and backup and then click on HTML Export and save the file somewhere.

    You can use this file at any time to restore your bookmarks if that proved necessary. Simply reverse the procedure and choose "Import HTML" instead.

    NB. If you use a download accelerator, turn it off before trying to download Firefox. These utilities are a common cause of corrupt files, in which case you get the error message you mentioned.

    If this suggestion solves the problem for you, please click the button solved next to this post after logging in to the forum. This will help others looking for a solution to the same problem.
