  If the problem is related to a corrupted catalog, try to open the organizer with a new empty catalog.

  Hold down the SHIFT key at the launch of the Organizer. You get a dialog box with the choice to start with a new catalog, or start with a different catalog and even to 'fix' the current catalog. If your organizer starts with an empty catalog, use the option 'fix' on your corrupt catalog.

• Satellite P850 take about 4 minutes to start Windows after the Welcome screen

  Hey

  My SATELLITE P850 take some time after the Welcome screen to start windows, it was like this the first time that I get it.

  Any help or idea?

  thx a lot

  Have you changed anything in your system or maybe the HARD drive? Did you create a partition?
  4 min to complete the startup process is really long
  Have you installed an antivirus software? Maybe a Norton Antivirus?
  I got this software installed on my laptop and it took an eternity to boot the system.
  I replaced Norton Antivirus with free ware software called Avast!.
  Now the Windows starts for 30 sec

• sqldeveloper - 4.0.3.16.84 - x 64 crashes after the splash screen

  I had successfully used my installation of sqldeveloper - 4.0.3.16.84 - x 64 last week. After an update to windows 7 enterprise SP1 crashes after the splash screen and about 10% of the progress bar, until the message saying it is saving the extensions. There is no error or other messages of information displayed. I tried to run from a command window produces no additional information. I deleted the sqldeveloper folder and downloaded a zip file and reinstalled. Same behavior.

  

  The Data Modeler works very well.

  Any suggestions on how to do this problem.

  Hi Andy,.

  If the problem is not with the installation of SQL Developer (which you have unpacked in an empty directory) or find the JDK or having a JDK version that is inappropriate, you should then see if your user settings has been corrupted or (maybe) is somehow became less accessible than before the update of Windows 7 SP1.  These settings can be found under C: \Users\-Appdata\Roaming\SQL Developer\system4.0.3.16.84.

  
  

  Here is a compilation of a few standard tips offered several times before on this forum for this kind of situation:

  1 see if behavior persists after the removal of the settings and restart SQL Developer without migrating settings.

  (Be sure to make a backup (export) of your connections first!)

  2. see if (assuming that (1) does not help) allows to reinstall SQL Developer.

  If the fault cannot be placed on a migration of settings / download / installation corrupt, then we can start to consider...

  3. possible problΦmes with older JDK.

  4 OutOfMemory possible problΦmes that may be hidden by running only no Developer SQL from a command line console.

  5. a new bug.

  So try (1) and (2) If you have not already.  Ignore (3) If you are already using jdk7_u51 or later and are not on a Mac.  Point (4) can be a problem if you have many windows to restore and did not mount the Xmx values in the file product.conf - especially if you use a 64 bit JDK.  And (5), if you have the urge, see...

  http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2012/06/how-to-collect-Debug-Info-for-Oracle-SQL-Developer/

  And if you want to try (1) in a clean 'sandbox' unaffected by existing directories of user settings, you can always add one

  AddVMOption - Dide.user.dir =

  line to your sqldeveloper.conf file.

  Hope this helps,

  Gary

  SQL development team

  P.S.: And keep in mind that SQL Developer "score" to a specific JDK in 4.0 and above all used the SetJavaHome in the product, conf, rather than sqldeveloper.conf

• Win XP crashes after the splash screen (charge PointSec)

  I have a laptop lenovo t400, which has Pointsec Encryption (6.1.3), and WinXP loaded thereon.

  I ran the update tool think that Vantage Lenovo that has downloaded and installed a number of updates - I didn't run it for centuries.

  Now when I try to start the computer it crashes after the XP splash screen is displayed. Simply, the screen goes black.

  I tried the options Mode safe (include VGA Mode and start with the last successful configuration) without success. Also, they fail to start.

  The flow rate is:

  Power On, screen authentication PointSec, Win XP Splash screen, and then a black screen

  I got successfully into the system using UBCD4Win with pointsec plugin loaded, load a WinPE environment on a USB and allows me to access the C: drive unencrypted (as I've authenticated with Pointsec).

  I'm really stuck for ideas as to the update is the cause of the problem and I'd love to hear some suggestions on how to remedy this situation.

  --

  Additional information:

  The last lines in ntbtlog.txt is:

  Not load the parallel driver live

  Did not load driver bios SM service

  Did not load driver SM bus service

  Loaded driver \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\Cdfs.SYS

  Search:

  c:\Windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$

  Looks like that Service Pack 3 has been installed:

  File: spuninst\spuninst, inf shows:

  NtServicePackVersionText = "Service Pack 3".
  NtServicePackPreviousVersionText = "Service Pack 2".

  Fixed!

  The problem has been updates to lenovo (probably guilty being the video driver that I presume).

  Using UBCD4Win with pointsec plugin I was able

  * Access to the decrypted c:

  * Restored manually updates to c:\windows\system32 and c:\windows\system32\drivers

  Original files have been found in places like: c:\windows\system32\reinstallbackups\008\DriverFiles

  * Finally, I had to roll back updates of the register who did the updates. UBCD4Win offers a tool to do this: the registry Restore Wizard. He basically just look in c:\System Volume Information System Restore directory and lists all the Restore Points available (Fortunately the Lenovo updates mark a restore point until they run). You can also do it manually using the following instructions:

  http://hypography.com/forums/tutorials-and-how-tos/17193-XP-recovery-instructions-for-UBCD4Win.html

  This makes the system successfully booted.

  I've most definitely will be staying clear after you press the big blue button in the future. It was a nightmare to fix.

• WITH video card driver, windows freezes after 10 seconds after the Welcome screen, WITHOUT a driver, it works fine

  Hi guys,.

  I recently had the problem that when I start my computer, it freezes after 10 seconds when I saw the Welcome screen.
  I'm in safe mode, it works perfectly fine. I have uninstall ALL my Nvidia drivers and then restart the computer in normal mode, and then everything works fine. I go to the Nvidia website again, download the latest drivers and the same freezing problem happens again. I also tried with older drivers provided by Nvidia, still the same problem.
  Completely, I formatted my HDD and reinstalled Windows 7. I install drivers Nvidia and the same problem again.
  I have a Nvidia Geforce 250GTS
  The processor is Intel Duo Core converted E6850 (boxed)
  4 GB of Ram DDR2 Ram
  East of card mother ASRock G31M-S

  Everyone knows that the problem is?
  Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English, I tried my best :)

  Hello.

  The video card drivers enable the features of the card to use.  When in safe mode or with no driver installed only the basic functions of the card are used.  If the card is faulty, which is more likely, the defective part of the map has probably come into play with the full drivers installed.  This explains why it works with the Basic setting.

  See you soon.

• AE crashes after the splash screen

  Hi guys,.

  AE (Version 13.6) starting up normally, but after the splash screen, it freezes into a white screen showing just the menu bar. If I delete all the files in the Prefs folder, it works perfectly.

  I upgraded my computer, all the drivers are updated. My graphics card is a GTX 970 and OS is Windows 10.

  Can someone help me, please!

  See you soon

  Contact Adobe support?

  Honestly, this looks like a graphic driver problem. As I said before, a lot of people had problems with them on the latest version of Windows. They would install the driver the most recent, but for some reason, it did not work. 10 windows and NVIDIA are fighting the driver. I did not get around upgrade to Windows 10, so I didn't really look into it enough to hold people solutions came with.

  It may be a show-stopper, but the Disk Defragmenter report reveals a situation that can't be helped.

  You have only 11% free space. You need a minimum of 15% to be able to run Disk Defragmenter, but ideally you need 20-25%. Go to these sales might be achievable if you have not already done some detailed below things.

  First of all, I would recommend that you download and install cCleaner. You will save some space by simply deleting the less important system restore points. Keep the last and before any update and delete the regular restore points. Follow the more detailed notes about cCleaner.

  A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.
  http://www.CCleaner.com/download

  1.9. When you open cCleaner you will see four large icons to the left of the window. Here's cleaner them, registry, tools, and Options. For routine maintenance, you normally acceding Cleaner (this is not the mentioned registry cleaner later). When using for the first time only, you can accept the default settings.

  1.10. some observations on the parameters. On my computer, I do not have the boxes before the passwords saved selected. In a less secure environment, you could check this option and set cCleaner to run automatically when the computer starts. You also cannot check the boxes in front of shortcuts from the Start Menu, desktop shortcuts and historical form. You must check the boxes according to your needs. Bad first time options causes irritating no disasters.

  1.11. the second icon that you see when you open cCleaner's registry. A reserve many experienced users have about cCleaner, it's that it comes with a registry cleaner. This tool should not be used. By using a registry cleaner, but it is the case, provides significant benefits and there is always the risk of creating insoluble system errors, which cannot be resolved by reinstalling the operating system and all that that implies. You will avoid any possible problem of not not by clicking on the Save icon.

  1.12 the third icon that you see when you open cCleaner is tools. If you click this icon, it gives you access a routine plus service options. The first two tools are uninstalled and commissioning. I do not use these tools, preferring to use other software options. The third tool is the restoration of the system, which is covered in the next paragraph. The fourth tool is Wiper Drive and you will find reviews about this tool later

  1.13 removing the system restore points can be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments. This makes it easier to hold the restore points for long periods without keeping large unwanted files, whose inflexible approach to disk cleanup fails to offer.

  1.14. you can't remove the last restore point using the cleaning disc or cCleaner. If the last restore point contains malicious software, you can turn off and then turn on system restore. This has the disadvantage that restore all points are removed when you want to keep more restore points that are not infected. How to get round this problem is to create a new restore point when you are satisfied with your computer is free of malware and then remove the infected restore point.

  1.15. in normal circumstances, you probably rarely need to use Driver wiper. However, there are situations like if you gave the computer to someone else, then the tool may be useful. Please note that the wiper Drive, opening, generates a warning message, which should not be dismissed lightly. Using wiper Drive for the wrong reason could have serious consequences.

  1.16 the fourth icon is labeled Options. Many configuration options are available here. You can configure cCleaner to run when start you but remember that this will slow down the boot. Another setting allows you to include or exclude cookies. Yet another allows files named to exclude

  You can create more free space in C by doing one of the following suggested measures.

  The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

  A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

  The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

  If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

  I'll be able to make other suggestions when you have worked through the list above.

• Black screen after the Welcome screen

  About 2 weeks ago, my wife had the icons on the home screen turn into white shadows and then the next start the computer it started properly (I guess), but once he spent the home screen to his profile (desktop) the screen went black. The mouse pointer is still on the screen and can be moved, but there is no bottom. If you Ctrl-alt-del the good screen comes up with the correct graphics. I tried to restore to an earlier date without result. She said that there was an update to adobe that it can ar may not have executed before the problem. I also tried last good configuration known without help. If I boot in the Safemode with networking, I have a black background, but the desktop icons are restored to normal. Don't want to run in safe mode for always. The ulitimate in Vista is an upgrade and not the version full and will not fix the problem.

  Hello

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
  Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
  on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.
