Is it still possible to update Firefox by installing a MAR file manually? It seems properly update files, but do not update the registry keys in Windows...
Hi, I need to update Firefox on multiple computers where I work. So, after reading this article, https://wiki.mozilla.org/Software_Update:Manually_Installing_a_MAR_file, I have prepared my file containing the complete update (Full MAR 36.0) and the file updater.exe. Then, I run the following command with no problems.
Updater.exe C:\Temp\FirefoxUpdate\ ' %ProgramFiles% (x 86) %\Mozilla Firefox ' "%ProgramFiles% (x 86) %\Mozilla Firefox '.
In the log file update.status that I see "successful." I then launch Firefox to check if everything is in order and indeed the program has been updated to version 36.0. Good! But, when I go in "Add/Remove Program" in the control panel (Windows 7 Ent SP1 x 64 French) line still says that I have the 35.0.1 older version installed. Is this normal? If I manually start the update, using the full installer of Firefox, or if I update Firefox by using the update search in the "about Firefox" then everything works correctly, including the "Add/Remove program. Could someone please confirm that there is indeed a problem?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Hi guigs2, I finally found the reason why it did not work.
https://wiki.Mozilla.org/Software_Update:Manually_Installing_a_MAR_file
And I use this method to update to Firefox, because the user doesn't have to close Firefox during the installation of the update. And there is no popup Window, without warning, etc. Unless there is a better way to update Firefox without having to close with force the browser of the user when an update is available?
Thanks again for the help!

You can open projects from versions with Premiere Pro, Yes. But I agree with Bob - make a copy of the project and open the copy. You won't be "up the Creek" if something goes wrong.

is it possible to update the new beta 2 SDK?
Hi, is it possible to update the old sdk to the latest beta2?
or is the only way to uninstall it and then install again?
Hello
Indeed, you can install the Beta 2 in a separate Directory, because it comes with the QDE together. However, I would say to a different workspace to avoid problems if you are still planning to use Beta 1 with these projects.

Satellite A100-207: is it possible to update the graphics card for games
Hello
I am looking to buy the laptop Toshiba A100-207 and it comes with 128 MB shared graphics.
I would like to play games and I was wondering if I could update the graphics (for example, a nvidia card I could buy and put in) or the fixed graphics?
I just want to know if I am able to upgrade?
Thank you
Hello
In my opinion the graphics card or processor is not welded on the new generation of mobile phones. The parts must be simply plugged into the card.
But this does not change the status of the upgrade.
Eventually, you will be able to remove the graphics card but I m sure that you will have problems of compatibility with other hardware.Fastest graphics card produces more heat and the temperature will automatically increase to a higher level. This would lead to overheating in the question and the laptop would be either closed or not starts.
PC desktop technology is simply different as on laptops. You can also compare different graphics cards. Laptop factory uses only graphics card chips what don t supports a clean cooling module.It simply says s not possible to update the graphics card.

Because the graphics card in the A60 Equium is not very good and I was wondering if I could get a different graphics card and plug it into the back and used instead.
If someone could tell me if I can I would be very grateful
Hello
No, it s not possible to update the graphics card to another.
As you certainly know, the laptop technology is not the same as the desktop PC simply. It s the motherboard technology all just different. You know that heat is a bigger problem for every laptop and generally of designer, developer and manufacturing. In addition, the various interfaces are not equal.For example: what do you think, why Intel doesn't produce chips with speeds of 10 GHz, 100GHz, or 1000GHz. Because of the heat.
I think that the graphics card performance will produce more heat, and this could lead to overheating problems.
The other graphics card needs another module of cooling and the cooling module must be compatible with the motherboard. Everything needs to be changed (the case design, interfaces, etc.) before the upgrade might be possible. In my view it is simply not possible at the moment. -

Usually it of not possible to update the graphics cards installed in notebooks!
Laptop technology is simply different!
The graphics card is attached to the motherboard and it of not possible to remove it in a simple way.I have always recommended to use the computer to play the game!
If you need the computer for hardcore games you should buy a desktop computer.
Why? Because the latest games need for most fastest graphics card and the desktop PC can be upgraded much easily as a laptop.But finally it of your choice what you use ;)

Hi, lawless,
Looks like it's not. (HMM) hardware maintenance manual says about p.82 the microprocessor and the GPU is soldered to the system board. It is in the section on replacing the system board.
If you give a code anything you try to doa or who need to, here another user may be able to tell if the chart Nviidia or Intel is capable of this.

Update the registry access denied problem
Hi all
I use win7 ultimate x 64 as a MSDN. English version.This week I tried to install privateinternetaccess.com's private Internet access software.
The installation failed and it turns out that I have some sort of error message access denied on updates of the register.
I just tried to upgrade to the latest version of vmware player and I get this message:
The MSI failed "C:\users" (the msi vmware)
Could not write value for the \system\currentcontrolset\services\vmware\performance key. Check that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support team.
Since this is the second product which complained access refused to write a registry entry, I think that the problem is really that there is a problem in writing to registry entries. I'm an admins on the machine and I am the only user of the machine. I have had the machine for three years so I admined in my user name years.
I went looking for a restore point that is usually automatically created by windows update. But when I checked for restore points there is not. This seems odd. I've seen windows update tell me he was creating restore points.
What I want to do is to see if I can go back to a previous state relatively easily. But I can not find the opportunity to go back through the windows update process. Because I thought that windows update took points of restoration and protection of the disks in drive C is turned on I didn't manually restore points.
So my questions are:
Q1. Has anyone seen a problem where the ability to write registry keys is suddenly disabled for a user who is an administrator? I can't imagine just trying to install privateinternetaccess has disabled my ability to update registry keys. There must be something else that would have caused this. I also had Director of windows fails, and I could not make it work for a few months. It could be related.
Q2. If I did not restore points manually and the disk protection is enabled for the drive C and windows update has updated the operating system for years. How should I go back a month or two, through the windows update option? Is it possible to do?
Q3. If I can reinstall everything else fails. I put the MSDN DVD in the machine to run through the process of preparation for resettlement. When he asks if I want to update or install quite a new OS with none of the backup files, I said it upgraded. But in the phase of 'control' it says that the OS on the machine is newer than the operating system on the DVD (DVD win7 is 2009). So I wonder if I would have to reinstall the OS from scratch.
This has been a very annoying problem. I can't, for the life of me, find out how my ability to write to the registry is blocked as an admins. I can only imagine that there is some sort of permissions problem where something said that writing in the register should be blocked. The only thing I can imagine is that some app, perhaps privateinternetaccess has changed a few settings to block updates.
Another thing. I recently bought a small mp3 to wear while jogging. He was not able to find the update of the driver on this machine, so I tried to plug it into my laptop running win7 as well. The pilot was found immediately. It was a week ago. So this could be another symptom of this problem where the driver for an mp3 player was not found.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance if you're able to point me in the right direction on this one.
PS. I found this entry.
http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-system/access-denied-setting-owner-andor-permissions-on/71cdd66a-75Ce-4E79-BACE-89637e0dacae
So I went in regedit as admins and looked over my permissions for the local computer. I am an administrator and full permissions for the registry entries. I see that the key of vmware isn't there and this would confirm that I wasn't able to write the registry key in the installation process. So it seems quite as my user is blocked update registry entries for a reason any.
PPS. I've logged on username administrator and also tried installing vmware player and received the same message. So not even administrator has the ability to write to the registry for the moment. ?? very strange.
Best regards

If you still get the problem of the erratically during the installation with elevated privileges, I would advise you all to first uninstall any partial installation of vmware/privateinternetaccess programs using the Revo uninstall utility. The program comes in freeware or professional and freeware is not a "paralyzed" piece of software. The software quickly and completely uninstall the software that won't leave your computer and will catch installs partial which do not arise with the traditional programs and feature, uninstall native utility Windows.
Professional and Revo Uninstaller Freeware
When your system was purified of any previous attempts installation, perform a clean boot to prevent outside process interfere with the installation process.

This will start Windows conventional (i.e. not safe boot) and allow you to install the software. If you restart the installation process using run as administrator , I suspect you will have success.

best method to update the primary key
Can someone tell me the best possible method to update the primary key so that the foreign key is also updated.
Please explain with example940340 wrote:

Please explain with exampleYou're after a mechanism that lets you update the primary key sometimes on some lines, or did you just impossible, which means that you must update all the data because of some kind of change in the structural definition?
If all you need is a rational method to change keys sometimes (and this isn't quite mortal sin that other posters have been suggesting) then recreate your foreign key as a constraint can be delayed may help.
Oracle allows no you cascading updates automatically for primary keys, but if the foreign key is carried forward you can proceed as follows:
set constraint {foreign key constraint name} deferred; update parent primary key; update child foreign key; set constraint {foreign key constraint name} immediate;

I have a MBP of 2009 end. I updated the material to 8 GB of ram with an SSD of 240gig. I want to run the new OSX, but is not on the list approved for the update. Anyone know why?
It is a decision that was made by Apple. El Capitan is the newest OSX that will support a 2009 MBP.
This is not uncommon. My 2006 MBP came with Tiger, but is limited to OSX Snow Leopard.
Old hardware ends up by becoming obsolete with newer technology.
Ciao.
