my cd-rom reads some discs but not others like command and conquer. the first decade. IM using windows xp serv pack 3__

my cd rom usually read some disks but others will read

mkuholr,
When you say that you "tried other cd rom" do you mean you replaced the drive to CD or just tried another disc?  If you haven't tried another drive and it's something that you are able to do, I would say that.  It is possible that it could be hardware related.

I would also say that you check that you do not have any type of infection on your system.  Get rid of malware Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • Why Oracle ManagedDataAccess (4.121.1.0) throws a System.FormatException "first chance" exception to the debugger when you use OracleCommand.BindByName (on some machines, but not others)?

    Why Oracle ManagedDataAccess (4.121.1.0) throws a System.FormatException "first chance" exception to the debugger when you use OracleCommand.BindByName (on some machines, but not others)?

    This occurs when calling a ref cursor-returning packaged function stored with OracleCommand.BindByName set to true.

    When BindByName undefined, it works as expected.

    I've only been able to recreate this problem on a machine in my control. This issue has also reported to me by a customer.

    I tried to change the locale of the system of EN - UK EN-US, but I was not aware of any change in behavior.

    Similarly, I've tried explicitly overriding the default locale of the system with the OracleGlobalization parameters, and it also had no effect.

    Please see the example below.

    Thanks a lot to qualify again for me Alex.  I'll try upgrading to the latest version of the provider.

    The difference in behavior between the two hosts was found to be reduced to differences in configuration VS.

    Checking 'Just my code' prevents the first chance thrown in the debugger exception. As in fact, the exception is handled in the provider, it is enough for me.

  • Why do AS3 highlighting some fonts, but not others (which are quite common)?

    Hi all!

    I have a simple question that hopefully has a simple answer (which mocks me with his elusive). In the code below (from "University of Programming ActionScript 3.0 Game" of Gary Rosenzweig (2nd ed.)), I declare a style sheet simple using AS3 supported all the tags/attributes to emphasize a HTML link. My question is this: why AS3 don't highlight the chosen font (Arial), but still it will highlight some other fonts I have to substitute (such as "Times New Roman" and "Garamond")?

    // create a basic format
    var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    myFormat.font = "Arial";
    myFormat.size = 24;
    myFormat.bold = true;
    var myStyleSheet:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
    myStyleSheet.setStyle("A",{textDecoration: "underline", color: "#0000FF"});
    // create a text field with a Web URL link
    var myWebLink:TextField = new TextField();
    myWebLink.defaultTextFormat = myFormat;
    myWebLink.styleSheet = myStyleSheet;
    myWebLink.selectable = false;
    myWebLink.htmlText = "Visit <A HREF='http://flashgameu.com'>FlashGameU.com</A>!";
    myWebLink.x = 80;
    myWebLink.y = 90;
    myWebLink.width = 400;
    myWebLink.height = 30;
    addChild(myWebLink);
    var myLink:TextField = new TextField();
    myLink.defaultTextFormat = myFormat;
    myLink.styleSheet = myStyleSheet;
    myLink.selectable = false;
    myLink.htmlText = "Click <A HREF='event:testing'>here</A>";
    myLink.x = 80;
    myLink.y = 190;
    myLink.width = 400;
    myLink.height = 30;
    addChild(myLink);
    addEventListener(TextEvent.LINK, textLinkClick);
    function textLinkClick(event:TextEvent) {
     trace(event.text);
    }
    

    The underscore is here, that you're not just allowing sufficient height for the textfield object to show him.  TNR is a shorter police to the same font size, he manages to appear in 30 height.

  • VPN fails under W8 on some networks but not others

    I'm back to an Institute that I visited last year.  Last year, I was using a Windows 7 machine, and two VPN services that I use worked perfectly.  This year I'm back, but with a machine of Windows 8.  Neither the VPN service works.  Furthermore, I have excluded the problem in network of the Institute, because my wife brought his Windows 7 machine with it, and it still works perfectly.  The problem is subtle: on a side-trip to Berlin, VPN Windows 8 worked well a of the hotel network.

    Here are the two errors I receive, each with a different VPN server:

    1 standard server VPN in Windows 7 on my desktop at home: "error 806: the VPN connection between your computer and the VPN server was not successful...". "He goes on to say that the most common problem is that something is not configured to allow packets to the Protocol GRE Generic Routing Encapsulation ().

    2. the University VPN server: "Error 800: remote connection does not because attempts VPN tunnels failed...". »

  • Firefox does not work for multiple instances of the SAME user account on Windows Multipoint Server 2011

    We have a PC HP of MulitSeat MS6200
    It runs Microsoft Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 (which seems to be a twisted version of Windows 7)
    It is implemented in a laboratory of computer science and students connect you using their account for shared room - IE multiple instances of the same user accounts are currently running on the PC at the same time.
    The first student to run Firefox can work with it without a problem.
    However, when another student try to start firefox they get the following message:
    Firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

    Cannot start Firefox using a profile that is already used by someone else.
    Each Firefox instance needs its own profile or you will get this error message.

    Use-no.-line switch remote control to open another instance of Firefox with its own profile and to different instances of Firefox running concurrently.

  • Firefox saves some passwords, but not others

    It won't save my password for mail.yahoo.com but stores all my other passwords. I entered NOTHING in the Exceptions box under Security > passwords, and no. Yahoo entered any there in the section registered passwords.

    I tried to restart all and clear all cache and user data.

    The Web of Yahoo site uses autocomplete = off to prevent registration of data in form as the name and password of Firefox.

    You can remove autocomplete = off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox to store data of form such as names and passwords.

    Note that Firefox doesn't form data automatically populate automatically saved when autocomplete = off is used, you must double-click the empty name field for a drop-down list.

    Basically, I want to give a public IP address to one of our nodes inside the firewall. I know I could give him a private address and NAT from the public to the private sector, but I want to give the node address and no NAT at all and keep all the benefits of a firewall. It is a PIX 501.

    Let me know if it is still possible.

    You can certainly. Use the following command to do this:

    Then, create an ACL with the addresses that you do not want to be NAT'ed:

  • Command and Conquer Zero Hour does not

    There's this game: Command and Conquer Zero Hour

    He used to work on windows XP but now on windows 7, it does not work I do not know why...?

    This is the same version that worked on XP...

    I FOUND THIS POSTED BY SOME GENIUS CALLED DARKRAJIN AND IT WORKS ON THE GENERALS AND THE GENERALS ZERO HOUR

    This I found on another page and thought I'd share it here as long as it worked for me.

    I have a core i5 laptop running windows 7 Home premium 64-bit with an ATI graphics card and I had exactly the same problems to make C & C Generals and zero hour to work.

    Good news - just managed managed to make it work, and it IS Windows 7 that causes the problem, specifically, it is to do with permissions to access the folders - Windows 7 blocks access to the folders that uses General to run.

    The way I fixed it was:

    In 'My Documents' (usually to the C:\users\YOURNAME\documents), there should be a folder named "Command and Conquer Generals data" or "Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour data", which was put there when you installed the game.  You must create a text file in Notepad, and then save it in that folder.  However, you need to click on ' Save as ' and change the drop-down list box as text (.txt) file type to "all files".  Then save the file as "options.ini."

    Before you register, paste this text into the file to start:

    Anti-aliasing = 1
    BuildingOcclusion = yes
    DrawScrollAnchor =
    DynamicLOD = no
    ExtraAnimations = yes
    GameSpyIPAddress = 0.0.0.0
    Gamma = 50
    IPAddress = 0.0.0.0
    IdealStaticGameLOD = high
    LanguageFilter = true
    MaxParticleCount = 5000
    MoveScrollAnchor =
    MusicVolume = 55
    Resolution = 1024 768
    Retaliation = yes
    SFX3DVolume = 79
    SFXVolume = 71
    ScrollFactor = 50
    SendDelay = no
    ShowSoftWaterEdge = yes
    ShowTrees = yes
    StaticGameLOD = custom
    TextureReduction = 0
    UseAlternateMouse = no
    UseCloudMap = yes
    UseDoubleClickAttackMove = no
    UseLightMap = yes
    UseShadowDecals = yes
    UseShadowVolumes = yes
    VoiceVolume = 100

    It's just how the game remembers what options you chose (the music volume, brightness and others) and you can change them once the game is running using the menu options.

    Now the bits of the key - first, make sure you have full read/write permissions for the folder Command and Conquer Generals data: to do this right click on the file, then properties then the Security tab and change the permissions for all users.  It could also be useful in making sure that no file is 'Read only' in this folder.

    Change the compatibility mode of the game by right-clicking on the game in the start menu, click Properties, click the Compatibility tab.  I used the "Change settings for all users" button down and changed to Windows XP (SP3), as well as to check the "run as Administrator box".

    Hey Presto! It worked, demystify the myth according to which C & C Generals will not work on 64 bit systems (as some people have said).  In all honesty, I have not tried online multiplayer yet, a few skirmishes.

    Good luck!
