• A purple screen of death (.. .exception 14 to the world...) with Vsphere 5.5 and Windows 2012R2 Server (problem solved)

  Hello

  I think it is good to add here...

  I started now to migrate my server under Windows Server R2 2012. The virtual environment is vSphere 5.5 HP DL380G7 servers.

  Today, I have solved a hard crash of the host server after you have added a server Win2012R2. The symptoms are CMTF (purple screen of death) to the host (I was pleased that I have disabled the new customer HA; that would be a blow my other hosts).

  Basic message was "...". exception 14 worldwide xxxx... ».

  I solved it very simple by changing the E1000 to VMXNET3 virtual network card. For me, it looks like a bug to develop by VMware in the next versions. For now it works.

  I hope this information helps you!

  Good luck!

• Network with XP (32 bit) and Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

  Printer HP F4280 is directly connected to the XP computer and via a network cable modem connection to the computer Windows 8.1.

  The XP computer gets perfect prints. Windows 8.1 computer gets incomplete prints - shadow stuff are printed, the print is missing.

  I tried new drivers on each - XP only accepts a 32-bit driver. I put a 64-bit on windows 8.1 driver - nothing improved 8.1 prints.

  What can I do?

  Hi donpatent,

  If you connect the printer directly to the computer Windows 8.1 and install it, it prints correctly?

• EMC XtremIO Gen2 table, vSphere 5.5 and Windows Server 2012 R2 EFI

  We spin the new array of XtremIO Gen2 a POC of EMC and discovered a problem with customers running Windows Server R2 2012 or the EFI firmware. The details are in the blog below, but the goal here is to ask for the community of entry of anyone else running on XtremIO with firmware Win2k12 R2 and non - R2 and EFI/BIOS. EMC support is also working on this subject, so I can finish to post my reply here. Nevertheless, community information XtremIO is so limited (because of his November GA), I hope that this will make a difference.

  Blog/details: XtremIO Gen2 EMC and VMware: bcTechNet

  Environment:

  Dell PowerEdge R810/R820 hosts

  QLogic CNAs 8262 (5, 5-compatible firmware/drivers)

  Switches-Cisco Nexus 5548UP

  FCoE to guests; CF storage

  3Par T400 source of storage (FC 4 GB/s)

  Target storage XtremIO Gen2 (8 Gbps FC)

  VMware vSphere, ESXi 5.5 Build 1331820

  The Windows Server 2008 R2 (BIOS), 2012 (BIOS) clients and 2012 R2 (EFI)

  Storage 3PAR - no problem with all the guests

  XtremIO storage - can not (re) start guests R2 EFI 2012

  After a few weeks of troubleshooting by engineers from VMware and EMC/XtremIO, the question was determined to be a problem starting EFI replace a block of 7 MB in the XtremIO table, which filled the queue, and who would never clear that he expected more data to complete the communication (i.e. deadlock). This seems to happen only with firmware of EFI VMs (tested with 2012 Windows and Windows 2012 R2) and the question is on the end of XtremIO.

  The good news is that the problem can be mitigated by adjusting the Disk.DiskMaxIOSize parameter on each ESXi host by default 32 MB 32768-4 MB (4096). You can find it in vCenter > Home > Configuration > advanced settings (from the bottom) > drive > Disk.DiskMaxIOSize. The XtremIO team is working on a permanent fix in the meantime, and the workaround can be implemented hot with no impact on ongoing operations (potentially minor host CPU load increase as ESXi breaks > 4 MB e/s in MB 4 pieces).

  The rest of the ventilation on the latency, small block IO, etc. can be read here: XtremIO EMC and VMware EFI | bcTechNet

  Thank you, Darius, and EMC/XtremIO team.

• Why has my connection AirPort Extreme recently stopped with my Tablet Android and Windows 7 laptop, but connects very well with all Apple devices?

  Why has my connection AirPort Extreme recently stopped with my Tablet Android and Windows 7 laptop, but connects very well with all Apple devices?

  What exact model of AirPort Extreme do you have? Either have your tablet or laptop Win7 been updated recently? They were both able to connect before and not now OR they were never able to connect? Can the laptop Win7 access Internet when connected by Ethernet? One of these devices have problems connecting to other networks Wi - Fi?

• How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

  How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

  It is not in the file menu or tools. I get nothing when searching for help. FF still knows how to do it, say to update extensions.

  I know that I can do by saving my session, coming out, reboot and restore the session but is there a single command to do this?

  Thank you. -David

  I have attached a screenshot showing how to select restore automatic session just above the setting of the Home Page where it says "When Firefox starts".

  With this set, you can restart Firefox manually out using the menu-

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  -and then restart Firefox.

  If you want a real reboot with a click of button, you can check something on the Add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

• Install windows 7 in Envy DV7-7234 with Windows 8 with win7 dual boot and windows 8

  I can install windows 7 in Envy DV7-7234 with Windows 8 buth with dual boot: win7 and windows 8?

  Installing Windows 7 on your HP ENVY computer Notebook dv7-7234nr is not supported by HP. In addition, no Windows 7 driver is listed on HP Software and Driver Downloads page for your computer.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 and it will support the installation of Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not support some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  You will need to DISABLE 'Secure Boot' and ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in the ' settings of BIOS ' settings below page;

  

  Then, start Windows 8 and run the console 'disk management '. Using "Shrink Volume", reducing the size of the "C:" partition about half of its original size. Name of the partition "C:" to something like "Windows 8". Now, start the computer from the Windows 7 DVD, making sure to select "UEFI - internal CD/DVD" or "UEFI - ATAPI CD/DVD ' and not ' Legacy - CD/DVD internal."  (I recommend using a disc of Windows 7 SP1latest drivers have been included in this topic. The use of the SP1 disc usually resolves most disk hard AF and other issues. )

  Install Windows 7 on the partition without label that was established earlier when you shrunk the partition "C:". Continue to install WIndows 7 by / responding to all the guests. Once you download Windows 7 on your computer, we have to track down the compatible drivers for it. Please list all the "hardware ID" for unknown or missing devices.

  Please send Bravo

• Problems with vSphere 6.0 and IIS 8.5

  Hi all

  
  We have a very rare problem currently with IIS on a new version of vSphere 6.0.  We run 3 host ESX enterprise in a standard cluster with a standalone VCSA.

  The problems that we know are response times in IIS.  We lack an asp.net web application using ado.net to extract simple data sets in a cluster SQL from 2012.  The web server running Windows Server R2 with IIS 8.5.9600.16384 2012.  It comes to virtualized.  Our SQL servers are also running on Windows Server 2012 R2, but this is a physical cluster.  All components are updated running the latest windows patches, fixes vmware, etc.

  We have tried to limit the problem using wireshark, we noticed that speeds improved dramatically when running wireshark.  We have finally pinned it down to the NETWORK card is in promiscuous mode - mode "Promiscuous", web response times app are sub 100ms, and when we disable the promiscuous mode, response time pop up to 4 + seconds.

  I found a few articles that might put this question of vSphere RARP and NLB in unicast mode, but we do not use NLB on any of these servers, and many of our tests were performed on servers IIS "standalone".

  Someone encountered this problem before, and anyone has pointers?

  Thank you

  It looks exactly like the problem that is described in this thread:

  vmxnet3 adapter on windows server 2012 with problem of bottleneck for MSSQL Server

  You also use the vmxnet3 vNIC?

  If yes are trying one of these workarounds mentioned in the other thread (I'd go with LRO to start, do not forget to restart):

  E1000E use instead of vmxnext3

  Use jumbo frames (not really good for us but can be one good option for others...)

  Disable the LRO on a VMXNET3: enable or disable LRO on VMXNET3 adapter on a Windows Virtual Machine

  Turn on LRO overall on a Windows Virtual Machine

• Low use of networks with a copy of the Windows 7 TO Windows 2008 Server client

  Using Windows 7 ultimate and Windows Server 2008 R2

  Two machines, connected via LAN 1000base-T with CAT5e, with a full duplex 1 GB switch between... and Yes, I tried swapping the cables and ports. Server has two RAID5, a tray of 6 and a tray of 8. Resort of work has two RAID5, a 3 SSD and a tray of 4. Both sides with the help of Intel CPU iX and a 811xC chipset RealTek Gb LAN, same latest LAN drivers on both machines. Static, client IP address in a workgroup and server a domain controller for a domain (have not tried to join the client to the domain yet).

  I use Windows Explorer to COPY a set of files of 20 GB... I also tried xcopy and robocopy, with similar results. I tried all suggestions concerning the card settings network about unloading of duplex, big package, DRC, some changes to netsh (RSS and autotune) and a few others. Nothing has really affected the rate of final transfer significantly improve the use (and backup speed - the whole point of this exercise).

  Server to server disk 2 Disk1: > 250 MB/s (server disk IO is not a problem).

  Server to server disk 1 Disk2: > 250 MB/s (server disk IO is not a problem).

  Workstation Disk1 to Disk2: > 150 MB/s (workstation disk IO is not a problem).

  Workstation for Disk1 Disk2: > 150 MB/s (workstation disk IO is not a problem).

  Now for the IO: first a base line by using the server-side Windows Explorer to copy a Client mapped drive to a local drive on the server:

  -Disk1 (D :) Server Workstation Disk2(Z:): 91MB/s (près de 100 % d'utilisation de LAN).))

  Everything looks good so far, but we will retry the same operation, but use Windows Explorer of the customer to copy a disk server mapped to a client local drive:

  -Disk2 workstation to the server Disk2: 25 MB/s down to 17 MB/s; sometimes as low as 9 Mbps. average about 20% use.

  It seems that there is something in Windows 7 that prevents fast passes; or something in Windows Server 2008 that blocks quickly gets. I put the client and server-side receive the training for people with reduced mobility, normal, highlyrestricted and experimental, in different combinations. Once again, nothing concrete to report as an improvement.

  The MS Gurus, which suggests that I do with NetMonitor as well as capture something worth their time to diagnose?

  People - I think I finally found the culprit - and I feel pretty stupid not finding it earlier. No of MS technicians also shoot quite appalled could help.
  Disable Windows Search service (a service of indexation).
  It seems if you never 'change' which is sought (such as adding a new disk, the oath of research), the service will begin to read all the files that are deleted or added to the field of research. If you move, copy, even delete files will incur the wrath of Windows Search indexing delays.
  Once again:
  Turn off / disable - Windows Search - service to start.

• Printing with HP Officejet 6100 and Windows 8.1

  I had no problem with the printer before installing Windows 8.1.  We installed the latest printer drivers from the HP website.  The printer wants to print to the back to the front, even though we clearly specified it to print from front to back.  It is typical for every program I use, but more troublesome for Sage 100 contractor, where I print paychecks and A / P checks.  We tried to uninstall drivers and reinstall them.  I even tried to "back to front" because it seemed he wanted to do the opposite.  He printed back to front.  Dial-up, rebooted and it continues to print at the back to the front.  I contacted HP Support and they don't have a clue as to why this is happening.  Help, please!

  Hello

  When you have reinstalled the printer did you use assistant printer?

  Try the following:

  Press enter
  Scroll down to print spooler
  Right-click on the spooler > select Properties
  Make sure that the Startup Type is set to automatic
  Under the service stop status
  Wait for Windows to stop the printer

  Control Panel > open the printer folder
  Right click on the printer icon > select Open
  Do you see the documents listed in the queue for printing?
  Click file > cancel all Documents

  Start > right click on computer > select Manage
  Click on continue on window UAC (Vista, Windows 7)
  Select Device Manager

  Click on the + sign next to Ieeee... compatible printer (Note: some models of printers require an IEEE 1284 parallel port, which allows the rapid two-way communication.)  Do not worry if it is not listed)
  Right-click on the printer driver and select uninstall
  Click on the + sign next to the imaging device (s)
  Right-click on the printer driver and select uninstall
  Click on the + sign next to printers
  Right-click on the printer driver and select uninstall
  Click on the + sign next to Bus USB controllers
  Right-click on the printer driver and select uninstall

  While the printer is turned on, unplug the cable from the rear
  Unplug the cable from the wall outlet

  Wait 5 minutes

  Plug the cable into the wall jack, and then the back of the printer
  Restart the computer

  Go back, and then restart the print spooler

  Try printing again

  Go to the manufacturer's website and search for updated drivers

• Everyone can synchronize their Karma with Moto Phone Tools and Windows 7?

  I bought phone Tools Motorola directly from Avanquest because the bike download link was broken days (not even sure if it works now). After installation on Windows 7, everything seems to work, and Windows indicates that the drivers are installed, but Moto Phone Tools can not find my phone. He asks me to do the usual, unplug, restart, etc., but never found on the phone. Support told me that they do not support Windows 7, so they won't help.

  Is anyone successfully using tools motorcycle Phone on a Karma with Win 7?

  I'm under that Windows 7 now remember?  So I know it works.

• I have problems with Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Windows 7 32-bit Professiol.

  When I open an image of the bridge, the photoshop Panel is locked on one side of the screen.  The onle way I can get out of it is CTRL, alt, delete.  The problem persists.  I tried to uninstall Adobe and reinstall with no luck.  I called Adobe and they think that there is a problem with the security system in Windows.  Help, please.

  Hey jrcjr,

  This could be attributed to several factors such as conflicts between device drivers, applications, settings of operating system, hardware, and corrupt elements in specific files.

  Basic troubleshooting
  
  1. make sure that the computer meets the minimum requirements for Photoshop.
  2. install all Windows updates. .
  3 re-create the Photoshop preferences file.

  Re-create the Photoshop preferences file to eliminate problems that may cause a damaged Preferences file.

  To re-create the Photoshop preferences files:

  1. quit Photoshop.
  2. rename the \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp directory Users\ [username] Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.old.
  3 launch Photoshop. Photoshop creates a new Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file.
  If the problem persists, the Photoshop preferences files aren't the cause. To restore custom settings, quit Photoshop, and then delete the new Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file and restore the original name of the previous Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file.
  
  4 restart Windows in a modified mode
