No reason not to use Virtual PC to work around inconsistency of program?

I just bought a $29 printer instead of spending $45 to replace the No. 23 of my DeskJet HP ink cartridge.  Unfortunately, I forgot to check for compatibility and have not been able to find a way to share with Windows 98SE.

I tried to upgrade my old copy of the print shop to Vista, but the Compatibility Assistant told me it was a known incompatibility.

On a whim, I booted up my copy of Virtual PC with Windows XP and was able to install and run it without problem. THERE is a driver available for the printer and had XP no harm to use as a shared printer.

Is there a reason not to use Virtual PC to work around incompatibility with Vista? I know that it is not suitable for the games because of limited capacity, but what about productivity as The Print Shop Deluxe 5.0 programs?

P.S. Can someone suggest a way to share a HP DeskJet 1000 with Windows 98SE? I saw a reference to another printer that has 98 drivers called a Deskjet 1000cse, but according to the website of HP, this is another printer that is no longer supported. Any chance I can use drivers 95/98 for CSE to connect to a share of Vista? If so, how do I configure it? If these drivers are like drivers for my DeskJet 812C, the option "have disk" will NOT work in the list, the installer will put things for a local printer rather than on a network, an and I do not remember that it is also easy to change the port to a network printer, you can with XP and Vista.

Is there a reason not to use Virtual PC to work around incompatibility with Vista? I know that it is not suitable for the games because of limited capacity, but what about productivity as The Print Shop Deluxe 5.0 programs?

As long as it works, it's a great idea.

  • Extended Analytics - reason not to use the HFM database as the destination

    Why can't use us the HFM database as the destination database to create patterns in Star using extended Analytics? How can we get data with metadata in tables exported using EA?

    As far as I know, export EA is a star that includes metadata and data schema format?
    You don't would not export it to your database of the HFM application as you would ideally keep it separate for analsys by services such as Essbase OLAP?

  • Rotation are not smooth on large images - no work around?

    I found that Premiere Pro does not have large images completely smoothly in some cases. It adds a slight wobble, maybe a somewhere rounding error. It is easily reproduced, if the image is large enough so that the GPU can not handle. (The problem will show up with small files if the GPU is disabled, or it is not present).

    I know that a small swing would not be a problem for some projects, but it will appear on a movie screen, so the problem is very obvious. Thanks for any help.

    Usually the problem shows with images that are 4000 x 4000 or more. The problem occurs on the scale of large images or smaller images that were converted on the first. The larger image the worst the wobble.

    This happens in first Pro CC 2015.4 on Mac, but also 2014 CC.

    Here's a video that shows the problem that I saw the first time:

    http://Adobe.LY/2ccktQR

    But the problem shows with projects much simpler - what you need to do is turn a large image such as the following, which is 4800 x 6000. My processor graphics NVIDIA Quadro 4000 has 2 GB of memory, and at 1080 p will force the first use of the CPU and show the problem:

    http://Adobe.LY/2bA5kE9

    The following video shows the picture above, made first with CPU, second with GPU, then super-imposed near each other to show the difference:

    http://Adobe.LY/2bWlc67

    Notice the slight wobble in the stars on the left. (To obtain the version no-do not wobble, I had to scale the image up to 2200 x 2200 source externally first - this is the smallest size that can turn entirely into a window of 1 080 p.)

    Has anyone else seen elsewhere, or have ideas for the solution of workaround?

    Thanks in advance.

    Try After Effects for it.  Void pixel technology (? whatever his name) may be useful.

    Is in all cases to do the test.

  • GUID or not for use with time machine

    I am about to format a new external hard drive to save the backups and other things. On the road I can use for Time Machine, but not now. I wonder whether or not to use setting GUID in the form for the reader, because it will allow me to make a disc bootable option. Is there a reason NOT to use the GUID + OS X extended journaled on any drive that you reformat? (I ask because it is an option. A few posts on this site I get the idea that unless I want a windows or linux on readable disk, which I did not, GUID is the way to go. I don't know if I chose actually on another X - HD I got recently and am using for backups TM. I don't know, because I tried to make a bootable partition / clone and was not able to boot from this partition.)

    Secondly, I think to partition the hard drive into two GB 1 pieces in case I want to use 1 semester for backups online TM subsequently and so keep those separated from other files. Is it advisable or not? (One of the advantages are the possibility to delete backups TM: you just reformat the partition where they live.)

    I could use the GUID for a partition and not on the other or just for the two (it seems that the GUID is the recommended way to get Mac products). *

    Thanks in advance.

    * Assume that you use a GUID. Is there a problem with the help of a hard drive without formatting?

    Since you're using ONLY this disc with your Mac, then GUID partition map and HFS + filesystem (OS X Extended (journaled)) to a volume of Time Machine

    * Assume that you use a GUID. Is there a problem with the help of a hard drive without formatting?

    Why do bad for yourself.

    It is very good.  In addition to El Capitan OS X will be ONE partition a disk GUID, it's another reason for the use of the GUID.

    NOTE: If you want to put other files on this disk, will you of have saved them in another location.  And all THE data that you care, or would have cost a lot of time to recreate should be use 3-2-1. backup policy.

    3 copies (the original is the 1st copy)

  • Impossible to get 'notes' of the virtual machine

    I tried to use a powershell script to get information from the virtual machine. I can get VMHost, VMname and GuestVersion using the script in the following, but failed to get the notes of the virtual machine. Anyone know why I can't get notes, please help me with that. Thank you in advance.

    report = @)
    foreach ($vmView in (Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine))
    {
    $report += $vmView. Select-Object @{Name = "$vmhost"; Expression = {($vmView.Runtime.Host Get-View).} Name}},
    @{Name = "VMName"; Expression = {$_.} Name}},
    @{Name = 'Notes'; Expression = {$_.} Description}},

    @{Name = "GuestVersion"; {Expression = {$vmView.Guest.GuestFullName}}
    }
    $report | Sort-Object VMName-descending | Export-Csv "d:\vm_GuestVersion.csv" - NoTypeInformation

    There is no need to do it with the cmdlet Get-View.

    You can do

    $report = @()foreach ($vm in Get-VM){    $report += $vm | `        Select-Object @{Name="VMHost"; Expression={($_.Host).Name}},            @{Name="VMName"; Expression={$_.Name}},            @{Name="Notes"; Expression={$_.Description}},            @{Name="GuestVersion"; Expression={$_.Guest.OSFullName}}}$report | Sort-Object VMName -Descending | Export-Csv "d:\vm_GuestVersion.csv" -NoTypeInformation
    

    If you want to do with the cmdlet Get-View for any reason, you can do

    $report = @()
    foreach ($vmView in (Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine))
    {
        $report += $vmView | `        Select-Object @{Name="VMHost"; Expression={(Get-View $vmView.Runtime.Host).Name}},
                @{Name="VMName"; Expression={$_.Name}},
                @{Name="Notes"; Expression={$_.Config.Annotation}},
                @{Name="GuestVersion"; Expression={$vmView.Guest.GuestFullName}}
    }
    $report | Sort-Object VMName -Descending | Export-Csv "d:\vm_GuestVersion.csv" -NoTypeInformation
    

    But note that as you need a view of the GET each time for the host name, performance will suffer.

  • LVM using virtual disks

    Hello

    I have a file CentOS server that is hosted by a host ESXi 4.  There are about 750 GB of storage.  Without changing the size of the blocks, the largest size I could do virtual disks was 256GB.  What I did is to use LVM to create a logical volume with 3 physical volumes of 256 GB.  Now, it seems that it works, but I wonder if this situation is less than ideal and also do not know if the performance degrade under load.

    If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.  I heard that VMDK files should not be used for fileserving, but if 750Go is used only to approximately 50 users, is this good?

    Concerning

    Stu

    Now, it seems that it works, but I wonder if this situation is less than ideal and also do not know if the performance degrade under load.

    It is not true.

    It is "similar" to a RAID0, more critical, but could be faster (cause you different drives).

    If vmdk is on the same physical disks have no improved performance.

    But IMHO I'd rather have a single drive with no concatenation or unique "RAID0" failure point.

    Under Linux you can use the different mount point (on Windows you can use a 'different' mount point) and achieve a similar goal.

    There are also symbolic links to the map, different drives.

    I heard that VMDK files should not be used for fileserving, but if 750Go is used only to approximately 50 users, is this good?

    It's ok, it is not a reason for not have not on a virtual computer file server.

  • What is the main reason for the use of SERIALLY_REUSABLE in your package?

    Hi Experts,

    What is the main reason for the use of SERIALLY_REUSABLE in your package?

    At first glance, the most popular reason seems that some developers forget to close cursors. Therefore, it is a good way to close automatically when your code is stopped during the same session.

    Second, if your business rules require that package variables still need to put the SERIALLY_REUSABLE default values is good for this.

    So, what's your reason?

    Thanks in advance.

    From http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/LNPLS/packages.htm#LNPLS99924:

    After the unit of work (call Server) a SERIALLY_REUSABLE complete package, Oracle database performs the following operations:

    • Closes all open cursors.
    • No free memory (for example, memory for collection and long VARCHAR2 variables)
    • Returns the instantiation of the package to the collection of reusable instantiations kept for this package.

    Explicit cursors in SERIALLY_REUSABLE packages:

    http://docs.Oracle.com/database/121/LNPLS/packages.htm#LNPLS99923

    I would not support using SERIALLY_REUSABLE instead of programming and the cursor's lifecycle management practices.

    > What is the main reason for the use of SERIALLY_REUSABLE in your package?

    If your package uses large amounts of memory in the State, especially in a multiuser environment heavy wherever the memory usage adds up and memory will not clean until the session is closed and the State is not held beyond the call to the package, then there's your use case.

  • Get - VM: with "xyz" name VM is not found using the specified filters.

    Hello everyone!

    How would I do to get the information from an input file, see the vCenter and if this positive results write the file, ignoring errors. Ideally, if not to find the machine, simply create a line in the output file with only the hostname with the rest in white.

    Follow the .ps1 file:

    Hello

    Welcome to the VMware communities forum.

    Unfortunately Apple does not allow to run a virtual mac OS X on non-Apple brand hardware.

    Because this violates Apple EULA (and as such VMware Community terms of use), the problems you have with trying to run OS X using VMware Workstation cannot be discussed in this forum.
