• In Illustrator CC GPU acceleration still works after disabling "GPU Preview" and activation "Preview CPU" (on a workstation gpu)?

  I use a workstation graphics card which allows the GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC.

  By selecting 'GPU Preview' instead of "CPU overview" under the "View" toolbar in Illustrator CC results in a rougher experience.

  Which brings me to wonder:

  1. In Illustrator CC GPU acceleration still works after disabling "GPU Preview" and activation "Preview CPU" (on a workstation gpu)?
  2. Acceleration for my gpu GPU actually improves the performance for my work?

  Nope. You must have sighted GPU in order to get the boost GPU.

  The Quadro K series is on the supported list, so it is strange that having the preview turned on GPU cause lag. It should be the opposite where the CPU preview is jerky.

• Why DB read file is still active after that the session was killed?

  Hello
  
  I have a query which is only select read only (no selection for update) on a big enough table (lines 500millions). The result must return a few million rows (1-10 million), because it is not properly written.
  
  I killed all the sessions opened by the user who started the application, but after 3 hours, it is still ongoing.
  
  I don't understand. It's a read. There is no data restoration that must be set aside, there is no generation of redo (low) because of this.
  There are a few kinds made in this query.
  
  So, why after that I'm killing a query that is read-only, the process runs for a very long time?
  
  It is not the first time I'm facing this problem.
  
  Any ideas?
  
  Thank you
  Daniel

  Have Yes - but you used the IMMEDIATE clause to kill HER?

  IMMEDIATE specify IMMEDIATE load the Oracle database to ongoing transactions, releases all session locks, recover session state full and immediately returns control to you.
  >
  If you really want the process completed rather than simply "marked" termination then use DISCONNECT SESSION with the IMMEDIATE clause

  See the "Clause of DISCONNECT SESSION" in the doc of the SQL language
  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_2013.htm
  >
  Use the DISCONNECT SESSION clause to disconnect the current session to destroy the dedicated server process (or virtual circuit if the connection was made through a shared server).
  . . .
  The IMMEDIATE environment disconnects the session and retrieves the status of entire session immediately, without waiting for open transactions to complete.

  Hi JDSoor,

  Thanks for posting. Two or more instances of the service Msiexec.exe cannot be launched at the same time for two different products. An install or repair processes should finish before the other process can be launched. Go to processes in the Manager of tasks (so press CTRL ALT + DELETE) then press the processes tab and look for to MSiexec.exe and press "end process." You may need to do more than once.

  I hope this helps. Let us know if this or do not resolve your problem.

  Thank you

  Use your charger's close() method.  but don't try and apply only if nothing is currently responsible or, I think, you will trigger an error.

• Basics of microsoft, as installed on vista, still works after that I have switch to firefox?

  I am moving from Vista to Firefox and want to know if Microsoft Essentials will continue to run after I made the change. MSE has preformed well for many years and I would like to avoid having to change to another anti-virus program.

  Actually, you will still have Windows Vista, even if you use Firefox rather than the browser Internet Explorer (IE) that comes with Windows.

  Another browser of your choice requires no modification of your security software. Also, it does not replace your security software. Unlike some programs that require special configuration steps, Firefox and Microsoft Essentials should get along very well.

• Firefox is still buggy after adware removal

  After removing some adware that I had yesterday, Firefox is still sort of bug.

  I did deep analysis in my records with multiple anti-malware and anti-virus programs. and I uninstalled Firefox, delete old profiles too and make a new clean install.

  However, when you install NoScript and/or Ghostery modules, they do not seem to work.
  I think that this could be caused due to the trace of the malware that I received recently.

  Here are the problems:

  -NoScript 2.6.9.21: the add-on shows no options, instead shows blank spaces. It seems to be blocking any javascript, you will notice how YouTube does not show. (Img #1).
  When disabling the add-on and restart Firefox, all websites with Javascript show again. So the add-on seems to be working, but is is not configurable.

  -Ghostery 5.4.3: does not appear on the sidebar, Ghostery button, and I can't figure out how to make it appear.
  In addition, in the page modules, if I click on settings ghostery, what I get is a blank page. (Img #2)

  I tried to install the Add-ons page of the developer and the Firefox Add-ons page. I even tried with older versions of Add-ons, just to make sure it wasn't a version problem.

  I think I might be missing something, you think that I can do to solve these problems?

  Where you need them, got logs analysis of antivirus and antispyware programs and can post a HJT log.

  Ran anti malicious and entirely software programs loads all files of Firefox (shown here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox) manually.

  After a new installation, everything works again allright.

• XP Pro SP3 still slow after a month of following threads

  I built a computer for my wife and he played wonderfully up until a month ago when she told me that she thought she had a virus because his PC is really slow. She was correct and I found and cleaned several threats to his machine. Even created a Kaspersky bootable cd and did a cleanup of that. I managed to get rid of all viruses detected at this stage. I ran full scans with Kaspersky, AVG, Norton 360, Spybot, Adaware, Webroot and Hitman Pro. All the latter reported no threat. Machine has always been very slow, so I started following discussions here. I used msconfig to take everything on commissioning. I have optimized, defragmented, and managed to get rid of unused programs. I've been following son and make all the suggestions I found for over a month and still crawling along. I used a timer to Boot XP to see how long it has taken for the computer to boot, and he returned with 770 seconds, or nearly 13 minutes. Consumers two great time according to the timer to start XP is the services.exe and svchost.exe two of these samples for 5 minutes. Ideas that have already been posted here? Thank you.

  One thing that is often overlooked when startups/performance troubleshooting HARD drive Transfer Mode setting.  This applies only to IDE (not the SATA drives) drives.  If transfer Modes slipped DMA in PIO, you'll have a system "lame".

  Since the implementation of the MS Answers forum does not prompt for the basic system information when a new question is asked (as the system brand and model), I can't tell if this applies to you or not if you can tell us that.  If you are not sure, we say the make and model and we can look it up.

  AVG, Norton and Spybot are known hogs CPU and memory so if you have those installed and enabled that could be part of the problem, but if you have disabled the throughout the msconfig may be that it is not.  Installation of too many AV programs is not always a good thing.  It is possible to have too much protection on your system.

  You use Bootlog XP to get these hours?  It is a good tool to find why your bootstrap system takes so long so that it starts.  A nice bar chart to show you that everything is being done and you focus on long horizontal lines in the table and work on these areas.

  If he your system brand not specified and the model is using IDE drives, here's how to check your Transfer Mode settings:

  If you are using IDE drives, use Device Manager to check the channel Transfer Mode IDE is set to something like DMA if available (depends on your hardware) and the slow PIO mode.
   
  Don't forget: PIO is the slowest, DMA is faster.

  It is easy to check and usually easy to fix and the mode would not have changed in itself, so if she changed to PIO, change it to DMA, and then understand why it changed and fix it.

  To launch the Device Manager console, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  devmgmt.msc

  Click OK.

  Expand the section controller IDE / ATA to see your IDE channels. Each of them right click and choose Properties for each channel that has a tab advanced settings, determine the Transfer Mode. There are usually 4 channels to check in a desktop computer, maybe less for laptops so just check all.

  Faster selection will always be a kind of selection DMA (usually: DMA, DMA5, DMA if available, UDMA, etc.).  If it is PIO, change it to DMA.
   
  If you are unsure of what you see after return of help and advice.
   
  If you make settings, restart and check the settings again to ensure that all changes 'stick '.
   
  What may have caused the change?
