Parse error the file server clients.xml - after upgrade to Windows XP

After a lot of Googling, any discussion of this "error analysis of the server clients.xml file" is centered around the problems in Windows 7 before the last update. But I'm in version 4.0 on Windows XP and it worked fine for several months...   After this last series of XP was updated a few days ago, I now get the connection analysis problem and a reinstallation of the client has not changed anything.

With more precision, I had used the client to connect to the ESXi machine, then was downloading a large vmdk on the local computer from the data store and it was abandoned in the early hours of the morning to 67% complete, and when I discovered it in the morning, the local PC had been restarted , with alert windows to system tray "Due Windows install an important update and restart your computer" etc. I also rebooted on the ESXi machine management agents, does not.

Have not tried to restore to a restore like still - point finally need to keep the machine upgraded to windws last orders. I can hit the ESXi machine from another computer XP adjacent to the computer problem, same vlan, etc by using the virtual Client, no problem.

The logs show that the error is caused by a (probably on ESXi) clients.xml file check with result a "ambiguous match."   Uninstall the vSphere client must leave info register behind, or the IPS machine is to remember something on my local computer connecting to it somewhere...

  • Custom Mozilla.cfg of the file no longer works after upgrade to v38.01

    I created a custom mozilla.cfg file which contains three main sections.
    First section locks several preferences.
    The second section modifies the chrome - cache the Orange button and add the menu bar.
    Section three adds a folder of bookmarks and links specific to our Organization.

    I also modified the local file - settings.js so that it points to my cfg file:
    Pref ("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    Pref ("general.config.obscure_value", 0); This allows to deactivate the byte-shift

    After the v38.01, Firefox opens. He appears briefly in the Task Manager and goes. I started some tests and found that, if I comment out the line "pref ("general.config.obscure_value", 0);" in the local file - settings.js, FF opens but none of the settings I've specified are applied.
    I'm stuck because I have no idea what could be the problem. The allowed syntax has changed? The structure of the files has changed?
    I can post the cfg file if necessary.

    Thank you.

    The problems begin after that I installed these updates. After restarting the computer, I can no longer use my (HP SK - 2506 U) keyboard and mouse (Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical). I have looked around through the forums and tried several suggestions; However, none have them worked, that's why I post here.

    For example, here are the methods that I've tried so far, while using a PS/2 keyboard connected:

    (1) to start the computer in safe mode only to find out that they keyboard and mouse don't always work.

    (2) went in mode Bios and the keyboard works until I leave.

    (3) Microsoft Fix It tool I tried for USB devices and he said that "the changes have been made", but it does not solve the problem.

    (4) I went to the Control Panel, type "Troubleshoot" > find and fix problems > material and audio > configuration of a device, and he says: "material changes may not have been detected."

    (5) download the drivers on their site, but they will not be installed because 'the latest version is already installed. "

    6) going to remove each USB root hub in Device Manager, and then restart the computer to reinstall the drivers. The computer recognizes the 'new' devices,
    but then fails to install. Also, when I check their error on each of the USB status then in Device Manager, I get an error (code 52).

    (7) I also tried to install an update, restart the computer and then install the update next to try to reduce down which one is causing the problem. However, this method does no more work. For example, I installed an update, then restarted the computer, and it would be nice. Then install the next update, and the problem would come back. I would therefore restore to a point earlier, thinking that the second update has been the cause of the problem only discover that the problem came back after first re-installation...

    I also tried to run a backup of my external hard drive, but it does not work. I also tried to create a system repair disc, and it fails too.

    So far, the only way I can "fix" this problem is if I restore my computer to an earlier point in the day and then hide all updates to install automatically.

    Now I'm wondering if anyone knows why these problems are happening or fix them for good?

    Hi Floyd,

    I appreciate the efforts that you have taken to solve the problem in a few important steps. Since it is a problem that occurs when you try to install updates for Windows, the driver may be signed or corrupted.

    Just a few questions in order to get a clear picture of the issue.

    1. make all the windows updates installed successfully?

    2. What is the full error message you see in Device Manager?

  • Update the system: does not start after upgrading to Windows Vista SP1.


    I had the same problem. Called Lenovo, the response was:

    N ' - what is Vista come with SP1? No! Then, it is not a supported configuration. You're on your own! Bye: Pei

    Well, there is a feature called "Automatic updates" and Microsoft forces you to use - and you're foolish to not use it! In any case, I hope the support to the Denmark, named Thomas, and his bosses to get a better attitude towards customer.

    My question was simple. He was missing a Windows Service called "system update". It is implemented in "C:\Program Lenovo Update\SUService.exe.

    I had register service menually. There is a tool in the .net framework called InstallUtil.exe. The SUService.exe is implemented in .net, the InstallUtil can help.

    Start a command prompt by right-clicking and choosing "run as Administrator".

    Run:

    C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe "C:\Program Update\SUService.exe Lenovo."

    Modification of traces according to needs. If InstallUtil.exe is missing, it could be part of the .net SDK - do some research on Google.

    Go to services (in the contral Panel - administrative tools) and start the newly created service "system update". System update now worked for me.

  • Problems to open PDF files after the upgrade of the file server for 2012 R2

    Hello

    This weekend we have improved our main Windows 2003 to 2012 R2 file server.

    Since the upgrade, users (including myself) cannot open a PDF of the file server.  If I double click on a PDF file, it opens as usual, but if I double click a different PDF, the acrobat reader flashes (in the Task Manager I can see another instance AcroRd32.exe starts and stops) but the second document does not open.

    If I close the first document and then try and open the other, and then it opens without any problem.

    This only affected the opening of files on the new file server, opening several files on a local disk is very good.

    If I disable 'enable protected mode at startup' then I can open several documents of the file server.  I would prefer not to have to do.

    Users are using Acrobat Reader 11.0.10 on 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop.

    Does anyone have any ideas, it may be the cause?  And does anyone have one solution other than to disable the protected mode?

    Thank you
