reboot sequence

Hi guys,.

the concept on which im trying to gain some tips would be a tad complicated to try to explain in detail through text so Ive added a vid showing the app im trying to mess with and explain what I want to do as my code involves pilots vernier and others so I just thought it would be more convenient , I will attach the code even in the case where you always want to have a look, my apologies for not having the comment yet I wait usually finished im about to do

Basically, I have a general structure of the sequence, frame 0 is the beginning of the application, then I deal structures in the frames following that run code if some options are checked. When the case is true, this will start a sequence structure that will be a separate test (4 in all). I want to give the user the option to restart a test if they made a ham of they're first move, so say they test 3 and they decide to revive the test, programmatically, they will remain within the fourth sequence of the overall structure, but back at the beginning of the sequence in the structure of the chassis case 4th in the overall sequence structure.

I hope that this will make more sense after watching the vid

Please do not take into account my ridiculous accent of Father Ted

I strongly recommend to get rid of the sequence structures and make a good State Machine.  It will make your life SO much simpler.

  • PXI chassis not found after reboot host

    I use a chassis SMU-1073, Win7 and Labview 12.0f3 on the host. After a restart of the host, MAX is unable to find the frame and I need to reboot the host. Rebooting usually works, but often it is necessary to power down of the PXI chassis too. It is very tedious and time-consuming. There must be a way to simply restart the driver (single) and set things right after a restart of the host. Thanks for your help!

    Hi bjuberchaub,

    Let's see what crossrulz has to say about the race condition, but the situation you have described above does not sound like a driver problem.

    Regarding "if I cycle power on the chassis and try to reconnect", we recommend strongly cyclical food your chassis when your computer is turned on.  It is the equivalent to remove a PCI (e) card on a desktop while it is running. It can cause permanent damage to your system.

    The reboot sequence appropriate must be:

    1. Turn off the power to the host
    2. Disable the chassis
    3. Turn on chassis
    4. Turn on the host

    Never do anything with your chassis power when your computer is turned on.

    Given that:

    1. I'd be interested to see what looks like your Windows Device Manager when the steps above are followed.  Do you see unknown devices?
    2. The LINK is clear on the chassis power?  Is what color?
    3. This configuration never before without this behavior?

    If I misunderstood your comment about cyclical diet and you just follow the steps I have outlined above, I would be interested in getting answers to questions 1 and 2 when your system is in a State of non-working (e.g. restart you computer without rebooting the chassis).

    Kind regards

  • HP Simple pass does not properly.

    I just bought a HP Envy 17 TS last Friday. And the finger print scanner does not work properly. On the basis of the recommendations of the Forum of Microsoft, I deleted and updated drivers for both the pass Simple biometric and HP.

    Here's the situation. HP Simple pass works for passwords of website and all but don't work try to use it to connect to windows itself. However, if I uninstall use the print and Pass Simple unlock this 8.1 of Windows has its own, it works. Pass Simple to reinstall and it stops working again.

    dmcbain,

    Welcome to the HP Forum.

    There are a lot of Envy 17 over there - I think left, unsaid and you details give a better idea - it should be sufficient because they are similar in nature (structure and file locking).

    It is likely that your laptop came with HP SimplePass version 8.x installed - it's the Softex version and it should work pretty well, and he would be able to get along with native login provided with Windows 8.1.

    You could try the following to see if you can get things back in order.

    Reminder: For best results, do not skip a recommended reboot sequence.

    • Make sure that all of your Windows updates are complete and up-to-date.  This is essential.  On a new system, it takes a few laps and restarts.  Once updates are complete, you can, if you like to put updates 'Notification' for the future.  If you install a new Windows updates, restart the laptop.
    • If you install the framework, reboot the laptop and connect
    • Start > type anywhere 'rebecca' or Recovery Manager >
    • Click here to start the Recovery Manager > under "I need immediate help" >
    • Drivers and reinstall Applications > find and reinstall your driver fingerprint sensor fingerprint validity
    • Close all your programs and shut down your computer
    • Unplug everything (little unifying for the keyboard / mouse external can stay)
    • Perform the Hard Reset for your laptop
    • Start the computer and connect

    Consider: you can probably run the version of HP SimplePass 6.x on this system - it is AuthenTec version, fully functional in terms of features and support webcards and Windows logon, too.

    See the following to download and install HP SimplePass version 6.x.  You can skip the part about reinstalling your fingerprint driver - you have completed this step.

  • Satellite M30x - BSOD at startup - F8 does nothing

    After loading some software my m30x keeps restarting itself.
    Unfortunately, the blue screen of death happens before I choose my account (XP) and it goes through the reboot sequence.

    How can I get in mode start safe and no idea on how to solve this - if I can load XP so that I can perform a restore, but that seems very far at present.

    Hi Donald,.

    Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

    I'm not the only one to help you with this; I never - ever - was able to get the version of series 8 HP SimplePass software works correctly.  When I was able to run, he soon blurred place a small ball of code-waddle.  Sigh.  I use the 6 series, the old version of AuthenTec's HP SimplePass - is no longer on the list official "support" but used by many and, oh, so strong and vigorous.

    However, series 8 is the official version of these days AND 8 series is the version that comes with the latest laptop computers.  Series 8 is the future.  We move.

    If - the following may be useful that everything else is equal, and the universe is not against you:

    HP SimplePass upgrade instructions

    If your HP SimplePass is a heap of smoking rubble (broken):

    Jump down to about Page 10 (updated) - Look / search the Section Hard Reset séquence

    Next:

    See the Section on Page 2 (updated):

    HP SimplePass and fingerprint Scanner Support Document - Windows 8

    Then, if necessary:

    Better, you can complete the procedure / steps in the section:

    Procedure - updated / (install HP SimplePass Re)

    NOTES:

    • Observe the warnings that the series 6 and series 8 HP SimplePass are not the same program.  Do not try to install series 6 HP SimplePass on a computer on which you have already installed the 8 HP SimplePass series.  While it is true that we can term series 6 HP SimplePass on your laptop, you cannot have the two programs on the system at the same time.  They are not compatible - they were written by different programmers - they were written by competing companies - programs do not like each other.
    • Remember that series 8 has no 'fix' option for the 6 series mentioned in the Guide.  You need to reinstall the HP SimplePass software (available in the Guide, or in your case, Don, site Web on your computer supports pages).
    • For best results, do not skip the reboot / reboot sequences.  Windows like a good restart.  HP SimplePass really enjoys a good reboot sequence; the database is a fussy code fish.
    • If all else fails and you have tried everything and that the universe is against you - completely remove the program from the computer, perform the Hard Reset sequence - do not forget this isn't, won't erase your computer - and then, very slowly, start on the Section:

    Procedure - updated / (install HP SimplePass Re)

    • Don't forget that if you want really to CONNECT using your fingerprint, you HAVE not even fingerprints - Windows 8.1 has its own connection software native of fingerprints that will at least you connect to Windows.  You cannot use it to control the Web sites, but you can get at least on the computer by using the fingerprint reader.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite L300D - own generation has a virus

    Hello

    I rebuilt a L300D since the restoration of Toshiba HDD to "like new" image

    The laptop is infected with the Google redirect virus! I did another restored to "like new" image, and again, the virus to redirect Google is present. (http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web%20Search/thread?tid=6df7e15519290612&hl=en)

    When I did restore the second time, I did not any network connectivity until I had made the object of many resets and engaged in all settings and registration popups (don't sign up of course, since he was in offline mode). McAfee settings were part of this reboot sequence, and McAfee reports that the computer is protected - I took care of this before I put it online.

    As soon as I activated the WIFI, connected to my network, performed the first Google search (search term 'Facebook') and clicked on the first link returned, shots of virus and I have sent to a spam site.

    If I try the same search again, this time it works. If I restart and try again once I get the problem.

    How the laptop can be infected with the virus before it is even connected to the internet? And before that it was all traffic on the internet other than whatever the default version is designed to do?

    I have another laptop on the same WIFI network and it has no problem with this at all. The WIFI network is secure.

    This one has really left me speechless - I have never seen a Trojan virus that does not require a horse! Not to mention one that can infect a computer which is in force, all new and has not undertaken an online business.

    Can anyone help please?

  • Search by program insertion directory

    Hi Ppl,

    I tried to programmatically insert a search directory. I used the Engine.SearchDirectory.Insert method. After this method is called, I called the SearchDirectory.Reload method. Despite the call to this method the newly added directory was not displayed in the list of search directories in the sequence editor. When we change Mytypes.ini or other external configurations in the sequence editor, I get the pop up to recharge. But when I inserted search directory, which he has not asked for reloading. I had to reboot sequence for the new directory to be editor. How can I reload without sequence editor to restart?

    Here's the code I used.

    Sirot-

    I think that the behavior you're seeing is expected. When you call the autonomous VI outside TestStand, you create a different instance of the engine. So, you have an instance of the engine in the process of the TestStand sequence editor and an instance of the TestStand engine in the process of LabVIEW.

    Now, when you call SearchDirectories.Reload () on the LabVIEW VI, you say that the LabVIEW TestStand engine instance to reload the SearchDirectories that it has cached in the SearchDirectories the disk, however, this has no effect on the motor TestStand sequence editor instance.

    Now, if you were to call your VI as a code module of a sequence that you run in the sequence editor, and you pass the engine as an input for the VI (RunState.Engine), and then you will see the behavior you expect.

    You can also try the following as a test: create open with the sequence editor, run your VI like you have visited. Then, in the sequence editor, run a step that calls RunState.Engine.SearchDirectories.Reload () (if you are in TestStand 4.0 or newer, you can simply call it at a stage of instruction). Then check the search directories... have they updated?

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I delete temporary files?

    When you click START, then RUN, I type temp and delete the files on all computers in my office.  Almost every one of them now has a list of .tmp files that are unable to remove.  They all start with LAE and range from LAE9F.tmp, LAE13A etc...   There are 19 in total... and they are all in blue, if that means anything.

    When I remove them, I get the message "access is denied. Make sure that the disk is not full or protected in writing and that the file is not currently in use"

    It's my understanding that they are... especially when it's the only thing open on my computer.

    How can I remove them?

    I tried to go back and call the authorities, but to no avail.

    Thank you

    Patrick

    I don't know what these files are, however, all files in the TEMP directory are safe to remove, but you can restart once, just to make sure that there are no "restart to perform this installation procedure" in the waiting.

    Files that are displayed in blue are compressed.

    If the files are older than 7 days, you may be able to remove them using disk cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr.exe > OK).

    Otherwise you can probably remove them starting mode safe mode (F8 tap immediately after reboot sequence starts, before the Windows logo doesn't appear).

    Alternatively, instead of Safe Mode, the following almost always works:

    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK).
    • Navigate to the directory where the files of LAExxx.tmp are located using the cd command.

      CD C:\Windows\Temp {press Enter}

    • Leave the command prompt window, start the task (CTRL + ALT + DELETE) Manager
    • Find explorer.exe in the processes list, select it and click on "end process."
    • At this point, your screen should be empty except for the command prompt window open and the Task Manager
    • In the command prompt window, type the following command

      del *. * (press Enter}

    • Go back to Task Manager, click file > new task (run...) and in the "Open" box type

      Explorer.exe

    • Click OK.
    • Your office should be back to normal. Close the command prompt and the windows task manager and the files should be gone.
  • Computer HP laptop will not update windows download 8 pass from 13%

    The short "Workaround" to try:

    Go to your Control Panel > display icon > Device Manager >

    Find, right click and "Uninstall", your Audio driver(s).

    Do not delete NOT the driver, just right click and 'uninstall '.

    • Do not restart your computer (yet).

    Next:

    • In Control Panel > Windows Update > change settings > disable the recommended updates... You can add them later if / when you get the 'Important' updates to work.
    • You can click to "Check for Updates" again once, or simply go back to your main "Windows Updates" window and now click on the 'Install' button (on the lower right corner of this window).
    • If the 'glitch' updates, in other words, if you get a red 'Failure' and it seems that one or more of these stupid updates suddenly just not download and start installing like you have said just that he does, click on 'Install' again... Now, the updates should start installing.  If you have some big updates (or many of them), this can take some time.
    • For added security, do not do much other work.  The computer market.  Read an e-book.  Keep an eye on it, but don't make your Facebook session or online banking.  Don't shop on Amazon...  Let the system work on the updates.
    • Wait... wait some more... When the updates are loaded, you will be told that you must restart the computer.
    • Reboot / restart the computer when the computer tells you it's time...
    • When the system restarts, these Audio drivers to reinstall it after that updates install and just as the system finished its reboot sequence.

    Good luck!

  • Photosmart HP 5510 - cannot communicate with Printer Check Utility does not! Help

    I work with Windows 7 the error message I get is unable to communicate with the printer. I've never had a problem with a printer. First night worked incredible, all the software is downloaded on the computer, but then to go print to date it has not worked. REBOOTED EVERYTHING, router wireless, computer and printer. Then reconnect the printer to the router through that says the manual. FINALLY it starts printing, waited about 30-45 min went print again and of course, it did not work.

    I tried to do the audit - States utility I am connected online time computer and printer to the router. From what I understand there is a problem with the printer-computer connection. I bought this specific printer because it is wireless and highly recommended as the brand HP, now I wonder if it was a big mistake.

    Hello

    I have the same setup as you, HP 5510 connected to BT HomeHub 3.0 and have the same symptoms.  There is a simple solution that has worked for me.  All you have to do is press the "Restart" on the back of your router, wait for it to complete its reboot sequence and for all 3 lights on the fron illuminate in blue.  Following this fixes also a common problem I have with AirPrint where an Apple device cannot find the printer not working do not.  I hope this helps...

    It's the ball that appeared recently on my desktop whenever I log in Windows 7 Ultimate x 64. Someone knows how to fix this? Please help me as soon as possible :(

    I FOUND THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM!

    The crash of your computer during updates Windows caused which!

    I had this problem on my laptop since November, and it really annoyed me.  I sifted through the event log and found the model of events leading up to the issue and, probably, he did.

    In short, the model is as follows: Windows updates automatically run as planned, and when restarting is launched after the updates are complete, the computer crashes (probably during the reboot sequence).  When starting, it signals that the last stop was not planned, and the question starts to happen.

    I spent 2 days trying to dig a solution by Internet, without success, until I came across this page.  It says nothing about this particular problem, but it gives more information on the SVCHOST process that launches many services, including Group Policy Client.  It seems that when restarting vital registry settings have been lost during the accident and Group Policy Client 'do not know' how to start.  Let me explain:

    There are two places to look in the registry:

    1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services this path must contain gpsvc key (a record), which is responsible for the configuration and service settings.  I found the key was intact, so you do not touch anything here - just check that the key exists.
    2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows svchost It's the most important way you should look at in, because it should contain keys and values under the #1 key.  Here are descriptions of what must be present there.
    • There must be called GPSvcGroupmulti-string value. My laptop was missing it.  Thus, you must create the multi-string value called GPSvcGroup and assign it the value GPSvc.
    • Then, you must create a key (a folder) and name it GPSvcGroup - this key should normally be there, but, again, that it was missin on my laptop.
    • Open the newly created GPSvcGroup folder, then create 2 DWORD values:
    1. First called AuthenticationCapabilities and you must give it a value of 0 x 00003020 (or in decimal form 12320)
    2. Second, called CoInitializeSecurityParam , and it must have the value 1.

    When you have finished all the above steps, restart the computer, and the problem will be solved.

    Step by step video for those who are not very technical procedure is here: http://youtu.be/4m5KEmckWK4

    I'm so relieved that I could remedy and hope this will help others with the same question.

    "There was error opening of firewall with Advanced Security snap-in window.
    "Windows firewall".
    with Advanced Security snap-in failed to load. Restart the windows firewall
    service on the computer that you are managing. Error
    Code: 0x6D9

    When I try to start the windows firewall service it says windows could
    windows firewall does not contact the service provider.

    I deleted all virus protection as well as the internet
    security & it still won't open for me change the settings. I also ran the Microsoft fix this program as well as did a system restore and it has not solved the problem.

    Any help would be appreciated to help correct this problem, the next step is perhaps just the
    the hammer. Thank you!

    Hey everybody.  This same exact error and Windows Firewall behavior appear to be linked to another problem with the Group Policy Client service.  Here's a new post with the solution of the Microsoft community forum (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/why-wont-windows-connect-to-the-group-policy/b73107f8-8447-4599-87a5-65ecc6a63aa0?page=2)

    NOTE: before you try this solution make sure you have the problem with the Group Policy Client service, i.e.:

    1. Non-admin users cannot connect to the computer
    2. When an administrator logs on, a message is displayed informing you that Windows is unable to connect to the Group Policy Client service
    3. Group Policy Client service does not seem to be started snap-in computer services.msc

    If you have these three symptoms listed above, then the fix may resolve the error code 0x6D9 firewall

    I had this problem on my laptop since November, and it really annoyed me.  I sifted through the event log and found the model of events leading up to the issue and, probably, he did.

    In short, the model is as follows: Windows updates automatically run as planned, and when restarting is launched after the updates are complete, the computer crashes (probably during the reboot sequence).  When starting, it signals that the last stop was not planned, and the question starts to happen.

    I spent 2 days trying to dig a solution by Internet, without success, until I came across this page.  It says nothing about this particular problem, but it gives more information on the SVCHOST process that launches many services, including Group Policy Client.  It seems that when restarting vital registry settings have been lost during the accident and Group Policy Client 'do not know' how to start.  Let me explain:

    There are two places to look in the registry:

    1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services this path must contain gpsvc key (a record), which is responsible for the configuration and service settings.  I found the key was intact, so you do not touch anything here - just check that the key exists.
    2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows svchost It's the most important way you should look at in, because it should contain keys and values under the #1 key.  Here are descriptions of what must be present there.
    • There must be called GPSvcGroupmulti-string value. My laptop was missing it.  Thus, you must create the multi-string value called GPSvcGroup and assign it the value GPSvc.
    • Then, you must create a key (a folder) and name it GPSvcGroup - this key should normally be there, but, again, that it was missin on my laptop.
    • Open the newly created GPSvcGroup folder, then create 2 DWORD values:
    1. First called AuthenticationCapabilities and you must give it a value of 0 x 00003020 (or in decimal form 12320)
    2. Second, called CoInitializeSecurityParam , and it must have the value 1.

    When you have finished all the above steps, restart the computer, and the problem will be solved.
