  • Error message "You must use an account with administrator privileges to install windows 8.1..." When you try to download Windows 8.1

    ORiginal title: cannot download Windows 8.1 due to problems of administrator

    Hello

    I just got a new laptop, Dell Inspiron 15R with pre-installed Windows 8. Aware of the Windows 8.1 update I logged on my account (which represent the highlights of settings I have administrative privileges) has sailed to the store windows and clicked on the download tab Update button. I received this error message that I couldn't fix:
    "You must use an account with administrator privileges to install windows 8.1." Try connecting with the user of an administrator on this PC account and retry the update"
    I am the only user of this computer and as such am probably the only person capable or able to be an administrator. Does anyone have a solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    Original title: to compress my files that I have saved on my desktop.

    I get this error after I do a right-click and "send to" compress a file...

    So, what should I do?

    Hi thegardengrand,

    This happens usually if all files in the folder or the folder is used by all programs that are running in windows.

    You can check if it is used by another program, then that and close then try to zip.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • You have attempted to connect with the password wrong too many times. Please try again later.

    I think I tried something like 4 - 5 times. Then I reset the pwd. After the reboot, the message appeared (the counter needs to be reset too once I reset the pwd). If only the system would have said e more soon as I have a few attempts I would have been more careful when you type in the pwd (I could remember, so I tried a bit of my common pwd).

    Now I can't use my account, and I would like to know what "try again later" means exactly. Next time? Tomorrow? Next month? I have a kind of urgent need of making an international phone call. Unfortunately with a motive to the Japan is bit tricky and I could still not managed to get a.

  • Iterate through the DB using DBcursor-> get with the DB_DBT_USERMEM flag set for DBT

    BDB works in mode TDS. You want to iterate over a database using a DBcursor from beginning to the end. set the flag DB_DBT_USERMEM on the structure of the DBT with data pointing to a block of memory allocated fixed size to organize content in a single record reading. Currently the cursor get fails with DB_BUFFER_SMALL. I guess that's because the cursor-> get retrieves several records.

    It is possible to iterate over the DB using the cursor said while allocating memory for only a 1 user database? Each call to cursor-> get with DB_NEXT / DB_PREV / DB_FIRST DB_LAST etc. would be updated of the unique registration entry.

    Hi Kedar,

    No, DBcursor-> get() picked up several key/data elements if you are using the DB_MULTIPLE or DB_MULTIPLE_KEY flags. See "Bulk Retrieval:
    [http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/programmer_reference/am_misc_bulk.html#am_misc_bulk_get]
    You want only to retrieve a single record per call, so do not use the above indicators. In this case, the DB_BUFFER_SMALL error indicates that the length of the item requested/retrieved is greater than that specified for the DBT via his "ulen" field
    [http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/api_reference/C/dbt.html#dbt_DB_DBT_USERMEM]
    If you want to iterate through all the records in the database (including duplicates, if the database is configured to support), you must use the DB_NEXT flag.
    Note that when the DB_BUFFER_SMALL error returned the field 'Size' of the DBT is on the length needed for the item requested; You can check this value to determine how the size of your buffer provided (or you can know in advance the size of the items in the database).
    Here is an excerpt of the example code to "Retrieve records with a cursor" with the necessary adjustments for the TCD data:
    [http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/programmer_reference/am_cursor.html#am_curget]

         DB *dbp;
         DBC *dbcp;
         DBT key, data;
         int close_db, close_dbc, ret;
    
         //...
    
         /* Acquire a cursor for the database. */
         if ((ret = dbp->cursor(dbp, NULL, &dbcp, 0)) != 0) {
              dbp->err(dbp, ret, "DB->cursor");
              goto err;
         }
         close_dbc = 1;
    
         /* Initialize the key/data return pair. */
         memset(&key, 0, sizeof(key));
         memset(&data, 0, sizeof(data));
    
         /* Retrieve data item in user suplied buffer. */
    #define BUFFER_LENGTH 1024
         if ((data.data = malloc(BUFFER_LENGTH)) == NULL)
              return (errno);
         data.ulen = BUFFER_LENGTH;
         data.flags = DB_DBT_USERMEM;
    
         /* You can supply your own buffer for the key as well. */
    
         /* Iterate through the database. */
         while ((ret = dbcp->c_get(dbcp, &key, &data, DB_NEXT)) == 0)
              /* Operate on the retrieved items. */
         if (ret != DB_NOTFOUND) {
              dbp->err(dbp, ret, "DBcursor->get");
              goto err;
         }
    
    err:

    I tried again on Saturday you have the same problem
    I'm now ignoring the update message that is very annoying because he wants me to update daily

    The bug in question should be solved with a daily update of today. However, I agree with the recommendation to go with 31.0 once it comes out next Tuesday, or at least to use the beta versions (once per cycle) as a compromise between stability and get the latest features and updates to the platform.
