Can anyone recommend a Standalone Windows 7 Download Manager with Scheduler that can be run without affecting IE9? I get unlimited downloads after midnight, but I'm often to tired to set them running!
View 3 RepliesI am eligible for educational discounts on Microsoft software. However, the only Windows 7 listed for a discount is Windows 7 Professional Upgrade Version (for $65). I do not have ANY operating system installed on my computer... can I still install this and be okay? Or do I have to have a Windows version already installed on my computer?If this helps, I have a hard drive (that may actually be damaged, I need to check that) that already has Windows 7 Ultimate installed on it (educational version, 32 bit... I need 64 bit). I'm wary of using that hard drive and disk (I just moved the hard drive to a desktop with all-new components) because the disk had problems when I was installing... I had to take it to my University's IT for them to install it (the code wasn't working).

View 1 Replies View RelatedDownloaded the beta of the Microsoft's new rootkit/malware detection utility that runs from a bootable CD that you create after downloading.Not a bad idea conceptually - boot the system from a known clean, read only medium and have that clean OS perform a scan of your hard drive.I was interested and curious so I ran it. It found what it deemed malware, mostly in very old e-mail archives from Outlook Express, but in a few other places as well. For each item it found it had a recommended action (for example 'disinfect', delete, quarantine, etc.). I told it to go ahead and perform the recommended actions.A window with a progress bar popped open and it started trucking along briskly, but progress began to slow geometrically, and soon the progress bar was not moving at all. I could see the disk access light flashing on the screen, but absolutely no signs of life from the display. I waited an hour and it hadn't budged, but the disk access light was still flashing.finally decided to reboot. Held the button in for the requisite 5 seconds and the reboot started. It noted that the last shutdown had been 'improper', so it performed some clean-up and then booted. Got to the login page where the various accounts are displayed and I thought I was out of the woods. But after a few seconds a C++ error box popped up saying that my video driver (nvvsvc.exe) had been asked to shut down in an unusual way.I didn't know quite what to make of that, but decided to log in. And that is where I have been for the last week.After keying in the password for any of the accounts, I get the message "Preparing Your Desktop" which just hangs there. If I do a ctrl/alt/del I can get a menu that allows me to start Task manager, but that is it. The desktop and explorer bar never come up. I've tried running Control Panel utilities by using the New Task button in Task Manager, but they all give error messages where the error box doesn't have the name of the program but rather one of those long GUID type strings inside the curly braces {} telling me that I don't have access to run the program. Even though I am logged in on an account with administrator privileges.So that is the lay of the land. I am able to run non-Windows programs from Task manager, and a few Windows utilities (for example msconfig), but I can't add / remove programs and that is a real problem because, from what I understand, if I want to try to do a 'Repair Install', I need to first uninstall SP1 (my original media was pre-SP1).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was using this product the other day in production at work and noticed that 5.0 was much slower than the 4.x versions of the product. I found that VMWare enabled SSL encryption during the conversion and this slows down the process by 2-3x. A box I used to be able to convert in 4 hours and 50 minutes, took 11 hours and 50 minutes. Anyway, you can easily change the behavior. Navigate to C:ProgramDataVMwareVMware vCenter Converter Standalone and edit the converter-worker.xml file.
Near the bottom, you will find this section: Code: <nfc>
<readTimeoutMs>120000</readTimeoutMs>
<useSsl>true</useSsl>
<!-- Delay is specified in milliseconds, -1 denotes the default.
<acceptTimeoutMs>-1</acceptTimeoutMs>
<requestTimeoutMs>-1</requestTimeoutMs>
[code]......
Then simply restart the VMware vCenter Converter StandAlone worker service.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSo I like to stay on top of things, and that mean at least running betas of browsers, if not dev channels, and what do I stumble on in Chrome? A new download manager. It's not on by default, so you won't see it right away, but if you go to ABOUT:FLAGS, and enable "New Downloads UI" you no longer get that annoying download bar at the bottom of Chrome. I know some may like that, but I hate it, so to me this is a welcome find. I also noticed they added "Smooth Scrolling", but again, it's not on by default, so you need to enable it under flags too.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI deleted a folder where I was storing app downloads. The folder was in my root directory. I think I deleted it within a download manager - not sure. In any case, the download manager keeps popping up (for no reason apparent to me) with a file to download (looks like the latest one I downloaded) and the Folder is the one I deleted. When I look in my root directory, the folder is still there

There is no issue with IDM, just an annoyaIDM is great, I use it all the time. But I don't want it to handle all of my downloads. Sometimes, it doesn't work properly with certain sites (the ones that make you wait a certain amount of time before you can download the file), and it's during those times that I really hate IDM.What I want changed is for IDM to only intercept streaming files, not files I could otherwise download anyway (like programs, etc). Is there a way to make IDM only take in streaming files?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running Windows 7 (Premium Home), on a dell Inspirion 15.attempted to create a scheduled task (and i am used to doing this in Windows XP) and I can not seem to make it work for me.I created a task; and simply put the file (.mp3) in the "Program/Script" box. It plays the file fine, but it is doing so as a "ghost task" as i've come to call it.
The File is played, but WMP is not opened, and a task is not created in the Task Manager. Sadly, it is also looping and i am muting it under the SoundMixer as "unavailable name".
Attempted to fix this by starts Wmp.exe, and using an argument ("C://&&&&/&.Mp3") to give some direction. But no cigar (Event Id 203 &103 [failure to start, failure to run])
I then just simply copied the argument and placed it into the "Start In" box. (with a bit of prayer to get rid of the looping that i must REBOOT to get rid of)So i have used the MP3 without WMP, And attempted to run it THROUGH WMP and have had no luck.
I want to defragment my hard drive but it wont let me due to the task scheduler being disabled. I go to open up the task scheduler and it says "The remote computer was not found" and it opens the scheduler and all the options are greyed out. I tried going into the registry and changing start from 2 to 1 or 1 to 2 and rebooting but still doesn't work! [URL]
my OS is Windows 7 home premium 64bit
I have some knowledge on setting up a task to shutdown the system at a specified time everyday using the Task Scheduler in Windows 7. However, I would like the option to have a "1 minute warning" that system is shutting down so that I can cancel it if I am currently using it. How would i go about this? For example: I have it scheduled at 10pm to turn off. However, I am still on the computer at 9:59. I would like some dialogue to come up and give me the option to cancel and I will just shutdown the computer when I'm done.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 Home Premium 32bit. I had set up daily scheduled restore creation points, only to find that none had actually been created, when I tried to restore. I now have a non-working microphone. The schedules were working some time back, I am sure.....however, I have it set to work whether I am logged in or not. I cannot see any restrictions that would stop it.
Triggers are : time based.
Action :"start a program c:program filesdeltacaddeltacad.exe" (browsed, not entered"
Conditions: Only when on 240V power
Settings: Allow task to be run manually
Stop the task if it runs longer than 3 days
If the running task does not end when requested, force it to stop.
History shows repeated successful completions. Taskeng.exe is trusted in my security system (Comodo) and is running as a programme. Task Scheduler is shown as a Service. I tried scheduling the running of a simple drafting programme that I have (deltacad.exe). The time came and went and nothing appeared to happen. I ran it manually using SCHTASKS.EXE /RUN /TN "task name".
A very brief CMD window opened, and again it looked as if nothing had happened. However when I ran Process Explorer, there were 3 issues of the programme running: apparently one from the scheduled run and the others manual. None of them showed a GUI onscreen, and if I asked to bring the window to the front in Procexp, the option was greyed. running the programme itself, by actually activating it in Windows, resulted in a successful load and run.
I have a little problem with the Task scheduler on Windows 7. I would like to use it to start a program, while my PC is at hibernation through the nighttime, so it can run while I am not at the PC. The problem is, that when i plan the Task in the Scheduler, my PC will start at the time I choose and wake up from the hibernation, but it all get stuck at the User logon screen.
I tried filling up both possibilities in the Security tab (Run only when user is logged on and Run whetever user is logged on or not), then it asks for my password and I fill it in. But it gets still stuck at the User logon screen after waking up the PC and wants the password to type in. I have only one account set up as the administrator with password, nothing else. Why won't it just work
what program to execute in order to create a protection point from a scheduled task?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got it to work flawlessly on my desktop, however on my laptop, a Dell D630, I can't seem to get it to work. I've created a task triggering on a specific time and running the operation '/c "exit"', which should just start a command prompt and close it again. I've set it to "run with highest privileges" and "wake the computer to run this task". However, it just doesn't boot as scheduled.
The history of the scheduler says nothing at the moment that the trigger is set to go off, but a minut later (probably when I manually boot) I get a "Task scheduler "{....}" instance of the task "Wakeup" due to a time trigger condition."
I have Windows 7 Professional x64. When I start Task Scheduler it presents two warnings; both are related to Windows Media Center:
"Task mcupdate_scheduled: The task image is corrupt or has been tampered with."
I believe this scheduled task runs the %windir%ehomemcupdate command to check for Windows Media Center updates.
"Task DispatchRecoveryTasks: The task image is corrupt or has been tampered with."
I haven't been able to determine what this task does.
I have scheduled a program to run every morning that will pull data out of our SQL server (the tool is "Toad"). I want to have that data ready when I come in the morning. Problem is, at that time, there are other tasks running on the SQL server making in slower to spit the data out, but it eventually sends it, always. Windows 7 (or the Task Scheduler itself, I am not sure which one) seems to think that the program has become unresponsive and stops it. When I look at the history of the task, it says the last execution status is "(0x0)" meaning completed successfully. I know it did not because the Excel spreadsheets that receives the data is still open and hasn't received all the data it should - it nevers stops at the same point so it is not an issue with my retrieval scripts. If I launch the task manually during the day, when the SQL server will respond in a timely manner, the task will complete successfullly. If I use the tool itself, it never gets killed, and I haven't seen Window complain it has become unresponsive even when it runs for a long time. Otherwise, anyone knows of any settings that would prevent Windows or Task Scheduler to kill what it thinks are unresponsive tasks or at least, change the delay before it thinks so?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI used to run a nature sound file in Media Player, to help me sleep, with Task Scheduler set to wake me up with an online radio program. First task stops, "wakeup" task starts immediately after; worked great for almost a year.Suddenly, doesn't work. Running task doesn't stop, and either wakeup task never starts, or, if it does, it runs as some sort of "ghost" instance: no window showing in the Taskbar, nothing showing in Task Manager (neither as application or as process). I have to restart the whole computer to get it to stop!Checked all the settings in Task Scheduler, tried drawing up new tasks; no change.Too bad I bought this PC with Windows 7 preinstalled--no disks to rebuild from.
