• Mansoor Ali "The owner SID on a per-user subscription doesn't exist"

  I'm trying to convert this one AVI (XVID) to DVD using Windows DVD Maker. Every single time (tried it 4 times), I get this error at 99.0%: The owner SID on a per-user subscription doesn't exist What is this error I tried with multiple DVD, and still get this. I'm using an NEC DVD-/+R burner (don't know the exact model). Hello, I've got the same problem. My error message is in Finnish thought, but still it is the same. I just a few days back recorded multiple files as chapters (.wmv) from my DV camera film to my vista computer (home premium). I thought the feature to record you movies was nice, too bad you can't make a use of the with windows dvd Maker, because of this error. ...Show All

• quiklearner Office 2003 Applications asks to Accept/Decline License-Agreement on EVERY Startup on Vista. Why ?

  Hello I have installed Office 2003 Professional (ENU) on Vista Home Basic (DEU). So far, Word Excel etc. work fine ... but they ask me on EVERY Startup of ANY of those Programs to Confirme or Decline the License-Agreement (which is shown in a Dialog Box). As I have Registered, Activated and Accepted what I was asked for - I cannot understand why the same Question about License Agreement comes again and again.

Right click and select "Run as administrator" 3. When Word starts, just click accept 4. No more nagging message. Cheer ...Show All

• carjo workflow project type

  hello, My workflow run from a win form application. which type of the workflow ( Sequential Workflow console App or sequential workflow library..) must be used. The advantage is knowing what your workflows are doing now and when did they finish, for example if you want to shut down the application you may want to make sure all workflow threads have completed or wait for the ones to complete yet. The way to get these notifications is by subscribing to the runtime events that the runtime engine emits the ones of interest to you would be Workflow_Completed & Workflow_Terminated. Take a look at the other events emitted by the runtime to determine which ones are of interest to you. A couple of is ...Show All

• SarahLee man-in-the-browser attacks

  CardSpace seems secure once the user is in the CardSpace desktop, but I worry about the security of the application (IE, Firefox, etc.) that invokes CardSpace in the first place. How resistant is CardSpace and/or IE7 to man-in-the-browser attacks For example, a trojan browser helper object or extension that invisibly modifies the claims presented to CardSpace. The user is not likely to be checking the claims too carefully (if at all), and the Identifying Party of course has no way even to detect, much less prevent, this attack. Is IE7 hardened against such an attack, and if so, how If the browser is compromised, then the interface between the browser and CardSpace might likewise be compromised -- that is ...Show All

• yfradkin STS Sample - managed card and Vista RC2

  Hello, I am running Vista RC2. First I executed SampleSecurityTokenService.exe. Then I created managed card with CardWriter.exe as described in documentation and I have imported that card in CardSpace (double click). After that I pressed button "Click here to get the token", I have selected managed card (the card was empty - no name, surname, PPID etc).

• Frank Förster faultHandlerActivity.Fault is always null

  Hi I have a FaultHandlerActivity in my own SequenceActivity that handles the System.Exception and calls a CodeActivity when any exception happens. This works but when I want to look at the faultHandlerActivity.Fault it is always null. I am using Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation RC4(EN).

• mtbDad Unpleasant surprise after installing Visual Studio SP1

  Dear all, Beware of installing Visual Studio SP1 if you have Workflow Foundation Extensions for Visual Studio installed. Everything looks ok until you try to create a new workflow. At this point, the binding of activity properties to dependency properties refuses to work. None of the dependency properties appear as valid choices for binding to. Also, the workflow snippets no longer work. There is a simple solution to these woes: Run the Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation setup program and Repair your installation. This is not mentioned anywhere in the VS2005 SP1 release notes. Hi, I installed VS2005 SP1 recently, and then WSSF. Now I noticed that I have no WF snippets at all. ...Show All

• Kohl.Mike How to pass parameters from one workflow to another?

  I have one workflow (workflow1) defined, and it contains a property isAuthorized. Then I have defined Workflow2 and used the invoke workflow activity to invoke workflow1 in workflow2. When the workflow1, which is a part of workflow2, is completed, I need to read the value of isAuthorized property to determine which activity in workflow2 should be invoked. How can I read that value (isAuthorized) in workflow2 Thanks, Marko Vuksanovic. Take a look at the post http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=476914&SiteID=1 Marko, the InvokeWorkflowActivity will start workflow1 asynchronously. Passing parameters (via binding) is easy, but retrieving them when you need them is anoth ...Show All

• Barry Kwok Problem with Deliver(), and two filters that don't connect in my code

  Hi I have two problems while trying to build a directshow graph in C++. I wrote a source filter that gets data from a buffer and copies it, with SourceStream::FillBuffer, on its output pin. Then I connect to it a H264 decoder, a sample grabber, and a null renderer. My first problem is that the sample grabber and the null renderer won't connect (Connect() blocks), although they do in GraphEdit. My second problem (but maybe that's a consequence of the first, since the graph is not complete), is that when I run the graph, the Deliver() function, that is supposed to send a sample from my source filter to the H264 decoder, doesn't work. This is quite strange, since it works when I build a graph in GraphEdit with the same filters, except the so ...Show All

• J M B Visual representation of my workflow

  Hello, I created an ASP.NET web-application containing a workflow for document approval. I would like to create a page in my web-application which shows a visual representation of the workflow, so my users can see the workflow. I do not want to show the same workflow as in the Visual Studio Workflow Designer, because that view is way to difficult to understand for my users.

• NickNotYet Urgent: Scheduling service in Sharepoint workflows

  Hi, Hosting a workflow in sharepoint yields in major scheduling service issue. The manual scheduler service can't be controled and thus the delay activity in turn isn't feasible. A possible walkaround was to create a task with a duedate. A windows service will run on timely basis and checks all the tasks with expiry date and updates them. In theory, updating a task will cause the workflow to trigger the OnTaskChanged method, but in practise, this wasn't the result. When this task is updated, the workflow isn't affected, whereas when manually updating the task an error occurs "event isn't received". The reason is due to the fact that the updated workflow in the windows service doesn't run the scheduler and as aresult, the workf ...Show All

• Batisse UI automation vs. Input classes (Keyboard, Mouse) AND How control patterns work?

  Hi! As I read the windows sdk documentation, I saw the Input classes such as Keyboard, or Mouse classes which let the programmers to handle, trace the input events. I would like to write a simple UI tester application and as I read, I should use UI Automation. My question is: can I find somewhere a brief comparison of using the UIA and the Input classes for this purpose It is important, becouse probably handling all input messages (that the tested program gets from the OS - user) is more common than handling just specific events which are the features of the programming language. Or the UIA does the same, but hides it from the programmer My other question would be: I use UIA for UI testing, and I record the messages b ...Show All
