Missing so many opportunities to make a great photo of a loved one (family-friend-pet), before it is their time to say good bye.

Spending countless hours on photography forums debating the silliest of things from gear to applications, while missing what I enjoy... Making photos.

Wondering where I will store all these images.

Not taking more photos of the kids.

Missing out on moments that may or may not change the world, but that I will always remember and have certainly changed the way I view the world.]]> no_email@example.com (ThomasHAdams) http://www.photosbytom.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=108#108 http://www.photosbytom.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=107#107
To remove it, often times people provide details about going into the Administration tools > Services and disabling it. Now it does not take a 2nd grader to figure out that this is not uninstalling it, deleting it, or removing it in any way shape or form.

This is how you uninstall it.

Goto Administrative Tools > Services
Locate AMD External Events Utility and right click on it, goto Properties and left click. Use the drop down next to Startup Type: and select Manual, then click on Stop to stop the service.
Wait for the Service Status: to display Stopped (otherwise you cannot remove it)

Goto Start>Run>cmd (or search for cmd) and type in the following:

Code:

sc delete "AMD External Events Utility"

And hit enter. The console should echo the following:

Code:

[SC] DeleteService SUCCESS

If you encounter problems with administrative rights, you need to run cmd.exe with elevated privileges.]]> no_email@example.com (ThomasHAdams) http://www.photosbytom.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=107#107 http://www.photosbytom.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=106#106 Error:

Kernel-Event Tracing:

The maximum file size for session "ReadyBoot" has been reached. As a result, events might be lost (not logged) to file "C:\Windows\Prefetch\ReadyBoot\ReadyBoot.etl". The maximum files size is currently set to 20971520 bytes.



Solution 1: found on MS Social from user voxmuta is as follows:

Hey guys, the solution is simple - just increase the max file size! Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\Autologger\ReadyBoot The MaxFileSize key is a DWORD with a default decimal value of 20. Increase this to, say 60, and the problem will go away. Luck to ya!

Kernel-Event Tracing: The maximum file size for session "ReadyBoot" has been reached. As a result, events might be lost (not logged) to file "C:\Windows\Prefetch\ReadyBoot\ReadyBoot.etl". The maximum files size is currently set to 20971520 bytes. The problem is is that the ReadyBoot.etl log that tracks all file activity at boot time fills up and is not bring reset or cleared. This log file provides information to optimize boot time file placement for disk anaylsis and defragmention. Since all file activity at done at boot time (even system updates, AV or spyware scans) accumulates in this file, it may fill with obsolete information. The fix is to set the ReadyBoot.etl into Circular logging mode, so that only the most recent file access activity is tracked. How to fix in Vista or Windows 7 using an Administrator account: Open the Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Performance Monitor Expand left side tree entry for Data Collection Sets Highlight Startup Event Trace Sessions Open the ReadyBoot line (click on it) Select the File tab (click on it) Select the Circular option (check on the check box) Click on Apply and OK Reboot the system After the reboot, the "\Windows\Prefetch\ReadyBoot\ReadyBoot.etl" should be reset and should only contain file access information from the last boot. You may have to wait a few minutes after boot for the data to be updated and the ReadyBoot.etl file buffers flushed. Any disk defragmenter that is ReadyBoot.etl aware will use this data to place the files accessed at boot time together to increase bootup performance.

Quote:

After some additional defrag testing, my post about ReadyBoot.etl needs clarification. If you set the logging mode to Circular, the newest file access events will overwrite the oldest. While this makes the log full error disappear, it also results in only the last events being present in the log (about 40K entries for a 20 meg log). If a defrag program uses the circularly logged ReadyBoot.etl to relocate files, it will place only the last accessed files, rather than the files accessed since boot, in the preferred location. If the Circular attribute is NOT set (the default), then the kernel file accessed since boot until the ReadyBoot.etl log fills will be logged. Defragmentation will move the files accessed since boot to in the preferred location. On my system a 2 to 3 meg ReadyBoot.etl is big enough to hold all boot time file access events. If you want the defrag utility order files by boot access sequence, then you'll have to live with the ReadyBoot.etl full message in the event log until Microsoft decides to provide a way to suppress it. Note that the defragmentation file activity may also be tracked by the kernel, so re-running the defrag one or more times without a reboot may produce some unexpected or unusual file placement results.

Years ago, Quicktime use to provide a tab in the options for file associations that worked (Imagine that years ago it used to be easier). Each time Quicktime runs it checks file types/mime types and re-associates them. There are 2 problems with the system, as it is now. The unselected files are still associated with Quicktime, and with each update, the settings are overwritten by the installer (you will have to change them back... again).

So, first things first:

Uninstall Quicktime and get a codec pack. Perhaps this one: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/k_lite_codec_pack.htm

Alternatively:

Change the default application via Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs

Or you can try:

The Quicktime control panel applet, goto Control Panel\All Control Panel Items QuickTime or QuickTime (32-Bit) and click on the Browser Tab. From there click on File Types select/deselect the filetypes you would like associated with the application and click save. Repeat it for MIME Settings...

Note: At times, the Quicktime control panel may show it is not associated with a filetype when it is, or vice versa. Performing a toggle save/untoggle save after an update can at times correct Quicktime showing incorrect associations.


You may find that this does not work, Thanks Apple!

1) Open registry edit after creating a system backup.

2) Browse to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/mpeg

3) Change the CLSID's for mpeg and mpg files from {4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69} (which is Quicktime) to {cd3afa83-b84f-48f0-9393-7edc34128127} (Windows Media Player).

See Attached images for examples (shown are for Windows 7).

You may also need to remove Quicktime .dll files from your Internet browser plugin folder(s).

1) Perform a search for npqtplugin
a)you are looking for npqtplugin.dll However, Quicktime (aka Apple) thinks that it requires extra copies of the file and may use a backup system producing files named npqtplugin1, npqtplugin2, npqtplugin3, etc. etc.... How nice of them~Not!

2) Delete the files, and test your browser(s).
a)There should be no issues, but things change, so if you run into a problem restore them from your Recycle bin and seek help]]> no_email@example.com (ThomasHAdams) http://www.photosbytom.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=105#105 http://www.photosbytom.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=104#104

Now obviously I see a need for some form of moderation. And there is always a thin line between enforcing the rules and overreaching them. In fact that line is not thin at all, and wavers alot based on many things. Things like who is enforcing them at the moment, whom the "rule breaker" is, the general mood of the forum, etc. etc.

In any case, here is a post I made recently, after many people had replied to the OP about the posters question regarding the purchasing of Adobe Photoshop actions from 3rd parties.

Later that day, after the kids swim lesson and a bite to eat I sat down at the computer where I received a prompt popup from the site in question (personal details removed as it is a somewhat private forum):

I received a couple of PM's and apparently they realized the mistake. Then of course asked me to read the rules on posting public comments about decisions made by the moderators.

I am going to let you in on a little secret, you are not going to like it.

MODS LOVE POWER! lol

This brings me to my next bit. Running your own forum is great, you can do ANYTHING you want.

PS and facebook is ALWAYS great for a spreading a good story and laugh. You never know when something stupid will go viral ]]> no_email@example.com (ThomasHAdams) http://www.photosbytom.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=103#103
