How to remove the stupid Active Desktop Recovery Screen

This happens to our users on occasion, and after a little searching ran across this article!

http://www.techtamasha.com/how-to-remove-active-desktop-recovery-screen/109

It actually does the trick!

  1. Go to Run and type regedit
  2. Now navigate to this path –HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\SafeMode\Components
  3. You would find a key named DeskHtmlVersion
  4. Right click the key and select Modify
  5. Under the label Base, select the radio button Decimal
  6. Change Value data to 0
  7. Click OK

 

Qlikview Pivot Table slowness

This is probably obvious to some, but I had a large pivot table that took up most of the screen. When you would scroll it would scroll very slowly. taking a look at a similar QV, there was one that performed much better. The only difference was it was about half the size. After I shrunk the pivot table it was able to scroll much better…. very strange.

Qlikview: The annoying ‘Server communication lost, closing document’

So it seems there are various ways and means of receiving a ‘Server communication lost, closing document message’.

If you have two different machines with the same user cal viewing the same document this kills the session to use for the other machine.

If you have two different browsers(ex. FF and IE) with the same user cal viewing the same document this kills the session to use for the other client.

Or if you have the same browser(EX. IE) with Ajax and other with plug-in, and with the same user-cal, this also kill the session to use for the other client.
I find this annoying, especially as we start to roll out more iphone\ipad qlikviews. This means if a user pulls it up on their ipad they can kill their desktop session
(with a lame error that makes it look like the server crashed)
Another way that you can cause this is with a qlikview server timeout setting. To change the values open up the QEMC, system Tab, setup, click your QVS,
then performance tab and adjust your Possible session timeout: value and maximum inactive session time:

ReportViewer Client Print Control “Unable to load client print control”?

From stack overflow

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/340151/reportviewer-client-print-control-unable-to-load-client-print-control

Unable to load Client Print Control!
Everytime, clients wanted to print report by clicking the button print on their report viewer, they always got this error message.

I had spent nearly two weeks to fix this problem.
My environment is:
- Window Server 2003 Standard Edition R2
- Report Server Version 10.X.X.X
- Clients with windowXP SP3
My Solution is:
- Replacing the CAP file (RSClientPrint-x86.cab) in C\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin\
- Extract the RSClientPrint-x86.cab and destribute it to clients.

Hear is the CAB file: https://sites.google.com/site/narithsite/Home/RSClientPrint-x86.cab?attredirects=0&d=1

 

 

 

Converting PDF to .tif

In case you happen to need to convert a PDF to a .tif this seems to be a good way.

Here is a commandline that should work well for letter-sized pages of a multi-page PDF file: (Using ghostscript)

gswin32c.exe -o page_%03d.tif -sDEVICE=tiffg4 -r720x720 -g6120x7920 input.pdf

In case you want to do this under program control you could use GhostSharp, https://github.com/mephraim/ghostscriptsharp




FileStream doesn’t release resources (using bitmap)

From here http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/netfxbcl/thread/9abce4d0-d91b-49d2-9976-230e785bb750/

Image image = Image.FromFile(fileName);

Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(image);

image.Dispose();

return Image.FromHbitmap(bmp.GetHbitmap());
