Citrix remote desktop not working on new computer - remote-desktop

I got a new computer at work and I need to work remotely using citrix receiver. It works on my old computer. I download a .ica, launch it, and a remote desktop opens where I can work. The old computer had windows 7.
On the new computer, I installed the last version of citrix and tried, but it doesnt work. I dont get any error, it actually seems to work, but needs like 1 minute to detect my mouseclicks, until it finally disconnects. The new computer has windows 10.
I tried to uninstall the lastest version of citrix receiver, and install the same I have on the old computer (4.6) but the same happens.
So, the problem is it works VERY slow (1 minute to detect each click) and then before I even log into the remote machine, it just disconnects.
Im using the same network and citrix receiver version than in my old computer. Any idea if it can be windows 10 related or how can I find out what it is causing it?
Maybe this info can help: Ive noticed a difference when opening the network central. On my old computer (where it works) I see: Terminal Server - Citrix receiver. And at the bottom it says: 1 server 0 remote applications
On the new computer (doesnt work) it says: MAD-BDCOT-PS-02 - Remote Desktop Connection. And at the bottom: 1 server 1 remote application
That's the only difference I see, but Ive done the same in both cases.
Thanks

Made it work.
After trying many things for 2 days, even installing almost every citrix receiver version, a coworker gave me a file called CitrixOnlinePluginWeb, Instead of CitrixReceiver.
I dont know what it is, and I cant post a link since he gave it to me, but Im sure knowing the name makes it easy to find in google. With this, it worked.
By the way, I think the problem was windows 10, since before knowing this other installable, I tried in several computers, and it always worked on win7 ones and didnt on win10 ones.

Launch PostgreSQL GUI

I have installed PostgreSQL v9.6 on Windows 7 using my user (PC-Admin), the problem is when I start Pgadmin4.exe the application shows that it is starting then freeze without showing the GUI , taking the following notes into consideration:
it is working fine for other users on the PC even if not in admin group.
I tried to uninstall it , delete registry folders for local machine & local user and also delete the temp folder and Apps roaming , also the folder of the program in c:/ drive and then re-install it again and problem has not been solved.
I believe that something went wrong during first time installation for my user
but I could not figure it out.
Please help me, what to do in order to clear my installation profile and then having the GUI launched after short while from starting the Pgadmin4.exe
Regards
Solved and GUI started ! just by disconnecting PC from internet before opening the application.
pgAdmin4 hosts desktop application on 127.0.0.1:(Random_Port) when started, So if you have proxy setup then upgrade to pgAdmin4 version1.6, It has resolved the this proxy related issue. (Link)

Getting the examples in libspotify to work under Windows 7

I want to get started with libspotify on my Win 7 machine but I dont have a clue on how to get it all setup so that I can even run the examples included in the pack. I have a Spotify Premium account and I have tried installing libspotify by copying libspotify.dll to c:\windows, c:\windows\system32 and to c:\windows\SysWOW64 and also changed the path variable to include the path where libspotify.dll is located but I still dont understand how to get the examples to work.
I have Code::Blocks installed but as soon as I try to import and run any of the .c files included in the /examples/ folder I get all kinds of error messages. The truth is that I am not even sure how to install libspotify and the documentation is absolutely non existent so for a beginner it is impossible to even have a chance at getting started.
Is there somebody out there who can do a simple walkthrough on how to install libspotify and get the examples up and running on a Win 7 (64-bit) machine?
The only thing I really want to do with libspotify is to be able to via a command prompt or something like that be able to queue a song in Spotify so I dont really care about the other parts. But I can probably solve that by myself as long as I can get an example up and running.
Sadly libspotify is not well-supported on Windows, in fact the example code won't even build because there is no Windows audio driver for them. Your best bet to just get up and running would be to use mingw, or linux in a VirtualBox environment.

Database connection leak when terminating (Not stopping) tomcat on eclipse

It was as hard to write a good title for this issue as it was to search the web for it.
I have a lot of projects, some are in maintenance (they have been productive for years) and others in active development. This is an important fact because the problem happens on all projects on my computer and not on others.
The problem is that I run all web projects on tomcat and they all have database connections. I always used the "Terminate" button in favor of the "Stop" button to restart or stop tomcat from eclipse.
For those who dont know, the terminate button is the red button that stops the app from the log console or the debug console, while the stop button is the same red button but on the servers console.
It is a lot faster to stop the servers from the terminate button rather then the stop button, the problem is that ever since I upgraded to Helios my database connections no longer closed when terminating the servers... they do when stopping them normally.
Well no need to say that I discovered this because the database servers (Oracle, MySQL and SQLServer) started giving "Too many connections" errors.
This is a huge head scratcher for me since code has nothing to do with this issue, different types of database management in different projects have the same problem, only on my machine! Yes I havee tried this on other computers and the problem does not occur.
I have tried everything I could think of short from formatting...
Upgraded to Indigo
Reinstalled Galileo (even downloaded a fresh copy)
Reinstalled and tried different databases
Tried different versions of Tomcat (6 and 7)
I am starting to think it might not be an IDE problem and it just happened to start when I upgraded eclipse.
ANY suggestions are welcome!
When you stop Tomcat using that red button, Tomcat is actually requested to stop itself. If some SQL statement of your webapplication is blocked, then Tomcat will not stop. This probably causes the connection leak.
Why would an SQL statement block? This typically happens if another database user updates or deletes the same record that your application is trying to update/modify.
However, in my case Eclipse shows a popup after about 30 seconds to warn that Tomcat did not stop itself. The popup asks whether Tomcat should then be terminated (which should terminate even while the blocked connectione exists).

On windows 7, my VB6 app can't see 'System' DSN's but has no trouble finding 'User' DSN's

For a while I was stuck trying to get a visual basic 6 app working in Windows 7. The last remaining snag was that it just couldn't find the DSN when starting up. On a hunch, I deleted the system DSN and created it exactly the same way, but in Users. Suddenly everything worked great. I couldn't beleive it so I tried to move it back to system thinking I may have had something wrong, but sure enough it was broken again.
I can't seem to find anyone else running into this in my google searches, but does any one have any ideas as to why this might happen?
I'de really like to go back to using the system DSN as that's easier to manage.
Thanks!
What happens if you start your VB6 application by right-clicking the icon and choosing "Run as administrator"? I suspect you would then see the System DSNs (which are presumably only visible to admin-level accounts).
Update: I think this will work - set up your system DSN by running this:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
I think the problem is that the default Win7 interface for configuring DSNs makes them 64-bit, but you need a 32-bit DSN to work with VB6. </PUREGUESSWORK>

WPF d3d9.dll crash

I have several applications in WPF that periodically crash on 2 different servers (a dell poweredge and a HP proliant). The problem is that the WPF applications both crash within d3d9.dll. Rebooting the servers always fixes the problem. The problem only occurs a few times a month. Both servers are running Windows XP instead of Windows 2003.
Here is the event viewer application log entry for the crash
Faulting application iqlayer.exe, version 5.3.1.14, stamp 4a9d0d63, faulting module d3d9.dll, version 5.3.2600.2180, stamp 41109693, debug? 0, fault address 0x0003a756.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Once this problem occurs, all further WPF applications will not run until I reboot. I even tried running a test application which showed a blank window. The test app crashed immediately on start at d3d9.dll.
I found this KB which i think is related to my problem. However, i didnt install directX SDK on my server and dont know where to uncheck "Break on D3D9 Error".
Did you upgrade your video card drivers to the latest version?
I reckon there is no answer. I have rebooted the server and cant reproduce the problem :(
