ReadyBoost on S4920 using the built-in card slot

Hello
Toshiba M305-S4920 uses integrated O2Micro SD/MS/XD card reader. Unfortunately, this device is not compatible with Vista's ReadyBoost feature (at least with the drivers supplied with the laptop). Maybe someone here knows if it is at all possible to enable ReadyBoost throught this device somehow? Another set of drivers perhaps (older, newer)? Some hack maybe?
Thanks,
Andrey

I need to continue my previous post with some (unfortunately) bad news from today - regarding the new driver version only, not the final outcome!
First off, here is more info on the 3.25 driver:
http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=1306486
Now I have to say that I had to uninstall this driver which I installed just yesterday. The reason - I started getting a BSOD when "stress-testing" the ReadyBoost functionality. Simply opening and fast closing the VMWare Workstation 6.5.2, without even starting a virtual machine inside of it, caused this blue screen error pretty much consistently:
0x00000050  PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
It may be just my particular Vista Ultimate x64, 4GB RAM setup at fault (the SD cards were OK, tried with different brands/capacities/file system formats, same BSODs).
Now with the Generic SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller driver by Microsoft (version 6.0.6001.18000) and a "hanging" unknown device in the device manager, the ReadyBoost is working very well! No BSODs, no any problems at all with standbies/hibernates, with a running 2GB RAM, 2processor Vista x64 Virtual Machine inside, and definitely sensible responsiveness boost in both the VM and the laptop host, with an even not so fast SD card (4GB SanDisk microSD HC, class 4, an average of ~6000 KB/s reads, ~3500 KB/s writes, as measured by ReadyBoost).
Will leave it this way - at this point the unknown device in the device manager is just a little nice looking icon

    I am in Asia particularly in the Philippines Sir.
    Yes I do see it in device manager labeled DVBT hybrid TV device. I think thats the tuner card right?
    The program I am running to configure it is Windows Media Center, I am using a windows 7 OS..I connected the portable antenna and tried also a tv antenna but when it scans for signals it tells me it cant see any signal or channel at all.I am in a place where TV's connect to a channel even though your just using an aluminum tube..so signal is really good so I cant seem to figure out why it cant detect any..T_T.Thanks for your response sir..greatly appreciated.

  • I can't download any software using the built in web browser. Any ideas?

    Hey hey! Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
    I just got a new Treo 755p for Verizon. I can't seem to download any software using the built in web browser. When I initiate the download it sits on the download screen and does nothing. I've tried several sources of software all resulting in the same thing.
    Could it be settings on the Treo itself? Not sure! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,

  • Can we use the built-in Row fetch for Multiple reports in a page?

    I need to create a page with multiple report regions. Each of it is based on a table. Those tables are different. I somewhat remembered that we can NOT use the built in automatic row fetch process if there are multiple report regions, neither the built in DML process. You have to make your own fetch and insert/update/delete process if you intend to.
    Also if I write my own row fetch and update processes, do I have to consider lock mechnism? or just simply write select and insert/update?
    Any input is appreciated.

    I think I found the answer. Would Scott or other gurus take a look at the thread and confirm it, in case the limitation is not in 2.0?
    Re: automatic row fetch
    What I am concered about is that the locking mechanism. If I have to write my own process to fetch and insert/update, other than the regular select and insert/update statements, do I have to put commit by myself, or htmldb can handle it automatically? Is there an example for this?
    Thanks in advance.

  • I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.

    I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4, so it appears my headset mic is fine.  I can also use voice activated dialing, although it fails miserably interpreting numbers.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.   I just get barely audible static.  Any suggestions?   Thanks.

    Hello, did you ever get an answer to your question? I just picked up a Jawbone Era and using on an iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Seems to work fine on regular calls, but not on the built in Voice memos application. It worked fine on my older Jawbone Icon, but haven't tested on the 4s or iOS 5.
    Thanks!

  • How do I use the secondary graphics card on a mac book pro with retina display?

    I know that this is kind of a stupid question but I am new to dual graphics cards and this is the first mac that I have ever had, so I don't understand how you use the 2nd graphics card. When I click on the apple logo and go to about it shows the Intel Graphics HD 4000, but I know that they put an Nvida in here to so how do I access that? Because it has a lot more graphic power than the intel does.

    Try opening iPhoto and then consulting the More Info... item. That app will cause an autoswitch to the big GPU.
    Same will happen with any other app that requires that kind of display driving power.

  • How do I use the built-in camera or webcam?

    I know this may sound very elementary but there was no documentation with my Mac when I bought it new (except a thin flimsy pamphlet with very baic stuff in it) and the help menu comes up with nothing at all when I search for web cam, webcam or isight.
    Where do I go to learn about how to use the built-in camera/web cam as a camera and also as a web cam?
    Thank you

    There should have been a seventy page booklet in the box with your new iMac.  If yours is the latest version, clicking here will download it if you cannot find the physical copy.  If yours is an older iMac model, you can search for the correct manual from the iNtel iMac Support Page > "Manuals" link.
    After that, Mac 101 is a great web-based information source.  If you don't need general help, take a look here for specifics about each application of interest.
    VortexBoy wrote: ... and the help menu comes up with nothing at all when I search for web cam, webcam or isight....
    If your posted info is correct that you are running Mac OS X (10.7.3), you should be able to get started by using your Mac's Finder > Help menu command.  Searching for "camera" (without quotation marks) on my 10.7.3 Mac returns Mac's Help article entitled "Use your Mac’s built-in camera."  This is the web version of the same help.
    Other apps, like QuickTime Player (the Lion QT 10.x version), and iMovie (part of iLife that came with your Mac) can also use your iMac's camera. 
    iMovie Help or this web page version of the same help will explain how to "Record video directly into iMovie".
    Use QTX Player's File > New Movie Recording menu command to record video with it.  You can configure size and quality of the recorded material by using QTX's preferences as shown in this image:
    VortexBoy wrote: ... Where do I go to learn about how to use the built-in camera/web cam as a camera and also as a web cam? ...
    Different apps do not all work the same.  For function-specific help, search Help in separate camera applications; i.e., after you launch Photo Booth, iChat, QTX, iChat, etc., use the individual app's Help menu command to search for more info on the camera or what you want to do.
    This article offers great basic tips about how to position, light, and use built-in cameras.  Although its subject shows it was written for iMacs, it is equally applicable to other reader's inbuilt Apple cameras, too.
    For more specialized functions than those offered by the camera software already included with your Mac, you can search the Mac App Store for other apps that can use your camera.
    For webcam help with iChat, use Apple's iChat Support page if you need more help that that provided in the dialog boxes and iChat > Help on your Mac.
    To use your camera with FaceTime, search your Mac's FaceTime > Help or these web versions of the same Help topics that should be available on your Mac.
    Skype or other third party webcam apps will offer their own Help menus of varying quality.  In additon to these app Help services, some apps offer comprehensive Support services via their web page.  If you decide to add Skype to your Mac, you can click here to review the excellent Skype Support pages.
    If you need to start a new topic for specific questions after you get started, give as much detail about what you want to do and what you may have already tried unsuccessfully.  We will offer specific suggestions based on the details you provide.
    Enjoy your new Mac!

  • How do I use the built-in microphone on my iMac while using Windows XP?

    My iMac has a built-in microphone. My computer is set up with a partition to run either mac or windows. I would like to use the built-in microphone feature when I am using Windows XP. Is there any way that I can do this?

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    assuming you have installed the neccessary BootCamp Drivers from the OSX Leopard DVD the internal mic is useable with any kind of recording software.
    Windows itself has a rather rudimentary Audiorecorder program built-in.
    For a more sophisticated recording program have a look at Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

  • Is there a way to use the built-in Datalogging and programmatically log the front panel while the vi is running?

    I would like to use the built-in Data Logging feature. There is the "Log at Completion" option, but is there a way to programmatically make a new log record while running? I looked around in VI server and couldn't find any methods that would do that. Currently, I am grabbing all of the front panel control references using VI Server and if there are any changes, the changed values are written to a log file along with a date/time stamp. I'm mostly dealing with buttons, which simply change from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0, so it's not too hard to visualize what was pressed. It works okay for reconstructing what happened, but it would be much nicer to use the built-in fe
    ature because you can "replay" directly onto the front panel and actually see what the changes were. However, without being able to programmatically make a new log, it won't work for me.

    Jake,
    There are several options here.
    I would suggest using your own code for datalogging. The datalogging you are referring to is primarily for debug, and one shot datalogs of front panel indicators (and controls?), not including graphs, etc.
    If you go to the file functions, you will see a menu for datalogging. These functions will allow you to save your data, as you need it, simply, and in a compact format.
    I recommend opening the datalog file, doing all your file operations, and closing the file before the program is complete. There are several examples of this in the examples database.
    Good luck

  • I share a an apple id with my kids. We all use the same credit card for purchases.  Is it possible for only me to use the icloud online storage without making this available or visible to the kids?

    My kids and I all use the same credit card and password for app and music purchases.   I'm assuming we all use the same apple ID too. (not sure) We can share apps and music although we all have our own itunes libraries. Is it possible for only me to use the icloud online storage without making this available or visible to the kids or do we all have our own storage?

    I just checked and they have already sucked up all my online storage.  Ahhh techy teens!  I think I will just leave it at that and back my own stuff up on my computer. Less confusing
    Thanks for all the help!  I am definitely more educated now and I'm off to check that cc bill too.

  • How can i use the built-in microphone at the same time as using my earphones? (they have an external mic attached)

    I am recording stuff on garageband and i need to hear other tracks as I'm playing, but I have to play them through external earphones so that the they don't overlap onto the one I'm creating.
    The wire for my earphones has an external microphone attached to it, however, I have no desire to use this microphone as it is ridiculously sensitive and picks up even the slightest vibrations when the wires rub against my cheek or my t-shirt.
    Therefore, I need to use the built-in microphone when recording. Except that, whenever I plug in the earphones to the iMac, garageband automatically switches to the external microphone. I went in to the Garageband preferences, and saw that it was set up for recording through the built-in mic, which is strange because input is clearly coming from the external.
    So, I went into the iMac System preferences > sound > input. There are three options here: Internal microphone, Line-in, and Soundbooth 3.0.
    What I found is that whenever I plug my earphones into the iMac, the option for 'Internal microphone' changes into an option for 'external microphone'. Now, I am fairly sure that an 'external microphone' is EXACTLY the same thing as a 'Line-in', but I'm not so sure now, so please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
    How do I stop the iMac from changing 'Internal microphone' to 'External microphone'? It is very important that I am able use the earphones and the Built-in Mic at the same time.

    Hi John,
    I think the only way is to get an iMic...

  • With iOS 8's family sharing, will family members be able to share apps that they previously purchased with different credit cards with one another for free (given that they will all use the same credit card once iOS 8 comes out)?

    Question 1: In my family of 4, we currently have different Apple ID's and we all use different credit cards to purchase our apps and media. When iOS 8 is released, if we agree to share the same credit card, will we be able to access apps that a family member purchased with their own credit card prior to iOS 8's release? To clarify, under iOS 7, Member 1 has purchased Apps A and B with his credit card. Under iOS 8, if Members 1, 2, 3, 4 decide to use Member 4's credit card, will Members 2, 3, 4 be able to access Apps A and B?
    Question 2: If we all decide to use the same credit card now, once iOS 8 is released, will family members have access to the apps/media purchased by the fourth family member?

    You can read everything that is known about ios 8 on Apples website.
    There is no way for anyone to know any more than that.
