A word to the wise.

Do not upgrade your bios on a 7030 board just because an msi tech tells you to.Please search this forum first as some of the msi techs only know 1 word, RMA and are either unwilling or unable to help sort out a problem i' m glad there is no msi tech over this forum or all we would do is RMA.

unfortunately, most people don't become aware of the existence of this forum until after the event, and they are searching for help...
its not just MSI tech.... if you buy a game and you experience a few problems with it, the first general advice you will get from developer/publisher's official website is to "update BIOS and drivers" - ie a general stock reply, which isn't really of much help at all, if you have an underlying hardware problem that even the most stable BIOS and drivers can't address...

Word to the Wise - Privacy Issue

AT&T appears to quickly recycle old phone numbers these days, but it appears they do not necessarily disable the online account that was established by the previous owner of the number. It is possible that your account information may remain accessible by the previous owner of the phone number.
Sounds odd doesn't it? But after cancelling an AT&T account recently, I found that the online account could still be accessed using my old cell number and password even though the number had been reassigned to another customer. Word to the wise ... make sure you set a new password for your online account!

I never had any issues getting my ATI card to work under linux. The new ATI drivers are much improved over the previous version. Yes, I had to recompile the kernel so that AGPGART was a module but that isn't such big of a deal. I first installed the ATI drivers under Slack w/o any sort of package management using rpm2tgz.
The one thing that bugs most people about the ATI linux drivers isn't that the module is difficult to install but that the performance isn't up to par with their windows offerings. nVidia drivers are very close on both platforms. If I had a newer ATI card I'd probably stick with it before putting up more money to get an nVidia card (get an older GeForce 4 Ti or GeForce 6) right now. But, I'll probably always buy nVidia for future graphics cards. When I build my AMD64 box down the road it will be powered by nVidia graphics unless ATI improves by vast amounts in the driver department. FYI, I'm using an nVidia GeForce FX 5700 my current Athlon XP box and it isn't even close to being the card my old Radeon 8500 is for Windows, but under linux it's much better.

Word to the wise: title 3d and autorender function

If you have the auto-render function turned on, open title 3-d and walk away for lunch, you'll freeze FCP.
You get the little "Auto render complete" box, but you cannot click OK because it comes from FCP, which becomes idle when you open 3d.
Possible lessons: don't eat lunch. Don't use auto render. Don't leave title 3d open. Eat in the edit room and keep working. Save early, save often.

I've had this happen and I think I got out of it by pressing return - couldn't click on it, but I could press return or ESC. Nasty trap, tho...

A word to the wise about the PBO of a docked tree

I was just having an interesting discussion with Rich H and Max B over in ABAP Objects about "re-entrant" docked trees. ("Re-entrant" in this case means you may have to rebuild the same tree control from a different root during the same execution of the program - this is not exactly what "re-entrant" used to mean to a CICS COBOL programmer, but it's close.)
Anyway, suppose you pop a large ABAP OO tree the correct way - with just the root and its immediate children in the node table. (Then as the user clicks on an expandable folder, you find its children and insert them, etc.)
Then you have to be very very careful if the tree is docked on a screen with its own PBO, because the PBO will actually fire each time you click on a folder to expand it.
Why do you have to be careful?
Well, suppose you're in the situation I was telling Rich and Max about - where the user can back out of the tree screen and come back into it with a different "root" selection.
Then you have to distinguish between two different cases in which the PBO will fire - the case where you want to pop a brand-new tree and the case where you want to continue pop new levels of an existing tree.
As I said, it never occurred to me that the screen PBO would have to fire each time the user did nothing else except expand a folder in a tree on the screen.
So I thought this might not occur to others as well, and that's why I'm mentioning it while we're sitting here having coffee.

Word to the wise about ATI

Please see the forum Documentation Discussion ATI Radeon and Kernel2.6 (Updated).
This discussion has 29,564 viewers, a poll to vote on its usefulness, a total of 208 replies and 14 pages of them.
The indications are that the ATI modules are a bear to install and run.
The evidence indicates that the stock kernel will not permit the loading of ATI drivers. The kernel has to be hand -made by the user.
This is stated in the forum replies....can you believe it is a fact or just a wily-nily comment?
The sheer number of difficulties encountered indicate the poor definition of the problem in the first place.
I predict this is only the beginning of even further problems as the archlinux kernels are pacman -Syu installed.
I have two ATI modules I will send back to ATI...these guys are in Canada,yet!!!!
I have to sign-off now while I go to Fry's to get a good video card.
Bye-Bye ATI!!(Care to join me?)

Kaspersky anti virus 2011 kernel panic- a warning to the wise on compatibility

Lately after all the malware scares including macdefender I decided to invest in kaspersky anti virus 2011.. Unfortunately I found that after i installed the program kernel panic after kernel panic because of Presumably compatibility issues (an updateed version has been released now) the installation became completely corrupted.
Great I thought.. So let's boot recovery hd to restore a time machine backup. Oops the recovery hd isn't on the boot select screen as expected but available be cause of filevault2 (constructive criticism apple perhaps a did you know or tooltip for commands would be useful on the boot up graphic?), which is ok if a little inconsistent in the design.
Right done.. So I managed to get to the stage of restoring my backup before reaching the spinning wheel of death during the restore process (probably wifi. Related). Only to find that the whole partition had been wiped including the recoveryHd.
Although this is to be expected you'd imagine that it would be a better failsafe incase of connectivity issue to clone the recovery hd partition locally first before looking to the time machine backup just in case. As in my case the perhaps self inflicted response was to restart the machine during the process because it had locked up.. Oops ok.
Right.. Snow leopard time. I'm now in the process of using the snow leopard disk which fortunately it seems can restore to lion backups after a somewhat drawn out process of self inflicted errors and somewhat obscured measures in lion (ambiguity of boot up modes, no failsafes in restore process).
Whilst I believe anti virus is a good measure in light of recent events, a word to the wise. Check compatibility first :).

A word to the wise, when you find something that is incompatible, inform the developer of the said software so they can issue a word of warning on their own website. Edit: Also a good developer can do an operating system check to see if their software is compatible upon installation, and warn the user not to install.

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera'

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera's DSC files?

DNG files do not contain some metadata supplied by the camera, which can be used by the manufacturer's software. Thus, if you don't keep the original Raw photo, you will lose this information.
If your 1000% sure you're never going to use the manufacturer's software, then this isn't a problem. But who can be sure what software you will be using 10 years from now?

how can i stop an error message that comes up when i am using word? the error message is "word is unable to save the Autorecover file in the location specified. Make sure that you have specified a valid location for Autoreover files in Preferences,…"

It sounds like if you open Preferences in Word there will be a place where you can specify where to store autorecover files. Right now it sounds like it's pointing to somewhere that doesn't exist.

How to set tabstops in MS Word using the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit

Using the Report Generation Toolkit of LabVIEW, I need to set multiple tabstops that very in distance in MS Word. I also have different sets of tabstops that I use and re-use at different times in the same report. Is there a way to set the tabstops under program control? I searched through the various VIs and found that there is a property ("Tabstops", "Word.Tabstops") in the _ParagraphFormat property node that refers to tabstops. I found it in the Word Format Paragraph (adv) VI. Unfortunately, I could not determine how to use it. Any suggestions? Is this an operational element?

Bluebell,
Sounds like you've already done some fantastic work to expose the various properties and methods of MS Word. It took me about 20 min before I could find the specific property that you were talking about! I found it under Word.Document>>Paragraphs>>Tabstops>>Add. There is a position, alignment and leader parameter that you can set from this property node. I've found that the best way to discover what these parameters do is to simply experiment. You could also try using the macro recorder in Word, perform the specific task, and then look at the code generated. I'm guessing that position sets the position of the tabstop itself. It sounds like your application is really specific. For such a specific task, I think I'd write a macro and call that macro from LabVIEW.

Can you have pages and word on the same computer

can you have pages and word on the same computer

Sure, I do (my Office is 2008 but I keep it around for some things I get from work).

The Firefox spell checker has the option for me to add custom words to the dicionary. Please tell me how to delete a word from this file of custom words because a mispelled word got in there by mistake.

I want to know how to delete words from the custom dictionary in the spell checker that I put there by mistake.

In your profile directory, the file is '''persdict.dat''' and you should know how to get to your profile. One way is to enter '''about:support''' in the location bar then click on "Open Containing Folder". Or go through the Help menu > Troubleshooting Information > ...
You can edit with wordpad, or notepad++, but not with notepad,
because there is one word per line and you will not see that in notepad after Firefox has updated it.  Update after closing Firefox.
I will have to change my Spell Check documentation to not suggest notepad

Is there a way to add/delete words from the predictive text ?

Is there a way to add/delete words from the predictive text options that my iPhone is giving me? I'm using an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.
There are specific words that are popping up in the area right above the keyboard where it displays 3 word suggestions to choose from. This area seems to suggest words that I have typed before, I'd like to remove these words. Default seems to select the word in the center and when I'm typing fast on occasion it will recommend and select words that I don't need to use.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank youI would suggest upgrading to a supported version of the database. 9i has been unsupported for many many years now.
And to answer your question... to the best of my knowledge, there is no workaround. It works as it works.

Is there a way to remove one or more words in the dictionary list of auto-completion?

Is there a way to remove one or more words from the dictionary list of auto-completion?

Hi Gordon,
Auto-completion does not involve the dictionary. The process is dynamic, and remembers the text string you have entered into each cell. The auto completion list is constructed using data you have entered into cells above the one you are currently working with. Suggestions presented contain the same character string as a previous entry in that column. Editing the list presented is not possible.
Auto-Correction does involve the spelling dictionary. It monitors the text as you type. If it finds an 'unregognized word,"' AND has more than one suggestion as to the 'correct' word, it opens a dialogue, giving you a chance to choose one of the suggestions, enter your own corection, or to accept the current spelling. If there is only one suggestion offered, Auto-correction automatically replaces the unrecognized word wth that suggestion.
Regards,
Barry

How to highlight specific words in the Reader

Hi!
I am new to the Acrobat SDK and could need some guidance on how to solve the following problem:
I need a plug-in that is able to highlight specific words in a pdf file (e.g. by underlining it or changing the background color) and offers a context menu with futher actions when the user clicks on a highlighted word. The first step would be searching the text to find the word that should be marked. I think that should not be that hard but how can I highlight specific words? I first thought of annotations but I need it in the Reader and I should not change the pdf file itself (just the view of it).
The idea is similar to the skype plug-in for Firefox or IE. The skype plug-in highlights phone numbers. We need to highlight specific words.
Thanks for every hint on how to achieve this!
Fabian

>The documentation says that AVPageViewHilightText is supposed to use >the current color set with AVPageViewSetColor - so it should work. >What version of Acrobat are you working with?
Yes that how understood the documentation too. I tried the following:
//Define red
red.space = PDDeviceRGB;
red.value[0] = ASInt32ToFixed(1);
red.value[1] = 0;
red.value[2] = 0;
// highlight
AVPageViewSetColor(pageView, &red);
PDTextSelect pdTextSelect = PDDocCreateTextSelect(pdDoc, pageNum, &bbox);
AVPageViewHighlightText(pageView, pdTextSelect);
I am using Acrobat 7.0.9.

Oh I should have seen that. Thanks for the hint!!
>Interesting, there should be a way to get transparency,
> but I am not seeing it at the moment.
As far as I understood it, it is possible to set the color to transparent but thats not what I am looking for. I would like to have a way of changing the alpha channel of the color.
Thanks!
