Accuracy of tm-2 - Please report your experience!ll
I had the screen of my tm-2 2010eg (european market) replaced once already, yet, it's accuracy is still gruesome. At the edges it is completely off and even in the fair center of the screen the cursor derivates by 1 - 2 mm into a random direction.
It's practically impossible to write naturally. If I want to write, I have to carefully write "by cursor". Attempting to write naturally results in unreadable results.
Do you have similar problems?
I have the same trouble you have at the edge, but my cursor function otherwise has been fine, not as you describe.
From my direct experience with Tablet PC's (the ones with active digitizers using a pen) and from observing discussion sites such as this, tabletpcbuzz, tabletpcreview, etc., these machines can unfortunately be temperamental.
In my limited understanding, it seems that the active digitizer screen is very sensitive to EM interference, so much so that problems may occur only when certain circumstances are met, such as the machine becoming too hot, the positioning, what it is positioned near, and various combinations. This results in the very frustrating situation of sending the machine in, the company not being able to immediately reproduce the problem and then saying nothing is wrong with it, or replacing the screen anyway, which doesn't fix the problem because the problem was not with the screen per se.
This is one of my biggest frustrations with the whole computer marketplace. Things would be so much easier if you could go to a store and actually look at the performance of several machines and then learn what is standard function and what is "a lemon". I have been assuming the distortion at the edge is part of the basic engineering of the machine and learned to put up with it, but you are correct that if the penabled digitizer isn't working properly then all you have is an over-priced laptop.
My guess is that they can replace the screen a million times and it will not help the problem unless by accident they modify something else at the same time. In other models of tablet PCs, fixes (other than replacing the entire machine with one that works) have included physically inserting aluminum foil under the screen and on top of the rest of the hardware, increased shielding over specific components, making sure the fan is working correctly, and perhaps even re-clocking the CPU so it runs at a lower temperature, etc. Unfortunately, an erratic cursor seems to be a symptom of EM interference which can be generated a myriad of ways rather than the evidence of a specific defect with a specific known fix.
If your machine is off warranty and you have no other options, you may want to look at this post:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/tm2t-touch-screen-and-pen-input-completely-d...
and follow the links in it about how to disassemble the screen and consider how you would place extra shielding (aluminum foil). I would look at other discussions sites too, such as tabletpcbuzz, tabletpcreview, and tabletpcmagazine (and its "sister-cites). Currently the people at tabletpcmag are who I would go to to request help from other than going to HP under warranty.
If others want to correct me or challenge my thoughts, be my guest. I'm an expert only at being frustrated by EM on my NEC Versa Litepad first generation tablet...

K8n neo2-f nf3 ultra board - onboard nic problem? Please post your experiences
I just ordered the k8n neo2-f nf3 ultra board, with a venice 3500+ chip, from newegg. I saw various posts on the mobo, however, from people who said the onboard nic doesn't work right out of the box, that they had to go in and manually enter the mac address in Windows that they retrieved from a sticker on the parallel port.
I can deal with a problem like that easily, but I find it hard to believe MSI would ship such a defective board design as that. Is this really the commonplace experience with this board? Please post your experience with this board if you've used it or had experience with itQuote from: Scubahard on 15-September-05, 13:22:52
Okay I typed my address under the "network addapters" and I still do not have any internet access. I even tried to reboot...and nothing. My computer knows when I have a cable hooked up to the port. It will tell me "network cable connected" or "network cable unplugged." I hooked up my netgear network card and I was able to get online.
Should I be messing with the "authentication" tab and/or the IEEE 802.1x setting?
My windows 2k computer has a broadcast "node type" while me K*N Neo2 board does not have a line for node type (under ipconfig). Also my XP computer does not have a line that will tell me the values for: DHCP Server and DNS Servers. It also has a no value for the default gateway line. It DOES have a value for the "Connection Specific DNS Suffix". It is for comcast.
I hope all this is not too confusing. I was trying to list all the questionable settings. What should I try next?
Thanks!
Well, if you're wondering about the 'dhcp server', 'dns servers', 'default gateway', etc., that is all in the 'Network Connections' folder which can be reached from the Control Panel. To get to those settings, you right-click on the 'local area connection' that corresponds to the onboard lan, and click 'properties'. Then, select 'network protocol(tcp/ip)' in the list of networking components and click the 'properties' button. That will bring up the set of tabs where you can set those properties (although there is no 'dhcp server' address setting, just the option to either specify an address or use dhcp to automatically assign an address).
I get the impression, though, that you're saying if you slap in a pci network card, it connects right away, so I doubt any of those settings are needed (unless you left out the part about going into the tcp/ip settings for the pci nic and specifying an address, etc., which I doubt you did). Have you considered contacting msi tech support on the problem? If it's a new board, I'm sure you're entitled to free tech support. It seems like, with all of the chatter on these boards over this issue, they should be well aware of it and be familiar with the ways to 'fix' it. -
Hi,
In our company various versions (V7, R8.1 and R8.3) of Primavera being used in various locations. To bring all the location to a common platform, management has decided to implement / upgrade Primavera EPPM P6 R8.3 and also planned to integrate Primavera P6 R8.3 EPPM with Oracle (EBS) Projects application . Hence, If any of you implemented Primavera P6 EPPM R8.3 or upgraded the earlier versions to Primavera P6 R8.3. Please share your ideas and also the pros and cons of implementing R 8.3 EPPM. For your information we are going to have SQL database since all the existing databases are in SQL.
Please share your ideas and experiences.Hi,
we have done a lot of implementations and migrations to the P6 EPPM R8.3 from different former versions and this is working fine. the dbsetup does a good job.
A good way in my point of view is to set up a new P6 EPPM R8.3 system with a new PMDB Instance which will keep the configurations so that you easily can migrate or exchange the instances. Always remind to have a validated backup of any instance before migrating.
Before migration you should mind the following points:
The source version of the old P6 PMDB instance is:
P6.2.1 or before => first you need to migrate it to P6 V7.0 before you can migrate it to P6 R8.3
P6 V7.0 => check if you have used P6 WebAccess: if not okay, else check if you used jackrabbit (look for migration tool), Workflows (close all before migrating); Check if using Jobservice XER-Export (no longer available); Jobservice Batchreport (only Workaround available see Knowledgebase); Risks in the P6 Client (need to be manually migrated)
P6 R8.0 to R8.2 => Using Extended Schema, Enterprise Reporting Database, own BI Publisher Reports => Check stept to be taken for migration
Other questions are:
Which authentication method will you use (native, LDAP, SSO)? If not using native and you want to connect the BI Publisher then you need also to use that authentication there.
The migration itself is pretty easy if you take care that all sessions are closed (no users or unclosed primavera sessions settings on that instance, stop all Applications, interfaces or Services connected to the instance. Cleanup your refrdel_deletes, logical_deletes and (if used before), extended Schema tables.
Then you can migrate with dbsetup, use additional Service Packs and Fixpacks (actually Service Pack 1) on the instances and then you can connect them into the environment by adding it to the P6 Configuration.
I mentioned you don't want to put all data into one final PMDB-Instance.

Please add your experience to this thread: LR V1 vs LR V2- on YOUR system
Just out of curiosity sake...would people mind putting a few thoughts here as to their upgrade experience. PLEASE NO posts about speed issues, or arguing over system specs etc etc...there are already plenty of those threads here.
Instead what I am asking is for people to simply answer the following questions, no more no less. So if you like to participate please keep the posts simple. I am hoping this will provide some idea to those of us who have yet to upgrade as to what we can expect. Thanks for helping..
1) What OS, ie Windows or Mac (XP or Vista, What Mac OS version)
2) Processor type (cores and speed)
3) Ram (amount and speed if you know it)
4) Main working Hard drive (internal, external-& connection here- And speed ie 7200, 10,000, striped raid...etc)
5) Average # of images in library
6) In you subjective opinion would you say that LR V1.x ran:
a) Adequate
b) Good
c) Screaming fast
d) Slooow
7) Since upgrading to V2 on your CURRENT system how would you rate LR V2 vs your experience in V1? Please use the above a-d answers
8 ) After your experience with question #7, did you upgrade your system? If so what did you do and how did it affect your perception of speed in LR V2? Again using the above a-d answers
Thanks again. I know this is not scientific, nor does it address all the possible variables. But it will give us an idea as to how LR V2 MAY run on our systems when compared to V11.Xp-sp3
2. 2G Amd Athlon 64
3. 2456 Mb memory
4. Internal 7200
5. images +- 1700mb (new cataloque for Aug.)
6. V1.4 -good, but would lock up on export once a week
7.a)initially good -first two days after install
b)uninstalled v1.4 and v2 went from sloooow to very bad.
c.Today Aug-Registry clear out of anything 'Lightroom',Moved any folder connected to Lightroom off the hard drive except current cataloque, UNINSTALLED V2. shut down computer-rebooted.
d. Reinstalled V2, redid preferences, opened current cataloque, redid a develop preset EVERYTHING is working WELL! Local adjustments now usable.
8.No changes to computer. Should have cleared out old Lightroom stuff before installing V2 -
Please share your experiences moving from Quark to InDesign
My company's design group is pushing to move from Quark to Indesign, starting with one of my projects, which is our largest (400 pages), highest profile document (it is currently in Quark, and the plan is to pour the text and graphics into InDesign). Our schedule is very lean--leaving little room for surprises. None of the compositors in the design group have used InDesign. They are expected to recieve some formal training--but only about 1 week's worth total over a period of several weeks. I am all for making the transition to InDesign, but feel that the wiser path to take is to start on smaller and less high-profile documents that have more time in the schedule for the learning curve. However the design manager is adament that the transition will be problem-free. My experience is that any transition like this has bumps, and most are unexpected, and create havoc and panic. This document has only gone to print on time once (in 10+ years)--with me managing the project and with much sweat and tears. My hope that this year we could go to print on time AND do it with less wear and tear on all who work on it. I just don't think this will happen making this tranisiton now. Can anyone share their experiences when they made the transition?
Everyone else has had really good advice about starting with a 400 page doc, particularly if it's complex. If it's just text with a couple illustrations every 4 or 5 pages, it might be do-able, but if it's a complex document with lots of stuff on every page, it could be tricky.
Try this link for the official converter's guide.
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/indesign/articles/indcs3ip_quarkmigration.pdf
Some practical tips for the beginning XPress converter that I learned the hard way...
- Cmd-shift-click pulls stuff off the master page.
- The lack of master anchors may limit your ability to accomplish certain master page layouts (with prelinked text boxes) that are easy to do in XPress. Everyone here will tell you to simply use the margins to control your text flow, which may or may not work well for your particular case.
- Always scroll around a document by holding down option+spacebar. This insures that you will get the scroll hand tool every time instead of accidentally inserting a zillion spaces into your text.
-Cmd-shift-A deselects everything in a text box so that you can select another tool. There is no next/prev tool shortcut, but rather keys for each tool. (T is text, A is the white arrow, V is the black arrow)
- You "thread frames" rather than "link text boxes" despite how I wrote this. :)
- Don't set text wrap to effect only the stuff underneath in the prefs because...
- All text should go in a separate layer on top of the graphics layer because...
- InDesign dynamically resolves transparency effects at print time, which means if part of your text is layered under a transparent element it may get rasterized.
- If you need to get text to show even when it's on top of an object with a text wrap, select the text box and check the "Ignore text wrap" option.
- Overprint Preview is your friend. It'll help show you all those things that you didn't notice were going to print strangely before you commit them to print. (Overprinting white type, etc)
- When you're just starting out, so is the Flattener Preview because you will start to get a feel for what is going to be bitmapped and what won't.
- XPress documents imported into InDesign should always be exported as Adobe InDesign Interchange and reimported one more time. .inx is the equivalent of the "thumb-nail drag" trick in XPress to clean up a document that is acting funny.
- XPress documents with placed EPS files may come in with the "Non-printing object" attribute checked on some of the EPS graphics. There's a script floating around that Dave Saunders wrote to fix this. Also, turning Overprint Preview will help you spot this (look for the disappearing objects).
- If you are placing EPS objects, be sure to set your import options to "Render preview from postscript" or your previews won't look right and/or may be deceiving.
- Don't every base your paragraph styles off of "Basic Paragraph Style", because if it ever changes in another document your type will suddenly change when you paste it from one document to another.
- Don't base anything off of "Basic Object Style" for the same reasons.
- Your defaults change whenever your change the options in a palette/panel without anything selected. Curious why every new object you draw comes in with a drop shadow or a 3pt rule, for example? You accidentally set those options with nothing selected.
- InDesign's paragraph composer may drive you (or your proof-readers) wonky because it will change the flow of text paragraph-wide if you redo a line of text. You can either adjust it for decent text flow and leave it alone OR turn it off by basing all your stylesheets on single-line composer. People in here will largely recommend option one, but if it doesn't work for your stuff, don't be afraid to disable it.
- Make sure to upgrade to the latest CS3 update, because CS3 v5.00 had some fairly crashy behavior.
- If CS3 feels really sluggish, try turning off page previews in the Pages palette.
- CS3 and OS X 10.5 are not fully compatible yet.
Best of luck! It's not really that big a change, but everything is slightly different so expect a bit of time to really get your feet under you. -
Please share your experience with the universal dock for iphone 3g
Hi There,
1. Can people share their experience of the universal dock with the iphone 3g adapter. My concern is that does the tight fit scratch the black lower back of the iphone plastic everytime we remove it or put it in? OR is there enough gap for the iphone to slip in and out without scratching.
2. Anyone having issues with the universal dock or does it work fine for most?
thanks in advance,
cheers,
SunilThanks for your advice.
I recently purchased a universal dock for my iphone 3g. It works great. I just had one question. When my iphone is sitting on it for lets say 20 - 30 minutes. Then if i press the buttons on the remote. nothing happens! If I then press the home button while it is on the cradle then, the remote, it plays music. There after lets say if I stop stop the music through the remote and again press the remote button after a few minutes it starts playing. So what happens after a long time. Why do i have to press the home button on the iphone for the remote to work. Is that how it is supposed to work???

ThinkPad X131e - please share your experiences
Hello,
I am located in Germany and I tried to order ThinkPad X131e from the Lenovo Shop, but believe it or not: the online store cannot process the order. For Lenovo this should be a cause for embarrassment.
I think that ThinkPad X131e is just the kind of machine I have been looking for. But I have had a hard time finding a
single review of ThinkPad X131e online.
I was therefore wondering if those who have purchased this item could share their impressions and experiences.
Regards,
NovalisIt looks like it's unchanged from the X130e aside from the internals, which are barely an upgrade.
Either way, my x130e is built like a tank and performs on par for a netbook.
You can literally throw it at a brick wall and barely harm it.
The touchpad is pretty horrible though. -
Airtunes sound quality - Please share your experiences
I use a Powerbook G4 to stream mostly lossless classical music files to an Airport Express 802.11n linked using a standard cable to a NAD 326BEE amplifier (auxiliary input) and PSB Imagine B speakers. The sound is very good with not a lot of bass but I find that despite all the "sound enhancements" features of iTunes [8.02 (20)] being unchecked, the music is projected forward, overeager, too present vs. a portable CD which I also use from time to time. For a start, the maximum volume of this CD player has nothing to do with iTune's maximum volume which is sensibly louder but still, even at volume levels that appear comparable, the sound from Airtunes has a glow which can be fatiguing after a while. Are there differences between computers over Airtunes? Are some better than other? Any idea on how to improve the sound?
Tesserax wrote:
Are there differences between computers over Airtunes? Are some better than other?
Not really. The AX can only handle audio at a 44.1kHz sample rate, regardless of the source ... so switching devices shouldn't make any difference.
iTunes uses a QuickTime CODEC to convert audio files to Apple Lossless, and then, uses AirTunes to send them to the AX. In turn, the AX uses built-in software that converts the Apple Lossless to an Encoded Digital Audio format. From there, digital audio is sent to a optical transceiver to convert the electrical signal to an optical one before sending it to the innermost part of the audio port.
The AX works only with iTunes v4.6+ and is limited to music files that iTunes can read; ie, 16-bit data only. (An exception is you can use a third-party product like Rogue Amoeba's AirFoil to stream other non-iTunes sources.) These data, though, can be in any file format that iTunes recognizes, from lossy MP3s at the low-quality end of the spectrum to Apple Lossless and lossless AIF or WAV files at the high end. Again, it is important to note that the AX functions only at a 44.1kHz sample rate. When you play 32kHz or 48kHz data, iTunes sample-rate-converts the data in real time before sending it to the AX.
In all honesty I have no idea what half of that means.
I'm having the same problem, horrible Airport Express sound. And all of my files are Apple Lossless which is apparently a completely copy of whatever is on the CD.
kHz and sample rate is irrelevant as far as I know. It's Lossless. It's a straight up copy basically, right?
So why does it sound so godawful through Airport Express? -
Your Experience with RSSM / compatibility mode in BW 3.X ?
Hi Folks,
we have a dozen of InfoObjects referencing 0costcenter. These Objects are used in several InfoProviders and queries.
We also have more than 500 authorizations definitions for hierarchies, at the time being defined on 0costcenter.
This all works fine with RSSM compatibility for referencing Characteristics switched to on.
Now I came across the strong recommendation of SAP (Note 728 077) to switch off all compatibility modes in BW 3.X systems.
If I understood it correctly, well have to create an authorization object for each referencing InfoObject, which is not the point. Moreover well have to duplicate all our authorization definitions so that every node is defined for every referencing InfoObject. This will result in more than 5,000 authorization definitions! Needless to say, that were afraid of maintainability.
Were therefore tending to keep compatibility mode switched to on, which means to ignore SAPs recommendation.
Could you please share your experiences with compatibility mode in 3.X Systems?
Is there another way to obey the recommendation and not ending up in a bunch of authorization definitions?
How is this issue solved in BW 7.0?
Looking forward to your answers.
Best regards
RobertHi,
go to RSSM and give your infoprovider name and check the authrization objects which are present in the infoprovider ...it will have option ticked.
Basically authorizations are based on company code or sales org.
give that authorization object in the first option in RSSM and check on which infoobject it is based.
Also you can give your user id in one of the option in this transaction RSSM and then you can check for that authorization object do you have any values present for the included infoobjects or not.
You will not have those values entry here in the authorization object for those selections which you are giving during the report run.
Just change the vales here and give the desired value for which you are running the report.
Save it.

C2D MacBooks still overheating? owners please report!
As far as I know, the most important problem in MacBooks is overheating.
Definitely, I DON'T want to buy a notebook where I can fry eggs on.
I touched a MacBook in a local Apple store, and I found that it was unacceptably HOT, expecially in the upper-left side (where you can type "qwerty", for example...). Both the keyboard and the bottom side.
Even worse, that computer was idling...I don't want to imagine what happens when gaming or rendering...?!?!
I'd like buying a new C2D MacBook, but I'm REALLY scared of this temperatures.
Please new MacBook C2D owners, report your experience..!!
(I think I will go on loving my actual iBookG4...ALWAYS soooo cool...ALWAYS!)
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 933Mhz, 640Mb, 40Gb, bluetoothOverheating is not an issue anymore - for older macbooks as well as the new C2D's. You see - when the first macbooks came out - the fans would not be working at all until the CPU reached temperatures of over 70deg C. Then new firmware now has the fans spinning constantly at minimum 1500 rpm - they never stop - and increase as the CPU temperature rises. For this reason alone all macbooks are now prety much cool.
My MacBook, when idle - averages 40 - 45 deg C. Under heavy load it wont get over 70deg C. I can have it on my lap all day and it won't get HOT. Warm is all I get.
The issue with heat is long gone - RSS is a thing of the past as well - I think you more than safe to purchase now -
Please share your experiance on Oracle Developer
Hi,
I need to decide a suitable architecture for my new product for
3-tier implementation.
I would like to know anyone adopted developer 6.0 and having any
project/product on 3-tier application, what are all the problems
faced or likely to face in this approach?. Will be there any
performance problems?. Is there any reference site in India?
Please share your experiences.

nullWhen I started reading your list, my gut feeling was, why Chieftec? But probably budgetary considerations were the main reason. For the PSU I would prefer a Corsair AX series or Seasonic gold label one.
I would have a look at the GTX 660 Ti with 4 GB VRAM. The extra memory would help with AE and 4D and in PR can prevent the rather ungraceful reverting to software mode if VRAM is depleted. Of course this depends on image size, but if the extra cost fits in your budget, it may be worth it.
If it fits in the chassis, I would look at a CPU cooler like the Noctua NH-D14 because of the bigger diameter fans. So, better cooling and less noise. -
