Adding programs to mini notebook NB505-N508?

This is a novice question, but I was hoping someone could confirm.
Can this mini notebook run Quicken? I have an external CD-ROM drive for installation, and the specifications for this computer seem to match what is required from Quicken.
My concern is that this computer seems to be for web surfing and such. I just wanted to confirm it could also run software programs. Quicken is the only program I need to run, and the only thing I will use this computer for.
Thanks in advance!

mini notebook NB505-N508BL - the blue one
Can this mini notebook run Quicken?
Sure, Michelle. You'll find it can use most any programs that are compatible with Windows 7.
If it's a little slow, you can double the memory (from 1 to 2 GB).

NB505-N508BL

Hi
Does anybody know if this computer has the internal reset system (power-up and pressing 0 simultaneously)? I tried it and doesn't work, yet there is a 100 MB partition on the computer....
Is there anywhere I can download the USB re-initialising software, or is purchasing it from toshiba the only option? (I now live in Brazil and getting the key shipped here is not an option by Toshiba!
thanks a lot!!

How to connect notebook NB505-N500BL to HDTV?

Anyone know that if the Video card of notebook NB505 can support digital signal output through VGA port function? I want to connect it to my HDTV. Since no HDMI port for NB505, so I bought a VGA TO HDMI cable to connect them. But it doesn't work. Anyone can help? Thanks.

No, that won't work... it connects VGA to DVI. There is no VGA connector on the iPad.

2 iPhones in my house, both on the same Apple ID. Just got iPad mini, want to use iMessage with my phone number, but iPad only picks up other more recently added number (not mine) when I go to message settings. Is there a way to default to other number?

Hi guys, so we have 2 iPhones in my house, both on the same Apple ID so that my mum and I can share everything. I have just got an iPad mini, and would like to use iMessage on it with my phone number, but the iPad only picks up other more recently added number (not mine, my mums) when I go to message settings. Is there a way to make the iPad default to other number?

Can't Install Photoshop on NB505-N508

Hello. When I try to install Photoshop CS5 on my NB505-N508 (yeah, I know it's too small, but I just want to try it ), the installation hangs and can't be cancelled. I can't kill the process either, so I have to force a shutdown, and it hangs on the shutdown as well, so I have to power off. Everything seems fine when it boots again.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Your graphics card might not work or it also the requirements of the photoshop must meet the requirements of your computer.

Adding programs to front row

Hi all, sorry if this isn't the right place for this question, but I was wondering if there was any way of adding programs to front row? What I really want to do is open the dashboard from my remote control so I can check for emails and the weather from the comfort of my bed!!!

Hi, Iain.
I suspect Sijmons meant to refer you to the Keyspan RF Remote For Front Row.
According to this tip on Mac OS X Hints, one can assign AppleScripts to the programmable buttons on the Keyspan RF Remote for Front Row.
This Mac OS X Hints tip has a simple AppleScript for invoking Dashboard, as well as some interesting variants.
Good luck!

Q - How to program the min/max values of an intensity graph

Hi LabViewers,
I'm looking for a way to program the min/max Z values of an intensity
graph for image display properly, but unable to figure it out so far.
Any idea?
Chengye

Right click the graph's control on the block diagram and create a property node. Right click the node and Change all to Write. RIght click the node again and select from Properties either the combined ZScale->Range->All elements -or- you can individually define 2 property nodes for Max and Min (also under Zscale->Range).

Ipad / mini notebook

Hi all,
I recently came across the coffee corner forum and find it interesting, so started going through the discussions whenever i find time at my coffee break.
I just wanted to know your openion about what I have specified in the subject line.
As many of you might travel becasue of your work or vacation, what do you think the better option to watch films / surfing internet while travelling ? it should be like easy to carry, so i find two possibilities one is Ipad, other one is sleek, tiny notebook (11 inches i guess)
any inputs?
Have a nice coffee day

As a person who grew up with black and white TV received via rabbit ear antennas when contrasting them to today's large format HDTVs, I can tell you there is no comparison. In fact, with my larger sets (36 inch and 55 inch), I find it almost annoying to watch the non-HDTV channels as the resolution is so bad. You don't notice it as much on the smaller sets like 22 inches or smaller, but the image is quite blurry on the larger sets. Luckily, Verizon Fios has lots of HD versions of the major network channels and subscription channels.
As to the original question, I would go with the mini notebook. I like the size, have no problem with the keyboard - in fact I like it better as the keys are not as far recessed as on full size ones with touchpads, and I can read the screen provided I have my old man bifocals on. When my wife's Dell died (don't get me started on that), I tried to talk her in to getting one but she complained about the screen size. We tried out several. I liked the little Sony Vaio best (even came in pink which I tried to point out to her as an advantage).
The ipad is getting a lot of publicity (in SAP as well) but seems mostly useful for people who want to hold on to a device while making a presentation. They aren't tied to a podium with a laptop and can read and respond to feedback channels set up live during the presentation. That is likely not to be as easy even with a mini notebook.
It really depends on what you need to do. I don't do live presenations and found the Ipad sort of annoying in terms of having to switch around the keyboard and display. I have a Mac Powerbook and found it to be a lot more intuitive in terms of operation than the Ipad. I suppose I could force myself to get used to the Ipad if someone was to give me one as a present

HATE MINI-NOTEBOOK 505

cursor jumps all over the place, ruins what i've typed already by jumping up/down/sideways, page moves up/down all over page and is chaotic to use; get a horizontal bar on curson which i can't use, don't know what it's supposed to do - screen space so small that i can't get down to bottom of some screens to hit OK button to continue - got it for college classes - useless because screen moves all over the place - does Toshiba even have a tutorial on how to work this GD thing???

I can definitely understand your frustration, especially when moving from a regular keyboard and mouse to this tiny "NetBook". I just got mine two days ago and am still getting used to the keyboard, but I think it will become second nature after using it for another month or two. Regarding your cursor jumping around everywhere it could be that you are inadvertently touching the pad with the bottom or the palms of your hands. But this can easily be fixed. The main issue I was struggling with at first was the fact that the "scroll area" space on the touchpad, IMHO (of course!) was really more than twice the size on both the bottom and right side of the pad then I would prefer it to be.
The two issues mentioned above can both be resolved through the touchpad software that is pre-installed on the laptop, or at least it was on my 505. There are several different ways to access the settings for the touchpad but this method will work for the majority of users, since we all like to customize our systems. Open control panel, click to sort by large or small icon, I use small, open mouse. Now you are under the settings page for your mouse (touchpad), in order to fully control all of the touchpad settings you must select the last tab with the red icon on it. For some users it may not be the last tab so just find the tab with the red icon and the tab is labeled "Device Settings". Once at this tab, make sure the Synaptics option is selected in the first box, then click "Settings".
This takes you to the Synaptics settings menu where you can change almost every aspect of your touchpad. I just got my NB505 so my drivers are most likely current, if you are running an older system you might want to consider upgrading the drivers since new features are added by the manufacturer all of the time. The primary settings that helped me were 1. reducing the size of the area on the bottom and right side of the touchpad that is dedicated to the scrolling function rather than navigating the cursor. I just looked and the setting is referred to as the "scrolling region".
Another common problem is accidentally touching the touchpad with the palms or other part of the hand while using the keyboard. To be on the safe side I lowered the sensitivity by one setting. I actually did this by moving the slider over to the right by one mark. The setting is labeled Palm Check under Pointing-->Sensitivity. I would recommend going to each setting, get an understanding of exactly what it does either by reading the description or watching the video, then make adjustments as necessary. Depending on how familiar you are with adjusting a trackpad you might want to only make one or two adjustments at a time and then test. In addition you might want to gradually increase/decrease the setting rather than making major changes since a slight change may be all that you need. Do not worry about breaking anything, you can always click the "default" button which will reset everything back to the default settings. Good luck and I hope this helps even one person, because this laptop is extremely functional once you get it customized to suit your own style of use. Good luck to everyone struggling with what would appear to be a pointer with a mind of its own, even though computers only do what they are asked to do by the user or programmed to do by the developer.
If you are still having problems or are unable to find or properly tweak these settings, please reply to this thread so that myself or someone else can assist further. Unless there is some faulty hardware or you caught a crazy virus, there is almost a 100% chance that changing a setting or two will resolve the issue. Some screenshots would be helpful but I don't have the time to get them now but if you need them just let me know and I will come back and add some.

HP mini notebook

I have a HP mini with windows 7. It suddenly came on screen with a message " windows error recovery' have tried everything. HELP!!! This is my daughter notebook that she got for Christmas and she really loves it!!

Hi,
Shut down the notebook. Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu. Select the Bios option ( usually f10 ) and under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory. Post back with the details of any error messages.
Note: If the option to run these tests is not available in the Bios Menu, use the f2 diagnostic menu instead.
Can you also post back with the full Model No. and Product No. of your notebook - see Here for a guide on locating this information.

DP-K
