Broadband novice needs help & advice

Hi,
I am new to this forum and looking for help.
I have a BT Home Hub (plugged into master bt socket) and connect to it via my laptop wirelessly. Our printer also connects in wirelessly.
We have slow broadband speeds generally (130mbps top).
Our phones (wireless) also hiss and crackles and are connected via an extension fitted via the main master socket in the removable lower plate i.e. its not a plug in.
I decided to look into this and over the past couple of weeks have read up but am now at wits end.
What I have done:
- bought an an iplate and installed it;
- bought an additional filter for the phone base station and so doubled up the filters;
- snipped all the orange 'bell wires' out of all internal extension junction boxes;
- replaced the filter where the Home Hub enters the master socket and now through the iplate;
- changed the Home Hub settings to different channels (now on 10);
- changed the Home Hub settings to b/g only and then b only without any change;
I have just got to the end of another day without change to either the broadband speed nor being able to use the phones and am turning to the forum for help.
I really am questioning what to do next. Can anyone help?

T500 overheating problems - Novice needs help

Like for some others in this forum, my Thinkpad T500 is overheating.
Here are my specs:
Model: T500 (Type: 2055)
Processor: P8600 (2.40GHz)
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
When I'm doing most regular activities (browsing,emailing, documents), laptop is fine. The unit gets warm underneath, but I've not had problems.
If I'm doing more intensive activities (watching local video,Netflix, or Skyping), laptop starts to heat up enough so that it's uncomfortable on my lap.
When I play games (Nothing crazy intensive: e.g. Minecraft, Civilization 4), and sometimes when I Skype, the unit gets extremely hot underneath and shuts off without warning.
The heat seems to be originating from the left-hand side of the laptop, near the back. Unless I'm mistaken, this is where the GPU is located. And this makes sense, since the overheating seems to be related to graphics-intensive activities.
So, my questions are:
1. How can I diagnose this problem further? What's a good utility to use to monitor heat of GPU and CPU? Anything else I can use ?
2. Are there any settings I can change on my laptop to prevent the automatic shut-downs and excessive heat?
3. I've seen some mention of people cleaning fans, replacing fans / cooling units, or adding thermal paste. Need some advice there too.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you!

Good day and welcome to the community.
If you've never had the machine open to blow out dust from around the fan/heatsink assembly, I'd recommend that first. If you download a copy of your Hardware Manual: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/43y6630_04.pdf , you'll see that by pulling the palmrest, keyboard and keyboard bezel (manual pages 88-90, 92-93 and 102-103, respectively), that you'll expose the top side of the assembly in the upper left. The top view image on page 107 is helpful. The CPU is beneath the end section of the wider heatpipe and the GPU is beneath the narrower.
While holding the blades of the fan stationary (important!), you can use canned air to blow all of the dust from the inside out through the exhaust vents. Once done, button everything up and see if things run cooler. If you're still overheating, you may need to clean off the old thermal compound and apply new, but try the de-dusting first.
Regarding temp monitoring, many folks like TPFanControl: http://www.staff.uni-marburg.de/~schmitzr/donate.html
Scroll about 2/3 down the page for the download link for v0.62 which is the latest. It can be run in monitor-only mode or can be configured to provide a level of control over your fan speed.
Please post back your results from the first step and we can go from there.
Regards.

Need Help/Advice with Photo Web Gallery coming from SQL Database

This is my first attempt at a database driven website. I assume what I am trying to accomplish should be fairly easy for more experienced but I am stuck at this point.
First, let me explain what I am trying to accomplish.
I want to create a thumbnail photo gallery displayed in columns and rows. I want to be able to hover over or click on the thumbnail image and have a lightbox script display the image over the thumb page. I am developing locally right now with intent to upload to the hosting site upon completion.
I am developing with ASP vbScript pages. I have an SQL database where the paths to the image thumbnails and pictures are stored in a table. On the gallery page, I have created a div tag to hold my image recordset. Within this div, I have inserted 3 absolute positioned divs to hold the pictureID, the pictureName and the image inserted as a datasource. I then inserted the information from the bindings panel of my recordset. Last, I used a horizontal looper extension from Tom Muck to get the thumbnails to display in columns and rows. Everything works up to this point just fine.
Now, I want to be able to hover or click on a thumnail image and have it displayed in a lightbox. I downloaded and used a javascript called Lightbox 2 which contains 3 javascript files and a css stylesheet. I inserted the files into the head tag like instructed to but could not get things to work properly. Here is where I need help. Currently, I am clicking on the thumbImage binding within the image Div and creating a link holder. I am then binding the larger pictureImage to it with the a.href selected in the bind to. I am then adding the command to call the lightbox javascript. Now, when I test my page, my thumbnail images do not show up (my alt text does in its place) but the links are in place and you can click on the alt text and it will return the correct larger image, but not in the lightbox, just in a new window with no styles.
Am I going about this correctly? Can you use lightbox scripts with data-driven galleries? Does anybody have any suggestions of what I may be doing wrong or missing? Are there better ways to go about accomplishing this?
Any help would be appreciated as this dynamic data thing has my head spinning. Although I know a database is needed to simplify the update and maintenance of the photos while allowing them to be searchable by keywords and tags also set up in the database.
Thanks

As I explained, I am developing locally a the moment. I will see about getting the databased moved up to the hosting server and then provide a link for an example.
In the mean time, can you or anyone else explain a way that you would go about displaying an image thumbnail photo gallery laid out in rows / columns, with any lighbox script that would overlay the larger image over the existing page instead of opening a new browser window?
I don't have to use the method I tried to describe.
In all of the lightbox examples I have looked at thus far, they give instructions on how to append that javascript to a single static image or a group of static images, not images from a datasource. That is where I am getting confused.
Don't know if this will help or not but please see code below:
Javascript and CSS positioned in head tag

<link href="CSS/lightbox.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="Scripts/protype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Scripts/scriptaculous.js?load=effects,builder" type="text/javascript"></script>

FCP Novice needs help with video quality and FCP 5!!

Hi,
I have a real problme that I cannot seem to fix. I think its because I am doing something really wrong!
I have a Sony HC42E MiniDV Camcorder which by default records video in full widescreen. I recorded several tapes this way and have now begun trying to edit them in FCP 5.04 (Tiger 10.4.6). Whenever I log and capture my clips they appear to be fuzzzy and unclear on the Mac monitor whilst being totally crisp and sharp on the camcorder viewfinder. I tried capturing using the DV PAL 48Khz Anamorphic Preset which keeps everything the right size (the final output needs to be true widescreen and not with black bars added) but the resulting video on screen is blurry and bitty. I then tried capturing using the DV PAL 720 x 576 normal preset and the video is a little clearer on the screen (for both presets I have chosen lower field dominance) but when I play back it plays back in widescreen on the mac canvas window but at 4:3 on the camera's viewfinder.
I then assumed that maybe this is just becuase the mac screen (CRT by the way) doesn't use fields. So I exported the sequence as a QT movie using DV PAL 16:9 and used quicktime (OS9 Classic - my compressor has never worked because of the dreaded "unable to connect to baackground process" problem which I've never managed to correct) to convert it to MPEG2. When I import this as an asset into DVD Studio pro 4 and set the track size to 16:9 it comes through at the right aspect ratio. However it looks blurry on screen. Thinking that this will be fine on a TV I burned the disc - inserted it into my DVD player (a good one!) and watched it on my new 32" widescreen TV (a good one!) and the picture qualitty is poor. Its so much blurrier and bittier than the original footage looks when played through the camcorder's viewfinder!
The final footaage looks like an old VHS recording that's a year or two old!
Does anyone know how I can capture my footage in FCP with the maximum quality, edit it without quality loss and the export it for DVD again without such significant quality loss whilst all the time keeping it at proper 16:9 widescreen?
Is there some presets I should be working to?
I'm tearing my hair out! Help!

Hi Guys,
thanx for your replies.
here's the latest:
Brian, I followed your instructions and the DVD burned successfully. However the video quality of the dvd when viewed on my TV ('ve tried on all 3 of my tvs now) is still a lot poorer than the quicktime movie that was imported into DVDSP4. When I play the original QT Movie on my Mac CRT monitor it looks a little blurry and grainy because I guess its non interlaced however when viewed on an external Video monitor it looks great - very sharp.
When I view the burned DVD on my television the picture quality looks like the non interlaced version of the original QT Movie that appeared on my Mac CRT and not the sharp interlaced (lower field) version that appeared on my external video monitor.
Its almost like taking a sharp jpeg into Photoshop and applying a gaussian blur of about 0.3 followed by jepg compression compressing it down to 5% quality!
I'm totally mystified. Can the conversion to Mpeg2 be removing all interlacing so that you get the less sharp computer monitor look? I just want the video on my final DVDs to be as good as the original source footage! I appreciate that along the way there might be loss of some quality but surely not that much?
Does this make sense to you guys or am I still doing something very wrong?
Robert: I have tried setting all manner of drives including a fresh external firewire HD with nothing on it (clean out of the box) but it doesn't seem to help.
Brian: I tried the no network suggestion a few months back but I'm not sure if I got it right. At the moment I have broadband through an external speedtouch usb modem and am also connected (occasionally although not for the last 3 months) via a crossover cable to my PCs ethernet card. When I last tried the No Network solution I had immense trouble getting my internet to work again! Can you please help me by directing me to the best ay to do this while protecting my internet settings?
any more help guys would be greatfully appreciated.

Slow speed, novice needs help

My sister's broadband line has suddenly changed from a speed able to view videos such as BBC's iPlayer to a speed where no video clip can be played. Using the BT speedcheck facility download speed is said to be 4998kbps , DSL connection rates are 2048kbps Downstream and 448kgps Upstream. IP profile is set at 1750kbps. She is being told by her ISP (Plusnet) that these speeds are too slow and caused by the line being a long distance from the exchange. However, her neighbours computers are working fine (using other ISPs ). PLusNet are saying it is BT's line at fault but I am told that even if we change to BT as the ISP the fault will still exist. Can anyone give me some advice about what is the best way to get the line up to a usable speed. We are using wirless with a router supplied by PlusNet (the settings have been checked by Plusnet). Our frustration is that the system worked ok up until a few weeks ago and as far as my sister is concerned she has not changed anything ! Being non-techies we are finding the situation a bit difficult !

I understand Brian....
But the point I'm trying to make here is that regardless of who the ISP is....the common denominator is the line.
Now if you go through the help topics and issues in the thread to alleviate the line from induced noise...
then the broadband performance will increase.
Whether it's from BT or Plusnet... it's line adaptive, and that means you get the best speed and throughput according to a lines' condition.. and the biggest killer of broadband is induced line noise.
That was why I recommended you read my post in the thread ....
Have another look ... and start to investigate, as others have, and succeeded.

Complete novice needs help

Hi folks
I hope you can indulge me. I am a mature student studying with the Open University in the UK. In order to complete my degree I have to produce a (small) project (doesn't have to have full functionality) based on a Network application. I am limited to using Java and to some extent the software provided for me, which in this case is JBuilder3.5 (yes I know it's old!). I can, within reason download further software providing my tutor is ok with it but here's the rub I have no idea what I actually need. There is so much to read through and I am feeling a bit thick because I cannot pin anything down.
This is where I would appreciate any help from you experts. My project subject is a browser which can interpret web pages and then configure them to be displayed in a fromat that is prefered by the user not the author. I can build the GUI but I am stuck when it comes to building the functionality behind it. ie what packages do I need to download that can recognise XML/HTML tags in order to rearrange the display? Am I even on the right track? Is it actaully possible?
Because the project is only worked over a small period I don't need full functionality but have elected to deal with input/output fields, text placemnt/display/font (infromationl), graphic placement/deletion. I may also be alowed to update my version of Jbuilder.
I would be so grateful if somebody could at least point me in the right direction. I need to add here that I feel so stupid that I need replies in very plain english :o)
Wanda

Hi ddossot
Saw your note about using a proper IDE unfortunately I am obliged to use the one provided by my UNI. Reason being the markers of my project may not be up to date with other IDE's. Though I may be allowed to use a newer version of JBuilder. I am waiting to hear if I have permission to do so.
Here's another thick question. from what I remember, when studying Java last year, it has a number of libraries that can be imported to a project. When I download the HTML and XML stuff are they just added to the libraries already in place and if so how is it done.
ps hope they also have tutorials with them for the coding :o(
One last question; am I in the right forum for this sort of query or is there a novice one for thicko's like me? :o)

Need help / Advice ; manage daily millions of records;;plz help me:)

Hi all,
I've only 2 years of experience in Oracle DBA. I need advice from Experts:)
To begin, the company I work for, decide to daily save in our Oracle database about 40 millions of records in our only table (User tables). These records should be daily imported from csv or xml feeds into one table.
This 's a project that need :
- Study the performance
- Study What is required in terms of hardware
As a leader in the market, Oracle 's the only DBMS that could support this size of data, but what's the limit of Oracle in this case? can Oracle support and manage perfectly daily 40 millions of records and for many years, ie We need all data of this table, we can't consider after a period that we don't need history: we need to save all data and without purge the history and this for many years i suppose!!! you can imagine 40 daily millions of records and for many years!!!
Then we need to consolidate from this table different views (or maybe materalized view) for each department and business inside the company, one other project that need study!
My questions 're :Using Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0:
1-Can Oracle support and perfectly manage daily 40 millions of records and for many years?
2-Study the performance ; which solutions, technics could I use to improve the performance of :
- Daily Loading 40 millions of records from csv or xml file/files?
- Daily Consolidate / managing different views/ materalized view from this big table?
3- What is required in terms of hardware? features / Technologies( maybe clusters...)
Hope that experts help me and advice me! thank you very much for your atention :)

1-Can Oracle support and perfectly manage daily 40 millions of records and for many years?Yes
2-Study the performance ; which solutions, technics could I use to improve >>>the performance of :Send me your email, and I can send you a Performance tuning metodology pdf.
You can see my email on my profile.
Daily Loading 40 millions of records from csv or xml file/files?DIrect Load
- Daily Consolidate / managing different views/ materalized view from this big table?You can use table partitions, one partition for each day.

Network Expansion - Novice Needs Help

I would appreciate some guidance with a change I need to make to my wireless network. What I currently have is working fine, but I'm pretty much a novice at this.
My current network consists of two computers. Computer A is a desktop connected to a WRT54G2 wireless router via patchcord. This is my primary computer, used to create the network using the CD that came with the router. Computer B is a laptop that connects to the the network with a WPC54G wireless notebook adaptor. Both computers run Windows XP, and the network is working well. The network uses WEP security.
I am ready to add Computer C to the network. Computer C is a desktop and will become my primary computer. Computer C is also running Win XP. I want to connect it via patchcord to the WRT54G2 router, replacing computer A. I have purchased a WUSB54GC USB adaptor to connect computer A to the wireless network.
I'm not sure where to begin. Do I need to first uninstall any Linksys software from both computers A & B, in order to start all over? Can I just unplug computer A from the router, plug in computer C, and keep going? Any suggestions on how to approach this change without too much gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is no need to to uninstall the software of router from any computer.
You need to connect the computer C to router with a chord and on Computer A connect the adapter and install the set-up disk for it.

Broadband upgrade, need help with speed please

Hi all,
I recently upgraded from a very old broadband package with an old router from the 1960's to the 'upto 20meg' service, with the bloke on the phone advising we should receive about 17meg as we are close to the exchange (Worcester Park, Surrey). So when the new kit arrived the speed jumped from 2megs to about 4ish and it's now settled on about 5 after 10 days.
I've posted the stats below as i'm after some advice really because I can't make sense of it. Am I missing something here or should I be getting faster speeds?
Cheers

Hi welcometo the forum
You appear to have a stable connection however your connection speed is low for your line attenuation are you connected to the master socket ? Or an extension if you can connect to the test socket Located at the rear of the removable front plate of the master socket and recheck the hub stats and speedtest this wil eliminate any faults with your internal wiring also are you connecting the hub to your pc by wireless or ethernet cable if wireless could you try connecting by cable and again post the speed test results this will eliminate any speed losses due to wireless interference Please try these first then we can advise further

Need help/advice with tic tac toe game

Hello all. I am working on a tic tac toe game. I was able to program the first 4 moves fine, but ame having trouble with moves 5 and 6 for reasons that are unknown to me. Everything complies fine, its just that the move is displayed int the wrong space (B1) instead of in B2 or B3. Also the move that is supposed to be in A1 disapppears when B2 or B3 is clicked. Also, I need advice as to how to keep the prior moves from being over written.
At this point I ahve gone over the code on-screen, printed it out, and stared at my drawings... and I'm not having any luck. I'm sure its a small, stupid thing that I'm missing, that anyone else would easily catch. Once again, thx for all your help.

writing a tic-tac-toe is harder than it sounds.. i wrote one last year in my computer science class.. i have it on my website, if you want to look at code. i wrote it in c++, but the logic is all that matters :)
btw-last year, i wasnt too good of an OOP programmer, so the program is procedurely written. heres the url:
http://www.angelfire.com/blues/smb
also, to tell if a box is already taken, you can just add an if statement: if ( gameBoard[selX][selY] == null ) //not taken, fill box:many people resort to a boolean matrix of the same idea, but with booleans that store which boxes are taken. i prefer the way above, saves code, memory, and makes it more understandable.
hope it helps.

Need help & advice RE transferring from a hard drive to a new imac.

Hello, firstly I apologize if I am setting up this question in the incorrect location, I am technology illiterate even as far as forums. Recently my 2007 Imac stopped working, repair people removed the hard drive (I believe) from it for me as it was too expensive to fix the machine. My big worry now is hopefully files from my old computer can be transferred to a new Imac? Also if so, is it something I can be walked through, as there aren't really a lot of reliable tech repair businesses in my local area? Is there also anything I should be mindful of when purchasing a new computer? My old system was 20"Mac, 2.0GHz, 1GB, 250GB capacity, I am assuming as long as my new system has better specs a transfer would work, but I really have no clue? Is there any special equipment I would have to buy, should I be aiming to get a new computer with certain specs? (get a system with 320 GB capacity, as opposed to 250GB for example) Sorry for all the questions, more so if they should be obvious, any help much appreciated!

Hello and thank you kindly for taking the time to offer assistence. I believe its intel based, it is this model as linked to here.
http://everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-2-duo-2.0-20-inch-aluminu m-specs.html
Please bare with me so I can see if I have this right. Migration Assistent is an application or feature on the Imac I will be getting (will be a newer model than the one I posted above) - my newer computer would be considered the host and my older computer the target? Here is a bit I get a bit unsure. When the last repairmen gave me back my computer, they gave it back with the hard drive seperated - is that a factor or something worth mentioning? I am assuming that I need a wire of some sort or can a transfer be done wirelessly? I have tried figuring all this out and seen firewire cables mentioned a bit, but err I can't even find any sockets on the hard drive given to me by the repairmen whick makes me wonder if I am even looking for the right kind of info. Oh and I ~ to be continued ~

Novice needs help: inconsistent recording volume ("flutter")?

Hello All,
I'm new to Audition and have been struggling with my recording quality: I'm on a newer dual core Toshiba Qosimio multimedia laptop running Win 7 (64bit) and using a standard desk mic. I read the faq and help files on recording but still remain baffled about this. I'd greatly appreciate some help:
When recording music in Audition (for example: one strum of a guitar chord), I get a kind of fluttering: I don't hear the whole continous chord's sound. There are subtle 'dropouts' of the sound (like it has inconsistent volume). Now, I'm new at this so I'm probably not using the correct terminology..so I posted a wav file to let you hear:
http://home.comcast.net/~samiri/director/trash/InconsistentAudio1.wav
When using this same mic in my older PIV laptop running Win XP, the record quality is fine. Also, when I downloaded Audacity (free audio program) I think I hear the same fluttering..so maybe there is some way I need to set the recording (input) preferences on this machine.
Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

Ah, I had a recent laptop with Connexant Smart Audio, but recently replaced it.
There is a separate Smart Audio Control Panel that I think is accessible elswhere from the Windows Control Panel. I found it almost totally incomprehensible, but seem to remember that there was a way of switching between two options, one simpler than the other.
I would also go into the advanced playback settings to see if there are "enhancements" there. Some of these may affect recording.
As I said before, the only approach with all of this is to find all the various audio contol panels, switch off any effects or enhancements and set all the default sample rates for record and playback to the rate you will be using. Note that the various audio control panels may or may not stay in sync, so it's as well to go round the loop(s) a few times. Do check there is nothing hidden in the "enhancements" area by making sure you scroll down all the options if there are more than just one or two. Note that the Windows audio Control Panel has to be closed and re-opened before you can trust what it says.
None of this is the fault of Audition, which just records what is fed to it. It is the fault of Microsoft that there is a broken sample rate converter in Windows 7 and whoever designed the Connexant audio gui does need to be re-educated, I think.
It would, of course, be very sensible to seek out an external decent usb or similar audio interface.

Question about Dynamic Overclocking - Need help/advice

Hello,
I recently upgraded to version 3.9 bios on my MB (K8N SLI paltinum).
I had DOT enabled before the upgrade, on 9% extra. this worked ok. as soon as a program required heavy CPU, DOT kicked in and give me a 9% boost. and it also cooled off, back to normal operations when the CPU was idle again.
now, since the upgrade to 3.9, the DOT always stays at 9%? when booting up, when idling, always...? Is there a setting that I missed? or is it a bug in 3.9?
--> after the upgraded I loaded the optimized defaults.
thanx for any help.
S.

hi guys,
thnx all for the updates. I'm currently using DOT on 9%. It runs rock stable. IIf I set it on 11%, no problems.
C&Q is off, always was.
The problem with DOT is, that it doesn't do what it should do. (in 3.9 bios). nl, when the CPU runs on 0% load, no Over-clocking is need.
Any other settings that I should check?
Do I need to turn on Q&C?
thnx!

Novice needs help with multi-cam

Hi, I've got 3 cameras and a seperate audio track synched in my timeline. (CC Premiere Pro 6 on a PC with - unfortunately, Windows 8) The cameras didn't all start at the same time but no problem the clips are where they need to be now. I've made several edits getting rid of stuff I don't need, and I've added a title, end note, and a few stills. All the tutorials I've watched deal with starting clips at the beginning but I can't seem to find one that shows what to do with a bunch of things already in the timeline where they need to be. Here's a screen shot if that helps to explain what I've done so far.I've tried nesting the clips and dragging that into the source panel, but no luck. Obviously, I'm missing something here (this is my very first project) hope someone can help.

Yes, what Jim said...
or if you really want to leave all your little stills and titles there and not have to add them later then alt+select all the video clips only and right click>nest. You can select all the audio clips too but I usually leave them there so I can see them all individually (personal preference) and I never have audio follow video in my edits so it's not necessary. Then right click>Multicam>Enable and proceed with #3 from Jim's list. I actually prefer to ignore the wrench and add that one touch little multicam toggle icon to the program monitor which it appears you've already done so you just need to select the far right icon on the bottom of your program window next to the little camera icon. That's the multicam toggle. Multicam cutting now takes place in the Program Window instead of the Source Window like it was in CS6. Oh also, the little "tweaks" that Jim mentioned can be easily done with the Rolling Edit Tool (Shortcut: N) You'll see. Good luck!

PSE7, Novice needs help w/background

I would like to take Grandpa's hairy knee out of our new granddaughter's face. I've tried selecting her image and used a feather of 2 pixels. I then used a blank background with different effects, clouds, etc. It's not working because it is too stark and not natural looking. Is there a way I can make it look as though she is resting her head on a soft blanket? If so, PLEASE give me details as to how to obtain that result. I am trying to learn and need specifics.
I'd also like to learn how to "soften" her image and change it to B/W....so much to learn, so little time. Thanks!!

Hi Mark, here come the questions, so elementary it's embarrassing. I found an image of a blanket from a picture I took earlier:
I assume I bring this image into PSE and make a selection with the selection brush.
2) You then said to "copy this selection to the clipboard". What is the clipboard, and how do I copy it there? I have four books on PSE and couldn't find the "clipboard"
3) Next, open my picture and paste the blanket from the clipboard, creating a new layer. Again, can you give me the specifics?
I know I can use your image, but I really want to learn how to do this by myself. And, i want the image in high resolution. Your help is appreciated!
