Dell's business pract

i don't knowif you guys knew this.... but aparently a lot of the parts that dell include in their so called high end PC isn't so high end at all. first of all... they claim their machines are equipped with certain hardware, onl if you look deep into it,, it's really a water downed version of what they advertised. i recently bought a X-fi extreme music. it's an OEM from dell.only found out after i purchased that there're features missing from what was advertised as a X-fi extreme music. the dolby es and DTS es decoding features are missing, and as far as i can tell.. there're also other features missing too. i mean come'on... this is just low. it was advertised as an X-fi Extreme Music... there's no reason why i should expect less when i get it. it wasn't untill i went over to the Dell user forum... i saw the mass complains from angry gamers who report that the so called high end PCs they bought wasn't able to do the job. i serously think Dell should rethink their business model and i strongly encourage third party manufactures such as Creative?to be very careful when it comes to doing business?like this. because after all... it not only makes Dell look bad,?but it makes you look bad too. because the next time around.... a user will certainly think twice about buying that brand again. ?Message Edited by howzz854 on 07-8-20072:05 PM

  • Vista / Flash performance problem

    I have a well-patched / McAfee / Firewall Dell / Vista
    Business laptop. 2Gb, plenty of horsepower. I have uninstalled
    Flash, rebooted, reinstalled flash WIN 9,0,124,0, but I seem to
    have a performance problem that other Vista workstations do not
    have.
    I have a flash application for quiz questions. Hovering the
    mouse over the choices should highlight the choices instantly. On
    my workstation, it takes about 2 seconds for the hover effect to
    appear. On my other Windows XP and Vista desktops, it's an
    immediate effect.
    Any suggestions as to where the problem might be?

    Luis,
    Whenever I hear someone mention the words 'it takes 5 minutes', my mind always seems to think about DNS problems (since 300 seconds is a typical timeout for DNS related problems).
    Would you mind having a look at the HTML sourcecode for your application and locating the part where the Flash chart is specified, it will look something like -
    <param name="movie" value="/i/flashchart/2DColumn.swf?XMLFile=http://yourserver/pls/apex/apex_util.flash?p=1299:1:1265142206329375:FLOW_FLASH_CHART_R1760625855571144_en-us">

    <param name="allowNetworking" value="all">
    <param name="scale" value="noscale">
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
    <param name="FlashVars" value="waiting=Loading data. Please wait.&loading=Loading data...">Take a look at the URL that is used to retrieve the data for the Flash chart (the ?XMLFile parameter in my example).
    Does the URL in your page use the same domain name as the URL you're using to access your application via the browser, or are they different?
    I could be barking up the wrong tree entirely here, but it's one of those 'nagging thoughts' I often have ;)

    Hi, if you look on page 5 you will see pretty much the questions you asked & the replies. In addition you will get answers from our tekky savvy mac users.
    Mac's have a learning curve, not steep but definately there, the nuances of the OS are easily learnable just takes a little time. I am a professional photographer and switched to macs 2 years ago, no regrets. Buy Applecare, it's the best deal since sliced bread..I also keep my PC (Prostar) updated and ready to use as back-up...L

  • IPod could not be identified properly

    Please help. I'm running Windows XP Pro X64. I just got my new 5th Gen Ipod Nano, and updated to itunes 9.0.
    Every time I plug the ipod in I get the following error:
    "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again."
    I've uninstalled itunes and reinstalled, still same error. Note: the ipod does not show up as a USB drive, until the following:
    1) I get the above error
    2) I restart the ipod service
    3) Unplug and replug in the ipod
    4) Now the ipod shows up as a USB drive
    I've also tried:
    1) changing the drive letter of the nano (saw it in a post somewhere else)
    2) restarting
    3) changing USB ports.
    4) Reset the ipod, hold 'menu' and the center button
    5) Reset the ipod using itunes on the mac mini
    I realize itunes has some compatibility issues with X64, and I've been successfully using my 1st ipod mini for a few years, yes even on x64. I sync it almost everyday (update my podcasts). This is incredibly frustrating. My mini still syncs just fine even with itunes 9.0 on x64.
    I have successfully sync the new ipod nano on a mac mini using the same USB cord.

    It's possible to install MacDrive 7, XPlay 3 or higher on the Vista o/s, & use their later USB driver to see the iPod nano in disk mode.
    Things to check are any USB device not working properly from Control Panel, devices; uninstall these and any network adapter devices prior to connecting the iPod.
    On the DELL E6400 & Business Vista, installing iTunes 9 to recognize the iPod nano 5th Gen, kept on bringing up the message 'could not be identified properly'. Strangely, now I cannot sync any Music from Media Player to the iPod or have songs recognized on it from a straight Explorer file copy in the iPod's disk mode! I have had to de-install iTunes, and lost my library of 2 years worth of music.
    This is quite poor s/ware compatibility. I have to say; don't buy the E6400 either!!

    oh and if you use a creative cloud version of Lightroom it could also be that the logon to the cloud is messed up. Logging out and logging back in from preferences in the creative cloud app will fix that. Due to the release of Lightroom CC it appears that adobe's servers have been overwhelmed a bit And many people have strange problems that are solved by logging out and back in.

  • Projector works on Dell Venue Pro 11 tablet?

    Hi there
    I am trying to run a director 11.5 windows projector (made on a mac) on Dell Venue 11 Pro tablet (win 8.1/1920x1080/baytrail CPU) and am having problems with "alignment" on the screen. The 1920x1080 movie seems to be loading but fills only about 60% of the screen. You can see the desktop through the other 40%. It appears that the movie (at normal size) has been shifted up by 250 pixels and to the left by 400 pixels and is playing. So you are seeing the desktop through lower "SW" portion of the screen.
    This particular movie ran fine on a microsoft surface pro tablet a few months ago (no access to that projector file, I republsihed). Unfortuntately I do not have access to that surface tablet anymore. I am wondering if there is a problem with the integrated graphics hardware and/or the processor in the dell. The venue has the new baytrail processor and integrated intel graphics. The surface pro has an i5 processor.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    AK

    Made some other windows projectors (on the mac) with the following results and run on the dell venue tablet.
    (1) 1600x900 - similar problem with only part of screen showing
    (2) 1280x720 - projector seems to be working and displaying properly. The projector image is scaled to fill the full 1920 screen width.
    I am beginning to think that there is a problem with the intel integrated graphics hardware. I should add that the problem I am having also occured a few months ago when I tested a similar projector with a acer iconia w3 tablet (8 inch screen/windows 8.0/1280x800/atom Z2760 CPU/intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD hardware).
    I hope that problem has a solution, hopefully coming as a director 11.6 upgrade and director 12.1 upgrade. I think this combination of cpu and graphics hardware is a going to do pretty good business.

  • How I tried fix my partitions and restore a Dell Diagnostic Partition.

    UPDATED: 2 September 2012
    UPDATE: Now that I reflect back on the incidence, I realize that the Dell Utility partition had lost its ability to boot long before I had messed up my partition table. But I realized it only when I was testing all my partitions after fixing the partition table. But as I have already written this long post, lets just keep it here for future reference of anyone else stumbling across a similar problem. Read on to know about my experience.
    RECOMMENDATION: I do not recommend trying out all the steps below as they did not completely solve the problem for me. If you need the Diagnostic Utility, download the update package from Dell's support website for your model. This package can be used to create a boot-able USB drive and/or CD/DVD. These work fine and are pretty fast also.
    Something strange happened to me and I am now reporting my experience in trying to solve it (somewhat unsuccessfully!!)
    First of all, my setup is: Dell Studio 1555 laptop. I dual boot Windows 7 and Archlinux. So here's how it went:
    After using the partitioning tool Gparted under Archlinux to resize a partition, I found a problem had occurred. The Partition was NTFS formatted and all of my data files were stored on it. The partition worked fine under Archlinux as I was able to access my files fine under it. But in Windows, although the partition was listed under Windows explorer, it wanted to format it!! When I tried to access the partition it gave an error that it was not formatted (
    The drive is not formatted, do you want to format it now?
    ). Of course, that was not right and Gparted had messed something up. I fixed that using Testdisk under Archlinux (See the Details). So now the partition problem under windows was fixed. But now another problem cropped up under Archlinux. When I booted into Archlinux and started Gparted to confirm everything was fine I saw something strange in Gparted. The whole space on my hard disk was marked as "unallocated" under Gparted. Windows and Archlinux could "see" the partitions. By this I mean that I was able to boot fine under both my OSes. And I could access all my files under all my partitions. But somehow Gparted was not able to "see" them. Gparted was reporting my whole disk to be marked as unallocated. After that I researched a lot and lots of stuff happened experimenting to fix the problem. I used a lot of utilities. But actually only one fixed the problem-fixparts from the gptfdisk package. But it seemed like a lot of work trying to get the problem fixed (See the Details).
    Now we get to the point in discussion. I was able to get my partitions back under Gparted. But I lost the Dell Diagnostics Utility partition's ability to boot up. [Actually, now that I reflect back on the incidence, I realize that the Dell Utility partition had lost its ability to boot long before I had messed up my partition table. But I realized it only when I was testing all my partition after fixing the partition table. But more on this later.] It gave an error that the partition was not found.
    So, in short: After all this restoring partitions' visibility under Gparted, I realized that the Dell Utility partition on my Studio 1555 was not booting up. To explain this, it means that when I press F-12 when starting the laptop and select Diagnostics from the menu to run the Diagnostic Utility and after running the Pre-boot System Assesment tests when I consented to boot the Diagnostic Utility partition, it gave me the error that the partition was not found. When I tried to run the "Dell 32 Bit Diagnostics (Graphical User Interface version)" update package under Windows, it resulted in a similar error: Partition not found.
    For some background on what makes the Dell Utility partition so special, please read this thread and the third post on this thread.
    WARNING: You and only you are responsible for your data. Please make a backup before performing any of the partitioning steps below.
    NOTE: Please read the entire post before actually performing the steps.
    So, to try and fix this I did the following:
    Boot into Windows 7.
    Open Disk Management under the Computer Management console (To open the Computer Management console, right click on Computer in the Start menu and select Manage).
    Reformat the Dell Diagnostic Utility partition as FAT(not FAT32). This is the first partition on the drive (marked as Healthy (OEM Partition) under the Status column). [This step may not be required, however I had done it. See Notes below.]
    UPDATE: After reading around a bit I found that these steps to format the partition might not actually be necessary. Simply changing the type of the partition (as detailed below) might also work. However as I had done that, lets just keep these steps over here.
    Reboot into a Linux distribution Live CD (I had Ubuntu 10.10). Or, If you dual boot with a Linux distribution that does not complain about the now inconsistent fstab entry, you can also boot into that distribution directly. I had to boot into Live CD to fix my /etc/fstab.
    UPDATE: After considering all the aspects from start to end I have come to a conclusion regarding the efficacy of this method on dual boot machines with Windows and Linux installed. I doubt anyone with a dual boot Windows/Linux setup would be able to boot into the Dell Diagnostic Utility even with the Utility Partition restored. This is detailed below.
    (As noted above my Archlinux install did not boot up after I had reformatted  my Dell Diagnostic Utility partition. This is because I was mounting the Dell Utility partition at boot using fstab inside Archlinux. And I was using the UUID to mount the partition. After reformatting the partition its UUID changed. So, it wouldn't mount. And because of how my fstab was setup Archlinux won't boot. So, I had to boot into a live environment to fix this. This step applied only to me. YRMV.) Fix the fstab entry.
    (This step also applied to me.) Boot into the repaired Linux Distribution.
    And open a Terminal.
    In the open terminal run fdisk on your drive, e.g.,
    fdisk /dev/sda
    This is how it looks:

    [abhishek@Nitaichand ~]$
    Download the required Diagnostics Update Package from the Drivers Download page for your model. Got mine from here.
    Run the downloaded package under the OS you it downloaded for. That is, run the .exe on Windows. Or, if you downloaded the .bin file for Linux then first make it executable:
    chmod u+x CL1367A0.bin
    And now run it under a Linux distribution with an older version of python installed (I think <2.7). I say this because the .bin package didn't run on an updated Archlinux for me, probably because it has the latest python. I ran it from the Ubuntu 10.10 Live CD and it ran fine under that.
    On Windows, If you are not automatically prompted with an option to update your Utility Partition then you need to browse to the location where the package was extracted (for me it was C:\dell\drivers\R239866).
    Now you need to manually run the extracted file (for me it was DDDP.exe). Most probably you'll need to right-click it and run it as an Administrator. And if all went well, it will extract/update the diagnostic utilities to/on the Dell Utility Partition.
    I believe the above steps should be sufficient for someone who's lucky and who's update package is smart enough. However these steps were not sufficient for me. My "Partition not found" error was gone because I had changed the partition type. And so the update package was able to recognize the partition and extract the necessary files to it. But I was still not able to boot the utility partition. After the Pre-boot System Assessment although I no longer got the "Partition not found" error, but I was just dropped onto the GRUB boot menu prompt.
    [UPDATE: As stated above, I realize that the recovery partition had lost its ability to boot long before I had messed up my partition table. But I realized it only when I was testing all my partition after fixing the partition table. Please refer to this forum thread for further Details. I  do not think that it is possible longer to boot from the Dell Utility Parttion on my setup which has GRUB installed to the MBR. But the rest of the post documents my attempts to slove the problem without the knowledge from the forum post.]
    Anyways, it was a pain to again and again set up/update the partition and test it after waiting half an hour or so for the Pre-boot System Assessment to complete. But I was determined to solve the problem at-least partially, until next time. So I created a GRUB entry to boot the Utility partition. Assuming the partition is the first partition on the drive (which is the case here), the grub entry is simply:
    title Dell Utility
    rootnoverify (hd0,0)
    chainloader +1
    I tried downloading an older update package. I updated my Partition with it. And tested. Still, I was unsuccessful. I researched a little bit and found this link. Out of frustration,I decided to use brute force this time . So, the below are the steps which let me have at-least a glimpse of The Dell Diagnostic Utility booting up from the partition:
    Backup your partition table using the sfdisk command (not fdisk).
    Follow the instructions in the link I gave above (i.e., http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/1123) and build your Utility Partition from scratch.
    Now after that when you try to boot into the OS you'll be presented with an blue bar on top. This is because the mkup batch file from the Dell Diagnostic/Drivers CD/DVD wiped your partition table and rewrote it with only one partition on it- the Dell utility partition.
    Boot into a Live environment and restore your partition table from the backup created earlier using sfdisk.
    Now boot with a Windows disc to repair your Windows boot problem. This applied to me but may not apply to you.
    Again boot into a live environment and restore GRUB to MBR.
    After a reboot press F-12 to get to the BIOS boot menu and select Diagnostics.
    Let the Pre-boot Assessment run and after its complete it will ask you to press any key to boot the Dell Utility partition. Do that.
    You'll notice your still dropped into GRUB instead of getting the Diagnostics GUI.
    Now when on GRUB prompt don't boot any other OS.
    Press any key (other than <Enter>, that is ) to stop the timer if you have one set.
    Now look carefully at the boot menu.
    Remember I told you that I had created a GRUB menu entry to boot the Dell Utility partition. Select that. And if you are lucky you might just be able boot the partition. This worked for me (finally!).
    After this initial run I was unable to run the Diagnostics GUI from the GRUB menu entry again. I haven't tried to re-run the Pre-boot Assessment and wait to see, if I'm able to boot it from there. But now, I'm satisfied that at-least the file there are in a running condition.
    Also, the update package can be used to create boot-able USB drives or boot-able CD/DVDs which can run the Diagnostics just fine. They are almost as fast as the partition (especially the USB which seems even faster). They are recommend, instead of going into this trouble to recreate the partition. That is unless you are a purist/perfectionist .
    Notes:
    At first, I panicked and tried a lot of steps that are not exactly documented above for the sake of convenience to others who might refer.
    I have thus rewritten the post in a manner to make it very general in nature as it did not become very fruitful for myself.  If you attempt to use this guide, use common sense where necessary .
    Of course, if you are trying to build a Utility partition on a bare hard drive or you're feeling adventurous, you can always follow this link .

Also, I played around a bit and had some partial success in booting the partition. I've updated my original opening post with the new findings.
    Whew!! what a waste of time! Never want to do all of this again .

  • Buffer busy waits

    Hi,
    Version : Oracle 9i
    I am getting buffer busy waits on some tables. Will increase in inittrans & pctfree of those tables reduce buffer busy waits?
    Tablespace is having segment space mgmt auto & extent management local.
    cursor_sharing is similar.
    Users are not experiencing any problem.Is there any problem other than this in statspack report?

    I am getting buffer busy waits on some tables.
    Users are not experiencing any problem.Looks like you got bit by the CTD troll while sleeping.
    Note also that (if I'm reading the report alright) out of 23 mins you have 6 seconds accounted to buffer busy waits.

  • Office 2013 Home and Business not updating

    I have two PCs on my network that I bought from Dell. Both came with a license for Office 2013 Home and Business. Office trial version was already on the machines and i just registered and activated the trial version using the licenses I was given from Dell.
    Everything was fine until I was troubleshooting a duplicate email issue in Outlook on of the machines. At this time I noticed Office didn't appear to be on the latest version of click-to-run. I am relatively unfamiliar with click-to-run Office 2013 and the
    changes to how it updates. Apparently it does this automatically. Problem is these two machines don't appear to be updating at all. I can't find an update history just a version number. I found online and performed the following troubleshooting steps:
    1.) Disable then re-Enable Updates by going into File -> Account -> Update Options
    - this seamed to start the downloading of updates but they never installed. That window telling me they were
    downloading just goes away and nothing happens.
    2.) If "1" doesn't work try an Online Repair.
    - the repair begins and ends before completing saying "Something happened". This effectively breaks the install and
    a following dialog box explains that Office was uninstalled.
    3.) Re-install Office
    - but have to run a cleanup tool first to remove remnants of previous install. I then find it difficult to find an
    installer that will work at all kept getting "Something happened" message. Finally Dell support found an installer that
    works. however even after the install Office will not update.

    Per your post, it seems that you activate the Office 2013 Home and Business trial version by Dell provided. I can confirm the update service is available for Office 365 subscription users, but I am not sure whether it is working for the trail version.
    You'd better confirm it with you Dell provider or post a new thread in
    Office 365 forum, thanks.

  • How to apply an Outlook 2013 Open license to a pre-installed Office Home and Business 2013 installation for Email Auto Archiving functionality

    We're deploying new Dell pc's.
    Unfortunately we have a large existing install base of Office Home and Business in the field due to customers buying Office bundled on Dell machines.  Buying Open License Outlook licenses is more cost effective than upgrading to Office Pro Plus for all
    these users and is our preferred path.  We aren’t sure how to apply these Open License Outlook licenses since the Home and Business installations work off a single license key for all the applications

    Hi,
    Isn't the Office bundled on Dell machines already activated?
    If it's the OEM version that has been installed on the machines and you want to use retail product keys to activate the Office, it's not possible. You will need to uninstall the OEM version and install the retail version.
    You can check the OEM licensing system here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/productlicensing/Pages/office-2013-licensing-packaging.aspx
    To find more help about OEM depolyment, I should recommend you to get contact with the OEM Reseller Support System
    http://www.microsoft.com/OEM/en/Pages/contactus.aspx
    If I misunderstood anything, please feel free to post back.

  • Network printing: ipp "printer is busy"/LPD and AppSock prints garbled data

    Dear all,
    After months of trying on and off, I give up - I need help please. Since upgrading to Leopard, then Snow Leopard, I cannot print to the office computers. Windows or IPP printer settings produce the "printer is busy - wait 15 seconds" etc error message; LPD and AppSock printer settings enable data to get through, but the output is garbled text (the Adobe Postscript 3 engine on the printer isn't happy, obviously).
    We have some new colour copier/printers from FujiXerox (FX Docucentre IV C3370) and some older Canon laser printers (LBP5600), but they don't offer Bonjour connectivity and I am stuck. I can ping them, I have the latest drivers, but nothing works. They worked fine in OS10.4 on this same computer, and XP and Windows 7 of course in BootCamp, but nothing in OS10.5 or 10.6.
    I've been all over the web and through the Discussions forums and tried all the suggestions I can see, to no avail. I've tried KeyChains to carry by login ID and password to the machines, and deleting/adding printers through both the System Preferences and the CUPS interface, but I confess I am stuck. I currently copy all of my documents every day to a Dell desktop on my desk just to print them out.
    The Canons are run through a Windows server, the FujiXerox has a standalone IP address and no separate print queue at the moment. Running OS10.6.2 on MacBook Pro. I'm happily connected to the network and can access all sharepoints and servers, I just can print to any of the printers - it's infuriating.
    Is it a Firewall problem? Sub-net problems? Any ideas most welcome, thanks for looking and sorry if I've missed out anything important.

    After digging around I found the Windows drivers are ART EX drivers; obviously that doesn't really come in Macintosh flavour, but FujiXerox do have a non-postscript driver for the machine which I downloaded. This time I could connect via LPD, as FujiXerox recommend, but the print job stalls at the spooling stage; the error message reads that the 'Library/Printers/FujiXerox/Filter/FXPSACMMFilter.bundle/Contents/MacOS/FXPSACM MFilter' failed.
    The filter bundle crashing could be related to permissions on the filter or a result of using a 32bit driver with a 64bit application.
    For the permissions, you could opening Terminal and entering the following text;
    sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/Printers/FujiXerox/Filter/
    then press ENTER. You will be prompted to enter you user name and password. The user name needs to be an account that has admin rights to the Mac.
    Exit Terminal and restart the Mac. Now try printing again.
    Regarding the 64bit apps, these are the included SL apps like Preview, TextEdit and Safari. If you attempted to print with one of these apps when you got the error, you could try forcing the app to open in 32bit mode. This is done with the application closed. Locate the app with Finder and do a Get Info on the package (icon). There will be the option to 'Open in 32bit mode'. Select this, close the Get Info window and open the app. Now try a print.
    Regarding the Non-Postscript driver, looking at the FJ drivers web site, there are two of these drivers available. Both are showing as version 1.1, but the dates are different. Have a look at the following link to see if you have the one with the most recent date.
