Desktop up grade for Windows 7

HP parent of Palm should provide the funding to update the palm desktop so that it runs correctly on windows 7 and future OS's.
1) Palm Desktop has a huge following and is by far more secure than the "Web Based" solutions that the phones are using.
2) Palm used to update the palm desk top with the evolutions of the various windows OS's.
3) HP has lately taken the approach to not update device software with the application of new OS's (IE My 1 year old all in one machine by HP works at a marginal level with basic windows 7 drivers).  HP has not provided a SW update or plans to.  I have bought a Brother to replace my HP office jet 6110.
4) Even if the software had a fee, I think the handhold community would pay for an upgrade, I know I would.
5) HP needs to wake up and support the Palm Community, as new OS's come on line, or their customer base will dwindle to other companies who do.

Hi kellywammes1,
I would like to help you with your installation problem. When you say it fails on step 6, does it give you an error message? What is the step 6 that it is failing on?
If you could please send me a screen shot of the failing point.
Let me know,
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

  • Desktop Skype Phones for Windows 8

    Hi All, I've downloaded Skype on my desktop for Windows 8 (I wasn't too happy with the app). I use a Skype number through my laptop (used as a server) which is shared between me and another individual in my office. I wondered if anyone knew if there was a way to get a USB Phone that we could use for this skype account so that either of us can answer the call or dial out from it? Any help would be great thanks.

    If you want to resort to using a USB-based Skype phone or adapter, I would suggest getting one that works in conjunction with SkypeMate.  That 3rd party application tends to get updated enough to be compatible with some Skype 6.x releases whereas other USB phones I've seen tend to discontinue support and only work up to the release when they were discontinued.
    For more information on your options, please read my responses in the following thread:

  • Fixed header working fine for desktop but not for windows phone

    I have my website in asp.net with master page. I have used below css for header div of my website to make it fixed.
    .header{
    z-index: 3001;
    position:fixed;
    top:0px;left:0px;
    background-color: white;
    width:100%;height:150px;
    This is working fine for desktop. But on mobile, I can only see my 50% of width of the header. On the right side of 50%, nothing is cmg. As in just white background is cmg. On the right side, I have a button which when I click is working. To say, controls are
    not visible but they are working if u manage to click at the exact place. Any fix for this?
    I want to add that this problem is coming only in windows phone. So need fix for that.

    Hi User1508372,
    The
    Developing for Windows Phone forum is for developers to discuss writing Windows Phone apps, not for writing web sites targeting Windows Phone IE.
    My guess here is that your site may be running into a compatibility mode or different versions of IE on desktop and on Windows Phone, but you don't provide enough information about which versions of IE you are using. Windows Phone 8 uses IE 10 (similar to
    Windows 8).
    The folks in the
    Windows Phone IT Pro forums are likely to know more about the Windows Phone IE specifics, and the folks in the IE or ASP.Net forums will know more about how to target your HTML for different versions.

  • Migrating from palm desktop 4.2 for windows to ical

    Hi,
    I am attempting to migrate my calendar and task information from my palm desktop 4.2 software on a windows xp machine to my brand-spankin' new iMac. The calendar file export type doesn't import into ical. I'm not even sure which application the task(to-do list) and memo(notes) data from palm desktop would be most appropriate to import into on the iMac, but I would like to migrate that data, too.
    I did successfully migrate my contacts info from Palm Desktop into the Address Book on my IMac. Hooray!
    any help is appreciated.
    thanks.

    Exporting Palm Calendar (Date Book): you should have in the Export dialog box the option of changing the export format from "Palm Desktop" to "vCal".
    vCal (.vcs) files will import into iCal. You can also bring them into Entourage (not through the Import dialog box, but by dragging the .vcs file onto the Entourage icon in the dock).
    You will almost certainly lose category information, if you were using any.
    Exporting Palm Addresses: choose the vCard format, which Apple's Address Book will recognise (ditto Entourage if you take that option). But I see you've succeeded with that part.
    Exporting Tasks: this gets tricky as Apple doesn't have a stand alone tasks or to do app and the to do function in iCal is a bit underwhelming. You'll be able to export Palm Tasks in "Tab & Return" format, which means you could open them in a word processing or spreadsheet program. I doubt you'd be able to get them into iCal with any ease. You may have better luck importing tasks into Entourage, which does have a proper Tasks function, but that's not something I've tried to do.
    Exporting Notes/Memo: as with Tasks, your option is using the "Tab & Return" format. You may need a 3rd-party notes program if you don't want to use Entourage Notes.

  • Developing desktop applications for windows

    Hello
    I am currently doing a final year project which is an encryption software for the company that i did my placement with. i have done the core part of the program but i need to know how to make it look professional. i need to be able to have it as an installable desktop application (Only for Windows), with an icon provided by me which is used when files are encrypted using the application. i have no idea how to achieve this effect and i seek knowledge.
    thanks in advance for your help

    There are many levels of professional software in my opinion. There is software that works, meets the requirements and doesn't crash. That's professional in the sense that it does what it is supposed to and does it well. People pay for that even if its green-screen non-GUI based. TONS of stuff still working/written for non-GUI environments and plenty pay for it.
    When related to Java and desktop applications, I feel there is only truly one real way to brag you have written a professional software suite. That is when your application not only adheres to what it should do, but provides a means to extend it without having to wait for major releases, and the UI is VERY consistent, not cluttered, not tons of buttons/menus/dialogs/windows all over the place and the underlying coce of the app is truly written well to make good use of areas of Java such as resources (properly closing files when not using them, returning DB connections when done, using WeakReference of nulling out refs to objects no longer needed). It is very very easy to cause a memory leak in a java application if you do not watch at all times for object refs that are left hanging.
    By extensibility, I mean providing some means of plugging in new pieces of code to enhance the product or fix existing issues (bugs) and providing a simple update facility that can either auto-update, or allow an install to add the update.
    It is exactly these reasons that keep me plugging away on my plugin engine (www.sourceforge.net/projects/genpluginengine) and UI framework built around plugins. While the engine is almost done and is very similar to the Eclipse plugin engine, the UI framework will be ongoing for some time. Making a very professional read-to-run-out-of-the-box free/open-source framework built on high-quality well tested plugins is not easy to accomplish with a couple hours a week and only me and one other doing it. I would love to get more help shortly, adding tons of great features that all developers could benefit from, and soon I will start asking various java boards for help, see if anyone is interested in contributing. The goal is a professional looking, solid underlying code, well/highly tested UI framework that can be used by anyone to quickly build their specifics and not worry about the more common UI application stuff such as file i/o choosers, help, preferences, authentication, access levels/rights, views and editors, and more. With a 3rd project working to add tons of Swing UI components, the final UI framework will provide a number of high-quality components like rounded/shaded/gradient filled panels with shadowing, calendar/date pickers, wizards, and more, again all highly tested to ensure ultimate quality.
    If you are interested, feel free to post back to this response with email, or join up at the above mentioned sourceforge project and start contributing to the mail list.

  • Wanted: Your Skype for Windows Desktop ideas

    We have just launched a new Windows Desktop Client idea board to let you all share and exchange your ideas on how to improve and develop Skype for Windows desktop client.
    Before you start sharing your ideas, here are some guidelines to help you get started:
    Idea Submission Guidelines
    Make sure your ideas are for the right client.  This idea board is for Skype for Windows desktop client, not Skype for Windows 8.
    Search before posting.  Do a quick search and make sure you are not submitting a duplicate. If the idea already exists show your support by giving kudos to the original idea rather than watering down the potential impact across multiple submissions.
    Review the ideas of others.  Look at other ideas to see what your fellow community members are requesting and feel free to exchange on them in the comments section. While we take into account the numbers of kudos an idea receives, we also consider the amount and quality of member feedback when making our decisions.
    Add value.  Vote for those items that you like and agree with by giving the idea a kudos. It's a way to recognize someone's effort and to signal to us how important the idea is to you. We are using votes and comments as a barometer to find out more about what our contributor community thinks is important, so we can factor this into our prioritization process.
    Submit a new idea. Adding an idea is just like posting a message on a board. To create an idea, click on the “New Idea” button, located on the top left side of the idea board.
    Be sure to enter a clear title and description of your idea so others can decide how they would like to vote. Be as clear as possible, tell us what your idea is. Remember to include how it would benefit users and why you think we should consider it as well as scenarios that you think the idea would be used it. That will not only help us to better understand what you want, but we may even be able to solve your problem more quickly another way. You can also preview your idea and check your spelling before you post the idea.
    You will need to select a label for your idea, you can choose from one of the following labels:
    Voice
    Tell us how you would change the calling experience in Skype when making voice calls to contacts or phone numbers.
    Video
    Video is one of the core functionalities of Skype, tell us how you would make it better!
    Instant Messaging & Contacts
    How would you make the messaging and contacts experience better?  You can also include ideas around how you would improve the main user interface of Skype within this label.
    Sharing
    Today you can share photos, videos, files or your computer screen using Skype for Windows desktop. What would you change or add to the sharing experience to make it better?
    Tips to draft your idea:
    Start with a clear title
    Include scenarios and use cases for how the idea would be used
    Add appropriate label(s)
    List features and benefits
    Keep it short and to the point
    Avoid tech speak
    Do not be discouraged if your idea was not selected.  Sometimes what seems to be a simple idea may not be so simple to build. Some ideas take longer than others, and some ideas will not be possible within the scope of what we want to accomplish in the next year or so.
    Be respectful.  Comply with the Community Guidelines and Skype etiquette.
    Rights to Feedback: Skype may or may not use your comments, ideas, or suggestions. Skype reserves the right to use for any purpose including commercial purposes, comments, ideas, suggestions, code, products or services (“Content”) that are posted on this community without any obligation to compensate the individual or entity that provided the Content. By posting any Content in the community, you hereby relinquish any right you may have in such Content and to any future compensation for publication, use, distribution, license or sale of the same.

You agree that all opinions expressed by users of this community are expressed in their individual capacities, and not as representatives of Skype.
    Recent Feedback: We have gone through some of the recent posts on the Skype for Windows desktop board and gathered some of the improvement ideas posted there.  However we need your help to prioritize these ideas against other ideas that you may have.
    Frequently Asked Questions
    What is the Idea Board all about?
    Idea Board is a new part of the Skype Community, where members can share their ideas about existing products and services. Anyone in the community can see and vote on the ideas you post.
    We encourage you to give kudos and comment on submitted ideas as we are more likely to take the top kudoed and most discussed ones into consideration.
    How do I navigate the Ideas Board? 
    Finding your way around the ideas board is a pretty straightforward. Here are some of the things you will see to help you get around:
    New Ideas – The most recent ideas.
    Hot Ideas – The most popular ideas right now.
    Top Ideas – The most kudoed ideas.
    The sidebar widgets
    In the sidebar you'll find more ways to sort the ideas board, see new and popular ideas and the top rated contributors to the idea board. It's also really easy to filter ideas by status, for instance if you only want to see ideas that are “Accepted”.
    How to check if an idea exists already?
    Use the search function filtering by the ideas board – or click here (direct link to search function)
    What do the votes/kudos mean?
    Just as you can give kudos in the community boards and blogs, you can vote for ideas you like on the Idea Board. Ideas with high vote totals are more likely to be recognized and accepted by the teams at Skype who develop our products and services. You can also leave comments on ideas, but remember to be kind!
    What do the different idea statuses mean?
    We strive to review submitted ideas on a biweekly/monthly cycle. Each idea will go through a life cycle that will be assigned statuses at each milestone. The statuses are explained here:
    New Idea - Sparkly new idea, submitted by you, and ready to be vetted by the community.
    Comments Requested - Items set as Comments Requested will be open to the community for feedback and votes.
    Under consideration - Idea has been forwarded to appropriate business team who is determining feasibility.
    More information needed - More information is needed before our Product Management team can take this forward, please review the comments left by the team.
    Duplicate - Ideas in this status have already been submitted in some form or another. We will link these items over to the other idea so you can review the status or track the progress there.
    Already exists - This is available in the product. 
    Future possibility - Idea is a good one but not something we can include in a near-term product or software release.
    Accepted - Idea has been accepted and has been taken forward for implementation, check back soon for updates.
    Not right now - We like the idea but just not for right now, we will revisit it in the future.
    Implemented - You asked for it, we did it!
    My idea has been accepted. How long will it take to be implemented?
    Sadly, we will not be able to provide dates for the implementation of any accepted ideas within the community due to the number of factors involved. Please be patient and let us make sure it is completely ready before we make it available.
    How will I know if an idea has been implemented?
    You can track the status of your ideas as your ideas are sent to the people here at Skype who can make them happen and you will see the status of your idea is updated. We will be telling you if the idea is something we are working on now or would like to do in the future, or if it’s something that is not feasible for us at this time. To ensure you don’t miss any updates select “Subscribe” from the “Idea Options” menu when viewing your idea.
    What ideas have been implemented so far?
    You can check the "Accepted and Implemented ideas" topic which we will post once the first idea got implemented.
    Can I edit or delete my ideas comments?
    No, you can't. Be sure to check your spelling and preview your comment before you post it; you can't edit a comment once it's posted.
    Who moderates/ manages the ideas board and in what frequency?
    The community team is monitoring the board on the daily basis and product managers will come in on a bi-weekly basis to update statuses of the ideas and post their comments.
    If Skype decides not to pursue my idea, will you tell me why?
    We do not always provide the reasons for our decisions regarding ideas submitted for review but will strive to provide an explanation where possible.
    If I am not comfortable submitting my idea over the Internet, is there another way I can do so?
    No. Unfortunately we are only collecting ideas using the idea board at this time.

  • When are retirement dates for certification MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Support Technician on Windows 7 and MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Administrator on Windows 7?

    Hi,
    So what's the current situation with the MCIPT certifications in Windows 7?
    MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Support Technician on Windows 7
    MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Administrator on Windows 7
    The certifications had previously been scheduled to retire in July 31, 2013.
    Then that deadline was extended and they were due to retire in January 31, 2014
    Presently, the certifications are listed on the ever unhelpful Microsoft Learning website
    MCITP page and the
    windows certifications
    page.
    In typical Microsoft Learning unhelpfulness there is a bland, confusing and uninformative statement saying
    "Most MCITP certifications will be retired by July 31, 2014. Please check the
    retired certifications and
    retired exams pages for specific retirement dates."
    Naturally, Microsoft aren't being specific about which MCITP certifications are being retired.
    To be more obstructive and confusing, us poor learners are invited to check the retired certifications page, which only lists certifications that have already retired,  for information about when a certification
    will retire in the future. I have seen this done repeatedly in this forum and on borntolearn.mslearn.net in reply to questions about future certificate retirement, which is totally useless and perhaps deliberately deceptive, as the exam aren't
    being discontinued and there's no info about future certification retirement.
    There has previously been actual helpful information on the Microsoft learning webpages with statements explaining that whilst in a transistion between the older style MCITP and newer MCSA certification for Windows 7, that both certification titles will
    be awarded until x date, when the MCITP will be retired and the MCSA will be awarded only. I can't see anything like that on the site at the moment.
    I'd be most grateful if
    anyone can link me to a Microsoft press release / blog / webpage that announced the scrapping of the January 31, 2014 deadline (as I must of missed this announcement)
    anyone can give an update on the current Microsoft thinking about when this certificate will retire? Especially any links to announcements.
    are both MCSA and MCITP certifications still being awarded?
    advise what's the best way of staying up to date with multiple changes to exam and certification retirement announcement? (apart from borntolearn, which is awful and again, just directs back to the retired exams/certifications pages)
    Many thanks everybody!
    edit: formatting and spelling

    Why choose a near retiring credential ?  
    * Have ever you applied for a job with keyword requirements ?  Employers can be (and have been) insanely specific. (Then again that sort of gatekeeping for employment usually guarantees a fresh batch of pathological liars are your applicants, but I digress.)
    * Also could be on a time deadline, e.g. contract bid requires x number of people to be certified, CompTIA requirement deadline could be arriving, and so on.
    * Taking 2K08 exams when working in a 2K08 environment is probably easier than jumping into the next version without any access to it (other than building your own virtual servers or labs).
    My current employer uses 2K08 not 2K12.  There are also 2K03 servers still in production (eventually being phased out). 
    I don't know what the stats are today but (in 2012) 2K08 was leading over 2k12 in market share.  
    I thought that's what truly drives these exams' and certification's availability.

  • Why does Digital Edition not work in desktop mode for WIndows 8?

    I have installed the most recent version of JAVA and then downloaded and installed Digital Editions.  I can open Digital Editions in desktop mode but when I select a book I cannot turn the page or move to a new page by any means.  The only thing that seems to work is to select a new page and then toggle between full screen and partial.

    I don't think ADE uses Java at all.
    I run it in desktop mode in WIndows 8 and it reads books and turns pages fine: either using the left-right arrow keys,
    or clicking on the forward/back buttons each side of the scrollbar at the bottom of the page.
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0, and even though that isn't a bug for me it may be for you.
    Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

    I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

    All,
    A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
    Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
    The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
    Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
    So happy to be done w/this one!
    Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

  • After reopening Firefox does not remember which desktop was used for each window. Can you help, please.

    I'm using two displays and several desktops on my Mac (OS X 10.9.4).
    When I need to restart Firefox, it remembers to open windows from last session in correct display, but does not remember which desktop was used for each window. So when the application starts, it opens all windows on a desktop which is currently active instead of reopening them on desktops used during the last session. How to fix the issue?

    Hi Nerva,
    Thank you for your question, there is a add on I have been recommended to custom set up of opening windows in new monitors. It's called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/monitor-master/ Monitor Master].
    However, in regards to the session remembering which monitor the window was open in, in the profile folder there is a file that stores window positions and dimensions. It is called localstore.rdf.
    Please stay tuned for more investigation, as there are definitely bugs on file for similar issues. Pinpointing it is the hard part.

  • Licensing for Windows Virtual Desktops (VDI) - do I need Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) licenses?

    Hello.  I am trying to figure out what type of licenses I need to achieve the following:
    - Windows Server 2008 R2 running Hyper-V
    - 25 virtual desktop on Hyper-V running Windows 7 Professional
    Do I need a "full" license of Windows 7 Professional for each virtual machine, AND another license (let's say maybe Windows 7 Starter) running on the actual PC's that the users will be using?
    I came across this article regarding Virtual Desktop Access licenses, do I need that?  Or would I be fine just purchasing 1 copy of Windows 7 for each PC?  In that case should I choose Starter or Professional?  The desktop PC's that users
    are using are older Pentium 4's so I wanted to keep the load on them minimal.
    Thanks!

    Does this article still applicable for Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 VDI deployment ?
