Hardware lock on 3G
Hi
I am from Israel. I would like to buy an iphone from the US. I was told it has a hardware lock on the 3G so that it only works for Atat. THe phone providers here work on 2100 frequency. The question is does each iphone that is manufactured has the 3 frequencies even in the US. I was told that the ones in the US have the sim card lock and the 3G lock. It does not and can not support 2100. So i will only be able to use EDGE and not HSDPA.
Thanks
But the authorized apple dealer in my country can not unlock it ?
No, which would be illegal.
is there anything as such a hardware lock on the 3G itself
It is a hardware lock, not a SIM lock.
Purchase an iPhone sold officially by Apple where you will have support and where the warranty will be honored. Apple's warranty and support for the iPhone is honored in the country where the iPhone was sold officially by Apple only.
The less expensive advertised price for the iPhone in the U.S. is AT&T's subsidized price for the iPhone with a 2 year contract with AT&T required for the subsidy and activation with AT&T required at the store when purchased new.
If you are too cheap to pay the price for the iPhone sold officially in your country, you are setting yourself up for potential problems.

Hi. I'm not trying to rush things, you may have a different problem, but your issue looks quite familiar to me. I recently had a problem with the discrete graphics card (the Radeon GPU) due to overheating, all because a faulty application of the thermal compound in the factory.
In my case, the problem started slowly and intermittently, a few days after a gaming session (Quake 3) of about three hours (at the moment, I didn't realized that could be linked to the problem).
This issue is being actively discussed in another threads in this forum, but so far there's enough evidence that it's been causing similar problems for 2011 MBPs owners: screen corruption, black/blue screens, and in some cases, a total inability to boot. Some of the threads I'm talking about:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/13150366#13150366
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21110132#21110132
So far, and since the problem seems to affect only the discrete GPU (that's why you can boot in safe mode) a possible solution is to disable it by removing some extensions which prevent OS X from loading the Radeon drivers. This post describing the process (there are different files involved depending of your GPU version, so make sure you are moving the right ones):
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22521574#22521574
In the case your discrete GPU survived and is not permanently damaged, I personally had success by changing the thermal compound myself, which completely fixed the problem (at least for now). I've posted about it here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22630561#22630561
I hope you can find a solution, believe me I know the feeling when you see your expensive machine turning into a brick and it *****.
Good luck! -
Finding the cause of total hardware lock-ups
The new build has been running reasonably well, and I've done no major optimizing so far, and no overclocking (yet). However, I've been having infrequent and seemingly random system lock-ups that would appear to be hardware related.
Last night was about the fourth or fifth of these. I had been working on and off throughout the day on a 4-camera multicamera project, and having no issues at all. This was a TOTALLY different multicam experience than I've had with CS4, where MC was hardly usable. Anyway, I was going to make my last few edits of the night when the system locked up--I had just started playing back a sequence when it happened. No hard drive activity, no keyboard/mouse interaction, no bluescreen--the audio that had started playback, however, got caught in a short loop and made an annoying racket. The only way to return to normal was to hard reboot with the power button depressed. No error or fault is logged in the Windows event logs, beyond the reboot which is recorded as something like, "Your system restarted, probably due to you turning it off... don't do that." The actually fault that perpetuates such a drastic action is not recorded. My initial thoughts were that the RAM has a bad chip somewhere, so I've run a memory test for over 8 hours now, and had 0 errors reported. There were no lock-ups, either--the system has been just humming along that whole time. This obviously does not rule out the RAM, but doesn't make it easy to say it's the problem, either. The only "tweak" I've made to the system is the RAM, and that's by setting the DRAM frequency to 1600MHz; nothing else has been altered in the BIOS.
The last two lock-ups occured in one day, when I was attempting to export to an H.264 file, through the AME queue, with hardware MPE enabled. At different points in the export, the system locked, with similar results as above. After the second lock-up, I disabled GPU acceleration in PPro, and the export completed just fine. Interesting, I thought. However, I'd done other hardware MPE-assisted exports earlier that day and in previous days, with no lock-ups.
As mentioned, I'd encountered at least one other hard freeze, and if I remember correctly, I was in Premiere but not doing anything. I'd walked away from the system for a little while, came back, and it was Living Dead on my return. I hadn't been rendering, importing, playing back, or anything else.
I've been checking my temps with HWmonitor, and there isn't anything out of the ordinary as far as I'm aware. I'm really not stressing the system much, pretty basic and rudimentary edits. The memory test has now done about 600% coverage, and no errors. The bizarre coincidence is that these lock-ups occur when I'm in one of the Adobe programs--but I've never seen software cause a lock-up such as this before.
So... where do I go from here? The lock-ups seem to completely happen at random, with no particular instigation. Is there some sort of other monitor software I can run in the background that might indicate hardware failures that Windows is not able to catch?
I'm hoping you hardware gurus can shed some light on this bizarre predicament... thanks in advance for your insight.

It would seem to make sense to post my hardware... duh:

Noctua NH-D14 CPU CoolerWell, I really wanted Jeff's suggestion to be the solution, but alas, troubles remain. And it would appear that something far more sinister is happening than flaky codecs or software.
The good news is that I can now reliably repeat the lock-up, each and every time. The bad news is that the lock-up occurs whenever I attempt an export. I'm trying to get a 75-minute multicamera edit onto a DVD, and the moment the actual encode begins, the system goes into a hard hang. I have a number of audio clips that are being used, and I see "Adobe Premiere Pro is preparing audio for export" or something like that, and then once the video processing begins, it's curtains.
At first, I thought it was something with the hardware MPE--I'm using a GTX 480 with the hack. Editing works well--remarkably well. Encoding is a different issue, altogether, and it doesnt' matter whether I start the export with the Queue button or the Export button. I tried disabling GPU acceleration, and at first, I thought I had solved the mystery--the encode actually began and progressed for about 30 seconds. However, inevitably it would seem, I got the same hard hang.
The first couple "hangs" were actually system restarts; the Windows desktop would disappear, and moments later, I was back at POST. I then disabled the "Automatically restart" option in Windows, and after doing that, I simply ended up with a frozen system and desktop. I'm not sure those are coincidental, actually; I'm going to test that again this morning to see if I get the restart or the hang.
I've been checking out my temperatures with HWMonitor, and as far as I can tell, I'm not going off the charts with temperatures. Temperatures do climb (I have HWMonitor as I start the encode) for both the CPU cores and GPU, but nothing drastic, and there is no way that it's getting too hot in the 5 seconds that the encode is running before the hang. What about the power supply? I can see wattages for the CPU fluctuating drastically as the encode tries to begin, which I would gather is SOP for the operation of a computer, but is it possible that I am getting too much/too little juice? I've got a 1000W Cooler Master PSU, the components you see listed above, and 6 hard drives--this would seem to be more than sufficient to me (for my current use), but undoubtedly, the system is pulling more watts as it starts to work harder. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can really disconnect to test this theory, since I need all of the components and hard drives connected to do anything.
I'm at a total loss, guys, and I'm more than a little frustrated because I've got a pretty expensive paperweight sitting in my office. Unfortunately, I live in a pretty rural area, so finding a trustworthy computer tech locally is a challenge, so I'm hoping that you tech-savvy folks can through out some places to look.
Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi... you're my only hope...
Thanks, all... -
Can you "lock" a flash drive so that it can't be written to - on XP too?
Hello!
I've got a 2 GB flash drive full of music, numbered and in playlist order, which I like to use with the school lab computers when I don't have my Powerbook or iPod with me. The lab computers run both Windows XP (mostly) and Mac OS X 10.4.X Tiger. I'd like to be able to lock this flash drive, so that it can't be written to when attached to another computer (without a password, at least). iTunes (on the lab machines) will play music from this flash drive, but if I should accidentally delete a song, or have it "keep the iTunes folder organized" - it will rename all of the playlists or delete the song files. This is annoying.
My first thought was to make a .dmg image/volume on the drive via Disk Utility, but that won't work with windows machines. Is there any way to lock this flash drive? It does not have a hardware lock feature. If possible, i'd also like it to work with OS 9.2.2 - but this is most definately not required.
Thanks,
-DanielWithout a hardware lock I dont think there is a way to lock the drive cross-platform. You can lock all the files on the drive, which will prevent them from being modified, but that's only a superficial lock, as the "lock" checkbox can be edited in both windows and OS X.

I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari, the ipod, photos or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?
Next step is to Restore it in iTunes from your backup. If that does not work they try Restoring it as a new phone. If still no go it is a hardware failure and you will need to get it serviced.
And you are not showing the hardware lock icon on the top right of the home screen? -
Laptop wireless hard blocked - hardware key does not toggle state
hello,
this is my 3d arch install. i kept notes, and followed them exactly and this time i've ran into an issue i just cannot seem to debug myself.
this laptop is the hp envy 4 1130us. i also have the hp envy 6t-1000 with arch installed and this is not a problem at all for that version of the computer (one is my personal the other is my work machine).
after installing the base system i installed the wifi related packages:
pacman -S wpa_supplicant iw wireless_tools networkmanager network_manager_applet gnome_keyring
i enabled the network manager
systemctl enable NetworkManager.service
disabled dhcp (enabled from install)
systemctl stop dhcpcd.service
systemctl disable dhcpcd.service
enabled the wpa toolkit
systemctl enable wpa_supplication
add my user to the network group
gpasswd -a xero network
turn off the network interface controllers
ip link set down eno1
ip link set down wlo1
start the supplicant
systemctl start wpa_supplicant
start the network manager
systemctl start NetworkManager.service
reboot
after that the wired internet work perfect fine. the network manager applet detects the network and does it's thing. i configured and tested vpn as well, and it is also working as expected.
but then i pressed the hardware wifi switch (F12 key) and nothing happened. i pressed it a few more times, rebooted, tried again, tried during the bios/post test, etc. i simply cannot disable the hardware lock on the wireless.
so i went hunting on the wiki and here in the forums. nothing has worked. since, this was a fresh install last night i actually wiped the drive and tried the install again hoping i did something wrong, but with no avail. here's the debug messages:

Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
so based on some of the output it looks like RFKILL is blocking it during the boot process. i tried to unblock it via the unblock all command, but that's only soft blocks. i'm really not sure what to try next, so i'm asking for help (before i throw my laptop out the window).
thank you in advance for any adviceyeah,
i was thinking that recompiling each kernel would be a huge hassle as well.
so i just booted 2 live usb disks.
the 1st, the arch installer - the wifi was still hard blocked.
the 2nd, debian / crunchbang. what's odd, is that in debian the wifi key light is while (enabled) but it's still blocked. if the press the button it turns amber (disabled), if i press it again it turns white again and is actually enabled.
it almost seems like arch is not "catching" the action keypress. the keyboard backlight key works out of the box, and so does the screen brightness keys. but i run xfce4-volumed to control the volume related keys. is there anyway to emulate the hardware keypress to even see if that's the issue?
-----------------[update]-----------------
so i decided to try and enable the rfkill unblock all service:
systemctl enable [email protected]
that alone didn't work, but... i booted into another os, enabled wifi, then hard powered off the laptop. when i rebooted into arch it seems to work now. it's a really hacky work-around. but i'll take it. i'd really like a proper solution, but it works for now i guess.

Dear all,
Have you worked/ come across any programming on software authorisation using Hardware lock & serial number of PCMCIA card?
I would really appreciate if you can share your experience here with me. And, I believe your experience will in turn benefits many others.
Sample code(s) welcome.
Best regards

LVVILIB.blogspot.comHi David,
Thank you for your input.
Basically, I do not intend to create a file and write into the card but to acquire the card's Serial Num and compare it with a constant value (could be read from file) to ensire that the software is use in conjuction with the particular PCMCIA card.
I have simple idea about how to do this. However, any better, if not the best, solution(s) is always welcome.
Cheers.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.
Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.
I wanted to share an experience with everyone I hope will help others avoid what I have gone through the past 3 days. I bought a Yoga 11s that I loved but had some issues with the wireless, Lenovo being awesome replaced it with a Yoga 2 13. I love this laptop but ran into some issues with Linux install/wireless, which I wanted to show how to resolve in one place. Hopefully this will help someone else get through this quicker
I am going to try and write this for someone with little Linux experience, if I miss the mark please let me know and I will clarify the best I can.
For work I need Windows 8.1 and Kali Linux, while for home I prefer Ubuntu.
My Yoga 2 13:
I5 1.6 ghz
8 GB ram
256 GB SSD
ORANGE!
My requirements:
I need Windows
I need Kali Linux (livecd, even with persistent mode was not an option as it would not save the wireless fix or system updates) – I would also like this on a USB drive and not the internal SSD
I would like Ubuntu
Needed to do this:
1. 2 USB thumb drives (at least 8gb in size each) I used 2 Leef Supra 32GB drives. They are my favorite right now and are only about $27 at amazon.
2. Phone that can USB Tether or a USB Ethernet card (External USB wireless will show as "Hardware Locked"). Again you can pick one up for sub $10 if you need the USB Ethernet route. I used my Galaxy S5, you will need to download 200-300 mb of items through this so make sure you have the data if you go that route.
3. You may be able to get a USB wifi card to work if you do the following after boot. This only worked once for me.
a.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlmvm’
b.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlwifi’
4. ISOs of Ubuntu and Kali Linux (I used Ubuntu 14.04 and Kali Linux 1.0.7)
5. Software to unzip the ISOs. I recommend 7-ZIP and will be referencing this in this guide.
6. I will include the EFI boot files and the WiFi fix files if I can attach. Otherwise I will provide a link to them.
Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
Recommended (these are just in case you corrupt something making your system not see any OS
1. I would call Lenovo beforehand and get a set of recover disks (this will take 2-3 days)
2. In the meantime a USB Windows 8.1 or 8 ISO (the repair feature may save you)
*Note: At many points in this guide I detail steps and commands. Please double check that you understand the step before proceeding. There are multiple points where a mistyped command or clicking the wrong option will cause your entire system to fail and you will need to reformat the entire drive and start over. This also will make One Touch recovery not work. Proceed with caution.*
I did not need to disable ‘secure boot’ to do this, but keep in mind that you may need to.
Steps:
First let’s go through the installs, and then we will go through grub config and wireless fix
1. In Windows scroll to computer and right click, select manage.
2. Go to “Disk Management”
3. Select the main HDD (notice Lenovo puts a stupid number of partitions on here)
a. I deleted the D: drive on here, if you do this make sure to copy the drives over to your main C: drive. You will want to run each of the installers and repair the drivers after.
4. I used the space from the D: drive and pulled a little more creating a 50 GB partition for Ubuntu and my swap file
a. You can also add more space by right clicking your C drive and selecting shrink
b. Do not format the partitioned data as this will make identifying it later much easier.
5. Open a command line
a. Swipe from the right of the screen and select search
b. Type ‘cmd’
c. right click and select ‘run as admin’
6. For Ubuntu: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary’
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
6. For Kali Linux: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary size= 3272
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
j. By doing this we can maintain a portion of this drive as the install CD and still have linux install/ liveCD if we need to run it on another machine.
7. At this point the drive is ready to have the contents of the ISO copied over.
8. Right click the ISO and select 7-zip then ‘zip to /’ This should unzip the ISO to the location of the ISO into a folder named exactly the same as the ISO.
9. Once this is done for Ubuntu ISO it is done
10. Kali requires a little bit more to be ready
a. Kali will need some files added for EFI boot. --$--
i. Thanks to: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?271-How-to-EFI-install-Kali-Linux
ii. EFI files are located within the wifi fix folder https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
11. Now let’s start with Ubuntu
Ubuntu install
1. Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2. Select ‘Boot Menu’
3. Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4. Select ‘install Ubuntu’
5. Go through the Ubuntu install until you get to select the install drive
6. Once you get to the install portion it will ask you to select from one of 4 options. Select ‘Manually select partition’
7. Select the “Free Space” where we opened up some of the drive
8. You will need to create 2 partitions, I usually create the swap partition at the end of the drive
a. First I create the swap
i. Set at the end of the drive
ii. Set size to 1024 mb
iii. Set type to ‘swap’
b. Second create the ext 4 partition
i. Set to beginning of drive
ii. Set to remainder of the space
iii. Set type to ext4
iv. Set mount point to /
9. Finish the install and boot into Ubuntu
10. You will notice that your wireless is ‘disabled by hardware’ This is fine for the time being and we will worry about this after the kali install. If we fix it now for some reason after installing kali we get the error again and would just need to fix it again.
Kali Linux install
1. Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2. Select ‘Boot Menu’
3. Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4. From the grub menu select ‘install kali linux’ both graphical and text work. I much prefer text install
5. You will get a few errors through the install but that is fine
6. The first we see is about network hardware and ‘load missing firmware from removable media?’ – Select ‘no’
7. Then select no ethernet card
8. It will have you name your machine then it will ask you for the root password
a. If you want to just use root *not recommended* place the password here
b. If you wish to use a non-root account then leave these blank and it will ask you for a name, username, and password of the new machine *Very Recommended* - this will also add this user to the sudoers file
9. It will then ask you to ‘partition disks’
10. Select manual
11. Now here is where it can get a little confusing so read twice click once
12. Select the USB drive from this list
13. Mine shows up under (sdb) – Leef Supra
a. It could be sdc, sdd, sde, etc… depending on how many drives you have plugged in.
14. You should see one primary drive that is 3gb or so that is formatted as FAT32. – DO NOT TOUCH THIS PARTITION!
15. You should see the remainder of this drive as ‘FREE SPACE’ select that
16. Create a partition at the end at size 1024mb and swap
17. Then create another one for the remainder of the drive and set it to ext4 with mountpoint of /
18. Continue through the install after you should see an error warning you that ‘you may not be able to boot’ that is fine, select continue
19. Then select from the menu of all the options ‘continue without bootloader’
20. It should finish up then reboot on its own.First setup/boot/fix grub
1. You should be able to boot up into GRUB2 menu now.
2. You may not see kali linux in this menu (make sure you have your towel and don’t panic!)
3. Boot into Ubuntu
4. Once you log in you should see that you still cannot use wireless due to being locked by hardware
5. This is expected
6. Let’s fix grub then we will come back to fixing wireless
7. Plug in your device to connect to the internet (USB Tethering or USB Ethernet)
8. Once you verify that you now have an internet connection run the following from terminal
a. ‘sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer’
b. ‘sudo apt-get update’
c. ‘sudo apt-get install grub-customizer’
9. You can also edit the grub.cfg manually if you know what you are doing… I did not
10. Open grub customizer
11. It should auto populate and you should see ‘debian (kali linux)’ somewhere in the list
12. It should be mounted to /dev/sdb2 or /dev/sdc2 depending on how many devices you have
13. At this point go ahead and save
14. Reboot and test that you can get into each OS
15. This is where my inexperience got me. I spent 2 of my days so I am including this error: If when you boot into Kali you get an error somewhere that says ‘/bin/sh: can’t access tty: job control turned off’ look above it for an error that looks similar to ‘ALERT! /dev/sdc2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!!’
a. That error is due to the mount point being incorrect in grub, reboot and from within grub highlight the kali boot. Press ‘e’ then towards the bottom you should see ‘root=/dev/sdc2’ change this to ‘root=/dev/sdb2’ again the number doesn’t matter just make sure it stays the same.
b. Press F10
c. If this boots fine then you will need to go back and fix the grub.cfg or load into Ubuntu and open grub customizer again, it should fix this
16. Now you have 3 working OS on the machine with one being on a USB! Congrats!
17. You can remove the USB with no worry of screwing up your install, but you will not be able to boot into Kali Linux until you replace it. I would suggest only removing it and replacing it while the machine is powered off, but that’s just me.
Fix Wireless
Now is the time to do what probably ¾ of you came here for. FIX THE DANG WIRELESS. This is a huge problem from Lenovo’s side that I hope they realize how important Linux is and will fix. I won’t hold my breath though.
Log into Ubuntu : This is well documented in the following forum post on page 3 by user Haohe:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2215044&page=3
His has you download quite a large file, mine should be much smaller.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
1. Download the attached package with the fix.
2. Connect your USB internet device (tether or ethernet)
3. Place the packages somewhere easy to access, in this example I will place them under ~/Desktop/WiFiFix
4. Type ‘cd ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/’
5. Now we need to prep the tools we need.
6. Type ‘sudo apt-get update’ – we did this before, but you know, just in case
7. Type ‘sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname –r`’ Note around uname-r they are the ` symbol not the ‘ this is located just above the tab on the same key as ~.
8. Type ‘make’
9. Type ‘sudo cp /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup’
10. Type ‘sudo cp ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/ideapad-laptop.ko /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/’
11. Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
12. Type ‘sudo modprobe ideapad-laptop’
13. Type ‘sudo rfkill unblock all’
14. Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
15. Type ‘sudo mv ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko’
16. Next we need to blacklist the ideapad module
17. Type ‘sudo echo 'blacklist ideapad-laptop' > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
a. The first time I tried this it wouldn’t work. So I did the following
b. ‘sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
c. ‘sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
d. Enter blacklist ideapad-laptop
e. Exit and save
18. Reboot your Yoga 2 13
19. Boot into kali and see if you have wireless, if you do then you are done. If not we will need to repeat this process with one small little change.
Kali Wifi Fix
1. Copy the sources.list from the package provided
2. Replace /etc/apt/sources.list with the included
3. Some of the file path changes but the process remains the same from here.
Congratulations you now have 3 OSes one portable to other machines and working wifi!
Thank you

Hyper-V not installing on Windows 8.1
Hi
I can't activate the Hyper-V feature of Windows 8.1. Whenever I enable the feature all goes well, I reboot when prompted. But after the reboot Hyper-V is not installed - it's shown as not installed in "Turn Windows feature on and off".
The Windows Setup log has an information event (ID 11) "Update Microsoft-Hyper-V of package Microsoft-Hyper-V-ClientEdition-Package failed to be turned on. Status: 0x800f0922."
I tried DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, but that made difference.
I also tried activating the feature through DISM, but no joy.
Finally, I tried changing my SSD to a spare I had, and doing a fresh Windows 8.1 install on the new SSD, but Hyper-V still doesn't install.
I have a i7 CPU, and virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.

Opinions Needed On Right Choice of card
:confused2:I've been running the following thread
Ti4600-TDX8X
because I thought I was going to get a Ti4600-TD8X second hand but the deal has fallen through .
Now need to start all over looking for a replacement card and need some help.
As you will see I'm currently running a Voodoo 3 3000 16MB that I bought s/h in June 2000. It's been a good card and still is.
However I thought it might be time to upgrade for the following reasons:
1) I'm hoping to get a 17" Flat screen (TFT) Monitor later this year.
2) I might want to do some transfer some old 8mm film from my analogue camcorder and some VHS tapes to DVD/SVCD.
3) Wanted to make a general improvement in the performance of my system.
I'm not a gamer, apart from Flight Simulator 2000, so I don't need one of the latest super fast cards. My main use is word processing/spreadsheets/home accounting, some digital image editing from my digital camera and CD writing.
When I first started to think of upgrading I set myself to get 128MB on the card as I thought this would be better for the film transfer side of things (I'll get a dedicated capture card with hardware locking of video/audio if I go ahead) but since reading various topics on the subject it seems that extra RAM is only needed when rendering complex 3D games or images at high res. Not withstanding this I'm still inclined toward 128MB.
I decided to look on eBay(UK) for a good s/h card or at least one not quite at today's cutting edge. I hadn't realised just how many variations of card there are! My initial budget of 30GBP (50USD) was based on seeing a Radeon 9200SE for that price. Since then I've realised I probably need to allocate a bit more if I'm to give myself some choice.
As you may gather I'm a complete novice as far as video cards are concerned and have no idea how I decide if a 4200 is better for me than a MMX-440 or a 5200 better than an ATI 9200 or 9100 etc. etc. When I spotted the Ti4600 it seemed perfect, a card with good reviews and at a good price 70GBP(120USD).
Based on the Ti4600 I've set my budget now to a max of 70GBP (120USD). I need a good general purpose card that will cover all my needs. I'm inclined to nVidia rather than ATI as I've read there are less compatability issues with the nVidia drivers. My only other requirement is that the card must have an onboard fan. At the moment I'm using a PCI slot fan and I want to remove that and free up the slot.
Any help on picking the "right" card would be much appreciated.chris18,
The best cards are the ATI 9600XT, the ATI All in Wonder 9600Pro and the GeForceFX 5700 Ultra. (If you can find a MSI GeForce FX5900XT-VTD128 get it. The card prices around the GeforceFX 5700 Ultra but isafaster card.)
From [H]ard|OCP:
Quote
NVIDIA has put themselves in an awkward situation with the 5900XT. With the performance it has shown and the potential it has with overclocking at the price point it is being sold at it could actually hinder sales of their 5700Ultra. Why purchase a 5700Ultra at the same price of a 5900XT when the 5900XT is faster?
We definitely see a pattern with the games and cards tested in this review. The FX5900XT is much better competition to the Radeon 9600XT then the 5700Ultra is to the 9600XT. The Radeon 9600XT beats the 5700Ultra in almost every game, but the tables turn when you factor in the 5900XT. The 5900XT is able to match or beat the 9600XT in more than a few games by allowing you to run at higher quality settings than the 9600XT and still perform the same or better though there are some games where the 9600XT is the winner.
Take Care,

How can I copy protect a Labview application?
We have a high value Labview 7.1 application that we want to copy protect. Are there any third party software solutions available that work with Labview and provide hardware locked copy protection? We want to prevent a single license key from being shared to allow installation of our application on multiple machines.
We looked into Software Passport / Armadillo but Software Passport does not support Labview. We would prefer to use a third party solution as opposed to coding something ourselves. We are not experienced with writing software security applications but if third party solutions are not available I guess we'll need to get our feet wet. Thanks.I can imagine that a direct API implementation might be better.
My personal experience of such implemtnations has been that under these circumstances it is critical that: -
The implementation is solid.
Trust and security are correctly established.
It has been my experience that the above are quite difficult to assure. Where it works the EXE approach is probably better although the exposure to an attack by a sotware kit might be greater.
The above are why I indicated my alternate technique, not using a donlge but my own system. It is almost certainly weaker than a commercial implementation in some possibly many ways. But has the advantage that I change the implementation and techniques and whoever wants to access it has to start from zero. There are no kits because there aren't a million copies available.
I guess the right thing to do is to issue a challenge............perhaps with a reward........
But my experience of encryption is that it can always be broken by someone somwhere. The real questions are by who and when.

945GCM5-F V2: memory problems/queries
EDIT:
I've got a problem with Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 x64 look...
CCleaner says I have 4GB....
CPU-Z says I have 4GB...
p.s. BIOS Says that I have 3072MB.....!
On POST and on BIOS -> System Information....
What can I do for thisQuote
The only problem now is with the 4GB on bios and task manager
This is not actually a problem. There is nothing to fix here. The Intel 945G Chipset provides 4GB of address decode space in total and does not support memory remapping. As parts of that address space have to be reserved for other system devices and functions (ACPI, Video Card, Video Memory etc), it is impossible to fully address 4GB of system memory on a system based on a 945G Chipset (not even with a 64bit operating) system.
As you will probably not believe me, you can have a look at the Intel 945G Chipset Datasheet yourself. Here is the link:
http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/307502.pdf
Pay particular attention to the following passages:
--> Page 205:
Quote
Addressing of memory ranges larger than 4 GB (2 GB for 82945GC/82945GZ/82945PL) is not
supported. The HREQ[4:3] FSB pins are decoded to determine whether the access is above or
below 4 GB (2 GB for 82945GC/82945GZ/82945PL).
The (G)MCH does not support the PCI Dual Address Cycle (DAC) mechanism, PCI Express
64-bit prefetchable memory transactions, or any other addressing mechanism that allows
addressing of greater than 4 GB (2 GB for 82945GC/82945GZ/82945PL) on either the DMI or
PCI Express interface. The (G)MCH does not limit system memory space in hardware. There is
no hardware lock to prevent someone from inserting more memory than is addressable.
... and Page 211:
Quote
The (G)MCH provides a maximum main memory address decode space of 4 GB (2 GB for th
82945GC/82945GZ /82945PL). The (G)MCH does not remap APIC or PCI Express memory
space. This means that as the amount of physical memory populated in the system reaches 4 G
(2 GB for the 82945GC/82945GZ/82945PL), there will be physical memory that exists yet is
not addressable and therefore unusable by the system.
This is not a Board or BIOS Problem, but a Chipset Limitation. There is no workaround, no fix (as there is nothing to fix), but a fact that you have to accept. -
Has anyone had problems with installing XP in Paralells?
I tried with 2 different discs and get the same error on both. Something like it can't copy over all files needed. I have not tried boot camp due to fear of the same error. Is their any way to undo boot camp partition. If I was unsuccessful.I don't know about you but Dell does not equal OEM
(original equipment manufacture). An OEM copy of
Windows is a standard copy, which must be purchased
along with a piece of computer hardware; no different
from the one you'd pick up at Best Buy. The copy
that comes with Dell is a restoration CD. The OEM CD
can be used with the Boot Camp instillation process.
Let's not split hairs. Some vendors (I wouldn't know, I built my PCs) will give you a genuine Microsoft Windows XP disc. That disc is uninhibited and could be used for installation on any computer.
Other vendors (Dell I know as we use them at work) provide restore CDs, which are "OEM" in the sense that they are hardware-locked (the setup program looks for a Dell BIOS or service tag), or do not provide end-user access to the setup program (put in the CD, it reformats your hard drive and copies its own version of Windows). Other OEM discs (HP used to do this) contain extra programs for their hardware; they may or may not work on non-HP hardware.
If your CD is a geniune Windows XP CD, and you can use it, i.e. run its setup program and install on any machine you like, it's not an OEM disc. -
Hi All,
I am using MSI 925XE Neo Platinum Edition.
I know that this motherboard can cater up to 4GB of 533/400.
I am using Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Problem is I have this 4 x 1GB 667. Using Everest and Crucial Memory Scanner, they detected that I have 4GB of memory.
When I boot it up using this memories, it's giving me 2.75GB only in System Properties or 2.816 only in DXDIAG.
I tried configuring my boot.ini with /3GB, but it still gives me the same.
My BIOS Setting is 4-4-4-12. Memory hole is disabled.
Under Cell Menu:
DDR Frequency = DDR533
CPU Clock = 200MHz
DDR Volt = 1.8V
PCI Volt = 1.5V
I have 2 questions: (1) How to show in Windows that I have more than 3GB? and (2) How can I make full use of 4X1GB 667?
Any tips of how to make this work is greatly appreciated. I've wasted 2 days researching, but I can get a good response.
Btw, I have tested all 4 DIMM Slots and it's all working.Quote
(1) How to show in Windows that I have more than 3GB?
That is not possible.
Quote
(2) How can I make full use of 4X1GB 667?
You can't.
The chipset has a 32bit/4 GB addressing limit, does not support memory remapping and certain areas of the 32bit/4GB address space have to be reserved for other devices/system functions and are therefore not usable for memory addressing.
Look here:

*Depending on the type of memory used, it is not always possible to physically address the entire 4GB, you may found that you can only address up to 3.5GB, 3.8GB etc. This is a chipset limitation rather than BIOS or motherboard design.
