Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............

Help needed for writing query

help needed for writing query

384           S2      4           2           5           3
---------I actually designed the ABOVE table also like this
3) a)COMBINATION
COMB_ID(NUMBER) COMB_NAME(VARCHAR2)
383           S1
384           S2
b)COMBINATION_DET

8               384          3
Business rule: a combination consists of a maximum of 4 subjects (must contain)
and the user is less relevant to a COMB_NAME(name of combinations) but user need
the subjects contained in combinations
i need the following output
COMB_ID COMB_NAME SUBJECT1 SUBJECT2      SUBJECT3      SUBJECT4
383     S1     Biology Chemistry      Computer Science Physics
384     S2     Chemistry Computer Science Mathematics Physics
or even this is enough(what i actually needed)
COMB_ID     subjects
383           Biology,Chemistry,Computer Science,Physics
384           Chemistry,Computer Science,Mathematics,Physics
you can use any of the COMBINATION table(either (2) or (3))
and i want to know
1)which design is good in this case
(i think SUB_ID1,SUB_ID2,SUB_ID3,SUB_ID4 is not a
good method to link with same table but if 4 subjects only(and must) comes
detail table is not neccessary )
now i am achieving the result by program-coding in C# after getting the rows from oracle
i am using oracle 9i (also ODP.NET)
i want to know how can i get the result in the stored procedure itsef.
2)how it could be designed in any other way.
any help/suggestion is welcome
thanks for your time --Pradeesh

Well I forgot the table-alias, here now with:
SELECT C.COMB_ID
, C.COMB_NAME
, (SELECT SUB_NAME
FROM SUBJECTS
WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID1) AS SUBJECT_NAME1
, (SELECT SUB_NAME
FROM SUBJECTS
WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID2) AS SUBJECT_NAME2
, (SELECT SUB_NAME
FROM SUBJECTS
WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID3) AS SUBJECT_NAME3
, (SELECT SUB_NAME
FROM SUBJECTS
WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID4) AS SUBJECT_NAME4
FROM COMBINATION C;
As you need exactly 4 subjects, the columns-solution is just fine I would say.

Help needed for dynamic update form

I could really use some advice - I've been asked to build a time tracking application (basically a timesheet) and I have a fair bit done but the part I am really struggling with is the best way to accommodate some of the specifications. I am NOT a programmer (I have some coldfusion experience but nothing really advanced) so I have not managed to sucessfully integrate the various methods I've found on the web so far. The database is created and so are all the queries, and I have also written a cfc to handle the drop-down menu logic needed but I don't really know how to integrate it with the form.
Our production server has ColdFusion MX7 so all the great functionality in the CF8 examples I can't use.
The issue is the user should ideally be able to add/edit/delete multiple rows at once- I like CFGRID, and the HTML version seems best. The main issue with the Flash version is the scrolling to get to the insert/delete buttons- I couldn't see how to get rid of that. A separate add and edit form could be ok depending on how easy it is to use.
One problem I have is that I can't work out how to have default values with the grid (the userID which is a session variable, and the date which is constantly changing- there is a cfcalendar for the user to change date).
The biggest hurdle is the related select drop-downs I need- it's not quite as simple as the city,state,postcode examples. For the first drop down the pick an option- and for only 2 of those options there is a second drop-down. Anything else and it stops there. For the second drop-down, there are 2 options, and depending on which one of these they pick the 3rd drop-down pulls a query from one or another table in the database (2 entirely different things). The three options have different database tables. The main timesheet table just stores the id number from those tables (so I also need to display the names on the drop-down from the options tables not the number).
I played with simple and complicated javascript and coldfusion solutions as well, but because it's a form to update records and also because of the above specs I just couldn't get anything to work right. I tried binding with the cfc and nothing would bind, plus I don't know how to make all happen without a page reload.
Does anyone have any advice for the best approach to this? As I mentioned I've got tables, queries and even a cfc but I'm not too clear on how to put it all together properly within the constraints of MX7.
PS I also can't post a lot of code because of where I work- I know that's not helpful but am looking for the best approach to this, then I can work on the details. Right now I am jumping from solution to solution and not getting anywhere.

Well, a lot of code has come and gone because I couldn't make it work, where I'm currently at is:
<cfform name="updateform" id="updateform" action="#CurrentPage#?#CGI.QUERY_STRING#">
<cfgrid name="MainData" height="400" insertbutton="add" deletebutton="remove" query="getMainData" insert="yes" delete="yes" rowheight="20" selectmode="edit" format="html">
<cfgridcolumn name="id" display="no">
<cfgridcolumn name="userID" display="no">
<cfgridcolumn name="entrydate" display="no">
<cfgridcolumn name="activityID" >
<cfgridcolumn name="typeID">
<cfgridcolumn name="projectID" values="#ValueList(getProjects.id)#" valuesdisplay="#ValueList(getProjects.name)#">
<cfgridcolumn name="time" width="10">
<cfgridcolumn name="comment" width="150">
</cfgrid>
<cfinput type="hidden" name="entrydate" value="#Session.username#">
<cfinput type="hidden" name="entrydate" value="#editdate#">
<cfinput name="update" type="Submit" value="Update">
</cfform>
** for some reason getProjects.name doesn't work and causes an error. I haven't worked out how to get the default inputs for the date and user ID to work either. I also tried binding and a flash form somewhere along the way.
** the CFC is below, #ds# didn't work and I had to put in the actual DSN name, not sure why, but anyway this is the logic of the thing. Ideally I would like to use this logic with the cfgrid, but I'm not sure if that is possible? It seems like it would be the most user friendly approach.
The CFC so far is:
<cfcomponent>
 <cffunction name="getActivities" access="remote" returnType="query">
 <cfquery name="getActivities" datasource="#ds#">
SELECT * FROM timesheet_activities
</cfquery>
 <cfreturn getActivities>
 </cffunction>
 <cffunction name="getTypes" access="remote" returnType="query">
 <cfargument name="Activity" type="any" required="true">
 <cfif ARGUMENTS.Activity EQ "">
 <cfset getType = "">
 <cfelse>
 <cfquery name="getTypes" datasource="#ds#">
 SELECT * FROM timesheet_type
 </cfquery>
 </cfif>
 <cfreturn getTypes>
 </cffunction>
 <cffunction name="GetProjects" access="remote" returnType="query">
 <cfargument name="Activity" type="any" required="true">
 <cfargument name="Type" type="any" required="true">
 <cfif ARGUMENTS.Activity EQ "" OR ARGUMENTS.Type EQ "">
 <cfset LstProjects = "">
 <cfelseif ARGUMENTS.Activity EQ "1" OR "3">
 <cfquery name="getProjects" datasource="#ds#">
SELECT id,name FROM projectsa
WHERE completed = 'false'
</cfquery>
<cfelse>
<cfquery name="getEProjects" datasource="#dse#">
SELECT id,name FROM projectsb
WHERE statusID = '6'
</cfquery>
 </cfif>
 <cfreturn getProjects>
 </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Any attempts to actually use the cfc didn't work. I tried to use it with a normal html update form and got the message- failed to bind, Activity didn't exist. I also tried to bind it to a flash grid. The argument for Activity needs to come from the drop-down Activity type selected. Maybe I'm missing something.
ETA:
just moved everything to the live MX7 server (because my dev server is Coldfusion8) and I get the following:
Attribute validation error for tag CFGRID. The tag does not allow the attribute(s) BINDONLOAD,BIND.
Does this mean I definitely can't use the CFC with the cfgrid on MX7? Or is there a way to do it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Query help needed for querybuilder to use with lcm cli

Hi,
I had set up several queries to run with the lcm cli in order to back up personal folders, inboxes, etc. to lcmbiar files to use as backups. I have seen a few posts that are similar, but I have a specific question/concern.
I just recently had to reference one of these back ups only to find it was incomplete. Does the query used by the lcm cli also only pull the first 1000 rows? Is there a way to change this limit somwhere?
Also, since when importing this lcmbiar file for something 'generic' like 'all personal folders', pulls in WAY too much stuff, is there a better way to limit this? I am open to suggestions, but it would almost be better if I could create individual lcmbiar output files on a per user basis. This way, when/if I need to restore someone's personal folder contents, for example, I could find them by username and import just that lcmbiar file, as opposed to all 3000 of our users. I am not quite sure how to accomplish this...
Currently, with my limited windows scripting knowledge, I have set up a bat script to run each morning, that creates a 'runtime' properties file from a template, such that the lcmbiar file gets named uniquely for that day and its content. Then I call the lcm_cli using the proper command. The query within the properties file is currently very straightforward - select * from CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_ANCESTOR = 18.
To do what I want to do...
1) I'd first need a current list of usernames in a text file, that could be read (?) in and parsed to single out each user (remember we are talking about 3000) - not sure the best way to get this.
2) Then instead of just updating the the lcmbiar file name with a unique name as I do currently, I would also update the query (which would be different altogether): SELECT * from CI_INFOOBJECTS where SI_OWNER = '<username>' AND SI_ANCESTOR = 18.
In theory, that would grab everything owned by that user in their personal folder - right? and write it to its own lcmbiar file to a location I specify.
I just think chunking something like this is more effective and BO has no built in back up capability that already does this. We are on BO 4.0 SP7 right now, move to 4.1 SP4 over the summer.
Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.
thanks,
Missy

Just wanted to pass along that SAP Support pointed me to KBA 1969259 which had some good example queries in it (they were helping me with a concern I had over the lcmbiar file output, not with query design). I was able to tweak one of the sample queries in this KBA to give me more of what I was after...
SELECT TOP 10000 static, relationships, SI_PARENT_FOLDER_CUID, SI_OWNER, SI_PATH FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS,CI_APPOBJECTS,CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE (DESCENDENTS ("si_name='Folder Hierarchy'","si_name='<username>'"))
This exports inboxes, personal folders, categories, and roles, which is more than I was after, but still necessary to back up.. so in a way, it is actually better because I have one lcmbiar file per user - contains all their 'personal' objects.
So between narrowing down my set of users to only those who actually have saved things to their personal folder and now having a query that actually returns what I expect it to return, along with the help below for a job to clean up these excessive amounts of promotion jobs I am now creating... I am all set!
Hopefully this can help someone else too!
Thanks,
missy

Help needed for file processing using FTP

Hi All,
I am new to ODI tool and currently we are implementing one project in ODI. Could you please, any one help me on the following requirement... how to implement it?
Scenario:
i) I need to pick a file from remote host 'outbox' dir using FTP process, and place into local 'temp' dir. (I can do it with odiFTPGet tool)
ii) Change the file as per target business requirement.??? ( this step challenging me)
for ex:
if source file name : <project name>_<source ID>_<transaction name>_<unique id>.txt
target name should be : 1234_<transaction name>_<sysdate in yyyyMMddhhmmss>_<unique id>_2345.txt ( here 1234 and 2345 are hard coded values)
iii) Later move to local 'temp' to local 'outbox' dir. ( I can do it with odiFileMove tool)
iv) After successful process move the file from remote 'outbox' to remote 'archive' dir ??? (again this is challenging me).
For this my questions are:
1) How to get file name into a variable ( In one of the post , it says we need to create data model and data stores, and interface to get the file names into a file. apart from is there any easy way i can implement it in package it self?)
2) How to tokenize a long string ( i.e., need to tokenize the source file to get <unique id> and <transaction name> and map to target file name)
3) How to define implementation for Java in user function?? do we need to use class declarations and import statements?? I need a sample user function in Java.
4) How to move/rename a file in remote server?? ( need to move file from remote 'outbox' server to remote archive' dir)
5) If any step in package fails, How to get the error msg into a variable which i can use for sending mail and raise a ticket in remedy?? ( I will pass that variable to as content to mail and remedy ticket)
6) How to handle list type data (string list) by variables in ODI?? (As we can define single variable not as list.)
I am sorry to ask all my queries I a single post. But I need to solutions for all to implement this in my project.
Thanks in advance. Appreciate early response.

Kiran.N

Can any one share your thoughts for my request.
Thanks in advance.

Help needed for using BASIC authentication through JDBCRealm

Help needed.
Hello,
I am doing a degree project, so far it works fine in my local machine, I need to try it on my virtual hosting (as it is a live server).
My project requires JDBCRealm, that is BASIC authentication loading access data from mysql database. Normally this setup can be done in Server.xml file, because my Tomcat hosting is a virtual one, I only have permission to access the web.xml file.
My question is: is it possible to get it done in an alternative way? In web.xml? Some properties file maybe?
Thank you very much.

You can set this up for your context using META-INF/context.xml instead of working with server.xml.
Make a directory called META-INF under your webapp ( it'll be at the same level as WEB-INF ). Under this, add a context.xml with all your context specific configuration including the realm. A sample is below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/myApp" reloadable="true">
 <Realm
 className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm"
 driverName="com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
 connectionURL="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1433;DatabaseName=myDB;SelectMethod=Cursor;"
 connectionName="username" connectionPassword="password"
 digest="MD5" userTable="users" userNameCol="userid" userCredCol="userpassword"
 userRoleTable="user_roles" roleNameCol="rolename"
 />

Help needed for Time Calc Java Script

Hi,
I am trying to create a timesheet in PDF and have hit a speed bump. Is there anyone there who could provide me with a script that calculated the difference between 2 times? (Field2 time)-(Feild 1 Time) = Duration.I am desperate and have tried everything.
I proccess the payroll for a company and all of the 500 or so timesheets that I received each fortnight are paper copies and I am pulling my hair out. I need to use Adobe forms (We have Adobe Pro 9 and I am using the XML forms, not live cycle) as the serach engine that we use for emails cannot search on excel documents.

Help needed for OSM - EBS Projects Integaration

Hi All,
Can anyone help me with where to start from and how to proceed regarding the integration of OSM and EBS Projects??
We have a requirement of Creating Projects in EBS through an Order created in Siebel and passed on to OSM.. Can anyone guide me how to proceed in this regard?
We are planning to create a process with an Automation Task and an Automation Plugin (Query Sender) that will trigger the EBS Projects. Is that right?
Any help in this regard will be valued. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hariharan

Hi Hariharan:
The proper wayt to extend O2A at COM level falls into the "Add a New Fulfillment Function" extensibility use case.
This is if you want to levarge COM Order Management including orchestration, lifecycle management and fallout management.
-Do you need to interact with EBS for various order types? new / revision, cancelation? (add, update, delete )?
-Do you need to centrally manage EBS order fallouts?
-Do you need to include EBS order items status in the overall SalesOrder status update to CRM?
Adding a New COM Fulfillment Function to the O2A Solution will translate into these high level steps:
-Determine integration approach (AIA vrs Custom System Integration ) // Assuming AIA based integration
-Define/create inbound/outbound queues (local OSM ) and AIA integration (SAF or Bridges)
-Configure new order components specifications
-new system component //EBS System
-new function component //EBSOrderFunction
- Define the new process flow to execute new function
     automation plug-in to createEBM, and receive ResponseEBM (correlate by JMSCorrelationID/XML Body)
     Here is where Brian's comment applies. As long as the automate task sets the proper correlationID in the sender plug-in
          the correspondng external receiver plg-in will process the response from EBS
- Update ProductSpecifications (to include new fulfillment funtion in orchestration plans)
- Update Decomposition Rules to decompose relevant items for new EBM system
- Small XML and XQuery Configuration updates.
Again, this is just a high level list of steps.
Offcourse this list will grow into a more detailed design specification when these requirements are fully analyzed.

W530 SSD and Memory help needed for high performance systems.

Hi Guys,
After dealing with lots of laptops that got destroyed by daily use, our organizations is considering ordering 25 Thinkpad W530 laptops from Lenovo and we hope that they last a little longer.
Our main usage is video editing and design so we have chosen the best that Lenovo has to offer as far as hardware.
Since Lenovo charges arm and a leg for SSD and 16GB memories, we have decided to purchase these separately and upgrade ourselves.
Knowing the high need for performance, what would you recommend for 128GB SSD and 16GB memory?
The laptops are all coming with 7200 RPM drives for storage so the SSD is mainly for programs and the OS.
For the drive bay, does this part sound right to you? http://shop.lenovo.com/us/itemdetails/0A65623/460/89555ADB1CE946DA80E0E5D6FE77B164
This would be used for the HDD and the SSD would be moved to main HDD location.
Is there anything else we should know about these laptops?
Thank you in advanced for your time and all suggestions are welcomed.
Cheers,
Chris

Help needed for THE decision

Hi everyone ☺
I’m finally planning to start recording what I play, and after some hours of wandering on the web I found some interesting possibilities. Now what I need is to decide which one is more suitable for my needs, and here comes the moment for apple discussions
Basically, I will record my own music one track/instrument at a time (I’m still not able to play more than one…and I dont’ want to spend 2.000$ to buy a 24-ins device just to record drum tracks), I’d like to have a software with built-in effects for guitar/bass/voice, integrated soundtrack possibilities (to play with video recordings), mixing options for both stereo and surround mixing, and I don’t want any card to be placed into my mac. Well, and obviously the sound quality must be pro-like…as anyone probably wants.
So, here’s what I came up with:
a) getting logic pro studio 8 and apogee duet
b) getting pro tools m-powered and mbox 2
c) getting one of the two softwares and a Monster iStudioLink Instrument cable and plug instruments directly into the mac
Now, the questions are:
if I can plug an instrument directly into my mac and control all parameters via one of the two softwares, what do tools like duet and mbox2 serve for?
In the case this tools are useful [ ☺ ], why ☺ … and which is the couple software/hardware that can best suit my needs?
I assume that every software has a proprietary file extension in which audio tracks are saved, so that it should be impossible to record an audio track with one software and edit it with another that has different functions/plugins (ex. from logic to pro tools, from pro tools to cakewalk sonar which I have on a pc etc.). Am I right, or is there any “standard”, non compressed high quality file type in which track can be saved and exported to be edited with different softwares?
I know that from this post it may easily seem that I’m a hopeless digital idiot, but I swear the situation is not really that bad so no need for the kind of explanations with drawings like the ones you find in the “for dummies” guides lol so every experts’ advice will be greatly appreciated

Thank you Bee Jay and Pancenter for the lighting-fast and useful answers
now I am aware that an interface IS NEEDED lol (that means they are not produced without a reasons, are they?). I know Pro Tools is the industry standard but I don't like anyone/anything to tie me to their choices/interests (so that's why I was asking about Pro Tools, knowing that there's some sort of "hardware threat"). What I look for is just quality and if I understood what you both mean, as far as this aspect is concerned, Logic and Pro Tools are substantially comparable...isn't it? On the interfaces side, I already checked the Saffire ones (they seem quite good, and cross-platform use is definitely a plus), I will check the others mentioned and will let you know In fact, I didn't consider the "platform problem" but, as I wrote, I also own a PC with an Audigy 2 soundcard (midi/analog/optical/digital inputs/outputs and firewire port...not Madonna's private studio, but not as sad as Mac's little hole) and Sonar 6 Producer Edition, so that has been a really good point to ponder. And now, in the middle of this software/hardware battle...any personal suggestions based on tests/personal experience?

Disk configuration and workflow help needed for lab video workstation

Hi All,
Setting up a video editing workstation for a research lab that will use Premeire to edit AVCHD Progressive clips (sometimes with 2 streams side-by-side, but usually single-camera) and export them to .mp4 for later viewing by video coders. We won't be using AfterEffects or adding anything to the videos other than some text (titles, maybe sub-titles).
The other purpose of this workstation is to act as a file server and backup system for other machines in the lab. Coders will be viewing the exported videos via other networked machines and working with Microsoft Office files that will be stored on the workstation's other HDDs. I'll have a physical backup drive and cloud backup via CrashPlan.
I've built a machine that is probably overkill, but the client (my wife) wanted it to be "fast," and the purpose of the machine might change in the future:
i7-4770K (overclocked a bit)
16GB RAM
Asus Z87-Pro
GeForce GTX 660
I have the OS (W7) and programs on a 256 GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD and currently have two 1TB Velociraptors to use for the Premiere workflow. I'm trying to figure out how to proceed with the purchase of the rest of the drives, and I want to keep the Premiere drives separate from the large storage drives from the lab that are networked and synced to cloud backup.
Following the recommendations for a three-disc configuration I've picked up on these forums, I could set it up like this:
C: (256GB SSD) (OS, programs, pagefile)
D: (1TB HDD) (media, projects)
E: (1TB HDD) (previews, media cache, exports)
F: (4TB HDD) (backups of media, projects, and exports and storage of other research files)*THIS DRIVE WOULD BE SHARED ON THE NETWORK
G: (4TB external HDD) (backup of F & drive that backs up to CrashPlan)
but it seems that would be a waste of the speed of the second 10k velociraptor. If I added another SSD and RAIDed the Velociraptors it would be:
C: (256GB SSD) (OS, programs)
D: (Two 1TB Velociraptors in RAID 0) (media, projects)
E: (256GB SSD) (media cache, pagefile)
but would I then need to add another dedicated HDD for previews and exports, or could I store those on the networked F: from above (which would be previews, exports, backups of media and projects, and storage of other research files) without taking a speed hit?
It seems overkill to have a dedicated drive for exports and previews (let's make that the new F:), then have them copy to the first 4TB drive (now G:), then back that up to the second 4TB drive (now H:), then back that up to CrashPlan. However, people might be accessing that network drive at any time, and I don't want that to slow any part of the video process down.
I appreciate any advice ya'll can give me!

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the encouraging response. I'm leaning toward the non-SSD option at this point.
To make sure I understand, are you suggesting I try using the Velociraptor Raid 0 in the 2 disk configuration suggested by Harm's Guidelines for Disk Usage chart? Like this:
C: (256 GB SSD) (OS, Programs, Pagefile, Media Cache)
D: (1TB x2 in RAID 0) (Media, Projects, Previews, Exports)?
Where I'm still confused there, and in looking at Harm's array suggestions for 5 or more drives, is how performance is affected by having simultaneous read/write operations happening on the same drive, which is what I understood was the reason for spreading out the files on multiple drives. Maybe I don't understand how Premiere's file operations work in practice, or maybe I don't understand RAID 0 well enough.
In the type of editing we'll be doing (minimal) aren't there still times when Premiere will be trying to read and write from the D: drive at the same time, for example during export? Wouldn't the increased speed benefits of RAID 0 for either read or write alone be defeated by asking the array to do both simultaneously?
Maybe the reason the Media Cache is on the SSD in the above configuration is because that is what will be read while writing to something like Exports? But that wouldn't make sense given Harm's chart, which has the Media Cache also located on the array....
Another question is, given that the final home of the exported videos will be on the big internal drive (4TB) anyway, could I set it up like this:
C: (SSD) (OS, Programs, Pagefile, Media Cache)
D: (2TB RAID 0) (Media, Projects, Previews)
E: (network shared 4TB HDD) (Exports + a bunch of other shared non-video files)
so I don't end up having to copy the exported videos over to the 4TB drive? Do you think it would render significantly faster to the RAID than it would to the 7200 rpm 4TB drive? I'd like to cut out the step of copying exported videos from D: to E: all the time if it wasn't necessary.
Thanks again.

Help Needed for T42 Start-up Problem

Urgent help need!!!
I have a ThinkPad T42 with Windows XP installed. It works perfectly for a while without ever have any problem or error message. Then suddenly it won’t work anymore. The symptom is following:
After power on the laptop the Microsoft window would show up and it prompt me for window logon password. After I type in the password it then shows “window is loading your personal setting”. After a long while nothing would show up on the screen other than the background of the normal screen. There is no window bar at the bottom or any icon on the screen. If I start in safe mode then everything would show up. I don’t know what is going on.
This happened two months ago and I ended up restoring a backup image to get it work again. It happens again today with the same symptom. I am really tired of having to restore image backup every 2 months.
I would really appreciate it if any of your experts can offer me some insight into this problem. I am desperate in need of help.
Thanks very much!

wangy26, welcome to the forum,
Have a look at this thread to see if my post there helps. The problem seems to mostly occur at the start of a month, why I don't know. Unfortunately the member didin't report back whether or not this was a viable solution for them.
