Help Needed: 5.1 PC and Cons

Hi,
I have just bought a Creative Inspire GD580 from eBay as they've been discontinued and its the only place I could find one. And I've come across a problem, I've got a X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card an I'm using the Optical port for my Xbox 360 and the surround sound works perfectly, but I have to use the Digital Out port, using the Coaxial cable supplied, but of course it's only out putting at 2., is there any way that I can get my pc to encode on the fly everything into AC3 so that it outputs at 5.
Or is there another system that I am able to buy that will allow the optical cable from my 360 and the surround sound from my pc to be connected to the same speakers? (I don't mind having to keep swapping). I know there are other sound cards out there that support Optical Out but I'm much prefer for it to be a Creative one, if there is such a thing?
Thanks.

SirDigby,
You can get the DTS-60 to encode on the fly.

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 in redoing networking and home entertainment

I realize that this is a site dedicated to all things Apple, but I am hoping I can't get some honest and impartial help on building the best home network and entertainment system.
I currently have an XP Media Center desktop computer in an office of my home where all of the network stuff is at and is connected via ethernet. I also have a Mac G4 MDD 1.0 that I am using in another room for Adobe Creative Suite to do my own promotional items and I have about a 50' Cat 6 cable running back to the router in the office. I also have a Vista laptop that is connected wirelessly but believe it is only a "g" network? I don't really use this a whole lot but take it out to job sites and such so there is information I need to send back and forth to my external drives hooked up via ethernet to my router. I am in the process of getting a new MacBook Pro as well.
I have a PS3 hooked up to my home entertainment center but unsure of how to make everything work the way that I want. Here is what I would like to be able to do. 1) Networking of all computers and external drives, 2) Operate my Mac G4 Wirelessly, 3) Addition of internal bluetooth to G4 so I can get a wireless keyboard and mouse, 4) Ability to play iTunes from external hard drives on home entertainment center, 3) Ability to stream media from internet and hard drives to HDTV in home entertainment center
I am looking to upgrade my router to dual band with either the Airport Extreme or the Netgear WNDR3700. I don't know which to get and have found about the same amount of pros and cons for each on the web. Any suggestions and why?
Do I need an Apple TV or a Netgear WNHDEB111 or other Digital Media Reciever???
What else would you recommend to accomplish my goals and why do you recommend the part and brand that you do.
Thank you in advance for any and all assistance I can get.

Hello, I will gladly assist you with these steps. Have you already set the printer up physically? Are the ink cartridges set in and the printer is ready, just waiting to be downloaded to the computer? If you still have the CD that came with the 8600 printer, all you have to do is place the CD in and click SETUP. This will guide you step by step to install.
Now the tricky part is how you want the 2 PC's connected. You can go USB (hardwire from printer to computer), Wireless (set the printer up on network and PC on network with NO cords attached, or you can go Ethernet (a cord going from the printer to the router).
Let me know how you are able to connect, and I can guide you through those steps.

Help needed-Regarding pricing procedure and tax inn configuration

Hello Friends
I have a new scenario in sap mm-
i have to do teh customizing in 2 days please guide me up.
my company SAY :A is in india imports material from parent company B in america.
This A company some times gets material from local vendors in mumbai. where VAT and CST comes into place.
we are using use tax INN configuration for this.
ther are Customs duty, there is no excise duty as everything is just imported., edu cess, CVD,and freight charges etc.
can you please decribe me in detail the pricing procedure required for my company A which is in india.
and the customization of TAXINN.
any information will be really helpfulbecause i am struck on creating condition types.
Help me SAP GURUS>>Please..u wil be my life saver..

Hi Aravind,
For domestic purchase Vat & CST are applicable. If it is intra state VAT is used & if it is interstate CST is used. These condition types have to be manitained in the TAX procedure.
JVRD - I/P VAT
JVCS- I/P CST.
we have maintained condition records for both these condition types along with the tax code in FV11. In the case of import purchase, you need to maintain seperate pricing procedure for import which will include ,
JCDB - BASIC CUSTOMS DUTY
JCV1-CVD
JECV-EDU CESS
J1CV- SEC EDU CESS
JEDB- IMPORT CESS
JADC- ADDITIONAL CUSTOM DUTY.
All these conditions will be available in PO item level & you need to maintain % for these conditions. Hope it helps.

Help needed re document properties and tracing edits of the contents

Hi there,
We are in a situation where we believe a document may have been edited unethically and need to find out what the terminology means.
The original document exists in print and we have been sent a 'copy' of the same document via email several months later.
The date created and modified, however, is very recent.
We know the document has been altered as it is different to the original and are trying to find out when exactly it was modified.
It is an acrobat document created on a Mac. In the document properties box it says 'Application: Word' so I guess that means that they created it in Word and saved it as an Acrobat file?
It says the date created is 05/06/14 and the date modified is 05/06/14.
Does this mean that the file's content has been changed or does it just mean that it has been saved etc?
Any help very gratefully received!

You can't really say anything. Files don't start out as PDFs, they start out as something else like a Word document.
So, if you have the Word document, you can make a PDF any time.
Edit the Word document any time, and make another PDF.
Also, computer dates can be set by anyone any time. Dates in a PDF can be changed (though not by Acrobat, but it isn't rocket science). If you are looking into this from a legal point of view, dates on a document are worthless.
Digitally signed documents have value provided they are signed in particular ways.
Acrobat has a compare document facility, but all this will do is confirm the changes.
To be honest, it sounds more as if they send you a new copy from the Word document, when it was asked for. Someone might have changed the document in the mean time, without tracking the changes in a way you'd have wished.

Help Needed with wlst distributeApplication and deploy weblogic 10x

Looking for help on missing steps...
Trying to distribute an application .war from one host (adminServer host) to all cluster members.
I first distribute the app which appears to work:
PackagePath = '/opt/wls/domain1/deploy/app1.war
clusterName= 'SomeCluster'
myapp = 'app1'
distributeApplication(PackagePath, targets=clusterName)
I then execute a deploy cmd, pointing to where the distributed application should be on each host:
deploy(myapp, PackagePath, targets=clusterName)
At this point everything completes without error, but on the admin Server console I see two deploys now for app1:
1. app1 is deployed and active
2. app1.war is deployed in Prepared state with the status as distribute Defferred.
Im guessing #2 is there from the distributeApplication call... how do I deploy the app after executing the distributeApplication call?
Thanks

Help needed working with layers and exporting from acrobat3d

hi, i am repostng this message becaus eihad no success last time, and I am working under a tight deadline for a school project. any help will be tremendously appreciated
I received an Acrobat 3d file with a model that was originally created in CATIA v4 embedded in it.
I need to export the model for use in rhino. Currently the model size is enormous as an IGES that Windows runs out of memory when attempting to open. This is a bit wasteful since I do not need all of the model, I just need a layer of it. I noticed that when exporting to IGES you have the option to export hidden or not, and I have hidden the layers i do not need (via Isolation) and still I get the whole file.
Is there a way I can do this? export the file With the layers under the model tree? or is there a way I can delete a layer? or how can I make the hidden object feature work when Exporting IGES as not to get the things I dont need?
I read that you can open the model in Toolkit to edit it but it wont let me, open it... no "edit 3d in toolkit" option and when i open the pdf in toolkit it says unknown file....
is there a way i can open the embedded model in CATIA again?
thanks for the help

Please email me your contact information at [email protected] and I might be able to help you.
Thanks.

Help Needed re:Spry Tooltip and render issue with XP

I have an issue with spry tooltip and XP not sure why ?
Here it is I am designing/building a website for a restaurant, I am making use of the spry tooltip on the menu page as a rollover for a larger menu image to appear, which it does. Everything is cool in Vista etc. but if you are using XP for some reason the rollover effect only works once and then no more until the page is refreshed which is really annoying and certainly not the effect i am looking for. I know this is occuring because of this line of code :-
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7"> which I need to keep in.
Does ANYONE know a quick fix ? or ran into this problem before ?
I am sure the attached .JS file is the key to fix.
Thanks in advance
Andy....!

This is one of those situations you may need to see to believe,
whats happening is only on an XP IE8 browser which the ******** client is looking at (what are the odds)?
On newer systems and other browsers NO problem:-
You bring up the menu page and mouse over spry triggers and it works PERFECTLY, but only ONCE when you try again the cursor flickers as the trigger is engaged and nothing is revealed? I am sure the spry is working but somehow it is being hidden from rendering correctly as if trapped behind another image or on a delay, and then when you mouse off maybe 500ms later the image flickers into view and dissappears almost instantly. (an obvious error of some sort)
This only occurs when I place this source code in the head tags:-
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7">
Without code works fine, but I need to include this code for it to look as it should cross browser.
Ask me anything I will help as much as I can but right now I am at a loss !
Thanks in advance
Andy....!

Help needed - new to Blackberry and not very techy - calendar problems

I love my new Blackberry Curve 9300 BUT tried to synchronise Google calendar to Blackberry calendar. For some dates I have 100s of duplicated entries and they are recurring to infinity it seems. Have tried everything but seems the only solution is to completely clear the calendar but unable to find out from anywhere how to do this. I tried via desktop but states that it is read only data and so can't be deleted. I need to delete 6000 entries LOL
Help! Can someone just give me a phone number as have searched internet for help and no solution to problem. Calendar completely useless now and feel like throwing it out of the window...and then stamping on it 6000 times (as many times as there are erroneous entries on my calendar!!!)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE IS THERE SOMEONE I CAN PHONE WHO WILL TALK ME THROUGH THIS

Hello 123tracye and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you are having Calendar sync issues with your BlackBerry® Curve™ 9300 smartphone.
You can call your mobile network carrier for walkthrouh assistance with this request and if needed, they can transfer you to Research In Motion® .

Help needed with Boot times and performance.

Hi everyone, after two weeks of getting nowhere i gave up and here i am. I have an S10-3 which i am struggling with. As the post title indicates perfomance is (how can i put it) slow. We are talking 15/20 minutes to boot and when i finaly get to Windows its pretty much unusable. Ended up corrupting the recovery partition with my (lets say limited experiance) and have so far proceede to try and install Win XP/Vista/7 with all the same problems unable to install/slow/slow. I think what i am looking for is some pointers on wiping the HDD clean (completely) and some info on how to get a running install of pretty much any Windows that perfoms in a manner that allows me to acctually do something productive. On a plus point i did install an extra Gig of RAM allthough this made very little difference. Thanks in advance for any help offered as i am completley stummped.

Help needed in XML encoders and decoders

I'm using XMLEncoders and XMLDecoders for storage of java objects. Currently I've tried on simple data types only. But the problem is if I want to operate on the XMLEncoder created file from two different programs, then it is giving errors. In one program I'm executing
XMLEncoder e = new XMLEncoder(new BufferedOutputStream
(new FileOutputStream("polledobjects.xml")));
e.writeObject(...);
e.writeObject(...);
e.close();
and in another program I want to append to append a few more objects in the same polledobjects.xml, so I created another XML encoder object and opened the polledobjects.xml in append mode.
XMLEncoder e1 = new XMLEncoder(new BufferedOutputStream(new
FileOutputStream("polledobjects.xml",true)));
e1.writeObject(...);
e1.writeObject(...);
e1.close();
Now, Decoder works fine till the point it goes thru xml portion created by the first program, but as soon as it reached xml portion created by the second program, it gives the error->
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 2
at java.beans.ObjectHandler.dequeueResult(XMLDecoder.java:272)
at java.beans.XMLDecoder.readObject(XMLDecoder.java:150)
at Convert.main(Convert.java:57)
XML file created is :-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</void>
</object>
</java>
I know it is giving problems b'cos it is encountering <?xml tag 2 times in the same xml document, but what should I do if I want to append in the same xml file and in the second program nothing more than filename is known...
plz. help me out....

In the below code hope "append" method may help u solve ur req.
