Notepad Snafu on SL500 with XP

My Notepad utility (an XP accessory) produces a black screen and the note:
NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction
CS:0e IP:021e OP:63 6b 73 6f 6e
So How can I fix this?

Right click on the my computer icon and look into the properties.You will find something like this if SP3 is installed
Cheers and regards,

Schema with carriage return

I would get the batch file with details of individual jobs as the output schema. The xml file looks alright. However when opened in notepad does not come with carriage return included.
I know that we can include child delimiter if it's an input flat file converted to xml schema, but no idea on output files.
Is there anyway we can include the Carriage return line feed in the schema so that when opened in notepad it's readable.

Assuming you're talking about the output XML rather than the schema; if you open the XML in Visual Studio press the following keys
<crtl>KD and the XML will be formatted with indentation (hold the
<crtl> key down while pressing both the K and
D keys).
If you want a simple command line utility to format XML for you, the following should do the trick (pass in the name of the XML file):
static void Main(string[] args)
XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
document.Load(args[0]);
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(args[0], Encoding.UTF8);
writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
document.Save(writer);
writer.Flush();
writer.Close();
NOTE: this key sequence also formats source code.

Lost ability to right click multiple files and choose 'open with'

In XP I can select a bunch of mp3 files, for example, right click and choose 'open with...' whatever application I want.
In windows 7 I only get 'open with' in the context menu on single files. How do I enable 'open with' for a selection of files? Please tell me Windows 7 hasn't disabled this useful behaviour.

Hi,
You can change the register key to realize the function.
For example, your mp3 player is windows media player, you can copy the following content (without quote) to the notepad and save it with the “.reg” extension.
The context is below:
Warning: While this procedure might solve the issue or problem, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk. For more information about modifying the registry, see Microsoft support article 256986.
“Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

"CLSID"="{09a28848-0e97-4cef-b950-cea037161155}" ”
You should change the bold text with the path of your player. After you’ve changed the key, you can right click the chosen MP3 files and choose “open with player” to play the music.
If you still have some problems, please post here.

Where to begin with databases

Hi
My next step is to create a database for my application. I am very confused wtih this subject, and I need to understand some primary issues.
first, Do I need a DBMS like Oracle or MySQL?
since many of my friends say : "You need Orcale or SQL" I answer "But SQL is a language" they reply "We dont know"!!? maybe they mean MySQL.
second, If we really need a DBMS, then is there any for free?
third, can't I create Notepad files and work with as a database?
can I use MS-Access?
last, and Inside java what packages we are gonna use?
Next week i'm planning to buy the Advanced Java J2SE book by Dietel and Dietel. Do you recommend it for this subject?

first, Do I need a DBMS like Oracle or MySQL?
since many of my friends say : "You need Orcale or
SQL" I answer "But SQL is a language" they reply "We
dont know"!!? maybe they mean MySQL. SQL, or Structured Query Language, is the language used by all relational databases. Oracle and MySQL are both relational database products, and both use SQL.
second, If we really need a DBMS, then is there any for free?Oracle and M$ SQL Server will cost you. MySQL, PostgreSQL, HypersonicSQL are all free. I'm sure there are others.
third, can't I create Notepad files and work with as a database?You mean store your data in text files? Sure, but you won't be able to use SQL to query, update, insert, or delete records. Flat text files are pretty old technology (think 60s/70s), before relational databases took over.
can I use MS-Access?Yes, M$ Access has a SQL engine inside it.
last, and Inside java what packages we are gonna use?Look at java.sql and javax.sql.
Next week i'm planning to buy the Advanced Java J2SE
book by Dietel and Dietel. Do you recommend it for
this subject?Absolutely not. I can't recommend that book for anything.

Little Backsaving Snafu

I ran into a little backsaving snafu when dealing with a client's CS5.5 file the other day I figured I would share.
The document barked at me with the missing plugins in standard fashion. I requested the client backsave the file (a 96 page instruction manual with around 300 various placed vector graphics). The IDML came in and I got similar barking from InDesign in a slightly different shaped dialog box with the same (slightly different count) plugin request. This time the dialog box rather than accepting the Okay button to dismiss the error persisted seemingly regardless of how many times I hit Okay.
Turns out a couple of the placed links were also CS5.5 InDesign files that were scattered about the document. The presence of the linked files precluded opening of the document. Several force quits, the download of the trial version of CS5.5 to backsave the links, open the links, convert to INDD 5.0, and a couple cups of coffee got me back in business.
Possibly had I hit okay a few hundred times it would have continued with the full conversion and brought up a corresponding few hundred "Failed to Import File" errors, but the human in me figured that after the first 50 or so unsuccessful Okay's to the plugin error that I would have to force quit to get rid of the offending dialog box.
Backsaving once again is a blast. Can't wait for CS6 so I can merit actually blowing the $5000 on upgrades. CS5.5 still brings doesn't bring enough to the table for our print workflow to merit the upgrade.

I suggest that you post a request for improving the error message here: wish It's likely since the incompatible version of the placed files is detected, it's possible to make the message accurately describe the problem.

Excel XML map problem with Greek characters.

Hi,
I created a dashboard with XML map connetion. My embeded spreadsheet is linked to an xml file which contains my TOP 50 Customers.
Customers names are in Greek so my xml Header is like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-7"?>
ISO-8859-7 is the Greek encoding for xml.
After embeding the spreadsheet into the dashboard i add a list component to present my TOP 50 Customers.
So far so good.
Then i add a refresh conection button to update my TOP 50 list. In preview mode everythinng works fine. But when i try to update my data by clicking the refresh button my list is updated but the customers names is turned to unidentified characters.
Is there any encoding problem or this is Xcelsius issue?
I use Xcelsius 2008 sp3 fp 3.2

You are right.
I opened the XML file with notepad and saved it with utf-8 encode, also changed the xml tag to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> and it worked fine.
I map it in Excel Spreadsheet without problems and after refreshing in Xcelsius the characters are diplayed normaly.
So, correct me if i am wrong, the problem is the file encoding, no the xml encoding.
Both, file and xml encoding should be UTF-8.
As i mentioned before my xml files are Crystal Report 2008 reports which are exported as text files with .xml extension, so i have to look for answers in other forum.
thank you

Help with some code

I am a complete newbe to programming in general but especially to JAVA. I just started a class to learn but the professor just assigns tasks and the book does not go into actually how to do any of what he asks. Of course this is an online class so there is no real teaching on his part either. What is wrong with my code. I have had to look at code online to try and figure this stuff out. I'm afraid though I havent quite got the jist of what the syntax is for JAVA so my understanding of all of this is very limited.
here is my code: (the way the forums message box works it seems to word wrap a little different then notepad++ so please bare with the lines that should be "//" and dont show it at the beginning. (example first two lines).
// My java app that checks to see if a number is even or odd and if it is between 1 and 1000. It also uses the JOptionPane to input and output.
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import java.io.*;
import java.lang;
public class numberChecker
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
try{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( "This is a Program to check whether numbers are even\nand if they are between 1 and 1000");
String name =
JOptionPane.showInputDialog( null, "Enter in a Number");
Integer.parseInt( String, name );
if (name % 2 == 0)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("Is %s even\ntrue");
} else {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("Is %s even\nfalse.");
if (name > 0)
if (name < 1001)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("The number %s between 1 and 1000 is true");
} else {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("The number %s between 1 and 1000 is false");
} else {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("The number %s between 1 and 1000 is false");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, name);
catch(NumberFormatException e){
JOptionPane.showWarningDialog(e.getMessage() + " is not a numeric value.");
System.exit(0);
};

i had updated the code to be this now:
// My java app that checks to see if a number is even or odd and if it is between 1 and 1000. It also uses the JOptionPane to input and output.
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.lang;
    public class numberChecker
        public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
    try{
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( "This is a Program to check whether numbers are even\nand if they are between 1 and 1000");
            String name =
                JOptionPane.showInputDialog( null, "Enter in a Number");
          Int valueToParse =
                Integer.parseInt( name );
                    if (valueToParse % 2 == 0)
                        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("Is ",valueToParse," even\ntrue");
                        } else {
                        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("Is ",valueToParse," even\nfalse.");
                    if (name > 0)
                            if (name < 1001)
                            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("The number ",valueToParse," between 1 and 1000 is true");
                            } else {
                            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("The number ",valueToParse," between 1 and 1000 is false");
                        } else {
                        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("The number ",valueToParse," between 1 and 1000 is false");
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, name);
        catch(NumberFormatException e){
        JOptionPane.showWarningDialog(e.getMessage(), " is not a numeric value.");
        System.exit(0);
        };Now i get a bunch of "cant find symbol" errors.

Notepad widget?

I'm looking for a good notepad widget, or a notepad application I can open on my desktop. I basically want something that looks just like the "To Do" widget, but lets me make lists and notes rather than dated to do items.
Here is an example of what I'd like to be able to do with the app: I have all my recipes in a folder in documents. I want to be able to open a notepad on my desktop so I can make a grocery list as I click through my recipes. Stickies are too small and don't lend themselves well to list making with super limited formatting, so that isn't working for me. I've also just opened a blank word document and toggled back and forth between the recipe document and the shopping list document, but to be able to see both simultaneously the windows have to be resized, and then I have to save the list in my documents to get it out of the way when I'm doing work, and then my documents folder gets clogged up with old lists that are unimportant, and I have to remember what the heck I named the stupid thing, because for some reason I always think there is a good reason to name it something other than Grocery List at the time I'm saving it.... In any case, this is just one example of the kind of list I make on a regular basis. I am a teacher so I make lots of lists for various tasks daily. I would like to have these lists in a separate app where they are easier to find and manage. I'd rather not have to switch back and forth from my desktop to my dashboard, but I can live with that. Any suggestions?
I should mention -- I've already tried ClassicNotePad and Secret Notes. Neither of them are what I'm looking for. ClassicNotePad is just ugly and I don't understand that huge blank space at the top that I can't type in...? And while Secret Notes functions very well, I don't like having to reenter my password everytime I click off the list. It just gets annoying.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

In case somebody has this same problem, I believe I have solved it but will take a little copy and paste work. I found the information under:
widget-com.stewarthector.notepad.plist
I then opened it with text edit and that only showed some of the information from like one of the notepads but I could tell that there were other entries. I then opened the stewarthector.notepad.plist document again with word and I have found all of my information. I will know just recreate the notepads by copying and pasting. Hope this helps.

SL500 " this program does not support this system"

I've an SL500 with windows 7 64bit system. It has a fresh system installed. I've installed all the necessary drivers correctly.Now I'm not able to install the followind items with system update utility:
Thinkpad ultranav driver for windows 7
Thinkpad hotkey features integration driver
Thinkpad Ultranav utility
If I try to install manually I receive an error message " this program does not support this system".
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had the same problem with Thinkpad hotkey features integration driver Version 3.84.1500
(and the latest version 3.84.2000)
It is a faulty installation!
2 Files missing.
Solution until Lenovo fixes the installation:
Download and extract latest version.
Download and extract version 3.81.0100.
Copy the files SWI32.sys and SWIX64.sys from version 3.81.0100 to the corresponding folder of the latest version.
Start setup.exe of latest version.
According to the file properties SWI32.sys and SWIX64.sys are used as 'System Information Detector'.
No wonder we get the error message 'this program does not support this system'
Lenovo, please fix it.

All of my programs are opened with Mozilla!

One day I tried to open a file so I used "open with"and selected Mozilla!then all of my programs are opened with Mozilla!actually it doesn't open just it opens a page of Mozilla!

This was entered in another question like it:
Try to open any familiar applications like notepad or any images with "open with" again. Then choose the exact program. After that do a Restart. Your problem will be solved. Do let us know If You are still facing it.

Iphone don't sync with itunes

Bug: Taskbar issue with Steam, pin steam.exe to taskbar will add a shortcut to L4D2.

I have a strange problem with the taskbar, I want to add Steam.exe to the taskbar. So I right click on Steam.exe and select "Pin to taskbar". For some reason Windows then will add a Left 4 dead 2 shortcut to the taskbar instead of Steam.exe.
Since L4D2 is launched by Steam I can see some logic in it, the shortcut to start L4D2 is <Steam.exe -applaunch 550>, but I think it's a bug that Windows will use some random cached call to a program when adding a shortcut to the taskbar.

Hrm how is this not a bug? I rightclick on stem.exe and choose pin to the taskbar and now everytime I click that icon L4D2 starts? It's like I want to pin notepad.exe to the taskbar and when i click that icon notepad would always start with some selfchoosen textfile...
And if it is not a bug how come when i do pin to taskbar on the real steam.exe-file I will get a L4D2 shortcut (not only icon but a real shortcut it will add -applaunch 550 to the shortcut). but if I do pin to taskbar on my desktop shortcut to steam it will add a steam.exe shortcut to the taskbar without -applaunch 550... Funny thing is that windows knows they are the same .exe file becuase I must do unpin before I can pin the other.
Do you still think this is not a bug?

SL500 - Enabling Hardware Encryption for Tape Drives

I have a SL500 with seven HP StorageWorks LTO-4 Ultrium 1840 tape drives. These tape drives have hardware encryption capabilities and several ways to configure the encryption settings.
In the white papers for the HP LTO-4 encryption technology (http://h71028.www7.hp.com/ERC/downloads/4AA1-4878ENW.pdf), all possible ways to manage the encryption settings are listed. One possibility, native mode encryption, is mentioned: "This method controls the LTO4 encryption from within the tape drive library. There is one key that is set by way of the library management interface (Web GUO or Operator Control Panel). This method encrypts all tapes with the same key, with the downside of negatively impacting the security level."
Does the SL500 provide any to do this?

We just got an SL500. When the Sun engineer was onsite, he mentioned an encryption capability. The way he explained it, there is an optional chip that needs to be purchased, as well as an encryption server. Once this is in place, encryption is easily done. If you were to have the same setup at a DR site, the encryption server would auto search for the encryption key whenever the tape is read. Seems to be a good system, but I have no experience with as we do not have that policy....yet

Count checkboxes with 500+ unique names

The form I am using a simple checklist, that was generated in Word and converted to a form in Acrobat, which is why it has so many unique field names.
I found the following solution but I am looking for something more elegant and that doesn't require me to enter each unique name.
I added the following script to the document level function :
function CountCheckBoxes(aFieldNames) {
// count field names that have been selected
var count = 0;
var cField = "";
// loop through array of field names
for(i = 0; i < aFieldNames.length; i++) {
// for field names with a value of not Off increment counter
if(this.getField(aFieldNames[i]).value != "Off") count++;
} // end loop of field names
// return count
return count;
} // end CountCheckBoxes
I also added text field with the following custom calculation script:
// var define field names to be tested
var aFields = new Array('uniquename', 'anothername...etc');
// count field names that have been selected
event.value = CountCheckBoxes(aFields);
In order to quickly add 500+ field names, I use a temporary field to grab all the field value by using Pick under Calculate sum. I then cut and paste them into notepad and replace the
with
then a copy the full text into the above code replacing 'uniquename', 'anothername...etc'
It works but it is lengthy and I hoping a code guru might have a smarter solution.

That's the former, not the latter...
Anyway, you can use this code, then:
var totalCheckboxes = 0;
var totalChecked = 0;
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
    var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f==null) continue;
    if (f.type=="checkbox") {
        totalCheckboxes++;
        if (f.value!="Off") {
            totalChecked++;
At the end totalCheckBoxes will contain the total number of check-boxes in the file, and totalChecked the number of the checked boxes out of them.

My Hard drive is completely wiped and I can not preform a system recovery by pressing f11 and I can not access Windows.
My question is why can I not successfully complete the recovery process?
