OpenAL, Every game install that uses it overwrites it with an older version.
Hello, I have a Auzentech Forte using Daniel_K's latest Auzen pack driver set which has as far as I know the newest version of OpenAl (2.1.0.0 dated /9/2009).
Most games that I install that use OpenAl like Unreal Tournament 3 want to install their own, and it seems like it just overwrites the install folder in program files (just a Folder named OpenAl with the exe inside it) with its bundled version which is usually significantly older and then runs that (the version in add remove programs changes too so its just being overwritten it seems)
Is it common practice to just replace the file with the newest one after every game install that overwrites it and then re run (install) it's Windows 7 makes it easy by just right clicking the file and selecting "Restore Previous Version" and then running that.
Are there major differences between versions aside from age? Like is the version bundled with games a pure software version of OpenAl, and the one that comes with the Drivers a hardware implementation?
Thanks
P. the installer is in same shape how rest of OpenAL project and many other things around ...
sad to watch
Creative Labs never explained what's new in the 'drivers only' OpenAL 2..0.0 installer
versus the OpenAL website latest 2.0.7.0 installer.
and people are surprised that game and software developers are just ignoring OpenAL or leaving after supporting it in past ...

Anyone have the problem I'm having with the Safari collecting cookies even when I'm not on a website? I cleaned everything out and checked several times. Each time cookies were added that I've never seen with my older version of Safari. I have the block third parties and advertisers but I don't think it works. Here's a sample of what is popping up: 247realmedia.com, 2mdn.net addthis.com, admeld.com, adsafeprotected.com, adsonar.com, bit.ly, bluekai.com, bluelithium.com, bluetoad.com bondware.com.......... over 100 things without a clue where they are coming from. Especially since I'm not on any webpage! How do I report a bug? Is there a way to fix this?

You can't win, the government, advertisers, social sites, search engines and devices makers are all in cohoots to profile everyone.
Live off the grid and have your freedom or tell everyone your business and let them mold you, there is no "in between", try as you may they just come up with new stuff to watch you, through your web cam, via the hidden microphone and even can turn on some cell phones microphones too.
You may be paranoid, so is the government, and they got more money, power and resources at their disposal to act on it.
Erase the whole hard drive and reinstall, if you can't do that, trash the entire machine and go read a book.

Testing an application that uses adobe acrobat pro with a trail version
Hello,
I have a program that references Adobe Acrobat Pro. We previously were using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 8 and would like to upgrade to the newest version. I downloaded a trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to test the program with, but I get an error when trying to create an adobe object. The error says that it cannot create the object. In doing some research I've found that this is likely a result of me having an unregistered version of Adobe Acrobat Pro on my machine. It is unregistered since it's the trail version.
My question is, am I able to test that the program will work with the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Pro without having to buy it first? We would like to be sure it's working with the new version prior to buying licenses for the version for our users.
Thanks,
AaronHi Rave,
The error that I am getting is "Cannot Create ActiveX Component". It's occurring when I try to create the object "AFormAut.App". Below is the line of code that is throwing the error.
_formapp = DirectCast(CreateObject("AFormAut.App"), AFORMAUTLib.AFormApp)
Thanks,
Aaron -
I have been organizing my photos in iPhoto and have written descriptions for them. In the past, with an older version of iPhoto, I would burn a CD. When I would put the CD back in my computer, the description would also be on the CD. Now, I am burning the CD's and there is no record of the description. This is very important as I want the information stored with the photos, both for my own reference, but also if something would happen to me my family would know who are in the photos and what the occasions were. Is there some way I can do this? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Ok, sorry! I created an album with the photos I wanted to burn. I gave them new titles, sometimes using batch change when appropriate, otherwise individually. I then clicked on info and in the area labeled description I gave each photo a brief description. When I was done, I went to Share and clicked on burn. When prompted I inserted a blank CD-R in my external CD/DVD burner (which I need to use as my internal one has been replaced twice in less than a year and I was sick of spending $150.00 each time). When it was loaded I clicked the burn button at the bottom of iPhoto. When it was completed I reinserted it into the external CD/DVD burner/reader to see if it was successful. The photos all came up with the new title in my iPhoto library. When I click on info button, there is no description. The information about the date and place where the photo was taken is there, just not the description that I personally included.
I have not tried exporting the photos to finder and then burning as they suggest doing if you want the CD to be readable on Windows program, but I never had to do that with my old iPhoto program, so did not know if that would make a difference.
I can't think of any other information you might need, but if I missed something let me know and I will try to include it. Thanks for your interest in helping! -
In the old version of Firefox I could save all my open tabs when I shutdown Firefox but now with the new version it does not give me that option to save the tabs before closing Firefox.
You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle with a double left-click.

My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box but that didnt help.
I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses). For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files. To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties. On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white. Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected. Now try adding the artwork again.
Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12). See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again. -
I get missing plug-in error when opening my online bill which is in PDF format. I am using a 2010 Macbook with the latest version of Safari and Adobe suite installed in my computer. Why do I get this error? What should I do?
In relation to my previous inquiry regarding inability to view a pdf file using Safari...
Is it possible that I can view other online bills from other website but not this particular bill from one specific website?
Sorry if I missed any important point in this article -->Apple Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader/Acrobat Advisory
Thanks again! -
Hello guys..does anybody know how to install and use adobe master collection with the new lion?
I need to use Flash and illustratore, but apparently those programmes are incompatible with the new operative sistem...
I am a new mac users and I'd like to know if there are other similar programmes I can use with lion!Lab79 wrote:
Are you on Apple's payroll?
well dude I can only let you know that as I work with those programme I don't have to pay for it is my company that pays the programme I whant to use( that's why I was asking if there where other programmes ..that I could use with lion insted that Illustrator and Flash!)..I know Adobe since 2005 and I can say that Adobs products are very good...I think that if it's an Adobe probleme or fault ..they will solve it very soon...but unfortunally I have the impression that after Jobs passed away Appel decided to change politics..and everything started to go very bad! (see FCP X)..
good luck with apple dude..
Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
<The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

Delete statement that uses a sub-select with the statement in the cursor
Hi all,
How to write write a delete statement that uses a sub-select with the statement in the cursor?
CURSOR excluded_dates IS
SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP(report_parameter_value, in_date_format_mask)
INTO my_current_date_time
FROM report_parameters
WHERE report_parameters.report_parameter_id = in_report_parameter_id
AND report_parameters.report_parameter_group = 'DATE_TIME'
AND report_parameters.report_parameter_name = 'EXCLUDED_DATE';
OPEN excluded_dates;
LOOP
FETCH excluded_dates INTO my_excluded_date;
EXIT WHEN excluded_dates%NOTFOUND;
DELETE FROM edr_rpt_tmp_inclusion_table
WHERE TO_CHAR(date_time, 'mm/dd/yyyy') = TO_CHAR(my_excluded_date, 'mm/dd/yyyy');
END LOOP;
CLOSE excluded_dates;ThanksHi,
In such case I think is better to create a view an perform the delete using it. Example (using HR schema):
Connected to Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
Connected as hr

Hi!
Would like to find out how a Pages document might be opened by a recipient that only has a PC with Windows and Microsoft Office. Is there a conversion program?Making changes to PDF file: Apple Support Communities
Have just noticed this in a thread today. The link from Klaus1's post may allow you to use PDF and work on it. I haven't tried it but it may give you some extra ammunition. -
I downloaded the new version of pages about a month ago. Today I tried to open documents that I created and saved with the new version and received a message that I needed to download the new version. The app store shows the download. HUH?!?
I'm not sure what you mean by it making accessing files more complicated. I have both Pages 4.3 & Pages 5.1 icons in my Dock as well as Numbers 2.3 & Numbers 3.1. I continue to use the iWork '09 versions for my everyday needs. As long as the new versions are in your Applications folder & the '09 versions in the iWork '09 folder, Software Update will not have a problem updating them even if Apple should come out with a new update for the '09 versions.
Because I have moved the new versions to an external drive & renamed the apps because I want '09 to be the default apps, I do have to remember to move them back to my applications folder & restore the original names before updating. But since you like the new versions this "complication" doesn't apply to you. -
Specifically, I am trying to open brokerage statements with Charles Schwab. I go to the link using Firefox and click and all I get is a blank box with ABOUT: BLANK in the header at the top. Yet, I had no trouble viewing the statements with the older version of Firefox and I also have no problem viewing the document using Internet Explorer. Any help you can offer is appreciated. I would rather continue to use Firefox as my browser and not have to use IE.

With the older version I was able to print a playlist of 24 songs that would fit on a case. The print was single-spaced on the older version, but on this version, the print is double spaced and it no longer fits on a case. Does anyone have an answer?
No other solution at this time. Are you using iPad or iPhone?
iPad - I can understand why you ask. It's too bad you can't sync PDF playlist. Right now the only way is to use Sugarsync. From there you can "Open PDF in iBooks". Or you can use Goodreader.
iPhone - Why would you want to use iTunes and iBooks? Although iBooks is well designed and handles PDF very well even on iPhone, it doesn't have text-reflow feature which makes PDF reading useless on iPhone unless you want to loose your eye sight soon. So the only way is to sync a folder using Sugarsync. You can access Sugarsync from Goodreader.
