Tecra 8000: No memory area available to communicate with PC Card

I have a Tecra 8000 running Win98 SE and use a 3Com PCMCIA Card for my Internet Connection. I was troubleshooting my computer on another issue and in the process disabled the PCMCIA Toshiba ToPIC Cardbus Controllers. After enabling these again I am no longer able to communicate with the PC Card and therfore cannot connect to the Internet.
PC Card Troubleshooting Agent states: 'Windows is not able to identify or use the inserted PC Card Device because there is no memory area available to communicate with this device. You must make a memory area available before this device can be used. Check your computer's CONFIG.SYS file for a memory manager that is excluding upper memory regions between A000 and FFFF'.
My Cardbus Controllers are set as follows:
1.Memory Range - 0C000000 - 0C000FFF
2.Memory Range - 0C001000 - 0C001FFF
My PC Card (PCMCIA) Properties are as follows:
Card Services Shared Memory:
Start 000C0000
End 00FFFFFF
Length 00001000
Whilst the PC Card Modem is being recognised in the Port it cannot be communicated with and the error message is shown as follows:
'Error 666: The modem is not plugged in or is out of service. Connect a modem to your computer and try again'.
When I run Modem Diagnostics there is no response except for the following:
'Open Comm: Couldn't open port'
Any help or advice will be much appreciated.

Hi Evan, I have had 2 PC cards damaged during bad thunderstorms in the past. Recently i helped someone to set up her Tecra8000 during another thunderstorm her new extension cable blew up silently! At first i didn't suspect it as the cable was brand new (cannot open port etc). Anyway, i tested the cable with a phone n it was dead and then i got a new extension cable for her from Argos the next day n it worked perfectly!
If ur card is broken then i suggest u get a Phonic PC card V.92 from PC World. It's only 14.99 n the connection speed is surprisingly fast 112.5k ! (I used to pay for 50 !) faster than my new fancy laptop, the internal modem can only connect at 44k !
Hope this helps. Let us know.
PS I have since upgraded her laptop from Win98 to XP, it works rather well on the Tecra8000 (so far so good, she even managed to get her new printer working under XP without asking for my help!). if ur laptop meets the requirements, it MIGHT be worth considering upgrading it to XP.

Log into each device with your own Apple ID's in Settings > iCloud.
Then, so you can share preiously purchased apps, log into both devices using the Apple ID used to make those purchases, but ONLY in Settings > iTunes and Apps Stores.

Java application communicate with java card applet without java card

Can I write java application to communicate with java card applet without using java card?
Can I send APDU to java card applet on computer(not install in java card)? If it's not, how can I write?
Best Regard,

Your JCOP simulator implements a JCVM/JCRE according
to specs. The CREF does that same thing excepts it's
only simulates the API without crypto or third party
applets. JCOP simulator is more then that. They are using thesame_ codebase for simulator and for oncard JCVM. Basically you are dealing with the same environment in both cases.

How to use a GPIB card's LabView drivers to communicate with the card?

I have an axiomtek AX4810P PCI-GPIB card and i have aquired LabView drivers from the manufacturer.
This has put VI's for the GPIB functions on the 'user palette' but i can't work out how to use them to communicate with the card. can anyone help? please.

LS,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
Unfortunately, since you are not using a National Instruments GPIB card, I do not have access to the drivers that were provided to you by your card's manufacturer. I would suggest contacting Axiomtek directly to obtain support using their drivers.
However, I did write a small VI that demonstrates how to use similar National Instruments drivers with a National Instruments GPIB card. Keep in mind, this example VI is not intended to work with your particular card. The drivers you obtained from Axiomtek may have similar functions, however, and you can use my VI as a guide. My VI allows you to send a command to an instrument at address 2 on the GPIB card.
Hope this helps!

Tecra 8000 Maximum Memory

This is one of those "Can I stretch my elderly laptop a bit further" questions.
I have a Tecra 8000. It has 256MB of memory in a single memory module in one of the two memory slots. There is therefore one slot free.
Can I put another memory module (probably 256MB) into the other slot to give me 512MB total ?
I have a downloaded product spec that says that 256MB is the maximum but it's dated April 2000 and it's not clear if that's some fundamental product limitation or just the maximum that Toshiba could supply in 2000. I have also encountered some PCs where these sorts of limitations were increased by later BIOS versions.
The laptop has the current BIOS (Version 9.3) installed.

Thanks for the post Juan.
You may very well be correct that 256KB is the limit. The only doubt in my mind is that this computer is already running with a single 256MB module in one slot and this size of module probably didn't exist in 2000 which is the date of the specification sheet that I'm working from.
The reason I'm chasing this outside possibility is that it would be a low cost way of extending the life of this laptop instead of buying another and so is worth a bit of effort on my part.

Not all iphoto pictures are available for sync with ipad2

Hallo,
I am a new apple user. Have iTunes latest version on my MacMini. Want to sync all of my photos from iPhoto to my iPad2. Problem: not all Photos are available for sync.
Why doesn´t iTunes see all of my Photos?
Thanks for answer.
Iceman21

It is not a problem of iPad2 because I have the same problem with my iPhone.
e.g.: I can see the event in iTunes but with 0 photos. So iTunes find the events but not the content???

Are there known issues with graphics cards?

I have an Intel Core i7 2.66 GHz with 8GB of RAM and a graphics card with
Intel HD Graphics
Type:    GPU
Bus:    Built-In
VRAM (Total):    288 MB
Vendor:    Intel (0x8086)
Device ID:    0x0046
Revision ID:    0x0018
gMux Version:    1.9.21
My screen occassionaly gets completely scrambled, where I move the trackpad and windows and other things will ghosted items will materialize in the background, though I am unable to click on anything or do anything, so I have to cut the power. This happens when I only have 1 or maybe 2 programs open.
Are there any known issues with the graphics cards on these Macbook Pros? Anyone know what might be causing it?
Thanks.

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

IBook "Cannot Communicate" With Airport Card?

My iBook had been out of use for a few months, but today as i stared using it my Airport card just will not work, the Airport icon just says "Airport not configured" also, when i try to use the Airport setup assistant, it just complains "There was an error communicating with your AirPort card. Please make sure it is installed properly and try the AirPort Setup Assistant again." Can anybody please help me out? i know it's old but my iBook is still great, and kinda defeats the object of a laptop being tied down with Ethernet!!!

HaHa! Sorted it!
Tried resetting the PMU, but didn't seem to do anything! Still had clock etc...
so after that just gave up....
However, i was messing around in the menus and changed my location from the Apple menu, and BINGO! Airport snapped into life and i was surfing again!
Seems the problem is with my Network Preferences just not working, but thanks for everyones help!

What free films and programmes are available with Select HD?

I am happy with FIOS, but rather disappointed that many 'free movies' actually are 'free with subscription.' I don't want to click a film and find I'm charged - but what free movies are available to those with Select, where TCM, HDNet, and LMN are not part of our channel lineup?

Not many. As a rule, if you don't have a channel in your package, the "free" movies aren't free. You can check available channels at the following link if you haven't already.

The "welcome to Thunderbird" pop-up keeps on saying "sorry were unable to communicate with our sign-up server", how do you get past the step and create a new em

I tried to turn off the firewalls to no avail and have, on multiple occasions tried to complete the setup for a Thunderbird email account and continue to get the same message, the pop up flashes in red "sorry we are unable to communicate with our sign-up server"
any ideas how you result this issue?

If it works, the sign up page will connect you to a 3rd party email account provider such as hover or gandi who will require payment. Is this really what you want to do, given that your ISP and other providers (gmail, gmx, hotmail, yahoo) will be happy to give you an account for free?
To connect an existing email address to Thunderbird, use the route '''File|New|Existing Email Account'''.

Javascript - available "classes" shipped with APEX 4.02

I am interested in a list of JavaScript "classes" that are available (delivered installed with the product) for APEX 4.02. Where can I get this list?
Example: I am currently using class="fielddatabold" in the HTML Form Element Attribute section. This is rather handy. I am sure that other classes are available that are as handy.
Any help is appreciated - thanks in advance.
Edited by: JohnS on Feb 29, 2012 11:29 AM

Those classes are CSS (style sheets) and not javascript.
They are different for each theme, although in newer themes I think it is getting a bit better. View the page source and look for all files with .css - you can view the styles there.

[SSIS.Pipeline] Warning: Warning: Could not open global shared memory to communicate with performance DLL

Hi All,
I am running an SSIS solution that runs 5 packages in sequence. Only one package fails because of the error:
[SSIS.Pipeline] Warning: Warning: Could not open global shared memory to communicate with performance DLL; data flow performance counters are not available. To resolve, run this package as an administrator, or on the system's console.
I have added myself to the performance counters group.
I am running windows 7 with SSIS 2008.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I have read that some have disabled the warning, but I cannot figure out how to disable a warning.
Thanks.
Ivan

Hi Ivan,
A package would not fail due the warning itself, speaking of which means the account executing it is not privileged to load the Perf counters, and should thus be safely ignored.
To fix visit: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2496375/en-us
So, the package either has an error or it actually runs.

SSIS.Pipeline : Warning: Could not open global shared memory to communicate with performance DLL

I am getting the following warning for my SSIS08 package:
Could not open global shared memory to communicate with performance DLL; data flow performance counters are not available. To resolve, run this package as an administrator, or on the system's console.
I did check Warning in SSIS 2008 , but didn't find any solution.
The package processes data and executes fine , but why do I see this warning? When I run this package on my machine, I see no such warning, it's only when I deploy it to our DEV SSIS server, I get this warning.
Thanks,
Sonal

You have to include the account you use to execute the package in the performance counters group.

Video Out - Tecra 8000

I have a Tecra 8000 with Windows XP Pro installed.
Everything works beautifully I have updated the BIOS to v9.3 - BUT I can't get the video out connections to work.
I have tried the RCA plug on the back, and also connected the SVGA dongle to the side jack and used the composite video out on that, but no signal seems to come out of either of them.
I have tinkered with the various different BIOS settings, used the Fn+F5 key all to no avail.
I have read in the forum here that others have the same problem, so I'm adding a plea for help with this one too. Can I ask, has ANYONE managed to actually get a composite video signal out of their Tecra?

Hi Peter
If your Tecra is preinstalled with Toshiba Recovery CD all drivers and tools should work properly. In this case there are, in my opinion, two possible reasons why this not works. Either is notebook the cause for this issue or there is some problem with the TV and TV setting.
Using FN+F5 key combination you can switch to external device. It will be interesting to know if this works properly with external monitor. It is not the same port but the tool is the same. You can also try to connect your notebook to another TV. It is sometimes not easy to say what the problem can be. If there is no way to have some success you need some professional help. Maybe the service partner can make a short check of composite video out port.

Tecra 8000 wireless link

I have obtained a Tecra 8000 with a 10/100 Network port replicator that will be used as a second desktop at home. On my main PC I use a Netgear DG834G ADSL wireless router (802.11g) for a broadband connection. What is the best way to make a wireless connection with the Tecra ?
There appear to be a number of cardbus adapters (eg Netgear WG511)or USB adapters (eg WG111).
Is the Tecra 8000 USB v2 or v1.1 ?
I could simply put the router close by and use the ethernet link but I would rather have the laptop away from the available phone sockets. Is it best to test the LAN connections etc in this manner before attempting the wireless link?
Regrettably I have cross posted this on the Tecra forum before I discovered this one. My apologies

I have the same router and use a Netgear WG511T...works very well. Just install the software that comes with the wireless card and plug it in...that's about it. You can then network the two computers together...if you're running XP on both it's pretty automatic (just run the network wizard on both machines).
You can of course hard wire your Tecra into the router...but as you say a wireless link is far more versatile and after all, that is what the DG834 is designed to do.
Make sure the drivers for the DG834G and the network card are the most up to date ones. You may have to reconfigure the router to allow a new computer to log into it...but that's not too difficult
