Version 6.0 running under Win 7 - non-alphabetic characters typed appear as something other than what I typed -- É for question mark for example.

Forward slash appears as lower case e-acute é, question mark as upper-case É. Some, not all shifted numerals also map differently. Shift-3 for instance is forward slash instead of hash symbol.
I played around with character sets - various unicode and western sets - this resolved the problem in an earlier FF version, even after I`d reverted to what I started out with ( I can`t even remember what the default is now.) It was also suggested elsewhere in this forum that the problem could be resolved using the Region and Language settings in Windows Control Panel. This is obviously wrong, because the keyboard is working fine in other applications. It was also suggested I try to resolve by activating the language toolbar in the taskbar, but the option doesn`t even show up so I assume it was never installed.
My judgement this problem is definitely not OS, but Firefox.

See:
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306993 - HOW TO: Use the Language Bar in Windows XP
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/The-Language-bar-overview - The Language bar (overview)
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.<br />
Windows remembers that setting per application.
* Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar.
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar.
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application.
* The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
* To avoid an unintentional switch assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)
* Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence

Playlists containing songs with titles starting with non-alphabetical characters do not get transferred at all

I was really happy about how the desktop manager lets me choose the songs from my itunes library by playlists! this is smart! I'm also happy to see the playbook render asian characters properly (unlike my experience on the bold!)
However, I have a lot of songs which have titles that begin with non-alphabetical characters, ie asian characters. For all playlists which contains such songs, those songs do not get transferred onto the playbook AT ALL. For example, I have one playlist which contains only songs with titles beginning with asian characters - this playlist was transferred but it is shown as containing zero songs! When I browse my song library by artist/album, I can find all those songs that should be in that/those playlists.
Can this be fixed?
thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

as it turns out, it kind of got fixed by itself. what i did (i think, since i have not definitively verified) was i went to browse "all songs" wherein i noticed all thoses songs starting with asian characters seemed to show correctly. then i went back to the playlists in question, and viola!
clearly there is a bug or two in the music player somewhere regarding these title characters. but rim has more urgent things to resolve i guess - like my auto screen lock is still not working!

I updated Itunes today to the latest version. Windows 7 64bit. None of my drivers work and get an error when itunes starts, about registry setting for reading and writing dvds and cds missing. Anyone else have the same issue. I downloaded itunes again, reinstalled still have same issue.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Thunderbird running under Win 8.1 with Defender does not download attachments and offline content.

Thunderbird on Win 8.1 with Windows Defender is not downloading attachments from my roadrunner email account. It does so when running under Ubuntu 12.04 though. On Windows no attachments are shown. Also on Windows there is content that is not shown, I know so as there is an empty box. Then there is no option to download offline content. How may I use Thunderbird to read my email if it won't display properly? I trust the source of these emails as they are from the legal department of my former employer. I asking for the content to be resent does not work either. Please help me.

[SOLVED] Steam fails to run under Wine

Hello,
Recent Ubuntu -> Arch user here, so go easy on me!
I run Steam under Wine. Once it logs in, the main and update news windows appear, and so do '$FRIEND is currently playing $GAME' boxes. That's all fine, until Steam completely dies/disappears a second or two later. It looks like it just can't find a load of necessary libraries; I know the files don't exist, but should they? If not, why is Wine looking for them?
As far as I know, all Wine dependencies (incl. optional) are installed. The Gecko extension too. I searched far and wide and installed whatever lib32 (including lib32-catalyst-utils) packages I could find in relation to Wine problems. The 64-bit Catalyst drivers are installed and working.
I did follow the wiki and I did search on Google, these forums and the bug tracker, but nothing has worked.
$ uname -a
Linux pr0scarch 2.6.36-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 10 20:32:37 CET 2010 x86_64 AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1055T Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
$ wine --version
wine-1.3.10
$ cd ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam"
$ WINEDEBUG=warn+all wine ./Steam
Due to a measly scrollback of "only" 5000, I didn't get all of the log, but I think this is 99% of it and that it might contain relevant info: http://www.resiiign.com/~coconut/steam.log
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Select Query to fetch rows that contain non alphabetic characters

how to select rows from a table (tab1) where a specific column (tab1.col1) has non alphabetic characters

hi,
you didnt specify which version you are using.
if you are working on oracle 10g you can use regular expressions like this:
select * from tab1 where regexp_like(col1,'[^[[:alpha:]]]');

Deleting/replacing non-alphabetic characters

I'd like to delete any non-anlphabetic characters in a given string, so I figured the following:
for (int i=0; i < aString.length(); i++){
                    if (!isAlpha(aString.charAt(i))){
                         char c = aString.charAt(i);
                         aString = aString.replace(c,' ');
          }Which doesn't work, and I don't understand why. (Ideally like to delete this char c, but replacing it with whitespace will I think also do)
Anyone any suggestions?

how about using regular expressions?
Here is an example using posix notation:
public class Repl
    public static void main(String args[]){
        String a = "Aghewuz2nknl7kj%\"dsk";
        // here any non alpha char is replaced by a space
        System.out.println(a.replaceAll("[^\\p{Alpha}]", " "));
}{code}

Non english characters innavigation menu like "ä" on others servers then .m

In iLife06 iWeb used insane names on html files when I used non engelsh characters.
In iLife08 it keeps the characters like Frågor.html but it does not work when running on a non-.Mac server.
The generated file is:
Frågor.html
The problem is when you have a item in the navigation bar,
The request get translated to :
Fr%C3%A5gor.html
And you get the error message:
The requested URL /FrÃ¥gor.html was not found on this server.
I tried to change the name in iWeb to Fragor and then correct it in the file Feed.xml (so the user would read the corract name) but then I just get Fr?gor
I tried to pu .htacces file in rott on my server directory with the UTF-( comamnd but nothing works.
Except for the navigation meny I can get around it.
Help!

Could you provide your url?
It seems like things should work if you change to Fragor and then republish and reupload.
If your server won't accept these kinds of names, it may not be possible to have them presented totally correctly to the viewer.
Some other ideas:
A utility for fixing filenames with accented characters is available here.
http://sschoenb.blogspot.com/2007/08/iweb-and-umlaut-characters.html
You might try putting an .htaccess file in your web space with the entry "SecFilterEngine Off" and/or "SecFilterCheckUnicodeEncoding Off" and "SecFilterCheckURLEncoding Off" (without quotes).

Will PSE 5 run under Win 7 64-bit?

Running Windows 7 64-bit on notebook would like to run Photoshop Elements there I have it running on desktop computer under Windows XP. Will PSE 5 run on the notebook?

I just noticed that my reply to you was in reply to your answer to a question I posted Dec 3, 2013.
I thought your repley was to a similar question I posted this week. Since my notebook had a short life the same question has come-up again.
Today I decided to upgrade PSE 5 installed on a Dell, Latitude E6400 notebook running Windows 7 32-bit. I am waiting for approval to download PSE 13. I wonder if this upgarde will work. When I start PSE 5 the Welcome screen appears but when I click Organize the Organizer doesn't load. I can enter the Editer. I printed SysInfo and noticed it thinks the OS is Vista not Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit which is what I'm running.
What do think?
I also have a desktop computer on which I would like to run PSE. It has a 64-bit CPU, and Win 7 Home Premium installed. When I Start PSE 5 the Welcome screen appears, but that is as far as I can go. Neither the Organizer nor Editer will load. I thought I might run PSE 5 inside a Win XP virtual environment.
What do you think I sould?

DAQ program compiled under Win2k won't run under Win 95.

When I compile a LabView 5.1.1 vi program that uses lvdaq.dll on my Windows 2000 workstation, that same program will not run on a Windows 95 notebook computer. Error code 21 (external subroutine could not be found) is reported for all standard DAQ vi's calling functions within lvdaq.dll even though the dll can be found in the program directory, the system directory, the vi.lib\daq directory, and via the system path. The same program compiled on a Windows 95 workstation runs on the Windows 95 notebook computer just fine. Why is lvdaq.dll not found when the program is compiled under Windows 2000? Do I need the same version of NI-DAQ on both computers?

Larry;
If you are doing NI-DAQ function calls on your VI you need to match the NI-DAQ version on both machines, otherwise, depending on what functions you are calling and what are the NI-DAQ versions, you might get some errors. Just for future reference, this procedure is good for NI-VISA (if you are using VISA VIs) and NI-488.2 (if you are using GPIB boards) as well.

Opengl games to be run under wine?

Hi all, does anybody has a list of opengl games made for windows?
I'm asking because it seems that they run very well in wine with little or no overhead, while dx games suffer from a good 25% penalty.
I tried Unigine in opengl, and it confirms that.

How do I choose a specific version of IOS? I'm doing app testing and I need to test a version other than what iTunes provides as the latest

I am testing applications and I want to run an IOS version that is not the latest version offered by iTunes. ex: Plug in my iPod Touch and the latest version of IOS being offered in the update option is version 4.2. I need to test v4.1. How can I download and downgrade my device?

Downgrading iOS is not supported by Apple. You may find workarounds on other web sites if you do a web search for such information, e.g. "downgrade iOS". You can links to Apple's direct downloads for iOS 4.1 here, among other places:
http://www.redmondpie.com/download-ios-4.1-final-version-for-iphone-4-3gs-3g-ipo d-touch/
though there are no guarantees as to how long Apple will continue to have those available.

Opening a Powerpoint in JSP and run under Linux

Hi,
I need to have a JSP page that provides a link to open a powerpoint file and this JSP is to be run under Linux. When I try to click on the link in Linux to open the powerpoint, it gives me a lot of junk characters. Can somebody please help mi, thanks a million!

You have the mimetype for the HTTP response set to something other than what will make the browser start a powerpoint viewer and direct the content of the HTTP response to it.
In your jsp use the setHeader(String key,String key) method to set the value of "Content-Type" to the mimetype for powerpoint.
Of course the users must have browsers that are configured to launch a powerpoint viewer or plug-in. If you provide the correct mimetype and peoples browsers desn't have this, then they will get the "save to file" dialog box.
