W500: using the switchable graphics with vista ultimate without the power manager software?

seriously, invest in a new hitachi travelstar 320gb for 49 bucks from that tiger place online and a usb hard drive caddy, pop in your free clonezilla cd and your rescue and recovery problems will be over!
after reading all the problems with that software i figured my data was too valuble to get caught in that mess so for under 75 bucks problem solved and i rid my w500 of that bloatware. even cheaper then ordering the recovery disks from lenovo.
working on getting rid of the rest of the useless software now.
hey question, how do you use the switchable graphics on the w500 with vista ultimate without the power manager software? if you can thats next!!

That's because you are asking a T500/W500 question in the Thinkvantage forum. Anyway, the answer to your question is in this thread.
ATI recently started packaging their switchable graphics driver together with their regular Catalyst. So downloading their latest driver Catalyst 9.4 from the ATI/AMD site and then modifying it with the Mobility Modder will allow you to use switchable graphics without the power manager. The little problem is just that the released version of the Mobility Modder stopped working with Catalyst 9.2 and you are on your own getting a modified Modder working on 9.4, see here.
So I decided not to make more work for myself staying on a modded Catalyst 9.1 and for the time being living without switchable graphics.

How can I use itunes store credit with Apple TV without the credit card code?

I would like to allow guests in my home to use the credit in my iTunes account to purchase movies and TV shows on the Apple TV in my guest room.
Unfortunately, it seems that in order to make a purchase they will need my credit card security code. If they have this, then they could purchase an arbitrary number of movies, but I would like to limit purchases to the credit in the account.
Is there any solution here? How can I give my guests an Apple TV "allowance" (not a monthly allowance, a one-time allowance) and not give them my credit card security code?

You can't really do this with an already existing AppleID from what I know. Now, if you don't have an AppleID, here's the run-down of how to do it:

Am using PS Elements 8 with Vista.The print menu shows: "Paper Type:Unknown".I want to use glossy photo paper.How do I do this ?
Veblen

Make sure the Printer is installed on your machine. If the printer is not installed on your machine the paper type will come as unknown.
After installing the printer :-
1. select the printer in the "Select Printer" setting.
2. In the Printer setting option click on "Change Settings" button.
3. Select the paper in the "Paper type" dropdown list.

Flash in Firefox with Vista Ultimate Works a while then stops working until restart

I recently got a new computer with Vista Ultimate. I
downloaded all the patches and installed the latest versions of
Firefox (2.0.0.4) & Flash Player (9.0.45.0). I have the
following add-ons loaded in Firefox: Firebug 1.05, Greasemonkey
0.7.20070607.0), Tab Mix Plus (0.3.6), Talkback (2.0.0.4), DOM
Inspector (1.8.1.4). This is the process that happens.
1) Connect to the computer in questoin using RDP
2) Launch Firefox and go to a site like Youtube or MySpace.
It works great. Everything plays that I click on.
3) Disconnect from RDP and reconnect.
4) The Flash plays never work again. They will typically
start a show for 2-10 seconds and then just "halt". This is every
movie I view off of either YouTube or MySpace. Even if I close the
Myspace & YouTube tabs and open them in a new clean tab.
If I close Firefox and reopen it everything starts working
again. Again this appears to work until I disconnect from RDP
again.
What is going wrong here? What can I do to fix this or upload
data dumps so this can get fixed?

T61 with Vista Ultimate WON'T replicate CD/DVD like R61 with XP Professional - - - HOW DO I DO THIS?

Tried to copy a CD on new T61 with Vista Ultimate preloaded. Did this with no problems on an R61 with XP Professional. The HELP files say to copy all data to a directory and then copy them to a blank CD. This is NOT what I want or need. It also mentions that OTHER software to do this may be obtainable. I KNOW that Lenove uses ROXIO in its CMD line interface as a brand new system gave me the BSOD when inserting a video DVD and Windows Media Player coughed and died. Took about 3 hours to return to factory settings on a machine I had just customized. Is this another "feature" from Microsoft or what? Can you load ROXIO or other software to DUPLICATE CDs and DVDs. Have the dual layed DVD/CD RW slim ultrabay drive. Who makes this drive anyway?

HL = Hitachi LG and Panasonic are the two that i know of.

It is possible to store the time in user variables. How to export those variables depends on the deployment of the file.

    </packagedDependencies>
I put the 2 files into my ane build folder and into my adt command line, but when I try to build the app I get an duplicate symbol error... so i took them out.

Hi Ranendra,
For basic understanding of Dashboards and Models you can use standard Templates or samples which ll come along with dashboard designer(Formly Xcelsius) installation.
For path File-->Templates(or Samples).
Under Templates you ll have different categories and for each you ll find the dashboard Templates.

AUDIGY 2 ZS doesnt works with vista ultimate

The problem is, when i try to install the drivers SBAX_PCDVTBETA_US_2_2_000, this message below appear to me:?"Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system.Please ensure that your product is properly installed beforerunning this Setup program.Setup will exit."?The point is before this, Vista tries to find the driver to my Audigy 2 ZS without any success... So, any body knows some solution for this?ThanksByron

I have the same problem with Vista home premium. I've tried every driver possibilities, I reinstalled the original disks and then the Vista beta drivers and my card still isn't being recognized. My computer can play sound but all of the advanced features of my sound card are unavailable.

Looking at the error message "The Network Adapter could not establish the connection" , It appears hostname and port may be incorrect. Review the targets.xml under E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\SAP_solman_SDB\emd and
emoms.properties under E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\SAP_solman_SDB\config folder to make sure host ( sap_solman) and port (1527) are correct.
As far as setting the environment variables goes, you can go to control panel -> system -> advanced -> environment variables and set the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID

What would I gain in terms of defying (deferring) obsolescence by purchasing a top end 15" w/the dedicated graphics card as opposed to the top end 13"? thanks!

I have a circa late 2007 all-black 13" MB with 2.2 GHz Intel core 2 duo, and It still works well
thinking of the 13-inch, 2.6GHz dual vs the 15-inch: 2.3GHz quad core.. and I was hoping to repeat the 2007's longevity

Do not spend today's money for features you will only use tomorrow. Buy the computer you need today, and when your needs change, buy the computer you need then.
A computer has no art value. It is a commodity tool that should help you do the work you want to do right now.
Who could have guessed that PowerMac G3 would be made obsolete by ... YouTube.

Since you don’t allow emails any more – I suspect because of the numerous complaints with your service and the way you treat people that you don’t want documented, I am calling and I want this call recorded for future reference.
I have been a long time faithful customer of vzw and although the past year I have been late on payments many times and really couldn’t afford your exorbitant prices for services lots of other companies offer sometimes three times cheaper than what you charge, I have hung in there trying my best to meet my obligations.
This month has been no exception. You don’t know the background; the whole story of people’s lives. I know you could care less because all you care about is the profit-the money that comes in.
I was told when I agreed to pay my bill on the third per the recorded message that I had 14 days to pay…you cut me off anyway. The phones are not the tissue; your suspending my service means I cannot work. I may lose my job…how do you justify that? In any case? The least you could do would be to keep 4986 on and cut the phones off. But no. You refuse to compromise and meet the basic needs of your customer. What does that say about your company? I tried to call back on three separate occasions to tell you I couldn’t pay because of unexpected expenses but couldn’t get out of the automated system…sadly couldn’t get to a real person which also speaks volumes to me.
All this tells me this is a company I don’t wish to be affiliated with any more. As soon as I can, I will discontinue service with you…I know you could care less. I will honor the remaining portion of the contract but that’s it. You don’t deserve my business. I am a good, hardworking person who, at the sacrifice of myself and my needs, always pays her bills…albeit late at times. I realize others tell you stories and lies to justify themselves. That’s not me. If you knew what I had been through the last 7 yrs you would marvel that I am still on my feet…don’t judge too quickly. You could be wrong…and in my eyes you are by doing this to me.
God will see us through this extremely scary time of that I have no doubt. No thanks to your company and lack of understanding and mercy. I am doing the best I can. Sadly you are not.
See I have choices. MANY choices of providers for services you offer. I don’t have to be treated like this. I don’t have to succumb to your coldness and callousness. I intend to choose better (and cheaper). If your company doesn’t get the “people factor” back you will be sorry.

Problem here is you admit you cannot afford the service.
And you want to blame Verizon for losing a job because you have no cell phone.
If your job depends on that phone I would pay it on time every time if you need a job to pay your bill.
No other service is going to treat you any different. And if you cannot afford Verizon's monthly invoice how are you going to afford new devices, activation fees, possible security deposits on any other cellular carrier? You can't.
Also if you made an arraignment to pay and then decide you cannot do so, why should Verizon extend you service or credit, or why is it you want to use the service and data and not pay for it as agreed.
Get a prepay phone. Its evident the cost is too high for you to afford on post pay.
Good Luck
