WinXP 64 Bit, Anyone tried yet????

Hi Guys,
Firstly, I fixed my problem I talked about in my last post.
Turned out the VGA Card was bad, I say bad, what I mean is, when you look at the card from the side (?) The contacts were worn out and wouldnt make contact with the VGA slot thus preventing the MB from powering up :o|
Beleive me, I was PISSED !!!!
Anyway, has anyone tried installing WinXP 65 bit extended version yet?
Would be nice to get some feedback as I have a copy and would like to find out if it is worth the hassle??
Not sure if there are enough drivers around.
I know that a few things have been left out of the system by the people at Mikey Soft.
What with the 32bit subsystem, have heard that 32 bit applications run slower than if i installed on regular XP ??
oh well.

The first time you re-installed Win 32 on the raid that was a bit drastic. A repair ought to have done the job.
The problem was probably that you disconnected the array but that's where the boot.ini was and that file needed to be modified to add the path to the Win64 install.
Since you took out the array the Win64 install created a new boot.ini on the PATA drive. Even when you tell BIOS to boot off the array, Windows has a bad habit of looking at the IDE channels & using the boot.ini if it finds one there - but the file it found didn't point to the array of course.
So basically if you already have Win32 on the array I would leave that array connected normally when installing Win64 on the PATA drive and all should be well.
I've installed Win64 on the same array as my Win32 install and they co-exist happily. I reckon that's the most efficient way to do it. The main thing is to make separate partitions for Win32, Win64 and data files when you install Win32 in the first place. The two OSs can share the same data files, incuding stuff like email.

Has anyone tried installing BC2.1 for Vista 64-bit in the Safe mode?

Before I go ahead, has anyone attempted to install the BC2.1 64-bit update for Vista using the Safe mode?
The thought occurred to me earlier, and before I bothered, I was wondering if it had been tried yet by anyone?
As with most others with Vista 64 bit, the exe runs, asks for permission and then dies. Not even a whimper

I attempted to install the BC2.1 in the safe mode, but it still did nothing.
In the normal mode, viewing the Task Manager, when I click the update, after a long while the Task Manager shows a message, something to the effect, "BC2.1.exe is waiting for administrator approval."
After I check the box in the approval window that it's OK to run, the warning in the Task Manager disappears and nothing reappears, meaning the process died.
The system logs don't show very much, but I did not bother too much with them.
This is an issue that Apple has to address. I am confident that they will.
Meanwhile I will post a note on the developers board about it.
http://developer.apple.com/contact/
I presume when it's fixed, the update will show up in the Apple Software Update window, just as the XP update appeared on my other MBP.
Until then, it's just a bit annoying.

Oracle 11g install for WinXP 64-bit - is 32-bit client needed?

I just saw that the WinXP 64-bit version of 11g is now available.
Does anyone know if it is necessary to install both the 64-bit Database and 32-bit Client on the same machine for a development server. This was the procedure for 10gR2 as the 64-bit ODBC drivers would not work with 32-bit ODBC apps.
Thanks!

I submitted a TAR/SR on MetaLink...
Yes... you need both.

Anyone tried SheepShaver PowerMac Emulator?

Last week I had a old FH8 file that would not open in FHMX.
FHMX kept
crashing. (Probably a font problem.) Because my PowerMac G4
will still run
Classic OS, I was able to fire up FreeHand 8 and open the
file without
difficulty.
I'm a bit worried that when I get an Intel Mac, I won't be
able to rescue
some of my old files.
Has anyone tried running older versions of FreeHand under
SheepShaver on an
Intel Mac?

No.
Some time ago I asked a similar question on Adobe's ATM
forum, and while
no one had any experience with Sheep Shaver, their advice was
to just
keep an old Mac around that boots into OS 9.
ATM is required and doesn't even work too well under Classic.
But since there won't be any more versions of FH and even MX
runs well
on G4s, why upgrade at all?

Has anyone tried a 3rd party laptop cooling pad?

I have had my macbookpro 2.16 for about 2 1/2 weeks now, temp averages at about 40c during what i normally do, but the base of it is still too hot to comfortablly use on my lap. I have been using a large book as a buffer for the heat, recently I saw some 3rd party cooling pads with fans in them, running of USB power, has anyone tried one?

I use Vantec Lapcool 4. It folds and quite small for transporting (fits nicely into my bag). It uses 2 fans powered either by USB or by AC. Also adds 4 USB ports.
It makes about 10C defference. Since it keeps the case cooler and MBP doesn't build up heat like it used to, so works quite well.
The only con I've found is that the MBP slips a bit on the pad so I bought a package of small, clear, self-adhiesive, non-slip rubber cushions to put on the bottom of the lappad (~$2@Home Depot). Now MBP sits securely without any slippage.

Anyone tried the next-day-retail-pickup option for an iPhone 5?

Has anyone here tried the next-day-retail-pickup option for an iPhone 5?
Has anyone tried it - but still not gotten one?
Right now I have my iPhone 5 ordered online through Apple.   It's not expected for a few more weeks, alas.
Two days after I placed that order , Apple announced that you could order online after 10pm for next day pickup at a retail store.
I called Apple to ask if I could simply "convert" my existing order to a next day pickup.
I was told that I'd have to (1) cancel the online order (2) maybe wait a day for my upgrade-pricing eligibility to reset and THEN (3) place the order online after 10pm.
BUT - she also added that even the next-day-pickup orders were subject to stores' inventory.
So, I called my local store to ask about availability.   Rather than telling me anything about their current inventory, the gal there just repeated that I should order online after 10pm.
Of course, the entire point of my doing this would be to reduce my wait time (not roll the dice on MAYBE reducing my wait time.)
Yet apparently my only option is to "step out of line" with my existing online order before I can even see how long the line is for in-store pickup.
If it turns out I'll have to keep trying again every night after 10pm in the HOPE that maybe this time there'll be an iPhone 5 available for the next day, then I go from my current 2-3 week wait to a god-only-knows-how-long wait, with nightly online order attempts.
There's no way for me to adequately express my distaste for this catch-22 without using verboten language.
If anyone has an idea how I can TRY the next-day-pickup trick WITHOUT first squandering the 2 weeks I've already been in the online queue - please let me know.

i have the same dilema brian. Does anybody know how many reservations there are a day?
What are the odds of getting a space?
I might as well enter the x factor phone in and hope i win!!! f'ing joke.
I'm going to phone local store and ask how many iphones are sold each day.
Meanwhile wait 4 weeks for online order. Ha!

Anyone tried the new Weblogic Scripting Tool (WLST)?

Has anyone tried using the new WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) that was recently
posted on the dev2dev WebLogic Utilities site: http://dev2dev.bea.com/resourcelibrary/utilitiestools/adminmgmt.jsp
It looks to be a handy tool that is built upon jython and enables you to easily
navigate, inspect and manipulate the WebLogic MBean tree on a running server.
It also has a nice scripting tool which allows you to convert a config.xml file
into a script that can be run to recreate a domain or specific resources within
the domain. This is exactly something I have been looking for because we occasionally
recreate domains or subsets of a domain for testing and POC purposes.
The utility is fairly well documented and works well for the most part. The only
issue I have run into so far is that is does not seem to understand JMS Distributed
Destinations. When I try to convert a config.xml that contains a DD to a script
it throws a null pointer exception. I have not tried a cluster yet.
I noticed the utility was authored by someone at BEA. Is there potential that
BEA will support this in the future if it catches on? Has anyone had experience
with WLST or jython that would cause you to reccomend (or not) using it?
Thanks.

Darryl,
Thanks for the valuable feedback. My comments are inline.

As a fairly long time wlshell user who recently started testing wlst there are
few features I have found lacking in wlst.
1. For monitoring purposes I am frequently using the -g and -r options to wlshell's
get command for graphing and repeating respectivelyI haven't looked at -g and -r options in wlshell, but will do so.
Although there is no graphical monitoring of attributes in wlst, but
there is certainly some monitoring capability (which will be enhanced
further in the coming version). Please take a look at the
monitorAttribute() function.
wls:/(offline)> help('monitorAttribute')
Description:
Monitors the specified attribute every by polling every interval.
Syntax:
monitorAttribute(attributeName, interval, monitorFile)
attributeName = Name of the attribue that you would like to monitor.
interval = Time (in seconds) to wait before the next fetch
monitorFile=[optional] File path where the monitored data will be
written to.
Example:
wls:/mydomain/runtime/ServerRuntimes/myserver/ExecuteQueueRuntimes/weblogic.kernel.Default>
monitorAttribute("ServicedRequestTotalCount",10)
Press Return to quit monitoring
Monitoring started for attribute ServicedRequestTotalCount
wls:/(offline)>
>
2. wlshell 2.0 adds the option when connecting to the admin server to also connect
to all managed servers in that domain. This is a nice feature for monitoring because
you then have access to all the runtime mbeans in each managed serverYes, this indeed seems to be a very nice feature. We will consider this
for our next release.
>
3. There is not a good way to pass cmd line options(variables) to wlst. In wlshell
I can send cmd line options via -v. I have tried something similar with wlst using
-loadProperties but this is a little laborious because I do not necessarily want
to create a properties file when a passing in only one or two variables. Also
I find loadProperties lacking somewhat (see 4 below)ok, I just realised that there is indeed a bug in wlst where the command
line arguments are not being honored. In Jython one can access the
command line arguments from the sys.argv variable. For example,
java weblogic.WLST -i foo.py var1 var2 var3
Initializing WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) ...
Welcome to Weblogic Server Administration Scripting Shell
Type help() for help on available commands
wls:/offline> print sys.argv
['foo.py', 'var1', 'var2', 'var3']
wls:/offline>
But this isn't working properly, please keep using the loadProperties
untill this has been fixed.
>
4) loadProperties treats all created variables as strings. While this is understandable
from the perspective that getProperty returns a string, it would be nice if wlst
was smart enough that when a property is numbers only its an int, otherwise a
string etc.
wlshell does this logic/conversion for you which really simplifies calling methods
that expect the particular datatype. To get around this problem you can create a script file say,
variables.py which would look like,
# variables that will be used
theInterpreter.set('var1',10)
theInterpreter.set('var2','i am a string')
java weblogic.WLST variables.py
Initializing WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) ...
Welcome to Weblogic Server Administration Scripting Shell
Type help() for help on available commands
wls:/(offline)> print var1
10
wls:/(offline)> print var2
'i am a string'
>
5. I'd like to be able to send cmd output etc to a file while running within wlst.
In wlshell its a simple as adding >> filename to the end of the command. In wlst it is not as simple as doing >>, it is more than that. You can
choose any output stream to direct your output to. In your case you can
create a FileOutputStream and route the output to this stream for any
particular command.
Example,
# create a file output stream say fos
from java.io import FileOutputStream
fos = FileOutputStream("output.txt")
# save the default output stream to a variable to
# switch it back
sys.stdout=fos
# Now all output for any function will go to output.txt
ls()
cd('foo')
# after done with your functions switch it back
sys.stdout=origOutput
This is the right Jython way to do it. This works for all output streams
, very useful when you embed an interpreter in a servlet and would like
to display the output via a PrintStream etc.

All in all wlst is a nice tool. Personally if the above features were added it
would be much easier to transistion to wlst for good.
Also I really like the wlst offline tool. Its nice to be able to do the whole
create and configure domain process with one tool. Will this be supported. Yes indeed. We are working on merging both the tools into one.
I do
not want to rely on it too much if it will not work in future weblogic versions.It will be supported in future release of weblogic.

Has Anyone tried to use DDE through Applets

I would like to update a client side opened Excel file via the web using DDE ( Windows protocol used to cut and paste between apps ) and an applet.
I guess that the level of security of the sand-box will limit the interaction with the excel application unless the applet jar is signed and certified.
Has anyone tried to develop such application ?
I didnt go through all the DDE technology yet and I am just wondering if there are some great difficulties to overcome.
Any "difficult to find" hints are welcome
Thanks

Thanks for the hint. A good one as I did not know this link.

Directx on WinXP 64-bit?

Hello I just built my AMD64 system but I can't seem to find a version of DirectX that is compatible with WinXP 64 bit. Could anyone point me or perhaps there is none? Thanks for your time.

WinXP64bit already has directx with it ... it installs when you install the OS .. its the only version they currently have so you have to put up with it until they release a newer version
hope that helps & happy computing

Website mp3 not playing WinXP 64-bit using Firefox but plays using IE

I have a website with embedded mp3 soundtracks that work fine when using IE but not with Firefox (latest version.11Beta). Have tried all the suggested plug-ins to no avail. Running WinXP 64-bit
2003 SP2. Video & soundtrack works fine on other websites such as u-tube.

That's because Firefox doesn't support playing mp3 files. It will play them if they are contained in a Flash audio or video player (like youtube) but not by themselves. If you are using the <audio> html element you can define multiple source files. Here are some instructions from our developer website - https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_HTML5_audio_and_video You can create an Ogg audio file that will work with Firefox by using a program like Audacity - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

NewEgg: " Memory returns allowed for 30 days, subject to 15 percent re-stocking fee. "
So YOU are the expert about which are the correct modules. a mistake costs you 15 percent plus shipping.
I prefer to do business with mac-centric vendor who lend me their expertise and tell me what memories work in my Mac, "Guaranteed or your money back."
OWC is one that does business that way.
Data Memory Systems does as well, and that is the outfit I use.
The last 1333 8GB module like these I bought from them came with a large flat heatsink installed. I put it in my Server. The price has fallen a bit since then, and now they are asking US$78, but "Guaranteed."

Anyone tried striping two G-SATA arrays on PCI-express G5?

A sales guy at GTECH told me I could connect two of their G-SATA arrays with a four-port adapter card, stripe the arrays and get increased performance over a single G-SATA array. I understand the theory behind all this, but given that the G-SATA arrays and the adapter cards are brand new for the PCI-Express G5's, I'm wondering if anyone has yet done this in the real world.

I'm buying a new quad core G5 so I can update to Final Cut Studio. I'm currently running FCP 2 on a dual 533 G4. I edit mid- to high-end corporate videos and the occasional low budget commercial. I'll probably work in 8-bit uncompressed or DVCPro 50. I own a DVCPro 25 camcorder and DVCPro deck with SDI. I plan on getting the Kona LSe card.

WinXP 64 Bit, Anyone tried yet????
