Your opinion needed

I ma doing gcse art and design graphic design in school. I always do my graphics in photoshop but had to do it in firework that day (dont ask!!). Plz tell me ur opinion of it, be honest!! this is my first ever try on fireworks, i never saw or used it before!!

Well, my design style is very different! I like more minimalist looks and I do Web sites that need to appeal to broad audience ranges. I wouldn't want to hamper your vision in any way.
I think your bright pop-art-style colors are a good fit for mp3 player packaging, though. Consider who the people would be that would buy an mp3 player. Many of them are your own age, so designing for yourself is designing for your customer base.
If you're just doing work for class, then you can probably pull images off the Internet, because only your teacher will see it. In general, however, no. In most cases, when someone makes an image (no matter how), they own the copyright and if you take it and do something with it then you've created a 'derivative work" to which the original image creator still owns the copyright. If you plan on entering anything in a contest or selling anything, then your work should be original from the start, or use base imagery you have permission to use.
Some images are "public domain" and available for you to use. Putting an image on the Internet does not make it public domain. The creator of the image must specifically say that he or she is releasing it as a public domain image.

And, all this copyright stuff applies to any artwork you create, too. Nobody can ever take it away from you; you have to release your work (or, if you're working for someone else, the copyright may be theirs).

N73ME Update: Your Opinion Needed

The current firmware version on my mobile is 4.0727.2.2.1
Each time a new firmware was released i really didn't want to upgrade to it bec of the bugs i heard it contained.
And now, with the release of this new firmware 4.0812.4.2.1, i really would appreciate your opinion, is it worth that i upgrade to this fw, or should i stick to mine (knowing that i have no complains about my fw).
Thanks alot in advance

if u dont have anyting to complain about ur current firmware den i would recommend u not to upgrade ur n73 firmware. Nokia have trully destroyed the N73 with these firmware updates for example musci player crashes, camera blue noise. etc

Your opinion needed - generating unique ID from a URL

I am currently making a web crawler type program and before rushing straight in and coding something I thought i'd gather a few "expert" opinions so to speak ;)
A crawler obviously takes a URL, downloads it and saves it in a database somewhere. However I need to keep a record of which URLs have been previously crawled - as not to crawl and recrawl the same URL.
Ideally I need to make an algorithm which takes a String URL and outputs a unique ID for that URL - no other URL would be assigned the same ID.
After a while researching I have ran into base64 which could take a URL and output a long String of characters. I have a question here though:
1. Is base64 always going to output UNIQUE IDs for every URL or is there a slight offchance you could have duplicates?
However even if base64 worked and it gave me the ID:
aHR0cDovL3d3dy5qYXZhLmNvbQ==
For the URL:
http://www.java.com
I still have to record it in a database and search for its prescence to determine if the URL has been crawled before.
So my question is:
Is there a way to construct a unique NUMERICAL ID for a URL?
This way, it would be much easier to find the record if all were sorted by their numerical ID number.
Hope I havent confused you, if I have just tell me!
Thanks
-Myles

I need a numerical representation of a URL as it would reduce the time to search for a URl to check if it had been previously crawled.BUNKUM! Sorry, but it is... you're talking about saving pooftenths of second on each database seek... but if you're web-crawler isn't inherently I/O bound (say what 2 to 5 seconds a page) then who's your ISP? and how much do they charge.
IE: Your barking up the wrong tree. Just use an MD5's, keep your "current site" in a hashset... for instance if was crawling http://forum.java.sun.com I'd load a hashset from the DB of that domain... crawl within it, and save the whole shebang back to the DB in one hit, delaying any external links until the end.. then load each of those "sites" and crawl and save them, again delaying any external links... and so on until the end of time in all probability.
And, sorry, you're reinventing the square wheel again... ever heard of jackrabbit?

Hey guys I was wondering do I need an anti virus software on my mac? I don't think I need it but as a first time mac user I wanted your opinion.

Just wanted to get your opinion.

This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an attacker who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there is another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications that are downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Applications certified in this way haven't actually been tested by Apple (unless they come from the Mac App Store), but you can be sure that they haven't been modified by anyone other than the developer, and his identity is known, so he could be held responsible if he knowingly released malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe. Note, however, that there are some caveats concerning Gatekeeper:
It doesn't apply to software that comes packaged as an installer. Treat all third-party installers with caution.
It can be disabled or overridden by the user.
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
It only applies to applications downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article.
Notwithstanding the above, the most effective defense against malware attacks is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. [Some reputable websites did legitimately warn users who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.]
“Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Java on the network (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related) is always a potential weak spot in the security of any operating system. If a Java web plugin is not installed, don't install it unless you really need it. If it is installed, you should disable it (not JavaScript) in your web browsers. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those obsolete versions has known security flaws that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. The flaws will never be fixed. Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java can never be fully trusted, even if no vulnerabilities are publicly known at the moment.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.

Buying a Macbook pro for the first time and i need your opinion

Hello everyone! I'm buying a Macbook pro for the first time and i need your opinion. I'm a Web Developer / Graphic Designer, and i need this macbook for my work. Currently i have these 2 options:
1) Macbook Pro with Retina (13")
128GB SSD, 2.5GHz Intel i5 Processor, 8GB Ram
2) Macbook Pro i7 (15")
Intel i7 2.6 Processor, 8GB Ram, 750GB HD
So my dilema is. Do i go for the newest 13" Macbook Pro Retina & SSD drive or do i go for the 15" Macbook Pro i7 non-Retina, non-SSD hard drive?
Help this first time Macbook buyer (me) to decide which model to choose

Your 2nd choice
2) Macbook Pro i7 (15")

is user upgradable. The Retina is not.
No matter what for your needs I would max out the 16GB of RAM

Packaging and distribution of EJBs - your opinion, please

Hello everyone,
I am working on an EJB-based commercial product. When done, it will be deployable on a number of application servers that use different XML descriptor files, with different content. Initially, these will be JBoss, WebLogic and Sun ONE AS v8.
I am pondering two different ways of distributing the product:
1. with a wizard-like GUI-based utility that will format the required XML files based on the user's input, build the EAR file from the preexisting components + the newly formatted XML files, and deploy the resulting archive in the server's application directory, or
2. hand over the component JAR and WAR files, with some skeleton XML descriptors, and tell the user to make their own, server-specific XML files, then assemble the EAR and deploy it manually.
While the approach (1) is obviously user-friendly, and would be voted for by the majority of users, I wonder how this is done by other vendors offering their EJB products. Also, it is entirely possible that I am missing some other (better? hybrid?) approaches.
Your opinion on this matter is highly appreciated.

I second to Jack's suggestion of using Hibernation.
I have been running Hibernation mode on my PCs and Laptops without any need to change any background options. Works great, especially on my laptops and resuming back to Windows from my PC is a breeze.

Your opinion on: BSP or Java Webdynpro or ABAP Webdynpro?

Could you please give me your opinion on the business scenario we have here:
We are implementing SRM 4.0 with backend R/3 4.6C, WAS 6.4 and Portal 6.0. SRM has its typical shopping cart applications mainly for procurement and the workflow trail displaying the approval. The client wants us to build a few custom forms on the web frontend of SRM (or may be in Portal). The idea is to store these forms and display when needed with the status info just like a shopping cart.
<b>Now the requirements for these forms are as follows:</b>
1. These forms will have multiple fields which need to have the F4 kind of help. (the F4 options will reside in SRM or R/3)
2. The form should have some kind of a ALV grid (autoexpanding feature) which will allow the user to put in multiple line items so that they could submit more items on one form.
3. Users need to be able to attach a spreadsheet to the form which should not be editable once the form is submitted. The attached spreadsheet should be stored. (We are planning on using Archivelink Filenet for this)
4. Upon submission, a workflow will be kicked off as per the defined Org structure for approval of the form.
5. After submission, the user should be able to go and view the approval status of the form and also print the summary of the values that he entered in the form. (may be a smartform could be provided for this)
We looked at different options to accomplish this task:
<b>BSP:</b>
Creating BSP pages and giving access as links to the user on the webfrontend of SRM. Now, if we go the BSP route, we need to develop in SRM as the R/3 4.6 c does not have BSP development capabilities. If we take this approach, I am not sure if all the above requirements (specially like attaching spreadhseets) will be met with BSP pages.
SAP Webdynpro Java:
It seems that the Webdynpro is easier to use because of the graphical tools available. But the only problem if we go this route is that we will have to find a java guy.
SAP Webdynpro ABAP:
We currently have WAS 6.4. As per the documentation, the ABAP Webdynpro development tool is available from NW04s onwards. So, we are still not sure if we could use it. But, we want to push towards upgrading if necessary. Being an old time ABAPer, developing ABAP Webdynpro seems do-able. (i know it may not be that easy).
Last but not the least, DIALOG Program:
Creating a dialog program in R/3 or SRM seems fairly simple. Then, an iview could be created on the portal for this transaction, though at this point I am not sure how a spreadsheet could be attached and stored within a dialog program.
The creation of the workflow may not be that bad after the original form is designed. The graphical display of the approval trail might be difficult, but we might get away with a report for that. For printing the details of the form, I guess I could develop a smartform and put out a button on the screen to print it out in the display view.
Could you please give me your opinion / best approach for accomplishing this task, keeping in mind the complexities of these new dimension products?
Thanks
Sri

I would say that all four solutions to solving your tasks are technically feasible. Here are some thoughts that I had however:
First ABAP Webdynpro: it is true that ABAP webdynpro is only available with Netweaver04s. 04S is still in ramp-up which means that only a subset of the customer base is allow to implement it. It will not become generally available until later this year (check the service marketplace for current release estimates). That being said, it probably elimintes WDA as a possiblity for your project unless you are will to wait and to upgrade.
However having worked with WDA for a while it is probably the best tool to custom develop what you describe. It has excellent built-in F4 value help. It also has a damn fine ALV grid implementation. The spreadsheet could be just as simple as file upload in binary or your could try your hand at office integration. Finally for the form you could use Adobe Interactive Forms which also has very nice integration into WDA.
Now to Dialog Programming: You could of course use dialog programming. It seems a little bit of a waste to custom build something so large if WDA is in your near future. There are obvious disadvantages (little OO structure, no MVC, etc). You would have ALV grid, office integration and of course F4 help. You could still use Adobe forms if you implement this on the 640 system. However there are integration points with dialog and Adobe Interactive Forms. You could still use printed forms however. If you did the dialog program on the 640 system, you could use the integrated ITS to expose it to the web. The integrated ITS in my experience has quite nice performance although the look and feel remains just like the SAPGui.
The Java Webdynpro route: Well you hit the nail on the head - if you don't have a Java programmer already and you don't have the bandwidth to invest in learning Java, this can be a problem. The Java Webdynpro environment is quite nice. There are some things I like better than ABAP and some things that ABAP is defintely still better at. However when it comes to heavy integration with an ABAP backend - ABAP Webdynpro is still the way to go. Java Webdynpro does have a help feature (OVS), but it isn't "for free" or nearly as nice as the ABAP Webdynpro (perhaps it will get there some day). That is one of the major advantages of WDA - its closeness to the business data brings several framework advantages like F4 and field help. WebDynpro Java in 640 also doesn't have an ALV grid implementation. I am sure that this is something both environments will eventually have, but right now ABAP has the advantage. On the other hand, Webdynpro Java has equal support when it comes to office integration, file upload, and Adobe Forms support. You would have a more difficult time integration SmartForms however.
Finally we come to BSP. Honestly if I were in your position I would probably choose BSP (unless you could wait for the ABAP Webdynpro upgrade). You could build a nice MVC OO application using BSP (stateful or stateless). The BSP product is mature and quite well documented thanks to SDN. You have the BSP Extensions which when used in Design2003 use the Unified Renderer. That means that your output will look nearly identical to the same UI elements in Webdynpro. Also BSP supports portal integration (session management, eventing, and themes).
The downside to BSP is that it isn't a full framework (also one of its advantages). You can insert all your own html and javascript (unlike webdynpro). But this also means that SAP doesn't delivery as many framework services. For instance there is no ALV or Value Help. There is no Office Integration or Adobe Forms integration. There is some farily good Smart Forms integration. Now the upside- many people have already hit these limitations and overcame them. In the weblogs on SDN and in a certain SAP Press book (cough, cough) you will find out of the box solutions for many of these problems. You can find ready to use solutions for Adobe Integration, Office Integration (using Microsoft Office Web Controls), and F4 help. It will mean investing a little more time up front to get this "home grown framework" up and running - but it is perfectly feasible.
There is a learning curve to all these new technologies however. This sounds like an abmious project. I wouldn't want to try and tackle this project in any of these technologies if I was new to them. With Webdynpro or BSP - consider giving yourself time to learn the environment and cut your teeth on some demo apps before jumping into such a huge development.

Logic Pro X - The "Force Apple Lion 10.7 support" question - your opinion

Hi.
Now, that Apple has released Logic Pro X, we Pros have to learn that the minimum system requirement is set to OS X 10.8.4. In my book this is an asolute no go, with no reason other to impose Apples App-store power onto users to buy new hardware. So the questions for me are:
1. Why is the minimum requirement not 10.7 ? There are a lot of MacPros and other out there capable of only 10.7, yet still capable machines for production (remember, Final Cut Pro X runs fine on the first gen MacPros…)
2. I do not swallow it that the arguemnt might be that feature xyz didn't work out in 10.7. Let's make it clear, Logic Pro X should have been Logic 9 really, but Apple did not do their homework. Just like Avid released Protools 11, which should have been Protools 9 already. At least, Protools 11 runs fine on first Gen MacPros with 10.7.
3. I believe - yet can't proove - that the installer just looks for the installed system. Yet the core code might run just fine. Why is there no Trial download as with FCPX ?
What is your opinion ? Is it worth the effort to generate pressure to reduce minimum system requirement to 10.7 ?
PS.: Stay calm and relaxed
Regards

I'm on an original Mac Pro with an HD 5770 and 12 GB of RAM, and 4 x 1TB drives running FCPX with zero problems.
I also own a MacBook Pro i7 running 10.8.4
After using Logic since the eMagic days I will now have to investigate shifting to another DAW simply in order to be able to run the same software on my tower (studio machine) and laptop (live recording). There's thankfully no great rush as Logic 9 is no less capable today than it was yesterday, but I think today is a very sad day even so.
Things I believe:
Apple could, had they chosen, have released a Lion compatable version of Logic Pro X. If they can do it for FCPX, they can do it for Logic Pro X
Apple could, had they chosen, have released a version of Mountain Lion compatible with EFI 32 based Mac Pro's - if hackers can do it then of course Apple could. Had they bothered to do this, then right now they'd have something to really boast about.
Apple have an ethical and environmental obligation to do what they can to support older machines, so long as doing so does not cripple current machines or future development. Doing so might take a bit of ingenuity and maybe even some style and panache. I thought that was what Apple was about - and I think it used to be, but clearly things have changed.
People are running Mountain Lion on machines like mine. Unsupported of course. But its still possible.
That Apple chose not to do these things shows quite clearly what they think of their professional customers - and by professional I do not mean "rich" - I mean people for whom a computer is a creative tool which needs to be stable, reliable and capable - and just work when you switch it on and get ready for a productive day.
I have to wonder how many other professional musicians (who let's face it really don't NEED screamingly fast machines - not compared to the video world anyways) are going to be feeling equally sad and let down over the next few days as word of this spreads.
Just some thoughts

Interested in your opinion about PPBM7

Bill and I are working on a new site and a new test. It looks like it will not take much longer and is nearly ready for CS6.
We have invested lots of time in designing the new website and adding functionality and there is still as long way to go, but we are making steady progress. Note that the subscription module in not operational yet, the download file is not up-to-date, the script is not included, etc. but we would like to get your opinion on our progress and hear your comments. Everything now is only based on our PPBM5 results.
Please take a careful and critical look at PPBM6, take a look around the site and consider the navigation, layout, logic, design and - most importantly - how easy it is to find the info you are interested in and the way it is presented. Please be critical, so we can take your considerations and suggestions into account.
After you have looked over this site, you would help us enormously by filling out this survey: Click here to take survey. Note we have only a basic subscription which allows for 100 responses only, so you may be out of luck if you wait too long.

STRONG OPINION - Put Benchmark Results/Detailed Results (full table) by itself and label it "Benchmark Results Table" and move all other items in Benchmark Results section to "Benchmark Results Statistics"
Done.
Benchmark Results/Detailed Results table features don't work at all in Internet Explorer (I have IE v9); works fine in Firefox, but many Win7 users will be using IE
Try with the new template, it may work now. Still some cosmetics to adjust though.
Would like to see new columns in Benchmark Results / Detailed results table: CPU die size (nm), # cpus (like in PPBM5), chipset (i.e. X79, C602, etc.), User Comments (i.e. so DeeDigital could explain why identical hardware went from score of 186 to 149), Disk Comments (i.e. many forum posts focus on where put scratch, projects, media, render outputs, etc.)
That may be feasible when I get the parsing of Speccy.xml completed.
STRONG OPINION - Menu design should be streamlined; This is not that large a site and When "Latest News" "Planning and Building" is up, I see 4 separate menus (at page top, Main Menu on Left, Latest News...All Pages on right, and Planning & Building a NLE System at lower left.
Done.
Suggestions to streamline:
1) Only show "All Pages" for all areas; if you find you must have this level of sub-section, do it with a drag-down box at top and bottom of the section like many review sites do
2) Have all menus at top; this is nicer too when someone wants to print something out
Done.
Need to clearly state what versions of CS the new benchmark is compatible with
Will be done.
Suggest adding a lifetime Platinum subscription option for say $100 or $150; that's the one I would select BTW if it were available
Also suggest dumping the Bronze and Gold options; there too many options for new subscribers
I'm looking into that.
Update copyright to 2013 (i.e. bottom Methodology page)
"Buy a subscription" should be "Select a Subscription" since entry level is free
Remove the "We are volunteers!" banner to be consistent with new paid subscription fees; or, if the fees are purely going to internet fees, etc., explain that somewhere
Done, but working on the template now for the footer.
Font size selector is broken on Buy a Subscription page
Suggest using www.ppbm6.com instead of www.ppbm7.com to reduce confusion (it seems that you also own this domain site)
Will look into that.

Your opinion on the best web server (for JSP) running on a NT or IIS

HI,
Just a question : in your opinion what's the best way for work with JSP (which needjdbc 2.0) on a NT computer (or IIS) ?
Is it Tomcat, JWSDK,...
Thanks for replying.

I already install Tomcat 3.2, but it give me (when I load my JSP pages) different error as JWSDK1.0.1 and , for sure, my code is correct : the only thing which convinced me to change my JAVA server is that I need to use the Resulset.first method (implemented in JDBC 2.0).
Why ?
Or have we got other JAVA web server

"Your PC needs to be repaired" Error: 0xc0000225 in Win 8.1 Enterprise

I just can't figure this one out.
I had Windows 8.1 Enterprise installed on a UEFI laptop with an after-market SSD. It co-existed with Linux on another partition, and I was able to use Linux's GRUB bootloader to load either of the OS's (or, I could select the Windows bootloader
in my UEFI settings).
Then, at some point, I started getting blue "Your PC needs to be repaired" screens when I tried to load Windows 8.1.
I've tried going through the boot-repair process from the Win 8.1 Ent DVD (and
also from the Win 8.1 Pro and Win 8.0 Pro, just in case... because Win 8.1 Ent DVD can't repair a Win 8.1 Pro installation,
and vice-versa.. and there's no way to tell which version you have on your DVD or on your PC just by examining the files).
What's strange is that I'm able to install another copy of Win 8.1 Ent to another partition on the drive, and the Windows bootloader detects two other "Windows 8.1"s that it offers
to boot from (so, 3 menu items total, counting the one I just installed), but trying to boot either of the other two just gives me the "Your PC needs to be repaired" 0xc0000225 error.
I can see the original Windows 8.1 partition and all of its files just fine. And the Windows bootloader on the EFI partition is good, or else I wouldn't be able to boot the new Windows install.
Any ideas? How can I figure out which files are missing on the old Windows 8.1 partition?

Here is the way I fixed that problem with one partition (not two like you have). That error is coming from HP and not windows. I believe the boot sector or whatever is supposed to be there was corrupted by Windows 10. Because I could press the
bios key and see bootload, efi, and windows files on the disk. but none of them worked.
I fixed this basically like this:
turn on safe mode in bios
change boot order to put USB up front
install Ubuntu from USB thus erasing Windows (If I had a Windows start disk I could have used Windows. But I found no way to do that from Ubuntu.)
Regarding HP bios, I learned that you press f8, f9, f10, or f11 when you power up the computer to get to the bio screens and escape from the vicious circle of the blue screen with the "your pc needs to be repaired error." You have to wait until
the blue screen goes to sleep again and repower the computer to switch to another option. None of those keys will work until you do that.
Also it appears that with the HP Envy Dv7 there is no way to get it to boot from SSD. So you have to install Windows on a HDD.

Steps to link a report to Web Application Form. Post Your Opinion

Sir AG,
Thanks a lot for replying and spending your valuable time for my problem.
Sir, I just want to put this in your knowledge that my application is web based application and I am calling these reports through web forms i.e. of ASP.NET coded in vb from .aspx.vb files.
So as per the code I have attached, I have this
Option Explicit On
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Next for ReportDocument Object:
Dim fileName As String = "Reports\" & ReportID & ".rpt"
        Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath(fileName)
        myRepDoc = New ReportDocument()
        myRepDoc.Load(reportPath)
        myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = myRepDoc
Above is the code used by me in Page_Init and I have already tested it from Page_Load. I have got few suggestions from this forum that I should put this code in Page_Init only.
Lastly:
The database connectivity code:
Dim myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo()
        If Session("reportConnectionInfo") IsNot Nothing Then
            Dim ConnInforArrList As ArrayList = DirectCast(Session("reportConnectionInfo"), ArrayList)
            myConnectionInfo.ServerName = ConnInforArrList(0)
            myConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = ConnInforArrList(1)
            myConnectionInfo.UserID = ConnInforArrList(2)
            myConnectionInfo.Password = ConnInforArrList(3)
        Else
            lblMessage.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red
            lblMessage.Text = "Session is off. Please Relogin to See the Report."
        End If
        SetDBLogonForReport(myConnectionInfo, myRepDoc)
        SetDBLogonForSubreports(myConnectionInfo, myRepDoc)
SetDBLogonForReport(myConnectionInfo, myRepDoc)
Private Sub SetDBLogonForReport(ByVal myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo, ByVal myReportDocument As ReportDocument)
        Dim myTables As Tables = myReportDocument.Database.Tables
        For Each myTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In myTables
            Dim myTableLogonInfo As TableLogOnInfo = myTable.LogOnInfo
            myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = myConnectionInfo
            myTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(myTableLogonInfo)
        Next
    End Sub
This code I have got from a sample of the forum itself.
Sir, after all these effort and the unchecking of option "Save Data with Report" on calling the reports from my forms it is showing blank report. No data from the database is coming form the database.
I have uncheked the option "Save Data with Reports" to get the updated data each time the report has been called but now the status is that nothing is coming.
Thanks again for you precious and valuable effort to help me but the my problem is unsolved, So sir please if you could put an eye on it and help me out to get rid of this problem, I will be very thankful to you for your kind help.
Thanks and regards

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Errors "A media driver your computer needs is missing." or "Windows cannot install required files" upon attempting to install Windows 10 TP build 10041 64-bit

I'm attempting to install Windows 10 TP build 10041 [64-bit]
I am currently being prevented from installing by a "A media driver your computer needs is missing." error, which occurs fairly early in the process. I've interpreted further text in the message as a suggestion that it's a DVD, USB or some other
similar driver issue. However, as I've been able to attempt each install through booting from DVD and USB, I'm not convinced this is the issue.
I'm currently installing to a 128Gb SSD drive. I have installed Windows 10 TP on my laptop's SSD with no issues.
On a few occasions the installation has continue with the installation, and then failed at about 6% with the following error:
"Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code 0x8007045D". I have not removed the installation USB or DVD.
I did not have this issue when installing build 9841, so am currently assuming this is an issue with build 10041.
Apologies if this query has been posed before, a search did not show up this issue.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for trying to assist!
I attempted removing/deleting partitions and formatting the SSD as part of the install process. I have also tried installing via USB and DVD with the same issues.
As part of the troubleshooting, I attempted to install a different OS. I was able to successfully install Linux Mint 17.1 with no issues. This further solidifies my impression this is an issue with Windows.
I will try a different USB port, appreciate the suggestion, didn't think it would make a different given the various methods already attempted.
