    I want to buy my first LCD

    in Hardware Hangout

    Posted

    One other point is the native resolution. Not for comparison between different LCD's maybe, but more a general hint.

    Keep in mind that the LCD only works well at it's native resolution (1280x1024 in your case). Or at the very least it looks better. If you're going to play games, make sure your system is able to handle that resolution at an acceptable frame rate.

    I like my Samsung 913, but it'sa not even the best one out there. It doesn't have ghosting issues at least.

    nVidia SMBus Drivers

    in Device Drivers

    Posted

    Typically updating drivers with newer versions doesn't lead to install problems. Even if you haven't done an uninstall first.But never say never in the wonderful world of complex software :)

    If you use installers, normally they add additional programs besides the actual driver. This utilities you don't need for windows to run at all.They can be diagnosis utilities for example or simply manuals etc etc, It's up to you to decide if you want those. If not, it's no problem to integrate drivers and there's no need to worry about uninstall options not being available.

    MS Word page numbering

    in Microsoft Office

    Posted

    Walking through is a little difficult right now as I don't have word on this pc and can't remember exactly. I'll do my best,

    Ok, here it goes, hope it's correct.

    First of all you need to split the doc: MS Word lets you insert different kind of breaks. What you want is a section break.

    This breaks the document in two sections. So you need a section break after page 2. Page 3 will be the first page of section 2.

    Now you can insert page numbering (or edit existing). For section 2 you should start with 1 and have it apply to section only (you may have to do some experimenting - can't remember exactly how to go about doing this step by step).

    For section 1 simply no numbering / remove the page numbers in the footer. Again look that you apply it to this section only.

    That's all I can do right now, hope it helps anyway.

    World Cup FIFA 2006 with MS

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Blub

    Nice to see MS is into soccer as well.Looks like I now need to use my winXP system as I don't think genuine advantage validation will work with Linux. Never tried though, who knows?

    But Holland will surely win for the first time ever, ha ha

    Integration of NVIDIA's nForce RAID and AHCI drivers

    in nLite

    Posted · Edited by Blub

    @Fernando 1:

    Please post your experience with this method - successfull or not - into this thread.

    Succesfully tested configurations using nLite:

    • integration of LEGACY folder drivers from package 6.70 with RC7 and RC8
    • integration of LEGACY folder drivers from package 6.85 with RC7 and RC8

    Raid BIOS version v. 4.84

    Mainboard: Asus A8N-SLI Premium

    2 x Samsung SP1614C, 160GB, SATA 150 in Raid 0

    Operating system: Windows XP home SP2, Windows XP home SP2 with slipstreamed hotfixes until Mar 06, Windows XP home SP2 with Ryan VM update pack 2.06.

    I prepared a build with the beta drivers as well, but haven't tested it yet.

    Nice thread Fernando! Especially the last update couldn't be clearer and simpler. I remember fighting a LOT with my first SATA drivers integration attempts. This should really be a BIG help :thumbup

    @i_know_tim:

    Well basically I have been getting error 51 (error during paging operation on disk ...) in the event log of my computer for a while now which I have not been able to fix. Amazingly this fixed it. integrating the lagacy XP drivers from the 6.7 package worked a charm. My computer was also locking up with no bluescreen or event logs mainly during io intensive tasks like games (obivion). This was fixed simply by integrating these drivers. I really don't understand

    Interesting. May I ask what drivers you used before and what motherboard you have?

    By the way: I had seemingly random freezes for a while too. They actually turned out to be caused by a defect memory bank. But until I discovered this (because the memory bank finally was kind enough to fail consistently, which made it easy to detect), But I was suspecting buggy drivers as well.Are you 100% sure it's stable now?

    Integration of NVIDIA's nForce RAID and AHCI drivers

    Posted

    The Vista nForce driver package contains not only a new NVATABUS, but a new NVRAID driver too (both versions: 5.10.2600.667). I don't know where you got the above information about the NVRAID.INF from, but this is not true.

    @Fernando 1. Yes, don't know myself where I got the version info, I must have been in outer space. Both are indeed 5.10.2600.0667.

    Integration of NVIDIA's nForce RAID and AHCI drivers

    Thanks for maintaining this thread, my first experiences with nVidia raid and WinXP install were rather painful. I think it's a good help for many users.

    I was wondering about the different versions ...

    from the LEGACY folders:

    nforce 6.70 AMD

    nvraid.inf: DriverVer=08/18/2005,5.10.2600.0552

    nvatabus.inf: DriverVer=08/18/2005,5.10.2600.0552

    nforce 6.85 AMD

    nvraid.inf: DriverVer=08/18/2005,5.10.2600.0552

    nvatabus.inf: DriverVer=08/18/2005,5.10.2600.0552

    Vista beta:

    nvraid.inf: DriverVer=08/18/2005,5.10.2600.0552

    nvatabus.inf: DriverVer=05/01/2006,5.10.2600.0667

    This suggests that the Vista beta driver package contains an updated nvatabus driver, the rest is identical anyway. Anyone know more? nVidia isn't exactly very clear in their driver releases I find.

    Managing Pictures in MS Word 2003

    in Microsoft Office

    Posted

    Try LaTex instead ;)

    Don't know, would be interesting to learn this trick as well. I normally resort to adding pics in the text (I mean not floating) and keeping the captions together with pictures by ... don't have office here, so forgive me if I write something wrong now ... ticking "keep with next" in the paragraph format menu. This whilst selecting both pic and caption. Although this appears to work, it severly limits formating options (no wrapping of text e.g.)

    Help with my RunOnceEx.cmd

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    I assume drive "U" is a network drive mapped succesfully with "...network\map.cmd" and all paths are correct ???

    If you actually want the quotes in "TRANSFORMS="U:\Office2003\unattended_2.mst"" to appear in RunOnceEx you'd need to enclose the quotes in quotes ... like this """. Altough I don't know why you want that.

    Normal install of "Flash824.exe" works ok? Nothing that anyone can see with just this data. Maybe someone actually had same experience, I haven't so sorry. Try posting more details.

    One more thing. Sometimes I found that if installs don't finish properly they can cause issues for the next installs. I have no idea why. But you could try enforcing (or changing) the install sequence. Also testing them individually to confirm they work may be a good idea.

    find(what:= ?

    in Microsoft Office

    Posted

    Since no replies yet...

    Ok, first some general tips:

    1. Please use CODE tags when posting code
    2. Even though VBA does not require you, it's a good idea to declare your variables anyway like this 
      Dim X as <type>


      See web/help for recognized variable types. You can enforce declaring variables by adding the following declaration at the top of the VBA editor page. So before any other code. 

      Option Explicit


    3. You say your code it works for the first entry of "e1a1". Did you actually compile your script succesfully and copy it? Anyway, let's assume it actually does work for the first entry for now.

    The answer to your question is simple: replace your text string "e1a1" in the Cells.Find line with a variable. For example: 

    Cells.Find(What:= ROTA, ...

    BUT this will not work since you cannot use the same name for the routine ("Sub ROTA()") and a variable. Hence my remarks. If you'd use something else for the variable it would work. For example "SOMETHING" instead of "ROTA".

    EXCEPT that this code still wouldn't. You need at least to debug your code (use "Compile" menu item in the VBA editor) and also you need to reset your variable "COU" to zero inside each start loop. As you coded it here (if it'd work) ... your program would just count up "COU" to 4 and keep looping questions without acting after that.

    By the way, by looking at xlPart with the Find function "e1a1" would give more than one match. For example also "e1a11" ... This doesn't seem to be what you want.

    Anyway, try to improve these things and also use compile to debug. You can probably figure it out and change it accordingly.

    Good luck
