Hello, Alan.

Yep, the switch you're looking for is '-as'. )

Cheers.

Try PolyMon: http://polymon.software.informer.com/

Better yet, go with PolyMonRT, as it doesn't require keeping a database: http://polymonrt.software.informer.com/

Cheers. )

Ooooh, I second this one.

I even go to such lengths as install a program, then copy it over to another folder and uninstall it, and then use it from that custom folder thereafter. This way, I don't even have to reinstall anything if I should happen to set up a new version of Windows. Nifty.

Ah, the good old Microsoft Plus. )

If you're still using Win98, this one might do the trick: http://changer7.software.informer.com/

Alternatively, just browse the search results for 'boot logo' (link) and pick one.

Hullo.

Seeing that the websites of Granada Learning and BlackCat are no longer operational, it is quite likely that you won't find any trial downloads of their software (well, besides BlackCat Science Activity Builder: this one crops up in search results right away). (
The respective page on this website (http://information-workshop-2000.software.informer.com/) does provide a 'Home page' link, however - it leads to a page where you can buy the 'SuperTools' CD, which does contain the Information Workshop 2000 software: http://www.taglearning.com/taglearning/blackcat-supertools.html

But... good grief, 75 quid!
(On the bright side, it seems to have been 99 quid just a while ago.)

Seems like it's the only way to get hold of IW2000 these days.

Well, yes, infinst_autol.exe is pretty much a self-extracting archive, containing a setup.exe file and a bunch of folders with .inf and .cat files in them (for Windows Vista, XP, 2003, and 2000). Still, I would advise against extracting it and manually updating the device by means of looking up .inf...

Woop, nice to see someone else being helpful here. )
Yep, Streamclip should be fine.

You know how Excel is able to guess the subsequent values in a column if you fill in just two cells and then select them and drag that bottom-right black square (called 'fill handle') downwards? Well, it can do the same with formulae. ) Just fill in the topmost cell (I suppose in this case one is en...

Oh, so that was the title. Sorry. )

I'm not sure how the whole workstation-server interaction goes on between instances of 'Practice-Web', but it would appear that workstation computers get access to all the images and programs stored (and bridged) on the server as soon as they are installed as such from the CD (New Customer -> Install Workstation). There's a nifty guide that covers the whole setup: http://practice-web.com/downloads/documents/PWDentalNetworkInstructions.pdf

In case this doesn't happen and Workstation Practice-Webs require separate bridging, I can suggest the following (admittedly, rather 'hacky') way of doing it:
1. Share the folder the 'Quick Vision' software is installed to on the server (in the same way you shared the 'FreeDentalImages' folder - that is, right-click on it in Windows Explorer and pick 'Share'). Should be somewhere around C:\Program Files\(Owandy\)Quick Vision\.
2. Open the Windows Start menu, pick 'Run...'
3. Enter 'ipconfig' (without the quotes), press Enter.
4. Write down the number labelled as 'IP Address'.
5. Open the 'Run...' module again from the Windows Start menu.
6. Type in two backward slashes (these ones: \), then the IP address you've just written down, then one more backward slash - you should get a tooltip listing your shared folders.
7. Press Down to highlight the 'Quick Vision' folder you shared previously.
8. Type in another backward slash after it.
9. Press Down to highlight the EXE file that corresponds to the file that launches 'Quick Vision'.
10. Write down the resulting path (it should look something like \\192.168.0.1\Quick Vision\qw.exe).
11. (Optional) You may press Enter to make sure that the resulting path does work.
12. Proceed to the Workstation machine. Invoke Setup -> Program Links in 'Practice-Web':
[img=Program Links]http://i56.tinypic.com/35n58g7.jpg[/img]
13. Pick 'Quick Vision' from the list.
14. In the field 'Path to file to open', type in the path you've just written down.

Should work. )

If it doesn't... well, in case you should happen to get no more (arguably helpful) replies here, try these chaps: http://practice-web.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=34&Itemid=65

What's the title of the web software you're referring to? Bridging is usually pretty straightforward (the only trouble being in locating the fabled 'Link imaging program' or 'Program links' menu item), but it's done differently in different applications. Just fire the title (or maybe a link, should ...

Funny thing is, sometimes it even makes sense to keep several video conversion applications too, in addition to a bunch of video players.

I myself have to get on with four versions of VirtualDub: the regular one, a slightly older version of the regular one (with support for MP4-encoded videos), a downright ancient version of the regular one (the only version with ASF support, which was then dropped for some copyright reasons), and a mod called VirtualDubMod (which supports multi-audio-track videos).

Imagine if we had to keep a different viewer for JPG, BMP, GIF, TGA, and PNG image formats!

David Phillips wrote:Can you help me with another issue?I`ve shot some footage in portrait format but cannot find a way to rotate it for playback.

Bah, no problem (this will require a certain amount of tedious video processing, however). I've always used this application for video witchery: http://virtualdub.software.informer.com/ (open-source and free).

Load the video footage in VirtualDub, open the 'Video' menu and switch to full processing mode (this is the only way to enable the use of filters). Open the 'Video' menu again, pick Filters, and locate the 'Rotate' filter (hope that's how it's called, it's been a long time since I did anything of this kind). Then you just pick the rotation angle and save the video under a new name (just in case).

The important thing to keep in mind is that you'll have to choose the compression codec yourself for the resulting video not to take up several gigabytes of your hard drive space. I suggest sticking with DivX or XviD (they should be on the list that pops up when you're prompted for a compression codec) with default settings.

There are probably much more user-friendly tools for purposes like this, but I've yet to come upon the one that I could wholeheartedly recommend. This website can look up freebies for you - feel free to browse and see which one works better: http://software.informer.com/search/type/freeware/video+editor.

It looks like that AVI file is packed using some shady codec, one which happens to be somewhat corrupted in your system - and WMP, purist that it is, it just crashes instead of trying to fix a mismatching header or something. I can think of two ways to resolve this.

1. Install a pack of updated codecs (as opposed to updating WMP itself, which doesn't do much) - one of which would likely replace the corrupted one and prevent WMP from crashing. Try this one: http://k-lite-codec-pack.software.informer.com/

2. Install a free video player that comes with inbuilt codecs (much like DivX, but free). Off the top of my head: http://vlc-media-player.software.informer.com/ or http://gom-player.software.informer.com/

Cheerio. )

Bah, it's a rule that every Nintendo developer speaks at least some Engrish!

Bloody nitpickers. From what I gather, though, even if you do have your dev licence handy, they just resort to telling you to buzz off and bother Warioworld (your side of the pond) or Nintendo Europe (our side of the pond) instead. Funny thing is, www.nintendo-europe-media.com is downright borked an...

I would guess that's not necessarily so (sadly). When you first run the siClient application (http://software-informer.software.informer.com/), by means of which the database is apparently populated, it explicitly states that it's going to send the list of your installed software to its server, and that it wouldn't mind borrowing some icons from you in the process.

Wouldn't IS be able to fix you up with a download link? Or do they hate everyone who's not Japanese?

To quote the administrator:

Caramelka wrote:A program gets into our database automatically after it is installed by at least one user of siClient.

What I've always inferred from this principle, is that you can install your own program, then install the siClient, and wait for 'Dynamic Disk Manager' to pop up on this website.

One's for notes, the other one is for applications. What are these two programs similar in, again?

There aren't too many patches per se (Sierra is no more as a company, after all), and I wouldn't vouch for any of them solving Win7 compatibility issues. Have a look: http://www.sierrahelp.com/Patches-Updates/Patches-Updates-Games/PrintArtistUpdates.html

Have you tried activating the Win7 compatibility mode? Right-click on the installer, switch to the 'Compatibility' tab, and tick the check box.

'Impress', which is part of the Open Office package, fits the description. )

Er, no, I was just saying I'd checked it and it appeared to have been fixed somewhere in between your message and mine. Which, in turn, would imply that someone actually does read all this. ) I too feel a bit uncomfortable with all this fancy 'social' stuff (get off me lawn, Facebookery!), but there...

Guess we're to blame the stupid questions for no one's noticing it. )
This said, though, I've managed to leave a reply just now - maybe it's already been fixed?

I've never touched a thing from Magix, and it's a long shot, but... could it be that you've got another sound sample imported into your project at that point, and that the said sample is of different sampling frequency from that of the rest of the project? Try re-sampling the sample before importing...

I do not wish to be a spammer. How can the program have an individual page at software.informer.com without it being downloaded (sounds like a chicken versus the egg situation to me)? I apologize; I am very new at this.

It's a case of divine intervention, so to speak. )
As a rule, the individual pages on software.informer.com provide links to first-hand resources, without hosting anything (which is a nice way of preventing users from questioning the origins of listed programs, I'd say); so it is probably implied that a program (and, likewise, its developer) has an official website, where it is hosted or linked to. It is there where it's to be first downloaded from, I believe.

In the same breath, since the requirement is as low as 'at least one user of siClient', you yourself can install your own application alongside siClient - and it will probably pop up on the website.

Had a similar problem with a bunch of PDF documents that contained heaps of mathematical equations in them. The thing that did the job best (still not quite perfectly though, mind you) retaining nearly all the equations and tables was ABBYY's 'PDF Transformer'. Give it a try.
