  • I have a pavilion a6863w and currently runs 7 GB of RAM. My computer will handle 16 GB max.

    The computer RAM in my computer has four locations and is currently organized 1 GB, 2GB, 2GB, 2GB. Can I change the module 1 GB for a 4 GB module? I finally have what it takes to install 4 - 4GB modules and max on my computer. Due to the cost, I want to do a little at a time. Will this work? Operating system is Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.

    Ctdmsims Hello, here is a link for your system specs. The specifications show that the system supports 4 X 4 GB memory modules. However, these 4 GB modules should most likely be installed at the same time and not mixed with other memories.

    HP systems generally wanted to work, or work well if, with the mixed memory modules.

    I searched for some 4 GB modules that are compatible with your system, I was unable to locate anything.

    If you managed to locate a module of 4 GB, it would almost certainly not compatible with existing memory in your system.

    Just some thoughts.

  • I have 2 separate servers, 2 databases running with 2 packages of the apex. Can I merge them all on a single server/database?

    Hello.

    Currently I have two servers each with an oracle database, each of them is running apex and offers a package that people use to interact with data through Web pages.

    I want to merge these two servers into one to save on costs, which means that 1 Server 1 database... with 2 packets of the apex. Is this possible? I guess I would need to export/import the whole package and to migrate database schema, but I will say a default package a schema and a single default package to another scheme? I don't understand workspaces so maybe that's where the question is rooted.

    APEX applications are similar/different?

    You can do the following:

    • Import the schema (data) of base2 in database1.
    • You can associate multiple schemas to a workspace. For example, you can associate the schema imported into your workspace (in database1).

    Reference: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E59726_01/doc.50/e39151/adm_mg_wrkspc.htm#BABCEBIE

    • Then, you can export the APEX of base2 workspace application and import this request to the workspace from base1.
    • Access the newly imported application. Change the attributes of the Application -> Security-> database Session and define the Schema of the analysis to the newly imported schema.

  • NEITHER 9481 relay are not locked when running the labview compiled exe on a computer with only installed labview execution?

    I recently bought a cDAQ-9172 with several modules.  One of the modules is a NI 9481 relay module.  I created an application using Labview and built an exe file.  If I run the exe on the computer, it was developed on the relays work properly, that is, they remain locked up until their status is changed.  If I run the same exe on a computer with only the Labview runtime installed (no software installed), the pulse relay contacts and not locked.  I'm using Labview version 7.1 for my development and execution.  Everyone knows about this problem?

    Ignore this announcement, the error stems from a difference between each computer ini-files and has nothing to do with the Labview Labview runtime vs, my bad developer.

    Hello

    ·         Are you able to start on the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         What anti-virus program do you use?

    Follow these methods and check if that helps:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to download and run the latest Microsoft security on your computer Scanner and check if it helps:

     

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: the data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 2:

     

    I suggest you install the latest anti-virus Microsoft Security essential on the computer program and check if it helps.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/security-essentials

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 3:

    If you have Windows XP CD you can try to check and scan of System File Checker running if this can help.

  • Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition is not compatible with Windows 7

    I have Microsoft! Digital Media Edition, I bought March 22, 2004. I changed my computer, now I have Window 7 operating system, I just realized that I can't install the CD on this laptop. You kindly advise, thanks.

    There is no option here because more EMR is not compatible with Windows 7, you need to try to find alternative solutions that correspond closely to all of the features of it. Windows Live Essentials includes features such as the new Windows Live Movie Maker that includes features similar to photo story. Features like features MP3 encoder and clock radio, for that you will need to find third-party alternatives. Programs such as RealPlayer and WinAmp work encoding of audio files in different formats, so these are two you can watch.
