• Need advice on the Satellite Pro M40

  I wonder if someone could advise me. We just bought 8 smart tips for our school with these I ordered 8 portable computers SatProM40. When I ordered them I checked the spec as follows

  Toshiba SatProM40 - Celeron M360 1.4 GHz - RAM 256 MB - HD 40 GB-CD RW/DVD-ROM combo - Mdm - Lan EN - FAST EN - Win XP Pro - 15.4 "TFT.

  I checked before I ordered that the RAM was 256 because I had heard that it is the minimum recommended to switch to XP.

  Laptops take almost 5 minutes to turn on and everything takes an age to work it's really frustrating and they are totally useless for our school because the entire lesson is included with get the computers to run anything.

  I checked the system information and found laptops were running of 192 MB RAM and rang the provider. I was told that they used 64 MB for the graphics card and that's why they had provided a RAM of 256 MB computer.

  My question to someone who can help:-c' is a normal practice. If I had known this I would have ordered a laptop computer with more RAM to compensate.

  He would welcome any advice that would help us get our children working on their new computers. Thank you.

  Hi Lisa

  In my view, Satellite Pro M40 is nice unit for school work, but I agree with you really is 256 MB minimum RAM and I recommend you buy more 256 MB or 512 MB, depending on your budget.

  The compatible RAM modules are:
  PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 2M 25)
  PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 2M 51)

  Problem is that this device uses shared memory and that means that RAM will be used also for graphic designers. If there is someone who has a good knowledge of PC that they check all running processes. Many of them are unnecessary and can be disabled. I also noticed that preinstalled Antivir asks (Norton) slow OS quickly. If all units are not connected to the internet I recommend you to remove it.
  By the way: there are many applications of good antivir which works well and don't slow down the operating system currently running.

  Good luck!

  Hi all
  I need to replace my laptop that I dropped the dow a stolen markets, I didn't have a big budget and was looking at, but the following

  I put urgent on the title of this post, as I have it wil either looking to buy this or something similar to this next Monday.

  Your help will be appreciated. Have tried DABs contact but they were no help.

  Hello

  Also check L100. It is a nice unit but maybe cheaper than A100. If you want to buy a series I recommend A110. Satellite A110 laptop is much better for me.

  In any case be careful with A100 there are a lot of different hardware configuration. Collect accurate information on the hardware configuration before you by a.

• Guard application launch at the start of the appliance, also need advice for the implementation of network methods

  Hi all

  I'm new to the development of Blackberry and I'm writing a relatively simple application to run on 7.1.

  So far the development was interesting, I managed to create my user interface using resources online (mainly this forum), but today I tried to implement some of the network classes that I need and now I just met constant problems.

  I use Eclipse SDK 3.7.2 (the one that comes with the plugin RIM)

  First question:

  I'm not sure what I changed, but today I noticed that whenever I start the Simulator (by sim 9360) my application is started during the initial startup process. I don't think he did this before, but to be honest, I wasn't paying much attention. I think it starts at the start of the device is because I put a breakpoint in the constructor for my class from the main screen, which is hit before the Simulator happens even to the point where it is ready for user interaction. In addition, once it is ready, if I press the BB button, I see my registered application.

  I don't have it set to automatic start in .xml descriptior enforcement.

  I started this application on the HelloBlackBerry sample, here is my main method for the entry of the application:

  public static void main( String[] args ) {
          appSettings = AppSettings.fetch();
          // Create a new instance of the application and make the currently
          // running thread the application's event dispatch thread.
          HelloBlackBerry theApp = new HelloBlackBerry();
          theApp.enterEventDispatcher();
          //openConnection();
  
      }
  
  
  

  As far as I know, this is the only entry point for the application.

  More code

      public HelloBlackBerry() {
          // Push a screen onto the UI stack for rendering.
          mainScreen = new ScreenHelloBlackBerry();
          pushScreen( mainScreen );
      }
  

  Here is the method of. my class AppSettings fetch()

      // Retrieves a copy of the effective properties set from storage.
      public static AppSettings fetch()
      {
          AppSettings savedSettings = (AppSettings) _store.getContents();
          return new AppSettings(savedSettings);
      }
  

  Some of this code that I wrote myself, the persistence store cause the launch of my car?

  I tried to reset the Simulator to the factory settings, no change.

  All applications initialized during the startup of the device and then closed shortly after?

  Part 2: Need advice for the implementation of functions of network in the application

  I need to implement some methods that will retrieve data from a web service, and I also need to send data to this service. What I've read, the ConnectionFactory is the way to go. I want my application to make a request when the application is open and can check on a set interval. I didn't know exactly how to go about adding another thread for networking, I understand that network connections should not be created on the thread main event, so I tried to do this:

  The constructor of my class that implements screen (ScreenHelloBlackBerry), I use the following to create a modal dialog box to prompt the user for a username, I also try networking wire in the same segment of spawning:

          public ScreenHelloBlackBerry(){...initialize fields and managers, add it all together...then near the end
  
  //This will open the confirm dialog when the application is launched
          UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    openConfirmDialog();
                  //start connection - Possibly broken
                    ConnectionThread ct = new ConnectionThread();
                    ct.start();
                }
          });
  

  I don't know if it's somehow OK to do, but it seems to work for what I need. I want a user who launches the application at the prompt, and if a user switch applications, when they come back they wondered again (unless they close the app and reopen it).

  Here is my ConnectionThread:

  public class ConnectionThread extends Thread
  {
  
      public void run()
      {
  
            ConnectionFactory connFact = new ConnectionFactory();
            ConnectionDescriptor connDesc;
            connDesc = connFact.getConnection("http://www.google.com");
            if (connDesc != null)
            {
                HttpConnection httpConn;
                httpConn = (HttpConnection)connDesc.getConnection();
                try
                {
                    final int iResponseCode = httpConn.getResponseCode();
                    UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable()
                    {
                        public void run()
                        {
                            Dialog.alert("Response code: " +
                                          Integer.toString(iResponseCode));
  
                        }
                     });
                    httpConn.close();
  
                 }
                 catch (IOException e)
                 {
                   System.err.println("Caught IOException: "
                        + e.getMessage());
                 }
            }
      }
  }
  

  At the moment it has basically unmodified code from a sample that I found, I'll be retooling to meet my needs whenever I can make it work. I HAD this work to the point where, after the closed user confirm this dialog, a few moments later a an alert dialog appears with the 302 response code. I don't know what changed, but now it doesn't work at all, and if I try to scroll with the debugger, I can't past the httpCon.getResponseCode (). I've seen some mistakes earlier on "no record of service was set up", and I also had once a timeout exception.

  I'm sure I'm doing this wrong, but at the same time as I said WAS working, and now it is not. If someone has done this far, thank you very much for your time and advice are much appreciated.

  Also, should I try to start the thread of the network of the UIApplication class instead of the screen? There is currently very little happening in the class that extends UIApplication, do I spend most of my business logic out of the class of the screen and in the UIApplication class?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi all

  Just to conclude this topic for those who are interested, I found an excellent guide to the implementation of networks in applications of BB, click here for a link.

  About my application being started at the start of the simulator of the device, I found that on a device real this behavior is not complied with, and in addition, the behaviour seems to have stopped after uninstallation and reinstallation of my Simulator.

  The point is to use Rams compatible and not faster. If speed of the FSB 533 MHz is there is no sense to use faster RAM.
  "So we are going to discuss here on the best solution for you;).

  Compatible 1 GB of RAM for your Satellite M60 is with PA3411U-1M1G part number.

• Need drivers for Win7 for Satellite M60-159

  I installed the operating system Windows 7 (32 bit) to my Satellite M60 PC - 159 with success. But I could not find windows 7 drivers for my computer. If you help with driver problem, I'll be happy.

  Concerning

  This old notebook was designed for Windows XP Home edition and Toshiba doesn't support these old models of laptops for the new operating system.
  You can be happy if you will get hardware components of basic as audio, display, LAN, WLAN works properly but all the other stuff can be problematic.

  To be honest, you're wrong any problem with drivers. Problem is you are using wrong OS on this old laptop model.

  Let Win7 search of available drivers.

• I need some advice for the Satellite L630/03

  Hi all

  I just bought my first Toshiba L630/037 (http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/notebooks/satellite/l630/psk04a-037001/specifications#details) and I'm really excited that I'm waiting to load for hours first 2 or if, after perform you a unboxing conversion it!
  He looks bloody awesome and I can't wait to start using it!

  You have a few questions:
  1. when I received it, the sticker that keeps the top down was already torn (as in a person already open).
  The clerk said that everything is fine with it, so we opened it to check that the main seal for the laptop has not been broken and that the adapter and cable was there. Now that I'm home and I have everything out, I noticed that I have no CD.
  Is that suppose to be right? I'm a bit confused because the last laptop that I bought a few of the installation CD and the drivers that came with it. In addition, is there something else I should be aware of that should have been in the box?
  All I have is the power cord, power adapter, manual, portable with battery already in it.

  2. in the purchase, there are already standard warranty 1 year that comes with the laptop. I noticed on the Toshiba site, you can buy an extended warranty. Should I buy now? Or can I get, say 1 week before the end of year 1?

  If anyone has useful tips or advice that would be greatly appreciated!

  See you soon!

  > I took everything out, I noticed that I have no CD.
  Yes, that's right. No CD is delivered pre-installed Toshiba Software is on the HARD drive and you can create a clean recovery disk! Please see the operating manual!

  > Should I buy now? Or can I get, say 1 week before the end of year 1?
  Well, as far as I know you don t need to buy the extended warranty immediately after the laptop was purchased

  I found this info:
  > Q: When can I buy the extended warranty?
  > A: the extended warranty is eligible to purchase, during the period of warranty the laptop

• Need advice on the recovery CD and Vista upgrade on Satellite M100-222

  I want to share my problem to get some tips. I got a laptop Satellite M100-222 Windows XP and Vista capable, then I got an upgrade to Vista and it works with few problems that do not recognize some programs.

  That's why I have some needs and need your help and support and they are as follows:
  1 - is possible to reformat using the upgrade of Vista, or need to reformat with XP first and then update with Vista.
  2 - I tried several times to start the CD, DVD (product recovery) to reformat the laptop. However it is said (operating system not found).

  Kindly enlighten me.
  Concerning

  With regard to the point;

  (* 1) * If you ONLY upgrade Vista CD, then it s necessary to start the first restore XP CD, and then upgrade to Vista.

  (* 2) * usually start from the CD/DVD recovery must format the HARD drive and need to install the new image of Toshiba. Please check if you have started since the right recovery CD! Don't mix it with the Express Media Player recovery CD!

• For Portege 3490 AC adapter does not work with the Satellite A100-159

  I have a supply of 15V 120W car (or plane Kensington). It works very well with a Portege 3490CT. It doesn't do a thing with my Satellite A100-159 new. The power supply provides also 15 V 6 a. Can someone tell me why the Kensington work?

  Or does anyone have a diagram to a power supply adapted myself, preference of 11, 5-14, 12(4) and 24 VDC (23-28: 8)?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I can give t you an answer why it does not work but usually you need to use the adapter for vehicle recommended by Toshiba. Incorrect adapter may damage the laptop!
  I think that the card for Portege 3490 adapter is not compatible with Satellite A100

  That the two car/truck/Air 120W laptop charger must be compatible:
  PX1237E-1NPO
  PX1235E-1NPO

  Can you help me?
  Thank you very much for your theory.

  AX.

  Hi Axel

  My theory is that there may be some problem with button / stop himself (white metal under the button), or perhaps with several Planar cable wire.

  Also, for me it is definitely hardware problem. If you want, you can contact the partner of service allowed in your country and see what they have to say about it.

• Random beep (1-2 sec) on the Satellite M60-182

  Hello

If I don't watch any divX movie to HARD drive beeps, but if I swith to any program or game I hear this annoying soung from time to time - a few times often (every 2-3 minutes) and one some time in the range of 10-15 min.
  never steady.

  This I hear however I cut his power.
  Is it possible that it's HDD, or do I have to pay attention to something else?

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  Strange noise. I read somewhere on a similar problem and the user suggested that this noise is coming from the HARD drive.
  We hope not, but maybe you will get a HARD disk head crash in the future.
  I recommend doing a backup of your important files daily.

  You can also try to test the new HARD drive and verify that the strange noise appears.

• The satellite M60 display problems

  Hello

  I bought a satellite M60 a month ago, and since then, I've been strugling trying to solve a problem that has to do with the display (ATI 700 X mobility).
  When I play some games (the dawn of war, Unreal tournament...) the computer freezes completely, I actually have to force stop it to restart.
  Another problem, that I have seen is with Mixmeister Pro 6, the video playback is erratic, it is as if the computer is unable to handle any overload.

  I tried the upgrade of drivers, nothing works, then I installed the third party Omega drivers, but once again, nothing to do.

  Since the purchase of the M60, I had to correct problems of Wirless and PCMCIA card through driver updates, but there is nothing that I'm be able to do to resolve this display problem.

  I am quite convinced it's a driver issue, but then again, nothing is certain.

  If anyone can help me please I'm getting desperate.

  Hello

  Well, it's not easy to say why it happens but one of my friends has sometimes even appearance but on another unit. If he plays a high-performance games unity cling.
  In my view, this could be a heating problem. Playing games is hard work for the laptop, because all parts (bars of memory, processor, graphics card, etc.) work with max performance and produce a lot of heat. Most laptops are not developed for this.

  However, you should always use the graphics driver from Toshiba. I found the latest version of 15/07/05. It is a display 8.121.050.322A driver. In addition, you must install latest DirectX. I think that it s a 9.1. Check whether the fixes for these games are available.

  Second, if video playback is erratic, it seems that the OS is fully committed.
  In this case, you should check the processes that run in the background of the operating system.
  In addition, try to defragment the HARD disk

  Good bye

• Best network design... Need advice on the best use of NIC

  I'm new to the concept of Distributed Switch so I need advice.

  Our current environment is the result of a vCenter 4.1 and ESXi 4.1 Enterprise Plus, but we are just using the standard vSwitch (1 for vMotion/Console and 1 for virtual machines).  When the distributed switch came out, we were warned that a vDSwitch could cause us problems if the server vCenter or database is down.  We could not connect directly to the host and make network changes because the vDSwitch is set in the database.  That's why we stayed with the Standard vSwitch only.

  Our farm is quite small, only 5 hosts but we run around 100 mV in this regard.

  We use currently servers HP DL385 G7, which have 4 cards integrated network, and we have a map of installed NETWORK 4 port card.

  I use the NETWORK 4 EtherChannel ports and trunk card to our virtual machines.

  I am currently using only 1 network card integrated for vMotion and 1 for the Service Console and they all have two of the other defined as secondary.

  This configuration has worked very well for us, but I realize that the latest version of ESXi has some new features that we could use.

  NEW CONFIGURATION

  I'll put up a new vCenter 5 and ESXi 5 environment and I am considering using the switch distributed instead of the usual vSwitch we use.  I'm also eager to take advantage of the multiple NIC vMotion.  All our cards are 10/100/1000 MB capable... No. 10 GigE.

  I think... use that map 4 NETWORK ports for my EtherChannel/trunk for just as our virtual machine before, but this would be set to vDSwitch1

  The mixture of my 4 other integrated ports, it's causing me grief.  Should they be on a standard vSwitch or vDSwitch?  Use 2 ports for vMotion and 2 for the Console?  I really thought to use 3 ports for vMotion and 1 Console port.  I could put the Console port to use one of the vMotion ports such as adapter of standby is... I'm so confused freaking!

  Any recommendations on how I should put up?

  Hello

  Given that you can't split your vmnic for each vSwitch I would recommend either keep configuration simular with the knoweldge if a whole nic fails, you will take a failure or as autumn has already been mentioned on 'Origin Port ID'. Lets do this out and give a little better example

  Current configuration

  vSwitch0

  VMNIC0 - NETWORK interface integrated - Service Console

  VMNIC1-Onboard NIC - VMotion (different IP or VLAN?)

  VMNIC2-Onboard NIC - VMotion (different IP or VLAN?)

  VMNIC3 - NETWORK interface integrated - VMotion (eve of Console of Service) (different IP or VLAN?)

  vSwitch1

  VMNIC4 - extension PCI NIC - Etherchannel trunk - PortGroup - VMNET

  Extension VMNIC5 - PCI NIC Etherchannel trunk-PortGroup - VMNET

  Extension VMNIC6 - PCI NIC Etherchannel trunk-PortGroup - VMNET

  Extension VMNIC7 - PCI NIC Etherchannel trunk-PortGroup - VMNET

  Now, to captured to eliminate any single point of failure that you could do is break your Etherchannel trunk and back this vSwitch from Port ID and Setup VMNIC2, VMNIC3, VMNIC4, VMNIC5 as vSwitch1 for your VMNET. Then the cable to multiple switches eliminate any single point of faiulre. If your standard configuration would look like this

  vSwitch0

  VMNIC0 - on - Board Service Console

  VMNIC1 - Board - Vmotion

  VMNIC6 - extension PCI NIC - Vmotion

  VMNIC7 - extension PCI NIC - Vmotion (standby Service Console)

  vSwitch1

  VMNIC2 - VMNET

  VMNIC3 - VMNET

  VMNIC4 - VMNET

  VMNIC5 - VMNET

  So to finish any request for psyhical nics on this particular configuration the Port ID of origin essentially around robins. If during your first VM is online it will be use VMNIC2 and nic forever, until a failure, in which case he will grab the next nic online. When your second VM is online it will use VMNIC3 forever, until a failure and so on. This still will give you around the same way through to as far as networking is concerned. However if you are attached to the trunk, etherchannel 4 GB and can obsorb a failure in case of failure, the network card 4 ports can stay.

  Distributed switching Setup

  Allows you to see how you can switch to distributed switching

  Let's start first of all, you can have EVERYTHING in switches distributed even the service console port if you wish. The resason why some people do not like to do this with the service console port is because IF your database is broken you cannot make any changes to the distributed switch. However it will not prevent a feature to your distributed it switches simply means, you can change them. Also if just getting worse and your DB has been declining for some time and you REALLY need to make a change to the service console port you can go into the console and change back to a standard vSwitch if need be. This allows the said look at some standard configs, you can work

  vSwitch0 (Standard)

  VMNIC0 - Service Console Port (Port Original ID or standby)

  VMNIC4 - Service Console Port (Port Original ID or standby)

  vSwitch1 (Standard)

  VMNIC1 - Vmotion

  VMNIC5 - Vmotion

  Distributed switch

  VMNIC2 - VMNET

  VMNIC3 - VMNET

  VMNIC6 - VMNET

  VMNIC7 - VMNET

  Now this config using originating port ID and breaks your etherchannel if you want to keep your configuration with the etherchannel it can look like this

  vSwitch0

  VMNIC0 - NETWORK interface integrated - Service Console

  VMNIC1-Onboard NIC - VMotion (different IP or VLAN?)

  VMNIC2-Onboard NIC - VMotion (different IP or VLAN?)

  VMNIC3 - NETWORK interface integrated - VMotion (eve of Console of Service) (different IP or VLAN?)

  Distributed switch

  VMNIC4 - VMNET

  VMNIC5 - VMNET

  VMNIC6 - VMNET

  VMNIC7 - VMNET

  Other changes to the configuration may also put the vmotion in distributed witch the VMNET but you would to VLAN, or you could create a second Distributed switch and put it as long as there are 2 network cards. It can go either way. The main advantage of a distributed switch is that it brings all of your settings with you in any host. So trade ect all your VIRTUAL networks is really easy to reproduce if a new host is brought online, all you have to do is to add the new host network cards in the distributed switch and your config is done. With that in mind lets look at the service console. This console is always configured on EACH Setup program that out you of the box if not that you really need to have these parameters transported on several hosts that is another reason why most people just don't. VMotion is up to you, I have seen and configured two ways, it all depends on how simple you want to keep it or think of switching / vlaning / port of groups.

  If you have any questions please let me know, I hope this has helped
