What the heck? I had like 50 song credits on my account and now they're gone!I suppose "taking iTunes to the next level" means a lower level.-Deozaan (May 01, 2010, 02:31 PM)

Now I have read on different occasions that all of HP AIOs *require* the installation of the entire program suite on CD (incl. OCR etc.).They don't *require* anything but the driver.-brahman (May 17, 2010, 08:37 AM)
Does anybody know of a *tested* workaround for only installing the necessary driver components for network use, since I really dislike littering my HD with all this stuff?There's no real standard layout (it's more mood driven I suspect) to their Driver CD's, but I have ripped the drivers loose for network installs a few times.
I changed my DPI setting to 100% (96 DPI) an the problem didn't occur, but strangely when I set it back to 150% it didn't recur until I restarted explorer - although normally it occurs all the time.I do most of my testing With a Virtual PC running WindowsXP (Which makes for safer crashing) I set it to 150DPI, and discovered much of the T-Clock interface looks like crap that way. Are you seeing that also? But the Properties Dialog positioning remains (on screen) correct. Damn peculiar it is.-sagji (May 16, 2010, 08:16 AM)
I have noticed a new problem. When the taskbar is set as transparent there are minor redraw artefacts. When I mouse over an Icon in a toolbar and move the mouse away there is a faint grey square round the icon. Also when a tooltip disappears there is a faint line round where it was, and when the transparency is changed the separator used between toolbars suffers a similar problem.That almost sounds like a driver issue - Vista had problems with stalling clock output (and etc...) when it was first released, but after a few MS updates the problem went away...Which is why I never looked into it. What OS and hardware configuration are you running?
A screen shot would explain this much better - however the effect isn't seen in the screen shot - which also doesn't show the transparency at all.
Actually I was thinking of alarms, not hourly chimes. The standard samples, and a lot of other suitable sounds, are so short as to be easily missed, but I don't want the alarm to repeat until cancelled.Hm... Let me Mull that one over a bit - I got see how many worms come flying outa the can when I open it before comitting...-sagji (May 15, 2010, 02:07 PM)
I have installed the beta 6, and have noticed the following.Unfortunately I can't seem to duplicate this behavior. I moved my Taskbar to the right side of the screen, selected T-Clock properties and it popped up to the left of the Taskbar as expected. I tried this on both the left & right monitor of a dual monitor (Win7 x64) rig and on a WinXP single monitor rig. Do you perhaps have another desktop customizing app that in bay be confused by/conflicting with?
The properties dialog doesn't appear on screen - but it is in the window list. It looks like it is appearing to the right of the taskbar - however as my taskbar is on the right of the screen this places it off screen.-sagji (May 14, 2010, 07:36 AM)
If I open the properties dialog and go to the alarm page and press OK, or Cancel, - then after about 7 secs. explorer stops working. If instead I go to the clock text, or time format pages it works correctly.I can't duplicate this one either - But I haven't dug at it extensively yet.
The initial colour of the clock text is black - however the background is also nearly black, so the text is hard to read. While different OSs and themes vary I think that very dark backgrounds are much more common that very light ones, and that white would thus be a better default colour.Now that one has been bugging the crap outa me, and is now on the ToDo list (I had been waiting to revamp the defaults till later).
When creating an alarm it is difficult to enter the time by typing in the time. In the hour field the cursor is usually at the beginning (even after typing a digit) and thus any typed value is discarded. The minutes field is a little better - or I was just more experienced at the field's oddities.Damn, that is annoying, I'll see about changing its behavior to be more like the Create Timers dialog.
Alarm sounds tend to be short - often so short as to be easily missed. It would be useful to specify the number of occurrences - so that the bell could ring say 6 times at 6 pm.

Count me as among those who didn't realize copy machines had a hard drive in them. Scary indeed!
Though I'm left wondering how prevalent that is. Would, for instance, my little HP All-In-One home printer also have a hard drive in it? How about my Brother MFC-7840W?
Or is this just a "feature" of "commercial-grade" copiers?-Deozaan (May 12, 2010, 09:07 PM)
most system boards also aren't fussy about having a keyboard attached anymore. or not from my experience anyway. you may need to fiddle with BIOS settings depending on what you have. but with all the headless home servers being made from old PCs that's a good thing.-Gwen7 (May 10, 2010, 05:36 PM)
Why not use Remote Desktop? I use it daily to manage several servers scattered all over town.-Stoic Joker (May 10, 2010, 01:56 PM)
Me too. But it's more viable using it to administrate a server than it is to work alternately on two or more 'desktop' machines.
IMHO a hardware KVM solution is still the best bet. Especially if you're running heavy graphics or media apps. I'd hate to try and edit video or do music composition over an Ethernet link.-40hz (May 10, 2010, 02:13 PM)
