General Software Discussion / Re: Help! Ideas for software aimed at 'learning'

You would have to know the program is running.
So no sneak factor would be possible in that respect.
Plus, possibly, setting the 'flash cards' on a timer,
never heard of a random timer, but it could be here somewhere.

Living Room / Re: Friends: Brace yourselves for another economic turn.

« Last post by cmpm on June 15, 2011, 08:35 PM »

Many things come to mind on this.
It's happened before and will again.

Just maybe life and death will be looked into with more interest.
'rites of passage', the 7 fires, unstoppable change now and later
What we can do now and what will be done is continually 'now'.

The taking effect and characteristic of most,
will not supersede the giving of the few.
Giving outnumbers taking by it's impact.
Regardless of the situation.

Most important is to take time to stop the noise, the chatter in our minds.
To hear and see more clearly what has been shouting and beating against the 'house'.
From inside every soul drawn out by that which is always with us, inside and out,
seen when not trying to beat it out of ourselves.

Living Room / Re: Suggestions for removing nVidia drivers?

« Last post by cmpm on June 05, 2011, 01:41 PM »

A clean setup on a Windows 7 oem.

The MS Windows 7 disk will treat the old Windows 7 like Windows XP and save as windows.old, which can later be deleted. Using the destructive or clean method or whatever it's called and not save any programs, not an upgrade.
Just use the oem activation number and you should be fine, if it even asks for it.

The setup disk will recognize the current Windows 7 as an old windows os and destroy it into windows.old.

The nVidia normal uninstaller didn't complete properly but left the system in a somewhat mixed state

That could be it.

Boot into safe mode and watch for nvidia drivers/and related in the list loading.
Could be a standard issue windows nvidia driver still there.

Back on track:
The HP OS-(re)install is probably going to dump the original nVidia driver onto the system, it's usually an image kind of install without much intelligence built into it.

Pointed out by Ath.

Another thought may be to reload an nvidia card then uninstall it properly if possible.

You have done this most likely, but I'll post it anyway.

So what is Oracle's main business?
Servers and products in that line of work?

I signed up at Oracle for news and they called me, left a message to call them.
Yes they have my #, but no big deal to me.

I don't think they have what I would use, ever.

But considering they called, I suspect there is an aggressive sales force to incorporate their products as a business standard, of which I have not much to do with.

General Software Discussion / Re: Measuring PC boot-up time by component - and tweaking it with Soluto

« Last post by cmpm on May 28, 2011, 07:04 PM »

Interesting, Soluto beta, I installed and rebooted, looked at everything.
A few things it advised to turn off with windows and FF.
But I want everything I have running. So I left it alone and rebooted again.

All my tray icons 30, now 31, with Soluto, show up without fail.
Which was not happening on a cold boot or restart.

The problem I was having was icons in the tray not showing after booting.
I use an auto logon found at gHacks/Sysinternals.
http://www.ghacks.ne...tologon-for-windows/

Most of the time I had to log off and logon to get all the tray icons.
Cause the programs would be running but no tray icon, which I need.

FF is starting a bit faster as well. Maybe that's in my mind.
Seems quicker to load.

I didn't change a thing, maybe cause Soluto slowed the process' just enough.
I don't really know.

I didn't pause or delay anything that it could find.
Maybe it just rearranged the load by priority.

So, does Soluto work good or not.
Or just another startup program to add to a long list?

By the way, I found MP4 downloader.
http://mp4downloader...zdev.org/drupal/home
Works better then DownloadHelper.
If you want to try it.
Don't know the memory load it takes on FF.

Thanks for reminding me of these programs everyone!
I forgot about most of them.

Here's one that may work for you.
It has a lot in it, but it's main function is no border pictures full screen.

http://kometbomb.net/projects/viewer2/

I had to play with it for a while to see all it had.
Still not sure I know.

Fast Picture Viewer can be borderless too.

http://www.fastpictu...iewer.com/downloads/

I'm not sure if you can view more then one single picture at a time with either.
Viewer2 can do a collage type view.

Thanks to all and Nova, I received my download and registration code this morning.
NovaPdf Pro 7 installed and registered smoothly.
I'm sure there are more licenses if you want to make a video.

For uploading to youtube all you need to do is register.
You are supposed to have annotations and/or audio.
But mine worked the way it was, I think it was pretty simple to understand.

And it will e-mail the pdf to that account,
Then download to - Documents\My Kindle Content.
And open Kindle for PC, it will be there.

But it's meant to be proof you wrote it on a particular date.

Just a note to keep in mind.

The poor man's copyright-
Send what you wrote via registered letter to your self.
But don't open it.
This will be the proof that you originated the writing by the date of the registered letter.
