Yeah, they have them for one day only, Mike. But I remember you saying that you use some software like this don't you?

Not that the camera is that hectic on the iPhone and no video however there are Hackers working on that oversight. Mike

Its a good chance that as its a laptop, Vista is powering down the network adapter if it thinks its not being used. Did a search in google (vista power network disconnect) and found the following: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/33307acf-0698-41ba-b014-ea0a2eb8d0a81033.mspx#EAMAC 5th one in the list: "I get disconnected from my network periodically" http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-215154.php http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928152 http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/vista/vista_hibernate.htm Hope this helps, sorry I didn't see your post earlier.

I recently did the same and out of the box it was a pain. I downloaded the latest driver etc and in the new Mouse Control Panel I reset the wheel to be treated a 'middle-button' and that seems to have fixed it...

@anssi said: Graphics card: Midrange is enough, the performance difference to high-end is negligible. The Nvidia QuadroFX series cards seem to be the least troublesome. lol, try telling Tom that - it seems as though his Quadro FX1700 also has some issues.

That's good advice, thanks. I'm glad you like the drawing, it's taken a while! Cheers Chris

No, I do not have the latest Quicktime. I have Quicktime 7 - the version that out a year back or so. I do not have problems with the ensharpen codec. Those tutorials are running fine. It is with the movies (real cinema movies - trailers downloaded)that the problem exists. Anyway I shall try out with the latest version of Quicktime. With best regards PRSS

ONLY 500! I using it free - down loaded from autocad2008LT website. Maybe its a bundle. Isnt SU very admirable - the way the give a free software!!! [syburn]

looks pretty interesting, i suppose if you had a bit of time to mess around with it you could place SU (or similar) models into the image

tim, i tried that but did not know what to change it to. the system offered me a few options that did not help me. when the same happened to .rb files the way out was to assign them to textedit (since ruby files are actually text files) and to save them again from TE. but i could not do something similar with the .style. after i posted this topic i have seen mentions to the fact that .style is not a valit ending here. perhaps this is the reason i was having trouble. notice too that right now all the .style files posted here have been deactivated. but thanks, anyway.

Wow, Remus! (and way beyond my knowledge and especially my comfort level) Hopefully I won't have to resort to such on my own...interesting read though, wish I felt spry enough for such play more often, I think I'd jump on this :`) Thanks for hanging with me on this guys...I had the image of hobbling a young thoroughbred for an aging jockey sticking in my mind's craw. But some searching for 64-bit apps this weekend I found there are precious few trained to sit my new beast...and all are well out of my stable's budget. So I guess I'll let it go and install the 32-bit XP...hoping I don't have a nag by the time the software catches up to the hardware. Best, Tom.

@mike lucey said: Hi Edson, I've finally got around to running Parallels 3 with Leopard 10.5. I find it better than BootCamp and much more convenient. I think Parallels V3 is a definite improvement over version 2 on the graphics front. Mike i tried parallels for 15 days and was quite happy with it so i bought a license. however, since my use of bootcamp was limited to a couple of apps i could not find much difference between it and parallels. on the other hand, we are trying out vmware fusion and it seems a really good way alternative to run win on mac. thanks.

Ditto to Dylan - I've had a 2405 for two years and it's just about perfect. Don't know about 2407 but I've had several Dell flatscreens (as well as Samsungs). Dell seems to be best value.

Hmm...this is intersting: http://www.primatelabs.ca/blog/2008/01/mac-pro-performance-redux-january-2008/ The 64-bit benchmarks show a clean pair of heels to the 32 bit...these are the types of speed gains for which you'd gladly shell out for a new 'puter. As they state: "The 2.8 GHz Mac Pro running 64-bit code is faster than the 3.2 GHz Mac Pro running 32-bit code". MacOS X, but still intel quad-core processors being tested, so broadly comparable. (And we don't have to pay extra for a 64-bit OS...64-bit apps are another matter, though 0

Thanks Jim.

Already reported here... However, I must say I prefer a quote from the release text so one gets an idea of what it is.

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking along the same lines as far as the graphics card. Unfortunately, don't have the room for two monitors.
