I think it would be great if you could configure the input method per application. Some apps work better with the onscreen keyboard, others work better with the block recogniser, and OneNote works really well with this handwriting recognition thing that I've installed. Now if the right input thingy would pop up as you changed applications .... Thanks for listening. More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Hi all, I am trying to make certain changes to the registry under the HKLM\Comm directory and according to Microsoft these are considered "protected from normal applications" (see below). However, under WM6 Professional, I have no problem making the changes I need to.* Its only on Smartphone WM6 Standard (considered two-tier protected?) that I can't.* I am using the Microsoft remote tools - Remote Registry Editor.* After trying to connect it says, "A connection could not be made because the device actively refused it" or something to that effect.* Any ideas?* Is the only way to get a certificate from the OEM? Thanks in advance Nick From the page titled, Privileged APIs: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa455835.aspx In Windows CE, the following registry root keys and their subkeys are protected from normal applications: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Init HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\WDMDrivers More...

Last November, I wrote a C program that can find large prime numbers (using the Lucas Lehmer test for mersenne prime numbers). Today, I installed Ubuntu 6.10 LTS in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and proceeded to install gcc, m4, autoconf and gmp. I also installed all of the patches available for Ubuntu and upgraded the kernel to the i686 version. I downloaded the source code for my program from my university's unix server using sch and compiled my program using GCC. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that my program executed in a Virtual PC far faster than it executes on Windows. Here are some numbers: Testing all of the mersenne numbers ((2^x) - 1) between 0 and 2281 takes 1 second on Ubuntu and 3 seconds on windows. Testing all of the mersenne numbers between 0 and 3217 takes 5 seconds on Ubuntu and 10 seconds on Windows. Testing M21701 ((2^21701) - 1) takes 6 seconds on Ubuntu and 20 seconds on Windows. You could say that my program runs twice as fast on Ubuntu, but that would be wrong, because Microsoft Virtual PC does not have SMP support, so my these tests are being run in a single thread on Ubuntu and two threads on Windows (three if you include the main thread that waits for the other threads to terminate) with the exception of the test of M21701, which uses a single thread on both. Since I am using win32-pthreads for multithreading, I decided to do another run that would eliminate shared resources between the threads as a source of overhead by ensuring that each thread had a ton of work to do before needing to lock the mutex. So I tested all of the mersenne numbers between 2281 and 3217. It took 4 seconds on Ubuntu and 7 seconds on Windows. The variables here are the operating systems and the compilers. I am running Windows Media Center 2005 Edition with Visual Studio 2008 Professional and under Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, Ubuntu 6.10 LTS with GCC 4.03. I am compiling my program in Visual Studio 2008 Professional under release mode with all compilation flags that I could find set. That includes /Ox, /Ob2, /Ot, /Oy, /GL, /arch:SSE2, /fp:fast and /GS-. I am compiling my program on Ubuntu with the following command: gcc -m32 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -mtune=k8 -march=k8 mersenne.c /usr/local/lib/gmp.so There are no background processes running that are sucking up CPU resources and I did each test (particularly on Windows) several times to try to minimize the negativity of the results. The code is the same and the hardware is the same. The only other variable is Virtual PC, which should be harming performance on Ubuntu, not Windows. So would anyone be able to tell me, exactly what is making my program run so much slower on Windows than it runs on Ubuntu? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

At work we have a custom distribution, at home I have a custom distribution.* I was thinking of distributing it.* I have a couple of associates that use it and I have been increasingly using it at work on my own.* The biggest test was my sister in law who is the biggest computer illiterate you can find, she doesn't know how to turn the thing off, seriously.* She has been able to use it and loves it.* It's a remastered Ubuntu distribution with all the proprietary software that makes my black heart go pitter patter.* I recently dropped KDE and went with a modified XFCE desktop.* There are naming restrictions and such as I cant have the words buntu in it because I include my own repositories. So, what is a good name?* Something professional.* I have thrown out the name OS/3 as IBM might have objections, I threw out OS/360 as Microsoft and IBM might have objections.* If any of the artists want to help out with usplash, GDM and branding drop me an e-mail. I also don't just want to be another distribution, I have to do something that will set it apart from the rest.* Inclusion of Flash and the Fluendo codecs aren't enough.* While I love and I mean LOVE Microsoft, I don't want to kill it before it leaves the ground although Mono and Monodevelop will ship as the primary development language. For themes and artwork, it will ship with the OpenSolaris nimbus theme and iconset as the default.* I am looking at the 8.04 LTS as my first possible distribution if it happens. Advice, suggestions on why this is a terrible idea, a great idea etc. any dialogue please* pass it along.* Any flames, insults and other derogatory commentary can be directed elsewhere. More...

The following window will pop up. Here, you can rename 'Title Name', set 'Save Path' and output quality, then click 'Yes' button to start ripping DVD to iPhone MP4 or iPhone H264 video from the point that the movie starts. That is all. Just so easy! http://freepchelp.forum/[/font][/size] If you'd like to record from certain time point, or want to change some parameters like 'output format', 'video bitrates', 'frame rate', 'audio bitrates', please click 'No' button to close the window.
