While looking at vid clips on Utube & other blog sites, there is an option to 'Embed' with an option to also 'Copy to clipboard'. Rather than do something I shouldn't. can anyone explain what this option actually does please? Normally the clip is played by one of the Flash players, but I didn't think they came with any options apart from play, pause & stop.

What you could do, thanks to MoneyAM's editing facility (Click on the symbol on your nickname line after you've posted) is try it out with a bit of Copy and Paste and the editing facility to take it away if you don't happen to like it after you've done it.

If you don't want to kick off a new post on this thread, find one of your old ones elsewhere on the Traders Room list of threads and, using the Edit facility, put an 'Embed' in and then take it out again.

Go on! Go for it! You know it makes sense! :-)

Hi.

I can't open more than 6 graphs on my laptop, any suggestions as I would like to be able to view 10.

Is it a case of not enough memory?

Start by opening Task Managerso that you can see how much memory you are using.

What happens when you try to open tne 7th graph?

Everything just stops.

Gave up last time and turned it off.

3 charts, no problem. 4 and it starts slowing down.

KEAYDIAN

It does sound like a RAM problem.

As I said, keep Task Manager open and see what it is using.

A rough guide wold be to use no more than 1.2GB memory out of 2GB installed.

Okey kokey, I'll give it a go later.

Thanks ExecL.! Perhaps I shouldn't have posted late at night as it was bound to bring out the crazies!!! :o)
What I need to know though, is it possible to save vid clips from blogs (is that what the 'Embed' prompt means?) or just play them? Clicking the 'Paste to clipboard' just seems to copy the URL & then pastes as a link. Presumably the Flash players don't have a 'Save' capability?

I'm trying to use my new XDA Orbit as a Bluetooth modem for a Samsung Q1 ultra portable running XP Tablet edition.

I seem to be falling down with a lack of ability to set up a Bluetooth PAN on the Q1.

Can anyone shed a bit of light, please.

I have done it with a standard mobile phone using GPRS but it was some time ago, a pain to set up and not in the least bit intuitive.

I assume that you have a GPRS or similar connection on your XDA - in the case of GPRS, although it is an allways on connection, the phone and your computer treat it more like a dial up modem.

First step os to get your Samsung to connect to the XDA via bluetooth. The XDA will probably offer several different services - choose the dial up modem or similar.

Save the connection.

In network properties on the Samsung, set up a new dial up connection using the bluetooth connection as the dial up device instead of the modem. The dial up number may be an unlikely combination of # and numbers and you will need a login name and password but all of these or probably standard for your mobile supplier.

That's all there is to it ;-)

Sorry to be so vauge, but it should give you some pionters. Best of luck. Let me know how you get on.

TP: Not sure why you can't connect the Bluetooth to the XDA, Have you managed to pair the devices?

When you have, for the dialup number, try *99#

Not normally one to bother too much about such things, in the current hot spell I became concerned about how hot my ThinkPad -- which I use in place of any desktop system -- became. Particularly the area above the hard drive.

So, I "invested" in a Belkin laptop stand which gives you a raked stand with an open wave-shaped area beneath the laptop and a dinky USB-powered fan (v. quiet). The difference in the perceived temperature of the laptop is dramatic. The area above the HD is now as cool as the proverbial cucumber. And it will travel with you in a reasonably capacious laptop bag.

Recommended, but might be a bit small width-wise for persons with 17" Apple thingies. As it is, my ThinkPad R52 overhangs it about 1" either side*, which does not present a problem.

* For the metricated, 1" = 2.54cm.

MM,

I had one of those laptop coolers and it was most effective.

On my Bluetooth problem I think it lies in that the Samsung may not support Bluetooth PAN - a google says that it is not always a facility.

I'll now try to link via USB. I can see the XDA setting to make it work, but I am not sure what to set up on the Q1 to make it think it finds the internet on the USB linked XDA. Any suggestions.

TP

Failed to get the Bluetooth to work. Still think that Bluetooth PAN is the problem.

However, I did a hard wired USB link and eventually that did work.

You have to install ActiveSync on the PC so the PDA drivers are there. But you must not have ActiveSync running when you do the USB modem ploy. Snag is how to turn off ActiveSync..... Try and see if you can do it.

In the end I found this toggle

It works.

The only other thing I needed to do was to alter the Network Connection from O2 Active to Mobile Web. Both seem to work on the XDA, but now when using it as a modem for a PC.

At least I can now use the Q1 for an internet device when I know the screen on the PDA will be too small.

One final thing. In the XDA manual it says one should install 3gnetopt.exe to optimise the speed. In theory it is on the Application Disk - but I can't find it anywhere.

Any suggestions?

A new topic.

I have Microsoft Office Frontpage 2003 installed on my new Vista PC's.

I can see the shortcuts but I cannot find the folder with the actual software in it.

Any clues chums?

TP

TP

Right click the shortcut and select properties. File location is on the General tab.

Optimist

Not so. On some of my Desktop Shortcuts the Shortcut Tab in Properties sometimes gives the location of the software under the heading Target:

On others, eg, Word 2007 (an edited Shortcut) the Target in the Shortcut Tab simply gives the full program name but not its location.

In the General Tab only the location of the Shortcut itself is given

eg, C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator(or User)\Desktop

Might I suggest an inventory check using the Belarc Advisor (from FileHippo.com) and when the report comes up on the screen the program concerned can be located from the link, which Belarc conveniently produces for each Program.

Exec

Thanks for pointing that out.

I agree that Belarc is the simplest way to find that info.

Thanks guys.

FWIIW FileHippo don't hold Belarc at the mo' but it's easy to find with Google.

Anyway of telling which ports are beening hacked, and surly it should only be the modem one if anything how do the others get hacked???
