USB Powered Gadgets and more.. Install & run Unigraphics NX4 (or older) in Windows 7 and Vista. Warning/Disclaimer ityadi: Assuming that you, the person facing this problem, owns a licensed, legitimate copy of the software. You got no business taking my name when the aunty-piracy overlords throw you in ze gulag for using warez – Comprende? The problem lies not with the Software [Unigraphics NX], but with its license manager that is supposed to run as a service in the computer.
It enables you to run Unigraphics NX on workstations that access the license manager before running. However, the license mangers of Unigraphics NX4 and Unigraphics NX3 [and possibly other older versions] fails to run as a service in Windows 7 [and also Windows Vista], thereby terminating the installation. As a result Unigraphics NX will refuse to work even if installed on your workstation. There is a workaround though.
After you receive the message saying that installation failed to start the service, do not click Cancel immediately. C:\Program Files\UGS\License Servers\UGNXFLEXlm Hat tip NXway Godspeed. The 'Siemens NX' way to do the job.: NX4 License server and Windows Vista. There hasn't been an official statement yet stating which NX version will fully support Vista, but nowadays I hear quite a few people complaining that they've just bought a laptop, and noticed that it is preconfigured with Vista instead of Windows XP. I'd run back to the computershop if I were you, but here's what you can do to make the "Unigraphics License Server" work.
Begin installing the license server from the NX4 Base installation CD. After copying files, you'll see an error saying the service could not be started. Before hitting Cancel, copy all the files in the "C:\Program Files\UGS\License Servers\UGNXFLEXlm" directory to c:\nxflexlm . Then cancel your installation, and launch a Command Line. In a single line, enter echo @C:\nxflexlm\lmgrd -c c:\nxflexlm\ugnx4.lic -l C:\nxflexlm\log.txt >c:\nxflexlm\nx4_server.cmd Then add C:\nxflexlm\nx4_server.cmd to your Startup directory.
For NX5, I received no errors at all while installing both the license server and NX itself. How To Print From Your Phone for Free with Dropbox. What’s cooler than printing? Well, lots of things--but one of those things is wireless printing. We may be stuck with these ugly, awkward devices for a few more years until our country’s dead paper obsession winds down, but remote printing at least gives us the option to produce paperwork without being tethered to a printer in a stuffy office. We spend more time on our phones than our desktops these days, and that calls for a mobile printing solution. That’s where Dropbox comes in. With a Dropbox account and a simple script, you can print whatever you want from a web-enabled phone. It’s free and easy--here’s how. Dropbox account (sign up with our referral code!). Zip folder on that computer and run the script inside, which will install a PrintQueue folder within Dropbox.
The eprint.vbs script is Windows-specific, but there are workarounds for Mac and Linux if you need them. Public CGI (Web, PHP) anonymous proxy free list. Five Things to Do with Your Old Laptop. nLite Windows XP Install on Asus Eee PC. Installation of Windows XP on an ASUS Eee PC The Asus Eee PC (in the US anyway) comes with a very simplified Xandora Linux interface that provides some very basic functionality, like web browsing, email, messaging, and word processing.
For some people that's all the Eee PC will ever need to do, but for others, a full blown install of a "heavier" OS will be required (or maybe just wanted). Because of the Eee's limited hardware specs, Windows XP comes to mind, but even a default install of Windows XP with all of the patches can be 2GB or above.
On some Eee PC's (the 2GB models) this isn't an option, and even on the 4GB models, said XP install would require more than 50% of the available space (3.8GB formatted). So what is a person to do? If this sounds like something you'd want for your Eee PC, you're in luck. What You'll Need Pre-Installation Advice Creating the nLite Windows Install CD Read the instructions carefully adn you should be fine. Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Slipstreaming Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3) Three and a half years after my previous Windows XP slipstreaming guide (for XP Service Pack 2, or SP2), we're back again with what I assume will be my last XP slipstreaming guide, this time covering Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3).
I first covered slipstreaming on the SuperSite almost seven years ago, for Windows 2000), the first Windows version to support this functionality. Not surprisingly, the process hasn't changed much and the end result is still a version of the current Windows Setup CD that's been integrated with the latest updates. (Microsoft promises a more elegant method of slipstreaming with Windows Vista, but that's been pushed back to Vista SP2, so for the foreseeable future, we're still using the old but reliable method documented here.)
But integrating your Windows XP with SP2 Setup disc with SP3 will make everything OK, at least the next time you do a fresh OS install. Prerequisites A Windows XP Home or Professional with SP2 Setup CD. ISO Buster. ImgBurn. Final thoughts. How to rebuild a Li-Ion battery pack. Features of lithium Ion batteries High energy density that reaches 400 Wh/L (volumetric energy density) or 160Wh/Kg (mass energy density). High voltage. Nominal voltage of 3,6V or even 3,7V on newer Li-Ion batteries. No memory effect. High charge currents (0,5-1A) that lead to small charging times (around 2-4 hours). Flat discharge voltage allowing the device to stable power throughout the discharge period. Typical charging Voltage 4,2 ± 0,05V. Charging method: constant current - constant voltage (CV-CC).
Typical operation voltage 2,8V to 4,2V Recommended temperature range 0-40 Charging Characteristics Charging method is constant current - constant voltage (CV-CC). Typical charging characteristic Charge current is recommended to be set at 0,7CmA (where C is battery capacity). . Capacity At a typical 100% charge level at 25 , Li-ion batteries irreversibly lose approximately 20% capacity per year from the time they are manufactured, even when unused. (6% at 0 , 20% at 25 , 35% at 40 ). And 40 Precautions. Rebuilding a Laptop Battery. When your laptop battery is about to give up the ghost, you are probably thinking of the typical three alternatives. The most obvious, of course, is "wow, what a great justification for buying a new laptop". With laptop prices falling and no such luck with battery prices, this almost makes sense.
But, most of us will probably just bite the bullet and buy a new battery. The third alternative would be to replace the cells in the battery you already have. This article is about the third alternative. Financially, it also looked like a good choice. The first trick is to open the old battery without destroying the plastic or anything important inside. In the case of ThinkPad batteries, there are labels over parts of the glue line. Once you get the opening process started, a utility knife works best in some parts, the wood chisel in others.
Once you have the battery pack open, it is analysis time. There are lots of places that sell replacement Li-ion cells. That's it. Forum / How I hacked my EeePC's battery.
