Re: [AI] Signing off as a moderator
Hi Harishji, I feel very sad to hear the unfortunate decision by you. But I pray you to reconsider the decision and continue as moderator. I know your hard efforts in maintaining this huge list. hope it will not collapse like inclusive planet. for short time, auto pilot mode is OK. but for long time, we need your abled leadership. Where was Kiran Khaja working? can we trace him from past information? if completely impossible, can't we get the credentials from the server owners? let us discuss on finding a solution for this problem and at any cost, make sure that the list continues and you continue as moderator. yours Umesha S E Assistant Professor of Economics, Tumkur University, Tumakuru, Karnataka 9480662242 On 2/17/17, Kotian, H P <hpkot...@rbi.org.in> wrote: > Hi All > > Thanks everyone for your warm words.

hi, I wanted to give some clarification hence posting to the group. no, study leave is different from FDP. for fdp, the granting authority is UGC where as for study leave, the granting authority is university. it is provided as per the UGC regulations for minimum qualification for appointment of teachers and maintenance of standards in higher education regulations 2010 regulation no. 8.2. study leave is also granted for 2 years + one additional year. but, I need leave only for one year. getting the FDP granted is difficult because it has to pass through the same university people and they play delay tactics + delay in UGC office. I don't have enough time for all of that. within december first week of this year I have to submit my thesis. on oral enquiry, they are saying that they are not willing to deny me, but they are in the fear that other teachers might also ask for the same leave keeping my example. they are playing sympothy. you know that is useless sympothy.

Avinash, yes, UGC has financing power, but it never exercises that power. in the example given by you, it has done so on the instruction by the court. is there any example of UGC spopping the funds to any central or state university for not following its guidelines? UGC is the most sluggish body in the country and we have several examples to prove that. now, in the case said by me, can we do anything? out of 100+ posts notified by Tumkur University in the year 2010, there was no post reserved for disabled.

[AI] study leave denied without reason by university
Friends, I have a problem. I applied for study leave which is provided as per UGC regulation for completing my Ph.D. the university replyed after a delay of 2 and a half month saying to use the leaves in my account to complete my Ph.D. normally, leaves in account is taken for CL and EL. we can get only 15 CLs and 10 ELs per year. they did not cite any reason for not granting the study leave. I applied for leave for an year. what can I do next and possible consequences? if I fight it outside, is there a chance that they may give me torture in various other ways?

I also support the initiative. what can I do? similarly in Tumkur university, which is a state university, no post was reserved for pwd. the problem is that VI comes at the 4th position in state roster. each department had only 2 posts of assistant professor. so reservation matrix was GM 1, SC 1. can we do anything in such situations? also I have been denied the priority in placement.

Re: [AI] Unicode Dilemma
Nice explanation by Him Prasad Gautam. In addition, if you want to convert between these 2 systems, you can use windows calculator. Type the decimal number into calculator, select the hex radio button (shortcut key is F5). The calculator displays the converted number. To convert back, type hexadecimal number when in hex mode and choose decimal radio button (shortcut f6). “Further, what is the precise way to convert the decimal characters to letters in case there's no NumPad present in a laptop?” I could not understand. Can you elaborate? I don’t know any solution for other programs like notepad. Perhaps you can convert it in word and copy it into notepad as there will be rare occasions where you need such things. If you tell your exact problem, we can find proper solution. “While JAWS, by default gives the result in decimal.” I don’t use jaws method of creating characters and don’t know how to convert it to hexadecimal. If you are facing problem in any specific situation and explain it, we can find alternatives.

Re: [AI] Unicode Dilemma
Hi, 66 for capital B is decimal code. 66 for small f is hexodecimal code. use which one you want. usually, unicode characters are represented in hexodecimal mode. to get the code for a character spoken by jaws, move the cursor to it, press numpad 5 thrice quickly. it can give you decimal or hexodecimal value based on your jaws configuration. to change it, go to configuration manager, go to graphics and symbols, check the "speak the character codes in hex" checkbox.

Re: [AI] India's 1st Blind-friendly Train Runs Between Mysuru, Varanasi
Friends, Why are you arguing consistently for only one mode of access? I don’t know who said Braille is bad. But, every mode of access has its own merits and demerits and it equally applies to Braille. We need to understand that Braille is not the panacea for all the accessibility problems. I have seen here and many times some people argue consistently for Braille without looking into its usability. It is clear that Braille is very useful in locating seats, births, toilets, emergency exits, reserved seats for disabled, etc. There is no second word in it. No one can deny that. It is also useful in reading coach number after getting into the coach. For example, if one has boarded a coach by asking some lay person on the platform and he wants to confirm after boarding, whether what that person told is correct or not. All this is good but it does not end the problem. I am not against Braille, or south western railway, or Mysore division. What I meant to say is that the issue is not yet over. One cannot identify the coach number before boarding. If one has to travel safely, he has to stand on the platform approximately at the position where his desired coach will arrive. For this to happen seamlessly, the audio announcement should be implemented to the polls on the platforms having display boards for the coaches. Also the coaches should have audio announcement system. Because, sometimes the coaches may not stand at the proper positions, or there may not be the prior display of coach array on the platform. Someone may oppose this on behalf of deaf blind. But, on the same line, I can oppose Braille on behalf of those who don’t know Braille. But I won’t do it as it would lead us nowhere. What I oppose clearly is claiming a train, or any service for that matter, as completely accessible just by putting some Braille labels. For example: most of you know the accessible ATM movement led by Indian bank energized by our own friend Prashanth. In our university campus, there is a state bank of Mysore ATM which has some Braille label on cash dispenser, slip dispenser, etc. it also has an earphone jack. I was very happy on seeing that in the illusion that it an accessible ATM. But, upon examination, it was found that it is not. It does not have audio output but just an earphone socket which gives you nothing. After this I enquired the bank official if there any chance of implementing accessible ATM in that machine in coming days. They told not at all in near future. If you claim this train as completely accessible on the basis of Braille, one day SBM may also claim our university ATM as completely accessible. Conclusion: , we have to appreciate, encourage, support all such efforts towards making the things accessible whether it is audio, Braille, etc. at the same time, we must be cautious on any wrong claims of complete accessibility and make the authorities aware that many things remain undone. Thank you for reading my lengthy mail.

Re: [AI] Maneka raises objections to proposed Disability Bill
Kanchan Pamnani, Madam, Please define inclusion and accessibility with respect to mentally disabled and physically disabled. Also give me a legal definition of mental illness. To tell you frankly, I don’t know what is exactly in the RPD bill. But I am sure that it is far better than the existing law. Even if there are miner problems, it can be corrected through amendments. I am curious on the fact that while many acts get tens and hundreds of amendments, the PWD act has not got any amendment in 20 years. Now it is more than 2 decades and much has changed and amending this act is useless. But at least the forth coming act should get amendments as and when needed. But some major problems if any, should be corrected in the beginning. But, that should not lead at any cost to undue delaying of the passing. I don’t support the delay. Now why I put above 2 questions is, there is lot of difference in rehabilitation, inclusion of these 2 kinds of disabilities. The identification, needs and possibilities are different. The employability of physically disabled and mentally disabled is different. As per the central government rules issued as per Supreme Court guidelines, the 3 percent reservation should be calculated on the basis of entire cadre, and the same number of posts be reserved within the identified categories of posts. What if the identified posts are different for different disability? What if the number of posts in the 2 groups are different? i.e. suppose there are 100 posts reserved for VH and 500 posts are identified for OH? Certainly the quota for these 2 should be different. And then what should be the policy for shifting the posts within different subcategories of disability? This is a complicated issue and needs to be solved. As per PWD act, if eligible candidates are not available for a notified post, it should be kept backlog and not be shifted to other kinds of disabilities until the next recruitment. But, most of the recruiting agencies don’t know this and not implementing this. In one of my RTI cases, even the Karnataka Public Service Commission and even the then Karnataka Information Commissioner thought that it can easily be shifted to other disabilities in the same recruitment. Intrasectoral differences and disputes are being misused by governments to delay and deny the provisions I agree. But, we have to understand that there are some real concerns and issues in this regard. Yesterday I went to the 30th annual meeting of Karnataka State Government Disabled Employees’ Association. There was a voice from one of the members from Vidhanasowda (administrative building of the state government) itself that Visually challenged are not properly concerned and represented in the association. He seemed so disappointed that he expressed willingness to give up the membership. I am not a right person to comment on the issue since I am junior in the association and not have the right experience. But from outside it gives a clue from the fact that most of the core committee officers are orthopaedically challenged. All this is outside legal matters I know. But let it not have its way into legal matters as well. Encroachment should not be there within disabled communities and there should be legal provisions to protect it. when mental disability is added, the problem will agrovate.

Re: [AI] Chandigarh: Classmates made fun of disability, stabbed him
When I was in 2nd standard, fellow (sighted) classmates were teasing me by putting stones in my school bag. Once tired by this, I threw a stone into one among them.

Re: [AI] Treat Acid victims as disabled :Supreme Court
Nirmal, Feel the plight of those girls (and boys too) (not acid victims) who are abandoned by their own families for their disability. No one is against providing reservation to acid victims in the disability quota if the same is increased proportionatlly. Let the government or the court itself increase the quota from existing 3% to say 4% and create a 4th sub quota and include the acid victims in that. Today acid victims are not a vast number. Tomorrow some other group will be included. Ultimately our community of physically challenged people looses its share and goes back to earlier bad conditions. I am not against these downtrodden communities. But my only argument is why providing the reservation in this 3% only? Why not in other 97%? Why all the burden of the society be born by these deprived disabled class? Why not other parts have their share in this duty?

Re: [AI] Treat Acid victims as disabled :Supreme Court
Dear George, not all acid victims are disabled as per the definition under PWD act 1995. what about them? the present judgement is about them. for those who become disabled by the cause of acid attack, this judgement is redundant as they can claim reservation under existing law. Vashishth sir, why should they forego their share unless the government or the court itself increase the quota?

Re: [AI] FYI: Urban development ministry frames accessibility guidelines for buildings
How many guidelines? As once I searched, there are 3-4 guidelines applicable to my area. But, none is legally enforceable. Moreover, most of them are not scientifically defined, not updated to incorporate recent changes in technology, differ one from another. More importantly, what is the penalty for violating these guidelines? Nothing. They are not officially notified in gazette. Simply the authorities like commissioners may orally caution the people involved in construction. What if they turn a deaf ear towards those words? For example, in Tumkur University campus, (Karnataka), which is mostly built after many of these guidelines are framed (I avoid the term enforced), many buildings are inaccessible. Whom should I blame? On what basis? What is the penalty? Will the inaccessibility be corrected after complaint? The present guidelines might also be one more among those old ones. But I hope they should not be. If we fail so utterly in the process of making the law itself, I am afraid how many generations we should wait to see the "Accessible India". Thanks to the moderators and others at least we are seeing "Access India" in this generation.

Re: [AI] Treat Acid victims as disabled :Supreme Court
though I am not against the acid attack victims, this measure is not acceptable to me. theoretically as said by amar, and practically adding more and more category of people to disabled quota will harm the real disabled. let them add these groups by increasing the disabled quota to 10% instead of existing 3 or 5% (In some cases). I also heard somewhere that there is an attempt to add diabetics to the category. if all this if allowed to happen, the real disabled will never get benifits out of this quota. even mentally illness should be kept out of the quota. it is an injustice done by judiciary.

Re: [AI] zotero accessibility
Dear muruganandan, since JAWS is not a open source, the ZOTERO team may not be able to test the Zotero application running jaws. if that is the case, one of us can test it for jaws and give feedback. we have many technical experts in the list. They also repeated that Zotero was too small a project to make proper accessibility checks. checking accessibility is not the big issue. we have accessibility testers. they have to develop the accessible version. Hope most of the options that are accessible with NVDA will be accessible with JAWS. no, here there is a substantial difference between the 2. the jaws is not able to intercept the screen display elements and screen text. You may also install the Zutila Ad-on which gives some more keyboard options for using Zotero options... where can I get it? I couldnot get it googling it. moreover, the problem is not of key commands. it is regarding reading. jaws is not at all reading the text displayed on the screen. we can neither use jaws cursor, nor develop jaws scripts. you may read through these discussions at the Zotero forum additionally: I will go through when time permits and get back. thank you very much Umesha On 9/16/15, muruganandan.k <send2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear sir, > > since JAWS is not a open source, the ZOTERO team may not be able to > test the Zotero application running jaws.

Re: [AI] Request for supporting me to fight against the injustice done to me in EFL University
Hi Priyanka, don't get depressed. before trying to fight on the matter outside the university, try to settle it internally. practically speaking, even if you get success in fight with your department, there may be troubles in your course time. first of all, talk with your superviser. what is he/she is saying on the matter? after that, try to contact prof. madhava prasad and find what is the reason you failed in the course. what does rule book says about the second option to candidates who fail in the course work? in our department in University of Mysore, out of about 90 + candidates, 7 failed. they were given second chance and all passed in that exam. with best wishes, Umesha S.

Re: [AI] Statistics and econometrics
Hi Ekinath, though not an expert, I have learnt Econometrics. so, may I know what are the specific issues? since now a days I am not visiting Access India regularly due to my Ph.D. work burden, I may miss the leading mails. in that case, you may contact me through my mobile number +919480662242. though I agree with Him Prasad on some facts like excel has lot more potential capabilities than we know, I don't have hope in relaying upon it for advanced econometric operations. I don't know much about VBA coding. but doing it with regular formulas and data analysis functions will not lead us a long way. say for example to run a granger causality test on a group of variables, we have to run many regression functions with different parameter sets using these excel tools which do not support auto-recalculation. doing the same in e-views requires only few clicks.

Re: [AI] Statistics and econometrics
Yes Sir, we don't even need to know VBA coding for macro recording. we can make a sequence of built in functions automatic and make into single function. I was not talking about it. excel has a very good feature called automatic recalculation which most of us kno that recalculates the results of a formula as soon as the value in the data cell changes. excel also has a tool called regression which is a part of bundle called data analysis. but the results obtained by regression tool are entered as plane values rather than as formulas and hence do not have the auto recalculation feature. so, if any data cell changes its value, we have to run all the regressions that depend on it.

Even banking, that involves lots of security requirements, have mostly done away with them. They instead use OTPs. Now for railway ticketing, people have to pay the money to get the ticket. They have to inter lots of sensitive, and ultimately verifiable information as part of the process of payment. So where is the need for captchas? And if an essential service like transportation access is designed in such a way that it is inaccessible to the disabled despite the presence of accessible technology, I don't think there can be any defense. Particularly when it is a government institution. The railways is as much mine and other disabled like you and me. When the railway ticket booking site is designed in such a manner that shuts us out, what can be the logic for the same? There is no rime or reason for the incredibly hopeless who have designed this atrocious and pathetic site not to have provided an accessible audio captcha if the paranoid lot are so concerned about security. How on earth can we defend the same? I book my air tickets with mobile apps like Cleartrip and Make My Trip. The process is pretty much functionally accessible. But when I try to book a ticket from the hopeless IRCTC using the same apps, the thing would ask for a captcha to be entered. I had contacted Cleartrip about the same, they said they are quite helpeless in this regard as it is the IRCTC requirement. And forget captchas, now that we can't even enter the date of travel.

Sir I did not understand the following lines. Not just to get acquainted with it, but more importantly to find out the performance of your audio and wi fi devices with that and check if a driver update helps there instead. one more thing regarding driver compatibility. lenovo has hosted the drivers on its site for windows xp. doesnt it justify our claim that those drivers should be compatible with the operating system for which they are said to be so and function correctly? Umesha On 11/26/11, prateek aggarwal prateekagarwa...@gmail.com wrote: Dear umesha, Right, so the root cause for the issue has been pinpointed. Believe it or not, people using atheros wi fi adapters are some of the most frequent complainants of such types of cases. Athero is cheaper than some of its major competitors, hence many companies are preferring their hardware in their machines. The wiggly red lines that you are seeing are definetly because of the high latency that its experiencing. Technically, that means that the wi fi adapter is taking more resources than it should actually take. in regards of solutions, there does not seem a complete rectification of this problem, however driver update can be of some help. Try updating the drivers for your athero’s wi fi device and see if it makes a difference. As per my recent observation, athero has not been updating their drivers for windows xp and most of their latest drivers claims to work well with vista or windows 7. However, its worth keeping yours to the latest possible, of course the one that’s compatible with your operating system. If that doesn’t work, try reaching to lenovo technical support and telling them the problem. You basically have to inquire if its possible to change the hardware under your sales term. It has been seen that these companies have made their legal policies smart enough to save themselves from any possible hazard. Especially in the case of devices and their compatibility with various operating system. Someone on the thread has said that a dos based machine means that its compatible with any operating system, but I remind of a judgement given in united states sometime back where it was said that a dos based machine means that the company has not particularly tested the machine with different operating systems, hence it would not be responsible for any hardware compatibility issues. Legally, whole claim for the compatibility is being smartly averted to the device manufacturers. Though you’ve been condemning to use windows7, but I would still like to advice that please give it a try at least. Not just to get acquainted with it, but more importantly to find out the performance of your audio and wi fi devices with that and check if a driver update helps there instead. For your information, windows 7 has an xp mode, which pretty much brings your old days back. Also, there are other fantastic programs like classic shell etc which restores your xp experience to quite an extent. Like it or not, not all the latest devices have enough support available for windows xp now, and the reason behind this is Microsoft policies where they have deliberately promoted vista and windows7 over xp from past few years. It has been already announced that the support for windows xp would no longer be available after 2014, so I personally find this a wise decision to upgrade the OS, specially if its causing issues to make compatibility with latest hardware devices. Oh and some of you guys have written to me off the list to ask my contact number. Those would like to get in touch with me through phone would like to note, its: +91-9928341197. Hope this helps.

Re: [AI] audio device not working
Hi shona man, I don’t think that BIOS update can be reverted. Just because of the fact that you have a restore point for that time, it cannot be concluded that it can be done. As per my knowledge, system restore creates a point whenever there is a change to system files. But BIOS is stored in the rom chip mounted on the motherboard. The BIOS update program might have made some changes to some system files in addition to changing BIOS information. The following pages uphold my statement. http://www.ehow.com/how_7415054_uninstall-bios-update.html http://forum.notebookreview.com/toshiba/306148-remove-bios-update.html Any way it seems when you restored your system, it is likely that your wifi driver might have gone. So please check after installing the wifi driver whether the problem re-appears or not. Also check using that latency checker I mentioned in my previous mail. If you get the same red bars (2000 micro seconds and above), or you get the same sound distortion problem, it is certain that your machine also has that latency problem. If that is the case, we shall together complain against lenovo. Even if you do not use wifi now, it should work properly as you have paid your hard earned money for that device also. You may need it at some times in future. Please get back after testing your machine. Ideapad are the machines designed for multimedia. Hence they should support streaming media and should be free from latency problem. Hello all the list members, I request all of you who are using lenovo ideapad laptops to make the above test of your machine. If any of you get the same problem, get back to the list so that we shall together fight for it. Dear prateek aggarwal ji, Please provide your knowledgeable suggestions on what best can we do next for this problem.

Re: [AI] audio device not working
is with the driver, ask atheros to strictly follow Windows Device Driver Kit (DDK) documentation by the Microsoft and immediately release the updated driver in compliance with the said documentation and communicate the same to me. If the problem is with the hardware, there are two possibilities. 1. If the problem is a manufacturing defect, you have to give me a replacement immediately. 2. If it is the defect in product design itself, you have to get the properly designed network cards from atheros and replace the existing cards with the newly designed ones immediately. If that is not possible in reasonable time, you have to give me the suitable compensation. Finally I want to tell you one thing, if you do not act positively this time and follow that bad practice of closing the case one sidedly without consulting me and solving the problem, I am certain to lodge a complaint against you in the consumer court.

Re: [AI] audio device not working
the ram slots on some motherboard blocks the internal air to pass, and starts producing system slowdown therefore. Audio latency: Some sound devices have the problem of audio latency, which make the delay or distortion happen. To check if any of your devices has the problem of audio latency, you can use any one of the software applications made for this task. I prefer installing DPC Latency Checker, which is a small, free application that allows you to analyze the amount of latency in your system. Please search for “DPC Latency Checker” on google in order to download this, as I do not seem to remember the website at the moment. Bios update: You’ve already said, bios update can bring some positive results, so going with that is not a bad idea. Virus: In many cases, simply the viruses, spiwares, malwares etc cause your system to stuck. Though you’ve already said that you’ve tried doing clean install of the operating system several times, but some viruses might be citting inside of your hard disk in drives other than the one you have your operating system, and causing the problem. Presuming that you might have already tried scanning your system against viruses with a good antivirus software, try to do a clean sweep of your hard drive and then install the operating system and see if the issue still persists. Alternatively, install the operating system in a different, external hard drive and boot your system with that to test if it’s the issue with this hard drive’s content only. I’m saying this specifically because you’ve already described that some engineers have tried running the system with external hard disk and the results were pleasing. Operating system: Whatever hard that you try, sometimes the operating system that you’re using is not compatible with newer hardware devices. If you’re sure that the problems that you’re facing occurs only with windows xp and not with win 7 or any other operating system, upgrading the OS is not a bad idea either. I’d like to ensure you that windows7 is a pretty wonderful operating system and you won’t find any specific problem with this. Most of the software venders have already made their applications compatible with win7, and many are making it so fast. If you are finding the problem with xp and not with win7, I’d advice you straight to upgrade, being rigid will not serve you much fruitful stuff. Finally, as far as my experience goes, every new thing that you try teaches you something, so rather getting frustrated, enjoy whatever option you try and It’ll surely allow you to learn something new. My apologies for such a lengthy email. I just could not stop myself when I’ve started writing once. Hope that this will help some of you. Regards, Prateek agarwal.

The URL of the download page is http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/in/en/driversdownloads/APR_Driver_List.aspx?CategoryID=307140OS=Windows%20XP Though I repeatedly tell them that I want win xp only, many people ask me to change my os to win7.

To shona man, I want to tell you one thing, that engineer was a junior and a trainee and myself I explained many things to him. Yes I have given up the idea of upgrading bios. But tell me one thing, bios is a firmware update. Can we uninstall that with system restore which seems to be software maintenance tool? To prateek aggarwal, You need not apologize for the lengthy mail because it was informative and such things are necessary to give clear ideas in order to solve these difficult problems. Thank you for the info that I am not the only person facing it. But let it help me in getting the right solution. I downloaded the proper drivers from lenovo site itself. The drivers are said to be compatible with XP. Moreover, I also downloaded the latest driver from realtek site which is updated only one month ago. I am currently running win XP SP2. Now I have to check with SP3 which is the latest service pack for XP. Should I install any other patch in addition to SP3? Yes it may be the result of a wrong soundcard circuitries since I have onboard soundcard. But I think its expensive to buy an extra sound card only to test this issue. RAM: I have 4GB of RAM which is a single chip. So no way can I remove one chip in order to test. Also, being a visually impaired its difficult for me to open the case and do all those checkups. Audio latency: I have downloaded DPC Latency Checker and I have to test my machine with it. Due to problems I mentioned earlier, I am not been able to do all those things in time. But I have one doubt about it, if I disable my sound device, its more likely to show no latency. But then what would be the solution since I cannot work without sound device? Any way, it’s a good programme and I use it and get the results. BIOS: many people guard me against installing BIOS update. I am also skeptic about it because we cannot uninstall BIOS update once installed. Virus: no way it’s the virus effect. Because it’s a new machine and blank hard disk. It has nothing except OS, drivers, jaws and few audio files to check audio output. I have not even formatted drives other than system drive. Win 7: I am not against win7. But I need time learn and adjust to interface and also to change the versions of my applications to suit with new OS which I do not have now. Even I have

In that list, that realtek audio driver is said to be for windows xp only. Its version is 5.10.0.6267 and it is a 106 MB file and updated on 9-3-11. The URL of the download page is http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/in/en/driversdownloads/APR_Driver_List.aspx?CategoryID=307140OS=Windows%20XP Though I repeatedly tell them that I want win xp only, many people ask me to change my os to win7. I have already registered a complaint but not with the number you provided but on 180030029929. Shall I register once again with the number you provided? The engineer visited my site and checked by replacing the hard disk with one with win 7 installed on it. It ran smoothly for few minutes. He tried reinstalling the driver and it did not solve the problem. I don’t think that problem is with my OS because the same OS was running without any error on other machines with realtek audio. Now I am of the doubt whether fault is with hardware or driver. The engineer reported that its with driver after checking with win 7 for few minutes. Yesterday I downloaded and installed another driver from realtek site which is updated somewhere in October and it also had same problem. I don’t think realtek whose audio devices are sold so widely has compatibility problem with win xp. Further even in win xp, it runs smoothly for few minutes. Later it gets struck. Mostly running for longer times like 40-50 minutes will cause it to happen. When it occurs, all the processes get slower. Mouse pointer jumps instead of moving smoothly. I don’t know about running win 7 for such longer time. Some times it get corrected itself. Can these symptoms happen with driver problems? Or is it a hardware (circuit) problem? One more information I want to give: it has a nvidia graphic card for which I have no driver for win xp. It was showing 5 items with yellow question mark; one video device and 4 audio devices in device manager. But disabling all of them either through device manager or BIOS did not solve the problem. To sheik: I tried many times to call you but I did not get you.

Some of the driver are for 64 bit make sure u installed one which is compatible with Z570 and windows xp. Since the machine came with free dos then it is supposed to be run properly with each os. They cann't say that only win 7 will run properly. Ask the technical team to register ur complaint on 18004259003 and engeneer will visit the sight. But once again I will say that make sure about the driver which u installed.

Another onething is that, Bios upgradation has nothing to do with this issue since bios deals with the circuit/system devices. Logically, it is an internal problem under your respective operating system (XP).

[AI] audio device not working
Hi shona man, I also purchased a lenovo laptop. the model i bought is ideapad Z570 59 307654. but my audio device is not working properly. after starting the windows, it works fine for few minuts. after that, the sound gets struck and due to that, some noicy br sound is heard from with every sound output. jaws does not run even for 2 minuts. this also causes slow performance of the overall system process. no workable solution has been obtained even from technical support team. it works fine with windows 7. they tell me to switch to windows 7. but i do not want to go for windows 7 now. do you have any solution or idea for this problem? experiences, ideas and solutions from other fellow list members is also welcomed and respectfully appreciated. yours Umesha Register for AccessIndia convention 2011(November 12-13) at: http://www.accessindia.org.in/harish/convention.htm Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

[AI] Lenovo experience
Hi Shona Man, I am also thinking of leaving dell and going for lenovo. As you said in one of your earlier posts, you have about 15 days of experience of Lenovo IdeaPad Z570 59 304317. So I want your experience of that machine. Also I have the following questions. 1. Why did you drop the other 2 models that you chose earlier against this model? 2. Which operating system are you running? Is it windows XP professional 32 bit sp2? Is the machine running comfortably this OS without errors? 3. Where did you get the drivers? Is it through the venders’ CD or from the web site? If from the web, is it from lenovo site or other site? 4. Are all the devices like Ethernet, wifi, Bluetooth etc are working fine? 5. Is the jaws functioning properly without any hurdle particularly with video intercept? 6. Approximately how many hours a day you use it? Does it get heated after longer working time? I am asking this because one of the representative from lenovo said me that these series machines cannot work longer continuously and get heated. She suggested me to go to thinkpad machines. 7. How is your battery backup time? It is said that they can run only 2 hours max. 8. What are the accessories that you got? Experiences of other list members on lenovo is also welcomed.

Re: [AI] windows 7 32-bit on 64-bit dell inspiron laptop
Dell Vostro series laptops come with DOS and hence are 32 bit machines. Isn’t it? Umesha On 10/31/11, Shona Man shonam...@gmail.com wrote: Hi friends, I have discussed already extensively upon this topic. I also thought to perchase Dell laptop but I dropped the idea just because of the dichotomy of 64 bit windows. Dell has stopped providing 32 bit OS. Even with other manufacturers in neer future only 64 bit will be available as 32 bit is vanishing from the market. Finally I perchased Lenovo machine with no operating system and I have installed xp upon it and I am enjoying with my all softwares which are easely supposed to run upon 32 bit platform. Its true that in future not so much applications will be available for 32 bit but till now we dont have various softwares which could be run on 64 bit platform due to various reasons. But one thing I want to asure that at least for next five years the softwares for supporting xp will be available. As still you can find various softwares which support to windows ME, and windows 2,000. Therefore till any solution is achieved with 64 bit prefer xp or 32 bit win 7. Its very right observation that may Dell would not supply drivers for 32 bit since it has stopped that to supply with 32 bit. I recommend u to go for any machine which is having no OS and install xp upon it urself. I will not recommend u to pay for the window which u at the end of the day have to uninstall.
