Hi Dudley, yes, I think this is the only one explain for my problem, my VISTA 64 bit is SP1 and digital sign disable is only apparent. If in the hardware resource FLEX5000 appears ready to use, this is false. The hardware (F5K) is not seen by driver, stop ! There are no reasons for MS to

Sounds like its time to take the XP fallback option or ask HP for the 32 bit version. I have heard where Dell has done the x64 to x32 relicensing but you can alway downgrade to XP. I think MS even has just extended the time frame they will allow that. Why go thru the pain for 800 mb of extra

Hi Neal, I would be very happy if HP downgrade this PC's family to XP but I think this is unlikely :-| This PC was born as multimedia center, all in one, with a super multitouch 22 wide screen. I have explored deep the HP website but there are not informations about a possible XP or VISTA32

Try moving the cards, especially the 1394 card, to different slots on your motherboard. This can result in the card using different interrupt lines, which can change DPC/ISR latency. It's not a slam-dunk of a solution, but it's worth trying. Peter K1PGV

I think its part of the OEM license from MS that they have to if requested. Ask them and see if they will (theoretically all copies of Vista have rights to a XP serial number). I think you have to talk with customer support (my brother just went thru the exact same thing with Dell). They will not

Hi Harry, My recommendations presented in priority order: 1. Visit www.tweakhound.com and follow his optimization steps for XP. I would stay conservative (don't do any he doesn't do and on the services take the conservative route). This will free up quite a bit of disk and processor 2. Turn off

Observe the spectral power in a 500 Hz filter. I suspect you are using a wide filter and you have averaging enabled. Power is calculated within the pass band of the RX filter. -Tim -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Glenn Christopherson

The meter reads, as it is should, the sum (integral) of all the power inside the filter. The noise floor on the panadapter will ALWAYS be less than the meter as a result. This is correct and is why the meter is about the most accurate one in amateur radio. Bob ARRL SDR Working Group Chair
