You are probably in DLL Hell. Next step is a real disk reformat.

Thanks for the advice :)

I totally agree, i love _real_ embedded boards and have never had such a
problem with them.

The above problem is not my system, i am helping someone out. (really :) )

But i do like linux, i have never used QNX... i suppose i should try that
out then.

Thanks.

Alex.
 
Nicholas,

Thankyou very much for that! I will go through that list and try
_everything_ :).

Someone else mentioned 'faraday cage', i thaught of that too - and have
attacked it with cooking foil, but on the old 'fried' motherboards.. I have
not re-attempted that with the new boards.
(perhaps the old ones were already too far gone).

Interesting that wood conducts static.. i had no idea... okay, off to build
an 'easy path' for the static :).

thanks again

Alex.

Question: do you have problems with static discharge to the touch
panel/lcd.
Click to expand...
Yes, the lcd/touch panel is surounded by an aluminium frame, and that can
also (but less often) cause a reboot.

Have you tried the free TSW Webcoder editor?

(Here's one link... http://www.webattack.com/get/tswcoder.html )

It is basically a text editor but with lots of help for html and css. I
find it very good -- and the price makes it easy to like.

Also, the W3C pages ( http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/ ) are another good
source for learning how not to write crappy html in your pages.

Hey, Kev, Please try to use good English... you consistently use
"your" when it should be "you're" ;-)


Oh, does your and you're sound any different?

What has sound got to do with anything? It is the written word we are
dealing with here.

A lot, when I read I sound it out in my head, don't you? Try and read
something without doing so. I bet you a pint of Guinness, you cant.

I don't drink Guinness, and I don't sound it in my head - I just read
it.

Because of the large demand for these, I am raising the price in order
to avoid being out of stock, so this is that last one I will be offering
at this low price.

If you don't want being out of stock, raise the starting price up to $1M, or
better, don't even try to sell it.

<SNIP word problems>

Some Word problems can be due to a corrupt normal.dot (the default
document template). Try renaming this to normal.old, this will force
word to create a fresh one. (Do a search for the file, its location
depends on your version of Word and Windows).

If this is not the problem, you had better restore things how they
were (delete the "new" normal.dot and rename the normal.old back to
normal.dot)

Would have emailed this, but you don't give an email address. In the
auction description is the upper capacitance value a mistake? It looks like
there is a 0.08 uF cap, but the description says the capacitance range is
100 pF to 0.06 uF. So should probably be 0.17 uF?

I don't believe you. You verbalise it in your head. For example, do you
that when you get your tonsils out, you arnt allowed to read, why do you
think is the case?
Click to expand...
All this tells me is that you move your lips when you read? Do you
point at the words too?

If you *really* don't want to deplete your stock just quit puting them up for
auction. Or would that really make any difference?
 
Nobody needs such a hard seel for items they can't make fast enough. Nice try
though.

There is a little better than 76.4% chance that it was before 18:20 too.

In the USA, you can receive various signals from NIST transmitters (10 MHz
"exactly" is one, I think). However, you must be aware of ionospheric
effects that can cause an apparent frequency shift near sunrise and sunset.

The stations in question are WWV (10Mhz) and WWVH (15Mhz) as far as I

know. WWV

broadcasts from Fort Collins, Colorado, and WWVH is based in
Honolulu, Hawaii
if I recall correctly. They at least used to be on other
frequencies as well.
Mostly good for setting a watch by. They broadcast a tone every
second, and a
different one on the minute. I have a piece of equipment somewhere in

my garage

that uses their signal to generate a timing output to control something else
(designed for traffic control I think)



No, the atomic clocks use the WWVB VLF transmitter running at 60 kHz.

Try Atmel for the receiver ICs, originally from Telefunken.

The modulation is in the NIST publications 432(?). It's on
their web site. Or in _Reference Data for Radio Engineers_.

which one? I have three, and there are probably a dozen more....


The one with the title _Reference Data for Radio Engineers_,
from ITT/Howard W. Sams.

In the Eighth Edition, (_Reference Data for Engineers :Radio, Electronics,
Computers,..._), it's in Chapter 1, in the subchapter titled "Standard
Frequencies and Time Signals".

As opposed to the one with the title "reference data for radio
engineers" by Federal Telephone And Radio Corporation

I suppose that editon is a bit too old for WWVB, but I bet it has
the WWV time signal description of that era.

I'm not sure whether that was supposed to be insulting or not. If it was, it
kinda failed. If it wasn't then fair enough.

Kevin does seem to have some written communication problems. But he sure as
hell isn't an idiot. He *does* know his stuff on semiconductors. To argue
otherwise is silly.

Actually there's nothing stange about it at all. You simply need to design for
EMC.

Chances are that the humidity was high when you didn't have a problem. I guess
the air has dried and now there's static about, you're seeing the weaknesses of
the design.

In Europe ( and elsewhere ) we have to design to withstand electrostatic
discharges or we can't legally sell our kit.
