Go to any spot in recording with a mouse click! Love it!
Everyone else probably knew it already, but I just discovered that when you hover the mouse over the Media Center window during playback that by simply clicking on any spot in the "time line" the recording instantly jumps to that position in the recording! No rewinding, no fast-forwarding......just pick your spot and click to go there. A really nice addition to Media Center! Now, someone please post that they didn't know that so I don't feel so, um, uninformed.

I'm on a Vista PC right now watching a recording and the "time line bar" I mentioned doesn't even show up until you pause or hit one of the little arrows at the bottom to rewind, fast forward etc. And no, you couldn't click your mouse pointer on the bar showing your position in the recording and go to anywhere on the recording before Win7. Did you actually try the feature? I'm sure you would know it didn't exist in XP MCE2005 or Vista. I'm not talking about the little arrows at the bottom right of the Media Center screen......it's the black line that pops up when you move your mouse over the current recording as it plays.......click it anywhere from one end to the other and it immediately goes to that spot nearly instantaneously!

Can't LOGIN after connect with Remote Dektop (just via RD!?)
I am trying to work remotely with my Windows Vista, so I enabled Remote Desktop, so just to try if all is working fine I connect from my laptop (Vista) to the computer that has Windows 7, I was able to login without problems I do few things remotely and then I disconnect.
Then I try to log-in in my computer with Windows 7, and when I press the CTRL+ALT+DEL, select the session that is connected (that means the one that says Logged on) and type the right password, a black screen appears for very minor seconds, and then again the startup page (where is needed to press CTRL+ALT+DEL), so I come back to the machine that I connected previously with Remote Desktop and I am able to be in!, so why I can't login now in the Windows 7 machine (physically I mean?)... any toughts?, yeah maybe with a restart it will be fixed, but I am very worried since that is a common procedure in my case...
Thanks!

I think this is normal
Remote desktop is for administrators, so you cannot login while admin is loged remotely, because you will see what admin is doing.

Trying to cheat the Single Hemisphere limitation
I'm trying to cheat the single hemisphere problem (for a bounding box) by finding which latitude is further away from the equator and using the hemisphere. Not the best solution, but at least I can get some results. Possibly a better solution might be to split the bounding box into two boxes, one for each hemisphere.
Anyways, this is what i'm trying to do and it's not working. I swear i understood this spatial stuff, until a simple problem like this stumps me.
this is my code :-
| DECLARE @BoundingBox GEOGRAPHY | |
| DECLARE @TLLong DECIMAL(18, 10), | |
| @TLLat DECIMAL(18, 10), | |
| @BRLong DECIMAL(18, 10), | |
| @BRLat DECIMAL(18, 10) | |
| -- Hardocode some values for the purpose of this test. | |
| SET @TLLong = -98.4375 | |
| SET @TLLat = 82.11838360691267 | |
| SET @BRLong = 98.4375 | |
| SET @BRLat = 0 | |
| SET @BoundingBox = GEOGRAPHY::STGeomFromText('POLYGON((' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @TLLong) + ' ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @TLLat) + ', | |
| ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @TLLong) + ' ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @BRLat) + ', | |
| ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @BRLong) + ' ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @BRLat) + ', | |
| ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @BRLong) + ' ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @TLLat) + ', | |
| ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @TLLong) + ' ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @TLLat) + '))', 4326) |
So what i've tried to do is create a bounding box that is, more or less, a massive part of the northern hemisphere. To generate this polygon, i've started at the top left and gone anti-clockwise around to make the box, ending back at the top again.
Polygon doesn't generate -> it's the standard sql error...
Microsoft.SqlServer.Types.GLArgumentException: 24205: The specified input does not represent a valid geography instance because it exceeds a single hemisphere. Each geography instance must fit inside a single hemisphere. A common reason for this error is that a polygon has the wrong ring orientation.
Could anyone shed some light on what i've done horribly wrong? I'm taking a guess it might have something to do with the curvature of the earth and the projected box i'm trying to construct?
cheers.

Sounds like a pretty good guess to me!
To help explain the "Within a hemisphere" limitation, you might want to check out the EnvelopeAngle() method. Basically, the result of EnvelopeAngle() gives you the angle (in degrees) between the center of a geography instance and the furthest most outlying point of that instance. So it's one way of defining the geographic 'spread' of an instance.
EnvelopeAngle() can come in useful in your case because, in order to fit within a single hemisphere, the result of the EnvelopeAngle() method must therefore be less than 90 degrees. (Otherwise, at least one point of the instance cannot be contained in the same hemisphere).
With this in mind, keeping the same latitude bounds as you are using currently, you can work out the left and right longitudes of the maximum possible extent of your bounding box as follows:
| DECLARE @BoundingBox geography |
| DECLARE @TLLong DECIMAL(18, 10), |
| @TLLat DECIMAL(18, 10), |
| @BRLong DECIMAL(18, 10), |
| @BRLat DECIMAL(18, 10) |
| -- Hardocode some values for the purpose of this test. |
| SET @TLLong = -89.962186901 |
| SET @TLLat = 82.11838360691267 |
| SET @BRLong = 89.962186901 |
| SET @BRLat = 0 |
| SET @BoundingBox = geography::STGeomFromText('POLYGON((' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @TLLong) + ' ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @TLLat) + ', |
| ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @TLLong) + ' ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @BRLat) + ', |
| ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @BRLong) + ' ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @BRLat) + ', |
| ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @BRLong) + ' ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @TLLat) + ', |
| ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @TLLong) + ' ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), @TLLat) + '))', 4326) |
| SELECT @BoundingBox, |
| @BoundingBox.EnvelopeAngle() |
The result of EnvelopeAngle() in this case is 89.9999713521094.
Attempting to expand the bounding box further will take this result over 90, leading to the geography instance being invalid, so this is your largest bounding box (with these latitudes).
------------------------------------

If so, rather than creating a large rectangular polygon and trying to do SELECT * WHERE location.STIntersects(Polygon), have you considered taking an alternative approach, something like:
| SELECT * |
| WHERE |
| POI.Lat BETWEEN TLLat AND BRLat |
| AND POI.Long BETWEEN BLLong AND TRLong |
That way, you never need to worry about creating the polygon in the first place...

as such, i was always trying do to STIntersects(..). I will definitely give your BETWEEN code a go in a few mins :)
One question...
Quote: Tanoshimi :: With this in mind, keeping the same latitude bounds as you are using currently, you can work out the left and right longitudes of the maximum possible extent of your bounding box as follows (bolded added by myself)
Why longitude? i thought the hemisphere problem was latitude and we can't have a bounding box that goes over the equator .. meaning .. i don't care about the longitude (or vertical) sides of the box?
Now, you're suggesting I use this EnvelopeAngle() method (i must admit, i've never heard of that .. oops!) which gives the angle (in degress) between the centre and the furthest point. Ok.. so if i have a simply polygon rectangle (eg. the viewport of a VirtualEarth/GoogleMap map), then this method. Er.. I think i need to see a picture of this.. Time to use google... umm..yeah. gotcha :: http://blogs.msdn.com/davidlean/archive/2008/10/27/sql-2008-spatial-samples-part-n-3-of-n-performance-improvement-methods.aspx (hint: also one of my top spatial blogs i keep tabs on .. and a fellow Aussie I think!).
ok, Dave has a good quote about the STEnvelopeAngle() ..
Dave :: You can think of EnvelopeAngle as a distance. Your distance is measuring "Degrees of Longitude" or "Degrees of Latitude" so it is an Angle & not a linear measurement. It is the Radius of the bounding circle.
OK -interesting. the Radius. Ok .. but how does having the radius help us? In your example above, you said:
Tanoshimi: The result of EnvelopeAngle() in this case is 89.9999713521094.
Attempting to expand the bounding box further will take this result over 90, leading to the geography instance being invalid, so this is your largest bounding box (with these latitudes).
Now, the reason why it did that, was because the longest distance was the two sides, not the top and bottom. The shape provided was a rectangle, with the East<->West being longer than the North<->South (think widescreen, cause the viewport was generated on a widescreen monitor).
But what i don't get is how this can help? you see, i don't want to modify the horizontal length of the bounding box, just the height (so it doesn't go over the equator). I can't see how the EnvelopeAngle() can help with that.

Nope - the hemisphere problem is that you can't have a geography instance that spans more than one-half of the earth's surface.
It's got nothing to with the equator (nor the international dateline) and it doesn't mean that you can't have a polygon that spans the traditional division of 'northern'/'southern' hemisphere - in this case a 'hemisphere' means any half of the earth's surface.
So, for instance, this is ok:
geography
::STPolyFromText('POLYGON((0 85, 0 -85, 179 -85, 179 85, 0 85))', 4326)
and so is this:
geography
::STPolyFromText('POLYGON((60 -45, -135 -45, -135 45, 60 45, 60 -45))', 4326)
So long as the points of the instance can be contained in one half of the earth's surface, you're ok.
As you say, envelopecenter() gives a bounding circle (because it operates on the curved surface of the geography datatype). So think of the earth as a football, or something like that, and put a rubber band on the surface of the football representing the outer ring of a polygon.
Now, make the polygon larger by pulling the rubber band down over the football. The largest polygon you can make is when it covers one half of the earth's surface - i.e. when the rubber band goes around the middle of the football. At this point, the angle between the point in the middle of the rubber band, and the band itself is 90 degrees.
Make sense?

First, I just put up a post on my blog that discusses exactly what and how the hemisphere limitation works. There's nothing wrong with what Tanoshimi says, but there's a little more to the story. It may be of interest to people on this thread.
Second, let me say a few words about bounding boxes on the earth: they stink.
Let me expand on this a bit---although it's probably worth another blog entry.
One problem is that when people say they want a bounding box, they generally want a lower and upper bound on the latitude and longitude. This is generally a reasonable request, but we cannot represent this cleanly as a polygon. The two north-south edges (representing the minimum and maximum longitudes) are easy. The east-west edges (representing the minimum and maximum latitudes) are not: they aren't great circles, but small circles or loxodromes.
Until we add small circle support to SQL there is no way to simply represent this polygon.
A second problem—that the concept of a bounding box is really a planar concept—becomes evident when we cross over the line where longitude = 180 or -180, or at the poles. What should the bounding box for LINESTRING(-140 30, 140 40) be? Worse, what about LINESTRING(-90 80, 90 80)?
Finally, let me try to be a little positive. :) If you want to query a box that ranges from MinLat to MaxLat, and from MinLong to MaxLong, you can create a polygon that will at least closely match the desired box. As we've discussed, the edges of the box that run from (MinLong MaxLat) to (MinLong MinLat) and from (MaxLong MinLat) to (MaxLong MaxLat) are easy—they're great circles.
The other two edges will have to be approximated by densifying them. I.e., instead of going directly, place a number of points along the way, each at the same latitude. You'll get a great circle between these points, but if you get the points reasonably close together you should not deviate very much. You should be able to build this fairly easily using the sink/builder API.
The polygon you generate won't be simple—it will have many points—but it should give you the query region you're looking for.

bootmgr is missing
I installed Window 7 Beta last week, by formatting my laptop. Before doing anything else I tried to install an anti-virus (Kasparsky lap). It was installed without any problems, but just before restarting, the computer went off. I tried restarting a number of times and all I could do is enter in safe mode and try to uninstall Kasparsky by System Restore. However it didn't work. Once Windows 7 were loaded again the system went off. This happened a number of times and I decided to quit for a while, since I had no more time and patience.
Today I tried booting from DVD and reformatting the disk. It seemed Ok until the machine had to reboot. It went off again, and after several restarts I got the message "bootmgr is missing press Ctrl+Alt+Del to go on". The same thing goes on again and again. The system does not seem to manage to load Windows.
Any suggestions?
P.S. It is an hp compaq, 60GB hard disk and if I am not mistaken 2GB RAM.

Hi, just a question. You mention "clean install" and several lines later "update".
Which one is it? Your logs seem to point to an update problem.
My experience for what it's worth:
First install was w7 x86 on a virtual PC on XP. Everything went fine (iso mounted with deamon tools lite)
Second install was a w7 x64 clean install from a dvd rw (burnt the iso to a read write dvd to avoid XP/7 interacting problems (and can reuse my dvd for something else)). Not a single problem. The only things plugged to my computer were: screen, keyboard and mouse. Nothing exotic USB device plugged in, no funky soundcard or whatever.
No automatic updates during install, you can always turn that one on once you've installed it completely.
If this may help you...

Win 7 will not go wireless
Can you offer some suggestions
Last weekend I installed win 7 as part of a dual boot system. Connecting to the Internet by wire works fine, however connecting through the wireless is not working. Any suggestions? Going back to XP Pro wireless works great!
Here are my notebook and wireless card specs:
MSI GX620 sold as a PowerPro 15:3 Notebook from powernotebooks.com
Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5300 802.11AGN - WiMax Ready
Built in Ethernet 10/100/1000BaseT Network ---Works good
According to the little wireless icon the connection is made however, the little icon bars are not green and it won't open up a web page (any) using the wireless connection. Using a hard wired connection I can access the internet.
This copy of windows 7 is dual booted on my hard drive along with XP pro. When I switch to XP the wireless connection works like a champ!
I deleted the connection and then tried again. Still no wireless. I download a driver from Intel for the Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5300 802.11AGN card. Still no luck, I uninstalled the intel driver and restarted and let windows seven load one of its drives…..it loaded the same driver
I disconnected the firewall stuff and still no luck.
I should also say that I'm using a netgear wireless cable modem (CG814wg)
Any recommendations

3. Create a new connection:
Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Network and Sharing Center > Set up a new connection or network > Manually Connect to a Wireless Network > Next. Type in the Network Name (SSID), select Security Type and type in the key. You may also want to tick 'Start this connection automatically' and 'Connect even if the network is not……' > Next.

Starbucks has no security at all (by design) on their wifi, so that folks **can** come in, power up, and surf.
My guess is that your netgear has some level of security/handshaking.
Boot into XP, and then take a look at the properties of your home wifi connection.
Look for nomenclature (and related settings or values) such as:
SSID
WEP
WPA, WPA2
password
etc.
Also, check to see if you have a static IP, or just DHCP assigned.
Copy down any values and/or settings, and enter these into the equivalent places in the Win7 OS wireless setup.
Your netgear may be set to not 'broadcast' it's SSID, so also look in XP for whether there is a checkmark next to parameters such as "Always connect to this network'. and any other such paramters, and, again, duplkicate these over on the Win7 side.

I have a Phenom II 940 and an ATI HD 3300 on board video, 4 gigs of DDR2 1066, and the game would start but it would go about 1 frame every 4 seconds or so. Did I setup something wrong? Or is it just bogus?

I saw you used the "Custom (quiet)" option to run it. Can you test to see if it runs when you choose the manual option. Perhaps there is an issue with the commandline and the context it is running under.

The command line isn't kicked-off at that point of time. The client is still looking for content ("WaitingContent"). See CAS.log for details. It might be a boundary issue, a matter of a protected DP, advertisement settings (slow/fast run behavior), etc.
The package is cached to %windir%\system32\ccm\cache by default, but that depends on the advertisement settings (and will only work after content was found on a DP).

hi ...
i have a status message that 2 of the clients are downloading content!!, out of the 10 machines that I am attempting to install the package on.
is there a way that i can force the advertisment, as only 2 of the 10 are downloading the content, and when i come to deploy on a larger scale time will become a factor ?

it seems that a significant time has now passed (40 ish minutes since re-running the advert) and I am now struggling to see why not all of the client have recieved the advertisment ????
... i have initiated a machine retrieval policy and this has had no effect ?
any ideas ?
many thanks
