I have a blackberry 8700C and it is totally flaky lately. It dials random numbers on it's own, powers itself off about 3 times a week and sometimes just turns off in the middle of a conversation. It sometimes connects to the Interent with no problem and then for days it just won't connect - which really messes me up when I am traveling! It is a about 1 and 1/2 years old and I am asking my boss to get me a different blackberry, possibly a Curve but all I know is that this thing is getting very frustrating and sometimes I feel like just flushing down the nearest toliet! BLEH!!

I have removed the FT indexes on a few large (5Gb) teamrooms being replicated all the time and the problem has gone. The NTASKLDR is doing all this background work including re-indexing. Be carefull with creating too much FT indexes.
Optimizing the PC in its caching, fast 32-bit, UDMA, disk access always helps, but getting rid of the large indexes does the trick on the blocking task.

I have been searched on the webex and still not finding a resolution to this task loader problem. What the heck is wrong with IBM not fixing this problem? I can't stand this when this process is running, I can bearly do anything on my laptop for hours.

I don't recline on planes, I feel mean. But if I really felt I had to I would ask the person, and if they said no then I'd try and swap seats with one of my parents or my brother if the person behind them said it was Okay to recline, and if all that fails...I wouldn't recline O.O.

I have seen this issue with Toshiba Tecra's S1,S2,S3, and S4

It appears that the issue appeared when they were updated to Notes 6.5.4

Does anyone know if there was an issue with this version since it did not occur previously or in new versions of Notes.
Thanks, Steve

I actually put some scotch tape on my sim card and have not received any more SIM Chip Errors. The SIM chip moves around and that is what causes the error.

I am now on my second 8700 (about my sixth bb over 6 years) After about a year, My first 8700 went berzerk....Mostly the keyboard. Certain of my speed dial keys would stick and randomly call people on my sd at all hours of the night. (I finally had to shut it off at night) After about a month of this, I had ATT send me another. Within 5 weeks the second 8700 had similar keyboard issues. Now and then, the keys would stick. The SPACE key would type an N and the return key would type a random SYMBOL. Trying to backspace would type a bunch of Zs, The AT&T customer service helped me out though...THey charged me $299 for a 'damaged' blackberry. Oh well, there goes most of my payment for a previously-considered iPhone.......

So how IS Verizon anyway???

My wife and I have 8703s. I have now returned her phone twice because of mic issues and gotten new handsets. Her 3rd consecutive handset has a mic issue. Its an absolute joke. My handset is now starting to see issues as well. Its sad that blackberry is putting out all these faulty products. 4 out of 4 is a pattern.

I still have this problem. First time I turn my phone on it is ok, but can't make calls, I then turn off/on wireless then goes into SOS mode. This is pissing me off big time

Comment From Tony Kelleran

Tony Kelleran — Mon, 9 Jul 2007 10:42:09 AM -0500

Go to the nearest ATT store and get a new SIM. The front line reps will have NO idea what you are talking about. Moving from a old blue SIM to a new blue SIM (formerly Cingular), will be looked at as a migration, so you may have to deal with a new contract or other sales pitches. Bottom line though, you really do need to get an update SIM.

I recently purchased a blackberry pearl and have had the same problem. Did the orange sim work? AT & T reps are acting like they know nothing about this and have no idea how to fix it. I removed the battery and sim and received a signal for about 15 seconds then reverted to sos.

I've had two 7290's crash this week. One intermittently shuts down and one loses it's network connectivity. (One of them is 2yrs old and one is just a year and a half). Cingular said to replace both, there was nothing they could do.
Is this the normal life span of these units?

The microphone quit on my 8700C too. I actually fixed it by opening up the case and straightening ou tthe pins on the microphone where they contact the circuit board. I think what happened to mine is that they bent from dropping it and they were no longer making contact. They're almost microscopic and hard to see, but you can bend them with a small knife into position. Mine works great now. Instructions on how to take the case apart can be found at: http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-8700-series-discussion/48653-8700-disassembly-photos-blackberryfaq-com.html

Hi,

I am connecting to Lotus Notes through JDBC-ODBC from a Java class. I would like to navigate through the Inbox from my java class, read mail.

I am able to retrieve data for "From", "Date Received", "Subject" but not the message body. How do I read the message contents of a message in the Inbox? What should the query be like?

Thanks in advance!

Just curious if you have any ideas on how to prevent the BES 4.1 server from filling up the Domino LOG.NSF file? I have had no help from anyone at RIM. They always point to the registry key settings but that does not seem to help. I get almost a debug layer of messages in the Notes log (which are also duplicated in the BES Logs) no matter what I set for the logs settings in the admin tool. Have you had any experience with that or changing it? Thanks and I appreciate your site.

I own a scion XB and I have loved it since the moment I found out they made them. At first I was a little leary cause it looks kinda small. After driving about 10 feet on my test drive I was sold. I bought it that day. For people who have doubts about these cars go test drive one and you will probably buy it. XB Is awesome

Ntaskldr.exe has come back to haunt me. I use Notes 7 and it started happening at no particular time (ie. no changes to Notes as far as I can tell). This is gross negligence in that these programmers are allowing this issue to continue through every one of their updates. How can this get a low priority ticket when it's a resource hog? My typing is delayed just writing this note. Reee-diculous. Just letting off steam... trying to compact as well.

Well, I love BB's but I had to get rid of 2 because of the background noise sound. I did not want to let them go, but the background noise was too much. When I an in a silent room it worked fine, but when in a car it was terrible. Many callers often asked if I had the window down. Still, I love the BBs, just hope that issue gets fixed.

I am having a microphone issue with the 8700g. I bought it online through t-mobile and am going to return it. People tell me there is a 'buzz' around my voice and that I am constantly competing with background noise, so much so they have been able to hear conversations taking plact up to 20 feet away from me and have stopped my conversation thinking I was talking with someone else. I have been told using the earpiece cuts down on this, but I won't be using one any time soon.

Lotus Notes does not support importing of PNG images into Rich Text by default but you can add that feature by adding the following line to your Notes Clients notes.ini file:

EDITIMP18=PNG Image,0,_IW4W,,.PNG,,8,

Comment From Christian Brandlehner

Christian Brandlehner — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 06:25:29 AM -0500

I was able to reproduce the issue and found several SPRs for that issue.
SPR KSOA4CVSQG states that the Notes Browser does not support PNG files.
SPR MLAT5GSUAK states that a PNG does not display and has been closed as "not a bug".
SPR PBAO65AKFU is an enhancement request asking for future support of the PNG image format. Whenever opening a PMR to ask for PNG support refer to this SPR.

Strange thing is that noone of the SPRs lists customers asking for a fix so their importance is low to lowest.

Comment From Christian Brandlehner

Christian Brandlehner — Tue, 5 Sep 2006 03:01:46 AM -0500

I received the test-email. I can see the embedded PNG using Domino Web Access but not with Lotus Notes (even the Notes 8 beta fails).
Anoter problem is that even if you have "display inline pictures as attachment" enabled, the picture is not available as attachment.
I also opened PMRs with IBM to increase the weight of the problem.

Comment From Stephan H. Wissel

Stephan H. Wissel — Sun, 3 Sep 2006 02:56:31 PM -0500

For NAS you need to be careful of the file system. USB attached storage can be formatted NTFs. A lot of the NAS stuff does FAT32 only and won't take your >2GB file (e.g. your mail archive). For backup you could look at Syncback (2BrightSparks, basic edition is free). It does local drives, network drives and FTP. You also have the option to zip every file with a password (if you want to use an external provider).

At work I'm using Tivoli Continous Data Protection for Files. It keeps multiple copies local and remote and queues remote backup when the server is not reachable. Once configured it runs in the back... backing up the file once it's changed.

I have a 300GB network drive from Maxtor which is really nice. Easy to setup and use from all the computers in the house.

I would highly recommend getting a networked drive rather than a simple USB connected drive - a little more expensive but much more functional and more versatile. Of cause a "real" NAS with RAID 1 or 5 is preferable but they are also more expensive.

Comment From Tony Kelleran

Tony Kelleran — Fri, 1 Sep 2006 10:48:28 PM -0500

I guess I would prefer that the drive I buy had the software to do the backups. Granted there are some pretty inexpensive open source backup util programs that would consider purchasing if the software that came with the drive wasn't that good.

Parallels is not much different than VMWare when it comes to running test environments. I would have to check if Parallels would support a Microsoft Server instance, but you could easily run a test Domino server on Window XP or Windows 2000 in a Parallels instance. Anything specifc you are unsure about?

I am with you and most organizations out there. I just don't trust anyone enough to allow them to host my data. I mean what kind of guarantees do you have that they will be there when you need them. I am also looking into and external HD solution for backing up my computers. Are you planning on purchasing additional software to do the backups or going for a solution that has the hardware and software together?

Comment From Tony Kelleran

Tony Kelleran — Fri, 1 Sep 2006 06:47:16 AM -0500

Christian, I will surely send you an example. I will state that the PNG image will render inline fine via the browser, if one were to use Webmail. It's the inline support for the client that will not get any attention from IBM. This was also confirmed with IBM by the company that is producing these emails using PNGs files. IBM very well could do an about face on this issue. I do find it strange that they won't support it at least with 6.5.x or the 7 code stream.

Comment From Christian Brandlehner

Christian Brandlehner — Fri, 1 Sep 2006 01:54:09 AM -0500

The technote does not state that PNG is not supported with Lotus Notes, it just says that there are some PNGs not being displayed.

I had the "SOS" message in my Blackberry and was receiving no email for two days and registered no incoming signal strength.

After reading a comment in this Blog, I took out the battery and the SIM card then reinserted the SIM card and the battery and had it reboot.

The "SOS" message is now gone and I am again receiving email and the Blackberry seems to be again functioning correctly.

Thanks for your help. You saved me a trip to the Cingular store on a hectic Saturday.

I've had my 8700 pretty much the day after it's launch and I haven't had any issues, nor has the other one that was purchased at the same time. Seems like some of the newer batches of them have had problems. In fact, I temporarily put one of my users in a brand new one while we waited to get a refurb replacement. The exact same mic issue started happening on this brand new one. Made me think that maybe it was a network issue, but then I had her tap it on a hard service a few times and it started working again. The regional RIM rep is now telling my Cingular rep that I should open a ticket with RIM, this is after he already said that their QA people were looking into it.

Comment From Chris Whisonant

Chris Whisonant — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 10:20:23 AM -0500

I've been using my 8700 since January and have had no issues (yet). Also, other than one user who had to swap out about 5 8700s for himself I don't believe that any of the 10 we have on our BES have had any issues.

That particular guy had received a bad batch of 8700s from Cingular and they would just disconnect from the BES with really no reason.

Comment From Joe Litton

Joe Litton — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 07:52:53 AM -0500

Hmm... How long are the 8700's lasting for you before the problems crop up? A colleague and I have each been using an 8700c for 5 or 6 months and haven't had any problems ...but that's only a period of months. One certainly shouldn't expect issues that soon.

Narrow minded folks.......Someone says "If you don't want someone infront reclining, pay extra and sit at the front!" Well, the same goes for them, if they to recline, pay the price for the room and go sit up front.

Airlines have not kept up with the growth of americans over the past generations. They cram more people into less space to make more $$$. I think we can all agree that the airline needs to make a change.

But until then, the poor people in front of me CAN'T recline because my knees are physically pinned in the back of the seat in front of me. It is a physical impossibility (without amputation) for them to recline. Do they attempt to see why they can't recline? No, (generally speaking) these people just try ramming harder and harder thinking the seat is broken. Geez, use a little common sense and turn around. I am as nice as the next guy, but if you show me no courtesy, why should you expect to receive any in return.

You paid for a car that will do 120 mph+ but you don't realistically think you are going to get to drive that fast every time you get in it do you??????

Does anybody know of any Wyse software for the Symbian devices to be installed on the thin clients?

Clustering is a huge deal...we're at the point where we are going to pay NSI software (the doubletake folks) to come in and do it for us. We will be running (non-load balancing, strictly application/hardware failover) a stock MSCS cluster pair pointing at a SAN-based SQL database with doubletake services providing the byte-level replication, failover, and failback capabilities we need.

Interesting note though...here's a link to a RIM webcast where they (RIM) talk very specifically about using domino clustering with BES...it's 45 minutes long but there could be something to it:

We have recently started using the BBC service with nokia 9300's and ericsson p910i's.

As far as I can tell the contacts dont get sync'ed at all which defeats the point of having it in the first place.

We also run a lot of thin clients which would require USB mapping in Citrix/TSE on Wyse clients which isn't going to happen any time soon. So I think we will have to replace the mobiles with RIM blackberries.

I wrote some LotusScript code (as an Agent) which executes on ONLY documents selected by a user. The Subject of each selected document is read, and text strings of each Subject are extracted and copied to an Excel spreadsheet. After the work was done, the Notes Admin informed me that custom LotusScript code will NOT be supported on the Domino 6.x Server (w/Notes Client 6.5). I am NOW trying to develop an alternative using Visual Basic 6.x with Lotus Domino Objects Reference (ie. via COM). The PROBLEM is that COM, in Visual Basic, does NOT support the "UnprocessedDocuments" property (which is working fine for the LotusScript code). I have not been able to figure out any alternative in Visual Basic (or VBScript) to do what I was able to do with LotusScript for only selected documents. Do you have any coding suggestions...??

When I download free pop up blockers from the Web, I am asked to either open or save them. When I try to open them, I get a message saying that it is incompatible with my PowerPoint software. When I save it while downloading, I am saving it to the "my documents" folder and then it saves it but pop ups are not blocked. I have internet explorer version 6.

Does anyone know where I should save the free pop up blocker or why it is not working?
Thanks,

I need to post about BBConnect again. The messaging and calendar sync were cool, but I didn't see a native option for synchronizing the address book (would one have to buy a 3rd-party application to do this?). Again, I know that BBC for Treo is far from official for Cingular, so I can't really complain too much.

Also, I could NOT get the Internet browser to connect. From reading at blackberryforums, some users stated that you would have to disconnect the BB service and then connect the Media Net service. I was unable to do this, and it would be highly cumbersome. I'll try to post these thoughts to my blog as well...

Our wireless group is setting up a 9300 today, so we'll see how they like it. I held it for a couple of minutes Friday and didn't really like it at all. Like you said, I like the 8700 too much too!!

Yes, those who pay for a seat have the right to recline it. A little!! Not so much that I can see the top of your head as i often do. It is really the fault of the airlines who are going bankrupt daily because the powers that be can't run a business properly. The airline industry tries to cram everyone in as if they were sardines. If they gave a decent and adequate amount of leg room we wouldn't be having this conversation. Bottom line.... yes some are inconsiderate, however, it's the airline industry that is most inconsiderate and at fault in this matter.

We've got 160 7230/90s...had them since July 2004. Last time I did a check of the stats (Oct 2005), 25% of our fleet had died for various reasons (this is not including breakages). Here in NZ, they have a 2 year warranty so cost wise its not so bad but extremely frustrating for users. The regular issues are persistent JVM errors, worn out wheels, intermittent microphone on the phone.

Personally I think thats a terrible track record but dont' have much experience with other mobile platforms to draw any meaningful comparison.

Never did I think I would address Iris, as a Lotus marketeer, and actually receive a standing O (granted I had just shown a preview of the "Yellow Band" I AM TV Commercials)! IBM does need to reinvigorate its market presence. Even Oracle seems more passionate, and down right sexier!! <>tim

Hey there. I am a network guy, not a Notes guy, so sorry if my lingo is off. :)

I understand that there are a lot of problems with ntaskldr.exe hogging resources, but has anyone seen it actually crash machines? We just upgraded a bunch of machines from 5.0.10/11 to 6.5.1, and many are getting ntaskldr.exe application errors. Notes will run slow for awhile, then crash randomly. Most of the time the user is not even doing anything, the app can even be minimized when the crash happens. Is this a known issue along with the slowness?

Comment From Ed Maloney

Ed Maloney — Tue, 15 Nov 2005 05:38:26 AM -0500

The date and features seem to keep slipping. I had last been told Q1/06 and that integrated Sametime would "probably" ship in 7.02.
I had not heard that the 6.5x code base was going to be used.
In case IBM hadn't noticed... the OS/X client for 6.5x is barely usable.

Comment From Jon Johnston

Jon Johnston — Thu, 3 Nov 2005 05:18:04 PM -0500

My understanding was that the Mac client would be brought up to parity with the Windows client in 7, with details emerging around Lotusphere. If that isn't the case, then I'll probably have to start investigating suitable replacements.
IBM had damn well better figure out how to do the "mac" thing. It's a matter of will, nothing else.

AFAIK, there isn't going to be one. Some of the ND7 client features will be rolled into future versions of the 6.5x codestream on the Mac instead.

But I'm not holding my breath. IBM don't do the Mac thang too well.

At the end of the day, iLumin was the vendor that was head and shoulders above the others. I did not like the CommonStore product and did not think they truly understood how the end user would be effected by an archiving solution.

Other than those 2 vendors, you can take a look at ZipLip and OpenText. Don't bother looking at Symmantec's solution as it is not quite ready for prime time on the Domino Platform.

Outlook allows people to remain where they are without having to learn anything new. Collaboration remains email for them. It's much easier than Notes (in terms of the end user being able to send an email), but nowhere near efficient nor productive, but it allows the end users to remain ignorant of what they can do with technology.
I keep thinking that people will want to do more with their machines, but I really think that Windows keeps everyone stupid and happy. How's that for my cynical thought of the day!

We've got 160 7230 units and in the last 12 months have had 25% fail for no apparent reason - mostly JVM errors and dead radios. Vodafone and RIM don't appear to care - they just keep replacing 'em. I personally find a 25% failure rate appaulling. The local RIM guy suggested it was Notes' fault and said we should move to Exchange (I kid you not!) - accordingly any respect I had for RIM has gone out the window.

Hi Tony,

That is great news. Having not been so fortunate, I can tell you that the grass is always greener. Moving to Outlook for mail was one of the worst decisions our company ever made. We lost tons of functionality--bearing in mind that Outlook is just mail and calendar. That's all it is.

Now that I'm on the other side of the fence, I can objectively say how pathetic a piece of software it is. Is it nicer looking? It depends on who you ask. Does Outlook/Exchange offer anything that Notes/Domino doesn't? It's not even a contest. I don't know how Microsoft sells it. In a true competitive analysis, there is no comparison--Notes wins hands-down. You can run an entire organization on Notes. You can send email with Outlook.

I'm glad for you AND for your company. Even if the decision wasn't unanimous among management, trust me when I say that your company made the right one.

Comment From Chris Whisonant

Chris Whisonant — Tue, 11 Oct 2005 09:17:33 AM -0500

We only have a total of about 25 BlackBerrys (or is it berrIEs?) and we've had our BES just about a year now.

For the most part, they have been really stable. I don't recall having to reconfigure but maybe 2 or 3 due to bad devices. I've felt that the BBs are much more stable and well-built than the "other" major smart phone (Treo). Those Treos seem to be full of problems!

Oh, I did have to replace my 7100 several weeks ago. However, this was because it was lactose intolerant...

Ouch - I missed it, and should have been there. Lotus used to do quite a bit in this area with regards to events. Now, however, we seem to be in fly-over land.
In some ways, I suppose it's left us all a little out of touch with each other, Business Partners, and customers.
Sad to see it lacked passion, but that seems to be an industry trait these days, doesn't it? Still left from the dot-bomb hangover, the realization that we're not all going to be instant millionaires? :)

Hi, Tony. I was there as well (thought I recognized you from the picture on your site, but wasn't sure). I'd have to agree with your assessment of the event. I haven't attended much for Lotus events in the past, but it did seem lackluster. There is a lot to be excited about with the Lotus line right now and it just didn't come across in the presentation.

I guess I'm used to a little more of the passion that seems to surface in the Blogosphere. Anyway, next time I'll be sure to introduce myself. :)

They are saying ND7 support with v4.1 when it hits the streets later this year. Yeah the group based Admin will be huge for the big sites. I suspect the Sametime client that will be part of the BlackBerry OS, won't be part of the BlackBerry Connect devices. But we will have to wait and see. I'm itch'in to get my hands on a non-BlackBerry device w/ the BB Connect software.

Comment From Sean Burgess

Sean Burgess — Wed, 31 Aug 2005 12:53:28 PM -0500

Have they given you any indication as to when ND7 would be supported? And is non-ND7 support limited to the server that the BES is running on or does it include the mail servers also?

I would love for them to get the clustering working since my mail servers are clustered.

Although not a big deal for small shops like mine, the group based administration would be a huge deal for some of the sites that have 1000's of BB's in use. Hopefully, I will be able to take advantage of the role based administration and push the activation of the BB's to the help desk.

I have two missing screws on the right side and I definitely have not tampered with it. Cingular and RIM have been no help.

Hi Guys,

I had the same problem and I had a database of 3 GB that I deleted the index and compacted and after the size was only 300 MB.

What a difference and problem solved.

Have a nice day,

Actually, I probably could make it out to Ireland to see it. Since my wife works for Northwest Airlines, it wouldn't cost me much Look forward to hearing about it if you all aren't bound by an NDA.

I'm with you on this one! I've seen people with Y! and Google, and now XP's native blocker. What gets me is why they would want to have a Y! AND Google IE toolbars - that's some valuable real estate getting lost. Add that to people having their Favorites sidebar open and it's like browsing at 680x400!

Just pick one and stay with it! haha

T Series has pretty much replaced the traveling A series laptops. A T40 would suit your needs for traveling. I use G40's as desktops for a mobile network. The idea being that the G's dont travel outside. I would not reccommend a G for a traveler unless you like weight lifting. The X is too limited in its use. You have to carry a replicator that snaps onto the bottom to gain the same functionality as a T

Tony,

Concerning the vibrating BlackBerry and the loose screws, I have lost one screw and another one is loose on my 7230.

When I returned my device for a fault covered by the warranty, I was told that the missing/loose screws show that I tampered with the device and therefore voided the warranty.

I would like to use your input as well as the input from the 3 persons that reported the problem to you in my argument against the repair company.

Can you help?

Thank,
Nadim.

*chuckle* then again, Lucas was *never* known for his skills with dialogue.

I liked how they wove in loose ends from the previous two to mesh well with the next three. I liked the introduction of certain characters, and various other things which could have been big continuity things if they weren't addressed (C3PO anyone?).

I also liked how they made Obi-Wan up in dress and hairstyle to be a midpoint between the last film and the next film.

Here's food for thought.

I'm on a cramped plane up for a long journy. I recline my seat. Don't ask me to un-recline. I put it back because I am uncomfortable. I don't know you, I don't care how uncomfortable or tall you are, I am a nice person, but don't push it!

Hi,
I am trying to find a solution as to how to write data from a JSP page to a Lotus Notes "Name and address book database".
Looked at the net and found 2 or 3 ways to write data to the Name and Address book.
1.Using JSP Domino tags
2.LDAP protocal
3.JdbcDomino driver.
I downloaded the JdbcDomino LLDJ driver and
tried to write to the "Name and address book database".
Able to write but have some problem writing to the "User Name" field of the "Name and address book database".
I am new to LDAP and Lotus, bit confused how to go about this and which is the right solution.

Thanks,
Sharath

I managed to solve the problem with ntaskldr.exe by doing the following:
1. Deleting the .ft folder under mail.
2.Select Delete index under File - Database -Properties - full text.
The process utilization used to be around 90-99% but now to 5-20% even when it is replicating 4GB DB and no more disk activities .
It worked for me and hope it will resolve yours too.

Funny that I found this website, because I too took a call from an individual at Market Resource Partners in the first week of March regarding this Microsoft assessment program, and just now decided to google them.

I was a little wary at first, but they put me in touch with one of their Gold Certified Partners in the area that were participating in the program, and we had a great discussion.

My company ended up going through with the program and it was a resounding success. We're in the stages of finalizing a deal that will have us implementing a new ERP solution and have it up and running by the end up May.

I thought I'd add my two cents about the phone call. We're planning on taking part in a CRM assessment in six months as well.

Tony, for an ordinary user working on a client (also a mobile user with laptop), is it not possible to run this "ncompact -D" ? I have Notes version 6.0.2 (upgraded from 5 so most of the old databases are upgraded).
What would I put for filename in the above? Is it the .ntf files?
This problem has reached a level where I cannot work at all, and nothing I tried so far has helped.
I tried to delete Cashe and log files. I deleted all .ft folders (I also need to be able to search some of the databases so I need later to have it back). Some of the databases locally are not replications but rather old archives of maildb, for them I cannot delete and create new, but for the ones I could create a new replica for I have done that also..... And my company helpdesk knows nothing that can help (don't understand the problem).

thankful for any tip since I am getting desperate

Comment From Tony Kelleran

Tony Kelleran — Tue, 5 Apr 2005 02:34:13 PM -0500

Yves, what version of Lotus Notes are you running? The ncompact exe is not available with just a Notes 6 client install. This is unfortunate since it was a great way to relieve some of these issues. In order to have the ncompact available you would need to have the Admin client installed on your computer as well.

Comment From Yves

Yves — Tue, 5 Apr 2005 11:34:14 AM -0500

can you please indicate how to run this "ncompact -D" ?
I have tried from the Start/Run and also in MS-DOS mode but could not get it to work - maybe this file is not installed on my computer (I am a mobile user working from a laptop with this same CPU usage problem)
thanks
Yves

ntaskldr.exe is used for background replication as well, so it would need network access to hit the server. If you block it, replication will not happen. But I'm sure you've already realized this...

Comment From Mike

Mike — Fri, 1 Apr 2005 03:49:20 PM -0500

Why would ZoneLabs ask me if ntaskldr.exe should accept connections from the internet or local network?? That's interesting. Given the explanation above of what ntaskldr.exe does, I assume there is absolutely NO NEED for this whatsoever?

This clearly is the year for electronics! The Sony ear buds I bought were the MDA-E828LP. Nothing special, I had the $40 in ear buds in my hands, but figured I didn't need to spend that much.
