I did experience some crashes on eeepc. Maybe down to the amount of diskspace you have left....I could not pin it down.

In the end I changed to Firefox without problems.

Thanks for the response. I have around 1.33Gb of free space left on the main drive and yes, I am using Firefox too.

I still have page filing (Virtual Memory) active and I set it to 256-512Mb since I only have 512Mb of RAM.

It is still going on as I type. The Windows Explorer crashes are tolerable. The Dr. Watson thing is the one that freezes everything that only a reboot gets everything running again.

I have a 4Gb Asus eeePC that has Windows XP Pro installed. The Windows Explorer often crashes even if I am not doing anything. I have Removed Atheros Wireless Client and unchecked the compress files as suggested in the eeeUser forum has suggested. Unfortunately, the windows explorer error still occurs. It is quickly followed by a Dr. Watson's POSTMORTEM Debugger that totally freezes everything.

What could be causing all of these things to happen?

What should I do to stop these crashes?

Great lookibg dog you go there, mate!

Thanks for trying everyone. I still don't know my dog's exact breed but this doesn't change anything... still a lovely ball of fur and warmth.

If this you are just planning to use multiple computers with wireless capability in a single household, an ad hoc connection might do the trick for you.

The best thing about this kind of internet sharing connection is that it is absolutely free

See this LINK for details on how to set it up.

I have three computers sharing a single connection. It's easy, secure, and free.

I quess the best usecase for this is using it while driving motorcycle with 2 people?

I'd like to have that kind of solution as well.

Yup!

UPDATE:

I just checked a Kingston 1Gb Micro SD card using my computer.

Capacity: 968 Mb

Now I am really confused.

Could the phones have made the difference? Did you change and see if the capacity remained the same in both phones? Perhaps one phone is reporting differently or loading an index area?

Thanks for answering, lopburi.

I checked the capacity of the cards on my laptop computer. I inserted it into the card reader using an adapter.

Both are 1Gb Micro SD cards. Same brand -Apacer.

When I slid the cards into the nokia phones, it still showed the same numbers. I swapped the cards to cross check, it still showed that one card has 17 Mb more than the other.

There is nothing wrong with the cards. I used chkdisk on both cards to see if there are any bad sectors but both turned out negative for errors.

I just can't help but wonder...

I'll go check another card...

Thanks, lopburi3

Can I make a direct call to another phone within range using bluetooth?

Is there any application that can handle this? It's like a direct phone to phone connection via bluetooth that bypasses networks. It's like using two bluetooth enabled phones as walkie talkies for close range connections.

Is there anything available out there?

only good for very close connections, like a few feet

10 meters... across the river. It might be useful in a noisy environment. Beats shouting anytime.

I have just purchased two identical Apacer Micro SD cards for my phones.

When I checked the capacity of both cards, one had 971Mb of free space while the other had only 954 Mb of free space.

Both cards were working fine and Iwas able to copy files into it.

I just can't help but wonder...

Why is there a 17Mb difference between two identical cards?

What kind of dog do I have here?

It's a lovely bundle of fur and warmth.

I'd like to ask for your help is you could tell me what kind of dog it is?

Thank you in advance for any feeback you could offer.

and Thaksin dropped a one baht coin...

One of the recipes that I want to try out requires the use of lye water.

I don't know where I could buy some.

Do you have any information about lye water?

What is it called in Thai?

Where can I buy it?

The SIM is the cheapest of all the things that you need.

you'll be lucky to find an aircard for 5K (used).

It usually goes from 10K up

So the story goes lik this...

The SIM goes into the aircard

The aircard goes into the computer with the SIM in it

There is no shortcut or a direct way to get the SIM into a computer without an aircard.

If you are planning to us that SIM outside Thailand when you go out for your visa runs,

dialing home from outside could be very expensive since it will be on roaming.

Bad idea. They're right when they said stick to your blutooth phone or better leave the laptop at home and enjoy the sights.

Tried a couple of bottles only to find out that it's the juice of the fruit and the rind.

Didn't taste like mangosteen at all.

Question is how long before it comes to Thailand. I would sign up tomorrow if allowed to do so. See http://www.jaxa.jp/projects/sat/winds/index_e.html (scroll down to the story below the Satelite image) to see the latest that will eventually affect us all.

Fast but it will come at a price.

Toptuan,

I hope this helps...

Try connecting now and see the difference

I even run a cable right into your living room!

OMG. Please fix this and draw some more red lines to BKK, would you?

I wish it was that easy!

Maybe not the greatest connection, but better than NOTHING!!

Yes, I agree. Well, I am not complaining anyway. I Just posted this for those who are bitching about how slow the connection here could get sometimes. I hope this will shine some light into the matter.

Here's a diagram that shows how we here in Thailand are conneted to the rest of the planet.

The tiny red line going to Thailand might explain why the connection here could be painfully slow at times.

Oh, and before you post the standard "if you don't like it, get the hel_l out" response, rest assured that I will do so as soon as my career permits.

Darn! You're quick!

But don't give up so quickly. That's why this is a third world country. It still on its way to complete development.

Give Thailand time to mature.
