  1. Flexi Parallel Hasp

    I believe the driver for the parallel key that is used by Flexi is called the aladdin key, so try doing a search on google for aladdin hasp key driver and see what you can find. I might be wrong, as I am used to the USB keys which use the sentinel driver.
  2. SSD Drives Revisited

    A lot of the benefit of the OCZ Z drive (and other PCI-Express slot based SSD cards) comes from the bandwidth available through that slot compared to just a single SATA connector port. Many motherboards and chipsets today, even the newest lines supporting SATA3, often supplied only a single...
  3. Should I have a server?!!!

    A couple years ago we made the jump to a file server system for our data, and while the initial cost was the big worry (we spent $2,500 on our system, which was more than enough for all our needs) it has served us incredibly well and offered more opportunities to the business than we ever...
  4. Need help with network in the shop..

    You will also need to be sure that all computers are set to enable file sharing and discovery, which again varies depending upon which operating system(s) you are running. The easiest way to find out how to turn this on in your computer is just to google "How to enable file sharing in Windows"
  5. Xeon/Opteron: Are Server-Class Processors Worth It?

    Thank you for that great reply Casey, you brought up many valid points that I as well have been curious about and the reason for this thread. The whole reason I built the Opteron systems I had in the past was for the ability of future upgrades beyond standard desktop hardware. Today, the line...
  6. SSD Drives Revisited

    One fix that OCZ has released on their drives (such as the Vertex drives that I am running in RAID 0) is the use of Garbage Collector. This is basically like TRIM but works for RAID drives as well. I'm very pleased with OCZ when it comes to constantly pushing new firmware and features for...
  7. Xeon/Opteron: Are Server-Class Processors Worth It?

    You seem to be in the same line of thinking as myself on this. I have built three workstations that use the Opteron processors, two of them dual-socket systems and the other just a single socket. They both run incredibly well and stable, but I see no real performance gain from these platforms...
  8. Xeon/Opteron: Are Server-Class Processors Worth It?

    I would like your input from your experience or ideas regarding server or workstation-class processors compared to similar desktop processors. Is there really a difference in performance or reliability enough to warrant the often price premium for these platforms? Now obviously each has their...
  9. dsl or cable?

    Yeah, imagine a 20th of your internet speed and that is the average internet speed for broadband in our region. It's something that needs to be addressed and hopefully remedied by the FCC's Broadband Plan to call for a minimum of 4Mb/s speeds.
  10. dsl or cable?

    This couldn't be more true in America right now. There's an overwhelming variation of network speeds that consumers can get based on their location. For instance, out in Denver our family friend has a cable internet package for the same amount we pay currently ($40 per month) but receives...
  11. Production Manager suddenly crashing

    Alright got this one fixed finally. Inside the Flexi program files is a preference manager I did not know about beforehand that will reset to factory default more of the preferences than what the "clear preferences" does within the preferences tab of Flexi itself. After loading all the default...
  12. Production Manager suddenly crashing

    This morning we attempted the fixes that were suggested above but did not fix the problem. Removed all temporary files from Flexi, but Production Manager fails to load. She explained in a little more detail to me what is actually being seen with this. When they go to Rip & Print, the logo for...
  13. Production Manager suddenly crashing

    Wayne, I'm not that familiar with Flexi, but thank you very much for your advice I will have them look into that. I'm not sure that the crew will know how to get to the proper folder you are mentioning, and I don't know either how to direct them over the phone to find it, so would you mind...
  14. Production Manager suddenly crashing

    This is something that I will have them try. I was assuming that reinstallation of the FlexiSign software would automatically reset the preferences and clear that all out, but I might very well be mistaken. Thank you for the help!
  15. Production Manager suddenly crashing

    Just today we have started experiencing an issue on our Windows XP RIP going to a JV3-130 printer. This system has been running fine for months until today suddenly when trying to rip from Flexi into Production Manager, the Production Manager screen doesn't even load. You can open up the task...
  16. JV3 Print Driver Crash with Flexi

    We just went through the process of reinstalling the Mimaki printers on XP itself (downloaded the newer version 2.2 drivers from their site) but I found out that wasn't really what the problem was all along. What they said actually is happening is when they go to Rip-Print in Flexi, to go to...
  17. JV3 Print Driver Crash with Flexi

    I need some assistance if you could! Just today all of a sudden, it seems the print driver between Flexi Production Manager and our Mimaki JV3 has corrupted or stopped working properly. As it was explained to me, today when they attempted to send a print job from Flexi to production manager...
  18. upgrade?

    The issue you might be having seeing the hardware dongle in Flexi 8 might not be fixed by an update in Flexi 8, but you should fix the problem by just downloading the proper sentinel/aladdin driver. On the test computer system we set up with Windows 7 and Flexi 8.1, we have a USB dongle which...
  19. SSD Drives Revisited

    Absolutely correct, you just can't really justify a SSD setup for your mass data storage really. If you really need more speed off of your data RAID array than just a standard magnetic drive can offer you, then you should look into a RAID 10 setup. Even with four 1 TB drives it would be much...
  20. SSD Drives Revisited

    One of the problems I fear will plague the SSD market is its prices because, unfortunately, sellers have noticed that people are willing to pay an arm and a leg for this advanced technology because it does make a difference. I may be very wrong about this, but the way it seems to me over the...
