Error code 14001 when installing Audacity

2012/04/27 5 comments
  1. Symptom: Audacity installation seems to complete without error, but attempting to start Audacity at the end of the installation process results in an error about bad environment with the above error code.
  2. For your reference: It is has been the missing Visual C++ redistributable installation here in the past on staff computers.
  3. Solution: Download and install the redistributable, then try restarting Audacity: It should start now.

How to troubleshoot network share and thumb drive disk space issues with WinDirStat

2012/04/13 Leave a comment
  1. There are many such tools, but WinDirStat has served me well, and it is free.
  2. Especially useful seems the treemap visualization and that you can drill in per file type, from the upper right pane,  and to a file location from the tree map,. like so:
  3. troubleshoot-network-shares-out-of-space-issues-with-windirstat
  4. Similarly useful on not-shared, but limited-storage drives, e.g. for deduplicating, like so: windirstat-thumbdrive
  5. This detailed tutorial (which, incidentally, uses WinDirStat, can give you a list of ideas/folders where it is worthwhile checking the WinDirStat results (although one of the nice features of WinDirStat is that it sorts folders and an aggregate of the files in a folder by size).

How to use Sony PMB software and a Rosewill memory card reader to read your Sony MS-PRO (and bring Windows-XP to its knees)

2012/04/11 Leave a comment
  1. The Rosewill rcr-ic001 card reader seems temperamental – you need to try several times to insert the card for the reader light to reliably flash.
  2. It seems you need the Sony-provided software installed to have Windows recognize the drive: sony pmb1.
  3. And offer an import:
  4. sony pmb2
  5. However, the import of videos fails for me (only images get imported)sony pmb3.
  6. But at least I can access the videos through Windows, from here (for non-HD):
  7.  sony pmb4
  8. Until things go bad (computer slows to a crawl, then explorer crashes): sony pmb5 data execution preventionsony pmb5 data execution prevention2

If students have no mp3 audio on LRCRoomCoed433a Listening Stations

2012/03/20 Leave a comment

Problem: A Student that took the French Respondus Lockdown browser on PC 43, when playing to listening comprehension files,  had no audio on her headset (except for her microphone input was played back for her. The test is single attempt only, and lockdown browser prevents us from troubleshooting.

Cause: Master volume for Wave and SW Synth on lrcroomcoed433b back to 0, like so:

Workaround: plug in one of the black headsets (USB) temporarily (plugging in another brown headset did not resolve the issue).

Solution: None currently: even when the Respondus lockdown browser is not running, Deepfreeze will not allow making changes, and changes in the current user profile will not affect users whose profiels gets created upon login (which is all student users). Longterm: Don’t try to run identical software images on different hardware configurations. Not as longterm: Autoit FTW?
