The section held by IBM Turk was very interesting for me.<br /> <br /> After lunch I preferred to attend the SAP CRM topic which is again a customer success story. This time AKBANK representatives talked about the Complaint Management System in their bank they have been working on using the SAP CRM.<br /> <br /> The following section which I attended was held by BTC Ekonum. And what was surprising for me was the presenter of the session was a friend of mine in high school. I appretiate her for her career and her work on SAP consulting sector. She experienced the audience a very well session on SAP NetWeaver and enterprise portals.<br /> <br /> I ended the day in SAP Forum 09 after the session DUET which is a product developed and being supported by both Microsoft and SAP. Actually I get dissappointed when I heard not any company is using the DUET in Turkey yet. For example, in my company a group of developers are developing solutions on Microsoft Outlook, MS Exchange and SAP systems. Unfortunately they are not using the DUET from SAP & Microsoft.<br /> <br /> OK, that is all for today.<br /> I'll like to give more information about SAP Forum 09 Istanbul if you have any questions that I can answer.<br /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.kodyaz.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=14582" width="1" height="1">eralperhttp://www.kodyaz.com/members/eralper.aspxhttp://www.kodyaz.com/blogs/software_development_blog/archive/2009/10/21/14581.aspx2009-10-20T21:15:00Z2009-10-20T21:15:00ZToday I have downloaded and installed a new Windows Update for my new Windows 7 computer.<br /> <br /> The Windows Update download was pointing to Knowledge Base article KB974431 where the update is said to be a release to improve the stability and reliability of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.<br /> <br /> You can find more details on the Windows Update KB974431 at <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=974431" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Microsoft Support</a> web site.<br /> <br /> The download size for the Windows 7 update installation file is about 20.6 MB<br /> <br /> Please note that the Windows Update installed KB 974431 Windows 7 update requires a computer restart. You should have to reboot your Windows 7 computer or Windows Server 2008 R2 server after the Windows 7 fix is applied.<br /> <br /> <img src="/images/windows-7/windows-7-update-kb-974431.PNG" width="590px" height="405px" /><br /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.kodyaz.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=14581" width="1" height="1">eralperhttp://www.kodyaz.com/members/eralper.aspxhttp://www.kodyaz.com/blogs/software_development_blog/archive/2009/10/01/13658.aspx2009-10-01T09:31:00Z2009-10-01T09:31:00ZHello all Windows 7 users,<br /> <br /> If you have already installed your Windows 7 copy on your computer, I will advice to be careful with Windows Update while downloading and installing updates on your Win7 computer.<br /> <br /> Why I take your attention to Windows Update on a Windows 7 computer? I'll try to explain a case I had experienced yesterday.<br /> <br /> I had build a new system with the helps of my friends Serkan and Mustafa. By the way Mustafa has his own web site on <a target="_blank">Cisco Networking and Network Tools<a />. Any way here is my new computer's basic configuration.<br /> <br /> <b>CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 810 AM3 2.6GHz 6MB Cache 45nm processor</b><br /> <b>Mainboard - Gigabyte MA78GM-UD2H AM2+ AMD 780G DDR2 1066Mhz HDMI&DVI board</b><br /> <b>RAM - 4 Gb (2*2GB) KIT XMS2 DDR2 1066Mhz CL5 memory</b><br /> <br /> OK, everything is fine untill I installed the new OS Microsoft Windows 7 X64 Ultimate Edition and tried to check and install the first Windows Update listed installs.<br /> <br /> I chosed the optional two Windows Update<br /> <b>Realtek - Network - Realtek RTL8168/8111 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0)</b><br /> And the other is ATI Technologies Inc. - Display - ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics<br /> <br /> Before the Windows Update, I could successfully connect to the Internet but after update the network adapter failed to work properly. So I rolled back to previous driver by using the rollback driver option.<br /> It is interesting that the previous network adapter driver has a version NDIS 6.20<br /> <b>Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20)</b><br /> <br /> To summarize, since I did not check the current version of the network driver before installing the Windows Update suggested install, I broke the network adapter.<br /> So you should better check these before updating your Windows 7 drivers. But at least you have the option to rollback to previous driver in case.<br /> <br /> Here is the two Device Manager Windows 7 tool reports :<br /> <img src="/images/windows-7/device-manager-report-just-after-windows-update.PNG" alt="device-manager-report-just-after-windows-update" title="device-manager-report-just-after-windows-update" width="600px" height="437px" /><br /> <br /> <img src="/images/windows-7/device-manager-report-just-after-driver-update-with-windows-update-is-rollbacked.PNG" alt="device-manager-report-just-after-driver-update-with-windows-update-is-rollbacked" title="device-manager-report-just-after-driver-update-with-windows-update-is-rollbacked" width="600px" height="437px" /><br /><img src="http://www.kodyaz.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=13658" width="1" height="1">eralperhttp://www.kodyaz.com/members/eralper.aspxhttp://www.kodyaz.com/blogs/software_development_blog/archive/2009/09/18/13204.aspx2009-09-18T10:02:00Z2009-09-18T10:02:00Z<br /> If you are looking for an alternative to your web browser (Internet Explorer 8 or Firefox web browsers), you can try the Google Chrome from Google.<br /> <br /> Google Chrome was released more than a year ago, and now it is in version 3. Google Chrome had problems when it was first seen on the web as a web browser. But it seems to resoved those problems and can be considered as a mature internet browser.<br /> <br /> It is said to be a lightweight browser. Actually it is. You can download the Google Chrome installer within minutes and the browser is installed easily.<br /> <br /> Google Chrome is opening a web page faster than any other web browsers and is fast on javascript processing.<br /> <img src="/images/google/google-chrome-logo.png" alt="Google Chrome" title="Google Chrome" /><br /> <br /> But while I was using the Google Chrome and opened not much only 4 or 5 tabs. After some time like an hour, when I came back to my computer and switched to an other tab within the Google Chrome web browser, it was too slow to display the tab and switch to that tab. Actually I could not give a meaning to that situation. When I tested the Internet Explorer 8, I did not get a similar problem with IE8.<br /> <br /> By the way, you can <a href="http://www.google.com/chrome?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">free download Google Chrome 3.0.195.21</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Google Chrome on Windows 7</b><br /> This is a new note I have added to this post after I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate edition to my computer. After installing Windows 7, I also download Google Chrome from the above Google Chrome download link with its latest version 3.0.195.25<br /> Google Chrome on Windows 7 is working quite successfully although Windows 7 is not listed on the list of operating system for Google Chrome download<br /><img src="http://www.kodyaz.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=13204" width="1" height="1">eralperhttp://www.kodyaz.com/members/eralper.aspxhttp://www.kodyaz.com/blogs/software_development_blog/archive/2009/09/16/13154.aspx2009-09-16T11:58:00Z2009-09-16T11:58:00Z<br /> Microsoft has recently released two new <b>Windows 7 certification exams</b> for beta period.
