If you still have the driver setup you used for Vista, you can use that one in Windows 7 as well... All you need to do is set the driver setup to run in compatibility mode with Windows Vista. If you're not sure how to do this, here's how:
Find the driver setup and right click the file -> Properties -> Compatibility tab -> check the option "Run this program in compatibility mode" and choose either Vista, Vista Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2. Click OK and run the setup.

unfortunatly i no longer have the gateway CD i need the actual drivers themselves, i dont have any CDs period, just a fresh install of WIndows 7

I guess you already tried this, but just to clarify:
Did you get any results by trying to update the driver in Device Manager?
You can do that by typing "dev" without quotes in the search bar on the start menu, then click on the Device Manager entry. Check to see if there's any hardware labeled as Unknown and/or having a yellow exclamation mark. Right click it and choose "Update Driver Software..." and then "Search automatically..."
Other than that, the only thing I can think of is asking for support on the Gateway website. I found some info here but it didn't help much and I'm now wondering what exact driver you had on the CD itself since there's only a 32bit driver on the website...

thats exactly where i am stuck, i ended up finding it off some unknown driver website so it works now but man was that ever a pain in the but for 1 driver.

Please post a link to the driver, the thread might be used to someone with the same problem in the future

and now i cannot use my built in micro phone either and of course there is no driver on their website, upgrading to windows 7 has been very frustrating at best.

Right click the sound icon in the system tray and choose: Sounds
Click the Recording tab and, just in case you can't see the Microphone, right click anywhere and choose "Show Disabled Devices"
By default you don't need a driver for the microphone to work as long as you have the sound driver installed. It's just a matter of setting up the hardware properly.

Hi King,
To stray off topic for a minute...
As you said "upgrading to windows 7 has been very frustrating at best." I know this doesn't help you, but one bit of advice I give to anyone who's even thinking about upgrading to any 64-bit OS is to do their homework for drivers, software, and hardware "before" upgrading.
Though 64-bit is gaining popularity (mostly due to RAM), it's still not where it should be in my opinion with regards to drivers. That's where a lot of frustration comes in for people upgrading. They hear Vista/Windows 7 x64 allows for more RAM usage and BAM they buy it... only to discover that this and that don't work anymore. Who's the blame for this? Well that depends on who you ask.
My point, as you no doubt have discovered, is moving to a 64-bit OS can be painful if the homework isn't done.
I'm not calling you out, or pointing fingers. I just see this as a problem in general. At least you knew how to figure out your problem!
Imagine all those non-tech savvy consumers who bought a 64-bit OS only to discover the problems you have and have no idea what to do other than call tech support and/or shell out more money?
It's a shame and a shame! Retailers understand this but see dollar signs for "computer repairs"
Well, thats just my two cents.
At any rate I hope you find the drivers for your problem.

By Michael Felger
Playtime is over. Nantucket rules, but three weeks is my limit. Plus the heat was closing in (see below).
Long live the bag.
Hey Felger, I recently went through the painful experience of purchasing a newused automobile. The dealer I had done business with previously remembered me and told me he'd love to do business again. Having a previous relationship with the salesperson I thought was good, because I wouldn't have to go through the back-and-forth game of proposals and counter-proposals for 90 minutes only to end up at a price we both knew we'd eventually get to anyway. Instead, this person treats me like he met me two minutes ago, and goes through the same rigmarole all over again. I thought I'd earned enough respect in previous dealings to cut through all of that, and just get to the point. Apparently he thought going through this yet again may allow him to squeeze an extra dollar from my wallet even though we'd been through this fruitless game before. To the point: Bob Kraft is that car dealer who is treating Tom Brady like a guy who is making his first trip to his showroom floor. You don't pull this type of back-and-forth with a guy you've dealt with and whose efforts have helped make you uber-successful. You can play this game with draftees and other guys who haven't put in the time to the organization, but Brady should be treated differently as he's earned that respect. Ultimately I went somewhere else and got a little better deal for my new vehicle. I'm not returning to the first dealer ever again. Hopefully Mr. Kraft doesn't jerk Tom's chain too much. Brady is a lot more restricted in going elsewhere, but he's going to harbor some ill feelings if he continues to be treated just like everyone else.Kevin F.
First of all, I believe Brady is going to get his deal and sooner rather than later. I wouldn't even be surprised if something came out by tonight. Giving Brady some piece of mind before he takes off the non-contact jersey and starts getting hit for real is just the right thing to do. And I believe the Pats will ultimately do the right thing.
But letting it get this far has not been the right thing.
Felgy,Tom Brady is stupid for showing up for training camp. There should be no hometown discounts. This is his last big contract and no one has ever had more leverage than him in this situation. What would the Krafts and BB do, trade him, go with Brian Hoyer and wind up 5-11? Ha ha! How much money do the Krafts have? For all the back rubs guys like Kraft, Rooney and Mara get from toadies in the media like Peter King, the NFL chews players up and spits them out. They have the worst pension system going. A lot of these guys are cripples when they get to their 50s. Meanwhile, the owners are laughing all the way to the bank.Brady should hold out for top dollar. As a football fan, I'm on the players' side here. PAY THE MAN!KevinAcushnet
I'm with you all the way on that last point. I think it's outrageous that the owners are dragging the league into a labor battle when everyone is making money hand over fist. All 32 NFL teams land on the Forbes list of the 50 most valuable sports franchises in the world (only five baseball and two NBA teams make the list). Making money in that league is an automatic. Even pathetic franchises like Oakland and Cincinnati crush it. So how broken can the system be? NFL players have by far the worst CBA of any of the four major sports and the owners still want more? I think they should be getting hammered over this, but as you mention, there aren't many media members willing to do it.
As for Brady being stupid for reporting to camp I disagree. It's not in his nature to hold out, and I think he has to be true to himself. There's also not much risk given the fact he never gets hit at practice. But exhibition games are a different thing. If a deal isn't done by tonight, should he take the field? That's a tougher question.
Felger,The Patriots are extremely lucky Tom Brady is one of those guys that "gets it" and it is not in his makeup to hold out or cause any issues. However, as seen by the other deals, an extension can be had. Not only would it set a good example in the locker room, but it would put Brady's mind at ease and let him focus 100 percent on football. It also would benefit the Pats to get this done before Peyton Manning gets his deal done. You don't want Manning to get a ridiculous deal and then have Brady's agent beating down the doors to get more money because Brady has won three Super Bowls to Manning's one.As you would say, the Patriots simply don't pay. That is fact, not opinion. This false theory of being in cap hell is ridiculous. If you have smart management, especially a guy like Belichick, you will figure out a way to keep your top level players and be able to work out the cap situation. It sure would've been nice to see the Pats lock up Asante long term rather than having to spend a first and two seconds on corners over the last three years (McCourty, Butler, Wheatley) and overpay a guy like Bodden, who was solid but is not worth his salary.JP
The Pats are, indeed, fortunate to have a guy like Brady. There are a lot of players who wouldn't be in camp right now. And I agree it would behoove the Pats to get Brady done before Manning. Why let another team set the market for one of your players? But either way Brady isn't going to take another discount. Mike Silver of Yahoo! (who is clearly Brady's go-to guy on this matter) reported that Brady wants to be one of the two highest-paid players in the game (next to Manning). So I think this deal for Brady is going to look a lot different than the last one.
Felger,I haven't heard you talk about the Jets lately, especially in relation how they're so much better than the Patriots in spending for talent.I thought for sure that you or Tony would make the argument that the Jets would never make Tom Brady have to "beg" for his new deal, especially when he is widely considered to be one the best QB's in the league.I wonder what's been on lately that would have you two guys so silent all of a sudden?Oh, I know. They're low-balling Revis, the same guy who the Jets have been saying for a year is the BEST defensive player in the whole damn league! Is this how the Jets treat their best player, Mike?Say it ain't so, Mike!Do you guys know how obvious the silence sounds to the rest of us now that you and Tony have Jets amnesia? From the time you guys first came on the air it was a guarantee that everyday one of you guys would mention the Jets and how awesome they are at some point in relation to how cheap and talentless the Patriots are.Why don't you guys admit that maybe just maybe you were giving the Jets a little bit too much credit in your eagerness to bash the Patriots due to your lack of access to the team?And please, save your predictable response about me being a footsy pajama wearing pats fan.DanEast Providence, RI
Put away your footy pajamas, Dan. (Bam!) Seriously, if you haven't heard me talk about the Jets then you haven't been listening. I'm not as high on their chances as you would expect. Yes, they have a lot of talent (more than the Pats, in fact). But theyve also thrown together a lot of big personalities and questionable characters (Antonio Cromartie, Santonio Holmes, LaDainian Tomlinson, Braylon Edwards, etc). And the Revis thing is a big issue. He's their most important player, by far. He's the one who allows them to play defense the way they do. And if he's not there or not as effective, their entire defense changes. So I think the Jets will be in it, but they aren't the favorite in my mind.
As for the Revis contract impasse, it's a bit different than the Brady thing. Revis has three years left on his contract; Brady has one. The Jets, who have been spending through the nose for years, are on a little stronger ground than the Pats, in my opinion.
Mike,Jack Tatum was a classless turd who delighted in ending life as it was formerly known for Darryl Stingley in a totally meaningless preseason game and then trumpeted it. The consummate bully who knocks the milk out of the hands of the special-needs kids and then looks around for a high five. A soul-less sadist whom a quick death was frankly too good for. Truly a man who should have played in the modern era so that Rey Carruth could have tucked him away and closed the trunk latch.My only comfort is that Darryl passed on before he had to listen to a surprising horde of ball washers come out to eulogize a man who capitalized on that tragedy while claiming "Ill never understand why people look at me as the villain."As for me, Ill never understand how so many people can hate Rodney Harrison but like Jack Tatum. Seriously, do you think Rodney paralyzes a man and then writes a book extolling it?Peace,
Jake ScottBoston
Amen, Jake. Predictably, ESPN glossed over the real story. But we know the score.
Felgy,There's an interesting dynamic within the Red Sox pitching staff developing: underachieving, higher paid-pitchers are in the middleback of the rotation, while younger, inexpensive STARS are at the top. Forget the egos and the competition between players, do you think this poses any logistical problems for Francona? My outlook is that this pitching staff has no definition or form. Heck, what is the rotation? What are everyone's "roles," a term which I do believe is relevant to starting pitching? This isn't a new problem, either: remember the debate we had over who should start the first game of last year's ALDS? Part of the problem, in my opinion, is you just don't know what Beckett & Lackey are anymore.Thank you,
Greg, Manchester, NH
You're preaching to the choir on Beckett. He's just not as good as we think he is. But, overall, we shouldn't be surprised that the younger guys are performing better. It's one of the reasons I think it's smart to horde young pitching. It's not just a money thing. It's a performance thing. It's just more consistent heading into free-agent years than coming out of them.
Hey Felger,I think you guys are missing the point a little bit, as far as "The year of the pitcher." Sure, the lack of 'roids has brought the hitters back to earth, thank God! But is it really all pitchers that are dramatically better this year? Think about it: what happened to the TON of relievers who used to throw 97-to-99? Most of them are throwing 93-to-95 now. There's your steroid testing.No, this isn't the year of the pitcher so much as "The Year of the Starter." And yes, it's 100 percent the result of testing, but not for steroids, for amphetamines.Starters only have to get themselves physically and mentally ready to go every fifth day. You probably don't need speed for that. Starters don't play for stretches of 20-of-21 days for six solid months. They don't play day games after night games. If you're looking to go seven days a week and 700-plus plate appearances, you really, really miss your greenies. Don't you?Thanks.James
Absolutely correct, sir. It's the hidden story behind a lot of trends in the game. Heres another: Since they started testing for amphetamines, home teams are winning at a much higher clip. Why? It's a lot harder to get up for that fifth game on a six-game road trip without that spiked coffee. When you're at home, you don't quite need the same boost, do you?
I am officially calling out you, Michael, as a member of the anti-Patriot Cartel. This Cartel is led by the plagiarist, Ron Borges. Having Borges on Mohegan Sun to give opinion on the Patriots is like having Keith Olbermann on to give opinion on Republicans. Its not exactly fair and balanced now, is it? Next, it's funny how Borges is such a Brady supporter after failing to admit he was better than Bledsoe until Super Bowl win number 2. His appearances are unwatchable. Next comes Bert Breer. Hey, Bert is plugged in, is a good writer, and has good sources, but I love when he tries to tell us that the Colts are a better-run organization than the Patriots. Lets do the math, Bert. The Patriots have three Super Bowl wins and five appearances under Bob Kraft. Indianapolis has one Super Bowl win and two appearances. It's not even close. Chris Gasper and Tony Massarotti come next. Gasper does anything to be noticed. He was a big Patriot supporter last year until things went south, then he tried to be their biggest critic. This was probably because the front office wouldnt talk to him, as is the case with the Boston Globe in general. Finally, we've got Naughty Massarotti. Tony started his shtick back on WEEI when he was "Angry Tony." Now he's anti-everything except the Bruins, which is another pathetic attempt by 98.5 to prop up the Bruins' fan base for their show. Yes, Felger, you rip them, but also give them more airtime than any franchise, which is fine. Hockey has its place, but you are a hockey fan so hockey is great and the NBA stinks. But back to Tony M. Tony's big comment last year was, and I paraphrase, "I hate to break the news but the Patriots arent the dominant franchise anymore, both the Steelers and Colts have won Super Bowls more recently." Well, true, accept everyone disregards the Patriots' 18-1 season like it didnt even happen. They went to the Super Bowl folks, losing on a Hail Mary pass and a bad wheel that had Tom Brady in a funk all day. That was only two Super Bowls ago and let's not forget, Brady missed the next year or they might have been right back there.Finally, the head of the Cartel . . . YOU, Michael Felger. Felger, you are an enigma. You're entertaining, and no doubt have a place in the Boston scene on TV and radio. But you definitely have fallen in love with your own press clippings and ratings. You used to be the proponent of the Patriots Way, but in your short stint at ESPN 890 you lambasted the Patriots throughout the season and spent more time on gossip than analysis of the team. You think by being the opposite of the Big Show, who tend to be Patriot back-rubbers, you've found your niche. And maybe you're right, but as sports fans we need to hold you accountable. I think the players are getting screwed in this labor deal. No shocker, Mike. But the Patriots are in it with every team. I mean, who cares what Jim Irsay says? Its what Jim Irsay does that matters. Also, you cant seem to get through your head that the owners are colluding on this labor deal and NO one wants to be the one who breaks the deal. So Manning and Brady are going into walk years. It's just going to happen. If youre going to call out the Pats you have to call out all the owners.YOU decided in 2007 you would take your Bruins shtick about being a mean-spirited, cheap organization to the Patriots arena, but that argument falls short. Yes, the Patriots can go overboard at the negotiating table, and some of their methods are not as effective as they once were. This team can and should be criticized when warranted, as should every team. Yes they have made mistakes with Richard Seymour, Deion Branch and Asante Samuel and maybe Brady should have been resigned two years ago. But lets see, Mike, you want to demonize the greedy Kraft family. You are talking about the family who took over not just the worst franchise in the NFL but one of the worst franchises in sports. And what have they done in their 16 years of ownership? Let's see: 5 Super Bowl Appearances3 Super Bowl Wins9 AFC East TitlesHired a Hall of Fame coachA brand new, state-of-the-art stadium built with almost no public financing1 team in the regionOne of the top brands in the NFLOne of the most valuable franchises in the world
And dont forget, he's made 98.5 a viable station in the market as wellSo if Bob Kraft wants to secure himself and his league going forward, question the owners as a whole, not just Bob. It's funny, though. Leave it to sports writers and TV people to tell the guy who risked everything how to run things.So this is the cartel, they believe negativity makes them successful. Well see, but the ratings in this town are much richer when the teams win. And that's what they've been doing for 10 straight years. There will be a dip and we'll see if Pitinos famous words re-appear. But the cartel needs to be called out. Thats our responsibility.Lets stick to facts or is Sports TV nothing more than TMZ? You are there to be objective. I welcome it and agree with half of it. But dont be so myopic in your thinking. This team is successful for the same reasons it's disliked -- and their record speak for itself.Regards,George
Again, George got this posted on the Boston Sports Media website so I guess Ill respond to some of it here.
First of all, take a breath, dude. I've just called them as I've seen them. I think that starting around 2006 (the Deion Branch offseason), the Patriots have made as many poor decisions (at the draft, in free agency, on the coaching staff) as good ones. And I think their playoff record over these last four years versus what they did from 2001-06 reflects that. In other words, I think I've been right about a lot of this stuff. And it seems you even agree with some of it.
The real problem is the sensitivity of certain Patriots fans. I've never said the team sucks. I've never said Belichick was a bad coach, or that Kraft was a bad owner or that the organization was cheap. I've said Bill has made some mistakes and the Krafts have let money get in the way of some decisions that ending up hurting them. And I think the Krafts are doing it again with their role in the new CBA. I dont know how it's helping the Patriots on the field. Again, you seem to agree. You just don't like my tone.
But Ill repeat what I said the last time you wrote. Media guys like myself, Tony, Bert Breer and the rest are lucky to have you. Seriously. You read, watch and listen very carefully. Thats obvious. Youve got us all down cold, and while you may dislike us, youre still a customer. A very good one.
Felger,I want less sports and more topical issues on 98.5! Sports for four hours is BRUTUAL. Remember when you did the top 10 Hollywood cougars on 'EEI? Now that was great radio. Time to go back to that!PeterMelrose
Fine. Try this.
Mr. Felger,I have watched you for some time now and don't know why you are working in the Boston sports business. The reason being you are never happy about what any sports player or team does. You are a professional crap-stirrer, and half the time you have no idea what you are talking about.You gave David Ortiz such a bad time, why would he want to play in Boston? You were wrong with your assessment, as usual. You did not understand the YouTube with Big Baby because you can't remember being young or happy about anything. Mr. Felger, why don't you go to an area where you like the teams and players to put less stress on your life and be a little happier?PhillipBoston fan forever and happy for it.
You mean move somewhere else and not get any more of George's e-mails? Not a chance, babe.
Felger You DB!Hope you enjoyed your extended furlough on the Grey Lady. And, as always, your timing was impeccable as Nantucket 5-0 disrupted the local supply the day after Felgy-palooza 2010 was over. Well done. Anyway, it was nothing short of miraculous to see Jacoby Ellsbury make his return to the Sox. In 1995, Rod Woodson recovered from a blown ACL in 19 weeks. Fifteen years later, Ellsbury takes 17 weeks to heal from cracked ribs. Also returning in your absence was Jed Lowrie, who took 18 weeks to recover from the worst reported case of mono since Def Leppard's Pyromania tour in 1983. If only he were blessed with the superhuman recuperative prowess of legendary iron man Phil Kessel, who shrugged off a case of mono in less than a month. It might just be me, but there could possibly be an issue with the Red Sox medical staff. At this point I wouldn't be surprised to walk into the trainers room and see Varitek covered in leeches and Pedroia undergoing gem therapy on his ankle. And based on the smells coming from the concession stands, the Sox have apparently mastered the cultivation of penicillin for some time. And finally, in addition to holding the Vikings' QB position hostage, your good buddy Brett has apparently been slinging pics himself wearing nothing but a pair of Crocks to the phone of a rather attractive former member of the Jets staff. As you can expect, Brett's wife Diana was very upset to hear about her husband using his Blackberry as his own personal Gate D. Sending texts of his schmenzer to sideline hottie Jen Sturger was bad, but getting all dressed up to do it really boiled her crawdads. But you know somewhere old Broadway Joe is smiling. Not only does this trump his smooch request with Suzy Kolber, but it also rockets Favre ahead of Joe's dalliances with pantyhose in the category of most sexually questionable items worn by a Jets quarterback. Welcome back buddy,MikeAttleboro
Ah, its good to be back in the warmth of Mikes bosom. Feels like home. Besides, as he mentioned, there were a few issues down on the rock . . .
Felger,Newsflash: Police on Nantucket via helicopter have found and dismantled various marijuana crops. Reports indicate a man in jorts, wearing a "I heart Tanguay" shirt while drinking a Michelob Ultra, fleeing the scene. Descriptions of the suspect are sketchy, but they seem to indicate he may be a chronic DB . . . Art
Seems like I got out just in the nick of time.
Talk to you all next week.

It maybe a humble restaurant but its catchy sign catches your attention.
It is a bit difficult to resist going into a restaurant that has a sign outside that says "Now Everyone Can Eat". That line, I am sure, was borrowed from somewhere. Could it be AirAsia?
The three of us guys were actually en route to our targeted restaurant. Unfortunately, when we arrived there, the doors were closed.
We started blaming it all on our bad luck but Rawang doesn't suffer from a shortage of restaurants, so we walked a little further.
One friend said he knew of another place that was "quite reasonable". He wasn't talking about the price but the quality of dishes at that eatery.
About 10 minutes later, we stood in front of Bun Heng Restaurant. It looked very ordinary. Nothing made it stand head and shoulders above the rest, except for the sign with those familiar words.
A quick glance at the long banner at its frontage revealed that the popular species of fish is tilapia because its menu had "kampung styled stream tilapia, black bean sauce stream tilapia" and "chilli sauce stream tilapia".
Partly because of the earlier disappointment, our appetite wasn't that good so we decided to have a simple meal. The waitress asked what type of fish we wanted.
After two minutes of indecision, we decided to have "ikan haruan". I am partial to this fish because of the texture of its meat. Some people are of the opinion that this particular species is very good for those who have undergone an operation.
Vegetable farms
Apparently, it helps in "repairing internal organs". This alleged claim has not been verified by official sources but hundreds of housewives and relatives cannot be that wrong.
We also ordered a plate of the restaurant's signature tofu in Thai sauce. The third dish was vegetables. We all are aware that in Rawang, the greens are quite fresh because of the proximity of numerous vegetable farms.
The fish, as I had suspected, turned out to be quite delicious. I wasn't wrong about its smooth meat. I believe this fish is also known as Snakehead.
Snakehead is an elongated predatory fish that is fairly common in Asia and Africa. It has a big mouth, sharp teeth and is a joy for anglers because it is a real fighter when caught.
The signature tofu of Bun Heng Restaurant turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Normally, a restaurant will try its best to create its own special deep fried tofu.
I have tried tofu from several restaurants. Most of them have their own unique tastes. Very few are below average. So if you are the type who likes tofu, always ask if the restaurant has its own signature tofu.
Tofu is healthy and definitely does not hurt your teeth. It is also wonderful for digestion.
My friend praised the veggies. I really don't know why but he was so smitten by its taste. I put my finger on the "secret recipe sauce" that is probably an original creation of the establishment.
Simple dishes
Three simple dishes for three men who just walked into Rawang town proved to be just the kind of revitaliser we sorely needed.
Originally, we really had nothing special in mind except a good meal and perhaps a few cups of coffee an hour later.
Some people don't like Rawang. They say it is out of the way and a bit dusty during lunchtime. Someone must tell me why the main road is so congested at certain hours.
I suspect it could be the new growth areas at the fringes of Rawang town that draw the high volume of traffic.
Perhaps it is no longer true to say that Rawang is a quiet town anymore.
As for our lunch, it was a nice meal. Two members of the trio are not big eaters. I guess you can tell who has a big appetite in the group.
I think we merely scratched the surface as far as Rawang restaurants are concerned in that planned outing. I hope to hear from Rawang residents as to what are the other more popular eating spots in town.
I am trying to visit some of the smaller towns in my food trail. Little out-of-the-way places tend to have some very nice culinary surprises. Batang Kali and Ulu Yam Lama have some nice eating spots as I have found out last year.
Perhaps I will have better luck in the coming months.

And this is the guy Glenn Beck says we should vote for as a third-party candidate over Newt Gingrich.
Via Right Scoop:
How would I deal with the threat or the so-called threat of the Iranians, that they are going to disrupt the oil supply?
Well I'd be provoking them a lot less because they're reacting to the provoking of the West saying "we're gonna put on sanctions". We have them surrounded with nuclear weapons and we're claiming that they're gonna build a nuclear weapon and there's no evidence for this.
So we're just looking for trouble. We're building the war propaganda against Iran just as we did against Iraq.
And people want to go to war against Iran. And I think they're reacting to the provocations of so many other people saying that "we're liable to bomb you because you are building a nuclear weapon." But our CIA doesn't confirm that nor does the UN confirm that.
So they're acting actually in a rational manner because they're saying "they're gonna attack us and start bombing us". They have to say "well, we don't have any nuclear weapons, we can't really defend ourselves. So we might sink a boat, sink a ship out there in the Persian Gulf", hoping that we might back off.

i'm new in unity .. i have developed one game according to 800 * 480 resolution and my camera Projection is orthographic .
when i run it for 800 * 480 resolution it works fine but now i want to run the same game for iphone4 , ipad wide and i see blue screen (unity default background) appears on the top and and bottom
and blue screen (unity default background) appears on the left for iphone 5 ..

Before to use any guitexture or position any guiTexture or guiText , you have to get the Screen Resolution, dpi, width and height and assign you dimensions accordingly.
Here's a simple example:
public var myBackground:GUITexture;
public var otherImage:GUITexture;
// let us say otherImage is a button(texture) at the middle of the screen
function Start()
myBackground.pixelInset.width = Screen.currentResolution.width;
myBackground.pixelInset.height = Screen.currentResolution.height;
myBackground.pixelInset.x = 0;
myBackground.pixelInset.y = 0;
// now ur background is full screen
// don't use Screen.Width in this case
otherImage.pixelInset.width = Screen.width/4;
otherImage.pixelInset.height = Screen.height/4;
otherImage.pixelInset.x = Screen.width/2 - Screen.width/4;
otherImage.pixelInset.y = Screen.height/4 - Screen.height/4;
don't forget to set the trasform positions all to zeros in the inspector.
it works fine for guiTexture or guiText
the problem is with the real game .. i have made main menu using GUItexture main menu works fine problem is with the game scene
i've read many questions ..
i get to know that problem is with the camera projection .. in my game its orthographic
what do you have in your main scene? what are the assets?
A couple of Cubes and a sphere..with a single camera with orthographic projection..

Nour El Sharif Directs his Second Movie
Egyptian actor Nour El Sharif has confirmed that his second shot at directing is underway.
His new movie, Dakhlat Widad, (Widad's Alley), will begin shooting within this winter after the holy month of Ramadan.
It looks as if the actor has, as many directors have done before him, stuck to a set of actors.
As in his first shot at directing, Al Ashiqan (The Two Lovers), Sharif has signed up his wife Poussy for the lead role in Widad's Alley.
In an interview with Al Sharq El Awsat daily, Sharif explained that his latest project depicts the story of Widad, a beautiful woman played by Poussy. The action starts when Poussy, for an undisclosed reason, is always separated from the men she falls in love with.
Alongside Poussy, Huda Sultan, Faruq El Fishawi, Abla Kamel, and many other great names in Egyptian cinema, have signed on.
Meanwhile, Sharif told the London based daily that he has been working on the Widad project for six years.
Furthermore, the actor announced that he will be returning to his premier talent of acting in a Ramadan epic series on the legendary Omar Al Khayam, written by poet Abdul Salim Amin.
The series comes as a surprise since the ailing actor had previously announced that he would cease his work on the small screen for two years after last year's series Al Rajul Al Akhar (The Other Man) – Albawaba.com.

Note: Archie is still under heavy development and thus can only be considered as beta. Please submit bug reports in the forums here. Thank you.
Archie is a complete live Arch linux system (v0.7) to be run from a cd/usb, built with the KISS philosophy in mind. No packages have been stripped to provide a full Arch linux system, yet deliver fastest performance with no extensive bloating. Archie uses its own hw-detection tool (lshwd) ideally to support a wide range of hardware with low detection time. Archie also provides extended features like multi-lingual, nesting capabilities and hd-install.Archie iso's consists of several different isos, each directed to a different task :
|Archie XFCE
|Archie with XFCE desktop
|Archie KDE
|Archie with KDE desktop
|cd only
|N/A yet
|Skinny Archie XFCE
|Stripped down (uclibc) Archie with XFCE desktop
|N/A yet
|Skinny Archie KDE
|Stripped down (uclibc) Archie with KDE desktop
|N/A yet
The Archie project also offers the scripts (named archie-scripts) used to create the Archie iso's so other Archers may create their own Arch-based live system, very similar (in principle) to the linux-live.org project.
I want more!
Do you think we left out something incredibly important?
Do you have an idea you think we should implement?
Don't be shy! post your ideas here, and help us make Archie even better :)

According to the parliamentary al-Ahrar bloc, which is affiliated with the Sadrist Movement, the national conference — to be held at the request of President Jalal Talabani — will not achieve anything. Meanwhile, the bloc is seeking to set the protocol of the National Alliance to which it is affiliated so that the bloc is no longer subjected to will or decision of its components.
Talabani has been seeking for several months to bring together different political blocs in order to hold the national conference, called for by the National Alliance. However, the president's attempts have so far been in vain.
In a statement issued yesterday [Nov. 5], the head of the al-Ahrar bloc MP Bahaa al-Araji said that "the national conference, if it were to be held, will lead to nowhere … as political blocs and their leaders do not have any real intention to end their political differences.
"Some are playing for time and waiting for regional events to unfold. However, as Iraqis, we ought to focus on the situation of Iraq and Iraqi citizens. We ought to provide them with services, be it security services or something else.
"As Iraqi nationals, all political blocs and leaders must be part of this [national] project. But unfortunately, it has been revealed through past experiences that many blocs are committed to foreign agendas," he said.
Araji added that "the solution to all political problems must lie in the constitution. Unfortunately, the constitutional articles are being interpreted differently by each party, at their own discretion. For instance, Article 14 of the constitution is interpreted differently by the Kurdish Alliance, the Iraqi List and the National Alliance. Similarly, the National Alliance does not construe the issue of gas and oil and the deadlines to this effect as does the Kurdish Alliance."
Al-Ahrar's position against the national conference came as a surprise, since the bloc is considered as a key component of the National Alliance, which called for such a meeting.
According to MP Hakem al-Zamili, a member of al-Ahrar, the bloc has completed drafting its protocol, which is to be ratified shortly. The protocol aims to make the bloc an institution that is managed in accordance with regulations and not personal whims.
Zamili added to Al-Hayat that "the committee in charge of preparing the National Alliance protocol has already finished its work, although the protocol was scheduled to be set when the bloc was formed following the legislative elections in 2010."
"Al-Ahrar bloc was the first to emphasize the need of a protocol for the largest bloc in parliament.
"During the past periods, some parties within the alliance attempted to dominate the decisions of the bloc at the expense of the rest of the members. The protocol will set limits and defense the rights and duties of each party and prevent marginalization," he added.
Moreover, Al-Hayat learned that parliament will receive the draft federal budget for next year from the government during its resumed session. Parliament has also many delayed draft laws to tackle. Most important among them are general amnesty, infrastructure, the federal budget and federal court.
According to a high-ranking government source, the draft law provides for a $118 billiion budget. He also expressed hope that the budget will be swiftly adopted, without any political speculations.
It must be noted that on Oct. 23, the cabinet approved to increase the budget bill by 18% compared to last year.
Parliament spokesman, MP Mohammed al-Khalidi told Al-Hayat that the parliament presidency, including the leaders of the different political blocs, was to meet this morning to discuss the deferred draft laws.
"Parliament will convene following the meeting of the parliament presidency to discuss a number of draft laws, in addition to discussing the policy of the Central Bank of Iraq and the recent event that have taken place in the wake of the dismissal of the bank governor, Sinan al-Shabibi, who has been replaced," Khalidi added.

FRESNO — Not very patiently, the Torrey Pines High girls cross country team waited and waited.
After running 3.1 tough miles, they huddled together, afraid to ask but unable to ignore any speculation that they might have won the Division I team title in a race won impressively by Rancho Bernardo junior Molly Grabill at yesterday's State Championships.
"We did it," Torrey Pines coach Brent Thorne finally announced, the official results in hand.
The Falcons were the first team champion from the San Diego Section, girls or boys, in eight years and there was no reason not to let everyone at Woodward Park know how happy they were.
Thorne could barely hold back tears. After 23 years, he was able to celebrate a title.
It was anything but easy as the Falcons scored 134 points (low score wins) to edge favored Temecula Great Oak and San Clemente, who tied just three points behind.
Torrey Pines' win was a result of its three fastest runners placing in the top six and the other two scorers holding off enough competitors in the final mile to secure the victory.
Falcons senior Megan Morgan finished second to Grabill, closing over the final mile to finish in 17 minutes, 16 seconds to the Broncos runner's 17:06.
Torrey Pines junior Alli Billmeyer was fourth in 17:46 and sophomore Ashlyn Dadkhah sixth in 17:56. Sophomore Rachel Hiraoka's 52nd (19:08) and freshman Kelsey's O'Connell's 70th (19:27) provided just enough depth for the win.
"I gave them a few fiery words this morning and just let them go," Thorne said. "I could tell they were ready. I knew that if they finished second, they'd be disappointed."
Morgan would have been for sure.
"Coach has wanted this for 23 years," said Morgan, headed to the University of Washington. "It's our time and it took all of our runners to get it."
Grabill needed no special motivation after a sixth-place finish a year ago while suffering from the flu. Taking the lead from the start, she clocked the seventh-fastest time ever on the course and the quickest by a San Diegan, bettering the 17:13 run by Fallbrook's Milena Glusac in 1991.
For those needing a more modern comparison, it was only one second off the fastest time ever by San Luis Obispo Mission Prep's Jordan Hasay, a four-time state champ.
"I wasn't running for time," said Grabill, who looked as if she could have gone 10 seconds quicker if pushed.
Instead, the others tried to set a slow pace, so Grabill took off.
"It's so exciting to be healthy and if someone had pushed me I probably could have gone faster," she said.
Grabill is not finished, saying she wants to qualify next weekend at the Foot Locker Western Regionals at Mt. SAC for the National Championships the week after at Balboa Park.
Elsewhere, the top boys finishes were a seventh and eighth by Patrick Henry junior Ryan Urie (15:18) and senior Kellen Blumberg (15:21), with Urie going past Blumberg in the final 200 meters of the Division II race. La Costa Canyon sophomore Darren Fahy was ninth in Division I at 15:27.
In the first race of the day, Mt. Carmel senior Erin Menefee placed sixth in 17:59.

Christina Aguilera did not get what a girl wants this week on "The Voice," as her one remaining contestant of Season 3, Dez Duron, was voted out of the top eight on Tuesday. Team Xtina is officially no more.
Sure, this gives Christina more time to devote to other important pursuits for the rest of the season, like shopping for rainbow-dip-dyed wigs and promoting her new album, Lotus--which we all know was a bigger priority for her all along. But she's still probably feeling mighty blue right now.
I, on the other hand, am feeling Belew. And I'm probably more upset than Christina is, really. Because my boy Cody Belew from Team Cee Lo--my favorite male singer of the entire season--was the other contestant to go home this Tuesday. Le sigh.
While my heart broke into itty-bitty pieces seeing Cody get cut this soon, I was not hugely shocked. I suppose the writing was already on the NBC wall. Cody's glamboyant performance last Monday--of Beyonce's "Crazy In Love," complete with go-go dancers, bam-bam hip action, and lots 'n' lots of leather--was undoubtedly off-putting to more conservative viewers, even though he was safe by the skin of his gleaming white teeth last week. And while his Queen cover this week was a bit more sedate, let's face it: This guy was never going to be everybody's cup of chardonnay.
And considering that Cody once wasn't voted through by America even when he gave his most traditional performance of the whole season, "One More Try" (he was Cee Lo Green's personal top 12 pick that week), perhaps he was doomed no matter what.
It's really too bad. I will miss Cody dearly, and "The Voice" will be much, much less exciting without him. But at least he went out with a bang (and with a bam-bam), performing two flashy, absolutely fabulous performances back-to-back. "I really wanted to show everyone that that's the kind of concert you would see from me in any arena around the word," Cody explained last week, when host Carson Daly had questioned him about his risky "Crazy In Love" spectacle. And I still look forward to seeing Cody's arena show someday. And hey, on the bright side, now Cody is free to book an arena tour with the other major robbed reality-TV showboaters of 2012: "The X Factor's" Lyric 145! (This is my dream. Someone make this happen. Please.)
In all seriousness, there may actually be a glass-half-full way of looking at these results. First of all, the first three contestants to make it through to the top six--Cassadee Pope, Amanda Brown, and Melanie Martinez--were all female, and in an age when girls hardly ever succeed on "American Idol" (and didn't fare so well on "The Voice" Season 2, either), it was a bit heartening to see that the ladies could still rock the public vote. Second, Dez Duron--arguably the most handsome, but least vocally gifted, contestant in the top eight--went home instead of less conventionally attractive hopefuls (Nicholas David, for instance). So maybe this proves that "The Voice" really is about the voice, after all...
Oh, who am I kidding? The glass is half empty. Cody's gone. Christina Aguilera, if you're reading this, let's go commiserate together and hang out with Cody after the show. I'll bring the chardonnay.

The number of taps has been steadily multiplying at this place, and the food has been getting better as well. While it used to be a place that I went for the cheapest possible drinks, I would say that it has graduated to being legit beer bar. The happy hour isn't as good as it once was, but is still a great deal. The food is solid, but I probably wouldn't seek this place out for dinner. Stick to the aptly named "beer snacks," which are greasy, cheap and delicious. Not necessarily a "first choice" bar, but a very good second tier establishment.
cards04 (167) Steinbach, Manitoba | October 19, 2017
Pretty cool place. Didn't eat though. Solid tap selection. Lots of locals. Service was very prompt and friendly. Nice stop.
TheHOFF43 (169) Robbinsdale, Minnesota | October 13, 2015
Great beer list, solid food, cool atmosphere. Nothing crazy but lots of really good beer options that rotate quickly. Seasonals and some unique stuff.
Atom (227) Minneapolis, Minnesota | May 23, 2015
Used to go here more when my brother lived in the area but I really like it. Kinda a college dive bar atmosphere. Lots of good rotating taps with seasonls and the occasional special keg. Good food and good service. Might be my favorite Blue Plate resturant.
gopherfan99 (190) Minnesota | May 2, 2014
Local St. Paul place. The food is okay but the beer selection is pretty good. They decorate the walls with old tap heads. The service has always been pretty good. Good place to stop in for a beer or two if you are near by but not necessarily a "must see" place.
t0rin0 (1529) Do Not Resuscitate, California | July 16, 2013
Visited November 16, 2011.
We were greeted by a guy that was coming out of the door and spit on the floor. I kind of ignored it (having played baseball for 8 years) but started laughing when the people around reacted. Seriously, who spits in the middle of the floor inside a bar? Luckily the floor was covered with plastic since they were doing some construction work.
We got a table near the entrance and ordered a flight and a pint. Some of the new (to me) beers were ones from less popular breweries but they were things that I cant find in California so I decided to give them a try.
Didn't eat. Service was fairly prompt despite it being pretty busy. Would probably stop in again if in the area.
deyholla (663) Minneapolis, Minnesota | December 1, 2012
Stopped in to meet up with an old friend while visiting another. A large bar with kind of a college bar feel to it. Service was good but nothing special. The selection was nice, especially as they had a good number of local taps. Tried a few apps and they were solid while not great. Not a bad place.
emeinz (47) Minnesota | September 25, 2012
Nice local joint in St. Paul. Good tap selection. Food is decent enough. Nothing too fantastic. Prices are decent as well. Definitely not a destination, but a solid place for good beer
Nuffield (112) Roseville, Minnesota | July 20, 2012
This is a very solid place for beer. Food is o.k. (I've only ever had appetizers, though.) The happy hour prices make this quite good, and I'm always able to find a) good beers, and b) local beers. The interior is a classic midwestern boozer, with a large study body clientele, but they're usually Macalester or St. Thomas students, so they're harmless. Don't go out of your way to get to this bar, but it's a good place to go if you're staying in the area.
XmnwildX12 (51) Farmington, Minnesota | June 1, 2012
Had a nice large selection of beers for reasonable prices. Had a quick stay because we were there for Schadenfreude which ran out before we got there. But I would definitely head back again to grab a couple beers.

Long a believer in the idea of cities preserving their history, Berk has played an important part in identifying Escondido's historic structures, while supporting efforts to preserve them.
Berk helped push the city's first historic preservation ordinance, helped organize the first survey of Escondido's historic architecture, played a big role in creating the library's Pioneer Room, and served on both the city's Design Review Board and Historic Preservation Commission, among other credits.
Now her efforts are being recognized beyond the city's borders. Berk has been selected to receive the 2007 People in Preservation Lifetime Achievement Award from the Save Our Heritage Organisation in San Diego.
She'll receive the award at a May 19 ceremony at the Naval Training Center Chapel.
"I'm pretty excited. It's such a great honor," said Berk, who also counts a stint as Times Advocate and North County Times librarian on her resume. "It didn't seem like much, but some of the battles were pretty bloody. They weren't all won, but Escondido has come a long way over the past 30 years in its respect for its built history."
Berk was selected for the award by a jury of preservationists at the heritage group.
"She has just had a lifelong dedication and passion for history," said Amie Schaeffer, a member of the selection jury. "The preservation people tend to stick together. She's very well-known around here. … Everyone was in agreement that this is a long overdue award to be given to her."
School salutes: The best and brightest in SanMarcos schools will be saluted tonight at the Excellence inEducation & Scholarship Awards Ceremony. The city, Chamber ofCommerce and the school district partner for the sixth annualawards, which recognize the teacher and classified employee of theyear at each of the district's 17 schools, as well as the studentof the year in every grade at each school.

Cold weather offers many pleasures, whether you're heading for the great outdoors or just curling up with a book and a warm blanket. But there are some things you need to prepare for.
Think layers when you venture outdoors into the chill of winter. Clothes filled with down, Polartec, or other manmade insulating materials offer the best protection. Wear a hat and use mittens if possible (they're warmer than gloves).
If sledding is your sport, choose your hill carefully. Avoid areas that are too steep or have obstructions like rocks or trees. The best sleds are those that you can steer; the safest way to ride is sitting up (there's less risk of head injury this way).
For ice skaters, manmade rinks are the best choice because the surface is smooth and there's no danger of falling into frigid waters. If you do want to skate on a pond or a lake, be sure the ice is at least 4 to 6 inches thick with no holes or soft spots.
Want to try snowboarding or skiing? If you're new to a sport, it's a good idea to take lessons. An experienced instructor can give you advice on choosing equipment, clothing, and accessories, and also can explain techniques to help you avoid (or reduce your risk of) injuries.
Helping your parents, grandparents, or older neighbors clear their snowy sidewalks is a great workout. For most teens, shoveling snow is not a problem, since they're usually in better physical condition than adults. But remember to bend your knees as you lift to avoid shoulder, back, and neck injuries.
Traveling during cold weather requires special precautions. If you snowmobile, you should wear several layers of clothing, a helmet, and glasses or goggles. Be especially cautious when crossing roads. It's best to avoid frozen lakes and rivers because drowning is a leading cause of snowmobile fatalities.
Driving a car is not easy in wintry weather. If you're an inexperienced driver, your best bet is to stay off the road during bad weather. To practice, ask someone with winter driving experience to take you to a vacant parking lot where you can practice driving, turning, and stopping in the snow.
If you must travel, keep your car gassed up so that the fuel lines don't freeze. Remember to clean snow off taillights and headlights. Watch out for slow-moving vehicles like snowplows.
Put together a car emergency kit that contains:
If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle. Run the heater occasionally to keep warm, but avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by making sure your tailpipe isn't plugged by snow or other debris.
People who stay out in the cold too long may risk frostbite and hypothermia. With frostbite, your body tissue literally freezes. Frostbite is fairly rare in teens' everyday outdoor activities, but if your ears, toes, or fingers feel really cold, get out of the cold. If the discomfort or tingling doesn't go away after a half hour or so, it's time to call a doctor.
Hypothermia happens when a person's body temperature falls below 95º F (35º C) and his or her normal body functions start to fail. A person who is out in the cold too long, gets wet in the cold, or stays in water that is below body temperature too long may exhibit symptoms of hypothermia, which include chills, shivering, confusion, and difficulty with coordination.
If you suspect that someone has hypothermia, get the person inside, out of wet clothes and into dry ones, and wrapped in warm blankets. Feed the person warm liquids and call for emergency medical help.
Here are some other ways to keep safe during wintry weather:
Even indoors, there are some cold-weather health hazards to watch out for. More people come down with colds and the flu as activities move indoors for the winter. Avoid missing out on winter fun by getting your flu vaccine. Eat healthy foods and get enough rest to boost your immune system. Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly to stop the spread of germs.
The risk of house fires also increases with cold weather. At holiday time, make sure decorations are placed away from heaters and fireplaces; check the wires on light strings for fraying or bad connections. If you light candles, blow them out if you'll be out of the room for a while. Keep electric or kerosene space heaters away from curtains, furniture, or other flammable materials (including yourself!) to avoid fires and burns.
If your family has a woodstove or a fireplace, you may want to remind your parents to get a yearly chimney inspection and cleaning. Also, put new batteries in smoke detectors and check that they are all functioning properly.
Carbon monoxide poisoning is another indoor danger. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by wood- or gas-fueled appliances (such as heaters, stoves, water heaters, or dryers) that don't burn properly, as well as by charcoal grills and automobiles.
Feeling very tired (more than usual) and having long-lasting headaches are both symptoms of CO poisoning. You should also be suspicious if other people in the house are experiencing these symptoms at the same time. Having carbon monoxide detectors in your home is a good idea, too.

The Ontario Medical Association (OMA) should not drag patients into its dispute with the provincial government over the OHIP fees paid to physicians, Health Minister Deb Matthews says.
The minister's comment was in reaction Monday to an on-going OMA advertising campaign that claims Ontarians are losing health services as the government tries to cap total spending on doctor compensation.
"I find it enormously offensive when doctors put their patients in the middle of this. We've been seeing that," Matthews said Monday. "Make no mistake about it. This is all about money. This is all about how much doctors get paid."
OMA President Dr. Doug Weir said the Dalton McGuinty government has drawn patients into the debate by unilaterally cutting OHIP fees, reducing their access to important health services.
Weir said the McGuinty Liberals have "dug themselves into a hole" with their spending and now want to climb onto the backs of doctors to get out.
The previous four-year deal between the Ontario Medical Association and the provincial government expired on March 31, and negotiations between the two sides have broken off.
The doctors have offered a two-year fee freeze but want the overall compensation budget to rise with increased demand and new doctors.
Matthews says she wants to freeze overall in spending on doctor pay so that she can put more money into home care.
The government decided last month to impose $338 million in fee cuts but still wants a negotiated settlement with the doctors.
The OMA has not returned to the negotiating table despite her invitation, Matthews said.

The Indians have promoted two of their top young outfielders, moving Luigi Rodriguez up from low Class A Lake County to high Class A Carolina and bringing Anthony Santander to Lake County from extended spring training.
Rodriguez, 20, is Cleveland's No. 8 prospect and had hit .263/.345/.329 in 22 games for the Captains after spending the entire 2012 season with Lake County. Rodriguez still gets big with his swing and needs to keep his strikeouts in check, but he's a 70 runner with solid plate patience.
Santander was a July 2 signing in 2011 out of Venezuela who has moved extremely quickly. The 18-year-old corner outfielder hit .305/.381/.494 in 43 games last year in the Rookie-level Arizona League and is the organization's No. 14 prospect. He joins Dominican shortstop Dorssys Paulino as two of Cleveland's international signings from the 2011 who have rapidly pushed through the system to the Midwest League already.

The ALFA Archives includes the organizational records of ALFA as well as other southern radical women's groups. The extensive subject files in ALFA's archives provide information about regional resources on subjects such as women's spirituality and creativity, Jewish women, women and religion, and spirituality and women. There are also files on organizations such as the Evangelical Women's Caucus, Bet Haverim: A Synagogue for the Lesbian and Gay Community, Integrity, the Metropolitan Community Church, and Presbyterians for Lesbian and Gay Concerns.
Hist/Bio Note
The Atlanta Lesbian Feminist Alliance (ALFA) was founded in 1972 by a group of radical lesbians, who broke away from Atlanta's Women's Liberation Center to more fully address the issues facing lesbians. ALFA is one of the oldest lesbian feminist organizations in the United States. Deeply concerned to preserve herstory, ALFA maintained the Southern Feminist Library and Archives (SFLA), containing feminist, lesbian, and activist periodicals, books, and subject files. ALFA disbanded in 1994 after over 20 years of Southern feminist activism.

A finding aid is available online at the following web address. It describes the entire holdings and gives perspective on the relatively minor role religion played in the consciousness of this lesbian feminist group.http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/dynaweb/findaids/alfa/@Generic__BookView
The collections are held in the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library of Duke University. Follow links on the left sidebar to the Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture.http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/
