Re: RDi 9.5 announcement

Company laptop, I am not allow to change the corporate image...

Maybe I can help our help-desk to give me loaner while they reload. What the heck, I guess that is worth a shot!

Just strange that only RDI, and nothing else give me issues.

Honestly, I would just rather it work, and I would not have to drivel on.
<frown>

Same video drivers for windows 7 since I got this laptop approximately 3-years ago. This is a Dell Latitude, intel core i5 560M @ 2.67 GHz with 8.00 GB Dual-channel DDR3 @ 531MHz.

I do not have any issues, except for RDI. No blue screen of death, or any other application issues. Only RDI does it quirky behavior. My previous laptop also had issues with RDI.

I have been using RDI for over 9-years. I have had other people at my cubicle to witness the bizarre behavior. And I have witness bizarre RDI behavior on other Laptops.

The only thing common is RDI. I just tell my co-workers to restart, and then create a new workspace if it does not work. If you can replicate the error, report it to IBM and open a PMR to get it fixed...

I would be OVER-JOY at a stable Rational Developer!!!!

PS. I guess the occasional restart of RDI, is acceptable. Just the nature of this software, sadly...

Ken,

I've not personally seen the issues you describe...nor do I recall any other posts mentioning them.

Which leads me to conclude it's something about _your_ PC.

Have you tried updating Video/Keyboard/Mouse drivers?

As a last resort, have you considered re-installing windows?

Intermediate, not full time. But still very annoying!

Like the save-icon not working, as the dot-netters laugh, and say it
works in Microsoft products. <frown> As they hear me cussing.

Every so often my delete key stops working, cursor disappears. And
force to create new workspace. Not very often, but still happens. That
does not happen in Microsoft Products.

If I could repeat the error on a consistent basis, I would open dozens
of PMR to get these fixed. But it is quirky, and I have no clue why it
happens. It "seems" to happen most when I am debugging a program for
some strange reason. Not repeatable tough. That is the part that
drives me BONKERS!!!! And I KNOW for a fact, I am NOT THE ONLY ONE...
<sad face>

OH well, I need shut-up. I need to get use to re-starting RDI several
times during the day. And then maybe re-create new work-space and move
on is the motto for this product.

A new release is NO GOOD, if it breaks things that worked fine in a
previous release. I hope and pray that IBM does QUALITY control on
this release BEFORE releasing it to the public...

Yes, I am skeptical, as past experience have taught me that...
<Big Frown>

New features are worthless, if the base package is not 100% stable...

PS. I hope I eat humble-pie and crow!!!!
<Big Smile>

RDI user for over 9-years now. Still a WHOLE LOT BETTER than SEU, even
with it occasion "quirks"... <smirk>
