Trust doesn’t support Windows XP X64 with drivers. So doesn’t their 5.1 Surround USB Headset: “HS-6200”.
But similar to the Epson Perfection 2480 Photo case, the Windows Vista X64 drivers work for Windows XP X64!
Just download the Windows Vista X64 drivers and install them in Windows XP X64. The installation of the control panel applet won’t work but the driver will!
So you are stuck with the drivers’ default settings which are: Input mode: 2 Channels, Output mode: 6 Channels (Speakers) so the bass boost will work!
Please notice that the driver caused quite some system load for me in Windows XP X64 so otherwise fluent Sega Rally turned into a non-fluent experience.
The headset is based on C-Media’s CM106 sound chip. The CM106 sound chip is known for causing small white noise when the micro is not deativated in Windows’ audio device’s settings. (But it’s not too bad I think, I never bothered!).
You may also C-Media’s own drivers but they won’t support the bass boost! (And the control panel of this release doesn’t work eitzher!

The ICQ Team just released ICQ 6.5 now. New thing is Open Xtraz means people can create their own xtraz for ICQ!##
A thing that was promised since years but it never came!
ICQ 6.5 Beta looks exactly like ICQ 6 so no need to provide new screenshots
Also the functionality of downloading them doesn’t work for me (neithe in Opera nor in IE7 but in both cases the browser would offer you to start the app in ICQ 6.5 but nothing happenes.
Also the ICQ Gallery page has broken pics for me.
Probabl.y the thing is buggy like hell yet or overloaded/not completed!

September, 1st (so that’s today) is a sad and dark day for many in the Skype community! As Skype announced, SkypeCasts is no more!
Effective from now on, SkypeCasts is down.
Skype even replied to the comments on the above linked announcement.
Skype’s replies to the angry and sad usershi can be read here.
Skype is definately going into the wrong direction. – I hope they will notice this before it’s too late!
It will be sad to see Skype going downhill being a day-1 user of Skype!
According to Skype-News.com this was done to be more buisiness like:
“In order to focus its business more, Skype also just announced that it will disable Skypecasts, Skype’s ability to broadcast to a large group of listeners, effective September 1st.”
Not a nice reasoning if you ask me.
At least Dan York wrote something nice about how Skype changed the way to think about communication!

I have complained very often in past that the technical skill and the knowledge about their own product of the the Technical Support Guys is often extremely questionably.
I have been stuffed with many false information just to figure out they had no idea what they are talking about. Even being very polite and always keeping their temper isn’t really helping the users.
Granted, they released a firmware update that fixes a lot of bugs but unfortunately it appears they revised the update and re-uploaded it just to figure out it’s broken now as the device will say you already have the latest update and will just not update.
They have removed it from the product page but kept it on the grouped products download page.
Latest firmware is 1.4.152.2018 from Dec 06, 2007 and it fixes a lot of bugs and issues.
Please contact me and I will send you the WOKRING update for your Ipevo SOLO!
I have been told that the Ipevo guys read my blog, so I would appreciate a feedback from Ipevo!

The Blog maintenance is completed now.
This wasn’t done by Mr. Dew as – except for 2 emails – he didn’t get really back to me.
The bugs have been ironed out thanks to the fantastic work of the SezWho Team who I contacted asking for help.
So my blog also works now with the default security and privacy settings in IE again (A problem with The SezWho JS prevented this), also the Swicki Badge displays in Safari now.
It also looks equal in Opera and Firefox.
A letter to them resulted in an email conversation with their developer – thanks!
On the downside, I have to say that the Forum is still down – the reason for this is that since last week I have the problem that my internet is some days down betweem 9:30 PM and 23 PM.
My ISP didn’t find the cause for this, yet!
So far I can celebrate that yesterday and today, no problems so far! 🙂
I hope to be able to spam clean my forum soon (probably on Monday the 9th September).

Skype celebrates 5 years of being.
Skype has a lot of space for improvment, like multiple account problems fixing, customer care & suppor working, etc.
Many people felt the way Skype goes with 4.0 is wrong.
Skype has a lot of problems to solve so let’s see how well they will go with it.
You can read all accross the press that Ebay wasn’t so happy with its investment after all.
All the best Skype for the next 5 years.

UPDATE:
The AAA cells are not from USBCell!
Here is their statement:
“Hello Joerg,
USBCELL is a patented product created by Moixa Energy Ltd.
The AAA size batteries have not yet been launched. We are contacting Amerone regarding the AAA cells they offer. Moixa Energy holds the patent for USBCELL and therefore any AAA cells would be in breach of our patent and might be harmful to devices you use it in, as it does not go through our QA procedures.
You can purchase the AA size directly from us on www.usbcell.com/product/1
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Filipe Vieira”
Looks like Amerone has a soft spot for surprising people as they ineed have AAA USBCells available for order! 🙂
Amazing, as I found them nowhere else even not on USBCell.com and I received no availability email from USBCell.comeither!
I had reviewed the AA type of the batteries and found them to be awesome. If the AAA type is the same quality wise, then here we have got another sale hit!
Looks like the USBCell Man did a superb job!!

Well, it isn’t, at least not for me and I get 600 kbit/s UMTS (3G)
Well, maybe because I am not living in the US?
`
Who knows.
Anyway, blogger Rob Reed posted a video that compares the TV spot speed wih the speed of the US.
I can only say glad sometimes to not live there. It might be only in some hardware revisions as mine works fine no hiccups or anything….and then notice I have got one of the first 5000 (so first row sent to customers) over here.
Anyway here is the video, enjoy:
