Help with graphic skipping!!!

I just built my own computer and i am having problems with my new graphics card. It is a GeForce4 Ti4200. When i first completed my new PC, it was working fine. All of a sudden, I started having graphic problems. Whenever I run a screen saver, play a DVD or simply scroll up and down in explorer, it seems as if the screen is skipping. The image will play for for a second, freeze for a split second, and continue doing this. It is almost like a CD that is slowly skipping. I have tried changing the refresh rate, color depth and resolution, on top of changing other various properties. This is driving me crazy and I don't know what to do. can anyone help me. Please!!!

My power supply is 350 watts
this is everything attached to my PC
*has its own power source

Need help with Graphics and Severs

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question so please tell me if i should move it else where.
I am trying to make a server that will connect two applets on different computers. I got it so they can talk to each other though text(i.e. Once types something into a text box, it shows up on the other) but i cannot find out a way to do the same with graphics( i.e. one draws something, it shows up the same on the other). DOes anyone have any idea what i can do. Thanks!

ok, i now have another problem. When i try to get this code to work, it gives me an java.io.NotSerializableException. Here is the code that is not working using the Message class that you wrote:
ObjectOutputStream os;
//later on in code
os.writeObject(new ImageChatMessage(ImageChatMessage.IMAGE,someImage));
//this is where it gives me an errorThis is the complete error that it gives me:

Do you have any idea what is causing this and how i might be able to fix it?

Help with graphic editing

I think I have gotten myself in over my head. I am using the
FreeHand software, & I know absolutely NOTHING about graphic
design or this program. So, I'm hoping that someone with some
patience can help me out. I have downloaded a vector image & am
trying to edit it. The picture is of a flower. I basically only
need to change the background color & to change the overall
color of the flower. I have no idea where to begin. Any help?
Thanks!!!

Even though you have downloaded a vector illustration if it
was saved as
an EPS and brought into FH then it may or not be editable at
that point.
If it looks and acts like one piece of artwork (cannot
select
separate parts of it) and you cannot "Ungroup" it (Select art
> Edit >
Ungroup) then you are probably dealing with an EPS that FH
cannot edit.
Go to the Object Inspector and see what it says it is at the
top of
the panel when the artwork is selected. If it says Group or
Path or
Compound Path then you can edit. If it says EPS then you
can't edit.
You will need to crack it by using Illustrator or Distilling
to PDF. If
you are on a Mac you can open the EPS into the application
Preview and
it will make it a PDF. Then save it as a PDF from Preview and
open in
FreeHand.
Good Luck,
Rich

Help with Graphics on bootcamp and Windows 7...

So, i installed windows 7 home premium 64bit via bootcamp on my mac. I'm playing RIFT, and honestly, on medium graphics I'm getting poor fps (14 at best) and over all the graphics seem lower quality than I feel they should. My question is, is it possible I need to install new drivers for my video card? According to Windows 7 they are up to date, but i'm confused as to if this is truly correct as its bootcamp, and this is my first experience with it so I may be missing something. Any help would be appreciated!

You can download the latest drivers at amd.com by going to Support & Drivers, MAC Graphics, Apple Boot Camp, iMac, Windows 7-64 bit.
You can also use the Mobility Radeon HD 5xxx drivers (iMac's use notebook GPU's) which are slightly newer, but I haven't noticed a difference in performance.

Need Help With Script Skipping Word Before Variable

I borrowed and modified a skip I found here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4808804 with code borrowed from elsewhere.
I noticed that it seems to run fine, but it skips any word that appears right before a variable. The point of the script is to find any text using an italic override or bold override, and replace the override with the appropriate character format from the catalog.
Can someone tell me why the code below skips words before a variable? I am sure it is a simple thing, but I am teaching myself Extendscript, and only recently started the attempt/
Thanks,
Marc

removeOverrides (doc)
function removeOverrides (pDoc)
    var vDocStart = pDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;
    var vBoldFmt=pDoc.GetNamedCharFmt ('bold')
    var vItalicFmt=pDoc.GetNamedCharFmt ('italic')
    initFA_errno ();
    var vTextLoc = new TextLoc(vDocStart,0);

It looks like home assignment. Home assignment are not very welcome here. I can help you only a little. It's very simple application, but if you dont know basics in OO, you are in trouble.
Create these three files, even empty with all points you need to accomplish in them as comments.
Think about gui you need. If you do not know how to make menus and other fancy gui you can do only with one main panel with a few buttons and JOptionPanes appearing for every input.
Buttons for each task:
1. get available rooms; press and see JOptionPane telling what rooms are empty (information message)
2. book: JOptionPane asking how many guests, you input, it checks for availability, if available rooms are not enough (or beds) another OP tells that it's impossible, if enough - offer to input room number, you input, check if the room is booked, then offer to input name, then offer quit.
3. unbook.
4.get report
Once you design how it looks, every step becomes very simple. All methods you need to implement are simple array manipulations. Make report last, because it's just collection of printouts from methods you've already done.
In book, you need to look for definitions of constructor, passing arguments to methods, returning results from methods, creating object with "new" operator, simple event handling, JOptionPane documentation and examples, which are in every decent textbook.
Do not panic, it's really simple but rather tiresome application, if you do it by yourself you learn almost everything necessary to start programming in java.

Please help with graphic card

hey guy i have a problem picking a graphics card that is compatible with my computer i have a pavilion a6030n specs are
Chipset
GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
Motherboard
Manufacturer: ECS
Motherboard Name: MCP61PM-HM
HP/Compaq motherboard name: Nettle-GL8E
my psu is only a 300 watt i only want a card to make my desktop like a home theater hd/bluray movies no gaming i want it to support 1080p full hd and have a hdmi output. is there any card like this that i can just install with out upgrading my psu please help thanks

Please help. I am confused. I have the same specs as the original poster and am also looking to upgrade my system, but i'm confused. The video card you recommended appears to be 512MB, however, HP's specs for the motherboard state:
Integrated graphics using nVidia GeForce 6150SE
Up to 256MB (with 512MB or more system memory)
Also supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards*
So, if it says it supports up to 256MB, should i limit my search for a new video card to only ones that have 256MB, or will a 512MB one, like the one you recommened, also work?
Thanks.

Please Help with Graphics Card "Bait & Switch"

I ordered a laptop for using as a field monitor and DVR with OnLocation (DV Rack) with the Quadro FX 2500M graphics card. At the last moment the builder says the Quadro is not available (or he can't afford it) and can only offer the NVidia 7950GTX or dual 7950 GTX SLI. Can anyone please help me decide whether or not to accept either one of these alternatives?
Need to make quick decision to accept or cancel so any help much appreciated.

Workstation cards are not really any help to the NLE user. Neither is SLI. I'd say you'll be fine with a single 7950, if you trust the guy enough to buy from him.

Need help with graphics card Hp Pavillion a6530.sc will a 9800GTX or 9800GT work?

Will there be enough room for a new grapihcs card to replace the old one since it's fan has broken and I could use a new Graphics card. I know that the 9500GS is quite small but will there be enough place for a 9800GT/9800GTX if there isn't could you give me the name of a graphics card manufactured by Nvidia that is as powerful as a 9800GT/GTX, and fits in to the pc. Any help will be appreciated!

Well, you are starting out from a fairly low baseline with the integrated graphics. It will not cost much to have a substantial increase if all you want to do is run WoW without error messages. Yes, the 300w power supply is an issue and rules out any card that will require its own power (i.e. needs its own power cord like a hard drive) but there are several mid-grade cards that can run off bus power alone (i.e. just from the pci-e slot itself). Just taking a quick look at newegg.com I see the following:
GeForce 9400 under $50
Radeon HD 4650 under $50
GeForce 9500GT a little over $50
Any of these should get you where you want to be and not require a PS upgrade. The slot you have available is a PCI Express x16 slot so don't look at AGP cards; they will not work. If you want to install the card you mention you need to get a better PSU.

Need help with graphics card upgrade

I have a stock p6140f and am looking to run on the new WoW expansion. I have gotten by to this point with the intel GMA 3100 /G33 that comes with this desktop. I have recently run into issues with crashes during game. I have always had it on the high resolustion and never encountered any problems. I am looking for a graphics card that will run the game WITHOUT replacing my power supply. I know that it has a 300W PSU and that is has a
Expansion Slots:
1 PCI x16 slot for graphics card
What I dont know is what will work for this upgrade.The specs. list it as a PCI slot, not a PCI Express 2.0 slot. If this card doesnt work then I was looking for any card that would be compatible with the system that could run the game

Need help with graphics card options for an early 2008 mac pro

Hello,
   I have an early 2008 mac pro with 2 x 3.2 GHz quad core Intel Xeon and 6Gigs of ram, currently running with an Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT with 512mb.
    It is also running 10.7.2.
   I would like to either add a video card on top of the one I am currently running or replace it completely if necessary.
   I do video editing on the Mac, no gaming and only a small amount of photoshop, and as the resolutions get larger I would like to have my machine keep up.
   My questions are,
     1. What cards would you the community suggest?
     2. Can I add a whole other card to my system or do I have to replace the current one?
     3. If I can hold two cards what special accomidations would be needed in regards to final cut performance if any?
    Thank you for any help you would like to give.
Rob

The two main cards for mac pros are the apple versions of the ATI Radeon 5770 and 5870.
The 5770 requires one aux power adaptor and the 5870 requires two. So generally you could only have one 5780 or two 5770's.
Video cards which don't require aux power should be able to coexist with these cards so log as it's all within the power supply maximums of course.

Help with Graphics card purchase

I'm planning on buying a new graphics card for my creaky old Mac (G4 400 MHz PowerPC, CRT display, running Tiger). Mainly because I do a lot of 3D modelling/rendering work and I think it would improve the experience I have with the apps that I use daily. Apart from not being up to spec for modern games graphics my Mac works pretty darn well (probably because I have a shed-load of RAM), so I'm not planning on getting a new Mac any time soon. I just want to cheaply soup-up this one.
I'm looking at getting either the 'ATI Radeon 9600 Pro - Mac', or possibly the cheaper 'ATI Radeon 9200 Mac Edition'.
After looking online I have seen that users of both have reported some problems. The 9600 has been reported not to work with some displays and the 9200 has been reported to make DVD act really badly.
So my questions are roughly:
Have these issues been resolved? Have you experienced any problems upgrading your old Mac with these cards? Would these cards make a marked difference to my 3D modelling/rendering apps? What graphics card would you recommend?
Thanks in advance.

Does your Mac use a AGP (Advanced Graphics Processor) slot?
Based on the 400MHz you mentioned, is is probably a "Gigabit Ethernet" model, which has a 2X AGP slot.
If not, your only option is the ATI Radeon 9200 128 MB PCI Mac Edition card. I hadn't heard about any DVD playback problems with this card. ATI says it will not work with OS 9 in G4 "Digital Audio" and "Gigabit Ethernet" models.
If you do have AGP you definitely want to use it. The ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition 256MB AGP works with 2X or 4X AGP models. This card will give the best performance.
The ATI Radeon 9600 Mac & PC Edition 256MB is for 4X or 8X AGP slots. Even if you do have a 4X AGP slot, this card may not work in your system because of its power consumption. ATI says it is not compatible with "Digital Audio" and "Quicksilver" models. That leaves the MDD (Mirrored Drive Door) as the only G4 model with 4X AGP that it will work in reliably.

Help with graphic card problem..

I want to upgrade the video card on my hp pavilion dv6 1330 and i dunno which one to buy or what fits.. any suggestions on what might fit or where i could get this info.?

I think it's not possible for u to upgrade u'r graphics chip unless u change the motherboard which u can't change, unless from the parts that are available for u'r laptop
just when u see the part u'll see that there are graphics chip numbers which are not the chip, but the technology behind them, u'll have to search it to find the chips made with them, to see if that's what u have or not.

Need Help with graphics card

Today I was told to buy the graphics card GeForce 9800GT for my compaq SR5000. Whin in turn I needed a bigger power supply. Long story short I am having a problem when I install the video card my computer makes this really loud squeal. Nothing I do is right but I know that it is installed the right way. Do I have the wrong graphics card. Please anyone can you help me.

Unfortuately, Compaq does not post the Power Supply rating on their website for your unit, but when you open the case, their should be a sticker on the power supply which lists the maximum Wattage for the unit. An Nvidia 9800 GT requires at least a 400 Watt Power Supply, so if it is anything less than that, you will have problems.
Other suggestions;
The card should be inserted in the PCI Express slot. Be sure it is fully seated in the slot. If necessary, start the computer and enter the system BIOS settings. You may need to disable the onboard video chipset before the system will "see" your new video card.
As for the noise, make sure you haven't nudged any cables so that they are hitting system case or processor cooling fans.
Good luck!
