MSI 9800pro and Dell 2001FP

It's just great combo anyone looking for a great LCD for gaming you should give
the Dell 2001FP 20" lcd a try I have one and so far its all I hoped for nice clear text rich colors I use to use a Mitsub 21" crt I would never go back to a crt.
I use this 2001fp mostly for gaming and web surfing I yet to see any ghosting if there is any at all it must not even be enough to notice most peeps that have this say the same thing. And it scales nice at 1280x1024 which I runs most of my game some I do at 1600x12000 with no AA and 8 AF. I tend to use more AF than AA any ways.Oh this LCD has plenty of hook ups I have my Xbox hooked up to it
S-video and it looks good . it also has PIP, and came with both cables DVI and VGA I use it DVI for better pic.

what slot would that be? I use to have in slot 3 down from the agp slot and I dont think it was irq5 it was sharing some NEC usb stuff? Here I the error Im getting with doom3
I have done fresh install of XP PRO and sp1 using the ATI Cata 4.8 nothing overclocked

PB Al 15" won't display to Dell 2001FP via DVI

After hooking up a Dell 2001FP display to my PowerBook Al 1.5Ghz/15" via DVI, the external display displays nothing. The Mac senses the display per Monitors system preference and Apple System Profiler but nothing is output to the display. I'm using Dell's bundled DVI cable (which appears to be a DVI-D single link, per http://www.comsol.com.au/dvi.asp). DVI works just fine via PB G4 1.5Ghz/12".
As a workaround, the VGA is working fine from the PowerBook to this display. I'd really, really much rather use DVI. Is there any way to get this PB Al 15" to work via DVI to the Dell 2001FP? Possibly via some different kind of cable?
Scanning the Apple forums didn't get me a direct answer. I vaguely remember something unique about the 15" DVI with certain third party configurations.
PB G4 1.5Ghz/15" Mac OS X (10.4.6) Dell 2001FP

Try resetting your NVRAM…
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Another thing to try is to change the ends of the DVI-D cable. I too am using the included cable that came with my Dell display and it works just dandy. Obviously if it works with your 12" PowerBook then the problem is with the 15" PowerBook.
It is possible that the 15" is trying to display at a setting that your display can't handle. What you can do is to open the Displays System Preference, click on the Gather Displays button and try different settings. Make sure you start at a 60Hz refresh rate.
To be honest it's a bit weird that you're having a problem because it, as I'm sure you're aware, should just work.

MSI GX70 and SSD causing boot loop

Hi,
I've bought the MSI GX70 laptop 2 weeks ago which suits my needs pretty well.
It does seem to have some issues with SSD, not sure if they are known issues yet...
Powering up the laptop results in a boot loop 9 out of the 10 times. As soon as it passes the POST it reboots instead of starting Windows.
If I remove the SSD from the second slot (the only one that is available next to the existing HD) it boots from the stock HD fine, no issues.
As soon as I install the SSD again, it's starting to loop again.
So I thought, let's replace the stock HD with the SSD (switch connectors) but it doesn't even recognize the SSD disk as bootable device if I do so.
I'm sure the boot order and settings are fine, played around with them to be sure.
There is a workaround to get the system started.
While the laptop is in the boot loop (starting up, showing the MSI logo and doing that over and over again) you have to keep pressing the DEL button to enter the bios, hit escape to quit the bios once you're in without changing and saving anything and it boots up Windows fine.
The SSD is a PNY XLR8 120gb
I'm sure the HD is fine because it came out of the previous laptop without issues.
Any thought on the above?
Thanks
/Nick

I guess my real question here is are you 100% certain that at this very second, the SSD is in fact 100% ok? I'm only asking as after reading a few reviews, almost 50% of them (granted, they are reviews, and people usually really only review things when they are bad...) were showing that they had to return this very SSD because it went bad.
That's really the only thing that comes to mind. This uses the very common Sandforce chipset that quite a few SSD's have and work perfectly fine with. So I can't really comment more than that.

Strange dual monitor behavior: mac pro + leopard + x1900xt + 2 dell 2001FPs

I recently purchased a mac pro dual quad core with radeon x1900xt graphics card. Updated to 10.5.1. I have a dual monitor setup: 2 Dell 2001FPs connected to the x1900xt with dual-link DVI cables.
Here's the problem:
I want to use both monitors at their optimal resolution (1600x1200). I can get one monitor to run at 1600x1200 by changing the display preferences, but when I change the secondary monitor to something above 1280x1024, it goes dark, then doesn't come back on (the green light remains on, however). Occasionally while this is happening I will get a message on the black monitor telling me the computer is asleep. It obviously is not since I can see it is awake on the operating screen.
Here's where it gets weird:
I just found out that if I drag the mouse over into the darkened screen and then click a couple times, the monitor comes alive at the desired 1600x1200 resolution! If I restart from there, I get the primary monitor to come up upon startup, but I have to change the secondary monitor back down to 1280x1024, then back up to 1600x1200, then do the mystery clicking with the mouse!
The problem occurs no matter which monitor is primary and no matter which slot is being used on the graphics card.
To me this sounds like a driver problem, but I'm posting in the Mac Pro forum to see if any others have purchased the same configuration and have similar issues.

It appears I have solved my problem...for the time being.
1. rechecked all connections, replaced cable on secondary monitor with new (no change in behavior)
2. reviewed system log and saw this junk:

The message above occurred each time I booted the mac pro and I think also when I changed resolutions on the monitors. This appeared to me to be a call to the specialized Apple Display extensions and preferences, not for non-apple displays.
Resolution:
I went into /System/Library/MonitorPanels/ and copied the AppleDisplay folder to the desktop and renamed it to XXXX.old. I deleted the AppleDisplay folder from its previous directory (I left behind the Arrange.monitorPanel, Display.monitorPanel, Profile.monitorPanel and VGADisplay.monitorPanel files). I then rebooted. No problems since. I can change resolutions all I want and my secondary monitor kicks right in, never staying black.
Note: this seems to work for me because I am using Dell monitors on the mac pro with the x1900xt graphics card. I wouldn't do this if you have monitor trouble, especially if you have an Apple Display, as it seems these files are important for those.

MDT 2013, Deploying Windows 8.1 on Surface and Dell Venue Tablets

I'm having numerous issues with Capturing Images and Deploying to Windows 8.1 Tablets. We are currently using Surface Pro 1, 2, and Dell Venue 11 Pro tablets. I am using a Windows Server 2012 computer with MDT 2013 installed. I can't get the tablets
to:
1-sysprep and capture using MDT 2013
2-Deploy a Task Sequence with a WIM and other applications attached. (I've tried using the simple standard task seq option with no luck)
3-I found another way to get a WIM (using imagex) but when i deploy task sequence it ignores my selection of applications to install outside the WIM and only installs the WIM (WIM 14gb = Win 8.1 Ent, Office 2013 x32, MS Updates)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Everything is being performed within the LAN and with USB 2.0 thumbdrives for media.

Hi altimav8,
Are you trying to find out how to deploy Surface Pro method? Before capture the Surface pro image please download the latest drivers for the surface and made sure that they
were the only drivers that were going to be deployed. There have a specific MDT deploy support forum more about the MDT deploy related issue you can ask in MDT support forum.

Macbook (late 08) 13.3" -- miniDV to DVI adapter and Dell 24" 2405 FSP Flat

All
Just purchased a Macbook 13.3" and bought the miniDV to DVI adapter for my 24" Dell 2405 FSP. For whatever reason, I cannot get system prefs to "detect display".
I am not sure if the cable is broken out of package or there is a problem with this adapter in general. I am trying to use the cable to view OS/X and XP Home via Bootcamp on large screen while Macbook is in clamshell (closed) mode.
Seems like a lot of people are having issues but I don't know what to do. It seems the cables from Apple vary by model and worse, appear to be lower quality than most would expect. Any thoughts on commands or steps to try and diagnose. Or should I buy the miniDV to VGA adapter for the Dell flatscreen?

Update to this issue.
1. Friend brought his Macbook Pro 17" with full DVI adapter to my Dell 2405 FPW -- he has same 24" flatscreen. It works -- so monitor is fine.
2. I went to Apple Store and REPLACED miniDV to DVI adapter to my monitor. No response. Not registering at all. But when friend hooked his Macbook with adapter, the screen came on.
Assumptions:
1. Macbook 13.3" aluminum port is damaged -- will go to Apple to confirm
2. Odds of two adapter cables not working - highly slim (got from two different stores if we want to shake the odds a bit more based on batch shipments
It appears that the port is NOT compatible with this monitor OR the cable quality is so bad that I have to go through a bunch of them.
Last option - miniDV to VGA adapter to my Dell monitor to see if that works. But it is one of two options -- from my perspective:
1. Monitor/port incompatibility
2. Bad cables
I even tried XP Home Edition under Bootcamp with the adapter and monitor did not display.
What's disappointing in all of this is Apple tech support told me to download "drivers" from Dell's site -- and puzzled, I asked if Dell was supporting Mac computers because OS/X did not have drivers for this monitor and Dell only has it themselves - they emailed me download links (which is convenient) but it was clear that she doesn't know what she was doing -- the links were XP and Vista only.
Sigh...Rev A Macbook. Will probably need Apple to work on this issue.

Setting up new printer with MacBook Pro AND Dell?

Need a printer, want an AIO, any work better than others with MacBook and Dell? Purchased a HP Officejet 6500A Plus, any problems using both systems togehter? Also, should I set up the Dell first then the Mac, or viceversa?

Thanks for the help, I'm definitely getting there
I changed the settings as you've described and can now print from my MBP. The 3 Dell laptops are another matter. Would you have any idea what the IP address of the printer would be? Or the AirPort Extreme? I'm following this tutorial:
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1004.html
without much success but I'm really guessing at the IP address. I've tried 192.168.1.1 (my router) and 192.168.1.101 (the IPv4 address) with no luck. I suspect it's the IP address that's the problem ...
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Jay

Can I use Dell R900 as primary and Dell PE6850 Server

I want to configure Rac on Oracle 10g, as i also want to configured oracle dataguard.
My question is "Can i use Dell R900 as Primary database and Dell PE6850"

http://youngcow.net/doc/oracle10g/server.102/b14239/standby.htm#sthref233

HT2305 I downloaded, and have two .msi files and one setupadmin.exe file. I click the latter and nothing happens?

I downloaded 2 updates (download only), and there's two .msi files and one setupadmin.exe file. I click the latter and nothing happens? How am I meant to do install these updates?

Sorry I forgot to mention I was doing this on a PC with Vista (the heading was Windows so I didn't bother to mention this). Anyway by trial and error I found that you can click on the .msi files to install them. The files were downlads of updates to iTunes and iCloud Control Panel.

CS4 and Dell Latitude D820

CS4 and Dell Latitude D820
Just wondering if anyone has the same Laptop model as myself and is running Photoshop CS4 on it with no problems?
With so much being said about differing configurations playing a part in CS4s performance, and with laptops offering perhaps the most uniformity in terms of hardware makeup across any two units, I thought it might be illuminating if we could find two systems of the same model and specs where one (i.e mine) has serious problems with Photoshop v11 and one (somewhere among you fine folk) that does not?
Obviously manufacture batch numbers could vary but, apart from that, Im thinking any hardware variables here should be at their most minimal? We could then begin to establish (perhaps) what other than hardware it might be that sees one system working fine and the other not?
For problems experienced on my Laptop system please System Setup 4 on
this page.
Would be interested to hear from any Latitude D820 users who are not experiencing these problems.

Re the Display driver.
I contacted both nVidia and Dell. Nvidia refers me to Dell as sole provider of driver.
Email reply from Dell tech support (on my asking for any news on new driver):
"I would like to bring it under your notice that I do not have sufficient update to provide you on the shortly available Drivers of new version".
I did speak with a Dell engineer who tells me: Dell can only package and release any new driver as and when updated drivers are provided by Nvidia.

Well basically its not the problem with the Routers firmware. It might be due higher level of security which you have set on your Router or it might be your Intel Pro Wireless is unable to communicate with your Router. In this case you need to lower down the security on your router to WEP or WPA Persoanl . If you have already lower down the security on your Router then it might be your Intel Pro Utility which is unable to communicate with your wireless network. In this case you need to disable Intel Pro wireless utility on your Computer and use Default Windows XP configuration utility to connect to your wireless network.
Opene Intel Pro-Set wireless utility on your Computer, On the top you need to click on "Tools" tab and below you will find the Option "Use Windows to Manage WiFi" or "Use Microsoft Client" and click on Yes. So it will disable the Intel Utility.
Now in the system try Locate your "Wireless Network Connection" icon, right click on it and select "View Available Wireless Network" , locate your wireless network, input the security and click on connect. Now check if you are able to go online.

MacBook Pro and Dell AIO 948 Printer!

Hi,
I have a new MacBook Pro and I am trying to connect it to my Dell AIO 948 printer. However, I know Mac and Dell are not compatible and I know I have to download some sort of compatible software, but I have no idea where to begin with that! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, I need to get this connected as soon as possible! I am a college student and I already have homework that needs to be printed!
Thank you in advanced!

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

G5 Quad (Geforce 6600) and Dell 2405fpw don't work together

I purchased both (G5 Quad (Geforce 6600) and Dell 2405fpw) brand-new a few days ago.
When I connect the display using the supplied DVI->VGA cable, the display works. When I connect them using (about any type of) DVI-D cable, I get no picture. The dell screen just stays in stand-by mode. BUT it gets detected (I can see this when I connect a second screen). And the screen show a test image when I disconnect it from the mac, so there's at least SOMETHING happening...
What is wrong here?
I am first-time Mac user and on edge to go to the PC/Unix world again, without ever looking back to apple-land, because of this, as it is SERIOUSLY SCREWING UP christmas for us this year.
Thanks for your help.

Actually ``detect displays'' found the screen, that was what I meant in my first post.
The issue is kinda solved now, the DVI-Port of the ``brand-new'' display, which was delivered directly from the Dell factory in Limerick, is non-functional.
I tried it with a different setup (PC) and see the same symptoms, which lead me to this conclusion. I will get a full refund and possibly buy a 3007WFP if the price is decent.
It should work with a Geforce 6600 - even at 2560x1600.
Thanks,
Robert

MSI Drivers and Utilities DVD won't work

Hello, I've just purchased the parts to construct an entirely new computer, and I've chosen MSI Z77A-G41 motherboard. I put everything together, and I loaded Win XP on, and my plan is to upgrade to Win 8 during their special offer. I needed to go into Setup and change the SATA mode from AHCI to IDE, so that I could install XP. Once I had XP up and running, I inserted the MSI Drivers and Utilities DVD to load all of the drivers. However, when I put the disc in, it auto-runs, the driver/utility screen is shown 'blacked out' and I immediately receive a Windows error message: "DVD Setup Application" error. I went in through Windows Explorer to the programs on the DVD, and found DVD setup. By trying to run this from within Explorer, it takes me to the same error as when I auto-run.
The only thing I can think of is that I need to change something else in Setup, to run Win XP because it's so old? I'm pretty sure that there's nothing wrong with the new DVD burner, because I've used it to install XP, and also to extract and install Service Pack 2 and 3 (which I downloaded on another computer and transferred on a CD). If I knew exactly what needed to be installed from the MSI DVD, I could try doing it from within Windows Explorer. But, I'd still like to figure out what the Setup Application error message is telling me.
Any helpful suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

A further note before I head off to bed. I was able to install Win XP service packs 2 and 3 using my new burner, and I've activated with Microsoft and downloaded and installed 117 updates. I have now used this same DVD burner that won't recognize or work with the MSI driver/utilities DVD, to install all of the drivers for my video card---that DVD auto-ran just fine. So, after doing some searches on Google about the "DVD Setup Application" error, not a lot of help but most people say that if another DVD will spin up and load things OK---it must be the fault of the DVD that won't load. In other words, I don't think that there's a problem with anything in the Setup on the motherboard.
So, if anyone has any further ideas, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm going to contact MSI tomorrow and see about a replacement DVD. Thanks.
