WAP4410N bringing LAN to its knees

I have a two WAP4410N’s. WAP#1 is configured as an Access Point with “Allow wireless signal to be repeated by a repeater” checked. WAP#2 is configured as a Wireless WDS Repeater. Both are running firmware 2.0.4.2, with WPA2 Personal. Each gets it’s IP addresses via DHCP.
The APs run fine for weeks, and then suddenly I start getting complaints from users of the wired Ethernet LAN that everything is “frozen”. A quick check shows a massive amount of traffic on the wired LAN coming from the WAP, such that the LAN is virtually unusable. My Ethernet switch shows a large amount of Rx errors on the port for WAP#1.  As soon as I unplug the WAP from the LAN switch, the LAN goes back to normal. I plug the WAP back in, and the network slows to its knees. A simple way to see this visually is setup a ping session from one wired client to another. As soon as I plug in WAP#1, the pings start timing out.
I did some experimenting with this today. With NO wireless clients enabled, and WAP#2 powered down, I plugged in WAP#1 – no problem. However, when I powered up WAP#2, the LAN bogged down again. Unplugged WAP#2, and back to normal. Next I tried to connect to WAP#1 via a web browser, and it wouldn’t bring me to the logon page, even though WAP#1 was responding to ping. I power cycled WAP#1, now everything is working normally again.
In summary – for some inexplicable reason, the WAP4410N is going into a mode where it is sending so much traffic to the wired network that it is slowing it to a crawl. The biggest problem I have with this at the moment is that if it happens when I (the only IT guy) is out of the office, I have no way to stop it. I can’t remote in, or anything, because of the interruption to the LAN.
I would really like to get this figured out and fixed. I replaced WAP#1 with a brand new WAP4410N, and that didn’t help. I don’t have any other ideas.
Thanks

Robert,
WAP#2 isn't attached to anything, it gets its signal from WAP#1.
Yes, I am using one SSID.
Both WAP's are using channel 6.
Both are in Mixed B/G/N mode, as we need to support all these.

  • Weblogic cluster consumes 100% CPU and bringing server to its knees.

    I have BEA Weblogic 10.3.1 clustering as part of FMW 11g clustering. This is two node cluster on "Oracle VM" running OEL 4.0 with 4GB Memory and 4GB swap. Install seems to go with little difficulties like 100%CPU for short period but during the configuration always the Java thread consumes 100%.
    Now I am at a point where shared drive is created (Chapter 5.20 of EDG) for HA FileAdapter and Persistence store. Hitting same 100% CPU problem. Looks like thread locking situation.

    Also noticed the SWAP space is never being used though it has 4GB swap space. It brings the VM to its knees. Thanks in advance for any response.

  • ITunes brings my PC to its knees during song import

    iTunes takes 95-100% of my CPU processing whenever it imports songs from a CD. Basically, it brings the machine to its knees. Also, the import speed is rarely above 2x. I have a Pentium (~400Mhz) with 512Mb of memory. The NEC DVD drive holding the CD is brand new. On my PC at my job, iTunes imports from a CD at 20x, and doesn't bring the machine to a standstill while doing it.
    This cannot just be that my PC at work is faster, altho it is. What else can I do?

    Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

    What kinds of cpu can you put in a 2007 modal imac to bring it to its max
    Thanks

    While it CAN be done I don't know if you'll see enough bang for your buck to make it worthwhile. IMO you'll get a better return by installing an SSD and maxing out the ram. That said I don't have any idea which cpu you could swap for.

  • Skype keeps bringing me the its Chinese website an...

    I opened my account years ago in China. I want to buy some skype credit. I have changed my country to U.S. and currency to USD; however, it still keeps on bringing me to its Chinese website and require me to pay in RMB. Please help with this. Thanks!

    I have a great suggestion: stop giving them money.  I've had the same problem as you, where they seem to lock my account for no reason every month and then I have to spend a lot of time and effort getting it back.  They've had to issue two refunds to me and in BOTH instances they even screwed that up FORCING me to dispute the charge with my bank...
    ... and when I do that?  "Oh, we lock your account any time a charge is disputed".  This last time I got an email saying they had verified a chargeback and my account was fine... less than a month later, two days ago, it was locked again.  Still waiting on them.
    This is, by far, the worst company I have ever dealth with.  They are just horrible in every single way.  When you pay a couple hundred bucks for a fairly simple service, supposedly for a year's subscription, and then you have to constantly fight to keep using it?  No.  That's not going to work.  This is the last time they get any of my money, that's for sure.  

  • I brought OSX to its knees.

    With the CanonScan LIDE 500F. See computer details below. I was running iTunes, iChat, Mail, Word 2004, Entourage 2004, Safari, VPN on my corporate network, OS9 running with TCP/Access for AS400 file transfer download and at the same time I had Mocha X running another TN5250 session connected on the net via Airport Base Station.
    I decided to scan an image. Simple one, black and white. Open up PhotoShop CS, saved the file and all seems well, then all of a sudden the entire system was running slower than a slug on his best day. I didn't force the Mac to shut down, kept selecting each app to quit it and it took 10 minutes at a time to even switch to the running application to be able to quit it. iTunes kept playing on though. Eventually I was able to quit all and restart the computer. It didn't crash, but it sure brought OSX to its knees.

    Also this thing called "CNQL2410_ButtonManager". It loads when I run the scanner and stays there. Even when I quit the Canon Toolbox, it stays up and running. When it whacks the system next time, I'll try to get to the process manager and see if that thing is hogging up CPU cycles.
    85% during idle is just insane, and they think its normal is crazy in my book. I think I'll start using Image Capture for now on. Being thats its an Apple App, I hope it will play friendlier with the OS and not play naughty like the Cannon apps.

  • IMovie is bringing Snow Leopard to its knees

    Well, so far it seems that Snow Leopard is snappy as long as it's not being used much. Once you start using some heavy applications - you'll get more beachball than you've ever seen.
    I've tried to import a movie from my HD camcorder today. The movie is about 10 minutes long. It took about 10 minutes to import it into the latest iMovie, but while importing it, Snow Leopard became basically impossible to use: Safari would freeze up and beachball all the time, flash movies in it wouldn't play at all (or would play like a frame every 5-10 seconds), switching between applications takes half-a-minute.
    So I launched Activity Monitor (which alone took about a minute). iMovie was taking the most memory - about 245 megabytes. At the same time Memory tab would show that there are over 2 gigabytes of "Active" memory (meaning being actively used). When I summed up all used memory from Activity monitor - I got just under 1G. But Activity Monitor is showing that there's also about 1 gigabyte _in swap_ already! And that's on a 4 gigabyte MacBook Pro, with nothing running except for Safari, Mail and iMovie! Where's all the memory gone?
    And that's not just while importing the movie, but also when trying to do anything with it. After awhile iMovie simply freezes completely, so that I have to basically Force-Quit it.
    So far it seems like there's either some severe memory leakage going on, or Snow Leopard dedicates ALL available memory to a disk cache, giving the cache the highest priority, while reducing the amount of memory available to applications.
    Besides that, there always seems to be the "mds" process always doing something - even when there's no other activity in the system. It always takes about 10-20% of CPU time, and almost always working with the hard drive.
    P.S. I've force-quit iMovie about 2 minutes ago, and the icon in Dock was not showing it as a "running" application for about as long, and only now I've got a message from Snow Leopard that iMovie stopped responding... 8-O It's not been running for almost 2 minutes now, why do I get this message now, 2 minutes after it's been killed???

    but now it is going like a fair and is a really good improvement from 06.
    iMovie 09 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses ALL of the image to form the video.
    iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 is a "lossless" combination and my DVD's look perfect!
    iMovie 09 is a wonderful program assuming that you're using it for what it was designed to do, assemble videos to share on the Internet.

  • InDesign CS4 generated PDFs bringing computers to their knees

    I've see no reports of this, but PDFs exported from InDesign CS4 are bringing our G5 iMacs to their knees. My 2.0 Mhz machine with 1.5 Gig of RAM is unable to display the preview in the Finder. The same thing happens on my wife's slightly faster G5 iMac.
    My iMac/Intel has displayed the preview, but it took quite a while.
    This particular PDF (which I've copied to each machine so there's no network issues here) is 7.9 MB and was made with the Press Quality preset.
    Newsflash: After about five minutes, my G5 has finally displayed the preview in the Finder window.
    My wife has been working with smaller PDFs, using a Proof setting that converts to RGB, resamples and compresses the images. With those settings, the preview takes about a minute in her Finder and then another minute when she tries to attach the PDF to mail.
    Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

    Thanks for the feedback. Me too, Sandee. And so had Pam until recently. But we're scratching our heads about what might have changed.
    It looks as though the time is being spent by the Finder making the previews (for every page?). Is there a way for InDesign to make those previews? Does it?
    Grasping at straws.
    By the way, we running Tiger 10.4.11. And the PDFs sent to our Windows-using client have caused him no problem whatsoever.

  • How do I install individual driver of Killer LAN without its Network Management application?

    I found sometimes the Network Management application would conflict with other online application, and in other forum an user provided a pure driver package that can solve the problem.
    Here is the steps:
    First you can download MSI pure Killer LAN driver from this link:
    http://pan.baidu.com/s/1mgwZs96
    Please uninstall old Killer LAN driver package from control panel if you already have the driver in OS.
    Download and extract the RAR file to windows desktop.  Double click “dpinst.exe” to install the killer driver.
    It is normal if you see the message of “No device for update present” in the last step, that’ s because the driver package includes all kinds of killer LAN chip drivers, some don’t exist in your system.
    Just click “Finish” to complete the driver installation.  Restart system and you can start to enjoy the web surfing.
    And if you encounter problem when you uninstall Killer LAN driver, you can use Killer official uninstall utility to completely remove the driver.
    32 bit:
    https://www.qca.qualcomm.com/drivers/KillerCleaner_32bit.exe
    64 bit:
    https://www.qca.qualcomm.com/drivers/KillerCleaner_64bit.exe

    Just install the Killer LAN driver from MSI website, the manager is always installed with the driver.

  • Plugin-container.exe brought my PC to its knees. How to stop this?

    I had absolutely no response from my computer for several minutes. After repeatedly trying to open the task manager, I finally succeeded. I noticed that plugin-container.exe was running at over 50%. I attempted to close all the running processes, but they were hung. I finally had to shut off my PC. One of your background processes should not be hijacking my computer for minutes! Please fix this!!!!!!
    Also, your submit feedback is not working.

    I found the way to stop using plugin-container.exe from somewhere and it works.
    Steps to stop plugin-container.exe process:
    * Open Firefox web browser.
    * Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter key.
    * A warning will appear. Ignore it and press the "I』ll be careful, I promise!" button.
    * In the Filter field type dom.ipc. Six preferences will appear for the filter dom.ipc.
    * Ignore first and last preferences. Toggle (double-click) each of the four remaining preferences to change the value from "true" to "false".
    Explanation: The crash protection feature in Firefox 3.6 is enabled for certain plugins only. The four preferences that we modified here specifies four different out-of-process plugins. They are the the NPAPI test plugin, Adobe Flash, Apple QuickTime (Windows) and Microsoft Silverlight (Windows). These plugins are specified in a separate dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.<filename> preference by default is set to true. We can disable them by changing their value to false. And thus plugin-container.exe will not run. By default the preference dom.ipc.plugins.enabled is already set to "false". So, no need to touch it. The dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs is also not important here as other values are false.

  • 5.1 or 5.1.2 has brought FCP to its knees!

    Last week I received my FCP 5.1 Crossgrade. I installed the Crossgrade and then proceeded to install the 5.1.2 update from Apple's website.
    After installing these updates I have experienced numerous problems. The audio in several projects is out of sync, or 'drifting', whereas they were previously fine, i.e. synced up.
    I am not able to capture. FCP does not read my cameras (FW). And I know that it is not the port, because the 'System Profiler' reads the FW port, and iMovie will capture from it as well.
    Any ideas?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
    (Yes, I now know that you shouldn't install updates in the middle of the project. I am more concerned with the inability to capture than I am the state of the projects. I was going to attempt to remedy the 'drifting' issue by recapturing the source file...but that can't happen...no capturing!)

    Brian,
    Thanks. I followed those steps, but to no avail. I went to 'Library' / 'Receipts' / Quicktime, and then put the Quicktime files with numbers behind them in the Trash.
    I then downloaded QT, and restarted the computer. I then opened FCP, and still not reading the FW port.
    Do I now need to go to the 'Library/Receipts' and delete the new file w/a number behind it?
    Thanks.

  • How to do things Wrong, or the Playbook. A Catharsis.

    Dear Blackberry, I want to talk about your little beautiful tablet: The Playbook.
    This is a Catharsis, so don't take this personal, it isn't.
    I have one, I found it's hardware to be incredible. The OS (2.0) it's also fast and responsive. There are several thing really well done in it: multitasking, gestures, the way to close programs, how to reset, suspend and shutdown, and many, many others.
    But it have a problem, you hate your users. You hate them badly, because you don't know them, or ignore them on purpose (not sure yet).
    Let's talk about what can go wrong with such a good product, because there are a few levels of wrong.
    First wrong: the basic software
    Let's jump to OS 2.0 directly, because thinking on a tablet without a native contacts and mail client gives me the chills.
    Twitter. Amazing service eh? Even you have several accounts, in different languages and all. But you don't offer a free native twitter client. You have one, for ALL your phones, and it's good. Amazingly, you didn't port it to QNX, so we are all stuck with buying one, or use the web interface. Look at your great tablet, now grab the crappiest droid tablet with at least V2.3 of the OS. In one of those two tablets you have twitter out of the box. Hint: not in yours.
    Blackberry Messenger (BBM). Again, amazing service. I think that's the single feature of your products that make you sell about 1M phones in a 40M inhabitants country, mine. Really amazing. So, if you get a Blackberry, you have it, right? No, wrong. Not with the Playbook. And you know what? That makes the Playbook a LOT less appeal to LOTS of people. Apple copied you, and released a messaging application with iOS 5, for idevices only. At the same time them where releasing a tablet with a feature that copied from you (because it's a feature that sells products), you where dumping that feature. I'm wondering if you didn't want to sell tablets, but just show off the fact that you can make one if you want.
    Second wrong: connecting to PCs
    As far as I've used mildly advanced devices (phones, tablets, even a Palm!) they all connected to my computer as a Massive Storage Device. At least, all of them have the option easily available (with the Palm I had to install a tiny, free, third party program). But not the Playbook. Oh no. It must do it in the most obnoxious way an intelligent (and evil) engineer can create. A virtual USB network adapter? Browse through a virtual shared folder? It's hard to imagine the creative session in which such a devilish idea was devised: “Can you do it more difficult and obscure?” “I can make it connect as a virtual USB network device, but that's too far!” “Do it! mwahahahahaha!”
    So, I end up asking myself, Do you hate your users? I see that you are under heavy fire from US tech media, that clearly want you and other players (like Nokia) cold dead. I've read several reviews of your tablet and phones that didn't do justice to neither of them, but you seem to like to offer soft flanks to attacks.
    Some times it looks like as YOU don't believe in YOUR OWN platform as to migrate the most basic software, How do you expect third parties to do it? Make all your software (or the most used or otherwise important) available for the Playbook and other developers will follow, no the other way around.
    Reading forums and blogs I see some people believe that some of your most bizarre decisions, like the connecting to a PC monstrosity, are based in what CTOs or the like told you for security reasons. Aren't CTOs the ones happily jumping into the BYOD bandwagon because it's cheaper? Those are good clients to please while making all the others curse your ancestors, really a top notch strategic decision.
    You know, this era is becoming, in certain aspects, most bottom-up than top-down. Consumer decisions are every year more based in peers than in marketing (with the admirably exception of Apple, which we can discuss other day if you want). And companies aren't in the mood to argue with their userbase, especially if that is more expensive than to let them do what they want (ie. BOYD).
    Your users are the ones that uses your devices, not the ones that buys them. That leaves the CTOs and the like as an small subset of users, not the most important. If enough people in the company complains about crappy software and say that they want to use their drois or idevices for free, your CTO it's not going to argue much. And not having a native, preinstalled Twitter client, or having to go through a pain to simply connect the tablet to a PC are the kind of things about which users complain loudly.
    Times are changing, so should your bussiness model. Be smart and be quick. Don't be Nokia (Who, by the way now had all their flagship phones gone obsolete in a single press conference by Microsoft. Now MS just needs to delay WP8 a few months to bring Nokia to its knees. A smart move by Nokia, huh?).
    Be intelligent Blackberry, sharp your teeth and look what people will want to do with your tablet and phones and make the tablet and phones do that for them. After that, see how you can secure it to CTOs taste, but with user experience fixed in a high standard.
    It's a shame to see a giant and innovative company like you struggle against your own incompetence, or the incompetence of a highly positioned moron, not sure about that. It's the same with Nokia, they can't stop shooting their feet.
    Do yourself a favor, ask users what they want to do with their tablets, and make your tablets do so.
    My apologizes for all the moronic errors with my English, it's not my mother tongue and my proficiency left a lot to be desired.
    Greets,
    Anibal

    First, this forum is a peer to peer support community.  While RIM people do look in now and then they don't offer official support here.  It's possible some may read your post, though.
    I'm going to see if I can address your main concerns:
    Twitter:  There are several apps available in AppWorld.  Personally, I just use the web app supplied and it works just fine.  Additionally, you can download Android apps to your Playbook quite easily.  My favorite place to get them is from here:
    http://goodereader.com/apps/playbook/playbook-andr​oid-apps/
    BBM:  This service requires a BB data plan via a BlackBerry.  I bridge my PlayBook to my BlackBerry and can use BBM quite easily (though Groups are not yet supported.)
    Connecting to PC:  Please download the Desktop Software from www.blackberry.com/desktop
    Hopefully, this helps you some.  I much prefer my PlayBook over my iPad any day.  I have taken the time to research on the Internet and figure out how to convert my own Android apps over to PlayBook and it has given me some extra utilization.  It's not hard to do once you get everything set up.
    John

  • Complete failure of PC app

    This is the story of why I would not recommend the PC app to others and would instead encourage them to use steam, gamestop, or finally actually just going to the store.  It started when I installed the app and a few games.  I realized I was running out of hard drive space on my small SSD (120 GB) and wanted to install games on my other hard drive (2TB).  I contacted live support and they told me geek squad would be able to help me.  The first time I contacted geek squad was to try and figure out how to install games into a new location which lots of applications are able to do (iTunes, gamestop app, steam, etc.) and they told me that due to faulty/bad coding you aren't able to do that.  I was a little frustrated at first but it wasn't awful, and so I uninstalled the app along with the 2 15+ GB games I had.  After I tried to re install it, the PC installer kept insisting that I needed to repair the PC app program and not install it.  I contacted the geek squad a second time and this time they told me the only way to uninstall it was to do add/remove programs, which I had already done.  I did a little googling while on hold and figured out that the app has lots of hidden folders and miscellaneous folders scattered throughout my SSD. By the time the geek squad member got back on the phone I was told I needed to reinstall it and unistall it to fix the problem.  I finished doing that and it just left me where I started and didn't solve anything.  At this point I didn't want to contact them anymore due to lack of knowledge and tried to fix the problem myself by using add/remove programs and deleting all the hidden/miscellaneous files around my SSD.  I downloaded a fresh copy of the installer from the website and, much to my annoyance, it wanted to repair the application instead of reinstall it .  The worse part about it this time was that it would not let me completely reinstall the program, stating that I was missing some files or needed to locate them.  I thought this was odd because I was repairing the program so it would replace missing files and if all the files were missing it would just reinstall a fresh copy.  So now I am left with $130 of unplayable games purchased through this worthless app and would like either a refund, or hard copies of the games I tried to download to avoid this god-awful program.

    This program is indeed one of the most poorly written pieces of software I've used.
    I know this topic is old, but hopefully this will help a few people:
    The BBY pc app installer contains an MSI (Windows Installer) package that is the cause of the issue the OP describes. The uninstaller leaves the Windows Installer package behind, and subsequent installs attempt to repair the existing package since it was never removed.
    BBY PC App can be fully removed (I've done it for several friends), but it is a complex process. The directions below assume you have an understanding of Windows Explorer.
    These directions are provided as-is. Use them at your own risk.They worked for me, but there's no guarantee they'll work for you.
    Here's how to remove it (I wrote these directions based upon BBY pc app v3.5.1.2 from Jan 23, 2012):
    1. Open Add/Remove Programs (Programs and Features on Vista/7), and remove pc app as you would normally. You may  also want to uninstall any software downloaded through PC app.
    2. Press Win+R to open Run. Type regedit and click OK. (Editing the registry incorrectly can crash your PC and require you to reinstall Windows. Follow these steps carefully).
    3. On the left side, click the + next to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry key to open it. Then repeat to open SOFTWARE, Microsoft, Windows, CurrentVersion, and finally Uninstall.
    4. Click on the first folder listed under Uninstall on the left. Look on the right side for the entry named DisplayName, and check to see if the Data is Best Buy PC App. If it is not, select the next folder under Uninstall. Continue to work down the list until you find a folder that has a DisplayName of Best Buy PC App, or until you reach the end of the list.
    If you reach the end of the list without finding an entry for best buy pc app, skip to step 8.
    5. Write down the name of the folder that contains the Displayname of best buy pc app (the folder name will look something like {FBBC4667-2521-4E78-B1BD-8706F774549B}, numbers and letters might be different ). Close the Registry Editor.
    6. Press Win+R, then type the following: msiexec /i<name> SRCDIR=C:\windows\installer (replace <name> with the folder name you wrote down in step 5.) Note that there is NO SPACE between the /i and the <name>
    An example that removes 3.5.1.2 is msiexec /i{FBBC4667-2521-4E78-B1BD-8706F774549B} SRCDIR=C:\windows\installer
    7. An install wizard with no graphics should appear. If you receive an error or the installer for a different program opens, double check the name of the folder from step 4. Click Next, then click the blank square next to Remove. Confirm the removal.
    8. Show hidden files if they are not already shown. To do this, open Control Panel, then select Folder Options. Select the View tab, then choose "Show Hidden Files and Folders" in the list. Click OK and close Control Panel.
    Windows 7 users may not see Folder Options in control panel. If this is the case, click "Category" in the upper right corner, and select "Small Icons".
    9.
    Windows XP users: Press Win+R, then type %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data Click OK
    Windows Vista/7 users: Press Win+R, then type C:\ProgramData Click OK
    9. In the window that opens, look for a best buy pc app folder. If it exists, delete the entire folder.
    10. Then, look for a folder whose name starts with a curly brace (" { " symbol). If one exists, open it. Verify that best buy pc app setup.exe is inside. If it is, delete the entire folder. Close the window.
    11. Navigate to C:\Program Files in Windows explorer. If a best buy pc app folder exists, delete it. (Odds are good that this folder will not be there. The uninstall usually removes it).
    12. Press Win+R again, this time type the following and click OK:
    If you have Windows XP: %userprofile%\Application Data
    If you have Windows Vista or 7: %userprofile%\AppData
    13. In the window that opens, look for a best buy pc app folder. If it exists, delete the entire folder. Close the window.
    12. Restart your computer.

  • Video playback on Adobe Premiere Elements 8 no longer works

    Windows 7 Professional 64 bit OS
    Lenovo T420
    i5 Second Gen Proc
    8GB RAM
    Premiere Elements 8.0
    Latest Version Update and Driver Update Installed
    Majoirty of video pulled from Flip Camera
    What other information is necessary?
    I've been working on a video for the last couple of months, and have about 15 minutes of footage.  Recently when I opened up the project to work on the last 25% the playback feature stopped working (no sound or audio when play is pressed).  I noticed that background rendering was disabled so I re-enabled it, but I am still facing the same problem.  I've saved my video in several formats including AVI in hopes that I will be able to finish it at a later date.  I am only slightly technical, so please don't waste your time correcting me (I'm sure I've made several mistakes and provided information that is not pertainent to the issue at hand)!  Just looking for help, so I can finish my project.
    Thank you in advance!

    Great news, and actually much better than I had expected - kudos to Lenovo!
    Video (and audio) drivers are very fragile things. In regular computing, they are only moderately important, but with programs, like PrE, 3D and CAD apps., the program must interface very deeply with the video driver, and it must be stout. There are many things that can "break" the video driver, and a common one is OS updates. Most Windows OS's are still set on the default update options - fully automatic. This takes place behind the scenes, and the user is seldom aware that the OS has been updated at all. Suddenly, a program like PrE stops working correctly, while most other programs seem to be just fine. Immediately, the user looks to PrE, which is **** just what it did before the OS update - running perfectly fine, but between the program and the Video sub-system, that driver has broken, so things go wrong.
    One workaround is to use a System Restore Point, from before the OS update that broke the driver, BUT OS updates are a very, very good thing. Catch-22, if one cannot install an updated driver, that works well with the update status of the OS.
    Glad that you found a better solution - new and improved video driver. While you are at it, you might want to check for a new audio driver too, as they are just as fragile, and can bring PrE to its knees.
    Good luck,

  • The ability of the new 2014 Mac Pro to run older legacy OSX versions?

    Being a video editor, I will probably be in the market to buy the new Mac Pro when it's released into the marketplace (which should be very soon).  
    So my question is...I usually retain several different startup drives, with different versions of OSX and different versions of editing software.   Let's say I have the new Mac Pro, the 2014 edition, but rather than edit a new project in Mavericks and FCPX...I find that I need to go back to a legacy version of OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard and FCP 7.   And I have that on a bootable external drive.    And the key question is...would anyone know if I could boot up on that using the new Mac Pro hardware?
    My current Mac Pro is an older one, 1.1, and I have no difficulty in restarting and booting up from legacy drives containing older versions of the OSX.   I'm hoping the same may be true of the new one.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated...thanks, John

    your   1,1 as a backup, test system, safety net would be excellent. And if you have not already, some are very happy with cheap 53xx upgrades to 8-core and some other touches to keep it running smoothly.
    I wish there was a bootable PCIe 6G card, not for booting but better support for PCIe 1.x SSD controllers.
    I feel like I am hitting some bandwidth walls lately - seems odd but my i7 2.66 920 PC running 7 or 8.1 feels smoother and better in comparison to Lion 10.7.5  Lion use to feel perfectly fine, but  background tasks, especially TimeMachine and CCC can seemingly bring  it to its knees - slow web page loading for one thing. 
    If  you can afford to keep the 1,1 and make some improvements to it, do so though. It's latest 7 yrs and may have a couple more years of life left in it.
