6800 GT won't run smoothly with sata hd's installed

I was just wondering if any one else has had this problem. My BFG 6800 GT freezes up for 5-10 seconds at a time when I try to run games or benchmarks. I am able to get it to run smoothly when I remove my sata hd's. Also if I put a different video card in and leave the sata's it will run with out problems. Keep in mind that these parts were all running just fine together on an XP Nforce2 board. They also work just fine on a K8t800 pro board that I am using now. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate the help.

hmm no overclock.....
when you say you tried higher voltage do you mean AGP voltage or did you mod the vidcard bios?
you could try 2d/3d clocks set the same
update vga bios
heat/case cooling
heres a thread worth a look

Flash won't run smoothly

Hi, I've created a short into flash for a website-to-be but
it pauses and doesn't run smooth when uploaded to the site. The
flash movie is only 600 kb. What can I do to fix this?

Hi Hanna,
The Save and Compact is an option right under the Save
option. It removes any memory of changes made and objects that no
longer exist. But if everything in that piece is a jpeg, that's not
likely to change it much.
Based on the visual quality of the jpegs, I'd say they are
probably high KB pieces... GIF's would be more appropriate and
would probably provide some file size savings. jpgs are better for
images with lots of colors and shades. GIFs are better for images
with limited colors and large color areas like in that piece.
Is the 600KB all involved with just that one scene? If so, I
personally would redraw it all in Flash, just for the KB savings,
but that's me. As I said, the amount of graphics there would amount
to next to nothing as Flash drawn graphics.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 won't run, problem with Application Manager

I've now got three Adobo Photoshop CS products on my MacBook Pro, the latest is CS6 which won't run.
I own Photoshop CS3, I just happen to install the CS5.x suite today, which runs during the trial period (30 day, today is day #1).
I then see that PSCS6 is out so I install that and get an error dialog.
Adobe Photoshop CS6
Adobe Application Manager, required to verify your license, is missing or damaged.
Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager.
I go to that URL, run the new application manager and get that same dialog box when I try to run CS6.
When I did the CS6b install it asked for my Adobe ID/password and I entered that and the install completed. So I'm not sure what's going on.

Hi, Using OSX Lion...was getting the same AAM errors.
I hope my "fix" is of help:
During one installation attempt I noticed that it was using an Adobe Application Manager here:
~User/Applications/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/core/Adobe Application Manager
It is version 6.0.236.0 and the installer deletes it after the install. The download page only has version 2.
So during my last install attempt, I grabbed a copy of that OOBE directory -- to catch the support files -- before deletion.
Did not work in user Applications folder, but when I copied it in the location of AAM 2, it works.
The full location is as follows (I renamed the original OOBE folder as a back-up):
HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/core/Adobe Application Manager
Authorization works, and software update seems to...however, uninstall can't use this method.

KT3 Ultra2-R won't run 133FSB with XP2000+

Hi there!
I have just bought my self a MSI KT3 Ultra2-R mobo, a TwinMOS 512mb PC333 cas2 ram and a XP2000+ CPU with a GlacialTech HSF (certified for XP2600+)
When everything is in deafult in the bios, my fsb runs at 100mhz. When pumping it up to 133mhz my screen won't initialize and there are no beeps on startup. I have a 350W Enermax PSU that I know works!
Any suggestions to what I can do? Thanks...

Getting rid of the shim did the trick. Now I "only" have a stop at the initialisation of the HD controller. I've read some threads on that problem here, so I think I will be OK very soon .
Thanks all!

Facebook games 'FarmTown' & 'FarmVille' won't run. Flash 10 will not install and displays "incompatibility" with FFox

The games Farm Town and FarmVille partially load on Facebook. The message to update Flash Player is displayed. I clicked to update Flash player, but it would not install. A message displayed saying Flash 10 is incompatible with FireFox and would not install until FireFox was shut down.

I have Windows XP.
In regards to my blank white page, the flash is now working again (Whether I needed to restart again or if it was a site thing).
And I'm not sure how to go about changing my display resolution with the browser, or know where to find it for that matter. Of course there's the one you can find in the control panel/display for the whole computer in general, but that doesn't do anything except make everything larger (Since I originally had it on the highest: 1024 x 768 pixels) and doesn't change the resize compatability for flash player at all.
Above is a screen shot of the jigsaw site I use (which is not the worst game resizing issue I've run into.) On the left side of the flash window, there are options to choose during game play, and the last option gets cut in half b/c the window won't resize correctly. And I haven't any idea if there are more options below it or not.
Below is one of the worst resizing issues I HAVE run into. I don't play farmville anymore since this problem, among it being boring, makes it literally impossible to play the game. I brought up the marketplace option since it's the most drastic. This is all of the flash game window, which would resize anything normally on my other computers, but the images get cut off along the sides with this one. I have tried playing this game on its home site, hoping that facebook was the problem, but it's the same issue there as well.

Task Scheduler Won't Run Task With Idle Condition

When I schedule a task to run Disk Cleanup with a one minute idle condition the task does does not run successfully and provides the following run result.
The Task Scheduler service has asked the task to run. (0x41325)
If I manually run the task or remove the idle condition the task runs and completes successfully.
Why won't the task start with an idle condition?

Hi,
I noticed that you set the idle time shorter than the waiting for idle time. In my opinion, we should set the idle time longer than the waiting for idle time if we schedule a task running during the idle contidion. As the documents described, the Task Scheduler service will verify that the computer is in an idle state every 15 minutes. If a task is set to start only if the computer is idle for 30 minutes, and the task waits for the computer to be idle for 10 minutes, then the task will launch in 5 minutes only if the computer has been idle for 25 minutes prior to the time the trigger was activated. The task will not start if the computer enters an idle state 5 minutes after the trigger is activated. For more information, please refer to Task Idle Conditions.
Best Regards

IMAC with windows XP on it as well Tiger, won't run mac after 10.4.8 instal

My wifes IMAC, which we also partioned and installed windows XP, will not allow us to restart the Mac side. This just started this morning after she installed the upgrade from 10.4.7 to 10.4.8. When you restart the computer and hold down the ALT key you will get the option of going into either the mac side or the windows side. Now when we select the MAC side we get an error message telling us to hold down the power key to reboot the computer. This ends up doing nothing to fix the problem. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

Michael, my guess is that you've installed a third party utility to modify the OS in some way, and it's broken. We've seen, for example, people who installed utilities that were supposed to improve network operation unable to get reliable network connections as a result.
There's a utility that can remove unnecessary components from the OS. Unless used with caution, it can kill Rosetta.
Haxies can break after an OS update. That's not Apple's fault, and it's a reason I don't install haxies such as Shape Shifter, for example.
Does this happen with other PPC applications that have to run under Rosetta?
What to do: If you've installed third party utilities that modify OS functions, remove them one at a time and restart. Try Entourage after each restart.
BTW I don't suspect smcFanControl as the culprit.

K3T Ultra 2 won't run 166MHz with PC3000

Hi guys, well I'm hitting a dead wall trying to overclock...and I figured I'd see if anyone can give me any ideas.
I have been using a AGIOA Y 1600+ with PC2100 and it ran great at 12.5x150 with a load temp of 39C.
Well, I just got in some Muskin PC3000. I can't run 166 no matter what the multiplier, even at 8x166...even at 1.85Vcore and 2.8dimm Voltage.
Any ideas?? Is my 1/5th divisor not kicking in? The computer will post but windows will not boot, it either freezes at the loading "logo" screen, or reboots.
Also Memory timings aren't making a difference either aggressive or relaxed
Thanks for the help

350Watt PS, and the 5v line looks great, stays right a 5v and the other lines look good as well.
Also I was able to get 160, but using Prime 95 to test stability I get an error within about 15 secs...but I'm kinda thinking that is due to the busses being underclocked

Large Animation File in Timeline won't run smoothly

Ok.... so I have a large animation clip that runs perfectly on the viewer, but when I play it in a sequence with all the matched settings, it fails on me. it starts runnign with a lot of difficulty. Making it impossible to work with.
The clip format is:
size: 2GB
Frame size: 1920x1080
codec: Animation
I have several clip with these settings that I need to work with, and the only way i found to be able to work with them is by compressing them into a AppleProRes 422 (HQ) codec. I made a quick test using the new codec and it work perfectly.
BUT, I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY OTHER EASIER WAY to work with these files using the original format. I have over a 100 files to edit and not a lot of time to sit down and convert them all.
Is the ProRes422 (HQ) my only solution? Is the ProRes422 (HQ) my best solution?
I have a Mac Pro 2x2.4 Ghz Intel Xeon , with a 6 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC memory and a ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics card. With FCP7 running.
I will greatly aprecciate your advice on this one!

Animation codec is not an editing codec. It has a HUGE data rate. So huge that playback is impossible. Even if you had a VERY fast drive RAID, it isn't the best solution. The Animation codec is designed to be a lossless delivery codec, but when the editor receives the file, they need to convert to an editing codec specific to their machine. IN your case, ProRes.
Yes, Converting to ProRes or ProRes HQ is your best option.

Is the new MacPro running smoothly with Photoshop?

My current Mac is way too slow, old, etc. to handle the large files that I'm working on. The new MacPro would be great but are there major kinks and glitches that still need to get ironed out?
Thank you!

I don't have a new Mac Pro, but Adobe appears to be working with them and fixing what they find.
In Photoshop 14.2 Adobe enabled taking full advantage of the FirePro GPU in the new Mac Pro (but not both GPUs at the same time, yet).
In Photoshop 14.2.1 Adobe fixed a stability bug related to the Camera Shake Reduction filter on the new Mac Pro.
So it looks like a couple of new Mac Pro issues have already been taken care of.

1,1 running Lion with XP Boot (re-install and what should i use for recovery disk or usb stick)?

i am trying to give my 1,1 mac pro a little love and would like to keep this machine running lion. i also have a boot camp installation of XP on it.
1. can anyone give me instructions on how/whether i can basically do a fresh install of Lion on this machine and minimize the system so it is not cluttered up with all my previous software etc, etc while still maintaining the original XP boot camp partition which i really need to have?
2. can anyone clarify for me what i should have on hand /if/ i need to boot into recovery mode or some other safe boot mode? i recently ran into an issue where i may have had to use the old Disk Utility format function and there was a reference to booting using the DVD install disks. however i am really confused as to what i should have on hand. ALSO the last time i had to do something on this machine i was told to boot into the Recovery Partition and it appears for some reason (perhaps because i had a "non-standard" windows 7 boot camp installation on the drive at the time??) that there was no recovery partition created when i upgraded to Lion.
- /anyway/ i am finding that i have the two ORIGINAL install disks for the mac pro on hand, a Max OS X Leopard and a mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD on hand but i am thinking that i should be creating some kind of USB stick similar to the one i created with yosemite? actually, i am not even sure what this USB stick for yosemite is for but i guess i can use it to boot into safe mode or something?
THANKS for any help as i'd like to get this business under control a little better in case i have an issue.
i'd also like to install Lion so that there is a Recovery Partition if possible and i think this may be possible if i don't have the windows 7 partition in the machine when i do a fresh install. any help would be great. thanks.

You have to go out of your way to build the Installer Disk yourself. But this tool makes it easy, and this site contains instructions:
http://diskmakerx.com
the bootable installer is basically to re-install the OS if i have to
Yes.
the recovery partition is somehow for fixing a problem
Recovery can go and get you the software and re-download it and start the Install, and allows the use of Disk Utility and can reset passwords.
or is there some overlap?
Yes. Both give you access to the Utilities that used to be on the Installer DVD. Disk Utility to Repair or initialize and a few other tools that can allow you to set up to install on an otherwise-bare disk or change your password.
is "Safe Mode" something completely different
Safe Mode is a way to start the fully-Installed Operating System in a special way. It first does one pass of Disk Utility (Repair Disk) against the Boot Drive. [Normally this would require booting from a different drive to make repairs.] Then it loads a minimal set of Apple-only kernel extensions, and uses a one-size-fits-all screen resolution. Then it demands your Username and password to proceed.
From there you can fix settings, use the Finder to add or delete things, and check operation with minimal extensions versus all your daily-use extensions. Very helpful for debugging extension conflicts and graphics settings problems, and fixing damaged settings. The next Restart builds a new extensions cache.

IBook G4 1.33gh 1.5gb won't run Leopard 10.5.6 after install by retail DVD

I have a 12" iBook G4 1.33gh 1.5gb (last PPC version) that was running Tiger 10.4.11 on 2 partitions.
I wiped Tiger off partition 2, and tried to install Leopard 10.5.6 using a retail DVD.
But after the software loads, and goes to re-boot to the new system set up, all I get is an empty blue screen.
I tried installing 3 times from the Leopard DVD, only to get the same result.
The blue screen isn't a computer problem as I can reboot back to Tiger on partition 1 with no issues.
Anyone know why this is?

I didn't see anything that relates, unless I'm misunderstanding.
The notes suggest doing an archive and replace if the install fails. But isn't an archive and replace really like a clean install, but one that saves your older elements should you want them?
In my case I'm not trying to install Leopard over an older Tiger. I just want to install it clean on an empty partition.

Is my MacBook (mid 2010) with an Intel Core 2 Duo (2.4 GHZ) with 2GB of Ram going to run smoothly when I purchase OS X Lion?

I dont know if a 2.4 GHZ Core 2 duo with 2GB of RAM and a mid 2010 model of my Macbook will run smoothly with Mac OS X Lion. Can anybody help make my decision either i should upgrade from snow leopard to lion?

My advice... DO NOT BUY.... otherwise you will be like me... frustrated and horrified.... I am suffering .... and im the last person to be on such discussion forum... but now I am here... you may be able to guage my furstration. Snow Leapord is zillion times better than Lion... they should call it pu**y instead of lion.
