845E bios set to default now scsi doesn't post

I have a 845E Max board and an Adaptec 29320-r scsi card. Having problems setting up system and accidently reset the bios (amibios A6566 ims v27112802) to default. Now the scsi post (ctrl A) doesn't appear (it did before the reset). I've tried all sorts of bios settings, even cleared cmos, nothing's worked . I moved the adaptec board to another computer and everything worked fine (scsi menu showed during post)

I'm assuming that BIOS is not recognizing your drives - right?  
I'm not familiar with your BIOS or SCSI set-up, but I do know that when the 875P BIOS is set to default only PATA enabled drives will show up.  You have to manually set BIOS to recognize serial drives and/or RAID configurations.  The boot sequence also changes to default.

  • 754 Ultra MS-6561 Windows crash and now sometimes doesn't POST

    Bought a new MSI motherboard and installed everything that's in my signature.  Everything is used except for the memory and the mobo.  The computer was running fine for a few weeks. No problems. Only recent installation is an old game: Independence War 2, where it would freeze or crash to desktop.  Didn't think much of it, as I hadn't patched it yet.  Then yesterday during lunch I tried to turn on the computer and got the following error before it got into windows:
    "While Initializing device IOS:
    Windows protection error. Please restart your computer."
    So I restart and the computer wouldn't POST. After a few tries, it POSTs but I got the following error:
    "Invalid VxD dynamic link call to device 3, service B. Please run windows set-up to fix."
    So I have to restart again, and it wouldn't POST. It's the same thing over and over, it would start up and hang before POST, the display doesn't even turn on. Waiting a while and trying again will result in it POSTING. I check the tempurature of the processor and it's a cool 43-50 degrees celsius, never going higher than 65 degrees celsius on a normal day.
    It will let me into windows sometimes without errors, but it will crash and then won't POST for a while. One time I was able to get to the command prompt and while trying to see a directory, it froze and bunch of symbols were all over the screen. And then at restart it wouldnt POST. But if I let it sit, it will start up no problem. But it will crash after a while.
    I get home from work yesterday and decide to do the following: run scandisk, update the BIOS to 1.7, update my video drivers, and reinstall Windows 98SE.
    Mind you, the day before I could barely keep the computer on, let alone try to do anything on it. But when I turned it on last night, it seemed like it was back to normal. I was on it for like 2 hours doing everything to it. I ran the scan disk and it worked fine.
    The bios update went without a hitch. When I reinstalled windows, I didn't format the harddrive and only installed it over the existing 98. Why? Because I have no idea how to format a harddrive and I don't have the Win 98 cd (my bro in law, when installing it the first time on my old 450, put all the CAB files and whatnot in a directory and I installed it through there).  
    I do everything else and leave my computer running for a little while. No problems. It seemed like it was running as new. I was even getting better resource management by 1% (no big deal I guess). I start up and shut down a few times to make sure I'm not crazy and it really did seem like it was normal again.
    Then I shut down and go watch tv for a little while. I come back to it later, and BOOM. Same crap as before: Windows protection error, please restart. If not, it's the dynamic link VxD crap that tells me to run windows set-up.
    It doesn't even let me into Windows thru safe mode. Going step-by-step start up, it seems to crash and shut down at loading windows GUI. Then it won't let me post for a while, like before.
    I download memtest as I saw in one post here and as it's doing it's test I get the same thing I get when I'm in DOS:  Freezing and funny symbols on the screen.
    D-Bracket, when it hangs either is at:  Full Red (processor info), or will jump from the memory test to the early chipset initialization, then back to the memory test lights.
    I'm at my wits end.  Please help?

    Thanks, Wonkanoby.  I had seen that already (one of the first things I did when I saw those errors was to go online from the work computer and look for what those errors meant in windows support).  When I was able to get into my computer, I used msconfig and saw that my system.ini was fine.
    I haven't tested different ram yet, though.  Which one do you all suggest?  What I have is kingston, but it seems that some of the MSI boards don't like them.
    And although it wasn't suggested, I changed the power supply as I saw that many of the problems on here were associated with it.  I got an Antec True 430.  Sure enough, it wasn't the problem :(  Still debating if I should keep it over my 330 watt (also Antec) or return it and get dinged with the 15% restocking fee.  I may be upgrading to a 2600 soon I may keep it.
    I'll try the new memory this weekend.  Meanwhile, any other suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Set as default tab doesn't save

    Because it shows the name of the last poster, I would prefer to have Overview as the default view for forums I visit. (I would hope that the names of the OP and last poster will be reinstated as soon as possible for all page views. As many others have already mentioned, this is very useful information to have.)
    For some reason, only in 10.4 Tiger does Overview remain as the default. (And, I don't remember even having to use Set as default tab for the Tiger forum to remain in Overview. It has just always appeared that way.) With any of the other forums I frequent, even if I click on Set as default tab for Overview, if I leave that forum and return it always reverts to Discussions view. It doesn't save that view.
    In addition, Set as default tab doesn't even appear as an option for several of the forums I visit.
    Is this a bug, or do I need to know something about making the save work?
    Unless it's some setting I'm missing on the Personalize/Widgets page, I don't see anything I can use there. I already have browser bookmarks for any of the forums I visit.

    Don Archibald wrote: The 'set as default' option will not be available when you are viewing the collection using the tab which has already been set as default.
    But, for example, neither in Tiger nor iTunes, did I set Overview as the default. They appear that way without having done anything. And thanks for the clarification on points.
    Before setting to Overview, Set as default is available:
    After setting to Overview, Set as default is now missing and I can not make Overview the default. Something I'm not getting?

    On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
    I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
    I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

  • [svn] 3148: You can now use CSS styles to set the default text format for TextView.

    Log Message:
    You can now use CSS styles to set the default text format for TextView. It no longer has any formatting properties. It supports the entire set of Gumbo text format styles.
    SkinnableComponent and Group now also support all these styles. However, skins such as ButtonSkin, TextInputSkin, and TextAreaSkin continue for now to specify instance styles on their TextBox, TextGraphic, and TextView, in order to give them a Gumbo look rather than a Halo look. So if you try setting, for example, the fontSize on the Application, it doesn't yet affect the text format of a Button, TextInput, TextArea, etc. unless you remove the instance style in the skin.

  • I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

    I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

    The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
    The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
    Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
    This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

    What does the family WiFi have to do with iCloud? iCloud is on Apple's servers.
    If it is a shared computer what you can do is create a new user ID on the computer. Log in with the new ID. This will give you a "clean" iTunes library that you can use for backing up the the old phone and syncing the new phone.

  • I am using Firefox on widows with a dictionary add-on, and now that I've installed a french one, it goes to french every box. Can i set a default dictionary?

    Worked fine with just english, now with french it always makes me change. I type a lot online, so if you add up the 2 seconds each time, it's hours wasted in a year.

    What is the order of the installed languages?

    Current Firefox version may select the dictionary based on the language that is send in the HTML file.<br />
    You could try to create a user.js file to set the default dictionary (copy the spellchecker.dictionary from prefs.js to user.js) to reset the default dictionary on startup, but I'm not sure if that will have effect with loading web pages.

  • "Show view option" and "set as default" doesn't work

    Hello,
    I have my own settings in viewing finder items (like most of the users). Unfortunately those setting don't apply to iDisk folders, even after using "set as default" in "Show view option". There is any solution for this?
    Thanks in advance for help.

  • Photo elements wants to open last used dir location. When it doesn't exist or cannot access, it fails to open.  How do you set the default file location?

    Upset!!!
    Photo elements wants to open at the last used folder location. When it does not exist or unable to open that location. It FAILS to OPEN.
    Does not seem to be a way to set a default location or to change the location.
    VERY ANNOYING.
    How do you tell photo elements to always go to a set location rather than the last used location?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    I did a test as you suggested - open an image on a removable drive, close the editor and took the removable offline. When I next went to the editor, it opened OK.
    From the screen shot in message #5 above, I think that the fault is with SolidWorks. I am not familiar with that product but it seems to be a form of asset management and it can't open its database - is that on the removable?
    Normally, the editor does not open any files when it loads except for it program files and any addins. Could SolidWorks be an addin?
    See if this works to reset the preferences.
    Create a desktop shortcut for this file
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Hold down the Ctrl, Shift & Alt keys when you double click on the shortcut. Keep the keys held down and eventually a message box will pop up asking if you want to reset the preferences - you do.

  • Can't open BIOs Set-up, K8N SLI Platinum, after re-flash

    I used the USB Bio flash tool from the forum to re-flash the BIOs on my K8N SLI Platinum board to the latest BIOS from the MSI site, specs below.
    After the re-flash, which seemed to go okay, I cleared the CMOS (turned off and unplugged computer, pushed the clear cmos button for about a minute), and re-booted.
    I get a checksum error, no floppy found. I don't have a floppy drive in any case. But then I am unable to enter the bios. Pushing delete at boot gets me a screen that's blank, save for a cursor in the upper left corner. I can't enter anything from there, ESC key doesn't do anything. So I have to reboot.
    I can get to the POST screen and pressing F1 allows the system to start and get to Windows, which seems to run okay. System shows that the new BIOS is installed. I just can't get into it to re-set to default settings.
    If I turn off the computer, I get the checksum error again and in Windows clock and date have to be reset. But if I just reboot I just have to go through the no floppy found, then push f1 to get back to windows which has retained settings.
    I tried  doing the flash procedure again and got same result. I haven't tried flashing back to the old BIOs yet. MSI's site only lists the most recent BIOs, my preference would be to try a different one, but not as old as the 2005 version that was on there.
    Hopefully someone can tell me something obvious that I'm missing here.

    I'd also like the RAM to run at at least 333, rather than the 200 something it runs at with this BIOS.
    Check this with CPU-Z at "memory tab" ==> http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
    BIOS post screen info can be incorrect., or current older BIOS by 200MHz it may means 400DDR In all cases its cosmetics,
    the way of showing real of effective freq. can be changed in future version.
    Also with four sticks it should be shown as either 333 or 166, not 200 or 400
    Best check with CPU-Z how they are running
    Quote
    It may now be possible to put something faster in there, but I don't know that for sure. But the 4000+ should improve performance a bit.
    Such old CPU's can't be found easy in present days, also its not good investing to invest in old stuffs.
    You want W7 and such, changing to the best CPU wont improve much the performance in overall..
    Soon or later you have to change it, then this and eventually "newest" CPU which you gonna get will became useless.

  • Setting a default folder view for all folders in Windows 7

    How do you set up a default folder view of "List" for ALL the folders in Windows 7 including the optical drive?  
    Artoo

    I just installed windows 7. Are you seriously telling me that i now have all folders with mp3s in them AUTOMAGICALLY (THANKS FOR THE HANDY HELPING HAND THERE MICROSOFT!!!) set to some designers whim of what an mp3 folder "SHOULD" look like?
    Well i was going to write a big rant, and indeed did, but then i was doing some more research and it seems like i just made everyones day and solved the problem (partially). Or well THIS guy did:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16694/customize-the-five-windows-folder-templates/
    After you’ve clicked OK, visit some of the other folders in your file system.  You should see that most have taken on these new settings.
    What we’ve just done, in effect, is we have customized the General Items template.  This is one of five templates that Windows Explorer uses to display folder contents.  The five templates are called (in Windows 7):
    General Items
    Documents
    Pictures
    Music
    Videos
    When a folder is opened, Windows Explorer examines the contents to see if it can automatically determine which folder template to use to display the folder contents.  If it is not obvious that the folder contents falls into any of the last four templates,
    then Windows Explorer chooses the General Items template.  That’s why most of the folders in your file system are shown using the General Items
    template.
    Changing the Other Four Templates
    If you want to adjust the other four templates, the process is very similar to what we’ve just done.  If you wanted to change the “Music” template, for example, the steps would be as follows:
    Select a folder that contains music items
    Apply the existing Music template to the folder (even if it doesn’t look like you want it to)
    Customize the folder to your personal preferences
    Apply the new template to all “Music” folders
    A fifth step would be:  When you open a folder that contains music items but is not automatically displayed using the Music template, you manually select the Music template for that folder.
    Anyways, sorry that explanation doesnt do it justice. I have spent waaay too much time trying to figure this out already. Also that link doesnt say how to 1) copy templates (are they file or registry based?, didnt do research) 2) if you can distable templates
    or the automatic re-templating of folders.
    THAT is what i want to know! as it is much more maintance then its actually worth...
    but once i had set 5 default types to, the exact same thing... it now doesnt matter if it automagically switches it. SUCK IT MS AUTOTUNE!!!
    Its bloody hard to frame this question too. What can you say about this? "folder changes to mp3" "customize folder types windows 7" "windows 7 folder changes to mp3" "dont automatically change folders to mp3" "how
    to change mp3 details column for good" "automatically change column order win 7 mp3"
    The search that actually solved it:
    "do not apply default template to mp3 windows 7"
    good luck, this worked for me!
    EDIT: also i just noticed that neonr already answered this above. i just didnt read it carefully enough. anyways i guess i will leave this and mark his as answer.

  • Setting project default file locations and a few random interface questions

    I apologize for the randomness of this post, but it seemed better than spamming a bunch of different posts in a short period of time.  I've been using Premiere Elements 9 for about 6 months now and there are a few little things that I'd like to tweak.
    I'd like to change the default file save location for a project.  I've got different projects in different folders and it seems like I should be able to set a default save location for each project.  All I've ever been able to find in the help is how to set the scratch folder, which is different.
    I'd like to change the default encoding preset for a project.  For example, I have a custom preset for mp4 under the mobile phone category.  It would be nice to have that be the default whenever I pick the mobile phone category.
    With birthdays and concerts and plays and all that stuff I have about 50 videos and a couple hundred large photos already.  Every time Premiere loads, it takes a few extra seconds to load up all of the thumbnails.  I hide all the videos and pictures on the Organize tab and save the project, but it never sticks.  Is this just impossible?
    Finally, every so often, the end-of-clip marker acts funny.  I don't know what the proper name for it is, but it is the thing under the mouse cursor in the picture below.  It used to automatically move on the time line as I added or deleted clips.  Somehow I clicked a button and it no longer does that.  After a week or so of not working, it goes back to automatically adjusting as I add and delete clips from the timeline and then it will break again.  Ideas?
    Also in the timeline, I now have this huge gap of nothingness on top of video 1, see picture.  My ocd says that Video1 and Audio 1 should be at the very top and the gap should be on the bottom.  Ideas?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    I kind of wish you'd have spread these questions out over a couple of posts so that we could answer each thoroughly. If I answer all of them in depth in a single post, this answer would be the size of one of my books! (which, by the way, contain many of the answers to these questions.)
    1. The default save location for your videos should be the last place you've saved your video to. So that should happen automatically. Although in my books I recommend that, whenever you start a new project, you create a new folder for it. This is good housekeeping and a good way to keep your tmp and render files in the same place on your drive, which has a number of advantages.
    2. You can't create a custom project preset. The only presets available are the ones Adobe provides. And, although they are pretty extensive, some non-traditional formats (like video from some mobile phones) are not well supported. You may be able to get it to work -- but it's usually a hybrid solution and, personally, if you plan to use your phone's video as your main video source, I'd recommend you look at another video editing program. Premiere Elements doesn't do the hybrid stuff well. It's ideally suited for video from traditional camcorders.
    3. The thumbnails you see when the program loads are not in your current project. At least not until you import them into your Project panel. That Media panel is merely a preview to what's in your Organizer catalog. As I explain in my book, it's usually best to ignore this panel until you really learn your way around the basics of this program. It's very confusing. Fortunately, it adds very little load time to the program itself -- regardless of how much time it seems to add.
    4. The thing in the illustration is the Work Area Bar. It's used to isolate a segment of your timeline for rendering, etc. Usually, it will shrink and grow as you add and remove video from your timeline. Unfortunately, there's a bug in version 9 and, if you manually change it once during a project, you'll have to manually change it for the rest of the time you work on the project. But, if you drag each end of the Work Area Bar to cover your entire timeline of videos, your project shouldn't misbehave.
    5. The "gap of nothingness" on your timeline is just room for you to add more audio and video tracks if you'd like to. It's a good thing to have! BTW, as I'm sure you know (and my books, once again, explain) you can toggle the tracks on your timeline so that they display as either compressed (as in your illustration) or wide open, which allows you to see your clips and control audio and video levels. Once again, this is a very good thing!
    Happy moviemaking.

  • Webloc File Set to Open in Safari Doesn't

    This is a small problem that seems like it shouldn't exist.  Firefox is my default browser (set as default within Safari preferences).  I also keep current versions of Safari and Chrome on my computer.  I work at a college and, in order to access things like student records, class schedules, etc., I now must use Safari because the current versions of both Firefox and Chrome are no longer compatible with the (somewhat old) software used by the server for these services.
    I created a webloc file that takes me to the log-in screen for all of my college's online services.  I did a getinfo on the webloc file and set it to open in Safari.  However, it always opens in Firefox (my default browser).  I know that the default handling for webloc files is to open them in Finder which automatically transfers to the default Web browser; however, I assumed that manually setting the webloc file to open in Safari would override that.  It clearly doesn't.
    I would rather not set Safari to always open to that web location because I actually use Safari for other things such as when I encounter a site that isn't Firefox friendly.
    Is there a simple set of Applescript commands that would open a particular URL in a specified browser?
    Any other ideas?

    Webloc files will always open in the default browser. The Open With setting in the Get Info window for them doesn't control anything and shouldn't be there.
    To check a browser's AppleScript dictionary, launch the AppleScript Editor and choose Open Dictionary from the File menu.
