A bit of a general question but...

This may have nothing to do with my motherboard, but I'm trying to rule out hardware/software causes. I play Guild Wars and just before I switched my 17" Dell Trinitron for a refurbished 19" NEC FES991-B (ranked very high for CRTs) my screen went blank and the system rebooted. The only thing I had changed was to substitute two sticks of 1GB of Corsair XMS for the 2 sticks of 512mb I previously had. I set the timings at the specs of 2-3-3-6 1T and upped the voltage from 2.65 volts to 2.75 volts. Less than 2.75 volts resulted in no post.
Now I'm periodically having one of the following problems:
(1) Screen freezes with the colors looking strange and only shutting off the PSU allows a reboot. I e-mailed ATI, who manufactured the card, to ask if it could be the culprit. I did put an Antec blower fan under the card and turned it on high.
(2) The screen goes blank and the speakers emit a repeated popping until I shut off the power and reboot. No clue.
(3) The system reboots. In this instance, there's usually an error logged in the Event Viewer. I haven't submitted a code yet to Microsoft because they give you two questions and then charge you--not surprising, it is Microsoft. My assumption here is that I shut down one two many processes in the Task Manager. You have to shut off Norton dues to its greed for memory.
I did MemTest 86 twice for several hours at a time and there are no errors on the RAM.
I updated to Catalyst 6.6, including the NET framework file. My bios is the most current version and I updated the driver from my sound card. The motherboard temps per Core Center never get about 37 degrees for the CPU and 42 for the system during gaming. The CPU fan is cranked to maximum. The temps are higher though, since I put 2GB of RAM in the system and tightened the timings.
FYI for noise Northbridge fans, MSI will send you a new one free of charge if the board is still under warranty and maybe even if it's not.
Could my motherboard possibly be the culprit here?

Sisu, You could try to relax the timing on the ram to see if it helps. Also in your sig you state....."BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v. 6.00PG" ,FYI that is not your bios version - when you first boot @ the first screen it will say towards the top of screen 7125.xxx - 7125 is the model of mobo [Neo4 series] and the xxx is the revision of bios - 1.0 up to current 1.D revision.

More of a general question but

i just ordered a macbook pro tonight so i figured with the lack of a general discussion area, i might as well post this here.
i kinda have a big problem with the order i placed. i didn't save the order number(browser crapped out on me). and i've yet to receive a confirmation email. i DID get to complete the order before the browser quit because i remember SEEING the order number, i just didn't write it down because i figured it would be in an email. an email i haven't gotten yet.
so i'm worried something is wrong with the order. this especially ***** because tax free weekend ends in a few hours and i'm wondering if i need to place the order again or not. i can't call customer service on a sunday night and i have nowhere to go on here for quick answers.
i apologize for the misplaced thread but i really need a hand here...

Hi davey2k10 - welcome to the discussion forums. If you bought on line, it seems you can just log back in to verify your order???

Bit Of An Odd Question.

Hi Everyone, I have a bit of an odd question but my friend gave me his old version of photoshop cs5 with the product key i was wondering if i could register it under my name at all?

If that copy has been used in any upgrade path, then it is no longer valid.
Also, Adobe has paperwork, that must be filled out, to transfer ownership of valid licenses. I would have your friend complete that paperwork for the gifted copy. Adobe Customer Support can get them the necessary paperwork. Once, that transfer could be done via FAX, but not sure what the process might be now.
Good luck,

Sorry - very general question

I have been playing with flash for a while on a Mac but I
have been dissatisfied. It is a pre-intel version and 1) it is very
slow, 2) it does not support Soundforge, which I hear is quite
popular and easy to use. Anyway, I'd like to get a PC but I'm not
sure whether I need a standard computer or a suped up version with
lots of memory, graphics capability, etc. Basically the sites I've
seen have divided computers into those suitable for standard office
tasks and net surfing and those suited for "hard core gaming." I am
basically planning to use the computer just for flash animation and
sound clips. Is a standard PC (that exceeds Flash's minimum
requirements) going to do it for me? Sorry for the general
question. Thanks.

First of all, no need for the apology, there are no stupid
(or general) questions.
Second of all: sorry to all Mac fans, but PCs are the way to
go. After all, you get to choose what company makes your computer.
So you can get either the high-end model from HP or Gateway, or get
something a little more affordable from eMachines or Compaq. With
the Mac, you can only choose, well, a Mac.
While computer shopping, look for the following features:
(This is the BARE minimum of what your expectations should
be)
Windows XP Home Edition
AMD Athlon+ 2.1 GHz Processor
800x600x16-bit or better screen
32 MB Video RAM (For the occasional game here and there)
512+ MB System RAM
Sound Card, Speakers
If you get a computer with Windows Vista (which you probably
will), turn off the Vista visual styles, use Windows Standard.
(Flash has a BIG problem concerning Windows Vista visual styles,
which is the problem I'm having now...see first page of "Flash
General Discussions" for my post, please help! Thank you.)

Report Builder Question - OA AR Aging - and a general question

I'm sure this is the wrong forum for this question, but I thought there might be someone here who might be using Oracle Applications and Report Builder who'd be kind enough to help me out.
We've recently implemented Oracle Applications 11.5.10 and I have to use report builder to change the Accounts Receiveable Aging (7 bucket) to a 5 bucket report. I've already made some changes to the seeded "ARXAGMW.rdf" report, but I'm not a big Oracle Reports guy. I've stumbled through making some changes in various other reports. But this one is just plain nasty! :)
I was thinking that I could simply add buckets 6 & 7 to bucket 5, then just hide or delete the 6 & 7 buckets. But I'm not sure where to even start. Any help with this would GUARANTEE a Christmas or other holiday card this year! :)
I really want to keep this simple as possible, so any help would be very....helpful. :)
Oh, my general question is: Are there any resouces/books for Oracle Reports (Report Builder)? I feel so lost trying to modify existing reports, let alone creating new ones.
Thanks again!
Steve

Hi Steve,
I am working on the 7-bucket aging report and i want to add a new field in data model.

i get the following error: ORA-01789: query block has incorrect number of result columns.

General question about iTunes Match and multiple libraries

Hello to everyone,
I have a general question about the iTunes Match service, which is available since yesterday in my country (Italy). Currently my library situation is the following:
Computer A (desktop, Windows 7): "big" iTunes library (about 20 GB), at the moment not associated with my Apple ID
Computer B (MacBook Air 2011): "small" iTunes library (about 5 GB), associated with my Apple ID
At the moment, both my iOS devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) are synchronized with the smaller library on the MacBook Air.
Question is as follows: should I subscribe to iTunes Match, would it be possible to upload the "big" library (provided I associate it with my Apple ID) to iCloud while keeping my devices synchronized with the "small" one?
Ideally, at the end of the day, the situation should be the following: both iOS devices with music from the small library + possibility of downloading songs from iCloud (coming from the big one). Is this possible?
Maybe the question sounds stupid, but I want to be sure about this before paying for the service.
Thanks a lot.

Yes, you could also associate your larger library with iTunes match if you associated your Apple ID with it. However any purchases in the library made from another Apple ID will not be matched with iTunes much.
If both libraries are part of iTunes match, then all your devices will see all of the content from both libraries, which content you choose to have on those devices and which you have accessible via iTunes match is entirely up to you.

Windows 8.1 64 bit installs 32 bit browser (Internet Explorer 11) but user would go on installing 64 bit programs which 32 bit browser (Internet Explorer 11) rejects, how to stop this?

For many days I searched for answer of how an Internet Explorer add-on installed because few websites won't run without it, but Windows OS or Internet Explorer itself won't allow install of these add-ons.
Please note following problems:
1. Windows 8.1 64 bit operating system installs 32 bit Internet Explorer 11, but this 32 bit Internet Explorer won't accept 64 bit add-ons which I tried to install for 64 bit Windows 8.1, incompatibility of 64 bit and 32 bit which
I knew already but didn't clicked even on posting forum questions not before 'ORACLE's message in yellow.
2. For 64 bit Windows I kept on trying to install 64 bit add-ons for Internet Explorer, which won't install or would send message 'Incompatible', once default installations of these add-on's are disturbed but not completely uninstalled, new installations
won't be entertained at all, only way is reinstall of Internet Explorer.
3. Therefore I installed Apple's 'Safari', which also displayed same messages, but allowed install of 'Quick Time', and now I listen to my favourite songs on a great sound system of a website.
4. Windows needs correction for this.
Best of Luck.

Bit of a strange question regarding security and internet connection

This is a bit of an odd question so bear with me for a moment.
I sold my old G4 to someone I didn't know yesterday. While he was looking at it to make sure it was working I allowed him to plug my ethernet cable in (connected to both a netgear router and a cable modem) and go online to install an application on the computer he was buying. It did't take long and I didn't actually see what he installed but after he left and I plugged back in to my mac pro, my internet connection started suffering. It started by being very slow and then timing out with servers. I reset the modem and even bypassed the router but the connection did not improve and eventually I could only get a self assigned IP address with no internet, although the modem appeared to be fine.
Aside from finding my I.P. address at my location, is there anything else he could have compomised security wise, either in the name of harvesting some kind of info or just creating a problem in the cable network when I let him use my connection on the g4?
I think that most likely I'm being a little paranoid but the timing of this is a bit strange. It literally went down hill just after he left.
Today the cable company is reporting a wider internet outage than just me but I just though I'd throw it out there to see if there are any security wholes exploitable when someone uses your internet connection (I would think and hope that there are not).
thanks a bunch

Well, in the closing the stable door approach it is a good idea to do a complete erase and install when selling any computer. There's lots of references to this and even one about removing a certain file so when they start up they get the brand new Mac greeting window. If you do not erase the drive using the secure erase feature in Disk Utility then with an $80 investment plus an empty spare drive the purchaser can likely recover any files you had on the computer recently if they consider it worth the effort.
I suspect the internet issue is not related to this, especially since your ISP commented about problems.

Stupid Question, but.......

I run TM on three Macs (two iMacs and a MacBook Pro). I really do not know much about TM other than once set-up it runs pretty much on its own backing up the computers. Does it back everything up including iTunes? I know that this is probably a stupid question but if it does back up iTunes, is there a need to separately back up iTunes to DVDs/CDs or another external drive?
Thanks!

Definitely NOT a stupid question. And the answer is . . . it depends on how much risk you want to take. As great as locally-attached external drives and Time Capsules are, they may not protect you from fire, flood, theft, or direct lightning strike on your power lines. So if your music (or other data) is really important to you, and difficult, expensive, or impossible to replace, then yes, you need an off-site backup in addition to TM.
There are many ways to do this. Some folks alternate between a pair of portable externals with Time Machine, keeping one attached for a week or so, then swapping with the other in their safe deposit box, workplace, relative's house, etc. (You do have to tell TM when you do this, and shouldn't go much longer than 7 days between swaps.)
Others copy their data to DVD/RW(s) periodically, and take them off-site.
Still others use a different app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to copy just their iTunes folder, and/or iMovie folder, etc., to a smaller portable external and take that off-site.
Still others, if their data isn't too large, store a copy online, either via a MobileMe subscription on their iDisk, or with a 3rd-party service like Mozy.
And there is an option within iTunes to do incremental backups to CDs/DVDs. I haven't used it, but it's been recommended here.
This may seem a bit like wearing a belt plus suspenders, but backups are one area where many of us have learned, often the hard way, that +Paranoia is Prudent!+

Update on Bioinformatics WIKI, scripting challenges, and a general question

I am waiting for my site to go on-line at Oak Ridge National Labs (USA, Tennessee). Should be another week or so, maybe less.
When that happens, you will see a veritable explosion of scripting challenges in my wiki (Emerging Technologies->Bioinformatics.)
One general question in preparation for these challenges.
There are a number of standard bioinformatic programs that can be run interactively via the web at various sites, e.g. "BLAST" and "STRIDE".
Although these can also be run locally, this requires that you download large databases and keep them updated.
So here's my question to the scripting experts:
Are scripting languages powerful enough to submit queries to web pages and then use regex's to parse the html that is returned?
Bill Mann has used PERL to do some of the required regex parsing, but there is a lot left to do, and, his stuff only works when a perl program is invoking a bioinformatic program locally, not interactively.
If so, we all can do some beautiful stuff together , if anyone is interested ...

...my wiki on...
There is by it's very nature no such thing as MY WIKI, except you run your own wiki project in an exclusive mode. Which were...well ... unusual.
Are scripting languages powerful enough to submit queries to web pages and then use regex's to parse the html that is returned?
Yes.

Delete scriptcode - General question: capacity limit of Acrobat Windows

Hello everybody,
I've got a general question to the capacity limit of Acrobat Windows.
I often make forms with
for instance the current one has 18 pages. Eleven pages have fields on it. (But some pages have only one field on it) The fields of one page to another are sometimes linked with script code. The file needs nearly 1 MB.
Usual I write the script code by a double-click on the field/ calculate/ custom calculation script. (Is this the right way?) Today it happens again that a field with script code lost the script code.
That's why I wonder whether there is a capacity limit of Acrobat Windows or whether I make mistakes. (This is only one instance of several where the form has his own life.)
Thanks in advance for helping me!

Indesign cs6 general question

hello indesigners.
after all the waiting for indesign cs6,is it still 32bit anot not 64bit?
just asking because im reading alot of opinions on the internet.
thank you.

I think that you can reasonably assume a 64-bit future for InDesign, but not as an InDesign 8 (CS6) update. For MacOS, transition to Cocoa from Carbon was necessary for this to occur.
Note that there are in fact limited benefits of 64-bit over 32-bit. In general performance with 64-bit is not necessarily better than with 32-bit. There are cases where 64-bit performance actually can lag a bit behind that of 32-bit. The real benefit of 64-bit is the ability to have larger address spaces, thus eliminating problems that can occur with very large, very graphically complex documents when InDesign and its component graphics libraries run out of address space for content, work areas, etc. and either the program fails or has to spill out into work files.

General Question re logical workflow (Multiple Products/Sales Teams)

Currently we are upgrading from a highly customized CRM environment developed in CRM 4.0. We are hoping to move to an out of the box solution with 2015.
But I have a general question. We are a service company with different sales groups for each of our products.
Currently we have customization for each service so a Sales person is assigned to a specific product for the customer.
So my question is, how is this handled out of the box. I am sure there are many many many companies in the same situation.
So say 10 products with sales group for each product.
Then a customer with multiple departments. Each sales group needs to contact the specific department.
So a customer could potentially have 10 different sales people contacting different people in the customers organization.
How do you know when someone has already made contact?
If we just look at the activities it is not very clear that contact has been made for a specific product.
Even with our customizations, there have been many situations where 2 sales people contact the same person at a clients office and we end up looking very unorganized.
Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.
If this is not the right place to post this type if discussion, please redirect me.
Thanks

As an example, for 37-minute sequence of footage (made up of multiple clips) it's taking 50 minutes to first export a non-self-contained, time-code-reader-filter-added Quicktime.
Did you render fully before you exported? That helps. But this is also a GOP format, and it takes longer to do pretty much everything, as it is a processor intensive format.
1) How much more memory would help this work flow go faster, and approx. how much faster??
None. RAM doesn't come into play here. PROCESSOR speed is all that matters. What will make it go faster is enabling QMaster to have Compressor access all cores of the processor. Or getting hardware to help with the compression, like the Compress HD from Matrox. But that only boosts encoding to H.264.
2) Has anyone else done this type of work-flow, and been able to do it more quickly? Is RAM the issue? Any suggestions for a more efficient work-flow?
RAM isn't the issue. Faster Processors, hardware boosting...converting the footage to ProRes before you begin editing...all help.
RAM isn't what is hindering you here.

Newbie question - general question about e-mail sync

Hi,
I have a general question about email sync and BlackBerry smartphones. Are there any devices that allow email syncing with a Microsoft Exchange 2007 system that do not require the BlackBerry Enterprise server?
Thanks; sorry if this has been asked before but I was unable to find it in the forums, documentation, etc. Everything I found assumes that for this kind of environment you will be using a BlackBerry Enterprise solution, but I can't assume.
Thanks again.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
If the Exchange server has anything that faces the internet (OWA, POP, IMAP), then BIS can be used to handle email (only email...calendar and contacts require BES to sync OTA).
Or, a PC, inside the network (but with an internet path) and logged into the email server (using Outlook), can be left running, using the RIM Desktop Software's Desktop Redirector capability to forward messages to the BB.
Those are basically the options.
Hope that helps! Let us know!

Can i skip music when on general shuffle but play it in a playlist?

Quick question, I am currently adding some Christmas music to my iPod, I would like for it to be skipped when on general shuffle but to still shuffle when in a playlist. Is this possible?
When I select "skip when shuffling" it doesn't play the music when on a normal shuffle, but then again it just plays the same order of music in the playlist - no shuffle possible. Kind of a catch 22. Any help?

When I select "skip when shuffling" it doesn't play the music when on a normal shuffle
That is how it's supposed to work.
but then again it just plays the same order of music in the playlist - no shuffle possible.
Correct. You don't wnat these to play when Shuffle is selected so they don't.
They will only play in order.
It's not a catch-22 at all.
