A question about video game and drivers for Nvidia

I have recently bought the parallels program and installed Win 7 on my Mac. So far so good. Then I installed a game called Champions Online (PC based). The problem is that when I load the game, it crashes with an error message saying basically that my drivers are not working properly (that's the interpretation from the support team at Champions). They suggested that I delete and reload my drivers for the Nvidia card. How do I do that? If that doesn't work, does anyone have any suggestions as to the solution to my problem?

Parallels and other virtual environments are not meant for games and 3D intensive applications. Run Windows through Boot Camp if you want to play games.

Question about video driver and window manager

Dear All:
I have been using Arch for a couple of months now and I am absolutely amazed by how top of the line this system is.
Congratulations and thank you to all the developers!
A couple of questions for anybody interested in these topics:
1) Do people usually use open-source video drivers, or proprietary? What are the advantages/disadvantages of either solution, in terms of stability and performance? (I have an ATI Radeon Mobility graphics card on an IBM T43 laptop). Also, I use dual-head with an external NEC lcd display using MergedFramebuffer, but I notice that the external monitor is not set completely well. Looking closely at the black background standard in Openpox, for example, I notice a constant flickering of the pixels. Can it be because I am not using the proprietary ATI driver?
2) What is, in your opinion, the fastest and most reliable window manager? I wonder whether somebody has run objective comparisons.
I fell in love with wmii recently, but managed to crash it twice when I tried to run kmail (perhaps because this application is not wm-independent?).
Also, applications seem to respond the fastest in fvwm on my system!? Isn't wmii supposed to be the fastest, being the lightest?
Thank you for your help!

There's two different pages for this model on the Toshiba site depending on the DVD
DVD-Multi
DVD-R/RW
Concerning the memory you can check on different memory suppliers like Orca, Crucial, Offtek etc. This is the Orca page

Question about video recording and size of the recording on a tv/comp

So i just started editing my iphone movies with imovie for mac. However I ran into a problem right away. When i recorded a video while holding my iphone vertically the playback was horrible on my mac because it was so skinny and not wide at all. First off I was wondering if there was a some way to make it wider? My videos that were recorded while my iphone was horizontal then they are perfect when viewing on my mac. So if anyone can help me with this question i would greatly appreciate it.

You cannot record a video any wider when recording a video in portrait mode or make it wider after being recorded. If recording a video in landscape mode is what you prefer, you need to record all videos in landscape mode.

Newbie question about C coding and SDK for iPhone app

Hello,
I am interested in trying to create an app. However, I have NO experience writing code I already have downloaded and installed the latest version of the SDK.
I know I have to learn: C, Objective C, and Cocoa.
I just picked up "C for Dummies" as a starting point. I figured the K&R might be a bit overwhelming to start with. Thing is, "C for Dummies" suggests doing some exercises in Text Edit and then using GCC to compile and test. But, then again, it has a copyright of 2004--long before Snow Leopard.
My question is, do I really need to do the exercises in Text Edit? Can I just use Xcode for entering the code and testing it? And, any suggestions for learning C and Xcode tutorials are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

But, I really want to learn coding and not just take the easy route by using Xcode.
The simplification of using Xcode may have been a bit exaggerated throughout this thread. You will still learn how to program full-on by using Xcode -- it's not like you're taking a shortcut or anything. Well, technically speaking, you are, but Xcode is the expected way to develop on a Mac nowadays -- it's how Apple expects you to develop and how most people are doing so. Should you choose, you can taking a deeper dive into the inner workings of compiling and whatnot by using a text editor and the Terminal, but keep in mind that the extra complexities here could complicate the more important overall goal of learning the basics of how to program. There is absolutely nothing wrong with simply using Xcode for the novice part of your programming days. In fact, it's probably the path I would recommend. Some here might suggest that it is beneficial to learn the intricacies of compiling through the Terminal and whatnot early on, and they are right -- it is beneficial, but the benefits of taking a route (at least for the time being) that allows you to focus on the more pressing issues of learning how to program without having to delve too deeply can be just as beneficial. After all, it's not like you can't go back and learn how to compile via Terminal later on -- that's what I've done (or, rather, am in the process of doing).
I always thought Terminal was something not to mess with.
Not so much. Like most things in programming (or life, for that matter), the Terminal is something not to mess with +if you don't know what you're doing+. Basically, it breaks down like this. The GUI that Apple has created for you in Mac OS X (by GUI I mean "graphical user interface" -- the icons and windows and buttons and so forth that you use to perform tasks on your Mac -- in other words, everything outside the Terminal) is geared toward the common user who does not need to access advance aspects of the system's functionality. Consequently, it makes common tasks much simpler to perform, but in the process it hides some of the deeper levels of the system's functionality from the user. This is a good thing, since most people wouldn't know what to do with this functionality and would create problems for themselves if they did have easy access to it. However, for some users who know more about the inner workings of the operating system, there needs to be a way for them to access this functionality, so that they can do certain things (like accessing certain files and performing certain tasks) that they would not be able to do using the Mac OS X GUI -- that's what the Terminal is for. It allows the user to operate the system on a lower level. In other words, it allows you to get closer to the operating system. This is good in a way, because it allows you to perform tasks that you wouldn't otherwise be able to perform by giving you more control over the operating system, but it is also bad in a way, because it can allow you to mess up some of the deeper aspects of your system if you don't know what you are doing. Most people leave the Terminal alone for this reason, and because they have no need of it, but if you want to be a good developer, you're going to have to work with it sooner or later.
Now, with all that being said, it's not that easy to mess things up using the Terminal. It's not like your system's going to crash if you misspell a command. All in all, the Terminal is very forgiving, but it will do what you tell it to do, even if you tell it to kill itself, and it is for that reason that you need to know what you are telling it before you try to tell it something. If you understand what you are telling the system, than operating on a lower level and being closer to the operating system is completely safe.
The Mac OS X operating system is based around Unix, so when you are communicating more directly with the operating system by using the Terminal, you are interacting with its Unix core. For this reason, using the Terminal goes hand in hand with understanding Unix. So, if you're going to want to use the Terminal, then I recommend you get a good book on Unix to teach you the basics of Unix commands and shell programming and whatnot. Any book on Unix will do, since more or less everything you learn will be applicable to the Mac OS X's Terminal, but there are a few that are specifically directed to Mac OS X users, and that always makes things easier. Most of these books aren't updated to cover past Tiger, but this really doesn't matter (someone correct me if I'm wrong). A few examples are O'Reilly's "Learning Unix for Mac OS X Tiger" by Dave Taylor or Peachpit Press's "Unix for Mac OS X Tiger" by Matisse Enzer. Also, the book "Unix Programming Environment" by Kernighan and Pike is an excellent book on Unix, although fairly outdated, so I would highly recommend it, although I would recommend it as a supplement to another, more recent, Mac-based Unix book and not as your primary source for learning Unix. The skills you will acquire from these books will help you later if not sooner, so I recommend giving one of them a read at some point, whether you are planning on compiling using the Terminal right now or not.
Anyways, I hope this helped to clear some of this up for you, and please let us know if you have any further questions.

Few questions about video performance and more

Hello there,
I'm quite sure I want to buy MacBook as my new laptop, but one thing bothers me all the time - for these money I can get a standard PC with larger display and better graphics card.
In order to clear some confusion, I'm going to ask you a few questions, first of all:
1. How big is the display resolution in MacBook (13" doesn't seem to be much)?
2. Is the integrated graphics card enough to play World of Warcraft?
3. Is it possible to ruin the operating system like Windows?
4. Do you receive an instalation CD of Mac OS X in case the operating system fails?
5. Is it possible to install Linux on MacBook?
That's it, thank you in advance .

1. How big is the display resolution in MacBook (13"
doesn't seem to be much)?
For laptop it's good. I have HP 15.4'' and don't feel big difference.
2. Is the integrated graphics card enough to play
World of Warcraft?
It's OK,but a bit slow.
3. Is it possible to ruin the operating system like
Windows?
yes via Parrallels or Boot cam
4. Do you receive an instalation CD of Mac OS X in
case the operating system fails?
Yes even two

Question about video cards and render times

I would like to know if having a REAL video card (not a GeForce with a measly 64 megs of RAM), would help with the rendering times in iDVD? I prefer to use the High Quality settings, so rendering is taking a very long time. Would a card with more video RAM help this along any faster? Thanks in advance.

I would be surprised, if the grafic card (=display) is involved in the process of encoding a videoDVD... (???) this a computational task =>CPU, main system...
factors for encoding speed are:
* CPU (G3/4/5/dual/quad/Intel)
* RAM (… as much as your wallet allows...)
* speed of harddrive..
* other tasks... best practise: let encoding the only main task...
* lots of free space on internal drive (iDVD needs at last 10 - 15GB free); trying to create a videoDVD with letssay 3GB free adds hours of encoding time
helpful?

I dont get sound for videos, games and music but ringtone still works. When i press volume buttons on side of phone i only get the picture of the nell and no little dots underneath. This is on my iphone 4s and ipad. It happened at the same time.

I dont get sound for videos, games and music but ringtone still works. When i press volume buttons on side of phone i only get the picture of the nell and no little dots underneath. This is on my iphone 4s and ipad. It happened at the same time.

Recurring theme with the 4s losing alerts except for the phone ringing. Most complaints seem to center on the 7.1 upgrade. The fix is dodgy, putting in a charger, playing a you tube video then pulling out the charger and wiggling it until you get the sound back. When you get the sound back, the volume buttons start to work again. Alternate solutions involve cleaning the docking port with a toothbrush, running a pick over the electrodes etc.

Preorder Video Game and Elite Status

Good morning, I have a question regarding a pre-ordered video game and my elite status. For the first time last year I qualified for Elite during the calendar year. I am enjoying the benefits of Elite in 2015 and I'm trying to plan my spending to hopefully remain elite into next year. I'm having difficulty understanding if a pre-ordered video game I made in 2014 will qualify for 2015 spending limits. Arkham Knight was released a few days ago, so my card was just charged, however, when I review my "past orders" it shows the purchase date as when I preordered it in November. Will I receive credit for this purchase for 2015 spending or will it revert back to 2014 spending? Thank you.

Good morning meatwad, That is really great question! A pre-order placed on BestBuy.com would count towards the calendar year in which it was placed, so your pre-order of Batman: Arkham Knight would have counted towards the 2014 calendar year. It is ultimately based on the transaction date, and since a BestBuy.com order number does not change, it is applied to the corresponding calendar year. That is also why you have to scroll back to November in your purchase history to see the points you were awarded. A pre-order that is placed in one of our stores usually involves a $5 deposit and then the actual pickup of the item, which is considered two separate transactions. The second transaction would determine what calendar year the pre-order is applied to when it comes to qualifying for Elite and Elite Plus status. If you had placed your pre-order in-store back in November and picked it up on release day (6/23/2015), then it would have counted towards the 2015 calendar year. I hope that help answer your question; however, if you have any other My Best Buy™ questions or if you would like for me to go over your account with you in additional detail, then please do not hesitate to send me a private message.

Question About Color's and Gradients

Hi all,
I have a question about color swatches and gradients.
I am curious to know, if I have 2 color swatches that I make into a gradient color, is it posible to change the tint of each indivdual color in that gradient and have that applied to the gradient without having to adjust the gradients opacity.
The reason that I'm asking this is because in creating a project I found that the colors that I chose for to make my gradient from my swatches were to dark, and while I can adjust each one's tint to my liking (if the object they were applied to was going to be a solid color) but that doesn't seem to apply to the overall gradient.
I hope that makes sense, I know that this was something that was able to be accomplished in quark and was wondering if I can do something similar.

If you double click your gradient swatch (after adding it to the swatches)
Then click a colour stop in the gradient, and then change the drop down menu to CMYK (or rgb)
And you can alter the percentages there. It's not much use for spot colours but it's a start.
But making tint swatches would be a good start anyway.
At least then when you double click the gradient (in the swatches) to edit it you can choose from CMYK, RGB, LAB, or Swatches and adjust each colour stop to your liking.

Question about clear page and reset pagination

Hi,
I have a question about clear pages and the reset pagination in an URL. What is the reason why a clear page doesn't also trigger a reset pagination on the pages which are cleared?
I can't really imagine a business case where it makes sense to clear all data of page items on a page and don't reset the pagination of reports on that page which probably use a page item in there where clause...
The drawback of this behavior is that a developer always has to set the reset pagination checkbox when he clears the target page and the even bigger drawback is that if you specify other pages to clear, you can't reset pagination for them, because reset pagination only works for the target page.
Thanks for your input.

A question about item "type and release" of source system creation

Hello expert,
I have a question about item "type and release" of source system creation.
As we know,when we create a web servie source system,there will display a pop-up which includes three items as "logical system","source system"and "type and release".
About the item "type and release",when we push "F4" button,there will be three default selections as below:
"ORA 115     Oracle Applications 11i
TLF 205     Tealeaf 2.05B
XPD 020     SAP xPD".
Who can tell me when and how should I use the three selections.
And also I attempted to input the item by some optional letters except the default three selections and it seems that I can input it freely.
Thank you and Best Regards,
Maggie

Hello DMK,
Thank you very much for your answer.It is very helpful for me.
Can I ask you further about it?
I got that it is a semantic description item.
You said the default selections are set by our basis people.Would you like to tell me how should we creat a new value except the default ones for item "type and release"?Only by inputing the value in the item directly?But you see we canot see the new value item we created by ourself when we push "F4" button next time ,is that ok?Or do we have to ask basis people to define one new value item just like the default seletions before we use it.
Also if possible would you like to describe detail about "This becomes important when you are troubleshooting certain issues especially when RFC connection problems."
Thank you and Best Regards,
Maggie

A few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx

i have a few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx , how much better is the dka790gx compaired to the ka790gx ? . how much difference does the ACC function make to overclocking etc , i plan on getting a phenom II 940BE or 720BE . i already have the ka790gx so would it be worth building another system using the dka790gx mobo , or should i keep what i already have and just change the cpu ?

It's largely irrelevant what other boards had VRM issues other than the KA790GX - the fact is it died at stock settings. Since there is little cost difference between the more robust DKA790GX (or Platinum if you really need 1394) why bother with the proven weakling? There are other examples around of the KA not having a robust power section. There's no way I would use even a 95W TDP CPU in the KA and absolutely not O/C.....!
As for the credentials of Custom PC, I have generally found their reviews accurate and balanced, and echo my own findings where applicable. If a little too infrequent.
The fact that the KA has such a huge VRM heatsink leads me to my other comments on the Forum, particularly regarding the "fudge" aspect:
"""Henry is spot on - the notion that adding a heatsink to the top of the D2PAK or whatever MOSFETS is effective is virtually worthless. The device's die thermal junction is the tab on the device back - which is always against the PCB pad. The majority of heat is therefore dissipated in to the board, and the fact that the epoxy plastic encapsulation gets hot is simply due to the inability of the heat to be conducted away from the device die via the tab. Not sure when Epoxy become an effective conductor of heat.... Good practice is to increase the size of the PCB pad (or "land" in American) such that the enlarged PCB copper area acts as an adequate heatsink. This is still not as effective as clamping a power device tab to an actual piece of ali or copper, but since the devices used are SMD devices, this is not possible. However, the surface area required to provide sufficient PCB copper area to act as a heatsink for several devices isn't available in the current motherboard layouts. Where industrial SBC designs differ in this respect is to place the VRM MOSFETs on the back of the PCB on very enlarged PCB pads - where real estate for components is not an issue.
Gigabyte's UD3 2oz copper mainboards sound like a good idea, on the face of it. However, without knowing how they have connected the device tabs to where and what remains a mystery. I suspect it is more hype than solution, although there will be some positive effect. From an electrical perspective, having lower resistance connecting whatever to whatever (probably just a 0V plane) is no bad thing.
The way the likes of ASUS sort of get round the problem is to increase the sheer number of MOSFET devices and effectively spread the heat dissipation over a larger physical area. This works to a degree, there is the same amount of heat being dissipated, but over several more square inches. The other advantage of this is that each leg of the VRM circuit passes less current and therefore localised heat is reduced. Remember that as well as absolute peak operating temperature causing reduced component life, thermal cycling stresses the mechanical aspects of components (die wire bonds for example) as well as the solder joints on the board. Keeping components at a relatively constant temperature, even if this is high (but within operating temperature limits), is a means of promoting longevity.
For myself, the first thing I do with a seperate VRM heatsink is take it off and use a quiet fan to blow air on to the VRM area of the PCB - this is where the heat is. This has the added benefit of actively cooling the inductors and capacitors too....
Cooling the epoxy component body is a fudge. If the epoxy (and thus any heatsink plonked on top of it) is running at 60C, the component die is way above that.....
It's better than nothing, but only just."""
