B/W odd crash

hiya
i recently got a G3 Tower, and i put 10.3 on it.
its got 2 HDDs a 10 (for booting) and a 120 for stuff.
Some times i am working in firefox or any other app i get a message that my computer must be restarted, ive not seen this before
can anyone help?
ive got just over 300mb of mem in the comp as well.
Thanx

Panther is picky on about it's RAM. How much do you have. You want at least 256Megs. If you can, pull all the RAM out but one stick and try to run your system off of that stick. Example would be, leave in a stick of 256 and take out the other 256 and see what happens. Or leave the 512 stick in and take out the others. If you have less than 256megs upgrade your memory to at least 256megs most would suggest 512 or a gig. I'm doing just fine with my 384.
Others say that PC 100 and PC 133 RAM shouldn't be mixed either. I have both and have not had any issues for about 3 years. So I would say that I'm the exception to that rule.

  • Really Odd Crash

    There's a really odd bug / crash that happens under these very specific circumstances.  Unfortunately I can't upload an FLA here, so I've provided a download link from a 3rd party site.  If you don't feel comfortable with that, I've listed the steps to recreate the error below.
    (Note: Don't click the giant download buttons, click where it says "Save file to your PC: click here")
    http://www.2shared.com/file/qJWkGney/PrivateVideoChat.html
    http://www.2shared.com/file/M5tNwwRL/PrivateVideoChatExample.html
    If you don't feel comfortable with that, here's a description on how to recreate the error:
    1. Create a new AS3 FLA
    2. Under AS3 Settings -> Library Path, import the flash only player 10 AFCSFlash.swc
    3. Import rpc.swc from the FLEX sdk into the library path
    4. Create a movie clip and put text object in it.  Don't put it on the stage -- leave it in the library.
    And then to make it work with the document class...
    5. Add a Button component and name the instance connectButton
    6. Add a TextInput component and name the instance connectSessionID
    7. Add another TextInput component and name the instance myCSessionID
    8. Create the document class and link it to the FLA
    9. Add your developer credentials (where the constants are defined)
    The document class is this:
    package {
        import com.adobe.rtc.authentication.AdobeHSAuthenticator;
        import com.adobe.rtc.collaboration.AudioPublisher;
        import com.adobe.rtc.collaboration.AudioSubscriber;
        import com.adobe.rtc.collaboration.WebcamPublisher;
        import com.adobe.rtc.collaboration.WebcamSubscriber;
        import com.adobe.rtc.events.SessionEvent;
        import com.adobe.rtc.session.ConnectSession;
        import fl.controls.Button;
        import fl.controls.TextInput;
        import flash.display.Sprite;
        import flash.events.MouseEvent;
        public class PrivateVideoChatExample extends Sprite {
            protected const USERNAME:String = "";
            protected const PASSWORD:String = "";
            protected const ROOM_URL:String = "";
            protected var _cSession:ConnectSession = new ConnectSession();
            protected var _webcamPublisher:WebcamPublisher = new WebcamPublisher();
            protected var _localWebcamSubscriber:WebcamSubscriber = new WebcamSubscriber();
            protected var _audioPublisher:AudioPublisher = new AudioPublisher();
            protected var _audioSubscriber:AudioSubscriber;
            public var connectButton:Button;
            public var connectSessionID:TextInput;
            public var myCSessionID:TextInput;
            public function PrivateVideoChatExample() {
                var authenticator = new AdobeHSAuthenticator();
                authenticator.userName = this.USERNAME;
                authenticator.password = this.PASSWORD;
                this._cSession.roomURL = this.ROOM_URL;
                this._cSession.authenticator = authenticator;
                this._cSession.login();
                this._cSession.addEventListener(SessionEvent.SYNCHRONIZATION_CHANGE, this.onLogin);
                this.connectButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, this.connectTo);
            protected function connectTo(event:MouseEvent) {
                if(this._cSession.userManager.getUserDescriptor(this.connectSessionID.text)) {
                    this.createNewPrivateChat(this.connectSessionID.text);
            public function onLogin(event:SessionEvent):void {
                this.myCSessionID.text = this._cSession.userManager.myUserID;
                this._audioPublisher.publish();
                this._webcamPublisher.publish();
                this._localWebcamSubscriber.subscribe();
            public function createNewPrivateChat(userID:String) {
                this._audioSubscriber = new AudioSubscriber();
                trace("Hasn't crashed yet....!");
                this._audioSubscriber.subscribe();
                this._audioSubscriber.publisherIDs = new Array(userID);
                trace("Aaaaannnndddd...boom.");
    You'll notice if you do any of the following it'll work fine:
    1. Replace the player 10 AFCSFlash.swc with the player 9 AFCSFlash.swc in the library path
    2. Remove the rpc.swc from the library path
    3. Remove the MovieClip with the text object in it
    4. Comment out the line "this._audioSubscriber.publisherIDs = new Array(userID);"
    Edit: Oh yeah, and to use the application you copy your session ID (from the myCSessionID TextInput) and paste it into the the connectSessionID TextInput in another instance of the swf file (or into the same one -- you get the same results).
    I was able to replicate this on another computer using the files above, so I don't think it's my environment that's causing the error.

    All,
    This looks like a bug with Flash player debug plugin.
    Please download the Flash player latest version of debug
    plugin 9.0.115
    from the location
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    The link should show - 12/3/2007 - Update Linux Debugger
    versions (aka
    debug players or content debuggers)... Download the linux
    debugger and
    standalone players.
    You dont need standalone player though it comes bundled
    together. After
    you untar the folder you will see /plugin/ directory which
    contains
    libflashplayer.so
    copy this to your $HOME/.mozilla/plugins/ directory... for
    root users it
    is /usr/lib/firefox* ...
    Relaunch the browser and confirm if you are running Debug
    version of FP
    - by visiting this URL

  • Odd crash behaviour

    A crash I haven't seen before. I did a Save As and InDesign crashed.
    I restarted it and it couldn't find the file it had just saved for automatic recovery.
    The file was listed in Explorer as bpr200803.in87215449203
    I tried an Open With from Explorer and CS3 wasn't listed - although it was open at the time, so that may be the cause there.
    I dragged the crashed file into the InDesign window and it opened perfectly. I could then Save As the correct file name.
    I pushed it out through INX and after 15 minutes of being on the verge of completing a reopen I ended InDesign through
    Task Manager.
    A second attempt at opening the INX file seems to have been successful.
    k

    1. It's possible that the settings may be in the catalog. Normally I'd recommend sending them into one of the engineers, but I believe he is off for 2 weeks now.
    2. In order to prevent Lightroom grinding to a halt to write every instruction as you tweak, XMP is written during idle time. If you were working constantly, then it may not have all been written when the crash happened.
    3. Yes.
    4. I've no definite answer for this. A crash while Lightroom is writing to the Preferences file could corrupt it. If you want, you could potentially copy a working version and when the preferences corrupt, replace them with the copy. I've never heard of anyone doing that though.

  • Odd Crashes in flash.

    OK. Here's the story. I'm an amateur flash developer and i'm
    working on a project involving 3 scenes. Scene 1 = "Hall, Scene 2 =
    "Kitchen" and Scene 3 = "Garage". All is well and good. However,
    whenever i try to change the scene to "Kitchen" the entire program
    crashes. Wtf?
    As well as that, it won't let me test the movie. Whenever i
    try, the progress bar goes to the end, but nothing happens.
    However, when i just test the scene, the scene works fine. This
    works with both "Hall" and "garage".
    Another point to make is when the whole project is viewed
    using internet explorer/firefox (it will let me export the file as
    a .swf) it will let me navigate from the hall to the kitchen (and
    vice versa), but not from the kitchen to the garage. It just
    doesn't do anything. Doesn't crash. Nothing.
    Please assist, any help would be very much appreciated,
    thanks.

    hello kglad.
    seem that ive been given the wrong code then,ill have to notify my freind.
    thank you.

  • Has anyone experienced any odd crashing since mavericks came out?

    My computer has maybe crashed once or twice since I've owned it. I've had mavericks for three days, and I've been experiencing multiple crashes. My screens get pixelated and offset, then shuts down.
    Is this a Mavericks bug, or something else going on with my computer. I'de like to think that the recent software upgrade isn't just a coincidence. My macbook pro is an early 2011 model if

    Apparently this is a really big problem with the early 2011 macbook pros. And untill apple acknowleges this issue, you're stuck with the bill. Case in point.

  • Odd crash after SU 2006/QT 7.1 - NOT VersionCue

    I started a thread here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=482611&tstart=0 because I thought it was just Mail misbehaving. But there's a deeper problem: something to do with com.apple.security, that occurs when (I think) QT 7.1 is installed on my Intel iMac.
    Here's the critical bit of the crash log:
    Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)

    A similar error occurs when QT7.1 and SU 2006-003 are installed, on launching keychain access or trying to send mail. And it's all users on the machine, not just me. I've tried a whole bunch of things, including deleting the usual mail suspects, com.apple.security.whatever, and I have nothing in the Startup items. Everything else I've tried seems to be fine, it's just those two applications. And I think it occurs after updating to QT7.1, but I can't prove that yet. Maybe on Friday I'll look at installing SU and not QT; in the meantime, does anyone have any ideas?

    I may be experiencing a similar problem - I have one application (FontDoctor 6) that will not launch without a crash and an HP Color LaserJet 3800dn network printer that will crash any application if you select it to print - all other printers work fine. Our WinXP and Win2K machine print to the HP ok.
    I was running 10.3.9 and the printer and all applications worked fine.
    I purchased the 10.4.3 Tiger retail upgrade disk, backed up all important data, ran Disk Utility until it ran clean and then installed. After install I ran Software Update and am now at 10.4.6. After Software Update FontDoctor crashes on launch every time and am unable to print to that one printer. I have noticed that other threads comment on HP printers causing problems, but have seen them referenced only to OS'es 10.2 and 10.3 - not 10.4.
    I have also ran Disk Utility again and it comes up clean.

    ==================
    I am reluctant to reset all printers and re-install them all as some are inputs to our workflow and high-end proofer running on Win2K servers.
    I have cleared and re-installed the HP printer twice, and re-installed
    FontDoctor twice with the same results.
    ?? any suggestions?

  • Odd Crash When Renaming .aip File

    It seems as though illustrator is crashing in the SDKPlugPlug::RemoveEventListener method of my plugin, but only when the .AIP file is renamed.  If you run it once under a certain name there is no crash.  If you rename it, you get the following crash report.  If you put the name back to the original way it was named, you're back in business.
    I've only seen this in CS5 on the Mac.  Weird. Thoughts?

  • Odd crash (kind of) wouldn't start issue

    Ok...
    3ghz 2meg ram x1900 etc
    Bootcamp partition on system drive Fat32 windows runs fine.
    reFIT (I think that's what it's called) is used to switch Mac/Doz on start up.
    Had it a month and rock solid - both sides.
    SO --
    I'm sitting here last night (after hours for AppleCare and with my laptop at work (which becomes important later...)) and working in AfterEffects on the Mac side. It may or may not be important, but I haven't booted to Windows in maybe a week or more. And I'm noticing that I'm getting some very slow responses and ... wait... my Right Click isn't working. Wait... now I can't click close a window... what? QUIT!! nope... apple-Q isn't working either... won't force quit from dock... I'm still in AE and I apple-option-esc to force quit and then SHUT DOWN from the finder.
    Mac shuts down fine.
    Wow - that was odd.
    I power back on after about 30 seconds or so and all I get is a grey screen. Remember, I haven't rebooted my machine in a good week or maybe two. But 2 minutes go by and still a grey screen -- no reFIT (if that's what it's called) nothing... just the grey screen.
    I force power off and try again. Same thing. Power pushes once and monitor comes on... but no other power pushes to force drives or whatever.
    Crud! I know where to LOOK for all those special hold this down key combination, but I can't remember... well - maybe I remember.
    Mouse Button - Grey screen/Drawer opens (insert disc 1 from install set) still grey screen so
    C key - Grey screen no spinning from optical drive
    D key - grey screen no spinning from optical drive (hardware check)
    At this point I unplug EVERYTHING for 10 minutes (I timed it!!)
    Apple-S - Grey screen etc.
    Shift - Grey screen
    Now, sometimes I'm getting the reFit showing up on the grey screen, sometimes not.
    Ok... so I reach over to my G4 sitting under the desk to turn it on and get online. I press power and NOTHING... NOTHING!!! Brick!!!
    Go running to my wife... "Did we have any power spikes today?" Nope.
    So I unplug everything and go have dinner.
    I opened up the box and pressed some little white button on the mother board that kind of looked like something kind of like a PMU switch...
    I still can't boot to the install disc but I finally get single user working. I do fsck -y /sbin/fsck -y etc
    It gives me 5 lines of "code" and that's it. Ok, maybe everything's fine?
    So I "reboot" --
    I get an APPLE on my Grey screen now!!!!
    5 -- 5!! minutes later it boots up and I'm getting a warning saying the disk I've inserted is unreadable by this computer. What? My install disc??? So I reboot again...
    5 minutes later, same warning -- But wait!! As before, the install disc is actually there... but my 500 gig SATA drive I installed after Macworld isn't... is THIS the disk it's talking about??
    So I reformat and all "seems" to be good.
    Is it?
    The drive didn't have anything on it... was sitting there empty but formatted.
    Are these exclusive problems related to something worse? Am I good for another month?
    Thoughts?????
    Thanks!

    Is it?
    Unfortunately only your Mac Pro's going to know that. It really depends on what went wrong in the first place. This sort of behaviour is quite typical of a drive corruption so be sure to Verify/Repair both drives in Disk Utility from the Installation DVD 1.
    Are these exclusive problems related to something worse? Am I good for another month?
    Personally, I'd spend the time to zero the drive in Disk Utility and also be sure that it's using the GUID Partition Table.

  • Odd Crashes

    My friend did the latest Security Update for Tiger, and now his Safari browser will crash every time it is opened. Im not entirely sure what is happening, but some help would be helpful.
    **Other Notes
    Mac OS X 10.4.11
    Powerbook G4
    **We tried a Verify Disk and Verify & Repair Disk Permissions but it did not work.**
    Thanks

    Open up console.app (located in [startup disk]/applications/utilities/).
    Clear it by clicking on the broom.
    Start Safari again.
    Post what the console says after Safari crashes.

  • In Design CS 6 crashing on resizing a text frame

    Some specifics:
    2 MACs networked via cable directly connecting the two.
    one MAC Pro 12GB RAM 10.6 OS
    one Imac 16GB RAM 10.8 OS (this replaced another MAC Pro that we were told had a bad RAM controller when we started experiencing this odd crashing)
    I have built a 10 page document that is part of a book. This document has been working fine until today. I saved the file yesterday and came back to it today to do some more work. Everything was going along as expected until I came to a particular text frame. Every time I try to resize or delete this text frame ID crashes. I've also noticed that if I add a text frame after (next page) the problematic text frame ID crashes. Recovery says it's recovering but the file crashes in the same way after the file is reopened. I can move all the other text frames around and do other things, but when I adjust that text frame ... crash.
    If I move the problem text frame off the page, onto the workspace I can do anything I want to the frame, but, if I move it back to the page where it came and adjust it ID crashes.
    This (mysterious corruption) has happened many times over the last year or two. Not always a text frame, deleting something, moving something, small things you wouldn't think would crash the app. I think the problems started with either 5 or 5.5 ... or possibly an OS update ... or both. We've used ID for five / six years now and this issue wasn't happening before 5 or 5.5.
    Exporting to IDML results in the same problem. (clarification: I can make the adjustments to the text frame in 5.5 to the IDML file. Saved back to an INDD file, open in 6, and the problem returns.)
    Resetting prefs doesn't change this behavior with the corrupt file.
    Problem file crashes ID on both computers.
    Thoughts? Questions?

    Is the 8.0.1 patch for ID installed?
    Have you tried Remove minor corruption by exporting?
    If that doesn't work (and I suspect it won't, but do try it), you mentioned you can move the frame to the pasteboard. Can you delete it from there? How about if you unlink it from the text thread (click the outport of the frame before it, then clikc inside that same frame to break the thread at that point). If you can delete the frame you should be able to add a new frame and relink if the frame iteslf is corrupt. If that doesn't work, try exporting the story to InDesign Tagged Text, then re-import it replacing what's there.

  • Adobe and shockwave constant crashes

    Hi folks,
    Posted question with Firefox, but they have sent me here.   I'll start by saying that i'm not the most tech savvy - but can do bits and pieces. Really at my wits end!
    Mozilla updated itself to what i thought was the new 36 version, although going through the many troubleshooting processes again today, i stumbled across an option to update firefox - it stated i was running an old version. I used to get the odd flash/shockwave crash - but it always righted itself by me downloading a new one. (it has never shown as being out of date)
    I am apparently running Windows 8 (some screens tell me Win7- but it is 8), Firefox 36, plug ins - Open H264 (no clue what/where this came from), Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.305, Silverlight, iTunes app detector and some photo gallery thing- all up to date.
    I have run through most of the troubleshooting ideas in the forums. I'm now submitting crash reports every couple of minutes. I have been told that most of my reports are being blocked because of their frequency. I literally have hundreds - 46 today alone. Sorry...47

    Crash Data for Firefox
    I have uninstalled firefox, reinstalled. Uninstalled adobe, reinstalled - several times each.   Plugins say all up to date (but then it never says otherwise)  Hardware accelerator on and off - nothing changes.
    Help please!

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks so much for getting back to me.  I have in the past encountered the odd crash - but found a work around by reinstalling flash and it usually fixed it.   Firefox occasionally does automatic updates - this happened a couple of weeks ago and ever since i have had issues with flash.
    I've tried IE and it seems ok with that - i just dont like the layout- otherwise i would switch.   I have tried pretty much every suggestion in the forums- bar the programming ones.  I really dont know enough to start messing about with that.  I am also unable to narrow down the sites it crashes on - it happens so often, that i lose track. In the plug in window - Flash has never shown as needing updating.
    What i have tried -
    Disabling hardware acceleration; flash uninstall, restart, reinstall (several times); refreshing firefox; trying in safe mode (got into a pickle!); submitting crash reports (47 the other day in less than 3 hours online)  fact is i have submitted so many that i've been told they are being blocked as they are so frequent; asking in the forums (both Mozilla and here)
    I get both top warning bars and the wee icon crash windows where content should be.  Here is an example - https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/f1cc9d73-ab3d-4798-a845-805c52150305
    I am running Win8 - but for some reason it is being picked up and identified as Win7 in some places.  Also running Firefox 36, plug ins - Open H264 (no clue what/where this came from), Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.305, Silverlight, iTunes app detector and some photo gallery thing- all up to date. 
    Fiirefox has also been behaving oddly - slow, and newly opened tabs are over magnified.  I uninstalled firefox today and reinstalled. I have not yet reinstalled flash.
    The troubleshoot page you refer to asks about realplayer?   I have never had this installed - even before the issues? And weirdly - i can see your video!? Nice voice by the way.
    Am i doomed in Firefox?

  • OS X Air Crash (Keychain Related)

    Hi Guys,
    On an Air desktop application we've got we are seeing some odd crashes on OS X, specifically Mavericks. Multiple customers are seeing it and we weren't recording the crashes in our Scout Telemetry, it seemed to crash outside of Air's remit.
    The crash reports always die around this poin, usually looking like it was making HTTP callst:
    Security::RefPointer<Security::CssmClient::ObjectImpl>::RefPointer(Security::RefPointer<Se curity::CssmClient::ObjectImpl> const&) + 26
    Security::KeychainCore::Trust::evaluate(bool) + 1851
    We've discovered the user fix mentioned here: Re: Air 3.9 Crashes with OS X Mavericks 10.0 (repair the keychain) but we're wondering if there's anything better? Can it be mitigated? Is it an OS X issue?
    Thanks,
    Greg.

    I was having this same problem, but soon realised it was a partition on the hard drive, which is, apparently, created temporarily during installations and usually removed at the end of the process. When the installation fails, it doesn't get removed.
    To remove it, simply open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder (under Applications), select your hard drive volume from the list on the left (not "Macintosh HD" etc., but the hard drive under which it is listed), then select the "Partition" tab. You'll see the "Install OS X" partition in the diagram. Select it and press the "-" button underneath.
    Once that is removed, you can resize the Macintosh HD partition to include the space used by the rouge install partition.
    Hope this works for you!

  • Strange crash on DVDSP

    To all,
    I just experienced an odd crash of DVD SP. Running an Imac 24" Intel dual processor with OSX 10.5.8, FCP Studio2 bundle and all updates. DVDSP version is 4.0. The crash log excerpt is shown below. It appears that DVDSP was calling for an obsolete file and when it crashed, it literally destroyed the project file. It is unopenable and is only 12kb in size. While the project was running I did frequent saves. The existing file does not show this. When I attempt to open the file, I get an error message indicating that file format is invalid. The file format is correct.
    I have no idea on how to make the recommended change to the function listed as faulty in the crash log.
    Is there a folder in which temporary/backups are stored? If so, perhaps I can at least save some of my work.
    Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Spartan,
    Many programs use the internet to gather information or check for updates. If your internet connection is in an indeterminate state (not 100% on but also not 100% off) then this can confuse many applications. They will sit trying to poll the network to get a valid IP and because they don't get an "on" or "off" message regarding the state of your connection (because your computer is fighting with whatever you use for your connection to get an uplink) they can become unresponsive or even quit unexpectedly.
    The most I would suggest is go into Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Automatic -- Create a new Network location.
    Ultimately if your internet connection is that unstable you may want to look into a more reliable network. If getting a better connection is not in your future and you are using Airport to connect wirelessly, just turn your airport card off except when you need internet access.
    Cheers

  • Crash While Adding New Calendar Items

    I've tried adding new entries into the Calendar and am getting an odd crash back to the Home screen immediately after setting the event's time to "All Day" ('flipping the switch' for All Day). It's consistent and repeatable. I realize that random crashes are pretty much going to be common here in the initial launch of the Software Upgrade but I was kind of hoping that this wouldn't be one of them. It doesn't reset the iPod or stop the music playing-- which actually surprised me in that respect-- but it does fail to save the event. Anyone else have this issue, or any other 'reliable' crashes?

    Interesting.
    I see a definite delay, and I thought it might crash, but it doesn't.
    Try replacing the data on next sync - the option is at the bottom of the info tab in iTunes.

    There's only a memory option for exporting when compiling but that isn't really your issue. At home I use my laptop for CS5.5 on an older quad i7 1.6, 4GB ram, radeon mobility HD4xxx series in Win7 64 and it works great (alongside Photoshop, Flash Builder and other misc apps at the same time) so you should be more than fine.
    If you also run Photoshop at the same time, do check the RAM default settings. I had some issues because by default it's allowed 50% total RAM. I have half your ram. About ~800MB for the OS, 2GB for Photoshop leaves just over 1GB for "everything else". If you have large PSDs open you could easily eat 4GB ram and not even know Photoshop will do that.
    Aside that, the first thing I'd suggest is the usual 2 obligatory options and we'll take it from there. #1, check for updates (Help->Updates) and perform any updates listed. If that doesn't work I'd try resetting your application preferences. To do that (close Flash if it's running), start Flash and immediately after you click the icon to launch Flash hold CTRL+ALT+SHIFT. Delete your prefs and let Flash recreate them. That often fixes odd crashing and performance glitches.
    Let me know if those don't help. If they don't it sounds like you're in pagefile territory or your FLA is simply way too big.
