Bandwidth problems with sprint 5

I can get consistently better bandwidth using osmf 1.6 sprint 1 than I can with 1.6 spring 5. Very strange but I made several tests and it they were conclusive accross browsers. What could the problem be?

Found the problem, sorry. Starting on sprint 2 the autoDynamicStreamSwitch is set to false as default.
Which brings me to my next point: Why is OSMF so complicated?!!!!

Bandwidth problem with 7971 IP Phones

Hello,
We're using Cisco IP Phones 7971G-GE connected to a Cisco switch 3560G PoE-24 on a Cat6 network. The version of the Call Manager is 5.1.1. The switch, phones, servers and clients are setup to use a port configuration of 1000Full (we tried in auto neg also with the same result). The clients workstations are connected to the Pc port of the phone (also setup to 1000Full). When we try to upload a file to the server we have a normal bandwidth (around 30Mo/s) but when we try to download a file from the server (or from other clients) the bandwidth drop to 300ko/s... if we connect the client workstation directly to the network plug (bypassing the phone) we have a regular download (around 22Mo/s). So it seems that the phone for some reason degrade (damage) the incoming bandwidth... any idea?

Yes, we already ruled out the duplex issues on both links (all the ports are setup to 1000Full).
We will try to upgrade the firmware and I'll let you know. Just to check, I've seen there's a newer firmware for the 7971 (cmterm-7970_7971-sccp.8-3-3.zip) should I install this one or do you think the 8-2-2SR4 is better (cmterm-7970_7971-sccp.8-2-2SR4.zip)?
Thanks for your help, i really appreciate. :)

Bandwidth problems with uploading photos from Mac to iCloud??

We do not have blisteringly fast DSL & I am getting zero photos uploading from my Mac to the iCloud Photos. Anyone else encountered this??? I am hoping I can tag on to a faster WiFi at some point to see if that helps .... Current on all OS & iOS's.....

I am using a n'bor's (faster, though only in the 10mg or so range) WiFi
What is a " n'bor' " ?

Macbook Air 11" i7 corrupt files problem with Adobe Illustrator CS4

Hi
this problem may not be entirely related but maybe someone could help anyways or knows how I can proceed...
I'm running Illustrator CS4 on a Macbook Air 11" (latest 2011 model, with i7, 4GB, 128SSD), and lately some files are getting corrupted. specifically, adobe illusrator CS4 files with weeks of work. interestingly, the time machine backups are also getting corrupted.
its like I'm working on a file for a few days, backing up with time machine as well
closes the file, after a few days returns to it… (normal behavior)
then when i try to get back to the file then sometimes it says "Cant open the illustration, could not complete the operation" and opens a blank canvas.
restoring the file via time machine also gives the same error (its like all versions get corrupted simultaneously), even 4-5 versions backwards, even though they worked before when the file worked
it happened quite a few times, ruining weeks of work.
I tried the following:
reinstalling CS4 - didn't work
Opening the files on CS5 - still don't open
doing the file recovery thing and then opening it in a notepad - didn't work at all
using Time machine - the files are still corrupt
it only happenes with AI files, not photoshop files, for example.
I thought maybe it has anything to do with SSD? since my previous macbook pro (15", 2007) never did these errors…
please help
Eido

If at all, this would be I/O performance and bandwidth issues with Time Machine, but I don't think that's the problem. More to the point I think that it's a case of Preview opening the files to genereate thumbnails and icons and something going wrong there. I'd look up some guides on how to edit the relevant plist and conf files to exclude your AIs or turn off the behavior to generate these previews globally. This may help hugely...

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful. Mid 2013 iMac.

I don't know how rare this is. I went a week or so without a problem, and now it's starting to recur. Also, in some instances, an email will look unsent (remain in the outbox on the Treo), but it has been sent, and recipients are replying while I'm trying to figure out what is going on. Further, it will send the same email over and over during this madness.
This is a show stopper. If there isn't a software fix soon, I may chuck this phone in the garbage.
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)
UPDATE: The problem comes and goes. The next day, no changes to the treo, everything workeds. Now i'm suspecting the sprint server, and how it/the phone responds from failing to send while roaming. I've since turned off roaming, and haven't had a problem for several days.

Problem with Contacts for 6500 slide

I recently bought a Nokia 6500 slide and i`m very pleased, except one thing.
I used to have some other phones, and all my contacts were on the memory of that phone (not on the SIM).
For me to have my contacts on the 6500 slide, i had to move all those contacts on the sim, then insert the sim into the 6500 slide and move them again from there to the phone memory (i hate having my contacts on the sim couse i can't add any aditional info).
Ok, so.. after i moved all my contacts to the phone memory, i saw that from about 200 contacts, i only have about 20. At first i thought "ok, there was a problem with the moving process and i lost them all..." I was just about getting over this, when I realized that those numbers that I lost are still in there, but i can't see them.
If I manualy enter a number of a contact that don't show in my Contacts List, when it dials, the number appears on the screen. Same if that contact calls me. I can't see them in the Contact List tho.
It's like there are hidden or something..
I tried changing the settings so that i can see only the contacts in the SIM (in which case, none apear), only in the phone (only those 20 or so appear) or showing both (still, only 20 or so appear).
The contacts are not in the SIM couse i tried putting the sim back in the old phone, and it's empty.
They must be somewhere in the phone. Is there a hidden setting that i can find, that allows me to see those contacts that I thought I lost? It's very annoying to wait till someone calls me so I can add his number again in the phonebook
To be more specific, let me give an example.
Let's say I had contact "John" with the number "12345678". Now I can't see it anymore.
If i dial 12345678 and then hit "Call", it apears like "Calling John"
If John calls me, it apears like "John" on the screen.
If i try to add John to the phone book I get a message like "A name is already entered for that number"
It's like... all the contacts are already there, but I can't see them
Can someone help me please... I`m really desperate

Hello and welcome to the forums;
First, you mention the error references a SIM card, however your profile says you have a Sprint device. A small problem there, and I would like to clear up any confusion as which device you have: a Sprint CDMA device, or one with a SIM card.
Second, have you tried restarting your device? Hold down the power button and move the ringer mute switch next to it back and forth 3 times, then wait 4-5 seconds for the device to restart by itself.
Try this, and let us know what happens.

I am having problem with iphone 4s, I can not make calls or send text message? Please help.

The problem is presistant. I tried to send the text message but it does not leave the phone, it is only delivered after I turn the phone off and then turn it on again. Only then it gets delivered and even that is only for that moment.
Secondly, I can not send or recieve the calls as well.
Thirdly, after I make a call, the calling screen gets stuck and I can not talk to the current caller or dial to another caller.
Note: I have 'Not" dropped my iphone any where uptil now and I keep it in a pouch to protect it. The problem started recently and before that it worked fine. The problem started when I turned off the phone and after an hour or 2, I turned it on again.
The signals of the service provider is coming perfectly. I haven't found any problem with there service yet.

Network unavailable means the phone is detecting and using the SIM, else you would get a NO SIM error.
It means that Sprint does not exist in the Ukraine (obvious), and Sprint does not have any interconnection agreement with a local carrier. Hence, the phone can't talk to anyone, carrier-wise. You need to get a SIM from a local carrier and try again. If it works, you're all set and the phone is indeed unlocked. Else you have been conned and will need to go and complain with whomever sold it to you.

My iPhone 5 is connected to Wi-Fi but cannot load Safari, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Is this because of iOS7 craze or problem with phone itself?

I have an iPhone 5 with Sprint. The problem started yesterday when the iOS7 update was available for download. My phone shows that I am connected to our Wi-Fi but Safari pages won't load, apps will not open, and social site's newsfeeds wont update. If I turn off then turn on the Wi-FI, it will work for a few seconds but then lose connection. Same thing happens if I turn on/off the phone and if I switch it to airplane mode and back. We have televisions that work with Wi-Fi and they seem to be doing just fine. Is there anyone else experiencing this? Is it happenig because of the iOS 7 update craze or does it sound like a problem with the phone itself? PLEASE HELP.

try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. Also try resetting your network settings under Settings > General > Reset >reset Network Settings.

Problems with email and SMS after 1.3.5

Let me first say that I love the Pre. Up until this point it has been perfect - I have a replacement, but that is because I dropped it (wrong angle, wrong location, broken screen). However, following the 1.3.5 update I'm now having a fairly important problem with email and sms - I can receive email and messages, but not send them.
I have two email accounts. My personal account is with earthlink. My work account goes through an ISP using the domain name of my employer. I'm not using Microsoft Exchange or Outlook. I have tried deleting and reentering the accounts and that did not work. I can receive messages but get error messages when I try to send.
The same for messaging. I don't use it very often. But yesterday I get a text message and tried to respond and got the error message.
I power the phone off every night because I have a landline and use that as the primary phone at home.
I have been looking around message boards trying to find a fix for this. Has anyone had this issue and resolved it?
Thank you.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

I forgot to add that this is a stock Pre. There are no patches or homebrew apps.
Edit:
I found a fix for the email problem, in posts on precentral and this board from a few months ago. The info came up in a Google search, and not searches of the boards, which is kind of frustrating. Here is the info, and the link. I really wish Palm would put info about this work around on their site, or at least make it easy for people to find. The solution is the last message in the thread linked below:
Had the same problem. Checked with Earthlink - no help. Checked with Sprint - no help. Checked with Palm - no help. Here is what finally worked:
Delete the earthlink account and start over. When you do - this is the key - set up the account manually! If you use the Pre defaults and try to change the settings it will not correct the problem. Your settings for outgoing mail must be:
"smtpauth.earthlink.net"
Use Authentication set to "on"
username is your email address
your email password
port set to "587"
encryption "none"
Again, the key is to set up manually.

Multiple Problems with 4.2.1 update

Hi. I installed 4.2.1, and am experiencing multiple problems ever since.
1.) battery life is horrible I can fully charge it, and three or four hours later it is completely dead.
2.) wifi is wonky or, mostly, nonexistent
3.) ringtones vanished, and the default rings are barely-audible.
4.) I keep getting a random message that I need to sync my photos.
5.) Ipod volume seems to have gone down. I can crank my car stereo up all the way, and sometimes it's still not enough to hear my music.
I have a two year old, non-jailbroken 3GS which I run on a macbook, and I'm pretty good about updating itunes and iphone OS on a regular basis. I've searched at length to find fixes and am just at my wits' end. I loved this phone, at least pre 4.2.1 I did!
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, Action.
Thanks very much for the well considered, thorough answer.
I got everything working again (though will see what the battery does today), and this is what I did. I'm not sure which thing worked.
1.) One blog I found suggested doing TWO hard resets in a row, which I did.
2.) I went to
settings
Safari
clear cookies/history/cache
and cleared them all, twice, to be sure.
3.) I went to
settings
reset
reset network settings
4.) I went to
settings
reset
reset all settings
5.) I deleted all my photos one by one (I had already saved everything I wanted to iPhoto), and discovered that (and I don't know if this is normal or not, but I had never noticed this before), one of my albums was "locked". This was an album of photos and jpgs I had tinkered with using various apps, Photogene, etc. I could view only. Couldn't delete or flick to resize anything in the album. When I synced my phone, I checked "sync photos" but made sure no album or other boxes were checked. This deleted the locked album, emptied my entire "Photos" app, and consequently removed the "sync photos" message I kept getting. I took a few test photos to doublecheck, and the message hasn't reappeared.
I note that this is not only making my camera open faster now, it's making it take photos faster, and darned if they aren't better resolution as well. I had noticed, but not connected with 4.2.1, that my photos were really grainy and poor quality lately.
6.) I did the opposite of what someone on this forum suggested. I always selected my one ringtone, which is what their suggestion was. I only have three, so when I synced, I selected "all", and it defaulted back to giving me a choice. My ringtone, btw, was a home made one, which I am very attached to. I spent hours researching how to salvage it, and thankfully, didn't have to get into figuring out how to change the extensions and length of the the thing as other forums suggested at terrifyingly great length.
Memos and email are also opening faster, and I have my fast wifi back again while at home.
It's kind of like a heart failure. I didn't realize I was getting slower and more winded, it was so gradual over the past few weeks. And now I've had a miracle recovery, and am ready to go run some sprints, lol.
Thanks very much for your suggestions and quick answer. I spent hours and hours researching my problems with 4.2.1 and my ringtones.

# Specify holding disks. These are used as a temporary staging area for
# dumps before they are written to tape and are recommended for most sites.
# The advantages include: tape drive is more likely to operate in streaming
# mode (which reduces tape and drive wear, reduces total dump time); multiple
# dumps can be done in parallel (which can dramatically reduce total dump time.
# The main disadvantage is that dumps on the holding disk need to be flushed
# (with amflush) to tape after an operating system crash or a tape failure.
# If no holding disks are specified then all dumps will be written directly
# to tape. If a dump is too big to fit on the holding disk than it will be
# written directly to tape. If more than one holding disk is specified then
# they will all be used based on activity and available space.

# If amanda cannot find a tape on which to store backups, it will run
# as many backups as it can to the holding disks. In order to save
# space for unattended backups, by default, amanda will only perform
# incremental backups in this case, i.e., it will reserve 100% of the
# holding disk space for the so-called degraded mode backups.
# However, if you specify a different value for the `reserve'
# parameter, amanda will not degrade backups if they will fit in the
# non-reserved portion of the holding disk.
# reserve 30 # percent
# This means save at least 30% of the holding disk space for degraded
# mode backups.

# if autoflush is set to yes, then amdump will schedule all dump on

# Amanda needs a few Mb of diskspace for the log and debug files,
# as well as a database. This stuff can grow large, so the conf directory
# isn't usually appropriate. Some sites use /usr/local/var and some /usr/adm.
# Create an amanda directory under there. You need a separate infofile and
# logdir for each configuration, so create subdirectories for each conf and
# put the files there. Specify the locations below.
# Note that, although the keyword below is infofile, it is only so for
# historic reasons, since now it is supposed to be a directory (unless
# you have selected some database format other than the `text' default)

# tapetypes
# Define the type of tape you use here, and use it in "tapetype"
# above. Some typical types of tapes are included here. The tapetype
# tells amanda how many MB will fit on the tape, how big the filemarks
# are, and how fast the tape device is.
# A filemark is the amount of wasted space every time a tape section
# ends. If you run `make tapetype' in tape-src, you'll get a program
# that generates tapetype entries, but it is slow as hell, use it only
# if you really must and, if you do, make sure you post the data to
# the amanda mailing list, so that others can use what you found out
# by searching the archives.
# For completeness Amanda should calculate the inter-record gaps too,
# but it doesn't. For EXABYTE and DAT tapes this is ok. Anyone using
# 9 tracks for amanda and need IRG calculations? Drop me a note if
# so.
# If you want amanda to print postscript paper tape labels
# add a line after the comment in the tapetype of the form
#    lbl-templ "/path/to/postscript/template/label.ps"
# if you want the label to go to a printer other than the default
# for your system, you can also add a line above for a different
# printer. (i usually add that line after the dumpuser specification)
# dumpuser "operator"     # the user to run dumps under

# dumptypes
# These are referred to by the disklist file. The dumptype specifies
# certain parameters for dumping including:
#   auth        - authentication scheme to use between server and client.
#                 Valid values are "bsd", "krb4", "krb5" and "ssh".
#                 Default: [auth bsd]
#   comment     - just a comment string
#   comprate    - set default compression rate. Should be followed by one or
#                 two numbers, optionally separated by a comma. The 1st is
#                 the full compression rate; the 2nd is the incremental rate.
#                 If the second is omitted, it is assumed equal to the first.
#                 The numbers represent the amount of the original file the
#                 compressed file is expected to take up.
#                 Default: [comprate 0.50, 0.50]
#   compress    - specify compression of the backed up data. Valid values are:
#                 "none"        - don't compress the dump output.
#                 "client best" - compress on the client using the best (and
#                                 probably slowest) algorithm.
#                 "client fast" - compress on the client using fast algorithm.
#                 "client custom" - compress using your custom client compression program.
#                                   use client_custom_compress "PROG" to specify
#                                   the custom compression program.
#                                   PROG must not contain white space.
#                 "server best" - compress on the tape host using the best (and
#                                 probably slowest) algorithm.
#                 "server fast" - compress on the tape host using a fast
#                                 algorithm. This may be useful when a fast
#                                 tape host is backing up slow clients.
#                 "server custom" - compress using your server custom compression program.
#                                   use server_custom_compress "PROG" to specify
#                                   the custom compression program.
#                                   PROG must not contain white space.
#                 Default: [compress client fast]
#   dumpcycle   - set the number of days in the dump cycle, ie, set how often a
#                 full dump should be performed. Default: from DUMPCYCLE above
#   estimate      Determine the way AMANDA does it's estimate.
#                 "client"      - Use the same program as the dumping program,
#                               this is the most accurate way to do estimates,
#                               but it can take a long time.
#                 "calcsize"    - Use a faster program to do estimates, but the
#                               result is less accurate.
#                 "server"      - Use only statistics from the previous run to
#                               give an estimate,
#                               it takes only a few seconds but the result is not
#                               accurate if your disk usage changes from day to day.
#                 Default: [client]
#   encrypt - specify encryption of the backed up data. Valid values are:
#                 "none"   - don't encrypt the dump output.
#                 "client" - encrypt on the client using the program specified by
#                            client_encrypt "PROG".
#                            Use client_decrypt_option to specify the decrypt-
#                            parameter, default is "-d".
#                            PROG and decrypt-parameter must not contain white space.
#                 "server" - encrypt on the server using the program specified by
#                            server_encrypt "PROG".
#                            Use server_decrypt_option to specify the decrypt-
#                            parameter, default is "-d".
#                            PROG and decrypt-parameter must not contain white space.
#                 Default: [none]
#   exclude     - specify files and directories to be excluded from the dump.
#                 Useful with gnutar only; silently ignored by dump and samba.
#                 Valid values are:
#                 "pattern"       - a shell glob pattern defining which files
#                                   to exclude.
#                                   gnutar gets --exclude="pattern"
#                 list "filename" - a file (on the client!) containing patterns
#                                   re's (1 per line) defining which files to
#                                   exclude.
#                                   gnutar gets --exclude-from="filename"
#                 Note that the `full pathname' of a file within its
#                 filesystem starts with `./', because of the way amanda runs
#                 gnutar: `tar -C $mountpoint -cf - --lots-of-options .' (note
#                 the final dot!) Thus, if you're backing up `/usr' with a
#                 diskfile entry like ``host /usr gnutar-root', but you don't
#                 want to backup /usr/tmp, your exclude list should contain
#                 the pattern `./tmp', as this is relative to the `/usr' above.
#                 Please refer to the man-page of gnutar for more information.
#                 If a relative pathname is specified as the exclude list,
#                 it is searched from within the directory that is
#                 going to be backed up.
#                 Default: include all files
#   holdingdisk - should the holding disk be used for this dump. Useful for
#                 dumping the holding disk itself. Default: [holdingdisk auto]
#                 "never"    - Never use the holding disk.
#                 "auto"     - Use the holding disk if possible.
#                 "required" - Always use the holding disk.
#   ignore      - do not back this filesystem up. Useful for sharing a single
#                 disklist in several configurations.
#   index       - keep an index of the files backed up. Default: [index no]
#   kencrypt    - encrypt the data stream between the client and server.
#                 Default: [kencrypt no]
#   maxdumps    - max number of concurrent dumps to run on the client.
#                 Default: [maxdumps 1]
#   maxpromoteday - max number of day for a promotion, set it 0 if you don't
#                 want promotion, set it to 1 or 2 if your disk get
#                 overpromoted.
#                 Default: [10000]
#   priority    - priority level of the dump. Valid levels are "low", "medium"
#                 or "high". These are really only used when Amanda has no
#                 tape to write to because of some error. In that "degraded
#                 mode", as many incrementals as will fit on the holding disk
#                 are done, higher priority first, to insure the important
#                 disks are at least dumped. Default: [priority medium]
#   program     - specify the dump system to use. Valid values are "DUMP",
#                 or "GNUTAR". Default: [program "DUMP"].
#   record      - record the backup in the time-stamp-database of the backup
#                 program (e.g. /etc/dumpdates for DUMP or
#                 /usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists for GNUTAR.).
#                 Default: [record yes]
#   skip-full   - skip the disk when a level 0 is due, to allow full backups
#                 outside Amanda, eg when the machine is in single-user mode.
#   skip-incr   - skip the disk when the level 0 is NOT due. This is used in
#                 archive configurations, where only full dumps are done and
#                 the tapes saved.
#   starttime   - delay the start of the dump? Default: no delay
#   strategy    - set the dump strategy. Valid strategies are currently:
#                 "standard" - the standard one.
#                 "nofull"   - do level 1 dumps every time. This can be used,
#                              for example, for small root filesystems that
#                              only change slightly relative to a site-wide
#                              prototype. Amanda then backs up just the
#                              changes.
#                 "noinc"    - do level 0 dumps every time.
#                 "skip"     - skip all dumps. Useful for sharing a single
#                              disklist in several configurations.
#                 "incronly" - do only incremental dumps. This is similar
#                              to strategy 'nofull', but will increase
#                              the dump level as usual. Full dumps will
#                              only be performed when an 'amadmin force'
#                              has been issued
#                 Default: [strategy standard]
# tape_splitsize - (optional) split dump file into pieces of a specified size.
#                 This allows dumps to be spread across multiple tapes, and can
#                 potentially make more efficient use of tape space. Note that
#                 if this value is too large (more than half the size of the
#                 average dump being split), substantial tape space can be
#                 wasted. If too small, large dumps will be split into
#                 innumerable tiny dumpfiles, adding to restoration complexity.
#                 A good rule of thumb, usually, is 1/10 of the size of your
#                 tape. Default: [disabled]
# split_diskbuffer - (optional) When dumping a split dump in PORT-WRITE
#                 mode (usually meaning "no holding disk"), buffer the split
#                 chunks to a file in the directory specified by this option.
#                 Default: [none]
# fallback_splitsize - (optional) When dumping a split dump in PORT-WRITE

I just bought the LG ALLY and would love to have the Accuweather widget on the phone. My problem is while my phone shows the correct time, (I am on Eastern here, but about 15 miles away in Illinois they are on Central) the Accuweather Widget is off by an hour showing Central time. I tried to sync it, but I can't find it in my list of sync-able programs. If someone can help it would be greatly appreciated. It's frustrating both me and a co-worker with the same phone/problem.
Thank you!

I have the same issue, Amanda. The weather widget that comes with the Ally was poorly written. The time issue is bad enough, but it takes up more screen space than is visible. Try it, if you touch and hold on the space below the widget, it will select it. This also means you can't add widgets or icons directly below it, resulting in a great deal of wasted space.

Problem with hardware acceleration on HBO GO

I just got a Zotac ZBOX AD02 (AMD E-350 APU w/ Radeon HD 6310) and in general it's working great. However, I have a problem with Flash video on HBO GO. For the first minute or so of steaming video, everything seems perfect. Video is high quality and smooth, CPU is around 50%. Then after a minute or two there will always be some visible video glitch and CPU utilization will jump up to 90-100% and playback becomes extremely choppy. So I'm guessing Flash hardware acceleration is working initially, then something happens that kills the hardware acceleration, and of course the E-350 CPU is not up the task by itself.
The really strange thing is that it seems to be specific to HBO GO. I can stream HD all day long from Amazon Instant Video and Youtube (at least when Youtube is able to dish it out fast enough). And it's definitely not a bandwidth problem. I have Comcast cable (20Mb down), and a bigger computer I have hooked up to another TV has no problem with HBO GO. I think the same problem happens on the bigger computer, but it's faster CPU can overcome the lack of hardware acceleration.
I've got the latest drivers from AMD and the latest Flash player (even tried the 11 beta) and have tried all the main browsers (FF, IE, Chrome), but it's always the same: 1-2 minutes of perfect playback and moderate CPU utilization, then jacked up CPU and choppy playback.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way to contact HBO GO directly about this problem (support links just refer you to your cable provider), so I thought I'd give it a shot here. Is anyone else out there having this problem with HBO GO or any other Flash video sites? Any thoughts on what else I could do to track down the root cause?

Well, my idea with 10.x on IE didn't really work. Results were not nearly as good as in Firefox, and I'm not willing to use 10.x in my main browser.
However, based on your insight on the wmode=transparent issue, I started playing around with a Greasemonkey script to force wmode=direct, and I think it actually works. I haven't been able to try it at home yet on the problem PC, but here on my work PC (don't tell anyone I'm not actually working) it makes a massive difference in CPU utilization. Without the script CPU is around 80-90% during video playback. When I enable the script it drops to around 20%. The only issue is that I usually have to refresh the page once video playback starts to get wmode=direct to take effect (start video playback, then once the video playback page loads, hit refresh in the browser).
My script is just a modified version of this one I found:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/67260
Here's my modified Greasemonkey script (hopefully the forum will allow javascript in posts):

Can't figure out problem with new PC

Hi all, I just built my first PC and everything's running pretty well with the exception of some lag and freezing. My mouse and keyboard sometimes lag behind my true movement. The mouse does this more often and will lag behind for a second before it catches up to my true movement. Also, the system has occasionally frozen with the image still on the screen (no blue screens). Finally, when trying to play music, the audio will skip out every 10 or 12 seconds. Otherwise, the system is working fine... I've been burning DVDs with it and programs run fine on it.
I'm thinking that it has something to do with the RAM. Here is what I've done so far: I have all the newest drivers from MSI and Sapphire. I've tried running the system with each of the 512MB modules by themselves. I've also tried putting them in different DIMM slots. Any features in the BIOS that may slow the system have been disabled. The system runs right around 37C for CPU and 42C for the system, so overheating is not an issue. The RAM isn't getting too hot because the system is slow right from a cold boot. I've done memtest and it has showed the RAM to be good. I also ran CPU-Z and the memory specs are below. Does anyone have suggestions as to the cause of these problems and how to fix them? Thanks in advance for the help!

I now have all my programs loaded back on and all the drivers loaded and still have no problems with lagging or audio skipping. I did not install any of the Promise drivers this time. All I installed was the via driver necessary for installing windows xp at the "F6" menu. I also did not install all of the MSI utilities, etc. this time. SO all I can think of is that the problem lied in the promise drivers or some of the MSI utilities. The PS is running all of my drives fine as of right now. Regardless, I'm up and running good, so I'm happy. I hope this helps someone else.
Also... has anyone had problems with the Realtek ethernet adapter? My comp. gives me a "network location no longer available" error every time I try to copy files over the network from my other computer. I haven't seen anyone else with this error or found how to fix it. I have file sharing enabled, the windows firewall is not on, TCP/IP is installed along with client for Microsoft networks. They're all in the same workgroup also. I can connect to the Internet and the connection seems to be set up properly. I think that covers everything I've checked...

Problem with syncing palm

When I open isync, there is a yellow triangle over the palm icon and an error message stating that syncing may not work. However, syncing does work. I want to change a setting in the isync pane but that error message wont let me do anything.
thanks

The date book database not found error message tells me that the Calendar application has not yet be started on your Treo. The first time you start the Calendar application, the database file is created. That error says that the database files, CalendarDB-PAdd has not there to receive data from Outlook's calendar.
As far as I know, unless you are using some kind of middleware, like Intellisync or Verizon's wireless sync software, there isn't anything on the Treo that needs to be configured for this to work out of the box.

hmmm...maybe I should have read farther down. The Verizon Wireless Sync will cause problems with wired/wireless sync's with Outlook's data. I'm on Sprint, so I can't test the connection settings, but the other moderators here and over at Brighthand have dealt with this issue. What I do know, is that there is a sync setting in the Verizon software that needs to be disabled before this will work.

Did you have video problems with Flash Player 10.2?

Hello Flash Player community,
We're getting ready to release Flash Player 10.3 and we'd like to ask for your help and input. If you encountered video related problems with the current version of Flash Player on sites like YouTube, we're especially interested to learn if the change's we've made to 10.3 help you. We've tested this internally, and while we've seen a definite improvement, we really want to expand the scope of hardware and have those previously impacted try again.
Here's all you need to do:
1. Install the latest video drivers for your system (see step 3 on this page for video driver links and instructions.) This is important, as older drivers contain limitations and bugs that can impact hardware acceleration in Flash Player. Flash Player works with all video cards, but it's possible hardware acceleration might not be fully supported on older hardware.
2. Download and install the browser appropriate Flash Player 10.3 from labs.adobe.com. If you encounter problems installing, please let us know. When upgrade issues occur, it's recommended you run the Flash Player uninstaller (Win, Mac), then try installing again.
3. Verify that the Flash setting "Enable hardware acceleration" is checked.
For instructions on finding this setting, please see step 1 of our Troubleshoot video playback issues article. Ignore the instructions to uncheck this setting, we want hardware acceleration to be enabled (make sure “Enable hardware acceleration” is selected/checked.”) If video still fails, please disable hardware acceleration and try again.
4. Navigate to the following two video samples and verify that both video and audio play correctly:
http://www.youtube.com/embed/tgbNymZ7vqY?wmode=direct
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/live-player/
Note: The second link is a large 1080p HD video, so don't worry about any buffering/bandwidth issues with this video: what we're looking for here are display issues (black screen, corrupted video, etc.)
That's it! We'd love to hear your success stories, especially if you were one of the ones that ran into problems when 10.2 was initially released! However, we're equally interested in hearing if things don't work correctly. Please let us know on this thread or send email to [email protected]. Please include a brief description of the problem and your hardware diagnostic file.
Thanks,
Chris
