Can't get any Director to work on Win 7

Hiya:
and from what I see quite a few other people have the same proplem. It worked fin on Win XP, but when i went up to win 7 it installs OK, but won't stay on, and when it does come on for 30 seconds, the programs not right, (like no keyframes where they should be in the box) etc...

Director MX2004 and newer wörk great on Win7 64 bit.
Mostly seen problems are with security in program files folder.
Install Director to eg c:\progs\director and it will work.

Can't get any audio "changers" working

Hello, I have HP Pavilion 2250so, and I can't get any audio changer or like that working. I can't get Dolby Advanced Audio working and the IDT Audio which is already on my computer doesn't work, evey time I try to start that, it says -"IDT PC Audio has stopped working. I don't mean that I don't have sound in my computer, no I have but I can't get those audio programs working which are like equalizer in Windows Media Player 11 that you can add bass boost and stuff. Any help?

I would recommend that you first try updating the IDT Driver using the following link: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-112600-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
If that doesn't seem to help, try updating your BIOS: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-116222-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
Let me know if either of those helped to resolve your issue or not. If they do not, let me know and I will see if I can find anything else to help you.
Best of luck,
Kyle

Can't get any video driver working (X-Server)

Hi everybody (and thx for reading this),
I'm about to install Arch Linux 64 Bit on a new machine, an Acer Aspire 8935G. I installed Arch Linux on several plattforms over the last months with help from the brilliant Wiki-Guide. Unfortunatley I can't figure out how to get the X-Server running this time, so I need a little (???) help here to point me in the right direction.
System is up and running. Graphic Card is a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 (and an Mobile Intel GM45). What I did so far was installing the radeonhd driver first (and later others, because radeonhd wouldn't work) and configure X with:
# Xorg - configure
Which resulted in a message of the X Protocol:
List of video drivers:
radeonhd
intel
ati
radeon
fbdev
vesa
after that I installed and ran HAL, to avoid problems with input hotplugging.
Finally, to test the configuration:
# X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
(EE) RADEONHD(0): rhdAtomGetDDCIndex: GPIO_DDC Index 5 exceeds maximum 5
(EE) RADEONHD(0): AtomBIOS returned 3 Grey Levels
(EE) RADEONHD(0): AtomBIOS returned 3 Grey Levels
(EE) RADEONHD(0): rhdAtomLvdsDDC: unknown record type: c
(EE) RADEONHD(0): ParseTable said: CD_INVALID_OPCODE
(EE) RADEONHD(0): atomSetBacklightFromBIOSScratch: rhtAtomDigTransmitterControl(atomTransEnable) failed.
^C
Playing around with vesa, intel and fbdev didn't bring me any further. Vesa and Intel led to a black screen without responding keys (hard reset is necessary every time) and FBDEV led to a error message:
Primary device is not PCI
(EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOBLANK: Invalid argument
Maybe it's an issue with the integrated full hd monitor, because of the DDC-Message, but googling around didn't help for the moment. The hardware works with Linux, Mandriva 32-bit-Image ran out of the box with X-Server and KDE 4.2. But I would prefer an Installation of Arch Linux with the software, I really need and want.
I will try to add the xorg.conf later on as I'm writing this on an other machine.
Thx in advance for the help!

Yes, I know. I also tried to get it working without an preconfigured xorg.conf. You know it... yeah... results in a black screen ;-).
zenlord wrote:And are you using the latest software? I installed Debian stable on a G45-chipset with intel graphics last week and I had to use at least the 2.6.2-driver IIRC, or upon loading the (old) driver, the DVI-port was disconnected and I was left with a black screen, but otherwise working install
Yesterday, I experimented with the Intel driver, because I found out that Mandriva also uses them, not fglrx like I thought. First I tried the xf86-video-intel. Have given me the typical X-Server feeling at start, probing the monitor I guess, than the backlight of the screen is on but the screen itself stays black. Fells like it's working, just the monitor is not respondig. Tried 1001 different screen settings, but the problem can't get solved. The same phenomenon can be experienced when usen the latest Intel-Git-Drivers from AUR. Last message of Xorg was: Setting up DRM Master or something like that. I will go and check it tonight again and report back.

[Radeon] MSI RX9550SE Can't Get Any Drivers to Work

Board is recognized my O/S but I can only get a vidoe signal with generic VGA driver. Currently the board only shows in my devices as MSI RX9550SE T128 Secondary. If I try installing drivers from installation disk with board, latest from MSI site or Catalyst 5.3 from ATI I get the same result - black screen {no signal} using these drivers but system boots fine. All of these drivers cause message that they are not XP signed but I continue anyway. I have removed and reinstalled device numerous times, no difference.
I have set the BIOS AGP to 4 instead of 4x/8x. I have updated my BIOS and MSI board drivers to the latest. I notice in other threads that there may be issued with some MB for instability using PS/2 mouse and keyboard. Sometimes this devices are not recognized and have to reboot and wehn sw\itching users in XP system reboots itself. Have not switched to USB mouse and keyboard yet.
Kind of pointless to have this vidoe board if I can only run the generic VGA driver which gives me none of the performance the board should. I must have something not set right, this should work just fine. Any suggestions?

Got rid of MB drivers and ATI drivers, used Device Cleaner
Installed latest nVidia neoforce and ATI catalyst from their websites. Now XP Devices shows MSI RX9550SE T128 {and appears disabled} and MSI RX9550SE T128 Secondary {appears enabled}. Both show the driver as the current ATI driver I installed. If I enable the non-secondary device screen goes black but computer still runs (does not reboot}.
However, Advanced Setting from desktop properties under Adapter shows no identified adapter type with all items under Information as <unavailable>. Adapter properties say VgaSave. Catalyst Control Center does not open when launched and running ATI Wizard produces "Catalyst Control Center Desktop Setup Failed".
Seems like I have more issues than a driver problem. None of my devices report any conflicts. Any other ideas? MSI support says to use their drivers since they may tweak ATI's some for their products.

I can't get any sound to work on my ipod touch

I cannot get any sound on my ipod touch. When I am listening to music the volume bar is not visible and when I am on my apps it says no volume available. Anybody have any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?

Here is what Apple Says: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2771
No sound through internal speaker*
Verify that the iPod touch is not set to pause.
Verify that the volume is set appropriately.
Verify that headphones are not attached to the headphone port.
Verify that Bluetooth stereo headphones are not paired wirelessly.
Try turning the iPod touch off and then on again.
No sound through headphones*
Verify that there's no debris in the headphone port.
Plug and unplug the headphones. Reconnect headphones and verify the connector is pushed in all the way.
Check the volume setting on your iPod touch.
If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music is not paused.
Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPod touch with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
Try another set of Apple headphones.
Try a different song or video.
Check other content, such as videos, to see if they exhibit the same audio issues.

My daughter's Iphone 4 locked in the middle of changing her password. Now the old or the new passwords do not work. When trying to restore setting hooked up to the computer it says to enter the passcode on the phone first. I can't! Any help?

good luck.
If the device had Find My iPhone activated, yes. Otherwise, no, you don't need your Apple ID & Password, just because of iOS 7.
To access iCloud or iTunes, etcetera, yes. But that's no different than in iOS 6.

Can't get instant client to work on Win XP

This is driving me nuts. I'm trying to get instantclient10_1 (10.1.0.4) to work reliably on Win XP so I can use it in deploying a Python app I'm writing. I have one XP system on which I have the instant client installed and working. By this I mean that it works with the appropriate of sqlplus. It also works with cx_Oracle. However, I do need to set ORACLE_HOME in order to achieve this (contra the documentation). I do not seem to need to set SQLPATH.
But I can't get it to work on any other system. I copy my instantclient10_1 directory over and use the same batch file that works on the "good" system, but I get "invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified". I'm using a command of the form
sqlplus user_name/[email protected]:1521/db_name
I've also tried a "fresh" install on that machine. Same story. I've tried it on another machine as well. Same story. It only works on this one machine!
It actually took me quite a while to get it to work on that machine, involving installing and uninstalling the full client, the instant client, both, etc. But it does work there.
Another odd "feature": On the "good" machine, if I fail to set ORACLE_HOME, it errors and suggests I do this. On the "bad" machine, I just get the "invalid or unknown NLS" error.
There are other ORACLE directories on these machines (e.g., ORA17). But I get the same results if I hide these and take all reference to them out of environment variables.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Why is it working on the one system? Why isn't it working on the others?

There's one more way that the previously-existing Oracle directories on the other machines might be tripping you up - with registry settings. In particular, the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\(some home)NLS_LANG registry key may be associated with the "invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified" error you're getting.
Of course, the Instant Client isn't supposed to have to mess with the registry, so that makes me suspicious. And I got Instant Client SQL*PLUS on a clean XP machine to work without setting an ORACLE_HOME. All this makes me suspicious that some stuff from outside your Instant Client is being run. I know you said you cleaned your environment variables, but double-check that the other Oracle directories are out of your PATH.
If you have permission to, you might want to thoroughly scrub the old Oracles from the other machines (starting with running the Oracle Installer, then hand-cleaning the registry, the c:\Ora92 or whatever directory, and then c:\Program Files\Oracle). If you have MetaLink, Document 74790.1 is a dated but good guide to cleanly de-installing an old Oracle installation from Windows. It's much more difficult than it ought to be; sometimes it feels like an Oracle home is never truly gone. If you can't do that, perhaps save a copy of your registry and then temporarily rename HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE to ORACLE_HIDDEN, or something - something to keep any existing registry settings from distracting your Instant Client.
Good luck!

[Solved]Can't get any bootloader to work

I previously had Mint installed on my computer and before I tried installing Arch on my computer I set up a virtual machine and installed arch on that with no problems on my first try. Now I've installed arch from the net install(same iso I used from the VM install and it's 64 bit) and it appears that everything installs correctly but when I reboot I get an error 15 from grub. When I installed I used syslinux not grub so I figure this is some remanent from my old Mint install. I tried installing with grub but got the same error. Then I installed with syslinux as my bootloader 3 more times and got the same error.
I set up the system with a single partition the first time(same as on the vm) and then I tried letting it do the auto partition but still no success.
I'd appreciate any input into what I'm doing wrong and I figure it's something simple I missed.
Edit: I installed arch successfully on a vm again so I'm sure it's some issue related to my hardware.
System Info:
AMD quad core processor
16GB Ram
5 hard drives, installing on a 500GB drive
The thing I can't figure out is that syslinux doesn't give me a choice to install to a specific hard drive so I'm not sure how I'm messing up the install. I also tried both the dev and uuid method of referring to my hard drives. This is really stumping me.

Sorry if I wasn't clear about the error. I said I installed syslinux and i was still getting the grub error still. I figured out that the error was due to the order my hard drives were booting in. I had to try every single order. The reason I was so confused was that I had installed grub the time I switched the hard drive boot order and I used the /dev/sdxy reference so I still got the same error. I had assumed that since there was a boot order then if nothing was found on one drive then the other drive would boot up. What happened when I changed the boot order of the drives was that with two of the drives I'd just get a blinking cursor and the other two drives would have the grub error 15. Then I switched the drive order after a syslinux install and i got it going to busybox because my /dev/sdxy were wrong because I changed the boot order. So I installed using UUID and then my problem went away. I appreciate everyone's help in this matter.
Summary: UUID is better than /dev/sdxy for drive reference and it I needed to change the boot order of the drives(it would be nice if my bios called them what they were in the boot menu like it does in the summary screen).

Captivate 6: Can't get any JavaScript to work when published as SWF

Version 6.0.1.240
Windows 7 x64
I have a button with an action of "Execute JavaScript" and can't event get a simple alert("hello"); to work when published as SWF. I've tried publishing it with each of the different Flash Player versions. JavaScript works fine when published as HTML5.

@Erickj: Either do what Rod stated (adjusting your Flash Security settings) or test your content from a true web server. Flash automatically trusts content coming off a true web server where the web address begins with http or https and ends in .htm or .html.
The nice thing about Cp 7 is that it has a built-in web server so you don't run into issues like this when testing your content.

Can't get wireless keybord to work with Win XP

Hello,
I've installed Win XP SP2 on my iMac via Boot Camp and am having problems getting the Apple Wireless keyboard to connect. I did get the wireless mighty mouse to work by entering a passkey of "0000". For the keyboard, I've tried entering an 8 digit key and 16 digit key and also let Windows pick a key for me but nothing works. Initially the status would show that the keyboard is connected but then after a few seconds it will say there is no passkey or something to that effect, and the connection would then be lost.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get this to work?

Had problems with wireless keyboard, but have just got it working a second time. Might be worth trying.
1. You need a working mouse (either a USB, or the mighty mouse.)
2. I did try the method as described in the bootcamp guide, but I don't have a USB keyboard so got the computer to choose the passkey. The keyboard would initially connect, then lose the passkey.
Then I tried this
1. Run the same add bluetooth device program. Make sure it's in discovery mode (check the tabs).
2. Click add device and wait for keyboard to appear.
3. DON'T then click next. Instead right click the keyboard icon, click properties, one of the tabs has an option to download drivers. Tick this and click apply.
4. I was advised to reset, which I haven't, and haven't closed the bluetooth install program. The keyboard is now working.
I can only think it's something to do with working around the need for a paaskey, which seems to have caused some problems. Please let me know how you find this.

Can't get a remote to work for my 36AF41 TV! Any help please?

I recently purchased a model 36AF41 flat screen TV and it did not come with a remote. I have tried using my cable TV universal remote and 3 other brands of universal remotes and can not get any to work. Is there some trick to getting this to work or what? Am I doing something wrong, or does it only take the brand specific remote? And if so, where can I find one, because Toshiba doesn't even carry it anymore. Any help here is greatly appreciated!
