Case Lights`

My case is looking a little bare - naturally it needs some light!
So, I'm thinking blue. However I have a few questions. Are there tubes which change colour? How got to tubes get? Any recommended products and any I should avoid? How do I fasten them inside my case?
Thanks
Tom

The tubes don't get very hot. CCFL stands for Cold Cathode Fluorescent Light for a reason [that is to say, they stay a little above room temperature. it's like cold fusion works at around room temperature. hot in this case is... too hot to touch, ish]
One thing to keep in mind is that a single blue/red/green/white CCFL will light up an entire room from inside your case window. Two will be super bright. So if you plan on going to sleep with this thing in your bedroom, my advice would be to stick with just one cathode. You can always buy another if you think you need it.
UV lights are much dimmer, and if you have any UV reactive components (or want to buy some), that can make for some very cool effects, and you want two of those
Cheers

Windows does not fully shutdown--case lights and fans remain on

Hi all.
My computer (Win 7 64-bit) is not shutting down properly. When I click "Shut Down," Windows appears to carry out the shut down process, and the display then goes blank. But power to
my case persists; fans and LED lights remain on. I have no idea if this is even a hardware (motherboard, power supply, conflict) issue or software issue (OS, BIOS, etc). Any ideas how I can pinpoint/troubleshoot the problem?
I tried booting into safe mode and shutting down from there, but after a couple seconds the process then froze on the Windows Shut Down screen.
My system specs are:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3R-B3 (rev 1.x) (latest version of BIOS is installed)
BIOS: Latest for my motherboard (F9 I believe)
Processor: Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB DD3-1600 (4 x Kingston KHX1600C9D3K2)
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB WD10EZEX (brand new)
Power supply: 700W Stronger SPSN-070P
GPU: Radeon 6850
This is a fresh Windows install, and all Windows updates are up-to-date
Thanks in advance.

OK below my event logs for the shutdown process, from 2 different systems: the system with the shutdown issue (system 1) and a system with working shutdown (system 2). The broken system reports 1 error during shutdown:
The Superfetch service terminated with service-specific error The operation completed successfully..
I can share the details from the event viewer if you'd like, but it's a lot of gibberish. The most interesting would be:
[Name] Service Control Manager
[ Guid] {555908d1-a6d7-4695-8e1e-26931d2012f4
Unfortunately they are not identical systems They are both running Win 7 32 bit, but the broken system (system 1) has no Windows Updates and no extra software installed. The working system is up to date with Win updates, and has some more software
installed. I also have event log (*.evtx) files of each shutdown process, showing details.
Here are the full logs:

Hp envy 180 case light question.

hey hp i was looking at your hp envy phoenix 810 model, and was wondering have you thought about other colour lights for front case and fan, like blue or green future model pc?

Raptor106, welcome to the forum.
This is a peer to peer help forum. The only presence that HP has on it are the Admins and the Mods. Otherwise, none of us works for HP.
I am certain that HP would like to hear your suggestions if you wrote to them.
Personally, however, I like the red lights in my Phoenix 810.

What is the case that comes with the iPod?

I'm planning on getting a 30GB iPod but, this stupid company won't say what is in the box. I know it comes with a case. I was wondering if anyone had a picture of the case or could at least give me a brief description. If anyone could, I would greatly appreciate it.
All I know is, that this company really could care less about it's customers. I can't even contact them about this.
Thanks Again
hp pavilion a808x Windows XP

the 5th gen iPod comes with a small faux leather envelope-like case, light grey in color, that has a soft cotton-like interior. it has an opening in the top and is just large enough to hold the ipod. reminds me of one of those tiny wallets that will only hold a credit card. you slide the ipod in the top. while the ipod is in its case you cannot access the click-wheel, screen etc. basically you can't see the ipod.
if you're looking for a case that will protect the ipod while allowing you to use the interface, you will need to buy anouther one.

HDD LED Light **PLEASE HELP***

I am not sure what I did wrong, but my left case light (I believe called the HDD LED) keep going on and off. I don't know if this is a healthy situation for the computer or not... Is this light suppose to be steady at all times? Why is it blinking every few seconds?
Please help with your knowledge,
Thanks in advanced!!!

Use the HDDs on the primary IDE channel. One Master One Slave. On the secondary channel mount the DVD as master and the CD rom as slave.
Yes if you have a window open for browsing and a MP3 playing in the background you are likely to have some HDD activity.
If you turn those off and still get activity then disconnect from the internet if you are on Dialup or remove the Ethernet cable if you are on High Speed connect. If the lED goes out after a while then it is likely that you are infected or have a serious spyware issue. It does not matter if you are on a clean install. If the modem was hooked up during your install it only takes four seconds to become found and infected these days on the internet if your firewall was not up or and you had a connection to the internet.

My Unofficial K8t Neo Guide

Disclaimer: You try any and all troubleshooting at YOUR OWN RISK!!
Here is my unofficial guide to the K8t Neo fisr2 If you Like It give it a thumbs up so it will stick out. I will warn you it is long and I will edit off and on.
to add as needed.
first I'll start off with components,
CASE..you will need an atx case with good cooling a few extra fans like a blowhole at the top can help cooling, also bundle cables and power leads
so that they don't interfere with airflow.
MOTHERBOARD,...This is based on the K8TNEO series, when you attach it to your case make sure that is is mounted to risers to keep it from contacting case, they are usually small brass pins, also make sure that all the mounting screw are secure and in place, this will prevent the PCB from flexing and cracking as you install components, there should be around 9 or so screws, that usually go into the riser pins or raised case mounting points,don't forget to use those fiber or plastic insulated washers. These should be the only case contact point to the mobo other then the back plate with all the usb, net jacks etc..
Also use all of the mount points you can..if not you can crack mobo putting in cards etc...
CPU...Athlon64 processor2800+, 3000+, 3200+, or a 3400+, all 754 pin chips...k8neo CAN NOT USE FX chips or Opterons. 3200,&3000 are basically the same chip, same clockspeed of 2.0 ghz but the l2 cache is different 3200 1mb...3000 512k, you may not notice the difference in many applications but will see 2~10% diff in benchmark testing, the 3000 is usually about $75 cheaper
the 2800 is a newer model an a good way to get into 64bit without high cost.
PSU.... one of the most overlooked and most important component,
that old 300 watter you have from your old duron 800 don't even try.PSU's have caused a lot of trouble with a64 systems, they use a lot of power Get a good name brand psu if you can, and make sure it is at least 400 watts and has at the minimum of 20a on 12v, also look at combined total wattage
the psu must have a 20 pin connector and a 4 Pin( Square) Connector, and there is Only 1, Called the+12V 4 Pin Processor Connector.
some of the recommended brands are enermax,and antec.
Here is the reason most problems are the psu
amd64 uses 12v power, Intel chips used a lot of 5v power.
so until now most big psu's pushed 5 v not 12v
almost everything in your computer uses 12v except ram (3.3V)
AMD 64 and motherboard =12a @12V
so your already at 12A with no fan,s no hd, no CD,no DVD ,no mobo chip-set , no mem, no sound..etc
so what happens is your mem gets starved for power and then gives out errors,in your data, which = corrupt sata,or it fails to post. .
MEMMORY...Another big trouble spot,not just with the MSI board but with Via chip-set, and or the A64 memory controller.
DDR non ecc- single channel 400 is baseline although slower chips also work, The CPU's memory unit only supports 4 banks total so in order to use three sockets at least two of the memory sticks have to be 1 bank,.one bank or two bank chips look similar so check specs, dual bank chips usually have chips on the back as well. mem should match type and speed. if you run into problems try going into bios and limiting ram to 333.mem should match type and speed.
(edited out till i find more info [STRIKEOUT] if using two mem sticks it is best to use slots 1 and 3,[/STRIKEOUT])
edit :ok tiresmoke just replied so have a look. "One thing that often does not get addressed. I had a couple Blue Screens early on. Here is how I fixed it. I run my RAM in sockets 1 and 3. 1 and 2 gave a little instability.Yes I decided to keep mine in slot 1/3 but I did test in 1/2 since I changed Bios. Typically slot 1/3 can slow you down but it did not with mine so best to say that difference RAM will give different symptoms. Try combinations to find what works best for you."
LOL Keep in mind that Jocko uses 3 sticks of dual bank RAM and according to AMD they only support 4 banks total. Jocko has 6 so you do the math.
you can check msi's website for compatible ram, but be careful it can be confusing,
they list by part numbers,
but some known configurations that work are:

you may have to email you mem manufacturer and manually set timings and voltages to get your memory working.
HARD DRIVES......Here you have alot of choices, basically two categories, SATA and PATA(IDE). There are many brands and speeds, IDE drives come in different speeds, such as ata33, ata66, ata 100, ata 133 for hard drives, the 33,100,133, being theoretical maximum transfer rating MB/sec.
newer ata(IDE)hard drives are ata100 which is ultra 5, and ata133 ,ultra6 is ,
PIO mode is the standard data transfer mode without the ultra enhancements, the fastest being 16.66 mb/sec. ultra 2 is 33 mb/sec . So when i say my CD,DVD, and DVD are ultra 2 it means they transfer at a maximum of 33 mb/sec, and my Maxtor hardrives are ultra 6 and have a maximum transfer of133 mb/sec. my old zip100 transfers at a max of 16 mb/sec since its in pio mode. Note these are maximum speeds, my hardrive transfers more like 65 mb/sec sustained according to SIS Sandra.
That is why SATA 150 is such a big deal, vs say a Western digital ata100
SATA is a different interface all together and can transfers closer to its maximum
theoretical speed. BUT the pci bus itself is limited to 133 mb/sec so an add-on card
should never be able to reach over 133, regardless, of SCSI,IDE, or SATA
so on the k8t neo you have some choices. With the IDE you can use, IDE1,2, or 3
IDE1&2 are ata100. ) to attach use a 80pin round or flat cable, the first slot goes into the mobo, the middle connector is for a slave or should be left empty, use the end for master, or single drive. you must also setup jumpers for hd or cds.
The master is primary unit and the slave is secondary unit, for each channel.
Or use the Cable Select jumper and USUALLY the BIOS will select the drive for you.
IDE1 & 2 is ata100, or 133 depending on board if using for only 2 drives put them on different channels
...ie master on IDE 1, and master on IDE 2 . that way they will have maximum bandwidth. especially for disk to disk copies or burning
IDE3 RAID is ata133, or can be raid 0 or 1 by the promise chip. 0 being striped for performance,1 being mirrored for safety, mirror only protects hd from failure,not viruses,or corruption for that you need a backup or as i prefer a drive image program such as accronis trueimage..linux compatible.and Norton ghost.you will first have to enable the promise chip in the bios, then you have to load drivers by hitting F6 during windows installation, and insert floppy drive, yes you will need a floppy, at least for initial setup. If you want to set up raid you will have to do that first before loading windows,by hitting ctrl+F (read quick user's guide Serial ata raid, serial ata) only hd's can use ide3.If you don't have enough IDE slots you can add on pci card with one or two more headers for up to 4 more drives, I added a Maxtor ultra ata133, since i have 5 idehd's and 3 DVD/cds.
SATA, here you have two choices, use the Promise chip set or the Via. Either one or both can be set to raid0 or 1, see users guide to setup, You will also have to enable them first in bios, and F6 and load floppy drivers to use in windows install, or load drivers in windows if using an existing install. either chip-set can be set for raid, in the manual, opinions are that the Via is faster, but you wont have a HD LED activity indicator light, The promise will have a HD light, but is slightly slower.
Also note that SATAs don't OC as well as IDE hard drives, they can even crash and loose data.
always make a backup of your computer, and remember raid 1 does nothing for virus, or contaminated installs.
SOUND....Here you have a few choices, On board or Card, unfortunately not both, yet.(UPDATE Bios Version 1.5 and above will fix this)... If using a card there have been some issues with Audigy 1 cards, but there may be a cure in this threadhttps://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=46849&sid=( Moved to stickies) audigy2 and 2zs cards work fine as do turtle beach.
on-board sound is not as high definition and uses some CPU cycles, so a card might be advantageous to gamers.
REALTEK GIGABIT...Is the on-board Ethernet, you will need to load drivers once in windows, it has caused some problems booting, as it can be set to a boot device as well. you will get a message "failed to boot press any key."..then "ntdlr error"...to fix this you may need to hit the key combination during boot to set it up, it will bring you to a menu, you need to set boot order, i recommend setting it to bios, and you can adjust or disable message and time length it is displayed.
VIDEO CARDS- You should install an agp 8x directx9 video card for best performance. Ati has better directx support so is better for gaming, but Nvida has better OpenGL so if you want to do 3d in Linux, you have better luck with Nvida.
When you set up windows, install via 4-1 drivers first, then the video drivers, check video manufacturer's website for updated drivers. make sure any extra power leads are plugged in. In bios Agp should be fast write enabled, and
if you are using 1024 of ram aperture size to 256, but check 3dmark to see which setting is faster.
BIOS- NO BIOS INSTALLED This is a message that you see during boot up from the promise on-board raid saying that it found no drives attached to its SATA or IDE channels so it's not installed the BIOS.This IS NOT a problem or anything to worry about!
jumping Bios reset jumper, be careful, make sure power is off. jump it and return it to the original position. If you power on with jumper in reset position you can erase your bios...requiring a Return to Manufacturer Authorization(RMA)
I have had no problems using windows updating to the latest bios ,It cured some issues, such as firewire ports, sound blaster audigy1 troubles,tweaked temps displayed,and so on. but be sure to have a backup of original bios disk. I have heard new 1.8 beta bios cures Newcastle temp problems.
some good settings are.. SMART enabled this will warn you of hard disk failure,System bios cacheble and shadow ram are more for older computers and should be set to disable.boot to os2- disable...memory setting vary by card and some even need to be set manually so check with manufacturer or get familiar with cmos reset jumper.(just be sure to have power off)...plug and play os to disable(more of a win 98 thing) disable serials and parallel ports if you don't need them, as with on-board sound firewire etc. this is just a few pointers the rest is a more personal thing, but i have heard turbo setting causes problems and is best left to fast, and dynamic oc'ing is similar use at your own risk
USB keyboard don't forget to enable USB in the BIOS. This caused some problems when installing XP. Without USB enabled in BIOS when you come to the "Hit any key to proceed" the install will fail with the ntldr error
POWER SAVINGS...Having trouble getting fans or case lights to shut off on standby set to S3, then disable apm, and be sure to set a wakeup event..such as wake from usb, or keyboard command. I have agp boot disable, but depends on card.
Want to know more about bios, and what those settings are? click this link
http://www.rojakpot.com/(eb1mg5zatgcf5r55lv5no155)/default.aspx?location=9
CORE CENTER....Another personal choice, I like it and use it a lot, to increase and decrease fsb without going through bios. the NB fan sensor should read 0 unless you plug a fan onto it, personally i have an 80mm antec and it doesn't read it, but i tried a old CPU fan and it worked fine.
COOL AND QUIET Another personal choice, I don't use it because some people have had there CPUs power down in the middle of games, and such
(it goes down to 800 MHz) others had small bugs in there system that went away when they disabled it. But some like it and use it a lot. Good for energy savings.
want to get your boot time down
start by selecting OS drive as first in boot sequence, you can always change bios when you want to boot from floppy or CD(which isn't often).disable floppy drive seek
then clean out your startup folder under rt click explore start button.
try and get services set to auto down to about 25. defrag your hdrive routinely,
. ditch wall paper, and get rid of windows startup screen.(msconfig,boot.ini.and check noguiboot). keep your drivers updated
if you can find it you can use then try bootvis, but microsoft doesn't support it anymore.Programs ..some useful free utilities are listed below, check goggle, until i make links for them.

HOME NETWORKING I will add this part because of additional posing of errors
dealing with USB Broadband routers...try using on board realtek or other Ethernet connection it will save your sanity.
well i have a real poor mans router setup for you
2 Ethernet slots, one for for broadband router and one to share.
if you only want one other computer, use a crossover cable, otherwise, use a hub or switch(better) and let Internet connection wizard and home networking on your machines work their magic,want a firewall download some software there are even, fairly decent free ones.the speed of the card isn't important because broadband still isn't over 10mb/sec yet, so blow the dust off that card in the closet and put it to work.or if your really brave or really cheap you can try to use the usb input from broadband, and on board ether, or firewire port, to link computers
Trouble shooting
for total no boot/post failure
I know you may know how to build a computer, and i know this is basic, so bear with me here, but at this point you have to do a methodical by the book check list.
revision
A: when you first install your motherboard make sure it does not contact case,
use all nine mounting points, make sure that your case either has built in risers, or use the small brass standoffs, and don't forget the fiber washers.
when you installed your CPU you:
1 ___you properly handle equipment so no static damage can occur, (properly grounded)
2____.you fully lift the CPU ziff socket arm up, orient the gold triangle marking arrow,pins and it easily dropped into socket, with no bent pins ,
3 ___ backer plate mounted carefully no missing pieces of the board flying off, ( i have seen people launch capacitors, and the like )
4 ____obviously you removed the plastic thermal pad cover, and heatsink was evenly locked down, and fully seated, and correctly plugged into mobo cpufan1.
and you fully removed old thermal pad/grease and applied new artic silver, or new heatsink with plastic on pad,you didn't reuse old paste or pad.
memory
5 _____memory stick(not sticks, at this point you just want to get it working, not full blast with a gig of ram etc)is fully seated and properly oriented in slot, and is 184 pin ddr non-registered , non ecc ram , and you have tried different non corsair, non twinmoss, brands that have been known to work. and/ or
tried to set manually mem speed/voltage for some models of corsair, twinmoss, and kingston)
6.____ plug in only power switch pins 6,8and power led to jfp1, pins 2,4 and they are turned correctly,
7. ____your new psu has the 20 pin and square 4 pin power connector plugged in to jpw1 turned right and fully seated. and has a bare min of 18a on 12v+ rail.
8 ____your video card is fully seated an locked down,also securely screwed in.
9 ____your floppy drive cable iss facing right way (pin1 is matched with red stripe)
10. ____you have ata cables for hd and CD set to master/slave or cs. with hard drive set as master, end of cable.
11 _____the power plugs are all fully seated, including psu rear plug,floppy ,hd, and CD.
12. _____keyboard(ps2) and mouse plugged in, monitor plugged into video card,
13 ______every thing is fully secured in case, side cover is off.
14 ______CMOS jumper is set 1,2 keep data, all usb stuff is unplugged, except for dbracket.
power it up, one beep, fans spin, in psu and CPU, and video card,
you get no bios found error,(promise adapter not finding satas..no worries)
or hit Del to go into bios, set boot order, and .......
.........your now at the end of the road, and it should by all means work,
now what i am after,
there are no bent pins, on CPU, you reapplied artic silver paste.
no loose wires,
properly applied heat sink with fan cooling,
you have tried different brands of known ,to work in an MSI k8tneo
ddr ram 1 stick at a tme.
you have tried different video cards, and in case of higher end card, the external molex power supply as plugged in,
you have tried different ata hard drives
you then have tried have set up your SATA drive correctly .
everything is securely plugged in ..fully seated and oriented the right way?
what are d-bracket error light, and any beep codes?
you have tried a different wall outlet, you have changed surge protectors,
you never hot plugged video cards, hd cables or power etc.
i know this redundant , and basic , it is not meant to be insulting , it is meant to be a checklist and rule out all basic errors and potential problems
if your mem bandwidth is slower then 3000..like 2400 this may help
Received from a user - Slow memory 1T Command fix
OK, here's what to do. Download the following ftp://ftp.vector.co.jp/pack/win95/hardware/other/wpcrs120.exe extract it, and run InstDD.exe. It'll ask to reboot, you don't need to do it right away, at least I didn't have to. Fire up WPCRSET.exe and do the following. Under startup, click on start, and under device, click enable. Now click add. The bus device and function will be 0,24, and 2. The register and data values will be the 93,08. There we have it! Enjoy everyone. I know I'm much happier now.
Here's a graphic to make it easier:
I will add more by edit, or post as needed but i should post now so it can be put to use.
I would like to Thank BAS,wonkaboy, Jocko, ethereal, Tiresmoke, Reilly, and the many others whose valued input helps solve problems.

amd 64=12a @12V

so your already at 18a with no fan,s no hd, no cd,no dvd ,no mobo chipset , no mem, no sound..etc
If you exclude the motherboard, memory, etc like you did there, the amd 64 draws 7.2A @ 12V.

Looking for an E-Reader

I run a book review blog, and while I don't usually review e-books, I've noticed that most of my review requests (from authors or independent publishers) are offering digital only. In the past I've used free programs such as Kindle for PC and Adobe Digital Editions. I tend to prefer the Kindle program, but it doesn't accept all formats (PDF), so I'm stuck with either a converted mess or using Adobe for some books. But I've decided it's time for a change - it's time for an e-reader. Honestly, I'm kinda leaning towards a Kindle at the moment. I've used the PC software for about a year now, and other than the PDF issues (which I don't know if there's a better option) I don't have any huge problems. I already have a lot of free books downloaded, and I'm sure I'll run across other freebees regularly. Plus my library already offers a large selection of e-books in the Kindle format! So here's my checklist: - Price - Not able to spend tons right now. - Weight/Size - Not a huge issue for me, actually. - Ease-of-Use - I'm pretty tech-savvy, so unless it's a nightmare to use, I should be fine. - Loyalty/Format - I'm not really loyal to one company over another. But when it comes to formats, how much of a pain is it going to be getting the right book format? - Memory - I'm not planning on replacing my library, this will be primarily for review requests that aren't available in print. - Touch or Not? - Is touch worth it for ease? Or is it a stress headache waiting to happen if it gets scratched? - Durability - Along the same lines as above, I'm pretty careful with my things and I'm not typically clutzy, but will I need a force-field around this thing? - Gadgets - I don't need tons of bells and whistles, but I won't turn them down either. Not really looking at 3G, video, or net-browsing, though music might be a plus... - Extras - Do I need to budget in for extras to get full use out of this? I don't foresee a need for an adapter, but will I need/want a case, light, etc.? Any help?

To be honest, you are better off using a computer and this software:
http://calibre-ebook.com/
It will convert ebook formats...if you buy a reader, you are committed to that environment. WIth the above and a computer, you can install the PC version of your favorite ereader and use the software to convert other formats to it.

865PE Neo2-PFISR problems after power outage

I need some help with a problem. A recent power outage while my supposedly "surge protected" 865PE Neo2 based machine was running, apparently messed something up. After our power came back on, I powered it back up and discovered that I now have 4 ongoing problems. Problem 1) it now hangs twice during the boot process, once at "auto detect 3rd master - press escape to abort", which if I then press ESC, it then moves to "auto detect 3rd slave - press escape to abort" and hangs there until I press ESC, at which time it then finishes booting like normal. (by the way, I don't even have any 3rd master or 3rd slave installed) Problem 2) I can no longer enter the Bios setup, even though I press the DEL key at the appropriate time. Problem 3) The case light for hard drive activity stays on constantly, even though the drive seems to be working normally without any other problems. Problem 4) A few issues here. My sata dvd/cd combo drive is no longer recognized as being installed; the activity light on the drive is constantly on even though the drive is not running; the drive bay will no longer open.
I'm guessing that something has possibly been damaged on the motherboard or maybe the bios was affected somehow, or maybe the power supply was somehow damaged. Either way, I'm not sure what to do now. With the exception of the problems I listed, my system otherwise works normally as it always has, with the only real downside being that I don't currently have a dvd/cd drive. I haven't tried any troubleshooting myself because I'm not sure where to look or what to look for. The specs for my system are listed in my signature, with the only change being that I'm still running the original Antec 350w power supply that came with the case. I could sure use some expert advice and help with this.

Problem Update.
Well, I finally got my machine up and running "almost" as good as it was before my power surge problems. Thank you to everyone that responded with advice. I ended up replacing the Antec 330w TruePower psu with the new Enermax Noisetaker 420w (EG425P-VE SFMA V2.0) that I had, and I had to replace the MSI sata combo drive (went with a Pioneer 710 DVD-RW, which is an excellent unit) and now things are back to normal. Plus, I bought an APC 650VA/390watt battery backup with soft shutdown to help prevent any power outage problems again.
When I said "almost" as good as new, that is because this morning when I booted up, all I got was a black screen (no post) for a couple of minutes, and then a message appeared that approximately said "the dram timings are too tight, reload timings", or something like that. Well, since the timings have never been changed, I'm not sure what is going on, but after turning it off and then re-powering it up again, it booted (though slowly at first) and I've just been letting it run all day. Ha, just when I was ready to venture into OCing this rig. Think I will anyway. If the problem continues, I'll be back seeking helpful advice again.

Hi JeffPH & Friends
I am happy to say I writing this on wireless lan (micro soft 510) with lites blinking and Blue neon case light, great light show, nice side view case for $40.00 dollars/with power supply 425 watts, maxtor 60 gig ata, mushkins 3500 black, retail 3.0 /800mhz Intel,leadtek geforce4 TI4200 winfast A280Le tdh,cambrige5.1 surround speakers, MSi bios version 1.2(stock ), windows 2000 professional/with current updates. A tripple boot hard drive Redhat 9.0 or Mandrake 9.1 or Windows 2000 pro. linux just comes up in shell have not updated video drivers yet in system config. but Im not much of xwindows guy anyway... Anway this stock system is pretty stable in either OS ... I am a-fear-ed to upgrade bios as I do have a working and functional computer that screams. guess I will just hide and wait ... a lot little tweaking to do. system went togeater pretty easy. Thanks for all the help! gonna let this burn-in a while

MacBook Display Cleaning

Hello,
I recently purchased the iKlear Travel Wipes Kit to use in cleaning my screen. I followed the instructions exactly and did result in screen smearing which (after researching on these forums), was resolved by vigorously buffering the screen with the included Blue Chamois cloth in the kit.
Now that my screen is back to normal, is there ANY other product on the market (particularly in Canada) which is available to clean the glossy MacBook display without the result of buffer-able residue streaking? A product which possibly just comes right off without so much effort as required with iKlear Polish?
Thanks.

I use to clean my screen using micro fiber streak free wipes.
I try not to touch my screen, so what on the screen is mostly dust that is easily wiped out with dry cloth above.
But for smudge oil or finger print on the screen, I damp the fabric lightly by spraying water to the fabric (never spray anything right to the screen). And wipe it clean.
For some oily mark that water cannot erase, I either spray iklear or windex glass (not recommended but work well on my case) lightly on that damp cloth and wipe it one more time. And it makes my screen crystal clear as new.
Good Luck.

Use of a pic with transparency in the book module and keep the transparency?

Hi.
Let's see if I can explain my question, I'm not an experienced user of either PS or LR (and not in the english language either)
I have edited a picture in PS and cut out a part of it and pasted the part in a new layer and then set the opacity of the background to 0%.
Then I saved the pic in PSD format and imported it to LR to be used in the book module. When I then use the pic and attache it to the book the pic have a white background.
What I want is that only the cut out part is shown in the book and the rest of the area of the picture frame is in the same color as the color of the pages (in my case light yellow).
Is it possible to do what I want to do and if it is, how do I do?

PelleC wrote:
The HEX FEEAAF in PS have a perfect match (for my eyes) to HEX FDEA9E in LR, the difference might indicate that I'm not using ProPhoto RGB working space inside PS. How do I check this (or how do I open a new Background with this setting)?
I get the same results when using an sRGB color profile image. Notice the LR background color at the Top and Bottom of the page below is slightly different than the image file. Both PS and LR Backgrounds were set to FEEAAF, so we have confirmed this is the issue!
When you open an image inside PS Using 'Edit in PS' from LR it uses your LR 'External Editing' Preferences settings. Set your LR's Preferences as below:
If you are using File> Open from inside PS you can check the file's color profile using Edit> Convert To Profile and select 'Destination Space' >RGB > ProPhoto RGB. In the image file used below it is already using ProPhoto RGB (i.e. Source Space).
Your PS Working Color Space should be set to ProPhoto RGB with warnings enabled using Edit> Color Settings as shown below from inside PS.

PC froze then died

My PC had been working fine for several hours till I tried to sort out a problem with a silent front speaker. The front right speaker (5.1 system) sometimes stops working but can usually be fixed by repositioning or reinserting the plug in the onboard audio module - something that I have often done in the past with this and the previous MB ( I assume that there is a poor connection in the lead or plug)
On this occasion after I had reinserted the plug, the PC froze and was completely unresponsive. I rebooted but there was no boot up sequence - the monitor remained completely blank with no codes at the bottom right of the screen. I tried rebooting again but there was no response to the Reset or Start buttons either on the case or on the MB. I could only stop and start by using the on/off switch
The PSU seems to be ok - the case lights come on, as do all fans and a HDD spins up (the OS is on an SSD)
The only light that comes on on the MB is this BIOS indicator. I've tried switching to the Green BIOS but the only difference is that with this the PC switches off after about 30 secs whereas with the main blue Bios it stays on until I use the main off switch
I've disconnected all peripherals apart from the KB and mouse and cleared the CMOS but without success.
Something seems to have died but I'm not sure what or why. Any suggestions please?

here are the main suspects
if you have another stick of RAM that you know is working you could try that! <--- worth a try just on the off chance that the Memory has gone BAD!
PSU may have gone bad possibly! <--- try another if you can
Motherboard may have just given up and died from a fault on it! <--- this is possible as a motherboard is very complex so there are many parts that can go wrong!
last suspect is your CPU has given out! <--- Rare but can happen

Recolor an image in Photoshop CS5

Hi there,
For my webshop www.hippehoesjes.com I want to recolor a picture of a iPhone 4 from White to Light-Blue.
You can see the image in the attachment. How do I make the iPhone case Light-Blue from White?
Thanks in advance for your comments

Try disabling OpenGL drawing in preferences. If that works, it means you need to update your video card driver.
Also make sure you are running the latest version of Photoshop CS5 (12.0.1).

Doubt in reuse_alv display feature

Hi all,
I'm using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY fm to display some data. In transactions like SE16N, there is a download to excel macros (EXPORT) button present in the ALV.

Turn on system everything lights up and comes on as far as fans and the 4lights on the MB. No sounds or beeps and nothing on the screen. The HDD light does not blink but is on as a static light.. a red light on the front of the case, could just be the power light.. i'm not sure really. I reset the CMOS, I tried it with ONLY 1 ram stick and bare essential hardware(mouse, keyboard, monitor)... still same thing.
Ideas ?

Well i just went over everything again and noticed the big fan on the Powersupply was not running.... so i'm suspecting a bad power supply. Is it possible for the PS to have fans & lights on, on t he motherboard yet not be bad and not power the system? the case lights up and fans turn on(in case) but the system doesnt boot.
Would this be the powersupply since the Fan on the PS is not on ?
Gonna return it and try a different brand.
Thats where i would start as it seems a power supply problem
