CR52-M Installation Advice wanted

I bought a brand-new internal CR52-M CD-R/RW unit from Ebay, but after I replaced my old CD-Rom driver with it, and restarted my computer, my system won't either recognise the new unit, or give me the message that "Windows has detected new hardware, etc" so I can install a new driver for it.
Although it will eject / insert a CD, it won't read nor run it.
{1} How do I get my system to recognise the CR52-M so I can install the appropriate driver for it?
{2} I got no installation disc or any other manual, etc, with the CR52-M, so where can I download the appropriate driver software so I can use the thing?
{3} What burner utility would be best for use with the unit?
{4} and will my existing system actually work the damn thing ?
My existing system is a "Viglen" genie 2, 3.3gb with lotsa free memory, 256Mb Ram, 400Mhz, P.II. running Windows 98se.
Any advice or help would be really appreciated, Thanks,

is the cdrw on the same ide cable as hard drive if it is set jumper on rear of cd unit to slave, if its using its own ide cable eg not connected on the same cable as hard drive then it should be set to master,
nero 6 will work and can be found on ebay for £7 - £8
or easy cd creator 6 also found on ebay for about £8 or less
cd drivers are for getting the cd to work in dos and are no use in windows.

I had all my software, including my ‘Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium’ removed from my MacPro (OSX 10.10.2) by a Computer technician after I had inadvertently installed some malware.
Now I can’t reinstall my CS4 because the installer software wants me to identify the product from which I am upgrading, but mine isn’t on the list. The old product from which I am upgrading is called ‘Adobe Design Collection’. Furthermore, it has 4 serial numbers (one each for Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat and Illustrator), not just one, as the installer requires.
I know this can be done, as I have had it working for a long time. Am I doing something wrong now?

Contact support be web chat and have them generate a working temporary serial/ challenge code for the install.

Thanks for your help Jeff. When I put serial# in, it won't except it.... I think it wants to see a previous version in my pc because my serial is for an upgrade, but when it put in a serial# for version cs5 it still wont except. Do you think i have to install cs5 first (which is also an upgrade).. which will require that I put in version cs4 etc,.etc., etc.
Do you know how I can get into an chat with Adobe.Thats what i had to do last time I installed CS6 in my desktop PC.

German localization of SP2 Installer - I want my zipped-jar-distr ibution back!

Hi,
did anyone try this fancy installation software for the WL6.0 Service
Pack 2? Actually I would prefer the old WL5.1 way of distributing a
service pack (zip file with a readme and lot's of jars) instead of this
piece of software. The localization is really bad, the texts do not fit
the dialogues, german umlaute (ä,ü,ö) don't work, hey, this is Java,
isn't it? Why don't these guys use Unicode?
During installation I always get the error message 'Der Pfad des BEA
Basisverzeichnisses ist' ('The path of the BEA root dir is'). Is what?
Seems the important point is missing :-)
Can I download a non-exe-file installation routine somewhere? Something
really oldfashioned which lets me put my installation exactly like I
want it to be where I want it to be?
Thanks
Daniel

Hi Bertrand,
this is what I was afraid of when about half a year ago Michael Gridley
mentioned that WL6.0 would have this kind of 'convenient' installer. The
old system needed some time unil one would get used to it, but the only
problem I ever heard of was that real java novices would run into
problems with classpath settings. Beside that it was clear, transparent
and did not make too many (probably wrong) assumptions on the
installation environment.
Now we've got this black box of an installer which is probably good for
marketing but from my point of view not a gain from a developer's
perspective.
I really hope that WL6.1 will have an installation mode which proves
this negative view wrong.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi,
I'm a french developer and I experienced such poorly localization too.
Actually, the french-localized option does not work at all. We must
choose
the english localization in order the installation program to work.
Beside, the english-localized program works fine.
So far, so bad...

Advice wanted: Should I upgrade to iLife '11 on my iMac that has Aperture?

David Pogue just mentioned that iLife '11 supposedly has some kind of incredible slide show feature that turns your slides into some kind of movie trailer.
Now I don't normally do slide shows so haven't used them much in either iPhoto or Aperture. So rather than wasting all kinds of time experimenting, I figured I'd come here first for some advice.
OK, now, I have two machines: a MacBook Air with iLife '11 and an iMac with iLife '09.
The iMac (my main machine) also has Aperture 3.1 on it. In your opinion, is it worth the $50 to upgrade iLife '11 (remembering that I already have it on the MacBook Air)? Or should I just be happy using iLife '09/Aperture to generate slide shows?
And will the incredible feature Pogue is talking about make me want to use iLife '11 on my iMac so much that I will want to avoid the hassle of transferring photos to my Air every time I want to use the slide show? Does Aperture do or have something plug-ins that does something comparable to what iLife '11 does?
What do you guys think?

slide show feature that turns your slides into some kind of movie trailer.
That's in iMovie.
Personally, I don't see the point. But you have the thing on your MBA, so explore for yourself is the best advice.

Bcache setup advice wanted

Hello World
I have been tinkering with mine SDD-HDD setup with Bcache.
And i was wondering if i did it right ???
Mine Idea was to have a 90GB SDD for quick root access.
And use the rest of the SSD with Bcache to speedup files from the HDD.
Any advice or tweaks are welcome.. and if needed i can put mine whole install wikipage here. (VERY LARGE)
But its 100% SSH install friendly with copy and past commands
Here is a Bcache mounting part of mine private wikipage.
==== Mount the partitions ====
cd ~/
mkdir -p /mnt/install
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/install
mkdir -p /mnt/install/{boot,home,srv,data,var,mnt/.hdd}
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/install/boot
mount /dev/bcache0 /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd
mkdir -p /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd/{home,srv,data,var}
mount -o bind /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd/home /mnt/install/home
mount -o bind /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd/srv /mnt/install/srv
mount -o bind /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd/data /mnt/install/data
mount -o bind /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd/var /mnt/install/var
==== Bcache Check After mounting ====
Reason for /boot on the HDD is because of boot up failure because of HDD spin-up.

For one, forget the SoundBlaster Audigy. You're more likely to have more pain and heartache with it...
Most likely you are going to want to try the Ultragain on one of your optical interfaces. The Emu card says it supports optical ADAT and I believe your Event Ez8 does as well, but I'm not 100% sure on that. If you're multitracking you would only get up to 10 tracks (or 12 if the spdif counts too) per record session (@44.1kHz or 48kHz) from the Emu+Ultragain, but that should be enough in most cases. With the Ez8 I think you only get 8 tracks. Since you can only use one ASIO driver at a time and there is probably no way to sync them, your best bet would be to use one PCI card (Emu) and leave the rest out of the system...
You may be able to use the EzBus as a MIDI controller, but you'd have to get advice from others on that one. I just never really use MIDI controllers in my setups. It would make a really nice 2 track interface for a laptop though...

IBook Blueberry Installation advice

I need some advice on an iBook 20Gb HDD 256Mb system running OS9. I am wondering which version of OSX can I run without any problems and if I can install an Airport card in it for wireless networking. If I can then how is the card installed.
Many thanks

Hi maverick08,
After you have taken into consideration the previously posted advice, if you still intend to upgrade, here is some additional info.
I'm including the Tiger information, just for the sake of completeness. Though, Kappy posted, it is not supported for your Mac model.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Jaguar and Panther, are no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
If you know what to look for, Jaguar Full Retail CDs, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Jaguar and Panther are only on CDs, not DVDs.
The discs should look like the images in the above links.
Additional info in these links.

Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
Once Jaguar 10.2.x is installed, you can use the 10.2.8 Combo Update,
or if Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version of either OS.
If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that. And then use the PPC 10.4.8 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Jaguar System Requirements
-Power Mac G3 or G4, iMac, eMac, PowerBook G3 or G4, or iBook computer
-128MB of physical RAM
-Supports all video cards shipped by Apple on Mac OS X-compatible systems. Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video cards: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Ti; Any AGP-based ATI RADEON card. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required.
-QuickTime Pro functionality requires a QuickTime 6 Pro key. The QuickTime 5 Pro key will not work after this software is installed.
-DVD Player requires a DVD-ROM equipped Macintosh with built-in FireWire.

Bootcamp installation advice?

I have ordered a Mac Pro and intend to create a dual boot Windows XP / MAC OSX 10.5.2 when it arrives next week.
I plan to take the two existing SATA drives out of my G5 and replace the factory installed SATA in the Mac Pro, meaning that I won't have to go through the hassle of reinstalling all of my software and work.
However, I wanted to ask if using Bootcamp will mean that I have to format one of my existing drives so that it can create a partition?
Any other general advice would be appreciated - I have been through these forums and looked at the Mac help files, but it seems to be pot luck as to whether it works without a hiccup or not!
TIA

Your new Mac Pro may have a later build of OS X. The only issues are in using Migration Assistant. But that is another topic. One thing, you eventually need to format your drives to GUID from what they are now.
Keep the OEM for your boot drive. Try booting from your G5 system. Pick up a new drive to merge and migrate to.
You can install Windows on its own drive with BootCamp Assistant. Personally, I think you'll be better off with 64-bit Vista Ultimate -

Need Installation Advice

I want to install Leopard Server onto a Mac Pro currently running Leopard with many accounts, groups, and shared folders with various permission settings...but I'm afraid to.
Will an installation delete all of the accounts, groups, and permissions that I've already created?
If so, is there a way to export this information and import it when the new system is installed?

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. From everything I've read, however, you can only do a clean "erase and install" or upgrade from a previous version of "server" software.
I've migrated all of the accounts to another machine, and everything is backed up, but I've decided to leave my "startup" disk alone and install the server software on a different drive. If I'm unsuccessful in migrating the accounts back, or recreating all of the accounts and permissions, I can always boot from my original startup disk until I figure out a better way.

Installation advice, Thinkpad 520, Ubuntu 11.10

I'm getting a Thinkpad with Intel+NVidia graphics.
Can anyone offer advice as to what to do during the initial install? Should I disable or enable the NVidea/Intel/Optimus graphics? I belive there is a BIOS option.
I have read about the Ironhide (former Bumblebee) project. Is it worth trying?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unless you want to venture down the bumblebee path, your best bet may be to simply set the Graphics Device to Discrete Graphics in the BIOS->Config->Display setting. Ubuntu 11.10 should install and run reasonably OK using a 32-bit kernel (see a recent thread about the W520 and 64-bit kernels). If you don't mind installing NVIDIA's drivers, you could try them. You'll likely get a bit better performance out of them, but then you have to deal with re-installing those drivers every time the kernel is updated. This Debian wiki page and some of it's child links have some good discussion on this topic would be a good place to read up: http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers You might run into this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/699802 if you have a separate /boot partition, but it should be easily worked around for now.

Advice wanted: do i need threads or not?Stuck!

Hi, everyone! I got stuck with little program I'm writing and need your advice desperately.
I am doing temperature conversion program. In short, it's an applet with two JTextFields and four panels. JTextFields belong to the applet. Two panels are derivatives from my class called BasicThermometer extends JPanel. I made this class as flexible as I could, and it can draw pretty thermometer with needed ticks and ticks' labels as needed.
So, I've put two BasicTherm-s into my applet representing Celsius and Fahrenheit therm-rs respectively.
Other two panels are derivatives from my GradientPanel extends JPanel. They have gradient painted background with red and blue colors.
OK, here my final goal. When user input temp. to be converted in either text field converted temp. appears in other text field and tungsten of each therm-r reacts accordingly (I did that).
I can not accomplish my other task. Tungsten of each therm. responds on mouse event, so the user can input temp. by dragging or clicking it on either therm-r.( It's reacting allright). I want the temperature appear in each textfield and other therm-r tungsten move accordingly. I am unable to determine wether I need threads in it and if I do, how to design them. Should it be one thread or two? I am very new to multithreading and everything there is still blur to me. Also I'd like my gradient panels to react by fading gradient or thicken it on red (upper) panel or blue(lower panel).
I already set it flexible, so it's not a problem if I only could coordinate all my events properly.
Any advice will be helpful for me. I mean, maybe I have to change something in my classes-subclasses. To create new constructors maybe? How to deliver events from one JPanel so that the applet knew and pass it to other JPanel (i.e. to other BasicThermometer) so to repaint it as I want.In my thinking there could be thread or two that constatly tested one or other therm-r (while GUI thread is idling) and pass results to applet's method which resets other therm-r. Yesterday I failed to make them work. They worked two rounds right after start() even though my permit was set to false in each of the thermometers, and then stopped and did not wake if I clicked on either therm (I tested them by passing messages to be displayed in DOS).
Well, I am very confused. Sorry for lengthy message.

Installation tomorrow -- want to use my own router with ONT-611

Tomorrow I am having Verizon FIOS installed (internet only, no TV or phone services). I've been reading this morning about using my own router, which I would prefer. Previous owners of the house had FIOS so there is already an ONT-611 hanging off the side of the house, and there is the battery backup box hanging inside the garage. Also, there is an ethernet cable already ran through the cinderblock wall which hangs inside my garage.
Now, here's what I've read:
1. This ONT-611 does not support MoCA
2. The ethernet port on the ONT-611 only runs at 100mbps
I have 16 runs of CAT6 in my house which terminates to a rack in my garage which houses a 24-port gigabit switch. I would like to swing one of those runs over to the existing ethernet cable so I can connect it to my router (a small linux computer which two NICs running shorewall). I'll have to figure out how to connect those cables (both are male RJ45)... otherwise, will this configuration be supported?
As I said, I will not have TV services and do not plan to subscribe in the future. Is there any reason why I would want to go with another configuration (aka use coax and the supplied actiontec?).
Thank you!

The link smith6612 provided has good info, but these are some things I can think of, and items I have done.
I would let Verizon do their supported install with the Actiontec router set up with Ethernet WAN. That is a supported install. This way you have their router should you have issues at a later date, you can put it back to the default configuration. After Verizon leaves, you can configure it as you wish. See if they will extend the cable from the ONT over to your rack. They probably will run a new cable for you. Put the Actiontec at your rack and connect one of its LAN ports to your switch until after the install. Then if you have your Linux PC in close proximity to two of your 16 outlets you could loop two of those those back to your rack. One to the router and one to your switch. Actually you could just use the router as a second switch if you turn off DHCP and connect one LAN port to the ONT and another LAN port to the cable going to your Shorwall's WAN. Many many ways. Shorewall WAN side would need to be configured properly for your ONT and FiOS set up. That is why I say let them do their thing first. Some of the older installs are still using PPPoE and some newer are DHCP. that would make a difference on how you configure your Linux box's WAN if it is directly connected to the ONT VIA the cable or a switch, which could just be the Actiontec without the WAN ports used. If you use the Actiontec as a switch directly off of the ONT, be sure to turn off DHCP and the WiFi first, and only use two lan ports. DON'T pull more than one public IP from the ONT.
I have had various configurations, and always Ethernet from the ONT. The original ONT 610 did not support MOCA and it had to be bridged from the Actiontec or a NIM-100. I have connected my Linux IP Cop with Dan's Guardian Proxy Filter directly to the ONT and used the Actiontec as a MOCA bridge for my TV services. Right now I have the Actiontec connected directly to the ONT first via Ethernet WAN, and have 2 DVRs, and 2 STBs for the TV. The Actiontec and TVs are considered The DMZ, with my Linux box called the moat. All my workstations and server sit behind the Linux proxy filter firewall. I set fixed IPs on my private network via MAC and DHCP, and the proxy is transparent. With exceptions on the filter for certain computers.
With my configuration, I can call with any issues and it is supported. Short of my Linux box and PCs. Which I don't want anyone into anyway. I have been thinking of putting the Linux box back in front, so I am not running dual NAT, but I need to have a supported platform for testing and using FiOS features. Thus I put the Actiontec back in front, and my stuff is safer behind the second NAT.

XP Quicktime Installer problem - wants 141MB??

Hi, I'm trying to install quicktime on an XP thin client from HP.
When I try to run the installer, it claims to need 141MB of free space, and only 132MB is available on the computer. It won't let me complete the installation due to this error.
However, the installer needing 141MB of space seems like a bug in the installer, especially when you consider the installer itself in less than 20MB!!
I need someone from Apple to confirm the installer actually needs 141MB to install, and if so, how it can be cut down to a more manageable size, especially if all you really want are browser plug ins for IE.
Cheers!
Dave

I downloaded the Windows installer for "Quicktime only" not the quicktime / iTunes. Although I see what you're saying.
I did deselect an option in the installer to install the Apple updater, thinking it would reduce the requirements...
Did you have a URL for an alternate package?
Cheers!

Installer build wants wrong runtime engine

LabVIEW 8.6
Windows XP Pro
When I build the installer for my application, it wants me to have available the install disk from November 2007.
Expanding the list for that disk, I find that it wants the runtime engine for version 7.1.1.
If I remove NI-DMM 2.9 from the 'National Instruments Installers to Include' list in the Installer Properties, the error goes away. The description for that installer indicates it comes from the August 2008 device drivers disk.
At one time I had other versions of LV on the computer. I have removed all other versions, including the directories in c:\Program Files.
My application uses the DMM device driver, so I assume that I need to check the box for the additional installer. I've looked for more documentation on when and why I should select different items in the list, but couldn't find anything useful. Would it be possible for the installer to automatically select those items required and perhaps let me direct it otherwise by choosing fewer or more items?
Bottom line, do I need to select the DMM driver to ensure that my application will run on a computer that doesn't have LV installed?

Hello all,
I couldn't really understand what was doing on in the above questions and answers but from the forum topic I believe I am in right place. I have an issue similar to those desscribed above. I have LabView 8.6.0 installed on my computer but when I run LabView it starts asking for 'NI LabView Runtime 7.1.1'. I tried feeding in the labview 8.6.0 but it doesn't accept it and keeps asking for 7.1.1.
The program used to run fine couple of months back and I then didn't use it for a while and I had other prgrams installed durig this time. And when this month I tried to use LabView it started giving me this trouble. I don't know what went wrong. I installed some ftdi chip drivers also. So, I am thinking if that kind of messed things up.
Also, I have this windows installer message come up sometimes which is not when I open LabView but some other programs. I don't know if this windows installer has to do anything with it.
Whatever the case it is could someone please help me figure out how I can get the right runtime work for my LabView 8.6 and if also possible how i can get rid of this windows installer message. I don't remember the error code right now because it comes up randomly. Next time I see it I am going to save that number. But in the meantime if anyone can help me with LabView 8.6. runtime engine problem.
Thanks,
Lovepreet

Re-installation advice, please

Hi all.
After installing CS4, shortly after its introduction, everything went well, sort of. The GPU feature wouldn't work with my older graphics card, I think. At least it wasn't one of the tested/supported cards.
Then, my D drive (storage and scratch), started not being seen, intermittently. After alternating the cables and moving the drive, to test it, with help, we determined the mobo might be the culprit. AARRGGHH!!
Anyway, I decided to do an overhaul, and upgrade my pc.
With the first re-install of Windows, using a quick format, Windows fought us, and Photoshop took 4, count'em FOUR tries to install.
After a week processing pictures, and fighting the occasional crash, which had never happened to me before(!!!!!!), and the issues mentioned by others regarding GPU, etc., I decided to do it all again.
Did a full format of C, re-installed Windows, smooth as a baby's.....well, you know.
All running smoothly, so far.... fingers crossed, toes crossed, etc, etc.:)
Before the re-build, I cloned the C drive, as everyone says to do, after de-activating both CS3 & CS4. (BTW, I only installed CS4 on the 'new machine'. Before the 2nd go round and full format, I cloned the C again, to a different folder, both times on the D drive.
Now I'm ready to re-install PS. My questions:
Should I do anything with the cloned folder(s) on the D drive beforehand?
Should I do only CS3 and wait for anticipated patches for CS4? (CS3 always ran smoothly, never crashed, etc.)Or go ahead and install both?
Are there any elements of CS4 I should NOT choose to install?
If a clean install of CS4 occurs, with no hiccups, that is, am I likely to have fewer issues than the first time?
Are there any other issues I should be aware of, or things I should do?
As you probably can tell, I'm soooo not a computer person.
BTW, my new system has EVGA 750i SLI mobo, 9800 GTX+ graphics card, Intel core2 quad Q6600 processor, 4 GB OCZ Reaper 1066 memory, 600 w power supply, WinXP pro, 32 bit.
I appreciate all the help you guys and gals can offer!!

I would forget the clones unless you need data on them. don't try to copy applications from them! you have a smooth running machine. don't mess with that.
I would run windows update a few times until you have nothing left to update. including optionals, if you have any.
if you want to install cs3 and cs4, install cs3 first. get everything running. apply all updates. run the adobe updater a couple of times to make sure they all install correctly and nothing is left.
once that all works move on to 4. i wouldn't leave anything off the installation. let it do it's thing.
>1066 memory
might consider bumping that to at least 2 gig...
