Driving me Cuckoo!

Yet again i'm back with more problems. For some reason now everytime i load up the PC now i would get to the login window and the PC would restart on me. Then it runs scandisk, recovers and suddenly everythings fine!??
Its also taking much longer now to load up windows.
And you may have been aware of the graphics problems i had. Well i bought a new monitor and thank god it solved many issues i had, but i'm still getting a slight stuttering effect initially helped by moving to Ultra DMA mode 6.
I'm bargaining its the mouse because i've seen how my friends optical mouse moves across screen, ultra smooth & no stuttering then mine moves semi smoothly and stutters!
Please help! Ginster :(

looking like this
btw is your mouse stuttering while playing games ?
if so, look  here (LostCircuits)

LostCircuits: On the nForce2 chipset, it appears as if enabling APIC per se leads to some performance hit in I/O intensive applications since the system apparently prefers to run the old-fashioned 8259 PIC. The drawback is a less flexible assignments for interrupt requests. Most likely, higher access latencies for the individual devices in APIC mode compared to the more rigid IRQ assignment without APIC are responsible for the difference.
Edit by miti: Before reading forward, take a look at backwoodz comments !!
How to change APIC (only changing normally causes new windows installation !!)
cortesy of Planet3DNow Source in German
1.)Go to windows device manager, choose " computer " and actualize driver do not search. Then chose " ACPI-PC " as it shown here (sorry the foto shows german WinXP)
2.) Then Windows demands new start, do so!
At once open BIOS and disable " APIC " (not ACPI !!), save changing and reboot. Windows will do some reconfigurations and demands new start again. But thats all and better than to install Windwos new.nn[/B]

  • Tiffs in LR driving me cuckoo

    Hello,
    In short: the 'flashing' updating of a tiff file in LR is driving me nuts. What am I doing wrong?
    Long: after exporting to PS from a raw file in LR (mac, 3 or 4), the picture comes back as a tiff, but if I still want to do some work on it afterwards in LR ,
    like working with a brush. the file keeps 'updating' = 'loading', while working, constantly disturbing the work process.
    For example: I have to re-select the adjustment point all the time, while I'm not even done.
    Is there anybody with a solution to this? It is not workable.  The tiff is not in layers or anything.
    Thanks in advance.

    Evert,
    Make sure that <Automatically write changes int XMP is un-checked> in >Edit >Catalog Settings.
    If you need metadata written to XMP and/or file do it manually via Ctrl/Cmd + "S" or >Metadata >Write metadata to file. In Grid View you can select a bunch of images and do Ctr./Cmd + S for all of them.

"ichat needs your attention" "finder" "b" "i" "t" "e" "space" "m" "e". it is driving me cuckoo! i checked in system preferences under speech, but i have vicki as my "chatty cathy" but this is a male robot voice.

  • _blank stays blank!!

    This is driving me cuckoo, hope someone can help.
    I am setting up a button behavior to open a new page which
    contains a .swf (via loader). The Behavior "go to URL:" works fine
    on _top, _self, _parent (page opens, .swf plays) but not when it is
    set to _blank. I would like the page to open in a new window , but
    the .swf doesn't load, only the background of the page shows up.
    New to website design, thanks for any light you can shed on
    this!

    No I cant do that as soon as I disconnect the usb plug it goes blank and when I connect it to my pc it doesn't light up so I assume it wont take a charge from my pc. When its charging from the plug and lights up it wont let me do anything it just says connect to ITunes and configure  in all languages so at least its teaching me new languages lol :-]

  • Can't get rid of hourly cuckoo chime in OSX 10.4.8

    I bought a brand new 17" Intel iMac in Beijing and every hour it makes a startling loud cuckoo chime that is driving me around the bend. It really is a cuckoo clock sound and everyone seems to think that there should be no such thing packaged with Tiger.
    I even reformatted my drive and reinstalled from scratch and it's still there so it's not attached to some application I've installed.
    Under System Prefs/Date & Time/Clock I do have "Announce The Time" unchecked and I can't find any other things to configure for the clock.

    Just for yucks, and maybe a clue:
    1. Open Sound preference
    2. click "Sound efects" tab
    3. Deselect "play user face sound effects".

  • Error while Driving a view using parameters from other view

    Hi,
    I have created a report with streamlist and Barchart view.Driving option is used in streamlist to drive the barchart. The driving works well untill i dont use any filters in the Streamlist.Once i use parameters in streamlist , the driving works only for the default values set.When Second set of values are chosed for the parameter,the values are displayed correctly , but once they are selected for driving,the current values are replaced by the results of the default parameter settings.
    I have already done the tutorials for driving and it worked well untill i use filters in the main view,from where the driving is done.
    I would really appreciate if someone could give a solution for this problem.
    Regards,

  • Help Needed for Internet Security Driving Test!

    Hi I came up with a few basic rules for family and friends
    that I put together in order to try to prevent them from
    continually installing spyware, toolbars, keyloggers and viruses on
    their computers (and as a result, to try to prevent them from
    continually calling me and asking for my help and advice when they
    did this and things went wrong).
    To all intents and purposes the rules worked well - for a
    while. I set it up as a simple RTF document and I added this to the
    start up folder of Windows XP, so that it started every time the PC
    started. However, over time some of them simply learned to ignore
    the rules and to close the RTF document as soon as it opened
    without paying any attention to it at all - and then they went
    about their merry business of installing spyware, keyloggers and
    viruses etc. just as they had in the past.
    So OK, I have to admit I found this deeply frustrating - but
    I also realise that this is the same position that many of us geeks
    are in in that on the whole, most average everyday computer users
    don't have a clue about Internet security.
    Now however things have become a lot more serious for me, as
    I have been asked by a local charity to administer a total of 60
    machines over 2 different sites - and I have also been asked if I
    could provide some form of training with regard to basic personal
    Internet security.
    With this in mind I came up with the idea of an interactive
    CDROM, or Flash based Internet security driving test/tutorial that
    basically covers all of the scenarios I touch on in my rules.
    This tutorial would cover basic things like, if you got an
    email from a representative ex President of an African country
    offering you a share in millions of dollars of stolen money, or if
    you got an email from your bank asking you to verify your security
    details and so on, what would you do? Additionally it would cover
    such things as the abundance of viruses that infest many of the
    porn sites on the net, the way that many games on the Internet that
    are listed as being 'free' (particularly those which are in
    executable file format) are often just vehicles for more spyware
    and viruses also - and about the dangers of chat lines, of spoof
    security warnings on web sites and so on.
    I have included my list of rules below which should hopefully
    give you an idea of what I'm trying to do. Be warned though, the
    wording is deliberately harsh and perhaps a little extreme (and as
    a result maybe not entirely 100% accurate) but you must realize
    that I am, or was trying to give myself the easiest time possible
    and the least possible problems. So you may well find things you
    disagree with in it - but overall if someone followed these rules,
    they probably would be less likely to run into problems than
    someone who did not follow them might.
    The thing is however that (as I said) I would like to
    formalise these rules somewhat in the format of some kind of
    interactive tutorial/web security driving test. Unfortunately I
    have no experience with flash - and little knowledge of HTML or
    anything like that. I also know that the language for these rules
    isn't quite right, in that it probably isn't suitable for a formal
    office type environment.
    I had in mind that the tutorial would show some realtime
    examples of some of the things I have been talking about (which I
    assume would only be possible in Flash?) or perhaps rather like a
    readers digest multiple choice type thing, with screenshots
    depicting the various scenarios in question. (Like a screenshot of
    a flash animation on a web page saying 'You have won a prize!!!'
    What would you do? a) click on the ad, b, ignore it, or c) phone
    all of your family and friends informing them of your good fortune
    before doing anything.' etc.
    So I was wondering, are there any good hearted charitable
    souls out there who might be willing to help out to put a tutorial
    like this together?
    Again I remind you that it really is for a charity
    (specifically the Depaul Trust in the UK, which helps young
    vulnerable people find secure accommodation, provides educational
    opportunities and helps them to find employment). The requirement
    would be that all staff and students pass the Internet security
    test before being granted Internet access.
    I know this might be time consuming - but again all I can do
    is appeal to the sense of kindness and helpfulness of this
    community and hope that someone who does have some experience in
    these maters might be willing to help.
    Alternatively could anyone suggest a simple easy to use
    software package that would allow a relative n00b like me to put
    together a tutorial like this on my own? Or perhaps it is possible
    that some free online tutorial like this already exists?
    In any case, any help at all would be appreciated.
    PS,
    Here are the rules I have that I referred to above.
    http://download305.mediafire.com/b6ndmljht1bg/29bbnnbz2uz/internet+rules.rtf

    Dennis, when I look at the subject three clips (EI 1250, EI 640, and EI 320, respectively, and in that order) as presented in the camera, I see exactly what I have expected all along -- three different-brightness images that are progressively brighter from the EI 1250 exposure to the EI 320 exposure.   So, am mystified why when I open these images (clips), say, in RAW Viewer, wherein I have thought that I would see the same progressive brightness differences allowing me to experiment with reducing brightness to deal with noise reduction, all three of the images present completely alike in brightness.

  • Ssrs report from ssas cube , driving me nuts now...

    hi folks:
     This is driving me nuts and I know it's gonna be some small stupid settings.  The question is pretty simple, I want to users to be able to pick up a week from date hierarchy. If I specify a static week, mdx query will run and report shows with
    correct data and format. 
    Now, in the dataset I've created using query designer, I've dragged data hierarchy into the filter and check the parameter box and also put a default value as well.   Technically, when I run this report, I am supposed to see a dropdown list with all
    the available dates but I did not see any dropdownlist and report still runs with default value. 
     Why is this happening? 
    Thanks
     Hui

    Hi Hui,
    Just as Gnanadurai said, a report auto runs when all parameters has their own default values. This scenario can also be occurred when there are no available values for the parameters. So if you want to see a drop-down list with all available dates when the
    report runs, we should specify some available values for the parameter. For example, we can specify the available values come from a dataset field. Then the values in the field would be displayed in the drop-down list, we can select some of them to filter
    the report.
    Reference:
    Adding Parameters to Select Multiple Values in a List (SSRS)
    Hope this helps.

  • Can you tell me why none of my music will play I had a little box that came up saying all your items are ticked so they will not play on itunes what does this mean it's driving me nuts help!!!

    HI there can you tell me why none of my music will play on itunes it just displays a message saying it cannot be located please help it is driving me nuts
    Jan

    About 5 days ago for no apparent reason at all, about
    7000 songs which i have collected over a number of
    years has just decided that it wont play in ITUNES or
    in any other of my media players. When you click on
    Play over a song nothing happens. The play icon
    doesnt even come up on the screen.
    Steps I have taken so far are:
    1 - Remove all tracks from ITUNES and then re-add the
    folder where all the songs are. This has obviously
    removed all songs, but when I have re-added the
    folder , it has added about 650 tracks back on to the
    playlist. These 650 tracks will play. This leaves
    approx 6400 tracks that it wont play.
    By the way all the songs on my PC are MP3 type and I
    have had no problem playing any of them until last
    week.
    2 - I have re-installed ITUNES and reinstalled
    Quicktime and that has not worked.
    3 - All of my songs are backed up on to a External
    Hard Drive. I have tried to restore the songs and
    also play them directly from the external hard drive.
    I get the same problem when I do this.
    4 - I have enabled and allowed all permissions for
    the account that I am running the PC from.
    I am guessing there must be some settnig or Registry
    Key that is blocking me playing the tracks from the
    PC. I have also tried to launch the songs in Media
    Player and Sonic stage but thsi has not played
    either.
    All the tracks are in the folder structure as they
    were before so I know they are there. I just need to
    somehow unlock them.......
    If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful as
    I dont want to lose my entire music collection.
    Also I cannot find anyweher on here that is a Support
    number or email address for Apple as this is an
    ITUNES issue and they should be resolving it for
    me!!!!
    Thanks

  • My i tunes won't open. i keep getting error7 (windows error 193) . contacted microsoft(thought it was a windows thing...not) have uninstalled itunes and everything related to it ,re installed and message still comes up. Help please,driving me crazy.

    help. my iTunes wont open. I keep getting the message error7 (windows error 193). contacted Microsoft they said contact iTunes support. I have uninstalled all iTunes componets and then reinstalled everything but message still comes up... its driving me crazy.

    If it's a Windows error, it's typically going to be a Microsoft problem. Uninstall any security software you have and if you have a restore point for your PC, you may want to restore your PC back to when iTunes was working normally. If none of those work you would need to contact Microsoft and demand help.

  • Opening driving directions in new browser window

    I have installed the Web Assist Google Pro Maps extension and

  • When I forward an HTML email with embedded graphics to someone, it forwards it as plain text.. this is driving me batty.. how do I forward such mails INTACT??

    I have the latest Thunderbird installed on a new 64-bit Winblows Eight netbook.. fantastic program, but one problem is driving me absolutely batty, and after using the latest Thunderbird for weeks, I simply can't figure out how to fix it..
    I'm on a lot of mfr. and other kinds of mailing lists, like eBay watch list alerts, and so on.. these are not s p a m (although I get plenty of that.. who doesn't).. but lists I WANT to be on..
    Many such emails from those mailing lists are in HTML format with embedded graphics.. I'm not talking about graphic file attachments, but embedded graphics which are coming from the senders' servers, and appear AS a graphic in the email.. sometimes such emails are one huge graphic with hardly any text.. all well and good..
    However, here's the problem.. when I want to forward such an email to a friend, Thunderbird ALWAYS formats it as plain ASCII text.. I know this because I look in the "sent mail" folder, and can see that it has turned an HTML email with embedded graphics into plain ASCII text..
    I absolutely can't figure out how to get it to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT, so the sender receives it looking the way it looks when I receive it from a mailing list, or an advertiser, or eBay, or whoever..
    Is Thunderbird capable of forwarding an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT?.. If so, how / where do I turn on that capability?..
    If the capability to do this isn't built into the program, is there an add-on I can install that will give it that ability?..
    I am not new to computers.. but this really has me stumped.. I want to put Thunderbird on my 32-bit Vista laptop and stop using its horrible "Windoze Mail" program, which I've been using for years, and is slower than snot, and has all kinds of other problems..
    So, assuming whoever reads this FULLY understands my question, PLEASE tell me how to get Thunderbird to have the ability to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics AS-IS, so the receiver(s) I forward it to see it exactly the way I see it when I receive it.. if that ability is built in, please tell me how to turn it on.. if that ability is not built-in, please tell me what add-on I need to install to give Thunderbird this capability.. if Thunderbird absolutely can't forward an HTML email with embedded graphics at all, please also tell me that..
    A virtual box of candy and a dozen long-stemmed roses to anyone who can give me a solution that works..
    Thanks..

    Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
    Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
    I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
    I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
    Thanks again..
    Harv..

  • Can anyone please tell me why the "Do you want to restart your computer now" window keeps popping up every two minutes? Please help! Its driving me nuts?

    Hi all.
    I need some help. I have recently installed a new Hard Drive in my Macbook and have re-installed Snow Leopard. Since doing so there have been a few things that haven't been quite the same.
    1) Certain buttons decided they didnt want to work anymore. These being the Space Bar, the Tab key, all four arrow keys, Caps lock, Volume up, Eject, and a few others.
    After putting up with this for a couple of weeks and looking at numerous forums, they all of a sudden came back to life (Hence why I'm actually able to type this message) THEN, they packed up again. Then started again, then packed again, and so on. They seem to have a mind of their own.
    Please... does anyone know whats going on? Is it a hardware prob? Is it something to do with the way Ive installed the Hard Drive? Have I forgotten to do something?
    2) Ever since my buttons initially came back to life, the "Do you want to restart you computer?" window keeps popping up every couple of minutes.
    It's the window that says "Restart, Sleep, Cancel, Shut Down"
    It's driving me insane and I can't help but think that the two probs are related.
    If anyone out there has any ideas at all, they would be most welcome.
    Many thanks in advance
    MadDogSnaps

    Have you tried reinstalling the original drive? Same symptoms with it?
