Easier Said Than Done

I can certainly appreciate all the recommendations here for which graphics cards to use with my G5 and a 30" monitor, but as I sit here staring at pixels the size of my thumb, the one thing constantly ignored is the fact none of these cards are actually available from reputable sources. I am two plus weeks into this and no closer to a viable solution than the day I plugged the monitor in to my absolute horror. Somebody please prove me wrong, and at the same time save me from getting financially scalped by the jacked up prices on old (yet compatible) cards. shannon

And while I'm guessing that you don't consider eBay to be a "reputable" source, you may want to reconsider. With even the most minor amount of research (ie feedback ratings), you should be able to determine if the seller is legit, if you find a good price on the card you want.
Many run stores through eBay and have solid return and refund policies in place, and PayPal (if you use it) also protects your purchase.
Just one example:

Search for yourself, you may be surprised.
Good luck,

  • Simple auditing for a folder - easier said than done!

    In an attempt to audit for success and failure on a folder on a client workstation, I'm having problems.
    I have defined within a GPO, an advanced audit configuration policy for 'Audit File System' under the 'Object Access' section of the available advanced audit nodes. I have also ensured that basic audit policies do not overwrite these events.
    I have then added the user to audit, into the SACL via the 'Auditing' tab of the specified folder, on the client workstation.
    I ran a gpupdate /force, and then ran auditpol.exe /get /category:*
    on the client computer, which successfully reported that auditing for success and failure had been configured for 'Object Access'. Defined policy settings working - great.
    I then ran auditpol.exe /get /user:<mydomain>\specifieduser  /category:"Object Access",
    which reported "No audit policy is defined for the user account".
    Is there a reason why this isn't being confirmed, despite the specified user being the only user in the SACL for audited folder? I'm running out of things to check, would really appreciate some help!
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    The audit policy settings set via group policy are per computer but not per user. Based on the description, the audit policy settings should have been applied successfully, and we can double confirm this by check the Security logs in Event Viewer to see
    if corresponding events are logged when we use the account to access the folder.
    In addition, per-user auditing can be configured only from the command line.
    Regarding configuring Per-User auditing, the following article can be referred to for more information.

    My company web site said I don't have windows mediA player or Acrobat Reader. If I go in with IE I don't have any problems. What do I do?

    There is a very good chance you are experiencing a problem with having both Reader and Acrobat installed on the same machine.
    You need to remove one and repair (or possibly reinstall) the other. It isn't recommended or supported to have both.

  • Is there an easier program than iMovie 11?

    Is there an easier program than iMovie 11? Is there something like iMovie HD 6?

    I still use iMovie HD 6 in Mountain Lion. The only issue for me is iMovie will import HD video (1080i/720i) as interlaced and not progressive (1080p or 720p). Interlaced vs Progressive HD
    If that is not a factor to you, iMovie HD 6 is good to go.

  • Deleting photos than don't display in finder - just an icon not image

    Hi
    I have plugged in an old hard drive today I have not used for a while to get some old photos from.  There are thousands on the drive, but I notice in finder than many of them display as .jpg icons in finder and not with an image of the photo.  To no surprise, they don't open either.  I think it might have been a problem with the drive they came from, but do have copies so not concerned.
    Is there any quick way of deleting these thousands of non-working images from my hard drive to clear out the debris so I am only left with working photos.
    Thanks in advance.

    I whole-heartedly agree that although the big print giveth, sometimes the small print taketh away, DNG-wise.
    I certainly would not convert my raw files to dng then throw away the originals. If Adobe provided a "revert from DNG" function, I'd recommend people give DNG a try (and not toss the originals), but as it stands:
    (Adobe-converted) DNGs: great for limited, known, (usually Adobe-only) environments, but not for wholesale conversion of raws, not yet anyway (unless you don't mind locking yourself into an Adobe-only (or Adobe-mostly) software environment, in order to support "the cause").
    PS - In my opinion, you may be going a little too far with this one:

    "Adobe-only environments". Nope, sorry; that doesn't exist. Adobe makes software that runs on OSX and Windows.
    I will bet $50 that buried in the OSX Lightroom code is reliance upon Quicktime. Adobe could rectify this. It's a lack of will, not technology.
    I can be angry and upset but I will still use Lightroom because, in spite of this setback, LR produces DNGs that are smaller than TIFF and lossless PNG and produces better photos easier than other apps (including Aperture).
    ...and yes, I still believe Adobe's marketing is either fraudulent or just doesn't understand the technology.

  • Is there an easier option than spry?

    Am new to this, spent hours trying to work spry tooltip, but no joy.
    Also realised that spry tooltip only stays open for a few seconds (is this correct?)
    All I want is rather than directing someone to a new page I want to give them a couple of paragraphs of info on the same page.
    Is there anything else I can do?

    I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.

  • UNIX cp Easier way than automator to back up folders to an external drive

    I created an automator workflow to backup one of the folders on my desktop.
