Every BT Customer Should Read This
Hi Everyone
I just want to ask if anyone has had the (mis)opportunity to speak to BT custoomer services?
I went to cancel by Broadband to move to another provider, but the idiots managed to cancel my phone line instead!!
I then made the huge mistake of thinking this would be a simple problem to resolve.
I rang them on a Tuesday evening, spoke to someone in India who didn't have a clue what had happended then finally got to speak to someone who could reconnect my line but was then told they had all gone home!
I rang again next day was told I had to go through sales as a new order and then could have my number back. When put through to sales I actually spoke to someone in the UK, the girl on the other end said to call back in two days when the new line was live I could have my number changed, this was after sitting in a queue for 30 mins being passed by 5 departments.
So, I phone 2 days later and speak to our friends in India whio tell me that I can have my number back but it will take 5 working days. I promptly lose it at this point and unload a barrage of abuse at the poor chap. I then get passed onto his supervisor who says they will do it by midday and he will personally ring me back.
True to his word Mr. India calls back and tells me he has spoken to Openreach and they will have my old number live by 12pm. I try my number all afternoon and it does not work.
I ring BT again this time accidently end up in a call centre in Blackburn who inform me that I don't have my old number back but I have a new number!!! I lose it again and explain the situation, they're not really bothered but I eventually get passed onto the token supervisor. He reckons his colleague will phone Openreach tomorrow morning (as it's 4:30 they've all gone home!!) to sort it out.
I should have my number back by 12pm tomorrow, this is after eight 30-40 minute phone calls.
I would like to hear from anyone who has ever dealt with these idiots before, it just beggars belief.
They're quick to demand payment but when stuff goes wrong they don't want to know, I want someone at BT to same accountability and look after their customers. I was going to stay but not after this episode.
I have deal with Openreach with my work and they are next to useless.
Hi BeeTee_R_I,

All MuVo n200 users should read this!!! really wo
Hi i?m pepe, and few days ago i wrote for help, i was having problems with my muvo n200 when i wanted to listen mp3 file it played then with a scratch sound in the background.
Finally after reading, and reading, and more reading found this advise from a genius person who must work for creative, and i really mean it cause the gays from "support" treat my problem as a child?s stuff, "is the battery working" "is your player pluged correctly" dammn it.
So every one having problems with MuVo N200 shoud go to this page.

Hi. After I dont know how many hours I finally got mine to work. I hope this helps you, although I am not sure if it will. I am not exactly sure why it worked, or how ( maybe just a whole lotta hoping!)
Anyway....So I did a bunch of stuff a billion times. But here Is what I did most Recently to get it to work: ) Delete any old Creative files related to your player. 2) Reinstall the CD 3) Download Firmware upgrade .20.04 to your Desktop. 4) Download Mass Storage Driver .07.00.250 to your desktop. 5) Try to put it into recovery mode like you have probably done before by taking out the batter and holding play while you plug it in. 6) Instead of waiting for a "find new hardware" dialog box, i double clicked to open the new firmware file I had downloaded. This searched for my player and found it. 7) A box will pop up to upgrade your firmware. MAKE SURE TO SELECT THAT BOX THAT SAYS "FORMAT DATA AREA" before your start. ( I think this is where all my problems came from.) This worked for me and that was all I had to do. I didnt actually do anything with the Storage Driver download except put it on my desktop before i plugged my player.
After multiple correspondences with some not-so-bright support people, they did say if the recover mode wouldnt go or i couldnt get anything to work that I would have to send it back in for "Return Merchandise Authroization." If your contacting them, dont hold your breath too long....it takes a very long time for a response.
Hope this helps you!

Thank AB84, thank you very much

He's right, though, to advertise to N200 owners with a shouting title (we should bump this occasionally), as Creative just won't put this in their instructions, yet there seem to be plenty of us N200 users that get stuck where our computer can't recognize it in recovery mode. -
Home Theater receiver users should read this for enabling dolby digi
I have an onkyo 5. dts / dolby digital receiver, and an audigy 2 zs platinum. i am using an optical cable from the front panel on the audigy to the optical in on my receiver. My receiver manual says it is a 96 khz receiver. I am using a 2 pin cable from my dvd player to the audigy. When using a dvd, I can not get dolby digital sound to my receiver. I have set the audigy to spdif pass through, i have tried 48khz, 96khz, every combination of everything. Setting to 2. speakers, 5. speakers, but yet i am stuck with either stereo sound if set to 96khz, or dolby prologic II if set to 48khz.
Another thing i tried was using a dvd image i created on my hard dri've from a dvd, and playing it through alcohol 20%, to see if it was my dvd player giving the problems. I still get the exact same results when playing a dolby digital source through the hard dri've.
So, in the end, is it actually possible to have dolby digital from the audigy 2 zs platinum through a home theater receiver, or not?
thanksMessage Edited by jonnybruno on 0-20-2005 2:7 AMI am feeling the same way about this card. It would be nice if somebody from creative could respond with a definite correct way to get dolby digital to my home theater receiver. Im sick of being plagued with problems.. no dolby digital, random stopping of sound which requires me to reinstall drivers, popping noises every so often, etc etc etc..
seriuosly... an m-audio revolution is starting to sound pretty appealing.
edit: I would also like to note that my box does say front panel optical out for 5. support, unlike the previous poster had said it says stereo only. I am able to get dolby digital if i switch to my onboard nforce soundstorm or whatever it is.
PS. I am not going to let this thread drop down until I have a definiti've answer on whether it is possible to have dolby digital through my audigy 2 zs platinum and home theater receiver. I paid $200 for this card, and I really would appreciate a straight forward definite answer.Message Edited by jonnybruno on 0-9-2005 09:4 AM -

Hi, i am having an issue with a basic motion scroll effect.
I already watched and read every tutorial out there regarding this topic and even tried the adobe chat support, but the guy on the other end of the line disconnected me…, probably he didn't understand what i wanted from him because english is not my native language, so a will try to be very, very clear about this one..
please note, that i am new to muse, this is my first project ever.
my idea is as following:
when the customer comes to our companies site, he just sees our logo on a white Background. the logo consists of, say, four elements. when the customer scrolls down, the logo starts to disassamble: first the first part of the logo flies out the left side of the site, then the second part of the logo vanishes down, then the third part of the logo flies to the right, then the fourth part of the logo flies to the top and out of the customers view. given what i have seen, it is possible to do that….
so…..
now i have the four parts of my logo imported as png files into muse and assembled them in design view to build our companies logo. I select every one of the four parts and go into the scroll effects tab left beside the layers tab. first i enter the same values for every one of the four parts: initial motion: 0x and 0x again for the left and right motion; key position ( t-handle) : 0px; final motion: 0x and 0x again for the left and right value.
now i hit "preview".: the logo is "pinned" at the correct position, i can scroll but the logo stays where it is. so far so good….
now i select all the four elements again and go to the scroll effecs tab. at "final motion", i click the down arrows and enter 1x. I hit Preview…
when i am scrolling down the WHOLE logo goes down…. so far so good.
NOW i want the first part of the logo to go down, THEN the second part to go left, THEN the third part to go up, THEN the fourth part to go right.
so i select ONLY the first part, go to the scroll motion tab, at "final motion" i click the left arrows, then i enter 1x.( the up-down value, i set to 0 again).. i hit Preview…
the first part of the logo goes left as soon as i start scrolling, the other three parts still go down at the same time…
NOW i want the second part of the logo to start moving, when the first part has left the scene, not at the same time as the first part.
SO I SELECT THE SECOND PART AND DRAG ITS T-HANDLE (KEY POSITION) DOWN TO, LETS SAY, 200PX. SO IT STARTS MOVING ONLY AFTER THE CUSTOMER HAS REACHED THAT POINT, RIGHT?
BUT WHEN I PREVIEW THAT ****, THE LOGO IS NOT TOGETHER ANYMORE, THE SECOND PART IS FLOATING ANYWHERE ELSE BUT WHERE IT SHOULD BE…..WTFF????
short: when i move the t handle, the initial position of the object changes. thats what i said to the adobe employee, but he said, that thats the expected behavior….
but if thats so, how can i have my four parts correctly together, so they form my logo, but with different t handles, so that they all start to move at different times??
Pleeease help me, i am dying of frustration here…..:( that behavior cant be right, right?
Thanks so much to everyone who actually reads this post and tries to help…….
All the best,
Niki LapanThank you so much for helping,
But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!! -
This is ridiculous i want my money refunded immediately! The web site is a joke and it should be alot easier to contact a support team rather than having the whole world read this note through an online forum. Absolutely ridiculous! Someone better contact me back to resolve within 24 hours@
I feel the same exact way! I am absolutely livid with how much I have been charged over these past few months. How is it I was informed by my school that Adobe would only charge us $9.97. After I signed up, I dropped the course which required us to have Adobe Cloud. Now I check my bank account and I see I am continuously being charged $32.04 every month. This is abdolutely outrageous! Now I'm calling trying to cancel it and they're telling me I have to pay an extra month. This is mind blowing! Something needs to be done.

I have downloaded music to my phone through my Apple ID and it has this message that reads you can download purchases on this device with one Apple ID account every ninety days, what does this mean and how do I fix it?
Well, it doesn't mean that at all. You can download music purchased with an Apple ID to up to 10 devices. There is no 90 day wait. The wait is if you change the Apple ID.

Why is it, every time I click send e-mail for instructions on resetting my security questions, I don't get them? I just want to play minecraft. I already put $15 in my balance and I can't even spend it. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Either they're being sent to a different email address, or got caught in a spam filter, or something's wrong at Apple's end. If you can't find the email, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions, which can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.

Just a heads up for my fellow Mac users.
"How do I defrag my mac?"
"You don't need to, ever. It does it automatically."
"But it's running really slowly..."
"Repair permissions or something. Defragging is not necessary on a mac."
Techtool pro is now defragmenting my mac. Looks like the job's going to take about 4 hours. I thought I'd give everyone the truth about this while waiting (on a different computer obviously)
The truth is, Apple's defragmenting system ***** BALLS. It has two massive, massive flaws which I feel people urgently need to be made aware of.
#1: It only defragments files up to 20mb. If you're a movie producer, a songwriter, a photographer, or anything which involves working with many massive files, the built in defragmenting program WILL NOT HELP YOU IN THE SLIGHTEST.
#2: It only defragments FILES. Free space is ignored, which eventually causes absolutely hrrendous problems.
Let me give you an analogy here. Imagine your mac's hard drive is a bookcase with lots of books on it.
File fragmentation is when it can't find a gap in the bookcase big enough for the entire book, so it breaks the book into pieces and srotes them in different gaps.
Space fragmentation is when there are gaps all over the bookcase, instead of all the books being pushed to one side so there's a long gap elsewhere.
Apple's built in defragmenting program will only fix the first problem - and even then, it will ignore any book bigger than 20 pages long, if you have bigger books which are broken up, you're screwed.
Why is space fragmentation a problem? It's a problem because it directly LEADS TO file fragmentation. If there is a large block of free space all in one part of the disk, then an entire file can be written to it. However, if there is no single free block big enough for the file, it HAS NO CHOICE but to fragment it.
So basically you might have 5 GB free and want to save a 2GB imovie project. That's cool. But what you may not realize is, the biggest single area of free space is only say 600MB. Others are around 300 and 400. Therefore the file MUST be fragmented into all these different areas, which wouldn't be necessary if all the free space was in one area of the disk.
But apple's built in tools don't do anything about this, at least not in Tiger. PErhaps this has been fixed in later installations but I'm almost certain the same issues exist in leopard.
Your only option is to buy a defragmenting program. I know this ***** but believe me, this IS something you NEED to do if your activity on your laptop involves disk space - intensive projects. I'm using TechTool Pro which has been recommended to me as hands down the best. It has a number of other functions as well, right now I'm only using the defragmenting tools but it has others for repairing damages disk sectors and other mantainence tools. There are other programs such as iDefrag out there as well.
Why am I telling you this? I'm telling you because I experienced mind numbing frustration trying to get answers from the Apple community. Google it or ask the question yourself and you will most likely be whacked in the face with the intro to my post here - "You don't need to, it's not necessary, macs do it themselves, blah blah blah"
Even worse, Apple's own webpage on the subject is nothing short of a disaster. It basically says "You PROBABLY don't need to defragment, unless you work with large files." That's it. You'd expect it to have an extra section saying "If you DO happen to work with large files, here's what you do" but no such section exists. It basically says "You don't need to defrag most of the time, and on the rare occasions when you do, well, too bad, you're screwed."
I urge everyone to heed this or they will be tearing their hair out at how slow their mac has become and the fact that no one will offer any meaningful advice other than the standard, generic, "Repair permissions" - the Mac equivelant of "have you tried turning it off and on again".
My disk is at 99% fragmented free space. NINTEY NINE PERCENT. In other words, although I have 25GB of free space, there was not a single contiguous block on the entire machine. I had almost 5,000 fragmented files as well, mostly imovies. Defragmenting got this down to about 300.
The defrag job is taking more than 4 hours and will probably go on to take a lot longer than that. This machine has been slowly grinding to a halt over the last 3 years and now I know why.
Please don't listen to anyone. Get yourself a defragmenting folder, and email Apple to tell them it's just not good enough to give their customers half assed answers and inadequate basic maintainence tools. Mac OS X must literally be the only operating system out there where something as basic as defragmenting is not only almost impossible to get answers on, but actually costs money to fix once you DO get answers.
As customers, we should not accept this any longer. I intend to spread the above message far and wide.
I LOVE Apple. I've always been "a mac" and I always will be. This in no way a mac bashing post or a windows endorsing one. I wouldn't switch back to windows if you gave me a million euro.
But sometimes even the best developers can royally f*ck up. This is one of them.
There is no readon people should be forced to put up with this crap. Absolutely no reason at all. I've had 3 months of crappy performance with no official explanation whatsoever.
Apple if you're reading this: I love your products. I'm a loyal customer. People are more forgiving than you think, speak up, admit you dropped the ball, and DO something about it in your next updates to Lion and whichever versions of Leopard you are still actively maintaining.
There's no shame in admitting when you're wrong. The shame is in hiding behind false promises and walls of silence.
--Loyal customer, but feeling rather betrayed by all this.The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement. -
Trouble shooting guide! Read this first!!!! rev 13-1-2004
(Revision 13-1-2004)
Hi there,
Follow everything on the list, even if it doesn't look like it would solve your problem, most problems are created somewhere else!
To give some examples:
CPU won't run FSB133....mostly powersupply or CPU-cooler.
Videocard won't load drivers....mostly powersupply.
Sound won't work.....mostly metal-standoff's.
Windows won't install, file read error.....mostly CPU-cooler, Bad-ram or powersupply.
That is why you need to go over the entire list and check all!
Before you start doing anything, remove the power and make sure that you have touched the metal case of your system. If you don't you could damage your system due to static discharge!
Thanks to Arioch and Dragon60 for comments on this.
There are several reasons why this happens.....to name the most commen:
CPU speeds
You have a Duron, that CPU is 100FSB!
You have a Athlon(XP) and it's showing the wrong speed, set the CPU-FSB to 133....
Or 166 when it's a FSB333 CPU....or 200 when it's a FSB400 CPU....
Some boards have a jumper to set it, other do it in the BIOS.
Check your manual for this.
Speeds must be:
Duron upto 1300MHz = 100MHz (=200DDR)
Duron from 1400MHz = 133MHz (=266DDR)
Athlon B type = 100MHz (=200DDR)
Athlon C type = 133MHz (=266DDR)
Athlon XP - C type = 133MHz (=266DDR)
Athlon XP - D type = 166MHz (=333DDR)
Athlon XP - E type = 200MHz (=400DDR)
Use this link to see if your motherboard actually supports your CPU.
The TBred CPU's (0.13) start from XP-1700 and up, but not all boards support this CPU and they either show on the D-LED all red or don't start at all!!
The K7T266pro2 is an exception, it can be made to support the TBred CPU's, on this link you find all the info on how to make it work.
Many reports have told us that FSB333 CPU's work on KT3-Ultra boards work just fine, but it's unsupported by MSI, we don't know why....
As for mulipliers with AMD CPU's, just set them Automatic, as they are hardcoded on the CPU themselves and will allway's be correctly, even if if you think the BIOS doesn't know it.
How to recognise the CPU:
If you look on the dice, there are letters after the speed.
The last letter will tell you the FSB of the CPU.
B=100MHz (=200DDR)
C=133MHz (=266DDR)
D=166MHz (=333DDR)
E=200MHz (=400DDR)
To recognise a CPU quickly, checkout this link.
Thanks Mellops.
The MHz setting must match your setting in the BIOS for FSB value, as it translates to the correct FSB setting for the CPU.
The best way to identify a processor is by using the OPN (Ordering Part Number) which can be found on the processor (E.g. AXDA 2700 D K V 3 D).
Detailed information on the code can be found in this AMD document. (Thanks Hans)
CPU Cooling
CPU cooler not made for your CPU, check if it can handle your CPU....
CPU cooler mounted wrong!, take it off and check it as it will fit 2 way's, but only 1 is the right one, examine very carefull!
The cooler has a lower part that needs to go over the bump (higher part) of the socket, if it's not over there it won't cool the entire dice and WILL give you trouble.
Also check if it's making contact with the entire dice of the CPU...
Make sure you regrease it again, the same grease/paste can't be used twice!
YOU MAY NEVER USE A THERMALPAD OR GREASE AGAIN! APPLY NEW EVERY TIME YOU TAKE THE COOLER OFF!!
top 2 show how not to do it
Used too much silver-grease! It will shorten the bridges on the CPU, clean it and use white-paste.
(Silver-paste is not recommended in any case!)
The latest AMD XP CPU's (XP-2200 and above) require a copperbased heatsink because the dice is smaller and generates far more heat per square cm then the "old" CPU's do.
How to check the cooler before taking it off.
There is a simple way to check the cooler without taking it off.
You do this by first checking your idle temp with PCAlert, it should be below 50-55C.
Then you download a client from www.distributed.net, let this client run for about 10 minutes while monitoring the temps, after about 1 minute or so it should stabilize and your temp should have gone up about 10-15C (max).
If it still goes up or the system crashes, there is a big chance you mounted the CPU-cooler wrong.
When you can't run this check, try with FSB100, if the system does run the check then, it could be well that the cooler is mounted wrong or your powersupply doesn't have enough power.
***** YOU CAN'T CHECK THE CPU COOLER ON TEMPS OR FAN RUNNING, IT MUST BE TAKEN OFF THE CPU!!! *****
Cleaning the CPU and Cooler - thanks to Dragon60 for his addition.
An additional comments about this is what you clean the CPU with in this situation. The best thing to use is isopropyl alcohol. If this is not available then metholated spirits would do.
Make sure you allow the CPU to dry properly before you put it back in. This also means DO NOT try and clean it whilst it is still in the socket as some of the cleaning fluid, grease and dirt may get underneath and short some pins.
Last but not least. DO NOT use acetone to clean anything inside your PC. (or outside for that matter) It MAY not do any damage BUT it may disolve some parts.
Thanks Dragon60.
If you don't understand what we are talking about on this cooler matter, then read this link: AMD CPU & Cooling guide
Powersupplies
Powersupply too little, most commen cheap 300W CPU's can't handle an XP-1700 or above, try a better one to be sure.
Make sure your powersupply has about 185W combined on the 3.3+5V and that the 3.3V has 20A or above.
That should be enough for most systems.
On the latest boards the 12V has become very important too, expecialy with TBred CPU's.
Make sure yours can give 18A or more on the 12V line too.
I have found that a lot of cheap 350W will fail with modern boards and TBred CPU's.
Allway's make sure you have a decend PSU, it never fails to spent a bit more on that part!
Borrow a bigger one from a friend if you are not sure....
More info about powersupplies: Click here.
And the second you must read: Click here.
Powersupplies with these type of numbers on them or higher should be fine:
3.3V - 28A or better
5V - 30A or better
12V - 18A or better
Watch out!! Cheap PSU's like Q-Tec come nowhere near these figures!!
Do NOT trust the 300W or 400W rating on them!!!
Q-Tec is about the worst of them all!!
Metalclips
Stand-off's left between the board and the case, take the board out and check for too many of those metal-clips, they can shorten circuits and cause al sorts of problems (most of the time audio problems)
RAM
Ram problems, don't try to run with PC100 (SDram boards) when you have a 133FSB CPU, get PC133 ram of decend quality.
In any case, don't use cheap quality ram (Crucial seems decend, but give's a lot of problems, I consider these cheap quality too :P ), replace the ram with another brand to see if it fixes it....
DDR ram speeds:
Duron upto 1300/Athlon-B =100FSB=PC-1600=DDR200
Duron from 1400 =133FSB=PC-2100=DDR266
Athlon-C/XP upto 2600 =133FSB=PC-2100=DDR266
Athlon XP D-type and above =166FSB=PC-2700=DDR333
Athlon XP E-type and above =200FSB=PC-3200=DDR400
Higher DDR speeds are only a must if you try to overclock, they have no speed gain if run at the correct speed. You may use faster ram on a slower system, the speeds given are what is needed minimum.
Perform RAM test tools, ie http://www.memtest.org if you suspect RAM is faulty, such as BSOD or data corruption. [added by Maesus]
Try your system allway's with 1 stick of ram, adding more sticks can give all the trouble too.
Some sticks just won't work in pair and a lot fail when you put 3 or more in the system.
When you want to use 3 sticks, make very sure you use the MSI tested ones, they are your best chance that they work without problems.
If still nothing, try to seat the ram in another slot, sometimes they work better in another slot.
Thanks boost
Or rise the Ram voltage a little, be carefull doing this!
Sometimes this works when you have a lot of ram in there.
BIOS
BIOS settings not right, clear the CMos and start with the default settings, if it works, try setting ONLY the FSB to 133 if needed, nothing more.....
And go further from there......
Clearing CMos
When you clear the CMos, make sure that all power is cut from the system.
This is done by takeing the wall-plug out or use the switch on the powersupply to turn it off.
On most boards, as far as I know all MSI boards, you must set the JBat1 to position 2-3 (clear position) for about 10 seconds, then set it back to 1-2 (keep data position)
After this your CMos should be cleared and you can turn the system back on.
In some rare cases it's needed to take the battery out too for a minute or so.
It can happen that the system will prompt you to set the BIOS again, go into the BIOS and set everything you need, then save the settings.
Thanks fguevara.
Harddisks
Harddisk is giving problems, most of the time with WD drive's, they are jumpered somewhat strange compared to others:
No jumper = Stand-Alone no other drive attached to the cable.
Jumper master = if you have a slave drive attached
Jumper slave = when it's slave to another drive
Harddisk is doing weird things:
Make sure you have connected the blue connector to the board, and don't let the other end of the cable unused, make sure there is a device connected to it.
The middle connector can be left into the air without problems if not needed.
IBM harddisks seem to fail a lot, try Drive-Fitness-Test on it, see if it has problems.
Click here for DFT
Other brand drives can have problems too, make sure they are ok, as harddisk failure can cause all sorts of problems.
Allway's be sure your harddisk is in tip-top shape, if not, replace it and try another to verify.
For more information read this: Click here.
To know what harddisks your motherboard support, use this link.
To enable harddisk over 137GB in Win2000 edit this registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Atapi\Parameters]
"EnableBigLba"=dword:00000001
The KT4 raid boards only support 1 harddisk on IDE3, the rest must be SATA drive's!!
Harddisk/power led not functioning - thanks to Tweetyoost
If your HD led or power led not work try to switch(wrong + or - side) the connectors on the motherboard.
leds will work only when + or - is correct
Thanks Tweetyoost.
Floppy drive's
If your floppy drive doesn't work or the led stay's on all the time.
Make sure the floppy is set correctly in the BIOS, as the BIOS doesn't autodetect a floppy drive.
Check the cable, make sure the twist in the cable is at the floppy-drive side.
If the light stay's on, flip the connector at the floppy-drive arround.
Sometimes it happens that even after all this, they still don't work, try with another drive from another brand.
Not able to enter the BIOS or lockup
When you try to enter the BIOS it won't go in there or
lockup, but your system is running fine.
This symtom can happen when your CPU-Cooler is giving spikes on the coolerwire.
Try with another brand of cooler to test if it solves it.
Keyboard and optical mouse lights stay on after power off[/U]
Some motherboards have a jumper called JKBV1, this jumper is located (mostly) near the keyboard connector, put it in the other position.
If your board doesn't have the jumper, try to find the following BIOS settings and turn them off:
resume on KBC
resume on PS/2
resume by alarm
USB ports not working[/U]
Check in the BIOS if the ports are enabled.
USB2.0 ports are supported in Win2000+SP3 and XP+SP1, just let the OS reinstall the ports and they should work.
Thanks Stygge
Replacing parts and the system won't boot after
It's never a good idea to replace stuff like CPU and ram without taking the board out of the case.
But if you still like to do so, please support the board, because if you don't you might bent the board a little and cause other components to make bad contact.
Allways support the board when you replace stuff, no matter what!
Also make sure your system can take the replacement, it could happen for example that your powersupply can't handle your changed videocard from GF2MX to GF4Ti4600.
Test all the parts in another system
Make sure that the new part is in good working order in the first place (in particular: videocard, CPU, memory): try it in another system, or have it demonstrated by the one you bought it from if possible.
Testing might also give you a clue on what is actually wrong in your own system.
Thanks HansH.
Checking the powersupply
Don't do this if you don't know what you are doing!
Disconnect the powersupply.
Orientate the 20pin Powerconnector with the clip up.
Locate pin 4 and pin 8 top row, mostly green and black wire.
Use a wire to short them (or better a 12V test lamp).
Now connect the power and the fan inside the powersupply should start spinning.
If it doesn't your powersupply maybe dead.
Thanks HansH.
KT4 users
Please read the Un-Official KT4 guide if you have CRC errors or strange crashes.
These can be BIOS problems.
In any case !!!Only flash if the system is stable!!!
Set default-settings and FSB100 to make it stable first!!!
Motherboards making a Siren-sound
If your board is making the sound of a firetruck, BEEP-BOOP-BEEP-BOOP...
Check the folowing:
1. CPU too hot
2. chassis intrusion was enabled in the BIOS
3. PSU is below min/max allowable value
Stutter in audio
Remove your antivirus software.
We have heard a few cases where the stuttering was created by badly behaving antivirus software.
Disable cpu halt command if it's in the BIOS (Thanks Pascal16)
Windows
Windows2000/XP won't run stable, try to disable APIC and install again....
Not all drivers/devices like the APIC.
Windows2000/XP won't install USB2.0, install the latest servicepak (SP3 Win2000 or SP1 WinXP).
Let Windows rediscover the USB ports, they should work now.
If you have driver or other problems and don't know what to do anymore but Windows does function without crashing, read this: Click here.

This thread is only for the experts to guide you into a solution :]Dude thank-you for your wonder detailed knowldge, I have descovered that lets say xp 1700 in a ultra 2 can only handle at the most 143fsb mult at 12.
Given the settings" irq's are a major",part of directing traffic and power? example:
Sound blaster Live , uses two irq's most common at"Auto" is, irq 10, or 5, and Sound blaster 16 emulation usually takes irq 5,. I have found that the sound card in slot3 works great , but to do this I had to change the Bio's and assign slot 3 irq 7 . and make sure printer port has share irq enabled
Problems that accure with bad traffic are like this. Start a dedicated server. minimize than start your game?":censored: no sound what could be wrong"? Shoot another problem Connection problem?. The computer nerd is getting trouble over the ordeal. ANSWER! IRQ can fix the problem, Study the irq and make changes as you go. "what would it be like with no stop signs,,,that is the same as a irq. with the same knowldge this topic brings IRQ need to be clearly understood.
I can honestly say my system is error free and running like a dream.
xp 2500 barton 333
creative sound 5.1gamers.
512 mb kingston ram 400 mhz
boadband either onboard.
MSI 5700 128 mb ddr
Setting are:
163 fsb
mult of 11
ddr 333
video memory clock down to 450mhz
3d clock to 390mhz
The delta is a smooth running board also I want to mention to the person with crackling sounds, change the irq like I did, that fix the problem and the power is totaly too good to be true. -

HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE
YOUR LIFE!
I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A
little while back,
I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and
came across an
article similar to this that said you could make thousands of
dollars within
weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought,
Yeah right,
this must be a scam,but like most of us, I was curious, so I
kept reading.
Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names
and address
stated in the article. You then place your own name and
address in the
bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least
200 newsgroups.
(There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after
thinking it over, and
talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I
figured: what
have I got to lose except 6
stamps and $6.00, right? Then I invested the measly $6.00.
Well GUESS
WHAT!!...
within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was
shocked! I figured
it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my
first week, I
made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a
total of over
$1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's
still growing.
This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just
over $42,000.00
and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00,
and 6 stamps,
I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you
how this works
and most importantly, why it works....Also, make sure you
print a copy of
this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as
you need it. I
promise you
that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will
start making more
money than you thought possible by doing something so easy!
Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (Print it out
or download
it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come
in! It's easy.
It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)
IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is
not illegal; and
it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the
following
instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary
dividends.
PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and
$50,000 or more can
be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful
because of the
honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue
its success by
carefully
adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the
Mail Order
business. In this business your product is not solid and
tangible, it's a
service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists.
Many large
corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists.
However, the
money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income
which is made
from people like you and me asking to be included in that
list. Here are the
4 easy steps to success:
STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the
following on each piece
of paper; PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. Now get 6 US
$1.00 bills and
place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill
will not be seen
through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one
paper in each of
the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed
envelopes, each
with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and
address, and a
$1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS
ABSOLUTELY
LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are
paying for it!
Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried
about the
legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
Post Office
(1-800-725-2161) and they
confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to
the following
addresses:
Mailing Adresses
Stephanie Hicks
1283 Evening Canyon
Henderson NV 89014
Ross Wilson
202 Belmont Dr.
Thibodaux, LA 70301
James Small
4690 Sierra St.
Riverside, CA 92504
Thomas G.
P.O. Box 591939
Houston, TX 77259
S. Parker
159 Main Street
Dadeville, Alabama 36853
A. Wyman
9734 Landowne ct.
Orlando, FL 32817
STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above,
move the other
names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name
as number 6 on
the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this
article as close
to
original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
least 200
newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All
you need is 200,
but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!
This is perfectly
legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302
& 1341 of the
Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself
and, whenever
you need money, you can use it again, and again.
PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because
of the honesty
and integrity of the participants and by their carefully
adhering to the
directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the
program will
continue and the money that so many others have received will
come your way.
NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to
you, either on a
computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you.
This VERIFIES that
you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good
idea to wrap
the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.)
So, as each
post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six
members will
be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer
with one dollar
each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that
when your name
reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of
dollars in
CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of
the first six
people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the
list and you're
in business!
---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------
Step 1) You do
not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
posting. Simply put
your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your
cursor to the
bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit
menu. This will
copy the entire letter into the computer's memory.
Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at
the top of the
blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will
paste a copy of
the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the
list.
Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you
want to do your
postings in different settings, you'll always have this file
to go back to.
Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching
for various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
discussions.) Step
5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
message by
highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from
the edit menu.
Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone
sees as they
scroll through the list of postings in a particular group,
click the post
message button. You're done with your first one!
Congratulations...THAT'S
IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and
post away, after
you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for
each newsgroup!
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY
YOU WILL MAKE!!
BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the
world within days!
You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large
amount of mail
you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can
invent a name to
use, as long as the postman will deliver it.
**JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY
part: Out of
200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
example). So then I
made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of
the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
postings, each
with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the
original 5,
that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200
MINIMUM posts with
my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an
additional
$125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the
MINIMUM 200 with my
name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an
additional
$626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625
persons post a
MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only
receive 5 replies,
that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those
3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups
with my name
at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will
receive
$15,625,00!With an original investment of only $6.00!
AMAZING! When your
name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting in the
newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list,
putting your
name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to
remember is:
do you realize that thousands of people all over the world
are joining the
internet and reading these articles
everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00
and see if it
really works?? I think so... People have said, "e;what if the
plan is played
out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the
chances of that
happening when there are tons of new honest users and new
honest people who
are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are
willing to give it
a try?
Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with
thousands of
those joining the actual internet.
Remember: play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE

3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups
with my name
at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will
receive
$15,625,00!With an original investment of only $6.00!
AMAZING! When your
name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting in the
newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list,
putting your
name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to
remember is:
do you realize that thousands of people all over the world
are joining the
internet and reading these articles
everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00
and see if it
really works?? I think so... People have said, "e;what if the
plan is played
out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the
chances of that
happening when there are tons of new honest users and new
honest people who
are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are
willing to give it
a try?
Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with
thousands of
those joining the actual internet.
Remember: play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. -
IRQ problems?, especially with USB.... read this
Summary: the following things are listed to help people configure or disable USB and USB IRQ related options, some steps may help diagnose/eliminate other IRQ problems. Some Operating Systems/Motherboards may have Similiar or Alternative ways to preform the following options,(Some may not be compatible with these Options):
From initial installation problems to suddenly not working USB, cleaning up the Device manager in Safe mode is the first step. Many hardware related problems in Windows can be traced to ghost devices and duplicate device entries. Obsolete and/or duplicate devices can ONLY be seen and removed in Windows Safe Mode. This procedure MUST be performed in SAFE MODE.
USB can only share its IRQ with other USB Host controllers (such as a USB upgrade card, if applicable) and IRQ Holder for PCI Steering. (Some of the newer motherboards can share USB Devices with their On-Board Devices,ex: K7N2 Delta
In most cases for mother boards the First and Last PCI slot share the same IRQ as the AGP slot. This is not always the case, and is usually addressed in the motherboard's manual. In some motherboards there are other slots that share IRQ's with other on board devices, these can lead to conflicts and errors later; try changing cards in PCI slots around.
Sometimes you may find that when you have installed a new card (or device) into the system, other devices such as the sound card may stop working. Once again, the resource configuration needs to be changed. Do so by going to Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager, (Com1) ,or other port's properties, disable usage. This is also the best way of disabling hardware so that if necessary the customer can turn the hardware back on through windows rather than having to play in the BIOS.After disabling a device in the BIOS boot to Safe Mode and delete the device from the Windows Device Manager. If the device is not removed from the Windows Device Manager in Safe Mode, Windows will continue to recognize the device and Windows will continue to assign it an IRQ.
In some versions of the Award, AMI and Phenix bios you can select Plug and Play OS installed. This option lets you decide whether windows should handle the IRQ routing of devices or if the BIOS should handle the routing. Please note that if this option is enabled windows will show a completely different setup of IRQ's then what the BIOS reports You may wish to toggle this option if you find that moving the card dosn't work. This in some cases will change the way windows will assign IRQ's. In most cases this will help but not in all.
Another section that you might want to look at is if the IRQ's are being assigned manually or automatically. Sometimes it is better to manually assign IRQ's and other times it is better to automatically assign them.You can do so by entering your BIOS... should be listed under PNP/OS or PNP/PCI Configuration. ( You must disable Plug N Play feature for this to work!)
Properly installed IRQ Steering is critical to correctly working USB. If IRQ Steering is disabled the likely cause is improper BIOS settings. See the section on BIOS Settings. Go to Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager, System Devices, PCI Bus...If you do not have the following options, then obviously your system shouldn't be configured this way. Seek alternative means to enable/disable them. View Status, go to Settings tab, Use Hardware should be enabled, go to IRQ Steering tab... The following options should be checked... Use IRQ Steering, Get IRQ table using ACPI BIOS, GET IRQ table using MS Specification table, Get IRQ table from Real Mode PCIBIOS 2.1 call.... Under IRQ Routing Status the following should be displayed: (AMD) system should read: IRQ Steering Enabled, IRQ Table read from ACPI BIOS. (Intel) system should read: IRQ Table read from MS IRQ Routing Specification), IRQ Miniport Data processed successfully, IRQ Miniport loaded successfully. If IRQ Steering is not enabled. Reboot the system to the BIOS setup (Usually holding the DEL key at bootup) and Enable (Plug and Play Operating System). Set (Assign IRQs) AUTO or System. IRQ Steering is essential to proper USB connectivity. BIOS control of Power Management should be Disabled or set to User...
If all the above doesn't work, you can look at the hardware in the computer and disable any that is not nessasary. This will free up some IRQs and on the next reboot the IRQs may be reshuffled to a better configuration. Common hardware that is good to disable are com ports and USB controllers. If you are not using your serial port for anything, disable COM1. If you are not using your USB try disabling the USB controllers and hubs. If you are using a USB mouse, try pulling it into the PS/2 port if possible. All these things will free up and change the available IRQ's, and allow USB devices to automatically select them.
Disable USB Error Detection In Windows Standard Mode, Device Manager, USB Host Controllers, (SiS, Standard, ect..)USB Open Host Controller, Advanced, Enable the function (Disable USB Error Detection).
With some motherboards you may need to install the newest version of the motherboard drivers and also may need to flash the BIOS.An example of this is VIA motherboards. The VIA or Apollo chipset boards require an update for their IRQ routing with windows. This update helps fix problems such as loss of data and such.
If you still cannot isolate USB to it’s own IRQ, changing the I/O range of USB sometimes works.
Possibly your last resort upgrading to USB by PCI/USB upgrade card is a recommended solution for systems with non-functioning onboard USB host controllers. Properly Installed the USB upgrade host controller should share the same IRQ as the onboard USB host controller. Check the motherboard manual or Manufacturers Web Site and install the new card into a PCI Slot that shares it's IRQ with USB. Do NOT disable USB in the BIOS as the upgrade card may not work if you do.
If that won't fix it, you may want to contact your mother board's manufacturer, or retailer who sold you the unoperable System components, to see if your System is under any kind of waranty/recall; then order a new motherboard and components...there is always the possibility you will end up with same problem. Or you can contact a computer tech in your area. Goodluck...
Misc Tips....
Check all Physical Connections (This includes: Motherboard mounting, cables, plugs, and visibly damaged components)...
Don't use cables longer than what you need, this can decreases efficiency and or causes System instability...
Check your Voltages in BIOS, and on your PSU (power supply unit); make sure your system is not underpowered...
Check your CPU/System Temperature, check airflow/fans, then check with your CPU manufacturer for acceptable settings...
Check BIOS, Drivers, Firmware, and Software for latest settings/updates...
Check Compatability (can find information in your Motherboard, BIOS, and Device Manuals...
Don't Overclock or Tweak settings you don't understand, unless you like the smell of toast...
And finally, don't me scared to ask... no one here will think less of you for seeking info/help from those who know...Also if this has helped you or someone else in anyway please reply.
