Expansion Slot Utility not working -- How to fix / Get a fresh copy?

I want to configure my PCIe slots to 8x 8x 1x 8x...
The reason for this is because I'm fitting an ATi X1900 with a passive cooler (Noise!), and it won't fit in the double-height slot.
All the info suggests running 8x v. 16x will make no difference: http://www.barefeats.com/quad14.html
However, my Expansion Slot Utility won't run. It worked fine the first time, when I looked at it, but now -- no go.
The 'Don't Show This Utility Again' button was definitely NOT checked.
I don't want to have to re-install the whole OS just to get a working ESU...can I download a fresh one from anywhere?

I DID read your post:
Hatter...you can't run it from the Utilities folder...it won't work. I tried. Only running it from the CoreServices folder worked.
So is that now false?
I launched the copy that I have that I put in /Utilities and confirmed that it will launch and works fine.
Next, I checked and saw that there was an option when you launch it to "not show again" in the window.
There must be something wrong on your end. So don't tell me I didn't read your post (or Ned's) and I did see that you had it open in back. Couldn't tab to it.
But.... it sounded like... you tried to confirm and re-launch it again. At least that is what I would do, to test whether it can be launced, rather than to say "can't be launched except from CoreServices" which I know to be FALSE.
No where did you say, "okay, it launches now from Utilities."
So be clear - it ain't easy.

  • Early model Mac Pro's Expansion Slot Utility not working with 10.5.6 update

    I'm reading that the 10.5.6 update may have crippled the Expansion Slot Utility for early Mac Pros.
    I have a 2.66 Mac Pro, and I just installed a Kona 3 card in slot 3. Already had an ATI 1900xt in slot 1. However, the Expansion Slot Utility program detects only the ATI Card.
    However, in System Preferences - the PCI column clearly shows slots 1 & 3 are occupied and with drivers installed for the respective boards... The Kona card works for video preview (further indicating that it's installed correctly - but the Expansion Slot Utility is broken), but I understand that the Kona card is operating at the 1x speed, thus crippling it...
    Apple please fix this... Any administrators or someone in the loop care to elaborate please...
    Thanks,
    Lonnie

    So, here's the deal. Running the Expansion Slot Utility still works for our model of computer - it just doesn't register correctly within the program. This is only a cosmetic flaw. I've confirmed this with AJA and in System Prefs under PCI columns.
    Also, AJA recommends 4Lane, slot 3. There it lies. Furthermore slot 4 concerns me - too close to drive bays for proper air circulation and the propensity for over heating.
    The main issue of not sleeping has been answered by AJA. Their Kona 3 card does not support sleep.
    Guess I'll be turning my computer off instead of sleeping it after hours - no biggee...

    hello ! my iphone4 bluetooth not working how to fix it ...thanks

    Apple does NOT accept phones sent in from another country.
    You will either need to take the phone back to the UK yourself, or mail it to someone you know there to have him or her bring it in to Apple for you.

  • I just upgraded to the New OS on my Mac Book Pro and now my trackpad does not zoom in or out.  I looked at system settings on trackpad and it is set, but does not work How do I get it started?

    This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
    Here's the link for the safeboot

    There is no legitimate (Apple supported) way to downgrad an iOS on a device.  Have you tried downloading/installing a new (free) app.  That works for many users with that problem.

  • HT1491 I purchased an application from the app store and the app is not working,How do I get  a refund ?

    I purchased an application from the app store and the app is not working,How do I get  a refund ?

    First, contact the developer of the app and ask for assistance. Then if you cannot get the problem resolved, go to the following link, explain the reason for your request, including that the developer was unable to solve the problem, and ask:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    Though a refund is not guaranteed, it's possible they'll make an exception for you.
    Good luck.

    Thanks for the quick response ...
    I had already tried deleting the review slide itself, though Captivate wouldn't let me - it just hid it. I tried again using the method you recommended but the slide remained in the filmstrip, so I tried deleting again, then re-added it from the Quiz Settings page ... no joy, same behavior as before.
    I checked the Advanced Interaction page and confirmed that all of the scored questions were configuredthe same way as the non-scored questions, with the only difference being the pool that they were drawing from.
    Other thoughts? I am by no means a Captivate expert but this one really feels like it shouldn't be this hard, and I'm more than a little afraid that it's the file itself that's jacked up ...

  • Expansion Slot Utility not detecting DeckLink HD Extreme Card

    I just installed a DeckLink HD Extreme card in my Mac Pro today including all of the software and drivers. When I went into the Expansion Slot Utility it showed up but said the card was running below the maximum supported speed. So I picked a configuration that would work best for the cards that are in the machine. After restarting and opening the Expansion Slot Utility the card was no longer being detected. I even tried going back to the old configuration uninstalling and reinstalling the software and still it was not detected. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Leopard and 2008 don't need or support the utility. The slots are fixed to begin with. Only the 1st gen Mac Pro needed it.

    Hello brooklinekilla,
    I would be concerned too the up arrow key on my keyboard was not working.  I found an article that can assist with further isolating and troubleshooting issues with the built in keyboard.  I recommend following the steps under the section titled, "Some keys don't work as expected" in the following article:
