First post but hey

ok this is my first post here, i have mainly been a lurker looking around see what problems can be resolved by what methods... (my specs are at the bottom of my post)
the only problem that I seem to have is with HitMan 2, which i have not found a solution too...
seems that when i am playing the game it crashes back to the desktop, and then i have to relaunch...
this is kind of annoying, another thing is the temp of the CORE on the vid card, its sooo high, around 48C... is this normal??
Thank you so much for the help, I know you guys try, and with only 4 mods, its probably hard to answer all these questions...
EDIT:
oh and i am thinking about getting a better PSU, which one do you guys recommend??
CoolMAX 550w Aluminum PSU
or
Power Maxx 520w Aluminum PSU
or
Antec 480W True Blue PSU
System Specs:
Enermax Case
350watt PSU (came with the case)

antec for me wins in most cases by the 3 year rather than 12 month warrety most others have
i regard 30 pounds a year as a sound investment
and there is no reason it would not last longer
make sure sound as well as vga drivers are up to date
all the bsod crashes with some games and the nforce games were sound drivers not vga at all
try turning things like eax of,lower sound acceloration
and get any patches out for the game

This is my first post. I would like to thank you all for all of the information you have posted on this forum. It has been most helpful to a Newbee. I have a MBP17 w/trackpad and click bar from '08. I need a bigger HD, how big can I go? THX

This is my first post, but I have been following this forum for a while and you have all been very helpful in my MacEducation. I have a MBP17 10.6.8 w/6GB ram from '08. I need to upgrade my HD from 200GB. I would like to go as big as I can and would appreciate any experiance you've had. Could I go 750GB or 500 GB @ 7200 rpm. Should I upgrade to Lion before I swap the drive out? Thanks, Johnny

Hi Johnny,
Yes you can do the 750 or 500, 5400 or 7200. Just make sure it is 2.5" SATA and 12.5mm high or less (there is at least one HD out there that is 15mm high and will not work).
Lion: I don't know that it matters much either way, just don't do them at the same time. That way, if there are issues, you have a much better chance of troubleshooting one major change instead of two.

How to get siri to spell Shawn correctly? None of the "tips" posted so far work. I tried changing the phonetic first name but that didn't work. Nothing works. Thank you

How do I to get Siri to spell Shawn correctly? None of the "tips" I've seen so far work. I tried changing the phonetic first name but that didn't work. I tried adding another dictionary but that didn't work either. I spell his name but Siri sows it as SH A WN (or something like that). Thanks

Hi Susie, I use Norton 360 and have the latest Firefox 8 installed is working fine for me. Firefox 8 support for [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-360/Firefox-8-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/581640 Norton Toolbar] was released on Nov 8th. Install the appropriate add-ons based on the version of Norton 360 you're using (see official Norton link above). Hope this helps.

Please make this a good experiance for my first post on any board. READ ME

Hi all. Well first off, let me start by saying that my whole life I've owned PC's. And I'm not hacker Elliet. But I've gotten to know them pretty well. All the way from Windows 3.1 that came out a long time ago (more than 10 years ago)
So after a while of hearing about MAC's I decided to start small and get an iPod (since they are so popular here in NYC) and see what apple was about. Well I really saw that Apple had a great product and started asking about their computers. And did plenty of research. And before the new Intel Macs came out, I was going to get a powerbook. But I had a feeling a new laptop was coming out and waited a lil while and sure enough. The Macbook Pro came out. So I went out and did all my research (as to this being the first real purchase of a Apple product and knew about the possible implications of a new first gen Intel chip in a apple product litterally making history) I knew I might become a new beta tester.
So I started looking on these boards and did 2 weeks worth of hard research to see if the Mac Book Pro (MBP) was for me. And after all the problems i saw (ex: The whine, Right speaker distortion, heat coming from it, white line at bottom of screen, etc) I never saw or read anything about AOL connectivity problems. And I know, I know... alot of you are probably going to gripe and complain about AOL sucking and yada yada yada, but please. Cut me some slack. I actually like AOL. I got on it back in 92 when it came out, and really enjoyed it. And have been on it since. I like chatting on there, and so forth. And I hope you help with my problem instead of telling me to go get "a real ISP" I do have a real ISP, but I like my AOL too.
So now to my problem....
I have a Sony Viao 1.8ghz PC with 512 ram, 80 gig hard drive, 10/100 ethernet port. Connected to a Belkin Router (more info below on specs of router) connected to Opt Online Broadband Cable internet with VoIP. I use my macbook pro on the wireless network at my home.
I got a mac book pro 1.83 ghz running 512 ram on Tiger OSX 10.4.6 I thought that I would wait till a connectivity patch (which I thought would have been 10.4.6) fix the airport problems came out till I posted something. But now that I've tried everything, I'm hoping you open this thread and help me and possibly someone else out there as well. I just d/l'd and installed the 10.4.6 update last night and it did'nt help. So here's more info on my specs. I have a belkin router wireless G 2.4 ghz 54mbs router and I have configured the router with it's firewall, wap2 encryption (as it's the only selection the router has that is available that matches what airport comes with in encryption) I hid my network, and have tried to upgrade the firmware on the router.
Now Here's the real problem. I can connect to AOL on my MBP when I connect the actual ethernet cable to the MBP's Ethernet port (after I have let the cable modem do a hard reset to configure itself to a mac) I can connect to AOL. But when I disconnect the cable and return it to it's normal config, I can't connect to AOL. I can connect to the internet via safari, and firefox, and even AOL's IM on iChat. I can use Itunes all kinds of things. I can even play warcraft 3 wirelessly on battlenet. But connecting to AOL is a pain in the @$$. It's the only proggy I have that won't allow it to connect. I keep getting the error message "Your AOL connection ended because the AOL host was unable to start a new session. Please try to sign on again." Of course All i see for a while is the spinning black and white circle. And it goes through step 1 and 2, goes straight to 6. Then it goes blank, and BAM! That message pops up. And what's so frustrating is that I've tried every possible configuration on AOL, my router and even system preferences, for it to let connect. I even went into system preferences on the mac and went down the the Internet & Network "Sharing" icon and tried 100 possible combinations on that in the services tab, and firewall tab. I've turned them on, off, tried to make exceptions ETC. And no matter how much I play with the personal file sharing and windows sharing advanced settings and sigh every possible combination to make AOL connect via wirelessly. And nothing. I then even tried to fix the connection under AOL in setup. I've gone through and selected TCP Script, Airport Script. Cable Script, And practically every script I can think of. And nothing. I even went on to AOL and downloaded thier alleged fix to wireless accessing AOL. And nothing. I've been searching all over google, AOL's website, and all over these discussion boards and no mention of anyone even having the same problem. But please, someone out there with their infinit knowledge of how Macs run and having more experience than me, Please make this a good experiance for my first post on any board anywhere reguarding a mac. A MBP at that too.
An update to this, But amazingly enough, I actually got it to connect to AOL wirelessly for the first time yest. But I have no Idea how i did it. I tried for 3 hours to reproduce it and no luck. I was accessing my router at it's website config screen and somehow I clicked on connect to AOL and while it was trying to connect to it, i reset the router and BAM, it connected to AOL. And I was in shock. I thought I solved it. Somewhere while it was reseting the router it connected and stayed connected to AOL till I signed off and tried to sign back on to see if I could now connect, and guess what. The same dumb message keeps popping up "Your AOL connection ended because the AOL host was unable to start a new session. Please try to sign on again." And all I did was sign off to test it, thinking I had fixed the problem. I tried for 3 hours like I stated above, and BAM got it connected to AOL wirelessly again (somehow while the router was resetting). And thinking I fixed it, or figured out the trick to getting it to work, signed off... I kissed aol goodbye again. And have been unable to reproduce the "glitch". SIGH Can someone out there please help me?
I think I've made this message as detailed as possible, but please, can someone give me some constructive criticism on how to fix my AOL wireless connectivity problems. Do you know if it's my router? My MBP? AOL software? BTW, I got AOL software version 10.3.7 (Rev 4136.310 US) The latest version I D/L'ed from the AOL website. Anyone know If I should turn on or off some things such as personal fire sharing on, or firewall off or on? ANYTHING. Please. I've put alot of time into writing this post and making it as detailed as possible. And been having this problem for the past 3 weeks that I've had my MBP, and have waited long enough to use my AOL. If you need any further information or suggestions on making AOL work, please let me know. Thank you for taking the time to read all of this, and I really appreciate all of you in the time you take in responding back in trying to help me. I'll be monitoring this post almost hourly. So I hope someone out there can help. Thanks so much again. And help me make this transition to Mac a pleasant one knowing that there is a mac community out there willing to help a new mac client. Again, Many thanks
In Heath and Wealth,

I FIXED IT!
FYI for the rest of you that might be having the same problem. DON'T USE A BELKIN ROUTER WITH AOL ON A MBP!!!!! It ***** wirelessly. or even hard connected, it won't connect. I went to best buy today, and got a refund on the belkin. I then went to J&R and got a D-Link router. And now it works perfect. I can now chat on AOL yet again, and I tried all the other web browsers I have and messengers, and warcraft 3 online via battlenet. And it works great. I want to give you guys a special thanks for taking time out to answer back to my post. FYI! Belkin wireless G routers do not connect you to AOL wirelessly on MBP's. No matter how much you mess around on them. I highly recommend a D-Link Router. They are easy to set up as long as you READ ( AND I MEAN IT!!!) read the instructions before you set anything up on it. Use the CD that it comes with, and you'll be good to go. Set it up and it works great Almost no dead zones in the house, and now I can use the MBP with all it's cababilities. Thanks people. I really appreciate it.
P.S. I called belkin last night when i decided to get a refund on my router for today and when i talked to the tech, after puersuading him to tell me the truth. And stop BS'ing me, he broke down and admited that AOL does not work wirelessly on MBP's. So to make a long story short this time, There you go. And one last note, I'm very happy now with my d-link router. I honestly thought it would suck. Not being a brand name router or anything. But amazingly, it works like a brand name item! Again, many thanks all.

How can I disable making live shape rectangle in the first place but normal one instead in Illustrator CC?

How can I disable making live shape rectangle in the first place but normal one instead in Illustrator CC? When I create rectangle I can't transform it by dragging and it's only the problem with rectangle, not with circle, star etc. I try show/hide edges/bounding box reset preferences and reinstall whole illustrator CC and it's the same. I can only make this right by expand this rectangle, which is shape as is turn out to rectangle by clicking object>shape>expand rectangle. But this is so frustrating. Help!:) oh, and I use OSX. My friend has the same specs and it's works. I mean she can use live shape corner transformations and changing size by draging:(

I’ve created my own plugin (available for free for personal and commercial use) which imitates behavior of the ‘old’ Rectangle Tool. It doesn’t replace the Live Rectangle – it works completely independent!
My Plain Rectangle Tool correctly snaps to grids/objects/points and correctly aligns to grid/points on resize. Of course it supports the SHIFT and ALT/OPTION keys, Snap to Grid and Smart Guides options. In other words it works almost 100% the same as the Rectangle Tool we know from CC (17.1), CS6 and earlier.
The installation package (zxp) adds ‘Plain Rectangle Tool’ icon into the Ai panel (of curse you can assign your custom keyboard shortcut to it as well)
Note: The Plain Rectangle can be easily converted into the Live one using Object > Shape > Convert to Rectangle
Grab your copy at http://63mutants.com/subc/products/PlainRectangleTool_m01/PlainRectangleTool_m01.php Feel free to share with your friends. It’s completely free.
I’ve also created a separate discussion https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1587587 for the Plain Rectangle Tool. If you have any comments or request please post it there. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

This is actually in response to varjak paw's reply to my question, but I am unable to directly reply for some reason hence the separate post, but so it's open to anyone to answer

This is actually in response to varjak paw's reply to my question (thank you!), but I am unable to directly reply for some reason hence the separate post, but so it's open to anyone to answer. Anyway, my original question was
Hello, I am from a Korean institution. We are looking into enrolling in iTunes U, but are aware that our country, South Korea, is yet enrolled in the iTunes U. Can our institution still enroll and if so, what is the procedure? Or do we have to wait for our country to be enrolled in iTunes U first? We're surprised South Korea isn't listed yet among the 26 countries so far, considering how it's one of the more developed countries and also highly advanced in the technology field. Thank you!
Varjak paw's answer:
Sorry, but iTunes U is not available to institutions in South Korea at this time. It is only available to institutions in those countries on the list. Why Apple has not yet been able to provide that service in your country or when (or indeed if) they ever will is something none of us here can say.
Regards.
My follow-up question:
So then, is if there's a general standard procedure country governments have to follow in order to have the iTunes U service provided (ex. a site/online application on Apple). So in other words, if the Korean government were interested in enrolling in iTunes U, what would they have to do/what channel(s) would they have to go through? We are a government-affiliated institution so if we're provided the necessary steps, we may be able to forward the procedure along to the right government body that would be responsible for setting this up.
Any information would be appreciated, thank you!

As I said in your original post, iTunes U is not available to any institution, government or otherwise, in South Korea. If or when Apple will extend iTunes U to your country is something none of us here can say, and Apple will not until such time as they're ready to make an announcement. What Apple's criteria and requirements are for being able to open iTunes U in a given country is unknown; there is no "procedure" that any of us here can state or direct you to that you could initiate. It's totally up to Apple, and if they are working on this, I'm sure they know who in the SK government they would need to work with.
Sorry, but you will just have to wait and hope that something develops in the future.
Regards.

Cash flow start date and first posting date in REFX-RECN contract

Hi,
While reviewing old contracts, I have noticed that in contracts where first posting date is mentioned, the cash flow start date is not editable in contract change screen. In contracts where first posting date is not mentioned, the cash flow start date is editable in the change screen.
Is this standard system behaviour? Because i have read in the forum that cash flow start date is not editable after first posting of the conditions.
I tried to change the field status of cash flow start date through RECACUST, but despite keeping the field status as display, the cash flow start date remains editable.
Please help on how to make the field status not editable.
sadhana

Hi Sidhharth,
Thanks a lot for your immediate reply.
I still have one query. You have written that
Where First posting date is not updated it indicates that posting of the contract is yet to be done,not a single posting has been performed hence Cashflow date is editable.
This means first posting date is always filled up after condition is posted. but in our system i find that the date is blank and greyed out even after the 1st posting.
Could it be due to having several conditions in the contract - some with one time posting, some with monthly posting? eg.most of our contracts have atleast two contions - one for deposit which is one time payment, one for rent. the first posting date is updated in individual condition for rent in conditions tab but first posting date in terms tab is blank. But even in single condition contracts, the first posting date is not getting updated in term tab (the field gets greyout out once contract is activated)
Thanks once again.
Sadhana.

Illustrator help - first post....

Hi,
First post on this forum although I've benefited much from the Dreamweaver forum over the past 12 months.
I've been in the process of re-training and have now got around to Illustrator CS5 classroom in a book course this past week and I now find myself asking a couple of questions. The main question is as follows:
1) Is there a book that would come very highly recommended along the lines of 100 things you can/should do with illustrator in the real world of web design?
I'm mainly focussing on web design and will most likely be using Illustrator (as skills allow!) to create images/backgrounds/logos for use in sites that I build. My challenge is that I'm not "arty" really at all so would hugley benefit from something that I can use as a reference guide for logos, images making etc. I have similar for CSS, HTML & J-Query and hope the same exists for AI.
Sorry it's a very basic question but I really want to set off in the correct direction.
Many thanks.
Regards
Rob

Agreed but I would like to cover off some of my own
Design work going forward to I'm going to push on with learning some more design fundamentals.
My challenge with art school is I've also just moved to France and learning the language as well challenges all round!
Thanks for getting back to me.
Cheers

First post, looking for new Demand5 eps

Hello forum
As stated first post so keeping it simple. Where is the last Walking Dead episode (25/08) on Demand5 in Catch Up section. It has regularly been accessable by 12pm Monday since season 3 aired but no sign of it today.
I noticed the new Once apon a time and The Barrior are on and wondered if someone had forgotton to update it.
Hangnail

Don't normally add to my own posts without reply but wanted to update.
I see that channel 5 has replaced the Monday repeat with Under the Dome. Can anyone at BT confirm that this precludes them from showing The Walking Dead.
Any information, even a head scratch would be something at this point. Thank you

First post! Hard drive space available

I've searched mac forums and other but I can't figure this out!
Myd dad bought my macbook pro and I thought, until very recently, that it had a 60GB HD as this is what Activity Monitor always told me, as you can see below.
Once I get close to 60GB I have to start deleting loads of stuff. I thought that this was my max storage space but when I got Checkup it said: Hard Drive 149.0GB capacity and apparently I'm already using 144.3GB! It says it has 2 partitions and shows my Macintosh HD's capacity as 51.9GB...
But Disk Utility doesn't show partitions when I look at my Hitachi HD.
At the bottom it also tells me that the hard drive capacity is 160.04GB
When I look at Macintosh HD it says at the bottom that it's capacity is 159.7GB and I have used 48.33GB but only have 7.37GB available. Activity monitor is roughly the same saying I only have 7.63GB left.
My question is why is it like this and how can I make Macintosh HD bigger. I really don't need that much free space outside Macintosh HD and I would rather be able to use the entire approx 160GB hard drive in Mac OS X. I think you're meant to be able to resize the startup partition but i can't see the 2 partitions! I'm pretty sure the blue shading shows the amount of space I have used and is not a separate partition. How do I fix this? Sorry about all the pictures but I wasn't sure I could explain properly without them. thanx in advance, any advice is greatly appreciated even if you just tell me I'm crazy.
first post btw

The pictures are a good idea, especially with such odd results ! MacBook Pro's don't come with 60Gb drives ...
Have you got a full backup of your current data because if so I'd advise you to wipe and reformat the entire drive and then restore your data from the backup. (Boot from the Install DVD by holding C then run Disc Utility, re-parition the drive and write zeros to it once and you should see the full capacity)

Closed first Post-BK card today. Liberated from Credit One!!!

I closed my first post-BK card today, the Credit One card. They tried hard to get me to stay, but bottom line was they couldn't or wouldn't waive the AF so I told them good bye. 1st offer> Reduction to 18.75% APR for 6 months. (ummm... declined..)2nd offer> Reduction to $24 AF for 6 months. (ummmmm... declined.) She finally closed it after 3 "close account" statements. I feel liberated to be free from Credit One!!

This is my first post and facing a big issue as a BASIS professional-

Hello all,
I have been recently bugged by a serious problem and that is *how to see or get the list of all the transactions executed by an user, at a particular date. I have tried SM21 and STAD but not getting the results as per as the expectations.
Furthermore, STAD is not fetching any data for any user at that system. Well, I have tried SUIM also but to no avail. My system is ECC 6.0.
This is my first post to this community and it would be of great help if my problem is solved.

Hi,
Please find the below links for SM19 and also if you search by Sm19 or security audit log there lot of information in SDN and help.sap.com or google.

First post, overclocking?

Hello this is my first post on the forum!
I have had a KT6 delta - FISR for a couple of weeks with an XP2000+ and have been relatively happy with core centre overclocking my fsb to 146MHz meaning i can run at 1830(ish)MHz. I just got myself an XP2800+ and i am wondering how to overclock it. My mate at work has pratically the same setup but non MSI mobo. he has his running at 2380MHz by upping the CPU ratio and I have not been able to do that without causing problems and my PC booting in a (i guess) default mode.
Any help, ideas etc would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!!

Been looking at some of the other post and i am miffed.
I have KT6 Delta FISR
XP2800+ barton
1gig PC3200 ram
Geforce 4 ti4200 (sadly only 4xagp)
I cant get my system to overclock using core centre by much at all. So far reliably i can get about 175MHz FSB x 12.5 multiplier.
This is really getting my estimation of this motherboard down. My friends at work one of them has a K7N2 and an XP2500 and is running at 200MHz X 11 multiplier and my other mate has an XP2800 and im unsure of his mobo but is clocking his cpu upto 2.385GHz.
I thought that i had bought a good mobo! Maybe it is some thing to do with the rest of my system. Should i be using core centre? any ideas should i have re installed windows after changing my mobo and cpu?

First post!!! V04 error

Hello everyone
This is my first post on the forums, i bet you've heard this alot of times but yes i am getting a V04 error, ive tested the line speed afew times and its always around 5-7.5mbps
I managed to get through to the helpdesk and someone told me that QoS or quality of service was not enabled on my line???? And it would take 48 hours to fix...now that was either true or a very convincing technical excuse!! because its still not working! but even if there wasn't quality of service it still should work??
Any ideas???

VoD will not work at all and will always give you V04 if no qos. If it wasn't enabled then it takes 48 working hours and since this is a bank holiday weekend working hours will not have included friday, sat, sun or today.
What day did you call helpdesk? If it was say thursday then earliest it will work giving 48 working hours is wednesday any time up until midnight. If vod is still not working 48 working hours after you called heldesk then restart your vbox. Don't reset it though because you only get a limited number of resets per box before it locks the box. You should only ever do a factory reset if directed by the helpdesk.

First post but hey
