Graphic corruption ( glitch) with high setting in games

when im playing games i have graphics corruption and glitch if i put graphic setting too high.
i tried several games...
for example: need for speed underground 2:
high quality + 1024*768 = no corruption graphic
high quality + 1280*1024= no corruption graphic in the first minute after that time the graphic become worst. a lot of corruption very strange and after some minutes it freeze.
high quality + 1280*1024 + 4AA = corruption graphic even in game menu i only see the tires of the car lol and the menu text in corrupt a lot too. i tried to start the game and i only see 3 different color rectangle.
same things happen in others games with fifferent graphic setting.
this is strange because with my old 1600+ xp i didnt have any graphic corruption with my graphic card and my memory.  i played need for speed underground 2 with these high stting without any corruption graphic all my drivers are updated.
PLEASE TRY TO HELP ME
( sorry for my bad english)
3000+ AMD 64
512 megs 266 mhz KINGSTON
160 hard disk WD
500 watts power supply
windows xp
MSI geforce 4 TI4200 64 megs 4x video card

what is psu ?
do you talk about power supply ?
i tried to remove all my drives except my hard disk, even without them, i have graphical corruption
Please help me i would appreciate.
anyway i will look the power supply stat if you need it
all i know for now that the power supply is a Encan dual fan 500 watts
I DID THE MEMORY TEST FOR 3 HOURS, NO ERROR

  • FCP sequence won't compress smaller with higher setting??

    I'm compressing a 97 minute project. It has 3 video layers. SD. 4x3.
    -layer #1: 97 minutes of material
    -layer #2: approx. 12 minutes of material
    -layer #3: approx. 5 minutes of material
    I used default 4x3 SD 120 best quality. Set the avg bit at 3.9 (106 minutes)
    result: 4.2 G
    Used avg bit 3.5 (118 minutes)
    result: 4.18 G
    Used default 4x3 SD 150 best quality avg bit rate @ 3.1 (128 minutes)
    result: 4.16 G
    At a loss of why the sequence will not compress smaller. I've done adjustments in the past and they were smaller, including multiple layers, why not now?
    I am trashing the previous MPV and letting DVDSP connect to the new MPV.
    I swear I saw the MPV say 3.8 G for one brief moment then say 4.18G

    unfortunately, I'm editing at home but conversing at work regarding this problem. It is not a multi angle project.
    The layers refer to my FCP project. The DVDSP has only one layer.
    The overall DVDSP project is coming up at 4.8 G. Just over the limit.
    This is why I recompressed to make it a bit smaller. This when the problems at hand have occured.
    I have the audio to this 97 minute proj. and a 30 sec dropzone pice for the menu with video and audio.
    I'm using same set up w/ compressor I've used for over 60 other projects. I use the Best Quality setting for a 4x3 proj. I use a defualt setting that is higher than the proj. length. In this case I used Best Quality 120 min. I adjust the avg bit rate until the minutes at the bottom of the window show ten minutes longer than my sequence length (giving it a bit of a buffer).

  • Graphics Corruption in Some Apps - Problem with Geforce GT750

    Hi
    I am recently facing a graphics corruption problem with my 2013 MBPr. Yesterday I noticed that the window that shows the mail in Mail.app suddenly showed just some noise (just some strange colors). I restarted the app and it was gone. Then I installed a game named "Tales from the Borderlands". On the menu of the game I noticed the corruption again. Every time I would exit and rerun the game, the distortion would randomly change. Here are some examples:
    The problem appeared throughout the game too.
    Then I forced "Integrated Only" using a gfxCardStatus to use Intel Iris Pro instead of Geforce GT750. I started the game and the problem was gone. I tried some more times again by switching GPUs and every time I noticed that the problem is with Geforce GT750 and Intel Iris Pro has no problem.
    Any ideas what is causing the problem and what should I do? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Tormirez,
    I can't believe my eyes.. I actually was afraid this might happen.
    Since I've been following the 2011 MBP forum after i had my MBP repaired (reflow by someone near Antwerp, Belgium), I've been learning some specific things about the very likely nature of these GPU issues.
    All these issues seem to be related to the replacement of leaded solder by nearly pure tin solder + not soldering according to the best profile (temperature vs time).
    The factor of time saving = money saving may very well play a role here.
    When you consider the nature of that leaded solder problem versus the soldering profiles, it's not hard to imagine that the problem isn't just in the 2011 model range, but may actually have started FROM that range...! I've already heard that some 2012 models also failed in a similar way.
    It may all be quite logical; tin solder needs a roughly 60ºC higher temperature to get into full liquid state then leaded solder.
    As the cheapest way to produce boards is probably rolling entire boards through ovens, melting the parts on it, it would require very precise monitoring of temperatures UNDER the CPU and GPU, to be SURE you have a full flow going on.
    But, at the same time, as you're cooking ALL components around 240ºC, they may have chosen not to stay at this temperature long enough. Or, maybe they stop at 240ºC, while 242ºC might be the minimum required temperature to guarantee full flow.
    Etc.. It's a very complicated mix of factors that determines if small or large batches of board could contain errors at all or not.
    But it may at least be called "bizarre" that these solder errors are found in tens of thousands 2011 MBPs, but also in 2012 models, and in the PS4 and also other brand Windows PCs!!
    If you want to test your GPU hard, download GpuTest OSX x64 0.7.0 from ( geeks3d . com / gputest ) and run the FurMark based stress test on HD resolution for 30-60 mins straight, then turn your machine off completely for 15-30 mins (until it's really cold, put it down on some cold stone floor might help), then repeat several times.
    If the same problem would be hidden in there as in the 2011 models, this is the way to get it triggered soon.
    If you ask me, this might be the first report of the same problem in the 2013 series.....
    Question; do you game a lot? If you answer yes, then it would pretty much make a connection to this similar problem I think!
    I'm curious about the results of the stress test!

  • My client with autism needs to be able to speak/sing into a microphone and simultaneously hear his voice through a headset, preferably with reverb set on high.  Is it possible to do this with the iPad and OS7?  If so, what setup do I need?

    My client with autism needs to be able to speak/sing into a microphone and simultaneously hear his voice through a headset, preferably with reverb set on high.  Is it possible to do this with the iPad and OS7?  If so, what setup do I need?  I have a SM58 type mic and-over-the ear headphones.

    This implies that ODP.NET does NOT need to be installed on a client. However, I cannot find OraOPs9.dll on a machine with Client Release 9.2 installed. Should OraOps?.dll automatically come with a Client installation of 9.2 or higher?
    ODP.NET needs to be installed on the client. OraOps9.dll is part of ODP.NET, not the Oracle Client.
    Also, if an application is built with the 10g ODP.NET, can it be run from a machine with OraOps9.dll?
    If an application is built with 10g ODP.NET, it can be run with 9.2 ODP.NET as long as you do not use any 10g APIs. The new features in 10g ODP.NET are included in the doc and the ODP.NET FAQ for your reference.

  • Nvidia 7300/7600gt desktop users with Aperture graphic corruption read:

    Not promising anything, but consider installing the January 19, 2010 "Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 (iMac and Mac Pro) compatibility with Windows 7" then perform a restart as per the installer. Then restart while resetting PRAM (I have done this numerous times before this update, so don't even think of suggesting this was the fix) and then shut down for good measure and reboot again....what the ****....
    EXPLANATION:
    I have a new HD, new RAM, new clean Aperture and OS install. I have been trying to determine the source of my woes for months. I also performed a complete check of the innards of my machine (checking voltages, yanking mother boards and GPU board for visual inspections, capacitor failures, connections, traces, etc......all to prove everything looked great with little dust) But I still had issues.
    For kicks, even though I am not running WIndows 7 or BootCamp (I use VMWare for XP Pro) I updated the graphics firmware in my computer. It says: "Download and install the Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 IF YOU RUN WINDOWS 7 using Boot Camp on your iMac (with NVIDIA GeForce 7300 or 7600 GT) or Mac Pro (with NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT or Quadro FX 4500) computer." (Capital emphasis mine) Furthermore, some descriptions I have seen for this refer to "early 2008" models...clearly not mine...though Apple, to my knowledge, never made iMacs in 2008 with a 7300/7600 GT card. They were produced in 2006 and early 07.
    I originally assumed this update was not required or recommended for those of us NOT using WIndows 7 (and perhaps this assumption is correct, technically). Well, I did the update, and since performing this update...I am nervous to even suggest this....I see the graphic corruption has not occurred while making adjustments. I have even used screen sharing with Aperture in full screen mode with success....crazy, I know.
    This is...so far...a miracle. It also proves in my twisted dementia and euphoria, that it was NOT (here comes the jinx) hardware failure related, but rather a driver or firmware issue. (of course you will see a follow up about how this was an awful idea plagued with problems and no fix for Aperture....but be patient, all good drama needs time)
    Let me be clear, the update never popped up via software update and the update itself says it is for windows 7 boot camp users of which I am NOT...
    The ROM Revision # has changed in "About This Mac" TO 3467 FROM 3021. I cannot necessarily suggest this was a fix (I have done nothing else, however, to my computer since), but it seems to have worked so far. I have no idea how to roll back this firmware if you should try this, not succeed and suffer problems. But for the risk-takers (not sure how risky this is for the described users) it's worth a shot. Post your experience via this thread, just to confirm if I am imagining this....

    Does it still crash if you change your directory that you are exporting to, but leave it in icon mode?
    Yes. I just checked, and the 2nd try it crashed when in icon mode to another than the usual directory. Usually I export to the Desktop, now I exported to the home-dir.
    Are there other images or pdfs of interesting items in the directory?
    My Desktop is usually empty. I tried again exporting random images one by one removing each exported image in between, and after around six times it crashed. So I would say: No.
    Do the icon size or text settings have an effect on if you crash or not?
    I have tried with 2 sizes 64x64 and 128x128 with the same result: Crash. So I would say No, but I haven't tried all icon sizes.

  • Graphical glitch with The Next Big Thing

    I have a graphical glitch whilst playing The Next Big Thing. The character keeps disappearing or 'flashing' on/off. It's quite annoying and I don't know what to do.
    There doesn't seem to be any ways of adjusting the graphics, probably because it's a 2D game.
    I went through the apple support but I only get two choices. Either schedule a call or ring them myself later. I can't do either because I'm working abroad and don't have access to a phone.

    I started downloading a rental movie on apple tv, but I live in a rural area with terrible Internet download speed...is there anyway to stop the download, and resume downloading, onto my iPad when I have access in an urban setting with high speed Internet?

    Yes, to be honest I was a little surprised myself. But it absolutely didn't connect when plugged into the test socket (I even tried to force a connection from the Home Hub manager but it wasn't having it). It is definitely the master socket. The only extension is a small piece of (engineer installed) phone cable to link the hub and the master socket (because the socket and mains power are unhelpfully on opposite walls of the hallway).
    I ran the Java download for Google anyway and it only took about an hour. The speedtester results are as follows:
     Download speed achieved during the test was - 109 Kbps
     For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 50-250 Kbps.
     Additional Information:
     Your DSL Connection Rate :2560 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
     IP Profile for your line is - 135 Kbps
    I don't as a rule disconnect / reboot the hub; today it has been dropping off on its own, while several days ago I tried a few reboots just to try and get a connection.
    Additional info - my exchange is actually called Claypole Fenton (or vice versa). Whatever, my profile has probably been welded to 135k for days and days.

  • X-FI Extreme Gamer Locks up with high pitched signal play

    My System..OS:Clean format and install Vista 64 bit UltimateMotherboard:ASUS P5N-E-SLI4 GB RAMVideo:2-nVidia 7950gt SLIAegis Physic acceleratorX-FI Extreme Gamer..purchased ~ 2 years ago?Works awesome up to the point it hangs. I've updated the bios. My Power supply is 800 watts. Ive checked the interrupt list and the memory alloction list and nothing overla
    ps.
    I dont know what else to do. If I need to purchase something different I would gladly do so if I was certain it would fix the issue. Andy?Really frustrated at this point?

    I also have had this issue occur with me. In basic troubleshooting, I have found that if I can disable all applications that are trying to access the audio bus. remove and reinstall the drivers, I can get normal sound back without having to reboot the computer. This leads me to believe that it is a driver issue and not a hardware one. The issue occurs for me mostly anytime i heavily use the audio, such as listening to a lot of music with Winamp, or playing games with lots of audio channels acti've. normal idling it will cause it to eventually fail too , but takes much longer to occur (day instead of 5 minutes since reboot). the issue only started since i had to reinstall Vista on my computer not even a month ago, before then, the audio worked perfectly. currently I am forced to use the onboard audio as it will not crap out and is actually usable same time that the X-fi drivers have locked up.

  • KT4AV - Graphics Corruption

    I just recently purchased the KT4AV with a new stick of DDR RAM (see profile for completely specs).  I upgraded from a K7T Turbo2 and 512MB PC133.  My video card ran smoothly with no evidence of problems in this configuration.  With my new setup, graphics abnormalities are evident even on bootup!  For instance, the energy star logo has black lines in it (while the BIOS is doing it's thing)...and the Windows XP logo on startup also has these black lines.  Running mpg/avi/etc within windows..they have black lines as well.  This becomes full blown graphics corruption when I run Direct3D graphics...for example UT2004.  
    I also have assessed this problem by runnign ATItool (it comes with a spinning cube and nicely shows how my graphics corruption progresses)...b/c the strange thing about this problem is that this corruption starts to go away after the computer has been running for about 1hr -2 hrs.  However, if I shut it down overnight...the graphics corruption is very noticeable upon bootup.  For instance, using ATItool, I get corruption within seconds of starting the spinning cube (Direct3D) when I start the computer for the first time.  Then if I let the compuer run for an hour or two, I can then let ATItool run for a long time...at least 20 minutes...without the graphics problem.
    I have tried to slightly change memory timing settings...and that doesn't effect the problem. I have AGP fast writes disabled (b/c it doesn't like being enabled...just like it doesn't like being at 8X AGP...which from readin through these boards, I can see is a problem...but doesn't make a difference to me since 4X is just as fast)...I have pretty much played around with the BIOS settings...going from more on the performance side to the normal side, and nothign changes.  My BIOS version is 5.0 right now, and although I know there is a 5.1, it doesn't say anything about this problem so I prefer not to upgrade.  I also have run MemTest86 for 1/2 hour and there were no memory errors.  This was on a "hot" boot so maybe I shoudl try it on the cold boot?  B/c of course I suspect either the memory or the motherboard could be the problem since those are the two components I changed. So I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas why this is happening...i have never encountered graphics corruption that goes AWAY with the computer being on for a while and then comes back when it has been off.   Any helpful advice would be appreciated!  Thanks...let me know if anyone would like a picture of the graphics corruption from the spinning cube on ATItool.

    Ok well I think this next set of experiments is fairly telling:
    osnavi, I took your advice and decided to disconnect the case fans.  Before I did though, I went into the BIOS and checked CPU and SYS temps at idle:  47,37 respectively.  I also checked to make sure that there were no corruption of the WinXP logo (since my system had been up and running and I had just finished playing UT2004   I figured everything would be ok...which it was).  So then I shut down the computer and disconnected the 2 case fans.  Then I let the computer cool down for 5 min or so.  I then booted up the computer (w/o the fans connected) and let it start booting so I could see logo...and graphics corruption was still present...i then quickly pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del and rebooted, then went directly into BIOS and recorded temps displayed there:  CPU->37, SYS->28.  I then waited for about 8 minutes for temps to stabilize and reach max:  CPU->47 SYS->40 (surprised it's not higher since 2 case fans are off, but that's another issue!)  Anyways, I then exited the BIOS and..bingo...no corruption...videos/games/Direct3D all fine in windows.  So the conclusion from this seems to be that 1) the case fans don't seem to contribute to the corruption, 2) this corruption is definitely temp linked and something happens when temp goes up by ~10 deg, and 3) this problem seems to be independent of windows since the problem exists and can be resolved before windows even starts.
    Now what could be heating up that makes my system run like it should??? No idea!  Anybody?    
    Ok just to add a bit more info...reconnected both case fans....let system cool off....then restarted (corruption present)...entered BIOS...waited for same amount of time as before, and temps were stable at CPU->46 and SYS->36.  However, as I mentioned above, I could get the corruption to go away at 47/40, the corruption would not go away at 46/36...so it seems to be a case temp dependent problem.  Anyways, I guess this isn't such terrible problem since it does go away, however, I'm concerned that it indicates that the mobo may be defective in some way?

  • Errors/Glitches with my brand new Equium A200 15I (incl video hardware)

    Hi,
    I just treated myself to a new laptop last Saturday and have thus only had it for about 3 and a half days so far but I noticed a few small things that I weren't sure were errors/faults or if they were just because its new, such as the fact that sometimes I type things with the keyboard and some of the letters don't appear on screen, which I think is probably more to do with me not typing or pressing heavily enough on the keys rather than anything else, its not happening so much now...the touch pad gets a bit sticky too and it thinks I want to scroll up and down when I want to move the cursor not scroll sometimes but I manage to get it to work, I think most laptops have glitches like this and presumably I could help fix it by calibrating the touch pad(?) I haven't had time to look into that yet though... there are a few other things though and most worryingly just this morning I got a video hardware error message, so now im a fair bit worried/suspicious that there may be a real fault with it and would like to know if this is the case, whether its something I can possibly fix (im no real expert especially with hardware but I can always try downloading and installing updates/fixes and that sort of thing if it'd fix problems).
    The main thing which is worrying me most, is that this morning a message suddenly came up on screen, warning me that there had been a video hardware error, yesterday evening, which I clicked on a button I think to load more info. and I took this screen cap of it:-
    http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/724/errorscreencapcw1.jpg
    I thought it may help to show the actual full message rather than just trying and pasting the info., well ok to be honest I didn't notice it let you copy it to clipboard but oh well (oops lol).
    I know there's a topic about a similar error but I didn't want to butt in on that discussion as I presume that should be for that persons error to be discussed, mine may be slightly different I don't know... I followed the instructions given in that discussion and checked the device manager and no hardware faults are showing up there, btw it says in the device manager, under display adapters, that its a Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset Family, im sure all the A200 15I laptops have the same card but I thought I'd just clarify that. Incase that wasn't the right thing to check I also checked under 'sound, video and game controllers' (as the error said it was a video hardware error) where it lists the only one as being 'Realtek High Definition Audio' and I checked the properties there, on both under properties it says that the device is working properly, with no signs of any faults...
    The thing is, I had read online somewhere that there is some issue with the graphics or video cards. I'd read that they can be glitchy and sometimes break down after the one year. I'd also asked my dad about this and we checked that it was an Intel graphics card that came with this laptop, which it is, and we reckoned that Intel chips should be as reliable as any other brand really... so I didn't think that there should be a problem, though if there is I have until next September to get it fixed before the warranty expires!
    What surprises or kind of worries me though, is that the error message was only presented to me this morning. It dates the error as having occured at 19:53pm... I was using it last night and infact I went to have a shower and I put the laptop screen down before I went to shower at around 7:35pm, I presumed that its ok to just close the lid and it would automatically go into hibernate mode or something similar(?) im wondering if that had something to do with it, as I 7:53pm would have been roughly when I came back and lifted the lid/screen up again to use the laptop again... I can only presume, given the time it quotes, thats what caused the fault?
    It does give me the option to 'update driver software' and 'scan for hardware change' within the device manager, should I run both or either of those perhaps? is this a common glitch? should I be worried at all etc...
    Any help is much appreciated, if more info. is needed then let me know and ill clarify what I can. Also in terms of whats installed, I have quite a few programs, for graphics I have an old version of Paint Shop Pro which I installed yesterday morning, it seemed to install fine, thats Paint Shop Pro 7 from Jasc, I also have some converter programs (for vid files, 3GP and stuff), AVG Virus scan, Spybot Search & Destory, DBPowerAmp, FTP Commander, Quicktime and Real Player, fairly basic stuff like that, nothing much else just my old pics and vid files I transferred from my old XP laptop to this one, in my documents... I don't have any high powered or complicated games or anything else like that installed. Also at the time the video hardware error message states, all that was running when I had the lid down (or before I put the lid down) would have been Windows Live Messenger (though im pretty sure I signed out before putting the lid down) and an IE window, im pretty sure thats all, I wasn't working on anything else just checking the 'net...
    There are some other things I've noticed too that I thought perhaps I should mention(?), one thing I've noticed it doing is the screen going blank and then coming back very quickly, alot. I've already asked about this a day or so ago as by then I realised that it was only doing that before loading the 'Windows needs your permission to continue' window/message, which apparently its supposed to do and is something to do with the computer switching from displaying the normal desktop to the secure desktop, which I sort of understand lol.
    So I believe that isn't anything to worry about but I have noticed over the lastday or so, that the screen seems to do this more, going blank then coming back again, even when that permission message doesn't show up.
    For instance this morning when I first put it on and went to check my home page, I clicked on a link at the bottom of the page or wherever to load another page within the website and the screen went blank for a moment before coming back a second later with the requested page. Is this normal too? or a Vista related glitch, or is there a possibility there may be a glitch with the monitor? im guessing it may be more of a Vista thing but I thought I'd ask here just incase, I decided not to pay for any extra insurance/extended warranty as I'm very careful with my items and take good care of them and so I'm being careful to try and spot any faults early on while they may be fixable under the basic warranty and what-not...
    Another thing I've noticed is that to start with, when I pressed and held the 'FN' button, a range of black and white icons appeared on screen which told me which F button(s) to use to make certain adjustments, it still does that when I try it now but at other times, it doesn't show the icons, no matter how long I hold the 'FN' button down. That doesn't really matter since I can tell from the symbols on the keys on the keyboard which buttons to press but its just inconsistent, is there a reason why sometimes the row of icons on screen will show up when I press and hold the 'FN' button and other times it won't show at all?
    Also sometimes if I move the cursor right to the top of the screen, those icons load as they seem to always be located at the very top of the screen but sometimes this is a problem, if im trying to click on something else and one of those icons comes up instead... im sure you can switch this option off somehow but should I be worried that the icons don't always show when I press and hold the right button(?) just trying to be cautious!
    I think this post is long enough and I can't think what else I could possibly add to help, so I'll leave this here. I don't mean to seem too paranoid but thought it best to mention this stuff incase anyone recognises these glitches/errors and can recommend a quick way to fix any problems before they may develop into anything worse... many thanks in advance for any help with any of these issues!!
    (mods let me know if im wrong to include so many things in one topic, I kind of did this quickly and I apologise if im breaking any rules I don't mean to, if possible please break this into a few different topics or I can do this, though ill be at work frm 2-9pm today so might not be back and able to check here until Thursday morning (October 4th))

    Hi Isla
    Your message is really, very, very long. I think its too long to read it twice ;)
    . Regarding all your issues on this notebook well. it looks like you have installed many 3rd party programs and applications. In such case its not easy to say if such issues are software or hardware related. But I presume its software.
    I checked your screenshot pic but I have never seen such error message. But it looks like something wrong with the graphic card driver. The message says something about Live Kernel Event
    A kernel's services are requested by other parts of the operating system like graphic card driver for example.
    In such case I would recommend updating the graphic driver. According to you message its a Intel GPU. So you could check the Intel page for the compatible graphic chip driver.
    Regarding the FN key issue;
    The Toshiba FlashCard utility controls the FN key functionality. I have read in this forum that this application does not run smoothly and in some cases it causes some issues. The new update should solve the problems. You should check the Toshiba driver page. The FlashCard Utility is a part of the Toshiba Value added package.
    So finally one more hint:
    You should always check for the Vista updates on the Microsoft page. This OS is not perfected and Microsoft releases very often patches and fixes
    Hope it could helps a little bit.
    If necessary just ask for more info :)
    Regards

  • Graphics: Better battery life / Higher performance

    Is there any advice on the Graphics: Better battery life / Higher performance options in the Energy Saver System Preferences? I’m wondering whether to do this on with astronomy programs Voyager and Starry Night. {So far, attempts to use OpenGL in Starry Night have crashed my machine.}
    Or maybe this is all more a gamer thing?
    Certainly there does seem to be a noticeable battery hit with Higher Performance on. And it doesn’t seem possible to opt for Higher Performance only when the power cable is plugged in.

    It's mostly a gamer thing. If your astronomy apps work OK when you're using the Better Battery Life setting, don't bother opting for Higher Performance.
    You're right: you can't opt to use Higher Performance only when the power cable is plugged in, and have the machine switch automatically to Better Battery Life whenever you unplug the adapter. You must log out and back in again to make the switch, whether the machine is plugged in or not.

  • BO Webi: How to populate a variable with the set of static values for Graph

    Hi All,
    I have the data: Order number, Order Date, processing time coming from the SAP Bex query in the below format:
    Order No    Order Date    Processing time (Days)
    1                 Jan-2011      4
    2                 Jan-2011      5
    3                 Feb-2011      6
    In BO webi report, I have to report the number of orders which were processed in <1day, <2days, <3days,...<10days in a graphical view. i.e., X-Axis:  <1day, <2days, <3days,...<10days(10 static buckets for the processing days)
    Y-Axis: Number of Orders.
    The graphical output should be like below:
    X-Axis: <1day, <2days, <3days,<4days,<5days,<6days,<7days,<8days,<9days,<10days
    Y-Axis: 0, 0,0,0,1,2,3,3,3,3  (count(Order No)) (Cumulative count)
    I am able to calculate the number of orders individually for each of the 10 buckets. But the problem i am facing is that I am not able to hold the 10 static bucket values in a variable to use it for the x-axis in the Graph, as these 10 static bucket values are not coming from the backend source.
    I would like to know if there is way to populate a variable(to use it for the X-Axis in the graph) with the set of 10 static values.
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Leela

    Hi ,
    I think we can use the variable as X-axis in chart.. but Variable Qulaification should be Dimension.
    can you try this?.
    Using efasion universe
    1) Select month and Sold at (unit price) , then run the query
    2) create the variable V_Month ==If [Month]=1 Then "Month1" Else "Month2"  (Note = Variable Qulaification should be Dimension)
    3) Create the variable V_Sum= sum (Sold at (unit price))
    4) create another variable V_Cumulative_Sum==[V_Sum]+Previous([V_Sum])
    Now add V_Month and V_Cumulative_Sum in table , then convert to chart.. now you can add the variable V_Month as X-axis of the chart.
    Hope this will help:)
    Thanks
