GT80 Titan 094 - Lag when saving?

On occasion when using a text editor, notepad for example, or attempting to save a .PDF that I am viewing in the browser I choose 'Save' to write to disk and there is measurable delay, ~20+ seconds, for the Save File Dialog prompt to appear and the Title Bar on the application displays 'Not Responding' if you attempt to click anywhere in the application window (caused by the save dialog running on the UI thread?). This does not happen very often but is a bit annoying when it does happen.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Hi rpisarzjr,
20 seconds sounds like a long delay. I see a short delay occasionally because I turned off indexing on all four of the SSDs in my GT80 Titan. I think I left it on for the HD but I haven't been using it. The SSDs are so fast, that you usually don't notice much of a delay with indexing off. But I don't recall seeing anything nearly as long as 20 seconds.
There are any number of culprits that could be responsible for the delay. The trick to tracking down and eliminating them is being able to reproduce the problem. If the problem is intermittent, then troubleshooting could be a long process. Some sources of file "Save" delays could be security software (like antivirus, antispyware and antimalware software). Other sources can be the web browser and plug-ins that you choose to use.
I use Firefox and I've noticed that it will gradually slow if I have it open for hours, opening and closing lots of tabs. The solution is usually to exit Firefox, then restart it. Sometimes, restarting Windows, itself, helps.
If you're able to reliably reproduce the problem, I recommend using MSConfig or your favorite startup manager to disable all non-Microsoft services. Then add them back one-by-one until you identify the source of the slow-down. Then research the offending service to discover what is happening.
Kind regards, David

GT80 Titan 094 - Realtek HD Audio Manager

On the Speakers -> Speaker Configuration tab the Speaker Configuration drop-down only lists stereo as an option yet in various online forums and tutorials I see options for Dolby 5.1, THX 7.1 and other theater level surround sound choices.
The stereo option appears even when I have four external speakers and subwoofer connected.
Is there a driver update or something else I need to upgrade in order to have support for these other sound options?

Hi rpisarzjr,
My GT80 2QE (Titan-001) is the same and this is perfectly normal. I think part of the problem you're having is the unclear labeling of the tabs in the Realtek HD Audio Manager.
The Realtek DSP (digital signal processor) in our Titans has two audio "outputs": (1) analog and (2) digital. Each one appears as an output "device". The analog output is labeled "Speakers" and feeds the stereo headphone jack and the built-in speakers. The built-in speakers are only stereo, too, even though they have five drivers (two full-range transducers per each of the two stereo channels and one subwoofer that is shared by both stereo channels).
Some notebooks include analog surround sound outputs and therefore have Dolby Digital and/or DTS controls in their Audio Manager software. But it is rare and our GT80 Titans do not. The tab labeled "Speakers" is the analog tab. Since the Titan does not include analog outputs for surround sound, you will not see any surround sound options under the "Speakers" tab.
The only way to get true surround sound out of the Realtek DSP in the Titan is via its digital output. It uses an S/PDIF optical jack which must be connected via Toslink optical cable to a complimentary digital input to an external DSP. This could be a home theatre receiver, HDTV with built-in surround sound decoding, or a high-end computer speaker system with its own DSP.
When you use the Realtek DSP's digital output for Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound, the Realtek DSP serves only as a "pass-through" device to send the unprocessed digital surround sound signal out the S/PDIF connector. That's why you must have an external DSP to decode it to the analog audio that your external speakers will need.
It is not normal to find any digital surround sound controls in the Realtek HD Audio Manager software unless Dolby Digital Live has been activated. The Realtek DSP in our Titans is capable of generating a Dolby Digital Live signal from a non-surround stereo source but MSI apparently didn't license the technology and did not provide the controls for it in the Realtek HD Audio Manager. However, if you search the internet, you will find some hacks that enable you to activate it, yourself. Just remember: The only way you'll hear any digital surround sound is with the digital output using an external DSP that can decode the Dolby Digital (or DTS) signal. None of this will benefit the analog ("Speakers") output because it is hardwired only for stereo operation. Plus, the built-in amplifier in our Titans has only two channels and only does stereo.
Don't confuse "fake" surround sound for the real deal. For example, MSI's new Nahimic software will create a "fake" surround sound effect which you can hear over stereo speakers or headphones. It messes with the phasing of the two-channel audio signal to trick your ears into thinking the sound stage is quasi-surround. But these are just gimmicks which add distortion and are worthless in my opinion.
Unfortunately, this stuff is way more complicated than it needs to be.
Our Titans also have digital audio outputs as a part of their HDMI and mDP ports. These are the video outputs from our NVidia GPUs. If you total all of the built-in audio outputs in our Titans, we have five. One digital audio output each for the three video outputs, one digital audio output for the Realtek DSP, and one analog ("Speakers") output from the Realtek DSP which feeds both the headphone jack and the internal speakers. Each of the four digital outputs can pass a full 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound signal.
Finally, the digital audio is usually controlled in the application where the audio originates---not with the Realtek HD Audio Manager. For example, when I play a blu-ray movie, the surround sound audio controls are in my Cyberlink PowerDVD software. The Dolby Digital or DTS selection is made there along with the speaker configuration.
Kind regards, David

GT80 Titan SLI - pushing back technological boundaries in new and exciting ways

Another GT80 review to share with you guys, this one's from the UK media, the Eurogamer.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-msi-gt80-titan-sli-review
How can you not want it? I am saving my piggy bank to get myself one of this cool stuff.
Quote "There's clearly a market for products like this - as niche as it may be - and when you physically have the GT80 Titan SLI in your possession, you can kind of see why...., this PC is pushing back technological boundaries in new and exciting ways. It crams an almost absurd amount of performance into a relatively portable form factor, while the upgradability and the superb keyboard make it feel like a special, one of a kind product. Its sheer insanity may justifiably stupefy the majority of the PC audience, but for that tiny, affluent niche this machine was made for, its charms may well prove irresistible."

My Titan died!!! Does the GT80 Titan have a reset switch?

Greetings,
When I purchased my GT80 Titan notebook a few weeks ago, I knew that it didn't have a user-removable battery. But I was shocked that I couldn't find a reset switch when I needed one!
After working late Friday night, I turned off my Titan. The next morning on Saturday I tried to turn it back on but nothing happened. Nothing lit up. The display was dark, the power button stayed dark, the keyboard was dark and the WiFi, Power and SSD/HD LEDs along the front were all dark.
I had been using the AC adapter Friday and the battery was fully charged when I shut the Titan down that night. The AC adapter had been connected all night and was on and working now. The Titan had also been connected to my network via gigabit ethernet cable.
Since it had rained Friday night, I wondered if there had been any electric surges or if static had built up inside the notebook. I doubted the AC adapter would be the source because it was plugged into a full sine-wave UPS and was well protected from any irregularities on the power lines. That left the ethernet cable which connected to a router in my cable modem as a possible source.
There was just one other possibility (that I could think of): a defective lid switch. If the lid switch had failed, my Titan might "think" the lid is closed even when it is not. This could also prevent it from turning on. I hoped this wasn't the case because my Titan was not even 2 weeks old and had been handled like a baby. I expected more robust construction for a flagship product like this.
Since it was Saturday, I couldn't get help from MSI. The problem was: I needed my Titan to finish a job that weekend. What to do?
Normally, the first thing to do would be to unplug the notebook. Remove its battery. Press and hold the power button for 10-30 seconds to discharge any static present. Wait a few more minutes to allow any energized capacitors on the motherboard to "loose" their energy. Then re-install the battery, hook up the AC and try to start it again. This usually solves the static problem.
But that's a non-starter with the Titan because you can't remove the battery. So I hunted for a reset switch. You know the kind: a tiny hole through which you insert an unbent paperclip to press a tiny button which temporarily disconnects the battery from the motherboard. But I couldn't find one. The only paperclip hole I could find was the one in the blu-ray drive (to mechanically eject the tray).
I thought: "Maybe a key combination will do a reset." So I tried pressing and holding the Power, GPU and Fan buttons in various combinations but they didn't seem to do anything. Finally, out of ideas, I did what I didn't want to do and started to open the case of my Titan.
I removed the bottom panel (12 screws) and top panel and carefully examined both sides of the motherboard as best I could, looking for a reset switch---but never found one.
Next, I carefully examined the battery cables (left front corner when viewed from the bottom). Normally, you have to remove the left fan and GPU heat diffuser in order to access the battery cable connector on the motherboard. This would be a major job that I wasn't willing to undertake. And this is the only way to disconnect the battery as far as I can tell.
But it looked like there was enough room to disconnect the battery cable without removing the fan or heat diffuser. Sure enough, with care and a thin flat-blade screwdriver, I was able to push the connecter away from the motherboard, removing it. Mission accomplished---battery disconnected!!!
Next, I pressed and held the power button for 60 seconds (with all the trouble this took---I wanted to be sure I discharged the static). Then I let my Titan sit for over 40 minutes with the battery disconnected so there would be plenty of time for an residual energy to dissipate from the capacitors on the motherboard.
At last, it was time for reassembly. It was trickier to reconnect the battery connecter than to disconnect it. You have to be very careful not to push on any wires---just push on the plastic part of the connector with the screwdriver. Once you get the connector aligned properly with its socket on the motherboard, it will slide in easily.
Then I replaced the bottom and top covers and tried to turn on my Titan. It still wouldn't start. Next, I connected the AC adapter and, Voila!, the power button worked and it started. As soon as Windows had booted up, I checked the battery's power level. It was at 98%---almost a full charge just as I had expected.
I was very glad to resurrect my Titan on Saturday when MSI tech support wasn't available. And, any time rain is in the forecast, I'll be careful to disconnect my ethernet cable after I've turned off my Titan. But I was very angry at not finding a reset switch of any kind. Surely this notebook has one and I just didn't see it. Who would build a computer device of any kind with a non-removable battery and fail to provide a reset switch. It's unthinkable to me.
So I have to think that there must be some easier way to "reset" a GT80 Titan if it ever visits static twilight land again. If someone reading this topic can contribute some information, it would be greatly appreciated.
WARNING: What I did to my Titan (taking it apart and disconnecting the battery) is NOT recommended for novice users. This requires great care because many of its components are highly susceptible to static damage. You need to ground yourself to the chassis while you work on it so that you have the same potential as it does. If this really is the only way to "reset" a GT80 Titan, then you'll need to take it to someone qualified to do it. Don't turn your expensive Titan into a brick!!!
Kind regards, David

Quote from: chc on 18-May-15, 12:07:19
If you meant EC reset, you just need to press power button for about 12 seconds.
Thanks chc,
Every bit of new information is helpful toward documenting the "undocumented" features of the Titan. But the EC reset is not the same thing that I'm talking about.
Most folks seem to be missing the subject. There are a variety of things that can happen to a notebook computer that make it impossible to turn off or restart (in the Windows "restart" sense). The most common problem is a software problem. When a turned-on notebook "hangs" or "freezes", pressing and holding the power button for several seconds will force a shut-down. Afterward, you can start the computer again and it should boot up normally---unless there is a hardware problem.
But this is not what I'm talking about.
There are two battery systems in most notebooks. There is a small non-rechargeable battery on the motherboard that provides enough power to maintain the clock and system BIOS settings. And there is a large rechargeable battery to power the rest of the computer.
When the BIOS is replaced with a newer version, the new BIOS will often be out-of-sync with the embedded controller (EC). The embedded controller affects lots of things like the cooling fans, some keyboard functions, WiFi, bluetooth, GPUs, etc. In some extreme cases, a notebook computer with a new BIOS may not turn on until the EC is reset. MSI recommends that the EC be reset any time the BIOS is replaced---it should be done immediately afterward.
How do you reset the EC? Remove the notebook's main battery. Obviously, this won't work for the Titan and other notebooks that have non-removable batteries. In this case, some notebook manufacturers provide an "EC reset" switch for some models---but I don't know if these switches disconnect the main battery completely---they may only remove power to the EC circuit. If the reset does truly disconnect the main battery from all circuits, then it is sometimes labelled a "battery reset" switch (this is the name Toshiba uses).
Evidently the Titan takes a different approach---according to chc, holding down the Titan's power button for about 12 seconds will reset the EC (I'm assuming this only works while the Titan is turned off---otherwise it would simply trigger a forced-shutdown as described above).
But this is not what I'm talking about, either. (Besides, I tried holding down the power button for over a minute and the computer still would not start up.)
The problem I'm talking about is a build-up of static electricity inside the computer. This is the same static electricity that shocks you when you touch your finger to another object after sliding your shoes across a carpeted floor. You see, notebook computers operate without a connection to electrical ground---so they can pick up a static charge more easily than "grounded" computing and electronic devices. The static charge may not be large enough to permanently harm the notebook but it may be large enough to interfere with its operation.
When can this happen? During a thunderstorm or any time the notebook is located in an environment where a lot of static electricity is present. It also happens in space because there is no "ground". As I understand it, it is a periodic source of trouble aboard the international space station.
To correct the problem, you usually need to do two things: (1) Remove the main power sources from the notebook. This includes unplugging the AC adapter and removing the main battery. (2) Press and hold the power button for 10-30 seconds to give the static electricity a path to the power control circuit where it can (hopefully) be safely discharged.
The problem with the Titan and other MSI computers with non-removable batteries, is there is no convenient way to remove the main battery. Therefore, if static electricity builds up, there is no convenient way to discharge it.
Now I can't be certain that the reason my Titan wouldn't turn on two weeks ago was due to static electricity. It was a weekend and my troubleshooting tools were limited. Perhaps the EC decided on its own to go crazy. Perhaps something in the power supply is intermittent and failed for the first time---and I'll have to wait for it to fail again before it can be identified. But the conditions for a static electrical problem were present. There had been a rainstorm that night after the Titan has been shut off. The Titan was connected via ethernet cable to an incoming cable modem and line from Comcast. And the symptoms pointed to a static electrical problem.
Until I disconnected the battery's power cable from the Titan's motherboard, my Titan was dead as a doorknob. It gave absolutely no sign of life when trying to turn it on. It was as if the power switch no longer worked.
So, to my mind, what the Titan needs (as well as all MSI notebooks with non-removeable batteries) is an independent reset switch that will allow the user to temporarily disconnect the main battery for as long as the user presses the switch. If an "EC reset" switch will do this, fine. But I don't think it will work if the power switch serves double-duty as an EC reset because the user needs to disconnect the battery at the same time he/she is holding down the power button to dissipate static electricity. I believe the Titan's power switch cannot do both at the same time because I tried it multiple times and it never helped my Titan.
Perhaps there is some other method to dissipate a static electrical build-up. If there is and it is easier to implement---then I hope it is provided in future products like the Titan.
Kind regards, David

Any word on GT80 Titan release?

I'm really curious to know approximately when the GT80 Titan will be released. Is there any information on this? Google search only came up with websites announcements back in October predicting it would be released near the end of 2014, last year. Soon? Are we talking a month, couple months, 6 months+, end of 2015? It would be really nice to know so I can plan my new laptop purchase, my current one is getting old. Thanks.

Yeah today Newegg reviewed it on their youtube channel, and put it up on their website for a release date of Jan 14th.
$3,299.
I was hoping they'd have a model around $2500 at most. Still beats Alienware.

GT80 Titan Touchpad Problems

Greetings,
There have been a number of posts here and in other forums about the dual-function Synaptics touchpad of the GT80 Titans. It can function as a traditional pointing device or it can function as a numpad. It's a brilliant idea but it has a few "gotchas".
MSI recently posted a FAQ to address one of the problems here: www.msi.com/faq/nb-1654.html. The problem addressed in this FAQ is the numpad function no longer working.
Unfortunately, the FAQ misses the most common cause of the problem that I've seen: Disabling "Tapping" in the Synaptics touchpad settings. Some users will turn off the "Tapping" setting because they don't want a tap to be interpreted as a mouse click when they use the touchpad as a pointing device. Why? Because it is too easy to accidentally "click" when you don't want to. Many users prefer to use the mechanical buttons of the touchpad for clicking. The problem is that disabling the "Tapping" feature also disables the Numpad function because it relies on tapping. After the user have disabled "Tapping" they discover that the numpad no longer works and become frustrated.
In my opinion, the dual-functions of the touchpad in the GT80 Titan have been poorly implemented for a variety of reasons such as:
1 - There should be separate Synaptics touchpad settings for the two modes. One set for use as a pointing device and another set for use as a touchpad. The most obvious reason is because many users do not like "Tapping" enabled for a pointing device but they need "Tapping" to be enabled for the numpad function.
2 - The touchpad's mechanical buttons are only active when the touchpad is used as a pointing device. However, they are illuminated only when they are inactive and the touchpad is used as a numpad. This is backwards. The illumination should be turned on when they are active and it should follow the keyboard backlight setting controlled by Fn+Pgup and Fn+Pgdn. The illumination should be turned off when they are inactive during numpad use. As it is now, the touchpad buttons are impossible to see in the dark, making it easy to click the wrong one. I hope this can be fixed in a future BIOS update.
3 - There is no way to make the numpad mode the default. For example, I use an external mouse most of the time and would like the touchpad to function as a numpad by default when I turn on the Titan each morning.
Kind regards, David

4 - The numpad illumination cannot be dimmed and it needs to be. In the dark, it is way, way, way too bright! It needs to follow the dimming of the keyboard backlight with Fn+Pgup and Fn+Pgdn.

Corporate Win7/Office 2010 | Severe Lag when opening Office 2010 files over the network

Good Evening Everyone,
I work in a corporate environment for one of the top banks in the country (USA). We recently upgraded our computers to Windows 7. (The image has office 2010 included in the build)
I've been experiencing some severe lag when opening Office files over the network. Let me start by saying I've researched a lot and have yet to find a solution that works or even makes much of an improvement.
Notes: My laptop is new (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise). The remote desktop where the files lie is new as well. (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise) Both computers have good hardware and more than enough juice to handle applications.
There are certain files I work on along with other co-workers that we store on a computer within the office. We simply create shortcuts to the files on our local machines and make changes, etc. from there. However, after this upgrade, every time I try to
open a file on the remote computer, it takes over a 1 minute to load. I've spoken to our support team who sent someone out and confirmed it's not the network.
Both computers are on the same subnet as well. I've changed the trust center settings on both the client computers and "server" to trust any computer on the network. I have also changed the network card's speed from "Auto Negotiate" to
full duplex 100mbps with no luck.
I am out of options here and in desperate need for a fix. Even saving changes to a file we work on takes forever. 50% of the time when I close a spreadsheet, the title bar has a not responding message and takes a minute to eventually close.
PS: Extra Info : All computers run McAfee AV and use McAfee for disk encryption. I've confirmed all computers are up-to-date in every respect with the AV software.
Thanks,

Try:
Open My Computer.
Open the Tools menu and choose Folder Options...
Select the File Types tab.
Select the extension (for example DOC, or XLS) of the file that is slow to open.
In the Details section, click [Advanced], and another dialog box will open.
In the Actions section, click Open then click [Edit...], and another dialog box will open.

Timeline lag when scrubbing

I just noticed after importing my mpeg2 into the timeline, whenever I scrub the timeline it lags a great deal. I have updated my graphics driver, and it still lags. I am using an HP Z400, 12 G of Ram, Intel Xeon, W7 64 Bit, with Nvidia Quadro FX 3800 ( driver just updated). Now we did update our Tricaster 855, we now record mpeg 2 4:2:2. Could that be the issue? All of the mpeg2 4:2:2 have a lag when imported into Premiere btw.

Update: as a test I installed AE CS6 (after I'd finally managed to locate the download link!) and initial tests don't result in the same problems as CC. (This is both with and without the CS6 raytracer file modified to accept the Titan).
I can easily replicated the problem in CC:
1) New comp (1920x1080)
2) New solid layer - scrub timeline back and forth, fine no lag.
3) Duplicate layer - scrub timeline back and forth, fine no lag.
4) Duplicate layer a few more times - scrub timeline back and forth, start to notice lag
5) Repeat duplicate layer and I'll start getting delay in the duping process.
6) Get to about 30 layers and lag increases - scrub timeline back and forth, noticeable lag.
7) CTRL-A (delay), P (delay), click for keyframe (delay) scrub timeline back and forth, noticeable lag.
This has now made CC pretty unusable, but it was fine (bar occasional slow RAM preview playback) a few days ago!
Please don't tell me I have to roll back to CS6....
Is this the right place to report this issue? Anyone?

Hi DarnedNut,
Both models at your link look identical. I've seen this kind of thing before where a vendor lists the same product twice by accident, each with a different price. My guess is one is an older listing that they forgot to delete when they created the newer one.
I've bought a lot of stuff from Newegg and continue to use them. But I'm cautious with them because I've seen them make these kind of mistakes before and I'd hesitate to place such a big purchase with them because of it.
My company purchased its GT80 Titan-001 from Xotic PC of Lincoln, Nebraska. The GT80 Titan-009 that you're interested in is way over-priced at Newegg. They are asking more than MSI's own MSRP! That seems like gouging to me.
Here is the listing for the exact same computer at Xotic PC: http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-gt80-titan009-980m-sli-bbackorderb-p-7869.html. Their price is US$3699.00 which is almost $501 less than the best price at Newegg!!! Xotic PC has outstanding support and I highly recommend them. (And I'm not affiliated with them in any way and will receive no benefit from this recommendation.)
Plus, Xotic PC will customize the GT80 in a variety of ways, if you desire. We had them move the two 128 GB M.2 SSDs from slots 1-2 to slots 3-4 and install two new 512 GB M.2 SSDs from Micron to slots 1-2. We also had them downgrade the OS to Windows 7 Ultimate using one of our unused licenses. And they configured two custom RAID arrays to our specification. They did an excellent job.
Kind regards, David

GT80 Titan SLI testimonials and awards

If we were to liken the MSI Gaming notebook lineup to weapons, the GE62 would probably be a SCAR, the GT72 a Minimi while the GT80 Titan would probably best be represented by an M1 Abrams tank.
Despite the war related talk, our relations with media when talking to the GT80 Titan has been very calm and peaceful – maybe thanks to all the nice things they keep saying about it once they’ve gotten their hands on it. Below follows a few excerpts from GT80 reviews around the world.
“We’ve never laid eyes (or fingers) on a gaming laptop quite like the GT80. With awesome SLI gaming power, a huge screen, and a true mechanical keyboard, this mega-machine sets a new standard of dream machine—so long as you don’t have to carry it very far.” – Computer Shopper http://www.computershopper.com/laptops/reviews/msi-gt80-titan-sli/(page)/5#product-review
“With its face-melting performance, a fantastic mechanical keyboard and upgrade-friendly chassis, the MSI GT80 Titan SLI is the gaming laptop to beat.”

“It’s easy to see why we’re so impressed; GT80 Titan SLI is outstanding in many ways, it pushes the boundaries for all-out mobile performance and achieves this while delivering a catalogue of innovative features.”

With a bunch more GT80s out for review duties with media currently, we’re expecting more nice words shortly.

Extreme Ultra MSI GT80 Titan (PC Custom, UK)

ANOTHER AWARD for MSI GT80 Titan!
It can be my so-called Dream Gaming Notebook, which means that I wont have the budget to buy this one yet there will always be a place in my heart for this model. I salute MSI for making this product a reality.
The reason I put this article here is evil. Yes, I am guilty hahahahah!
Just like purchasing luxury bags or jewelries, I dont have money for it but I shall try every possible ways to convince my friends to make the purchase. It's like I've done the research and have bought the product (just not with my money )
okay, lets get down to business!
The editor from PC Custom, Mike Jennings, commented that the MSI GT80 Titan "Incredible speed, high-quality ergonomics, a decent design and a top-notch screen."
Here are some highlights of this article
• No compromise when it comes to keyboard quality - it's as snappy and solid as the best desktop units
• The smooth touchpad's two buttons are light and snappy, and the surface doubles as a numeric keypad
• The GT80 has one of the beefiest laptop specifications we've seen
• MSI includes a bespoke backpack, metal tin that includes five gold keys, wrist rest & mouse mat
• There's no disputing the GT80's gaming ability.
• The high-end storage undeniably helps
• The chassis didn't overheat and the noise wasn't too bad
• The speakers are good too, providing a surprising amount of volume and rich bass
• The top-spec GT80 is still as good as it gets
• A whopping 32GB of RAM is supplied with the top spec

Colour shift in save for web when saving on PC and then viewing on Mac

Hey peeps, I am aware of this colour shift when saving images for web. I have a designer resizing, cropping photos, and then saving on PC. He uses PC and when he sends the photos over to me on my Mac there is a big colour shift (photos are much lighte
Could anyone please explain exactly what he needs to do in order for these photos to look the same as the originals on my computer, basically no lightness shift? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Adam

Because the WWW is based on untagged (2.2 gamma) sRGB - your genius is probably sending you untagged sRGB if they were Saved for the Web (that's how I prepare my Web color).
Your Mac display should be profiled to 2.2 gamma (you are likely at the old default 1.8 gamma now if you're seeing a lightness shift on untagged sRGB)...if you want "your color" back in Photoshop, you will need to (re)Assign the sRGB profile...

Hi There,
The subject header just about says it all. This is the first action I took with MAX - it is a fresh install. The file I wanted to save was still written and the FP seems to be working ok. However, I need to know what happened.
I can't post the whole log file due to the amount of characters allowed on this post. I can cut and paste sections if there is a specific part of the file you need. Below is the first section and last section.

Hi,
I did a research on your error message and it seems this problem was introduced with MAX 4.6. This version switched to a new error reporting mechanism and reports even errors that are which are not critical to your task.
These errors typically show up as "unexpected" and if your error falls into this category have a look to this KB for further assistance.
If it doesn't fall into this category, your could try to go back to the MAX 4.5 or 4.4.. Of course you would need to reinstall some components and might not be able to use newer drivers at all.
Let me know.

Page shows different data when saved after few minutes

Hi,
I have a peculiar problem to describe.
I have a page which contains af:table inside af:panelCollection layout. I use a af:commandLink to drilldown to another page using setCurrentRowWithKey method.
I am able to drill down to the correct data in another page which contains data that is editable. Once after editing the page when i click save button, i am able to save the data. This is working fine.
But the problem is, once i drilled down to this edit page and edit some fields and save it after few minutes, say 5 minutes later, it is not saved. Also, the page is refreshed to bring some random record.
Can anyone let me know why is this happening and how to resolve it?
Thanks

Hi Timo,
Which jdev version?I am using jdev 11.1.1.3.0.
Is it possible that the data has changed (e.g. by an other user) after you drilled to the one record you want to change?There is a possibility that the data can be changed by other user as well. But, for the time being we have implemented for the single user environment.
When you click save after some time, do you get any error (on the screen or in the logs)?Yes. On the screen, it is displayed as "oracle.jbo.JboException: Document type mismatch (source INVOICE, type Sales)". It is a validation exception thrown at viewRowImpl level by me. But it validates the data perfectly when saved immediately after editing
Which session timeout do you have configured in your web.xml?Session-timeout is given as 240
Have you tried your use case with the HR schema?Yes. when i reproduce the situation in HR schema, it is getting saved perfectly
Regards
