Hal.dll always the same problem but no real solution :(
Hello everybody,
i have been trying to install Windows XP Pro SP2 (original and I am sure of the version) with Leopard and Bootcamp 2.0.
Like several other users, i had the "error disc" problem when installing directly on the bootcamp partition (without formating) and "hal.dll" when deleting the partition (and making one with both 128Mo partition and my old Bootcamp partition) and formating after.
Like most of the users who had this problem, I can't choose to format the Bootcamp partition when i choose the partition (choosing a partition installs directly windows and i don't have the step where i can choosing the formating method...).
I tried with 3 different windows CDs and none of them allow me to use the Recovery Console (Pressing R) and to format.
I didn't delete Bootcamp's 200Mo partition, since I saw in several forums that sometimes it can have tremendous consequences.
How can I manage to install windows XP? Does Vista works better?
Thanks for your help!
Actually pr100, the Bootcamp instructions say specifically that you HAVE to reformat the bootcamp-created partition before installing windows. Here's the excerpt from the instructions:
"*Formatting the Windows Partition*
Even though Boot Camp pre-formats the Windows partition, this partition can’t be
used to boot the computer. You must reformat the new Windows partition using the
Windows installer."
But yeah, after re-partitioning and unpartitioning (using Bootcamp) about 10 times I finally did a complete (not quick or 'convert to') NTFS reformat from the Windows installer and that did the trick.
All my other issues, from no-boot from anything (not CDs, not 'option,' not anything) were fixed by resetting firmware with an unplug-and-hold-down-power-button, plug-back-in-and-hold-power-button-until-you-hear-the-firmware-update/reset-bee p. That first bit was a heart-stopper with the machine not responding in ANY normal configuration I could discover until the afore-described bit of unplugged firmware resetting. Just always booted to the black screen of blinking DOS cursor scariness. Next it appeared to be installing Windows but finally gave me nothing but the hal.dll error at startup. Very depressing considering the sketchiness and contradictory nature of most of the posts here about fixing hal.dll errors. Mine included above. After about 10 tries at various Bootcamp/Windows setup options I finally decided to go NTFS and that's what fixed it for me in the end. Good luck all of you. Hope this further bit of insanity helps you. There was no way I was going to delete the 'extra' partition (200Mb) or the new 'free space' (128Mb) that Bootcamp also created in its partitioning process. As recommended elsewhere here. I'm really clueless about the whole boot process but I'm sure that Apple could make things better if they wanted to.
Good luck, I hope you all manage to fix your issues and get XP or whatever running. Crysis was the only reason for my efforts and it's really paid off. Will be buying the whole game tomorrow.

Brand new iPod 5 and periodically will pick up our home Wifi, but when it loses it, it's impossible to reset. Says "incorrect password" and it is the correct password. No issue at all with Android devices or anything else on Wifi. Only the iPod and an iPhone 4. My iPhone 6 had the same issue, but I was able to correct it by resetting the network. This "fix" doesn't work on the iPod or old iPhone. Just keeps saying "incorrect password" no matter what you do. Connection has been reset, passwords have been changed... Nothing fixes it. And both are operating on the latest iOS update. I just updated it. Still doesn't work. How crazy.
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network. Yes
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before? no
Try the following to rule out a software problem: (Not clear what you did)
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router

- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Since it connects to other networks that indicates a problem with your network

Cannot run Simulink dll at the same time as running real-time target VI
Hello
What I am trying to do is run a model dll created in Simulink to control some servo's through a CompactRio 9014.
At the moment I have managed to create three VIs
1) In the FPGA target that performs the PWM on a desired channel
2) That takes the value of a network variable which contains the position required and feeds that to the 1st VI
3) A VI that runs on the host computer that modifies the value of the network variable to change the position
I can get these three VIs working and the servo controlled, but when I try to update the value of the network variable using the simulation, by deploying the simulation to the RT target and running it, it says
'Access denied: This target is already in use by another project or host computer.'
I assume as this is because the project is already connected to the cRio, so I disconnect and am able to deploy the model files.
However when I try to run one of the VIs in the RT Targer along with the simulation I get the error:
'This VI is downloaded on the target but is not present in the project you are attempting to deploy. All VIs on the target will be closed unless you choose to add the missing VI to the project.'
With a large number of missing VIs...
Would I be doing this wrong, i.e. is there a much simplier way to control the FPGA inputs using the simulation, or is there something I could have missed?
Thanks
Geoff
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi Geoff,
It seems that you are on the right track except for some concepts that I
want to review:
A CompactRIO or cRIO has 3 different components:
1)
Real-Time controller (in your case a 9014)
2)
FPGA backplane (this could be a 9102, or a 9103, 910x,
etc)
3)
I/O modules (like a 9401, 9263, etc)
When you write an application for cRIO you usually have three different VIs:
1)
Host VI – This VI is used as a user interface and runs in
Windows (under “My Computer” in the LabVIEW project) This VI is optional because
you might want to run the cRIO headless.
2)
RT VI – This is the VI that runs in the cRIO controller
(in your case the 9014). This VI lives
under the cRIO target in your LabVIEW project.
3)
FPGA VI – This is the VI that runs in the cRIO
backplane like a 9102. This lives under
the cRIO >> FPGA target in the LabVIEW project.
The ONE application that I was talking about in my last post is for the RT
VI. There can only be one RT VI that
gets deployed. If you want to run
multiple VIs in the cRIO RT, then you need to run those VIs as subVIs of one
top level VI.
LabVIEW Simulation Interface Toolkit (SIT) has a tool called the SIT
Connection Manager that creates two of these three VIs for you (the RT and the
Host VIs).
Please refer to the following link about the SIT Help. Go to the How To section. It is organized in a kind of step by step
tutorial.
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371504D-01/
In your case it is going to be a bit more difficult because of two things:
One, you are using a VxWorks target.
Two, you want to use your own FPGA VI.
Let’s address each one of them:
1)
VxWorks target- To use the SIT Connection Manager you
need to use a DLL not an OUT file, even though you need the OUT file for the cRIO VxWorks target. The reason is
that this tool needs to read the compiled model to know what the
parameters, signals, inports and outports of your model are. Because the tool runs in Windows you cannot
open an OUT file (meant for a different OS) so you need to give it a DLL.
For this reason you will need to compile your model file into an OUT
file and a DLL. Once you give a DLL to
the Connection Manager and you select your cRIO as the execution target, keep
doing the rest of the steps as the help says.
LabVIEW will identify that you are using a VxWorks target and will
download the OUT file to the cRIO.
2)
Custom FPGA VI – LabVIEW SIT has some FPGA bitfiles
(compiled FPGA VIs) that it can use.
When you open the SIT connection manager and go to the Hardware IO
mapping section it asks you to select the bitfile. If you want, you can select one of the
shipping bitfiles but iIf you
want to use your own, then you will need to do some changes to your FPGA VI , recompile it and
save the bitfile in a specific location with a specific name.
Please refer to the following link for
instructions on how to create your custom FPGA VI:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371504D-01/lvsithowto/sit_h_custfpga/
What I would suggest is that you start with a very simple example and using
one of the shipping bitfiles. Look into
the following path for a very simple Sine wave generation example:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\examples\Simulation
Interface\Sine Wave
Because you are running a VxWorks target you will need to recompile this
example model sinewave.mdl to an OUT file.
To get a better understanding of what SIT does you might
want to check some quick videos. Go to
http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/11763 and under the
resources tab there are two videos called Demo - <something>...
Hope this helps and let me know if you have more questions.

changed apple id now i can not get in to icloud can not delet it with with out old password. i read several posting on the same problem but no fix i guess apple cant fix it.
Hello catfish17,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you changed your Apple ID and are trying to log into iCloud with your new Apple ID.
It sounds like you are trying to follow these steps to change your logged in Apple ID, but you do not have the password for the old Apple ID:
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

I am using Logic Pro 9 with two MXL 990 microphones in my piano and a Rode NT1A for vocals. I have tried recording with added reverb and keeping getting not a natural reverb sound, but a rather "pixilated" one that does not sound natural. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this issue? I have tried using Silververb and Space Designer, and both result in the same problems. Thank you!
This is asking for the impossible! It does not sound natural because maybe it isn't and in judging so whats your reference anyway. If you are in dire need of some natural sounding room you can go and record it yourself. But even then, the chances that it sounds like you imagined it, are very slim.
There are very decent sounding reverberation plugins, based on artificial reverb generators or convolution-style, the last one is said to sound more 'natural' then the first one. Be it as it maybe, it really is like cooking food. You got all the ingredients for this delicious taste at hand and believe it or not to reach a satisfying result this is not enough, because if you do not mix the ingredients in the right proportion you will end up with a different dish you thought you'll get. This is exactly the same when one would mix audio, I dare say.
So treat yourself to some good ingredients and the rest is up to you, namely: taste and experience!
And looking at some of my past music productions I always find the same plugins for the 'ambient' task:
Altiverb by Audio Ease when I have acoustic ensembles (classical music mostly), the Sony Oxford Reverb in studio productions, Bricasti when I have to deal with drums and MMultiBandReverb from MeldaProduction for all-round stuff. Thats the base I start from, after that I can end up with dozen Reverb plugins which basically all are doing the same thing but just in a tiny different way. -
We have a 10 person office - all either use Acrobat XI or Reader XI. One person is on Windows 7. The rest are on Windows 8 (not 8.1). I say this because I thought it was a Windows 8 issue, but having the same problems on the Windows 7 machine. We are all having problems opening pdf's sent to us from other firms. This has increased in frequency over the past two months. We've checked with the various firms, and their other clients are not having problems. Some pdfs open but with a lot of missing content and strange formatting, others won't open at all. There are different error messaged depending upon the doc. Some are regarding the fonts, for example "can't extract the embedded font...." Others are "insufficient data" errors. There are more, but for purposes of keeping this short, I won't include them. Another unrelated issue is that we are having trouble printing excel files to pdf. The files end up with bad formatting. I've worked with adobe "chat" support, our IT consultants with no resolution. I also haven't found any similar "known issue" online Would very much appreciate any assistance. Thank you
The font embedding can be a problem if not done and you are trying to view the PDF and do not have the font on your machine. Acrobat will often try to find a replacement, but it is not always a good choice. Sometimes the "Use Local Fonts" button can be changed in state to resolve some of the viewing issues.
If you are trying to copy or export info, then it is important that you have the fonts on your system. Otherwise, the message you are getting about embedded fonts would not be showing up.
As for Excel formatting, be sure that the Adobe PDF printer is selected in the printer screen before you look for the paging and formatting of the file. In most OFFICE programs, if you change the printer the application will reflow the document to best match the printer (called "using printer metrics"). So check before you create the PDF that the layout is correct. -
I have the same problem as many other users: updated iTunes on Windows 7 on Jan 26, 2014 and iTunes does not open. First message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 126)". When will Apple fix this? Don’t feel like uninstalling all Apple software and then re-installing it as suggested, as I am on a terribly slow internet connection while travelling in the DR Congo.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Cannot open CS6 Bridge. Always the same ERROR: Bridge has a problem and cannot read the cache
Cannot open CS6 Bridge. Always the same ERROR: Bridge has a problem and cannot read the cache
Try this. This is for CS6 but substitue CC and Bridge 6.
~library/caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6 and inhere should be 2 files:
Adobe Bridge Plug-in Cache
and the folder called Cache. Inhere should be 4 folders called '254', '1024', 'data' and 'full'
All those folders carry the content of the respective quality of the thumbs and preview as well as 100 % cache and Bridge database.
Any way, Since you have not used Bridge you have no relevant amount of cache and I would suggest you quit both PS and Bridge and manual delete both the items (plug in and folder called cache at the end of the Bridge CS6 path mentioned above.
(both files will refresh itself after a restart of Bridge).
To be on the save side also visit in same user library the folder Preferences and look for the file called "com.adobe.bridge5.plist" (yes it is Bridge 5 that comes with CS6, all Adobe apps have their own version number and they are presented in the same Suite version. CS6 has PS version 13 and Bridge version 5 )
also drag this file to the trash.
Then hold down option key (alt) while starting Bridge and this should give you the option to reset the preferences as mentioned earlier in this thread.
Choose reset prefs and try again. -
hi dera i have a problem whit itunes is not opening.
whil i am trying to open it nothing happens.
i also removed sc info files still i have the same problem
i any one know to how plz..........You can try mp3val, that might fix them up.
Alternatively, if the files are in a standard <Artist>\<Album>\## <Name> layout then turn off Copy to iTunes Media folder when adding to library and use my script TagFromFilename to fill in the missing information.
iTunes often has an issue handling files with multiple tags. These may be introduced by other software such as Windows Media Player, Winamp, or MediaMonkey. Files may have both ID3v1 and ID3v2.x tags, and if I read the ID3 specification correctly, there is also support for multiple ID3v2.x tags each coded for a different language. When there are multiple tags iTunes behaviour can sometimes be unpredictable. In some cases edits to the metadata can be written to one tag, and visible in Windows Explorer, but iTunes insists on reading back unchanged values from the other. In such cases you can use Convert ID3 Tag > None several times followed by Convert ID3 Tag > v2.3 and whatever iTunes knows about the file will be written back to a clean tag. Embedded artwork is erased so needs to be reattached. Using my script CreateFolderArt before and then after the tag conversions is one way to workaround that part of the problem.
Also of note is that certain pre-defined genres are represented by a code number rather than text so that they can be presented in the local system language. There is always a possibility that Windows and iTunes have slightly different values in the look-up tables for some of these.
