Having problems with BIOS detecting CD/DVD drive

So heres the deal. I have a Samsund DVD/CD-rw drive and my motherboard is a MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R K8T800. I built a complete new system. I got everything up and running then yesterday all of a sudden my CD drive isn't being recognized. So I check BIOS and its not being detected there either. I checked everything, replaced cable and stuff. Finally I was able to get it to work but I had to clear CMOS. After clear it detected it again and everything was fine and dandy til today. Same thing happened. Had to clear CMOS to get to detect again.
I thought maybe my drive was bad but I don't see how clearing CMOS would fix that. And the ONLY way I was able to get it to detect again was clearing CMOS.... sigh. And I really don't like doing that.

Hi
Have you tried uninstalling the drive in device manager, then letting it re install, also DVD drives often need additional drivers, which can be got from makers site.
Cheers

Is anyone having problems with the new Xerox printer driver update from Apple? My 8700S is no longer working with QuarkXPress.

I allowed a System Update that included a Xerox Printer update. I am running a MacPro 10.6.8 with Quark 8.5.1 and a Xerox ColorQube 8700S. EVERY was working perfectly before the "update" but afterwards anything sent to the printer from Quark would stall the printer. I went to the Xerox website and downloaded their Printer Driver and tried again. Now I could print from Quark but I can NOT get to the printer window to change the type of paper, etc. So, the problem still persists.
Should I try going into Time Machine and trying to find the Xerox Print Driver in the Library folder?
Should I upgrade the whole system software? (I wouldn't mind doing that AFTER I get this magazine off to the commerical printer)
Should I upgrade to Quark 9?
Any help here would be apprciated.
Thanks - Rob

As a general rule of thumb, I never install updates until I read its info and I am having problems with my current software. I hide the updates until I need them. Usually this happens when I update or upgrade my os. I don't fix what ain't broken is my golden rule.
It is possible that you need to update or upgrade Quark in order for your newer printer driver to work. First I would try the following....
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.
If your printer does not work afterwards, update or upgrade Quark. If that does not work, contact the printer manufacturer.

Having problems with new WebLogic MS SQL driver WLS 8.1

Hi,
We've recently migrated our application from WLS 6.1 to WLS 8.1. We use an MS SQL database. In 6.1 we used the (now deprecated) weblogic.jdbc.mssqlserver4.Driver driver. In 8.1 we now use the new weblogic.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver driver. We now are seeing NullPointerExceptions with the new driver that we never saw when running in 6.1 (with the old driver). The exception is occuring at the driver level. I'll paste some of the stack traces below but here is a quick synopsis of our usage pattern:
-standard get-use-close pattern on the connection for each request (connection is closed in finally block).
-pool size: min 1, max 7, increment 5
-test on reserver enabled
-we are simply reading data (no updates)
-we use a single thread that hits the database so there is only ever one active application thread hitting the DB.
-we are using a stored proc.
-we setTimeout on the statement (initial testing seems to indicate that query timeout seems to be at the root of the problem)
The problem seems to occur when statement timeouts occur. I can recreate the problem by setting the statement timeout to 1 sec and throwing a lot data at the DB. What seems to occur is a query hits the timeout and a SocketException is thrown, subsequent queries then throw a NullPointer in the driver layer. Again, this is the behavior under WLS 8.1 with the new weblogic.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver driver. If I use the old driver (weblogic.jdbc.mssqlserver4.Driver) under WLS 8.1 all I get is the SocketException (which is what I want). This application ran under WLS 6.1 with the old driver processing millions of queries without any problems.
We are wondering:
(1) Is this a known problem?
(2) Is there a recommended workaround?
Cheers, and as always thanks in advance for any help.
Stack traces follow.
Thank,
Mich
Here are some failure traces from the WLS 8.1 new driver:

Hi,
Thanks for the prompt reply. In answer to your questions:
What I would like to know is the exact code/sequence that causes the subsequent exception. See the sequence of calls at the end of this reply.
Is this in the same thread in the very next call?
I replicated the problem by going through the Web container (5 clients) therefore WebLogic threads are used in this case. I see from the logs 4-5 different execute threads at work (ex. ExecuteThread: '10' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default').
Does it happen all the time?
Although it is tough to tell for sure, once it starts happening it seems to happen most if not all the time.
Is it an attempted re-use of the same statement, or trying to use a different statement?
We do a connection.prepareStatement(QUERY_STRING) call everytime (there is only one per request/response cycle). I believe WLS caches statements behind the scenes though so I suspect at that level there is reuse. There is only one stored proc used (we vary the params per call).
Please show me your pool definition from the config.xml
file, and I will send you instructions to produce some
debug info that will get us to the heart of this matter.
<JDBCConnectionPool
DriverName="weblogic.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
MaxCapacity="5" Name="THE POOL"
PasswordEncrypted="XXX"
Properties="user=XXX;portNumber=XXX;databaseName=XX;serverName=X.X.X.X"
Targets="Server"
TestConnectionsOnReserve="true" TestTableName="TEST_TABLE" URL="jdbc:bea:sqlserver://X.X.X.X:XXX"/>Ok, do these things:
1 - Add our spy attribute to your pool definition, like this:
<JDBCConnectionPool
DriverName="weblogic.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
MaxCapacity="5" Name="THE POOL"
PasswordEncrypted="XXX"
Properties="user=XXX;portNumber=XXX;databaseName=XX;serverName=X.X.X.X"
Targets="Server"
TestConnectionsOnReserve="true"
TestTableName="TEST_TABLE"
URL="jdbc:bea:sqlserver://X.X.X.X:XXX;spyAttributes=(log=(file)spy.log;timestamp=yes)"/>
2 - Edit the start-weblogic script to add the spy jar (wlspy.jar) to the
classpath that the script creates for the server, eg:
set CLASSPATH=%WL_HOME%\server\lib\wlspy.jar;%CLASSPATH%
3 - Reboot and duplicate the problem as briefly as possible.
4 - In the same directory where you start the server, you will
now find a file named 'spy.log'. Please send it to me. ( j o e AT b e a DOT c o m )
I will try to reproduce the problem.
5 - Ask BEA support for the latest BEA driver package and install it according to
their instructions. Let me know asap if the probem is still there.
thanks

I am having problem with Segate free agent drive.

Since I installed Mountain lion on my iMac 24" I am having problem with a previously installed Seagate drive. When I am in finder and click on the Free Agent drive, I get the following error. VTDecoderXPCService quit unexpectedly. I click reopen and a few seconds later I get same message. This did not occur when I was using Snow Leopard Very annoying. Any suggestions? Note I have many movies and important data on this drive and don't want to lose. What does this error mean and is there some way to correct?

Having problems with front row (and the opticle drive)

I bought my macbook three days ago, and I'm already having problems. First off, I transfered music from my user profile on my old iMac G5 to the macbook via data DVD. My music collection had some purchaces from the itunes store, so I had to go through the authorization thing, and I can now play them just fine in the iTunes library, but the problem is, if I try to use the front row program to play my purchaced music, I get the message saying that I have to authorize it first. What the ****? Does anybody else have this problem? Also, like many other macbook users, I'm having problems with the opticle drive, such as getting cds to be recognized and other things of that nature.

I noticed that this problem started after I tried to use a software to unlock my drive's region...
I believe this is the problem. The VLC Media Player will usually play DVDs from other regions without changing the settings on your optical drive. You may need to reset your optical drive's firmware back to the original setting, make sure you have the region set for the one you'd prefer to use the most and then use VLC to play the other DVDs.

P.S. After two years in the Front Row forum, I'm not sure I've ever heard of anyone playing HDDVD_TS folders with Front Row. I'm not saying it won't work, but I'm not sure it's really supported either. I do have DVD Studio Pro myself, but I'll have friends or family staying with me for nearly the next month, so my evenings and weekends will be a bit full to try making one up for testing...

tornado2003,
What you need to do is boot into Safe Mode. Then delete the VGA Drivers.
After that boot normally and install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
Take Care,

I suspect you are attempting to burn an HD DVD, which will not play on a DVD player...
But if you provide more details such as the settings you are applying in Compressor, then we would be able to provide you more accurate information.
How are you adding the files to Compressor?
In FCP, what are your footage properties (command-9) and sequence settings (command-0)

Thanks for the reply.
Anytime I am getting too far ahead, then let me know and we can work together on putting the essentials together for this troubleshooting.
From your screenshot, you have a Windows 7 apparently 64 bit computer, lots of RAM. That computer would be great for Premiere Elements 11 Windows.
But Premiere Elements 8 is only a 32 bit application running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of your 64 bit system. So all that RAM is excessive in a 32 bit system with its limitation of max supported installed RAM being 4 GB (of which 3 GB or less of that are available).
So, the freezing and such could be explained by limited resources depending how much you have in the project when the freezing occurs and what formats are involved - like AVCHD. The burner not being recognized by Premiere Elements is probably another matter.
Let us start here....another place where you could be getting hit on the resource side of things....
1. Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer features in version 8 are notorious for grabbing system resources. If you have them enabled, that could account for much of the program freezing. So, please make sure they are not selected.
a. Background Rendering. In the Premiere Elements 8 workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General, and make sure there is no check mark next to Background Rendering option.
b. AutoAnalzyer. In the Premiere Elements workspace, click on the Organizer tab in the row below the selected Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and uncheck all the option under that.
To get back to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace go to File Menu/Exit.
For most of us, Premiere Elements 8 was unusable without the 8.0.1 Update. Did you install that? Have you ever worked successfully with your Premiere Elements 8 on the computer where it is now? And, was that with or without the 8.0.1 Update?
Let us stop here and see how we are doing.
Lots of other factors to get into including the burner recognition one.
Thanks for looking at the troubleshooting comments.

I'm having problems with thunderbolt adaptor for seagate 3tb external hdd. faults include drive disconnecting on its own etc

im having problems with a new thunderbolt adaptor bought for seagate ext drive 3tb.
It came with some software which i installed but the drive disconnects on its own etc.

There is a whole lot of bad going on there.
There are problems both drive errors and USB errors. I don't believe it.
I have a hunch the drive is starving for power.
USB devices are supposed to function all the way down to 4.25V. Not all do.
USB ports are supposed to be able to deliver 4.25V at the end of the cable at 500mA. Not all do.
USB 2.0 devices are not supposed to draw more than 100mA unless they negotiate for more. Some violate that.
USB 2.0 devices are never supposed to draw more than 500mA. Some violate that. Especially disk drives.
My guess is that your drive is drawing excess current and the voltage drop through the port and cable are dropping you below 4.25; or at least below the voltage that your drive goes "Tango Uniform"[1]. Does your drive have the option for external power? If so try it. Following up on wtx's comment; USB 3.0 is capable of delivering more power. Also, some drives have used a cable that violates just about every aspect of the USB specification: A "Y" cable that plugs into two host ports to provide more power to the guest. I despise this solution with every fiber of my electrical engineering existence; never-the-less, you might try one.

Having problems with my macBook Air wifi staying connected

I'm having problems with my MacBook Air staying connected to wifi....Help - Very frustrating!!!

When you go to perform a software update or make a system change it'll prompt you for an administrator's password. If you're the only user on the machine, you're also the administrator.
If you've forgotten this password it can be reset using Disc 1 of the System Restore DVDs that came with your computer. Because the MBA lacks an optical drive there are two ways to perform the password reset:
1. Purchase/use the external, USB-based MacBook Air SuperDrive
2. Use CD/DVD sharing between another, compatible computer on your network
Steps on how to do this are found between 46-49 in the owner's guide that came with your machine or it can be downloaded via the web at:

It sounds like you do not have an internet connection (wifi arcs in the upper left does not mean you have a connection) since Safari does not work also.. Try the following:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: 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 the router
- Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
