How do I upgrade my drivers to get the best from my 9800Pro (fast writes?)

Hi - my first post so take it easy
Was told that this was the place to ask regards my PC
Its a Medion PC which has a Micro-Star MS-6701 Motherboard - as I understand it this board is an OEM one which MSI has made for the Medion Company
I wish to upgarde the drivers for the motherboard so that I cabn get the best from it and enable Fast Writes if possible
The reason for this is that even though I have a Radeon 9800Pro - 512MB of Ram and a P4 2.6GHz PC I am only getting a 3D mark of about 4800
Can anyone help me please ?

    epson scanner perfection 1640 SU <folder is not writeable> seem to happen after mountian lion upgrade .epson site says get the driver from apple. apple says no updates available. I had this problem the last time I upgraded but I do not recall how I fixed it.

    Hello Achates:
    I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
    Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

  • Getting the best from

    I know this is called an MP3 forum but we should remember that Creative are producing "windows" products which support WMA as well. WMA is always improving (MP3 is stuck). Well I have been trying to make WMA files "I" find acceptable. I wasn't happy with the sounds produced by the standard CVR/VBR settings avialble with the usual software, be it Creative or Media Player on my Zen sleek. I want clear treble on cymbals, and good bass. I would prefer this without tweaking using the "custom equaliser". So I decided to download the Windows Media Encoder. After some experimention I found using the Quality75 setting fitted my bill. I can access this setting using Exact Audio Copy, something many using with Lame. To me it sounds better than other VBR compressing options available with Media Encoder even at similer bitrates, it just sounds more like what I hear on my Hi-Fi.
    P.S. Quality90 is even better but exceeds the 320 limit far too often. Yes I could use the VBR Peak encoder but this dosn't sound as good as Quality75 in my opinion. It would be great if microsoft would allow more settings such as 80 or 85.

    Yes, this software gives you more control over how WMA files are encoded, not to mention a command-line version that can be used with EAC to rip everything from scratched discs to XCP discs (after turning autorun off to block the rootkit, of course). Go to this site, change the dropdown from "Windows Media Player" to "Windows Media Encoder", select the 9 Series encoder, and download.

  • How to get the best from 8gb ram in macbook pro_bootcamp Win 7

    Hi guys,
      I know what you are going to say, (run 64 bit windows) but bare with me.  I have brand new 2011 unibody macbook pro 13" 2.8 ghtz dual core 8gb of ram.  When running bootcamp windows 7 it shows only 2.16 gb ram usable.  I thought that 32 bit windows can handle 4 gb ram so how can I get at least that much grunt out of the machine.
       Yes, yes thanks for telling me that I can use 64 bit windows 7, but see I have downloaded a lot of autodesk 32 bit software (at 3gb per program) so it will be a month or so before my broadband is up for that kind of downloads again. I was wondering if you have a solution to at least get closer to the 4gb that should be available.
    Cheers

    The only way to have Windows  use 8GB ram is to, as you said you don't want to hear, use 64 bit Windows. Do the math 2^32 vs 2^64. It does not matter that you don't want to hear it, it is what it is.
    BTW, 32 bit programs will run in 64 bit Windows.
    And the reason you Windows can't use all your 4GB ram is because some of that 4GB is being used by your graphics etc.

  • How to get the best from a PC? Some guides...

    I have recently made available three different 'guides' (from my perspective of course) and I thought it might be worthwhile to have it all in one place:
    1. A PC buying guide for NLE.
    2. Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.
    3. Guide for installing and tuning a Vista 64 PC.
    I hope you can profit from these postings.

    Harm,
    Have not gone to 64-bit yet, so I only linked to that post. Have not read it, but will, prior to the next build
    As for the hardware, some of the comments are on more current CPU's, etc., than I have. From my reading, I do not disagree with any of it.
    For the I/O layout, the only thing that I saw (and think I commented on when that first was posted) was the FW-800/external. My comment was based on my personal experiences with my hardware and SD material only. I do not debate that eSATA is better, but I have a lot invested in FW-800 externals, so have not made that jump. Also, my workstation's slots are full, so no eSATA for that box. I do recall that Jim Simon tried FW-800 and had nothing but problems. Guess that I have been lucky. To date, they have worked well for shuffling some Projects between the laptop and the workstation. As an aside, if I can work by the pool for much of a Project vs being in a dark interior room - guess which I will choose. So long as I can struggle by with the 17" monitor, I'll go for the outside. Need the big screens, or more power, and I just cart the external upstairs. Still, I do not disagree with your comments.
    Though I have a pretty good I/O system, when I do a new build I will definitely have your article in hand. Things have changed, since my last new machine and there is no reason to not incorporate the latest/best into it. I also have a printout of your "middle-of-the-road" workstation, and will likely model off of that too. Yes, things will change between now and then, but you provided a good template for me to work from.
    In total, I really liked all three articles (see comment on the OS one above). You distilled many discussions into concise form. Now, you also furnish a single link to all. Beats doing a Search on the fora, trying to remember which thread Harm, Jeff, Jim, Bill, Eddie, et al replied to with hardware suggestions. You put it all together for all users.
    Thanks,

  • How to get the best from Lightroom with my Nikon D700

    I am having real trouble with the results from Lightroom from my Raw files.
    I love Lightroom but am going to have to use another program unless I can figure out what to do.
    Can anyone give me any advice?
    I have never had to use presets etc. so am in need of basic help please.

    Ed
    I assume you tried to:
    If you are on Mac OS X, drag the "Camera v2 beta" folder to:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles
    Do you have admin rights on your mac?  Otherwise, I am not to up on macs, and hopefully someone with more expertise can help with the installation.

  • Getting the best from Connect: Ideas, Examples?

    I'd like to enhance the production values of my Connect webinars and am looking for examples of how others have used it in creative and unique ways. Are there any tricks or interesting techniques for using any of the pods in creative ways? I want to get as much out of the  Connect interface as  possible. Any suggestions?

    Thanks. That's useful but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm trying to bring a level of production value to my webinars that goes beyond those fixed by Connect and am looking for unique and creatives uses beyond the basics. It may not exist as Connect makes creativity difficult in this environment, but I thought someone might have squeezed a bit of beauty out of it. If so, I'd like to see it.

  • A check on my settings to get the best out of them.

    Just checking base with you as you always offer me the best advice.
    Have just received my extra 2gb ram (yipee) which now takes me to the max 4gb allowed for my OS.
    Everything is working as it should so l'm wondering whether l'm now getting the best from my system (via the settings).
    I can overclock the FSB via rocker switches on the mobo by either 10%,15% or 20%. Can't notice any difference if set at 15% or 20% so have left it at 10% as that seems to show more of a difference over the default than the higher settings. Don't know why it's not faster at 15% or 20% but l can't see it.
    Also, if l look at my virtual memory settings in System Properties, for the C drive it is set to custom size, initial size 2046mb, maximum size 4092mb. For the D and F drives which have plenty of space on them, the buttons are just set to no paging file.
    The total paging file size for all drives says minimum allowed 2mb, recommended 4990mb, currently allocated 2046mb.
    Would you recommend any changes for any of these settings?
    Thank you

    Surely a 32 bit system can take 4gb with most of the 4th gig being used up by the OS and video, which means the actual ram available would be a tad over the 3gb mark, ie 3.2gb ish so you need the 4gb to acheive this?
    You're sort of right... of course, you can physically have 4GB of memory, but when using a 32bit OS due to addressing limitations there'll only be about 3-3.5gb available RAM. You can use a 64bit OS which is able to address all the RAM, but any 32bit software you run will face the same limitation.
    You'll notice I have 4GB RAM in my machine, but I only use a 32bit OS. I'm not really bothered about having only 3.2GB RAM available, as its still more memory than I had previously, and 3.2GB is more than enough for my needs. There isn't any 64bit software available yet that I'm desperate to use, so I'm holding off on installing a 64bit OS, its certainly not worth it yet just so I can have that 'full 4GB' to use.

    You cannot utilize 4096MB in 32bit enviroment, to do so you need 36bits ... just simple math
    I doubt if anyone is going to create a 36bit CPU architecture and operating system, just so someone can utilise 4GB of RAM.

  • System Overload & How to get the best G4 Performance

    Okay all you Logic and OSX Gurus. I need your help. I've finally made the LOGIC leap from OS9 and have hit the SYSTEM OVERLOAD wall like many of you before me.
    I've been pouring over this, and many other Forums and Blogs, for about two weeks now, and have tried many of the fixes / solutions to no avail. I estimate I'm now getting about 25% of my OS9 Logic performance from Logic in OSX.
    One specific case in point is this. A four minute song sketch. No tempo changes. Four midi tracks, 6 Audio instruments and 2 EFX (1 Guitar Amp Pro, 1 Space Designer that's no even being used).
    I have unsuccessfully tried to Bounce this to disc for two weeks now. The AUDIO and DISK I/O Meters barely register until the GUITAR AMP PRO track brings the AUDIO METER up to about 1/3rd usage. At various points in the Bounce the G4 will completely FREEZE, and I will have manually restart.
    THINGS I HAVE TRIED, and continue to try are:
    - Repairing Permissions
    - Trashing Preferences
    - Updating MOTU Drivers
    - Changing Processor performance setting - which I cannot do BTW, because my system does not seem to support this option.
    - Closing all Widgets
    - Freeing up more Space on my Mac OSx startup disk (I now have 78.41 Gig available on a 114.49 Gig drive)
    - Run Cocktail to clean up System logs and temporary files
    - FREEZING TRACKS as a temporary 'fix'. This did nothing BTW but add more strain to the CPU and I still had about 1/3rd the usage with my GUITAR AMP Plugin (and it still crashed).
    - Increased AUDIO BUFFER to 1024
    So, (and I guess this is really two sides of the same question)...
    1) How do I FIX this SYSTEM OVERLOAD problem, and
    2) How do I "optimize" my Dual 1.25 G4 in order to get the best performance possible out of LOGIC PRO?
    OTHER QUESTIONS I HAVE ARE:
    - Does the G4 have the processing power needed to run LOGIC PRO?
    - I'm confident adding RAM will "help" (can't hurt), but am I really dealing with a RAM Problem here or, again, can these processors really handle it?
    BTW - I'm not looking for an excuse to go shopping for a Quad G5 (I mean who needs an excuse... . But, I'm really trying to determine if at the end of the day I will spend money on RAM, Hard Drives, whatever..., and then still be frustrated and end up shopping.
    - Are SCSI drives a problem with Tiger / Logic? These Cheetah drives are fast (10,000 RPM), reliable, and have been great drives to record on. I'm trying to do this simple bounce to one of the Cheetahs and as I said it's just not happening.
    - Does the startup volume size effect performance?
    - Does the amount of free space on the start up drive effect performance?
    - Firewire 400 vs 800? My sample library is on the Firewire drive, and I'm thinking this does not pull a lot on the CPU as these get loaded into memory before playing? Am I right about that? It is Firewire 400.
    A long letter and a lot of questions. I thank you all in advance for any answers, guidance or direction you can give. Please also let me know if there is something I HAVEN'T asked, looked at or should be doing.
    Best,

    And after months of using Express, and a week of
    using Logic, I hadn't had a system overload until
    today. Now I'm having them all the time. It wasn't a
    set up change, it wasn't running on the battery, it
    wasn't running software monitoring, it's set up with
    512 i/o buffer, medium processor buffer. And it
    wasn't brought on by number of tracks - that's for
    sure. After it started happenind and I took a break &
    came back, I was sitting on my couch, Powerbook in
    my lap, tapping a beat in with the onscreen
    keyboard.... a SINGLE instrument, mind you. NO plugs,
    no other tracks of ANY kind. And it happened.
    There's a lot of great, relevant and very helpful info on this forum and it all helps and it all counts. But..... so many people are suffering this when moving up to Pro 7 from either Pro 6 or Express. One expects a change in system load when a major update comes along but more and more people are reporting that simply recording 1 or 2 tracks of audio, pure, no plug-ins or EQ is causing an overload whereas in the previous version(s) this was easily accomodated. This, you may have guessed, has happened to me as well. Are we to accept in 1 version increment (albeit a major one) there is such a massive increase in demand from hardware that you cannot record a pure no-plug-in stereo track? When going back to 6.4.3 it will happily record 8 at once, let you EQ and reverb and then do another 8 AND then another. With no troble at all.
    It is pointing more and more towards fundamental flaws in the programming. Did L7 come out too soon? Are we just beta testing what is pro software? We are only on 7.1.1 and 6 went to 6.4.3 but at no stage was it this bad at the fundamentals of what the App is for. I love Logic, I really do, but I think, even with all the great help we are fighting what Apple should be addressing. Not that you can find/contact/talk to or get any sort of response from them.
    I have tried but have gone back to 6.4.3 until 7.1.2 or even 7.2 appears, but I'm not paying for 7.2. My £200 upgrade from 6.4.3 is now sitting on a shelf desperately wanting to use it.

  • How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my Canon 70d?

    How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my canon 70d?

    Normally, if there are any updates for your version of PSE then they should be offered to you automatically.  However, you can also check if there are any new updates by going to:
    Help >> Updates
    If your camera is relatively new then even by getting the updates you may not be able to edit raw files from the new camera because old versions of PSE are normally not updated as soon as the new version hits the market.  We are currently at version 13 so version 10 was stopped long time ago.  However, you can see a workaround at this link where I posted a video to get things moving:
    <Why can't I open my RAW files from my Nikon D7000 ?? I can open RAW files from my old Nikon D70's but not my D7000...>
    Hope this helps.

    I would like to purchase Contribute. We currently do not have any of the creative suites or Contribute. How much does it cost to just get the single user for Adobe Contribute CS5? And how do I purchase that?

    I think it's just a little over $200 if you don't have an older version to upgrade. Around $100 if you do.
    You can get it at www.adobe.com/products/contribute.html.
    Click the "buy" button (top right of the page) then select "full" next to where it says "I want to buy". Add it to your cart (at that point you should get the exact price).

    Hi Rob, Thanks for your input. The temp location is on the C drive with 228 GB free space. My other drives have 123 GB and 204 GB of free space. I can see how the 32 bit set up is perfectly extracted when it stops when coming to the 64 bit set up. I have done the exercise several times and also made new downloads. I am using Norton 360 and Malwarebytes anti-malware but the dowload from Adobe should be trusted.

  • How to get the values from popup window to mainwindow

    HI all,
       I want to get the details from popup window.
          i have three input fields and one search button in my main window. when i click search button it should display popup window.whenever i click on selected row of the popup window table ,values should be visible in my main window input fields.(normal tables)
       now i am able to display popup window with values.How to get the values from popup window now.
       I can anybody explain me clearly.
    Thanks&Regards
    kranthi

    Hi Kranthi,
    Every webdynpro component has a global controller called the component controller which is visible to all other controllers within the component.So whenever you want to share some data in between 2 different views you can just make it a point to use the component controller's context for the same. For your requirement (within your popups view context) you will have have to copy the component controllers context to your view. You then will have to (programmatically) fill this context with your desired data in this popup view. You can then be able to read this context from whichever view you want. I hope that this would have made it clear for you. Am also giving you an [example|http://****************/Tutorials/WebDynproABAP/Modalbox/page1.htm] which you can go through which would give you a perfect understanding of all this. In this example the user has an input field in the main view. The user enters a customer number & presses on a pushbutton. The corresponding sales orders are then displayed in a popup window for the user. The user can then select any sales order & press on a button in the popup. These values would then get copied to the table in the main view.
