I keep getting graphics errors codes when trying to run simple things
In a nutshell, I bought a laptop, installed the game "Spore", and played it FLAWLESSLY. A couple hours later the computer started acting up, and turns out the hard drive is bad (a scanned it through a usb device on another computer and it had many
bad sectors) So I buy a new Hard drive, install Windows 7 Ultimate on it, and updated the graphics drivers and installed the latest version of DirectX on it, but now when I try to play Spore, I keep getting the error "could not create the graphics device.
Direct X is not available. [1002]" and when I try to use windows movie maker I get the error message: "Windows movie maker cannot start. Make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements before trying to start Movie Maker again, and then
try to update the drivers for your video card if Movie Maker still doesn't start."
I used the DxDiag tool and for some reason the apporox total memory (for my graphics card) read n/a.
my standard VGA Graphics Adapter (AMD ATOMBIOS) has up-to-date, Digitally signed drivers
my hardware acceleration is turned all the way up
I have the latest version of DirectX installed
I have an I7, 4GB of RAM, this laptop has incredible modern features.... why can't I get simple things to work when I exceed the system requirements by so far, AND I'VE USED THEM IN THE PAST ON THIS MACHINE???... the
only reason I bought this laptop was so I can use movie maker faster and play games.... Thank you for your tech knowledge....

Windows 7 includes DirectX 11 in its baseline and it is not necessary to install another version of it. Your problems may be caused by the installation of the version of DirectX you installed. Uninstall the one you installed and see if you
still have the errors.

I keep getting this error code while trying to import a cd to my itunes: "Error occurred while converting the file. The disc you are attempting to use is full. removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space." What does this mean?
Well it probably means exactly what it says... How much free space is there on your hard drive where the iTunes Media folder resides? I believe there is also an obscure bug that can occur when software doesn't read the true value of the free space properly, and the workaround is, perversely, to duplicate some content so that with less actual free space the software in question perceives it as more. I've no idea if iTunes is affected by such a bug.

HT5701 why do I get 3072 error code when trying to download 6.0.4
why do i get 3072 error code when trying ot download 6.0.4
Some details, please?
Based on the version number, you seeking to upgrade Safari?
What OS X version?
How are you upgraded or downloading the software? (Directly downloaded, or via Software Update?)
Have you tried quitting all applications, and then performing the Software Update? (Discussion per this thread — but that thread is for iTunes, and I'm guessing you're looking at Safari here?) If that doesn't work, I'd keep everything quit, reboot, and try again. -

I keep getting an error message when trying to download itunes. It says it can't find "msvcr80.dll, but when I search for it on my computer it is there. My itunes was working just fine before I got the message to download the latest upgrade. I've not had any problems doing that before now, so don't really know what to do.
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 move on to the next item)
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.

I am getting this error code when trying to open an mpeg4 file "OSStatus error -12909"
Has anyone had this happen to them.
I am new to the support community.
ThanksIs this coming from a link, or from something you are trying to type in the address bar?
Try replacing the "html" at the start with "http",
so if you have html://somesite.edu,
change it to http://somesite.edu. -
