I've never seen this problem before!

When I start my half-life/counter-strike application, i hear the music and sound-effects of the opening, but there is nothing at all displayed on the screen.  This happened right after I switched my monitor to a flatscreen.  I'm not sure if the resolution/refresh is incorrect so it can't display or what, but i need help.  Reinstalling did nothing.  To clarify, I reinstalled directX, the video drivers, and the game.  I have this problem with definitely one other game and maybe others (Axis and Allies doesnt work in the same way haha).  And my computer is probably not simply "screwed" either, so thanks in advance if that was the advice you were going to give excited

A flatscreen or an LCD? It's amazing how many folks get those confused.
If it's an LCD, make sure the Hertz setting in the game (if it has one) does not exceed the Hertz limit of the monitor. I had this happen at work one time when I had my monitor switched out for an LCD. The game we played at lunch was set to 800x600 mode with a Hertz rate that exceeded the max for the LCD. It had the same effect you are describing - went blank every time but I could hear the start up music playing.
Hope this helps.

  • My itune gift card says it's not authorized.  I've tried to redeem by typing in upper case letters and lower case letters.  I've never had this problem before, what do I do so I can use this gift card?

    I bought an itunes gift card yesterday and I have tried to redeem, but when I do I get a message the card has not been authorized.  I have typed in typed in the code as seen mostly upper case and I have tried lower case also.  Neither is working.  I've never had this problem before.  Should the store where I purchased it from done something to supposedly "activate" it.  I'm at a loss.  I do not have the store reciept a friend does, and I'm sure she desposed of it.

    Yes, the retailer is supposed to activate the card. Otherwise they'd lose hundreds to shoplifting. What you normally should do is go back the retailer from whom you purchased the card and discuss the problem with them. They should either correctly activate the card or give you a new one. If they refuse to help, as some retailers do, or this was a gift so you cannot contact the retailer, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • I purchased two songs on my iphone and it did sync with itunes. Then i put the two new songs in a music folder and it won't sync the songs to the folder on my iphone. same phone same computer never had this problem before.

    In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in.  Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version.  I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues.  During the installation process it gave me an error message that said: 
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer.  I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I did not leave anything out from the error message.  It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..."  Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
    How do I repair this issue?  I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse.  I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi lustyln,
    I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
    For reference, here are your product specifications:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
    To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01867418&lc=en&product=4043282
    I hope this helps.

    Make sure all of the videos used in the project that is having that problem are from the same event. If they are from multiple events, move them all into one event.

    When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.'  The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

    What version of iPhoto?
    What colour profile is the shot?
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • ITunes fails to load.  Message is Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services. Never had this problem before trying to install this upgrade

    iTunes fails to load.  Message is "Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services." Never had this problem before trying to install this upgrade. How do I fix this?

    Dave, same problem here.  And I did go in as admin to Administrative Tools, Services, Apple Mobile Devices and tried restarting the service.  It seems there is a bug with the newest update, period.  All of the normal "easy" steps don't work.  Before I remove all of Apple's programs, including Bonjour....I'm running a full system scan.
    But the answer will be to remove all of the Apple stuff, then reboot, then use whatever utility you have to remove all temp files...then go download and install it again.  This has worked for several people (I read the thread before posting).  Win 7 64bit.  It just seems that Apple did not thoroughly test this new version.   Period.
    If Apple reads this...I have many computers...and whenever Apple wants to update something...it just about stops everything else that is going on.  Total memory hog, even with 16G RAM and dual quad core processors.  It has to learn to play nice with others.
    After the scan and I'm sure an hour or two of work...I'll re-post. 
    Of course if you do image back-ups, as I do, you can simply restore your drive to its previous state and run the previous version of iTunes, declining the update, until Apple gets it right.  Depending on the size of your drive, this could take hours.  It is a matter of choice, of course.

  • TS1398 since i update my iphone4 to ios6 i have a problem with my wi-fi i never had this problems before .

    since i update my iphone4 to ios6 i have a problem with my wi-fi i never had this problems before .

    If it is grey and/or won't allow you to slide it to the on position, follow these steps... More than likely you will need to get it serviced.
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Restart your iOS device.
    Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, see how to resolve those Wi-Fi issues.

    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library. Note that once done you cannot "share" apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must purchase your own apps under your own Apple ID. When you decide to split up like this one of you will need to re-purchase the apps that they want to use.
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
    Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I
    have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax.

    fair enough.  No need for any unnecessary posts either.  You issue had been addressed ad nauseum already in this forum had you bothered to search this forum (as forum etiquette would dictate) before posting.
    In any case, I hope that your problem was solved.

    Sounds like you synced your new phone to his backup, not yours.  Reset the phone and try again. Or maybe Restore will let you resync it, I'm not going to try it on my phone to find out.

  • Never seen this happen before, have you?

    Hi everyone,
    I have never seen this happen before, were I edit a segment of video about 2 minutes long, I render it out and afterwards the clips in my edit change completely to something different. It takes footage from the same tape and replaces my clips with random clips.
    Does anyone know what is happening and how to fix it.
    I have just erased and installed a fresh copy of OSX and all my programs have been newly installed, hoping it would resolve this issue.
    I could really use someones opnion.
    Thank you in advance for all your help

    Only thing I though of was deleting the clips, renaming the timeline, moving the entire project onto a new harddrive and erasing all the render files.
    If this does not work I am going to toss my MAC out the window!
