K7t 266 pro: promise chip won't work

the promise controller (as far as i know the: pdc 20265, fasttrack 100) won't start after install of both windows 2000 professional and windows 2003 server enterprise. In both cases it gives the errormessage: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
I've tried the following:
using the latest bios version: v 1.9 013102
load latest promise drivers from msi site both with install and after install
2 operating systems: win 2k prof & win2k3 serv. ent.
I'm really don't know what to try next, anyone any clue what may cause the problem?
Tnx a lot
System:
K7t 266 pro v 1.0
Bios v 1.9 013102
Athlon XP 2000+
512 mb ram
Asus V7100 graphics card
realtec ethernet card
on ide 0 and 1: 3x 160 gb maxtor and 1x dvd
on ide 3 (raid): 1x 120 gb maxtor

tnx for your reply osnavi,
The psu goes well, np at all. I finally found the reason of the problem: I downloaded the driver for the pdc 20265, where i should have choosen the fasttrack 100 Raid driver.
A not too smart action :(
Many greetz,

K7T 266 Pro 2 problem

Hi
I'm experiencing quite an annoying problem with my MSI K7T 266 Pro 2 mainboard.
The situation is this:
A bootable CD of mine asks me to 'press any key to boot from cd'
But it does not respond when I type... This seems to be a hardware problem: My keyboard doesn't seem to be useable at that time ( next to the aforementioned problem, num lock won't switch on or off )
It works perfectly before that ( i can press delete to get into the bios ) and after Windows starts booting it works again.
Is there any way to fix this ? My bios version is AMI BIOS 3.1 ( I haven't had a chance to flash the bios to 3.7 yet ).
Perhaps there's a BIOS setting that is causing this ?
With regards,
TumCerHum

GeForce4 Ti on K7T-266 Pro ??

I've just installed my new MSI GeForce4Ti4200 128mB on my "old" K7T-266 Pro board, and i get the infinite loop hangup.
(Prior to installing I did a diskformat and reinstalled XP), I'm using the same Via and NVidia drivers as I used when my GF2 pro card was on the board, which worked flawless.
From reading tons of posts on different forums today, I've learned that the GF4 uses a lot more power than a GF2 card, so the reason for the loop may be insufficient power-supply.
At the moment my ps is a 340W Chieftec.
Before spending cash on a new 450 - 500W power supply, - has anybody got a GF4 card to work on this board (with or without a massive power supply) ?
And if you got it working without a new ps, - How did you do it ??
thanks :(

Hi,
I have
- MSI K7T266 Pro2-RU
- MSI nVidia GeForce 4 Ti 4400-VTD (AGP4X)
- Chieftec HPC-300-202 (300W total, 5V/25A, 3.3V/20A)
- a lot of other stuff (see my earlier thread)
and it worked fine in WinXP for almost a year until just recently when I now get blue screens. I've started a new thread here some day ago about my problem and it seems to be either memory or motherboard error. My thread: K7T266 Pro2-RU unstable and memory errors
In your case I don't think it's the PSU, but I might be wrong.

HT4245 my iMessage on my macbook pro mountain lion won't work.

this is a very frustrating problem
my iMessage on my macbook pro mountain lion won't work.
it keeps on saying that ive entered the wrong passcode.
i even have my firewall turned off
plz help

Ok...
So I bought my MacBook Pro second hand, and it came with no installation discs, but I got Mountain Lion and had it installed and decided to back it up to a disc in case of this scenario. I followed some instructions to make a bootable disc and used it to install a fresh copy of Mountain Lion back when I first got it.
My problem is that without the boot partition of my MacBook's hard drive it doesn't seem to want to boot the disc.
Since I didn't want to buy a disc and I don't have another MacBook or know anyone near me that does, I decided to download a hackintosh iso and use it along with my other laptop to install iPC 10.5.6....this installed successfully and my hopes were that my MacBook would be able to boot it, so I reinstalled my MacBook's hard drive and to my surprise it booted, although not normally. Since it is hackintosh it has some rewritten boot features so it's not a true OSX, but it is fully functional. Since I finally had OSX booted I figured I was in the clear and would be able to install Mountain Lion from this, but then I found out that you have to have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or later in order to install Mountain Lion.
Now I'm stuck with a hactintosh version of Lion and still no way to get back to Mountain Lion, is there anything I can do now that I have a functional OSX installation?

Macbook Pro sound sometimes won't work. Took into Apple to be fixed. Still not working.

I purchased a Macbook Pro in July 2014 so my computer is still new. There is no damage to it (it has never been dropped and kept in case). My issue started about a month to month and half ago. When watching netflix the show will stop and when I try to hit play it comes up as an audio system error.
The sound won't work and then a few minutes later it'll turn on, as if it was lagging. For example I would send an email and try to hit the volume button to get the sound to work and then a little later I will hear the whooshing sound from the email and the sound adjusting sounds from the keys all at once. I followed the steps from netflix to fix it which were to uninstall and reinstall silverlight. That still didn't work. After a while I took it into Apple and they replaced the switch board. I got my computer back yesterday and today it is still not working. I have done everything I can think of to fix it. What else can I do?

Return it to the repair shop. Tell them they didn't fix it. Take full advantage of your warranty.

Flash Pro CC Debug won't work correctly

Hello. I am using trial version of Flash Pro CC and I think it's a glitch.
If there are multiple layers that have own frame script and run Debut(ctrl + alt + enter ), debug won't work correctly.
for example there are 2 layers on main stage Layer A and Layer B..
Layer A has this one trace script,
trace("1");
Layer B has those 2 trace scripts.
trace("2");
trace("3);
And I put breakpoint on trace("1"); of Layer A, and run Debug and use "Step In" to run all scripts manually.
And if trace("1"); is finished, you are supposed to get to trace("2"); but instead you will get to trace("3"); in this case.
I mean little yellow arrow, which tells me what script is running right now, is marked on trace("3");.. not on trace("2");
It seems Flash pro CC thinks Layer A's trace("1"); == Layer B's trace("2"). He can't recognize Layer A and Layer B are different.
I think it's a glitch. Does anybody notice this glitch?

Does anybody notice this glitch? I want to check if it's really a glitch or not before using newest version of Flash CC.
If it's a glitch, I will stick with CS6.

X58 Pro and esata - Won't work...

I am just beyond frustrated with esata now! Wouldn't work on my last board (Asus P5K-Deluxe) and now it won't work with my latest build on the X58 Pro.
I tried to connect my Thermaltake BlacX external storage device via esata today and nothing happened when it was connected. I tried two different cables, one brand new one and one that has the corners 'shaved'.
I got ticked off tonight and bought a Lacie D2 Quadra 1TB external drive with esata. No go for this as well. Both the Thermaltake and Lacie work via USB2 no problem but USB2 just isn't fast enough.
I have made sure the Extra RAID/IDE Controller was Enabled in the BIOS (which it was)...
Aanyone have any suggestions?

Sometimes it is that easy. That's why I asked about the OS you had. Some component recognition issues tend to arise from time to time with different versions. Drivers are another fun element in the mix as well. If it stops showing again, looks like a 'reboot' will fix it. As an afterthought, it may have something to do with the 'connect' sequence. Now & then if I forget (can relate to age), & leave a portable device connected after shutdown, at bootup, the boot sequence is all messed up. Anyway, glad it is working now.

Cinema Display and MacBook Pro - Power Button won't work

I have been using a 20" Apple Cinema Display (plastic model) with a 17" Powerbook and never had a problem. Recently I acquired a 15" MacBook Pro and it's like the power button on the display has no use at all. The only way to turn on the computer is opening the computer lid, turning it on and then closing it. The display also won't shutdown the computer, although the power button light reacts to the touch. The funny thing is that the display settings button work fine. Does anyone has a clue?

Malcolm, thank you for the answer! But I still don't understand why my new MacBook Pro, having exactly the same connector as my older Powerbook had, won't behave the same way? I'm still using the same DVI to ADC adapter, I'm wondering if the new Macbooks maybe have some PIN assignment disabled on its DVI connector. And anyway, shouldn't the power button be able to at least shut down the computer, as long as pressing it would just open the shut down dialog box?

DVD Studio Pro and Motion won't work

I posted this in the Tiger forum and didn't get a solution so I'm trying here.
After installing Tiger DVD Studio Pro and Motion quit working.
Both applications open (in the menu bar at least), but neither one will open all of its windows and nothing happens when I click on anything in the windows that do open. Nothing's frozen (the menus still respond), but there are no windows to work in.
I booted into Panther from my Backup drive and DVD SP works, but Motion won't even startup.
I'm hurtin' here. Can anyone help?
I'm using DVD SP v2.0.5 and Motion v1.0.1 on a Dual 1.42 PowerPC G4 with 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM and an ATI RADEON 9600 Mac Edition video card.

Premiere Pro CS6 just won't work

What am I supposed to do? It's been months since I've been able to edit because Premiere CS6 won't load any footage. It hangs up for hours simply trying to open project folders to import footage. I've been using Premiere for more than eight years, and I've never had it behave this way...everything was perfectly fine under CS5.5; but, once I upgraded to CS6, the program became useless.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Master Collection suite and Premiere Pro individually more than once and nothing works. Short of taking the software and external hard drive home, I have no other Macs with which to edit.

I will almost guarantee your Premiere broke when you upgraded to Mavericks.

I am connected to a time capsule both wirelessly and through ethernet...and state of the time capsule is solid green...the internet however doesn't work...The internet works fine when directly connected to my macbook pro but it won't work through the tc

I have deleted time machine preferences...restarted the modem a bunch of times, restored time capsule to it's original settings...after I first set it up in Airport Ulitity its shows a page quickly that states there is a internet problem, but the page quickly goes away before I can read what it says exaclty and states the internet connection problem is resolved...
However it's not resolved, I'm also having trouble doing a back up to my time capsule...I recently purchased a new macbook and retrieved/restore what was on the time capsule to the new computer...that worked fine...wireless worked fine...however when I tried to back up the new macbook...it would faii stating that there isn't enough room on the TC to do a back up...
I didn't end up keeping the new macbook, I was just using it/trying it out while my current macbook pro was being repaired (logic board)
Ever since I got my current macbook back from repair...my backups have failed due to their not being enough space to perform the back up...in the past the back ups would happen and old back ups would be replaced...
I think this has to do with my current computer having a new name after the repair..."Adam's macbook pro 2" vs "Adam's macbook pro"
The internet was working fine wirelessly through the TC a day ago, but it wasn't allowing my other laptop that was connected via ethernet access to the internet...I had a self assigned IP address error then...I don't have that problem now, but it's not transmitting internet at all...even though it's in a solid green state.
I have no problem completely wiping out my TC including the previous back ups on it...just don't know how to go about it...I have restored it to factory settings a bunch of times and created the network from scratch...just hasn't fixed the issue
Is there more prefences files I should delete

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

Satellite A30, Win XP Pro SP3 - modem won't work

Another issue with this A30 Satellite notebook
The built in modem doesn't work.
*Explanation:*
The driver is correct and downloaded from the Toshiba support site.
The modem is identified as 'Toshiba software modem amr' and is setted on com3 port.
When I click on 'diagnostic' and 'ask modem' (the right labels may be different, since my is an Italian win xp, I just translated the Italian labels), a window appears saying it's impossible to open the door (port) which the modem is connected to.
I have tried to change the modem com port to different numbers but the problem is the same.
I don't know whether the modem is an actual board connected in some way to the main board or is just built on the main board. If it would be the first case, I could change it ad see. btw, the mini pci slot is already occupied by the gigabyte Wi-Fi board, so the modem must be somewhere else.
It is strange, since I did at least 2 other win xp pro installations on this machine, always downloading and installing the proper drivers, and the modem never has worked.
Thanks
S.

Mac pro usb ports won't work when ipod is plugged in

I just bought a used Mac Pro (2008). 8 cores, 12 meg 0f ram, all of this so I wouldnt be limited as I was with my 4 meg Imac. I go to plug in my ipod, and none of the other ports work, I can't use the mouse or keyboard. Is there any way around this. I had to plug the ipod directly into the tower (the port wouldnt work) This is frustrating, I get this model to be more than capable for what I need, and something like this pops up...always something. If anyone out there has had this experience, and figured out a work around, please help. Thanks

okay, that doesn't sound usual. Sounds to me like the usb port is drawing too much power. Try doing a repair permission or SMC reset. If you are using it with a USB hub, maybe that needs plugging in to the wall, or maybe it has gone bad. I can't help you a lot, but just a little bit. repairing permissions is through Disk Utility. SMC goes like this: shut down the Mac pro, unplug the power cord, wait 15-20 seconds. reattach power cord, wait about 15 seconds, then press power button. you can maybe try resetting the PRAM-shut down Mac, turn on computer, hold down Command, Option,P and R keys before grey screen appears. Hold down until computer restarts again and you hear the 2nd startup sound. Let go of the keys. You can also check in "About this mac" (more info) to see if there's something wrong with the USB ports themselves.
Other than that, could be logic board battery. Maybe Archive and install. Sorry, the crystal ball has gone dark. I"m sure someone else can enlighten you more than I can. I always plugged my ipod directly into my tower via the front USB port...

My Pro access key won't work.

I purchased Quicktime Pro 7 in 2008 for my Black MacBook.The key works on this computer. I bought a Mac Mini in 2010.I went to re-install Pro on it today and the key does not work to activate it. (I installed a new HD 6 months ago). Do I have to make a separate purchase for Pro for each computer?
I'm sure I had Pro Installed on the original HD with the MacBook key.
Ross

Make sure you're entering in both the user name and key code exactly as in the email Apple sent you. Any error in either, including leaving off a salutation (for instance, if the email says "Mr. John Smith") will cause the registration to error.
And while QuickTime does not to my knowledge check for duplicate keys, the license does allow unlocking only on one computer per copy, so if you still are using QT Pro in your MacBook, you do need to purchase a second key for your Mac mini.
Regards.
