K8T Neo Won't install Windows XP - Linux works fine
OK, i just installed this MOBO, and I'm having a big problem. It boots up fine, finds everything in the BIOS, but it won't run or install Windows. I tried just using my old Windows XP install to begin with. I would get a stop error before the Loading Windows screen even came up. It wouldn't run in safe mode either. I don't remember exactly what the stop error was anymore. I then booted into Linux, and it runs fine. So, I decided to reinstall Windows. I put the CD in, it says press any key to boot from CD, and then it says "Checking hardware configuration" or something like that and freezes right there without giving an error. I have to manually reset the computer.
I tried deleting the Windows partition and running setup again with the same results. I even tried booting from a copy of the Windows disk, and tried installing Windows XP 64-bit edition as well. Same results with both. I reinstalled Linux because I messed up the boot record when I deleted the Windows partition, and the Linux install went flawlessly.
I have tried disabling SATA, USB, parallel ports, serial ports... everything I could think of in the BIOS. I've tried it with PnP OS support turned on and off. I've tried loosening the RAM settings as far as I can. Nothing seems to work.
It's obviously not a CD-ROM issue, because Linux installs fine. I've also tried multiple drives and media. Linux is also installed on the same HDD as the Windows partiton, so it shouldn't be a HDD problem. I've also tried swapping my Radeon 9800 out with a GeForce Ti 4600, and I've tried swapping the PSU supply out with another (although the other was only 250W).
For the life of me, I can't figure out what the problem may be. Anyone have any ideas?
- TIA
I really don't think it has anything to do with the PSU. I've been using this PSU for over 6 months now on this system (had a Soyo K8USA Dragon Ultra in there before... otherwise the same system) I've never had a problem, and I usually have a lot of crap running at once, e.g. DVD ripping/burning, file sharing, gaming, word processing, programming, browsing, etc., etc. Granted, it's not the best PSU in the world, but it gets the job done quite well. Also, now that Windows is installed, the problem has not reoccured.
The only thing I have noticed is that it takes quite a while to load the Windows loading screen now. This screen should come up almost immediately. Instead, there is about 30 seconds or so of waiting where all I see is a blank screen. Afterwards, everything runs fine. I have disabled the "show list of operating systems" option in Windows so that's not the issue.

Adobe AIR won't install - Windows 7 Ultimate x64
"Sorry, an error has occurred.
An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator."
Well, I asked myself and verified that I am allowed to install any programs I wish to at will.
I even toyed with adding extra permissions for the .exe and shortcut [see below], to no avail.
I also checked your Adobe AIR installation troubleshooter section before posting. Unfortunately, none of the solutions 100% applied to my circumstances or OS, yet I tried a few anyway and had it confirmed by a Windows dialogue that I need not have bothered as it assured me that they weren't applicable in my case.
I found another thread like mine where somebody suggested creating a shortcut with an additional -uninstall parameter added to the .exe path. It didn't work.
I used Microsoft's Installation Cleanup Utility and that didn't work to "un-confuse" the installer either.
Do you have any more suggestions?
Adobe AIR came with the HTC Sync program for my phone, which appears to have dependencies on it where it won't completely work without it.
Thanks in advance for any input.
ps. I created a new thread because I couldn't find the "reply" button on a similarly unresolved thread regarding Adobe AIR installation issues on Windows 7.I would like to say thanks to artrose54 and to playswithtech for their thoughtful responses to my problem. I finally figured out which number I was to delete, and then, having made a copy of the number in notepad, deleted it. Upon a restart to my computer I then was able to download adobe air 2.7. I found that I still could not download the shutterfly express uploader, however; so I applied the same approach. I went looking for the number in the registry that corresponded to the uploader. I deleted it; restarted the computer; returned to shutterfly; and then was able to download the express uploader. I am sure I will find other uses for Adobe Air in the future.

Hi everyone,
Here is the fix that worked for me,
You need to go to start run and type in regedit
now press ctrl+f for find and type in "adobe air" without the quotes then click find next
the first entry it finds is the one I deleted, it is a long number on left side of screen that is greyed just right click and delete it
I then rebooted the computer and ran adobe air installation
and it worked with out a problem
The adobe air log file really doesn't tell u anything but where it tried to find the setup.msi file
but it doesn't exist because of the registry entry that needs to be deleted which is what causes the error
If u r not sure of editing the registry then maybe you know someone that can help you
I hope this helps you out it worked for me -
My songs won't play on Windows 7 version of iTunes. Everything on my PC is up to date. Windows Media Player works fine. I followed the directions and nothing has changed. I have already tried to re-install iTunes but that hasn't worked either. If anyone knows how to solve this problem please E-Mail me at [email protected] or reply to this message.
Itunes worked after reseting my computer to factory setting however had trouble again after syncing my iPod and iPod shuffle. Is this a coincidence or could it be the cause of the problem?

[SOLVED]No sound under linux, works fine under Windows
Hello everyone. This is a completely new issue, and I've not had to deal with figuring out audio on linux before, so I was hoping that someone can help me try to resolve this issue, and I can learn more about my system in the process.
Up until a few days ago, my audio was working perfectly fine on Arch. Nothing changed, that I can remember, that might be the cause of the audio suddenly stopping.
alsamixer shows that all volume is turned up, I've turned up the volume on my speakers, and pulseaudio pavucontrol shows that sound is being played, and it shows that the correct sound card is selected. Still, no sound. It doesn't work with headphones either.
If, in pavucontrol, I change the playback device to my HDMI out, sound comes out properly thought that.
When I dualboot into Windows, all sound works fine, headphones and speakers.
What might I need to look in to here? What information would help you to help me figure out what's going on?
Thank you in advance for your help and your patience.
[SOLVE] was deleting the pulseaudio configuration and letting them be remade.
Last edited by Somnus (2014-11-19 21:56:03)Sorry it's taken me so long to respond.
No, no sound at all will play, no matter what the application or media type.
The only thing I'd recently done was install xfce4 so that I could try to set my Keyboard's volume wheel (Logitech G510) so that it would work. It didn't work however, and I've since removed xfce4. I honestly dont' know if the sound stopped working before or after I tried this though.
dmesg doesn't show anything in particular to my untrained eye, but after rebooting, trying to play a youtube video to test the sound, and checking journalctl, I do see this:
Nov 19 00:43:42 arch pulseaudio[766]: Unable to load mixer: Invalid argument
Nov 19 00:43:47 arch pulseaudio[766]: GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.bluez was not provided by any .service files
Also, starting audio from the terminal doesn't show anything useful. -
"An iPod has been detected but it could not be identified properly" iPod Nano 7g and 3g won't work with Windows 8 PC. worked fine up until a month or so ago and now they are not recognized.
Hi cueball819,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps to try if your iPods aren't recognized by iTunes or Windows:

5th generation ipod not detected by my windows xp. works fine on other pc. performed necessary steps to remove and reinstall itunes but having same issue. is there a driver i can download to pc then direct to that specific location when installing?
I have a similar issue - my iPod nano connects and is visible in Device Manager yet invisible in My Computer and iTunes. I've tried everything I can possibly think of to try and solve this myself, all in vain.
Mine is a nano 4G. I've been using it for quite some time without the slightest problem. I have been using WINAMP instead of iTunes to manage my darling nano.
Then, one fine day I bought a new computer and the nano would not show up in My Computer, though the nano display shows "Do not disconnect". On my old computer it worked (and still works) absolutely fine with win XP as well as with win7 (the later I currently use on my new/problematic computer, which I bought last summer and that's how long I've had this problem).
Of course, after several first attempts I gave up and installed iTunes. I've tried using the Apple support article "iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows":
- reset
- fully charged,
- cable works fine on two other computers
- in normal or disk mode makes no difference
- tried to find anything useful in the diagnostics mode
- reinstalled iTunes several different times since then to the latest version
- I've unplugged every other USB device except for my mouse and keyboard and tried several different USB ports on my motherboard (USB 3.0 and conventional), as well as trying different USB- related options in my BIOS.
- I've never used any Mac with this ipod
- I've tried fiddling with the win7 Services by stopping and restarting them and of course
- uninstalling the iPod drivers in Device Manager. After such an uninstall the ipod would automatically be recognised and "ready for use", i.e. being invisible in My Computer.
- Attempted to find any possible third-party conflict with msconfig or the possibility that my ipod is being confused for a network drive (for which I've disconnected my HDD, leaving only my SSD with the OS).
Sometimes, iTunes would note that iPod service (or something, can't remember exactly) failed to install properly and asked to try and repair it. I would click YES! and voila - no change! The ipod would rarely show up in iTunes on my problematic computer like this:
iTunes would warn me that the nano would need restoring so I would try and do it on my haunted machine upon which iTunes would freeze like you seen in the picture.
Despite this, I've updated and restored the nano on my father's computer to the latest version without any problems. This though, did not solve my problem in any way.
I can load music to my nano through my old computer (which for me is a real pain and hassle) and the gadget works normally in terms of its disconnected functionality.
I've taken my nano to the local service for repair and they said it was fine. Mercifully, they didn't charge for the diagnostics service (gee, thanks for not ripping me off!).
Here are two screengrabs from my Device Manager
and Devices and Printers screens on my comp:
That is my sad story as far as I can remember. It's most likely something with the drivers or something along those lines though I'm out of ideas at this point.
If you think you have any idea PLEASR HELP, I'M DESPERATE! -

When using firefox I get only blank pages while trying to print from within the browser. Only using firefox. Chrome works fine. IE works fine. If I boot to windows 7, firefox works fine. Can you help or should I report this to Microsoft?
Thanks for your help.
ps. Tried resetting firefox. Haven't tried a new install.Firefox isn't officially supported on Windows 10. For that matter, Windows 10 isn't officially supported either. This is most likely a problem between Firefox, Windows 10, and your printer's driver. Try updating your printer's driver and see if that helps. Otherwise, it might be a good idea to post this on Microsoft's forums as well.

After udating my ipad2 to ios 5.1.1 my 3g stopped working. I get a message no sim installed. SIM is working fine. How do I fix this?
I have the same problem. Even worst, I use my iPod touch at the gym cause our bikes and threadmills have iPod connection (and screen of course) so I used watch TV shows from my iPad. Last week, thought the treadmill connector on the machine was broken... from what I see, it's the TV out on the iPad that is not working anymore.
Once home, I used my composite cable, well just like you got a message : "not supported" tried on iPad and Ipod Touch.
THANKS APPLE WITH YOUR STUPID UPDATES!!!!
But now seems your Video cables won't be selling much if not working hey?

When try to connect my iPod touch 4th gen to my house Wifi it won't connect, it used to work fine but now it dosen't work, but it does say that the internet is available, but when I tap on it it just loads. all other devices work fine.
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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 your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Safari won't open anyuthing. Firefox works fine. Is something happenng at the Safari end?
Sue --
Are you really still on 10.5.1?
Tell us your exact OS, the version of Safari you're running, how long this has been happening, etc. Is it actually crashing? Does it open up with your Home Page? Then what happens when you want to see a site? -
Bought a new monitor.. wide screen 23"... Firefox is not filling the full window. IE works fine but I prefer Firefox. What do I need to do to fill entire window, not just the way it was with the old monitor? edit
Most pages are defined to be a certain size, regardless of how large or small your monitor is. You can use Firefox's zoom feature (View menu) to enlarge the text and images (or just the text, if you prefer) on a page.
In addition to making individual site adjustments, there are some add-ons that will default every site to a higher zoom level. For example, check out:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6965/ Default FullZoom Level]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]

Imac os wont start but windows bootcamp still working fine
Hi everyone,
My imac is around 4 years old and has been running both windows bootcamp and os x snow leopard for at least 3 years without any problems. My default operating system is mac and when I tried to turn it on this morning it gets stuck on the white screen with the grey apple icon and the loading icon spinning. Also a bar appears below this that I have never seen before.
I have tried opening the mac in recovery mode but it does not respond and goes to the same logo screen.
I have tried holding the 'D' key down while the mac comes on and doing the apple hardware test but once the window pops up it does not complete the probing and appears to freeze just before its completion.
I have also tried booting in safemode but the script stops at these commands:
launch tl: Please convert the following to launchd: etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisory.plist
launch_msg(): socket is not connected
However, the windows bootcamp is working fine and I can access my mac files from there.
Also worth mentioning is that it is not a grey screen that appears on start up it is just the normal apple icon screen.
Tried both smc and pram resets but nothing changed.
Also when I the mac holding alt both the mac hd and windows disc are visible but obviously same problem happens when I click on mac from there.
Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated! Thanks.If you use the first Grey Disk and the 'C' key, can you boot into OSX and then your disks can be inspected.
