K9N SLI Platinum MS7250 ver1.1 ... need help with Windows 7 install

Hello,
Having an intermittant issue with Windows 7 32bit. During startup Windows 7 gets stuck at the logo screen. Not always though. Every 7-8th reboot it will make it past and go all the way into Windows 7. I've tried all sorts of combinations of "ebabling/disabling". This system ran XP professional for 3 years without any issues. Currently, I have the most luck by connecting the keyboard and mouse to PS2 and leaving USB disabled. This may not be the issue though. Once I got Win7 to boot I performed driver updates etc.
If someone has suggestions please let me know. I'm about to try the USB bios flash but have never done it before.
Thank you,
BK

Motherboard: K9N SLI Platinum MS7250 ver1.1

Hi Guys,
Thank you for the replies.
- Yes it is a fresh install of Windows7 on a drive that originally had XP Pro
- If I boot into safe mode it does go into Win7 most of the time.
- I posted on the MSI tech support page (http://support.msi.com/index.php) and the response was to upgrade the BIOS. What do you think?
- I've been using this graphics card for three years and is nowhere near as powerful as what's out there now. In fact all of the components are three years old except the RAM
- I tried the old RAM (2GB Corsair) and it also had the same issue. Even at default RAM settings or otherwise. Now I'm back to the 4GB Patriot Vipers.
- What is this capacitor problem people are referring to? Is it a problem specifically on this model board?
Thank you..
BK

Need help with Windows on Bootcamp vs. Parallels

Hello,
I installed windows 7 on a boot camp partition of my hard drive. I also installed windows 7 on Parallels with the same activation key (afterwards).
The activation key is legit, or at least should be, I bought it online.
The issue I'm having after 30 days of use is this: The parallels version of windows is telling me my version of windows isn't 'genuine', I get a black background, but can still use windows and parallels fine.
The boot camp version of windows... (the version I installed first) is running fine, no 'not genuine' messages.
Here are my questions:
1. Am I getting the error because I have 2 versions installed with the same key?
2. The software I need to run is running better on parallels than on boot camp (the interface and resolution look more appropriate and it's just easier to use). I'd like to just delete the entire boot camp partition. Will doing so solve my issue with windows, or should I deactivate windows on that side first?
3. If I should deactivate windows 7 on my boot camp partition, how do I do that?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm not running bootcamp through paralells so I have installed two copies.
Can you tell me what the M$ IVR line is, do you just mean customer service?
Something interesting is that when I checked my code with Microsoft it said that "The product ID number that you entered is not supported in the country that you have selected." Does this ring bells or mean anything to anyone? Does it mean the key was pirated, or just intended for sale in a different country? I bought it from a software retailer online, and I'm assuming it's legit because it runs fine on the bootcamp side. So I'm wondering if this error message could be related to the double install or what?
Can someone provide me a link instructing how to delete the bootcamp partition? Is that a pretty straight forward process?
Thanks

Need help with some JS installing Bumpbox 2.0

I am trying to add a lightbox effect to a pdf on my website, I found a Javascript plugin at http://www.artviper.net/bumpbox-demo/index.html that looks like it should do the trick, but I am having trouble getting it to work.
To narrow down the problem I created a test.html file that I stuck in the root directory of the folder I downloaded from their site (so I am working locally off my desktop at this point)
My code is as follows... I feel like I am missing something super obvious, does anyone see it? (do I need to define the .bump class in the css file?)
Thank you in advance for the much needed help!

Need HELP with Windows on my iMac. Thanks.

I'm an experienced Windows user. I bought the iMac 20" Duo Core 2 (2.16ghz) because of the hardware and the design. I want to use Windows XP Pro (then Vista) almost exclusively.
PROBLEM: Windows installed and worked PERFECTLY (without the Mac OS or Boot Camp. I also installed the Mac drivers for Windows. Everything went beautifully UNTIL I started installing the Windows drivers for my external firewire sound equipment. Then the computer wouldn't fully boot. Every manufacturer I spoke with concerning my external equipment said that they did NOT plan to update their drivers to use Windows on a Mac. They said that there are problems and issues with the new Duo Core 2 processor in a Mac running Windows. These are DRIVER issues that may never be addressed by individual equipment manufacturers.
QUESTION: Do I need to reinstall the Mac OS and keep it updated in order to avoid conflicts with Windows' use of the Mac hardware? Or can I simply install Windows only, and try for workarounds?
Thank you very much for your replies.

Thank you, Eric, for your VERY helpful reply.
I've reinstalled Windows XP Pro S2, and got the system up and running again.
The problem I initially had was with the M-Audio Firewire Solo external soundcard. Once the driver was installed, the computer locked during booting. The M-Audio tech I spoke with was exceptionally knowledgeable, and he said they were working on updated drivers for both the Mac and the PC, but not for Windows on a Mac.
The problem could be that the firewire port uses the same IRQ as the hard drive. Although there isn't technically a conflict, the firewire port could be interfering with the boot when it's connected to a phantom-powered unit. And this unit cannot be hot-wired. However, the computer locked simply upon installing the driver with no unit connected.
I've decided to change over to a external soundcard that uses USB instead. I'm hoping this will solve the problem.
I purchased this computer for digital audio recording in Windows. If there are more conflicts that I cannot workaround, I'm going to have to return it and get a PC-based Intel desktop system. I don't want to do that however. I really, REALLY like this machine. But I need it to work with my equipment.
BTW, I've searched the other forums here on Apple.com. Several people have written in about the problems they've had with both the firewire and USB ports - using the MAC OS. So it's not just a conflict with Windows.
I really appreciate your reply. Thanks again.

Windows 8.1 need help with Windows Updates and Start menu Or fix my old Windows Xp system

My beloved windows Xp has gave up after many years of working well. It stopped working a few days ago after a lightening strike.
I got this Windows 8.1 computer a few month ago but it seems to have a problem. I stopped using it after could not get start menu to work and when back to my Windows XP system.
First problem is the start menu is not there. I tried installing something and it says it will take control or something and screen goes black. I clicked canceled quickly in order not to get a virus.
Where is the start menu?
Second problem, Windows updates does not want to update because it needs Windows 8.1 update. This computer is already Windows 8.1. There I canceled it since it was mostly a virus. Now updates are not working.
If those can not be fixed, how can i fix my Windows Xp to get it back. It does not turn on, I press button and nothing happens. Is this something easy to fix?

Another user discovers that Windows 8.1 is not at all of what it should be.
There is no Start Menu in Windows 8 or 8.1. However, you can restore your desktop start menu with a very good freeware application:
Classic Shell
Windows Update comes with Windows 8.1. There is nothing special you have to do.
It kind of sounds like you've been a bit too quick to download and run whatever you find on the Internet. You should always research any software you're considering downloading/installing ahead of time. Google it. See what others say
about it. Ask on forums. In order to use Windows effectively and safely you need to expand your knowledge and become a more sophisticated user.
If you think your new system has become infected, you might want to consider Refreshing or Resetting it to a clean state, or at least visiting one of the anti-malware forums and getting some advice on cleaning it up. But beware, a lot
of "blind leading the blind" happens on forums. Always try to read between the lines, and question what people say.
You could consider leaving XP behind. Its time has come and gone, and pretty much any newer version of Windows can actually give you better service than XP - once you get it tuned up.
It's possible to make Windows 8.1 more functional than XP and about as functional as Windows 7, but it takes a fair bit of effort in reconfiguration and installation of some well-known 3rd party applications that are good (which, unfortunately, most
on the internet are not).
Good luck to you.

I need help with Windows 10 Technical Preview. No sound. Korean files. Screen Flashes

I installed Windows 10 Technical Preview Yesterday. Took TEN hours!
Now, I have NO SOUND. There are Korean files on my desktop. My screen flashes from blue to my desktop. It is SLOW.

Can someone help me either fix the issues or help me get back to Windows 8?

SCCM Driver Injection : What am I missing? Need help with getting drivers installing correctly in my environment.

Everyone,
I'm not new to using SCCM, but i'm VERY new to setting up and managing it. I have just laid it down for the school district that I manage, and i'm loving it. Imaging is going great, all but one thing now...drivers installing.
Let me tell you what I've been doing, so hopefully a kind soul out there can tell me where my logic of the driver "injection" process is lacking and might can fill in some gaps.
I downloaded all drivers pertaining to the 7-8 series of computers we have in our environment currently, and imported them based on a criteria such as this:
x86.LenovoEdge71.Desktop
x86.DellOpti755.Desktop
so forth and so on
I created packages based on the same exact naming scheme. I update my distribution point at the end of the import, and all the drivers/packages/categories are in place. When I go to Monitoring/Distribution Status/Content Status, all of my packages
show up , but under targeted it says 0.
My thoughts from reading online, is I upload all these drivers and during my task sequence where it says it's "applying device drivers" it's set to "install only the best matched compatible drivers" and "consider drivers from all
categories". I also checked "do unattended installation of unsigned drivers no versions of Windows where this is allowed".
so correct me if my thinking is incorrect, it should search through all series of the computers we have in our environment and grab the best drivers from the overall database. Is this not right?
The reason I ask this, is we have a few hundred HP 6000 Pro desktops. WHen I image them, it comes up with 2 unknown devices. OF these, I can manually point them at the folder from which I uploaded the drivers for this series/category and it installs
100% successfully...MANUALLY. What's the reasoning behind this?
I can't help but think there's something missing in my process / logic and I need to be set straight.
Can someone out there tell me what i'm doing wrong? We're planning a district-wide re-imaging before summer's over, and the clock's ticking...but the drivers being installed are all that's keeping us from starting our migrations.
Any help on this is GREATLY appreciated, thank you very much!

You have setup everything correct, but for your desired result you need to use "Apply Driver Package" Task rather than "Auto Apply Drivers".
Auto Apply drivers will install the best matched/compatible drivers for only the PNP devices.For more info on this:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680990.aspx
Whereas "Apply Driver Package" would install all drivers you have in the package and hence you don't see the unknown drivers in device manager. For more info on this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680403.aspx
If you have multiple models, create this task for each model individually and then associate with a WMI query condition under Options tab to check the manufacturer/model
Example: Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where Manufacturer = "HP" and Model Like "6000%"

Firefox: Flickering when scrolling - need help with clean 'new' install

Screen is flickering when scrolling (IE does not). I tried disabling add-ons and tried safe mode - neither helped. Running Win 7 Pro 64bit. Uninstalled via 'Programs and Features'. Download and reinstalled Firefox. Now it shows all my previous settings: menu bar, bookmarks bar, etc. Question: how did it get that stuff back if it 'cleanly' uninstalled? Question: how do I know it didn't pick up it's old 'bad habit' from the previous settings? I am an experienced PC user but not Firefox expert. Looking for help lest I have to ditch Firefox completely...

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Need help with arch linux install!

Hello, let me start off by telling you about the predicament I'm in at the moment. I've been trying to install arch linux on with a cd-drive that has been failing for a little over a year now, so you can already see where my problem starts! The cd-drive, however will work with such cd's as Windows, Ubuntu, and Slackware, which I'm happy with. Yet, archlinux doesn't work so much.
And now maybe my solution. I've got a usb cd drive, that I've had laying around that works well, just not well enough for my bios to be able to boot from; which is horrible I know. I've searched the bios for loading a usb cd drive and everything else, including google so I don't think I'm going to get anywhere with that one. Anyways what I'm thinking of doing is that when archlinux is in the terminal right before you type the "/arch/setup" command, I would like to know if there is any command that allows you to change the cd it boots the cd from to go right into the installation. I'm still working on easying my out of the newbie stage of linux at the moment, but I've never run into a command like that, that would help me out. Hopefully there is one though, because I would very much like to archlinux to work, so please respond! Right now I'm running elinks through the terminal right before you type "/arch/setup". Thanks!

So you get through the boot process just fine then on your old CD drive. The only thing you should have to do after that is to throw your CD into the USB CD drive and proceed with the installation. The installer should then ask you what CD drive you would like to use when you choose install from CD.
Another way to do it would be to switch cd like above and then manually mount your /dev/[your_usb_cd_here] on /src. The installer then has to be pointed to this place as the source of your installation. To find out what your usb cd drive is called you should unplug it, then replug it and run: dmesg
The mount command might also need to be shown that this is a cd so:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/[usb_cd_device_name] /src
should do the trick.
If you really want to learn more of what the installer does (and fail installing a few times) you should also check out the command
/arch/quickinstall
If your Internet connection is up for it, it seems like you could just choose an FTP install instead.
Goodluck!
Once the CD is removed from the drive that it was booted from. the installation will not continue, as the arch install always goes back to the boot drive to continue read the neccessary information for the install. I do not think there is a way to fool the computer into booting from one cd drive and then continueing on with another. To do this you would have to tell the computer that you are switching drives.
If you can boot up the CD kernel and get to where you type in /arch/setup then the next thing I would od is FTP install. That would limit your CD rom drie usage.
There is also a way to install arch from within another distro, EVEN ANOTHER LIVECD! <-- this may be your best bet. Check the wiki, there is tons of information there.

Need help with window sizing in unix

hi all,
i am building an application that will run on a silicon graphics machine with unix. my application has a jframe with a jtabbedpane attached to it. when the application is launched the jframe is the size of the monitors resolution but the jtabbedpane is not. this is not the case on a windows machine. i am using toolkit to get the window size from the machine for the jframe. do i need to use this for the jtabbedpane as well. can anyone help me with this problem.
thanks,

The difference is sizes between platforms may be due to Font-size differences of the components in the tabbed pane which results in the overall size of tabbed pane being different on the two platforms.
To get the tabbed pane to appear the same relative to the frame, you should explicitely 'setBounds' on the tabbed pane as well as size the frame.

New User Needs Help with Linux OBIEE Install via Terminal

Hi All - I'm installing Linux OBIEE. I'm on a Mac and thus can't use the GUI install option. I've unzipped the tar and now am stuck. Where do I need to be on my server (I know not root) and what command do I use to actually install OBIEE. I've tried setup.sh but it's not working properly and thus I am assuming I'm doing something incorrectly.
Many thanks for your help.

I can use my mac for installs but prefer to use a VNC Server session on the Linux box and a VNC Client on the mac to do remote installs as it survives network bumps.
If you want to use your mac as an XServer to do the install you have to have X11 installed (have a look at http://developer.apple.com/Darwin/runningX11.html)
