K9vgm-v - Problems with 500g HD and Vista

I installed Vista last night (fresh install) and have a 500g, unformatted hard drive (a Seagate NL35 ST3500641NS) that I just purchased from New Egg. The Hard Drive is a SATA drive.
I've enabled the SATA as IDE in the bios, and have the drive plugged into SATA1. It's showing up in POST as IDE3. When I boot Vista and load the Computer Management, Disk Management console, the drive is showing up as 128GB. The Management Console tells me that the drive has to be initialized, and gives me the option to do it so that other machines can read the drive (NTFS, I assume), or so that only Vista can read the drive (recommended for disks over 2TB, according to the OS). No matter which one I choose, I receive an error and the disk is unformatable.
I understand that the solution to larger disks in XP was to simply install SP1. However, I was under the impression that native support for larger disks was included in Vista. I have installed the latest drivers for the K9VGM (the Vista drivers) and as far as I know, everything is set up correctly. If this is a known problem (i.e. with no fix), would it work if I formated the drive in another machine, then plugged it back into my main machine?
Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

Ok, so I haven't really had a chance to mess with it until now. At any rate, I upgraded the BIOS to the latest version. When I did that, at first (assume that it's always jumpered to 1.5 GB/s) the drive DID show in the BIOS, but with a seriously limited quantity. When I booted in Vista, I could see the drive as I could before -- 128 GB. Also, my internet connection would not work (couldn't get an IP -- I'm using the onboard) and the computer was performing all too noticably slower. The Window Manager (or whatever it's called, only been using Vista for a few days) crashed, and the computer was moving very slowly.
I rebooted and went back into the BIOS, and lo and behold, the drive displayed 500 GB. I booted into Vista and the drive, again, displayed 128 GB. Long story short, after multiple reboots, I could only get it to display the magical 500 GB number once, and the computer was still performing horribly with no internet.
The only thing I could do was to roll back the BIOS, and all of the functionality was restored but, again, the drive isn't recognized in the BIOS and still displays the limited quantity in the OS. I did bring the drive over to a friends and he was able to format it on a Gigabyte board that supports 3.0 GB/s at full capacity, so I know it's not the drive.
Any other suggestions?

Problems with 1.5 and vista - audio recording

Hello. I have PP 1.5. I have an Audio Techinca AT2020USB microphone. I have a couple different computers running 1.5 - The one that has XP as an OS, I can use the mic to record audio.

Subject: Problems with 1.5 and vista - audio recording
As Jim points out, CS3 was the first Vista-certified version, though many did get PrPro 2.0 to run on it.
Now, if PrPro 1.5 is running otherwise, you might have some luck with http://www.asio4all.com You'll need to download this freeware, install it, and then point PrPro to it in Edit>Preferences>Audio Hardware>Asio Settings for input and output.
Good luck,

Problems with Lightroom Library and Vista

I have imported various photos in my Lightroom library but if I try to search some specific photos with the Keyword Tags or with Metadata Browser or also when I click on "All Photographs" to see all the photos together, no photo is showed on the grid.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I have windows Vista; is it maybe a Vista bug?

It's more likely that you have a filter set. Double check that, and you'll probably see the images.

Problem with Quicktime 7 and Vista Business

I am trying to run Windows vista business with Quicktime 7 Latest and can not run. I get this dialog box
saying
Quicktime player requires windows 200 or later
please make sure compatibility mode is disable in the compativility tab of the properties for QuickTimePlayer.exe
I did try to change compatibility to set as Windows XP SP 2
but that did not make a diference I am still in trouble.
I did unistall the program and installed again but still the same problem. Please I need help! Thanks!

Thanks for the answer. It seems I left some other check boxes from the compativility menu on. So I realize I was running iTunes without problems so I uninstall Itunes and quicktime and did a full install of both and then it worked.
My problem was that I try to upgrade quicktime to quicktime pro and when I click on the quicktime player icon nothing will come up but if I drop a file on the icon it actually opens the file. Anyway the problem is solve. but is not intuitive to me that when you double click on the quicktime player icon nothing will happen.

Big Problems with Audigy 4 and Vista 64

Hi there,?I got the Audigy 4 running under Vista 64 Bit. The onboard Soundmax, connected to the speakers in my?Monitor?is acti've, too. The Audigy is connected to a 5. System from Teufel. With XP64 all ist working fine: The systemsounds come out of the monitorspeakers and the sound generated by mediaplayer etc. come from the 5. Sytem.Under Vista it is not possible to get a fine sound from the 5. System - if something is working, then only the satellites are working. The subwoofer is quiet. Also the sound from the 5. system is very bad, with a lot of breaks and so on. What?s this? How can I resolve this problem?By XP64 I have the possibility to change settings in Mediasoucecenter ... here I got nothing... rgds?McInternet?

I'm running the Audigy 4 with Vista 64-bit and it's working okay for me. It's not great - and it's pretty substantially crippled, but I'm getting sound. I would love to have proper EAX support and just some simple bass and treble controls, but it is working for me (using the March 9th drivers).

Another problem with iTune 8 and Vista

iTunes downloaded and updated. successfully on a Vista machine
However, when I try to start iTunes, I get the messag " Preparing to install iTunes", closely follwed by "Windows is try to configure"
Then after a while the system says it needs to reboot to complete the configuration.
So I reboot , then after the restart I try to start iTunes and the same happens all over again
Any help gratefully recived, I have tried re-installing
Thanks

I found a solution that at least worked in my case. The iTunes desktop shortcut may be pointing to the installation file. To see if iTunes really works, navigate to the iTunes folder under "Program Files." Double click on the file iTunes.exe and see if it starts up. If so, go back to the iTunes.exe file, and click on it with the RIGHT mouse button, hold the button down, and drag the file to your desktop. Select "create shortcut" from the menu. Now rename the new shortcut on your desktop to "iTunes." Now it should start correctly when you click on the new icon. Good luck!

Big problems with dualcore centre and vista

Just upgraded to a p965 platinum and was running fine under xp...
wiped hdd and installed vista x64 ultimate...
installing updates was going fine up until looking at the dualcore settings....I saw my FSB was running at 266!!! and it was running my pentium d 945 at 4400 rather than 3400mhz...
I quickly changed the fsb down to 200 and clicked apply....system crashed instantly and now vista will not boot, just a black screen and cannot get into safemode or any other boot options...
All options in bios are standard fsb with no overclock whatsoever....why should dualcore centre be reporting an fsb of 266 or indeed changing it to that ?
Any help apreciated....im now about to start reinstalling vista...
btw, in xp dualcore centre reported everything fine...200fsb and could change it nicely.

Easy solution: Kick dual core center as it is crap! You're just one of the many complaining about probs. Just don't install it.

Did you download the 64 bit version of iTunes? It should download automatically, but it might not.
If you have the right version of the installer you should have 64 in the name IIRC it is called iTunes64setup.exe.
This the same as 32 bit iTunes but it includes the 64 bit drivers for burning and the iphone.
If you got the wrong installer, there is a link to the 64 bit installer on the download page but it is not obvious. The link is in the box lower left under "Windows software"

Scanning with Kodak i65 and Vista

Hi,
I am having trouble 'Creating a PDF from Scanner' with a Kodak i65 scanner. Everytime I attempt to scan a document with Acrobat 8 and Vista I receive a scanning failed message. The 'Scan Validation Tool' scans documents fine to the .tiff format however when I try to scan documents with Acrobat 8 it doesn't work and I get 'Scanning failed.'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

I have the exact same problem. Except I have the Kodak i30 Scanner. I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 (with the Security Update 1 installed).
In the past, I ran the following configurations on an older computer with no problems:
- Windows XP & Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 (with all of its various updates)
- Windows Vista & Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 (with all of its various updates)
- Windows Vista & Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 (with the Security Update 1 installed)
However, when I built a new computer, installed Windows Vista Ultimate, installed the Kodak i30 Scanner, I receive a "Scanning failed." error everytime I try to scan directly into Acrobat.
BTW, I HAVE "tried with latest Scan Validation Tool and firmware update from Kodak site." Updating the SVT and firmware neither helped nor hurt.
Has anyone had a successful fix to this issue?

Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop

I'm surprised that there isn't an Active X control that can do this more
easily? Would
be curious to find out if there is - although we aren't really embracing the
use of
them within Forte because it locks you into the Microsoft arena.

Subject: Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop
I am just curious as to other people's experiences with the ListView
widget when elements in it are set to be draggable. In particular, I am
currently trying to design an interface that looks a lot like Windows
Explorer where a TreeView resides on the left side of the window and a
ListView resides on the right side. Upon double clicking on the
ListView, if the current node that was clicked on was a folder, then the
TreeView expands this folder and the contents are then displayed in the
ListView, otherwise, it was a file and it is brought up in Microsoft
Word. All this works great if I don't have the elements in the ListView
widget set to be draggable. If they are set to be draggable, then I am
finding that the DoubleClick event seems to get registered twice along
with the ObjectDrop event. This is not good because if I double click
and the current node is a folder, then it will expand this folder in the
TreeView, display the contents in the ListView, grab the node that is
now displayed where that node used to be displayed and run the events
for that as well. What this means, is that if this is a file, then Word
is just launched and no big deal. Unfortunately, if this happens to be
another directory, then the previous directory is dropped into this
current directory and a recursive copy gets performed, giving me one
heck of a deep directory tree for that folder.
Has anybody else seen this, or am I the only lucky one to experience.
If need be, I do have this exported in a .pex file if anybody needs to
look at it more closely.
Thanks in advance.

Problems with Customer Service AND unexplained charges!

I've been with Verizon for I-don't-know-how-many years, and through the years you are bound to have a few problems here and there but some of the problems are just ridiculous! It's also the same reocurring problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was with Alltel first, before it was bought out by Verizon. The years I was with Alltel, I didn't have near as many problems. It seems EVERY time I do the smallest change or something to my phone or bill, I get a ridiculous amount of charges that I was NOT aware of, nor told about... EVEN IF I ask "So this isn't going to change my bill, or there will not be any unexpected/unexplained charges that I don't know about?"... BUT not matter how many times I ask... and NO matter how many times I am told "no"... there always is. For example.... last year, I updated and signed a new 2 year contract and purchased the first Driod. Before, my 30 day warranty was up, I was having problems with my Driod, and decided to send it in and get a new one. Before I did this.. I called customer service to make sure there would be no interuption in my bill, and there wouldn't be any unexpect charges, and there would be no difference in anything. I was told there was not, and once I recieved my new phone, just send it in and nothing would be changed. Of course, when I get my bill.. I see I was charged $500 for the new phone. It was explained to me that my credit card was reimbursed (which I never check that card, because I never used it expect to purchase the phone) and that I was recharged for the new phone, since it was a new phone. So I had to fork out the $500 (on top of my bill) and then wait months to get the $100 rebate card. Months after that, I "assumed liablity of my line" because I was on a plan with my family. I decided to have my own line, so I "assumed liability." I was not told that when I did that, I "renewed" my contract date. So I just added 6 more months to my 2 year contract. Was NOT told about that! Then again...... I was recently having problems with my Driod (the screen went black and would not come back on.) I had to turn on an OLD motorola razor, so I would not be without a phone for two days while I was waiting on my phone to come in. As soon as my phone came in, I had my Droid turned back on. I recieved my bill recently, and my bill was $200 over what it normally should be.... so I called in... apparently, when I had my phone replaced, they dropped off my data package and when I recieved my replacement driod, they never put it back on. So I was being charged for alllll my data usage... again I was NOT told about this. I wasn't even aware that they had dropped off my data package, and when/where did they get the authority to do that??? These are just a FEW of the problems that I have had.................................
Does anyone have these reoccuring problems!?

I understand that my bill can be viewed online, and I do view it fairly regularly, so if there are any unexplained charges, I can call Verizon asap. The problem does not come from me not understanding my bill, but from customer service. I have been with Verizon for a very long time, and it is a continuing problem. Where did Verizon get the 'OK' to drop my data package off my plan? Who authorized that?
After calling Verizon and trying to find out the problem, the gentleman told me that when I activated on old phone while I was waiting on my new Droid to arrive, my data package was dropped off and I "should" have been told about that. When I reactiviated my new Droid, I "should" have called and had them restart my data package. I was not aware that when you activate an old phone that data plan is taken off your plan. In all my years of having cell phones, I never make two years with one phone. I have always, at one point, had to turn on an old phone, and my data package has NEVER changed. Why would I have my data package dropped and why would I have to call Verizon to have it restarted. I would never know to do that unless I was TOLD that my data packaged HAD to be re-added when I recieved my new phone, but I was never told of that.
All of that is beside the point, the point is, Verizon was never given the authorization to change my plan. Never. My bill was taken care of and readjusted, and I am thankful for that. It does not change the fact it is always a hassle with Verizon Customer Service and I am always the one having to PROVE that I am not at fault, or that I was NEVER told of certian things. EVERY TIME I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, I AM TOLD "I'M SORRY, THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT."
"they should" does not help my bill with the extra armount of charges.

Problems with dropped calls and no reception on Samsung Continuum

My mother and I both purchased a Samsung Continuum in late March 2011, and have experienced the same problems with the phone. The device drops at least 2-3 calls per day, often on the same conversation; we have not found that location or time of day makes a difference. The phone freezes up frequently, even if no apps are running in the background. We lose our 3G network reception frequently, and cannot access our texts, emails, or the internet. The screen saver kicks in even when we are actively dialing a number, or typing in a text message. The overall performance of the phone is also poor, and it is quite slow much of the time.
We have raised this issue several times with a representative at one of the Verizon stores, but he states that he can find no problem with the phone, and that these issues may not be covered under our insurance plan. None of my friends with non-Samsung phones are having the same problems with phone reception and performance. I am aggravated enough with these issues that I am considering reactivating my old Blackberry, which worked like a charm.
I am not upset that my phone has not been updated to Android 2.2. I just want the phone to perform as stated, and not fail at its primary function: making and receiving phone calls. I am not certain if these problems originate with the phone, Verizon, or Samsung, nor do I care. I just want to resolve these issues as soon as possible, or I will have to look at other alternatives.
Thank you.

If this doesn't work...now what??? I have a useless $400 plus piece of unreliable junk. My Motorola Razor was ions more reliable than this phone...very, very sad but true.
What carrier were you using with the Razor? AT&T? Same area?

Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

Hi all,
after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
Regards
Michael

First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.

Problems with the richTextEditor and quotes

Hello
I'm having problems with quote chars and the richText
control's htmlText. When users enter quotes into the richTextEditor
control. The quotes breaks the HTML text, meaning it's no longer
well formatted. Is there an escape char that I need to use. Or do I
need to force some kind of refresh on the control prior to using
the htmlText string?

I have been using RTE in a content management system and
found a need to replace non-standard quote characters with proper
UTF-8 character counterparts. Curly quotes in particular are
problematic. Use a replace function to substitute non-standard for
standard characters.
