KT6V AGP 8X flicker, totally stumped

I recently tried upgrading my aging GeForce 4 to a Radeon 9800 Pro and had nothing but problems (artifacts, flicker, etc.) The 9800 works fine in two other systems with nVidia chipsets, but not in the KT6V. To narrow the problem down, I tried a slightly newer PNY 8X GeForce 4 (fully tested beforehand) and the flicker was back.
Here's a brief description of the flicker problem as far as I've determined:
1. The flicker occurs only with 8X AGP cards, not 4X nor 2X.
2. It looks like a several horizontal shadows scrolling downward.
3. Screen edges appear wavy.
Here's what I know and what I've tried:
1. Problem is NOT due to drivers, as the flicker is visible even in the BIOS setup screen
2. Problem occurs on both DVI and VGA interfaces
3. AGP voltage set to Auto (have tried 1.7)
4. Problem is NOT due to cabling nor monitor (have tried three of each)
5. Problem is NOT due to electric interference (have tried with all drives and fans unplugged)
6. Problem is NOT due to memory (ran Memtest86 3.1 overnight, also tried different sticks)
7. Auxilary 12V ATX power is connected
8. Problem is NOT due to power supply (have tried two)
I'm at my wits end with this problem. The only thing I can come up with is the AGP timing in 8X mode is faulty (i.e. MB replacement). Any ideas?

While I tried numerous driver combinations and uninstallations with the ATI card, the flicker issue has DEFINITELY NOTHING TO DO with software. How can I be so sure? Because the flicker occurs before the system attempts to boot (i.e. zero software). I can see the flicker on the banner page (the big blue MSI pill), the BIOS configuration page, my SCSI card configuration page, and the post screen. All of these events occur before the system even attempts to boot an operating system, let alone any drivers.

Sdo_util.simplify - Error? Bug? Totally stumped !

Hi folks,
I have a confusing problem/error with using sdo_util.simplify. I am using Oracle 11G R2 with Spatial Option.
I have loaded just over 2000 UK postown polygons - based on an OS source. These loaded fine and have been working perfectly well with spatial sql.
The source data specifies the projection as British National Grid GCS_OSGB_1936 and the SRID within the Oracle metadata was correctly (i believe) determined (by calculate mbr) and set to 7405 - OSGB36 / British National Grid
I can view the polygons perfectly fine in SqlDeveloper/GeoRaptor and if export them to KML and view them in Google Earth they position and display exactly as I would expect.
All other spatial functions I have tried on the polygons work fine.
The problem comes when I try and use sdo_util.simplify to reduce the number of co-ordinates used on the polygons :
select sdo_util.simplify(poly_hi,100,0.005)
from posttown_boundaries;
ORA-13199: the given geometry cannot be rectified
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.MD", line 1723

ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_UTIL", line 770
ORA-06512: at line 1
13199. 00000 - "%s"
*Cause:    This is an internal error.
*Action:   Contact Oracle Support Services.
I've tried various threshold and tolerance values ( the only threshold value that works is 0 which returns the same geometry.
I have successfully used the sdo_util.simpify functions on the other spatial objects in the database so I don't believe it to be a database setup issue.
When I run a validate geometry on the table for the geometry column I get the ORA-13029: Invalid SRID in the SDO_GEOMETRY object.
However, as explained above the SRID was selected and checked using calculate MBR and it matches exactly what I would have expected given the source data and i have not found any other issues with the SRID.
The error can be reproduced without any of the source tables by just taking one small polygon definition as follows:
select sdo_util.simplify(

Hi Mike,
Usually someone jumps in early with the "geometry ain't valid" answer so I am late to the party. When I attempt to validate your 7405 geometry using 11gR2, I receive back error 13029.

dualThe error indicates that SRID 7405 "is invalid" which is not really all that informative. As you note above 7405 exists in MDSYS but its marked as a COMPOUND CRS which to keep it simple is a 3D CRS.
(see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28400/sdo_cs_concepts.htm#autoId18)
Thus "invalid" in this context means the SRID is invalid for the geometry you are putting it upon.
So if we just add a Z to your geometry everything works hunky-dory

dualSo long-winded way to reiterate what Ivan said - you are using the wrong SRID. 10g was more forgiving than 11g when mixing and matching 3D and 2D SRIDs with data. 11g is more picky but not always that great at explaining the pickiness. I would bet if you had got back an error such as "2D coordinates not valid with 3D SRID" you would never have needed to post the question. I would suggest putting in an enhancement request to Support for some better error messages.

Labview Application missing SubVI's, totally stumped

Hello. I am working on a VI that is a simple thermocouple datalogger. I have created it in Labview 2013 (latest patch) on a Windows 7 Machine. It works correctly on the development machine with Labview installed. It uses custom drivers for an Advantech USB 4718 data acqusition module. These drivers were downloaded directly from the manufacturer.
When I build an application and copy it over to a different machine (running windows 8) I get a laundry list of missing SubVIs when I try to run it (see image). This is despite installing all relevant data aquisition drivers (I have verified that the module works with the manufacturers own daq software) the latest version of Labview 2013 run time engine, DAQmx, etc.... I can't think of anything else that should be installed but Im totally stumped.
Anything else I can try? Is it because the Dev machine is windows 7 but the application machine is windows 8? I'm new to building applications from labview, so I'm not sure what I may be missing. Thank you.
Error Message(s)

It seems that most of these VIs are used by the DAQNaviAssistant from Advantech.
You should ask Advantech if there are known issues when building executables in LV which contain these ExpressVIs.
Also, you can re-build your EXE without optimizing the EXE content by de-selecting all checkmarks on the "Additional Exclusions" tab. It is possible that one of these options remove these subVIs.
What bothers me is that it runs on the development machine... which indicates that the EXE itself should really contain everything what it needs (except driver functions, namely DLLs of course).

X200 HD refuses to be partitioned -- am totally stumped!

I just purchased an X200 whose HD I'm trying to partition, in order to separate OS and software from my data. I've successfully done this several times over the years on other IBM/Lenovo laptops (a T40, a T43, a T60 and a T61) using version 8.01 of PowerQuest Partition Magic. The T61, which was the most recent experience, was not as straightforward as the previous ones, but what I'm encountering with this X200 has me completely stumped.
I'm running Windows XP Professional (factory downgrade), which I've updated to SP3. All critical updates, Microsoft and Lenovo, have been installed.
Here’s what looks normal:
1. Windows thinks my hard drive is fine. I performed a CHKDSK on Drive C and it encountered no errors whatsoever. According to disk properties, Drive C has 143 GB total capacity, 16.3 GB of which is used, and is an NTFS disk.
2. Lenovo's ThinkVantage Create Recovery Media had no problem reading the drive and creating a bootable CD and backup DVDs.
3. Likewise, Acronis True Image Home 9.0 successfully backed up both Drive C (Pri, Acct, 143.4 GB capacity, NTFS) as well as SERVICEV001 (Pri, 5.679 GB capacity), FAT 32 Partition: 0x12 (Compaq Setup).
Here's what is NOT normal: I'm unable to partition the drive with a) PowerQuest's Partition Magic 8, with b) GParted 3.9-13, with c) Easeus Partition Manager 3, or with d) Paragon Partition Manager 9 (demo version). Below are the error messages received.
a) Partition Info (a tool within Partition Magic) informs me that “Disk Geometry errors were found”:
Error #105: Partition didn't begin on head boundary. ucBeginHead expected to be 0 or 1, not 32.
Error #106: Partition didn't begin on head boundary. ucBeginSector expected to be 1, not 33.
Error #109: Partition ends after end of disk. ucEndCylinder (20673) must be less than 20673.
Partition Magic itself doesn't even initialize: “Error 117, Partition's Drive Letter cannot be identified.”
b) GParted saw ONE large unallocated and unformatted space, but refused to let me to do anything with it other than have the program reconfigure the MBR and thus delete every file on my drive. On other forum threads GParted was highly recommended because it can partition a Lenovo drive and leave the Service Partition intact, but on my HD it can't even see the Service Partition.
c) Easeus Partition Manager simply saw one Primary Local Disk which it labeled "BAD DISK." Its size is 149.05 GB, ALL of which is used. Status = "none" (I have no idea what that means.)
d) Paragon's PM refused to create a new partition because "Basic Hard Disk 0 already contains four primary partitions. Basic hard disks can contain only four primary partitions, including extended one." Other screens gave much detail about what it thought were 3 primary partitions, all of which have "Invalid" file systems and "No label." One of the start sectors was 33, the other 46.
So my question is, what do you suggest I do now, other than drink a lot of eggnog while I hope that Santa brings me a new HD I can partition? ;-)
I’m not an expert on computers, so please forgive me in advance for asking stupid questions. Here’s the first one: did ThinkVantage’s “create recovery media” backup the Windows XP files that came from the factory, or the ones I painstakingly updated after several hours of Windows Updates? (I did run it AFTER doing the updates!)
Many thanks in advance, and happy holidays to those who are celebrating at this time.
Lena
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Bottom line for whoever else has the same problem in the future:
Booted with a GParted CD, allowed it to rebuild the partition table, and to build the partitions I wanted. (The latter was a waste of time, because when I restored Windows using Rescue & Recovery, the partitions GParted had built were gone.) If all GParted sees is unallocated space, program it to create only a C partition and rebuild the partition table.
I very strongly suggest redundant backups prior to this procedure. I backed up using R&R to *both* CD/DVD and USB HD. I ordered the boot sequence (press F12) as USB HD followed by USB CD. I'd tested the CD but not the HD. And yikes, the USB HD refused to boot. Fortunately I had the CD, which enabled me to boot, and the HD, which enabled me to restore the files more quickly than the DVDs would.
Windows was restored to the way I had configured it (with other programs I'd installed, including Partition Magic). The Service Partition was there, hidden as it should be, accessible from the Blue ThinkVantage Button, but smaller than it used to be. I immediately created a new R&R backup on the local HD.
Then I used PowerQuest's Partition Magic 8.01 to create the partitions I wanted. PM worked like it should. My guess is that any partitioning program would.
Finito. Thanks, Soap, for confirming my impression that this would require a disk wipe.

Bluecove??? totally stumped

Hi there,
I have a bluetooth dongle that operates off IVT BlueSoleil, I am programming using NetBeans and I have downloaded the bluecove API jar file. Now this question may sound stupid, but "how do I use the bluecove API?" How do I import it into my application so that it can operate with my USB dongle? I have looked at the Bluecove website, but there are no straightforward tutorials on how to get up and running with bluecove. I am totally frustrated and stumped, and I would appreciate some assistance.
Thanks
K.

Wrong forum. Bluecove is a Java SE implementation of JSR-82 and has nothing whatsoever to do with CLDC and MIDP.
To use any external library, the jar must be available on the compile-time and runtime classpath.
In NetBeans, right-click the Project node --> Properties.
Select 'Libraries'
Click 'Add Jar/Folder'
Navigate to bluecove-2.0.1.jar (or whatever version you have).
I hope you are aware that Bluecove is not compatible with all USB dongles.

Signal Quality issues - totally stumped

My first post so apologies if I step on anyones toes.
I've had a browse through and can't find an existing post that covers my scenario.
For a while now my box has been having issues on certain channels. The exact scenario is that the signal quality drops to below 25% which causes picture blocking / freezing.
Before anyone says its a MUX issue, I have tried.
1) New cables
2) Rebooting
3) Factory reset
4) A known good cheapie freeview receiver from Asda shows a static 95% quality on the channels where the BT Vision box has problems. With both the old and the new cables. No signal bouncing - stays solidly at 95% (or thereabouts)
The specific channels it has issues with are Channel 21 (VIVA),Channel 38 (quest +1). I am on Waltham transmitter and other channels on the MUXes have 85% quality and higher on the BT Vision box. On VIVA and Quest +1 the quality bounces all over the place between less than 25% upto 87%.
If it was all channels on the MUX then I'd know it was time for aerial reposition, but with it being on only specific channels and a cheapie receiver working perfectly I'm a bit stumped??
Additionally, since the new firmware, I use a 4:3 TV through SCART and the screen real estate now seems wrong as it chops the bottom off the screen when in the new menu system - so things telling me what to press are lost - ie: to delete a recording from the recordings section I can't see any advice at the bottom of the screen as was there on the old firmware, I basically found it was the red button by trial and error. I'm guessing BT think we all have HDMI TV's and maybe the menu works OK on HDMI.
Its as though the tuner has just decided it doesn't like channels 21 and 38 - maybe its telling me to to watch some better quality programs... Or more seriously, maybe its cooked and has a specific frequency reception issue? Unlikely but I can't think what else it could be.
If anyone can advise I'd appreciate some guidance as I've pretty much exhausted my limited knowledge of TV transmitter behaviour.
Pete

Hi Pete65,
It could be possible that if you are in the Northampton/Milton Keys/ Bedford/ etc areas, that particular mux could have some signal interference .
There was a post earlier which I can't find right now, where the author talks about signal quality vs signal strength.
It could also be possible that the signal is too strong which could cause a detrimental effect on the quality.

Strange Connectivity Problem- Totally Stumped

Hey Guys!
Alright, I'm completely stumped and beginning to get very frustrated. Maybe you can figure it out.
I can't access my school's online learning website from my internet at home. My roommates can- one has a MacBook, one has a PC. If I try to access it on any other network, I can just fine. But, when I take the ethernet cable out of the router at home and plug it directly into my computer, I can access the website. On occasion I will be able to go on to the website, but it always seems to be around 3 AM or later, never during a normal time. I've tried doing a bit of troubleshooting on the internet connection and the router, nothing is making sense.
I have a MacBook Pro and a Belkin router.
Anyone have any ideas? :\

I high lighted the clue in your post. Your ISP modem likely assigned one IP Address to the first device it sees connected to it and caches the mac address of this device. In your case the first device was your computer. So when you connect your computer to the modem with the Ethernet cable the modem recognizes it. Then when you replace the computer by connecting the router to the modem the modem does not recognize the mac address of the router so does not assign it an ip address. Try shutting everything down, power off the modem, power up the modem, power up the router, then power up the computer. See if that works.
You did not mention if it is just this web site that does not work or if all web sites do not work. My response assumes you have no web access when you observe this issue.

I am totally stumped...

A few weeks ago.. My PC started acting up.. I cannot duplicate the problem... it does it randomnly.. However.. I have began to notice that my problems seem to occur if I push the CPU.. like with games.. or Compiling source code.. (I'm a programmer). Here is what happens... The Power LED on my case will turn off... at the point my CPU idle goes from normal 2-3% to a steady 17%-25%.. Also... all my USB devices...will time out also.. They still appear to be active.. however clicking on them will cause Windows to lag for a bit as the drives.. do not appear to be responding. Also.. say.. I am listening to music.. while I am doing this.. maximizing or minimizing my broswer windows.. OR.. changing broswer windows will cause bad CPU spike for like 2 seconds.. and my sound will make that terrible looping noise (If you have gotten a bluescreen and had sound going you know what I mean). Ok.. First I thought it was my USB devices.. So i unplugged all of them for a few days.. No dice.. problem still occurs.. So I began to watch my voltage... (I have Core Cell). Then I noticed that my +12 voltage was at 13.50 and the alarm would go off... So I figured ok... its the motherboard.. So I replaced.. it.. yesterday. Today.. same problem again. I was playing a game.. and it did it. Power LED went off... and the usual problems began. Here are my specs...
OS Windows XP
CPU Intel 2.8 HT
MObo MSI 865PE Neo 2 Platinum
Ram 2GB Geil DDR 400
Main HDD WD ATA 100 40gb
Backup HDD WD 80Gb SATA
Soundcard Soundblaster Live
Video Card MSI Nvidia 5900FX XT 128mb
PSU Aspire 550 Watt
Cooling Intel Stock Heatsink.. 2 Delta and 2Thermaltake Highspeed fans..
Current Specs..
CPU Temp 111 F
System Temp 95 F
VCore 1.47v
3.3V 3.45v
+5v 5.05v
+12v 12.93v
Also... Computer Management.. from Windows...shows no problems in System or Application.. logs.
Rebooting always corrects this issue.. until it does it again.
Someone Please help....
Ohhh BTW... Also... a few weeks ago.. My brandnew HP DVD Burner... would not recognize any blank disks.. however it would read regular CD-ROMS.. (Software) etc. After the motherboard replacement.. the drive is found by my bios.. and by Windows.. however..it will not open.. and does not appear to be working anymore....
UPDATE:
I just noticed this... as my machine is having its "problems" again.. as my CPU as a HT.. in Task Manager/performance.. it will act like there are 2 cpu's... and the the CPU meter on the left.. is spiking and all over the place.. and the CPU meter on the right is Normal... When my PC is fine.. those meters are in total Sync... BTW.. my idle is going from 17 to 22 to 25 and back down to 17 as I am typing this...
I ran a burn in test and memtest also... No errors... However I have noticed the RPMs on my CPU fan are low...
Could this be a thermal Issue? Is this a bad PSU?

The chipset was the same.. so I did not have to reload the OS.
Here is the amp info..
Here is the problem... the CPU temp appears ok... via CoreCell. Also.. Corecell reports the Fan RPM on the NorthBridge and the CPU to be like 500 RPMs and the alarm is going off.. However.. the BIOS and other software like Everest report CPU fan RPM at 3800 and temp is same on all these..

I'm totally stumped... Any takers?

I am totally confused on this one...
At a customer's site, we have an application that runs great interactively. When the same application is configured as a Windows service (using srvany), it fails to connect with a TNS Operation Timed Out error.
I've done my best to search Google, but it wants to return info about Oracle's services - not apps running as a service that use Oracle.
I've tried to explain that this is something that their DBAs should try to resolve with Oracle, but they keep insisting that our application isn't working and are looking to us to resolve it.
Any ideas?? Whoever guesses the cause gets a beer :)
Alternatively.. What is the best way to get Oracle involved as an OTN or OPN member?

If you want to get Oracle involved, you need to go through Metalink. Assuming your customer has a support agreement, they can log TAR's with Oracle Support on Metalink. If you are an Oracle partner, you may be able to log TAR's (depending on your partner level) either free or on a per-incident basis.
If you go to the Services option in the Control Panel, and locate the service for your application, try changing the account that is used to run the service to the account that is running the application interactively. My wager is that the account that is running the service doesn't have the necessary permissions.

Totally stumped after power outage!

I have a G5 desktop running 10.5.4. It was in sleep mode and the power unexpectantly went out. Once power was restored and I rebooted, I am now unable to connect to the internet via ethernet or airport card, the hard drive says it has zero KB available, and I am unable to copy to or from any external hard drives. The computer boots up OK, and I can see the data on the drive, however.
Here's what I've done so far: I rebooted the cable modem and the TimeCapsule/Airport Extreme. (I also have a MacBook Pro and verified the internet connection working fine, so I figured it was something wrong with the G5.) I then zapped the PRAM, ran Disk Utility for permissions repair, then ran TechTools for directory repair, then ran Disk Warrior for directory and file repair. I tried to connect to the internet and copy files after each attempt, but to no avail. Anyone have a suggestion of what it might be and how I can fix it? I did have a recent backup on the TimeCapsule, but I'm unable to access is because of this internet connection issue.

Was the power failure a dropout or could it have been a spike and then an outage. If you have no UPS and no surge protection (not that it helps much) then you may have some damaged hardware.
Since you can boot, check the console logs and also the System Profiler to see what, if anything, is wrong.
Normally the Leopard journaling filesystem takes care of these types of outages, which is why I suspect more than just a simple loss of power, but rather a surge.
And when you do get it working again, which I am sure you will, since you do have a TM backup, I would most strongly suggest getting a UPS for the computer. I even have my notebooks running through UPSs.

Alright I am TOTALLY stumped

My mac mini stopped being able to shut down within days of me buying it. This was a couple months ago. So here is my problem. I want to reinstall OSX but without it being able to power down and thus restart it absolutely refuses to install.
When it asks for a restart I force a power down and when it restarts it won't pick up where it left off. I have tried to simply delete the whole drive but that option in Disk Utility is grayed out.
Please someone help me. I just did this process on my imac last week and it took about an hour. I have spent 5 on this and haven't accomplished a singe thing.

You should be able to hold down on the "option" key (or "alt" key if you don't have a North American English keyboard) to force the Startup Manager while the computer starts up. If you have your Mac OS X install disk in the drive, you should be able to select the disk and click on the right arrow to "continue" startup.

Hi Pete65,
It could be possible that if you are in the Northampton/Milton Keys/ Bedford/ etc areas, that particular mux could have some signal interference .
There was a post earlier which I can't find right now, where the author talks about signal quality vs signal strength.
It could also be possible that the signal is too strong which could cause a detrimental effect on the quality.

Trying to find a general clip art library - Totally stumped

we just bought our first IMac and got IWork 08
I do a lot of desk top publishing including business cards, labels, brochures, etc
I was under the impression there was a big gallery of clip art images in this program
I can't find them anywhere
I've looked in Inspector and Media - I realize I can import my own photos, but I just want to choose from a bunch of pre-packaged
I can't seem to open finder and grab says I don't have the rights to use it
HELP please
I've very frustrated
Thanks
Su

If you are making documents for personal use, I suggest http://images.google.com/ .
Pictures that can be distributed legally can often be found at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page .
But there are more things out there: http://www.google.com/search?q=clipart
