Lenovo Twist many problems

Bought the new twist about 6 weeks ago. it was down for 3 weeks for a hard drive replacement. It is the i7 with 500G HDD and 8G ram absolutely love the style and feel but the little problems are overwhelming. I am ready to send it back as I dont really see a lot of solutions that work. Here is the list
Screen rotation gets stuck
Touch and track pad becomes unresponsive.
Wake from sleep takes from 5 seconds to 45 seconds and sometimes just gets stuck with black screen and fan spinning
screen rotation (when working) is very slow to react
This thing feels like a very bugy machine. Is there a thread or threads that help fix these issues? I have had enough. Wll switching to SSD fix it? I will do anything.

bkeenom,
Yes there are threads on some of these issues already... sorry to hear that you are struggling with some of these points and had an HDD failure.
A lot of people report that the SSD makes a huge difference on the system performance - I suspect that the accelerometer may be suspending HDD access while you move the system around and that can lead to hangs. SSD also makes a big difference in run time for the system.
Check out the updates on screen rotation - the background on this is covered in this KB article.
Also, it can take up to 10 secs when you flip the system and come back from suspend - see this tip You might see what others say, but I'll bet the SSD improves this.
Try to update to the latest level of touchpad drivers from our site (TVSU may help you).
Hope these help!

Lenovo Twist recovery problem

Hi everybody.
I've just got my new Lenovo Twist s230u with Win 8 installed. First thing I wanted to do was to install linux on it. Everything seemed working fine, I knew 'bout recovery partition, so I hoped to re-install Windows, if smth. bad occurs.
I formatted two partitions (unfortunately I don't remember neither their labels nor sizes). Linux worked properly and everything was fine. But soon I understood that my windows is still unregistered, so my warranty can be spoiled. I entered the recovery menu and pressed reset button. But the recovery tool said, that some useful partition is missing.
On linux I can see several partitions:
LENOVO_RECOVERY
WINRE_DRV
SSD partitions and my linux partitions.
So I'm sure I didn't format the recovery partition.
Please help me to recover my pc. Please say if there is a way to recover it from usb stick or smth. like that. And say a few words 'bout partitioning on Lenovo twist.
Thanks a lot!

it could be because of you re-partitioned the volume. warranty may cover the issue if you have valid one ( international warranty - iws - )
try to burn default backup before ordering dvd sets.
you can order recovery discs. call lenovo support line.
check your warranty from the link below:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=look-iws
if it doesn't work, you can use this software to find your serial.

P780 smartphone: many PROBLEMS

Hello, I've just received my new Lenovo P780 ordered on-line in Hong Kong. I live in Italy.
Model: P780_ROW
android 4.2.1
verison P780.V20, 2013/07/31
Build: P780_ROW_S116_130828
I have many problems, I think caused by firmware/software.
1) If I try to update using "Settings"--> About Phone--> System Update, It doesn't work, the display show: "UNFORTUNATELY, SETTINGS HAS STOPPED"
2) If I try to use the Calendar, the display show: "UNFORTUNATELY, CALENDAR HAS STOPPED"
3) If I try to use e-mail, that works, but if I try to open an e-mail, the display show: "UNFORTUNATELY, EMAIL HAS STOPPED"
4) the signal on SIM 1 is always so few or not present, when with the old phone (an old Nokia) the signal is always full
5) the SIM 2 is not working, not recognized by system. If I put SIM 2 on slot SIM1, it works.
I think is necessary an update, but I don't know how to do.
I've read on this forum about a flashing update, or a tool for pc for update the phone.
Someone can help me? But I need full explanations, I'm not practically with smartphones (but I'm ok with pc), this is my first one.
Thank you so much. :-)

Hello acc71,
did you tried reset to factory state?
Maybe this could help you.
I tested firmware P780_ROW_S115_130807. I can't see any problems. Now I'm upgrading to version P780_ROW_S123_131231.
tested again, nothing, everything is working perfectly.
And maybe last info, this version which you have installed on your phone is not official.
Than means we can't support non official version of OS.
You need to go to your reseller, cause this is not Lenovo fault.

Lenovo Twist - keyboard

Hi everyone,
I bought a Lenovo twist in EEUU and it has the keyboard from there. I am from Argentina, so, I decided to change the keyboard configuration to the latin version ( this is caused because in Argentina we use the "ñ"). But there is a little problem, when i changed the configuration, the simbols "<" and ">" were gone. Therefore i thought to use the key combination ALT + some number, but it doesn't work correctly in my Twist. I also tried to user Fn + Alt + some number, but it does't work either.
Does anyone know how to access to the special characters without use the Character map?
Thanks in advance!
regards.

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
It seems you've turned on the number pad on your keyboard. Press Fn+NmLk keys to toggle it off. And if that doesn't work, try Shift+ScrLk.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

Lenovo Twist - Can't get WWAN Driver to Install

Hey,
So, got my Lenovo Twist last weekend - absolutely love it, but **bleep**.. I'd love to be able to slap a SIM in here an go.
Problem is, the WWAN driver appears to be missing - Device Manager shows the WAN Miniport, but the driver doesn't work.
Here is what I've tried so far:
- Allowing Windows to try to find an updated driver (nothing)
- Downloaded and attempted to install this from the Lenovo Twist Support Drivers Page: Ericsson H5321gw/C5621gw Mobile Broadband Firmware for Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad (this results in an error: Initialization error) - This seems to only be a firmware anyway
- Tried this one.. which appears to be the driver for Ericsson H5321gw: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS029034 (Installs, but doesn't solve the driver issue.. even after reboot)
- Tried a few other various drivers that people have suggested, but none seem to work.
Any suggestions?
Marc

Following up on an earlier post I opened up my Twist to see what is inside with respect to WWAN. Easy to do; just two screws and slide out the keyboard. I had not seen any WWAN references in the Device Manager. Sure enough, the PCI Express slot the User Guide shows to be the location of the WWAN card has the 24GB SSD. Even though the SIM slot and socket is there and the red/blue antenna leads are there it does not appear both the WWAN and 24GB SSD can be installed at the same time. The other PCI Express slot has the WIFI card.
I don't know enough about SSDs but maybe a SATA type SSD could take the place of the 500GB hard drive which could free the PCI Express slot for a WWAN?
My Twist is model S230u and the Lenovo System Update application says the "Machine type and model" is 33474HU.

Lenovo Twist Lag Spike / Freeze

I recently got a lenovo twist and have noticed that as I use it on a day-to-day basis, the machine is guaranteed to freeze for at least 20 seconds during a use "session."
This can happen during any situation of computer use (gaming, word processing, browsing, watching movies, etc...). Has anyone else encountered this issue and is there an active fix?

I have looked at the error logs and I get these types of errors. This was after a freeze that lasted 3-5 minutes. Seems like some problems with the disk or something. The list of errors are actually a lot longer but the forums wont let me post them

After Yosemite Update, Macbook Pro Frustratingly slow, along with many problems after

My Info:
Macbook Pro (2012)
2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
OS X 10.10.3 (14D136)
Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
186.54 GB free of 498.88 GB
Until the last OS X Update (Yosemite), I have had no problems with my almost three year old MacPro.
However, after the last update, I have so many problems with my mac, I just feel like throwing
it out the window.
Unfortunately, I did not have a backup prior to the update, but I backed up my photos and files, then proceeded
to follow apple's instructions (apple support chat) to erase the HD and re-install yosemite from online. Then, I backed up my files and photos from my external drive. (I used TIME MACHINE)
Fine in theory, but:
1. my iphoto library was somehow lost, nowhere to ever be found again
2. I suddenly have issues with my trackpad--the "double click" or "right" click refuses to work, I cannot drag and drop.
3. I have java runtime error messages even upon startup, without internet connection, even though I have already deleted anything and everything java related.
4. My safari is completely useless. Freezes even when only using one tab, must force quit every second.
5. My computer decides by itself when to zoom in and out of a page.
6. My apps are completely slow, I most always need to force quit them
7. My trash has many issues-- If putting a file in the trash, it says "moving file to trash" for hours on end without ever completing the action, also, if I try emptying the trash, it's the same story.
8. Settings. If I try to change a setting, it says "authenticating" for ever and ever without ever authenticating, and I am unable to change any settings.
I have talked to apple many times but have not yet reached a solution.
I have no other resolution at the moment, as I am in Taiwan for another month (My Chinese is limited and there are few, if none authentic Apple stores around)
I have one more month on my warranty so I can *possibly* take it in to a store when I return home, but I first wanted to ask here and see if anyone else stumbled upon the same issues, or if they had solutions.
Thank you!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
        Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
        Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

Many problems with the 'Export to Text' (.txt) in CR Xi

Hi,
I have listed many problems with the 'Export to Text' (.txt) function of CR Xi.
These problems are related to this export format only (meaning everything works fine in the Viewer or in the 'Export to PDF')...
- Multi-columns layout do not export as Multi-column (export only a one column);
- Numeric values with parenthesis for negative values or with a fix currency sign at the leftmost position are not exported correctly;
- Fields having a Suppress formula which is "WhilePrintingRecords" do not appears when exported;
- Fields with 'Suppress double value' checked are not always suppressed when exported to Text.
- 'Keep Group Together' flag is not working.
- 'Reset Page Number After' simply does not works when exported to text;
- 'Keep object together' on TextBox/Section is not working.
- Whenever a group is ending on the last line of a page, the the following page as the same Group header as the previous group with no records until the page is filled, then the PageBreak and PageHeader is missing but the records of the following group appears.
I would like to know what is the status of the 'Export to Text' function (is it a deprecated function not supported anymore???).
If still supported, when will these bugs be fixed???
Thanks

Hi Rene
Export to Text is supported till date. Crystal Reports 2008 also supports this with Keep together working however when I tried with format with multiple columns, it didnot show up in the exported text file.

How many problems before enough is enough?

I guess this is more of just a vent then anything else but hopefully it will help in getting a resolution.
I signed up with Verizon about 9 months ago because my girlfriend has Verizon and we wanted to make it easy mobile to mobile. That would be a mistake I would surely regret for the rest of the year and continuing into this year.
I originally signed a 1 year contract with my local Verizon store and got an HTC Thunderbolt, at the time what the rep in the store said to be the best trouble free device out there. Turns out he was surely wrong. I had multiple different issues from text messaging going to random people in my phone, losing service constantly, phone freezing, phone restarting, and several other problems. We must have exchanged that HTC close to 6 times before they finally sent me a replacement LG Revolution. Sure enough different problems would now come up. The phone would lose its cellular data network almost daily. I had issue after issue trying to make and receive calls, not to mention my internet working maby 20% of the time. I took the phones into local Verizon stores so they could see the problems and emailed screen shots of the issues to level 2 techs as well. We replaced that device a couple times before an update from Android crashed it again and Verizon sent me a new device again. Now were at the Motorolla Bionic. Seems to be a pretty good phone but one major draw back, I still lose data service often. I have to take the battery out of the phone and sometimes do a full master reset to get it back. I have NO apps loaded and the problem is there. I switch to CDMA Only thinking poor 4g coverage in my area is the problem but it still continues.
I have spent hours upon hours on the phone with Verizon. Had so many times that a rep said they would call me back and never did. Promises made by one rep then never a call back and when I call in again that person is in a different center and this person tells me that the previous promise could not happen ( for example, replacing a defective device with a NON Certified phone and new one instead) One night I spent 4 hours on the phone with Verizon, LG, Verizon then Verizon level 2 again. I must have over a full work week in time on the phone trying to fix things.
Now for the last couple months there are errors on my bill? They are charging me for old returned defective devices. They charged me in November for a device I returned. There system shows it returned! but they took forever to fix the charge so last months bill was $600 over my normal. I wouldn't pay it of course but they issued me a credit. Problem is the Credit they issued could not be shown until this months bill. I was promised a call at end of billing so we can straighten it all out and guess what, NO CALL AGAIN. So I called today and they got me a credit for that device and its on my bill. BUT now there is a new charge for a device returned 5 months ago. Once again they show it being returned and have no idea why I am charged again. So we are back in same place seeking a solution to the problem again. Lets see if this rep calls me back as promised, my money is on NO....
How much of this back and forth horrible service and devices is enough? I have 3 months left on my contract but they say I have early cancellation fees if I terminate the two lines I signed.
I have paid my bill every month early, never gotten any compensation for my problems. Nothing but more problems and more issues. I miss T-Mobile and AT&T, never had this many problems with them!!!!

Maybe they should be there to help you?
OH holy ****, what a concept.
...especially considering that our local Wal-mart's connection center associates have proven more knowledgeable and helpful than any associate the local VZW store has. All they see money. All they think about are the things they can say to get it. Signed up in October, got <a Thunderbolt> and cannot wait to get the **** off Verizon (oh and only took three months for my corporate discount to be applied. After the first 24 hours of time spent on hold with them, I quit keeping track). Unless their game plan is "get bought out by AT&T," they should really rewrite the book.
<Keep it clean, Thank you>

You could try calling Apple and ask for Customer Relations.
From Readers Digest-February, 2005
How to Complain
You call customer service to complain about a product, and you hang up angrier than when you started. That’s customer rage, a feeling experienced by millions of people with a major complaint, says Scott Broetzmann, president an American firm that tells companies how to offer the best customer service. His secrets to getting good service:
Have a goal
If you want your product repaired, say so. Want an apology? Speak up.
Keep it short
Focus on one problem, and be succinct.
Stick with it
You have to invest the time it takes. Don’t get what you want? Ask for a supervisor.
Skip ultimatums
Don’t threaten not to do business with them again. Why should they help you if you won’t buy from them in the future?
Plead your case
Many companies have information such as how much money you’ve spent with them and how often you complain. If you’re a good customer, they may be more willing to help.
Be nice
You’re unlikely to get what you want if you’re rude.
Good luck.

Many problems and questions with CC and PS CC 2014. HELP!!!

I'm having way too many problems with this whole Creative Cloud system, and PS CC 2014 in particular.
The courtesy of a response from a qualified Adobe staff member would be greatly appreciated by this long-time loyal patron of Adobe products.
1. When and why was my membership downgraded from Single App to Photographer?
     I signed up to Single App CC almost a year ago, and am able to access Typekit, 20GB of cloud storage and all the other features of Individual App membership, but not Market Assets. When I attempt to download any CC Market Assets I get a message stating "Market Assets are a premium feature" and "is only available to paid Creative Cloud members".
      I must still be subscribed to Single App because the subscription payment receipt I received a few weeks ago states: "We received payment for your Creative Cloud single-app membership for Photoshop (one-year) subscription, and your membership will renew on 30-July-2014 (PT)".
     The CC website states that Market Assets are not included in the Individual "Photography" subscription level (which seems to be a relatively new category), but I am clearly paying for Single App membership as indicated on my receipt. However, when I check my account, I'm listed as a Photographer subscriber.
     What gives?
2. Lightroom 5 is no longer listed as "Installed" in CC Apps window.
     I installed Lightroom 5 at Adobe's invitation last fall. Every time there is a CC update, the CC App widow shows that Lightroom 5 is not installed. So, I reinstall it, and the App list behaves properly until the next "update", which de-installs the app again.
     How do I keep Lightroom 5 installed?
3. My Extensions are not accessible in PS CC 2014
     I migrated my presets from PS CC to PS CC 2014, but the Extensions are still greyed out (Windows>Extensions). I updated Extension Manager and synced the desktop CC app, which downloaded some plug-ins to CC 2014, but not the Adobe Watermark extension (v2.2.3). Also, because Window>Extension is greyed out, I can't access AdobeExchange via CC 2014 to download any possible updates.
     Why can't I access my extensions in PS CC 2004?
4. CC Files wont stop syncing
     I thought I'd try uploading something to Creative Cloud to see what this storage feature could offer me. CC has been attempting to sync my files for aver a day now, chewing up bandwidth and seriously slowing down my internet connection to other content-dense sites. How do I stop the syncing process? I can pause it, but not stop it. I only have one file (a jpg image) in my Creative Cloud Files, which has a green check mark, so I don't understand what is being synced and why. I toogle syncing off and on again, but all I get is the spinning wheel. I've now turned off syncing, so this feature is now of no use to me.
     What am I doing wrong?
5. How do I make the previous version of PS CC the default PS app in Mac OS 10.8.5
     How do I deactivate PS CC 2014 as the default PS app?
     My workflow regularly includes the Oil Paint filter and Adobe Watermark extension to produce the images I am currently marketing. Therefore, I prefer to use PS CC v14.2.1, and not PS CC 2004, as my default PS app. Mac OS10.8.5 want to open all my RAW and PSD files in PS CC 2014. I change the "Open With" preference in the "Get Info" window to PS CC 14.2.1, but it immediately reverts to PS CC 2014.
I have several other issues with the latest CC platform, but lets see if I can get these ones solved before moving forward.
This whole Creative Cloud process is becoming very frustrating and overly time consuming, and seems to be much more complex than most users need or want (based on the comments and problems I read in this forum). I like the ongoing bug-fixes and camera/lens support updates, but the whole multi-app, internet-dependent format has gotten out of control, producing more problems than solutions, at least for me. This 2014 update makes it impossible to follow the workflow I've developed over the past several years. PixelBender is complex and non-intuitive, and does not effectively replace the Oil Paint filter. My extensions don't work. And now, the CC app won't let me access all the features I think I'm paying for. It seem to me these recent "upgrades" are half-baked. I've now spent countless hours trying to fix the problems imposed by CC 2014.
These "Community Discussions" sometimes take days to produce any sort of assistance, helpful or otherwise, and Adobe does not have the decency to offer direct access to customer service personnel to solve these problems.

I too, have many of the same problems: constantly reminded to "Install" the apps I have already done so (and paid for); Market Assets asks for me to become a paid member (I am); Adobe Bridge is missing from the apps page. I have reinstalled CC several times. Frustrating is the kindest word I can say--I seem to spend more time reading the "help" and discussion boards rather than working on photos. Dear Adobe, wake up and give us some solutions here! I too, have been using Adobe PS for years and UGH! CC is a mess and truly a bad experience for me! I apologize to the user above (RGMeyer) I could not be helpful, rather I am only adding fuel to your frustration.

Too many problems-what's wrong with my machine or OS?

Lately I have had many problems with my computer and am not sure what is the cause. The list is
- apps crash (primarily pro apps - Final Cut Pro Studio apps)
- grey crash screen frequently
- black lines across the screen (video card issue?)
- sometimes broken looking icons (video card issue?)
- weird color problems with display (Great condition apple 23" Cinema display)
- odd asian characters mixed iwth english characters in the restart dialogue box
- screen will sometimes go black
- Motion 2.1 makes entire machine slow down (such as moving over dock icons)
- apps hang for a long time
- G5 fans spin more
Incidentally, S.M.A.R.T status is verified on both internal drives, ran disk utility and fixed permissions yielded no problems found, I installed a new Tiger OS (archive and install, saving users and network prefs) and still had the problems, and ran Disk Warrior and still have the problems.
Any suggestions folks? At my witts end. I want to say the video card could be at fault but how do you know if a video card has problems? is there a card utility like DISK UTILITY?
My config:
G5 Dual 2 GHZ/ 4 GB RAM/ two 250 GB SATAs/ Apple 23" Cinema display (last model, not aluminum)/ Apple 17" LCD Studio Display/ WACOM Intuos2/ Blackmagic Decklink Extreme Card/ ATI Radeon 9600 XT (in AGP slot)/ ATI Radeon 9200 (in PCI slot)

Hi, T. C.
If you are seeing the following message
that indicates a kernel panic.
If so, see my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics. The FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work systematically through the end, i.e. the "If all else fails..." section.

Firefox 5 has caused so many problems, I want to uninstall and go back to a previous version. how?

firefox 5 has caused so many problems, I want to uninstall and go back to a previous version. the problem is that one of the issues 5.0 has caused is an error message when I click on "add or remove " on my control panel, so I can't remove Firefox 5. I have downloaded and run 3 supposedly good "fixers", but nothing has corrected my error issue. how can I uninstall 5.0 if I can't open the "add or remove" option? edit
Details

''I figured it was going to be FAFSA causing your problem.''
Install Portable Firefox 3.6.x to your hard drive for that one website. It won't affect your current Firefox installation at all. <br />
