Lock Up In Halo - Via Chip Said To Be Problem... Work Around?

I'm experiencing system stalls... approximately 20 seconds while playing HALO. The game will stall then pick right back up.
Microsoft blaims the VIA chipset for this problem.
I'm hoping their is a work around.
I have the lastest drivers from VIA and Nvidia as well as the latest firmware for the MOBO. I can't seem to locate the video card BIOS on the website... and I know live update does it but I hate live update.
SYSTEM:
Windows 2000 Pro SP 4 (no updates listed on windowsupdate)
MSI KT3-Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E v. 1)
-- BIOS Ver 5.7 (stalls with all BIOS version and yes I tried them all)
-- VIA Hyperion Ver 14.51
MSI Nvidia Geforce3 Ti200 Pro TD-128 (MS-8851)
-- Detonator Ver 53.03
-- BIOS version unknown (I did update the firmware once)
Athlon XP 1700+
768MB DDR 266 (Micron)
80GB Western Digital SE
40GB Maxtor ATA 100 7200RPM 2MB
SONY 500A DVD+-RW
LG CD-ROM
Thanks,
Mike

Typical microsoft, there are thousands of via-boards sold but ms only says 'not our fault'. Great support indeed...
You may try >this but I really don't know if it solves your prob.
Virus scanners or firewall active?

HT201263 All of these steps were followed corectly. But a warning popped up and said that it could not be restored because it is locked with a pascode, and it said we must enter a pascode before we can use it with itunes. What should I do?

Can you 'lock out' a workstation via ZENworks?

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to 'lock out' a workstation via
ZENworks so users can no longer log into the workstation temporarily.
This is the scenario - when someone within our company orders a new
workstation, they will many times tell us that the workstation is being
replaced when in reality the old workstation it is replacing is never
taken off the network.
The problem? - we do not charge any new license fees for replacement
workstations PROVIDING the old workstation is disposed of (that way we
are able to transfer the licenses from the old to the new). If the old
workstation is still used, we are in violation of license fees.
Solution? - 'lock out' the old workstation so no one can use it any
longer unless they call our Helpdesk and it is 'unlocked' at which time
we remind them of the license charges.
I am not sure how this can be performed. We currently do something
similar with NEW XP PCs that have no local user accounts on them yet
(basically we enable login restrictions under the DLU policy - if the
workstation can't create a local user account for the user, they can't
log into the network or the PC). That solution would not work in this
case though since the local accounts would already be created on the PC.
We don't want to remove any software from the machine that will need to
be reinstalled in case the site does want to keep the machine on the
network after a new one is purchased. The solution should be designed to
easily enable the machine if the site does decide they want to keep the
machine on the network. Later on we would FDISK the PC for disposal.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as ALWAYS!
Steve

Perhaps a Workstation Associated app that just pushed an invalid value for the
GINA.DLL
Either Remote Regedit or another Force-Run app could restore this to a correct
value.
Needs testing to make sure you can fix what you break, but this would lead
everything intact.

Bought an ipod 4g at a pawn shop, it was locked and disabled but the guy said I could restore it, it didn't work and he won't take back the ipod what do i do?

I bought an ipod 4g at a pawn shop, it was locked and disabled but the guy said I could restore it by connecting it to my computer and pressing the home and sleep buttons at the same time, it didn't work and he won't take back the ipod what do i do?
When I try connecting it to my computer itunes opens and says I cannot connect to the ipod because it is disabled, enter passcode on ipod. The ipod is locked and disabled and will not allow me to try and put in a passcode, which I wouldn't be able to do because I have no idea what it might have been.
I downloaded the newest version of Itunes, restarted computer, connected ipod, nothing, held every button down for what seems like forever, nothing. I think I have been screwed by the pawnshop. Is there anyway of restoring this thing or is now just a $60.00 paperweight?

Locking entities in HFM via Workspace

we lock base entities through a grid in workspace. I believe the maximum number of lines available to see on a grid at one time is 1025 and we have 1040 entities therefore the remaining 15 must be selected manually in order to lock. This 15 will grow as we create new entities every month. Do we have any work around for this to avoid the manual effort.

Have you tried changing the grid settings for the display per page? The default is set to 1024 for rows and 128 for columns. I think you can change the 1024 to a higher number and that would allow you to display more dimension members.

Audigy Gamer + XP Pro + Via Chip

Howdy,
I originally installed my Audigy Gamer when I had Win98SE loaded on this PC. When I upgraded to XP Pro I had alot of problems. I wrote Tech Support, and they answered, saying the system had another sound device somewhere, that's what was causing the problem. There were no other sound devices, and I finally got the card to operate enough to play sounds. None of the CL software would work, the sound was crackly, but it was good enough to race with.
(a year later)
Lastnight I decided to give it a go at trying to get it installed correctly. What a huge mistake. The updated driver file completely slammed my PC. The CD-Roms were corrupted, along with a system file for PnP. I uninstalled everything, ran the ZAPP file from the CD, then reinstalled the card. XP saw it upon bootup, loaded the drivers, then asked for a reboot. I got the dreaded "No Sound Card Found" message.
Here's the freaky part. I can go into Device Manager and it shows the Audigy card. Properties says it's "Operating Properly". "There are no conflicts". But in Control Panel, under Sound, it says "No Audio Device Present". If I go to the "hardware" tab,.. it'll show the Audigy card. (??)
DirectX also doesn't list the card. I have read a few forums,.. and most of the people say that it's a combination of the Audigy card, XP Pro, and the Via Chipset on my MSI motherboard.
Is there a work around?
Can I get this thing loaded and operating properly?
I've wasted enough time fiddling with it already. More info: I built the PC, am fairly PC intelligent,.. am doing everything right as far as I can tell. I can't run any of the software updates from the site evn though the drivers are already installed because the install process stops when it can't find a creative audio device.
Any help would be appreciated. This card wasn't cheap,.. and I'd hate to toss it in the dumpster and swear off Creative products,.. I'd rather get it installed and stop whining.
Thanks.
Tim Casey

For anybody else having this same problem, continue reading the posts, or:
Go to Device Manager, look in System,.. is Plug and Play Software Enumerator" there?
If not,... (XP)
Search for "machine.inf", copy it to a Temp folder somewhere. Open it up and delete line 20 "ExcludeFromSelect". Save file to the new Temp folder. Search for "swenum.sys", copy it to the same Temp folder.
Then go to Control Panel, Add New Hardware,.. Have Disk,.. Browse to the Temp folder,.. "OK",.. then "System",... scroll down and highlight "Plug and Play Software Enumerator".

Made new account as per instruction ie [email protected] works fine
BUT as I want to utilise the money spent on the additional memory it would be great to use the initial account set up as my primary HOWEVER as far as I have tried the initial apple ID CANNOT be changed. Bit confused actually any usefull guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I have a 2007 iMac connected via WiFi. It has been working fine until I turned it on after a recent vacation. Network Preferences indicates that it is correctly connected to my WiFI system but the data input and output rate is virtually zero. I know that the WiFI signal is reaching the iMac since both my iPhone and iPad are working perfectly at that location. I have rebooted the router and the iMac to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Geoff

I had an old version of firefox & it made me upgrade to a newer version, however once I upgraded it said it does not work with my Mac that is a OS 10.4 & not I cannot access or download firefox, how can I download a older version for my Mac?

I had firefox on my computer and it made me download the newer version, but once I downloaded it, it said it does not work on my computer which is a Mac OS 10.4 and now I cannot use firefox at all on my computer. How do I download an older version that will work on my computer?

As of Firefox 4.0 and newer one needs at least OSX 10.5+ and Intel hardware.
The latest you can use on your Intel with OSX 10.4.11 is Firefox 3.6.25 (released recently) which can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
If you were to update to say OSX 10.5.8 then you can use Firefox 9.0.1

My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either.

My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either. I get an error message with multiple suggestions but none of them apply to my situation.
I am so dissatisfied with this printer. I'm sorry I got it from Amazon because now it is a hassle to return it. I will never buy another Canon.
The printer menus are confusing. I hate using it. I loved my previous Canon which finally stopped working after many years, that's why I purchased a newer Canon model. Never again. Stick with cameras.
Marcy Hotz

This note won't be as angry and frustrated as the last one...
Because I still had my old printer drivers and other applications on my hard drive, I think the application was trying to connect with the old printer. I deleted all the old stuff.
I also had several scanning applications on my drive which just confused me.
When I used the actual Canon MX922 application, I was able to scan but could only save as JPG, TIF or BMP (and one more, I forget which). So I did some research on the Canon site and found out how to save documents as PDF files using the Canon IJ Scan Utility.
It works now. So I'm satisfied, will keep this maching. I just had to take some time, sit down and focus on the problem.
