Major problems with 64-bit on the K8N Platinum with CD-ROMs

Ok i'm convinced at this point that the MSI K8N Platinum has some real problems with XP period not just SP2....with CD-ROM's or the IDE channel.
I have FDISK my PC like 3 times now. And re-installed XP several times....
I originally used the MSI NForce drivers but I would subsequently install the NVIDIA unified drivers version 5.10 on my PC. Now as soon as I did this the CD-ROM's are dead. So I un-installed the NForce 2.5 ATA /IDE drives and then installed the Microsoft IDE channel drives. no more blue screens but...the CDRW does not work and I can't load half my CD-ROMS without a corruption failure occuring during installation.
Any ideas? I'm ready to get a new MOBO....and not not talking MSI or NVIDIA at this point.

I have had the same sort of problems as you.Slow boot up at start up and one of my cd drives not being recognized by windows(It always would show up in the bios).
One thing that I tried that reduces this problem from 1 out of 2 boot ups to maybe 1 in 10 boots was to not allow the bios to decide which dma mode the drive opperated in.
Get into your device manager screen and find your ide ata/atapi controllers
open it up and right click the parallel ATA controller.Select properties and tab through primary channel and secondary channels.
uncheck"Let BIOS select transfer mode" for all your drives or just the drives giving you problems.
Hope this helps

Any body have this kind of problem. What was done to correct it. . .

I can't wait to get a new phone as well. LG Revolution owners should be comped for this phone if Verizon intends to keep them as customers.

I have an old PowerPC and a Macbook Pro running 10.6.7 sitting side by side. Both are using AirPort to connect to the internet wirelessly to the same router, but the old Mac connects with full bars, but the MBP struggles with only 2. Pls help, thanks!

Yes, I could connect them by ethernet if all I wanted to do was transfer files, but I would like to network them so I could use wireless internet. The machines are not always so close together, I did that to simplify the testing. With the very slow transfer speeds I am reluctant to move ahead with the internet step.

Connect your iPhone to iTunes and restore or follow the prompts.

Error 4310 STILL a major problem, why? What is the fix? This is YEARS old problem.. Fix it Apple

Do a site search for 4310, page after page after page of the problem and no real fix that I was able to find. Not only with Window 8 or 8.1 but with earlier versions as well, multiple brands of PC's and burners.. I have Asus G75VW, latest updates for 64 bit Windows 8.1 (same problem when running 8.0), just did a reinstall of windows, newest version of itunes, able to burn CD's using Nero, imageburn, Media Player, Roxio; BUT NOT FROM ITUNES..

You can change this if you don't mind peeking under the covers into Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter the desired value:
(i) Page thumbnails (default)
browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
(ii) Blank tab
browser.newtab.url = about:blank
(iii) Built-in Firefox home page
browser.newtab.url = about:home
(iv) Any other page
browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

I have two pc, one with windows 7 professional and another with windows 8.1. I'm the only owner and user of both. One works with 32 bits and the other (windows 8.1) , 64 bits. Can I use acrobat standard XI in both pc's being the only usuary?

Just in case. I have two pc's one with windows 7 professional (32 bits) and another with windows 8.1 (64 bits). Can I use, with one license, as I'm the owner and only user, acrobat standard XI?. Thank you in advance
Francisco

Yes, the license allows 2 installs for the owner's personal use. You can check this in the license agreement if you wish.

I am having the B200 error which is a major problem. I have followed the directions without luck.

B200 error. What must I do to fix the problem? I have removed the ink and printer head and unplugged for 10 min. The MP620B still fails to work.

Hi CW63,
If you have already tried reseating the print head without success, the printer would require service. I recommend using the Contact Us link to get in touch with our support staff who can provide available service options.

HT201263 My iPhone 5 is still frozen after this, doesn't work the sleep/wake button pressed with home button, only the Apple logo with a download line below (I was downloading a new iPhone version from iTunes and the cable disconnected)

Please help me, the window is frozen with the Apple and download logo.

First, Thank you a lot for answering my question!
My problem is that since almost 2 hours the window is black, with the Apple logo, and the startup line filled at the very beginning. I own a Macbook Pro, I noticed that this product USB ports are made for the original iPod and iPhone USB's entrances, not for the new smaller iPhone 5 USB connector, so if I plug it in all, the computer doesn't detects it, so I need to take a little out. Well, I downloaded all my apps, because this iPhone is new, so I downloaded my apps bought and stored on my computer and then installed the software.
Well, it reseted as you said, and then the window went just like I described, but accidentaly the cable went out a bit, cutting the installation process. Then it froze and keeps like that. I did the buttons thing, but doesn't work. Is there something I can do? Happy Holidays and thank you!

Any news of the K8N incompatibility with Matrox G550 ?

G550 (Dual head AGP) isn't compatible with MSi's K8N Neo2 Plat when BIOS rev. is over 1.1
I guess everybody has 1.4 - currently shipping mobos - or 1.5 - downloaded to no avail from MSI site - , so my question is : does anyone have clues or informations about when the G550 will be "accepted" by the motherboard ?
or if you prefer "are there any plans to release a 1.6 revision that solves the problem?"
or even "is there a trick to make it work already now with BIOS Rev. 1.4 ?" ;-)
thanks :D

I have the same problem with g550, and I am waiting for knews, otherwise I must avoid msi.
Is done working on the g550 incompatibilty from the msi-phönix-guy's?

Some huge major problem on this sound card X-Fi Fatal1ty with Gigaworks S75

I done a clean reformat on my computer last night, so i slot in my Fatalty sound card and fix in the internal I/O dri've into my CPU. After that i done a clean installation on the sound card driver program. When i have done so, i plug in my speaker " Creative Gigaworks S750 ". I connect the 4 connector "gray, orange, black and green" to their connector at the subwoofer, and connect the other 3 "orange, green, black" to the sound card, but left one more optional connector left which is gray, so i didnt connect the gray one. After that, i boot up my computer and run the "Creative Speaker Connection Wizard", however i only notices only 5 of my speakers works. The other 2 doesnt.......so i thought it might be a fault with my speakers, so i switch the rear to side speakers, but it still stay the same problem....i try all other speakers as well.....and i found out that my Gigaworks doesnt have any problem, but how come my gigaworks speakers couldnt work with Fatality? I mean how come only 5 speakers got sound while other 2 doesnt? Could it be, i set the settings wrong in the X-Fi Creative console? I need serious help....i heard of good previews on this sound card...so i do really hope there will be a solution to fix this for me...thanks alot.....any help will be deeply appreciated.. need replys from you guys as soon as possbile.
Creative's Fan Regrads,
Benjamin

I believe it is the spare connector you left unplugged. Do you have the cable that came with the speakers? Should have a 3-mini jack connections on one side, and 4-mini jack connections on the other? Creative uses a 4-pole mini jack to add the side speakers to the rear and center/sub jacks on the soundcard. The 3 to 4 ended cable should allow you to connect properly

Issue with Safari and using the back arrow with multiple tabs open

I open multiple tabs in Safari but when I'm in a tab browsing and I hit the back arrow, in the new version of Safari, it doesn't just go back to the previous page in the tab, it completely backs out of all the tabs. What am I doing wrong?
I have a PC running Win 7 and the lastest version of Safari. I launch Safari which opens to my home page (CNN). I then go the News on my menu bar and select Open in Tabs - then tabs for 6 news sites open up. However if I go to one of the tabs and start navigating around the sight and I want to back up a page I click the back arrow like I have always done in previous versions of Safari but instead of backing up 1 page in the tab I'm in, it collapses all the tabs and I'm back with only the CNN tab still open. Its frustrating not being able to backup on page and I can figure out what's going on. I've use Safari for sometime now but only this version is giving me this problem. I tried resetting and reinstalling Safari but still get the same problem. Any ideas? Its like I'm backing out of tabs instead of pages.

Thanks for your quick response.
1) I have the Block Pop UP windows option turned off
2) I switched Safari to 32 -bit mode and rebooted my iMac but I still can't get the CBS videos to run
The exact message I get in the Hulu or CBS box is:
The video you have requested is either unavailable or is being blocked by an ad blocker installed in your browser.
I have the same problem with the Safari, Firefox and Opera (all are the latest versions.

Create a DVD with buttons to open the .pdf file with adobe Encore ?

Dear all !
I would like to create a DVD or a CD-Rom support with an interactive menu and buttons which allow us to open some files in.pdf.
It will be a conference DVD with all presentations in. pdf, contact list in .xls file, etc.
Is it possible to create such a DVD with adobe Encore ?
Thank you in advance.
Sév from France.

You could look around for "eDVD." Going back, it was being developed by Sonic, but they dropped it because of issues with Vista. About every 6 - 8 mos., some little tid-bit comes out, that the code has been bought and someone is working on it.
Also, Encore CS5 seems to have added some interactivity elements in BD, but I have only seen some bullet points, and zero details. Since Jeff did not make mention of CS5, my guess would be that the interactivity might not have been what you need - or enough details have not been released yet for any of us to know for sure. The full details will be available very soon though.
Good luck, and hope that whoever did acquire the code from Sonic IS on their way, as this is an oft requested feature.

How do I set up starry night with MacBook pro on the USB port with a serial/USB adapter?

How do I set up a MacBook Pro running Lion to interface with Starry Night software? My telescope is a Meade LX200GPS with a serial input. I have tried using a Radio Shack USB/Serial adapter which worked when I used a Windows 7 laptop but does not work with my MacBook Pro.

Just started to research this on both this site and on Starry Night .I was hoping to find a driver for the Radio Shack USB Serial Adapter from Apple's site. Radio Shack only has the Windows driver that came with the adapter. Will let you know when I find the right driver. Stay tuned.

Calling web service with utl_dbws and parsing the xml result with Xpath

I'm invoking a web service from the database(10.2.0.2.0) using sys.utl_dbws and all is working well. After executing response := sys.utl_dbws.invoke(call_, request); I execute dbms_output.put_line(substr(response.getstringval(),1,1500)); which results with:

How do I parse out just the value 20292 of Column name="C_ID" using xpath? I've tired but I don't think i have the xpath set up correctly:
dbms_output.put_line(response.extract('//result/Row/Column/child::text)','xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/refCursor10g"').getstringval());
Error messgae is:

Tried getting by the attribute but I don't think I have the format correct:
dbms_output.put_line(response.extract('//result/Row/Column@C_ID/child::text()','xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/ADM/SERVICES/GETST"').getstringval());

My late 2009 macbook stopped booting up after swapping hdd's with a macbook of the same model with a newer OS what happened did I somehow update my older Mac hardware with newer OS software because it won't recognize the original hdd anymore

I swapped hdd's with two diff os's and now I'm getting the question mark in the folder icon after replacing the two to their original MacBooks but they work while swapped I realized afterwards that I wanted to use the newer OS in my external enclosure and keep the older hdd in the macbook it was in from the start ive reset pram tried to boot to the menus or what have you by following the step in these forums but my macbook isn't even recognizing the original hdd that came in the macbook

Try booting to the Startup Manager and select your system drive.
Startup Manager: How to select a startup volume
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1310
Then see
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5282
Will it boot the disk when it is in an external enclosure but not when it is intsalled internaly? If so it may be the internal SATA cable that is bad (an inexpensive part).
