MSI N 9400 GT 512MB stops windows 7 from booting

I purchased a MSI N94GT-MD512 GeForce 9400 GT 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready Video Card from newegg (link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127412) When I got the thing I shut the computer off, installed the card, plugged in my monitor, booted and ran windows update for the driver. Everything worked perfect - great picture. I rebooted for some reason and the computer would get to "starting windows" and after that screen just reboot - endless cycle. I take the video card out and it boots no problem. If i uninstall the driver, shut off the computer, reinstall the card, and reboot it works - reinstall the driver, reboot, and endless boot cycle again. I can't figure this out. I'm running 32-bit fresh install of windows 7 ultimate. Any ideas?

Can I stop Windows 7 from warning about security on every linked PDF?

I am working on a project for which I have created one central document (an index) and 120 linked documents. Each document, on every page, has links to the next alphabetical document and back to the central index. This project will be distributed on disc to people with unknown computer platforms.
I am a Mac user, and this works well on my iMac using Adobe Reader. It also works on my ancient Windows XP machine. A tech friend has looked the project over, and he says that on Windows 7 (used by more than half of computer users), every time a document links to a new document, Windows 7 throws up a warning about PDF security hazards. With a large number of documents to open, this could be tiresome.
Is there a way to stop Windows 7 from warning about security on every linked PDF?
This tech person recommends joining all the PDFs into one file (around 50 MB by his estimate), which would require relinking every current link.
Acrobat offers to do the same with its Portfolio, but I'm not fond of the graphic styles offered, and I worry that one large file might be a challenge for older machines.
Any suggestions?

Can you get a screen shot of this error message or at least the exact wording? I suspect the error message is being displayed by Reader/Acrobat and not Windows.

How do I stop Windows 7 from rearranging my desktop after updates requiring reboots?

Every time I receive an update from Microsoft (MS) my computer reboots. That's okay. But, MS rearranges all the icons on my desktop! It takes forever to get them back where I NEED them because of class project reqirements to save projects on the desktop
for qiuick access. The computer is mine, not MS's; I paid for the software when I bought the computer, it was installed by ASUS; as I see it, MS has no business rearranging the way I have my desktop. I WANT THEM TO STOP IT!

Try right-clicking anywhere in the blank space on your desktop and from
the menu that appears mouse over “View”, uncheck “Auto arrange icons”. If that doesn't stop it from messing up your icon arrangement the next thing is to make it so you don't care if it happens or not because the same way it can mess things up in an instant
you can put them right back in an instant.
Myself I have found success with to different programs...
UltraMon and Restore Desktop.
UtraMon which is for controlling your desktop when you have multiple monitors.
It has a checkbox setting under "Desktop Icons" and two options "Save Now" and " Restore Now." You get your desktop just how you like it and hit the save now and then if Windows ever jumbles your icons you hit the restore now
and poof everything jumps right back to how it was a second ago and stays put. Every time your icons move you can now move them back exactly the way you like in less than 5 seconds. If you want to change things around yourself just make the any changes you
want and hit the "save now" again and it will remember your new icon layout and jump back to that new arrangement going forward when you hit "restore now."
The other I have not used in a while (once you go multi-monitor you don't
go back :D) but it was free IIRC and only served the one purpose you are seeking was called Restore Desktop. It worked the same but instead of having to open a separate app like UltaMon it just added two options to the right click menu "Save Desktop"
and "Restore Desktop" once you've got everything set the way you like right click anywhere that is not an icon on your desktop and save and anytime things get jumbled you can right click the desktop and choose restore and everything magically jumps
back to the way you want it again.
Cheers!

How do I stop Windows 7 from searching hidden files and folders

In XP it was simple with the intuitive Advanced Search Options.
Even if you enable "Don't show Hidden Files and Folders" in Windows 7, they still show up in the search menu. A similar post included a suggestion by a support dude to post a question here. I've searched for every possible solution and yet something so simple appears to be non existent. Has Microsoft just lost its mind with omitting this feature? Is this something that will never be solved? Indexed or not, hidden files and folders still appear in Search.
Thanks

what have you setup in Explorer->Organize->Folder & Search Options?
Don't show hidden and Hide: Empty, Protected, etc. all ticked
if you have at some stage indexed all those system folders, and subsquently removed those from the index scope, then you may need to rebuild the index so those results are not presented by searches?
i've assumed that you are getting things like \windows included, and this seems to be typical. perhaps because some common tools like notepad, wordpad etc reside in those folders.
have you checked out the Indexing Options?
from memory, "don't show hidden & system" really only obscures the stuff when you're browsing in explorer. the indexing engine doesn't respect that kind of setting. you'll need to get your indexing scope worked out to affect the search results presented.
I'm not concerned much with indexing, it's just amazing that there is no option to stop "Search" from searching hidden files and folders when "Don't show hidden" is checked - the way it was with XP, etc. As I understand it whether folder is indexed or not, will not stop "SEARCH" from searching them. It was quite simple in XP but in Windows 7 it seems it is impossible.

How to stop Windows iTunes from spontaneously creating new folders with duplicate copies of songs, and renaming existing folders?

I've recently started using iTunes regularly to import CDs. Since then, I've found my Windows 'My Music' folder is behaving in bizarre ways.
I like to organise most of my music in folders by Genre --> Album title, without paying attention to Artist. I also like to rename certain album folders (and the Album name in each track's metadata as well, so that each album/folder remains consistent), and also to create customised 'mix tape' album folders. I just want to use Windows Explorer / My Computer to manage this; I don't want to do it via iTunes. I just want to use iTunes for initially getting the music from CD to computer.
Previously, when I was using Windows Media Player to import CDs, if Windows Media Player placed an imported CD under a folder category I don't use, such as Artist, I would just manually move the Album folder and delete the empty parent Artist folder. However these days iTunes is spontaneously creating an entire series of Artist folders, even for tracks and albums that were already on my computer, and is placing duplicate track files into them. Additionally, it's renaming albums for folders and tracks I've customised, turning album titles back into their original values. This is happening even though the destination for newly imported/downloaded iTunes tracks is not the My Music folder itself, but rather another folder within that one. I've had a look at Preferences --> Advanced and the 'Keep iTunes media folder organised' and 'Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library' boxes are already unchecked, so it's not related to that anyway. How do I get iTunes to leave my folders alone?

First off see this user tip so should any further unwanted changes happen you have a chance to revert to your original layout.
It is not unknown for AV software to interfere with iTunes and corrupt its configuration files. If this happens iTunes can revert to the default settings to "Keep..." & "Copy...". Deselecting those options won't return any files to their original paths.
If you have "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" enabled under Edit > Preferences > Store that can lead iTunes to download the original metadata for any of your purchases and show that instead of any edits you may have made to it. Turing that option off and restarting iTunes may reveal your version of the metadata.
There is another option under Edit > Preferences > Store that reads "Share details about your library with Apple" although I don't think that changes metadata in the way that the similar option in Windows Media Player does. Double-check your settings in Windows Media Player (Options > Library) to make sure it isn't set to "Retrieve additional information from the Internet". This is usually the cause of spontaneous tag resetting. WMP can be called into life in the background when visiting certain websites and it has a lazy cache, meaning it can sometimes write out metadata to your media files long after the data was originally acquired.
It is also work noting that mp3 files may contain multiple tags and iTunes, for one, treats these unpredictably. In some cases it may appear to accept and write out a tag change only to later read back the original unchanged data from another copy of the tag.

Not booting after creating a fat32 partition from windows 8 from boot camp

I have windows 8.1 on a boot camp partition. I created a fat32 partition from windows looking forward to be able to share files to Yosemite OSX. But now, neither the OSX or the windows are booting. When pressing options key is only abailable one option, a disk tagged as "windows", and after trying to use it, it refers to a error message "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME". I really really appreciate any help regarding this issue.

Your entire disk is a MBR disk. You will need to erase the disk, and start from the beginning and install Yosemite/Mavericks, and then use BC Assistant to create a Windows partition and install Windows. If you have a Time Capsule/Time Machhine backup, you can restore it after your erase using the command below.
You can erase the disk as follows
diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ OSX disk0
Here is the Usage help syntax.
diskutil erasedisk
Usage: diskutil eraseDisk format name [APM[Format]|MBR[Format]|GPT[Format]]
MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode
Completely erase an existing whole disk. All volumes on this disk will be
destroyed. Ownership of the affected disk is required.
Format is the specific file system name you want to erase it as (HFS+, etc.).
Name is the (new) volume name (subject to file system naming restrictions),
or can be specified as %noformat% to skip initialization (newfs).
You cannot erase the boot disk.
Example: diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ UntitledUFS disk3

Will dead battery stop netbook g62 from booting up even when plugged into the mains

Had the battery warning (last week)
did not replace now will not boot up even when plugged into the mains. Is this likely to stop booting or just a case of more than one thing wrong at the same time. New battery expensive to buy if it is likely to be something else wrong.

A battery can be so dead it will keep the laptop from powering on fully when the dead cells suck up too much of the power. Will it turn on with "mains" connected but battery removed?

Electricity supply failure stops Windows 8 intermittently from next startup, tell me procedure of stopping hanging of Windows 8.

Electricity supply failed and now intermittently Windows 8 stops, Windows 7 (dual boot) doesn't hangs also corrects from problems automatically, why Windows 8 starts problemed after electricity failure and woudn't correct itself?
(Intel motherboard DZ75ML-45K and Windows 8 are not at all compatible, default drivers of Windows must not be answer.)

Windows Media Player keeping Automatic Maintenance window/Windows Updates from doing auto-restart

I have a system that is connected to a domain, and it runs a video playlist in Windows Media Player for digital signage upon bootup (and auto-login). WMP is set to loop the videos over and over again, but it also is preventing automatic updates from
installing and/or auto-restarting at 3:00AM in the morning (and yes, the system power management is set to keep the computer on all the time).
How can I fix this?
I have a GPO set up to install updates and restart automatically (option 4). I tried the GPO option to use the Windows 8 maintenance window to install updates, and also tried turning that option off and just using a 3:00AM restart period. Neither
option seems to work, so it looks like Windows Media Player is preventing an auto-restart to finish the update installation. Is there any way around this, so that Windows Media Player doesn't stop Windows Updates from doing its job? I don't care
if that means the video stops playing because it just starts up again on the next bootup.
I looked at the WMP GPO's and the only option that sounds like it's related is the option to turn on or off the auto-updating of media info for WMP, but it has nothing to do with what I'm trying to accomplish. If I missed something, let me know.
If there is some other way to accomplish this, such as associating and launching the playlist file with the Xbox Videos app, I would be fine with that, but I need it to loop the playlist continually (I also use the Shuffle option
in WMP - ***see note below for another question). I still want the system to automatically install updates and reboot on a regular schedule despite the video playing in the foreground.
***Side question: is there any way to turn Repeat and Shuffle options on in WMP without having to load the GUI (for scripting a playlist)?
Just FYI: this system is actually using Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Enterprise (from a MAPS account), but it isn't customized aside from not having the standard WinRT apps from a stock Win 8.1 install loaded - it is a stock install from the ISO.
From what I understand, it is the same as Windows 8.1 Enterprise, except that it is only licensed to be used as an "appliance" machine for a single role - which it is. So I'm assuming that there are no actual differences from a "regular"
Windows 8.1 SKU that would cause this issue. If I am completely mistaken about this, please notify me on it. The reason I'm making this statement is in case there are any differences in Embedded 8.1 Industry Enterprise that I am not aware of.
Otherwise, I welcome any assistance that would target a "regular" version of 8.1 Enterprise. NOTE: Someone said to post this into the Windows Embedded forum, but the only one that exists is the one for POSready - and this is HARDLY the
POSready version of Windows Embedded that I'm using.

Hi,
Did you use the policy Local Computer Policy\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update\Always automatically restart at the scheduled time?
I noticed an description "restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations" policy is enabled, then this policy has no effect." it means if system installed some updates which unneeds restart computer, this policy would has no effect.
In my opinion, your problem should not caused by WMP setting. please check your installed updates whether they need restart computer.
In addition, Power Managment in Control Panel also can prevent the schedule task running.
Control Panel\System and Security\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings\Change advanced power settings\Sleep\Allow wake timers
Please make sure this option is enable.

MSI Ati Radeon HD4850 512MB CrossFireX

Hi all! My name is Mark, and I've made a topic about how to make RAID 5 on a MSI Platinum DKA790GX
I have a new problem, a few days ago, acquired another HD4850 512MB MSI Radeon exactly equal to that already had, to fomar a CrossFireX, the thing is that this all wrong, and not to do ... I explain how procedures
first of all, connect the new video card to see if it worked and if it works perfect, then connect the 2 video cards to the motherboard, and connect the 2 bridges CrossFireX then lit the computer, and perfect, I noticed dispostivos administrator, and the 2 plates are recognized each other, so here we go perfect, then I went to AMD Vision Engine Control Center, to enable CrossFireX and I went out no option, nothing at all to enable CrossFireX I set if 2 plates were activated, and are disabled, the primary adapter is active, but the other says Disabled Adapter, and do not understand that in the device manager are the two ... Well, I started aa look everywhere solutions and had not, they said that previous drivers again, what I did, but none worked, none tell me the option for CrossFireX ... try using a single CrossFireX bridge but does not work, update the BIOS of my motherboard is a MSI DKA790GX Platinum, and I do not see any option to enable CrossFireX, uninstall video card drivers, use Driver Sweeper to remove the root ATI drivers, and install new ones, and try the old and I do not work ... and do not know what else people did it all, yesterday was Saturday from 2 pm until 1 am and I still can not solve the problem, I need help getting to ride these two video cards, not how , probe around as you can see, and I can not think of anything more!!!
please if anyone can help me, I would be grateful now!
My PC specifications:
Motherboard: MSI DKA790GX Platinum, GPU's: MSI ATI Radeon HD4850 512MB x2, RAM: 4GB RAM Dual-Channel Kingston, CPU: AMD Phenom x3 8650, Power Supply: Cooler Master 750W Plus, x2 Samsung 500GB Hard Disk x2 Western Digital 500GB Hard Disk , RAID 5 System Mounted

Well folks, I have all things settled, the final version I have served for the AMD Vision Engine Control Center was the 11.12 version of the Radeon drivers, which let me install all your applications, also I did a change in Bios, I had updated to version 1.G0 and now go to 1.20 which is older, but has no more errors! so here I have all walked to perfection, with gta 4 walk at 60 fps, and later the only thing I need is to buy 4 more GB of RAM, and RAID 5 disk partition I have for windows 7 64 bit, to have all optimized to 64 bits, since all the components of my pc are for use at full 64-bit, ie, would travel faster, for example, more FPS in games!
although I had no answer, and I had about 20 visits, no matter, thank you xD Like
I send greetings to all from Argentina!
Goodbye!

How do I stop the Finder from seeing SMB (Windows) shares on the network?

I have the OPPOSITE problem most people have -- Windows Sharing works TOO WELL.
I've donated a refurbished eMac to the local homeless shelter. I figured I'd made the system secure, and prevented any monkey business. Turns out the windows machines on the network are COMPLETELY insecure (guest access to everything is enabled). The problem is that the Mac is TOO friendly -- it automatically connects to the server as a guest, and happily presents everything to the user.
I've tried a dozen different things (I've removed the 'Shared' section from the sidebar in the Finder windows (Go->Network is still there, Doh.), tried to turn off File Sharing, and even disabled the mount_smbfs command in the /sbin directory with "chmod 0 mount_smbfs".)
I've asked the folks there to call in a PC tech and fix their security problem -- but it's a good question to which I've found no suitable answer... How to I stop the Mac from connecting to SMB Shares on the local network?
Thanks.
-JD.

Same problem, keep getting a pop up with connection failed you do not have permission to access the server. The server is a windows 7 box, Starting happening after an up grade to windows 7. Nowhere can I find how to stop trying to connect. I am sure its at the unix level of samba but what to do is another question

When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

In Logic:
Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number. It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

MSI Digi Vox Micro HD on Windows 7 64 bit Laptop

I have a problem with my MSI Digi Vox Micro HD on Windows 7 64 bit. After inserting the cd with the drivers I get a pop up to autorun it. After I clicked Yes the installation didn't start. Instead I'v got an Invalid path error and the autorun froze. I'v had no other options then to install every single program separately for the tuner from the cd. First the Driver, than Arc soft, Media converter, total media running the *setup.exe files from the CD. I'v restarted the Laptop and wanted to configure the tv signal. I'v started the Total media 3.5 application and went to Setup->TV menu. There was this option: Select "Next" to begin configuring your TV signal (NEXT/Cancel). At any time I'v tried I get "The device cannot be detected or it is not supported." This device should be compatible with windows 7 (it is advertised so). How come these errors occur? What could be the main problem? How can I get my tuner work properly? Please help I'm very disappointed.

Yes, but as you are using 64bit Win7, does the driver CD contain 64bit drivers?
At present, there are no drivers listed for download on the product page:
