  • ROKU SoundBridge users read this BEFORE installing iTunes7

    The following was emailed to me today from ROKU
    " With the release of iTunes 7.0 yesterday, Apple has changed some of the underlying technology that allows the SoundBridge to communicate directly with iTunes. We hope to have an iTunes 7.0- compatible release of the SoundBridge software soon; however, at this time all SoundBridges are incompatible with the music sharing feature of iTunes 7.0. We recommend that SoundBridge owners wait for a SoundBridge update before upgrading to iTunes 7.0. Users wishing to upgrade to iTunes 7.0 (or who have already upgraded) can install the free Firefly media server to share music libraries with SoundBridge. Firefly is available at http://www.rokulabs.com/firefly"

  • Dell Computer Users Read This!

    My dad had a proffesional come to our house and try to install itunes to our dell computer. unfortunatley, the guy said that itunes is not compatible with dell computers for some reason and all the people itunes he tried to install had dell and it never worked. so my dad got a new computer which is not a dell im just writing this to tell all the dell computer users that itunes is NOT compatible with it. if you got yours to work with a dell more power to ya.
      Other OS  

    I have iTunes/iPod installed on two Dell Laptops and my brother-in-law has a 2 Laptops and Desktop by Dell. All running iTunes without issue.
    Maybe your OS is not compatible.
    Hope you did not buy a PC from that "professional", as well.

  • VERIZON users read this first!

    I just bought a new Droid X from Verizon about three weeks ago and after two weeks the phone was dead due to poor workmanship from the company. Now Verizon does not want to replace it, and I get nothing but delays and excuses when it comes to get another one. I also paid 400 something for this phone and they wanted me to accept a use factory 2nd for a replacement. Verizon will screw you bad with these phones. Do not buy a Droid X they are worthless and the company will not work with you for a replacement.

    I hear you pain, I have been with other companies too and the best service was Alltel but now Verizon has taken over and they are improving in customer service. I had to switch to Verizon because of my 4 relatives sharing my plan two needed new phones. I was forced to switch to Verizon. This came at no cost to me but I felt that I was starting over with a new company because I was an Alltel customer and was with them for years.
    Back to your pain, I had the Blackberry Storm then switched to the Storm 2 and had a lot of problems with it, I was in the store every other month and they gave me refurbished phones, always a new problem. I call the *611 number and was given a choice to upgrade my phone even though I haven’t been with them for 2 years. I upgraded to the Droid X. I love it, no problems. Bottom line is … there is a lemon where ever you go, be it a relative or a car or an electronic piece of equipment, and they are out there. My husband has a Storm and never has problems.  If I had to do it again I would choose the Droid X again and again until something better comes along.
    They offered a refurbished one because that’s their policy and I understand the whole spend 400 for a now refurbished phone. It sucks. But it’s better than nothing and refurbished phones have been looked over by experts ( I use that term carefully)  and you still have a warranty so if it fails then do it again. Try the * 611 number, it may help, they don’t want to lose your service and don’t want you to stand in their store complaining.

  • Hand - Off - Auto / Remote - SCADA Architecture Question *All You Super Users Read This*

    I am new to the forum. I have searched the net for almost 6 months on this and haven't really found a good response....
    I have been around the block a few times with various control systems(Arduino/Labview/AllenBradley/general SCADA) and am trying to figure out how to build a "proper" control system on the cheap. I used to use alot of Labview in School so that is how I ended up here.
    What I want to do is have Hand Control at the Machine (Arduino Control System / or something) be able to switch that to Auto/Remote (Labview or some other language) then have that talk to SCADA (Thingspeak, SQL, havent figured this part out yet).
    My question is how would you do it? I am a pretty good programmer and know just about every language so nothing is off the table. Seriously I would like to see some creative action.
    I dont think LIFA is the best cause I need LOCAL control of all the variables. I would like to have PID loops etc running on the Arduino. I need to be controlling serial attached machines. I have some RS-485/232 going to VFDs and a dSPiN as well.
    However, when I want to control it remotely, I would like to be able to pass set points if in auto mode or even better, in addition, be able to override auto and drill down into each attached component and control it in Hand remotely.
    I know I could do this by building everything in VIs then linking through LIFA and using the VI as my hand/auto. However, I do not trust the link between LIFA and the Arduino that much. Also I do not know the capability of LIFA to do the RS-485 and serial data to the dSpiN. I need to be on Ethernet/Wifi, and if the controller goes down we may have a legitimate safety problem; hence why I want local control as my backup.
    Further more how would you do the SCADA? I dont want to spend 4K on a Full Labview License.....I would prefer just using the iPad app and some free online services...I will  have a server running all the time as well.
    If LIFA can be used to do some of this please let me know....Any links to past projects by people would be a huge help.
    My Plan right now is:
    Machine Data/Control sent to Arduino over RS-485 , 4-20ma and SPI.
    Local Control on the Arduino. Local Arduino connected LCD displays Key Parameters.
    Send Local Main Variables *Set Point / Run / Stop Etc / Key Data* over Serial or Hacked LIFA to Labview over ethernet or wi-fi.
    Labview acts as main supervisory "go-between" and provides all main "in house" HMI support
    Real time proccesing happens in Labview and is displayed on labview VIs; Realtime data is also sent out remotely over a service for world wide access.
    Labview also sends all real time data to historical service of some kind either (web based or local based) (will be locally hosted)
    Access historical data remotely by some means (API / Webservice)
    Remote World Wide Access to Labview and thus machine, through Labview iPad app or VPN into house.
    World Wide Historical Access through API or Webpage.
    That is where I am at in my thinking. Please blow it up and make it better.
    I appreciate y'alls help. I posted this in the Arduino Section and they told me to post here.

    Hello Colin,
    Unfortunately I am not familiar with the overall architecture but, if you need to build a SCADA type system, you can use LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) Module. It’s an add-on to LabVIEW and a lower cost alternate option to other SCADA programs out there.
    The LabVIEW software is not a free tool, but will save you time developing your project. Also if you use one provider, your support request will be handled from one source, therefore making your development process more efficient.
    Please refer to the following links in case you are interested in evaluating the LabVIEW Software and LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) Module.

  • Toast users read this

    Hi there, I know that many of us use Toast for burning DVDs.
    In a recent post, I explained my problems with multisession burning using a MAC/PC format (compatible for both Mac and Pc)
    The answer I finally got from the Roxio technical service is the following:
    "Regarding your issue with burning milti-session CD's. Unfortunatley
    this option is only available when burning "Mac only" CD's, a "Mac & PC"
    option is not available."
    I have found that a good alternative is to use the ISO9660 option which allows multisessions.
    Have a nice day all.

  • Unable to log in user at this time / opening up all ports

    I've got a lion 10.7.3 server and several Lion client boxes all attached via ethernet to an airport extreme.
    I've got a bona fide certificate that seems to have installed correctly, and the client is talking to the open directory server
    Without fail, I get a message "unable to log in the user at this time" on each of the clients...
    UNLESS I open up all ports on my airport extreme to the server. 
    I've tried opening individual ports for AFP, profile manager (1640, 2195), open ldap (389, 636) and even kerberos (88).  Even with all of these open, it still doesn't work.  I have to open up everything to get the error to go away - then the users can log in just fine.
    Note, I'm logging in from the local network to a server on the local network, so this just seems bizarre.
    I don't have the logs on this computer, but I recall that the error was occurring when it tried to mount the home directory, after authentication.  It was an error 64 from homedirmounter (if memory serves).
    Any thoughts on what port I'm missing that might be causing the error?

    3659 is the SASL port used by the password server, so that makes a certain amount of sense.
    However, I still maintain that if your network is configured in the way I'd expect, the base station shouldn't be relevant. The clients should be connecting on a LAN-to-LAN basis so the firewall/filter in the base station shoudn't be in play.
    Given what you say, I suspect you've misconfigured your network - probably at the DNS level and you're not running private DNS for your LAN, which would force the clients to connect through the public address. The risks and downside of this approach are numerous - not least of which is the fact that you ARE exposing your server to the general public (including all the less-than-honourable people out there). On that basis there is a risk and i'd look to close that soonest.
    You should have a private DNS server running on your LAN that knows the private network addresses of your servers and clients. In this way any client should be able to connect directly to the server's LAN address, bypassing the public interface on your base station. I suspect that if you perform a DNS lookup on your server's hostname you get back its public address, right?

  • "We had difficulty reading this feed. null" Atom feeds no longer work?

    Hi - our Audioboo feeds used to work fine when submitting as a podcast (eg http://audioboo.fm/users/4705/boos.atom). It seems like they stopped working recently - maybe in the past couple of days - and just report "We had difficulty reading this feed. null" when you try to submit them.
    I'm beginning to suspect that the use of atom rather than rss is the cause. Can anyone confirm?
    -Jonathan

    This feed can be subscribed to manually in iTunes (from the 'Advanced' menu) - actually I'm rather surprised it works because it isn't a valid podcast feed (though it is a valid Atom feed).
    It has the iTunes 'declaration' and some itunes tags, although the former is contained in a 'feed' tag whereas it should be a 'rss' tag: there is no 'channel' tag enclosing the podcast data, no 'item' tags enclosing each episode, and no 'enclosure' tags within each episode containing the media URL. I'm not surprised you can't submit it as a podcast, and as I say it's a but surprising that the iTunes application recognizes it.
    In order to get it accepted in the iTunes Store you need to create a feed in the correct format: this page contains a sample basic feed so you can see how it should look:
    http://www.wilmut.org.uk/pc
    If the feed contains the valid iTunes format it can also contain atom tags, which iTunes will ignore.

    Assuming you've done a system wide search for it including the Applications folder and it's not there......
    I think you will need to address this with them - did you pay them for the application? Or was your purchase price to include it? And the question(s) to ask them:
    If the app store states that it has been downloaded, ask them where it is and which Apple ID they used. (the store keeps track of Apple IDs and machine IDs on everything you download).
    I have absolutely no faith in their advice; however, in this case, it's not so much technical advice, but an answer to your questions: you paid for something and it appears not to be there.

    In case you did not find it, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement on Premiere Elements 19/NVIDIA GeForce
    that appears at the top of this forum.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
    Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
    back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
    glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
    to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
    the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
    Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

  • "How do I defrag my mac?" "You don't need to, it does it itself" Fragmented Free Space: 99%. READ THIS NOW

    Just a heads up for my fellow Mac users.
    "How do I defrag my mac?"
    "You don't need to, ever. It does it automatically."
    "But it's running really slowly..."
    "Repair permissions or something. Defragging is not necessary on a mac."
    Techtool pro is now defragmenting my mac. Looks like the job's going to take about 4 hours. I thought I'd give everyone the truth about this while waiting (on a different computer obviously)
    The truth is, Apple's defragmenting system ***** BALLS. It has two massive, massive flaws which I feel people urgently need to be made aware of.
    #1: It only defragments files up to 20mb. If you're a movie producer, a songwriter, a photographer, or anything which involves working with many massive files, the built in defragmenting program WILL NOT HELP YOU IN THE SLIGHTEST.
    #2: It only defragments FILES. Free space is ignored, which eventually causes absolutely hrrendous problems.
    Let me give you an analogy here. Imagine your mac's hard drive is a bookcase with lots of books on it.
    File fragmentation is when it can't find a gap in the bookcase big enough for the entire book, so it breaks the book into pieces and srotes them in different gaps.
    Space fragmentation is when there are gaps all over the bookcase, instead of all the books being pushed to one side so there's a long gap elsewhere.
    Apple's built in defragmenting program will only fix the first problem - and even then, it will ignore any book bigger than 20 pages long, if you have bigger books which are broken up, you're screwed.
    Why is space fragmentation a problem? It's a problem because it directly LEADS TO file fragmentation. If there is a large block of free space all in one part of the disk, then an entire file can be written to it. However, if there is no single free block big enough for the file, it HAS NO CHOICE but to fragment it.
    So basically you might have 5 GB free and want to save a 2GB imovie project. That's cool. But what you may not realize is, the biggest single area of free space is only say 600MB. Others are around 300 and 400. Therefore the file MUST be fragmented into all these different areas, which wouldn't be necessary if all the free space was in one area of the disk.
    But apple's built in tools don't do anything about this, at least not in Tiger. PErhaps this has been fixed in later installations but I'm almost certain the same issues exist in leopard.
    Your only option is to buy a defragmenting program. I know this ***** but believe me, this IS something you NEED to do if your activity on your laptop involves disk space - intensive projects. I'm using TechTool Pro which has been recommended to me as hands down the best. It has a number of other functions as well, right now I'm only using the defragmenting tools but it has others for repairing damages disk sectors and other mantainence tools. There are other programs such as iDefrag out there as well.
    Why am I telling you this? I'm telling you because I experienced mind numbing frustration trying to get answers from the Apple community. Google it or ask the question yourself and you will most likely be whacked in the face with the intro to my post here - "You don't need to, it's not necessary, macs do it themselves, blah blah blah"
    Even worse, Apple's own webpage on the subject is nothing short of a disaster. It basically says "You PROBABLY don't need to defragment, unless you work with large files." That's it. You'd expect it to have an extra section saying "If you DO happen to work with large files, here's what you do" but no such section exists. It basically says "You don't need to defrag most of the time, and on the rare occasions when you do, well, too bad, you're screwed."
    I urge everyone to heed this or they will be tearing their hair out at how slow their mac has become and the fact that no one will offer any meaningful advice other than the standard, generic, "Repair permissions" - the Mac equivelant of "have you tried turning it off and on again".
    My disk is at 99% fragmented free space. NINTEY NINE PERCENT. In other words, although I have 25GB of free space, there was not a single contiguous block on the entire machine. I had almost 5,000 fragmented files as well, mostly imovies. Defragmenting got this down to about 300.
    The defrag job is taking more than 4 hours and will probably go on to take a lot longer than that. This machine has been slowly grinding to a halt over the last 3 years and now I know why.
    Please don't listen to anyone. Get yourself a defragmenting folder, and email Apple to tell them it's just not good enough to give their customers half assed answers and inadequate basic maintainence tools. Mac OS X must literally be the only operating system out there where something as basic as defragmenting is not only almost impossible to get answers on, but actually costs money to fix once you DO get answers.
    As customers, we should not accept this any longer. I intend to spread the above message far and wide.
    I LOVE Apple. I've always been "a mac" and I always will be. This in no way a mac bashing post or a windows endorsing one. I wouldn't switch back to windows if you gave me a million euro.
    But sometimes even the best developers can royally f*ck up. This is one of them.
    There is no readon people should be forced to put up with this crap. Absolutely no reason at all. I've had 3 months of crappy performance with no official explanation whatsoever.
    Apple if you're reading this: I love your products. I'm a loyal customer. People are more forgiving than you think, speak up, admit you dropped the ball, and DO something about it in your next updates to Lion and whichever versions of Leopard you are still actively maintaining.
    There's no shame in admitting when you're wrong. The shame is in hiding behind false promises and walls of silence.
    --Loyal customer, but feeling rather betrayed by all this.

    The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
    Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
    Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
    Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
    So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement.

  • Trouble shooting guide! Read this first!!!! rev 13-1-2004

    (Revision 13-1-2004)  
    Hi there,
    Follow everything on the list, even if it doesn't look like it would solve your problem, most problems are created somewhere else!
    To give some examples:
    CPU won't run FSB133....mostly powersupply or CPU-cooler.
    Videocard won't load drivers....mostly powersupply.
    Sound won't work.....mostly metal-standoff's.
    Windows won't install, file read error.....mostly CPU-cooler, Bad-ram or powersupply.
    That is why you need to go over the entire list and check all!
    Before you start doing anything, remove the power and make sure that you have touched the metal case of your system. If you don't you could damage your system due to static discharge!  
    Thanks to Arioch and Dragon60 for comments on this.
    There are several reasons why this happens.....to name the most commen:
    CPU speeds  
    You have a Duron, that CPU is 100FSB!
    You have a Athlon(XP) and it's showing the wrong speed, set the CPU-FSB to 133....
    Or 166 when it's a FSB333 CPU....or 200 when it's a FSB400 CPU....
    Some boards have a jumper to set it, other do it in the BIOS.
    Check your manual for this.
    Speeds must be:
    Duron upto 1300MHz = 100MHz (=200DDR)
    Duron from 1400MHz = 133MHz (=266DDR)
    Athlon B type = 100MHz (=200DDR)
    Athlon C type = 133MHz (=266DDR)
    Athlon XP - C type = 133MHz (=266DDR)
    Athlon XP - D type = 166MHz (=333DDR)
    Athlon XP - E type = 200MHz (=400DDR)
    Use this link to see if your motherboard actually supports your CPU.
    The TBred CPU's (0.13) start from XP-1700 and up, but not all boards support this CPU and they either show on the D-LED all red or don't start at all!!
    The K7T266pro2 is an exception, it can be made to support the TBred CPU's, on this link you find all the info on how to make it work.
    Many reports have told us that FSB333 CPU's work on KT3-Ultra boards work just fine, but it's unsupported by MSI, we don't know why....
    As for mulipliers with AMD CPU's, just set them Automatic, as they are hardcoded on the CPU themselves and will allway's be correctly, even if if you think the BIOS doesn't know it.
    How to recognise the CPU:
    If you look on the dice, there are letters after the speed.
    The last letter will tell you the FSB of the CPU.
    B=100MHz (=200DDR)
    C=133MHz (=266DDR)
    D=166MHz (=333DDR)
    E=200MHz (=400DDR)
    To recognise a CPU quickly, checkout this link.
    Thanks Mellops.
    The MHz setting must match your setting in the BIOS for FSB value, as it translates to the correct FSB setting for the CPU.
    The best way to identify a processor is by using the OPN (Ordering Part Number) which can be found on the processor (E.g. AXDA 2700 D K V 3 D).
    Detailed information on the code can be found in this AMD document. (Thanks Hans)
    CPU Cooling  
    CPU cooler not made for your CPU, check if it can handle your CPU....
    CPU cooler mounted wrong!, take it off and check it as it will fit 2 way's, but only 1 is the right one, examine very carefull!
    The cooler has a lower part that needs to go over the bump (higher part) of the socket, if it's not over there it won't cool the entire dice and WILL give you trouble.
    Also check if it's making contact with the entire dice of the CPU...
    Make sure you regrease it again, the same grease/paste can't be used twice!
    YOU MAY NEVER USE A THERMALPAD OR GREASE AGAIN! APPLY NEW EVERY TIME YOU TAKE THE COOLER OFF!!  
    top 2 show how not to do it
    Used too much silver-grease! It will shorten the bridges on the CPU, clean it and use white-paste.
    (Silver-paste is not recommended in any case!)
    The latest AMD XP CPU's (XP-2200 and above) require a copperbased heatsink because the dice is smaller and generates far more heat per square cm then the "old" CPU's do.
    How to check the cooler before taking it off.
    There is a simple way to check the cooler without taking it off.
    You do this by first checking your idle temp with PCAlert, it should be below 50-55C.
    Then you download a client from www.distributed.net, let this client run for about 10 minutes while monitoring the temps, after about 1 minute or so it should stabilize and your temp should have gone up about 10-15C (max).
    If it still goes up or the system crashes, there is a big chance you mounted the CPU-cooler wrong.
    When you can't run this check, try with FSB100, if the system does run the check then, it could be well that the cooler is mounted wrong or your powersupply doesn't have enough power.
    ***** YOU CAN'T CHECK THE CPU COOLER ON TEMPS OR FAN RUNNING, IT MUST BE TAKEN OFF THE CPU!!! *****  
    Cleaning the CPU and Cooler - thanks to Dragon60 for his addition.
    An additional comments about this is what you clean the CPU with in this situation. The best thing to use is isopropyl alcohol. If this is not available then metholated spirits would do.
    Make sure you allow the CPU to dry properly before you put it back in. This also means DO NOT try and clean it whilst it is still in the socket as some of the cleaning fluid, grease and dirt may get underneath and short some pins.
    Last but not least. DO NOT use acetone to clean anything inside your PC. (or outside for that matter) It MAY not do any damage BUT it may disolve some parts.
    Thanks Dragon60.  
    If you don't understand what we are talking about on this cooler matter, then read this link: AMD CPU & Cooling guide  
    Powersupplies  
    Powersupply too little, most commen cheap 300W CPU's can't handle an XP-1700 or above, try a better one to be sure.
    Make sure your powersupply has about 185W combined on the 3.3+5V and that the 3.3V has 20A or above.
    That should be enough for most systems.
    On the latest boards the 12V has become very important too, expecialy with TBred CPU's.
    Make sure yours can give 18A or more on the 12V line too.
    I have found that a lot of cheap 350W will fail with modern boards and TBred CPU's.
    Allway's make sure you have a decend PSU, it never fails to spent a bit more on that part!
    Borrow a bigger one from a friend if you are not sure....
    More info about powersupplies: Click here.
    And the second you must read: Click here.
    Powersupplies with these type of numbers on them or higher should be fine:
    3.3V - 28A or better
    5V - 30A or better
    12V - 18A or better
    Watch out!! Cheap PSU's like Q-Tec come nowhere near these figures!!
    Do NOT trust the 300W or 400W rating on them!!!
    Q-Tec is about the worst of them all!!  
    Metalclips  
    Stand-off's left between the board and the case, take the board out and check for too many of those metal-clips, they can shorten circuits and cause al sorts of problems (most of the time audio problems)
    RAM
    Ram problems, don't try to run with PC100 (SDram boards) when you have a 133FSB CPU, get PC133 ram of decend quality.
    In any case, don't use cheap quality ram (Crucial seems decend, but give's a lot of problems, I consider these cheap quality too :P ), replace the ram with another brand to see if it fixes it....
    DDR ram speeds:
    Duron upto 1300/Athlon-B =100FSB=PC-1600=DDR200
    Duron from 1400 =133FSB=PC-2100=DDR266
    Athlon-C/XP upto 2600 =133FSB=PC-2100=DDR266
    Athlon XP D-type and above =166FSB=PC-2700=DDR333
    Athlon XP E-type and above =200FSB=PC-3200=DDR400
    Higher DDR speeds are only a must if you try to overclock, they have no speed gain if run at the correct speed. You may use faster ram on a slower system, the speeds given are what is needed minimum.
    Perform RAM test tools, ie http://www.memtest.org if you suspect RAM is faulty, such as BSOD or data corruption. [added by Maesus]
    Try your system allway's with 1 stick of ram, adding more sticks can give all the trouble too.
    Some sticks just won't work in pair and a lot fail when you put 3 or more in the system.
    When you want to use 3 sticks, make very sure you use the MSI tested ones, they are your best chance that they work without problems.
    If still nothing, try to seat the ram in another slot, sometimes they work better in another slot.
    Thanks boost
    Or rise the Ram voltage a little, be carefull doing this!
    Sometimes this works when you have a lot of ram in there.
    BIOS  
    BIOS settings not right, clear the CMos and start with the default settings, if it works, try setting ONLY the FSB to 133 if needed, nothing more.....
    And go further from there......
    Clearing CMos
    When you clear the CMos, make sure that all power is cut from the system.
    This is done by takeing the wall-plug out or use the switch on the powersupply to turn it off.
    On most boards, as far as I know all MSI boards, you must set the JBat1 to position 2-3 (clear position) for about 10 seconds, then set it back to 1-2 (keep data position)
    After this your CMos should be cleared and you can turn the system back on.
    In some rare cases it's needed to take the battery out too for a minute or so.
    It can happen that the system will prompt you to set the BIOS again, go into the BIOS and set everything you need, then save the settings.
    Thanks fguevara.
    Harddisks  
    Harddisk is giving problems, most of the time with WD drive's, they are jumpered somewhat strange compared to others:
    No jumper = Stand-Alone no other drive attached to the cable.
    Jumper master = if you have a slave drive attached
    Jumper slave = when it's slave to another drive
    Harddisk is doing weird things:
    Make sure you have connected the blue connector to the board, and don't let the other end of the cable unused, make sure there is a device connected to it.
    The middle connector can be left into the air without problems if not needed.
    IBM harddisks seem to fail a lot, try Drive-Fitness-Test on it, see if it has problems.
    Click here for DFT
    Other brand drives can have problems too, make sure they are ok, as harddisk failure can cause all sorts of problems.
    Allway's be sure your harddisk is in tip-top shape, if not, replace it and try another to verify.
    For more information read this: Click here.
    To know what harddisks your motherboard support, use this link.
    To enable harddisk over 137GB in Win2000 edit this registry key:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Atapi\Parameters]
    "EnableBigLba"=dword:00000001
    The KT4 raid boards only support 1 harddisk on IDE3, the rest must be SATA drive's!!
    Harddisk/power led not functioning - thanks to Tweetyoost
    If your HD led or power led not work try to switch(wrong + or - side) the connectors on the motherboard.
    leds will work only when + or - is correct
    Thanks Tweetyoost.  
    Floppy drive's  
    If your floppy drive doesn't work or the led stay's on all the time.
    Make sure the floppy is set correctly in the BIOS, as the BIOS doesn't autodetect a floppy drive.
    Check the cable, make sure the twist in the cable is at the floppy-drive side.
    If the light stay's on, flip the connector at the floppy-drive arround.
    Sometimes it happens that even after all this, they still don't work, try with another drive from another brand.
    Not able to enter the BIOS or lockup  
    When you try to enter the BIOS it won't go in there or
    lockup, but your system is running fine.
    This symtom can happen when your CPU-Cooler is giving spikes on the coolerwire.
    Try with another brand of cooler to test if it solves it.
    Keyboard and optical mouse lights stay on after power off[/U]
    Some motherboards have a jumper called JKBV1, this jumper is located (mostly) near the keyboard connector, put it in the other position.
    If your board doesn't have the jumper, try to find the following BIOS settings and turn them off:
    resume on KBC
    resume on PS/2
    resume by alarm
    USB ports not working[/U]
    Check in the BIOS if the ports are enabled.
    USB2.0 ports are supported in Win2000+SP3 and XP+SP1, just let the OS reinstall the ports and they should work.
    Thanks Stygge
    Replacing parts and the system won't boot after
    It's never a good idea to replace stuff like CPU and ram without taking the board out of the case.
    But if you still like to do so, please support the board, because if you don't you might bent the board a little and cause other components to make bad contact.
    Allways support the board when you replace stuff, no matter what!
    Also make sure your system can take the replacement, it could happen for example that your powersupply can't handle your changed videocard from GF2MX to GF4Ti4600.
    Test all the parts in another system
    Make sure that the new part is in good working order in the first place (in particular: videocard, CPU, memory): try it in another system, or have it demonstrated by the one you bought it from if possible.
    Testing might also give you a clue on what is actually wrong in your own system.
    Thanks HansH.
    Checking the powersupply
    Don't do this if you don't know what you are doing!
    Disconnect the powersupply.
    Orientate the 20pin Powerconnector with the clip up.
    Locate pin 4 and pin 8 top row, mostly green and black wire.
    Use a wire to short them (or better a 12V test lamp).
    Now connect the power and the fan inside the powersupply should start spinning.
    If it doesn't your powersupply maybe dead.
    Thanks HansH.
    KT4 users  
    Please read the Un-Official KT4 guide if you have CRC errors or strange crashes.
    These can be BIOS problems.
    In any case !!!Only flash if the system is stable!!!
    Set default-settings and FSB100 to make it stable first!!!
    Motherboards making a Siren-sound
    If your board is making the sound of a firetruck, BEEP-BOOP-BEEP-BOOP...
    Check the folowing:
    1. CPU too hot
    2. chassis intrusion was enabled in the BIOS
    3. PSU is below min/max allowable value
    Stutter in audio
    Remove your antivirus software.
    We have heard a few cases where the stuttering was created by badly behaving antivirus software.
    Disable cpu halt command if it's in the BIOS (Thanks Pascal16)
    Windows  
    Windows2000/XP won't run stable, try to disable APIC and install again....
    Not all drivers/devices like the APIC.
    Windows2000/XP won't install USB2.0, install the latest servicepak (SP3 Win2000 or SP1 WinXP).
    Let Windows rediscover the USB ports, they should work now.

    Dude thank-you for your wonder detailed knowldge, I have descovered that lets say xp 1700 in a ultra 2 can only handle at the most 143fsb mult at 12.
    Given the settings" irq's are a major",part of directing traffic and power? example:
    Sound blaster Live , uses two irq's most common at"Auto" is, irq 10, or 5, and Sound blaster 16 emulation usually takes irq 5,. I have found that the sound card in slot3 works great , but to do this I had to change the Bio's and assign slot 3 irq 7 . and make sure printer port has share irq enabled
    Problems that accure with bad traffic are like this. Start a dedicated server. minimize than start your game?":censored:  no sound what could be wrong"? Shoot another problem Connection problem?. The computer nerd is getting trouble over the ordeal. ANSWER! IRQ can fix the problem, Study the irq and make changes as you go. "what would it be like with no stop signs,,,that is the same as a irq. with the same knowldge this topic brings IRQ need to be clearly understood.
    I can honestly say my system is error free and running like a dream.
    xp 2500 barton 333
    creative sound 5.1gamers.
    512 mb kingston ram 400 mhz
    boadband either onboard.
    MSI 5700 128 mb ddr
    Setting are:
    163 fsb
    mult of 11
    ddr 333
    video memory clock down to 450mhz
    3d clock to 390mhz
    The delta is a smooth running board also I want to mention to the person with crackling sounds, change the irq like I did, that fix the problem and the power is totaly too good to be true.
