NB200 running Windows XP - What's wrong with my USB ports?

I bought a new NB200 recently and have had a problem with my USB ports ever since.
Independently, both rhs ports operate fine with my Logitech wireless mouse - unless I attach it via a USB hub. When I use the second port to attach another device - in this case an external DVD-RW - the mouse simply freezes. Meantime, the DVD-RW itself is recognised by Device Manager, etc - ("Working fine - with plenty of available power output per port), but it nonetheless fails to work and Windows Explorer is unable to read any disc inserted in it.
Furthermore, the lhs USB port is pure decoration only; nothing I attach to it (even the mouse) will work, neither will the Sleep & Charge capability (at any of the 4 Modes).
I've uninstalled the USB controllers and ports using Device Manager which, after re-booting, continues to report that all's well, both with the devices I attach and the ports themselves, albeit i's still patently not!
I'm concerned that I'm still unable to create a recovery disc should the worst happen so can anyone help me resolve my conundrum, please?
Am I doing something wrong or, less likely to be the case, I'm sure, is there perhaps a fault with my machine??
Any advice would be helpful, please.
Regards
Bob

Thanks for the suggestion, Guys, but neither provided the solution. I'd already updated both BIOS and Chipset drivers to the latest available.
Incidentally, the OS is the version of XP that came already loaded - subsequently updated via Windows Update, of course.
Any further thoughts anyone??

Late 2008 aluminum MacBook running extremely slow to the point where I can't open or close applications/windows. What is wrong with it?

It was working just fine. I had just downloaded a 130 mb album. A few minutes after my MacBook basically stopped working. I could not open applications or close them. I decided to restart my computer and this did not help. I am able to turn my computer on and off but that is it.

Boot in Safe Mode so you can see how much free space there is on the startup disk.
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
If there's less than 15% available disk space, you need to delete files to free up space. You can do that in Safe Mode.
Then click Restart from your Apple menu .

I set the prefferance to show tabs and windows from last session but every time i power down my firefox or my Mac all my app tabs and windows disapear. what's wrong with my settings.

I set my preferences to '''show all tabs and windows from last session''' and un-checked the box for '''don't load tabs until selected''' but every time I turn off fire fox and power down my Mac all my app tabs disappear.

Make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.

HELP ! A FATAL BUG ! ! ! What`s wrong with the SATA port ? ? ?

My MacBook (MD103) got a serious bug here, PLEASE HELP ME !
I changed my main drive to a Crucial 256GB SSD and memory to Micron 16GB, and I also removed the optical drive. The optical drive has been replaced by the original Toshiba HDD. Then, the question has came out! The OS hourly report Errors and restart. Finally, the HDD icon will disappear from Finder and the drive will be changed into a read-only disk (Under the Windows OS installed by BOOTCAMP). Then, I have to format the drive.
BUT the question still happen AGAIN AND AGAIN！ Though, I changed the Toshiba Drive by a WesternDigital one (Model. LPVT 500G), which is the most energy-efficient notebook HDD, BUT the question take place AGAIN when I listening an iTunes music ! ! ! (The music tone was reapted again and adain, and the OSX was shut down in a sudden, without any operation)
I searched some information and did some attempt. The OS can work well when I change the second drive by a old 250GB HDD, but I really can`t use such a slow and small drive for work, and I have to pray for my data every time when I press the power button. So, please help me! Improve the SATA port power management or someting else, THE BUG CAN BE SOLVED BY YOU, THE GREATEST ENGINEERS.
Please let me know the progress, THANK YOU ! ! !

Firstly, Thanks!
I've checked it and if the question didn`t occur, the disk can work well. The I/O speed can reach 113MB/s. And someone said it causes by SATA port power supply.

What's Wrong with My Computer?

I have a G5 desktop computer, I believe it's referred to as a "Power Mac." My mom purchased it some years ago, I think in late 2005 shortly after this particular model was on the market.
Info is:
Version 10.5.8
Processor 4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5
Memory 4.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM
Hard Drive 240 GB (127 GB unused/available)
My mother wasn't using this computer for many years, and my 13" Macbook was giving me trouble, so she gave this one to me. It's all been great (she maxed out the memory and hard drive space when she bought it, even though it is outdated and insignificant compared to current models), except for one little thing... Browsing the internet is usually fine when it's only one window, but not always. However, it is almost a guarantee that while trying to operate multiple windows and trying to play a video, Safari will crash. And not just once in awhile. I'm talking about on a daily basis. During regular offline computer use, like Photoshop or iTunes, the computer will sometimes grey over (as if someone put a fairly thick grey film over the entire screen), and tell me I have to restart the computer. So what's wrong with it? I presume it is a physical issue (failing memory, mother board, etc.), but what?

Your computer is not remotely "maxed out" with RAM.
You're describing a G5 Quad like mine (though mine was built in June of 2006), and maxed out means having 16 GB of RAM installed, like mine has.
The Frolick wrote:

That's called a Kernel Panic, and, yes, it is most often caused by hardware problems, such as bad RAM or mismatched RAM. I can't imagine how you get to 4.5 GB of RAM without exponentially increasing the risk of mismatched RAM.
RAM has to be installed in matched pairs, starting from the center slots and spreading outward: 4*3*2*1*1*2*3*4
On the other hand, my own personal experience has led me to conclude that Safari is a piece of cr@p. It causes problems just being active in the background, causing other applications to fail.
Check your RAM carefully, starting with just one pair of matched RAM sticks in the two center slots, then adding one pair at a time. Check your hard disk with Apple's Disk Utility.
The kernel panics can be caused by a damaged directory too, so if you own Disk Warrior, run it. If you don't own DiskWarrior, at least Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility and use Verify Disk/Repair Disk with it.
I'd also recommend downloading and installing Applejack and run it according to the instructions.
Good luck.

What is wrong with as3

this is not a question about 'how i do X'. is rather a 'discussion' (flame or whatever, but to defend or argue about aspects, not people) about 'what is wrong with as3' and what aspects whould be taken into consideration for updates. right now i am using as3, and since i paid for this license, i choose this tool over some alternatives and i am using it to do stuff for other people who pay me to do it, i think it can be helpful for all of us if some actions are started in the right direction. i have already posted about 'all people in adobe are dumbasses that do not know how to make a scripting tool and are messing up my work', but i was pissed at the time (i still am pissed) but i believe this is not the right aproach. instead, if this goes to the right people in adobe, we all may get something in the future, like better and easier todo apps and web presentations.
pre: not only about the as3 specification, but COMPLY with the specification that you set. for example, some time ago there were problems with matrix transforms. this was corrected later with a patch. but this means it is not even doing what is is supposed to do
1. scriptable masks and movement, sprites and child sprites: there is a sprite with a mask, the mask is a shape drawn via script, something like
somemask=new shape();
somemask.graphics.beginfill();
(...etc)
somesprite.mask=somemask;
just like that. now add some child sprites to 'somesprite', and make 'somesprite' move, scale and rotate. there you will have something like a kaleidoscope, but not what you expected to do with your script. as the child sprites move in the parent mask, you will see that the child sprites appear or dissapear kind of randomly, and if the child sprites are textfields, it may be that the text is rendered outside the mask, or partially rendered outside the mask (as in only part of the text), rendered with the wrongf rotation or in the wrong place. some child sprites are clipped correctly, some dissapear totally when only a part should dissapear (clipped) etc.
way around: have not tried it yet, but i have the impression that bitmaps have different criteria for clipping, so i am thinking of trying this: appli an empty filter (a filter with params so it does not have any effect on the sprite or in the textfield) so the sprite is rendered as bitmap before doing anything else with it. as i said, i have not done it yet, but it may be a way around this problem, to avoid all this inconsistency with clipping
1-b. inconsistency between hierarchy and coordinates, specially masks: you apply a mask to a sprite, yet the sprite has a set of coordinates (so 'x' in the sprite means an x relative to its container), yet the mask applied to the very same sprite, as another reference as reference for coordinates (like the stage)
2. painting via script: in any other languaje, in any other situation, something like:
beginFill(params);
(...stuff 1)
endFill();
beginFill(params);
(...stuff 2)
endFill();
(...etc)
means: render region of block 1, then render region of block 2 etc, and no matter what, it should be consistent, since there is noplace for ambiguity. if you read it, you may think what that means, even if you dont run it you may have an idea of the picture you want to draw, but not with as3. as3 somehow manages to screw something that simple, and mixes all the blocks, and somehow uses the boundaries of one block as boundaries for other block. is like all blocks are dumped into whatever, and then uses all lines defined into it as boundaries for a unique block. it changes all boundaries and generates inconsistency between what is shown and redraw regions of the resulting picture, like lines that go to the end of the screen and then dont go away in the next frames, even tough the beginfill endfill block should prevent it
3. event flow: i dont know what was the policy behind as3 event flow design. it is in no way similar or an extension to previous event flow, neither with any event flow in any other plattform. i dont know how most people start with as3; in my case, i unpacked, installed and when i tried to do something with what i already knew i could not, so i started reading the as3 docs, and since is like 800 pages long, i just read the basics and the rest i would 'wing it'. in the part of the event flow, there was something about bubbling and stuff, it was not clear at all and when i tried to do what is was said in the documentation (like preventing events to 'bubble', as is called in the documentation), i could not see any effect but i could see it was a mess. flash is not the only thing out there to work with pictures or to work with mouse events, but is the only one that deals with things like 'target' and 'currentTarget'. my first experience on needing this was when i was dealing with my own event handlers (so the only thing that had control over mouse was the stage, and i would admin everything via script). there were events generated everywhere, the stage got events that were not genrated directly over the stage, but got there not with stage coordinates but the coordinates relative to the sprite that generated the event. so if i hover the mopuse over the stage, and the stage has some things on it how does it work? i get multiple event calls, like it was hovering multiple times over the stage in a single frame, but in each call with different coordinates? and what if i set all child sprites as mouseenabled=false or compare like 'if (event.target != event.currenttarget)', what if i move the mouse over a child, does it prevent the move mouse event at all? or does it filter only the event call with only stage coordinates? in my case, every time i move over another clip (with mouseenabled = true), the stage gets it as 'mouse up', even tough there was never a mouse release, what the hell? do even the people at adobe know how to handle events with their own tool when they require it? why does an event 'bubble' when i have not specifically tell it to do it? mi thought is that this event flow was very poorly conceived, and tough the intention may have been that there were different cases and it shopuld cover all cases, they actually introduced new problems that were not present in traditional ways to handle it, and it is neither the easier way to handle things, and this way, a very simple problem turns into a very ugly thing because it must handle things that were not neccesary to handle, or were implicit in other situations.
4. legacy: since as3, all interaction is different, and if you want to do things in the new plattform, using the new features, what you already knew just goes to the garbage can. when a new tool arrives, it should be an extension to previous tools (which is a reason to update instead of just buying a new tool from a different vendor). if everything i had or knew just means nothing from now on, then i can not say 'i know flash script', and my previous knowledge gives me no advantage when aproaching the new version. as3 is a new aproach that requires doc reading and stuff, even if you knew something about previous as specifications or other oo languajes. if you decide to change things from now on, like the things mentioned in this post, instead of just throwing away everything the users alerady knew about the tool, do like in java releases, they mark some things as 'deprecated', they keep working as they should, give a warning, but also a message saying this feature is deprecated, we suggest you use this library instead.
5. lack of previous functionality: if you 'update' something, it meand all previos functionality is still there (probably improved, but not with bugs if it was working fine), plus something else. now it seems backwards, there are some things that could be done in previous versions but not in this one, like 'duplicatemovieclip'
6. inconsistency with scripting/programming paradigms: (ok, fancy work, but fits perfectly here): as3 proposed ways to handle things, but the people who designed it got 'too creative', and they did something that is not consistent neither with previous versions of as or with other languajes. the documentations is full of things like 'it looks like x languaje or languaje family, but instead of using XXX word, you must use YYY'. great, what is this? namespaces 'work like', but 'differently' for example from java, .net, .c. its got the idea that a namespace means a grouped functionality but there are rules about where should be placed the file (ok, java has this also, .net takes care of it automatically if all files are registered in the project), but what you got is a mess that 'if you know other languajes you got the general idea, but nonetheless, even if you knew this or previosu versions of as, you still have to read whatever we decided arbitrarily just to be different'. namespaces, event handling, vars definition which is not like previous scripting neither like fully typed languajes.. is just a mess.
7. lack of scripting and graphics integration: unlike flash and adobe tools that just got on the graphics side leaving all the scripting integratuion apart, most tools from other vendors integrate very well interacton with what is on the screen. the script editor: very poor. autocompletion? a drop down list that does not heklp at all, appears in the wrong places, and when you need it to go, it does not go (so if i want to move away from the uncalled drop down list, i have to click somewhere else, making developement slowewr instead of helping, so the drop down list does not capture all events when i dont want to). in other ides you double click somewhere and it will go to the part of code relevant to that event or whatever. for example microsoft tools, ok i am antimicrosoft, and one of the reasons was that when windows 95 got to market proposing itself as the ONLY pc os you could use if you wanted to keep useing the apps you already had, it was a lousy product full of flaws but you had to keep using it because you had no choice. what is so different from what is happening with flash just now? yet the ide of c# is awesome, works very well and seems reliable.
adobe people: not all user are designers that just make pretty pictures. if it is not intended for scripting then why is it there. and if there are corrections to be done, they should patch all versions, not only the last one. previous version users also paid for their versions.

Well, there is no point in arguing.
I personally believe AS3 does exactly what it promises to do within limits (read: reasonable limits) of ECMA type of language. And sometimes it doesn’t do what we expect it to for it cannot possibly emulate everyone’s thinking process. The task, I guess, is to learn to think in terms of AS3 – not to try to make AS3 think like us. No language covers all the grounds. And no, it is not Java - with no negative or positive connotation. It is what it is. Period. I just hope that AS5 will be more Java like.
You are right about the fact that it is not necessary to know all the aspects of language in order to perform the majority of tasks. But it is paramount to have a clear idea about such fundamental concepts as display list model and events. For instance, depth swap has no meaning in terms of AS3 because display list object stacking is controlled automatically and there is no need for all these jumping through hoops one has to perform in order to control depth in AS2. There no more gaps in depths and one always know where to find things.
Similarly, there is no point in having duplicateMovieClip method. More conventional OOP ways of object instantiation accomplishes just that and much more. Just because OOP object instantiation needs to be learned doesn’t mean past hacks have place in modern times. duplicateMovieClip is a horse carriage standing next to SUV. What one should choose to travel?
Events are implemented to the tee in the context of ECMA specifications. I consider Events model as very solid, it works great (exactly as expected) and never failed me. True, it takes time to get used to it. But what doesn’t?
By the way, speaking about events, contrary to believe in Adobe’s inconsideration to their following. Events are implemented with weakly reference set to false although it would be better to have it set to true. I think this is because there are smart and considerate people out there who knew how difficult it would be for programming novices to deal with lost listeners.
I think AS3 is million times better than AS2. And one of the reasons it came out this way is that Adobe made a very brave and wise decision to break totally loose from AS2’s inherent crap. They have created a totally new and very solid language. If they had tried to make it backward compatible – it would be a huge screw up, similar to how our friends at Microsoft are prostituting VB and VBA – extremely irritating approach IMHO.
Also, Flash legacy issues shouldn’t be overlooked. Flash did not start as a platform for programmers. Entire timeline concept in many ways is not compatible with the best OOP practices and advancements. I think for anyone who is used to writing classes the very fact of coding on timeline sounds awkward. It feels like a hack (and AS2 IS a pile of hacks) – the same things can be nicely packaged into classes and scale indefinitely. As such I wouldn’t expect Adobe to waste time on hacking timeline concept issues by making smarter editor. They have made a new one – FlexBuilder – instead. Serious programmers realize very soon that Flash IDE is not for developing industrial strength applications anyway. So, why bother with channeling great minds into polishing path to the dead end?
I would like to state that all this is coming form a person who knew Flash when there was no AS at all. And I applaud every new generation of this wonderful tool.
I believe Adobe does a great job making transition from timeline paradigm to total OOP venue as smooth as possible. And no, they don’t leave their devoted followers behind contrary to many claims. They are working on making developing Flash applications as easy as possible for people of all walks. Welcome Catalyst!
Of course there is not enough information about AS3 capabilities and features. But, on the other hand, I don’t know any area of human kind activities that does.

I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

What is wrong with my Macbook?

I dropped my macbook (2007 model) and the screen is so cracked that I can not see anything. I got a mini-dvi - vga cord and plugged it into a monitor, but when i turn it on, it just goes to the mac background, and will not show the login screen. What is wrong with it?

it's putting the monitor as second display, so the login screen (i'm guessing) is only displaying on the first—main—screen, the the one that is cracked.
restart the macbook and don't touch anything. when the background appears on the secondary monitor, you know the login screen must be up on the first monitor. so type in your username, hit TAB once, then your password.
you should be able to log in now. then follow these instructions:
(bare in mind i'm running 10.6.8)
1) press ALT+F2 to open up displays in system preferences.
2) you should be able to see a dialog open up in the secondary monitor
3) if this has a "Gather Windows" button, press it
4) if step 3) works, you should be able to switch around the main displays, or turn on mirror mode, or whatever

[solved] What's wrong with xbindkeys ?

Hello,
After an update last month, xbindkeys doesn't work anymore. I first thought it was comming from the package update from version 1.8.5-4 to 1.8.6-1. But the downgrading changes nothing.
So, I decided to reduce my ~/.xbindkeysrc to a very simple key binding:
"xdotool key o"
b
Then, I have tested the command with:
$ sleep 3 && xdotool key o
and it works fine, the letter 'o' is output as expected. So, the problem is from xbindkeys. Here is what I get:
$ xbindkeys -v
displayName = :0
rc file = /home/user/.xbindkeysrc
rc guile file = /home/user/.xbindkeysrc.scm
getting rc guile file /home/user/.xbindkeysrc.scm.
WARNING : /home/user/.xbindkeysrc.scm not found or reading not allowed.
1 keys in /home/user/.xbindkeysrc
min_keycode=8 max_keycode=255 (ie: know keycodes)
"xdotool key o"
b
starting loop...
# when I press the key "b"
Key press !
e.xkey.keycode=24
e.xkey.state=16
"xdotool key o"
b

Start program with fork+exec call
Key press !

e.xkey.state=16
Key release !
e.xkey.keycode=27
e.xkey.state=16
Key release !
e.xkey.keycode=24
e.xkey.state=16
So, the key "b" is well detected and the command seems to be executed. In order to check that, I have changed the ~/.xbindkeysrc to:
"env > /tmp/xbtest.log"
b
I start again:
$ xbindkeys -v
displayName = :0
rc file = /home/user/.xbindkeysrc
rc guile file = /home/user/.xbindkeysrc.scm
getting rc guile file /home/user/.xbindkeysrc.scm.
WARNING : /home/user/.xbindkeysrc.scm not found or reading not allowed.
1 keys in /home/user/.xbindkeysrc

b

Key release !
e.xkey.keycode=24
e.xkey.state=16
We can see that this time the output is shorted because the key "o" is not detected. So, now:

The command is perfectly run. So, what's wrong ? Why
"xdotool key o"
b
does not work ? It does not work like before.
I have also tried xvkbd, even with full path (/usr/bin/xdotool, /usr/bin/xvkbd), nothing works.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks.

It works :-) Thank you ^^
But it was maybe a too simple case. This one does not work:
"xdotool getwindowfocus key ctrl+o"
k
After a lot of testing, xbindkeys works fine, xdotool and xvkbd work fine too. I have tried that
"xdotool getwindowfocus key --clearmodifiers ctrl+o"
k
without success.
But since
"sleep 2 && xdotool getwindowfocus key --clearmodifiers ctrl+o"
works fine in the console, I have tried:
"sleep 2 && xdotool getwindowfocus key --clearmodifiers ctrl+o"
k
and it worked fine. The difference is, when xdotool is running, thanks to sleep, I have no keys pressed.
To be clear, the problem seems to come from the keys pressed (hardware) during xdotool sends key (software). But since all software haven't changed (xbindkeys, xdotool, xvkbd), and since kde has been updated to 5.6 during the pacman update, I suspect it comes from KDE.
So, I have tested under a software under GTK (Firefox, inside KDE, LibreOffice, Inkscape), and miracle, everything works fine.
I have then tested other KDE software, like KColourPaint, KDevelop, Konqueror, and it worked fine. So, it's a bug related to Kate and KWrite (KatePart?), I will just drop these software until they are fixed, btw, I have already seen another bug in Kate, KDE 5.6 has broken a lot of things :-(

RE: what is wrong with ui4?

Thanks all for the responses to my question. Using float constants substituted for integer constants in TOOL code works great (no hex constants though - oh well, a little conversion never killed anyone), and the math operations that I am using on ui4s work as I would expect.

Subject: RE: what is wrong with ui4?
Ui4 works fine. The bug is in the PARSER/TOOL Compiler.
You cannot use a CONSTANT integer value that is greater than MAXINT.
If you use FLOAT constants or do arithmetic, you can see that UI4 works.
The following code:
uu : ui4 = 2147483655.0;
task.lgr.puthexline(uu);
uu = 0xffffffff;
task.lgr.puthexline(uu);
produces the following output:
0x80000007
0x7FFFFFFF
Note that putline prints unsigned as signed,
and using it would give the following output:
-2147483641
2147483647

the end designates that the value is an unsigned constant.
I'm not sure if this will fix your Forte problem, but it is needed in C
and C++.

Subject: what is wrong with ui4?
Hello-
I have a potentially dumb question for all of you. I have filtered a
bug in my program down to what is basically a one line program, which
assigns to a ui4 the maximum integer constant a ui4 can hold,
type-casted to a ui4. That is,
n : ui4;
n = (ui4)(0xFFFFFFFF);
Then I output n to a window. But the window's output shows that n
holds the maximum value for a signed 4-byte integer constant!
(0x7FFFFFFF or 2147483647)
I have tried a number of other experiments that have confirmed to me
that a ui4 is incapable of holding any integer value above 0x7FFFFFFF,
and that a ui4 in fact behaves exactly like a signed integer, where
the internal byte patterns 0x80000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF correspond to the
integer ranges -2147483648 to -1.
Am I missing something completely obvious here?
I'm running Forte 3.0.E.0 on a Pentium Pro running Windows NT.
Thanks for your time.

What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed?

When running Second Life or Worlds of Warcraft or just quick browing... anything graphically intensive on the MacBook Pro, the machine slows to a crawl, eventually completely freezes up. The cursor doesn't move, pressing the Caps Lock key does not change the Caps Lock light and the machine is no longer reachable from any other machine on the network. The only means available to recover is to hold the power button down until the Mac powers off and then restart it. This doesn't happen when running XP through boot camp and windows client versions of these programs. What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed? Thanks.

I am not sure that this relevant to the discussion. But I am searching for anyone else who is seeing random freezes on 10.4. I usually don't see anything in the log after I have to do a hard reboot of the box. However, I have noticed some I/O messages when I have been able to console into an affected device, but have not captured to this point. Also, when I am able to console, the box will accept the login, but times out when trying to authenticate the password.
I am also seeing a server freeze on my G4s. I am able to reproduce the problem with a clean install from the 10.4 disk. The issue is reproducible with tcpdump, dumpcap as well as tshark. I have also tried compiling the tools with different versions of libpcap. I am able to reproduce this problem every time with a packet generator sending small packets.
It seems that the small packets aggravate the underlying cause. As the more small packets are sent the quicker I am able to reproduce the problem. With a mix of packet sizes, as seen in most networks, this issue is hard to reproduce. We have been using the G4 since 2003 as a packet analysis tool and it has been very stable up until we attempted to do analysis of a VOIP network with 10.4. The small RTP packets in conjunction with 10.4 seem to be the culprit.
So far I am not able to reproduce the freeze on a 10.2 or 10.3 image. This is not isolated to bad hardware, as I have been able to reproduce on 4 different Xserves in my labs with similar configurations.
I currently have a G4 set up in my lab and would be able to supply any info that may be needed to track down this issue. I have been thrust into administration on this box recently so I am not very familiar with debugging procedures on the Xserve or MacOS. However, I have the hardware and the test equipment that many in a production setting may not have at their disposal. So if anyone, with extensive knowledge of the Xserve or MacOS, is willing to work with me to track down this issue I am willing to do the leg work in the lab. I would appreciate any assistance that is available.

What's wrong with my Final Cut Pro 7.03?

What's wrong with my Final Cut Pro 7.03?
I have just started up a new project.
Every time I try to ad a clip in top of each other a "general error" shows up. The sequence viewer turned red and it displays that I have to close and reopen the window to restore.
The only "new thing" I do - is the use/brand of camera.
Now I use the canon D5 mark 3 for my project (before D5 mark 2)
What's wrong??? Do I need to update my Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 And how do I do this???
Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Did you use Log & Import? Or did you at least convert the D5 files before importing? FCP doesn't work with those files natively.
