Neo2 Platinum - WinXP Pro sp2 won't restart, replaced Athlon64 with Athlon64-2

I did a cpu chip replacement of my Athlon xp 3200+ with an Athlon xp-2 3800. ($78 form NewEgg). My windows xp pro, sp2 found the chip so no new install. I used the AMD drivers for multichip and the WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU.exe to update my os.
Now, my pc won't do a restart. It closes widows but then stops without going to the bios post screen and restarting. I have to do a shutdown to off and then push my on button to get back to windows. A lot of application updates ask for restarts on installs or updates. I never had this problem with the single cpu.
Has anyone else had this occur? Is there a fix? My new cpu runs a bit hotter than the old. I get core temp. 42 C and AMD 64 temp. 41-48 C in SpeedFan. (case temp. 18 C) How does this compare with others with this board and cpu?

hi trjtrj,

Re: Installing WinXP Pro SP2 / Boot Camp - Drive Bay 2 - which partition?

I am stuck and I can't seem to find the answer through Google searches.
I have a Mac Pro and I am working on installing WinXP Pro SP2 on a second SATA drive. It is a 500gb drive by Western Digital and it happens to be the same size as the Mac OSX drive - 500gb.
Because they are alike in size I can't tell which is which in the installer. Here are my options:
476938mb Drive
H: Partition 1 (Unknown) - 476938 free
476938mb Drive
I: Partition 1 (Unknown) - 200mb free
C: Partion 2 (Unknown) - 476938 free
My guess is to install WinXP on the H: partition and I just want to confirm this as I don't really wish to wipe out my MacOS on the drive in Bay 1.
Can anyone confirm this? I wished this was addressed in the Boot Camp Installation Guide. They only address one drive that is partitioned, not two seperate drives. Also nothing listed shows up with the label BOOTCAMP.
Thanks in advance.

Pull your OS X drive.
XP and Vista 32-bit only give you 1.9GB of RAM.
If you don't need native access or 3D you might just want to later use it with Fusion, VirtualBox or Parallels.
Apple uses GPT (GUID) which creates those small 200MB and 128MB partitions you see that are essential.
For me, I would just format the drive as MBR, and FAT/MSDOS or if you have NTFS from MacFUSE or Paragon, format as NTFS (preferable), and pull OS X and then install.

Using WinXP Pro 64 Beta and WinXP PRO SP2?

I could not get Games (Half life, Counter Strike, Doom) to work using my beta system. Every time I launch a game the OS gives me the DEP error. I select "allow all". Still no go.
I installed the HD from my old Pentium Based PC(as slave)which is loaded with WinXP Pro SP2 and everything else in the world. I don't have the origional CD because it was loaned to me from my company(Which is why I loaded Beta to this AMD system in the first place). I work from home sometimes. (good excuse?).
I can see all of the files in the old drive using explorer. I tried launching the games from the explorer and got the same negative results.
How do I get the correct Via, AMD, MSI, etc drivers on my XP-32 bit HD so I can boot to it?
Is There a way to run both OS at same time. This chip is hypertheading, so theoretically it acts like two processors?
I now have 3 80G HD. One with WinXP ProSP2, One, 64-bit Beta, One on SATA drive with XP Home SP2 (unregistered)lost that key too--it was a disk that came with a Dell Laptop.

hi
you should really do a clean install for the OSes as the CPUs are differant and need differant drivers etc, most poeple who try to transfer HDDs have probs, until the re partition, format and install.
Many systems can co exist, the boot under XP 64 will find installations and form a boot screen to access them all. Your going to need a XP CD to reinstall I fear. but then you might be lucky, if you formatted 1 disk, loaded XP 64 bit edition and let it set the C:> drive with Boot files and drivers you might get away with it.

Adobe Pro XI deletes and/or replaces letters with blank spaces or an x

How do I fix the problem where Adobe Pro XI deletes and/or replaces letters with blank spaces or an x.
This is really annoying to have to go back to each thing I type into a document and re-choose the fonts to get them to be correct.
Thanks for your help!

Adobe is a company, not a program... do you mean ACROBAT Pro?
If yes, this is the Premiere Pro video editing forum, you need to go to http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat

WinXP Pro SP2 XE works, VS 2005 Developer tools won't

Visual Studio 2005 Oracle explorer sees nothing.
Took me 2 days to figure this out
Copy the tnsnames.ora file from:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN
To the new home directory created when you installed Oracle Developer Tools for VS 2005, probably something like :
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\Client_1\NETWORK\ADMIN
Now Oracle explorer will see the XE database when you add a connection.
If you want to access your database via HTTP and have your XE server installed on an XP Pro SP2:
By default, Windows XP Pro SP2 Firewall blocks external access to your database on port 8080.
You must enable HTTP access via Administration on your XE Server. You must also turn the Windows firewall off on the server machine or insert an exception for TCP port 8080 in the Firewall. Firewall settings are located at control panel, firewall, exceptions. Stop the firewall, insert the exception, then start the firewall up again.
Have fun. Learning is so rewarding.
Bruce

Well done.
I encourage you to post this in the XE forum as well. Gives credit where credit is due - in the forum that can hugely benefit from such info.

SB Live! WinXp Pro SP2 probl

I installed my old SB Li've! card in my new system (Athlon64 3500+, MSI K8n Neo2 Platinum). Windows recognized the card and installed its own drivers, I reboot and everything is working properly. I install the Li'veDRV-pack driver pack, which seems to go OK, I reboot, I hear part of the log on sound and then the sound cuts out. Then there is no sounds comming through the card. The creative diagnostics list everthing as a pass, and the speaker test work, but I get no sounds from windows or any applications.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall to no evail. I think this is an SP2 issue but there is no obvious error to go on.
Any ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Mike

Mdidonato,
Try this:
Go to Control Panel/Systems, then go to the advanced tab. On here there will be a button for performance Options, click on this. In here there should be a tab for Data Execution Prevention. Set this to "turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select". You will now want to add the CThelper program to the list in here, it is typically located in c:\windows\system32. Then reboot the system and see if you get sound.
The DEP error is caused by a feature on your processor called "Enhanced Virus Protection (AMD)" or "Enahanced Disable Bit (Intel)" or NX (No eXecute) Bit in non-trademark speak. This is a new way to prevent buffer overflow exploits from effecting your system, however it can have some drawbacks. Let's see if disabling this helps us fix the problem.

SATA 3GB/s Setting In WINXP Pro SP2 For K8N SLI/FI

I have been trying to resolve this issue for a while with no sucess. I have contacted numerous sources and no one can solve this so I hope you people can.
I have two SATA II 3GB/s HDDs installed on a MSI K8N SLI/FI w/ver. 1.8 BIOS. I cannot get these drives to run at 3GB/s. The drives are a WD2500KS w/02.01C03 firmware and a Seagate ST3250410AS - Barracuda 7000.10 w/3.AAA firmware. All jumpers are removed from each drive. I have tried diff. SATA cables. You name it, I tried it. This includes loading and not loading SATA driver via F6 at OS install time and using diff nVidia SATA drivers; 6.66, 6.99, etc.
The problem is that when I view the speed setting options for the nVidia SATA controller in WIN XP Pro SP2, I see all three options shown 1.5 GB, 3.0 GB, and PIO 4 with 1.5 GB set as default. I have tried to manually override to 3 GB but upon reboot, it goes back to 1.5 GB? The Seagate drive has NCQ enabled by default.
I looked at the SATA driver WIN XP registry entries for each drive and SataSpeedSupported is 3 and SataSpeedAllowed is 1? Also appears UDMA is being downgraded from 128 to 64? I have tried to override both these only again to have XP reset them back to their original values on reboot. It is as if XP will not allow any option above 1.5GB?
Finally, the drive speeds are great. I am getting avg. sustained speeds of 80 MB/s on the Seagate and around 60 MB/S on the WD per HD Tach. Also appears that the drives are running in ATA133 mode?
Is their a problem with XP SP2B recognizing newer SATA 3GB/s HDDs

As far as peaks and valleys on the HD Tach display, it's fairly smooth. Starts in the low 80s and goes to about 90 for the first 120GB or so and then gradually drops to around 50 at the end of the drive. When I was running with the default MS default PCI IDE drivers, I was getting a few large downward spikes.
Use BIOS defaults is set on by default. Setting it on or off makes no difference in setting or performance.
As far as BIOS setting to 1.5GB that's what I thought initially but on a EPOX nForce board I have that only supported 1.5GB, the 3GB option was never shown as an option. So it appears to me that the BIOS is indeed passing the 3GB setting to XP. It looks to me like XP is downgrading these drives to 1.5GB and for the life of me. I can't figure out why. What I did as a prior experiment was to set the SataSpeedActive to 2 and bumbed up the UDMASupported registry settings to the max. 127. That resulted in the 3GB option being shown as the default. Ran a couple of benchmarks at that setting but results were the same as 1.5GB except that the max. speed bar on the nVidia SATA controller showed 300MB. When I rebooted as I stated previously, the settings went back to 1.5GB in the SATA controller display.
What I am wondering is if there was an earlier ver. of the m/b that only supported 1.5GB? I bought this board a couple of months ago from the MSI online store and it was an open box sale. What is strange is the four SATA board connectors are orange and every pic. I have seem of this m/b on the web shows purple connectors? MSI swears the board I have supports 3GB SATA?
On other point. Everest shows the SATA port transfer speed at 300MB in both it's Windows and ATA device displays?
Also, when I look at the driver properties, it is shown as a PCI device. Is that right? If somehow these drives were running off the PCI bus instead of the CK08-04 chip, that would explain the speed limit factor.

Viewing Threads In WinXP Pro SP2

Hi all,
I installed Oracle 9iR2 (9.2.0.1.0) WinXP Professional SP2 and tried to use Administrative Assistant to view the background processes/threads. It seems that either there is a bug somewhere or I missed some steps. The dialog box always displayed nothing - no thread.
Here is what I've done. In Admin Assistant, I right clicked Computers->database->instance_name. I first used 'connect database'. A list of users and roles then displayed. I then chose 'Process Information' under the same menu. But the dialog box was empty. I've double verified that my database was started (i could select table in sqlplus).
Why there was no thread displayed? Did i miss some steps?
Thx for any input.

Alternate solution to your problem.
You can make use of v$bgprocess and v$process dynamic views.
Use following query
select a.name,b.spid from v$bgprocess a,v$process b where a.paddr=b.addr;
Hope so this will solve your req.

6210 & 6310i on PCSync 4.81 WinXP Pro SP2

Hey folks.
I've recently gotten a 6310i to the 6210 I had, now I tried using the Content Copier from 4.81 to get my contacts etc from the 6210 to the 6310i.
Weirdest behaviour ever. My connection type is Infrared. I start IR on the 6210, set it next to my Acer NB and *pop* there's a connection. I can even use Content Copier to backup my phone. (Even thought 4.81 doesn't support XP SP2)
Now I switch off my 6210 and start up my 6310i, fire up infrared on the phone, put it next to the Notebook and... Nothing. I restart my machine, set the 6310i on IR next to the Notebook, and the Nokia Connection Manager needs a while, then shows a 6310i available.
However, Content Copier finds no usable phone.
2 Questions:
1: How do I get Content Copier to recognize the 6310i and copy the backuped data onto it.
And 2: to which version of the PCSuite can I upgrade to properly run the software on XP SP2 and still get the fancy functions working on my phones?
Thanks for any help, Kai

Depends on what you consider the fancy functions ? It is really more about the fact your phone 6210 and 6310i do not support too many of the newest PC Suite (6.81.13) functions. (like you cannot really put any music to your phones, but the old Pc Suite for example had a Phone editor with messaging support that I personnally liked more than the current one))
I understand you still have both phones ? Try udgrading to Pc Suite 5.8.
You find it from www.nokia.com/pcsuite, if you select say 6230 and then windows 98se/Me version. I think it leads you to rather old 5.8, but it is certainly newer than 4.81 and I think it was the first version I used to use with my good old 6230 and XP

Windows XP Pro SP2 won't connect to Airport Express

Ok, here's the situation as detailed as I can make it.
My pc:
Windows XP Professional w/ ALL updates installed (through windows update)
A Linksys WMP54G wireless adapter (I think it's v1 or maybe v2...it's about 2 years old).
My airport express:
Set up for OPEN (for troubleshooting, no wireless security)
SSID: edwards
My powerbook g4 connects flawlessly to the airport, every time. I read a lot on these boards that WEP password issues get in the way. I went through all the iFelix page tutorials, to no avail!
My PC sees the network with 4 or 5 bars, but upon trying to connect it sits there with a "waiting for network" screen. This is frustrating because half a year ago, my pc never had any issues with any airport network of ours. It would connect without a fuss.
I'm baffled and none of the other threads (even the ones that seem to ask about this) have helped out.
I WILL say that one baffling behavior is that once, maybe every other blue moon (and by this I mean....INCREDIBLY rarely) it suddenly connects to the network. But if I restart, it is no longer connected. Or within a short amount of time it loses the connect.
I went to Staples and they suggested that I switch the PCI slot, in case it was screwed up. I did that, and it CONNECTED! For 2 minutes....and then never connected again...
My last resort is to assume that my adapter is fried somehow, and I just have to go out and buy a new one, but if anyone has any other guesses, it'd be appreciated.
Thanks!

Since your Powerbook connects flawlessly to the Airport Express, I too would assume you have a marginally defective wireless interface in your PC. See if you are allowed to buy a replacement wireless card, with the option to replace it if that fails to solve your problem.

Synch bombs WinXP Pro SP2 on two different iPods

OK, here's my issue and I haven't seen anyone report anything quite like it.
I have two different iPods: a 60GB and a very new 160 GB Classic.
Both "fail" synch test in iTunes but the test output is not helpful in explaining "why."
I have about 40 GB of mp3 and audiobook files in iTunes.
If I "restore" either machine and put them on autosynch they will gl through importing all 6,000+ items (as indicated by the iTunes progress window) and then, suddenly, you end up looking at a blank black screen (not the GUI) with flat cursor blinking at upper left...computer hung up stone cold dead.
If you power down the computer, the iPod will recognize it has been disconnected. Examining it (both) then gives you your various playlists, mostly without content, and a few (like 8 or 10) mp3s and audiobooks at max.
If I load the playlists manually, one-by-one, I can upload all the content and the iPods work OK (but still fail synch tests).
After uploading the bulk of the material, I can put them on autosynch and make minor changes such as adding a song or two and they will synch to completion. But neither will execute a complete upload without crashing on autosynch although placing the same amount of content manually works OK.
Anyone ever see this behavior?

Pull your OS X drive.
XP and Vista 32-bit only give you 1.9GB of RAM.
If you don't need native access or 3D you might just want to later use it with Fusion, VirtualBox or Parallels.

Officejet Pro 8600 won't connect to wireless with Wireless extender connected

I am trying to get an Officejet Pro 8600 to connect to a wireless network, but it will not connect when my wireless network extender is connected. Once I disconnect the extender, it connects fine. Here is the setup. I have a Netgear wireless cable gateway CG3000D with a Amped Wireless Dual Band Router (R20000G) connected to the Netgear via ethernet cable. The Amped router is setup as a wireless extender, the Netgear and Amped share the same SSID. All my other devices work just fine connecting, laptops, cell phones, and IPads. When the Officejet 8600 tries to connect with the Amped connected, it tells me invalid password. Once I disconnect the Amped, the Officejet connects just fine. Any ideas how to get the Officejet to connect to the wireless with the Amped extender connected? Thanks

Are you using the same passkey on the extended network? (It is best to)
If so I would try using different SSIDs. The printer will try to connect to the network with the better signal which might change depending on wireless interference. There is no way to force the printer to connect to one network over another if the SSIDs are the same.
One other possibility. Is the passkey the same for both 2.4 and 5ghz on the Amped Dual Band router? Most routers can be set up to have different passkeys for each band. The printer is a 2.5ghz device and will need that password the same on both the Amped and Netgear routers.
Please let me know your results. Extending networks is becomming more common. Understanding how to work with them will help everyone.

Sometimes it takes several posts back and forth to get to a solution - please be patient.

There may be a redirect issue if an adware software has been
installed by accident or by intent; usually if someone goes to a
web site where questionable downloads of software are free,
there may be (included, added to) the packet you get, adware
or perhaps even malware.
So, if this is the case, the symptoms you say are part of this
experience may be related to an adware or other badware
running in the background. A 'cleanmymac' or 'mackeeper'
can also mess up a Mac computer, & they are not advised.
Several posts to the ASC discussions are about these kinds
of things and many point back to a user going to some web
site and downloading something. A click can do it.
A way to help find some evidence of certain kinds of add-ons
(outside of looking into the Browser's add-ons and see about
deleting those that relate to odd behavior, or badware) such
as adware, one could get and use this free utility & get a
report of general system info, and then post it online to see
if someone can spot some of the characteristics adware or
other malware may have included in the system.
There is another way to get a more lengthy report than etrecheck
as Linc Davis has posted, that uses more detailed effort on the
part of the user, in order to get a larger fuller report.
This is the short and easy way to look for a few clues that may
be addressed through using advice in TheSafeMac guide.
•EtreCheck: (also click on read-more)
http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
The report from the above may be helpful along with info in the
site below. Note there are other guides in TheSafeMac, too.
•Adware Removal Guide:
http://www.thesafemac.com/arg/
Hopefully the issue with the browser can be resolved in one
of up to three/four different ways, depending on what it is.
PS: recent updates to some OS X versions, etc do not
include update to Snow Leopard; only later systems.

Mac Pro won't restart

We have a late 2008 Mac Pro that won't restart from the Apple menu, nor are we able to reset the PRAM with the keyboard. The computer will almost shut down, but hang right at the end, making the DVD drives click on and off.
We have tried the following to remedy the situation:
Run Disk Warrior, repair permissions, tried two other keyboards, start from a different system drive, start and restart from a new user account, disconnect each DVD burner separately, disconnect both DVD drives simultaneously, re-install (archive and install) the 10.5, install 10.5 on a fresh hard drive that has been zeroed out with Disk Utility.
We have removed and reseated all the RAM.
We have also unplugged the all cables and hard drives and removed the battery for 20 minutes to try to reset the PRAM.
We've used another Mac Pro and Target Disk Mode to run Disk Warrior on all the drives.
Other weirdness: the option key won't work on start-up.
The computer will shut down normally and start normally, but won't Restart from the Apple Menu.

Hi, I have the same problem.
Ever sonce day 1 when I first restarted the mac It did not work. The mac pro was delivered with 3 GB of ram. (2x512 and 2x1GB apple ceriefied).
So My question. Would it be able to restart when I pair the rams up?
I also purchased 4x2GB) OWC ram.
Curently the setup on the risers is:
A) 2x512MB | 2x2GB
B) 2x1GB | 2x2GB
(667MHz)
What would be the idael setup for it (lot of Final cut studio work)?
I would realy like to get this problem fixed since installing programs on mac is very annoying when they ask to restart the mac and give no option to shutdown manually.
I could not return it then because I needed it a few days after to start a documentery project (MP arrived 3 months late after the first fell down of a truck or somthing during shipping.
