Parameter Prompting and Oracle Driver Issues

I am in the process of testing several reports for use in Glassfish/JSP viewer. I am in need of clarification of:
1. Parameters are seen - but it does not prompt the user for the parameters on initial JSP page load. Is this normal behavior or no? If not, could you indicate what the causes are
2. I have not seen a specific JAR for the CRDB_ORACLE driver - is there one available or will ojdbc14.jar suffice? If there is a specific Crystal Oracle Jar, could someone provide the URL for file download?
3. One of the parameters we are using, is derived from a formula/query to the underlying database. As a result - the JSP viewer does not display the available predefined list of options for use with that parameter. Is this normal and if not what would be the cause/workaround for it.
Thanks for any prompt replies (in full or in part)!

Upgrade to 8.1 and oracle driver issues

IDM 8.1 states it cannot use the ojdbc14.jar file assigned to Oracle 10g because it cannot read all columns off of the 10g database. So it was suggested to use ojdbc5.jar. Well from what I understand ojdbc5.jar is assigned to Oracle 11g but can be used with Oracle 10g. So I put the ojdbc5.jar file in our WEB-INF/lib directory and get this following error " no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path" when I try to connect my application to the database. I believe this is because I have the Oracle 10g client installed on my machine and not the Oracle 11g client. Do you have any ideas on how I can get around this using the Oracle 10g client?

So I put the ojdbc5.jar file in our WEB-INF/lib directory and get this following error " no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path" when I try to connect my application to the database.Oh ok, the error message mentions "ocijdbc11" and that's the problem. You're setup to use the oci driver when you want to use the jdbc driver. You should be able to change that with the "lh setRepo" command, though I don't know the syntax offhand. I think you can also fix it by running "setup" and choosing the right driver.
The ojdbc5 driver works fine with Oracle 10.

CF9 and Oracle ROWID issue

Hi All,
I have an issue when regarding cfquery and ROWID.
When I insert a value into Oracle database, with CF8, I receive the ROWID in result variable but not in CF9.
I don't use the Oracle Driver provide by CF due to a special connectivity URL.
I use the OJDBC14.jar file provided by Oracle.
Please find below some configuration informations and sample.
Thanks in advance

To be honest there are so many intricacies like this with various drivers that I never rely on it. I tend to do one select to get the ID, then include that in the insert. Guaranteed to work that way.

CMSDK 90422 and Oracle Drive

Has anyone had success in getting this to work? I installed Oracle drive on a workstation I have but am unable to connect to the server. I get an error saying the file path is incorrect, yet I can access the server with that same path through Windows Explorer. My CMSDK runs on Linux, is that a problem?

We've got Oracle Drive to work fine with CM SDK, although the advanced features you would get with Collaboration Suite aren't available.
What URL are you trying to connect to?

Linkserver to oracle 10g: using oracle oledb provider.
it works and then it sends TNS error message. For which we have already fixed the tnsname files for oracle and after reboot it works even once or twice and then it fails again of TNS could not be resolved error...
OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' reported an error.

Is there something to do with windows 2003 or corrupted oledb driver or windows service packs.
Please advice

Hi amy2ki
I had the same problem and solved it.
It seems that this issue is related to security settings on ORACLE_HOME folder.
You must force Read&Execute rights on ORACLE_HOME folder for "Authenticated Users" and propagate them below.
Check this note on :
http://www.google.com/notebook/public/01335025009615452606/BDRwbSwoQnIbT6rQh
Shortly, the steps are:
Oracle Client software requires that you give the Authenticated User
privilege to the Oracle Home by following these steps:
1. Log on to Windows as a user with Administrator privileges.
2. Launch Windows Explorer from the Start Menu and and navigate to the
ORACLE_HOME folder. This is typically...
- the "Ora92" folder under the "Oracle" folder
(i.e. D:\Oracle\Ora92) in Oracle9iR2
or
- the "Client_1" folder under the "Oracle\product\10.1.0" folder
(i.e. D:\Oracle\product\10.1.0\Client_1) in Oracle10gR1
or
- the "Db_1" folder under the "Oracle\product\10.1.0" folder
(i.e. D:\Oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1) in Oracle10gR1
3. Right-click on the ORACLE_HOME folder and choose the "Properties" option
from the drop down list. A "Properties" window should appear.
4. Click on the "Security" tab of the "Properties" window.
NOTE: If you are running Windows XP and do not have a "Security" tab
please do the following:
(a) Open "Folder Options" in your Control Panel.
(b) Choose the "View" tab.
(c) Under "Advanced Settings" uncheck the option "Use simple file
sharing (Recommended)".
The "Security" tab should now be available.
5. Click on "Authenticated Users" item in the "Name" list (on Windows XP
the "Name" list is called "Group or user names").
6. Uncheck the "Read and Execute" box in the "Permissions" list under the
"Allow" column (on Windows XP the "Permissions" list is called
"Permissions for Authenticated Users").
7. Re-check the "Read and Execute" box under the "Allow" column (this is
the box you just unchecked).
8. Click the "Advanced" button and in the "Permission Entries" list make
sure you see the "Authenticated Users" listed there with:
Permission = Read & Execute
Apply To = This folder, subfolders and files
If this is NOT the case, edit that line and make sure the "Apply onto"
drop-down box is set to "This folder, subfolders and files". This
should already be set properly but it is important that you verify this.
9. Click the "Ok" button until you close out all of the security properties
windows. The cursor may present the hour glass for a few seconds as it
applies the permissions you just changed to all subfolders and files.
10. You must REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER to assure that these changes have taken
effect. Failure to do this can prevent this procedure from working!
11. Re-execute the application and it should now work.
NOTE: If the problem is still present after following steps 1-11 and
rebooting your computer in step 10 you should perform the following
two additional permissions settings at step 8 as described below.
This may be necessary due to permissions that have been configured
beyond the standard permissions setup when the OS was originally
installed:
12. If the problem is still present, go back through these same 11 steps
above, but when performing step 8 additionally check both boxes entitled
"Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child
objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here."
AND
"Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown
here that apply to child objects"
AND be sure to reboot in step 10.
Hope it helps, it worked perfectly for me.

Windows 8 64-bit install on 970a-g46 Mainboard AHCI and NVIDIA DRIVER issues

My Box:
MSI 970A-G46
BIOS 1.9 (AUG 2012) (Tried 1.11 but the nightmare started then)
AMD FX-6100 (STOCK SPEED AND SETTINGS) WITH OEM HSF
16GB PATRIOT VIPER 3 (1866) RUNNING @ (1600)
USED an EVGA 9800GT 1ST AND UPGRADED TO NVIDIA REFERENCE CARD GTX 550 Ti (1GB) WITH SAME ISSUES
90gb MonsterDigital Daytona SATA III SSD DRIVE (OS and minimal programs)
Antec HE 550
I am at a point of pulling my hair out. I decided to upgrade my system to enhance Diablo III game play. I got a combo deal on the mainboard and cpu, and thought the speed of the game caching on a SSD would also help. The first attempt which took a little struggle was Vista 64-bit. Eventually, I was able to get the OS to work with me, and it was smooth. Since M$ decided to offer the Windows 8 Pro upgrade for only $39.99, I thought, what do I had to lose. Well….lots of time. Now, I am not a newbie, though SSD drives haven’t been more than an interesting thought. So yes, I read many guides on everything from Trim enabled Win 7 and 8, and many other do’s and don’ts. What is driving me to the Netherlands of hell, is the installation and how buggy it has been. It boils down to drivers for the IDE/SATA/AHCI CONTROLLER. First, even thought it “sees” the SSD on installation drive selection, after pulling the USB installation drive, the system forgets it, and there is a “problem with the boot sector”. If you load the driver from the AMD site, it lets the install occur “fine”, but there is an issue with that driver which causes an irq conflict which leads to D3 audio issues and freeze ups. I did finally get things in order (not sure which driver I choose for that), and things were smooth, except I tried to install the GTX 550 ti and that led to a corrupt file error, which the system runs a check disk and cycles the “preparing to repair” and “diagnosing PC” a few times and never allows me to enter SAFE MODE (shift+f8), to disable the NVIDIA driver that is buggy, and doesn’t allow for the NVIDIA Control Panel to install without losing video, and starts the repair cycles again… Leading to ANOTHER RE-INSTALL...
My question, for the Windows 8 Pro installation on the 970a-G46 mainboard and then after install is complete, which driver is the correct choice for the AHCI/SATA Controller? All I find is Win7 64-bit AHCI inf’s, and SB7XX 64-bit inf’s (no SB950 INF). The Driver disk which came with the mainboard is very dated pre Win 8 stuff, ASMEDIA X106 which are not recognized by the OS as written for Win 8. AMD’s latest drivers are the ones causing the IRQ type lags and corruption.
What version, build and type of Windows 8 installations have you used on this mainboard, and what drivers allowed you install it without the above conflicts? Your input may decrease my insanity… So, thank you in advance…

Quote from: m0r9h3u5 on 28-January-13, 12:11:16
I understand what you are telling me, only the generic drivers deliver subpar results. What is the point of running those drivers instead of windows 8 certified drivers written for said devices. My last install is functioning better, but still windows update fails every attempt, the apps i install (ie. weather bug) on the start screen wont load... to me windows 8 is a big fail....but that is just my view...
OK...I also own the 970a G46, and my upgrade experience from Win7 x64 AHCI to Win8 x64 AHCI was flawless the first time. No problems at all. You are running an AMD chipset board with a nVidia gpu, which means that your chipset drivers are not automatically updated with every gpu driver update you do--this would happen automatically if you owned an AMD gpu because AMD includes them in its gpu driver install packages. But--all you have to do to get the proper drivers for your motherboard is go here and download them. You only need the *chipset drivers* from this page--you do not need the RAID drivers, of course. That's it. It's no big deal, and back in the days when nVidia was making motherboard chipsets you had to separately download both the motherboard chipset drivers from nVidia and the AMD gpu drivers from AMD if you did not also own a nVidia gpu.
From your description of your problems it sounds like your installation of Win8 is hosed and you need to format C:\ and clean install from scratch, anyway, so...
A note about AHCI--the *ideal* way to install the AHCI drivers is prior to installing your OS for the first time, you enter the UEFI and set "AHCI" in the appropriate place, instead of IDE, and *then* you reboot from DVD and install your OS which will automatically install the correct AHCI driver from Windows. After the driver installation is complete you should then install the updated 970a drivers from AMD as linked above.
However, it is actually very easy to activate and install AHCI *after* you have installed Windows in normal IDE mode:
To enable AHCI in existing Windows 8 IDE Installation's
Caution: Do NOT enable AHCI in UEFI prior to making the following changes in your Registry! If you had AHCI enabled alreadyin UEFI, disable it first and restart your computer!
Use WinKey + R and type Regedit in the command line and hit the Enter key, this will open the Registration Editor.
Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/services/iaStorV
right click on Start, select Modify and set Data Value to 0
Close Registration Editor and restart computer.
While booting, open the UEFI Page and set the SATA Mode to AHCI from IDE
Save UEFI settings and restart.
Windows will now install the AHCI drivers automatically and they should work without issues.
In order to avoid installation problems just like you have been experiencing, here is what I would do in your shoes:
1) Set UEFI for normal IDE drive mode
2) Reboot into IDE mode and install your OS
3) After you have finished with the installation, you should be having no troubles in IDE mode. Then go to the instructions above on how to properly enable AHCI *after* you have installed Windows 8 in normal IDE mode.
4) After everything is coming up roses in AHCI mode and you are having no problems, then install the AMD chipset drivers as linked above and you are golden.
Those 4 steps worked perfectly for me the first time (the first time I got them right, that is...).
There's nothing wrong with Win8--this is strictly operator error caused by insufficient research into what AHCI is and how to properly enable it. The Internet has some bad info on Win8 registry settings for AHCI because of the developer preview and the consumer preview versions of Win8 that Microsoft released to the public prior to the final shipping build--many "instructions" for Win8 are therefore not valid for the shipping version of Win8. At first I made some of the same goofs that you did, but now you get to benefit from my hard-won experience... Good luck! Should work like a charm. And, registry AHCI is done differently in Win8 than it is done in Win7 or Vista. Also, the registry settings relative to AHCI in Windows 8 for AMD are different from the registry values that must be changed for an Intel controller.
Parenthetically, My FX-6300 (Vishera) will be here in a couple of days! Yeah!

No Office 2010 64 bit support and printer driver issues

I have been using Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 for about 2.5 years. Whenever I upgrade my laptop I usually upgrade most of the software I use including Adobe Acrobat Pro. This time I didn't see a need so I installed Acrobat Pro 8 again.
When I did, it no longer had integration with my upgraded Microsoft Office 2010. It also had an issue that every time I printed something to the Adobe PDF printer driver, the dialog box to select a filename would show up behind the application I was using (such as Firefox). Then when the PDF was generated and opened for preview, it also ended up behind the application I was printing from.
I chalked these issues up to using a version of Acrobat that came out before Windows 7 and before Office 2010. So I went out and reluctantly purchased the upgrade. All the marketing material said it was compatible with both.
Well, absolutely nothing has changed. It still doesn't work with Office 2010 because I'm using Office 2010 64bit, and still opens the dialogs behind the application I'm printing from. Almost every laptop comes with Windows 7 64bit and using Office 2010 64bit should not be something I can't do just to get support from an Adobe product.
If there is any workaround for the Adobe dialogs coming up behind the application I'm trying to print from, I'd love to hear it. I would have happily asked Adobe for a solution but I guess they don't offer any type of email support, chat support, or phone support unless you pay through the nose. Or maybe I just didn't see any way after clicking through all the screens under Help on their website.

For 7.0 and 7.5 it will not be supported. It will be supported for BPC 10.

Discoverer Viewer Issue - IE7 - Parameter Popup Fails (Oracle JS issue?)

OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
I have created a report that has several parameters, each of which can be entered directly or by clicking a button to bring up a parameter selection popup. Each parameter popup displays an associated LOV.
This works great in Discoverer Plus. It also works well in the HTML-based Discoverer Viewer using IE6. It does not, however, work in IE7.
What happens:
When using IE7 with Discoverer Viewer, I access a report with parameters and then click on the "flashlight" icon to the right of a parameter field to bring up the parameter popup. IE7 then:
- Changes the cursor to an hourglass
- Displays the following in the status bar: "Done, but with errors on page."
- Stops doing anything else, leaving the cursor as an hourglass
- Popup never shows up
I assume that the cursor is stuck as an hourglass since the flashlight button must have a JavaScript "onClick" handler that executes a function to change the cursor prior to opening the new child window with the parameter LOV...and the cursor gets stuck when the JavaScript routine encounters an error. The cursor isn't my issue, but it is also annoying since my users will assume that the browser is doing something...and it is not.
Regardless, if you click the status bar message, it displays the following JavaScript error:
Line: 3609
Char: 1
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Code: 0
Oddly enough, if you then ignore the situation and click the "Go" button to run the report (using the cursor stuck as an hourglass), the report runs and as soon as it completes, the popup for the parameter THEN appears.
As I said, the issue is with IE7 only. It works fine in IE6...and I don't have the popup blocker enabled in IE7.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Steve

Hi
Yes' you're right, the compatibility is for IE8 to IE7 and it does work very well - which I know is a red herring.
I'll keep looking through my notes.
From all of my notes, IE7 is supposed to work just fine with 10.1.2.3 (your version). I've been using IE7 for quote some time and I've never seen a JS error coming up in Viewer - Plus yes and many times.
Some things I would try at this stage are:
1. Delete your Java cache
2. Make sure no popups are blocked
3. Make sure cookies are enabled
4. Try Mozilla and see if you get the same issue - will indicate if a machine issue or browser issue
Best wishes

R7850 Power Edition 2GD5/OC and Afterburner + Driver Issues/Concerns?

I just got my R7850 Power Edition 2GD5/OC today, and did a fresh install of Windows 7 but just had a few concerns and issues so far:
1. When using the latest beta (12.11) from AMD, Nexuiz seems to cause the system to BSOD. Kombustor, BF3, and other games didn't have any issues, so I just found this strange. However, these are beta drivers for a reason I guess. In any case, 12.10 seems to work fine with Nexuiz, so it definitely seems driver-related...
2. The highest Core Clock limit in Afterburner is 1050MHz, the same limit in Catalyst. Since this is a PE/OC card, I would've figured the limit to be way higher than this by default? I tried enabling the unofficial overclocking method (t=338906 on Guru3D), but this just caused Afterburner to not have/set any values for both Core and Memory Clocks. I then took a look at this guide (t=359671 on Guru3D) and put the 2 .dll's in Afterburner's folder, and it causes it to be able to read and set clocks properly, however, there is an insane amount of flickering at times (I think due to switching of clocks?).
3. MSI LiveUpdate 5 can't read my card BIOS or get any information about it aside from it being a 7800 Series card. I was mainly interested in checking for any VBIOS updates, and if it helps, GPU-Z tells me my BIOS Version is 015.015.000.002.000000 (113-xxx-xxx).
4. The dust-removal fan tech, or more specifically, the fan reversal spinning doesn't stop after 30 seconds if no GPU driver exists in Windows. In other words, if I'm using the Standard VGA drivers, the fans keep spinning (in reverse I'm pretty sure) at what sounds like full power.
I have CPU-Z and GPU-Z validation URL's in my signature for any more system information, and I also have a hec 585W PSU.

For 1. you already solved this yourself to be driver related.
Yeah, I guess I was just more or less curious if anyone else had a similar incident with these drivers.
Quote from: flobelix on 24-October-12, 19:52:46
For 2.: Use Driver Fusion in Safe Mode to remove current VGA drivers.
Then install latest drivers from MSI
Try again
From what I understand, those are just the standard Catalyst 12.8 drivers from AMD? In any case I saw http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18431335 which in short said to make a desktop shortcut of AB with -xcl, and download some patch; and doing both of those actually worked on Catalyst 12.10 drivers. So everything (so far) seems ok, no flickering or anything.
Quote from: flobelix on 24-October-12, 19:52:46
For 3.: Upload current vbios to a filehoster and post link as well as add S/N
VBIOS: http://puu.sh/1i8DU
S/N: 602-V273-030B1207046208
Quote from: flobelix on 24-October-12, 19:52:46
For 4.: That is normal, it runs at full speed until fan control kicks in with the driver.
Ah, k

DKA790GX Platinum SOLVED (backward FP connector and IGP driver issues)

Hi all. I just got my DKA790GX Platinum along with the rest of my new PC parts yesterday and got it all up and running last night with Vista Ultimate x64. So far everything runs smooth as silk except for a couple small hiccups...
1: The power LED doesn't light up. My front panel wires only have a 3 pin connector, so I'm using the 3 pin spot on JFP2 with the arrow on the connector on the + pin. SOLVED: Connector from the front panel was wired backward. Put the arrow to - and it worked perfectly!
2: the HD3300 onboard video seems limited to 1440x900 pixels resolution. My monitor supports 1680x1050, which I was running on my old computer with a radeon x1650xt. Since most of the reviews I'd read placed the HD3300 between the HD2xxx and HD3xxx series for performance, I figured it'd be a better card than the x16xx series. In this respect I guess not unless anyone has a way to enable higher resolutions on it. SOLVED: Installed the latest catalyst drivers from ATI for the HD3400 series and in the advanced control center under Monitor Properties 0 -> Attributes unchecked Use Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) or driver defaults then manually set my maximum resolution and refresh rate to those of my monitor. After this in the advanced control center under Display Options I was able to set my desktop area and refresh rate to the correct numbers.
3: Initially I was getting awful frame tearing or interlacing of some sort on video playback, including both DVDs and video files like AVI. This I was able to resolve by disabling Aero but I'd think there should be a better solution for such low intensity usage. I never had this problem on the x1650xt in XP. SOLVED: Installed the latest catalyst drivers from ATI for the HD3400 series and in the advanced control center under Monitor Properties 0 -> Attributes unchecked Use Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) or driver defaults then manually set my maximum resolution and refresh rate to those of my monitor. After this in the advanced control center under Display Options I was able to set my desktop area and refresh rate to the correct numbers.
Any ideas for any of these problems would be much appreciated!

Mainboard: DKA790GX Platinum

HDD: Samsung 1TB SATA2
Chassis: Thermaltake Armor+MX
PSU: Antec 430w (will be replaced with a higher wattage supply when I have the money but works for now)
Monitor: Samsung 225BW (22" widescreen)
I'm using all the latest drivers from the MSI web site for the motherboard, and from the manufacturer websites for sound and monitor.

Yes, I downloaded the latest Samsung 225BW drivers from their web site though I find it questionable as to whether they're functioning properly or not; Adobe Photoshop CS3 gives an error on startup saying the monitor's color profile is corrupt. My guess is the drivers aren't fully compatable with Vista x64.
Meanwhile I got my replies from MSI, both from the customer service form which I filled out first, and the technical support form which I'd found shortly after submitting the first ticket. I've never gotten two such vastly different yet both so woefully inadequite answers from a company in my life
Tech Support's answer:

There is no problem with the on board HD3300 VGA which can support the full 1080P resolution which be sure to have the latest mb bios and a fresh/clean OS installation and follow by updated system and device drivers installation which there is no problem to support the 1680x1050 when the monitor can support it: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1552 ** http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1552

Dear customer,
The onboard VGA performance is lower than external VGA. It is normal.
Best regards

Tech support while correct didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, and the broken english is difficult to read. The customer service answer is ridiculously false, I have to wonder if this employee ever bothered to look up the answer (yes an IGP is typically less powerful than a discreet video card but the goals I was after were well within the card's capabilities. The fact that I was able to resolve the issues proves that). I hold MSI hardware in very high esteem. I've never had a problem with an MSI product that wasn't caused by another part failing (my K9N-Neo F in my previous computer popped a cap in the northbridge when the PSU blew out, and my wife had an MSI board literally melt a few years back in a power surge, neither was MSI's fault) but my estimation of their customer support has dropped a few notches today.
To sum this entire experience up though; this is simply one of the newer MSI boards on the market and it hasn't had a long time for drivers to be perfected. The ATI drivers work slightly better for now. As for how I figured it out, I read a review on the board somewhere (maybe newegg since that's where I bought it) that mentioned the catalyst drivers from ATI have had the HD3300 in them for a few months now even though it's not linked directly on their site yet. I figured the HD3400 would be worth a try. :D
In an unrelated topic, I've got a new problem though I'm not sure if it's related to the board at all. For some reason Portal stutters awfully in full screen mode even with details turned way down. It runs fine in windowed mode. On googling it I found several other people on the net have had the same problem but no answers have been put forward that I've seen. As far as I can tell it's a DX9 emulation error in Vista x64 but no way to prove it and no ideas for a solution. Then again the IGP could simply be insufficient to power that game despite being nearly twice as fast as the x1650XT I'd been using in my previous machine....

Macbook OS is toast and DVD drive issue to boot, help please!!!

So my girlfriends macbook booted and it only shows a folder with a question mark. Ok, so I've done all the simple things I've come across on the web. SO I finally get a copy of the disc to fix it and I can't put the disc in. As far as I can tell there is no disc in it and doing all the tricks to get it to eject yields no results so I am assuming there isn't one in it. If I push harder than I would like the disc will go in about 40% but seems blocked by something on the right side of the slot.
So my 2 questions are how do I get a disc in and if not how do I fix this thing without being able to insert a disc?
The only other computer available is a PC. The Macbook is out of warranty and she doesn't have the money for apples expensive repairs.
Please tell me there is something that can be done.

Since it's out of warranty, you could always take the drive out of the system and take it apart to see if indeed there is anything in it or not. Otherwise, you could just buy an external DVD-ROM, like they sell on the cheap for netbooks. It's not free, but it is cheaper than taking it somewhere to get fixed.

HP 15 freezing and suspected driver issue but installed drivers!

Hi there! Ive been having this issue ever since I bought this computer! Sometimes the video goes haywire and freezes all scratchy sideways like. Then other times when it crashes I get this most infamous warning sign popping up before it reboots itself!! "system thread not handled atikmdag.sys" So I googled that and all kinds of things about drivers came up. So I tried everything I could understand and ya, should be solved but apparently its not so now Im here. How are you? I could be better, getting nasty urges to destroy this computer! Holding on for dear life, in a life raft, pls save me! Only crashes when Im watching some videos or got multiple windows open. Cant handle nothing I guess! Thought A8's werent that bad once upon a time. I even replaced the computer right after I bought it while it was still on warranty! Was having the same issue on the old I had. Normally a recovery isnt that hard for me to handle but that may have been a few operating systems ago.
