nVidia GeForce 6800GT/7600GT & now 7900GT using latest WHQL
Just recently upgraded from my NF3-UD / 6800GT AGP system to my current PCIe system.
Only ever installed the basic package in game mode. No problems.
Only one problem. I get big black squares that flicker on the screen during intense gaming sections and loading screens. System has been completely formatted since the new upgrade but the squares remain. Changed PSU, tried different RAM, stock clocks. It's isolated to the X-Fi. This problem existed on the NF3-UD AGP system as well. I had a cheapo SB Li've card before this and didn't have the black squares. Sometimes when the squares appear the system has a little freeze causing the CD-skip noise. The worst offenders are V8 Supercars 3 (Race driver 3) & Oblivion.
It's definitely something to do with the X-Fi.
Music runs fine for me using Winamp 5.2 Full. Haven't had any crackling yet.
I may note that I always use the 3rd PCI slot for sound cards & this X-Fi is no exception.Message Edited by utetopia on 05-22-2006 06:39 PM

Any body out there with vivo working on FX ?. can you post your specs ?

Hi,
If there is anybody out there in the universe who can do analog capture with these cards, please let us know.
Just post your specs to enlightment of the rest mere mortals....
I am pretty sure there is a colission for resources... I have rebotted 30 times my PC today and I see a pattern.
After blue screen, my computer will not boot anymore. I have to disconnect the network cable ( I presume to avoid some kind of initialization) or if I am lucky and I can start in safe mode, disable the network interface.
With network disabled, after blue screen ( the usual suspect nv4_mini.sys ) I can reboot without problems, eitehrwise forget it...
Currently, I manage to see color video ( and movement ) when I put into capture mode in Ulead. However, as soon as I request it to start capturing, .... blue screen.
I have dig the whole internet and a lot of people is under the same hassel from all vendors selling video-in FX series.
I have already gone to safe mode, uninstall everything possible and installed piece by piece from start... same results.
any hints I will try.

Hi,
First I don't have a clue to what your problem is but...
Yes I can capture with my FX5600-vtdr-128 video card...I can do it in two programs,Studio9 and Roxio DVD creator..The only rub is huge white bars pop in and out of the capture sometimes..Particularly after a glitch in the video..Were talking home movies not commercial copying..As near as I can tell from a google search it's the Nvidia WDM driver thinking that it has to block Macrovision..Good luck,

Is there a way to remove your sim card if you don't have the tool that came with your phone?

Is there a way to remove your sim card if you don't have the tool that came with your phone? I wanted to see if I could upload my old information to the iCloud, by putting the new sim card into the old phone, since I didn't before I updated my new phone.

Any metal clip will do. Insert the tip in the little hole next to the Sim Card and press FIRMLY. The SIM drawer will pop out.

When posting, please post a new topic if you don't have an answer!

Occasionally you may be tempted to add your voice to a chorus of complaints. Unfortunately, if what you are here for is to get assistance for a problem which you can't find an answer for, trailing an existing thread with a second complaint, is usually considered bad form. It has been given the nickname of "threadjacking." Instead, when you don't have an answer, and are seeking an answer, start a new topic by clicking on the Discussions header links of the board below the big bold text "Apple Discussions" to locate the board most appropriate for your question. Once you have found the board appropriate for your question, above the posts on the upper left should be a "Post a New Topic" link. Use that link to create your own topic. If that link is not there, you have probably already entered another thread, and if that is the case, use the link Batch to Topic List link to return to where you can Post a New Topic.
Here are the advantages to not threadjacking:
1. You will get a much wider audience of possible experts to help you out.
2. The original poster of the thread will not get advice that does not pertain to their situation, and you won't get advice that doesn't pertain to your situation. You wouldn't want either you or the other person to get the wrong advice and try something which could make them get more in a hole.
3. The experienced users with this situation won't get confused who they are offering advice to and give the wrong advice to the wrong person.
Thank you!

I login as the owner of ora10g and start dbua. It shows me all the 7 databases but when I select the database to upgrade it throws the following info :
[b]The Upgrade Assistant Failed in bringing up the database xxxx. Oracle Home /oracle/9.2.0.8 obtained from /etc/oratab was used to connect to the database. Either the database is not running from Oracle Home /oracle/9.2.0.8 or correct Initialization pfile was not found.
It then asks for pfile. -----------------------------------
The database is up and running.The Oracle home is also correct in Oratab file.

P4 3.4 GHz post your specs

Just getting set to build a P4 3.4 GHz system. What I am looking for is some guidance in what I can get away with overclocking. Could you all post you spec etc… .

Well the First thing that you should Have if you are Expecting to get any Real Performance from a FSB Overclock, is some Memory that is Built for Overclocking, which PC-3200 (DDR-400) Memory is NOT. I mean you can Only expect to be able to push your current Memory to maybe 440MHZ, which is a PSB or FSB Speed of 220MHZ, Sure you can Clock your CPU Higher, But you will have to Underclock (Change The Ratio) of your Memory to 5:4 or 333MHZ, But then Why Overclock One and Underclock Another . If you wan't to Really be able to go over 220MHZ, you should Invest in some Quality PC-4000 (DDR-500) Modules, and forget about the 3.4GHZ and go with a 2.6GHZ, 2.8GHZ, or even a 3.2GHZ, as they are about $200.00 US Cheaper then the Top Dog 3.4GHZ Northwood, and the money you save, can be Put to some Good Overclockable Memory. I do Not Think that you will be able to Clock the 3.4 higher than the 3.2 anyway And when you can get the same Performance from the 3.2MHZ CPU it Just does NOT Make sense unless you have OCing Memory to match..................Sean

New OS Bugs - post your expressions here!!!

Well so far, the new operating system isnt too bad. The very first thing I checked for that I was hoping they would fix, was not fixed . I was hoping they would allow for the "Add to existing contact" option when trying to save a number to your phone, but nope, you still have to do it the long way. These are my two issues with the OS 6:
No "Add to existing contact" option when saving a number
Somewhat slow when cycling through menus.
What about you guys?

srbecker wrote:

"The new"... you might be a little more specific. You don't say what model Bold you have (there are three) and various service providers release operating system updates from time to time, so there's no way of knowing what you speak of, or which specific OS6 release.
srbecker wrote:
No "Add to existing contact" option when saving a number
That's not in any OS release. I use a great third party app "AddToContact2" for that. It pulls any email or phone data from an email and asks to which contact I want to add it, and to which contact field.
srbecker wrote:
Somewhat slow when cycling through menus.
Reboot ONE more time... give it five minutes after the reboot before navigating and see if it is faster.
You could have some third party theme or app that is not compatible with OS 6 installed.

Kt600 delta post your gripes here!

Major gripes with this board :-
1.why should i have to spend another £50 - £80 on a top of the range psu
just to run a £55 motherboard ?
The amount of people on this forum who have had to upgrade their psu just
to get this board up and running is unbelievable
2. heat :- this board runs a good 10 - 15 degrees higher than its nforce 2
counterparts ! so you have to go out and buy uprated cooling to
get a stable system
never mind trying to clock it
kt6 chipset :-this is the most unstable board i have ever fitted costing more in the long run to get it all up and running than any other ive built
shall stick to the nf2 in future
feel free to post your moans

1: The heat on the cpu, increased ALOT from my old KT400, very strange. It vas before, 39-40 (Idle) now its 45-46, much more I think, maybe there is something wrong with the sensor, or the KT400 had a 'good n' sweet days' sensor.
Well, that would be everything I think.
I ran my XP2500+ at 3200+ yesterday, and it was very stable, but I had to increase my TwinMOS PC2700 memory to 3v to have them in 400 mode. And even then I had to remove Ultra mode and everything else fast, that made the computer slower, atlest in 3dmark, then default clock on everything So I will just get better mem and then I will go 3200+ everyday, I hope, if there wont be a problem with the heat.
Using a open window, and a Cooler Master Aero 7 LITE at 45% speed, I suppose I can increase the speed if I want to clock but Its very loud then. I think, as I said that there might be some error with the sensor, cause the window was open, and the computer was just under it and totaly open, no plates or sidepanels or something, also it was -3C outside (sweden). The old motherboard (K4v) got much colder.
EDIT: I have a Q-TEC 550W (you say they suck, not mine ) and I still got very good voltage even when Im in so extreme overclock (to me that is extreme )

Why not to Update your phone to the new 4.4.2 Kitkat update. Post your complaint here!

I will start this discussion off by listing some of my complaints.
The other day my phone says "Important updates available for your device" and I am thinking that there must be a good reason to do it.So I do. My phone reboots and the first thing I notice is that there are new apps installed t hat have nothing to do with the update. Next the phone constantly tries to backup, every other letter I type when writing a message there is lots lag. sometimes resulting in numbers or other special characters. I could go on forever but now it is your turn. Be sure to let Verizon know how unhappy you are with the software and the update.
Verizon this update SUCKS!!!

I agree completely. This update has made a mess of my phone. My favorite app is "PowerAmp", a music player I use the "paid" version of. All my playlists are now empty. The app now has all kinds of glitches.
Perhaps I'm being a bit cynical, but with the addition of more Google-related apps in this update (that I didn't ask for and don't want), and the destruction of some apps that compete with ones from Google, it appears that Google is using its control of the Android operating system to boost itself over the competition.

I recieved my 20" iMac today and am having the same issue.
Specs:
As stock except with 256MB VRAM and 1GB RAM (factory installed).
Ordered 25th Jan.
Recieved 3rd Feb.
Problem appears with Front Row, Real Player, iCal and possibly others I haven't tried. I'm reluctant to install software and migrate data from my Mac mini because of this issue.
I've run the hardware test. Passed.
I've left the iMac unplugged for 30min.
I've reset the PRAM by unplugging the iMac, waiting 1min, then plugging it back in while holding the power button.
Nothing has worked. I haven't called Apple yet but I plan to.

Backing up your iTunes Library when you don't have a CD Drive

Hi. yeah. I need to reboot my netbook soon, and my model didn't come with a CD Drive, and iTunes keeps telling me that I need one if I want to back up my library. Is there a trick that I can use to back up the library to my SD Card? most of you would likely tell me I need to buy an external drive. But my issue is this: This netbook was a Christmas gift, and I haven't got the cash to buy a Plug N Play CD Drive...

It isn't really a trick. Just copy your entire iTunes folder to the SD card. Of course this only works if there is room on the SD card to hold it, so verify that beforehand.
