Serious boot error. very annoying. P6NGM mobo. NVIDIA mcp73 chipset
I have a 80gb Western Digital that i installed xp on using another computer but it still wont boot nor will the cd drive boot even with a 100% original valid windows installation disc.
No matter what I do I always get the stupid "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or insert Boot Media in
selected Boot device and press any key."
At first i thought the motherboard was fried so i sent it back and had it replaced. Put it together, booted it, still the same problems. I have the hard drive set as master drive and it has windows xp installed but it still wont boot from it. please assist
System is:
# Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Conroe 2.66GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
# P6NGM Motherboard (MS-7366)
# 1GB RAM
# Onboard NVIDIA MCP73 Series Chipset
# Western Digital Caviar SE WD800JB 80GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive
# Windows XP SP1 already installed on the hard drive using another computer
# 400W Power Supply

Take attention to WD jumper config:
Jumperless = Standalone
Jumper master = Master with Slave
Jumper slave = Slave with Master
Leave WD drive alone in the channel and remove jumper from the drive:
Make sure that IDE cable is connected in correct direction, (blue to mainboard and black to HDD in a picture below):

Don't know if anyone is still having problems with this, but just in case...
I was getting a similar error. I had an Event Viewer record (It wasn't a Warning or an Error, just an Information) reading:You are running a version of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (also called MSDE) that has known security vulnerabilities when used in conjunction with this version of Windows. To reduce your computer's vulnerability to certain virus attacks, the TCP/IP and UDP network ports of Microsoft SQL Server 2000, MSDE, or both have been disabled. To enable these ports, you must install a patch, or the most recent service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or MSDE from http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/default.asp

I installed SQL SP4 and it corrected the problem

TS1424 Hi guys I'm playing kings of Camelot and I'm trying to purchase gems in the game but every time I try it come up with connect iTunes error how do I fix it I have purchases 2 $30 iTunes cards but I carnt use them it's getting very annoying thanks

Hi guys I'm playing kings of Camelot and I'm trying to purchase gems inside the game but it comes up with connect iTunes error could you please help to fix this problem it's getting very annoying cause I just went out and brought a $60 iTunes card

Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to 'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
Thanks for the info.

GE60 0NC booting error

Hey guys my GE60 0NC seems te have some kind of issues.
When I boot it and logg in the booting seems to stop at the WiFi connecting.
At that moment I can start a few minor programs but a lot of booting hasnt been finished yet.
To fix this I tried to:
-Systemrepair it to 1 day ago
This seemed to help, I could use it again although it ran a lot slower than normal.
In addition some programs seem to have some error, for instance League of Legends won't boot.
However when I shut it down and rebooted it again I was back to the same booting error.
What could be the problem here?
Thank you very much for your time.
Olav

I've been having the same problem for over a week (MSI GE60 - i5-3210M, 6GB RAM and GT650M; bought a bit over a year ago).
It started with a normal boot, but when I logged into my account I couldn't start any programs for 5-10 minutes. My S-Bar also stopped responding and crashed.
At first I suspected malware/virus, and actually found some shady files that I deleted with Malwarebytes Anti Malware.
The problem was still there though, so I did a system restore (I couldn't go back more than a few days) and that seemed to fix the problem - but after a reboot it was back.
I could find some errors, like the one you linked, in the Event Viewer - but also alot of Information-events from NvStreamSvc (several every sec) which is a part of Nvidia.
So today I uninstalled GeForce-experience (couldn't launch it apparently, got some error) and then installed an older display driver 310.90.
I also reinstalled my S-Bar and now it seems like I run pretty decent. The WiFi-logo has gone back to normal and I can start up programs early after a boot.
You could also try and uninstall some recent Windows Updates - I'm not sure if they're involved, but you could always give it a try.
Hopefully this helps you, or someone else, in some way.

Booting Error: Flashing Question Mark

I was working with iWeb today and then it beachballed like crazy... So I force quit but then that beachballed too. So I just forced a shut down. Let it rest. Turned it back on and then it came up in gray screen. Then with the OS 9 smiley logo and the folder with a flashing question mark. I followed all those steps, did the disk utility, it said it found an error with the Tree Nodes so it repaired them fine. Then I tried to restart, still nothing. I tried the Startup Manager, all it found was the CD, no hard drive... I tried PRAM. I tried it all. I am very annoyed and now frustrated that all my work on iWeb and all my files are going to have to go bye bye if I have to do an Erase and Complete REinstall. Does anyone think that my computer can be "Target Mode" mounted on my other comp. and I can drag the important files over? Help!
PS. even tried, lifting the keyboard latches and pressed the reset button.
Nada...

To save myself time, I'm going to try to answer both your recent posts in this single post:
1. You wrote: "There are two hard drives on the left column of the Disk Utility... "If we're talking about your PowerBook herre, then I think you are confusing hard drives with volumes on hard drives. Let's clarify that first:
In case you do not understand the difference between hard drives and volumes on hard drives, here's an example illustrating the difference (note that a similar example is shown as a screen shot in my previously cited "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ):
In the column on the left in Disk Utility, you might see something like this:<pre>38.2 GB IBM-DTLA-307045
Macintosh HD</pre>The first line ("38.2 GB..." whatever) is the disk, the actual hard drive itself, aka the device.
The second, indented line (Macintosh HD) would be your Mac OS X startup disk, aka your boot volume.
Volumes — partitions on a disk — appear indented below the disk on which they reside in Disk Utility.
In Disk Utility, you can select either a volume or a hard drive for verification or repair of either the disk or permissions. However, Repair Permissions can only be used on volumes on which Mac OS X is installed. If you select a drive (vs. a volume) and use Repair Disk on such, it will attempt to repair all volumes (partitions) on that drive.
If your LaCie FireWire drive is not connected and what you are seeing is akin to<pre>xx.xx GB FUJITSU...
No Name item you described</pre>Where the "No Name" item is indented and directly below the Fujitsu line, I suspect that No Name line should read "Macintosh HD" and, as a result of either directory corruption or disk damage, not even the name of the volume can be read.
2. Now, as to the specific errors you are citing: the "Invalid B Tree error" will require "stronger medicine" than Disk Utility. See the "Disk Utility cannot repair the disk" section of my — again — previously cited "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ.
3. You wrote: "Will the Archive and Install erase my iWeb files, my iCal files, my TextEdit documents? I need those the most. "If you read my previously-cited "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ, then you would know that — assuming you follow the steps in the FAQ — that none of your personal data would be lost by performing an Archive and Install. I post links to my FAQs presuming you will read them thoroughly.
However, if the Fujitsu hard drive is the only drive in the affected Mac — and if this problem is with your PowerBook you should only have one drive installed inside the computer — then you cannot perform an Archive and Instal at this time as the directory on the drive is corrupted. The "Invalid B Tree" errors must to be fixed before you attempt to perform an Archive and Install on that drive. Furthermore, it is possible that the directory corruption could have damaged some of your personal files, but you won't know that until you repair the directory, if possible.
4. Later you wrote: "I went to the Apple store at the local mall. The "genius" took a look at my Powerbook and told me that my Logic board has malfunctioned and that it would cost me $400 to fix it."That's entirely possible given the errors you described and the fact that the drive could not be seen even in Target Disk mode. You may have a combination of problems, i.e. bad logic board which also lead to the corrupted drive directory. If the logic board problem is intermittent, one pass of the Apple Hardware Test might not catch it. Running the hardware test in Loop Mode overnight, again as stated in my previously-cited "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ is a good way to check for intermittent problems.
I don't regard the price you were quoted as unreasonable for a new logic board, and certainly cheaper than a new Mac. You may be able to shop around for a lower price, but then there's the time vs. money tradeoff in doing so.
I can neither confirm nor deny as to if the advice given at the "Genius Bar" was correct: they were able to examine your computer, whereas I can only provide advise based on what you report.
5. Then you wrote: "is there a way for me to take out my hard drive and put it in a G5 or another computer or ext. HD that way I can transfer all my data? Any suggestions?"Yes. You will probably find instructions for removing the hard drive on the Apple Do-It-Yourself Parts & Service page. You will need to know the specific model of your PB G4 15-Inch Titanium. The AppleCare Knowledge Base document "PowerBook G4 Computers: How to Identify Different Models" can help you identify the specific model of PowerBook G4 you have. Knowing the processor type in your PowerBook would also help.
You'd also need a FireWire enclosure for the type of drive in your PowerBook, again assuming that's the computer in question here (you mentioned a G5). AFAIK, most laptops have 2.5" hard drives vs. the 3.5" drives normally found in desktops: those are the dimensions of the platters within the drive, not the drive itself. Based on what I read here, which I believe would apply to your Mac, you'd probably need a FireWire enclosure for a 2.5" drive such as shown here. You should confirm that before purchasing an enclosure: I don't have a PowerBook.
I've bought both FireWire drives and enclosures from OWC and have always been pleased with their products. Assuming a 2.5-inch enclosure is correct, I'd recommend one of their "On The Go" products.
However, you're still going to be faced with the issue of attempting to repair the directory on the drive, as discussed in point 2 above. If the directory cannot be repaired, then you are going to have to resort to data recovery options, as discussed in my "Data Recovery" FAQ.
Good luck!

It boots Ubuntu fine. Arch linux doesn't complain either. I only found out about the problem when I tried to pacman -Syu straight after the install - there was no networking. ifconfig had done its job but there was no routing table. I manually added route add default gw 192.168.0.1 and edited /etc/resolv.conf to make sure I could get to my router but, again, it wouldn't work. The forcedeth module had been loaded (ethernet driver) so I took a look at lspci (details in very first post) and can see that it's appears to be an issue with the PCI bus (the ethernet hangs off the PCI bus)I ran hwdetect --modules and pasted the output into /etc/rc.conf and rebooted. Still no joy.
The mobo is an ASRock 939N68PV-GLAN. It has an nVidia chipset (GeForce 7050 NB + nForce 630A MCP SB). From my lspci results it would appear the problem is with the 630A MCP. As Ubuntu works and Arch doesn't I'm perplexed. And yes I've googled and followed what little help there is around. Nothing has worked so far. Hopefully someone will have experienced a problem with either the same mobo or the 630A MCP and they can tell me what needs to be done.

I think there is a very annoying bug after the latest update of firefox, can I talk to someone, or chat with someone so I can get rid of it

Since the latest auto update of my firefox browser I am experiencing strange issues. Every evening when I stop working, I close my browser (closing all the tabs that I am working on and in the morning, I restore the session) . For many years everything worked just fine ... untill after the last auto update of the firefox browser .. all of a sudden a got 302 errors ( a blank page with the description 302 and I believe "page moved here" or something to that extend ... i try to click the link and get nowhere.
I first noticed it on a few wordpress pages (backend ) that I was working on and which were restored from the previous day ...
thinking it was a server error, since we have several vps and dedicated servers .. i contacted the company who hosts our servers ..
they looked into it and apparently .. there were no issues on the server side and neither on that particular computer ... but our server hosts told us .. that it is probably browser related and seemed to have something to with a bug with the cache of the browser
we didn't know what to do .. it was very annoying .. but at that point it only happened once on a hew pages .. so we decided to see what happened the next time
Next time we did not restore a session with wordpress pages .. but with the google search engine open and on a few other tabs logged into social media .... and as was saidn by our server hosts it was indeed not related to work that we did on pages on our servers ... since that time even the google search engine homepage ... showed us ... moved here
Can you pease look into it and fix this .. we are doing the same thing as many years on the same computer also a few years .. so it is not anything we do wrong either .. it is most definitely browser related
so can you please fix it asap .. since when we work on wordpress .. that is not the only thing that goes wrong .. we also have difficulty uploading updates ... when updating sometimes after the update of any particular change on a wordpress page is done ... we are also redirected to a blank page .. so the updated page does not want to load ... in that case we have use our back button ...
which sends us back to the right page ... but with the old data on it ... then we have to refresh that page .. and only then we see the page updated ... so it seems that there is an issue in both direction with the caching of the browser after the last update
Kind regards,
Robert

uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

Very Annoying EXPORT problems

The first time i installed Lightroom, all the things went well, but i don't know why, one day i tried to export a photo and it appeared one of those common errors with "Send Error Report/Don't Send Error Report".
I can't do anything besides the preset export settings. I installed windows again, and the first thing i did besides installing the correct drivers for my pc, was to install Lightroom. I tried all versions of Lightroom, including Lightroom 2 Beta. I don't know why it worked once, and after a while it didn't work. If it never worked i could have said that my pc is a mess, and i need a new one, but why did it work at that time? (i tried to go back with all the installations i made since it worked, but nothing).
I really need help, because it's a very annoying problem.

Hello fellow Minnesotan!
Welcome to the forum.
Have you tried to repair permissions using Disk Utility, and trashed GB's ".plist" and ".cs" files, then restarted the computer?
And about the looping, just do it in GB and avoid all this mess. LOL!
Good luck and let us know how it works out!

Photoshop CS5 Issue - Very Annoying

Hello all,
I'm having a very weird (and needless to say, very annoying) issue with my Photoshop CS5 Extended. Any knowledge or help would be highly appreciated. FYI - I'm photographer so my primary use is image editing.
Basically, every time I make a change to a layer (apply a filter or change blending modes), Photoshop does not reflect those changes unless I hit Ctrl+S to save or perform another action (such as selecting a different tool from the tool-set). For example, consider this scenario:
- I open a PSD file that only contains a background layer.
- I duplicate the background layer
- I change the blending mode to "Multiply"
- Nothing happens to the image (no visual changes even though the image should have gotten darker)
- Now if I hit Ctrl+S to save the document, the screen is refreshed and now I see the changes.
I have no idea what might be causing this. I have the latest 12.0.1 patch installed. I have gone through my preferences to see if something needs to be checked but to no avail.
Any help will be appreciated.
FYI - I'm running this on Windows 7 - 64-bit
Thanks

That can be a good workaround, but be aware that some things won't work... For example, you won't be able to see a preview of your brush hardness using the Alt-right mouse button brush gestures. And of course zoom won't be smooth, and pans won't flip with inertia (big whoop). If you have Extended you may not find the 3D features as usable.
What I'd do if I were you is do some searches for people using your specific video card and see if any of them have found any older drivers that work better. Then bug nVidia to fix their drivers.
Alternatively, a really fine video card with huge speed and memory can be had nowadays for a hundred bucks.

Boot Error Sequence

IdeaCentre K210 57078894 works fine until I completely shut it down and restart it. I get errors like Boot Error Sequence, PXE-E53 No boot filename received, PXE-M0F. When I go to the BIOS setup it says Primary IDE not detected. Can anyone help fix this problem?

Hi,
You might try removing the hard drive and then put it in an external 3.5" USB enclosure and then test it on a different PC. This type of adapter could also be used to test the hard drive on another PC.

When I update some of my addons, everytime I open firefox information about update is in new tabs, even "welcome to firefox" is always there in new tab! It's very annoying!

Question
When I update some of my addons, everytime I open firefox information about update is in new tabs, even "welcome to firefox" is always there in new tab! It's very annoying!

Ok I found a solution that worked for me, I simply dragged the user.js and the user.js.BAK to the desktop, before that I had done the same with the prefs.js and prefs.js.BAK, but that didn't help, so it's apparently the user file that was an error with.
It was the link from cor-el that helped me on the way http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
It's at the bottom titled User.js file locks certain preferences.
This article can also help https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved
It have still not made a new user.js file, but everything runs fine, hope this can help others to.

Some boot error

I am getting some boot error at the very end at boot time and it moves to fast for me to catch it.
I did try with read -n1 added to rc.conf but as the error is at the very end so it just jumps past the error.
I had a look in /var/log files but could not really find anything.
Where to find the boot log? Or something else?

You should add read at the end of /etc/rc.local

Everytime I open a comment tag 'pop-up,' the Thumb-Nail section opens, very annoying. Have tried everything I can think of. Any ideas? Thank you.

Every time (ALMOST) I open a comment tag 'pop-up,' the Thumb-Nail section opens, very annoying. Have tried everything I can think of. Any ideas? No other problems elsewhere, either in Adobe or Word or my entire computer for that matter. Very strange glitch. Ran several deep virus checks - nothing. Booted and re-booted. Entered different ways into Adobe, no help. Thought about my keyboard (wireless of course) might be doing it, but in other web-sites and in WORD - no problems.
I use WINDOWS 8.1. Also doubled checked my up-date status. Is there a chance that this is a continuing problem that is still being encountered from the last major Adobe up-date? Use Adobe for years with never a problem until the latest up-date. Parting thought, maybe just my batteries in my keyboard are getting low, or a really low threshold virus of some sort, no idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you! Charlie

these are the sites and the information that i followed and none of these things gave me a solution. i am still getting a second tab with every single window that opens. . . thank you for your help!

Auto zoom settings also applied for photo popup, very annoying! when u zoom out in popup, website also zooms out

http://blog.gsmarena.com/see-how-the-nokia-lumia-928-fares-against-the-samsung-galaxy-s4-in-low-light-conditions/
sice i have FULL HD screen i have to use page zoom. But check the above page, the photo popups as well are applied zoom. Very annoying and when zoomed out popup, the website as well zooms out.
Firefox stores the page zoom per domain, fine but how about photo pop ups?
zooming in a 5 MP, 10 MP camera output??

Firefox should try to fix a fault with the webpage?
Have you tried loading those images with Internet Explorer? Or Opera?
For me, IE 8 shows '''"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"''' - the image loads very large, like with Firefox 21, but the rest of the PHP page doesn't completely load and that error / warning message appears.
Opera 12 shows the large image with this message. '''"Could not connect to remote server''' 
Check that the address is spelled correctly, or try searching for the site. http://www.gsmarena.com/ads-blog-728.php3 "
Sorry - IMHO, Firefox is loading that image (PHP page) as instructed, the fault doesn't appear to me to be a fault with Firefox.
Why not wait a few hours for some more opinions about this issue. There are a couple of other support helper's on this forum who have vastly more experience with this "web stuff" than I have.
One "dirty" fix for that which I can share is to use a bookmarklet to make the image smaller on the screen, once the "page" is fully loaded. Simply click the bookmarklet to "halve" the image. 
https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/pagedata.html 
'''zoom images out''' = which will "halve" the image
That will help you get around changing the zoom factor for the whole domain every time you view an image on that website.
And if that "half-size" isn't small enough you can edit the "Location" line of that bookmarklet to a "decimal fraction" that is usable for your display.
This is the full javascript code for that bookmarklet.
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){%20function%20zoomImage(image,%20amt)%20{%20if(image.initialHeight%20==%20null)%20{%20/*%20avoid%20accumulating%20integer-rounding%20error%20*/%20image.initialHeight=image.height;%20image.initialWidth=image.width;%20image.scalingFactor=1;%20}%20image.scalingFactor*=amt;%20image.width=image.scalingFactor*image.initialWidth;%20image.height=image.scalingFactor*image.initialHeight;%20}%20var%20i,L=document.images.length;%20for%20(i=0;i<L;++i)%20zoomImage(document.images[i],.5);%20if%20(!L)%20alert("This%20page%20contains%20no%20images.");%20})();</nowiki></pre>
This part of that string, near the end - '''.5''' - is what halves that image. 
%20zoomImage(document.images[i],'''''.5''''');%20if%20( 
Edit that '''.5''' to .3 or .25 and see if that makes the image small enough to fit your screen.
Here's a little background on '''bookmarklets'''.
