##SOLVED## VGA driver install crash. Ive tried everything!

Here are the system specs.
K8N Master 2 FAR (original bios)
2 X Opteron 246
1 x 1gb DIMM Legend ECC REG DDR 400
Enermax liberty 600watt
2 Hitachi deskstar 8mb cache sata 120gb
Tried graphics cards
7600gs PCI-E
7200 PCI-E
Now the issue I am having is the nvidia vga driver installer crashing. The screen flickers a few times (normal) then goes black for approx 2 minutes until a BSOD. Upon rebooting windows loads until a blank screen with cursor and then back to the BSOD. Booting into safe mode and removing the drivers allows windows to boot correctly but whatever I do I cant get the drivers to go!!!!
I have tried fresh installs of XP pro (sp1, sp2, sp3 beta) as well as server 2003 enterprise. I have also tried the two different vga cards along with three different driver releases. I have also tried both PCI-E slots. I have also tried installing under safe mode, same BSOD. If I had a PCI-E ATI card it would be a valuable diagnostic tool but unfortunately I do not so; have to try and eliminate the problem without it.
The weirdest part of the issue is that when the system was last used approx 8 months ago (I have been overseas) things were fine. Same exact hardware.... Any suggestion for things to try will be greatly appreciated because although a couple of years old now this is still a hell of a good system and I am most certainly not ready to give up on it.
I am downloading the latest mobo bios now and will update this post with my results. I am however not hopeful the the bios is the answer.

Thanks for the advise Bas. I had in fact tried memtest. Another thing I forgot to mention.
Anyhow I downloaded the latest nforce and forceware drivers last night and this morning (dial-up) and updated the BIOS (using the very handy thumb drive tool from these forums) to 1.42. Did a clean TinyXP SP2 install, installed the drivers and... no prob's at all. I'm not sure if it was the BIOS (I doubt it), the new nforce or the new forceware version but something worked. Its happily been running a simultaneous sisoft sandra and 3dmark 07 loop (crawling obviously but I wanted max stress) for the whole of the afternoon while Ive been out sailing with no prob's at all.
All I can say is thanks and see ya' round. I'm planning on modding' some large passive P4 coolers to fit the board; I know its going to be a job and a half but as I'm running a passive vid' card and whisper quiet power supply )dual rail Enermax... none of the common prob's associated thankfully) and drives I figure its worth it. I have the better (it would seem) revision of the board with the identical copper coolers (not the funky mismatched pair) and had considered new fans (70>80mm adapters included) but figure I may as well got the whole hog. Out of interest is there a forum post/site anyone knows of where people have submitted there results with various coolers?
I will post results here to help others anyhow when I have achieved something worth sharing.

Flah player is not working and ive tried everything

Ok, so i have installed the latest flash player but its still not working on sites likes e4.com/skins, the videos there will not play. This is weird because ive watched videos on the site before.
Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the app adobe gives u to completely remove it but nothing is working. Ive checked that the flash player has installed properly by checking on the adobe website and everything is working fine. The add ons are all enabled and so on.
The video on the website loads with a black screen where the video should be but nothing happens.
This is getting very annoying, help would be nice.
I am on windows vista and im using internet explorer 8. The videos also dont work on safari or firefox even though i have got flash player for those browsers. Ive tried scanning my computer to see if i have any virusis but bit defender says im clean.

In view and manage add ons these two were the only two there,

Version       10.0.42.34
In firefox their was swf vs 10.0.32.18 and that was enabled.
I went to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash and this was what was in there Flash10d.ocx, flashplayer.xpt, FlashUtil10d, install (tetx document), NPSWF32.dll, NPSWF32_FlashUtil, uninstall_activeX, uninstall_plugin.
The java entries are java 6 update 6 and java 6 update 18 and the flash player 10 activex is listed.
Thanks so much for yr help.

Hi, Using IE find "View and manage your internet explorer add-ons">all add-ons. Look for Shockwave Flash Object...
ActiveX Control....Flash10d.ocx and ensure that it is enabled.
In FF, look for SWF vs 10.0.42.34 and ensure that it is enabled.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash. Open the Flash folder and post back every entry that is listed there.
In Programs and Features post back the Java entries with version #'s and while you are there just note that Flash Player 10 ActiveX is listed.
If you have any questions or need info to obtain the Flash folder info, just post back.
Thanks,

HT1212 Ive tried everything and my ipod still will not unlock, it goes back to the disabled screen

Ive tried everything that apple has told me to do, but the ipod is still disabled!

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

My Ipod touch 4th generation is not working, its frozen, ive tried everything and its not working, its just frozen on an app and i really really need HELP!!!

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I just had a new hard drive installed. After loading everything back on my computer from external drive, i came to the "select wireless network screen. I've misplaced the WEP password for my internet. Is there anyway to find it on another computer?

Maybe. What kind of other computer are you talking about? What operating system is it running? What kind of wireless router are you using?
Your best bet may be to just reset the router and set it up again.
Just so you know, WEP is a very old security system for wireless and is considered insecure. If you have it available, use WPA2.

Hello there, LaruaGalliers.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great troubleshooting steps for your issue:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
Battery does not charge
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Set up ipod touch to cox email, ive tried everything and cant get it to work. thanks!

set up ipod touch to cox email, ive tried everything and cant get it to work. thanks!

Here's an answer from the net:
Go to Settings/Mail,contacts,calendars/Add account choose other, choose Add Mail Account. Fill in name, email address, password and description on the screen that comes up. Save those.
One the next screen tat comes up click om POP in the first line then fil in the host name as
spop.west.cox.net or spop.east.cox.net or the one to go with your region.
Note that is not a misprint, that is spop (secure pop)
Fill in your username one more time (the password should have carried over from previously)
Fill in your outgoing mail server like smtp.west.cox.net (change for your region) and click Save.
When all the settings are verified a checkmark will appear next to them all and you are good to go.
If it says something like "can't connect via SSL would you like to ..." then you probably missed the step about selecting POP on the second screen and are trying IMAP so go back and try over with POP. Or perhaps mistyped soemthing.
Once everything is working you can go back into the settings and see that it has automatically connected on port 995 and that SSL is on
Note that you probably won't be able to send email from a wifi in a cafe or similar as cox won't let you connect to their smtp from outside their network.
I haven't tried receiving mail from a non cox connected wifi yet but I suspect it will work just fine. Anyway these settings work for me using my ipod to my home wifi router connected to cox.
I could not find a definitive guide when I searched so I hope this helps other folks trying to configure this.
I got the spop from "Mail for Mac OS X 10.5 configure SSL / POP" here:

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The appointment is free.

My ipod doesnt have headphones in but it says it is and i cant hear anything ive tried everything but nothing works help!!

My ipod says theres headphones in but there isnt ive tried everything but nothing works help!!!

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
