Some issues after a successful build

Dear Folks
I had a nice easy time upgrading to the new system below and have managed to install XPSP3.  System seems to be stable now but I haven't connected my DVD-RW and/or my maxtor 80GB H-Disk.  I have currently three issues that I need some advice on:
1) With my far superior 8800GT graphics card and latest nvidia drivers, my display on the screen has become somewhat shoddy e.g. the writing of the desktop icon names is 'out' (see http://www.downloadthis.co.uk/desktop.PNG ).  The TFT LCD Monitor I am using is the same as before and can be seen at http://www.digimate.co.uk/product_new/monitor/lcd/L-1715.htm .  The image was a lot crisp on my old rig with my X1950Pro.  It's odd and bugging me a little.  Do I need a new TFT Monitor?  I've tried tinkering with it and refresh rates but makes little difference.
2) Speed.  I installed Windows and have been noticing the startup times and working times ... and to be honest, I cannot notice any speed increase whatsovever.  Infact I think it loads and runs slower. any ideas? This includes times from boot to desktop, installing programmes direct from HDisk, running programmes too.
3) My Hard-Disk.  Seems to cache a lot when copying and loading and is noisier than my maxtor.  It's SATAII instead of the old SATAI so I dont know why it doesnt run better.  I bought the samsung with advice from the forum but I'm not impressed so far!
Thanks

2) Have you installed the mainboard drivers?
By that if you mean the NVIDIA nForce 520/560 (MCP65) System Drivers from http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1244 then YES.

3) Not sure... There's no difference between S-ATAI and S-ATAII in terms of speed.
Well apart from that my new HD has 16MB Cache and the Old Maxtor I had was only 8MB.  I thought that might help the pace a little.  Would this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/130826 or this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/141471 have been better ?

    After updating my mac book pro to the osx yosemite.am getting some issues after starting up.as soon as it gets on the destop the screen start blinking and i cant do anything.Please help me!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Having some Issues After Installing Windows Vista

    I just recently installed Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit SP1 on my Intel iMac running OS 10.6. I thought everything was good until I noticed 2 things. 1. I did not have a Boot Camp icon in the system try, nor could I find it listed in control panels. 2. When I tried connecting to the internet via Internet Explorer while in Windows, it told me that I did not have a internet or network connection. When I'm on the Mac OS X side my internet connection is fine. I tried reinstalling the drivers, but my only options were install CD/DVD or to connect my computer to another computer. I tried installing them manually but I noticed a yellow exclamation point on my iSight and Broadcom drivers. I can't update them because I can't connect to the internet. Can anyone help? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I'm not a PC expert. Thanks!

    Hi Adeedo,
    Even I have the same kind of problem. After reading an update features list, I turned off and on the "Network Time Zone" button, its the same issue and its almost an hour its still saying that "Waiting for Network Time. After reboot the msg didn't appear but after turn off and turn on, same issue.
    Seems like the update broken this issue while fixing the part of not showing the city and country when the "Network Time Zone" option is turned on.
    I have got the 1.3.5 features info from the following link.
    http://www.everythingpre.com/forum/palm-webos/offi​cial-webos-1-3-5-update-discussion-25209.html
    ( Date & Time
    When the user has Network time zone enabled, a city and country are no longer displayed.
    I got this phone recently two week ago, and it was on WebOs 1.2.1 till i upgraded to 1.3.5 a week ago. 
    I am also having some other issues like Alarm. I have set two alarms one at 6.30 am and another at 6.45 am. It used to work fine, like getting buzzed for two alarms one after the other till before I update to 1.3.5. Today morning i observed that i got the buzz for first alarm, but i was waiting for the second one and it didn't come at all. I dismissed the first one. The phone was in charging using AC power.
    (Sprint Navigation
    A user can launch Sprint Navigation from an address in an open contact entry in Contacts
    Either this statement is wrong or the update is not working as it supposed to if this statement is correct. When i click the address from the open contact entry it takes me to Googles Page but not to Sprint Navigation launcher. Either i am doing wrong. Some one can help me how to launch Sprint navigation from the contact entry.

  • Some issues after switching from 686 to x86_64

    Hi all,
    after switching from i686 to x86_64 using this link I am now facing some minor issues with some packages. I already activated the multilib repository but some problems remain. I checked the binaries in /usr/bin for 32 bit executables as described in the above link and there are 177 "bad" binaries left. I thought all of these were not executable, but surprisingly wine was. Strange!
    ffmpeg is another 32 bit executable and not runnable. So I tried to reinstall it, but that failed:
    > pacman -S ffmpeg
    warning: ffmpeg-1:2.6.1-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
    resolving dependencies...
    looking for conflicting packages...
    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
    :: ffmpeg-compat: requires libx264.so=144-32
    libx264 is installed and didn't want to be reinstalled either:
    > pacman -S libx264
    warning: libx264-2:144.20150223-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
    resolving dependencies...
    looking for conflicting packages...

    :: ffmpeg: requires libx264.so=144-32
    :: ffmpeg-compat: requires libx264.so=144-32
    Can someone give me a hint, what's the best way to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance, Zmann

    I think the first issue you will run in to is that the interface for an old P4 hdd will probably not be the same as a new computer.  Besides that, it will probably be vastly slower than what comes with a new computer.  I think that is not the best idea.
    The only wat to really "trasition" between two archtectures that I know of is to copy configuration files over and have pacman dump a list of explicitly installed packages from the main repos.  Then use that information to reinstall all those packages.

  • Some issues after clean installing windows 7 pro 64bit

    Hi,
    I have a couple of issues, I clean installed windows 7 pro, 64bit, (vanilla) restored my license with ABR and used system update to download all the drivers. (no issues until here) But after restarting the system, I found this issues:
    1. I have to put the bios in legacy mode for system to boot. Otherwise it gives me a "no operating system found" message. Is there any way to make a proper installation for the system to boot in UEFI and LEGACY?
    2. System update didn't install thinkvantage center. (the program that stays in the taskbar). Should this be installed manually? Or system update should have installed it?
    3*. I can not use lenovo driver page of my x120e. In IE it shows me repeatedly the wizard to choose my model, although I enter the correct info there. It starts all over again and again. Tried opera, I can see the drivers page, but I can't browse, or expand none of the sections. (all I can think of this, do I need java for the page to work?)
    3*. UPDATE: After installing IE 9, java and flash player, still not working. Opera too. Google Chrome works fine.           What's the matter with IE and OPERA? What component do I need to make IE work with lenovo drivers download page?
    Can anyone help me? Never had to deal with these issues.
    Thanks in advance 
    I'm just a volunteer. I like to help others where I can. Do my ideas work? I hope so. o_O
    Who helped you today? Do not forget to thank him.
    My hardware: TP x120e 0596-2ru. Windows 7, sp1, 64Bit, English, installed in UEFI mode.

    Hello,
    Have you tried wiping the hard disk drive and reinstalling Windows 7 Professional x64 from the factory recovery discs while the BIOS is set to UEFI?  If so, did that work?

  • How to Deploy after successful Building by CBS

    Hello Experts.
    I have developed a TRACK in NWDI 7.01 SP8 for Deploying on SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.3.
    I have choosen 3 Runtime-Systems in the CMS Landscape Configurator:
    - Development
    - Consolidation
    - Production
    The central Build of the CBS was now successful.
    My 2 Standard-SCs (SAP_BUILD_TOOL_730, J2EE_ENGINE_FACADE_730) and my Activity are now in queue of the consolidation system.
    When I click on the tap "Development", there is nothing (that's clear, because I have already checked-in my 2 SCs in the Development System).
    Now: Can anybody explain me, how I can deploy my Application (JSP) on Development-System ?
    I thought, it will be deployed automatically after the successful build in the CBS, but it isn't so

    Hello John!
    Thank you very much for helping.
    I have deployed my JSP-Site successful:)
    For all the others:
    1) After successful Deployment by the CBS, you have to wait some minutes, then your application gets depoyed automatically on your specified Runtime-System in CMS -> Landscape Configurator
    2) To check, if you have configured your Runtime-Systems correct, please go to:
    - CMS -> Landscape Configurator -> Track Data -> Runtime Systems
    - Type In: Deploy Port, Deploy Port, Deploy User, Deploy Password (Remember: For 7.3 - Systems, there is no SDM, but a Deploy.Controller)
    - Click on "View/Edit Deployment Substitution Parameters"
    => If you have configured your Runtime-System(s) right, you can see Variable Name(s) and Value(s), which get added automatically
    Best Regards.

  • Issues after Upgrade from Oracle 10.1.0.5 to 10.2.0.5 in Windows Server2003

    Good Morning Good People,
    I have run in to some issues after upgrading my 10.1.0.5 database to 10.2.0.5. Initially after the firtst upgrade from 10.1.0.5 to 10.2.0.0 one has to run Critical Patch set 4 to get to 10.2.0.5. Well after initial up grade everything worked fine. I could connect to the database from within the server as well as remotely through SQL*PLUS client. However, after completeing the patch I'm still able to connect to the database from within the server, but remotely i get the following error:
    ORA-12514 : TNS Listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor.
    I also get Error ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor The Connection descriptor used by the client was: (description=(address=(host=mcquery2)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521))(connect_data=(sid=mcquery)(server=dedicated)))

  • Hard Drive dead? - Failed to Issue COM RESET successfully after 3 attempts.

    Hello, i think my 13" 2.53Ghz Unibody (mid2009) MBP's hard drive has had it's last spin. I was using it normally in bootcamp, when windows7 froze, so I rebooted holding the power button....windows wouldnt start any more...ok, so i tried to boot into OSX...stuck at the loading screen with the apple.
    Went into verbose mode and it stops at "Failed to issue COM RESET successfully after 3 attempts. Failing..." Google says this has to do with the hard drive.
    Did a extensive hardware test (boot + D), all OK, booted from install disk and tried to run disk utility, but it crashed when trying to locate the drives (didn't even list the drive on the right pane). Single User mode wont load either, will give the same COM RESET message. I am literally out of options here.
    Is there something i can do to either fix this or verify 100% that my hard disk is truly dead?
    I have a backup in timemachine so the data is ok, but the timing couldnt be worse, i have no time to fix this now and needed a working laptop, highly frustrating.
    thanks for any tips

    Welcome to the Apple Forums!
    Your HDD is probably dead, since the error doesn't appear to indicate something wrong with the motherboard. Just buy a new 2.5" HDD. I don't know about prices in Brazil, but here in the US, a 1TB drive runs for around US$100. Also, check on eBay for people who upgraded their drive and are selling their Apple drive. Some will ship to Brazil, and you can score those for $50-100.
    I hope you backed up your hard drive. If not, you'll have to do the whole reinstallation process.

  • Failed to issue COM RESET successfully after 3 attempts. Failing...

    Just in case anyone else has this problem, and wants to claw their eyes out.
    I upgraded the Hard Disk in my MacBook Pro about four days ago (the new MBP, summer 2009 with SD card). I installed a Hitachi Travelstar 7K320. It worked awesome for about four days, until I went to run the EFI Firmware Update this morning.
    My machine stopped booting. I held Command-V to get the verbose boot output, and eventually got the message: Failed to issue COM RESET successfully after 3 attempts. Failing... - which is where the boot halted.
    I removed the Hitachi and restored the stock drive, and the laptop now booted fine. I think it's something Apple will have to look into.

    I believe posting relevant facts is productive, & a very relevant fact here is that you are trying to use a drive with an interface (SATA-II) that Apple does not currently support in its laptops.
    SATA-I controllers are supposed to be compatible with SATA-II drives, but many of them are not. The problem is how some controllers implement auto negotiation, which is supposed to tell the drive to fall back to SATA-1 speeds with the slower controllers. Some SATA-II drives have a jumper to force the slower speed if auto negotiation doesn't work; some do not.
    How this compatibility problem came about, & why the jumper is required, is complicated but the short version is that at least four different specification bodies had some responsibility in producing SATA specifications, & not all controllers were designed to the same standards. This includes not just the controllers Apple has been using but those in many PC's as well.
    So I agree that Apple dropped the ball, but not necessarily the way you might think: it should have made it very clear that the firmware update implemented an unsupported interface speed, that it might cause problems, & (most importantly) provided a reversion strategy to the former firmware if it did.
    Hopefully, Apple will take another 'swing' at this & either provide that reversion strategy or a new update that at least allows the controller to work more reliably with the faster interface. But until then, unless your drive has the jumper, my previous suggestion is probably the best you can do.
    BTW, none of the current mechanical drives available for laptops can saturate a SATA-1 bus except for brief bursts from the drive's buffer, so the real loss in performance of running a single SATA-II drive at SATA-1 speeds is almost negligible, something you might notice in a benchmark but not in real-world use.

  • I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies

    I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies. After starting it in recovery mode, it will not allow me to download OS X Mavericks- it says the disk is locked. Any ideas? I do not have a back-up and do not want to erase everything before I have explored my options. Help?

    try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
    most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard)

  • Infinity issues after recent lightning

    Hi All,
    I have had infinity for the last 2 months with very little problems and respectable speeds:
    http://www.speedtest.net/result/2705292208.png
    Unfortunately, the lightning storm the other day killed my modem, router and BT Vision box...all of which have/will required engineer visits. 
    Firstly I believed it was the router, engineer comes to test line and leaves. Router was delivered, I setup router and find modem is not working.  I phone BT again and another engineer has visited, installed a new modem and said there was some issues on the line.  After doing some work outside he comes back and the line appeared OK - unfortunately now my speed has dropped considerably:
    http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/2861279663
    On the first engineer visit, I was told I am getting 80 down and 20 up from my box, which points the issue at the modem & router.  I believe the second engineer has infact changed some of the line settings to ensure the quality but not the speed.
    As i am currently awaiting a BT Vision engineer to visit (rediculous a 3rd visit), please could someone help me on the broadband point.
    Please note, this is not a PC issue and I am fairly technical so have done some trouble shooting.  PS.  I am not on wireless,
    Many Thanks

    Mine got killed by the storm as well. I had 4 power cuts in succession and this sent my speeds write down again and I just had it nice as well!. Went from a nice 25.35MB now down too 23.35MB. I have left it for a while now but no rise. I have turned the equipment on and off but nothing!.
    Please click on pink star to the left and say thanks if I have helped you at all!. Thank you. Home Hub Page- http://bthomehub.home/

  • Help on small issues after WinXP downgrade from Vista

    Lenovo 3000 v200
    I recently downgraded from Vista to WinXP Professional, and I must say I'm much happier with XP.
    Some issues on the install: although I downloaded all drivers from the Lenovo site, the install didn't work from my usb floppy drive.
    It recognized the floppy on the F6 portion of the install, but then later it kept asking for the disk to be inserted (it was already in the drive).  Workaround was to install by changing to "compatibility mode" in the BIOS, and after install, loading all drivers and changing BIOS back to SATA.
    All features of the laptop appear to work perfectly; camera, fingerprint reader, wifi, etc.
    HOWEVER: in the device manager, there are 3 yellow exclamation points in the "Other Devices" section, and each of them is labeled "Base System Device."   Does anyone know what these are?  Why are they not recognized as specific devices?  LenovoCare doesn't recognize them either, and I have no idea what drivers to attempt to install for mystery devices.
    Also, "Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus" won't install.  I have the current driver, and I've tried updating from LenovoCare, but no luck.  As I don't use a modem, this seems irrelevant, but I'd like to install it just the same if possible.
    Finally, the LenovoCare recognized a need to install a "Hotkey" update, and it claims to successfully install, but everytime I run LenovoCare it says I need it again.  Any comments or observations?
    Again, the computer works just fine even with these small issues.  In fact, it is better than fine; it is a joy to use and a real speed demon with XP instead of Vista.  So I'm not trying to do any rocket science or potentially screw up a very nice situation, but I am trying to iron out these small nuisances.
    Thanks to all of you who consider my trivial problems.  I really appreciate having knowledgable individuals like yourselves help out a very modestly skilled, but reasonably ambitious user.
    Cheers,
    Fred

    Hello Fred,
    I created a blog on this forum called.... "I Explain How To Downgrade From Vista To XP Successfully On A 3000 N100 Laptop" Locate this message and read through it. Try the "Auto Detect This System" I Talk about. It will load the latest drivers and the latest...BIOS..... for your particular model if you have not already upgraded it. You did not mention if you had upgraded your BIOS...... if your running an  "OLD" version.... THIS..... could be your problem.
