What is fastwrite (MB or video card?) and can you disable it any way besides buying s/w? I've looked all through my BIOS and Detonator setup, can't find this anywhere.

MSI FX5200 Infinite loop error

Hi I’ve changed the PSU to see if this was the problem with the infinite loop error I’m getting. The PSU is AMD recommended or that is what it says on the box. How ever I fitted the PSU and re-booted the PC did a few things and them started 3DMARK03 and I was back in the infinite loop.

MS-6390 and Radeon 9200SE "infinite loop" error

I recently installed a radeon 9200SE PCI graphics card, and after about a week of perfect operation I began getting the "infinite loop" error. I've tried every fix I can find and nothing works, and upgrading my motherboard isnt an option since I can't afford it.
Anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this?

tried another pci slot with it?

Infinite loop error after using Java Sun Tutorial for Learning Swing

I have been attempting to create a GUI following Sun's learning swing by example (example two): http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/learn/example2.html
In particular, the following lines were used almost word-for-word to avoid a non-static method call problem:
SwingApplication app = new SwingApplication();
Component contents = app.createComponents();
frame.getContentPane().add(contents, BorderLayout.CENTER);I believe that I am accidentally creating a new instance of the gui class repeatedly (since it shows new GUI's constantly and then crashes my computer), possibly because I am creating an instance in the main class, but creating another instance in the GUI itself. I am not sure how to avoid this, given that the tutorials I have seen do not deal with having a main class as well as the GUI. I have googled (a nice new verb) this problem and have been through the rest of the swing by example tutorials, although I am sure I am simply missing a website that details this problem. Any pointers on websites to study to avoid this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time-
Danielle

um, yeah, you definitely have a recursion problem, that's going to create an infinite loop. you will eventually end up an out of memory error, if you don't first get the OS telling you you have too many windows. interestingly, because you are deferring execution, you won't get a stack overflow error, which you expect in an infinite recursion.
lets examine why this is happening:
in main, you call new MGui().
new MGui() creates a runnable object which will be run on the event dispatch thread. That method ALSO calls new MGui(), which in turn ALSO creates a new object which will be run on the event dispatch thead. That obejct ALSO calls new MGui(), which ...
well, hopefully you get the picture.
you should never unconditionally call a method from within itself. that code that you have put in the constructor for MGui should REALLY be in the main method, and the first time you create the MGui in the main method as it currently exists is unnecessary.
here's what you do: get rid of the MGui constructor altogether. since it is the implicit constructor anyway, if it doesn't do anything, you don't need to provide it.
now, your main method should actually look like this:
public static void main( String [] args ) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
      MGui app = new MGui();
      app.createAndShowGUI();
}// end mainyou could also declare app and call the constructor before creating the Runnable, as many prefer, because you would have access to it from outside of the Runnable object. The catch there, though, is that app would need to be declared final.

Infinite Loop Error - How to Remove?

Only my "home page" will display in WampServer's Localhost, which I am using for my "testing site" in Dreamweaver CS5. All other pages in my website cannot be loaded by IE8 or IE9. Firefox and Chrome report that all webpages (except my "home page" ) have a "Redirect Loop" which prevents them from being loaded, and this is due to links which continuously loop between the same pages.
QUESTION: How can I fix this (without starting all over to build my website)?
I am using dynamic webpages with a template, all of which have the "php" extension. I started with HTML webpages and template, and then converted them to "php". They worked well until some time after I added a Login Form on my home page, with Dreamweaver's "User Authentication" in Server Behaviors. The "login" and "password protected" webpages worked for a while. But now it seems like the "Redirect Loop" error may be related to my "go to page if login fails".
It may or may not be related, but around the same time my Infinite Loop problem started, the "Editable Region" of my home page stopped displaying the formating and background colour in "Design" view in Dreamweaver. However, they do display properly in Dreamweaver's "Live View" and in WampServer's "Localhost".
Any all help will be appreciated.

Thank you for your reply, Nick. I could not find the code segments which you suggested.
I have included a link to show the text in my page, "about_us.php", which is one of the several pages I am having trouble with.
http://www.sunisandsfl.com/text_file_from_about_us_php.html
This is one of my "Non password-protected" pages. When I load "about_us.php" in Dreamweaver's "Design" view, there is an Error Message above the webpage which says, "An unknown error occurred while discovering dynamically-related files." The only files shown in the "Related files" bar are "Source Code", "conndbss.php" (my database connection file), and "main_sunisands.css".
I have not yet uploaded any of my dynamic webpages to my live site (www.sunisandsfl.com).

JCarousel infinite loop error

Hi.
I keep on getting this error when opening the National Geographic homepage:
"jCarousel: No width/height set for items. This will cause an infinite loop. Aborting..."
Everything works fine when opening the same page on Firefox. I've got Safari 5.0.1
I had no problems until a couple of days ago! What happened?
Thanks for your help!

Hi
assuming you've no safari extensions enabled... nor any third party software in Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ or Input Managers/...
start with the safari settings file - Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist
move it to the desktop with safari quit, then try some problem webpages.
No better?
Quit Safari again, move the whole Home/Library/Safari/ folder to the desktop (don't trash it, your bookmarks are in there)
& failing that, try the cookies file at Home/Library/Cookies/cookies.plist also the cache at Home/:ibrary/Caches/com.apple.safari/cache.db

How do I escape a jCarousel infinite loop error?

Using my iPad I went to United.com to book a flight. I recieved a "jCarousel:No width/hight set for items. This will cause an infinite loop. Aborting ..." error message with only and "OK" button to proceed. Pushing OK only leads to the error repeating. Tried everything to escape the page after pushing OK but nothing seems to work. Now I'm in an infinite look with the error message. Relauching safari brings up the same page and error message. How can I tell safari not to lauch this page or to start on some other page rather than defaulting to the last page visitied?

I had they same issue with United. I attempted to clear the cache and it did not help.
This is what I did to exit the webpage
1) Disconnect from wifi connection by turning it off
2) Clear the cache, cookies and history (not sure if this is necessary, but it couldn't hurt)
3) Power off
4) when you turn it back on, launch safari and it won't be able to connect.
5) Kill the window
6) Enjoy web browsing :)

Infinite loop error on modem prefs

I am helping someone with their iMac (still on 10.4.11 and using a modem on a standard phone line - yuck!) The problem has come up if you choose network in System Preferences dialog, immediately a dialog comes up that the prefs have been changed by another application (doesn't say what app). If I click on the ok, the dialog clears and then immediately comes back again and again and again. The only way to get out of the loop is to force quit the preference panel. There doesn't seem to be any other pref that shows this behavior. This has just happened since the latest Tiger Intel security update.
What app caused this message and how can I get rid of it. If they have DSL available in the next few months, there will be a problem of setting up a new network modem with this error message.

Hi everyone,
To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
Try this cure for Security update...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1730909&tstart=0
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Airport Interface...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply
And... a simpler solution may be to just copy all you Lovations in Network Pref Pane, then delete the old ones.
Here's how to make a new Location... copying them is similar...

The Dreaded ORA-01830 error.

The following code snippets (taken from a java server pages program) :
<%! private String timeStamp() {
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy:HH:mm");
return(formatter.format(today));

result in the following error:

Datedeactivated is defined as a 'Date' field in table sites.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by John Haasbeek ([email protected]):
To use a string in an insert, you can guarantee success only by using the TO_DATE function and explicitly specifying the date picture. That is because the default date picture is modifyable in the database init file (initxxx.ora). So do the following:
String myDateString = "20010501";
String myDateFormat = "YYYYMMDD";
sql = "INSERT INTO my_table (my_date) ";
sql += "VALUES (TO_DATE('" + myDateString + "',";
sql += "'" + myDateFormat + "'))";
John H.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
And to use both the date and time it would be
String myDateTimeString = "20010501105801";
String myDateTimeFormat = "YYYYMMDDHHMMDD";
sql = "INSERT INTO my_table (my_date) ";
sql += "VALUES (TO_DATE('" + myDateTIMEString + "',";
sql += "'" + myDateTimeFormat + "'))";
Right?

Bpm collect time infinite loop error

Hi All,
I am doing the BPM pattern collect time scenario. I have an issue. The process is not coming out of the loop after the specified time of 1 minute. The deadline branch is not getting executed. What can be the problem?

I only use Adobe Creative Cloud for Muse... no other option. I have CS 5.5 and am suddenly getting the "you do not have enough access privileges" error and can't save any illustrations. What the hell is going on with Adobe?

shambles,
You could try to reinstall using the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger):
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

The Dreaded message "Publishing Error"

Hi Kablin, Apnewbie, or anyone for that matter,
I recently purchased a MacBook and am new to Mac...
I have read some of the forum comments and have tried to resolve my "Publishing error" message for my first web test page with no avail.
Varkgirls comments and a few other threads suggested various alternatives:
I have carried out the deletion on the .plist file in the Domain - no problem...
I have run a repair on keychain (and not quite sure how Keychain truly works)... I did change access to allow for "all sites"; though when i entered ny password the 'Allow Once' Button was only highlighted instead of the 'Allow always' (why? perhaps you can answer this later).
First Help please - i created a folder "Web" in my iDisk and now it tells me I have no permission rights to rename or delete it. I can access iDisk from the net however there is no icon to delete the new "Web" folder on the internet-window. I am logged on as administrator.
I read Apnewbie notes and followed thorough with moving my test site to the folder called sites on iDisk on the net. Yes, I moved the folder and the index across...
Note the folder 'sites' does not have any other folder inside it as been suggested by the forum that it would contain folders 'web' and inside that 'iWeb'!!!
Second Help please - from safari I next tried the suggested URL http://web.mac.com/motiondreams/iWeb/eddierodgers/Welcome.html
and i get back an error message.
obviously the URL is wrong..
I am using a Macbook and have a full .Mac account; OSX 10.4.8; iWeb 1.1.2
i am directly hooked up to my ADSL2 modem, and will also be checking with my service provider on the firewall, proxy, if any issues exitst.
I reside in Australia so its sure going to be a slow process to get me sorted here. However, I truly would appreciate your help (or anyone who is also reading this)... and thanking you.

HT4718 infinite loop error installing lion internet recovery "Install Mac OS X" window. " Install Failed Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer - Restart"

Hi all,
my macbook pro became extermily slow for some reason, I rebooted it many times and same problem so I decided to reinstall the Mac OS X lion from the internet.
I tried installing lion internet recovery, it downloaded it and restarted. I got the "Install Mac OS X" window. then while installing I got the sad message " Install Failed Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer" and the only botton is "restart". Everytime I restart I gor the same message. Now I am trying to start from the harddisk but I does not show when you start the pc, keep clicking the "alt" botton. It only shows "Mac OS X Installer" and "Recovery HD". What Should I do?
I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Thanks Baltwo.
I could format it and get the back up from time machine but it is not up to date so I want to leave it at last.
I tried to back it up on external hard drive and got an error, tried CCC for back up and error again.
Just wanted to do an update on the subject. Still trying to get it back.

THE DREADED IMAGE BUFFER ERROR - BACK WITH A VENGENCE IN CS4!

Hi
I apologise in advance for bringing up such an old issue - and I know there is a lot on the net about this issue. But I am really struggling having just upgraded to CS4
I have projects that were created in After Effects CS3 under OSX Leopard. After much forum reading and hours of experimentation, I managed to adjust all the necessary memory and cache settings so that I could render and preview my projects easily.
I undersood what was needed and how to adjust the settings if the "Unable to allocate space for image buffer...." error ever returned.
In AE CS3 - it ALWAYS worked.
Now I have upgraded to CS4 and Snow Leopard.
Adobe - in their wisdom - have decided to change the memory and cache settings in the preferences dialogue box. I can no longer adjust the settings as I used to.
No matter what I do - no matter how I change the settings - I cannot render my projects.
Why is this now happening.
I don't need to upgrade my machine (Mac - Intel 2 x 3ghz Quad core - 12 gig memory)
Plus the fact that it worked perfectly in AE CS3.
If anyone knows how to reslove this issue - what settings to play with in AECS4 - I would be so grateful.
Thanks in advance

Regarding the changes to the Memory & Multiprocessing preferences for After Effects CS4: The changes were intended to make adjusting the preferences easier. Most people had a hard time understanding the old preferences.
Have you updated to After Effects CS4 (9.0.2)? There are some problems with Snow Leopard that the 9.0.2 update addresses. Can you tell us some things about the composition that is giving you problems, like frame sizes you're working with and other factors that affect RAM usage?
First, check to make sure that Render Multiple Frames SImultaneously is off and RAM To Leave For Other Applications is set to a very low number. You want to give a single rendering process of After Effects all of the RAM that it can take so that it can render the frame that is giving you the error.
