First time to build computer - Need help

Hello, I just finished putting my computer together. It was my first time and I think everything went pretty well. I just finished putting Windows XP on it. However, I have a few questions/problems still:
1) Whenever I turn the computer on it still has a screen with Platinum on it saying tab to post | del to enter bios. Is this normal?
2) After that screen goes away, it stops loading and says "Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP" and I have to make a selection.
3) After I press F1 to continue it says Press<Ctrl+S> or F4 to enter Raid Utility, but I dont have any raid stuff. If i leave it alone, then it enters into XP
4) After XP loads, if I try to goto my computer I get a blue screen. It says MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION on it towards the top. Towards the bottom it says
*** STOP: 0x00000009C (0x00000 and some more numbers). How do I fix this. I don't know if this helps, but I have a 200GB harddrive that was brand new, and whenever I booted with XP CD it said it only saw 131,000+ MB. I said to format anyway, hope that didn't screw me up.
Thanks for the help.

1. It's a normal default setting for the bios screen to show the logo. I personally don't like it, so I turned it off. You can access it in the "Advanced BIOS" page of the bios.
2. Something must be in error to have the system stop booting. The bios only stops on errors. I wouldn't be overly concerned yet though. Default settings on the board make it stop on all errors. It should give you a reason why it's stopping so look at the screen when it stops and tells you to hit F1. That should give you an idea of what needs fixing.
3. Just turn off the RAID function. It's in the "Integrated Peripherals" screen.
4. Could be any number of reasons, checking your memory would be a good first step. As to Windows only seeing it as 131GB, that's probably because you installed with an older version of Windows XP, before SP1. Back then it couldn't see drives bigger then around 139GB. Install SP2 and you shouldn't have a problem. Just make sure that your BIOS sees it as 186GB. That's what 200GB drives usually show up as.

Adding a delay timer in a frame - need help

in flash cs3 using actinscript 3.0 i have a frame that i
loaded text into, i want to freeze that frame so the text stays in
the window for lets say 10 seconds, then it exits and loops
again...is there a snippet of code like sleep(1000); that will
allow me to do that?

1. 10 seconds would be 10000 ms, one minute would be 60000 ms
2. you only need this to execute 1, not 60 times
3. you need an event listener for your timer to call a
function that will direct your timeline to play
4. you need a stop() in that frame.
5. you need the function mentioned in 3.

Time Machine Full! Need help!

I have a FireLite hard disk backup connected via Time Machine and a USB port. I have been informed that the FireLite is full. I'd like to make room by deleting, say, half the earlier backups to make space for new ones. Is there a way to do this?

How were you informed of that? Did OSX tell you that, or some other software?
Most likely, you got the message in the blue box of #C4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum). If so, you don't need to do anything at all.
But if you got the one in the pink box, see the explanation and instructions there.
I'd like to make room by deleting, say, half the earlier backups to make space for new ones. Is there a way to do this?
Ordinarily it's much better to just let Time Machine delete the oldest backups when necessary.
If you're putting other data there, besides your Time Machine backups, that's not a good idea. See #Q3 in [Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule|http://web.me.com/pondini/TimeMachine/TimeCapsule.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
But if you really want to delete some backups, see #12 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).

Time Capsule not working - need help

Hi guys,
I just bought a Time Capsule to replace my Linksys E2000. The E2000 was running fine but I wanted a wireless external HD, which the Time Capsule provided.
So I've set the Time Capsule up with all the same settings for my ISP, which are as follows:
IP address: 121.73.247.68
subnet 255.0.0.0
gateway 121.73.247.1
dns 203.97.78.43
203.97.78.44
After doing all the setup and plugging the ISP internet cable into the WAN port, the Time Capsule light went green.
The problem is I have no internet connection!
I can ping the router (10.0.1.1) but that's it. No DNS server response and no web access. I've fiddled around with the settings for ages and have run out of ideas.
I'm kind of annoyed with Apple - this has definitely not 'just worked'.
As soon as I plug back in my E2000, everything works fine. So I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with my ISP or the cable modem.
Anyone have any ideas?

I found another post on this site (can't locate it now though), but someone else had the same problem and I did something similar to him and I finally got my TC and modem to work together. I unplugged the power and cable from the modem for about 20 minutes total. During this time the TC was still powered and plugged in to the modem. Then before I powered the modem, I unplugged the power for the TC for about 5 minutes, plugged power to TC back, then connected cable on modem followed by power to modem. It miracously worked after that, I didn't even have to change any settings through AirPort for the TC.
I have NO clue why this particular sequence of events worked, but I know I did all of those steps (maybe not in that particular order) and had been unsuccessful.
The post I read earlier used the following steps - Keep the TC connected to the modem the entire time, unplug power for the TC for 5 minutes, then plug power to TC back. Unplug power & cable from modem (can't remember if he left it unplugged for a specific time), then connect cable & power for modem.
The only reason I left my modem disconnected for 20 minutes was because I had read it takes varying amounts of time for the modem to reset. I don't have a reset button on my modem so that wasn't an option for me and calling the ISP to reset my modem didn't work either - I did that twice on Saturday with no success, but I don't remember if I had the TC still connected? I tried so many different things over the last 48 hours, but all I know is the steps above worked for me.
Hope it helps you as well.

WRT54G Access Restriction Time /Day Problems. Need Help!

Hi,
I have a WRT54G wireless router. When I set the access restriction time to DENY everyday from 11:00pm to 6:00am, it displayed that "The end time must be bigger than start time!". It is from 11 at night to 6 in the morning. How else do I set it? I even upgrade the firmware to v4.21.1 but it still does not work with that time setting. I tried to set to ALLOW everyday from 6:00am to 11:30pm and it accepted the settting but it just applied the restriction right away without waiting for the right time (after I enable it, none of the laptops can access internet even its only 9:10pm).. The time in the linksys setup page is correct as well as all my pcs. Please help! Thanks.

The Access Restrictions feature of a Linksys router allows you to limit Internet access on your network. You can deny certain computers’ Internet access or block certain applications and services.
Here is the link for setting up the Access Restrictions on a Linksys router: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=20b29e54474a4a17aff594cb659747ea_4041.xml&pid=80&r...

Please help! This is for a funeral! No time to waste! Need help with an AE template of a photo album.

I am using an AE template project of a photo album where I can just insert my own photos. There are about 6 "page" templates to choose from, each a little different. I used each 1 time. Now, I am attempting to use each page again. The new pics went in fine, but then I realized it also changed the pics in the 1st application of that page template. I tried renaming the 2nd use of the template, but it didn't work.

Are you duplicating footage or pre-comps. Highlighted the clip is meaningless. Assets in the composition panel are either footage or compositions. Footage can be stills, audio, or video. Sorry, but you're attempting to do something without any knowledge of how footage or comps work. If it's footage, then your workflow is flawed. You need to duplicate the layer in the Timeline and then replace the footage in the duplicate by holding down the Alt/Option key and dragging the new footage to the selected footage in the timeline. If it is a pre-comp then you have to add your new footage to the pre-comp, not the footage layer.
Here's what you should do, Show us the main composition timeline and a mini flow chart with the properties of your problem layers revealed. Just select them in the timeline and press the U key twice. Since there are millions of ways to create a slideshow we can't possibly know what to tell you to do without seeing the composition and the timeline and the flow chart. There are hundreds of slide show templates on the web, most from well meaning but inexperienced folks trying to improve their standing in the AE community. Most don't have sufficient documentation, and most that I've looked at are a real mess to customize. Without knowing exactly where you are starting from we have no idea what to suggest except that your workflow is wrong and you need to make sure that every layer in the project is unique.
If it were me and I had access to Lightroom or iPhoto I would throw the stills in one of those apps and generate a slide show, That will take about 10 minutes. Render that and then when that's done, either import it into Premiere Pro to add titles. Then, when that's done and I've covered myself for offering to produce the video, I would move into After Effects and try and figure out how to do more of a custom job. One more hint, if the Photos are all much larger than your HD comp then you should batch resize them. All still images in an After Effects composition should be at or near 100% scale at some point in the project, or if 3D layers not closer to the camera than the Zoom value of the camera. At no time should still images be sitting still in a composition with a scale value of more than about 130% or closer to the camera than 60% of the zoom value.

Upgarding RAM. need help identifying my MacBook's generation...

If i go by the specs mentioned here the generation is 6 but my MacBook's model identifier says 5,1.
Can someone explain. Also, why does it list only 4 Gb option (2x2gb) for generation 6?
Neerav

MacBook 5,1 is the 6th generation MacBook. Apple officially supports only 4 GB RAM (2 X 2 GB modules). But it actually works with 6 GB (one 4 GB module and one 2 GB). Anything beyond that doesn't work. The processor supports more than 6 GB, the motherboard supports it, but Apple has disabled it in the EFI. So if you really want more than 6 GB then look for EFI hacks (which I strongly oppose).
Good luck.

I need help disentangling gmail and Thunderbird

The article "Thunderbird and Gmail" would be very helpful if I were setting up my email from the beginning. but I set it up a long time ago and I need help straightening things out. The folders at the left hand side of the Thunderbird screen are very confusing: Can I send a screen shot of them? I will send it if you will tell me how. There's something called "All mail" and I have no idea what is supposed to be in that folder. Some times when I expect to receive an email I find it in "All mail" but it is not in the Inbox.
If I can somehow wipe everything clean and start over without losing all the information that's in my computer now I probably should do that.
Please help.

Google creates those folders. Who better to explain them than Google.

- I suspect that he went to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. For 1G or 2G iPod that can take hours and it will likely stall out if not connected to a charging source.
Try the following:
- A reset.
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.
- The connect to computer and try to restore via iTunes.
- Id something is still showing onthe screen, disconnect from computer/charging source and let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour, Try the reset and restore.
- If you can turn the iPod off, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovey mode:

Need help with ram on bootcamp

hey guys i need help with getting more ram on the pc side of bootcamp.
it says i have 1.99 of ram on the pc side
then on the mac i got this
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
wanting to know how to get more ram over to boot camp

Rodney:
You cannot physically or via software add/move RAM from OSx side to Windows side. This is because you run Leopard and Windows separately and therefore when one is running the other is not active. The only thing that controls how much RAM Windows sees/uses is determined by the type of Windows you have installed (32BIT or 64BIT). Please do not confuse that with Gigabytes of RAM or disk space.
32BIT Windows has a maximum limit of 3GB of RAM (it often uses only around 2GB of RAM when it is sharing the system RAM with your video card. I believe this is the case with you.
64BIT Windows will be able to sees/use all of your 4GB of RAM.
Leopard sees/uses all of your 4GB of RAM.
If you have installed Windows XPSP2 and it is working properly on your boot camp partition then I can assure you that it is the 32BIT version.
FYI - The only time that one can select/decide how much RAM Leopard uses and how much RAM Windows uses is when one is running Windows as a Virtual Machine under software such as Fusion or Parallels. I have assumed that you are running windows on a boot camp partition (from your posts) and therefore this does not apply to you.

Need help. I am running a 27 in imac with 16 gigs of ram. Photoshop runs really fast, except when opening files. It takes 5-10 minutes to open even a small file of 1 meg. I cleaned and validated all the fonts and removed all questionable fonts. Reset preferences and still have problem. Slow to open and in force quit "Photoshop not responding" At this point should I uninstall and start over.

What are the performance Preferences?
