Tip for Loading Promise Drivers

I've been working on my new KT6 Delta FIS2R machine and experiencing a real problem regarding the Promise drivers into Windows 98. Whenever I would load the Promise drivers and reboot, Windows 98 would hang in DOS Mode after the Windows Splash went away. As I noted in a previous post, I tried all sortrs of tricks, including copying only the Win 98 drivers onto a floppy and loading from it. Nothing worked. Every time the system hung after loading the Promise drivers, rebooting in Safe Mode would allow me to remove the Promise drivers, but the process always screwed up Windows initiation, and I always had to reformat thge disk and do a fresh install from scratch.
Finally, I decided to do something really different. Instead of just going down the menu of the MSI install disk, starting with the Via 4-in-1 dreivers, going on to the USB's, etc., I tried loading the Promise Drivers before anything else, even the 4-in-1's; and, voila! The Promise drivers loaded and the system reboots fine.
Since I had had some fleeting difficulties, sometimes, loading the Via SATA drivers, I selected that item second, and thgey loaded fine, also.
So, if the Promise drivers are giving you problems after loading, try loading them absolutely first into a new install of Windows.

BTW, I have also been having a problem on the same machine, installing the drivers for a Linksys PCI wireless network card. I would get a error message that one of the DLL's that Linksys provides couldn't be loaded by the application when I clicked on it. So, I installed the Linksys software third; and, everything went fine.
I can't say for sure, but I suspect that all of this relates to some subtle conflicts with the 4-in-1's, which, BTW, loaded fine as the 4th item in the sequence.

  • Tips for loading Microsoft OfficeMac 2008 onto my imac?

    Just bought Microsoft Office (home and student edition) 2008. I would like to know if there are any hints to loading this on my imac that would avoid problems down the road.
    Easy, not very adept at this.

    Hi Linda,
    Not sure this discussion is the best place to get an answer since it is not a Windows related question.
    Nevertheless, there is one thing not to miss : restart your Mac after applying each of the software updates, which you would be better off downloading from http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx than letting "Maicrosoft auto-update" perform.

  • Promise Drivers for 64Bit?

    Where Can I find the drivers for my Promise controller for Windows XP 64bit? Ive tried searching on this fourm and PlanetAMD. No LUck

    Hi Jocko
    OK, I'll try explain (and remember!)
    First I installed XP32 on the lone SATA drive. No problem as it was the only drive.
    Then I added an old PATA drive, which BIOS and Windows Setup always sees as Disk 0 and the SATA as Disk 1.
    I then installed XP32 onto the PATA drive. No problem, I think it was because Windows saw it as Disk 0 as it put the MBR in the right place.
    I then put Server64 and XP64 on the PATA drive to test them (leaving by day-to-day install safe on the SATA drive. Again, no problems, it updated the MBR correctly to let me multiboot between the 3 OSes on the PATA drive.
    I then tried to add an install of XP64 to the SATA drive, but because I left the PATA drive connected, Windows setup updated the MBR of the PATA drive instead. On subsequent reboot it failed because it was pointing to the wrong drive (I think). So I had half an install on the SATA drive, and a boot.ini on the PATA which pointed to a non-existent half installation. Even with BIOS listing the SATA drive as the boot device, each time the PC restarted it tried to carry on the installation and of course failed.
    That's when I had to refer to my book on Recovery Console...
    So it seems that if multiple drives are installed, it will update the MBR on the lowest ID drive, which is not necessarily the drive the installation is actually going on to! I think!  

  • Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers?  I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive.  All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro

    Hi Everyone,
    Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers?  I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive.  All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro.
    The bootcamp drivers have been downloaded from apple's website.  Filename:  BootCamp5.0.5033
    I have a iMac 27" late 2013 model.
    NOTE:  I have downloaded the drivers manually from apples support site as the bootcamp wizard fails third of the way through the download.
    Appreciate any assistance.
    Regards,
    asdutoit

    There is a missing point in this thread, and it is that the Boot Camp drivers for the Late 2013 iMac can only be downloaded from Boot Camp Assistant. The Boot Camp drivers available in the Apple site are not compatible with that iMac.
    Delete the Boot Camp drivers from the USB drive, open Boot Camp Assistant and try to download the Boot Camp drivers again. If you get a message telling you that they could not be downloaded, I would try reinstalling OS X through OS X Recovery, by holding down Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up

  • Tips for when your webcam is not detected

    EDIT:  If you have recently upgraded to Windows 8 and are experiencing this issue please read this document.
    Here are some tips for resolving a webcam not detected problem.  I see this question get asked a lot so here are the steps you should take to resolve the issue.
    To begin you should make sure the device is being detected by Windows.  The following instructions are for Windows 7, but should be very similar for Windows Vista and Windows 8. 
    Option 1: Check Device Manager to make sure it is working properly.
    Click your Start button, type “Device Manager,” and press Enter.
    Once Device Manager loads click “View” and then “Show Hidden Devices.”
    Locate the “Imaging Devices” section.
    Note whether you see the webcam here.
    If the webcam is listed, right click it and verify that it is not “Disabled.”
    If webcam is listed and not disabled, move onto Option 2.  If the webcam is not listed you will move onto Option 4. 
    Option 2:   Allow Windows to Re-install the device.
    While still in Device Manager right click on your webcam and select “Uninstall”
    If prompted select “remove driver and driver package.”
    Reboot your notebook and allow Windows to attempt to reinstall the webcam.
    If Windows detects the webcam verify the functionality of the webcam.
    If Windows does not detect the webcam and install it move onto Option 3.
    Option 3:  Manually install the drivers for your webcam. 
    Use this website to determine your product/model number. 
    Visit the HP Support Page and use this product number to visit your product’s specific page.
    Go to “Drivers and Software” and locate the driver for your webcam.  NOTE: the drivers for the webcam are sometimes bundled with the YouCam software.
    Download and install this driver.
    Reboot the PC.
    Verify functionality. 
    Option 4:  Manually re-detecting the hardware.
    Disconnect all external devices.
    Shut down the notebook.
    Remove the battery and AC power.
    Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds.
    Reinstall the battery and AC power.  Then turn the notebook on.
    Once Windows is loaded go back to Device Manager.
    Selection “Action” and then “Scan for hardware changes.”
    If Device Manager detects the hardware allow it to install.
    If Device Manager does not detect the hardware see Option 5.
    Option 5: System Restore and System Recovery. 
    This is outlined very well in this document.  Note that any data that is not backed up prior to a recovery will be lost.
    Options 6: Repair or replacement.
    If none of these solutions have worked for you it is likely that you are experiencing a hardware failure.  It is possible to replace the webcam or reseat a loose ribbon cable.  However, this is one of the more difficult repairs on the notebook.  If you would like to attempt this repair you can visit your notebook’s support page and navigate to the “Manuals” section.  There is normally a “Maintenance and Service Guide” for the notebooks, this will cover the disassembly of the notebook.  You can then use HP Parts Surfer to locate the part for your notebook.
    If you do not wish to attempt a repair yourself you can inquire with HP about a repair.  For customers in the US/Canada you can call 1-800-474-6836.  If you’re not in this region you’ll need to visit HP’s Support Site to get your area’s contact information.

  • Tip for ALL Graphics cards running under Windows

    PLEASE STICKY THIS
    This is a really useful tip for anyone running windows ME or XP.
    It doesn't matter what card your installing and it really helped me out once.
    Use System Restore
    System restore is a simple utility Microsoft came up with for things like registry changes or putting new hardware/software in.
    All you have to do is:
    1. Set up system restore to monitor the hard drives or partitions you want it too. This can simply be done by going to start>all programs (or program files)>accessories>system setup>system restore. Once the window has opened choose system restore settings and from here you can change what hard drives are monitored and how much disk space restore can use.
    2. Before you make a change to your card (whether it be drivers or putting a card in) open up system restore as in step '1' but choose create restore point. The system may hang for a minute then you will be told a restore point has been made.
    3. Now any change you make to anything to do with the operating system will be noted by windows and the unchanged vesion will be kept in that hard drive space you specified in step '1'
    4. Should the drivers screw up your system you can boot in safe mode (by hammering F8 between POST and OS loading screen) and when a dialog box comes up saying you have started in safe mode choose to run system restore.
    NOTE: BIOS changes can NOT be undone in system restore, and if your computer won't boot at all your  ed!!!
    System restore should not be used if your computer is running ok, or if you can resolve the issues by changing drivers, using system restore can bring back spyware, viruses and trojans! If there is a power failure or your PC crashes when running system restore yu may need to format your hard drive.

    Most video driver related problems can be solved by uninstalling the old drivers, rebooting, and cancelling the "found new hardware" dialog before running the new driver installer.

  • Tips for blue screen (BSOD) errors with Windows Vista and Intel Turbo Memory on X61/X61s

    Important note: The symptoms and solutions described below address only a small subset of the possible causes for blue screen errors, aka BSOD.
    This information can help address blue screen errors specifically
    related to Turbo Memory, but may not solve errors related to other
    issues. Please read through the instructions completely, make sure they
    apply to your system, and after attempting the solutions please post
    back with your feedback for the community.
    Some users may experience random blue screen errors with ThinkPad
    systems running Windows Vista with Intel Turbo Memory hardware. These
    blue screens may occur during normal usage on the system or they may
    occur when booting into Windows Vista. Blue screens related to the
    Intel Turbo Memory hardware may reference a stop code of 8086 with
    memory address locations of {0, 0, 0, 0}.
    There are two main steps that you can take to help resolve blue screen issues related to Intel Turbo Memory.
    Step 1: Update Intel Turbo Memory Driver
    If the driver version is before version 1.0.1.1004-7.0.3.1001, please
    update to this version.
    To determine what version of the Intel Turbo Memory driver is installed:
    1.    Click Start, then click Control Panel.
    2.    Click System and Maintenance.
    3.    Click System.
    4.    Click Device Manager.
    5.    Expand the Storage controllers category.
    6.    Double-click Intel Flash Cache Logic Chip.
    7.    Click the Driver tab. Then you will see the driver version (for example, 1.0.1.1004).
    The new driver and installation instructions can be found here.
    Note: The Intel Matrix Storage Driver is updated with this package.
    Step 2: BIOS version
    If your BIOS version is older than those listed below, please update to the version listed.
    How to check your BIOS version:
    Turn off the system.
    Turn on the system.
    While the To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button message is displayed at the lower-left area of the screen, press the F1 key.
    The
    BIOS Setup Utility menu will be displayed. If you have set a supervisor
    password, the BIOS Setup Utility menu appears after you enter the
    password.
    Check BIOS Version and Embedded Controller Version.
    Turn off the system.
    System BIOS versions:
    ThinkPad X61 or X61s - BIOS version 1.06 (7NET25WW)
    Please
    remember that these updates do not solve every possible system blue
    screen, but they do resolve several problems related to the Intel Turbo
    Memory driver.

    X60 Tablet SXGA+ primary, Z61p fully loaded workhorse

    Dear Tim,
    First off, many thanks for the tips for resolving BSOD with Vista + Turbo Memory on X61.  I've been suffering from this BSOD for countless times since I bought in my X61 7673-CW9 in April 2008.
    Even prior to having the pleasure to visit this wonderful forum, I followed both steps as indicated, and updated my Intel Turbo Memory driver to 1.5.0.1013 and my BIOS to 7NETB4WW (2.14).  However, the BSOD recurrs.
    For the past two months, I've recovered my system to factory default settings using Rescue and Recovery for over twenty times, each time with the latest Intel Turbo Memory driver and BIOS.  Notwithstanding that, BSOD recurrs.
    During these painful experiences, I tried two options: 1) making my X61 up-to-date by using System Update and Windows Update (including Vista SP1 or excluding Vista SP1); 2) keeping my X61 the status as factory default (i.e. without updating through either System Update or Windows Update (the automatic/scheduled update function of both is turned off)).  In either case, BSOD recurrs.
    I'm 100% positive that the BSOD does not arise from any hardware or software/firmware I install.  I never install any hardware (e.g. RAM).  And, it is not caused by any software/firmware I install: the clear and unequivocal evidence is that at one time,I encountered BSOD while having restored back to factory setting and booting for the first time.
    I live in Taiwan, and I seldom heard this BSOD here.  All of my friends (as most of Taiwan residents) using X61 operate in Traditional Chinese environment, whereas I operate in English environment.  In Taiwan, when booting for the first time after purchase/recovery, the Windows Vista Business system provides for lanuage choice (Traditional Chinese or English), and, once chosen, the language cannot be altered later on (unless, of course, the system is restored back to factory default settings).
    My system specs are the same as the day I purchased it and are listed below (as I'm not sure if my machine type X61 7673-CW9 is applicable outside Taiwan):
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.4GHz
    Memory: 1.00 G.B.
    System: Windows Vista Business (32-bit)
    Hard Drive: 160 G.B. @ 7,200 r.p.m.
    And, of course, with Intel Turbo Memory 1 G.B.
    I contacted the Lenovo support staff here in Taiwan for countless times, but they seem to be clueless.  I learned that some friends at this forum downgraded their OS back to Windows XP, but I chose not to.  The reason is simple: my purchase price for X61 7673-CW9 includes the Intel Turbo Memory, which cannot function under Windows XP (at least so far).
    Therefore, I just wish to share my experience here and perhaps I can get some advice from you and other friends here.  Any advice will be tremendously and enormously appreciated.

  • Tip for Bose SoundDock 10 Remote to play Aux input from Logic (or other)

    Here is tip for live performance.
    If you are using a Bose SoundDock 10 for playback in a live setting (where you want to minimize awkward public HiFi system tweaking) here is a tip.
    The Bose SoundDock 10 plays plugged-in iPods (I use a Nano; 4th Generation) AND has a simple auxiliary in 1/8" port. But there is neither a volume nob NOR a volume meter for the Auxiliary signal.
    So.. in the process of trying to create a predictable consistent output level
    I experiment to see wether I should
    a) Count increment clicks from zero,
    b) Count increment-hold-seconds from zero,
    c) Use the iPod's volume level meter.
    Wow! the iPod's level WILL set the auxiliary signal!! Yea!!
    Problem: while toggling back and forth between
    1) iPod-input to SEE and SET level by sight, and
    2) Auxiliary-input to test the level by hearing,
    you will inadvertently expose your set-up audience to load, undesired music.
    This is because of a limitation of the Bose SoundDock remote control’s toggling behavior. You see, even if you PAUSE the undesired music before toggling from the iPod-input to the Auxiliary-Input, UPON TOGGLING BACK, to the iPod-input the Bose SoundDock remote AUTOMATICALLY DE-pauses. This, then subjects you and your unsuspecting audience to an annoying and distracting snippet of the least objectionable song you can remember to que up!
    For that reason I suggest creating in Logic a "Sound of Silence" Song and exporting to iTunes.Thus, no iTunes library (or professional musician's iPod) is complete with out a 3 minutes of silence file for balance, check, and normalizing etc. Don't forget to attach a remember artwork.
    You could also you this track on memorial day or at funerals.
    Good luck.
    See upcoming video of the whole thing at TheEnchantedPiano.net

    I greatly enjoyed Philip Norman's Lennon biography. He said Ono changed her mind about endorsing the book because (according to her) Norman "had been 'mean to John.' " Norman does say some candid things about Lennon's behavior as a parent.

  • Debugging Tips for Mapping and Validation modules

    Hi,
    I am new to CRM, anybody can send the dubuging tips for  Mapping and Validation modules and the list of tables which I have to check before loading.
    (Intilal load & delta load)
    Regards
    KHM

    KHM,
    The first thing you need to make sure is that all queues are deregistered on both systems.  Check the settings in SMQR and SMQS on your systems.  The next step is that your middleware connection user must be a dialog user in order to debug the middleware properly.
    If you have those two steps done, then for an initial load you can actually go into to the queues and debug the entries from each queue.  For a delta load you will need to put a break point in the transaction before the middleware trigger, and then turn on update debugging(if you want to go through the full process).
    The only other key is looking up the correct function modules for the adapter objects to determine what is being called.  Once you know these and have done the steps above you can in general debug.
    Validate the information above in your system and then let me know where you are getting stopped in your debug process.  We can then try to figure out why the debugger is not being called.
    Good luck,
    Stephen

  • Have new iMac OSx10.8.2, and when I connected my Epson Stylus pro3880, loaded printer drivers, and tried to print, the printer utility opens, then crashes. Any ideas? (it worked fine on my last iMac)

    Have a new imac OSx10.8.2, and when I connected my Epson Stylus pro 3880, loaded print drivers, and tried to print, the printer utility opened and then crashed; happened several times. Any ideas? (it worked fine on my older imac)

    I believe so. the driver version I have is 8.64
    The person gave me the instructions to reset the printing system and I followed it. That's what corrected the printing drop down windows.
    I am also having trouble finding the downloaded icc profiles for the papers I use. I see them in the Color Sync Utility, but not in the drop down window for Color Management. There is a thread on this forum relating to that, but I don't understand how to "copy" the profiles and put them elsewhere.

  • Run exe constructed in labview 6i without loaded nidaq drivers.

    Exe is constructed using labview 6i. It would be convenient to install the exe and run time engine on the HDD,
    and execute as a demonstration program, without loading the nidaq drivers.
    No daq card in pc, nidaq would be on CD. Suggestions are appreciated.

    If you want to run an exe without loading DAQ drivers, you will need to ensure that no DAQ calls are statically linked in the final executable. As waldemar.hersacher mentioned, you can do this by using VI server for all your DAQ calls, then calling stub routines if you are using the laptop for demo purposes. It would probably be easiest to put all your DAQ calls into a few subVIs and call those dynamically instead of each individual DAQ VI call. If you miss one, your launch will fail when DAQ is not present (you will get the standard LabVIEW searching for subVIs dialog and then a message telling you that you need the full version of LabVIEW to correct the problem).
    There are lots of ways to switch between the "demo" mode and the "live" mode. A dialog which pops up on startup and is accessible from the menus is the most obvious.
    Good luck. If you need more hints, let us know.

  • Some Tips for Cablecard Users with HBO

    I have been using a cablecard with my Hauppauge DCR-2650 digital tuner and Windows Media Center on my Windows 7 PC for 3 months with no problems on any of the Prime HD channels. I just subscribed to HBO and was not able to access any of the HBO channels, SD or HD. The message "Subscription Required" would appear after a few seconds, along with a message saying I needed to obtain a subscription to HBO. After Live Chatting to 3 techs over 3 days, I was finally able to access the HBO channels. I'm not sure this solution is permanent, but this is what I did. First I updated the firmware and drivers for my Hauppauge device. Then when I Live Chatted with the technician, he performed a "manual cablecard validation". During this process he asked for my cablecard ID, the Host ID, the Data ID and the activation code. He had me switch channels from an HBO channel to a non-HBO channel, then back again. Voila! It worked. So if my HBO disappears in the future I'll be asking for a tech who knows how to perform a "manual cablecard validation".  Now I had my HBO channels in HD, but the picture was flickering a bit, enough to make it annoying to watch. After Googling "HBO HD flicker" I found that the problem was not with the cablecard or Fios, but with the graphics adapter settings. I have an integrated graphics chip on my PC, an Intel 3000 graphics chip. I opened the graphics properties page and in the "Media" category under "Image Enhancement Option" I turned off the "Adaptive Contrast Enhancement" feature. This fixed the flicker. Hopefully this post will help those few who are using a cablecard with their Home Theater PCs.
