To clarify something

Once i ge another graphics card, i can put an additional 2 monitors on my computer right? So i could have a total of 4 monitors right?
Will 4 monitors change the way my computer works at all? like slow it down?
should i get more memory?

what should i get and from where?
I'd add two 1GB cards, and without knowing exactly which PM G5, I'll assume it should need PC3200 (DDR400). You'll see a tremendous improvement in performance. I'd leave the two remaining slots open at this time, as 3GB total will likely satisfy you.
The price of RAM has fallen in half since the beginning of the year, so it's a great time to buy. The pricing of original Apple-quality RAM is now about the same whether you buy from Crucial, or instead specifically choose the equally high quality Samsung cards available from OWC. Even including shipping, your cost will be much lower than trying to buy at local stores.
After the big drop, the savings from trying to buy lower quality RAM (someone's always selling lower quality for less) is not great enough to be worthwhile.

    I was under the impression that all newer iPods, when Apple dropped the Mac or PC distinction (say from Photo to current), that they were all formatted for PCs out of the box.
    I ask because I recently sold my 60GB iPod Photo to a PC using friend and it's asking that he reformat it when he connects to his PC.

    Yes, that is correct. I understand that.
    My question was, "aren't all new iPods out of the box formatted for Windows so that one iPod works on Macs and PC's?
    At least that was my impression.
    Just curious.

  • Can I just clarify something

    Although Time machine seems insanely easy to use, there are still aspects of it that do not seem to be explained on Apple's site or help files.
    My situation is that I have a 500g internal disk that I want to back up to an external 1tb disk. So far Time Machine has been running for over 24 hours and has only backed up 117g. Is this normal for a first backup?
    It says that it performs hourly backups (presumably of new and changed files) and complete backups every 24 hours. Does this mean that it will attempt a complete backup of my 500g every 24 hours? With 350g of that drive used my external drive is going to fill up in three days! (Actually, as it will take Time Machine three days to complete the initial backup I'll get a bit longer than that!)
    Seriously, though, why is Time machine so slow? And will it eat my 1tb disk in just three backups?

    If you mean Time Machine has been constantly backing up for 24 hours (i.e. when you open System Preferences/Time Machine, you continually see a partially completed progress bar), no that is not normal. You may want to run Disk Utility on your external backup drive to check for problems.
    Roger Billcliffe1 wrote:
    And will it eat my 1tb disk in just three backups?
    It's impossible to guesstimate how long it will take to fill your external drive due the incremental nature of the Time Machine backups. You will get a warning when the drive is full and Time Machine needs to delete past backups to allow disk space.

  • Trace Files - Clarify Latency

    Hi, just wanted to clarify something regarding the trace files. I am right to assume that the last field, latency, is ignore during playback or does it have a part to play?
    Thanks

    No, the database hang out, and anybody can connect. We had to shutdown abort and startup again, the problem solved but we want to know what happened.
    Thanks by your answer.

  • CS4 Master Collection trial installation blocks CD installation

    Hi!
    I'm  need someone to help me. Here is a description of what happened, when I installed the Creative Suite (CS4) trial and tried to install the full version:
    1) I installed the trial version of CS4 Master Collection from a CD because I didn't need the whole version (or so I thought at that point, I was stupid as seen later).
    2) The installation screen told me I was able to insert the activation key later if I wanted. My impression was that I can do the installation and then upgrade to the full version if I wish.
    3) I run through the installation smoothly. No errors occurred during the installation.
    4) I could use the trial for 30 days after which the version expired.
    5) Then I tried to upgrade to the full version using the CD activation key. Unfortunately, the key didn't work but rather showed a red cross and an error message popped up saying the activation key was "not valid".
    6) My friend told me I should remove the trial version and then reinstall from the CD. However, the same problem also occurred in some other computers, so I believe that's not the only cause of the problem.
    7) After spending some time on internet, I found the following blog dealing with the topic:
    http://sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2009/02/problems-removing-and-installing-adobe-cs4/
    I read some of the messages posted in the blog. I started searching for the cleaning tool  mentioned in the blog, and finally found the tool from Adobe web:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    I would really appreciate if someone with similar experience would tell, whether this tool really works in the latest versions of Windows (Vista, 7 & 8, I have 7).
    I would also appreciate any assistance on the topic.
    I already tested removing the "cache"-file from /C:/Program FIles/Common FIles/Adobe/Adobe PMC/cache/.. My effort had no effect.
    If I really need to install my system again, will I lose all the files on the computer I'm using? I don't want to believe  that. Probably I can store some of the most important files on an USB-memory and still be able to use the Suite when it's installed and the files returned to my computer? I surely need to backup the system on my PC and not the others that were connected to it (any additional backup would be a catastrophe )?
    I'm sorry for all the stupid questions & stuff, but I'm trying to get my message as clear as possible.
    CS4 is an expensive software, so I really need to get it work. Installing the Suite from a CD should be possible because anyone may have  a trial on his PC before buying the full version on CD. That's the purpose of the trial version, I see.
    Thank you for any help!

    Thank you for a fast reply!
    The problem is stated in the title of my previous message: I cannot install the full version because I installed the trial.
    Formatted as a question: "How can I get the CD installed with the original serial number?"
    You wrote: "And where did you actually buy your CS4 license? There's a lot of fakes out there..."
    >The license belongs to my employee. I'm totally sure that the version I'm trying to install is not a fake.
    "Other than that you could simply have used a wrong region installer for your trial and the serial number ranges are not compatible"
    >Could you clarify that more. The Suite has worked perfectly before I installed the trial. The installer only asked me to accept the license agreement and to choose between the trial and the full install. I was not asked anything else.
    "You lose yourself in lengthy descriptions without actualyl ever telling what the problem really is, what the exact text of the warnings/ error messages is, what exact system you are on and so on"
    >I admit my "question" was lenghty and somewhat messy. Here are some more details:
    Country: Finland
    Operating system: Windows 7 (as mentioned earlier)
    Computer: Fujitsu (all requirements of the Suite are fulfilled, as the trial worked well)
    Exact error message: "The serial number you entered is not valid. Click OK to retry entering the serial number."
    Situation: I installed the trial, waited 30 days, and the trial expired. After that I tried to insert the disk serial number.
    Possible solutions: Removing the trial and installing from beginning.
    Internet access: Was ON during the installation.
    The program has installed correctly earlier. Even with the serial number put in the back side of the disk.
    Right now I don't have the information of the place where the Suite was bought (probably the origin is not in Finland). I can find it out on Monday. Possibly it was bought used that would make tracking a bit difficult.
    Please ask if anything is still unclear. I know more on Monday, so if you can specify what information is essential by then, I would appreciate, and come on Monday with the asked pieces of information.
    Hope this message clarified something.

  • G4 MDD/FW800: shut down and restart commands do not work

    Hey all,
    I've done some searching here and on the internet in general and haven't turned up anything useful.
    Suddenly my G4 no longer shuts down when I select "shut down" from the Apple menu. The "Restart" command also does not work.
    What happens is this: The machine goes through the normal process of quitting all apps that are open and then just hangs once there's nothing left (no menu bar, no dock) but the desktop picture. I have to touch and hold the power "button" on my ADC display to shut the machine down.
    The machine is set to start up every weekday at 7AM but does not do this any longer.
    I've run TechTool Deluxe; the Apple Hardware Diagnostic CD (that came with my G4); I've replaced the backup/clock battery; reset the PMU (by pressing the PMU button following Apple procedure). I've re-seated all 4 memory DIMMs. I took out the third-party USB 2.0 card.
    No effect.
    Coincidentally, all this happened immediately after I played Halo for the first time in over a year. My Mac worked fine. Then I decided to play Halo. After quitting Halo the Mac wouldn't shut down via the "Shut Down" command.
    Weird.
    One other note: After running the extended hardware test from the CD, the "Shut Down" button worked.
    Am I looking at an OS issue? I'm dreading having to re-install the OS. I've never had to so this on an OS X Mac. This is the FIRST time I've had any problems with this Mac-- I suppose a trouble-free 6 years is a pretty good run, but I can't easily afford a new Mac right now, no matter how much I'd like to get a new iMac.
    A few details:
    Mac OS X 10.4.11
    2GB memory
    Generic USB 2.0 card
    Additional HD on the 66MHz bus
    Thanks for any suggestions!
    -Brian

    I created a new account with admin access. The "shut down" command didn't work then, either.
    I checked out the activity monitor and syslogd was using 0.00% CPU.
    This is driving me nuts!
    I want to clarify something I mentioned earlier: When booted from the Hardware Diagnostics CD, I was able to shut the machine down by clicking on the "shut down" button on the diagnostics dialog window.
    That makes me thing that something in the current installation of the OS is messed up. (Thanks to Halo?)
    Fortunately the computer and all apps seem to run fine-- I work on this computer all day running Adobe apps. It's just the shutting down at the end of the day that's problematic. My concern is that this is symptomatic of a more serious problem.
    Perhaps reinstalling the OS is the next step?
    Thanks for your suggestions so far-- I greatly appreciate it!

    Hi,
    We observed the following difference in behaviour between JATO pages
    and NetD served pages.
    We have the following scenario. User will login to the
    site. After login he will get a frame set. This frame set has threeframes.
    Top and bottom frames are used for navigation (to switch between various
    sections on the site.) .The middle frame(main frame) shows the actual
    content. When the the frame set gets loaded main frame shows page1. User
    will click on a link on page1. Page 2 will be loaded in main frame. Atthis
    point if the user clicks on back button , with migrated application(JATO
    pages) the following message appears in the main frame.
    In Netscape Communicator 4.61 the following message appears in the main
    frame :
    Data Missing
    This document resulted from a POST operation and has expired fromcache.If
    you wish you can repost the form data to recreate the document by
    presenting the reload button.
    In IE 4.72/5.5 the following message appears in the main frame:
    Warning : Page has Expired
    The page you requested was created using information you submitted in a
    form.This page is no longer available.As a security precaution, Internet
    Explorer does not automatically resubmit your information for you. To
    resubmit your information and view the web page click teh refresh button.
    However, in the NetD site page1 will appear in main frame.
    How do we mimic the NetD behaviour with the migrated
    applications ?
    We think the above behaviour with migrated Apps, is due to the
    headers that are get set in Application ServletBase , see the following
    code snippet :
    protected void addResponseHeaders(RequestContext requestContext)
    // These values should make any proxy between the client and
    // server avoid caching, and ensure that pages from one user
    // can never be seen by another user (if they're cached anyway)
    requestContext.getResponse().addHeader("Pragma","no-cache");
    requestContext.getResponse().addHeader
    ("Cache-Control","private");
    If we comment the above code , we were able to mimic theNetD
    behaviour. Are there any alternatives/thoughts on how to mimic the NetD
    behaviour ?
    Thanks in Advance,
    syam&ravi.
    [email protected]
    [email protected]

    OK, here's what I'm trying to do: We have, like you said, a menu
    page. The pages that it goes to and the number of links are all
    variable and read from the database. In NetD we were able to create
    URLs in the form
    pgXYZ?SPIDERSESSION=abcd
    so this is what I'm trying to replicate here. So the URL that works
    is
    pgContactUs?GXHC_GX_jst=fc7b7e61662d6164&GXHC_gx_session_id_=cc9c6dfa5
    601afa7
    which I interpreted to be the equivalent of the old Netd way. Our
    javascript also loads other frames of the page in the same manner.
    And I believe the URL-rewritten frame sources of a frameset look like
    this too.
    This all worked except for the timeout problem. In theory we could
    rewrite all URLs to go to a handler, but that would be...
    inconvenient.

  • Acrobat 3D functionality in Acrobat Pro

    I am running acrobat pro version 9 and wish to insert a 3D pdf that we have created into a powerpoint presentation.  After looking around the Adobe website I believe that I need some of the functionality included in Acrobat 3D.  However when I download acrobat 3D I am unable to install this as I already have software with a higher level of functionality.
    What would be ideal is a small plugin for acrobat pro that allows 3D pdfs to be inserted into powerpoint.  Although I fear that in order to be able to get all of the features that I require I will have to get acrobat pro extended (which i believe has the Acrobat 3D capabilities)
    Can anyone help me out with this?
    Thanks,
    Rich

    To clarify something in the FAQ:
    Acrobat X Pro includes the ability to embed 3D annotations but only where the 3D model being loaded is in either of the PDF-specified formats; U3D or PRC. In Acrobat 9 Pro Extended you could open a wide range of other formats and Acrobat would translate them into U3D or PRC for embedding (including real-time capture from another 3D model displayed on screen), but the capture and translation feature is now removed and can only be achieved using third-party tools. The software suite from Tetra4D is one such tool for importing different model formats, and there's a recent thread in the Acrobat 3D forum discussing embedding of files from 3DS Max which describes some of the alternative workflows if you don't want to purchase the Tetra4D package.
    Once created, 3D annotations in PDF files are displayed the same in the Acrobat X Family as they were in version 9. You can still navigate the scene, measure things, add markups, play animations, etc.

  • Some questions on the 5800 GPS

    Hi folks
    i am debating at the moment whether to upgrade from my N95 to a N95 8GB or the lovely 5800, i prefer the symbian OS so im glad to stay with these two phones. now i had tomtom 6 working fine on my N95 and i know it will work ok on the N95 8GB but the verdict i find on the interwebs is a bit hit and miss as to whether it will work on the 5800. however i am more interested in the Nokia Maps
    now as i understand this program is included and you can use the A-GPS built in GPS but can you use an external source? i have a BT GPS antenna and would be happy to use this to avoid paying A-GPS charges is this feature still ok with nokia maps? also is it possible to just run the nokia maps through the built in GPS and not using the A-GPS.
    i also just want to clarify something about the maps too, as i understand it comes with the function built in to navigate you point to point but doesnt include voice instruction. you pay extra for that functionaility?
    thanks very much folks id love to give the 5800 a twirl as much as i love the N95 i love to try new stuff
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks! I'm planning to head to the shops tomorrow to get 5800 XM.
    I never actually tried seeing if there was a visual turn by turn navigation on my friends' phones before because I thought there wasn't one. Hmm. Do you mean the "tracking" option? The very early version of Nokia Maps on N95 had that tracking option (Maps 1.x?), but the new ones don't (Maps 2.0).
    Paying for navigation is a bit steep for me after I convert the price to my currency. So I totally understand! I might try monthly though for special events.
    Thanks for the kudos. Do skim through the rest of this board section. You might find your answer since 5800 XM uses Maps 2.0 which is available in other phones too. I learnt a lot of info from here.

  • How to have more than one playlist on the iPOD mini ...?

    This may seem a silly question - after all, isn't it the whole point of the iPOD ? Anyway, with my current setup, I cannot get more than one playlist onto my ipod mini.
    Using Win2000Pro, connecting using USB; there have been lots of other issues involving ' cannot read/write to ipod ' which have been reported on these forums , I started having problems after Apple 'upgraded' iTunes from 4.9 ...ended up with nothing on the ipod at all. Since then a few upgrades and now running iTunes 6.0 (not 6.0.1), it DOES sync with the ipod but does not let me manage the playlists:
    Since my library is > the ipod ( 4 GB model) I cannot use the option ' sync all songs & playlists' , which is what I originally used when the library was < the ipod. At that point I did get ( automatically I think..) a few playlists onto the ipod.
    Howeever, since the library got too big, I have to select 'sync to these playlists only' . I use 1 master list, which works, ( it syncs all the songs to the ipod and I get just that playlist on the 'pod) but any attempt to select another playlist from that dialogue box results in consistent hanging of iTunes, and you have to kikll it in task manager.
    I would have thought that you could simply drag n drop a playlist onto the connected ipod icon (that would be more elegant) but the inteface doesn't allow it..
    Oh and another thing ..why does the syncing tool delete ones on the go playlists from the pod ? I can't even get around this issue by making them manually on the 'pod as they get deleted when syncing.. Grrrrhhh
    Where to go from here guys & gals ??
    Thanks...any tips gratefully received
    Aries/ AMD Windows 2000 Draytek Wireless DSL 2 Mb

    Ok I'll try that, although I did try it earlier when I had iTunes 5.xx loaded, I think.
    As to size of playlists, I have a master (900 songs) that defines what will fit onto the ipod , I then generate all the others as subsets of the master (not of the library)- hence I know they will all fit
    Can you also clarify something for me: the dialogue box we are discussing is intended, I think, so that one can set the automatic synching of certain playlists between the PC & the ipod. Is that the only way one can select other playlists to go to the ipod - i.e. as static once-offs, not synchronised ?
    Apple' docs, I think, are poor in this regard - they assume most ipods are bigger then the users song library and they gloss over the details of this alternate mode of playlist synching.
    Thanks - Nick

  • How to have more than one condition on same column --- using SQL Loader

    Hi All,
    I am stuck with SQL Loader..
    How do I filter records before loading in the table using when clause..
    i should load data only when
    field1 = 'AC' or 'VC'
    field2 is NULL
    i used various combinations in when clause like
    a) when field1='AC' or field1='VC' and field2 = BLANKS
    b) when (field1='AC') and (field2 = BLANKS )
    & similar...
    In all the cases I tried I could not implement OR condition with field1 and null condition with field2
    but my main concern is can we use OR or IS NULL things in when clause of SQL Loader..
    is it possible to check this anywhere??
    any alternate solution u could suggest??
    Thanks

  • How do I use 2 Core Audio devices at the same time in Logic w/out switching

    Hello, I use the Aardvark Direct Mix usb3 as my audio interface for mic and guitar. I just upgraded to Logic Pro 7 today and was hoping someone could tell me how I could use the Built-in Audio Core Audio driver along with the Direct Mix USB Core Audio Driver at the same time without having to switch Core Audio Driver's and than rebooting Logic. It is very frustrating doing that as well as not being able to hear my Logic audio during playback/record mode when I am trying to record via the USB3. WHat can I do? Thanks! If ther are both core audio, why can I not just use both of them at the same time? Why must a switch back and forth? Thanks!
    [email protected]

    THanks everyone! awsome article! Thanks for posting it, nh!
    The weird thing is, once I go up to the Menu and select Open Aggregate Device Editor in the AUDIO/MIDI setup utility and try to add a new Aggregate Device setup (step # 6 from the link), the only audio device available is the "Built-in Audio". What's weird is when I have the main Audio MIDI Setup utility open, every single drop-down menu/tab has the "Direct Mix USB 3 1.0.9.1" device right beneath the "Built-in Audio" option. To me that says that the core audio device is indeed recognized by my computer (obviously since I can record with it using Logic). Can anyone help me with this one? Any suggestions?
    Not that it should matter but, the hardware audio interface that I am using is made by the no-longer-existant company once known as Aardvark. I actually had to purchase a third party Core Audio driver just to have it recognized by OS X.
    This is the website where I purchased my audio driver :
    http://www.usb-audio.com/
    A little more on how this device and it's core audio driver function within Logic . . . (Hopefully this might clarify something I may be screwing up) . . .
    I launch Logic with its default Built-in Audio which allows playback of audio from the app. I than go up to Audio Hardware and Drivers and than drop the flip down Driver menu down to the second option, "Direct Mix USB 3 1.0.9.1." Logic than prompts me that I should try to (re)launch Logic Pro to load the appropriate CoreAudio.. I do that. Now I am ready to record guitar through the Direct Mix USB3, I just can't hear anything (unless I use head phones as an output from the Direct Mix).
    Anyway, you all probably already knew what I meant so explaining that was pointless. But my question is, if the Driver is obviously recognized by my comp in both the Audio MIDI Setup and in Logic, than why won't the Direct Mix device show up as a possibility for setting up an aggregate device? Any suggestions? Thanks!

  • Challenge involving creating a file on GUI & seeing one record at a time...

    Hi,
    If anyone can help me with this project I'd be most appreciative. I'll try and explain the problem the best I can. I'm adding students to a database at a university they're either a Graduate or an Undergraduate. I'm taking in first, lastname's, ssn, & ACT/SAT/GMAT test results. I have a GUI called StudentRecord that has all the JTextFields, JButton's, etc. I'm also writing it to a .txt file called StudentDA. For this I used a BufferedFile reader.
    What I really need is on my StudentRecord when I click the display button I want it to show one record at a time in another JFrame. This other JFrame I named it display. I'm trying to create an instance of JFrame inside of the actionPerformed for StudentRecord but when I click display nothing happens.
    I adding the students with a vector that I'm calling v. I want the Display to read from the .txt file and display one at a time hence next, and previous. I'm going to post the tidbit of relevant code. If anyone can help me you'd be my hero for the day for all time I've tried to get this to work.
    Here's the StudentRecord (GUI) display part:
          public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent event )
         try {
              Display d = new Display(StudentDA.v);
             }//end try
            //catch right here no problems with this..Here's the DataAccess part:
    public class StudentDA{
      static Vector v = new Vector();;
      static String pathName = "a:/Final Project/test1.txt";
      static File studentFile = new File(pathName);
      static String status;
      public StudentDA() {}
      public static void initialize() {
        if (studentFile.exists() && studentFile.length() !=0) {
         try{
          BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new
          FileReader(studentFile) );
          do{
             status = in.readLine();
              if(status.equals ("uGrad")) {
                uGrad u = new uGrad();
                u.setFName(in.readLine() );
                u.setLName(in.readLine() );
                u.setssNum(Integer.parseInt(in.readLine()) );
                u.setACT(Integer.parseInt(in.readLine() ));
                v.add(u);
                System.out.println(u + "inside ugrad");
              }//end if uGrad
              else{
                if(status.equals("Grad")) {
                //same process as uGrad
                v.add(g);

    I'm not really too sure what it is that you are after, but here is some code, that loads up an array with each line of a .txt file, then displays them. I hope you can make use of a least some of it.
    just ask if you don't understand any of the code.
    String array[];
    int i;
    public Test() {
              readFile("file.txt");
              i = 0;
              nextEntry();
         public void nextEntry() {
              Display display = new Display();
              display.show();
         class Display extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
              JLabel label1;
              JButton button;
              public Display() {
                   label1 = new JLabel(array);
                   button = new JButton("OK");
                   getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
                   getContentPane().add(label1);
                   getContentPane().add(button);
                   button.addActionListener(this);
              public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                   setVisible(false);
                   i++;
                   if(i < array.length) {
                        nextEntry();
         public void readFile(String fileName) {
              String s, s2 = "";
              int lineCount = 0;
              BufferedReader in;
              try {
                   in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
                   while((s = in.readLine()) != null) {
                        lineCount++;
                   array = new String[lineCount];
                   in.close();
                   in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
                   int j = 0;
                   while((s = in.readLine()) != null) {
                        array[j] = s;
                        j++;

  • A letter of complain

    Dear Sir/Madam:
    Re: Web order No: W52825845
    On 11th June 2006, I bought a Mac Book Pro (17-inch), model number Z0CP and serial number is W86240BQTJ1 at apple.com.
    Unfortunately, your product has not performed well because the super drive is not functioning. I am disappointed because the product does not work properly, no disc can be inserted into the feeder and I was asked to try more then 10 different disc when I called for technical support .Finally I got a replacement. When I returned home and unpacked the new Mac Book Pro, I found the LCD not balance, I am therefore reported to your company and asking for immediate replacement.
    But I was very disappointed me after our telephone conversations,
    In those conversations a message to me is very clearly are, I was assumed to export your product to china and I was a resident in china and you are not willing to serve a Chinese. And I want to clarify something here, first day a conversation with jack; I was asked who helped me to collect the defective product. I felt so strange and rude about this question; it was not related to my request. I can only query is it asking me who destroyed my notebook, and it was offended me. So I ignored the question, unexpected your agent who represent your company, said bye bye to me and did not gave me enough time to explain to him anymore. Last call with Paul, he continuing asked me the same question, who was helped me to collect the product when I was not in Hong Kong. He was using a very sure tone, told me the P.O.D. was signed is my signature. And very clear claim that I was export the notebook to china, they won’t serve people in china and I am reside at china, even I told him I was in Japan while it’s delivery and I live in Hong Kong, I am not export it to china , and I can show him my passport if needed, I can prove everything’s. The most unreasonable is he was asked me to prove the product was destroyed before delivery. I would like to know, how can I prove it? What’s the service you are providing? I am very sure that not my problem! The package containing the goods appeared to be in perfect condition and because we trust your company so accepted it without question. I felt very not respected and totally loss the trust in your company.
    To resolve the problem, I would appreciate your money back. Please credit my card with the invoiced value. No one more replacement, I had fed up to complain your quality.
    I look forward to your reply and a resolution to my problem, and will wait until 30th July 2006

    Hi Agatha

  • HELP!!! No one answers my posts. Itunes freezes computer

    My itunes has suddenly decided not to let me import anymore. I have tried multiple CD's. It will start importing, get through one or two songs and freeze up the whole computer so I have to cold start it. It does this when i load songs to my folders through Media Player and try to import them from my hard drive as well.
    I have been able to play all the CD's through Windows Media Player just fine. I have unloaded and reloaded itunes. My quick time is up to date. I have turned off all firewalls in an effort to correct the issue.
    Thanks to suggestions from Apple I have tried logging on as a different user, same problem. I have also tried turning off all other processes through msconfig, restarting and am still having the same problem.I am at a dead end. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I am not at all sure I can help with this, but could you just clarify something.
    Does the problem occur while you are ripping a CD using iTunes i.e. importing from a CD?
    Or does it occur when you are adding tracks to your library that have already been saved on your computer with Windows Media player? What method are you using to add files to your library? Describe exactly what you do. Is it just when you try to add several songs at a time or does it ahppen even if you add a single song.
    Is the computer completly unresponsive so that you can't even bring up the Task Manager with ctrl alt del?
    Does your computer behave abnoramlly with any other software?
    AFter you restart your PC, could you look in the error log to see if there is any error reported associated with iTunes.
    Control Panel>>Administrative Tools>>Event viewer. Look in Application.
    In the meantime could you check something which is a real long shot.
    Right click on My Computer. Select Properties>>Advanced>>Performance-settings>>Advanced.
    In the box headed Memoray usage, "Adjust for best performance" should be set to "programs" not "system cache".
    As "Programs" is the default, it is unlikely to be wrong, but strange things can happen if it is.
