Trouble with USB2 after XP SP1 (coming from VIA Socket A board)

(This is condensed from a thread originally on the VIA Socket A Based board. I was requested by maesus to move it here asI have an Intel board.)
I have a new 845E Max2 motherboard and installed Windows XP.
I have a USB2 problem after installing XP SP1 - yellow question marks in the hardware manager under "Other Hardware"/"USB (Universal Serial Bus)-Controller".
I tried "Uninstalling" the USB controller as was suggested in the (VIA) forum, but it won't let itself be removed.
When I try "Search for new hardware" it shows a message that an error occurred when installing the hardware, and that the hardware is not properly configured (Code 1). It suggests that I re-install the driver. When I select "re-install driver", I just get another error message. It asks me if I have a CD or disk wit drivers, but I can't find anything appropriate on the driver disk I got with the motherboard.
I'm sure USB is enabled because I'm able to operate USB devices using both the standard board rear sockets and those on the extra bar. I have a HP USB Scanner and a PenCam, both of which work OK.
In the Devicew Manager, under "USB", there are three USB controllers and three USB Hubs noted, all designated as operational.
I assume that the "unknown" device which is causing trouble is the on-board USB 2.0 controller which is supposedly supported by MS Win XP SP1. For this reason I can't find a suitable driver to load - maybe there's one in the SP1 somewhere but I have no idea where to start looking for it. (I even tried re-installing the SP1, with no positive results.)
I sent a direct enquiry to MSI's support desk last week but, up to now, have had no response.
Has anyone an idea where I should start looking for a driver? I tried the MSI driver CD I got with my board, but couldn't find anything suitable.  Or any other advice how to solve the problem?
Regards Steve

Hi again!
Tried the procedure suggested by the (fairly recent - I think March or April 2002) "Lockergnome"  WinXP tip(Sorry I don't have  a reference now, but this is my work machine and I don't have Lockergnome archive installed) and it seems to work - at least I no longer have an "unknown" device with yellow question marks in the device manager, and I DO now have an "extended USB 2" device in device manager  under "USB", in addition to the 3 standard MoBo  USB ports and 3 USB hubs I had up to now.
The trick was that XP's Driver installation routine was saying my USB2 driver data were "invalid". In fact, it was just that certain PCI registry permissions were set to "read-only" for administrators, instead of "full-access". Opening up the permissions with regedit, then re-installing the USB driver seemed to do the trick.
If I still have USB2 problems, I'll post them but I hope I've cured this one. I'll also post the reference to the Lockergnome article when I get home.
Regards
Steve

  • Trouble with wifi after IOS 6 upgrade

    I have an iPhone 4 and successfully installed iOS 6 today.  I am having trouble getting on my home wifi.  When asked to join my network, I click on it and type in my password.  Shortly after typing in my correct password an apple.com login page loads from the bottom of the iPhone but says "hmm, the page you're looking for cant be found".  The only option I have is to push cancel and then it ends my wifi connection with my own home network.  Help please.

  • Trouble with safari after updating SL 10.6.8

    I updated my OS last night to 10.6.8  and today, in Safari I find that I cannot view amazon.com  When I open a page, much of it is blank.  Anyone else having trouble with amazon after updating to 10.6.8?
    michelle

    (This is a copy of my post in this thread.)
    I updated to 10.6.8 too, was suddenly unable to print to my before perfectly working printer (an HP Color LaserJet CP1515n hooked up to an AirPort Express), and started scouring the web for solutions. The more I tried, the more disappointed and frustrated I became. Then I came here, read about a possible solution in this very thread (the disk image 'Repair10.6.8.dmg') and became hopeful again.
    But alas...
    Sadly, this isn't working for me at all. I ran the script that supposedly fixes the print problems introduced in 10.6.8, but the print jobs still all pause the printer and fail with a 'broken pipe' error. It has nothing to do with the USB cable, as I can print just fine with the printer directly hooked up to my Mac wit that very same cable. I reinstalled the drivers, updated my printer's firmware, ran the repair script twice just to be sure, reset the printing system, even deleted all preference files with 'hp' in the name and having to do with printing, restarted my Mac. All with no result.
    Man, this is so frustrating! Anybody with any other suggestions or possible solutions?

    if you don't have a dataplan and rely on wifi for internet that is how it works
    if you do have a dataplan it sounds like it's not set up correctly in which case you should contact your carrier

  • Anyone have trouble with IPad3 after installing OS6.1.3?  keeps crashing

    Anyone having trouble with iPad3 after installing OS6.1.3?  Mine keeps crashing.

    Mine seems to be just fine. 
    Try a reset,
    Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad  will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • Transient attribute for a view object coming from a socket

    Hello,
    I'd like to create a readonly table (based on a view object without a backing entity).
    Some columns are coming from a table and some other columns (based on the table key) are coming from a socket.
    The problems is that the additional columns are all returned at once by the socket (to avoid calling it for every field and killing our network) and then stored in a java bean.
    So i'd like to make the call to the socket once for every row of the table.
    Do you know in which method of the View object should i make the call (maybe I should do this at the Row level ?)
    Do you have any idea ?
    thank you
    -regards.

    Hi,
    you can try the follwing
    In the bindings of your jspx page you can see iterators defined under "executables". set the "*CacheResults*" property of the specific view object iterator that contains the transient attribute to false.(The default value is true).
    Example:
    <iterator Binds="EditWorkflowNodesView1" RangeSize="25"
    DataControl="AdministratorAppModuleDataControl"
    id="EditWorkflowNodesView1Iterator" CacheResults="false"/>
    Regards,
    Priya.

  • Trouble with 10g after Installing Grid Control

    Main problem: after installing Grid Control and rebooting, I can no longer access my databases.
    I have 10g installed on a fairly decent Windows XP machine. It was running okay, but I had two Oracle database instance processes running at 200mb of RAM each (of a total of 1 GB of RAM), so it was a bit bogged down, as is to be expected when running Oracle as a server on Windows.
    I then installed Grid Control, which seemed to go okay, and another database as well. But once the install completed, and I gained access to the Grid Control version of the OEM for the first time, that's when things got wacky. Connecting to any OEM instance started taking anywhere from 2-10 minutes, everything was bogged down considerably, etc. I tried shutting everything down and rebooting, but now things are worse. OEM is timing out and not finding servers, listener is timing out, etc. I've tried manipulating a few things in Net Manager (I noticed that my LISTENER section didn't seem to contain any data at all, and my databases weren't listed in there either) with no result.
    I've also had trouble with "host credentials" and being able to administer the databases within the OEM, even after implementing a fix I had found to add my user name to a "log on as batch job" local security policy.
    Finally, I noticed that after installing Grid Control, when I run "sqlplus", I now see "Oracle91 Enterprise Edition" instead of the "Oracle10g" it used to show (and I never had anything but 10g installed on this machine!).
    Here's what happens when I try to access my dBs:
    -When I try to launch the OEM connected to any of the 3 databases I created (which were previsouly running), the browser just times out with "page cannot be displayed".
    -When I run "emctl start <ANYTHING>" I get file/path not found errors, and a file path with both forward and backward slashes (starting after the "agent" directory):
    C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\agent/<...etc.>
    -When I try to test a connection to a service in Net Manager, I get this error:
    ORA-12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable
    I had to manually add my listener info and databases info(under Service Naming) in Net Manager, but everything appeared fine in Oracle Directory Manager (unfortunately, that doesn't help much, since this is just a general info tool).
    I am nothing near a DBA and my knowledge is limited, so I apologize for not being more consise, but I'd be glad to elaborate if someone could tell me what they need to know.
    Thank you,
    John

    Yes; thank you both. Although I had 1 GB physical and 1.5 GB virtual memory configured, running Grid Control seemed to completely kill all available resources.
    I have removed GC and its related database and applications, and I can again conncet to my databases via Database Control. Thank you.
    By the way, another issue has arisen, seemingly in the aftermath of installing GC: my OEM Database Control instances now time out after about 60 seconds, logging me out each and every time. I have cookies enabled, but this doesn't seem to be the trouble. Is there a Web setting somewhere that will kick users out of the instance at timed intervals?

  • Trouble with iPhoto after latest update for compatibility with RAW-files

    Hi all, I'm having serious trouble with iPhoto since the latest update for compatibility with RAW-files for digital fotocamera's (version 2.4).
    After connection with the camera iphoto starts up as usual and i can start importing my pictures. So far all goes well. After having imported my pictures (visual with thumbs and so one) and having created an event iPhoto isn't able to show any pictures. Stopping and restarting Iphoto gives a message that there are a number of photo's available that havent been imported yet (!!???). I can choose to import or ignore. Whatever i choose i'm not capable of visualising the photo's.
    Anyone with a similar problem and the solution? Can i remove the update?
    I've tried several camera's all with the same problem.
    thx for any replies
    niki001

    Hi Terence, thanks for the reply (i'll wait with the downgrade for now ;-p).
    I made a small step by step report of my findings:
    1. Attach camera to imac
    2. iPhoto starts up with previews of the pictures (so far so good)
    3. Give event-name and start import ( so far so good)
    4. 'Latest Import'-report all fine, previews ok, check with event : previews fine. All seems well
    5. disconnect camera, stop iPhoto. As far as now all seems normal.
    6. Restart iPhoto : Message 'iPhoto Library contains photo's which havent been imported. Import Y/N?'.!!!???
    7. Option Y : IPhoto imports photo's imported in step 3 in a new event box (shown as a 'black box' on screen). Last made event (step 3) shows up as a black square in overview all events. Double click on event gives empty squares where previews should appear. Double click on photo preview gives large explanationmark on screen.
    8. Drag event-box over screen shows thumbs within square, release event returns to 'black box'.
    9. Shut down iPhoto.
    10. Restart iPhoto jumps back to step 6 as long as i keep answering Y.(Each time creating a new extra 'black box event').
    11. When i now look within iPhoto Library i can find a map Import in which i can find back the last imported photo's from step 3.
    12. Dragging these pictures to my desktop (preview gives no problem at all) and from there back in to iPhoto simply recreats a new 'black box event'.
    13. In step 6 option N gives a message 'creat iphoto Library recovered'. In iPhoto Library map Import has disapeared.
    14.When looking into map 'iphoto Library recovered' i can find my originally iported photo's. However same problem as in step 12.
    I used aperture (trial version) to see wether the problem could be photo-related, but here al goes well.
    So, any idea's???
    thx

  • Trouble with split into clips when importing from camera

    I'm importing old video from mini DV tapes into iMovie. Unlike many other people writing here, I'm not having trouble with the connection between the camera and the computer. That works fine. I click "import" and the video IS imported.
    The problem is, iMovie splits up the video it loads into little clips, some are long and some are less than a second long. Then, when it displays them in the clips window, they are out of order. For instance, the first few bars of a song might be pulled off and be in a short clip near the bottom of the list while the rest of the song is in a longer clip near the top. As a result, I am forced to carefully put them back in order -- like making a jigsaw puzzle -- as I drag them into the project.
    Can I either turn off whatever it is that splits the input into clips (I'd like just one big clip) OR at least could the clips be displayed in the order that they were loaded from the camera so that clips that belong together are next to each other?
    Thanks (and sorry for asking what is PROBABLY a dumb question),
    ak

    The best answer I've found so far to my own question is the post from Randman here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9007098
    As he points out, the problem is that iMovie is splitting and ordering the clips by their "time stamp", but if the video was previously edited (even by iMovie itself!) this time stamp may reflect the time it was edited rather than the time it was filmed. This is especially a problem for clips that have a title or special effect used on PART of it, because the modified part does not show up anywhere near the unmodified part in the list of clips.
    Randman ALSO provides a sort of solution: rename the files themselves. I found this did work. (You rename them so that time stamps in the filename are in increasing order when listed in order by "last modified" which reflects the time they were loaded from the camera!)
    I've written myself a script to do this automatically, but it is a bit of a hack and not really suitable for distribution. But, I suggest that someone with more time and programming experience than I write such a script that would help people with this problem!

  • Trouble with flickering after converting AVCHD files to Apple Pro Res 22

    Hi guys.
    I have figured out that Apple Pro res 22 is the best format for my AVCHD files.
    But I am having trouble with the files after converting them to this format.
    Every 60 frames I have a blurred frame.
    This results in a flickering effect when watching the clip.
    The original MP4 clip (AVCHD) plays fine on the Mac but when I convert is it flickers.
    I have captured a still shot of the frame here
    http://www.willpower.net.au/DOWNLOADS/FrameError.jpeg
    Here are the settings I am using for the conversion
    http://www.willpower.net.au/DOWNLOADS/Error.JPG
    Here is the converted file in Apple Pro Res 22 format with the flickering
    http://www.willpower.net.au/DOWNLOADS/SANY0007.mov
    I'd appreciate any help that you can offer.

    Actually I think I might have found the answer.
    After diggin deaper into the camera manual I have discovered that the setting I had it on "Full HD" actually is interlaced not progressive. Even though tha badging on the camera says Progressive"
    So I think something got lost when converting the files to apple pro res.
    I just shot a 10 sec clip on "Full HR" which is the progressive function and it converted nicely.
    I'll come back to this post after shooting and making a little test movie today.
    Thanks for your help.
    PS. I wonder what codec it actually shoots in. Apparently it is not AVCHD but MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression (I thought that was AVCHD)

  • Trouble with iLife after OS X reinstall

    I am having a hard time understanding what I am doing wrong.
    Last week my system would shut down on restart. I did all I could to get it to work but it would only start in safe mode. After some phone assistance from SOS-Apple. I reinstalled Tiger. I saved my previous applications to the "Prior system" folder and the reinstall helped. I then attempted to merge all my applications back to the new OS but it seems I did something wrong. The iLife applications would not work properly. No iPhoto, iWeb, iDVD, Garageband, nothing!
    I kept getting the following message "To restore the missing files, use the iLife installer to reinstall iLife". It did this over and over even after trying to reinstall. Nothing! I uninstalled all the iLife applications, restarted the system, reinstalled and STILL nothing.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Before trying to reinstall the iLife applications check in the HD/Library/Receipts folder for any receipts for any of the iLife applications and delete them. Also check in the User/Library/Preferences folder for any iLife application preferences. They would take the form com.apple.iPhoto.plist. If there are any delete them along with the iLife applications and then try again.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
