Update: Can't load XP on new build

Hi there, I am new to the boards (obviously) and after searching have not found a possible solution to my problem.
This is probably my fourth complete build (still a newb) and I am unable to get Windows XP Pro to install on it. Setup begins to run and installs various files but when setup actually starts to run Windows, I get the good ole blue screen of death with this message:
STOP: 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0xf748e0bf, 0xf78da208, 0xf78d9f08)
pci.sys - address f748e0bf base at f7487000, datestamp 3b7d855c
It is a coporate copy of XP Pro with only SP1 on it and I have had no issues installing it on three other computers (MSI, Foxconn, & ASUS motherboards).
As near as I can tell I have the AMI ver. 1.3 BIOS. Although on the fast boot it states BIOS ver 1.1.0.L61.
If I have left out any pertinent information regarding the problem in either my post or my sig please let me know. Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated.

Remove power cord from the PSU and >>Clear CMOS Guide<< and "LOAD BIOS OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS" (From BIOS). Disconnect any other storages(except optical and HDD where you are planing to install XP)
Then re-try, also leave it for longer period of time.
Okay, I tried this and it got me a little bit further in the OS installation. Windows Setup loads all the drivers but when it finally goes to start Windows, I get the ole blue screen with only this message on it:
STOP: c000021 Unknown Hard Error
\SystemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll
Any other suggestions are always appreciated

"Error occurred while packaging the application... Can't load library" in Flash Builder 4.7 (iOS)

Been struggling to resolve this error since yesterday in Flash Builder 4.7 packaging an app for iOS.
Error occurred while packaging the application:

Update:
My previous proposed solution (of installing the 64-bit JRE) resulted in a different problem. After multiple attempts and restarts I was unable to work in the Flash Builder IDE as it became unresponsive on load. Each time I had to use Task Manager to close the application.
Apparent Solution:
Close all applications running in Windows
Uninstall all versions of JRE (Java Runtime Environment)
Uninstall Flash Builder 4.7
Reinstall Flash Builder 4.7

After Quicktime 7.6 update, can't load i-tunes, logic or quicktime

Hello everyone.
Would really appreciate some help here.
I'm running a macbook pro (OS 10.4.11, Logic Pro 7.2.3)
In order to view some video files for a project I'm working on, I updated quicktime to 7.6.4, the latest Tiger will run (according to the apple webite). Now neither quicktime, i-tunes nor Logic will load.
I tried updating i-tunes to 9.2.1, but it still doesn't work.
Tried downgrading quicktime, but it won't let me.
Updating to Logic 8, or OS 10.5+ isn't an option at the moment. I just need a few more months out of this laptop, to finish some long-term projects.
What to do? Really stuck now.
thanks in advance
Guy

Did you use Disk Utility to verify your drive before installing? Did you use Disk Utility to repair permissions both before and after doing the installation? If not, you may have a corrupt drive (in which case the computer is losing track of files), or permissions are set so components couldn't be replaced or read.
Did you download the update files, or did you use Software Update to install? Many use Software Update but a lot of us prefer to have the updater safe and sound on our computer before letting it run.
Boot from your system installation disc and run Disk Utility to verify your hard drive. If necessary, run repair. Then boot from your internal disc and use Disc Utility there to repair permissions on your computer. Try re-installing the update with a downloaded version. repair permissions again.
Oh, before doing any update it is a good idea to make a bootable backup clone of your drive so you can restore again should something go wrong.

OK, here's what I found.
Digging into the XML reference about the Document class it states that for any document the XML must include either a <CONTENTOBJECT> element or a <NAME> element.
I then modified the XML file I was trying to upload to:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<MYTESTDOC2>
<NAME>
My Test Load
</NAME>
<TESTNAME>
Some Name
</TESTNAME>
</MYTESTDOC2>
and lo and behold it loaded!
Reviewing the supplied iFS documentation as well as the PurchaseOrder example published on this list, I found no such information about the necessity of these document class elements. It is incredibly frustrating when such basic information is omitted and we are left to figure it out on our own.

Can't load songs onto new Ipod

Can someone please help me. I had to return my Ipod and get a new one due to it being faulty. Now when I try to load my music onto the new one it will not copy all of my songs. Any idea on how to get this done?

hi Sherry!
Now when I try to load my music onto the new one it will not copy all of my songs.
does the synch seem to go perfectly successfully, but some songs just don't transfer? if so, try the advice given here:
Scott Patrie, "iTunes won't transfer purchased music to iPod", 07:24pm Oct 7, 2004 CDT
but if you're getting an error message, or your connection seems to quit after a while, please describe the situation in a bit more detail. (include any error message numbers if you're getting any.)

Can I load "Pages" onto new hard drive without having to pay for it again?

I have a 5 yr old Mac that just had it's hard drive replaced. I had paid for and loaded Pages onto the original hard drive. Wondering if there's any way to load Pages onto my new hard drive without having to pay for the program again. Thanks so much

If you originally installed Pages from a CD or DVD, reinstall it from there.
If you installed Pages from the Mac App Store, yes, from the Apple ID you purchased it with.
If you got Pages from the iTunes App Store, the Mac version of it is a separate purchase.

IPod Nano - iPOD auto updates - can't load music from library to music file

Every time I plug my nano in it automatically updates. How do I stop this?
Also I cannot load songs from my iTunes library to my personal music file. There is a padlock that appears to the right of the bar that indicates space useage at the bottom of the page. I am not sure if that has anything to do with not being able to load songs from my library to my personal music file. PLEASE HELP I AM DESPERATE!!
Parrott

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to automatically update. If you want to access your iPod directly, drag songs to it, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and videos" in the iPod Summary tab and click Apply. The text will change from grey to dark and the padlock will disappear: Managing content manually on iPod
One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod

2008 Upgrade vs New Build Issue

I have two servers - Both HP's. One crashed and we rebuilt the system as a Windows 2008 Standard 32bit. Another system was a 2003 Standard 32bit and we performed a system upgrade to Windows 2008 Standard 32bit. Both servers are running with the latest updates
and service packs. The new build is working exactly as expected. The Upgrade is having issues. We are finding things that did not carry over in the upgrade process (Group Policy Management not installed, some AD changes, drivers, etc) but
the process is tedious fraught with potential misses/error.
I would really like to export a complete system report from both servers and compare the results to try and find other items the upgrade failed to process correctly.
After much reading, powershell was a consistent theme but I could not get it working in 32bit environment.
Does anyone have a recommendation for how to complete this? Third party software or internal reporting we can use?
Not a server guy so please be gentle if this is an easy question.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Douglas

Hello,
which server roles are you talking about in detail on each hardware?
Are both machines DCs? If yes in-place upgrades are not a good idea for DCs, every admin will suggest against it, even it is full supported from Microsoft. Instead of looking for what is going wrong with comparing the 2 machines, you should think
about using the support tools for DCs and check the output or let us here have a look into the files.
ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.log [from each DC/DNS Server]
dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:dcname >c:\dcdiag.log
repadmin /showrepl dc* /verbose /all /intersite >c:\repl.log ["dc* is a place holder for the starting name of the DCs if they all begin the same (if more then one DC exists)]
dnslint /ad /s "DCipaddress" (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321045)
ADREPLSTATUS
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30005 can also be exported to file.
As the output will become large, DON'T post them into the thread, please use Windows OneDrive (https://onedrive.live.com) [with open access!]
and add the link from it here. Also the /e in dcdiag scans the complete forest, so better run it on COB.

Sorry that's untrue. I have Photoshop CS3 running on 10.9.
CS9 or 10? Now you are just making stuff up.
Adobe claim CS3 will work, with a minor issue…

The Adobe updater fails to work for me.
I was prompted to install J6RE which came from Apple, check the Apple support downloads http://support.apple.com/downloads/#java%206
Sorry can't provide a direct link, it was just a dumb 'You need … please click install' dialog.
I think the 10.9 java updater is installing version 7.

How can I prevent Firefox automatically updating when first opened on a new CentOS Installation ?

Hi,
I just installed CentOS on a new virtual machine for testing. I need to run Firefox 28 on it.
NO. Don't argue. It needs to be firefox 28.. Yes, I know firefox 35 is out. Yes I know it fixes important vulnerabilities. Yes, I know it has a load of new features. That information won't help me in the slightest. I need Firefox 28 on this virtual machine for a very specific reason, firefox 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35 won't be suitable for this purpose.... The reason I need it is to do with testing a specific website compatibility with older browser versions on multiple operating systems. I am fully aware that the latest version of firefox is the "best"... but it's not what I need right now, so please don't ask questions like "why are you using an older version" or suggest things like "you know, it's really in your best interests to use the latest version"... I get it, OK.... but that's not a helpful reply to this question, because I have a really specific requirement here.
... sorry if that seems rude, I just know what sort of replies get posted here whenever someone suggests using an older browser. I do get why people give such advice. I do understand the benefits of keeping computers that connect to the internet up to date. This particular Virtual Machine won't actually be used to connect to the internet... just to a test website on an intranet.
So the problem I have is that this installation of CentOS 6.4 (x64) comes with Firefox 31. When it first opens, before I have a chance to toggle off update checking, it begins downloading Firefox 35.0.1 and I haven't figured out how to abort the download. I thought about killing the task, but I feared what that might do. So I let it update to Firefox 35 and thought I'd just downgrade it to Firefox 28 afterwards.
I do have the standalone installation of Firefox 28 for linux (firefox-28.0.tar.bz2). I can extract it on the CentOS virtual machine. I thought for my purpose, I could then just run the browser binary.... but it started updating before I could change the option to never check for updates... and there's no option to abort the download there....... sigh...
So I tried editing the file update-setting.ini. I was quite hopeful when I saw it say:
; If you modify this file updates may fail.
; Do not modify this file.
So I changed the setting below to say:
[Settings]
ACCEPTED_MAR_CHANNEL_IDS=dont_update_this_please
hoping that my rather rash change might indeed cause updates to fail :-)
Sadly, it seems that the updates are still happening.
Basically here is what I need on CentOS - A way to run Firefox 28 without it updating to a newer version without asking me first. I don't mind if it keeps asking me... so long as it asks me instead of just doing it without asking.
Just to be clear again - this is for a test configuration I have to build, on a virtual machine. It's OK for this one specific machine to have vulnerabilities, it's OK that it doesn't have all the new features of Firefox 35. It's what I need. It won't be used to browse the internet and go to dangerous web sites that might implant malicious code. It will only be used to connect to a specific web server, behind a corporate firewall, that my company tightly controls. I'm pretty sure doesn't have malware on it (if it does, I have much bigger problems that using an old version of a browser) . Then in a few weeks time, this VM will be deleted, along with the old version of Firefox I hope to have running on it.
Incidentally, I may also have to repeat whatever I'm doing here later on another CentOS VM to install Firefox 27, 26, 25... but I'm hoping I don't have to... but I assume that whatever procedure works for Firefox 28 will work for these other slightly older versions too... don't worry, I don't have to go all the way back to Firefox 1.0... it's not THAT bad :-)
So, with the understanding very clear that normally you would probably recommend just using the latest version.... can anyone help me ?
Thanks in advance.

Firefox tarballs from Mozilla Org use prefs within Firefox for updates. The "toggle" for not automatically updating - '''app.update.enabled''' and where to look for updates - '''app.update.url'''. The first needs to be '''''false''''' and the second could be a '''''null''''' string, do an update can't be found.
''I use both prefs to keep Firefox from updating by itself. I install each new version of Firefox as it is released, and keep the older versions around for reference purposes. Those prefs are the same since Firefox 1.5 came out.''
The versions of Firefox that are part of an operating system installation usually are that OS's own build of Firefox, and don't use the same update setup as Mozilla uses, in most cases. I am not familiar with Cent OS, but Ubuntu and Debian look for Firefox updates and from their own program repository servers outside of Firefox - as with the tarballs from Mozilla.

I am running 10.5.8, and just updated my java to java 5 update10. Now my firefox is missing the Java plugin, and I can't load any Java applet at all. When I try it with Safari, it hangs when certain Java applet loads. HELP!!!

Suddenly my Java plugin is missing and i can't load any Java with Firefox at all, even though i have it enabled in the browser! i've tried loading in java embedding plugin, but it doesn't work. what should i do???

It's not in Tools> Add-ons >plugins? Should be Java Plug-in 2 for NPAPI browsers 13.5.0. What are you seeing there? I don't think it's called the embedding plugin any longer.
Might try getting the Firefox 5 standalone application. Trash the current one and replace it. Doing this won't affect your Profile or any settings.
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
If it's enabled, how can it be missing?
If this doesn't work, ask here. No need to register. Make sure you put (Mac) in the title.

EDIT. Oops, may be different for 10.5.8. Was thinking recent Java update for 10.6. But try installing a new app anyway. In the past, this got me the latest Java plugin.

New build with MSI 970A-G45 won't load OS or live CD

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G45 AM3+ AMD 970
CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 455 Rana 3.3 Ghz Socket AM3
RAM: G.Skill Sniper Series 2x4GB DDR3 1866, Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR
Video Card (original): ASUS ENGTX550 TI DC/DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Video Card (operational): XFX 7600 GT
System HD: Runcore 64GB Sata II SSD
Optical Drive: LITE-ON SATA DVD-RW drive
I just finished building a new upgrade build into an existing case with an existing PSU and hard drives/optical drive. Originally the system wouldn't power on at all, which I traced to the new video card (something to do with grounding or an inadequate power supply maybe?), but in any case I got past that for the moment with my old video card. The system will power on and get to the BIOS screen. I can enter the BIOS and everything looks fine: all my drives are detected, the RAM is present, the CPU looks correct. However, when I go to actually load an operating system, it never loads. After the BIOS screen I just get a blank screen with a white blinking cursor in the upper-left corner, and this never goes away (I've tried leaving it for 10 minutes or more).
Originally I was trying to boot from the mentioned SSD which has both Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows 7 64-bit partitions installed with GRUB2 to load them. This didn't load, so I tried an Ubuntu 11.04 live CD in my DVD-ROM drive. That didn't work, so I tried the same CD in an external USB CD-ROM drive in case it was a problem with the SATA controller/connectors. Still the same behavior. So I tried a memtest86+ CD in both drives. Still the same behavior. For each of the tests after the first I explicitly opened the boot menu with F11 at the BIOS screen and selected the device I wanted to try.
At this point I've already tried exchanging the memory I had originally bought with the memory I listed above, since the old memory I realized after I bought it was labelled as "Intel i5/i7 compatible" and the new memory is on the MSI support list for this motherboard model. Any thoughts on where to go next? My next thought was to RMA the motherboard but I feel like I'm flying blind here. I've never see a new build get stuck at this point in the boot process.

OK posting from Ubuntu on my now-working build!!
So, after two weeks of messing around with the CPU, RAM, video card, etc., I finally have the thought that the one thing I haven't tried yet is the old SATA expansion PCI card that I put in early on at the bottom of the motherboard underneath the video card (out of direct sight, out of mind apparently), for when I try to connect all 7 of my SATA devices. I tried pulling that out - presto, it boots. Retried a couple of times for proof, keeps booting correctly. It can even load memtest86+ off a CD. Put the PCI card back in - still boots. Reconnected the sata drive - no boot. Remembered that this particular PCI card has two SATA ports and one is for RAID of some kind, tried the other port - now it boots. The drive connected to the card is also detected by the OS.
In conclusion, it was something entirely different from what I was working on, as it usually is.
I'm going to get to work connecting everything back up, getting the new video card working, etc. I suspect I'll be back at least to read when I try to get my memory working at 1866 (different forum I know). Thanks to those who responded for the pointers.

Can't load art since 7.7 update

What a disaster! Right after my update, my external hard drive with all my music died. (I had a pretty good backup so it could be worse.) ITunes keeps crashing or hanging. And now I can't load art when I add new albums. Is there some way to undo all this mess with 7.7?

I've had the same issue with loading art since updating to 7.7.1. Sent a bug report to Apple, so maybe v7.7.2 will solve the issue... Very un-Apple-like.

Update: Can't load XP on new build
