Windows Display Driver Problem.. Please Help!!

Hi,
I get a blue screen with this message..
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
The problem seems to be caused by the following file: ati2dvag
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
The device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates problems with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly.
Please check with your hardware device vendor for any device updates.

Beginning dump of physical memory
The computer is fine just browsing the internet for example, but if I use a CAD package it will crash. Today it crashed just opening a Word document..
The OS is Windows XP SP2 installed on a 24" Intel Imac.
I've also installed the latest drivers from this link:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/bootcamp-xp.aspx
Note crashing happened before I installed these drivers too.
Graphics card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT
Any help would be great!

If you are running Windows using Boot Camp I'd recommend re-posting in the Boot Camp forum. You can find that forum at:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237
If you are running Windows using Parallels or Fusion then you should post there.
I would think your chances of finding your answer would be with those that are running Windows.

Windows 8 driver problems, please help

hello,
i was trying to clone my windows partition the other day with winclone 2.2 to expand it, but that didn't end well, i had a perfectly working windows 7.
so, when i lost my bootcamp partition, i decided to give windows 8 (customer preview) a try.
Unfortunately, the bootcamp drivers only work in windows 7 (even if u run them in windows 7 compatibility).
i tried to install the drivers one by one manually, some have worked, and others have not.
Working:
Wireless reciever
keyboard
trackpad (was, because i deleted the drivers and reinstalled them, so i lost this driver that was built in)
graphics card
Not Working:
trackpad (was, because i deleted the drivers and reinstalled them, so i lost this driver that was built in)
media keys (brightness, keyboard illumination, pause play rewind FF, volume keys and eject)
ambient light sensor
multi touch gestures for trackpad.
can anyone give me a way to get the drivers to work?
MacBook Pro 15'' 2.0 GHz Snow Leopard 10.6.8 early 2011 model

nooo I did not say or suggest they they will work, or easy or with OEM DVD.
But if you are going to use 8 go ahead but plan to redo (unlikely to be an upgrade install).
You still have to look around and see what others have managed to do with some not working drivers.

Macbook Pro Hard Drive Problem - Please Help

My macbook pro had a hard drive failure so I went out and bought a new hard drive and got it to work with the Mac OS, although 2 days later it crashed and now it is not being found when I use the disk utility (Cmd-R), I even ran a hardware test and showed no trouble found.
Should I return this hard drive and get another?
Or is there another problem that is occuring?
I have a Macbook Pro (mid 2012)
Thank You.

I just installed a new ribbon cable for the hard drive...Now I get a new error that is popping a message saying "2003-f", this happens when I try to go to the online recovery (CMD-R). I tried two different hard drives and still won't let me get to the utility.
Someone please help, my mini semester classes have started for my University, and I am stuck with no laptop.
Thank You.

G4 Powerbook Hard Drive Problem - PLEASE HELP!!

I have a powerbook G4 15 inch alu. It is running OSX version 10.4.11
My system profiler tells me I have a 74.5GB hard drive with 69.34GB used, but I had wiped the HD in September 2008 and reinstalled the OS and few other programmes and files, so this shouldn't be the case at all.
I have found that my the problem is with my Users folder - within Users, my user account (the main account, I have another account setup so my mum can use her iPhone) has 67GB used. But when I go into my user account (clicking through the icons, after double-clicking the MacintoshHD desktop icon), none of the folders within my account run to anwhere near 67GB. Totalled, they come to around 10-15GB at most. There's a good 50GB or so of hard drive that just seems to be missing.
I ran Drive Genius to repair permissions and that eliminated a couple of GB of this 'missing space' but no more than that. How can I go about finding and reaccessing my lost hard drive space?
FWIW - I reinstalled the OS in September because this was my University laptop and the result of 4-5 years use had resulted in loads of unwanted files. I saved the important stuff to discs and then reinstalled because it was much easier (I thought) than trying to find and get rid of all the unwanted stuff.
Please please help. At the moment, the computer is running fine if a little sluggishly (understandable given how much of the hard drive is 'used'), but I had a nasty experience earlier this year with my G5's hard drive crapping ut and really don't want to end up in the same boat with this one. I also need that extra space back so I can use some programmes I can't install or work with as things stand.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this and respond, I don't know enough about computers to have any clue as to how to proceed, so your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

eww - will do and report back.
cornelius - apologies for the ambiguity there. Hope this clears things up a bit:
Users folder = get info says 69.34GB used
Double-click on the Users folder and I get three folders - the shared folder, my mum's account folder, and my account folder. My account is the main/master account.
The shared folder is empty. My mum's account folder has a couple GB used, mine has 66.5GB used.
I double-click on my account folder, and get icons/folders for Desktop, Library, Movies, etc (the usual stuff). When I do Get Info for each of these, the sum of GB used by them is about 10-15GB, nowhere near the 66GB supposedly used.
If it helps any, the File System is Journalled HFS+
S.M.A.R.T. status is verified, and Drive Genius, Disk Warrior, and Disk Utility aren't picking up anything bad other than the corrupted permissions I repaired prior to making this post. Repairing permissions only freed up a few GB more space, still got 50 missing GB to locate and free up. Or start saving for a replacement HD, but if this is a sign of a crash, I'd rather know now so I can plan for that.
Many thanks to both of you for responding so quickly - hopefully this problem is solvable.
It doesn't make sense, there's nothing else which could have used those 'missing' GB. And, as I only reinstalled everything in September I know there's no way the few programmes I've added and 10 or so CDs I've copied onto the G4 could account for the missing 50GB. My HD should have most of its space free - minus the space used by OSX, any OSX updates, and literally a handful of small apps and files.

Powerbook G4 12" 867mhz with dvd/cd drive problems - please help!

Hello all,
Just realized this thread should have been in this section. I put it in the using your powerbook section. Sorry for the double post. I just wanted it to be in the right section.
I have just inherited a powerbook g4 from a family member who is upgrading to a new machine. It has dvd/cd drive problems. I'm totally new to OSX and a notebook machine and need some assistance. I've been briefly scanning the forums here and noticed problems with these drives on the model computer. Is there a way to fix this with an install of older software? Here is the problem, if I insert a cd into the super drive it mounts on the desktop, and itunes will play it but it skips and sounds very distorted. I haven't tried a dvd but was told it doesn't even see the dvds on the desktop. Here are the know specs on the machine:
867mhz
640 mb ram
mac os x 10.5.1
boot rom version 4.5.5f4
the burner info: matshita dvd r uj-015
firmware version: docb
Thanks in advance!

Good Morning Mac,
According to your posted specs for the 12" G4PB you have the bare minimum requirements for Leopard. Even Tiger (10.4.11) should have 1GB RAM for decent performance (see my signature specs).
An easily installed 1GB RAM stick can be obtained at either of these reliable vendors:
http://eshop.macsales.com/ or http://www.crucial.com/
However, we are getting ahead of ourselves. Try the following in this order:
Repair Disk Permissions with /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair DP, then do the following:
Run Repair HD from original CD or DVD install disk ........
Insert disk and re-start holding down the 'C' key until you see the spinning gear.
At Installer level...... DO NOT CONTINUE
At top left, use 'Utilities' Menu for Tiger or later and go 'Disk Utility'
Select your HD volume with Operating system on...
Select First Aid tab then select Repair Hard Disk button
If "RED" errors are repaired, run again, until none are reported then +run again+ just to be sure you are OK
Do NOT continue with the Installer... QUIT the Installer and return to the Finder ......... Eject the Disc
RESTART ..... Repair Disk Permissions .... AGAIN!
Try the above stuff first .... if that doesn't help, we will get into the "RESETS" steps next!

Z97M Gaming windows 7 installing problem, please help

hi everyone. I hope someone could help me. This is my setup I just built:
MSI Z97M Gaming (latest bios updated, v1.4)
Intel Core I5 4690S Cpu
2 sticks of Gskill DDR3 (2x4GB) 2400Mhz
Nvidia 970GTX 4GB PCIE video card
Samsung EVO 840 - 250GB SSD (latest firmware updated)
Corsair 750W PSU
And this is the problem: when i boot (from USB) Windows 7 SP1 setup, it runs fine until it asks me for a driver (which is missing) in order to proceed with installation. I suppose it's SATA driver, so I've copied last version of Asmedia SATA driver in my usb key. But when i point to it, windows setup says that no driver has been found! So it doesn't show the ssd and I can't proceed with setup. I've tried every subfolder of the "asmedia_sata_win78" main folder.
Also, I set LEGACY+UEFI mode in bios. I've also tried IDE mode for the sata controller, but nothing works
Any suggestion, please? Sorry for the bad english

do you have any other storage to try say standard HDD? to try it instead this SSD
Quote
Still, I boot from usb drive, still I point to intel 32bit storage drivers, still windows shows "Intel 9 chipset series SATA AHCI controller". But it doesn't find the hard disk
i suspect something isn't ok with your installation disk
since its unclear is it 32bit or 64bit and since accept 32bit drivers only
can you use a better one? and to make sure that it would have SP1 integrated

Acomdata Hard Drive Problem - Please help!!

I purchased an Acomdata HydridDrive 250GB USB 2.0 drive today for my MacBook. When plugging it in, it shows up on the desktop like a CD and you are supposed to install "SecureHD_Login_V126.pkg" . So I run it and everything goes as normal... it selects my MacBook's HD, asks for my password, warns me the installation will require a reboot... then it says "There were errors installing the software" and "Please try installing again". Well, I've tried several times with no success. According to instructions, I have to install this before I can mount the drive because it has password protection or something. There are no forums or any useful help on Acomdata's website. Anyone know what's wrong?

monkey paw,
That's correct. I use the built-in "rsync" command line utility to create and maintain backups. It's a very powerful tool, if a bit less than user-friendly. Best of all, a command line incorporating it can be used in an Automator Action, which can then be double-clicked to run the backup whenever the external drive is connected.
If any of this sounds interesting, open Terminal, then type:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">man rsync</pre>
and press <RETURN>. You will then have displayed the rsync "manual pages." Use the arrow keys to scroll up and down, or use the spacebar to go page by page.
Once you become totally lost in these man pages, come back here for specific help on using it, if you like

X40 2382-ECU Hard drive problem - please help!

I have a X40 2382-ECU thinkpad. I ran PC-doctor program and found the S.M.A.R.T. status test and short self-test both failed while the rest of the rest of the tests passed. After that, I ran a "chkdsk" comment from window and found no error. I was just wondering what does the result from PC-doctor means. Does that mean I have to replace my HD? Is there any other way to fix it without getting a new HD? If I have to replace HD, which HD will be capatible with my system (I'd like to upgrade the HD if possible - it only has 40gb now). Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!
I'm afraid that no good news will come from me this time around: the fact that your HDD has failed PC-Doctor tests suggests that it's on its way out. If I were you I'd clone the drive (or backup all the important stuff at least) yesterday.
Your X40 uses a 1.8"/4200rpm Hitachi drive, which are no longer in production. The biggest size available was 60GB, and these change hands at about $125-150 for an unused drive in the original unopened packaging, and that's on eBay...
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

Windows 7 Beta problem - PLEASE HELP ME :(

I'm running the recently released Windows 7 public beta, and have so far got iTunes running and all my songs sorted out fine. But when I try to connect my iPod Classic, neither iTunes nor my PC recognises it, except for an unresponsive "iPod" entry under "Other Devices" in the device-manager (unresponsive in the sense that I have no option other than to scan for changes).
I've tried everything I can find on here: the 5Rs, some other stuff about uninstalling the device then reinstalling... everything! I haven't made any changes to the PC which could have prevented the iPod working - except installing the Windows 7 beta of course, but from what I've read online other people have had no issues with it and their iPods. Also, the PC worked with my iPod fine when it ran Vista.
Can anyone help me? I feel like I've tried everything.

IMHO u should write microsoft so they can improve that feature...
it is a beta, remember....
good luck..

External hard drive problem, please help!

I have a SEAGATE external hard drive which I had associated with Time machine so its file system was HFS+ journaled.
when i turn the hdd on a window pop up comes on the screen telling me to either initialize, ignore or eject.
if i go to disk utility the hard disk shows as disk1s2 and that its format is FAT32.
trying to repairing it/fixing through Disk utility gives me the following error
Verifying volume “disk1s2”
** /dev/disk1s2

however if i go to terminal and type fsck -f -y /dev/disk1s2
after a few fixes the following output was given

If you don't have any data on the drive, you may want to initialize the disk. Otherwise I would check out DiskWarrior.

Windows 8 installation problem, please help..

I tried to install windows 8 (legal) on my 5/2012 Macbook Air using Bootcamp. Everything was ok since I entered the disc-choosing part. On "bootcamp partition" the installation program says "unable to install windows to this partition because of missing drivers, try to enter Bios". When I restart the computer, only the Windows logo is able to be seen and thats all, now it´s impossible to even enter the Windows installation programme. But, when I disconnect my flash disc containing W8, Mac is still booting W8 installation saying "No bootable media found". Is there any possibilty to enter my MacOS, system choice, or at least to download new MacOS and format the disc?
Thank you so much....

@filisipi: I am not sure if I understood your problem correct. Holding down the "Alt"-Key after turning on the power of your MBA should give you the joice between all operating systems recognized at this point in time. This should provide the way to boot again with Mac OS.

Hp 87130 switch driver problem PLEASE HELP

Hello-
It sounds like the interface is working, but the instrument is not responding. It may help to contact Agilent about this instrument. My initial guess is that there could be a couple of causes:
-The instrument needs to be configured to receive GPIB commands.
-The semi-colon is not a valid end-of-string (EOS) character.
