Windows XP - Thumbnails and nForce in general

For some reason when I select a video file (mpg or divx so far, probably most others too) and XP does it's thing to retrieve the thumbnail and details I have explorer getting locked into a loop and taking 100% of my CPU time as well as the RAM usage escalating. This only used to happen on bad files when I had a K7N420 Pro. Now I've upgraded to a K7N2G-ILSR, same RAM, same CPU, I get the same problem but massively worse. It now gets into this with absolutely any video file.
I'm wondering if this is a compatibility problem or if I just haven't got somethign setup right.

Windows XP keeps a record of all files on the hard disk so when you do a search on the hard drive it is faster.  There is a downside to this and because the computer has to index all files, it will slow down normal file commands like open, close, etc.  If you do not do a whole lot of searches on your hard drive then you may want to turn this feature off:
Open My Computer.
Right-click your hard drive icon and select Properties.
At the bottom of the window you'll see "Allow indexing service to index this disk for faster searches," uncheck this and click ok.
A new window will pop up and select Apply to all folders and subfolders.
It will take a minute or two for the changes  to take affect but then you should enjoy slightly faster performance.
If that does not help try running sfc/scannow in the command line...just make sure you have the xp cd in the rom drive.

  • Windows 7 x64 and PDF thumbnails problems

    I have CS5 and Acrobat 9 and under Vista x32 I could see the pdf thumbnails nicely.  Yesterday I installed Windows 7 x64 and now all I can see are the Adobe icons.  I read some other threads that describe opening up the files through acrobat and then changing to either large icon or extra large icon to fix the problem.  This works, but when I go back through windows explorer everyhting is back to just icons.  I have made sure that explorer is set to always view thumbnails and I don't have this problem with anyother file types such as Word documents or image files.  I have also tried rebuilding the installation as anthoer poster had suggested.  Has anyone found a permanent fix for this?

    Thanks for the link to the fix (by Pretentious Name . com).
    I note that over a year has passed since you posted this solution, and Adobe has still not corrected the problem.
    Problems, errors, and omissions in software are normal and acceptable - what is not acceptable is that Adobe choses to not take action to correct certain problems, especially when the user community identifies both the cause and the solution to the problem.
    The folks at Adobe shoud take a close look at this web page: http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/ - it contains a complete and well-documented description of both the cause of the problem and the solution to the problem.

  • FCP7-White video thumbnails and screen in the viewer window

    Just opened one of my FCP7 project files on my brand new iMac/Lion for the first time.
    Thumbnails and video in view screen are white, and no video timeline doesnt play.
    When attempting to render the 30 minute sequence, it gives me a general error and it will not render.
    Help!!!

    It means you don't have the codec installed to playback the video format that you are trying to work with.
    So let's start with some information about the video codec of your source footage, your timeline settings and anything else that you feel might be useful in diagnosing your issue.

  • Photoshop CS4, Windows 7 - move and type tool bugs

    My company recently had me upgrade my Dell Lattitude E6400 laptop from Windows XP to Windows 7. It was a reimage, so I had to reinstall all my software. Previously, I never encountered any bugs with Photoshop (barring the one that doesn't allow you to exit layer options, e.g., opacity, without physically changing layers)... anyway, now I've got two rather - extremely - irritating issues that resolve only when I restart Photoshop.
    1. Move tool (I use CTRL + Click and hold most often): when I place my cursor on the screen, on the object I wish to move (with the correct layer selected), then I try to move this object, suddenly the object JUMPS to some far away corner of the screen. All I am trying to do is what I've always done, move something over a small bit; instead, I have to chase it around. It's like the center of the object/layer suddenly changes.
    This issue seems to go away - at least for a while - if I restart phothoshop. But, if I leave it open for a while (as I use it 4+ hours a day) it returns, inevitably. SOOO frustrating.
    2. Changing text box size: Every so often when I go to adjust the width/height of a text box - while using the text tool - something happens that causes the text box to actually skew/scale/distort/etc. the text. I've never seen this happen before - not on my personal copy/machine, nor on the Windows XP install.
    I've Googled these issues, but to no avail. I'm hoping *some*one out there has some thoughts, particularly for the first issue, which is by far the more irritating of the two, as I end up chasing things around the workspace. (I often have to zoom WAY out, hit CTRL + T to get the transform box to show me where in the workspace it is, and it's generally FAR out of view.)
    Thanks, in advance.

    Some screen interactivity will be reduced without OpenGL, but it's livable.
    OpenGL use was new for CS4, and as it was a whole new way of getting information onto the screen it did cause some problems.
    If you do find the problem is gone without OpenGL (and I suspect it may be; I used CS4 for a long time without seeing what you're seeing so I'm convinced it's a problem on your specific system), check the video driver upgrades from Dell.  A lot of drivers are coming out specifically to support OpenGL as Photoshop needs it - of course, nowadays, that's for CS5 mostly but it's likely helping to make OpenGL more stable for CS4 as well.

  • IPhoto 11 9.3 I click on a thumbnail and the screen is black or has a triangle with exclamation mark inside of it

    iPhoto 11 9.13 I click on a thumbnail and the screen is black or has a triangle with an exclamation point

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Windows 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.4.62 iPhone Backup Lost

    I synced my iPhone 4 yesterday, then reset it to factory settings. I have done this several times, and everytime I am able to restore my iPhone from backup. However, that was on Windows 7 and earlier iTunes versions. This time, with Windows 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.4.62, I wasn't able to restore from backup. It does not show my phone's name when I click Restore Backup, and I can't find the previous backup anywhere on my hard drive. Please help!

    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  • Windows Camera compatible with Windows Vista, 7, and 8 in WPF

    Hey everyone,
    I am working on a Desktop application that uses DirectShow. It worked fine until we ran it on a Surface tablet in Windows 8. I need a way to control the camera rotation and DirectShow makes it quite difficult to implement.
    I would now like to update it to something that is better supported. Media Framework seems to be the solution but the examples I have found seem to apply to Win8, and work as Windows Store Apps. 
    Does anyone know of some good example code that would help me figure out how to implement using a basic camera to take pictures in a Windows Desktop App, and easily access camera rotation? Alternatively, does anyone know of a 3rd party provider that has
    a camera solution I could purchase to incorporate into my code?
    Thanks,

    Hi kemp77,

  • Is it possible to exclude thumbnails and previews from a vault?

    I think in Aperture 1.5, vaults did not include any preview or thumbnail files, but only the files containing metadata, adjustments etc. (and the masters, unless referenced only)
    Somewhere along the way to 3.0 this changed so now previews and thumbnails are backed up each time you update your vault.
    This has two BIG drawbacks:
    - the vault becomes much larger than necessary (I always generate large previews)
    - the update process takes much longer as more files need to be copied.
    On the other hand, I do not see any tangible benefit of including the extra files - provided I back up both masters and the adjustments, I should be able to regenerate thumbnails and previews after a restore following, say, a fatal hard drive error.
    (If I chose to delete all previews and thumbnails prior to creating a vault, I assume that the vault would be significantly smaller, without losing any information that cannot be recreated by  'generate thumbnail/preview')
    Is my understanding correct?
    If so, is there a way around it?
    If not, can we please have this option in Aperture 3.5 or 4.0?
    Thank you!

    Hi Matt.  You raise an interesting point.  What you say makes sense to me.
    My general response is:  external drives are cheap.  Buy what you need and don't spend any time trying to "save" disk space.  IME, the administrative overhead is far more costly than the upfront equipment costs.
    Here are some specific answers (as I understand how Apeture uses Vaults).
    There is no way to exclude Previews from Vaults.  Each Vault includes all extant Previews.
    Each Vault is a differential back-up.  Updating the Vault should update only those files that have been added, changed, or deleted.  Unchanged files -- including Previews -- are not backed up anew each time you update a Vault.  The amount of time it takes to update a Vault will vary based on the number of changes made, and should have nothing to do with the size of the Library or the number of files in it.
    You can test your hypothesis.  Delete all your Previews, and create a new Vault.  Let us know what you find out.
    Suggestions for enhancements should be made directly to Apple via "Aperture→Provide Aperture Feedback".  The forum is -- officially -- strictly for user-to-user interaction.

  • Windows Explorer Thumbnail View

    Hi guys
    I am making a photo gallery system software in the main window I want to show images in thumbnail view. however I see people that they use JButton to show each thumbnail I think that's unconventional so I am trying to create something like Windows Explorer thumbnail view but I don't know how do it. I have a class named thumbnail which will get an image and resize it to thumbnail and put a border around it but i don't know where to put that thumbnail. I think JTable is a good place since you can select the cells but then again i don't know how to add an image to a cell
    thank you

    Thankx actually I kinda got it working however there are two problems
    1-how can i add images dynamiclly I mean I want start with zero row and and whenever someone imports an image to system I want to show the thumnanil of that in the table. meaning adding that image to next avaialbe cell
    2-if i have 6 column and 10 rows that's 60 cells but imagine if i have added only 51 images added so that take 51 cells and 9 cells are empty which a row and half and the system has option to select all thumbnail (like explorer) but the problem is it will even select the cells that are empty since it is a table
    if someone know how to do this or give me a hint i appreciate it
    thanks

  • Black thumbnails and pictures in Media Center in PE8

    Hi,
    I've had this issue for years (in PE6, 7 and now 8) and on various Windows versions (XP MCE, Vista and now on W7 x86 and x64) but I've finally decided to try and do something about it as I'd really like to be able to use the MC plugin.
    As the title says, some of my pictures appear black (both the thumbnail and the picture itself) in Media Center. All my pictures are fine in the desktop version of PE8. It seems to happen exclusively with pictures that are taken vertically (portrait orientation), those in landscape are fine. But some portrait pictures (though very few) appear fine too. I've also found out that if I open a "black" picture in the Editor and save it (without changing anything), then it will appear fine in MC. And I've noticed that it's only happening with my camera (Canon Ixus 860 IS) although I had the same problem with my 2 previous cameras (both Canon PowerShots). The memory cards were different too.
    I'm pretty baffled by all this and I really don't know what I could do to sort this out. If anybody has had the same problem or if anyone can think of a solution, any helps would be greatly appreciated!
    Here's a picture to illustrate what I'm talking about:

    My suspicion is that your problem correlates to a photo orientation indicator set by your camera in the photo file.
    some ideas
    --Choose one photo which displays black in Media Center
    -- In the PSE Organizer thumbnail area, select that photo and display the Organizer Properties panel/window for that photo. within the Camera Data of that Properties window you are looking for an Orientation field - what does it say ?
    -- Now in the Organizer, rotate the thumbnail of that same photo 90 degrees to the right or to the left and then rotate it back in the other direction
    -- Do whatever you may need to do to refresh your display through Media Center and check if this photo displays OK.
    After you post back with your results, we can discuss in more detail the what and the why. If my theory is correct the solution should be easy.
    FYI - I suspect that your identifying that the problem was specific to portrait photos which had not been edited will be very significant in identifying what is happening. Good analysis.

  • Missing thumbnails and previews Bridge CC x64. Help!

    Week ago have missing thumbnails and previews in Bridge CC x64.
    Where are no thumbnails cannot preview and open in photoshop.

  • Bridge "stops working" and displays split thumbnails and previews.

    When working with Windows XP, my Photoshop/Bridge CS3 was working fine. On my new computer with Vista, Bridge acts up in strange ways. It sometimes shuts down spontaneously, causing a Windows "Bridge has stopped working" message to appear.
    At other times, Bridge displays thumbnails that are split or only half there, with the preview image also split in half with the sides reversed. If I wait a few minutes, the proper thumbnails and preview finally appear, but this is a nuisance. BTW, the same copy of Bridge works just fine on my laptop with XP. When I contacted Adobe, they blamed it on Windows. When I contacted Windows, they blamed it on Adobe. Anyone with similar problems and suggested fix?
    Thanks!

    Hi Gerry,
    as it is nearly two months since your initial post, you may have already solved your problem. In which case I'll continue with this reply for the benefit of anyone else who suffers the same affliction:
    My problem was Bridge CS3 running on a 32-bit Vista Home Premium SP1, Intel Core 2 CPU T5300 @ 1.73GHz and 2GB of RAM (if that makes any difference). Like Curt, I'm no computer expert either but I was experiencing a very similar problem to your's in CS3 Bridge.
    The error message contained something about the "nvlddmkm.sys" not working. The 'nvlddmkm.sys' refers to the driver for my graphics card, a 'NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300', whose driver I had recently updated (to solve a separate conflict between an updated BIOS - it never stops!).
    After some fiddling, I discovered that changing the 3D Graphics setting on the Nvidia Control Panel made Bridge once again behave.
    Open the Nvidia Control Panel (right click on the 'desktop' to access it).
    Under the '3D Settings' task, select 'Adjust Image Settings with Preview'. This should reveal a window with an image of a slowly spinning, three-dimensional Nvidia logo. (I understand that the Nvidia Control Panel is common to all its cards.)
    Under the spinning logo image there are three options for 3D settings. On my computer, while my Bridge was broken, the "Use my preference emphasizing: Balanced" option was selected. I changed the option to, "Let the 3D application decide" and crikey! - when I restarted Bridge the previews were once again working. (It may be my imagination, but Bridge appears to now be going better than ever.)
    I switched the Nividia preferences a couple of times just to make sure. The change appeared to have done the job.
    NB: I noticed another discussion in the forums entitled "Suddenly No Images in Bridge" which appears to be a similar problem. They resolved it this way;
    "Depress and hold Ctrl-Alt-Shift when you start PS or Bridge. A menu comes up with three options. Check them all."
    I didn't see that fix until I had sorted mine so I haven't tried it... but now that 'it ain't broke', I 'ain't gonna fix it'!
    Hope this helps you or someone else.

  • Windows 8.1 and FTP problems

    Hello,
    I am having problems with Windows 8.1 and FTP clients.
    I am using Syncback (just takes forever)  and Filezilla 3.7.3 Portable, the last one gives after some time the following error "The maximum number of clients (10) for this user are already connected".
    Setting the maximum number of clients on the server form 10 to 15 has no noticeable result.
    When using the same network, computer and software, but now Windows 8 (different partition on the same computer), the FTP job just runs fine with no problems.
    Should Windows 8.1 have special settings to be able to use FTP?
    Thanks, Wouter

    Please try these steps:
    Reducing simultaneous connections for incorrectly configured servers
    https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Using#Reducing_simultaneous_connections_for_incorrectly_configured_servers
    Make sure that you close connection as soon as you are done with them, as some ftp clients will generally leave their connection open unless told otherwise. Additionally, some clients such as Filezilla will allow multiple connections for any new activity,
    which uses up connections quickly. While this does make for faster transfers.
    I use mostly Cute FTP and I have been sometimes doing it to just close ftp software (Alt+F4) and not closing connection; but the point is that when you have been connected then you must close connection properly as well.

  • CSS scrolling window for thumbnails

    My question: Is this possible using CSS? Does anyone have any
    suggestions?

    Yes, but only in IE/PC. In other words, it's not worth your
