WindowsXP and games trouble on AMD CPU's....

Hi,
It seems that Microsoft has problems with DirectX under WinXP and AMD-CPU's.....
Some games won't run because of that.....

Bas,
Here is the exact code problem:

CAUSE
The DrawIndexedPrimitive function stops working without displaying an error or debug message. This occurs because of a code error in the AMD-specific optimized code. This code error may lead to heap corruption.
Take Care,

GeForce 4200 - AMD and Games Crashing

Right, rig is as follows:
AMD AthlonXP2100+
Soundblaster Live
512MB DDR Ram
MSI Geforce 4 4200 64MB Ram Card
ECS Motherboard (has LAN etc on board)
OK, so i had Windows XP with SP1 installed and everything worked fine, the powersupply was a 300Watt Supply with +3 & +5 Rated at 165W.
Games such as MOHAA, SOF2, 007 - Nightfire and Spearhead (addon for MOHAA) all crashed at random. No error messages, just forze and only a hard reset would fix this.
I read this board and came to the conclusion that every time somebody mentioned this problem, always the same answer, PSU +3 & +5 must be 200+.
So, off I went to the shop and bought a 550Watts Powersupply, at this was the only one which went above 200+ - In fact it was 285Watts. Strange then that a 400 Watt Supply was rated at 185Watts..
Anyhow, fitted PSU and first thign i noticed was the system booted MUCH fatser (god knows why.. just did).
But... The games till crashed at random BUT..... UT2003 and other games not based on Quake3 did not crash at all... ever.
So... Here i am wasting good money on a PSU which is Way over the top for this system becuase of what is said on these boards.
In fact, after much testing... I have found the answer, and the problem only occurs when Windows XP SP1 is installed..... So maybe people shoudl think about this...

Just an idea, I would make sure that you are not overheating the cpu. Look in your bios to see if you have health/temp monitors on. Games like that can really tax the cpu and heat it up. Amd CPU's are known for this. If thermal paste is in place on the chip and you have a good enough fan, and adequate air flow in the case look for anothr problem. I would start there with your CPU tempatures.

Windows 8.1 and graphics driver for AMD Radeon HD7670m

Hello
Some time ago, i`ve had problem with updating my Windows8 (64-bit) to 8.1 (64-bit). The problem was with switchable graphics, only Intel HD4000 was working and i couldn`t fix it by Catalyst Control centre, by AMD support forum and by this forum as well.
I`ve seen this trouble a lot at forums, but i didn`t find the solution and reistalled my Windows 8.
Switchable graphics worked, but only this only old driver. All newones that i`ve tried to use didn`t work, or worked incorrect. That`s one question: we have only old driver (8.962.10.6000) without updates for new games, OSs, etc?
And another question is: was the problem fixed?
Because i`d like to install Windows 8.1, but i don`t want to "play" with drivers, strange solutions (like install beta driver for Windows7, from AMD website) and other. I want a working notebook (pavillion g6 2368 sr) with switchable graphics and win8.1

Hello @hi4man ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you have concerns about upgrading your notebook to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 and losing the switchable graphics feature.
To use the switchable graphics feature you must use the drivers provided by HP on your products Drivers & Downloads page.
The drivers for your notebooks GPUs are bundled into one installation, meaning the Intel and AMD GPU drivers are in one package. This package is supported on both Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 and is available here: AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver.
Try installing this driver after updating to Windows 8.1 and let me know if it works.
Note that you may need to disable the updates from Windows or the HP Support Assistant to have continued switchable graphics functionality.
I look forward to your reply!

TS1591 i just got an ihome system and had trouble with it connecting to my iPhone. I finally got it to work and now my itunes doesn't recognize my phone. My software is up to date on both my Mac and my iPhone and I have shut everything down and restarte

i just got an ihome system and had trouble with it connecting to my iPhone. I finally got it to work and now my itunes doesn't recognize my phone. My software is up to date on both my Mac and my iPhone and I have shut everything down and restarted. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

How many ghz should I get if I plan on using my IPAD2 for internet access, email, facebook and games for my children?

How many ghz should I get if I plan on using my IPad2 for internet access, email, facebook and games for my daughters children?

Ghz is the CPU speed and that is fixed for each iPad model.
The GB is the number of Gigabytes of storage.
I had a 32G iPad1 and filled it up with 5000 songs, 20,000 photos and about 50 apps. It doesn't sound like you will need anything larger than that. If you are just talking about a few dozen apps and email, the 16G version should be adequate.

Finding Serial # on AMD CPU AFTER installing.

Is there a way to find the serial # on an AMD CPU after it has been installed and CPU cooler attached? Didn't know if there was some software out there that could read that info like maybe Sandra.

How about if it was OEM
Well it seems that all users here have build their own systems .
So the cpu box must be somewhere in the house (or closet/drawers etc.) , thats what i mean.

Browse and Games icons have disappeared

Hi
My browse, favorites and Games icons have completely disappeared, when I go to my app I can see all the games installed, however I can not find them on my blackberry. I have already tried to updated it but says I have the latest version of software.
Could you please help me on what do it to recover them.
Many Thanks

If you don't know the restrictions code then do you know if it was on the iPad when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.

Java (.jar) applications and games on 5530XM

Hello
I have used the search option before asking, and I have manually searched some of the sub-forums (or boards) I thought could and would be relevant to my issue, and have seen no similar questions being asked. I have also worked with my good friend Google, and had no luck there, either. Most of the results were pirated software links, which is not necessarily bad, but does not help me resolve my issue.
Now, I'm not sure this is the correct board to post this in, but I'm not too far off even if it isn't; so bear with me. Now, onto the question.
I would like to know if it is possible to turn off the D-Pad emulator, and how one would go about doing that?
Let me elaborate, for those who are not familiar with what I'm talking about:
Namely, the 5530XM has an elegant solution for running non-touch apps and games (i.e.. those made for earlier revisions of the S60 OS, or even those legacy apps for S40), and it is as follows - the phone places the app/game interface in a window, scaled to the apps original rendering resolution, and then places a set of touch command buttons. It makes a Directional Pad, consisting of concentric circles, divided into 5 areas, 4 directions (up, down, left, right), and a general "OK" button (center). It also displays four "Letter-buttons", labeled "A", "B", "C" and "D", which have variable or no functions, depending on the app that is run. Finally it displays two function buttons, Left and Right Menu buttons, usually placed near the red and green phone button on phones with keypads. This works flawlessly for old apps and games, with the limitation that the interface is not multi-touch, meaning it will only accept one virtual keypress at a time.
My problem with this setup is that some of the more recent Java applications are run as legacy as well; meaning ALL of the touch-aware apps and games that I have tried running. This is unacceptable for several reasons. First, some of them don't recognize the simulated commands, rendering the virtual D-Pad useless. What's more, the virtual interface covers a good portion of the app's original interface, making it impossible to use it. The apps and games I have tried are shipped as .jar, and are supposed to work with a touch interface. And they do, it's only that they're half-covered with an unneeded virtual D-Pad!
I am open for all suggestions, I have the latest firmware installed, 20.0.080.C01.01, the phone is, as mentioned, 5530 XM (RM-604), and I haven't manually altered Java in any way. I am, however, ready and willing to go for some more serious tinkering if need be, even if it involves altering system files, hex editing and whatnot, and I won't cry to mama if I brick the phone, I know full well the range and scope of possible consequences. This would probably constitute breaking the rules, maybe even voiding the warranty, so I'm not asking for anyone to give an answer of that level here, publicly, but feel free to send a personal message or ask for my e-mail / IM screen name, so that we can communicate about such taboo topics
One more note, probably relevant: .sis and .sisx apps and games work flawlessly, bot the old ones needing the D-Pad (they get a virtual one) and the new ones, which are correctly recognized as touch-capable. Even some that are reported incompatible by the phone work without a hitch. It really is a pity to see the Java apps fail after everything else is flawless.
Perhaps, if there is no known solution or a dirty workaround, we can file an official recommentadion/bug report/feature request to the developers in charge? I can wait.
Thanks to those brave enough to read my wall of text, and thanks in advance to all who reply something useful
Careful what you wish for... You just might get it.

You can sync iOS apps from your compute's iTunes library to your iPod. An iPod will only run iOS apps/games. It will not run or even sync computer apps/games.

How do I get music and games which I purchased for my daughter through my iTunes account onto her iPad mini but at the same time set up a separate iTunes account for her iPad?

My daughter used to use my old iPod and all the music and games that she wanted went through my e-mail/iTunes account. She has moved onto an iPad mini but this is still in my account. I want to set up an e-mail and iTunes account for her so that my iPhone doesnt get jammed up with all her stuff. If I do this I think that all the stuff which I've bought will be lost to her. How can I get round this?

Apple devices can hold protected content from up to five different accounts, however updating apps purchased over more than one account (as far as I'm aware) requires signing in and out of each account. You may be better off continuing to use one account for your family, as I do, but disabling the options on each device for the automatic download of purchases made on the account, and in iTunes, the automatic inclusion of new apps when syncing from the library to the device.

You should be storing everything on your computer. Just sync it to the iPhone of your choice from your computer.
