Winflash gives verify error... dare I reboot?

I flashed my K8N Neo platinum board to 1.8 and USB2 disappeared. Then I tried to flash to 1.91 beta with winflash and all settings enabled (erase cmos, update boot, mdi etc). The flash procedure takes much longer than it does in DOS mode, and when it enters the verify phase it gives "flash block verify error".
Trying to keep cool, I run it again with the 1.7 bios that until last week was the latest official bios. But the same thing happens: long time flashing and verify error.
I suspect that rebooting will result in a dead computer.
What can I do now?
Thanks for any help.

Hi
Just a quick update - I am still trying to flash all the different bioses, still no luck. I have also added bios version 1.4 into the
list I am trying...
Does anybody know if the rescue floppy disc will work in this situation? I dont think that Winflash is touching
the bootblock, since it programs DMI, then programs Mainblock, and then fails at 2% verifying the Mainblock.
It does not seem to get to the Bootblock, so will this mean my bootblock should still be intact? I did select the
clear CMOS option though, would that have wiped the Bootblock prior to starting all the programming?
Thanks
Jooppy
Winflash programs in this order :
1. DMI block
2. Main BIOS block , then verifies it .
3 .Last erase bootblock , and reprograms it .
Dosflash on the other hand writes bootblock first and is less safe in that way .
If your failed winfllash never came to pt.3 i would say your bootblock is intact and you ought to be able
to make a rescue flash with the awfl833d.exe and parameters placed in autoexec.bat on a msdos startup floppy .
PS!
Make sure to always kill winflash.exe in taskmanager when switching versions and/or exiting the program .
Because if you have clear cmos selected in winflash it stays in memory all the way to an eventual restart/shutdown of the system .

I am trying to activate new qualitative research software. When I attempt to activate it my Apple Air will not allow it and gives an error message saying we cannot verify the identity of the developer of the software

The developer isn't recognized by the App Store, so your Mac is trying to protect you in case the program is malware. As long as you are sure it isn't, follow this procedure:
In the Finder, locate the app you want to open.Don’t use Launchpad to do this. Launchpad doesn’t allow you to access the shortcut menu.
Press the Control key, then click the app icon.
Choose Open from the shortcut menu.
Click Open.The app is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you will be able to open it in the future by double-clicking it, just like any registered app.

App upgrade or download gives me error.

I have a Blackberry 8520 Curve, it worked fine for me for more than a year now.
But now everything sucks because no app works anymore after i download or upgrade.
I get a "App verify error" on all the apps i've upgraded and/or downloaded.
Firstly i recieved the upgrade for the facebook app, so i did the upgrade, and now, well, the icon doesnt exist on my phone, i tried everything, from device wipe to rebooting countless times..
Now for another eg. My whatsapp gives me the following message on screen after i click on it to open:
[ ERROR STARTING WHATSAPP:ERROR LOADING MODULE 'WHATSAPP' VERIFY ERROR. ]
(just right click and open in new tab if it doesn't show)
It does this with most of my apps.
How do i fix this? because installing and deleting and rebooting and even device wipe doesn't solve this..

Try
Reboot the computer, see if that fixes it.
Then try:
Backup your files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and simply reinstalling OS X
Log in and update to 10.6.8
c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility >Repair Disk
reboot and all should be fine, except some third party programs that install kext files, those will have to be reinstalled from fresh sources.

When i try to log on to Oracle it gives an error TNS:no listener, WHY?

hi guys,
WHen i try to log on to the Oracle 8i server using the user: SYSTEM and password: manager, it gives an error
ERROR:
ORA-12541: TNS: no listener
why this occurs and how do i fix the problem? please give me step by step instructions TY :)

ORA-12541 ...
- The client is requesting connection to a service.
- The service is derived from the alias used in the connection. For example, @orcl ... orcl = alias.
- The alias is used to look up the host, listener port and service in the tnsnames.ora
The listener is on the same machine as the database. The listener must be up and listening on the port the client want to use.
If the listener is not up, there wil be an "ORA-12541: TNS: no listener" error;
If the listener is listening on the wrong port, there wil be an "ORA-12541: TNS: no listener" error;
If the client is asking for the wrong port, there wil be an "ORA-12541: TNS: no listener" error.
To start the listener in Windows, go to the Control Panel > Administration Tools > Services and ensure the Ora?????Listener is started.
To verify the listener is up, open a command box, and type 'lsnrctl status'
To see what the client is expecting, on the client machine open a command box, and type 'tnsping {alias}' where you replace {alias} with the alias to be used in the connection.

Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

Mail 2.1.1 recieves but doesn't send mail and gives no error message?

I've an issue with mail on an I-Mac with 2 gig intel core duo running O/S 10.4.9 and mail app version 2.1.1. I was using the machine at my studio for a studio manager. I downsized the studio and gave that machine to my parents who have been using an old G4 I gave them running o/s X and using the mail app for all their e-mailing. I migrated their old system from the G4 to the I-mac via target mode and everything seemed to be working until they tried to type more than one word in the body of the e-mail. once you hit the space bar and try to type another word it just gives an error tone. Also they are not able to send mail but are able to recieve. There is absolutely no error message or tone when you hit send or hit the return key. It just does nothing and gives me no feedback. I have gone through all the settings from the old machine which is sending and recieving mail as it has for the last 3 years with out incidence. I've updated the software, verified and repaired the disk and permissions. They are using RCN as their ISP with a cable modem. Again the G4 is working as it should with the exact same settings that the I-mac is configured with. Is there some issue with the older intel machines? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks,
-Russ

This problem in Mail is usually caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption that affects the built-in spell checker. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.

If you can access Facebook while on Wifi at home, but you are unable to access it while away running on your carrier's 2G network, I could phone your carrier. You have already completed the Cellular Data troubleshooting for the iPhone, so any limitations keeping your from connecting to Facebook over cellular will have to be answered by your carrier.

This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Try reinstalling OS X. What version did you have installed? If it's Snow Leopard do this:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
