Wish I'd Seen This Site Before Buying

Wish I had seen this site before buying my laptop.  Purchased it on Jan. 4 and sent it in for repairs on Feb. 2.  Had had 3 different problems--2 with CD drive and the third and final was when the display backlight blew.  HP has now extended the delivery date for the 3rd time and when you talk to the 1-800 service number, you get an "I don't know" attitude and we'll see what we can do.   HP has had my laptop longer than I have and I think they should just send me a NEW (not reconditioned) laptop.  They don't seem to have any parts on hand to fix my computer---probably are getting their paperwork together to file Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.  You can bet I won't EVER buy another HP product.  Thanks for letting me vent my anger!!!!

--UPDATE--
Got the card working 5 minutes ago and logged onto the server to play BF242. After less than 5 minutes the thing raped my ears again with another high pitched squeal. As I'm typing this I have proper tinitus.
I have removed the card and I'm getting a refund tomorrow. I'm also downloading the realtek drivers and going back to onboard sound. Might not be particularly good, but it works and doesn't make my ears bleed when it decides not to.

    You should be able to change your e-mail address from your provider ... then edit it to meet the Apple requirements.   Unfortunately you've given us no profile details so we can't tell what device you have.

  • Never seen this happen before, have you?

    Hi everyone,
    I have never seen this happen before, were I edit a segment of video about 2 minutes long, I render it out and afterwards the clips in my edit change completely to something different. It takes footage from the same tape and replaces my clips with random clips.
    Does anyone know what is happening and how to fix it.
    I have just erased and installed a fresh copy of OSX and all my programs have been newly installed, hoping it would resolve this issue.
    I could really use someones opnion.
    Thank you in advance for all your help

    Only thing I though of was deleting the clips, renaming the timeline, moving the entire project onto a new harddrive and erasing all the render files.
    If this does not work I am going to toss my MAC out the window!

  • Is my iMac now useless as i have installed lion and i am no longer able to run cs2 photoshop and illustrator as this is all i use my mac for they should make this clear before buying it i can't afford the latest version of cs2

    is my iMac now useless as i have installed lion and i am no longer able to run cs2 photoshop and illustrator as this is all i use my mac for they should make this clear before buying it i can't afford the latest version of cs2 and cant believe what a waste of money it is.

    The newest version of CS2 is CS5. And it was made very clear that these applications would not run in Lion. Not only by Apple, but on all sorts of communities and websites. It has been a long time coming - PowerPC apps were outdated six years ago. Lion does not support Rosetta, and therefore not PPC apps.
    you have to options. Go back to Snow Leopard or upgrade your software. (MS Office 2004 and older will not run either).

  • Another site already exists at . Delete this site before attempting to create a new site with the same URL

    Hi Everyone,
    It would be great if you can help me with the below.
    Few days ago one of our content db went into suspect mode.  Our DB team had resolved the issue. But one of the sites that was created probably around the same time is no more available. When I try to create a site on the same URL, I get the following
    error.
    Another site already exists at <URL>. Delete this site before attempting to create a new site with the same URL
    When I try to delete the site or if I try to view the details of the site using Central Administration, I can find the site, but it doesn't display any details like Title, DB Name etc.
    If I use stsad -o enumsites command to list ll the site, for the given site I get the following error:
    <nativehr>0x80070002</nativehr><nativestack></nativestack>There is no Web named <URL>.
    I am not even able to delete it using Powershell.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks,
    Uttkarsh

  • TS1702 iBooks won't load PDF files any more on my Ipad2. Anybody seen this one before?

    Hello All,
    iBooks won't load PDF files any more.
    I have a lot of PDF files so I thought I reached a maximum number of files or space so I deleted a lot of old files but this did not help.
    I rebooted, synced, updated, restarted, etc. - everything that I can think of and I still have the same problem.
    I don't remembered the last file that I loaded into iBooks, as I usually put them into collections.
    I can still load PDF files into other applications like PDF Reader, but I prefer to have them all in iBooks.
    Anybody seen this one before?
    I have 64GB iPad2 and I have over 14GB free space.

    There have been several threads on this topic over the last few weeks. It's not clear what the issue is, and it is not universal, but tend to effect users storing large numbers of PDFs in iBooks. Possible it has some thing to dowith capacity of the app, or specific characteristics of some of the PDFs.

    Hey guys,
    Wondering if anyone has seen this before -
    Just a second ago I opened up a Logic session to start a mix. The tracks were recorded in PT HD, consolidated, and imported into Logic 8. I started playing the mix back and hit Command = to open up the mixer (i use PT commands in Logic) and everything all of the sudden slowed down and sounded like someone had dropped a bunch of springs on the floor or something.
    An error message came up saying "Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate of 22437 recognized." I shut off Logic, did not save, restarted my computer, opened the session again, and right when I hit my key command to open the mixer, that sound occurred and I got the same error message. However, if I click the Mixer tab, the sound doesn't occur and I don't get the error message, only when I use my key command.
    The tracks were recorded at 88.2/24 and imported into the session at 88.2/24, and yes, the sample rate of the session matches the sample rate of the tracks. And yes, all of my gear is clocked to 88.2 at the moment.
    Anyone have any ideas? Anyone seen this before?

    Strange, have you checked for doubled key commands?
    Logic defaults to "set locators by region/events" perhaps the key commands file has been corrupted.
    probably have already checked this.

  • Illustrator error message - anyone seen this one before?

    Hi there,
    I was merrily working on my logo yesterday in CS4, saved it as an .ai file, closed it down and now today when I go to open it I get this:
    "acrobat pdf file format is having difficulties. Object label badly formatted."
    Has anyone seen this before and have a way of fixing it? I went to my backups and they are all the same, not sure what else to do!!
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Hi all
    For some reason, every time I update my templates, it breaks
    all the javascript on the child pages. I have to go in to each
    child page individually and re-do the javascript again and then it
    works fine. It's all different types - SwapImage,
    OpenBrowserWindows, etc. Kind of ruins the ease of a template -
    anyone ever see this before? I don't know a whole lot about JS, so
    I can't tell what is breaking in the updates. Just thought I'd
    throw it out here and see if anyone else had a similar problem.
    Thanks, Q

    Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
    like this
    <iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe>

  • Never seen this error before - video importing

    Hello -
    I am trying to import 130 min movie from FCP into iDVD4 and am receiving an error in iDVD that I've never gotten before, "Unsupported file type: invalid video."
    The way I'm doing the import and the way I have always done it without issue, is:
    1. FCP > Export > QT movie
    2. QT > open FCP QT file > save as > rename file > it becomes a QT file
    3. iDVD > Import > video > import the QT file
    (so am not making it self-contained)
    I tried importing other QT files into the iDVD project, and they work fine. So I think it must be something with the FCP 130 movie, but unsure what it is?
    Many thanks,
    April

    I am trying to import 130 min movie from FCP into iDVD4 and am receiving an error in iDVD that I've never gotten before, "Unsupported file type: invalid video."
    Just curious ..... How did you manage to import 2 hours and 10 mins. of QT Playback into iDvd4? The application (iDvd4) simply isn't designed for this much QT playback ....

  • Bet you haven't seen this problem before....

    ...finally getting around to installing Leopard. Actually pre-bought it before it was released.
    Spent yesterday backing up my current OS onto an external hard drive (bootable) and it took awhile but finally finished and tested the back-up. SUCCESS!!!
    OK.....ready to install Leopard. Turned off all running apps, inserted the Leopard install DVD, it comes onto the desktop, double click the install icon and then clicked restart.
    Computer restarts and what do I get?

    WHAT!?!?
    Do the entire process again.....+insert the Leopard install DVD, it comes onto the desktop, double click the install icon and then click restart.+

    Has anyone ever gotten a dud install disk???

    I suspect this may be the cause of your problem: the Leopard install DVD must contain a version of OS X capable of booting the target Mac, & the "first edition" disks that were released prior to the release of a few of the newer Macs won't do that because they lack certain hardware drivers those Macs require. IIRC, Leopard's original, slightly delayed release date was early in October of 2007. Your profile indicates you have a 20" 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac, possibly the iMac (Mid 2007) model which was released slightly before that (sometime in August).
    Theoretically, that means the DVD was released after your Mac & this should not be an issue, but because of the delayed release of Leopard & the close proximity of the release date of this iMac, it is possible your DVD does not support it. If so, you will need to contact Apple about replacing your retail Leopard disk with the current one, or at least a newer version than the first one released. (I believe that was P/N MB021Z/A, containing OS version 10.5. Any disk containing 10.5.1 or later should work for your iMac.)

  • Has anyone seen this prob before (printing)

    I have the following code to print a JTable
    PrinterJob pj=PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    PageFormat pf = pj.pageDialog(pj.defaultPage());
    pj.setPrintable(this, pf);
    try{
    pj.print();
    }catch (Exception PrintException) {
    System.out.println(PrintException);
    (I have the rest of the code, ie. the print method, but I didn't think it was revalent to this prob., if you would like to see it I will post it)
    the code works fine, but when the print dialog is brought up, if the user clicks on the "x" at the top right hand of the dialog to close it, the table is printed anyway. Has anyone encountered this before??? If so is there a fix????

    Not 100%. Has a different set of problems but try something like:
           PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
            Book book = new Book();
            PageFormat pf = printJob.pageDialog(printJob.defaultPage());
            if (printJob.printDialog()) {
                    this.setWaitCursor();
                    book.append(jTable1, pf, jTable1.getPageCount(jTable1.getGraphics(), pf));
                    printJob.setPageable(book);
                    try {  printJob.print();
                         } catch (Exception PrintException) { PrintException.printStackTrace(); }
                   this.setDefaultCursor();
             }
