• "Setup is preparing your computer for first use" loop problem

  Hello, I was hoping you guys could help out me with a big problem, I ran across when trying to install Windows 7 on a desktop computer new, custom - build. I managed to successfully install my Windows 7 64-bit, it appeared, but when I try to run it, that I will meet a black screen that says "Setup is preparing your computer for first use" and it will stay there forever, I would say. I let it run all night and didn't go anywhere.

  I tried to start in safe mode, and Windows was loading files sys32, he got to "Classpnp.sys" and it froze. After a few minutes, the screen is blacked out, and I got fired the familiar screen "Setup is preparing your computer for first use.

  I bought the copy of Windows 7 nine FRY, there will be no problem with that. My HD is a (new) 240 GB PNY Optima SSD, my mobo is a (new) Z97X-SLI Gigabyte, and I have 16 GB of RAM. All these things have been recognized by my BIOS, it seems that everything is properly connected.

  I tried to install Windows 7 on a second time and exactly the same thing happened. I also tried to repair the installation to start upward, but he finds no problems. Also a check of the memory and the disk has verified without any problem. The only things I plugged are my monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

  Does anyone know of a workaround for this screen loop "first use"? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Set of utilities to test for computer HARDWARE manufacturers:

  Note: If you are Overclocking or use an automatic overclocking or BIOS power saving features, start by disabling: Intel EIST, Turbo Mode, Cool and pretty and fall back to the speed of stock as a starting point.

  Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.

  Look for any loose hard drive power or cables SATA, graphics card or other power cables.

  First run Memtest86 +:

  It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory

  sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.

  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), if no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

• vSpere 5 Networking of best practices for the use of 4 to 1 GB NIC?

  Hello

  I'm looking for a networking of best practices for the use of 4-1 GB NIC with vSphere 5. I know there are a lot of good practice using 10 GB, but our current config does support only 1 GB. I need to include the management, vMotion, Virtual Machine (VM) and iSCSi. If there are others you would recommend, please let me know.

  I found a diagram that resembles what I need, but it's for 10 GB. I think it works...

  (I had this pattern HERE - rights go to Paul Kelly)

  My next question is how much of a traffic load is each object take through the network, percentage wise?

  For example, 'Management' is very small and the only time where it is in use is during the installation of the agent. Then it uses 70%.

  I need the percentage of bandwidth, if possible.

  If anyone out there can help me, that would be so awesome.

  Thank you!

  -Erich

  Without knowing your environment, it would be impossible to give you an idea of the uses of bandwidth.

  That said if you had about 10-15 virtual machines per host with this configuration, you should be fine.

• New installation of Windows 7 Ultimate, computer loops and again: "the installation program prepares your computer for first use.

  I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on my Toshiba Tecra A4-S211 and provided that the installation went, it seemed that took place without incident; except that when I try to start windows I see: "Starting windows" followed by "Setup prepares your computer for first use" that is displayed for about 3-5 seconds and then it restarts and displays abruptly: "cannot start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. "I tried the safe mode, but also"last known good configuration"and I get the same results. Finally, I tried the repair function on the installation disc and says am Startup Repair is unable to repair the computer automatically, where then I click to send information to Microsoft to be told that if I had all the devices attached like a camera or portable music player to remove them and restart. I have nothing set, no flash player or anything.
  I tried to do all the steps above a dozen times each, and the results are consistent, except that the start of repair is sometimes said that there is nothing wrong with windows. Here also to point out that I had XP running on it before without problem and I tested the DVD on another computer and it worked.

  Hi Austin,.

  You can try some of them in Mode safe - tap F8 repeatedly that you start.

  If you do not have a Windows 7 disc, you can borrow a friends because they are not a copy
  protected. The manufacturer of your system will also sell the physical DVD cheap since you already
  Clean Windows. You can also do an ERD on another computer.

  Try the Startup Repair - (if at anytime, benefit you from some, but not full access coming to Windows
  return and then try to startup repair.)

  ...
  
  What is the impact on the track I could expect and what problems should I be informed when doing something like that?

  The best practice is NOT to use reserved words anywhere.

• realization of a film with lots of photos and some videos

  Hi all

  I'm planning a video with lots of photos in quick succession, interspersed with a few short videos.  I'll probably have a few hundred photos and maybe half a dozen of the footage.  The stills are all 12 mega pixels in their original resolution; they come from three different cameras and are a mixture of the guidelines portrait or landscape.  The clips come from a Canon point and shoot, or an iPhone.  The final video will be 720 x 480.

  I use CS6 (Photoshop and Premier Pro especially at this point) on a Mac Mini running OS 10.7 (Lion).

  My questions are:

  1. is there a way to change the default length that a still is displayed in the timeline panel.  Right now the default length is 5 seconds, but I'd like to change that about 0.5 or 1.0 second.  I don't want to change the display time of each that I place it in the window of the program.

  2. is there a complete way to select all the files I want, their re - sample at the correct resolution and drop them in my project folder.  Photoshop offers batch processing, which does not seem useful for my purpose, and an image processor, that meets my needs almost except that I can not only select files, entire folders.  I guess I could move all the files I want to use in a separate folder and then use the image to resample, processor etc.  It is the most efficient workflow?  Can the images be resampled in Premier Pro directly?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Kevin H.

  1 default preferences/general/Still Image.

  2 batch resizing is done in Photoshop, something PP can't do.

  PP can reduce the stills to 100% when using framesize suitable scale, but you're still stuck with the 12 mega pixels for each again.
