  Follow the info below to try a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  If yours falls into the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  There is not a disk of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• After installing SP2 for Vista, everything that I try to print from this computer prints in poster format.

  After installing SP2 for Vista, everything that I try to print from this computer prints in format post little matter what I tell the printer to do.  I use a laptop Acer Aspire 9410, 32-bit, Windows Vista, IE 8.  Commands from another computer on the printer work properly.  Should I uninstall SP 2 & reinstall?  Or what is the best fix for the problem?  Thank you.

• BlackBerry smartphones, what are the benefits of using the spindle to spindle and BBM?

  I have not used BBM again but was compose and send messages pins (peer-to-peer). Is this the same thing as the BBM and what are the benefits of each? Are they better than just SMS?  Would like to have an explanation, because I'm confused!  Thank you!!

  BBM and PIN messages are messages sent from one BlackBerry to another.  The message is composed by the sender and goes through the secure server of the RIM before being delivered to the recipient.  They are only available for BlackBerry users.

  The thing I like about them, it is how you can see if they have been received by the recipient.  Once the message reaches the recipient's phone, you will notice a small would be "at the beginning of your message.  In other words, that it is delivered.  When the recipient opens the message, who had "will change to a 'R' for 'reading'.  So now you know that it is actually received by the recipient.

  One more great thing about these messages, it's that there is no length limit.  As you probably know, most carriers limit SMS 160 characters; not the case with these messages, they can be much longer.

  BBM and PIN messages are of the same type of message, but with PIN messages, you are limited to just contact reception.  With BBM, you can have a lot of contacts on a cat, or you can broadcast a message to multiple contacts at the same time.

  I hope this explains things for you.

• What are the benefits (if any) of transcoding to an intermediate editing for post production format?

  I have searched for an answer final to this day and impossible to get something useful.

  My recordings to the AVCHD format that is 24mbps H.264 video and audio camera (I record audio separately so audio is not a cause for concern). I use the following Adobe CC on Windows. I do a lot of green screen work.

  I read on many intermediate codecs designed for video editing. Include DNxHD of Avid, Apple ProRes, Cineform of GoPro, MXF OP1a, among others. As I understand it, these formats offer excellent features help video publishers to do their work.

  I was able to edit files directly AVCHD with Premiere Pro and after affects.

  My question is, what are the benefits, if any, I'd get if I converted my content from AVCHD to one of the intermediate formats before as I have start to change? It would speed up Adobe software? It would provide the best quality in the end? It would make various effects function better?

  Ultimately, all the videos I do will be encoded in the format h.264 for web distribution.

  Please note: I am not asking the workflow easier or more obvious (which is just to work with AVCHD files directly). I want to know if I can gain advantages in transcoding in another format before I in post-production and that these benefits are specifically for each of the different intermediate codecs.

  Thank you.

  Well, every format has its own advantages and disadvantages. Higher end codecs tend to be very large and take much more space, but behave better when apply effects or greenscreen work.

  However, you cannot really improve the quality that comes from your camera, it is an indispensable part of the workflow. You CAN transcode to, say, ProRes HQ and get better results with your fx work, but it will be as good as something turned on a higher end camera.

  Maybe do some tests on a small piece of video. Transcode into several codecs and do exactly the same treatment to all clips, including your original. Then compare them and see if the improvement is worth your time and additional hard drive space.

  Hi Colonel biggs,

  Welcome to the Forums Microsoft Vista

  This problem may occur if one of the following conditions is true:

  · A program on your computer interfered with the installation of the service pack.

  · There is an inconsistency in the store of Windows services. The store Windows maintenance is a required component to install service packs.

  To resolve this problem, try each resolution in the 'General resolution"and the"Advanced Troubleshooting"section in the order in which they are presented. After trying a resolution, try to install the service pack again. If you can't always install the service pack, try the next resolution.

  Resolution 1: Install the stand-alone package for the service pack instead of using Windows Update to install the Service Pack

  Note If you have already tried to install the stand-alone package for the service pack and you have encountered this problem, skip this resolution and go to resolution 2.

  If you don't know if you've tried to install the stand-alone package for the service pack, it is recommended that you try the following steps to install the stand-alone package for the service pack. By using the stand-alone package to install the service pack, you eliminate installation issues that may be related to Windows Update. This simplifies the troubleshooting process

  Solution 2: Run the system update readiness tool

  System Update tool checks your computer and trying to resolve certain conditions that can interfere with the installation of the updates or other software. However, before you download the tool, you must determine whether your computer is running a 32-bit version or a 64 bit version of the Windows Vista operating system. If your computer is Windows Vista installed, and you know which version you are using, go to the section "how to download the system update readiness tool. If you are unsure which version your computer has installed, follow these steps:

  1. click on Start

  2. collapse this includes it in the Search box, type System, and then click System in the programs list.

  The operating system is displayed as follows:

  · For a 32 - bit version operating system, 32-bit operating system appears for the system type under System.

  · For a 64 - bit version operating system, 64-bit operating system appears for the system type under System.

  After you determine which version of Windows Vista, your computer is running, download system update readiness tool.

  Resolution 3: Close or disable any applications that may be running, restart the computer and then install the service pack

  1. Close all applications and restart your computer.
  2. Once your computer has restarted, disable any antivirus or any antispyware application that can load during the startup process. You can normally disable the notification area application. This area is located in the bottom right corner of the computer screen. To disable an application in the notification area, follow these steps:
  1. 1. Right-click the icon of the third-party program.
     2. Click Close, disable, outputor an equivalent term in the list of options. If these options are not available, you may open the application and then close or disable in the application.
  2. As soon as you close the antivirus or the antispyware software, try to install the download package full of the service pack that you previously downloaded from the following Microsoft Download Center Web site:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads)

  1. After completing the installation of the service pack, enable the antivirus or the antispyware software that you disabled in the previous steps.

• My computer didn't work since I installed SP2 for Vista

  After installing service pack 2 for Vista my computer restarted itself and everything that appears is the screen with the following message Windows Boot Manager:

  Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

  1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
  2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".
  3. click on "Repair your computer."

  If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

  File: \Windows\system32\drivers\pci.sys
  Status: 0xc0000098
  Info: Windows could not load a critical system driver is missing or corrupt.

  No matter what I do, the computer always comes back to the screen. I tried to insert my installation disc, but the computer does not recognize it. (I have no Vista disks, I have the installation disc that came with my Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop.

  Suggestions?

  1 make the repair disk Bootable from the info below and do a startup repair.

  2 Dell reinstall info.

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If the restore does not work, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  As your falls into the above category: download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Above information shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

• Can I still use my PCI-4351 for readings of tc type t, even if the unit is out of tolerance in the +/-2 .5V range?

  Hello

  I use a PCI-4351 for readings of TC type T, and after receiving it back from calibration, the 2.5V range came out by - 0.00003 V.  The rest of the calibration is within the tolerance.  Please tell us if the 2.5V range is used for playback of the thermocouple type T with the accessory CB - 68 t.  From my understanding, I don't think that the 0.625V beach is used for measurements of TC, and they all calibration.

  Thank you for your help.

  Michael Carter

  Hi Michael,

  You're right that you'll only need the gamme.625 for this measure.

  I am very disappointed to hear that your device was not properly calibrated.  It was our calibration?  If it were, I can try to you allow to send to us or something like that to remedy this situation.

  If there is anything else I can do to help correct this problem please let me know.
