problem of retro!

Years, I had an audio setup really successful on an old PC. I tried to find again to make music, but had problems with getting all the stuff that I had to talk to each other. I had a good, but the old sound card, and I got the software and devices that were brand new. The old sound card must be windows XP. Required at least seven windows news.

So I came with the idea to get your hands on an old PC with XP, install the old software and hardware that work if well for me, and then make music on my new machine and that to the audio of the retro machine, connecting so that I could track all multi etc. that allowed my old card his duplex.

EBay beckons. I found a Dell Dimension 3000.
Cheap, with screen and keyboard etc and a pick up of a few miles. Disk formatted, but had the XP disc and serial number. Optical drive does not.

No problem, I thought. I have several drives CD/DVD old spare parts, including an external USB disk if necessary.

In practice, however, I tried every trick I can think and get nowhere. The computer will not recognize the readers, and there is nothing in the BIOS that allows me to get it to look.

I tried to remove battery from the BIOS. I tried to use another IDE cable. I tried to use fittings of different power and different CD/DVD players. Nothing works. I tried to connect a different hard drive. As far as this PC was concerned he no longer had a hard drive, and there is no option anywhere in the BIOS to get one.

And without OS installed, I can't get much further than the BIOS.

I'm out of ideas.

Can anyone help?

IDE Dells require all THE DRIVES to CABLE SELECT or all THE CONTROLLERS.

ALL disks in master / slave configuration can damage and prevents ALL READERS to be seen in the bios.

Then there is the problem of the PATA 80 wire cables.   They are color coded.

Blue goes to the motherboard.  BLACK goes to zero in car and GRAY goes to disk 1.

This is the case for the DVD/CDROM as hard drives.

  • Retro-lighting/tick problem

    8 gb Fuze, firmware V01.01.15a.

    When the backlight turns off, the audio picks up a fast tick-tick-tick sound.

    I tested it on all the different backlight settings of the timer up to an hour, and when the backlight turns off, the tick returns. If I press a button to pull the rear backlight, the tick goes. I can work around keep it with the parameter 60 min backlight - the light on all the time - but it's playing table with my battery life.

  • U3014 problems

    I just bought my new u3014 and brilliant. It looks great, but unfortunately I encountered some problems basically immediately. Grateful for any advice and suggestions.  My PC is also new and performs a single ASUS nVidia graphics Titan.  I installed the latest drivers and am sure that all the cables are properly connected.

    1. small black lines all over the screen. I was surprised to see them, but they are tiny and thin black lines all over the screen, causing images to look as if some kind of retro fiction filter applies to them. My previous 24 "HP monitor had no such lines.  I tried various resolutions, but of course mainly work in the native 2560 x 1600 a.

    2. you have to look carefully to notice, but there is no on-screen noise all over the screen which makes the black lines kind of 'shift' when you look closely. I noticed it only happens when I use the cable supplied displayport/mini displayport, but does not occur when I use the supplied DVI cable.

    3. apparently, the random color temperature shifts.  It is certainly the most annoying.  The screen seems to change the color temperature according to what is on the screen. For example, if I open a window that is mostly white (like this page of forum for example) to take any office space, but then opened a smallish window that would take, for example, a quarter of the screen space but it is much darker (for example, a library of steam which is gray window dark, almost black), there is a chance that the temperature of color for the entire screen moves instantly.  It is very sensitive and very frustrating.  It seems to happen most often when I use the DVI cable, but also occurs when I use the displayport cable.

    I'm cautiously optimistic with a good displayport cabe (full-size for both ends) may fix all or part of that maybe I'm just something wrong.  No matter which input received with gratitude.

    Thank you.

  • curious problem with extrusion and rotation

    I found a curious problem with extrusion and turn into the CS6. It's not a bug, but it's a behavior that is less intuitive who is confused and sometimes painful. I think it is something that should go on the list of tasks for the devs. Someone else, right? Don't agree?

    Example:

    Rotate_issue.jpg

    I started with a path arrow, to which I applied the effect "extrude". I then put an icon on top of the arrow and grouped in the icon and the arrow. Now, I use this icon arrow in several different parts of my design, in different orientations. I flip the arrow, the relative position of the icon and the arrow seems to pass. I believe that this is happening because when you rotate the arrow icon, Illustrator rotates both the icon and the arrow on the center of the underside of the arrow. This is because the upper side of the arrow is essentially fictitious, just an artifact of the effect of extrusion. So, even if the icon appears as if it is drawn on the upper side of the arrow, it behaves as if it is attached to the underside of the arrow. When you apply a transformation, this transformation impacts on the underside of the arrow, causing the top of offset from the icon.

    The solution would be to add an extra box to the effect of extrusion, asking if you wanted to extrusion (the way things are currently done) upwards or downwards. If you can extrude downwards, then the upper side of the arrow would be the 'real' face, those affected by the changes. You can then put a picture on the top, the arrow and the image of the group, and when you apply a transformation, the icon would remain fixed relative to the top, which would be consistent with your intuitive expectations.

    If anyone is curious to experiment with this particular example, I posted this file in Google Docs here:

    https://docs.Google.com/file/d/0B0Hoxcl5zTEtTXo5QnNsMGwwOGc/edit?USP=sharing

    It's about what you just mount the image with a transformative effect to match the extrusion.

    So basically, you apply a 3-d rotation effect to your image to match the rotation of your arrow, then you apply a transformation movement in the vertical axis to match the height of your extrusion.

    hope this helps

    https://docs.Google.com/file/d/0B4ilRoSBagc3d2w2Ylc2cWxFVjA/edit

    If you want to get real on this issue retro we only corresponding to the rotation of the arrow in the center of the extrusion, if we wanted to distort the image perfectly, the rotation should be slightly higher, but anyway, it is hardly noticeable.

  • Urgent: How differentiate between retro and payroll in fast formula

    I wrote a quick formula. This quick form is attached to the element of "basic salary".
    "Base salary" item has retro setting and proration.
    We use retro processes strengthened.
    Improved retro process calls this quick formula to verify the amount of the difference.
    Similarly, oracle payroll will also call the same formula fast when running on the payroll.

    Now, our requirement is:
    ----------------------------------
    A few lines in fast formula should not run when FF is called by retro, but it must be run when it is called by the payroll.
    So, how could we know if FF is called process retro or payroll?
    If I have a way to find this, I can run that code using this condition.
    Any pointer in this regard will be highly appreciated.

    None of the above... Just write a function custom PLSQL who will be ID action of payroll as a context parameter & returns the table PAY_PAYROLL_ACTIONS... action_type column to the fast formula. L is for Retro throw.

    In the quick formula, place the specific code in the if condition.

    ATTENTION: Make the formula calculate differently in normal payroll & retro you can cause serious problems of consistency in payments/deductions and their debugging might become impossible in the long term.

  • MacBook Pro display problem

    Hello members of the community.

    As of recently, I have noticed some glitches when feeding on my MacBook or awakened from his sleep.

    The colors are distorted, usually with pink, green, or yellow blobs. Blobs cannot entirely replace the colors, they appear to be contained in a element would normally be. For example. the menu bar will be partially pink and white, but pink does not leave the menu bar in this area, and the Office has green lines on it.

    I tried to take a screenshot, but the problem resolves in about 20 seconds, but it's a recurring problem.

    It happens when I wake up, connection or not. I had also certain powers serious and problems of performance, such that my MagSafe LED would not illuminate when plugged on rare occasions, fan could turn unnecessarily, graphics performance were SUPER slow, and the health of my battery was running out quickly. I actually ran a report on the system at 2 different times and my quality of full load is depleting of 1.2% per charge cycle, which is very worrying. I went from 6281 mAh mAh 6138 maximum capacity after two cycles of load. I'm tracking closely it because at this rate, my battery will survive only at load cycles about 150 instead of the 1000 expected, gives me the idea that this could very well be a bad battery. The computer is also warm to the touch while you sleep, not connected to the power supply. I NAP active but even taking into account should not be hotter my iPhone did the same thing.

    I have reset the SMC, and it solved a couple of problems. The charger works fine now and my performance improved considerably (which made me feel better, either it is a high-performance laptop, a 11-inch MacBook Air should not he surpass), and battery life has improved. I feel even if it uses a lot of power in his sleep. Maybe I need to turn off the NAP and see if that makes a difference. The graphic bug still persists however, and I don't have enough time to see if the max battery is depleting again.

    In regards to the bug, is there something that can be done? Basically, I want to assure you that I took all appropriate measures or if someone else has this problem to see if it can be software related instead of my computer.

    I have the entry level MacBook Pro with the retina, last generation.

    Any constructive contribution welcome!

    See you soon.
