• Build machine for CS5,

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone would be able to check this version of the computer and make recommendations. I'm about to start editing video, DV and HD. "I don't need the best system, because it is not for work, and I would try and keep the price down, however it would be nice to ' future proof ' he.

  That's what I was up to now:

  CPU Intel Core i7 950 [3 GHz / 8 MB/QPI/LGA1366 4.8GT] [BX80601950] 1 359.00

  Motherboard Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 [Intel X 58, LGA1366, DDR3, ATX] 1 359.00

  RAM Kingston 6 GB (3x2Go) DDR3 PC-10600 1333 MHz DIMM Kit [KVR1333D3N9K3 / 6G] 2 189.00

  BLURAY and DVD-RW discs LG 22 x drive internal SATA - OEM-black [GH22NS50] 1 39.00

  I read somewhere here that it would be better with Microsoft Windows 7 Pro. I'm also a bit hesitant on the graphics card: a friend told to get down and save money, or is it better to switch to a Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX470 1280 MB GDDR5 PCI - Express2.0 [N470UD-13 or something similar.]

  If anyone at any time to make suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

  Jimmy

  Jimmy,

  The FX 580 is a waste of money. Download the GTX 460 and 470.

  The memory at least 12 GB, 6 x 2 or preferably 3 x 4 GB, so you have future space to grow.

  The power supply is a bit small, 650 W is probably not sufficient. Look here eXtreme Power Supply Calculator Pro v2.5

  and download the Pro version, the value of CPU load to 100% and capacitor aging to 30% and then add 10 to 15% for safety.

  Get a big Tower instead of a tower of the midi. Best cooling, more expansion room, an installation easier and better cable management.

  Get some discs. Look here: Forums Adobe: generic guideline for disk configuration

  Use Win7 Pro.

  Consider a BR/DVD burner.

• Help the computer Tablet for CS5

  Hello, I am a lover of wildlife videographer. I have currently to change HD (Ribbon and cards) sequences using CS4, but will be upgrading CS5 after I get a new computer for this. I just started watching and I have some questions!  I'm HPE390t from HP (later of WIn7 64 bit) Intel Corei7 960 X six-core Extreme Edition (3.33 GHz, 1.5 MB L2 + 12 12 MB memory shared L3 cache memory 24 GB DDR3 HD 2 TB Raid 0)  Now the question arises what Nvidia graphics card should I consider? I am looking at GeForce FTX 285 or better, in view also of the Quadro FX 3800. Any help is appreciated! Thank you Jean matusik

  The i7-960 is a quad core CPU. You probably mean the 980 X, which is a hex core CPU.

  The GTX 285 is no longer manufactured. Better, get a GTX 470 or 480. And instead of a single raid0 to your boot disk, have a separate boot disk and add a few more disks to your system intenally. Too bad, you opt for HP, it makes it extremely expensive, but it's your choice.

• X 6 Phenom 1055 t / GT 240 build for CS5?

  I build a PC for CS5 production as a fort/sidejob hobby video.

  Putting aside all the other standard parts of a PC, would be an AMD Phenom X 6 1055 t. (2.8 ghz) with an nVidia GT 240 1 GB Gigabyte perform well enough in Premiere Pro to help me get started?

  I thought that the GT 240 would be able to use the MPE enough to help the processor a bit and a six hearts, while AMD, would be great for editing.

  I understand that Intel is the "way forward", but I like the idea of a more affordable six-core which will be probably more extensible, especially when the Bulldozer out. It's less strong incompatibility reasons do not go with AMD for a CS5 version.

  The comments appreciated.

  If you are willing to invest in a CPU, you will be penalized heavy performance and will be easily outclassed by what whether Intel, go ahead.

  For video editing, AMD is far behind Intel, because of missing SSE extensions, which are widely used for encoding. So the short Advisor is: No.

• Another post "this set of operation will be OK for CS5.5?

  This again is another question "is the computer I want to be good enough for CS5.5." Before I ask you to please forgive my ignorance and the length of this post. I am new to having to worry about hardware. In the past any decent PC meets my needs, but I find that this is the case I now need to edit video.

  So I'll start with my special needs. I need portability. I am a student and directing a summer camp. In my role at the camp, I identified the need to improve our hardware promotional camp, and that's where video editing comes into play. I will be filming and editing of several short promotional films and a couple of short documentary style using DSLR footage and perhaps a small camcorder or two. After much research and play with some free trial software, I have it set on CS5.5, but there is that one problem, my computer is not up to the task. Conveniently enough, my current computer has seen better days, and it's time to spend anyway, so I was searching and shopping around trying to find a suitable computer. That portability is a must and I can't afford a decent desktop and a laptop (and even if I could it would be boring data transfer back), I've been looking at laptops. It seems that any mobile off - the shelf that is well suited to run adobe isn't really all that portable. Of course, you can carry it much easier that a computer desk, but you can't expect to get a full day in the life of the battery out of it, are not a reasonable weight to carry around the creation (my point is that a computer 17 "laptop is out). I did some digging, and after reading a lot of posts on this forum and a lot of information from other sources, I think I came up with a solution. I am looking for admission in any people of enthusiasts see potential problems with my idea, and for dell sales representatives are not tech savvy, so I thought it was a good place to discover how well adobe would go on my set - up proposed (I'm not a pro and won't be of feature films (, edition, so I don't think that I need the same performance that your desktop wearing I have just need to perform well with as few hold ups as possible).

  Here's what I came with:

  Dell XPS 14z:

  • Intel core i-7 2640 M (2.8 GHz, with "turbo boost" up to 3.50 GHz)
  • 8 GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM
  • 750 GB SATA, HDD 7200 RPM
  • NVIDIA Geforce 520 M 1 GB graphics card
  • The only information about the screen resolution I could find on the site web of Dell were "true 720 p HD display" after reading a few reviews, I found the specs are lower that the minimum recommended by Adobe, I forget exactly what they are.

  If this computer is no longer that I never needed for my needs no video editing. On paper, it's a nice small laptop, a little expensive ($1300!), but they can be had at a very reasonable price ($700 - $800) refurbished Dell online workshop. None-the-less, I see several problems with this configuration.

  First is the screen: it is not enough. Which is easily solved using an external monitor, and you can get a pretty decent screen off tiger direct for less than $200. I can tolerate a video editing at a desk, I need portability to other applications.

  Second is the hard drive. Reading this forum, I understand that editing with a single hard disk can slow things down a bit. I was wondering how big a deal it really is for the occasional Editor? There are adapters that allow you to place a second hard drive, where the optical drive is in this laptop. If necessary, I intend to put a second 750 GB 7200 rpm HARD drive where is the optical drive. Problem solved, right? Did anyone see any problem with this idea? My next question on the subject of the hard drive is: how would a third hard drive really benefit me? And data transfer using a with a USB 3.0 external HARD drive connection be fast enough to be a viable option for a third drive? Anyway I could take an appropriate hard drive and caddy for a little less than $175 and $100 for a USB 3.0 external HARD drive to be used as a third drive if necessary.

  The third potential problem is the RAM. It seems there are a lot of opinions out there about how much is enough. 8 GB is enough? According to the website of intel, this particular processor is compatible with up to 16 GB of RAM, and after searching the forums I found a few cases of people expand their RAM on this computer to 16 GB with no problems. I understand that I can replace the 2 x 4 GB current implemented with 1x4Go + 1X8GB or 2x8GB to give a total of 12 or 16 GB of RAM. Is it necessary or even beneficial?  8 GB would be more than enough for anything else I do, and since I have some experience with video editing I thought I would ask those who know. Need an upgrade of RAM? By using this configuration, I could update the RAM 12 GB for about $100 and 16 GB for about $200.

  Finally, the graphics card that is provided with this computer is not on the list of cards recommended by Adobe. I understand that this is because it only supports CUDA, how much of an issue is it? I'll be able to edit video without recommended card effectively?

  The point of all numbers is as follows: 800 + 200 + 175 + 100 = 1, 275. $ 1275ish seems to me that I could get a very reasonable video editing set up which is always portable. It is less than the price of the tile on these laptops and much less than a Mac book pro, which is the world's first recommendation when I mention that I want to use the computer for video editing. This looks like a very reasonable price for a laptop with a processor intel 2.8 GHz i7, two 750 GB 7200 rpm HDD, 12 GB of RAM, and an external monitor when I want to sit and change. Am I delusional thinking it would go well with CS5.5?

  So I guess the point is the following. Life is any compromise, since I need portability and I am not a professional (just an anal consumer with high standards :), I am willing to trade a little performance for improved portability of video editing. I want the opinion of those who have experience using CS5.5 with different layouts, my proposed set-up seems like a reasonable compromise? Improvements are still needed? They would be sufficient to provide a reasonable editing experience? All the other tips (not to mention than buying a desktop computer or a computer wicked expensive 17 "laptop which weighs two to three times more expensive and chews through the battery life)?

  Thank you for sticking with it and give me any comments. We appreciate it!

  Benson,

  Trying to stick with your original objectives and I think I can see where you're going, I have some tips and suggestions...

  -Since the SLR CAMERAS and camcorders (I guess as ACHDV) are very difficult codecs; I suggest that you consider only Intel QM 32nm processors (i.e. i7 2670QM w / 4 carrots + hyperthreading); Having twice the nuclei is HUGE for CS5/5.5

  -Suggest that go with a 14 "display 1600 x 900 for a good compromise between size, weight and cost

  -A video installation of nVidia level "gamers" will allow the massively useful EMT be put on (carrots GPU cuda)

  -8 GB of RAM will work; of course the 16 GB would allow for faster burns to DVD, but I don't feel that to be a need

  -Supports for the conversion of optical Bay NewModeUS are asesome to add a 2.5 "2nd if you need to change on the fly, but since you said you don't need this capability I suggest you get the external drive USB3.0 to 7200 RPM bigger, more formidable, you can plug in when you change. Of course a RAID 0 (disk 2) peripheral USB 3.0 would be even more ideal, but it can also break your budget.

  -Dell Alienware M14x meets all of these criteria; Yes, it will be a little heavier. Yes, it will be more expensive. But, more important still, it will get the job done. Any laptop ' thin, light and smooth "and which includes the current more little line of Macbook Pro won't be so IMHO.

  Kind regards

• Vista goes to 50% CPU usage and connects the computer for hours after the beginning

  Original title: Vista processor

  Stupid Vista goes to 50% CPU usage and connects the computer for hours after the start.  Cannot run anything with any request of CPU without getting bogged down and crashing.  It is not windows defender, I suspend this service and the machine is ok for another 1/2 hour, them I'm up to 50% of the CPU.  The idle process said Task Manager is > 90%, still indicates 50% CPU usage and the cooling fan looks like a 747 taking off.  Should I just pull the machine and go for Linux, or what?  Cannot run games or whatever it is, totally disgusted with vista of POS and microsoft can it Deep and do not get windows 7, it is probably worse.  Is that all I can turn off to get the same performance than, say, windows 3.1?  It would be preferable to the current situation.  MSCKMA.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• "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.

  I have "using an InDesign CS5 with Folio Builder tools installed, still when I tried to connect I get the message"connection failed. Please try again', I tried again and again and nothing changes. How can I log in folio builder in my InDesign CS5?

  DPS is no longer supported for CS5 and CS5.5. You need CS 6 or CC.

• Download updates for CS5 arrested

  As I downloaded the updates for CS5, the process stopped with a request that I close "Bridge.exe" what is this?  I did a search on my computer and couldn't find it.  The update will not proceed without my doing this.  What should I do?

  If you are using windows, open the Task Manager and check the running processes.

  If mac, check your activity monitor.

• Download the 64 bit version for CS5 Production Premium

  I move my apps from a PC to 4 strands for a PC of 6 cores for increased speed.  In doing so, the 6 - core will become my second computer with CS5.

  The 64-bit versions of CS5 Production Premium are not on the discs of CS5 and have been downloaded automatically later still available?

• Can I switch my academic license for CS5 Master Collection to a regular license for the same thing?

  Can I switch my academic license for CS5 Master Collection to a regular license for the same thing?

  If Yes, how much does it cost?

  I'm not allowed to resell my academic license as it is. So, I explore the most cost-effective way for me to get a full license for CS6.

  I understand that academic licenses at regular licenses upgrades do both in a new license which can be sold together. So, maybe it would be cheaper to spend an academic license for CS5 Master Collection to a regular license for CS5 Master Collection, that it would upgrade the software to a later version.

  My reason for the continuation of the full version is that I have upgraded my equipment a lot and don't like versions of the software upgrade, since it requires twice the same software installation. I would rather sell off the previous version and buy a full version. From my experience, this procedure usually ends the same, sometimes cheaper. But, above all, it makes the management of software much easier.

  What Bob says. You can only upgrade to current versions of Adobe products. Currently CS6.

  Your upgrade path is CS5 Master Collection Edu to CS6 Master Collection (upgrade) for US$ 1 049

  or join the creative cloud.

  My reason for the continuation of the full version is that I have upgraded my equipment a lot and don't like versions of the software upgrade, since it requires twice the same software installation.

  With Adobe software, you just have to install the latest version - even if it's an upgrade on a computer brand new with the previous installation of any Adobe software. Any upgrade of the discs and downloads contain full versions of the software. The installation program recognizes complete and updated versions to update via the serial number.

  So when installing version CS6 Master Collection on a brand new PC (no Adobe software) previous upgrade, you install only CS6.

  The CS6 installer will ask your CS6 serial number and will recognize that it is a series of upgrade. It will then ask a serial number for a longer early version. Which must be CS5 or CS5.5 due to the new political upgrade a back version of Adobe.

  You enter your serial number CS5 Edu and CS6 Setup will continue.

  However, you can find the creative cloud a better fit for you, especially if you're a frequent recovery plant.

  The cloud for you as an owner of CS5 will first be $29.99 US/month for the first 12 months. Then, he'll be back at full price (currently US$ 49.99/month).

  Keep in mind that if/when your Cloud membership expires or is cancelled, you lose use and access to the software. You will then return to CS5 Master Edu with no upgrade path. At this point, it's an all or nothing ask from Adobe.

• Master Collection CS5 is still available for download? I don't have that a license key for CS5 and CS6

  I don't have a license key for CS5 and CS6 not because I was a student at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and license keys have been distributed to all students for CS5. I did a reset on my computer and I want to reinstall the software, but I'm no longer a student there and cannot get a license key for CS6. So I was wondering if the old version is still available for download.
