Just by way of an update. The clicking is now intermittent. AND after all the fiddling and updating etc (and the helpful advice) it turns out that the clicking is a known issue and does not affect the final edited footage. Thanks for the suggestions and assistance. Still having trouble with the...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm in the position of not having an OS disc and more importantly the disc for the Avid (although it is a legit system with dingle).

I'm having stopping ,starting and disabling services. When I try the PC just sits there with the egg timer showing. I've left it for hours and it doesn't do anything. Having trouble as a result of this http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1303508&page=1 No updates via Microsoft will work...

Just having trouble updating Windows now. MSI not stopping. Am now looking at ways around it.

I am speaking to you from the now working PC. All the DHCP services were disabled (as were most of them). Now to sort this audio problem. Thanks

Ever had one of those situations where simply replacing a hard drive turns into the biggest nightmare ever... Got all ready to get on the web - firewall, anti virus and got round to connecting to my isp and get a "could not renew ip address for network adapter (dhcp)" each and every time i...

Is that a sarcastic "oddly" or a "hey this Microsoft thing actually works!" Either way this is a stand alone machine and has never been connected to the internet. It has a network connection but absolutely no protection from the big, bad web. I'm a little wary of updating via MS as one wrong...

Have tried what I thought was the right driver but still no joy. Driver was from MSI for the board... not 100% as was late last night. Any more ideas or if I'm being an idiot let me know.

Supersonic reply... That would be the VIA AC'97 Audio Controller would it? Will give it a try as soon as I find the download. Cheers

Hi I've just resurrected an IBM Intellistation E Pro which runs Avid Xpress V2 (promised I'd do a wedding video for a relative, but thats another story). It was all working fine until the E drive (media drive) packed in. I've replaced it with exactly the same spec drive only 400gb rather than...

garebo, yes they both worked but very slowly in PIO mode. I have ditched them completely now and gone back to my 10gig. That was working fine until just now when I got the message "no 80 conductor channel on primary ide" or words to that effect. More new cables? It never rains...

http://images.soliton.net/ibm/Dead%20Drives%2003%20Laptop%20Close.jpg Basically, see the empty space as it should be... if you go up one pin and to the left one... that's missing. Both the drives are the same, but on one the pin is either push all the way in (or snipped off, can't tell) and on...

Not that I've been aware of to date. I used to work on a sytem that was used every day for about 10 years. The drives were external fast and wide SCSI 9gig (in the days when that was a lot). One of them broke down and as the warranty had ended I decided to open it up to see what was so mystical...

www.avid.com "The industry standard" Non linear Editing system. Outrageously expensive, used in film and TV for donkeys years and always used to run on Macs until they had a falling out. From there Apple devised Final Cut Pro and Avid got into bed with Microsoft. I think they've kissed and made...

I think I may have found the problem. I checked the pins on the 30 gig and instead of just the one missing key pin (20), another is missing. So I took the other 30 gig that I have and installed XP on that. SAME PROBLEM!!!! Double checked the pins and that also has the same pin missing. The two...
