I am now over one week with no patterns at all. I will keep monitoring this, but for now I am going to say this is done. I definitely would say it was the video card, but I can't say for sure whether moving it to a different computer helped or if running the updates fixed it.
I very much...
No pattern at all Thursday, but I went ahead and ran the update to the OS and the card driver on Friday morning. No patterns so far.
I tried the driver update earlier in this process, but it would not install until the OS was updated (I went from 10.5.2 to 10.5.8).
No such luck! We got the pattern again last night. However, this morning I switched the video card from that G5 with the card to a different G5, and the pattern immediately showed up at the 2nd G5, while the 1st booted fine.
Next steps- I am going to run an update on the Mac from 10.5.2 to...
OK- this weekend I vacuumed/blew out the tower (it wasn't too bad, a little dusty), and moved the video card to a different slot. So far, no checkerboard, and we had been getting 3-4 per day there for the last week or so.
I'll keep you posted...
Update- in the last 2 days we have seen the checkerboard pattern without using Acrobat or even being at the computer. It even did it once on the screensaver. I have researched down a different path and found that the graphic card (ATI Radeon HD2600xt)has some history of checkerboarding. My next...
Thanks for the replies.
Andrew (apepp)- Thanks for the link (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333217.html). I had not read the Adobe troubleshooting steps, and they are actually pretty clearly written and helpful. I had done some of the steps during normal diagnosing, but I will go back and try...
Curses! The 2nd shift operator had the pattern twice Wednesday night. Had a pdf file open in Acrobat, paging down through it, and it seemed to lock up between pages. There was a checkerboard pattern of the illustration on page 200 overlayed on page 201. Acrobat hung for about 10 seconds, then...
Sorry I have not been on with updates. Maybe trashing preference has fixed this thing. No checkerboards lately. I am going to act like everything is OK unless I start seeing the pattern again.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Thanks for the suggestions.
SYQUEST- This has happened with several different files, not just one. I have looked through the console logs, but of course most of it makes no sense to me. There is an Acrobat error (CGContextAddLineToPoint: no current point)but that same error is throughout the...
Hello-
Recently I have been getting an odd system lockup. When I am paging through a PDF in Acrobat, the screen will freeze and then get a checkerboard pattern over it. After about 10 seconds the pattern may or may not go away, and the cursor will move, but everything is grayed out and nothing...
Hi,
I am using Crystal Reports 10 - I have a Main report with an underlayed Subreport in PHb - the Main report prints on the top half of the page and the underlayed Subreport prints on the bottom half of the page - I need the Details section of each report to print records 1 through 10 on the...
