    Audio clicking

    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...

    Stop/Disable Services

    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).

    Stop/Disable Services

    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

    Audio clicking

    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...

    Audio clicking

    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

    Audio clicking

    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...

    VERY Slow HDD and Boot

    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...

    VERY Slow HDD and Boot

    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...

    VERY Slow HDD and Boot

    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...

    VERY Slow HDD and Boot

    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...

    VERY Slow HDD and Boot

    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...

    Boy erases his own past!

    Hi I've searched through the site before posting but I'm none the wiser, so here goes. The short version of my story goes like this... I've lost my 160gig drive which is basically full of work, mp3's (years of ripping to put on my ancient Rio Riot) and the first 3 years of my sons life in...

    VERY Slow HDD and Boot

    Tried it without the DVD drive connected. No change. Tried with just the 30 gig. No change. This time I'm getting NTLDR is missing error. The drive was zero'd and formatted before I installed XP and I've changed the cables. I'm wondering if it's stuck in PIO mode and getting this error maybe...

    VERY Slow HDD and Boot

    Thanks. The 30gig was zero'd before I installed XP again a few days ago. I have nothing to backup on the 30 gig other than the basics of XP and drivers. The 160gig is IDE. Was thinking of doing a clean install on the zero'd drive anyway. Never come across Winkeyfinder before. Presumably if I'm...

    VERY Slow HDD and Boot

    The same without the 160 drive. Gets to "Verifying DMI Pool Data" on boot and then takes forever.

    VERY Slow HDD and Boot

    A few weeks ago my 3 year old stuck a screw driver in the front USB port and blew the motherboard and PSU. I've had them replaced but I've lost some data of my drives. I've replaced a 10G drive that I was using for the OS with a 30G and kept my 160G data drive. I've reinstalled XP on the 30G and...
