I have VLC, too. I'll test it out. Though it seems it could also be an intermittent bug in WMP. If that's the case, that could be near impossible to nail down, waiting for the magic moment. But if I stay with VLC here on out, that perhaps is the best test in the long run.
Yah, it's more of a fourth backup actually. At least I can monitor it and watch its behavior to see if it was a Windows issue or a harddrive issue.
But assuming it was Windows related, why would a Windows Media operation cause it? Like I say, this has happened before with the same...
Just answered my own question....VIVARD offered a remap capability to remove the bad sector from use. So I did that and the drive finally came up and scandisk was able to sort it out. And the drive boots now, too.
I have backed up all my important stuff from the partitions and am going to...
The VIVARD scan verifies what I suspected earlier that I have errors about midway through the drive. 2 errors were detected in the same spot in the scan. Whether these represent actual defects in the media is another question.
Would I be correct in assuming that I will need some program to...
Well...kind of, from what I can tell here. The Fujitsu Diagnostic Tool apparently only supports ATA (my corrupted drive is a 160Mb Fujitsu SATA). Salvation Scan can't find either of my 2 SATA drives, MHDD32 says drives not ready, VIVARD, second from the bottom of the list...hm...is testing it...
Thank you very much for your reply, goombawaho. I'll give your suggestion a try.
I'm not TOO worried about the data since I am well backed up. It's just that if my drive image (with MBR) fails to work (I've never had the opportunity to check yet whether ShadowProtect REALLY works when the fat...
Howdie.
I have a curious XP SP3 boot failure (curious to me, anyway). I was trying to watch a .wmv video file and my system hung up and the sound coming out of my speakers was a loud buzz. I had to shut down via the power switch. After that, my system will get to the splash screen, but never...
The worst nightmare for software devel...the errors that don't come up all of the time are the hardest to solve. I like your idea about maybe a 3rd party plugin issue. Now I have to think about what is common to my PC and their MACs plugwise, which could only be Hotdoor CADtools. The only...
Yes, too small for print, but I build construction lines in my work a lot (for references, perspective lines, etc.), and they really are necessary when working on detail areas. They aren't meant for print and they are more flexible than traditional guidelines (for instance you can color them...
This image was AFTER I outlined the stroke to make it a solid filled object (so that the problem would survive making it into Photoshop from the clipboard).
YAh, I'm posting there as well. They've never seen this before.
Here is an image of the problem. I would have tried this before but I brain-farted (I hope this downloads ok):

Anti-aliasing has no effect on the problem...it simply adds the jaggies when it's off.
To compare systems:
Fujitsu-N Laptop Dual-Core P4, 2Gig Mem, Win XP SP2
MAC G5, Panther, unknown RAM but I used to work there and
they usually try to pump it up as high as they can get it.
Just finished talking with a MAC user over the phone and we duplicated the same behaviour on a MAC platform with CS3. So this is definitely a cross-platform issue buried in a platform-independent algorithm somewhere.
Thanks for the reply, apepp.
Unfortunately that did not work. What is weird is that I reinstalled the product after running Adobe WinCS3Clean, and the problem is still there. This is a showstopper. I may have to drop back to CS2 because of this. It's almost as if there is some setting...
Howdie.
I am an Illustrator user now since 1992, and this is the first time I have ever encountered this. Although with Adobe's Illustrator products for some years now, you really don't know what to expect anymore.
I would have attached an example but this forum will not allow uploading from...
