Lockup playing AVI file with pivoted display
On May 7, 4:15*pm, Russell May wrote:
My 2002-vintage computer has a recently-installed CPU and LCD display. The computer locks up with the display pivoted 90 degrees via irotate.exe while playing AVI files using Nero ShowTime, producing a medium-high-pitched sound. The lockup seems to happen only when the display is pivoted. Nero ShowTime is the only program I have which will show AVI movies while the display is pivoted. The last time this happened, CPU temperature was 43 degrees C and CPU utilization was about 30 percent. I reset the computer to recover from these lockups, only to find that CPU hyper-threading is disabled until I restart Windows, which runs very slowly, and then restart the computer and Windows again. Does anyone have suggestions about how to stop this lockup while the display is pivoted? System description Windows 32-bit XP SP3, Nero 6.6 including ShowTime 2.0.1.9, irotate.exe 1.37, Microsoft Security Essentials, 2010 Tune-up Utilities. Dell 2700FP LCD monitor A02, 1600x1200 pixels (pivoted to 1200x1600), 32-bit color, DVI cable. Gigabyte GA-8IEXP motherboard (533MHz FSB), 1.5GB PC-2700 ECC memory. 3.06GHz Pentium 4 CPU (Northwood with hyper-threading). Radeon 9000 AGP-4X video board. Samsung 200GB and 250GB IDE internal drives, Samsung 1.5TB eSATA external drive, SiI 3512 eSATA controller board, 6Mbps DSL via 2-Wire AT&T 2701HG-B gateway. Have you given any thought to using a different piece of software to play the AVI files? Not the Nero one? There are plenty of AVI players around, many of them free and functional... Ben Myers |

So you are a genius with a disability, then? Some tried to tell me that. But I don't see it since some simple tasks are very difficult. And for me, it is grammar. And I used to stutter until my late teens. Oddly enough it seemed to stop after my first beer. Surely just a coincidence, right? LOL So far I don't see it. Thanks for the lecture, I will not say anything about the grammar flukes in the future. No that is okay. I am used to it and it isn't any big deal. ;-) It's also difficult to speculate whether these people were accomplished because of their disability, or in spite of it. People with other types of handicaps were also great achievers. Well from my perspective, it is very easy to identify with. As *some* simple tasks are difficult and *some* supposedly hard tasks are simple. So it makes sense that they would excel in areas that they find very easy to understand. Although they still have to struggle with some supposedly easy tasks. :-( -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - OE-QuoteFix v1.19.2 Centrino Core Duo 1.83G - 2GB - Windows XP SP3 |
