great, thanks. This looks to be more along the lines of what I'm looking for...

Can someone recommend a program like Dban that has an option to wipe free space only? I haven't checked in awhile maybe dban does this?

Hmmm, I'm glad you brought that up because I did just recently upgrade the amount of memory to three gigs. I'm pretty sure that has something to do with it, but what? I can't revert back to older drivers, the newest driver release fixed a major problem with After Effects 7, and there new "tear off" panels. and I'm aware about the force hardware rendering setting.

I'm using a 3dlabs VP880 Pro. WinXP Pro 3024MB Ram When I go into the Display Properties and click on the OpenGL extensions checkbox it automatically closes the display properties. It is also causing a problem with Maya 7.0 I get the following error: // Warning: Maya requires OpenGL version 1.1, and your system is running version 1.0. Please contact your hardware vendor for an updated driver. Reinstalling Maya doesn't help, BUT reinstalling the video card driver makes it functional only for a short time.

I check the directory and there is nothing in the binaries folder, now what? I have also tried http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/fix_windows_xp_help.htm but it didn't work either... anyone?

hi guys my help and support icon in the start menu doesn't work it says.. Cannot find helpctr.exe .. I put my xp cd in and ran sfc /scannow but I still get the same error...?

No one else has reported this problem???

hmm After Effects 7 seems to have a problem with the tear off panels. When I tear off a panel and move it over to my other screen there are parts of it left behind on the other monitor. I think this is a video card setting, I'm using a 3dlabs Wildcat 880Pro. Here is a pic... all i have done is drag the timeline over to my other monitor.... Pls help http://www.silverscreencreations.com/images/ae.jpg I have made sure I'm running all of the latest drivers etc...

Yup, it seems that the paging file was the problem, as the error has yet to happen again.

Hey thanks for replying, I'm actually not at home so I don't have the ftp info. I increased the paging file size about 20 min ago, I think that might have been the problem. I'm just now waiting to see if it happens again.

Hi guys, I reformatted a friends computer and now it blue screens, perhaps someone can analyze the crash dump file? The only thing that has changed is I installed a PCI 3 port USB 2.0 card.

In safe mode if I double click one of the files to open it, qt never opens. I did find a solution I think, I un-installed qt 7 and found a copy of qt 6.5 and installed that and everything now plays fine. but I still wonder what with qt 7 is causing the prob.

I tried uninstalling/reinstalling but I still have the same problem

Still crashes. Some sort-of file system corruption makes sense to me to but only quicktime gives me a problem. Is there anyway to completely remove quicktime, ie program codecs etc? I'm thinking it must be something with quicktime...

what about Symantec AV corp. edition?

Do you think running the windows recovery console would help? I also learned that the computer crashes when I try to encode - export to quicktime... but like I said before all of my quicktime files that are currently on my computer play fine, except for the ones in that one folder on my desktop. But if I copy those qt files in that folder to my external hdd they play fine from there, but will crash the computer if I copy them back and try to play them...

Here is something interesting, I copied one of the qt files and moved it from the folder that was on the desktop to it just being on the desktop itself. I tried opening it and the computer crashed. I then tried moving it to another internal hdd and the computer crashed, lastly I moved it to my external hdd and the movie loaded and played fine. So I copied it from the external hdd back to the desktop and the movie opened for a few seconds then the computer crashed. What do you guys make of that?

I have a folder on my desktop that I have video content in, it only happens with the quicktime files in this one folder all of my other qt files play just fine. And yes I can successfully open the files in word pad...

I run a virus and adware scan on my whole comp once a week so I know its not a virus, I also run hijack this, but here is the log anyway...

What kind of laptop is it? A lot of bios manufacturers install a sort of backdoor...?

I'll run the prime stress test tonight Prime ran for 13 Hours with no errors and no warnings. Perhaps there is a way to scan for corrupted quicktime files? I think its just one folder on my desktop that's coming up with the quicktime error

OK I let Memtest run overnight and it didn't find any errors: Run Time: 11h:03m Passes: 33 Errors: 0 I'll run the prime stress test tonight

No but I plan on running Memtest tonight and Prime's torture test after that... any recommended settings for either? or just the standard tests?

I ran chkdsk on all the drives and didn't find any problems, I'm going to assume that the system restarting was some sort of fluke thing... BUT its the whole quicktime thing that still aggravates me...
