Strange Memory Problems

[JediXAngel22]

A lot of times, I just can NOT right-click, or do many other things, etc...


I think it's Memory/resource BUG, am I right?

What's the cause? How do I fix it?

Then she will have problems with her graphics card with Ubuntu.
Restore the system with either your restore disk or your Vista disk.
Reformat and clean install.

I thought this was funny...but

First, if she did install Ubuntu, bet the graphics would work just fine
right out of the gate. Even works just fine using VMWare in Vista.

But do agree, this isn't likely what she wants to do yet. Restore disk if
she has one.

Yep, they pulled it once already.

Or add more memory.
Try that first and see if it works.
BTW My motherboard has a Nvidia 6150 LE.
Ubuntu Debian 7.10 and 8.04 did not recognize it.
My system is 64 bit. I was running 64 bit Linux and 32 bit Vista.
Reason for 32 bit vista was so I could watch TV. The Linuxs I tried (64 and
32) did not support the card
I was using at the time or this one.
Hauppuage 250 for 6 years, 1600 since Christmas.
My youngest brother is trying to say that it is an illegal recording device.
Then in that case, the Ipod he has is an illegal listening device.
I record and watch TV programs on my computer. It is no different than
a DVR or VCR.

You run Vista with that too? Those built in chip sets are, well, while they
work it is like riding a bicycle into a car race. Any UMA chipset isn't
worth the real-estate. Ok for email and surfing without too much video.
Nvidea produces some good stuff, but the integrated 6150 LE isn't stellar.
With Vista, it's rating must be pretty bad.

Try a NVidia GeForce 8500 GT or newer in that line, economical, runs Vista
(x32 or x64), Solaris and every Linux I have tried so far.

Me, I don't use Vista for video/TV, I have a P4 2.8 HT running Linux/MythTV
for that. Also a NVidia driven.

Your brother is smoking. If made before a certain date, it does not have to
honor that silly DRM recording bit stuff. Unless of course Vista demands to
see it, then maybe - not sure with Vista. MythTV, trivially by passable.
And if you listen to any of the providers of media content, you need to
donate a liver or a kidney a week to stay legal. I look at it simple. I
have the physical DVD or CD, if I play it how I want on what I want when I
want or shove off (fair use). Or if you broadcast it, I can play it for my
own use any time on any of my devices. The only real crime they can touch
you on is distribution, which I don't do.

I keep all my AV content on a Linux/Solaris cluster, and only export RO to
Vista until I have the time to make sure Vista does not do something I don't
want it to do to the files. And someone else, true or not made a post that
makes me wary here. What a PITA it was to get Vista to use Samba, but even
though the GUI UI couldn't, got a mount using the command line after some
registry hacking even though it is Vista Home Premium. They really need to
include NFS and fix IPSec.

TV and the computer have merged, you are very correct. Just that the big
corps want to control what we see, what we here, who broadcasts it and when
we hear it. Fruitless on their part. There is some nifty legal stuff
coming in the pipeline and they can't stop it.

Hauppauge HVR 1600 works fine for Vista. It is on a 64 bit system.
It could theoretically work under Linux, but I have not found found the
software for it.
Right now, I am emailing, recording a movie (Cutting edge 3: Chasing the
dream. I know. Corny)
I am fixing to get ready to go back to the movie I was watching. I don't
keep the movies long. Just till I watch them.
I have a set of physical DVDs, but I am afraid of scratching them. I don't
make my own DVD movies. Only use the DVDs for software storage.
I have Windows Media Center. The drivers I have were downloaded from the
Microsoft Windows Update site. I have drivers for the card elsewhere.
I record at the low resolution. The movie I recorded take 2.66 gigabytes of
hard drive space. It is not a violation of the DRM as I don't sell or offer
them on the internet. I am not violating the copyright protection act. The
card was made in 2006 and I got it in 2007.
