publisher stops when inserting clips

[Stagestop]

Publisher locks up when inserting clips. Have tried everything, any
suggestions?

An updated video driver? Advice from Ed Bennett

Go to the control panel, Display Folder > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshoot, and
dragging the Hardware Acceleration slider down three notches, you will be
able to disable Publisher from making the calls on the video driver that
cause this problem

If this does fix your problem, it means that the problem does indeed lie
with the video driver. You can leave your computer running at this lower
hardware acceleration, but it may cause problems with other programs. It is
a better solution to try and find a driver update for your graphics card.
Normally, the latest drivers from the video card manufacturer will do the
trick, but ATI (and recently Intel and Dell) tend to be slower in perfecting
their drivers, so some newer ATI and Intel cards to not yet have drivers
available that do not exhibit this behavior. The solution here is to nag
ATI/Intel/Dell for better drivers.

(Please note that even if your computer is brand new, you won't necessarily
have the latest drivers)

 

[Stagestop]

Unfortunately this didn't work. Same problem, no change. Any other thoughts?

Did you update your video driver?

 

[Mary Sauer]

Are you using the Gallery or the Organizer? If you are using the Organizer,
empty your Intenet temp cache, in Internet Explorer, tools, Internet options,
delete files. Compact the Organize, from start, Microsoft Office tools, when the
Organizer opens, tools, compact.

I liked that answer, nag ATI/Intel/Dell...LOL...about time someone did.
Maybe if we all did they'd come up with a better product. Thanks for making
me laugh...I needed it.

I love these people who say they've "tried everything". If they ha, then they
wouldn't be having the problem. What they mean is they've tried everything
they know, which isn't the same thing at all...

Well dud...did you figure that out all by your little self or did you
have to google it?
You often come off as either brain dead or just plain stupid.
Maybe you could find a real life on google by searching for get-a-life.

[Granny]

I love these people who say they've "tried everything".

Of course you do, sweetheart, It makes you feel so incredibly superior, now
doesn't it?

If they ha, then they wouldn't be having the problem.

If they ha???

 

[Deborah Jean]

Why do you even bother to join a forum if all you're going to do is
complain...didn't see you giving the answer. I didn't bother because it was
already there. As for the people following you in the forum..."makes me feel
superior" get a job. Teach, get you Master MOS Instructor Certificaitons and
do something instead of just laughing because someone came to us for help. I
don't believe you I think Ed Bennet ("MVP" Publisher what's that stand for?
Most Volume Puker? Most viable procranstinator?)
Margolotta (Margo lotta what???) Frank and "Granny" should not bother to
join in the forum if they have nothing but degrading remarks to say. Notice
none of you are MS Certified...what's the matter can't pass the tests? Or
can't afford them. I'll be turning this into the forum supervisor and he can
pull you itty bitty hall passes and you can go back to kindegarten, maybe
this time you'll pass. As for me what started out years ago to be helpful to
those of us, who don't know everything, this forum has become a joke and I
will be withdrawing my help from now on...by the way Eddie, Magolotta,
Frankie, and Granny there's a saying that applies to all three of
you....those people who think they know everything, really annoy those of us
who do.

Adios to all, I'll just teach my students and hope that they come out better
people than you three. A shame I'm leaving as I have helped people, not
ridiculed them, so much in the past. Look forward to hearing from the forum
leader and a few others I know at MS.


To those of you who have helped people, I will truely miss you and our
relationships we built up over the years. Some have my true email address,
please stay in touch.

As for the rest of you who have made this all one big joke don't bother
writting my yahoo account as I will put you into spam where you can't get
thru to anyone in yahoo.

Eddie boy have that in common, and Granny, you should at least have more
dignity, of couse I'm comparing you to my grandmother who is intelligent and
wouldn't hurt a fly and didn't start her family in her early teens.) Ya'll
need to grow up and if you don't like helping people stay out of the forums.
There are teenage chat rooms for people of your low IQ. I woudn't waste time
taking the MENSA test you'd just fail...as for me I'm 3rd generation.

[Deborah Jean]

Granny,
I'm sorry that I included you in the group of idiots before you Margolotta
doesn't even have a valid email address. Upon sending this forum exange into
Laurie, the head of our deptartment and a few other choice people I have met
beta testing and being a part of this forum for the last 4-5 years I realized
you were telling her off in a nice way. I'm glad there are people who truly
care out there such as yourself and Mary Sauer.

Mary, on a side note, we would welcome you to the ranks of Instructor any
day of the week; not only do you most times know the answer but you know
several different ways to explain it which is what a good Instructor needs to
know. If you ever come to West Texas, not sure why you would with the
tornadoes and every thing, you'll be most welcome to teach at APC, AC or
TCTI. I know the Deans at every school and they are always looking for
someone with your knowledge and ability to teach.

With that,
I leave the forum until it becomes what it once was, a place people could
come for answers not insults and wanna be stand up comedians.

Again Granny I apoligize to you personally. With a final bow to your wisdom
and common sense way of putting things, you do remind me of my grandmother,
whom was also a teacher as was my mother, by that I give you a great
compliment. You and Mary keep up the good work. I bid you both good luck
and adieu.

Deborah Jean

 

[Ed Bennett]

Why do you even bother to join a forum if all you're going to do is

Excuse me? Mary quoted my advice, you thanked her for making you laugh.

I think Ed Bennet ("MVP" Publisher what's that stand for? Most Volume
Puker? Most viable procranstinator?)
... should not bother to join in the forum if they have nothing but
degrading remarks to say.

Excuse me?

Notice none of you are MS Certified...what's the matter can't
pass the tests?

There are no MS certifications for Publisher.

Or can't afford them.

Microsoft certifications cost more money than I make in a year.

I'll be turning this into the forum supervisor

Turning what in? Please tell me what I've done!

and he can pull you itty bitty hall passes
Huh?

and you
can go back to kindegarten, maybe this time you'll pass.

I never went to kindergarten. We don't have it in the UK.

As for me
what started out years ago to be helpful to those of us, who don't
know everything, this forum has become a joke and I will be
withdrawing my help from now on...

I've just searched my entire archive of this forum for posts from you, and
found four posts, only one of which is an attempt to help. That was
invalid, contradicting correct advice to give a link claiming that it had a
downloadable trial, when in fact it was to order the trial CD.

by the way Eddie, Magolotta,
Frankie, and Granny there's a saying that applies to all three of
you....

Wow, maybe you could come back to kindergarten with me and teach me how to
count to four the way you do.

Adios to all, I'll just teach my students and hope that they come out
better people than you three.

I hope they come out better than me. I don't pass comment on the value of
others, and I hope they won't either.

Look forward to
hearing from the forum leader and a few others I know at MS.

Who do you mean by the "forum leader". It's not a title I've ever heard of.

As for the rest of you who have made this all one big joke don't
bother writting my yahoo account as I will put you into spam where
you can't get thru to anyone in yahoo.

a) One person maliciously classifying someone's email as spam will not
instantly block them from sending to anyone on Yahoo.
b) I don't normally want to email people with a Yahoo address anyway.

I apologise in advance for some of the nasty comments in this email, as
they're not terribly appropriate. I sometimes have trouble controlling my
sense of sarcasm. I also apologise for whatever it is I've done to offend
you.

 

[Deborah Jean]

I didn't know she was quoting you, thank you then, I did need the laugh that
day. I didn't give the answer because Mary did. Sorry I've been testy
lately, spouse of 26 years died a week or so a day and I've been taking it
out on everyone even the clouds which is why I'm taking a break until I can
get my happy go lucky attitude back then I can just ignore the one's who call
people (and I do not mean you, you made me laugh when I was pretty sure I
never would again and I DO THANK YOU FOR THAT) braindead, I'll be back in 6
months to a year. I'm taking some advice of a friend, Tony and taking some
time off from everything but work until I no longer feel the desperate need
to yell at the leaves, clouds, air whatever. The problem is with me...and
I'm sorry cuz you did make me laugh. Thanks again see you in a while. I
will log on and find some of your answers when I need a chuckle, and I get
the feeling I'll need it often for a while. So, please, keep being your
funny, nutty professor self and I'll rejoin the forum when I find my head.
And no it's not up my butt, that's the first place I looked, beat you to it.
Wow, you made me make a joke I didn't think that was possible any more.
Thanks again. Sorry to offend you, didn't know she was quoting you. In a
way of saying thanks and sorry, I'll give you access to a program several of
us wrote, got tired of reformatting for people and then they couldn't find
their cd key number, so we wrote Belarc. Run it before you reformat and it
will tell you everything that is registered and what the registry or cd key
is. I think, I'll work on that so it reads the embedded info in cd, dvd,
floppies, and travel drives during my sabitical. that way I only scream at
clouds and programs not people. I don't know how I'm going to function as a
teacher. I always tell my students to leave their home life at home but
this is the biggest I've ever faced and it keeps sneaking in the windows.
You could send me jokes from time to time just to remind me there are other
wiseacres out there, maybe I'll get my sense of humor back. Again,
sorry....send any funny ones you solved to me at (e-mail address removed). I'll be
back in 6-12 months when I know who I am again and am no longer soooooooooooo
angry at the world. Got one for you, about a month before he died one of my
side customers called and asked why her pc wasn't working. I asked if it was
plugged in and the light on. She said it was plugged in but no light, long
story short she paid me 100 dollars to drive 30 miles and turn on her power
surge...see you in a while...or not depends on where my head is at in a year
or so.

 

[Deborah Jean]

see that was the whole point someone came to you for help and you laughed at
him and joked about how much you know....As for your info, since you
obviously can't read. I am MOS Master Instructor certified as well as
Network Admin. I make more in a day than you do, I'm sure. I just don't
understand you, if all you are going to do is make fun of somebody, why do
you protray yourself as "helpful" I thought what you said was insulting and
made the guy feel bad. Since you know it all "Saint Margolotta" go start
your own website. Go back to school and get an education...just not
mine...we wouldn't accept you anyway. Last post forever, toodles poodle

 

[Deborah Jean]

You weak minded person. You can't check my certs without my password. Just
because no-one will marry you does NOT MEAN I DIDN'T HAVE A HUSBAND WHO HAD A
PAINFUL DEATH. BY THE WAY JAMES WORKS FOR DELL NOW, SINCE YOUR EMAIL IS
OBVOUISLY FAKE YOU ASSUME EVERY THING ELSE IS GIVE ME YOUR REAL ADDRESS AND
I'LL SEND YOU A COPY OF HIS DEATH CERTIFICATE. YOU'RE A WHOLE LOTTA SOMETHING
ALRIGHT. A WHOLE LOT OF AN SELF CENTERED IDIOT.

DO NOT BOTHER ME ANY MORE. I DIDN'T LIE ABOUT MY CERTS OR MY HUSBAND. I
WISH I KNEW WHAT STRIP BAR YOU WORK AT. IF YOU INSULT MY DEAD HUSBAND OR ME
AGAIN I WILL PRESS CHARGES ON YOU. OR DON'T YOU KNOW ABOUT THE NEW LAW WHERE
YOU CAN NOT HARRASS OR LIE ABOUT SOMEONE AND SINCE YOU DON'T KNOW ME.
BUGGER OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Granny]

Please, Deborah Jean, do not let Margolotta get to you. She is a pathetic
prolific troll here. She used to puke her stuff on other MS newsgroups but
went to a Mac and no longer infests the groups like she used to, just this
one. She comes here now to to spew at people in a futile attempt to feel
superior. If you want to see more, just Google margolotta, ceridwen, miss
perspicacia tick, amethyst, magrat, sarah balfour.
You will quickly see that she is a pathetic, not quite thirty year old who
is so wrapped up in herself that she can only put others down to feel like a
human. She blames her parents and everyone else for all her problems,not
realizing, poor dear, that she is an adult now and can actually sort it all
for herself. Her parents can no longer tolerate her and have thrown her
out. She had a boyfriend recently but apparently he finally actually met
her and we don't hear about him anymore. She is smart and could contribute
much to society but is too lazy to support herself and apparently thinks she
is owed much, so she sucks off the British government. You have a
legitimate reason for being troubled and depressed. You will recover and go
on to live a useful functional life. She will continue to be the termite
queen who needs others to provide her with sustinence. She has created her
own misery and has not a clue what real misery is. Do not reduce yourself
to her level by screaming in rage. Move on and ignore her.

 

[Oziebill]

I definitely support Granny's sentiments. Unfortunately, you won't find too
much of Sarah Balfour's posts of late in Google Groups as she has them
de-archived after a few days. Probably says a lot about her!

But here is a post she recently made to uk.people.disability:

"I have been lurking around these parts for some time but I am posting now
because I have issues that I cannot deal with alone and the appropriate
organisations where I live have, basically, to put no finer point on it,
told
me to "go **** myself".

Whilst I don't want to cause mass sedation by boring you all with my entire
life story, I will say that I have mental health problems (borderline
personality disorder, chronic acute depression and severe anxiety disorder)
which makes dealing with the day-to-day hostility I am finding from Social
Services, doctors, the CMHT and, even, Mind, impossible to deal with. In the
last year alone I have been struck off by two practices and there isn't
another one in the area!

I live with my parents, however they have decided that they want me to leave
which is adding even more stress and anxiety on top of everything else. My
main worry is, of course, financial. I am in receipt of Income Support
(including the Severe Disability Premium - what was the old Severe
Disablement Allowance) which is up for renewal in 2.5 years' time. My DLA
(lover mobility, middle care) is the more pressing problem and I am
absolutely petrified of losing it (it's only £56pw but, as you're all
probably too well aware, when you're on a budget you have to take every
penny
you can get). It's up for renewal in September.

My family don't want to admit that I have MH problems and they won't
acknowledge it (my father, especially, is in deep denial) and my mother has,
in the past, accused me of "stealing her taxes".

I was in Liverpool recently (trying to find somewhere to live) and I went to
Mind and, for some reason (probably because of the state I was in at the
time) decided he wanted me assessed. There was going to be a 12 hour wait
(you gotta love the govt's NHS 'reforms'. NOT!) at Fazakerly hospital (where
Mind are based) so they stuck me in a taxi (which at least they paid for)
and
sent me to the Royal Liverpool. No one had called ahead to let them no I was
coming and I the senior staff nurse let rip at me with a salvo of questions.
I waited an hour before I was seen by a shrink (youngish bloke, I'd say he
couldn't have been that long qualified) and a MH nurse. He started out
gently
(for about five seconds) then he started with the (extremely) personal
questions. "Had I ever been raped? (yes, I have, by another MH nurse as it
goes). When I confirmed that I had, he started pushing for details ("What
form did it take?" "Was it just vaginal?" "How long did it last?" "When did
it happen?") and I was becoming more and more distressed and, well,
frightened. It happened when I was 16 and I'd been trying to erase the
experience from my memory ever since (I'm nearly 30) and he was extremely
accusatory when I couldn't remember exact details (basically said I was
being
deliberately obstructive and obtuse).

He then started in my school life ("Were you ever bullied?" "Did you do
well?" "What exams did you take/pass?") Yes, I was bullied at school (the
school never did anything about it because the perpetrator was the daughter
of a teacher). He then started asking what were, to me, completely
irrelevant
questions (the names of all the teachers who ever taught me, for example)
and
was very rude and obnoxious when I couldn't recall them all (I'm still
trying
to recall the name of the woman who took me for geography when I was 11).

He then moved on to my family and asked me was I ever abused (yes I was) and
then he asked me details - "Was it just physical, or was it sexual?" (my
father used to cane me and my late grandfather did like to use his belt) but
he neglected to ask about the emotional and mental abuse (and he didn't seem
the slightest bit interested when I volunteered the information). It was
like
he was getting some kind of kick out of it and, unless I was very much
mistaken, there was a distinct bulge in his crotch region that was becoming
ever more swollen. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I'd say he got
off on it!

After this ordeal (which must have lasted a good couple of hours) I was
stuck
back in a cubicle for at least six hours. Then the bastard came back and,
basically, told me that there was nothing wrong with me except a selective
memory and a penchant for fantasy (basically calling me a liar) and that was
that. I distrusted the MH services before I encountered him, now I never
want
to have any dealings with anyone connected with them ever again - if I
wasn't
depressed before, sure as Hades I am now!

Someone, please, tell me is there *ANYONE* within the MH services in this
deity-forsaken country worth dealing with?!

Sorry. I apologise for the above, I'm sure there are others in this group
who
have had equally nasty experiences with MH 'professionals.

The real reason for posting is my housing crisis. I'm completely lost and
overwhelmed and getting no assistance from anyone (and I certainly do not
wish to remain in this county - can't afford to anyway a 1-bed flat is
£850pcm and then some!)

I'd like to move somewhere in the North Wales/Cheshire area (I have
specific,
and very personal, reasons for wishing to do this) but it all boils down to
money. As you're probably aware most private letting agents will always
specify "No DSS" and a council won't take you unless you're resident in that
area.

I did notice that, on the new HCTB1 form that you can have it paid directly
to your account - I am assuming, therefore, that you can use it to pay a
private landlord directly and they'd not be any the wiser? How does that
work
for council tax?

I'd like somewhere suburban/rural but with easy access (by public transport,
I don't drive) to local amenities. Furnished would be useful too as I've
been
living with my parents all these years, I don't have any of my own.

The thing is, I reckon I have to be looking at sub-£100pw otherwise I'm
going
to end up with nothing for luxuries like food, bills, travel, etc.

One day, I'd like to go back to work, but not to the 9-5 that destroyed me
in
the first place. The way this govt wants it is to just stop people's
benefits
stone dead and leave them destitute.

So, is there anyone who has done what I am attempting to do and can assist
me
through the minefield? I have no assistance here whatsoever - parents don't
even want to know. I'm just damned sick of having doors slammed in my face
(both metaphorically and physically).

I need support in the area I move to - a friend has already told me not to
move to his area (the Wirral) as he's not been getting any assistance there
since he and his wife moved there. The same appears to go for most of
Merseyside (unless anyone can tell me different).

I don't really want to share because I value my own space and I'm not easy
to
get along with! ;o)

Apologies, this wasn't meant to turn out as long as it has done -
congratulations to anyone who has made it this far and is still awake (for
the rest of you, I'll put the kettle on... ;o))

Any guidance, assistance, help, info would be very much appreciated.

Cheers folks,

Margo
xxxxxxxx

P.S. One thing did cheer me up when I loaded the BBC's homepage this morning
and read that the govt had suffered yet another defeat in the Lords over
compulsory ID cards. I've been campaigning against it since they first
mooted
the idea".

I definitely support Granny's sentiments. Unfortunately, you won't find too
much of Sarah Balfour's posts of late in Google Groups as she has them
de-archived after a few days. Probably says a lot about her!

But here is a post she recently made to uk.people.disability:

"I have been lurking around these parts for some time but I am posting now
because I have issues that I cannot deal with alone and the appropriate
organisations where I live have, basically, to put no finer point on it,
told
me to "go fcuk myself".

Whilst I don't want to cause mass sedation by boring you all with my entire
life story, I will say that I have mental health problems (borderline
personality disorder, chronic acute depression and severe anxiety disorder)
which makes dealing with the day-to-day hostility I am finding from Social
Services, doctors, the CMHT and, even, Mind, impossible to deal with. In the
last year alone I have been struck off by two practices and there isn't
another one in the area!

I live with my parents, however they have decided that they want me to leave
which is adding even more stress and anxiety on top of everything else. My
main worry is, of course, financial. I am in receipt of Income Support
(including the Severe Disability Premium - what was the old Severe
Disablement Allowance) which is up for renewal in 2.5 years' time. My DLA
(lover mobility, middle care) is the more pressing problem and I am
absolutely petrified of losing it (it's only £56pw but, as you're all
probably too well aware, when you're on a budget you have to take every
penny
you can get). It's up for renewal in September.

My family don't want to admit that I have MH problems and they won't
acknowledge it (my father, especially, is in deep denial) and my mother has,
in the past, accused me of "stealing her taxes".

I was in Liverpool recently (trying to find somewhere to live) and I went to
Mind and, for some reason (probably because of the state I was in at the
time) decided he wanted me assessed. There was going to be a 12 hour wait
(you gotta love the govt's NHS 'reforms'. NOT!) at Fazakerly hospital (where
Mind are based) so they stuck me in a taxi (which at least they paid for)
and
sent me to the Royal Liverpool. No one had called ahead to let them no I was
coming and I the senior staff nurse let rip at me with a salvo of questions.
I waited an hour before I was seen by a shrink (youngish bloke, I'd say he
couldn't have been that long qualified) and a MH nurse. He started out
gently
(for about five seconds) then he started with the (extremely) personal
questions. "Had I ever been raped? (yes, I have, by another MH nurse as it
goes). When I confirmed that I had, he started pushing for details ("What
form did it take?" "Was it just vaginal?" "How long did it last?" "When did
it happen?") and I was becoming more and more distressed and, well,
frightened. It happened when I was 16 and I'd been trying to erase the
experience from my memory ever since (I'm nearly 30) and he was extremely
accusatory when I couldn't remember exact details (basically said I was
being
deliberately obstructive and obtuse).

He then started in my school life ("Were you ever bullied?" "Did you do
well?" "What exams did you take/pass?") Yes, I was bullied at school (the
school never did anything about it because the perpetrator was the daughter
of a teacher). He then started asking what were, to me, completely
irrelevant
questions (the names of all the teachers who ever taught me, for example)
and
was very rude and obnoxious when I couldn't recall them all (I'm still
trying
to recall the name of the woman who took me for geography when I was 11).

He then moved on to my family and asked me was I ever abused (yes I was) and
then he asked me details - "Was it just physical, or was it sexual?" (my
father used to cane me and my late grandfather did like to use his belt) but
he neglected to ask about the emotional and mental abuse (and he didn't seem
the slightest bit interested when I volunteered the information). It was
like
he was getting some kind of kick out of it and, unless I was very much
mistaken, there was a distinct bulge in his crotch region that was becoming
ever more swollen. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I'd say he got
off on it!

After this ordeal (which must have lasted a good couple of hours) I was
stuck
back in a cubicle for at least six hours. Then the bastard came back and,
basically, told me that there was nothing wrong with me except a selective
memory and a penchant for fantasy (basically calling me a liar) and that was
that. I distrusted the MH services before I encountered him, now I never
want
to have any dealings with anyone connected with them ever again - if I
wasn't
depressed before, sure as Hades I am now!

Someone, please, tell me is there *ANYONE* within the MH services in this
deity-forsaken country worth dealing with?!

Sorry. I apologise for the above, I'm sure there are others in this group
who
have had equally nasty experiences with MH 'professionals.

The real reason for posting is my housing crisis. I'm completely lost and
overwhelmed and getting no assistance from anyone (and I certainly do not
wish to remain in this county - can't afford to anyway a 1-bed flat is
£850pcm and then some!)

I'd like to move somewhere in the North Wales/Cheshire area (I have
specific,
and very personal, reasons for wishing to do this) but it all boils down to
money. As you're probably aware most private letting agents will always
specify "No DSS" and a council won't take you unless you're resident in that
area.

I did notice that, on the new HCTB1 form that you can have it paid directly
to your account - I am assuming, therefore, that you can use it to pay a
private landlord directly and they'd not be any the wiser? How does that
work
for council tax?

I'd like somewhere suburban/rural but with easy access (by public transport,
I don't drive) to local amenities. Furnished would be useful too as I've
been
living with my parents all these years, I don't have any of my own.

The thing is, I reckon I have to be looking at sub-£100pw otherwise I'm
going
to end up with nothing for luxuries like food, bills, travel, etc.

One day, I'd like to go back to work, but not to the 9-5 that destroyed me
in
the first place. The way this govt wants it is to just stop people's
benefits
stone dead and leave them destitute.

So, is there anyone who has done what I am attempting to do and can assist
me
through the minefield? I have no assistance here whatsoever - parents don't
even want to know. I'm just damned sick of having doors slammed in my face
(both metaphorically and physically).

I need support in the area I move to - a friend has already told me not to
move to his area (the Wirral) as he's not been getting any assistance there
since he and his wife moved there. The same appears to go for most of
Merseyside (unless anyone can tell me different).

I don't really want to share because I value my own space and I'm not easy
to
get along with! ;o)

Apologies, this wasn't meant to turn out as long as it has done -
congratulations to anyone who has made it this far and is still awake (for
the rest of you, I'll put the kettle on... ;o))

Any guidance, assistance, help, info would be very much appreciated.

Cheers folks,

Margo

P.S. One thing did cheer me up when I loaded the BBC's homepage this morning
and read that the govt had suffered yet another defeat in the Lords over
compulsory ID cards. I've been campaigning against it since they first
mooted
the idea".
