Thread: Graphics Disappearing!

Hi Everyone,

This one is driving me Crazy...
After I upgraded to Version 8, whenever I move graphics around in BlueVoda, they disappear and all my buttons turn black. I contacted support by e-mail and they said it was my computer. Although this is most likely true, I was wondering if anyone might know how to fix this. I redownloaded my graphics card drivers, installed an accelerator from Intel too, installed Turbo Memory. Everything was fine in Version 7, but Version 8, I have experienced a lot of trouble. Below is a list of what I have done:

Uninstalled Blue Voda - Reinstalled - several times
Updated my graphics drivers
scandisk
defrag
Run Tune-up Utilities 2006 Every Day
FORMATTED 3 times
Tried Ccleaner
Cleaned out junk files
Repaired Internet Explorer

The last time I formatted, everything worked great for 2 and a half weeks. Now I can only do 1 or 2 actions in Blue Voda and I have to shut in down and restart the program. Today...over FIFTY times!
I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem and what they may have done to fix this major problem. Like I stated before, must be my computer, but for any techie out there, here's a break-down of my operating system:

Compaq Deskpro
Pentium III
Windows 98SE
IE 6 - up to date
RAM 192
40 Gig HD
Intel 810E Chipset family

Anyone....Please help!

Thank You,

This is one probably for General Naval, but first thing i see is Win98 and only 192RAM.......

Windows 98SE is no longer supported OS. By that I mean that it is not eligible for updates/patches etc..

Additionally- You have an onboard graphics card. You need to upgrade this. Actually- you need to upgrade the whole system. What you are working with is the bare minimum if not- sub minimum.

For todays graphics and programs etc... I would recommend nothing less than a 1.5 ghz processor with no less than 256 (preferably 512) ram.
With that- I also recommend a seperate graphics card with at minimum 128mb onboard ram itself. Also- XP Home OS.

With what you have and what you are trying to do- you will have continued problems.

Thanks, Andy!

Thanks Vasili and good to see ya again!

You're very welcome Mark. So how I feel I am getting you in some hot water though!!LOL.

Take care,

Andy

Hi Again,
Forgive me for continueing this, but is there a way to revert back to Version 7. I didn't have any problems with that....
BTW-- No hot water here...we're newlyweds! - -Mark

Sorry...don't think so!

You must be using a Laptop........Hmmmm.
Some good sales going on right now.....Dells down to 699 (dual core), HP about the same....Dell desktops are still 300.....Hmmm....choices, decisions, pleadings to be made....

OR, spend $100 on RAM and get a bootlegged copy of Win2000...or buy it for under $20 on eBay...

No....I'm not using a laptop. I shoulda taken the one offered to me from a little old lady from church, but I didn't have the heart...She paid $1,200! Barely knows how to email...lol Anyway, just thought I'd ask about the older version.... On download.com, the info-box for BlueVoda says Windows-all (versions) I dunno if it's a typo, but if I knew, I would'nt have upgraded. Oh well.... Can I upload a site made with NVU or WebPlus 6 by FreeSerif ? I already have my site up-just published-not many pages yet-but willing to start over. I can't wait to use my BlueVoda again - soon, I hope! - -Mark

Download.com, or the VH download page??

If you're using a desktop, then for the price you'd shell out for RAM and a usable version of Windows, you'd be better off buying a new Dell with XP (and a flat screen) for $300-600 and having something you can crank miracles off of for the next few years....just be SURE you specify you need at least 640 RAM.....the new puters seem to all be coming with 1g installed RAM

Hi Vasili,

I saw it on Download.com...anyway, I'll be looking for a new 'puter soon. I want to thank you again. I'm off to la-la land..it's 1:30 a.m. I'm done fer the night.

Keep the Faith,
Mark

You might also find some good deals at www.tigerdirect.com

Ahhh!
You can find awesome deals (including Tiger) AND patronize a fellow VodaHost website if you start your shopping here!

Might as well, right???

Yours Vasili? Bookmarked.
I checked out the Mini Mac at the ***** store and was impressed.

(Yes....I'm not usually self-promoting, but I suppose there are times I should loosen up! Especially about MyChoiceMall.com which has something for everybody.)
Thanks, Bill...your expression of confidence is appreciated!
