BSOD Windows 7 32/64 bit - I will never buy a sb again

Creative knows the problem for years! And they are not able to fix the problem. What problem? The bluescreen of death you get when activating hw 3D audio in special games under Windows 7 32/64 bit. First I used the x-fi xtreme fidelity (2003) card under windows xp without any problem, than in 2009 I switched to windows 7. When playing my favourite game I got BSOD each time? I enabled the creative driver. I was searching for solutions, I read a lot and found out that many other x-fi users have the same problem. I had the hope that I could get rid of the problem by installation a newer x-fi card (titanium 2007, pci-e). But it didnt help. For 2 years I had to play in stereo mode. I thought all the time that creative will release a driver update. But nothing happenend. 2 days ago I had enough of playing in stereo mode, not being able to locate other players in game by their noices. I bought an Asus Xonar DS (not the newest card, from 2007), installed it, enabled the HW 3D audio settings with eax effects. No BSOD anymore! You know what, the sound is even much better. I can hear audio details I never noticed before in the game. Best 5. system I ever had.

I'm having BSOD under win 7 (64) with my x-fi gamer AND my old audigy 2 zs
It happens more when listening to music on youtube then when gaming and it sometimes happes on boot up.
I've checked all the other compontents to make sure it wasn't something else.
PC has been running smooth with onboard sound and neither of the cards gave any problems under XP or Vista (64)
Also the audigy 2 zs is working fine in my old pc.
Not sure where the problems is, ill give the beta drivers a shot. But it seems that alot of people are having problems with creative cards and windows 7

I will NEVER buy a Thinkpad again :-(

So I opened my briefcase this morning and took out my Thinkpad T61p.
It was warm, which worried me - it has always run very hot and it doesn't seem to shut down all the time when I close it. (note: with Win 7 my other one does).
So I opened it up and the screen was black on half of it, garbled on the other half and had a "crack" down the middle of it.
I called tech support. What they told me made me decide I will never buy another Thinkpad again (15 year devoted customer here who loved Thinkpads).
They said:
- You must have dropped it. It is NOT covered under warranty. i.e. You are lying.
- You can send it to us to fix it. You must give us your credit card number and pre-approve a $950 charge to replace the screen.
I told them that for less than $750 I could buy an entire new Thinkpad with an equivalent monitor and that this was ridiculous. They escalated it and supposedly Lenovo will call me (there is a prior deal between IBM and Lenovo setting prices for this) within two days.
I checked prices locally for replacing monitors - it is $179 for parts and labor.
Lenovo has ruined the Thinkpad brand.
I doubt they will call me within 2 days. Prior to this any time I had a hardware problem they were great - that is why I have purchased 8 Thinkpads in the last 15 years.
This is a lesson in how to lose a long-term customer who was completely loyal.
Note from Moderator: A comment which violated the forum rules was removed.

Did you put a switched on laptop in your carry case? Also if you have a cracked LCD, there is little chance that it will be covered under warranty unless you have accidental protection warranty, no laptop company covers LCD cracks in their laptop on standard warranty term, whether it is IBM or Lenovo.
With the full magnesium rollcage, it would take a large force to actually crack the LCD. It is a standard policy to charge customer a service fee of around 500 to 750 dollars when the company suspects there is user damage to their laptop. It is a policy from IBM days.

I will never buy another HP Product Again!

I tried to get some help with an issue that I have been having and could not decide where the issue fit best so I posted it over multiple areas ... NOT to SPAM, but because it did not fit into anyone area ... here it is listed below;
I have a HP Pavilion a6152n PC purchased in Sept. 07, running 32 bit Vista
For a while my web cam worked fine, but now, while I can see the web cam, those on-line using such services any Skype and Yahoo. can NOT.
The audio continues work fine and CAN be heard by the other party ... the problem is with the video.
I even bought a new web cam thinking maybe it was a problem with the cam, but the same problem repeats on THREE different web cams, one microsoft and two Logitech, so if must be some kind of software(hardware) problem with the computer.
I am hoping it is an easy fix ... I just have no idea what it is, Please help!
Thanks so much and have a good day!
Not one area ... could be hardware, could be software, could be 'other' ... I wanted to get as many eyes as I could so maybe someone would have a solution.
No solutions from HP ... just my posts locked.
That is NOT the kind of customer support that I deserve and I will be taking my future business to other providers.
My suggestion is that HP have both more help and more respect for its clientele.
Thank you for reading this!

I have had problems with HP from day one and HP would not-could not solve my problem so I lived with it for several years. After intensive searching for help from HP, I took my HP products off line and bought a Brother AIO and booted it up and guess what....IT WORKED PERFECTLY the first time. It finally scanned to Word and I could edit my files. NEVER could do that wtih the HP G85 AIO which was very expensive and the HP 2400 PhotoJet which was expensive at the time. Not only would HP refuse to help me solve the problems with my AIOs, HP wanted money UPFRONT just to ascertain what might be the problem. I have had my home office setup for consulting but was limited as to what I could do with the HP products but now I am certain that with the Brother, I can do all I need to make clients happy and bring in an income. I, too, will never buy another HP product again. And by the way, Wendy, get the hell off the forum....you are an HP employer and are as useless as your products. You should be solving our problems with your products rather than talking gibberish.

Why I will never buy another HP Laptop

So I guess I'll try Dell next, but unfortunately I still have to struggle with this hunk-o-junk I bought from HP for at least another year.
Model: HP Pavilion dv8 1103TX
I've had so many issues, especially after 2 years, it's like HP designed the thing to start breaking after 2-years of 8hours/day usage.
Problems include:
Quick-Launch Keys that have a mind of their own (rendering my wifi & bluetooth useless, since the keys switch them on/off at random) Took the laptop to the HP repair centre for this problem on the last day of it's warranty, and they ended up replacing the wrong part. (The speaker cover, instead of the Quick-Launch Keys) After that my laptop was out of warranty and they refused to take it again without me paying for the repairs. The quick-launch button issue continues.
Charger issues - this is the one problem I've ALWAYS had with all my HP's, their chargers die after 2 years, like clockwork, like it was designed to do so, 4 co-workers/family got HP's more or less the same time as I did and we all started shopping for replacements chargers at the same time.
Endless other related power issues - The laptop would be charging but not know it, thinking it's running on battery, forcing me to change all my power schemes so that the system performance isn't affected. And when the laptop is charging, don't dare disconnect it, because it will not resume charging easily. (Note that this still happens at random even after replacing the battery and the charger)
Finger-print reader - Must be disabled else SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) is unstable as hell and crashes for every second query you run. Too random? That's what I thought but Google it to check me up. Once I disabled the finger-print reader, SSMS worked like a charm.
Don't ever, EVER, buy HP Laptops!

I, too, will never buy another HP. I have had 3 laptops in 7 years. My first was a dell and it worked well, but the harddrives crashed. I switched to HP mainly due to high ratings from Consumer Reports. It worked well for two years then I began to have problems on boot up. I decided to replace it before it crashed or further deteriorated. That's when I purchased my G-70 in fall of 2008. I have been pleased with the product, but am dismayed to know HP had knowledge of issues with its hinges. I, unfortunately, didn't know this until I began to experience the problem with my hinges and did a bit of research. I was even more dismayed to know the problem with my first HP was due bad motherboards and heat issues. I was never informed of the motherboard problem and subsequently missed the deadline to have my computer repaired. These are the reasons I am no longer a loyal HP customer

WILL NEVER BUY AN HP PRODUCT AGAIN!

I am incredibly unsatisfied with HP. I bought my laptop (a dv7 4077cl) from Sam's Club a little over a year ago (in October of 2010), and over Thanksgiving the heat sink and fan assembly began to go bad. I am in graduate school right now, so I let it go until finals week was over, and then took it home to see about getting it fixed. After having tried Staples, Best Buy, and various computer stores to find a replacement heat sink/fan assembly, but couldn't. So, I decided to try and call HP directly in order to get a replacement part, therefore I could fix it myself and save myself the $250+ they would charge me to fix it. First, the computer service technician told me they would need to replace the entire motherboard, which is blatantly untrue. Then, we called back and were told that those parts were not available for customers to purchase (however, hard drives, moniters, etc. were). I asked if I were to take it to a computer store, if they could get the part, and the representitive at HP stated that no, the only way to fix my laptop was to go through them directly. It is absolutely RIDICULOUS that a) my laptop has hardware that goes bad after just over a year of use and that b) the only place we can get the part is through HP, for a crazy amount of money. My family has bought roughly 6 or 7 computers from HP, as well as family friends, and after this experience I will never EVER buy another HP laptop again. I will also tell every single person I know about this experience and urge them not to purchase an HP laptop. This experience has been way more of a headache than it needs to be, and I can not believe the amount of trouble this has caused over a small part that needs to be replaced. If you are considering buying a laptop, I urge you to reconsider and purchase a Dell or a Mac, because HP clearly does not stand behind their products.

Dont feel bad.
I tried contacting HP service today about an issue I'm having with a Lap Top I purchased for my son last Christmas. The display has taken a dump and now the Hard Drive has crashed. I called a month ago. First I get that the Lap Top was out of warranty... I pourchased it on 11/26/2010 and they toldf me the warranty had expired ion July. I was told I needed to send in proof of purchase to verify the warranty period, but never recieved the email they claim to have sent. Now its really out of warranty and they wont help! I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told NO! can you beleive it! NO! if I wanted to have my lap top repaired I would have to pay for it! HP SUCKS! I own 5 HP computers 2 HP Printers, and I will Never buy another HP product again! Way to Go HP Customer service at its best!
Happy Holidays!

Freezing up problem - help or I never buy Toshiba products AGAIN!

My Satellite Toshiba computer is constantly freezing now. This started last Nov. 2008, I had my geek guy uninstall & reinstall my entire operating system. It worked fine for a few months, then started freezing up again (I had a virus at that time)
He did what he did & it started working fine again. Now it's not.
I have ESET NOD32 Antivirus which runs complete scans: I have no virus
I have REG CURE & that cleans my registry & what not
I have Firewall & I update Windows stuff all the time.
I am doing everything any normal laptop user would do to avoid problems.
Reading through all these posts on this Toshiba site tells me that MANY people are having Freezing problems.
Freezing happens when I am doing ANYTHING operating no particular website or program & it freezes, it freezes when I'm not typin anything, sometimes I'll leave my computer to go to another room & when I come back it's frozen. I'm in the middle of typing a word doc or in adobe or on yahoo or anywhere it's constantly freezing.
I have owned this Toshiba Laptop for 3yrs now (Yahoo answer ppl said Toshiba laptops just stop working right after 3yrs) Looks like they're right.
Will I EVER got this problem solved or do I need to go out and buy a new laptop & NEVER BUY TOSHIBA PRODUCTS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????? Help

My new toshiba laptop is frozen. I can't go any where. I can't even go to control panel. Please advise me.

After I install itunes my windows 7 - 64 bit machine will not boot and I have to use Restore to boot with a date before I installed itunes

After I install itunes on my windows 7 - 64 bit machine it will not reboot and I need to restore to a date before itunes was install. How do I fix this?

I'm having a very similar issue, paired with iTunes not being able to get online.
iTunes shows up in processes and then hangs at 17,000 K or so -- sometimes it will start up, but that (if it occurs) is a delay of literal hours.
Pretty meticulously went through all the 'cannot connect' trouble shooting, and have uninstalled, restarted, and then reinstalled every piece of apple software; issue is just as firm. Starting in safe mode or admin mode don't fix it; signing in as a different user doesn't fix it.

Windows 7 64 bit OS will not install any HP print drivers

My HP Pavilion p7-1297cb pc which is running windows 7 home premium 64 bit OS will not install any HP print drivers. All my windows updates are current, HP print and scan doctor did not fix it, I also tried MS fix it manager and did not work. When I try to use my HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus installation CD or HP's download center, software almost installs, but says print drivers will not install. Also, I tried using USB connection and windows tries to install software, but does not work. Same for HP print driver support. I tried installing 3 different HP printers I had and all had the same issue. Any ideas on why my system will not allow any print drivers to install?

Hi rrfhp,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand none of the HP drivers will fully install.
I will be happy to help you.

Whats the latest on PreEl8 and windows 7 64 bit? will it work or not?

i am still using PeEl3 on my win Xp machine but would love to use my win7 64 bit for video editing. will PeEl 8 work on a win 7 64 bit machine. all i see in the forums are nothing but crashes and problems. are any of these issues fixed or not? i hear that the Sony Vegas Studio works well on win7 64 bit but i don't really want to learn an new program if i don't have to. i love PreEl3 but it is getting old and slow on the win XP machine. I have an i5 quad core processor and 4gigs of RAM and a nVidia GeForce 7600GT display driver. i have seen that there were issues with nVidia dispaly cards. is that issue resolved do you know? i could get a different display card if needed if that would make this work.
i did a search but didn't see anything current on this issue.
thanks...

Personally, I wouldn't recommend Premiere Elements 8 on Windows 7 64-bit at this time.
The situation is getting better, as drivers are getting updated by third-party hardware providers. But it's still not a terribly happy marriage.

"Group Policy Service & Permission Problems" I Will Never Buy Microsoft Windows Computers Again..

I am trying to get some last bit of use out of my Worthless Microsoft Windows Software.. I have spent more time attempting to make this worthless junk work, than I ever get using the computer for what it is designed for.. Both My Windows 7 Pro,
and my Windows 8.1 are the worst products Microsoft has come out with ever.. I started out using Punch Card Machines, in the 70's that worked better than the junk Microsoft is selling us today.. The last 13 computers I have purchased with Windows software
are all in the dumpster. Their tech support is worthless, and half the time you get sent from one phone number to another, and no one knows anything.. I have purchased two sets of software from Microsoft store that have turned out to be Non-Genuine, I paid
full price for, have receipts of sales, dates, validation key numbers, and still spend three days in a row trying to explain to the other end that my software they sold me is shit, and no one understands.. And on top of that will not give me a e-mail address
to send them a copy of the proof of purchase to them for my file, and to prove to them they are selling shit, and they will not give me a address to send them their problems plagued software.. I have three sets of software that i downloaded,
and had disk sent as backups that have bad validation keys, and Microsoft will not honer their sales, and will not give me keys that work..
If it dose finally work, I can not get the "Diagnostic Policy Service" to start, this online troubleshooting will not work, never has worked on windows 8, nor have I ever had any sound on the same computer, nor has my Windows Media
Player ever worked either.. Both Win 7 Pro, and Win 8.1 Group Policy will not let me download anything on the C-drive that can possibly repair what is wrong with the Crap at hand, Their my computers, but I have no permission to do a goddamn thing to repair
what is wrong with it,,I do not want to read another fucking article on tech shit, I want to know how to delete "Group Policy" from every machine I have, because its only purpose I see it to keep me from using my machine , and forcing me to have
to sit on hold and listen to those idiots on the other end just say its another 99 bucks to fix something that I have already given them 99 bucks several times before to fix nothing.. WTF, I was never a fan of Bill Gates, but today he looks like a genius compared
to who/what is working there today.. Dose this happen to everyone, or am I just jinxed? Can someone give me a patch or something besides another article to make this shit work.. Thanks, Barnstormer2790

Wouldn't think anyone wants to help you at all with that attitude - Microsoft products work just great for me.
perhaps you should look closer to home for the issues you have!! Im Out!!!!

Windows 7 64 Bit system will not update to iTunes 7 - Help please!

Hello -
I've been trying to update my iTunes since July and have been unable to do so. I think the last time I installed a version of iTunes was in May. I've tried everything and anything I could find on the web but nothing works!
I have a Windows 7 PC 64 bit laptop.
Everytime I try to update I get the error message "the installer encountered errors before the installation could be completed".
I've already tried:
- Downloading directly from apple site
- Downloading the update only then installing
- Made a new user account on my computer to try install
- Uninstalled everything and started fresh
- Disk Clean up's
- Turned off Anti-Virus
- Restarting computer and more...
Does anybody have any suggestions!? It's driving me crazy not being able to sync my iphone 4! I'm starting to think it's just not compatable...
PS - I am able to install older version of iTunes, but my iphone 4 is not compatable since i've upgraded to iOS6

C6380 is installed in Windows 7 64-bit but will not print

I recently bought a Pavillion dv-2210ev windows 7 64bit, and would like to wi-fi connect it to my c6380. It works well with my desktop (wirelessly also), and got the Solutions Center installed perfectly on the Pavillion. It scans as requested from the computer.
However, it won't print. I will send a document to the printer (c6300 series), but it doesn't even get to the print queue, and won't print on the tray. No error messages at all. Just silence. Only the pop-up window down right corner of HP saying that print job is starting.
I tried 2-3 reinstalls, tried to create a port myself (locally and then standard IP/TCP as suggested by some people here), even created some rules for the firewall which I found from the Network Diagnostic Program that's on hp.com. I tried the trick with the bidirectional support and it didn't work either.
Any ideas? This c6380 starts to hit my nerves, since it works only with the desktop, and not painlessly all the time.

Try to delete printer in Control Panel and re-add:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's host name (found on the printer's network configuration report the generated above). Click Next.
If you get a message about Additional Port Information Required, then the printer was not found using the host name. You can go back and retry or using the printer's IP address instead of the host name.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Make a choice and click Next.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Hi,
In order to assist you, we will need the .DMP files to analyze what exactly occurred at the time of the crash, etc.
If you don't know where .DMP files are located, here's how to get to them:
1. Navigate to the %systemroot%\Minidump folder.
2. Copy any and all DMP files in the Minidump folder to your Desktop and then zip up these files.
3. Upload the zip containing the .DMP files to Onedrive or a hosting site of your choice and paste in your reply. Preferred sites: Onedrive, Mediafire, Dropbox, etc. Nothing with wait-timers, download managers, etc.
4 (optional): The type of .DMP files located in the Minidump folder are known as Small Memory Dumps. In %systemroot% there will be what is known as a Kernel-Dump (if your system is set to generate). It is labeled MEMORY.DMP. The difference
between Small Memory Dumps and Kernel-Dumps in the simplest definition is a Kernel-Dump contains
much more information at the time of the crash, therefore allowing further debugging of your issue. If your upload speed permits it, and you aren't going against any strict bandwidth and/or usage caps, etc, the Kernel-Dump is the best
choice. Do note that Kernel-Dumps are much larger in size due to containing much more info, which is why I mentioned upload speed, etc.
If you are going to use Onedrive but don't know how to upload to it, please visit the following:
Upload photos and files to Onedrive.
After doing that, to learn how to share the link to the file if you are unaware, please visit the following link -
Share files and folders and change permissions and view 'Get a link'.
Please note that any "cleaner" programs such as TuneUpUtilities, CCleaner, etc, by default will delete .DMP files upon use. With this said, if you've run such software, you will need to allow the system to crash once again to generate a crash dump.
If your computer is not generating .DMP files, please do the following:
1. Start > type %systemroot% which should show the Windows folder, click on it. Once inside that folder, ensure there is a Minidump folder created. If not, CTRL-SHIFT-N to make a New Folder and name it Minidump.
2. Windows key + Pause key. This should bring up System. Click Advanced System Settings on the left > Advanced > Performance > Settings > Advanced > Ensure there's a check-mark for 'Automatically manage paging file size for all
drives'.
3. Windows key + Pause key. This should bring up System. Click Advanced System Settings on the left > Advanced > Startup and Recovery > Settings > System Failure > ensure there is a check mark next to 'Write an event to the system
log'.
Ensure Small Memory Dump is selected and ensure the path is %systemroot%\Minidump.
4. Double check that the WERS is ENABLED:
Start > Search > type services.msc > Under the name tab, find Windows Error Reporting Service > If the status of the service is not Started then right click it and select Start. Also ensure that under Startup Type it is set to Automatic rather than
Manual. You can do this by right clicking it, selecting properties, and under General selecting startup type to 'Automatic', and then click Apply.
If you cannot get into normal mode to do any of this, please do this via Safe Mode.
Regards,
Patrick
