Continuing problems with Audigy2 Zs Drivers. Help!

Hi all,
I have had a recurring problem now that has gone on for far too long and is really killing me. I have the specs for the computer in my signature.
What happens, is everything works perfectly well until I install my Creative Audigy2 Zs Drivers for my second soundcard. Then when the computer reboots, the pc halts just before desktop to a blank screen for something like 30-45 minutes. The only way I can bootup, is if I remove every USB device from the system. It doesn't matter what USB device is plugged in, the computer just won't boot.
I have tried everything: updating drivers, changing around sound card PCI slot, changing IRQ's but nothing seems to fix the problem until I uninstall the soundcard drivers, where everything boots up as normal.
I really don't understand this, and i'm suprised noone else I can see are having problems with this soundcard, and drivers. I have searched the interweb for a solution, and others that are having this problem, but to no avail so far
Many thanks for any help,
Dan

I really don't recognize this problem, but I wonder: what is your first soundcard? Is it an onboard one? Did you try uninstalling those drivers, then install the creative drivers and then reinstall the drivers of the first soundcard? (I asume you want to have two cards installed ..... may I ask why, just curious ...)
My first sound card is the onboard MSI 5.1 chip. I need two soundcards for flightsim (one for aircraft sound, one for vatsim atc). I have tried installing the creative before installing the onboard card, but the same thing

The second thing I can tell you: Creative often makes crappy drivers. One thing you could try is to start MSCONFIG (Start -> Run), and uncheck the SBDrvDet (or SBDrvDetect) in the Startup tab. That item causes some problems...
I will try that thanks. Could this be an IRQ problem (i am quite a newbie when it comes to irq's)
What do you think about beta bios drivers

Hello again Just wondering if the problems with Vid(ATI) drivers still

Hello I haven't been here in a while, I did an Arch Linux install a few months back and it was quite the learning experience for someone like me being a noob . I loved Arch( I was using 64bit) but the only thing that made me leave it was because after several tries I never could get the ATI VId drivers to install properly for my ATI 3870hd video card I could'nt do any serious gaming which suckedso I ended up uninstalling Arch. I did stay with Linux and stayed away from the MS OS's and now I am back and wondering if the installation problem is still there. I am using Ubuntu Hardy right now and although it is a good OS I really prefer Arch but like I said I just want to know if I am going to have the same problems with the Video Drivers as I did the last time. which I could never figure out because I did have duel boot 64bit ARCH and 64bit, Ubuntu but with Ubuntu all I needed to do was go into the system/administration/hardware drivers and check( turn on) the ATI accelerated hardware drivers I had no problems since.
I just realised that my single simple question turned into a short story so I will post this and hope that my problem with the Driver installs are solved so I can reinstall Arch with out any huge problems when I want to game

I have continuous problems with my iPad Mini, and it is getting worse! Newstand application keep pausing or crashing, websites keep hanging first time in but then open fine the second time, and I have problems with applictions crashing.

I have continuous problems with my iPad Mini, and it is getting worse! Newstand application keep pausing or crashing, websites keep hanging first time in but then open fine the second time, and I have problems with applictions crashing. Has anyone experienced similar problems and any suggestions?

Has the device always behaved this way? Did this start as a result of an update to the iOS software? If the problem is that bad, you should probably restore the iOS software and then restore from a backup. If that fails, restore as new and rebuild the device. If that fails, it's time for a trip to an Apple Store to let them have a look at the iPad.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Problems with Audigy2 Value and CMS

I have an Audigy2 value sound card running on windows xp with sp2. My speakers are 4. Creative 4400. I installed the drivers that came along with the card and they work fine. The trouble is that unless I turn on CMSS 3D, I get sound only from the front left and front right speakers. Only if CMSS 3D is on does the rear channel activate.
This is very odd considering that I had a SBLi've! before this and I had no such problems with my speakers. I've tried tweaking the software but to no avail. Also tried reinstalling - but no change.
Please help.Message Edited by shadowfall on 0-06-2005 05:59 PM

You are a victim of the align to pixel grid option.
Starting in CS5 if when you chose a new document profile of web, that feature gets turned on. Select All and remove uncheck "Align to pixel grid".
Adiitonally uncheck Align New Object To Pixel Grid, so this does not come back when you draw new objects.
Now if you are working on a web image, then that option is good to have on, but work in units of pixels, and all should be better as long as you work in whol pixel numbers.

I have a problem with my microphone, please help if you can

Hello everyone.
I have a problem with my microphone. After i bougth Creative's sound card "Sound blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio" and installed it, everything was allright and my microphone was working great, but this was when I used Windows XP, when i started to use Windows 7, it suddenly was very weak and i almost didn't heard it.
Currently, I have bouth Windows XP and Windows 7 installed, so I know the microphone is working when I am switching up between the OS, because it still works good on Windows XP.
If you can help please tell me.
I am using Windows 7 64 bit, I made sure the flexijack settings in the Audio controll panel are set to microphone and not line in, in the Windows 7 audio controll I have set the microphone volum to maximum and made sure it is configured properly.
Thank you for helping.

Printing problem with Photoshop cs4, need help

I'm using PS CS4, with a Canon Pixma iP4200 and Mac os 10.6.2. I CAN print from other programs such as TextEdit or Pages. And my printer prints a test page without any problems. However, when I try to print something from PhotoShop, the printer dialogue box opens, I see the image in the preview and the page rolls through my printer...without anything on it. Does anybody know the reason for this?? Thank you for your help.

I haven't heard of anyone else with those specific symptoms.
But another poster has had problems with his Canon 9900 not printing (but no blank page).
The first thing to do is make sure you are using the Canon drivers and not the GutenPrint/GimpPrint drivers.
After that, you probably need to check with Canon.

Problems with Boot Camp - PLEASE HELP!

I'm having problems with Boot Camp. Here's what's happening. I ran Boot Camp Assistant, partitioning a 32GB BOOTCAMP drive. I insert my copy of XP and start the installation. My MBP restarts and boots into the Windows Setup. I let it run through the initial actions. I press ENTER to proceed, F8 to accept the license agreement, then when I get to the part where I should be able to select the Partition 3 BOOTCAMP drive (as it says in the Apple Boot Camp Manual) there is only a Partition 1 Unknown drive. It is the only drive to choose from and its a C: drive. I can't figure out why after I run boot camp the partitioned drive doesn't appear as an option in the windows installation. Please help!!!

Boot into Leo, start Disk Utility and you should see two partitions, your Leo partition and a Fat32 partition of 32GB at the end of the drive.
If not, boot camp didn't create it for some reason. If it is there then check it with DU and make sure its OK.
While your in there give it a name so you can easily identify it in your windows installer.
If there is no partition, create one using Disk Utility at the END if the drive. make sure you create it as a msdos (Fat32) partition and give it a name. The name cannot be more than 11 characters must be comprised of numbers and/or letters (no special characters).
Verify it before exiting DU.
Put in windows install disk, reboot - hold option key after the chime until you see the boot screen - select windows CD to begin install.
Don't forget to install Leo windows drivers after installing windows.

Hallo,
It�s a very simple program to See the Clock on a panel. The program works well, but if I want to include a GUI to my program, it don�t want. I use runable action and I think that is be the problem.
Here below you can see the code�s. I�m sure there is someone who can help me.

The code:
public class Clock_maken extends java.applet.Applet
implements Runnable {
public volatile Thread clockThread = null;
JLabel           Datuum_label;
DateFormat      formatter;
Locale           locale;
Date           currentDate;
String          today;
public void init(){
locale = Locale.getDefault();
Datuum_label = new JLabel("date");
public void start() {
Datuum_label.setForeground(Color.black);
add(Datuum_label);
if(clockThread == null) {
clockThread = new Thread(this);
clockThread.start();
public void run() {
     Thread myThread = Thread.currentThread();
     while (clockThread == myThread) {
     currentDate = new Date();
formatter =                     DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.FULL,
          DateFormat.MEDIUM, locale);
today = formatter.format(currentDate);
Datuum_label.setText(today);
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e){ }
public void stop() {clockThread = null;}
public static void main(String[] args){

Problem with A300, Ask for help

Hello from Bulgaria!
In the beginning I want to apologize if I bother you at the wrong place. This was the only place i found in all your sites at "Contact us" menu. If I'm in mistake please redirect me to the right e-mail or topic.
I have extremely big problem with one of your products, and I'm afraid I can't solve him without your help. Few months ago I bought a laptop witch exact model is TOSHIBA SATTELITE PRO A300 - 1GQ. Model No.: PSAG1E - 00900NF3, Serial No.: 88549776Q. If you need another information I can tell you everything. Badly i got serious virus and the situation reach fall windows start. I know about integrated Toshiba Recovery and I used it. Windows Vista was successfully installed but the partion was not formated. Some of the system files was still corrupted and I resorted to Toshiba DVD comming with the laptop. I ran it, there was no problems until I saw Windows XP logo. I was pretty surprised because I expected Windows Vista like original one which came with the laptop from the shop. Another problem was that that installation formated whole HDD including partitions different from C:\ with Windows system files. All of my data is gone without I could be able to do something. However, th
e question is that I need Windows Vista very badly and I dont want XP. I tried to use hidden partition with Toshiba recovery again but I cant no longer access it. So I left with original XP with drivers integrated with it. The problem is that I need Vista with integrated drivers. It wouldn't be hard also if I found that drivers in your sites. Nowhere in your sites with download I could find the exact model to take it. The nearest was A210 which I think is pretty far from mine.
And it the end I ask for help if you can tell me where to download the needed drivers or anyway to put Vista back. Preliminary I thank you and I apologize again for the disturbing. I need that information badly and I don't know where I can get it from. At least show me valid e-mail to contact with Toshiba Support.

Satellite Pro A300-1GQ
This was the only place i found in all your sites at "Contact us" menu. If I'm in mistake please redirect me to the right e-mail or topic.
These forums are for United States computers. For that European machine, you probably want to post elsewhere.

You need to obtain a recovery disc that restores the hard drive to factory-new.

Event Viewer reporting continuous problem with Firefox

I had to disable McAfee Site Advisor because if enabled I could not use the back and forth arrows on the browser in some instances. In trying to track this problem down I discovered there is a continuous problem reported in Event Viewer with this information:
The entry <C:\USERS\CINDY\APPDATA\LOCAL\MOZILLA\FIREFOX\PROFILES\PV0GC0WS.DEFAULT\CACHE\_CACHE_003_> in the hash map cannot be updated.
Context: Application, SystemIndex Catalog
Details:
A device attached to the system is not functioning. (0x8007001f)
Can anyone please help with this?

The error could be something trivial, it will depend really on what problems you are having, and I note you have made a few other posts.
* One article you may find useful is [[Basic troubleshooting]]
* Also see [[Safe Mode]] & [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
** Note when using safe mode normally do not make changes in the first dialogue Window you see just click on the continue button (Unless you really do want to reset something)
** Also note whilst Safe Mode does disable plugins, it will not always stop all external software interacting with firefox .
A basic principle of troubleshooting is to reduce as many unknown interactions as possible, so in the case of Firefox disabling or removing as many extras as possible.
If you are determined to check what is in the firefox caches then use ''about.cache'' simply type it into the location bar and hit return, it is relatively user friendly and shows masses of info about what is cached, there is also an [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/cacheviewer/ add-on cacheviewer] Even without the add-on you may be able to figure out what the item is, and whether or not it is updating.
I do not even use Vista, but presumably an event log entry may not necessarily relate directly to Firefox use.
''"in the hash map cannot be updated.
Context: Application, SystemIndex Catalog "''
I would hazard a guess that the above message may relate to disk indexing; if so it will possibly have nil impact upon Firefox operation.
I do recall problems being mentioned on this forum about Site Advisor and Firefox, and note some versions are on the [https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/ blocklist] for Firefox 4. If you have problems with SiteAdvisor it would be worth ensuring you have the very latest compatible release of Site Advisor.
