Lightroom 2.3 problem. Help needed.

Hi,
I'm using Lightroom 2.3 on a PC with Windows XP installed and 3GB of ram.
I seem to have run into a problem that I'm hoping someone may be able to help me solve.
Yesterday evening I went to import some images (Raw files) into Lightroom from my external hard drive. I selected the folder and chose the option to import all images within the folder. A message popped up saying they were already in my catalogue so I closed the dialogue box. I looked for them but they weren't in Lightroom so I tried the import again. This time Lightroom just froze up when I selected the images to import. I had to Ctrl-Alt-Delete to end the program.
I relaunched and optimized the catalogue and tried again but Lightroom froze again. I deleted my Lightroom catalogue, the Silvertone folder, uninstalled Lightroom and reinstalled it to start again from scratch with a brand new catalogue.
I tried importing some different photos from a different folder on my external hard drive, the same thing happened again, Lightroom completely froze.
I used Ctrl-Alt-Delete to end the program and relaunched Lightroom. I selected some images from a Compact Flash card that I had in my card reader, Lightroom imported these into the catalogue ok. I tried again with some images from my external hard drive but this time before freezing-up I had a dialogue box appear for a second saying 'Computing dates', but still no imported images and locked-up once again.
Help!!!!
Has anyone any ideas why this is happening and more importantly, how to solve it.
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

John,
The images are actually stored on that particular drive and I'm just importing them but leaving them in place.
After successfully importing one lot of images and Lightroom freezing-up again, I deleted the preferences folder once again and launched Lightroom. This time it let me import two folders worth of images in succesion. I then tried to import a third and it did nothing and froze. I once again deleted the preferences file and it allowed me to import.
So it seems I can import one lot of images or even two lots before the problem re-occurs and I have to keep deleting the preferences file before being able to continue.

Lightroom Corrupt Catalog problems- Help!

Lightroom Corrupt Catalog problems reading/writing from disk when attempting to repair - Help! I have my LR box in hand and my product keys and license info but can't find the disk. I'm assuming this is the only way to repair. Suggestions, Comments are welcome and appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!!

Corrupt catalog will not be fixed by re-installing the Lightroom software (although if I were you, I'd still find that disk!)
If I were you, I would first check a recent backup of your catalog file, and see if that will open (double-click on it in your operating system). If that opens properly, I would just use that file.
If it doesn't open properly, then one trick that sometimes works is to open a blank catalog in Lightroom, then File->Import from Another Catalog and point to the catalog file.
And if that doesn't work, please write back with a lot more details, including operating system, version of Lightroom, and much more detail abou

Adobe Lightroom 4 - Some Questions / Help Needed

Hi everyone.
After advice from several experts, I've just purchased Adobe Lightroom 4. I've already got Photoshop CS5, but I was looking for something proper to organise my photos, plus I found Lightroom easier to do the sort of editing I am wanting to do. Now, I only really use photoshop for things like colour pops, or really in-depth editing. Anyway, I'm loving Lightroom so far, but there is some stuff I'm not very sure of, so I'd appreciate some help
1. Organising
Firstly, I'm not really sure how to organise. At the moment, I've just got lots of folders with random events in My Pictures on W7, so I might have a folder called April 11, which contains photos from that month but that might have been a wedding or an easter holiday or both. So it doesn't really work. \
I understand in Lightroom what catalogs are. But I know enough to know that I don't want to group mine into those, its getting too complicated. What I don't know though is the difference between a collection and a folder. Basically, I'm wanting to reimport and reorganise all my photos, so I want to put them into "events" as such like you can do on iPhoto on a mac, so I would have "France Summer Holiday 11" for example, or "Mia's Wedding". I'm not really sure on the best way to do this ...?
2. Editing
I've played around quite a bit so far, and I really like what I've seen. On a lot of photos, I've made a lot of changes. But from what I can see, these changes are stored merely in Lightroom itself. For example, at the moment I'm importing photos from my external disk into Lightroom, which then saves them in C://My Pictures/Lightroom/Pictures . When I go look at these photos in windows explorer which I know I have edited, it doesn't show any of the changes or editing I've done on them. Now I realise this is me being stupid, but why doesn't it? Supposing I then want to email that photo to a friend that I have edited? How would I do that? I don't want to have to open lightroom and export every single photo I edit? There must be a simpler way?
Likewise for backing up, because all my files are in subfolders within C:// My pictures / Lightroom / Pictures, to back up I was simply going to set up windows to copy that latter folder onto my external HDD everytime I plugged it in. This would be pointless however if it isn't physically overwriting the original photo with my edited version?
3. Editing 2
Something else I like to do is make lots of different edits to the same photo. For example, at the moment I'm editing a photo of a pier at night. I spent ages adjusting colours and lighting and so on, and now it looks great. But I would also like to save a copy of that photo with the "old age photo" effect preset on. Is this possible? and how do I do it? Other than obviously importing a duplicate?
4. & 5. & 6 - Misc:
4. Simple question - how do I add tags, keywords or comments if I haven't done it on import?
5. My camera doesn't have built in GPS. Is it possible for me to manually geotag photos (in a batch, say for a Summer Holiday to NY), could I manually add a geotag for all these photos?
6. I also forgot to add copyright information on import for some, is it possible to do this after import and how?
7. I normally shoot in JPEG. I probably shoot shoot in RAW as everyone tells me to do so. Are there any significant advantages in terms of quality, and for editing with?
Thanks for any help given. I appreciate this is a lot of questions, but I could really use the advice.

Hi William,

I am not so sure if you understand *catalogs*.
You need a catalog, exactly 1 in my opinion. A catalog is a database. The Lightroom database, where records about your images are stored, including the pointers to your images, which are not inside a catalog! LR backups just does the backup of the catalog (i.e. a file ending .lrcat). You need to take care separately that your real images are backed up !
Inside your LR database the best way to organize is via collections - this will give you what you want with "France summer holiday 11" etc.
Folders are relatively unimportant, just storage buckets. They should be *handy portions*, I would prefer them with below 3000 images each, as there currently some bugs to those bigger ones.
Before you start with LR, you can organize your pictures in Mac Finder / WindowsExplorer.
Or you could do it with the help of LR, by copying your images over during import into the destination folders (and deleting today's folders afterwards after having verified that everything is fine).
A simple date-based structure will do, I'd recommend a root parent folder like "LR images", underneath one folder per year (\2010\, \2011\, \2012\...) and underneath them either
just one folder per month (LR can auto-create them for you)
or you create the folders in import dialog as e.g. "YYYY-MM-DD description of shoot", to have a mini-diary overview also in your OS.
Apart from that you create collections, either *dumb ones*, where you drag images into, or smart ones, where you specify criteria according to which they get auto-filled.

LR will never overwrite your original photos.
You can save most of the catalog content into the xmp-part of the original photo, which is either a sidecar-file (.xmp) or part of the file format, like for DNG, TIFF, PSD, JPG. To do so you select the image in LR and hit <ctrl> s. Or you set it up for continuous update, which creates a lot of operations while you play back and forth in develop.
I do that on my own, typically twice per file: once I am done with develop, once I am done with keywording and other metadata update.
LR contains records about your images, i.e. a set of instructions how they are to be interpreted. That is all.
So of course you need LR to export the result of these instructions, which is actually pretty quick.
To backup your images you need to do that just once, plus you backup your LR catalog. Or if you save xmp to the files, you can do another backup once xmp is ready.
I would not consider this pointless. You just have to think that there are 2 places with data for your images: the images themselves and a database with interpretation instructions.
3. Editing 2
Something else I like to do is make lots of different edits to the same photo. For example, at the moment I'm editing a photo of a pier at night.

Is this possible? and how do I do it? Other than obviously importing a duplicate?
Yes, this is one of LR's beauties: you create a so-called *virtual copy*, which is just a 2nd record for the same original image file with different interpretation settings, like black-and-white, a different crop size, different development etc. You can have as many virtual copies as you like, and you'll see them as additional thumbnails.
Virtual copies are not saveable into xmp, though. There is another concept which is saveable into xmp: snapshots. but these are different states in develop history, and you do not see outside develop module that you have several.
If you export virtual copies e.g. to jpg one file per virutal copy will be created.

ad 4: you use the library module, metadata panel to enter.
ad 5: you use the map module. Either you manually drop your images on a map, or you have a separate GPS track to load and have LR assign via matching time-stamps.
ad 6: like 4
ad 7: You don't need JPG from your camera, you can achieve better results viy LR from RAW. Yes, there are significant advantages as to editing headroom.
Overall, may I suggest my favorite learning material for LR? First watch Julieanne's Tutorial Videos.
Then go play and use Victoria Bampton's eBook or paper copy of her "Missing FAQs to LR4": http://www.lightroomqueen.com/books/adobe-lightroom-4-missing-faq/
Have fun,

Linked lists problem -- help needed

Hello again. I've got yet another problem in my C++ course that stems from my use of a Mac instead of Windows. I'm going to install Parallels so I can get Windows on my MacBook and install Visual Studio this week so that I don't have to deal with these discrepancies anymore, but in the meanwhile, I'm having a problem here that I don't know how to resolve. To be clear, I've spent a lot of time trying to work this out myself, so I'm not just throwing this up here to have you guys do the work for me -- I'm really stuck here, and am coming here as a last resort, so I'll be very, very appreciative for any help that anyone can offer.
In my C++ course, we are on a chapter about linked lists, and the professor has given us a template to make the linked lists work. It comes in three files (a header, a source file, and a main source file). I've made some adjustments -- the original files the professor provided brought up 36 errors and a handful of warnings, but I altered the #include directives and got it down to 2 errors. The problematic part of the code (the part that contains the two errors) is in one of the function definitions, print_list(), in the source file. That function definition is shown below, and I've marked the two statements that have the errors using comments that say exactly what the errors say in my Xcode window under those two statements. If you want to see the entire template, I've pasted the full code from all three files at the bottom of this post, but for now, here is the function definition (in the source file) that contains the part of the code with the errors:
void LinkedList::printlist( )
// good for only a few nodes in a list
if(isEmpty() == 1)
cout << "No nodes to display" << endl;
return;
for(CURSOR = FRONT_ptr; CURSOR; CURSOR = CURSOR-> link)
{ cout << setw(8) << CURSOR->name; } cout << endl; // error: 'setw' was not declared in this scope
for(CURSOR = FRONT_ptr; CURSOR; CURSOR = CURSOR-> link)
{ cout << setw(8) << CURSOR->test_grade; } cout << endl; // error: 'setw' was not declared in this scope
As you can see, the problem is with the two statements that contain the 'setw' function. Can anyone help me figure out how to get this template working and get by these two errors? I don't know enough about linked lists to know what I can and can't mess with here to get it working. The professor recommended that I try using 'printf' instead of 'cout' for those two statements, but I don't know how to achieve the same effect (how to do whatever 'setw' does) using 'printf'. Can anyone please help me get this template working? Thank you very, very much.
For reference, here is the full code from all three files that make up the template:

setw is the equivalent of the field width value in printf. In your code, the printf version would look like:
printf("%8s", CURSOR->name.c_str());
I much prefer printf over any I/O formatting in C++. See the printf man page for more information. I recommend using Bwana: http://www.bruji.com/bwana/
I do think it is a good idea to verify your code on the platform it will be tested against. That means Visual Studio. However, you don't want to use Visual Studio. As you have found out, it gets people into too many bad habits. Linux is much the same way. Both development platforms are designed to build anything, whether or not it is syntactically correct. Both GNU and Microsoft have a long history of changing the language standards just to suit themselves.
I don't know what level you are in the class, but I have a few tips for you. I'll phrase them so that they answers are a good exercise for the student
* Look into const-correctness.
* You don't need to compare a bool to 1. You can just use bool. Plus, any integer or pointer type has an implicit cast to bool.
* Don't reuse your CURSOR pointer as a temporary index. Create a new pointer inside the for loop.
* In C++, a struct is the same thing as a class, with all of its members public by default. You can create constructors and member functions in a struct.
* Optimize your function arguments. Pass by const reference instead of by copy. You will need to use pass by copy at a later date, but don't worry about that now.
* Look into initializer lists.
* In C++ NULL and 0 are always the same.
* Return the result of an expression instead of true or false. Technically this isn't officially Return Value Optimization, but it is a good habit.
Of course, get it running first, then make it fancy.

Layout Problem, Help Need

I developed one custom Report, which will print on pre print stationary. Really Problem here is when i send to printer it will printer properly on 8/12 By 11 Page, but i don't what is the reason it is not printing on Page after 7 Inch, even i thought i increase layout width it dos't Print after 7 Inch on Page, can i know why it is doing like these, any clue, please let me know.
Report Verions : 6i
Main Section : Width => 8.5
Height => 12.5
Orientation => Portrait
Report Width => 80
Report Height => 90
Your Help Rally appreicate in advance.
Thanks,
Praveen

You may need to contact support and actually show them the report to really solve the problem, but here are a few things to check first:
a) Check the report margins, make sure that they will allow the report body to display past 7".
b) Check that the frames and repeating frames are set to horizontally variable, or expand so that they can grow if required.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Metadata problem - help needed please

A rather strange thing has happened when opening Lightroom a few moments ago and before I go and do something stupid would request some advice.
I have a folder open containing approx 800 CR2 RAW image. The thumbnails for these images display the small icons indicating that I have applied keywords, edits and in some cases crops.
However, the thumbnails also display the question mark and when clicked upon I receive the following 'the following files relating to this photo were present before but are now missing' and in the box below it indicates that the xmp file(s) are missing. What's strange is that I have never written out to xmp files in this folder and so they were never there to be missing in the first place.
Now the options I have are to (a) forget about them but as there was nothing to forget this seems irrelevant or (b) to continue to track them but again, as there aren't any xmp files there aren't obviously any to track.
I had thought that up until this point in time all my edits and crops etc were contained within the database file and if this is so why the question mark. The options I seem to have are from the menu bar to 'Read Metadata from file' but because there aren't any xmp files associated with these images doing so results in the loss of my edits, and secondly, if I choose the 'Write Metadata to File' I end up with xmp files that I do not want or need.
Has anyone any reasonable suggestion as to why these question marks should be appearing above all the folders images (800) when the edits etc have clearly been written to the database. Yesterday no question marks today all this folders images show them so what if anything can I do about it?

Thanks Lee and if only the answer were so simple. No - none of the files have been moved or deleted outside of Lightroom because if that were the case then I would have no files at all showing in this particular LR folder as ALL 800 images have suddenly and mysteriously had the question mark attached to them.
As I mentioned earlier, when moving the mouse over the question mark itself it brings up the message relating to missing xmp files for which NON were every generated.
Anyway, the problem is in the past now as I have labour intensively gone through 800 images first clicking on the question mark and then choosing the option to ignore the xmp file as there aren't any xmp files to ignore anyway, Now the right wrist is aching somewhat. :-( The task would have been made much easier if there was an option within LR to apply the 'Ignore xmp files' to ALL selected images but of course there isn't one. User request coming up me thinks.
Never before has one application given me so much joy and so much grief. :-) :-(

Multiple problems - help needed please

I've got so many problems that I've completely confused myself. So, if anyone can help….
I was previously using a D-Link D-320T DSL modem on BT Broadband in the UK. The modem was set up in bridge mode, and hooked up via ethernet to my Airport Extreme (n). The AEBS would use PPPoE and successfully connected to the internet, as well as handling all my network needs.
Everything worked and everything was fine, allowing screen sharing and file sharing between my Mac Mini, MacBook and MacBook Pro.
Earlier this week, the internet connection dropped and I couldn't find the cause. Resetting the router and hooking it up directly to my Mac Mini, I connected to it (192.168.1.1) and had it connect to the internet itself.
It did so, and distributed IP addresses to the Mac Mini…but after 30 seconds my internet connection dropped, and looking in network preferences, I found that the modem had jumped from a router address of 192.168.1.1, to an 82.xx.xx.xx address, which was clearly the public IP address forwarded by my ISP. So it seemed like it was working in a sort of bridge mode still.
I reset the router numerous times, tried switching it into full bridge mode etc, but the AEBS was unable to use it to connect via PPPoE as before, because the D-Link would play nice for 30 seconds, then jump around with addresses.
Very strange, but I assumed the modem was just broken.
I dug out my spare router, being the Netgear DG632.
I managed to get this hooked up to the internet really quickly, and using an ethernet connection to the Mac Mini, it all appeared fine. However, as I started looking around the internet, I noticed that although google.com would open up, any subsequent links, and indeed any other domains I tried to visit would not open.
Resetting the router seemed to solve this.
I then hooked up my AEBS to the Netgear and, after pondering which way to use it, I found the only way I could get it to play nice was to have the AEBS in bridge mode itself, meaning that the Netgear would do all the routing work.
The MacBook connected to the airport, and all seemed okay….
…However, I then noticed that the internet connection would randomly drop. Web pages would not open (in any browser), and downloads which were under way could be seen in the Safari download manager to suddenly crash.
The same was true on the Mac Mini - web browsing stopped at random. I had however hooked this up to the airport via an ethernet cable, I noticed that, although the "internet" wasn't working, other connections like torrents were still active.
Reconnecting the Netgear router directly to the Mac Mini allowed me to see in its diagnostics that it still held a connection to the ISP and still had an external IP address.
Again, a reset of the router seemed to resolve things….but only for a few hours. And whilst the Mac Mini seemed resilient, the airport connection to the MacBook was terrible. (I haven't even tried using the MBP yet).
Furthermore, I noticed that networking between devices had severely been crippled. Although the Mac Mini and MacBook were visible to each other in the shared devices section of finder, clicking the link meant waiting literally four minutes for a connection to establish, and screen sharing timed out, from either direction.
I then tried assigning everything static IP addresses, but this seemed to confuse matters with the router.
Under the impression that the Netgear clearly couldn't handle the job of routing my network, I tried to set it up in bridge mode and use the AEBS as before.
Reading around the internet (on my iPhone at this stage), I realised there was no obvious "bridge mode" option, but I was told to set the device mode as router, and then say "no" when it asks if there are any login details for the ISP (under Basic Router Settings). This was done.
However, setting up the AEBS with PPPoE had no success, and the connection was never made.
At this stage, I'm living with a crippled network and two routers, neither of which do what I want.
Can anybody advise me on a solution to fix either router/modem?
I want to use the modem in bridge mode and have the AEBS handle everything as before, as it was perfect.
At this stage, which a frazzled brain (after messing with everything for several hours), something step-by-step would be great.
Help! (and thanks)

I have also recently developed problems with my airport network. I was playing my air tunes when it started freezing so i reset my airport extreme and expresses. When I tried to setup my networks again I en counted problems like airport utility couldn't find the extreme base station or when it did it couldn't read the setting. I eventually managed to create a network then when i tried to connect to the network it either asks for the password (even though its saved in keychain) When I enter the password it keeps saying "connection time out". I then turn airpot off & on and it the sometimes reconnects automatically without requiring a password.
My internet then will sometime start working again but then drop out completely or take an age to load.
The network will then sometimes disappear from the network list and I'm unable to see it at all.
No matter how many time i reset the base station it doesn't make a difference.
I my broadband modem is also a wireless router and Im experiencing similar problems with that. I took my laptop to work and tried to connect to the network at work and it seems to work ok except it did ask for a password the time out but did it only once.
I did download a security update recently but im not sure if its that that is causing it
please help me as well as I'm stuck without my network

for example when i hit 1(Category full) and 1(current member)..it displays this:
Are you a Current Member (press 1) or a New Member (press 2): 1
CURRENT FULL MEMBERSHIP SELECTED
Current full membership fees yearly are 800
Full members must also pre-pay 150 on a card can be used in the club facilities such as bar and shop
The total of this membership is: 800
The total number of 'CURRENT FULL MEMBERSHIPS = 1
The total amount of income for 'FULL MEMBERSHIPS' within the club = 800
The total of this membership is: 175
The total number of 'UNDER 18 MEMBERSHIPS' within the club = 1
The total amount of income for 'UNDER 18 MEMBERSHIPS' within the club = 175
Please Press '0' to add another member or any other key to exit.:
under 18 membership as well?...does this for other selections too...is it my arithmetic operators?....my if loops?...

SQL problem - help needed ASAP!!

Hey guys,
Doing a college project... would really appreciate some help. I am trying to use a variable in the where clause of a select cursor in PL/SQL. The code is this:
procedure results(p_search_entry varchar2, p_search_field varchar2) is
cursor c_results is
select * from physics_b where p_search_field = p_search_entry;
begin
for cv_results in c_results
loop
-- loop through actions
end loop;
The problem is that I don't know how to get the where clause to accept the variable passed into the procedure as the field name. Does anyone know the syntax for this?
Thanks very much!
Niall

This isn't the correct forum for this kind of question. The SQL and PL/SQL forum PL/SQL is probably best.
That said, you can't do what you want that way.
You can do
procedure results (p_search_entry in varchar2)
cursor c_result is
select * fro physics_b where subject=p_search_entry;(assuming subject is a column in physics_b)
You can't use a variable to represent a column directly. You need to build the statement as a string and then use execute immediate.
statement:='select * fro physics_b where '||p_search_field||' = :1';
-- this bit is probably bad syntax.
execute immediate statement using p_search_entry;Look up execute immediate and bind variables

Interesting problem - Help Needed

I am currently working on developing a report that has a cross tab layout. The number of columns are arbitrary and decided at run time. I am trying to create a
report template. The XML feed for the report has the following structure
<group name="SETTLE_INFO" source="settlementlvl">
     <element name="SETTLE_DATE" value="umb_settlement_date"/>
     <element name="BANK_NAME" value="bank_name"/>
     <element name="PRODUCT_NAME" value="product_name"/>
     <element name="PRODUCT_LVL_TOTAL_BAL" value="prtdlvl_balance"/>
     <element name="PRODUCT_LVL_TOTAL_ACCNTS" value="prtdlvl_account_count"/>
</group>
Here each settlement date may have many banks having many product levels. I am trying to summarize this information in a cross tab report which has the following structure:
For each settlement date (row) -> for each group of Banks(column) -> for each group of products under each Bank(column) -> display total summation of bal and accounts for each product (cell).
How do I generate these multiple levels of dynamic columns at run time?
Ashwin

Thanks for your help. I am able to generate columns at run time but my problem is a bit more complex.
I have to generated a table structure like following:
| UMB Settlement Date | Bank Name1 | Bank Name2 |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | Product Name1 | Product Name2 | Product Name1 | Product Name2 | Product Name3 |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem that I am facing is that I am not able to get the desired structure like this, i.e encapsulating the products columns under the bank column.
My RTF template look like the following:
UMB Settlement Date <?horizontal-break-table:1?> |     <?for-each-group@column:SETTLE_INFO;./BANK_NAME?><?BANK_NAME?><?end for-each-group?> |
| <?for-each-group@column:SETTLE_INFO;./BANK_NAME?><?variable@incontext:G3;BANK_NAME?><?for-
| each-group@column://SETTLE_INFO;./PRODUCT_NAME?><?if: count(current-group()
| [BANK_NAME=$G3])?><?PRODUCT_NAME?><?end if?><?end for-each-group?><?end for-each-group?>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bank header column and the product header column are out of sync. How do I make sure that the product name column is contained within the header of the bank name column.
Please let me know if you need more information about this.

Trigonometry problem- help needed big time!

Hello, thanks for clicking. I am filling in a Flash template
for a client- and the template purchased turned out to be in
Spanish. I don't speak more than 2-3 words of Spanish and I'm stuck
in one place. I don't think Spanish is required to solve the
problem, if you're already good at trig. Can someone please help me
out?
Here is what I need to fix. The "rollaround" menu at the top
of the page here-
http://www.rollwiththetank.com/l2
is not lining up correctly when the 3rd, 4th, and 5th menu
buttons are clicked. Try them out and see what I mean. If this code
was in english I know I would be able to crack it, but as it is I'm
stumped.
Here is the code controlling the rollaround-
Thanks to anyone who can help clue me in on what I'm
missing.

for the comments anyways....
Sorry I don't speak Spanish either, this is where I go when I
need it

Audio Console Problem - Help Need

Hey everyone.
I'm having a problem here with my creative audio console. I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 Value series. I've been using this card for about month now and everything has been working great. I've been using the latest beta drivers since i got the card and i've had no problems. I'm using the latest audio console too and it's great. I need the console for the Advanced EQ settings.
The problem is: I went into the console to change the EQ to 'rock' but when i accessed the 'EAX' tab, it was all blank, no settings, nothing. If i go to the 'speakers' tab, there is nothing to choose from also. Anyone got any idea what the problem is?
Audio works fine, just not these features.
I have had this problem occasionally before, but after a restart of windows, everything re-appears again. This time nothing is coming back after a restart.
I've tried re-installing the drivers and console, but nothing works.
Any help would be very greatly appreciated. I do love my Advanced EQ.
Here is a few screenshots of what the console looks like:

I am thinking, the beta read me states, some audio console apps may not fuction. The only last resort thing I can think of is a 00% clean sweap. Unistall drivers and ALL media source ap
ps.
Also make sure to delete install sheild and delete C:\Program Files\Creative folder .
Use driver cleaner after you uninstall drivers also, this is to remove all reg keys.
In C:\Program Files folder you should have an installshield folder (hidden) in there are GUID named folders.
Go through them all and any that have a reference to creative, delete the folder.
Install your drivers and apps from the CD. Then update all the media source ap
ps.
Then update you driver. Do not uninstall the drivers though, just over right them and make sure to say yes to over right shared driver files.
NOTE: When you update media source apps, use the auto updater.
Before you do this though, as a test go to windows control panel and you should have audio HQ in here, open it and see if you can change EAX settings in here. If you can, then its just a bad install of media source ap
ps.
Hope this hel

Calendar Problem- Help needed

Hi:

I am trying to sync my google calndar to my Blackberry built in calendar. I can't seet to do it.
Can someone give me the steps and the server addresses I would need to use.
Thanks so much. I appreciate your help and time.

I don't have a google/gmail address. I have an ordinary email address from my isp. That's what I am using . Is that what I should be using in this step?
Thank-you
To use Google calendar, you typically have to have a google email address, for that is what goole uses to authenticate all of their services. If your ISP has some sort of relationship with google to provide, via your ISP, some google services, then you will need to inquire with your ISP as to how to use those, for that is a rather special situation, not covered by any of the normal methods. If your ISP does not have this special relationship with google, and you wish to use google for calendar, then you would need to create a google account.

K430 Bad streaming problem - help needed

Hello everyone,
I wonder if any of you can help me or have had a similar problem.
I bought a Lenovo Ideacentre K430 Desktop PC (Intel Core i7 3770 3.4GHz Processor, 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD, DVD, LAN, WLAN, Nvidia Graphics, Windows 8) two months ago via Amazon and on the whole have been very pleased with it.
However I have had a major problem when it comes to streaming video. For example, when watching TV programmes via BBC iPlayer it will stop after about 45 secs and say that there is insufficient bandwith. Yet, when I run the BBC diagnostic it says the streaming speed is 3621 kbps and is sufficient. (I have two laptops in the house and both of these stream video without any problems). I also have the same problem when streaming video from other websites. When using websites generally they seem to load quickly and also when downloading items it seems to do these jobs at a good speed: it is just when streaming it seems to have a problem and stops.
I have even switched the K430 desktop to an ethernet cable to see if that helps - but the problem still persists. All the other devices in the house, i.e. iPhone, Wii, laptop all stream via the wi-fi without any problems.
I'm not that technical , so any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks,
Matt

hi Pikemonster,
Welcome to the Forums.
Just to verify, do you get the same issue if you stream via flash player using i.E., Chrome, or Firefox?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/tv
Also, have you tried to adjust the video quality (i.e. medium, low, etcl)
