SPI (Creative X-Fi Module) has encountered a problem

Why do I keep getting this message at startup? "SPI (Creative X-Fi Module) has encountered a problem and needs to close." When I try to open surround mixer as well as the?other software, it says "The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will quit." I just reinstalled the soundcard and Creative software and I still got the same message. How do I fix this?

I've got exactly the same problem with my EMU 820:? the external widget is not working, I get SPI error message on each startup, activating it manually doeasn't help and when I try to reinstall drivers I get the message : "Set up is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Set up will exit."

IPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close

After allowing Windows XP to install Service Pack 3, I started getting the error message "iPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close" whenever I plugged my iPod 60 Gb into my PC. I spent months, literally, reading and asking and trying things before stumbling onto a fix that worked. I got the hint from a thread in some forum, then verified it with the software manufacturers. Apparently, Windows XP SP3 writes a bunch of garbage entries into your registry, and in the process corrupts some of the existing entries (thanks a lot, Microsoft, I mean really, thanks just too much. That service pack was soooo helpful). Included in the corrupted entries are a LOT of the ones used by Norton Antivirus 2008. This causes Norton to somehow prevent the device manager from recognizing anything (device manager window comes up blank) and apparently also causes iTunes to be unable to recognize the iPod. Here is the fix I used (a hybrid of several sets of instructions from various sources, including Symantec). I don't know if every step is crucial, I just know it worked.
1) Uninstall Norton Antivirus 2008
2) Use the registry editor (Run: regedit) to locate and delete every line beginning with the string $%&'( BE CAREFUL-don't delete or change anything else !
3) Reinstall Norton Antivirus 2008 and update it using Live Update
4) Uninstall iTunes
5) Download and install latest version of iTunes from Apple
6) Connect iPod (iTunes recognized it at this point)
7) Use iTunes to update iPod software
I read a lot of posts from a lot of frustrated people experiencing this or similar problems. I hope this helps at least some of them.

Hey everyone... been watching these threads closely because, I too have this issue.
One question though... what if you don't use Norton??? I can't possibly believe that everyone with this issue uses Norton... I use AVG. When I search my registry, I get no results.
Does anyone have any input? Everything I read mentions Norton. This problem seems to have gone on forever, I can't believe it hasn't been solved eith by Apple, Microsoft or both.

Ipod service module has encountered a problem and needs to close

I have recently got a 80gb ipod video, but have been unable to use it, because no matter what I do I can't get it to appear in the source pane on itunes. Everytime I connect it to my PC I get a window up which says the "Ipod service module has encountered a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience etc"
I have followed ALL the instructions, including uninstalling itunes and quicktime (which I have done at least 7 times), reinstalling them with different settings on my computer. I have reinstalled a stand alone version of quicktime. I have tried restarting the ipod service, I have deleted all files from recycle bin and from Temp files. I have spoken to ipod at great length (3 different people, totalling approx 2hrs 30mins on the phone) and to a guy at Comet where I bought it from (20 mins on phone). Basically I have done everything I and anyone else can think of, but I still get the same message.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS....PLEASE HELP I AM AT MY WITS END !!!

hmmmm. i don't have a solution to offer you at this stage. by we can try some general troubleshooting strategies to see if that can isolate the cause of the problem.
if you're game, we could start proceedings by trying a connection after a selective startup with just the itunes and quicktime background processes enabled. see:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
do you still get the crash after the selective startup?

Ipodservice module has encountered a problem...

I have the 8GB Ipod nano... just got it for Christmas. When I connect the Ipod to my computer, I see a "Connected" message on the Ipod (and the unit charged correctly). However, when I open Itunes and try to synch the Ipod... I get the following message; "Ipodservice module has encountered a problem and needs to close." I have re-installed Itunes... no luck fixing this problem. Help please.

This worked for me after HOURS of uninstalling, installing, restarting, etc.

Error Message ipod Service Module has encountered a problem

I have just upgraded to iTunes 10, for some reason I receive two error messages, see below:
'*ipodServiceModule (32-Bit)has encountered a problem and needs to close, we are sorry for the inconvenience.*
If I then plug my iPod in iTunes firstly it doesn't open up like it used to, therefore I manually open to sync my ipod, but it doesn't recognise it and I get another error message
*'The software for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly, please reinstall the iPods software.*
I have uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times and rebooted each time, yet I still get this message, it was working fine with the earlier versions, can anyone advise what is wrong?
Many thanks
Lisa

found this buried deep, deep in another thread courtesy of mooncow. i'm in no hurry to try to reinstall v10 anytime soon, but a few people in the thread tried this and said it works....
OK, a colleague of mine and I have been looking at this to try and find a common factor, and I think we may have found one. This may sound like the latest from Department of the Weird but bear with me. It would explain why quite a lot, but not anything like all, XP SP3 users have hit this problem. It would explain why Apple may have missed it even though they may have done thorough testing.
We discovered that a machine on which IPodService was failing to start with the subject error message had Data Execution Protection turned OFF in boot.ini. Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature intended to prevent an application or service from executing code from a non-executable memory region. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875352. The machine that was experiencing the failure had "/noexecute=alwaysoff" in boot.ini.
We changed "/noexecute=alwaysoff" to "/noexecute=optin" in boot.ini, restarted Windows, and the IPodService started without error and has worked OK since.
"/noexecute=optin" is the default setting. I don't know why our system had "/noexecute=alwaysoff", and I am not aware of any harm or problems that can be caused by changing it to "/noexecute=optin". NB, changing that setting to "/noexecute=optout" or "/noexecute=alwayson" CAN cause problems if you don't know what you're doing, so I don't recommend anything other than a change from "alwaysoff" to "optin".
Anyway -- there is an alternative fix that people can try: edit your boot.ini (found in c:\boot.ini, which is usually a hidden file but you can open it in Notepad just by Open->c:\boot.ini) and change "/noexecute=alwaysoff" to "/noexecute=optin" (be careful not to change anything else in this file), save it, then restart Windows. I hope this helps folks. And if this helps Apple understand the problem and produce a fix, all the better.

IPod Service Module has encountered a problem...

Upgraded to XP Service Pack 3 and found that my iPod no longer shows up in iTunes and thus won't sync, however it is recoginzed by my computer. Have tried multiple fixes including uninstalling service pack 3 as well as uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes several times. Every time I connect my iPod or try to manually start the iPod Service Module (per instructions on a support page) I get an error message that it's encountered a problem and has to shut down. I've also removed all iPod entries in add/remove programs (i.e. updaters and iPod for Windows entries). Not sure where to go to next. I'm back to running XP service pack 2, but the problem continues. Any advice is appreciated.

Just to let you know...you're not alone. I have the same problem with no solution. I've surfed the Net for answers and have only found that it is not a new problem. I hope that someone out there can suggest a solution.

Help!? "Ipod service module has encountered a problem and needs to close"

Creative Import Wizard File has encountered a problem and needs to clo

Hello everyone. My name is Chris, I'm from Killeen, TX. I am new here, and came in looking for a little help. Now on to my problem.
Whenever I am trying to sync music to my player, I get this message quite frequently. It's the one where it wants me to send an error report. It always comes up when copying the same songs, and everytime. If I take those songs out of the sync list, it won't do it. However, almost half of my collection seems to be causing this error. What in the world could be causing this? It happens no matter what program I use to try and sync music. Any suggestions?

Thanks PeeBee! For some reason WMP burned those songs as write-protected (although at some point in the past I had turned it off). I reburned those songs and they uploaded just fine. Now if only I can figure out this video thing. Thnaks again. - Chris

IPodService Module has encountered problem

Hey all,
I have a mini-Ipod and i'm having a real problem connecting to my machine ever since I upgraded to windows XP. Everytime I connect my mini-Ipod I am receiving the following error from windows, "IPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Has anyone run into the same situation? I have tried uninstalling and installing Itunes as well as stopping and starting the IpodService to no success. Any help would be greatly
appreciated in this matter. Thanks.

let's try getting a crash log to the Apple Engineers for a look.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and and send it as an attachment to this email address.
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

WHEN I PLUG IN NANO IT SAYS iPodserve Module has encouterd a problem

ok, my nano has never worked and I've posted a lot of posts like "sheppy please help m...."but, the thing about it is that it still doesn't work. I just updated to the newer versioon of iTunes and now instead of thsi foler popping up when I connect my iPod it says that iPodservice Module has encountered a problem and needs to close. I'm not sure what this means. I guess it's a component of the new iTunes that's supposed to help my iPod. But, when I clicked to see what the error report contained it said this:
Error Signature:
szAppName: iPodService.exe szAppVer: 7.0.0.70
szModName: iPodservice.exe szModVer: 7.0.0.70 offset:000208e2
Reporting Details:
This error report includes: information regarding the condition of iPodservice Module when the problem occurred, the operating system version and computer hardware in use, and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer.

Come on people!!! bnoir, somebody help me!! plz!!!
You don't know how long I have been battling this problem. bnoir, i didn't mean to threadjack you and if you just fix my problem once and for all I will completely delete my apple support account and never bother anybody on this website again!

Audigy 2 value. Creative smart recorder has encountered a problem and needs to clo

At last I installed the audigy 2v software but I get this error when I try to open creative smart recorder."Creative smart recorder has encountered a problem and needs to close."

Everything functioned perfectly until I got the last updates using autoupdate. Any suggestions?

InterVideo WinDVR Application has encountered a problem and needs to close.

My TV Anywhere has suddenly stopoed working and the message "InterVideo WinDVR Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." appears each time I try to open the program. MSI Radio works fine. I have uninstalled and re-installed the programe (originally MSIPVS now MSIPVS3). I did try to download the new Beta drivers just to try, but the zip file shows 0 bytes!
Has anyone come across this, or can anyone suggest what I can try to resolve the issue?
Many thanks in anticipation

Photoshop CS5.1 will not even open. Says it has encountered a problem and has to close.

I have just today downloaded a free trial of Adobe CS5.1, but when I try to open it, it brings up the loading screen, and then when it says "Starting-up plug-ins, Scripting Support" an error message comes up saying "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close.
This also happens when I try to use Photoshop Elements 8. It will not let me on to the Organiser.
As well as this, I had a problem with bridge. Whenever I tried to download images onto my computer, it said "Adobe photo downloaded has encountered a fatal error. Error code: c0000005 (I cannot remember what the address was though). I uninstalled bridge and then tried to download CS5.1 so I could get bridge again, but it has only made things worse!
What should I do?
Thanks
Oscar

Ok I did that and it said
"Faulting application photoshop.exe, version 12.1.0.0, faulting module scriptingsupport.8li, version 10.0.0.0, fault address 0x000d1a2e."
This would make sense as when I try to start photosohop CS5.1 and the strtup screen appears, when it says "Starting-up plugins, Scripting Support" that it was the message "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 has encountered a problem and has to close" comes up.

LiveCam.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. Constant Error. HELP PLEASE

Alright so basically, my parents got a buy-one-get-one-free offer on webcams at christmas, and so they gave me one for my own as i lost my old one. Everything was working fine, seemed like a great camera.
However, randomly one evening when i tried to open Live! Cam Center to record a video, it refused to open, instead giving me a small white box with the loading symbol inside (thats where live! cam center usually opens out into the UI) and a boz saying "LiveCam.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.".
Now i thought that it was just a random one-off thing, but it happens EVERY time, WITHOUT fail. The cam works fine on MSN and skype etc, just when i try to record anything or manually take pictures , cam center doesn't work. And it doesn't seem to just be cam center, almost every software i've tried for just plain recording/capturing failed.
Tried updating to latest drivers and software, tried using older versions, tried using the cam from my family pc (identical cam) - failed, tried using all different USB ports randomly, failed. I'm really desperate here now, i'm at the point where i'm almost going to give it away and buy a non-creative webcam cos its really annoying.
My webcam is the Live! Cam Video IM Pro. Here's a copy of the error report from windows, its the same every time:
AppName: livecam.exe AppVer: 2.2.3.0 ModName: ctvidcap2.dll
ModVer: 2.2.3.0 Offset: 00002ca
PLEASE HELP! IM DESPERATE >_

See if there are any Crash Reports ID's saved.
Type '''about:crashes''' in the Location Bar and hit Enter.
Then open each Crash Report and once the report is loaded completely, copy and paste the URL of each report into the the '''''Post as Reply''''' box in this thread.
IMO, seeing that you are using WinXP, you might be better off with the older Flash 10.3.183.90 version. Flash 11.0 and later have "improvements" that don't work on WinXP - only Vista and later. Adobe did continue to support and provide security updates for Flash 10.3 until a few months before WinXP went EOL back in April of this year.

Teststand generates error ' labview has encountered a problem and needs to close'

Hi,
I am using Teststand 3.1 and Labview 7.1.
My problem is that I have a 1D array of 6 elements in Labview that I need to receive from Teststand.
If the array size is set to variable in Labview there is no problem but if I set it to what I require ( fixed 6 ) then when I specify module in Teststand an error message appears , ' LAbview.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close '. Then I get an 18001 about ActiveX as labview has closed.
Why does this happen ?, is it a bug ?

No bother its attached !
The vi writes to a global variable.
The 'Bytes To Send ' 1D array seems to be the trouble, If its set to fixed 6 in LV then Labview crashes from Teststand when I specify module.
If its set to variable its ok.
