Write protection error with my soundblaster live

Running win ME and cannot fully install soundblaster software disk.Doing a complete install.When system reboots,blue screen with the "Write Protection Error".Have to shut down comp with power switch. Then when I turn it back on,it comes up in safe mode.When I uninstall soundblaster,comp comes back to desktop. I have also tried to install with win XP home edition upgrade with the same results. I have formatted my entire comp many times since I purchased Soundblaster li've 5.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try moving the sound card to another PCI slot and then run the installation from the CD again. There is an article on Microsoft knowledgebase that cover the Windows error you encounter that you can refer to.

My speakers won't work on my new computer with a Soundblaster live! 24

When I was in college, I bought a Gateway computer that came with with Boston Acoustics speaker model BA735.
Recently, I bought a new Dell computer with the Soundblaster Li've! 24 bit and my speakers won't work. I have an old set at my house that works fine, so I know the card isn't broken, but I'd prefer to use my own speakers.
I don't know if I have to download drivers or change settings or what, but this is a pain. I have found some of the same problems posted, but they are usually involving a gateway computer, so I don't know if I can download gateway drivers for my Dell computer, I'm not very good when it comes to these things. Any help you can give me I'd appreciate.

HI,
In most cases this is about the Internet Speed or the portion of it your computer gets that iChat can see at the moment it tests the speed during it's launch process.
That is to say that as you start up ichat it tests the speed it can see.
this can be effected by other computer doing a download and "taking" more of the Bandwidth or rather leaving a smaller amount for your Mac.
The same is true if your computer is already doing a download or using the Internet heavily.
Of course at that moment your ISP could also have cut the speed you get.
If you launch iChat and go to the Video Menu > Connection Doctor what does the Capabilities tab say ?
This may have red crosses against some items.
Also check iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit
This should not be set at 100kbps fro Video chats.
Have you tried restarting the computer ?

Write Protection Error when Uploading track list to IPod 4G

Hi,
When I upload tracks to my Ipod playlist from the library I get a message
saying that the device is protected and unable to sync even though it has
been able to transfer 1 or 2 tracks. I then have to close down Itunes (without
ejecting the ipod) then re open Itunes and then I am able to transfer some more
tracks and some times all remaining tracks can be transfered with out a problem,
until I import another CD then all starts over again.
Does any one have a solution to this?
Thanks

If anyone could help me overcome this error it would greatly be appreciated. Java questions here concern programming, not product support.
Connection reset by peer: socket write errorThat says that the server, where the file comes from, closed the connection.
The most likely possibilities
1. The client software is not correctly communicating with the server. Solution: fix the client
2. The server is not correctly handling this request. Solution: fix the server
3. The server doesn't want to talk the the client. Solution: fix both the server and the client.
From the above unless you are in a position to fix something then you do not have an option.
If you yourself cannot fix either of those then this is a vendor problem and you must contact the vendor (creator) of the software client and/or server. You would do that somewhere besides this site.

SP-DIF 5.1 with the soundblaster Live! Exter

I bought the Soundblaster 5. surround External (http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=&subcategory=206&product=0702 ) to connect my surround receiver (with every standard imaginable, DTS DD DTS:NEO etc) digital with just one coax cable to my laptop. I want to view my movies and dvd with dolby digital on my laptop with the surround setup. I read the faq but just can't find the spdifpasstrough function. So can anyone tell me where to look?

I have the same unit and struggled for 5 hours. There is no optio for spdif output that I could find and you don't need it. It should automatically send the signal. If you are not getting 5. in your receiver then it is another issue, one I posted on avs forum but I'll repeat briefly here. If you have installed cccp or a codec pack that includes ffdshow then that could be your issue. I'm sure there is an option in ffdshow for spdif output but I couldn't find it so I removed it and that solved my problem. Also, make sure you go into your settings in whatever program you are using and click spdif output....also make sure this is selected in your sound settings. Thos solved my problem so I'm hoping it solves yours...if not post here and I'll check back.

BATTLEFIELD 2 HELP! Problems with onboard Soundblaster Live 24-bit 7.1 in Battlefield

with the hardware sound option selected, the voiceovers are totally stuttery, but all other sounds come through well. The reason im posting is because i was wondering if anyone had found a fix for the stuttering. Apparently Creative doesnt care about its customers and hasnt fixed it yet, so if anyone knows a "hack" or driver edit to fix it, please let me know. The hardware option makes such GREAT use of my 7. as opposed to the Software mode. Also, if there is no fix, how can i disable the Voice overs, because the option in the Audio menu doesnt seem to do anything. Thanks.

I have the same problem and no knows what to do is it a msi k8v diamond motherbord

Help with sb0200 soundblaster live 5.1 digital.. only playing 2.1

At the risk of being redundant, I can not download a ligitamate driver for my SB0200 sound blaster li've 5. digital card... nowhere on this site.. I can not find my orginal disc, so I can not get the correct drivers... I also can not test my 5. speakers because I don't have the application that would come with thte driver disc... I am currently only playing out of 2.... no rear no center... is there any help for me ?

Did you remove your original soundcard and disable the drivers? If you don't do these things you can (and probably will) get conflict problems when you install the new soundcard, as most motherboards do not like more than one sound device attached to them.
In my case (a Compaq Presario PC) the advice from Compaq is to to delete the drivers, not just disable them. If you?delete,?make sure you can get hold of a fresh set of drivers for the original soundcard should you ever need to re-install it.Message Edited by monitor on 04-29-200705:0 PM

Windows 7 Backup and Restore error code 0x80070013 The media is write protected

I have had a problem using Windows 7 64-bit Backup and Restore on two different brand new PCs. After setting up a backup to a WD MyBook 500GB external USB hard drive and performing the initial backup succesfully, when it tries to do another backup I am
getting a "The media is write protected, (error code 0x80070013) " error. I have even tried to reformat the external drive with no luck in solving the problem. In doing some web searching I did come across someone with a similar problem running a Windows 7
beta last year that appeared to have be fixed by an beta update. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
Please try this:
1)
Click Start and type: diskmgmt.msc in Start Search box.
2)
Open Disk Management, right click on the external hard disk.
3)
Click Properties and click Policies.
4)
Check “Better performance”.
5)
Click OK.
Then backup again.
Resource:
When I tried to backup my files, I recieved an error
(0x80070013) saying that media is write protected

Problem with DTT3500 soundset and onboard Soundblaster live! 24-bit

Hi,
I have bought a new PC with an MSI k8n sli platinum MB. this mainboard has a built in soundblaster live!24-bit chip onboard. it works great on headphones and normal 2 set speakers (analog connection).
however, when I try to set them up at the DTT3500 speaker set, trouble begins.
before continuing, just want to say First that my older PC is standing next to it, with a Soundblaster live! 5.1. If I connect with this PC to my speaker set, via the digital uitput, everythin works great. (5.1 surround).
In the DTT3500 manual, when Digital DIN is blinking, it says it isn't recieving any signal, or not the right one (like AC-3). (I know this when on my old PC when I switch to headphones, the digital din is then blinking, which is normal as I disabled Digital output in Windows)
now my questions:
Is this digital port is ac-3 signal or somthing else on the Soundblaster live! 24-bit?
Do I need to use another type of cable, like SPDIF Din Cable? (I now have a minijack to Din cable)
I tried with optical, it works, but only with 2 speakers (left and right / digital output is on). is this normal? If i look at the manual, it's typical used for gameconsoles with stereo left and right. I guess this is so with the DDT3500 decoder...?
if I try Digital Din on the Decoder, it doesn't work. the Decoder Led keeps blinking. Yet in Windows, digital output is on and 5.1 speakers is selected.
In short, exact the same setup on the Decoder and PC as my older PC.
My guess is the the soundblaster live! 24-bit is an enhanced version of the soundblaster live! 5.1? Am I wrong, I don't know....
I do know that the reviews said you could use the digital port (orange one)
here is a picture:
http://www.overclockers.co.nz/ocnz/reviewimage.php?id=05boardnf4sli00microstak8nslipt0104&file=panel.jpg
and here more info on it: http://www.overclockers.co.nz/ocnz/review.php?id=05boardnf4sli00microstak8nslipt0204
I would apreciate any help, as i'm really stuck at the moment.

does anybody use the soundblaster live! 24-bit to power a surround speaker set? or is it just impossible? (for gaming)

Write Protection in Acrobat X

Hi all,
I wonder if any of you had the following problem before and knows how to fix it:
when I open a PDF file with Acrobat X the document is write protected, so I have to use "Save as" every time and save it with a new name.
I'm using Windows 7 64bit. The access-rights for this files are correct, and I'm able to delete or rename them under Windows as well.
When I'm opening them from a different PC it works fine as well.
These are not PDF/A documents, I've already checked that and tried to turn off the option "Open PDF/A write-protected", but with no effect.
Any suggestions would be really helpful. :-)
Thanx!
Anne

Hi,
A digital signature is a PKI based cryptographic operation, not a stamp, and as long as the file isn't locked it can be digitally signed. For that matter you can add a stamp, which is just a type of comment, to the file as well, again providing the file isn't locked due to some other operation (e.g. encrypting the file).
Vector art looks great in a PDF file and it scales just like you would expect.

Error message when finalizing...file already open with write protection

I just created my first movie in i Movie. It's about 9 minutes long. When I tried to finalize it it worked for a couple of hours and then came up with a message "unable to prepare project for publishing because an error occurred (file already open with write protection)". What does this mean? I thought I had closed all the files I was using. There was no error number. I tried it 3 times and got the same message. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

AppleMan, I just checked that and it looks like Time Machine isn't open. I checked it by going to finder>applications>R click on time machine. It gave me the option to "open" which makes me think it's already closed. Is there somewhere else I need to be looking?
I made another movie that was just a couple of clips and it finalized fine. On that movie, I had some MTS clips and I converted them to mp4's so iMovie could read them.
In the one that didn't work I did clip one of the movies before I imported it into iMovie. It saved as a .mov instead of a .mp4. Would that make a difference? I checked all of the files and none of them are listed as locked, so I really don't get the "write protected" aspect of this error.

"Attempted to read or write protected memory" error in loading a report.

Development Environment
===
Windows XP
Visual Studio 2008 Pro; with Crystal Reports 2008 for Visual Studio
TagetCPU: 'AnyCPU'
VB.net 3.5
Windows dll
Crystal Reports Runtime SP2 (12.2.0.290)
Deployment Environment
===
Windows XP
.net3.5
Crystal Reports Runtime SP3 (no be confirmed)
I have created a windows dll with a form with a reportdocument, that loads a report (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument).
Then we circle through the report setting every table location to point at a specific ODBC and database.
The Dll can do this process several hundred reports in a day. However a small number (less than 10) of these have the following error:
"Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."
This is normally occurring when the reportDocument.Load function is called. But also happens when going through the setting of table locations: [myTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(TmpTableLogOnInfo)
The dll is called via COM interop and so i have checked "Register for COM interop".

1) Get to SP 3:
for dev computer:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
Recompile the app after SP3 is applied.
for SP3 runtime:
MSI
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123592010E/cr2008sp3_redist.zip
MSM
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123582010E/cr2008sp3_mm.zip
(You will have to uninstall SP 2 runtime before installing SP 3 runtime)
2) Do not use "Any CPU". CR2008 is only 32 bit anyhow so use 32 bit.
3) Make sure you are using .Close and .Dispose once you are done with each report object
