? about crashing issue w/ soundcard

I'd been having seemingly regular BSOD encounters, & recently got sick of it, so I ended up running a debugger program. It pointed to ctaud2k.sys as the problem, an Audigy file.
Problem is, I don't HAVE an Audigy, my soundcard is an Emu 0404. I used to have an Audigy, but I uninstalled it over a year ago. Is this just a straggler file that can be safely deleted?
I did a search on here before signing up, & the only thing that came up even remotely similar involved someone that still had a Soundblaster card instead of an Emu, so that didn't help. If it'll help, I can post what the Windows debug said and my system specs, I'm just not posting it right now because I wanna know if this is a necessary file first. The Emu knowledge base came up with nothing when I searched there too.
Edit: actually, I did some more debug tests & found out that while the ctaud2k.sys file showed up, the most frequent culprit was actually a completely unrelated program. I don't need any other help with this other than to know if ctaud2k.sys is a file I don't need.

A while back, I did install E-MU drivers for Audigy 2 w/ success (by running the ctzapxx.exe) --> if you look inside the driver installation for E-MU (EmuPMX_PCDrv_L6_1_82_01.exe\Binary\Drivers) you'll find that ... ctaud2k.sys is there too ...

Hi,
Please give this a try: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
Thanks,

Never had a firefox issue since i built my PC a year ago. for the last while as i can tell from my "about:crashes" i have been gettings tons of crashes

not much details to add. there seems to be no consistency to my crashing. seemingly random. the only consistent part is that when i crash once i have a good chance of crashing again soon. looking at my about:crashes, i see that i crashed a lot in november, and december.. but in may the number is really high. here's the full list - sorry the formatting sucks but i can't seem to format it well in your little text box thing here.

I'm not sure what you mean. I included the full list of crash IDs in my about:crashes page. The top ones are all recent, there are 14 crashes in May (this month) total, and just today there are 4 (which prompted me to make this post).
As for new profile do you mean a different Windows account? I only use one. Also, I use Google Chrome as well as Firefox often, and only Firefox seems to be having this issue. Sometimes when I am just reading a plain text page, with my hands not even on the keyboard or mouse. It's very strange and starting to get annoying.

Adobe Flash Player 11.3 r300 still crashing (includes about:crashes)

Just had some more crashes while trying to use youtube this morning. In a previous discussion you asked for the "about:crashes" report, so here they are.
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-1914231b-4147-4482-bd0c-ab1792120627
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/3ecec5b8-06e5-4e43-8a36-a9f5b2120627
I wasn't sure what you meant when you asked to "Attach the output of dxdiag.exe to your new discussion"

This is the crash that we're tracking. If you haven't done so already, update to Firefox 13.0.1 and Flash Player 11.3.300.262. They both address stability issues that present with this crash signature. Then, make sure you have the latest available drivers for your video card.
Once you've gotten that out of the way, we want to make sure that we get this issue fixed. The steps below will help narrow down the cause and help us take the shortest path possible to getting a fix for you.
1.) Type "about:crashes" in your address bar, and copy the links for the time period where you encountered the crash.
2.) Please temporarily disable other plugins. Click Firefox > Help > Restart with Add-ons disabled
3.) Try disabling Hardware Acceleration in Flash Player. Details are in the Solve Video Problems section, here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html
4.) If the issue persists, please disable Hardware Acceleration in Firefox:
Click the orange Firefox button
Click Options
Under General, uncheck Use hardware acceleration where available
5.) Attach the output of dxdiag.exe. Click "Use Advanced Editor" in the upper right above they reply window, and you'll get an Attach Files option.

Indesign 5.5 crash issues when updating links

I am having crash issues when updating links and I don’t know how to trouble shoot the issues.
I have adobe creative suite 5.5 and I am using a third party plug in called wordsflow to allow updating of MS word documents without losing formatting in Indesign.
I have been in contact with the plug creator and they seem to think that the way the indesign importer is handling images is causing the problem.
I am not a particularly experienced Indesign user. How do I go about working out what the issue is?

At first it does appear that the plug in is the problem, however i suspect that the builders of the plugin are correct, in that it is the way in design in handling images in links.
the problem is worse when any image in anchored any where with in the document.
when the updating links screen pops up, the point where it freezes and then indesign crashes is infact on a linked image file consistantly.
broswing other indesign link issues it appears i am not the only person with image link problems.
My question is aside form turning off the plug in, what else can i do to search for the potential issue?

Network Crashing Issue

I brought my Macbook to work today and later on that morning I was notified by IT that my mac was causing a Max Attack of some sort which was crashing the network. I also have had this problem at home where I plug my Macbook into the network and it causes the network to crash. Anyone know about this issue.

"Max Attack" sounds perhaps like they're referring to "Mac address spoofing" or something similar, where your computer has the same hardware address as another computer on the network. This causes problems with IP address leasing, among other things. The mac address for your airport can be found in the "Network" preference pane (click the "Advanced" button at the bottom right, and in the advanced options select the "Airport" tab -- It's called "Airport ID"). I'm not sure how to change the mac address, but it can be done.

'crashing' issue holds me back from buying an Ipod Touch 2G?

I read a lot of threads where people claiming about disappointment on the frequent crashings of their Touches! Is that 'frequent-crashing' issue experienced by every Touch? Is it really a serious issue? Any advice?

Well here is my experience with my new iTouch 2G I just bought yesterday... it crashed already and had to do a complete restore tonight lol so... yeah... it didn't last very long for me. I would say pick one up because the thing is amazing and hopefully Apple get's off there *** and fixes this problem that apparently has been around for a while. For a company that brags constantly about how reliable and stable their operating systems are compared to Windows, they don't seem to care about this is issue. I am hoping this won't happen to me for a while now but since it happened in 48 hours of me buying it... I guess theres a pretty good chance it will happen again.
Ultimately it's your call, but this was just my experience and also my problem was with all my download apps crashing when trying to run them and this was after I had installed the new 2.2 update so obviously they have yet to fix the problem. They can say that it's not a wide spread issue but I think it's bigger then what they want to admit.
I guess i'm just disappointed. since I have always been impressed with Apples products and this was my first iPod... while the thing is awesome... I expected better reliability.

Pavilion dv5 - 1217AX with Windows 8 - multiple booting and crashing issues

I have a Pavilion dv5 - 1217AX with Windows 8 operating system. It was upgraded from Vista to windows 8 last year and it worked really very well for about 1 year. Here are the issues I am facing these days
1. When powered on - Caps lock and Num lock LEDs keep flashing twice and the sequence keeps repeating - I checked the error code on some forums and it sounded like BIOS issue so I flashed the BIOS F38 again (SP46501) but it didn't help. I also thought it could be a memory issue so I removed the memory module and cleaned the slots and fixed the modules again but no luck. I also tried running the laptop using only one module, tried both the modules one by but no changes in error code. Then I thought it could be a toy bettery issue so replaced the toy batter that fits on the motherboard but no luck. I have also tried booting up removing the laptop battery pack but no luck.
So how does it boot now? - Once powered on I keep getting Caps lock Num lock LED flashing issues every time. Then I power off using power on/off button on laptop around 15 times or more then the laptop somehow boots up. There is no fixed pattern, sometimes it boots after 15 attempts, sometimes 50 attempts.
Whats happenes after booting? - Sometimes the screen goes completely blank without any error message on the screen. Sometimes Windows 8 crashes and laptop restarts, when it restarts I never see LED flashing issues (surprising). It crashes when I am watching some videos or playing some games, so looks like ATI Radeon driver issue (driver is 8.970.100.7000 for HD 3400 display card).
Let me know if there are any suggestion to fix the botting and crashing issues faced.

Hi Expertit ,
At first sight ,seems to be a boot issiu.Did you thry this?
Booting into the Windows 8 setup, select “Repair your computer” in the bottom part of the window, then “Troubleshoot” and “Advanced options”. Here I was given a good reminder of another cool Windows 8 feature. If you have a restore point created you can go back to that working copy of the OS without losing your data.
So the first thing you will want to try is the Automatic Repair.
If that fixes your boot problem, you had it easy and go on to create a restore point for another time you are out of luck. If Windows is unable to fix your issue, read on.
Go back to the Advanced options and choose the Command Prompt. Going for the next easiest way to fix the problem, enter the following four commands into the prompt:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd
After receiving a success confirmation. Close the CMD window and restart your PC.
If you are booted into Windows, excellent! If not, let us know , so we can try some more solutions.
2.If your video crashes , it is probably wrong Catalyst settings.Right click on screen , open Catalyst control settings , set it to high (Radeon) performance.
Expecting your next post.

Hi-
It is not compatible with the Sawtooth.
The Sawtooth uses PC100 DIMMs.
The 867 MHz MDD uses PC2100.
Whether or not that DIMM is Mac compatible is a different question....

I finished adding my transtions to my timeline. I was having crashing issues so I shut down everything before I rendered the project and now it tells me that the project is unreadable or the file is too new for this version of final cut. What Happened?

I finished adding my transtions to my timeline. I was having crashing issues so I shut down everything before I rendered the project and now it tells me that the project is unreadable or the file is too new for this version of final cut. What Happened?

What Happened?
No way for us to know. But if your system was crashing, there definitely was a problem. The FCE error message you got normally indicates the FCE project file has been corrupted. This probably happened due to whatever caused your system to crash & shutting down the system.
First, make sure your system is running correctly. Then, use the Finder to navigate to /users/yourusername/Documents/Final Cut Express Documents/Autosave Vault and find the most recent backup copy of your FCE project file. Copy the file to your Final Cut Express Documents folder (copy the file, don't just move it). Then double-click the copy to open it in FCE. It should open ok, but will probably not have your most recent edits (transitions). You may have to rebuild the transitions, but at least you will be back in action.

Firefox keeps crashing and I am on a MAC. I go to about:crashes and there are NO reports there. This update is a piece of crap. I have always liked Firefox, but I am seconds away from getting it off my computer forever! FIX it or at least do not send

No matter what page I try to go to the FIREFOX crashes. I go to about crashes it tells me there are no reports. I am on a MAC. The previous version of Firefox worked great ...this update is CRAP! How can you possibly put out a software update that is this bad? Are your programmers trying to put you out of business? This is the worse update that I have ever tried to work with since using a computer.... FIX this pathetic piece of software you call an update....... You help pages are worthless...they just send you in circles and never answer the question. I am on a MAC....I don't need to watch a vide on a PC! FIX your update!!!!!!!!
== Crash ID(s) ==
It never gives me one!

about:crashes only lists crashes that you have reported using the [[Mozilla Crash Reporter]] which comes up after a crash. Because there are so many possible reasons for a crash, getting the crash ID really helps volunteers find the cause quicker.
That doesn't mean we can't help without a crash id. :-) No crashes here, but I'm also on Snow Leopard and using Firefox 3.6.6.
Are you using Firefox 3.6.6? The most common cause of crashes on Mac is the Flash plugin. Are you using the latest version of Flash? You can check at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
Do you remember any specific circumstances about when the crash occurred? What sites you were on?

I tried creating a new profile to fix my firefox crash issue as well as reinstalling it, is there anything else I can do to fix it?

When I try to open firefox it immediately crashes and says "Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts." There is no crash ID. I tried to submit a report yesterday, but received no email that it was received. I do not know how long it normally takes for a response. Anyway, I have Windows Vista. I tried reinstalling firefox, which did not work. I followed the steps of creating a new profile and did not try to bring any of my saved settings over to the new profile. Firefox opened, but when I tried to go to comcast.net it immediately closed and came up with the same exact crash error.

You do not get a response if you submit a crash report.
If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).
You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page.
You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website.

Can someone please contact me about my issue?

I was extremely frustrated yesterday by the lack of customer service regarding my Verizon Wireless account.
I opened a new account and purchased a new phone on 6/10/14 from the Culver City store. They gave me a 'free' hotspot and a 'free' bluetooth device.
I was going to return the hotspot the next week when I discovered I wouldn't need it or use it, but I got my first bill and checked to see how much they would charge me for it.
There were no charges for it on my bill. So I figured they'd only charge me when I used it.
Yesterday, 7/15/14, I received a phone call from Verizon saying I had a delinquent balance of $190.00. I have paid my first bill on time and my next bill wasn't due until 8/1/14. Which I confirmed when I spoke to a customer service rep over the phone.
Debbie discovered that I had a whole different account, with a phone number I had never heard of before and that had the delinquent charges. Apparently, the hotspot was a contracted device, which I never knew, nor agreed to.
She put me on hold and a few minutes later I was transferred to Brandy. She said she couldn't help me and to go to the store I purchased it in to return it, as again, I've never used it nor do I need it.
While online in my account yesterday, I realize I can pull up my purchase receipt from 6/10/14. And i discovered they charged me $0.99 for the hotspot and $99.00 for the bluetooth device. Neither item had been free.
I arrive at the store at 6:30pm and wait for 30 minutes. I am then helped by Cedric, the same sales person who sold me everything. He tells me the hotspot and bluetooth had been free and when I tell them they weren't, he said, well you got a deal on the phone. He also said he couldn't accept the hotspot as a return as it was past the 14 day policy for returns. He admitted the hotspot had been entered incorrectly and had been charged as a separate cell phone. I asked to speak to a manager to return the promotional item that had turned into a debacle.
The manager reiterates that I had 14 days to return it and there is nothing they can do. He states they can fix the billing error but cannot take the hotspot back.
I ask for information for the regional manager and he returns to the back office.
When he returns with a business card, he smells heavily of marijuana and hands me the card.
I ask if this person can approve returning the hotspot. He said no one could approve it and walks away.
I leave extremely frustrated, now at 7:30pm and call the customer service line.
I speak to Albert who says the only thing he can do is contact the store with me to convicne them to take it back. I do not want to deal it it that night and we make plans to return on 7/17/14 at 6:30pm pst.
At 9:04pm last night, I received a phone call from the sales clerk saying he needed me to turn on the hotspot device to fix the billing issue. I decline, saying I'm working with the corporate customer service department and will return on Thursday to sort it out. He states they will not take it back as it's after 14 days and the manager won't do it. He asks twice more for me to turn on the device and I refuse as I do not want it or need it. I ended the call and marked the number do not answer in my phone.
I have acted in good faith and have upheld my contract for my cell phone purchase, but did not knowingly enter a contract for the hotspot device.
Again, I do not want it, I have not used it and I want to return it.
The fact I need to pay $55 for the first month and $20 after that for years for a promotional item I do not want, is horrible.
Please look into the fraudulent and potentially illegal activities of your employees at the Culver City branch.
I must believe that Verizon would not be pleased to know that this has happened and I expect that we can reach a resolution to this issue very quickly.
I look forward to speaking to someone directly about this issue.

This is not the experience we want you to have at our store location LAHeather. I'm sorry you had to go through this with your account. You should have been received all the information at the time of purchase to make the best decision for your account. I'm sorry you were not provided with that information about the hotpsot device. Do you have a signed contract for the phone and hotspot device? Do you have a receipt that was given to you advising of the cost of the bluetooth device, phone and hotspot. Did you have the contracts and receipts with you when you left the store advising of the cost and contracts for your two lines?
