After a month, still cannot install X

I bought an X-Fi XtremeMusic more than a month ago and have been battling to get it or the RMA'd replacement I got to work. I have an nforce-based mobo, so I initially thought I might have the EEPROM issue. But alas, the replacement is also not working.
Neither card was seen by my PC. The PCI scan on boot-up doesn't show it. With the 2nd card (I didn't check this with the first) when scanning the PC bus in windows, the card is seen, but the vendor is identified as "Jazz Multimedia" (vendor 0x00 and not 0x02, which is Creative), device id 0x05 (which I believe is correct for X-Fi XtremeMusic). Eh?
I also noticed that the 2nd card I got has a sticker on it saying "HP", so I figured it might be an HP OEM, so I tried the installation hack on driver haven. But no joy.
I have tried all the obvious things like removing all non-essential hardware and drivers from my machine, tried all PCI slots, flashed my mobo with the latest BIOS (and tried some earlier versions too to be sure), etc. I have scoured these forums and the Internet for a solution, but have come up empty.
Can anyone help?
My system is:
AMD Athlon XP 64 3000+
Abit AN8 mobo (with AC97 daughter soundcard removed)
GB RAM (2x52M Corsair)
X-Fi XtemeMusic
Windows XP (32 bit) SP2
Thank you,
Mike.

My new board wouldn't find the new ?Xtreme music card either. I fixed by trying different PCI slots till it do see it.

Reset the phone (no data loss): Press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears. After the phone restarts, try updating again.

BT infinity what a laugh after 15 months still get...

I am a very unhappy with this and very stressed,
Let me explain from the start I decided in may 2012 to try BT infinity, as was with sky and contract had ended. so BT where very helpful to start. everything was ordered, on the day engineers came to install, my husband stayed at home and was very alarmed when 2 so call engineers one trainee they looked at all the wires in the box and said "I don't now whats happened here will just have to wing it" well thats a joke in its self which BT were advised off, well the first week was a bit hit an miss which bt advised its just in process, after 15 months we are still loseing connection around 10 times a day wireless and 3 times a day wired. I have phoned BT help line repeatedly to do this test and that test plug this wire out plug that wire out now reboot sytem change channels after waiting on the line for over 30 minutes each time I even was told on one occasion to go and get cat6 ethernet cables it was my cables that was faulty so I went and spent money on them fitted them and it worked for all of 2 hours. The best thing ever today was watching tv and it comes up with the server error code again so I was considering takings talk talks offer. then I thought no I will give BT one last chance to fix this. I phone up and spoke to someone in uk from the essex team he was very friendly and helpful he advised when I lost connection again to phone straight back to his department (no ques direct line) so they could run tests he gave me phone number and pin, so we went back to watching tv kids playing on xbox upstairs then all goes off again within half an hour so I phone on this number that was given to me with the pin to be put in a que again for 10 minutes I finally get through and the rep starts reading notes he then says I want to sort this for you on this call so you dont have to call again he runs lots of tests puts me on silent hold for 1 hour only coming back once to say they have found the fault the tech team are fixing it now I think yes at long last so he puts me back on hold and when he comes back on he says sorry we not found any fault your internet is working just fine if your wireless products keep going off just try sitting closer to the hub. well by this point I am fumeing and ask to make a complaint and speak to manager he then puts me back on hold for 10minutes, Then the superviser comes on the phone he advises that he need to request a manager call back as he is putting this through he says i'm really sorry I cant request a call back as you have highest bt infinity straight to house so cant deal with your request your in the wrong department. Now my head is about to explode he just keeps saying sorry i was on the phone to someone for over 1an half hours that could not even do anything (what did he do while was on hold go for a cuppa) well the superviser then says I will transfer you to right department so I go back in the que for 10 minutes this time I speak to another rep from the essex team he does try to defuse my anger. my phone at this point is becoming low on batterie so he advises will call back so can use other house phone I check with him before he goes why the phone number and pin given to me to was wrong place he says sorry but you do have the right numbers for this department so I hang up with an expected call back within 2 minutes well no surprise there no call back after 20 minutes so I get back on the phone to the number and pin given me which sends me back to the same department that kept me on hold for an hour so I am then advised that the right department closes in 5 minutes so I cant put you through what a joke. I have advised I will be contacting ombudsman communications services and ofcom first thing tomorrow morning.
I am totally dumb founded by BT's lack of customer service and respect and as far as I am concerned I will be stating this to everyone and anyone that will listen if I stop even one person from making the misstake of going to BT it will be worth it

Quick update i phoned the ombudsman today and was given all the information to esscalate my complaint he did advise to give BT one last chance to sort my issue so I phoned again got through to india which advised dont deal with fibre so was transfered after 20 minutes in que got back to india again she advise could not deal with me as fibre to property so was transfered again 15 minutes in the que again by this time. I am so angry start speaking to someone and they say sorry you are through to buiness switch board will have to transfer you, I then start to speak to someone from exeter who say they can deal with my complaint I ask for an engineer and she says she will sort it as she has to deal with this due to her manager listening to call so I have an appointment for monday morning for enginer this is BTs last chance if he does not turn up I will be moving provider and making my formal complaint in writing with ombudsman reference

2 iPad's Down and Still Cannot install Anything???

I have just returned my new iPad to the shop and picked up another after I could not even install any software to the iPad from the PC, iTunes works OK, the computer has been authorised and then de-authorised, and then re-authorised, as already advised on this forum, but when I try to install anything (even a FREE App called iBooks) I get the following message:
The application "iBooks" was not installed on the iPad "James's iPad" because an unknown error ocurred (0xE8008001).
This is getting annoying, I have basically paid for something that I cannot even read a book on??? and yet on the TV adverts they seem to this or more, I have tried free games and free apps, I was going to purchase something but in case I cannot get this working I do not want to waist my money...
Please can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

After IOS 8 update, cannot install or update app

As my subject mentioned, after the ios 8 update, i cannot install or update app. I have done everything like calling the tech support, follow their instructions etc.. Some of the things i had done were
Soft reset ipad
Hard reset ipad
logout of itune store and login
delete everything on ipad and restore from itunes.
All these doesn't work and the problem keeps coming back again. This is frustrating that Apple would release an update like this that would break my ipad air. On top of that, quite a lot of app are not working eg zinio, evernote. My ipad air has been in this mode eversince the update release and i had mostly given up to resolve it. For all other ipad owners, if you want to avoid this anguish don't update to ios 8.

You are not alone. Here's one thread
Why can't I download or update apps on iPad running iOS 8
If you have the WSJ app installed, delete it and see if that fixes things. It immediately fixed it for me, but not for all people with the problem.

Local storage is low but after i free up lots of space i still cannot install an app

I have tried to install the Fifa 13 app on my ipod but keep getting a message saying there is not enough available local storage.
I have deleted lots of other apps etc and my available storage is 4.1 GB but I still keep getting the same message when trying to download the app?
Any ideas as to what I should do next?

You are all almost there. Fifa 13 is 1.36 GB. It can take about three times the file download size to download/install an app. It seems you just need to free up a little more storage.

Upgraded Fios from 15/5 to 25/25 after a month still on 25/25

So i upgraded my Fios internet that was orginally on 15/5 to 25/25, after even paying for a month worth of the service, im still getting 15/5 speed. I've been on the speedtest on verizon and speedtest.net both are the same being stuck at 13.6mbps download speed and 4mbps upload. Spoke with a tech for 2 hours and optimized computer, resetted router, ONT, and main box still the same thing. I paid 1 month of this service without getting it. Fix my problem and refund me my one month or im cancelling.

Still cannot install Win 7 on 21.5inch iMac

Hi everybody,
I have a 21.5 inch iMac with ATI 4670. I have been trying to install Windows 7 via boot camp but couldn't succeed. I tried both x86 and x64 but neither of them worked. Whenever I install Windows, after I input the details of my account and network settings, the computer reboots up and then hangs up on the black screen. I tried many ways but nothing worked.
I think about yesterday Apple has released drivers for late 2009 iMacs with ATI graphics cards. The manual tells me to move the "drivers" folder and the "autounattend.xml" file to a usb drive. The drive should be formatted with FAT file system, named MBRFAT and should be connected during the installation.
I have tried this method again for both x64 and x86 and this time I keep facing a different problem. As the windows installation begins, before passing to the part where I have to choose the partition for the installation, setup wizard asks me to the choose the Windows version to install. I'm guessing that would be like choosing between 64 or 32-bit or from Ultimate or Home etc. But on the list there is nothing written. It is an empty box. There are no versions of Windows to choose from and I can't click next without choosing anything! As a result I still can't install Windows 7 on my iMac.
Does anybody know what we can do for this problem? Also I have to say that I don't have any other Windows versions installed. I'd like to know also, if I can update my Boot Camp to this newly released 3.1 over MacOS.
Thanks in advance.
Sinan

Does nobody have any ideas?

STILL CANNOT INSTALL CC DESKTOP FOR MY IMAC

I have tried everything in the forums, and been on the phone with tech support. Still unable to install the CC desktop on my iMac. Case had been "Escaleted" and I am still waiting for "senoir" techs to call me, its been 5 days, no call, no email......NOTHING.

Hi Clare1950,
This happens when there is a service of creative cloud running in background and generally when you restart your machine and run the update it works.
Please restart your machine and run the update and it will work.

Still cannot install the agent on Server 2012 R2 Core

Hi
I'm using the latest build of the agent (that I could find - 2.0.8692).
This KB http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2997692/en-us says that 2.0.8689 and above should be supported on Windows Server 2012 R2 Core.
The installation works, but when I'm about to do the postsetup (Register Server Wizard) I get an unhandeld exception and cannot continue.
The error reads:

Still cannot install itunes 7.0 !!

Can someone please help me out with this thing ? How does this company claim it's product is compatible with Windows when so many people continue to have problems with it ???
Here's the error message I get when trying to install iTunes 7.0 :
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\Quicktime.qtl\DefaultIcon.
I've already had 3 posters try to help me and nothing has worked, so please try to think of something.

Hi Maxim,
did you download the correct Combo update: Mac OS X Update 10.4.8 Combo PPC? Currently there are 3 different ones, for PPC, Server and Intel.
If this answered your question please consider granting some stars: Why reward points?

The Zen Micro you have is exactly the same -- hardware-wise -- as the ones that are sold in the U.S.
Chances are that your problem is that you have the 2..02 or .02.05 firmware installed now. You can't "downgrade" from those firmwares to earlier ones.
If you are looking for MTP functionality and have the .02.05 firmware installed now, you need to install the 2..02 beta. You can't, unfortunately, install 2.0x firmwares, be they European, American or Asian.

Firefox says I have to uninstall a previous install before it will continue. I have done that and I still cannot install firefox

I am trying to insrtall firefox. Every time I try I get a message that I must uninstall a previous firefox that apprently never uninstalled. I am told to reboot my compurter to make that happen but it never goes away. I have tried this three times now and am getting no where.

Several take home messages here:
always back up before you update.
always back up anything you don't want to lose. Kind of like flossing. Only floss the teeth you don't want to lose.
Norton is very, very bad software, and you should get rid of it.
You don't need antivirus software on your mac. Antivirus software on macs causes more trouble than it is worth.
Your hard drive may be failing and thus may not be salvageable.
You could try booting into the recovery partition and seeing if you can repair your hard drive.
If that doesn't work, then there is a small chance that a third party utility (like Disk Warrior or TechTool) might be able to fix your drive (if it is not failing).
If that doesn't work, you may be able to send your drive and a lot of cash to a drive recovery service and see if they can get your files off it.
In the mean time, get notes and slides from a (smart) friend.

Ive purchased creative cloud and after a month still cant use programs?

I need a phone # or something this is not working

800-833-6687
That's the support number. Good luck though I just spent an hour and a half on with them for a very similar problem. They offered no solution and in the end said they would only give me help if I purchased additional technical support.
As soon as I cool down I'm going to call back and demand a refund and cancellation of my subscription. It's one thing for the software to have problems, but I shouldn't have to pay more for it to work!
