Audigy 2 value and crash after installing and reboot

recently i bought the audigy 2 value model sb0400 sound card for the second time after i build myself a dream custom computer. Following installation i ran into a problem that reared its ugly head previously on my prior system that i eventually got so tired of trying to figure out that i returned the card. Whether i talk about the attempted installation on the old computer or the installation on the new computer there is one ever present problem of the computer crashing and not ever loading windows at all after installation. The installation of the drivers and bundled up software all appears to complete successfully prior to rebooting however when the comp is rebooted.........nothing a black screen appears instead of the windows xp loading which ends up never ever appearing. I would be very very greatful to anyone who might have a solution to this because in no way do i want to return the audigy card for the second time especially since absolutely everything i use in terms of sound is from creative 7. speakers and all.
Best regards

Say again? I have that box. I have my optical put in, but I cant get dolby. Is this card suppose to decode dolby or not? I'm talking about XP, not vista.

Audigy 2 Value - No sound after installat

Hi!
I recently bought a new SB Audigy 2 Value card. After installation there were no sound. I read somewhere its hardly advice to reinstall operation system (XP with SP2) and then install the soundcard. I did this and I downloaded the driver update too, but unfortunately I didn't hear any sound. (According the diagnostic program everything is passed)
What should be the problem?
System spec:
Abit BH7
Intel P4 ,8 Ghz
52 MB Ram
Sapphire Ati Radeon 9200
SB Audigy 2 Value

I had the same problem. I ordered a vaio recovery cd for my vaio and wiped the c: partition clean and started over. When I started to prepare for my Audigy 2 value installation...
I didn't uninstall any sound drivers. I just disabled the onboard audio before installation and then I installed the sound card along with the drivers included on the cd-- it worked! Afterwards, I started to install all the other stuff like my drivers for the video card, etc.
Not sure if that hel
ps.
Especially considering that I'm running into other problems now that I think may be related to the sound card itself.
If you have time and the patience. You could put aside some time to start over if you're desperate like I was. It took me about two hours to get everything back to the way it was with some backup data and whatnot.

My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything!

My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything! It used to crash when importing but now I'm at the point where I open the software and after 2 seconds it crashes (nothing connected either). What to do? Can't access any photos

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create a new library and import some test photos then the problem lies with your original library.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If iPhoto crashes while trying to create a new library then try this:
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If that fails to help a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Click to view full size
Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all relavant updaters.
P.S. If you're still running Tiger, 10.4.6, then the above may not apply. If you're running a newer system you should update your profile so we have a better idea of where you're at.

My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

We'll need to know more to beable to help. Do you want to try to restore your photos from your iPhone to your Mac, or try to recover the photos from the old iPhoto Library on your Mac?
What is the situation of your Mac now? In hat way did it crash? A hardware problem with the drive? Does the system not start properly? Does iPhoto not launch? Do you still have the iPhoto Library on your mac or a backup, so we could try to rescue the photos there?
What versions of iPhoto are on your iPhone and your Mac?
however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?
On the iPhone you cannot access the "package contents" - IOS hides the file system from the users. To restore photos from your phone share all iPhoto photos to your Camera Roll, that are not already in the Camera Roll, and then connect the iPhone via USB and import the Camera Roll to iPhoto or Image Capture. Or use any of the other sharing methods described on thos manual page: see: Ways to share photos http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnk7d8f763e
To retrieve photos from a corruptrd iPhoto Library on your Mac we need to know the version number and more about the "crash" you experienced, the state of your mac, the system, the data. Please post back with more details.

Entourage crash after installing update 10.6.4

Entourage 2008 keeps crashing after installing 10.6.4. The problem seems to be the database. I have tried rebuilding the database, I have copied it, I have moved it: nothing works. Please advise!

It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

HP Pavilian m7050y & Monitor HP vs 19c keeps crashing after installing windows 7

Hi Forum Experts, hope all is well. Hopefully someone will be able to help me with this problem.
My HP Pavilian m7050y & Monitor HP vs 19c keeps crashing after installing windows 7.
I knew there was a problem when I first installed windows, because the windows logo was not centered on the monitor after intial startups. I did adjust it a little by pressing auto/select on my monitor, and that helped with the centering a bit but it is not perfectly centered.
The screen goes blue and this is the message I get when it crashes and restarts.
Problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer.

if this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen,
restart your computer, if this screen appears again, follow
these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.
If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer
for any windows updates you might need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware
or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.
If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart
your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then
select safe mode.

Computer crashed after installing new itunes version

My laptop just crashed after installing the new 9.0.2 upgrade. Upon reboot I received a dos screen that said my computer shut down due to a recent download and asked if I wanted to reboot in safe mode or normal mode. I chose to reboot normally and the computer would not boot. Now my laptop won't power up at all. Is there anything I can do, or has itunes killed my laptop??

Please help me ! I don't understand why I had to restore to factory settings and then when I tried to re-sync it kept telling me iTunes is not working. Why ??

Illustrator Crashing after installing OS X 10.10

Anyone have any idea why Illustrator keeps crashing after installing OS X 10.10 Yosemite?
Was working yesterday, but so far has crashed every time I have opened it up this morning,
TIA

Illustrator CS6 ran fine before I installed OS X 10.10 Yosemite on my MacBook Pro. But it never ran once afterwards. When I launch AI CS6, it says it needs a legacy version of Java. Did anyone else encounter this? I don't want to install the older version of java without knowing if it'll fix the problem, or what the impact will be to other programs which all seem to run fine after my upgrade to Yosemite. Any guidance out there?
Thanks,
-Eric

Several applications crash after installing "MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0"

Hello fellow Apple users,
I am facing a couple of problems after installing the afore mentioned update from the App Store. Several applications do either not work correctly or simply crash at startup. Here's an incomplete list of the issues I am facing:
LoginScreen does not show login box, screen is gray. Login is (although blindly) still possible
Calendar cannot login to calendars, prompts loginbox on every startup and then fails (yeah, I checked the entered password twice)
Skype crashes on startup
MS Office crashes on startup (except Outlook)word and excel do not crash when opening a file diretly, powerpoint does only show one slide
Path Finder does not show left pane (completely white)
Preview crashes on startup
Quicklook does not work for pdfs
Finder crashes when pdf or worddoc is selected
Finder crashes when mounted dmg is selected
Google Chrome crashes when flash movie is played
Google Chrome keeps on asking for keychain authorization
iPhone Simulator crashes on startup
XCode cannot be closed
When I look into the generated error reports after crashes most applications die because of a "EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)" error. I tried to download and install the update manually from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1609 which seemed to fix the issues at first, but after a day they reappeared. Anyone experiencing this as well? Any hints?
Thanks in advance

Problem with black screen and crashes after installing windows 7 and bootcamp

K, so I partitioned my internal HD using Bootcamp, installed a new copy of Windows 7 Home, put in my Mac OSX disk and installed the additional stuff. I can successfully log in to Windows and open the browsers I have installed: Comodo dragon and Mozilla FF. McAfee auto installed with FF and I have Comodo Antivirus installed.
However, within minutes of use, my screen goes black, the computer does not shut down and reboot, I have to press the power button and wait a few secs for it to shut down then reboot. This has happened from both browsers while in Windows on Facebook in a game; while trying to save an attachment from an email via webmail and also while checking the inbuilt Windows settings for the display.
The latter produced the following report (below) on reboot and when I hit the "look for a solution" button, the actual window vanished after a few secs.
2 additional bits of info which may or may not be related:
a) running windows troubleshooter I discovered I have prob with:
driver for Inter (r) 5 series /3400 series chipset Family USB Universal Host Contoller - 3B3B
- I Googled this and it seems a common prob. Tried the reinstall, didn't work, so disabled it as suggested on some of the forum posts.
b) The OSX side of my computer seems to run fine most of the time, tho I have had the odd back screen, then wait, press reboot to power on and off in past as related in this post last month: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4844797 (maybe a kernal panic..???)
Would anyone know what is causing these probs or what I can do about them? My computer is no longer under warranty and the couple of times I had probs while it was, I was told the probs were to do with the power supply and given a new one, I'm not sure if they looked at the logic board. The OSX side has also had an ongoing prob to do with sudden shrinkage of the image content, which I mentioned to the geniuses at the Apple store b4, but as it wasn't acting up there they couldn't do anything about it... ( looks as tho sm1 changed the screen resolution and whatever is in the browser window shrinks, tho desktop, is never effected - if that makes sense!.)
All in all tho, does make me wonder if the prob is based in the graphics switching..???

Audigy 2 Value and Windows 7 64bit driver don't work

my first Audigy SE before Audigy 2 Value (SB0400) worked perfect on Windows 7 64bit
with Audigy 2 Value SB0400 i tried 3 drivers , including the beta from the creative support , original and daniel_k driver and after reboot the windows hangs at LOGO and stays there.

Re: SB Audigy 2 ZS and Windows 7 - Full Package driver?T While Creative has written new drivers and some applications for Windows 7/Vista for the Audigy, they have not re-written or updated all of the original applications on the CD. This card is very old now. What Daniel K. did was take all of the applications or most of them, and tweaked them to properly install and include themselves in the registry on operating systems other than Windows XP. For the full and most recent package, check here:
http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-...009/td-p/53838
If the application you want is not included in his package, then you can try downloading the official Creative version and install it on your system in "compatibility mode" by right clicking the file, and choosing properties, and then the compatibility tab and choosing "Windows XP service pack 2 or 3" and it may or may not function.

Audigy 2 Value and Win98

I don't understand.
Why does the Audigy 2ZS work with Win98SE...
System RAM: 64MB for Windows? 98SE and ME, 28MB for Windows? 2000 SP2 and XP
(source:
http://creative.com/products/product.asp?category=&subcategory=204&product=495& nav=4 )
But the Audigy 2 Value (emphasis on VALUE) card does not? ...
Microsoft? Windows? XP, Windows? 2000 SP3 or Windows ME
(source: http://creative.com/products/product.asp?category=&subcategory=204&product=0653 &nav=4 )
Is this really true? I thought for SURE that I read somewhere that the Value 2 card works with Win98SE. Bummmmmmer.
Are there any drivers for Win98SE for the Audigy 2 Value card? I didn't find them after a quick online search.
I'm waiting for a reply so that I can take the card back to the store, if necessary, and get my money back.

seems like this card is definiti'vely unsupported in Win98. Only drivers for XP/2k/Me wherever I'm searching for on the web. Funny thing is that some resellers are writing it is supported under 98.
