Big Problems with Vista and Audigy

Hello.
My name is Jana and I'm from Germany. This board is my last hope now.
I have big problems to use my audigy 2zs in Vista Business (32 bit).
I use the latest driver from 9.3.07.
The installation process works fine and I get no errors. But I can't start the AudioConSole . I always get an error, that no audio device was found (error message is german)?!? The device manager shows no problems and the audigy 2zs is correctly listed.
I need this AudioConSole to activate the 5. speaker settings. In the sound preferences in Vista is that not possible.
My speakers also need the creative software from cd to activate the bass, but I when I install this software and then restart, only a few programs are installed (but they don't work). I need especially the speaker settings but there is unfortunately no way to install this software.
I did this procedure at least 5, 6 or 7 times, but it always don't works.
So please can you help me?
Sry for my bad english.

Hmm... Try to redownload the drivers from the website, because Creative has updated them to include a proper signature. It is possible that the drivers do not load if they are not signed, which would explain why the AudioConsole does not launch. Also, Windows Vista does the Bass redirection by itself:? If you select 5. speakers from the standard Control Panel, you will be asked whether you have satellites or full-range speakers. Selecting satellites means that the lower frequencies need to be played by the Subwoofer instead. If that still doesn't work, you can do the following:? Extract the downloaded drivers using WinRAR (or similar) (right-click and then extract). Then go to the Subfolder "Drivers\wdm\common\i386"? and run "CtPanel.exe". From there going to the speakers tab there is a "BASS-M" option...

My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
. Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
Note:
When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

SMB problems with Vista and Samba 3.0.25a

I've got a huge problem with my network setup here. I've read the previous posts about non working samba shares, but I did not found any working tips. I have done some additional tests, and I would like to share them with you, maybe anyone finds the solution based on them.
So the problem is that I cannot access smb based shares. Not on my Windows (Vista) workstation, and not on my freebsd server (samba 3.0.25a). Login seems to be successful. When I enter a wrong username, or a wrong password, the finder tells me that this credentials are wrong. So as far as I can see the problem must be behind the login step.
My samba logfile does not report anything, same for the firewall logs from Leopard. When I try to list the shares from the terminal (with smbclient) it works fine. I even can mount this shares, but the goal was to have it available in the finder.
When I use +K to mount the share the manual way, I can enter the username and password (if they are wrong, I get the right error message), but after that I get only the connecting dialog.
Thank you very much to everyone who might have any idea how that could be fixed.
Have a nice day.

FYI: This issue was fixed in 10.5.2, and there is a workaround for previous versions: Remote % signs from the password.

DualCoreCenter has a (big) problem with Vista's UAC

Hi
A few days ago i've purchased a new setup with P35 Platinum Combo board.
Installed Vista, all of drivers, and 'Dual Core Center' utility (DCC Sidebar too).
The problem is, every time vista boots its UAC (user access control) prompts for permission for Dual Core Center (and DCC Sidebar).
Well, yesterday these utilities was at least started when i'd allow them after the prompts. However, they wont start now, even if i allow them - vista reports DCC is closed, find solution online etc.
The DCC version that came on cd was 2.0.1.8, so i went to MSI site and download the latest 2.0.4 version. Uninstalled the old one, installed the new, and nothing changed - the same problem with UAC.
There are certain expert's opinions, this is MSI's flaw, because DCC cannot be Vista certified if it requires admin privileges at start-up.
Is it possible that DCC is not yet fully Vista ready?

Quote
The Intel Desktop monitor runs without admin privileges. Someone at MSI is being lazy.
from this thread.
I really like DCC because i saw many pc's that runs that app and works almost noiseless. Ability to control temp and speed of fans is something that i really appreciate.
On the other hand, i have some (relatively new) Gigabyte boards with their EasyTune apps which work pretty lousy, cpu fan roars often without any visible reason, and it takes to much time for decreasing its speed...
But, if you know of some decent replacement for DCC, which will work on Vista without this UAC issue, you're welcome.
Thanks
edit:
and yeah, i have reinstalled it a couple of times.

Many problems with Vista and Itunes--slowing and crashing

Okay, so itunes has never worked right on my computer. I have a Comaq Persario V6000 with the Centrino duo. These are some of the problems I have with Itunes:
1. will not play initially on start up. I need to close itunes, open it again and then sometimes it plays.
2. Sometime itunes never opens, no matter how many times I click on the icon.
3. Runs very slowly at times. Might take 30 seconds for a rating to appear after I've clicked on it.
4. Crashes completely.
I've tried reinstalling itunes numerous times to no avail. I'm also using the newest itunes version. Every other program works fine on my computer, except itunes. Any help is appreciated. I'm at my wits end. I love my ipod but I hate itunes.

Hmmm. Looked around and tried all the tips and tricks. Nothing works basically. Even took the PC to pieces and plugged in my old graphics card (totally different make and drivers etc). No success. Mucked around with the memory, BIOS setup etc. Even read people in the same boat having no success reinstalling XP! Grief... Luckily I have a laptop to use for the iPod. Bit of a pain (should get a second cable really), but should work, esp with my portable 300gb drive. Annoying, buy hey....
Oh, and I got the superman returns mp4 to play in a window from the website. After watching it through the windows player I selected the QuickTime version of the movie and waited for BSOD. Nope, played fine (much better quality too). Ok I thought, perhaps I've fixed it, play the downloaded version on the desktop. Nope, BSOD ****. ****....
Hmmm, notice all the Apple gurus here loading up with tips and suggestions. Aha. Honestly anything more than "How do you get Britneys picture to appear?" and they don't want to know. Typical....
Good luck.
Cheers

Problems with Vista and Reader 8.12 - unusual problem need help

I can't seem to find anyone to help me or any record of someone else having this problem. As soon as I install reader 8.12 on my new system (Vista) it begins 'hijacking' other files. In other words other icons on my desktop (e.g., the icon for AOL IM) turn into PDF icons and so when I try to launch an .exe file - Reader launches instead and of course tells me it can't open the file. This is so maddening. I've installed and unstalled the program several times and have rebooted. I've tried to contact Adobe but they will not provide support, I've contacted Gateway and they say it's an Adobe issue and Microsoft won't speak with me because Vista was pre-installed on the computer. If anyone has any ideas and can assist me I'd greatly appreciate it. For now I just have to leave the program uninstalled and therefore can't open any PDFs.
Anita

It seems that in Vista bad things may happen if you ever choose a
program to open downloaded EXE files.
This may help with the EXE issue:

Sami,
Thanks for the file and the screenshots. A couple of remarks.
Try to update your BIOS. You currently have version 05.04. There may be a newer version available, although the file date is 05/19/2009, so it may be current. Just check it please.
You have ASUS Six Engine running. I would disable that from starting. I never found a use for it, I prefer to use my own judgement.
Here are your results in comparison to my score, while running at a clock speed of 3441 MHz, so about 30% faster.
As you can see, your CPU results are in line with mine, considering the 30% difference in clock speed. The same applies to your memory mark, nothing wrong with that either. You did not test the CD speed, and that can lead to a lower PassMark rating. Rerun the test with a CD or DVD in the drive. That may help.
Your video card is causing serious problems. The speed of the video card is not really CPU clock speed dependent. Your results are very disappointing. First thing to check is whether you have the latest drivers. Your 2D Graphics results are about 1/3-rd of my results and the 3D results are about half of what I achieved. This is rather surprising, since I would have expected the nVidia card to be much better than shown here.
Your disk results are disastrous for the final benchmark result, but on the other hand, not unexpected. Your results are done on a single disk in comparison to my 12 disk array, which is around 10 times faster, even with parity calculations.
To summarize, your video card is the big bottleneck here. Check for new drivers, altough based on the date of the drivers, it seems unlikely there are newer ones. An alternative might be to temporarily reduce your screen resolution and rerun the test while using something like 960 x 600. This will possibly lead to a higher score, although that is faking it a bit.

Problems with ALSA and Audigy 2

I have a Audigy 2 Value card in my box and it has been working fine under Gentoo, SuSe and Kubuntu. But with Arch I can't get it to work. I have followed the wiki and installed all the alsa stuff, but it won't find the card!
I can modprobe snd-emu10k1 and then all the modules show up when I check with lsmod. Dmesg tells me that there's a Creative Audigy 2 installed, but when I run alsamixer i just get
"alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"
both as root and as a user. I've added the user to the audio group.
Running alsaconf just locks up Konsole.
I've tested this with both devfs and udev.
Running 2.6.10 and the latest alsa.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Should I compile a newer kernel?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Erased disk - BIG problems with OSX and restoring from TM

Hi,
Please bare with me here - I've been trying to solve this problem across the last 3 days.
I was advised by a friend to do a fresh install of OSX after erasing my current in internal HDD (2009 Macbook Pro 13").
I 1st confirmed that time machine had a complete back-up on my external USB drive
I followed the instructions via the OSX install disk, erased the current drive and then completed the OSX re-install.
When the time came to migrate, I received a screen message stating that my time machine back-up contains a newer version of OSX and therefore could not be migrated.
I allowed the new OSX install to complete and then updated to the latest version of OSX.
I opened migration assistant and followed the instructions to restore my last time machine back-up. This took a while but seemed to work.
I rebooted and was only able to find the clean OSX install - I could not locate the restored files from time machine - not anywhere. However my HDD was now showing a free space of 140Gb (of a total 500) so something had been restored.
I spent many hrs looking and in the end went back to square one - erased HDD and reinstalled OSX.
This is the point I'm at now and I have no idea how to get my time machine back-up restored?????

Please bare with me here
What exactly are we going to bare!
I was advised by a friend to do a fresh install of OSX after erasing my current in internal HDD (2009 Macbook Pro 13").
Assuming you had a very good reason and you guys had tried everything else including an archive and install of course
I rebooted and was only able to find the clean OSX install - I could not locate the restored files from time machine - not anywhere.
Did you check for invisible folders in your users folder i.e "ls -a /Users/" ?
I spent many hrs looking and in the end went back to square one - erased HDD and reinstalled OSX.
Hmmm you could have asked here before square one but regardless check this forum out http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1227&start=0. At the top you will find tips by Pondini which will tell you at the very least how to get your old system back. Also what you did I think probably worked as well and you just didn't check /Users/.name/
edit: you could also go from where you are now and manually bring your stuff over. Might be best option depending on how badly your original system was mucked up to cause you to do a wipe-install.

I have a big problem with Lion and PGP. After upgrading from snow leopard to lion I cannot access my PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start but gives a notion that lion cannot work with my PGP version. Solution?

After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion I cannot access a PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start. When I try to start I just receive a message that Lion cannot work with PGP. How can I now access important and confifential informatio which I have stored in PGP (snow leopard). Do I have to move back to snow leopard. If so, how can I do this?

If you have this product,

you have to go back to Snow Leopard.
To re-install SL, back up your home directory, format and re-install.

Problems with Vista and nano

Nano seem to hang up my startup menu. If I unplug the ipod windows boots. When I plug it in after booting it seems OK. Itunes will not allow me to dump music from the ipod to library keeps giving me a not authorized message even though I have gone through the process to authorize it. My old system died and I can't access it to make a download disc. Any ideas?

In your system's BIOS (usually accessed by pressing F2 in the first stages of startup), in the "Boot Order", make sure "USB" comes after "Hard Drive", otherwise, the system will look for an operating system on the iPod, not find it, and hang if you boot with the iPod connected. (Took me a while to figure this one out myself, works lovely now)

Big problems with Matrix and Screen Painter

Hi all !!!
I have a terrible time with my matrix in screen painter. I looked over all the samples in SDK and tried different things. The closest i got to make it work is when my form loads, i can click in each on my cells on the first row of the matrix but when i enter data if i click on another cell i lose the data. My form is fairly simple. I got 4 fields as regular data and a matrix with 8 columns. Can someone help me with this !!! Maybe one of you have an complete example for entering manually data in cells and then save it. I'm using a UDT (not UDO) table and using .net ...
Thanks in advance

Hi Alain
It's not necaserry to delete the matrix. Leave it there. Then access your matrix with the following code
Dim oMatrix As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix
Dim oColumn As SAPbouiCOM.Column
Dim oColumns As SAPbouiCOM.Columns
oMatrix = SBO_Application.Forms.Item("FormID").Items.Item("MatrixID").Specific
oColumns = oMatrix.Columns
oMatrix.Clear()
then create datasource and bind
oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("DataID", SAPbouiCOM.BoDataType.dt_SHORT_TEXT, 20)
oColumn = oColumns.Item("ColID")
oColumn.DataBind.SetBound(True, "", "DataID")
Hope this helps

Big problem with playing videos on Vista

I have a big problem with iTunes and Quick Time on Vista. I know other people in the german cmmunity who have it, too.
If ich want to play a video with iTunes or Quickt Time my PC starts wokring very heavy. Then the programm shut down. Sometimes there is a bluescreen, too.
In iTunes it is enough just to leftclick on a video an the programm is freezing without an error message.
I bought a new iPod classic some days ago. With this error i can't use it and 350 € would be thrown away.
I installed both prgramms again and again but that's no use.

Seems to be a hard drive issue. I sometimes get the blue screen of death or a message that one of my 2 raid0 hard drives is starting to fall down. If I restart the PC (3 seconds on the power button... since iTunes blocked everything) and declare the hard drive is OK using the Intel Matrix soft provided by Dell on their website, everything is back to normal (as long as I don't use iTunes). Problem only occurs with iTunes. I am currently doing a backup of my complete HDD to an external drive. I'll try moving my iTunes library to this drive and see if it works better from a non raid 0 drive. Will keep you informed. But an external drive is always VERY slow compared to an internal so it can only be a degraded mode solution to the problem. Apple please do something!!!

Problem with Java and Windows (Mainly Vista and UAC)

Hi all,
I am having a problem with a program that I've devoloped. The program itself is packaged as a jar and I plan to deploy it across multiple platforms eventually however right now i am only concerned about windows based systems. I have made an installer for a windows baised systems using NSIS to install the software files. I made the installer as I need several java packages to be installed so the program would work (JAI, J3D, JAI ImageIO) and I also require the program to have fileassociations on windows.
I know that this is not what java is about, however the majority of the users will be on windows baised systems so I've decided that OS specific installers is the best option.
During the process I have noticed that there are several key problem with java for this type of application!
The first issue that I have come across is getting file associations to work on java. As a .jar is not an excutable it is not possible to directly associate a filetype with it in java so to overcome this I currently run the program from a .bat files and also the program requires large memory so this also allows me to run the program with -xmx. The batch file that I use is :
<code>
cd PATH TO PROGRAM
start javaw -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Xmn100M -Xms500M -Xmx1000M -jar "PATH TO PROGRAM\program.jar" %1 -vram 134217728
pause;
</code>
Ok so all this appears to work fine and allows windows to have file associations and start the program and thats all works perfectly but this is a non-ideal solution. Has anyone got any advice on improving this?
The next problem that I have appears to be a problem with Vista and UAC (user access control). When a user installs the program and installs the program into the program files directory I found that the program did not work and kept saying that I did not have access to the files in the current directory. This is a problem as I read and write settings files during program execution.
On a Vista system UAC prevents file write operations into the Program Files directory unless the program has requested elevated status even if the user is a full administrator. The probem is that there appears to be no real way to achieve this under java that I'm aware of...
Has anyone else had this probem and has a suitable solution?
Any advice on these issues would realy be appricated.
Regards
Joey

Ok so i've kinda found a solution, its not ideal but its very good. I found this program called Elevate
A link to the site I got it was
http://www.wintellect.com/cs/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2007/03/27/elevate-a-process-at-the-command-line-in-vista.aspx
This program allows you start java with a UAC dialog for high access using
Elevate java -jar myjar.jar
This then allows you to have full access using java... I guess it could be dangerous but it does the job.

Problems with SharePoint2010 and Adobe Reader X

hi all,
i have a big problem with SharePoint2010 and Adobe Reader x. We can open .pdf Files from SharePoint but not Safe. The Error Message is "
SharePoint, SQL and OS are installed in English. The problem is that the site was probably created from a German template.

how can the problem be solved?it looks like here, the reader still an error..
andre

Hi,
Could you repost the error-message that you see in Adobe Reader? The problem might be because of a known bug in Microsoft SharePoint server 2010. Certain required field types are missing in the German/French site templates which cause a SOAP request on the server to fail. A workaround is to add these field types to the library. You could add these fields manually or using a script. You could look for following field types which might be missing from the site template.
