Bsod @ startup after installing Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS

System is a custom built 2005 XPS running XP WMC 2005 Service pack 3 installed
w/ all the lastest Win patches, WMC upgrades, and virus protection.
It used to work great. Wanted to clean it out tho, so did a fresh WinXP WMC install.
Installed st off the original SB Audigy 2 ZS disk that came w/ the system.
Computer has to reboot in order for install to take effect, fine....np.
BSOD at startup before XP can load.
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
STOP : 0x0000000A ( 0x00000000, 0x000000C, 0x0000000, 0x804EBF8)
Reboot with last known working configuration, works fine. Maybe its the older drivers
I add/remove programs - Remove all Creative progs, go to Creatives website and dl
latest drivers - 2.8.00.exe. I reboot freshly, XP loads fine, hardware manager finds
new hardware (my Audigy 2 ZS soundcard) and wants to install. I just cancel out the gump
and go to where I dled 2.8.00 and run the install. Program must delete previous driver
in order to install the new version and reboot.....fine....np. Computer reboots fine, install takes and BINGO !
Ive got sound. MP3s play, 5. surround works fine.
Problem : Everytime I reboot the computer after this, I get the same Bsod noted above at startup.
I reboot, hit F8 and pick Reboot with last known working config and its boots fine except......no sound.
Ive done this 4 times now to make sure its the Audigy drivers/software pack. I get sound fine after the
st reboot when its finishing the install. Everything works great. If I turn off the computer or reboot after
that, its the Bsod @ startup.
If I leave the sound gone, I can reboot w/o any problems. Systems works fine w/o sound installed.
If I want sound I have to install 2.8.00, let it reboot to finish the install and I've got sound. I just cant
turn off the computer or reboot again or its a Bsod. The way it is now if I want sound, everytime I turn
off/reboot, I have to F8, reboot using last known working config, delete all Creative, reboot again this
time normally (it willbecause theres no Creative installed and it already had one good reboot), install
Creative and wait for the reboot to finish install.
Having to reinstall Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS everytime I reboot is unacceptable.
Ive never had any problems with Creative before and own 3 computers, 2 of which use Creative products.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

; Thanks for all the advise and help ! Couldnt have done it without these forums !(sarcasm)
Problem fixed. Creative's crappy drivers were not deleting with their uninstall programs
and none of their newer driver install programs deleted their older crappy drivers.
Driver Sweeper downloaded, run in safety mode, and wiped all Creative's crappy drivers
from the computer. Reinstalled the newest driver package (the same one that wouldnt
delete their older crap drivers) and everything runs fine now.
Id recommend ANYONE use Driver Sweeper if they're trying to reinstall any of this company's
sound drivers since they can't get their new driver packages to delete older drivers.
Poor programming guys, really.

  • BSOD 0x0000007B after installing Ideapad s10e using RIS

    Im getting a BSOD 0x0000007B after installing Ideapad s10e (4187-5LG) using RIS. All files are copied to the harddrive just fine but when it boots to start up in windows to finish the installation i get the BSOD. It seems the RIS server is missing the drivers for the harddisk controller.
    In the download section for Ideapad s10e http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-71093 i can only find the Intel(R) Chipset Device Software XP which is said to have SATA storage support. After extracting the Chipset drivers i cant find any drivers i can use.
    Any suggestions on how to solve this.

    The preloaded Windows XP Home SP3 has the drivers needed for the ich-7 SATA controller on the Lenovo S10e: atapi.sys, pciide.sys and pciidex.sys - It is important to load the INF package during installation as it identifies the hardware correctly to Windows. The package has a readme file on how to perform an unattended install, and Intel has more downloads and information in case you are trying to install other than XP.

  • XFI Titanium high dpc latency after installing creative console launcher

    HXFI Titanium high dpc latency after installing creative console launcher=im using windows 7 64 bit sp(rtm) this also happens with normal windows 7 64 bit(without sp).
    when only installing the driver for the XFI titanium my dpc latency is between 0-50 with spikes that go to 90.
    this also happens when I don't have any drivers installed.(windows high definition default driver)
    however when I install the creative console launcher my dpc latency is allways above 00 and most of the time between 00-200 with spikes to +-400.
    im using PAX PCIe Titanium ALL OS Driver V3.25, and creative console launcher 2.6.49 beta.
    my question is can I use game mode without installing the console launcher?
    is there a version of the console launcher that doesn't cause higher dpc latency?

    Maybe a bad driver mod. Try Creative own drivers/CD first and see what happens.

  • Adobe CS6 Apps Shuts Down After Installing Creative Cloud.

    I can't start my Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign CS6 anymore, it just shuts down as soon as it's done loading, without any errors. Only Bridge CS6 will start.
    I tried launching with Ctrl+Alt and Ctrl+Alt+Shift but it did not work.
    Then I tried uninstalling it (With all the preferences as well), and install it again, that did nothing - still the same issue.
    I updated windows and my gfx drivers (GeForece 332.21 - NVS4200M) after the issue started.
    I tried both the 32bit and the 64bit version.
    I have manually removed the preferences file.
    I have disabled the firewall and my AV.
    I have logged out and back in of the Creative Suite Utility.
    My hosts file is not blocking any sites.
    I am running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.
    I tried to open a issue on superuser but that did not help, nobody has awnsered it yet.

    Nicoar do you receive any specific error messages?  I would recommend starting with the steps listed in Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html.

  • Lightroom 5.7 problem after installing Creative Cloud Photoshop 2014 Trial.

    My Lightroom was working fine earlier today. However I wanted to edit some photos from my new Fuji x100T in Photoshop. When I tried to go into my CC 5 Photoshop, it wouldn't load the photos because my Camera Raw Plug-In wasn't up to date and when I tried to update it, it wouldn't update it for CC5 past the version I already had which is 6.7. So I broke down and downloaded the Photoshop CC 2014 trial so I would have the most recent Camera Raw Plug In. After installing it, I tried to open Lightroom and got the message: "Configuration Error. Pleas uninstall and reinstall the product. If this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help and mention Error 5. I have never had to uninstall a Lightroom version to be able to install an upgrade and I am concerned about losing information (presets, ratings,Maybe photos) if I do. Not sure why I am getting this message for a program which was working perfectly up to the moment I installed the CC Photoshop Trial. Help! I have work I need to do in Lightroom (and Photoshop) tonight and it is a big problem that I can't use Lightroom.

    Hi Jeff,
    Thank you for your reply.
    No, I am not using Windows. I’m using Yosemite 10.10.2 on a MacBook Pro.
    I ended up trashing (There was no “Uninstall" option) my old Lightroom (which was 5.7), reinstalling Lightroom 5 and then upgrading it to 5.7. Now seem to be working alright.
    I uninstalled Creative Cloud 6 and went back to using CS5, using Lightroom to render the files, since I can’t use the latest Camera Raw versions with CS5, so I could work on them in Photoshop. Not an ideal solution. I wouldn’t mind upgrading to CC6 but not if it messes up everything else.
    Quite honestly, I don’t understand why an Adobe user should have to depend on other Adobe customers for answers about Adobe problems. Adobe should have a strong customer support group to handle these problems, particularly when they are caused by Adobe. I have been an Adobe customer for at least 10 years. I like the products but the customer support needs to be improved. Apple does a better job.

  • Slow startup after installing on my StorCenter ix2-200 CE the latest firmware version 3.2.10.30101

    Hi,
    After installing some weeks ago the new firmware version 3.2.10.30101, the startup of my device is taking consistently around 45-60 minutes to be full operative, accessing to its web interface or being mapped and available the different disk units that i have configured.
    What about the corresponding warranty that should have the new firmware? If it has being published and recommended by Lenovo, it should have the corresponding period of warranty.
    So:
    1.- Has the root cause been detected? Should we have a new firmware version solving it? Because it seems downgrade to previous firware version is not possible.
    2.- Could you confirm a possible workaround? Disconnect network cable and startup device till consisten white led...?
    3.- For an alternative solution, can it help to rewrite this firmware version? How is the procedure?
    4.- Does full factory reset help? If yes, i can look for making a backup, and try it.
    Waiting for your suggestion of next steps.
    Thanks for your support.
    Javi

    Hello jdehoyosr
    My answer is still the same.  You would not have been able to factory reset the unit and retain your data without backing up the data first.  I have already clearly explained that the backup and restore feature could have allowed you to backup your settings/configurations to be restored after the factory reset.  You would have still needed to restore your data from the backup after the factory reset regardless if you had used the configuration backup and restore option for your settings.  
    The configuration backup and restore would not have been able to the firmware glitch that you were experiencing.  If would have had a previous backup file, it would only have applied settings that you had previously backed up. Depending on which restore option was picked it could have also wiped your data.

  • BSOD 0x0A after installing vmware player

    After installing VMware player (newest version, VMware-player-3.0.1-227600) I get a blue screen on the following boot, it BSOD:s even with safe mode. On selecting the last known good configuration the error goes away.
    The error code is INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR (a0, IMAGE_NAME:  ntkrnlmp.exe, BUCKET_ID:  0xA0_nt!PopExceptionFilter+65). Haven't seen many 0x0a errors before, googling it reveals some posts related to power supply or hibernation, but nothing related to installing vmware. Since my PSU should be of a good brand, and since the error still happens in conjuction with wmware player, it is what I suspect (haven't been using this win xp installation in about 9 months, since have been running on beta windows 7, but I don't recall having these errors before).
    Obvious solution I can think of is to not install vmware player.

    It has nothing to do with the hardware. Mainly vmware's problem with your Win 7 beta.

  • Getting error messages upon startup after installing Lab View 5.1.1.

    I have recently purchased a DAQ system along with a computer, which uses a readout program written in Lab View. however, after installing Lab View 5.1.1 on this same system, I started getting some error messages and the readout program no longer works. Here are the error messages:
    "The \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\nidmmk.dll device driver could not locate the entry point ?single PointWrite@mdsSimpleDIGPortPrimitive@@UAEXKKKAAJ@Z in driver Nidaq32K.sys"
    as well as
    "The ordinal 2011 could not be located in the dynamic link library nidaq32.dll. An error occurred while loading VT Digital buffer write.vi"
    I would greatly appreciate any help I can get.

    Hello,
    Installing LabVIEW should not effect an installation of NI-DAQ. However, it seems to me that we may have installed a different version of NI-DAQ on top of the current version. This is very possible because the old LabVIEW CD�s contain NI-DAQ on them.
    In this case, there is not an easy solution, we could try uninstalling and reinstalling combinations, but it will probably save the most time and effort to uninstall all National Instruments products and reinstall them. The best way to do so is from the ADD or REMOVE Programs utility from the Control Panel. Then we want to remove the following registry keys (BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY!!)
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\National Instruments <-- Delete the entire tree!
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\National Instruments <-- Delete the entire tree!
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\ or \ISA and delete registry entries containing any keys with 1093 in them.
    Do not worry if any of these trees are not listed. If you have Administrative rights, and you still cannot delete these keys, that is also OK. Continue with the remainder of the process.
    Make sure that you do not have any of your own VIs or other files saved in the "C:\VXIpnp", "C:\Program Files\National Instruments", or "C:\WINDOWS\nidaq" folders. If you do, copy them to a different location. If you are concerned about keeping old virtual channels and your SCXI setup intact, then backup the "C:\WINDOWS\niconfig.daq" file, too. Delete all folders and files mentioned above.
    Note: If you have Windows NT/2000, replace "C:\Windows" with "C:\WINNT" in the paths listed above.
    Once these steps are taken care of, we should have clean system. You probably want to reboot and then reinstall the software. You should install development environments first, and then install drivers.
    Just let us know if this does not take care of the problem, or if you have any questions on how to complete a step of the process.
    Best regards,
    Justin T.

    NOTE: Turning off virus scan programs greatly increases the speed of uninstalling and reinstalling.

  • Black screen on startup after installing security updates KB293357 and KB2937610 on Win 7 64bit

    After installing security updates KB293357 and KB2937610 (both related to .NET) on Win 7 Enterprise 64 bit, my computer fails to start up correctly:
    - start up and windows boot screen
    - then black screen and computer freezes
    The only option to this problem I found so far is do a cold reboot and then let system repair uninstall the updates. Is there a better way to solve this problem?
    System:
    Asus UL80VT laptop
    NVIDIA GeForce G210M (driver version 9.18.13.2702)
    Win 7 Enterprise, fully updated

    Hi,
    After you unstall the two updates, does the black screen issue completely disappear? We should first figure out whether the two updates are the culprits.
    Since the two updates are related with .net as you mentioned, then here's a .NET Framework Repair Tool released by Microsoft, I suggest you try it and check if it cna detect something.

  • Blue Screen constantly after installing Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Noteb

    I don't knwo what to do, my computer is now completely non-functional, I am on my wifes laptop so that I can write this
    I installed the Audigy 2ZS Notebook on my laptop and I went to reboot, after the reboot I get the blue screen every time after about 30 seconds, always.
    i am now down a laptop and I can't reach CL tech support because they are "closed"
    can anyone help me?
    The blue screen is always "a process or thread crucial to the system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated"
    I have a emachines M530
    AMD .8ghz mobile
    52mb ramATI Radeon IGP320M
    AC97 On board audio
    I am in safe mode right now trying to do some things to fix it, but nothing is workiing. I eveni deleted ALL sound drivers out of the system, that didn't work
    I also tried downloading the latest install from Creative Labs and installing it, that didn't work either
    I am have seen other forum posts about upgrading bios and all that, but I really don't have much desire to go into all that, fact is this software shoudl work and not mess up people computers

    Well, in all honesty, I don't see how you can come on here telling me to use the email support when that is just what I did, and have YET to recieve an answer back.... I came on here expecting some sort of a response, from users or tech support, and I didn't get either, while at the same time I submitted a support ticket through the email support system, I didn't get a response there either. So, you "scolding" me for using this forum and getting frustrated is like slapping the thirsty african child for trying to drink from the ri'ver while the locked off water fountain is right next to him. I was venting my frustration from the lack of response through email on here so that other can maybe think twice before buying a creative product if they expect prompt support for their purchases.
    I am not having the issue again, I used the downloaded updated drivers from the creative site. All is well, and while I dread if any issues actually do happen to come up again, it seems to be working fine.
    btw, once again, let me state, that it is going on 2 days now and someone has yet to email me back from tech support. I am glad I was all right with formatting, I can't imagine what some of your other customers would do if they installed your software and their computer crashed.

  • Lightroom CC6 on Mac quits on startup after install

    Lightroom CC6 quits just after startup when first installed. And Lightroom 5 has disappeared. What should I do?
    Thanks.
    I found the answer on the LightRoom Queen forum. Just sigh out of Creative Cloud, then sign back in again. The details are here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html?PID= 7221644

    I downloaded Lightroom 5 from Adobe, and tried to use the Upgrade serial number - but to no avail.
    Can you elaborate? What exactly happens when you enter the LR5 upgrade serial number?
    LR5 should simply ask for your LR4 serial number and the install should complete OK.

  • Wi-Fi disabled on startup after installing 10.7.3

    I have a late 2008 Aluminium Unibody MacBook (5,1) and installed 10.7.3 via software update without problems.
    But when I turned the machine on next morning, Wi-Fi was disabled and could not be activated via the menu bar control or network pref pane. After a couple of reboots--two, if I remember correctly--the MacBook booted up with Wi-Fi active and connected (I use a Fritz!Box 7390 WLAN router with both 2,4 and 5 GHz networks, connecting via 5 GHz by default).
    I did then repair disk permissions and re-applied the Combo update. No cure, obviously.
    Same again this morning - no Wi-Fi on startup first, connection just after a couple of reboots.
    Wi-Fi hardware (Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 , firmware 5.100.98.75.19) always shows up in the system profile, it's just that it's disabled first.
    No idea what's causing this issue - no problems on my side with reconnecting after wake from sleep, BTW. I never experienced any Wi-Fi issues until 10.7.2, so 10.7.3 has to be the culprit here.

    welcome to the club, man!
    No wifi after 10.7.3 on MBP late 2008 & MB white middle 2010
    The only way I've made wifi working - cmd-R and recover from time machine to 10.7.2
