Cant read installation CD - Cant find microph

I just got my new x-fi extremegamer card and right away had problems. I have en PC with Windows Vista Business edition on it.:The PC could not read the CD properly. When i inserted the CD it prompted me as if it was a blank writeable CD wanting me to label and prepare it for burning which i ofcourse aborted. No matter what i did i could not get it to read the CD. I suppose there is software onthe CD i dont get by simply downloading the vista drivers, right?2:Then?I went to creatives homepage, found the vista driverpack downloaded and installed it. Now it works. However, I can only get the soundcard to "turn on" my microphonr in the headset when i set the card to "Audio Creation Mode". This is not cool since i want to use my headset to talk to my friends over ventrilo or teamspeak while?we play games together. I want to be able to do this too when i set the card to "Game Mode". I cant figure out how to do this. Can anyone help me out here?

Hi Kirk,
I suspect that your optical drive has a hardware problem. The calibration error indicates that the laser is no longer able to accurately read the CD or DVD.
You could try cleaning the lens with a suitable cleaning disc, and if this does not improve the situation you could try to remove the optical drive in Device Manager, and then re-install it.
regards,

  • My macpro cant find installation information on this machine. help

    i am trying to reinstall the Lion but i constantly receivin this "Cant Find installation information on this machine" i need help here.

    You need to provide more information on what you are doing. Otherwise, this is how:
    Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • GB3 BUG or 10.4.4 BUG  or BOTH Bugged! cant find Audio Files (APPLE READ)

    my set ups; G5 QUAD 4GB OS X.4.4 GB 3.0 same exact GB song
    G5 2.5DP 2.5GB RAM OS x.3.9 GB 2.02 same song
    when i load some GB2 songs done on OS 10.3.9 into new up to date set up the QUAD with GB 3.0 and 10.4.4 i get this message while the song is loading alot ( one example )
    EXS 24 instrument "Funk HOrn Section.exs"
    Audio file "Brass fall Sh 2 C#.AIF" not found, yet it is there in the sampler files of the Gb 3 folder as well as in the Gb 2 folder on both computers. These are software instruments that when clicked on ( in track ) are silent. double click and they open up in the new GB3 track info window and are silent. apparently for some reason in
    Gb3 or in 10.4.4 they are not being read. this is happening more than once!!!!!!!!!! will tell APPLE

    Yes I have the same issue and have had it occur whenever I upgrade and clone my hardrive. Everything else works but random loops are 'lost' from existing songs even when the track is saved as an archive. I am using GB 2 and OS 10.3.9
    I've noted it occurs with
    1) loops that I edit and use just a portion of
    2) loops with filenames longer than 32 characters
    I've also noted that while 32+ character named loops appear correctly in the loop browser they do not appear with the full name when dragged into a track. There they appear in the trunicated garbaged ending. Note that this is EXACTLY what long file names look like when viewd in OS 9 which has a 32 character limit. So what does that mean?
    I'm just sick of every time I upgrade a hardrive and clone the drive having to check each and every song and then manually tinker with those who suddenly cant find the loops within them. Everything else works so what is breaking in GB?

    Hi Rodney from Canada,
    Thank You for posting on the forums. You can look in your downloads folder Additionally, Adobe Reader is downloaded and installed through download manager which doesn't require manual interference.
    Also, you can press OPTION+COMMAND+L to see the download
    Thanks,

  • Cant find installation file

    Was in the middle of installing adobe master collection and it froze. I restarted my machine but cant find the install file. I was using the assistant manager does this mean i need to download the whole thing again or is in in a cache memory folder? Some of the applications have installed and some are have not. What is the best way to clean this up?
    Do I delete all the files and start again?
    Is there a cache folder with a file i can click to continue the download?

    No - the Download Assistant usually mounts the disc image - I don't recall actually seeing the desktop icon when I installed CS6 Design & Web Premium (may have been there).
    The strange thing about this is that the download has to occur before the DA starts installing - and it's usually always placed in the Downloads folder unless the user has specified a different folder for downloads via the browser prefs... could that be the case?
    OP - download EasyFind and search for .dmg - look for the 'kind' dmg. See if you can find the Master Collection dmg image this way (I had about 50 hits, but only about 35 were actually dmg disk images).
    Good luck - I don't envy you having to download it again - maybe this way you can find it...

  • I have problem with my wifi in 4 S, i cant connect to any wifi itried resetting network setting and reset all setting but the result was the same, its only keeps searching for wifi and cant find any, itried to use OTHER but also didnt work.please help me

    If Join was on then your home wi-fi must be set to Non-Broadcast.  If you did not set this up (maybe your provider did) then you will need to find the Network Name they used, and any password they used.  The SSID is Security Set ID and to see more try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID .  Basically it is the name used to identify your router/network.  A lot of times the installer will leave it set as LinkSys, or Broadcom or whatever the manufacturer set it as for default.  Your best bet is to get whoever installed it to walk you through how they set it up, giving you id's and passwords so you can get in.  HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with this (if you set security wrong, etc.) you would be well ahead of the game to hire a local computer tech (networking) to get this working for you.  You can also contact the vendor of your router and get help (if it is still in warranty), or at least get copies of the manuals as pdf files.  Sorry I can't give you more help, I hope this gives you an idea where to go from here to find more.

  • Love Acrobat XI, but when I installed it became the default program to open all my photos.  I'd like them to open in theirr native (JPEG, etc. format) How do I disable the PDF default conversion ? Cant' find anything in Preferences that works.

    Sounds like a file association issue in Windows. Right click on the files of interest and select Open With>Choose Default Program and select the program you want used (be sure the "always use" box is checked. The Acrobat installation should not have done this change, but this is the process to make the change on each file type.

  • Cant find 10.2.0.3 patchset for oracle client

    Hi folks,
    i have an installation manual for some program called business flex, it says that after installing 10.2.0.1 client for windows (2003 server); i have to upgrade to 10.2.0.3
    but i cant find the patchset.. client 10.2.0.3 seems to be available for only vista and server 2008.
    some guys [here |http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-db-l/10g-client-10203-patchset-1588346]
    "Same as the dB server. And it's huge 852M
    5337014..."
    but this one is not available for windows 2003! i cant find a way to upgrade client 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3 please help.

    The Client on Windows and the Server on Windows use the same patchset.
    The OUI only patches what you actually have installed.

  • I am trying to down load I tunes on my computer and it keeps telling me it cant find the apple aplication suport

    I cant get I tunes to down load on to my computer it keeps telling me it cant find the APPLE APPLICACATION SUPORT?????

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version). If the following link takes you to the WinRAR home page rather than the WinRAR downloads page, click the Downloads header in the box at the left of the WinRAR home page to see the trial version downloads:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
