Close but no Ci

I have been reading all the threads regarding this issue with games locking up and getting a screeching sound.
I have just built an AMD 64bit system with an Asus SLI A8N SLI Deluxe Board. I had an Audigy IIzs card previously on my Asus A78N-X Board and it ran well.
But on this system I play one of my fab games Americas Army and after maybe an hour or so of play it will lock up and a screeching noise comes through the Headphones.
I have tried all relevant drivers, updated bios, checked the knowledge base for answers including reading all the threads on this and other forums regarding the issue.
I had installed KX drivers which didn't work too well as the sound was less than satisfactory.
Then today I noticed new drivers with openAL support and installed them, after uninstalling and cleaning my dri've of the KX drivers.
Worked fine for nearly 2 hours then the same thing occurred. I guess it's time to take the card out and just use the built in sound. I will call Creative support tommorrow and see what they suggest but i am starting to think that I will just put the card back in my other pc.

I have been through all the checks suggested on this forum.
Uninstalled Creative Sound drivers and MediaSource via Add/Remove Programs.
Cleaned out all drivers using Driver Cleaner pro.
Reinstalled the latest drivers Creative had on offer that had OpenAL support.
Still had the same problem.
Ran WinXP again and formatted the dri've reinstalled windows updated with all patches to WinXP SP2, Installed latest Motherboard, Video, Sound drivers. Same problem.
Checked latency with PCI Latency Tool 2, both sound and video cards on 32 latency.
I have tried all versions of drivers for the audigy IIzs Creative has including the latest beta drivers to no avail.
My System:
Asus A8N SLI Deluxe Motherboard (Latest Bios 03)
AMD 3800+ CPU @2.7Ghz (Have tried setting the cpu back to 2.4Ghz, but the same issue happened). Stock Heatsink and Fan
XFX Geforce 7800 GTX 256MB 450/300 (Tried no overclocking but the same problem happened)
x 52 DDR400 PC3200 Kingston Value Ram (Will be purchasing 2x matched pairs Cosair 52MB PC3200XL C2 sticks this week).
x 40gig Fujitsu 7200rpm IDE HDD Primary in Ultra DMA mode
x 200gig WD 7200rpm 7200 IDE HDD Secondary in Ultra DMA mode
x52-32-52 Samsung CD Burner Primary on Second IDE Port
x LG DVD Super Multi Burner Secondary on Second IDE Port
x Panasonic Floppy Dri've
Antec Truepower 2.0 550 EPS 2v
Creative Audigy IIzs Soundcard
Zalman 5. surround headphones w/mic
Zalman 5. Heaphone amp
Drivers
Motherboard: nForce 6.66
Graphics Card: Forceware 78.0 (Tried 78.03,77.77)
Soundblaster (Tried all versions including latest beta drivers)
DirectX 9.0c
PCI Latency Tool:
This showed 32 Latency for XFX Geforce 7800 GTX Graphics Card and the Audigy IIzs Sound Card.
Games i play that this problem happens in: Americas Army, Far Cry.
So at the moment I am using built in sound off the motherboard until i can spend the time to call Creative support.

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps are responding. Any ideas?

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas? If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,, Thanks!

For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
For other Disk repair remedies see
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.)

Often, Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted.

Hello,
Often, the Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted. This happens especially when many apps are running but even though there are plenty of memory resources available.
I have tried to find if something is using Firefox in the background, but have no way to know what that would be.
Their are no apparent viruses detected.
Firefox is version v5.0 and occurred in earlier release.
System is Windows 7 (64bit).

well, it's not the same hardware and it's a bit different.
I managed to pass that stage somehow but I still have a problem
I don't use the built-in creator tool that comes with Spyrus as it doesn't know how to append a pre-staged media that was created by SCCM that should apply the Windows file system to a second partition and the WinPE to the first partition.
I managed to do everything. my only problem is that the WTGCreator that comes with SCCM 2012 R2 creates the 350MB partition with FAT32 file system.
when I boot from the device I get the WinPE, I can choose a task sequence and then it fails when trying to apply the wim file. the error tells me that the 350MB partition is FAT32 which is not supported (even though it chooses the second partition, which
is all the rest of the disk space)
what I did was adding another task that converts the 32 Fat partition to an NTFS partition and then the process continues and finishes successfully! but that's a workaround.
I'm trying to make this process as smooth as possible without having additional steps

You can always shut it down manually via the Task Manager
(CtrlShiftEsc)...

Why won't Firefox 4 on Mac OSX 10.6.7 quit when QUIT is selected? The window closes, but the application remains open necessitating a forced-quit. Until recently it worked fine. I've reinstalled Firefox but the problem persists.

I cannot remove the dialog box from my ipad. It says 'not enough storage' I click on settings and close, but still there. I need help. thx

I cannot remove the dialog box from my ipad. it says 'not enough storage'. I click on settings and close but still there. How can i remove this message? Thnx

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Can only connect to Linksys E4200 when very close but PCs can connect at 50 feet. What's the solution?

Can only connect to Linksys E4200 when very close but PCs can connect at 50 feet. What's the solution?

If you're technically comfortable in getting to your Linksys settings - try changing the network mode or channel in your router's settings.
I still use my old Linksys router and when it's set to the default channel, which is 7, my Macbook Pro and Macbook Air sometimes have issues - changed the channel to 9 and have had no issues since.
Maybe it might work for you.
In any event - screenshots below are for your E4200 and play with those settings and see if any of the changes you've made improves how your Macbook connects. Before you change any settings, just remember what the old settings are in case you need to go back to your old settings.
Good luck.

Close Firefox, restart it says firefox can not start - already running, tried deleting the parent.lock it doesn't exist. I try to turn off my computer it says WidgiBho needs to close, I tell it to close but computer never shuts down

Did you try to wait a bit longer before restarting Firefox to give Firefox more time to close down completely?

Mobile site accordian closes but bottom tab is open when site reopens

the mobile site accordian closes but when reopened, the bottom tab is open.
because previously i had the "can overlap" checked but it was permanently pushing down items below,
i was advised to uncheck that feature. this solved that problem but i wonder if it is making the bottom tab come open each time the site is reopened.

i will double check it now but i am pretty sure i have had it closed when i uploaded.
will get back to you shortly.
thanks

My homepage will load about 30% and then i'm dead in the water. when i close firefox it appears to close but when i try to reopen it tells me that it's already running. started with beta 6 i deleated and loaded ver 5 no change

when i start firefox, everything starts normal then my homepage (igoogle) starts to load, gets to about 30% and stops. from there i can click on links or bookmark and a new tab will open but no page will load. i can't get anywhere. then when i close firefox it appears to close normally but when i try to reopen firefox i get a message that firefox is still running but not responding and the only way to shut it down is to reboot. when it first occured i was running beta 6 (since it became available, i also used beta 4 & beta 5) i then uninstalled beta 6 and downloaded and installed ver 5 same problem. i then did a system restore to a time before the problem.. no luck. i'm not sure what to try next. IE & chrome both work fine

I'm in exactly the same boat - dead at blue screen, only option is to salvage using target mode.
I don't currently have access to another Mac to do target mode. I was planning to buy a new Mac this fall anyway, though. 2 questions in preparation for that purchase:
1) Is there anything I can do before buying a new Mac to make the salvage process more successful? ie, should I spend the time and money going to the genius bar to have them help me get from totally crippled to partially crippled? (As for expertise, I'm a proficient consumer-grade user, but Apple Support walked me through the safe-boot process, etc.)
2) Is Apple going to provide 10.5 once it is released to people who buy a new Mac in these 6 weeks pre-release?
Thanks for your help,
Bailey

Browser will open once and open only one page. It closes but then won't open again. How do i fix it?

In the last 24 hours my browser will open only once and go to only one site i choose. after that , i can go to another site but links won't open or anything else. After i close the browser , so i can restart it, it tells me firefox is already open. Problem is it never shuts down in the background. I have to use the task manager to shut it off so i can open it again. Funny thing is that internet explorer, works fine but i don't want to use it. I even tried reinstalling firefox but it did not work. I had to post this on a different computer as well.

ITunes has encountered a problem and needs to close -BUT IT NEVER OPENS!!!!

Had to do a system restore and lost some applications. Reinstalled ITunes, but now everytime I try to open ITunes I get a message that says ITunes encountered a problem and needs to close. It never opens though! I have uninstalled and re-installed too many times to count. I opened the error message and this is what is being sent to Microsoft (c:/Dounme~\Owner\LOCALS~1|Temp\WER97.tmp.dir00\appcompat.txt) Does anyone know what this means and how I can fix it?????

I would go through a complete uninstall and reinstall once again. This time, follow go to kbase 93976 (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976). Look under the 'General Installation Troubleshooting' section, and start by going through the uninstall (including leftover files in Program Files and system32). After that, go through the section on using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, and remove all Apple software that shows up.
Hopefully that should get it working.

Firefox is frozen and will not close but I want to un-install it. HELP!

Firefox was open and an error message. Unresponsive script running, continue or stop script? All options were frozen I was not able and still not able to close firefox or any tabs from it, it has been frozen for two days. Is there an easy command line to just close the application?

You can close Firefox through the Terminal if it refuses to close through Firefox > Quit<br>
You can open the Terminal by searching for it on the Spotlight (top right corner, magifying glass)
Once open, you can run this command to kill the Firefox process:
*kill -9 $(ps -x | grep firefox)
I'm not a Mac user but that command works for me in Ubuntu.
To figure out what's causing the unresponsiveness, you can try to start Firefox in Safe Mode. To start Firefox in Safe Mode, just do the following:
*Clikc the Help menu on the menu bar and select Restart with Add-ons disabled.
*Click Start in Safe Mode to the dialogue box that comes up.
Safe Mode disables the following:
*Extensions
*Default theme is used
*userChrome.css and userContent.css files are ignored
*default toolbar is used
*Hardware acceleration is disabled.
