Do I have a tech support issue for all you guys...

     Hey all.  First time poster to the MSI boards.  About a month ago I bought a 2nd XFX GeForce 7950GT M570 Extreme Edition video card to go SLI with my gaming rig.  So one weekend I install SLI in my system.  I set the SLI switch card that came with my MSI mobo to SLI, plug the 2 cards in, fire up the system, log into Windows and...hey look.  My expansion PCI sound card is no longer recognized by the system (my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Gamer [which was my card about a month ago] is now not a Sound Blaster Audigy ZS 2 according to Windows it is now a "Multimedia Audio Controller" not a "PCI Multimedia Audio Controller" according to Windows) and Windows wants to reinstall the audio even though the driver is still clearly there in the system and recognized. 
     So I go to install the latest Audigy 2 driver for Windows and I get this error message: "Setup cannot detect a supported product within your system.  Please ensure you have properly installed the product and then run Setup again.  Setup will exit."  Since then I have also tried all the following troubleshooting remedies:
     - Tried installing the driver through pointing Windows directly to the .inf file for the sound card.  Result: Failed!  Error message reads as follows: "Windows cannot verify the hardware that goes with this driver.  If you continue you greatly risk causing extreme corruption within Windows and extreme instability within Windows.  Do you want to continue?  Yes or no?"
     - Tried moving the sound card to all 3 PCI slots on my motherboard.  Result: Failed!  Windows can't properly detect the sound card no matter PCI slot its in.
     - Bought a new audio card (a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer instead of the old Audigy 2 ZS Gamer) and put that in the system: Result: Failed!  Windows can't detect the new card properly either.
     - Flashed the BIOS on my motherboard to the newest version.  Result: Failed...to fix the problem!  Windows still couldn't detect the card.
     - Uninstalled motherboard and ForceWare drivers and tried to install the system going motherboard driver, audio driver, graphics driver.  Result: Failed!  Windows still wouldn't detect the card properly nor would let the driver operate.
     - Installed latest motherboard driver over the old one.  Result: Failed!  Windows still wouldn't detect it. 
     So after all this...does anybody here have any other ideas?  My specs are in my signature.  Thanks.  Out! 

Well, just changed out the Enermax PSU with a Thermaltake Toughpower 750W and...failed!  The system still will not detect the sound card properly to install it.  It's like I always believed though...that the PSU had nothing to do with this at all!  I knew it had nothing to do with this, but in the sense of full scale troubleshooting it was another step and even though it didn't lead anywhere it further singles out the problem which I have always believed to be a BIOS/motherboard/Windows problem.  In other words, this MSI board I have cannot do SLI and run an expansion sound card at the same time but can only do SLI under the onboard sound chip.  That's right.  I bet there's not one board member here using my motherboard, SLI and an expansion sound card at the same time in their system.  Again, to play it this is a motherboard design weakness.  And a reinstallation of Windows won't fix this either because of what I have described.  Guess I got to get another motherboard and try that cause as gamer law goes, "Never use onboard sound with a gaming rig otherwise its not a real gaming rig."  Out!

  • Does Adobe have a tech support contact for Flash on browsers?

    I am looking how to escalate to Adobe Tech Support but paying 29 bux an hour for some recruited college Grad that knows to little doesnt suit me.
    Bought an HP Quad and it had Win7 home so poorly installed, configured, overloaded with junk, would not backup, when it did backup and create a repair disk they wouldnt restore.  HP's preloaded Win7 build both IE8 and Firefox were crashing with both BSOD and Browsers not responding and dying. Firefox never responds to anything, Microsoft indicates is an add on problem but I think it can be a flash issue although it occurs much more on Wiin7 (ANY Version) for 32 or 64 bit.  I have been screwing with this for a month screaming at Microsoft and Mozilla but its a waste of time.  
    Microsoft forums are polluted for Win7 browser BSOD and Browser halting then crashing posts, there answer is disable add-ons.  I cant surf the net without add ons so that is a stupid reponse of finger pointing, giving appearance that Msoft, Adobe and Mozilla dont communicate.  No company will take ownership and drive the issue to find the root cause and where ever that cause is make them fix it, Msfot, Adobe of Firefox.   so what do ya do?
        The HP PC with horrible preload of win7 finally died and killed the build but Microsoft was equally useless in helping me repair that preloaded junk even though the OS is theres.    I BOUGHT real disks because HP couldnt support the mess - HP couldnt support chewing food let alone the mess they place on PC's with 90% asian parts with old drivers.   Eleven escaltions starting on DAY 1 of ownership of a Pavilion.  Hundreds of crash dump error reports sent to Firefox has still gone unresponsed, as they employ the 5th ammendment ,method of silence without support and Msoft remove all add on is laughable but proves HP. Firefox and MicroSoft wont assume responsibilty.  
    This sucks as all three gloat and boast about a HIGH levels of support and awards won for support but it is all myth, and laughably a lie but I still want it repaired.   28 years in IT - retired I feel qualififed to make the observation.
    I never attempted to contact Adobe but I get redirected after seeing the warning about 39 bucks an hour to answer a phone for a freeware add-on.
    Does anyone know of have a escalation path to a real person at adobe or department beause tthis site redirects from the ASK Adobe Support link meaning I cant even mail a question to then,  Already a BAD sign but the driver is free, but they wrote, and millions are having issue so where is there support -  Why bother writing  the addon if people cant even ask a question.
    So does any know if they support the flash add-on without charging?     a Glitch they might want to know about is flash 10.0.0.1 shows in Win7 Event logs as version 0.0.0.1 and I have logs showing that an addon report from the DEP (Data Execution Service) saw an add-on go to a non executalbe memory region whenthe only add-on I have is flash.
    Google for IE8 Browser Crash 566,500, Win7 Browser crash 1,500,000,  Firefox crashing 587,000, Firefox flash crash 1,420,000, Adobe flash crash 1,820,000,   are 4,615,500 google posts found for one issue and I know there are more than that failing but Im sick of the whole thing so adobe is my last gasp.   Please respond if you have a fix or path to escalate to adobe.
    Thanks.
    What a mess that no company so far stands up willing to take ownership of this just to find the root cause.

    I don't have a definitive answer, but I would guess you won't find a tech support service dedicated to the Flash Player since it is free software and customers apparently have problems getting tech support for the products they buy.  But here are a couple of things worth considering.
    Try posting/looking thru the Flash Player forum...

    Hi Sreenivas,
    I would recommend that you read the Rules of Engagement and other documents in the Getting Started link (top right) before posting anymore.  Your Discussion will most likely get reported as non-specific and get removed.  If you have a specific problem with TM, please post it in a new thread with error messages, version and SPs installed, and how the error occurs and what you are trying to get TM to do.
    There are a lot of resources available in the TM Overview page which can help, so start there and maybe also look at some of the MKS (Monday Knowledge Session) recordings which should also be listed.  There are also a lot of experienced people who can help resolve issues your TM installation, but you need to provide enough information on the problems you are having.  If you are just looking for information on past problems, do a Search or simply browse through past Discussions which are marked with a green Check (Correct Answer).

  • IS COMPUTER FIX, INC A 3rd party Independent Tech Support Provider FOR APPLE? THEY CHARGED AS 339.00 DOLLARS TO REMOTELY REPAIR OUR MACBOOK

    IS COMPUTER FIX, INC A 3rd party Independent Tech Support Provider FOR APPLE? THEY CHARGED AS 339.00 DOLLARS TO REMOTELY REPAIR OUR MACBOOK

    If you paid by credit card, contact the bank handling this payment
    and ask that it be stopped since the provider did not actually do
    anything to the computer and you are suspicious of their actions.
    If the billing was added to a phone account, contact the vendor of
    that service to dispute the charges against you; and cite concerns
    of security, identify theft, privacy and of being scammed.
    You may have to fill out forms, and see if the credit card bank will
    refund or not; usually they mail them to your billing address, after
    you call the bank customer service. Some are better at than others.
    This could take some months to resolve, if you paid that way.
    They may also have installed (or had you remove security) while
    inside your Mac and its system software, remotely. If they were
    able to 'scan' your Mac remotely, they may have harvested any
    personal or financial information, including passwords saved to
    online accounts that may have been in browsers or keychain.
    On another track, complete repaired Macs of an older vintage
    are not very expensive; even ones from companies who repair
    them or those who have stock of repaired units...
    While checking for a friend, online I found a few portables that
    had been repaired and for sale by a company whose business
    is to repair almost all portable Apple computers, in-house.
    You can buy an early model guaranteed MacBook from reputable
    repair companies with limited warranty for under $400. and that
    includes a bill-of-health with an option to buy a longer warranty
    for a little bit more. Or just mail in your computer in a flat-rate
    postal carton with padding, to one of the well-reputed repairers
    directly. They perform a physical/software hands-on diagnostic
    & repair service, tell you before they fix anything what it will cost,
    what the price variables are when they do hands-on testing; as
    that is a real repair. An example: wegenermedia.com online.
    The Apple support site has links to the better known AASP
    authorized Apple service providers, and you could look up
    the ones nearest your City & Country in the Locate section.
    Blue links below require additional info once in their Site to
    access the Authorized Apple Service Providers who have
    an actual physical presence, where they offer services..
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    Visit an Apple Retail Store
    Apple - Find Locations - Country Selector:
    https://locate.apple.com/country
    Contact Apple Support - Apple Support:
    http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    Some independent providers may be in a situation to do more or
    even less, than an Authorized service provider. Some may just
    repair computers -- and not officially be affiliated with Apple...
    Best to do the necessary research before committing to repair.
    In any event...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I now have a black Desktop Screen for all new users

    Can someone possibly help me to shed some light on a problem I seem to be having with my image?  Here is the scenario:
    I installed Windows 7 x64 SP1 with Office 2013 on a VM-Patched up to date as of the composition of this message.
    I created a "Student" account, all I did was launch office and IE-Nothing really out of the ordinary.
    I then renamed Default to Default.bak and copied the Student profile to Default.
    Joined to the domain.
    Restarted, and logged in and now I have a black desktop, no wall paper or anything.  It is set on Windows Basic, 
    I can go in and select any other theme and it the problem is fixed.  BUT, this will be an issue for all new users.

    Hi,
    What's your propose to modify the default account? To create a mandatory User Profile? If that it is, the method you used is not correct, you can refer to the contents of the link below for more details about how to create a mandatory user profile:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg241183(v=ws.10).aspx
    For your black desktop problem, it is because the default Profile doesn't define any wallpaper. To avoid this problem, you need to customize the default profile by yourself. You can refer to the link below for more details about how to customize the default

    I am locked out of my iphone. In resetting my passcode I must have hit a wrong digit, because the 4 digits I thought I used Don't work (and of course not my old passcode). I have tried the instructions both for "if you have previously synced your device with iTunes" and "If you have Never synced your device with iTunes" . Neither has worked and I'm in a vicious circle with each time after lengthy downloads it still all ends with the program, & my phone, asking for my passcode to proceed.  I'm not sure if I have ever synced to my mac book (i may have) but my address book seems to automatically update on both devices without the need to plug in. Thank you for any knowledgable help that could efficiently get me  out of this passcode ****!

    Hi DRussell,
    If you have not sync'd your device to your Mac then you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device. Read the information in this link and follow the instructions to recover the phone:

  • My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

    My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested.  How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
    As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

    Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
    I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
    What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
    Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
    Peace,
    P. Dreadie

    You can each have your own ID for your own iTunes accounts, but in order for a device to stream via AirPlay to the same Apple TV, everything must use the same homesharing ID. This is not the same as your iTunes account ID (although it can be for one of the devices)

  • When is it possible to have the same User Interface for all screensizes?

    Hi all, i am final year student doing some research about User Interface Fragmentation on Mobile devices. As we already know, there are a huge variety of mobile screen sizes, and usually to provide users the best experience interfaces, we often have to customize the UI of one application in one phone to another. So i wondered when it is OK to have the same UI for all screen sizes?
    Thanks.

    It's usually OK if you don't use CustomItem, avoid extra-long Strings in titles etc. You might also need to scale any Canvas / GameCanvas graphics and Images using a scaling factor computed from the detected screen size.
    I have 3 applications for free download from GetJar.com (search "Colorz") which have only the one version for all MIDP 2.0 devices, and there have been no complaints in a combined total of over 11,000 downloads ;-)
    In any case, UI diversity is the least of the headaches any j2me developer faces, there are many features of j2me that are unimplemented or incorrectly implemented on various devices. Even the CLDC reference implementation has unaddressed bugs.
    luck, db

  • Is LION OS working well for all you?

    Is LION OS working  well for all you? never thought it could be such a problem, it's the fisrt time it happens to me with an Apple product!. problems with safari, aperture, iphoto, opening/closing windows, right now is so close in performance to all windows versions than Apple high quality products at the level that all we have been expected with the release of Lion. Really dissappointed, and just hope that Apple tech suppor team solves this situation with a new sofware update.

    For most yes, For me definitely yes. I upgraded over SL, used it for a week  or more. Then updated my daughter's i5 MBP. that went well and she is happy. Then I updated my wife's MB Air. now THAT should tell you the confidence I have built in Lion. !!!

  • Verizon Ellipsis 7 Tablet and Verizon Tech support issues!!!! Save your money!!!

    Where to begin? I just want to thank Verizon for the $11 a month paperweight that they have me locked into a contract for. My wife and I had gotten a pair of these tablets for their Labor Day sale at the exact same time. I want to prefernce by saying that my wife's tablet works just fine with no issues. Me on the otherhand is a completely different story. After a month of use working just fine, starting in October, I had noticed that my tablet would work completely fine after powering up then after about 5 minutes the problems will start happening. The tablet cycles through full coverage, no coverage and coverage but with 2 bars. Which since then, I have done countless factory resets, changed out the sim card, sent it in twice and returned my tablet back to me and I am still having the same issues, and had 2 or 3 back office tech support tickets completed with no additional follow up from Verizon. The last time I sent the tablet in for them to look at it, I was very detailed as to everything that I had tried, including making sure the tablet software was the right version and everything. They still sent it back saying they found no issues. I couldnt tell you over the past 2 months since this issue has been coming up how many people in the technical support department I have talked with to troubleshoot. This company has horrible customer service!!!! Especially when I was told that the "Warehouse" where I was to send in my tablet to be looked at said they were to service the device for a turning on issue which wasn't the case at all. It really makes me wonder why they charge so much for their service. It isn't like they actually do anything when you have an issue. Just try to do more troubleshooting that doesn't work. They said they won't send me out a replacement tablet until I send the one I have in, I absolutely refuse to send it in because I have been told that twice and both times the "Wareshouse" sends me back the same tablet with a piece of paper saying they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I am so fed up with this company and their technical support department. I have previously heard how good Verizon customer service is, I will gladly hand them my tablet and tell them to deal with it and let me know if you want to stand by how good Verzion really is. After the headache that this has been over the last 2 months, I am ready to tell people don't bother going to Verizon, save your money and go elsewhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They won't stand by what they sell nor do the right thing. This is not a company I want to do business with!!!!

    $11 per month?? On More everything, Tablets are $10 each.
    Did you put insurance on it? You could do an insurace claim. That way you would get a new or different one.  I have haven't had any issues with mine, so I am sad to hear it is not working our for you.

    Hi Hassib
    Not sure what exactly you mean by "maximum number of sensors (application monitoring interfaces) does ASA  support"? there is no real limit on number of interfaces that can be monitored using the IPS module. All you need to ensure is you the right kind of traffic to the IPS so it does not get overwhlemed with a lot of traffic. This link should give the maximum thorughput supported:

    I need to call these guys but I can't find the number anywhere - suggestions?

    Try this number: 1-866-75-APPLE (1-866-752-7753).
    This is the number I called awhile back when I needed tech support for Logic 9. I happened to still be in my 90-day window so it was still free, but if you're out of that time period, you may have to pay something. I think they have two levels of phone support: a per-call charge, or a yearly fee that gives you unlimited support, or something like that.
