Driver enabled but not star

Hi,
It appears as though I need some help. I am runing Windows XP Pro SP2. My Soundblaster Li've 52 soundcard was working and now it is not. Looking at the Soundblaster in Control Panel/Sounds and Devices/Hardware/Driver/Properties/Audio Devices/Properties/Stauts: Driver is enabled but has not been started.
Does any one have any ideas on how to start this driver? I believe an anti-spyware program may have deleted a file, but I don't know which one. Sounds and Devices (Control Panel) states that the device is working properly.
I have reinstalled drivers to no avail.
Somebody out there, or someone at Creative should know the answer to this one.
Please help.
Thanks,
Sparrowhawk

Did you install any new hardware or software between the time the card worked and when it failed? If so, can you uninstall that and restore your system to the earlier state when the card worked?

Yes, I have and I get the same result.

Device is enabled but not star

I have looked everywhere for a solution to this problem and found one:
Symtom:
Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit Device shows up in device manager correctly (no
! on it)
Device is enabled and is working properly.
Clicking on properties shows that the device is enabled but not started.
Creative Diagnostics indicates that only hardware driver passes testing, all others (midi,wave, etc) failed.
Control Panel -> Sound/Audio devices shows no audio devices.
Problem:
Plug and Play Device Emulator not listed in system devices.
Solution:
Copy C:\WINDOWS\inf\machine.inf to C:\temp
Edit C:\temp\machine.inf so that you delete the line that says ExcludeFromSelect:*
Go to Control Panel and add hardware.
Click Yes it is already connected.
Add new system device
Choose driver to install from list
Click on Have disk.
Browse to C:\temp\machine.inf
Select System Devices/Plug and Play Enumerator.
System Specs:
Windows XP SP2
Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit
Pentium 5 .5GHz
Gb PC2700 RAM
What I tried before doing this that didn't work:
* removing sound card from motherboard completely,
* tried reseating in each of 5 different pci slots
* uninstalling all sound drivers and devices
* reinstalling all creative software
* cleansweep of windows
* uninstall from device manager and allow windows to detect
* ctzapxx.exe on cd from creative.
* confirm on-board sound card was disabled in BIOS
None of those things seemed to work. I'm not sure why the plug and play device enumerator has to be there or what it does, but when I reinstalled that device, my sound card was working perfectly again.
I only post this because I see many people having similar problems!

I had the exactly same problem with my new Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit card. (Device is enabled and is working properly, clicking on properties shows that the device is enabled but not started, Diagnostics indicates that only hardware driver passes testing, all others (midi,wave, etc) failed.)
This is a Perfect working solution!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
My "system" specs:
Windows XP SP2 (all updates available instaled)
Sound Blaster Li've 7. 24 bit BULK
CPU K6 II/400 MHz
RAM 256Mb PC33
Slots:
AGP (2x)
2 ISA
3 PCI 2.0!!!
Luckily for me, my problem was in the enumerator, not in my old PC.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN!

Back to my mac - iCloud enabled, but not working

Last year I made very regular use of Back to My Mac. Time and again I had no problems using my Mac Book Pro and connecting to my Mac Pro back home - did this from all over the place.
Then last month, my DSL router died and I had to upgrade.   The Netgear switch I had used stopped letting Back to My Mac work - turned out there was a glitch and I was one of the few who had a working unit, but not that it had tanked I could not get it back. All systems would get an error when trying to enable Back To My Mac instructing me to review my settings, enable UPnp, etc...
So now I have a new Netgear R6300 and my MiniMac, Mac Pro and Mac Book Pro all can have Back to My Mac checked without an error showing up. Can uncheck and re-check and the spinning wheel does it's thing and the box shows properly with no error.   Great - but apparently not really.   All these systems are in the same network, so of course they can see each other from within my network - no need for Back To My Mac at all.
But as soon as I try and connect from outside my network I can't.   The Netgear R6300 provides a guest wireless network (that can't see or share the home network), so I can grab another IP address and effectively be outside my home with the Mac Book Pro.   Again, no error when I look at iCloud - and I can uncheck and recheck the Back to My Mac box and the handshaking necessary seems to be fine - but I do not get my home systems appearing in the Finder Shared list as they once did.
The systems in my house can't see the Mac Book Pro either.
As I have a group of static IP addresses from Centurylink I can use a fireware adapter and directly connect a network cable to the M1000 DSL modem - and directly pull one of my other IP addresses for the Mac Book Pro and have it completely out from under the Netgear R6300.   But the situation is the same - the Mac Pro and Mini Mac both appear to be configuered for Back to My Mac (can check, un-check and recheck without an error), but they can't see the Mac Book Pro.   Likewise the Mac Book Pro appears properly set for Back To My Mac - but it can't see either the Mac Pro or the Mini Mac.
It makes no difference whether I enable the Centurylink M1000 DSL firewall or have it disabled.   UPnP is activated on the Netgear R6300, and if I turn it off I get an error when trying to set up Back to My Mac with any system funneling through the R6300 that the connection can't be made and I should check things like UPnP.    So when it is enabled there certainly seems to be at least some sort of semi proper handshaking going on.
For diagnostic purposes only, I have stretched a really long Cat 6 cable accross the room and plugged the Mac Pro directly into the M1000 DSL too - pulling yet another static IP from my assigned block. Now the Mac Book Pro and the Mac Pro can see each other via Back to My Mac - but neither can see the Mini Mac, and it of coruse can't see either of them.
I am not wedded to Netgear, but I have had lousy luck with Linksys and Asus - the Asus. The Mini Mac is a server (web and email) and Asus would not properly route mail to the Mini Mac and their Tech support was both difficult to reach and unable to explain why, just go try another.   The Linksis EA6500 was dead out of the box, and again Tech support suggested to just go get another one.   Asus was truly horrible to work with, but I would try another Linksis - but I have had flakey history with Belkin and Linksis which is why I went to Netgear.
So I know that the Centurylink M1000 does not appear to be the issue as devices connected directly to it can enjoy Back to My Mac.   I know that the Netgear R6300 appears to be working but clearly there must be something wrong somewhere.
I don't seem to be caught in a double NAT issue, and I don't have extreme firewall issues in play.   Much as I would like and intend to put stiffer rules in place, right now I just want to get thigns working.
Clearly I am missing something. Suggestions - even for a different router know to be working in a small but robust network with cable and wireless would be most welcome.   All three systems are running OS X 10.8.3 - the Mini Mac also running server. Both the Netgear R3600 and the Centurylink M1000 have the latest firmware.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Is the Extreme in bridge or router mode.. most people are finding it has to be in router mode to work although I don't think that is specific in the instructions..
You should not need to access the extreme to get into the Mac though.. do you have a hard disk on the AE you are trying to access??

[SOLVED] Toshiba 3.0 USB 2TB (HDTC720XK3C1) Assigned Drive Letter But Not Working

My external HD has 750gb of data that I cant access. It shows up with a hard drive letter, but doesnt show like it used to (showing how much storage is used and unused) or showing it's assigned name. It also doesnt work if I plug it into a different computer (does the same thing). I cant remember if I properly removed it when I unplugged it last night when I finished using it, so that may be the cause. I tried going to "manage drives" and uninstalling the drivers, but no luck. Tried rebooting with it connected, no luck. Tried unplugging for several hours and plugging back in, no luck. I do not wish to reformat the drive because of the 750GB of data I'll lose. Please help!

*****I FIXED IT!!!!!******* I continued searching the web and found the fix. All I needed to do was open the command prompt (cmd) and run this script "chkdsk /f E: (E: was the generic drive letter assigned). Basically windows runs check disk and fixes the problem. It also said you could try "chkdsk /r E:" but it worked on my first attempt. Make sure you allow the computer enough time to finish.... It took a long time for it to completely finish. (one way to know if it's done, you will be able to type in the cmd prompt again, if not, your computer is still working in the back ground) After it was done, I ran my windows defender to check my removable drive for virus's and sure enough it found 3 threats.
I HOPE THIS HELPS ANYONE ELSE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM as it seems like a relatively easy fix, but over 80 people had read my plee for help with no response.

FTTC enabled but not commercially viable?

What does it mean when BT say that a cabinet I am connected to is already FTTC enabled but is not commercially viable?
Thanks

I have an email from openreach when I asked why all my street can order Infinity and I can't (same exchange and cabinet). I was told the following: "
Thank you for your email. Apologises for the delay. Regarding the delay for STAINTON exchange cabinet 42.
I have gone through the escalation chain email as well however, apologies to say that though the cabinet in customer’s area is FTTC enabled still it is not commercially not viable. Once it will meet the criteria we will able to provide the FTTC line. we can then send the email chain to chase.
I have no idea what this means!!!??? When I call BT I am simply told "it is not available in your area"....when actually it is...just not for my number/house.
Can anyone translate the openreach email into simple layman terms please?

HT1800 how do I install a wireless printer to my iMac that doesn't have a cd drive. It comes with a cd but I can't use it. I have tried to download the driver online but not sure what to do now...

I have a Brother HL-2270DW that is wirless and it comes with an installation CD. But I don't have an external CD DRive for my imac. I have downloaded the driver online but I don't what to do from here. I suppose if I had the cd drive it would take me through it step by step but I can't.

You posted in the OS 10.3 (pre year 2000) forum instead of the OS 10.8 forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

TS2621 why may I send email when wi-fi is enabled, but not when it is disabled?

iphone 4s with verizon will send email via wi-fi but not 3G. Are there any ideas why?

Depends on the email account. If it is from your Internet provider they may only allow use of their SMTP server for sending emails when on their network. To send emails when not on their network (i.e. when using Cellular data) it would require using a different SMTP server.

OpenGL Enabled, but not working (Photoshop CS4)

I have having a weird problem with Photoshop CS4. First of all, let me give off the specs.
OS: Windows 7 64 bit
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7570 (Driver Version 8.960.11.1000, with latest Catalyst Control Center)
I use Photoshop CS4 for freelance work, and one of the tools I like to use is the Rotate tool. When I first got my desktop and installed Photoshop, everything worked fine. However, recently I was forced to perform and factory restore on my desktop thanks to a virus.
Today I started working on something and when I tried using the Rotate tool, it was not working (I go that error window saying it wasn't enabled). I checked the OpenGL settings to see it was enabled. Confused, I restarted Photoshop and tried again with no luck.
This turned into a search around the internet to see just what is going on, but the only thing I could find was suggesting updating drivers for my graphics card and Adobe, which I have tried with no success. I have found out that some people were having the same trouble as me, but what makes my case odd is that it was working fine before the factory restore.
Any help would be great.

Because of ATI's plethora of version information I'm not really sure what Catalyst release your 8.960.11.1000 driver comes from, but I do know that Catalyst 12.4 has some problems working with later versions of Photoshop. Perhaps Photoshop CS4 isn't too happy with it either.
The most recent Catalyst release that was known to be good with Photoshop was 12.2 (though it shows up as 12.3 in the status display). It can be found here:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/previous/Pages/radeonaiw_vista64.aspx
Downgrading drivers is a bit more tricky than upgrading them - you have to fully remove the current ones first, then install the older set.

Combo / Optical Drive detected but not reading CD & DVD

Hi everyone,
Firstly, I apologize if this topic has been covered but I've searched up and down and couldn't find it.
I'm running the following computer:
G4 MDD Dual 1.42Ghz, 1Gb RAM, OS 10.4
My computer has been dormant for about a month now and last night I fired it up with the following problem: _Grey screen with spinning 'loading' icon and it wouldn't get into the desktop_
I managed to successfully boot to the desktop after I did a combination of the following:
1. Reboot in Safe Mode (Shift)
2. Reset NVRAM (Opt + Cmd + O + F)
3. Reset PRAM (Opt + Cmd + P + R)
4. Removed all 3rd party cables
I haven't used the Combo/Optical Drive for about a month now and I decided that maybe I should re-install Tiger. When I inserted the Installer CD, the Combo Drive (1st slot) just ignored it. Initially, Superdrive (2nd slot) also ignores all discs I inserted. After countless restarts, I managed to get the Superdrive to read the G4 Hardware Test CD.
I've done the following:
1. Finder preference is set to not ignore inserted media
2. Tinkered with the Optical drive by unplugging and plugging it back
3. Everything else I could find on the internet regarding troubleshooting it
4. Made sure that the cables are connected properly inside the computer
5. Ran the Apple Hardware Test CD and everything is OK.
6. Checked with the System Profiler and it detects both Optical Drives (1st slot = Combo Drive, 2nd slot = Superdrive).
Now the problem is:
1. Combo Drive does not read any inserted disc (CD & DVD)
2. Superdrive reads but spits them out soon after
3. I can't re-install Tiger
Any advice / suggestions is very much appreciated.

Hi David,
My computer has been dormant for about a month
Have you checked the PRAM Battery, they can cause strange things & last 4+5 years...
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAA36VPRAM/
Combo Drive does not read any inserted disc (CD & DVD)
Opticals do go out, but 2 at once doesn't seem likely. What happens if you open Disk Utility then insert a Disc?
Have you tried a Cleaner CD in them?

USB/Firewire/DVD drives working but not showing up on my desktop after firmware update

I just updated my 15inch Macbook Pro (early 2011) to the latest firmware patch and now none of my external hard drives, flash drives, or DVDs are showing up on my desktop. I can still access all of the files from the side bar in a finder window (and play movies in DVD player, etc). This was not a problem before I updated my computer about an hour ago. I already tried restarting it and that did nothing. I went into disk utility and tried repairing the drives but it claims there is nothing wrong with them. In sum, everything is functioning properly, but nothing is showing up on my desktop.
Does anyone have any insight as to why this may be and/or any solutions to the problem?

In Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart.(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

USB Flash Drive Powered but Not Mounting

I have two USB flash drives that refuse to mount on my 13" MacBook Pro running 10.6.7.
The flash drive powers on, and blinks a bit.
The drive shows up in Disk Utility but the volumes are listed generically (like disk1s2) rather than having their proper volume name.
Clicking the mount button with a colume selected appears ineffective.
Trying to eject the drive results in:
The disk “Kingston DataTraveler 200 Media” could not be unmounted.
Ideas
Pulling the drive out without ejecting crashes Disk Utility. The Disk Utility Log doesn't say anything helpful.
I have two drives I've tried, opne the Kingston above which has two HFS+J volumes and another one formatted FAT32. Both drives work great on a different MacBook. I don't have other drives on hand to test at the moment.
I have MacFUSE and NTFS-3G and Parallels 6, installed, I haven't tried disabling them yet. Anyone else experiencing similar issues? Figured it out yet? Ideas?

Just so you don't think you're alone, I've been having the same problem, but with firewire devices. I'm searching around to see if there's a solution. I re-ran the 10.4.3 combo updater and it seemed to "fix" things for a while, but now the problem is back. I was in the middle of a copy from a FW CD-drive and it just disconnected. Then the iMac disconnected a hard drive attached to the other FW port. So it's happening on both ports, even when the computer is actively engaged in something.
I'm going to run the updater again. Then I might try downgrading to 10.4.2.

Systemd/user unit enabled but not auto-starting

Hi,
I enabled the systemd/user devmon unit but after login it shows

I'm not saying that I surely made no mistakes in configuring systemd, I'm a newbie after all, I just can't really tell which part exactly causes the problem here.

Strangely devmon.service does not appear in the log of the boot process at all. However, it says something about the user session at some point, if that helps:
