Driver help neede

I bought a comp from alienware a few months back and it came with a Audigy 2 ZS pre-installed. I want to update my drivers but I don't have li've update and I've heard that the drivers on this site won't work due to the fact that it came pre-installed.
Can anyone tell me if I can use the drivers on this site, and how to uninstall the old ones and install the new ones? Or, if I can't use the ones on this site, where to get new ones that will work. Thanks VERY much for any help.Message Edited by MPEG on 07-5-2005 02:7 PM

Is the card a retail version, if it is not you cannot update from this site. If its a Dell PC its not a retail version.

  • JDBC Driver (HELP NEEDED URGENTLY)

    Hi, I'm a student who has a project to be done on java.
    I would like to use access or some other db tt is plafform independence.
    However, I do not know of such a dbms system. Can someone help me by telling me with access can be used on other plafform or there is a better dbms out there?
    Also , is there any way the client can just do installation without using jdbc to odbc bridge as the installion of the application should be easy and do not require the client to do install addition stuff or trouble themselve over the installtion of the software. Your help is greatly needed Thank you.

    I assume you meant "db that is platform independent."
    Try http://postgresql.org or http://mysql.org. Both
    are free, open source and well supported. And nearly
    anything is 'better' than Access. Not sure about the
    second part of your query.Message:
    Thanks for the tip man. The second problem i have is that i m trying to create a program that run on stand alone PC . It must be able to access a database. However, using the odbc bridge means that it is not plafform indepence while is one of the aim i have for the program. Is it possible to find a driver that dont need to the odbc and can run on standalone PC without a server between there?
    thanks you for all your help!!!

  • Driver Help Needed

    Hey guys, I did a lot of reading and tried many things before actually seeking for help. Long story short I re-installed Windows XP Home edition on an old computer of mine, now that I have reformatted, I have windows XP home edition installed but I can't get any drivers that I need because I'm unable to get on the internet. The reason being is that I don't have the driver for my Network Adapter.
    What I have is:
    MSI N1996
    Model name: MS 7125 ver 1
    Model Number: K8N Neo 4
    I have searched and searched and I found a lot of people also had this problem but I can't find my resolution. I am guessing that it is the driver that I need.
    Internet was working fine prior to formatting, I have checked My Computer-Properties- Device Manager... and what has the yellow "?" are:
    -Multimedia Controller
    -Multimedia Controller
    -Other PCI Bridge Device
    -PCI Memory Controller
    -SM Bus Controller
    -Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
    My ethernet chord lights up once plugged into the computer but that's it.
    If anyone knows of where I could find a driver for it that would be greatly appreciated. If you need any more info I can try to find it out, I'm on a laptop on my wireless now.

    Model name: MS 7125 ver 1
    Model Number: K8N Neo 4
    Which K8N Neo4 board exactly do you have?
    The Neo4 Platinum v1 board has two network ports, one controlled by an additional Marvell LAN chipset.
    Do you have one, or two LAN ports? If two, plug the ethernet cable into the other port.

  • HELP I am missing 340 gig's!! "hard drive help needed"

    ok so i had a 160gig hardrive in my macbook pro. i bought a new 500gig for it. i used Drive Genius 2 to copy the old hard drive to the new one. when i installed the new one everything works great except it only see's the 160 gig not 500? so my question is how can i make my computer recognize the whole hard drive?
    thanks for any and all help!!

    Start over by first prepping your new drive as follows:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from theUtilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Connect your old drive that you have installed in an external enclosure and boot from it by restarting the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION button until the boot manager screen appears. Select the icon for the external drive and click on the downward pointing arrow button. Now clone back to your new drive:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
    4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the internal drive.
    Source means the external startup drive.

  • Transferring iTunes Library to an external hard drive - help needed

    I recently moved my iTunes library (aka all of my 32 GB of music) onto an external hard drive so as to save space on my laptop, but I messed up somehow and now I can't add songs to my iPhone. The chain of events went something like this:
    1. I copied my iTunes library onto my external hard drive.
    2. I changed my iTunes library location (in the itunes settings) to it's new spot on the external.
    3. I deleted the songs off my laptop.
    This worked fine at first, but then I think I opened iTunes with my external NOT connected and I got a blank library. I plugged in my external but my itunes was still blank. Then I decided I'll just add everything back to my itunes library. I did that, but I lost all my playlists and whatnot, but I didn't really care - all my music was there.
    Now I just tried to add new music to my iPhone and it won't let me. When I try to turn manual music management it gives me an error saying "this iPhone is synced with another itunes library".
    Is there some way I can retrieve my original itunes library from before I did all this stuff? Help much appreciated.

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to choose a library, then select the copied iTunes folder.
    If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • Installing Logic on a PT drive - help needed

    My first post here, hello everyone.
    I am having problems getting Logic 7.1 to work on my G5 Dual 2Ghz. I have Pro Tools HD TDM 7.1cs4 working OK, and wanted to test Logic out (with CoreAudio, not with TDM). Basically when I load Logic, it scans Audio Units slowly (but with several; "the application auval unexpectedly quit after it reopened" messages to which I press "Reopen"), then opens with the usual splash screen, then a dialogue box comes up saying "No Memory for Instrument". Pressing "Abort" brings up this screen many times before Logic opens, but only shows an automation tracklist which cannot be recorded to.
    I have Logic 6.4.3 installed in the apps folder (wondering if this is a problem) but this does not open (as I think it won't work on 10.4), But when I installed Logic 7.0 from the DVD, it did not erase Logic 6. Sorry, this is may be pretty basic stuff but I'm not that familiar with Logic's quirks as I haven't used it on a G5 at all.
    From reading other posts I sort of gather that Logic 7.1 and PT 7.1 can co-exist on the same G5 partition so long as they are not used together.
    I should also explain that Logic 7.0 doesn't seem to want to even load; so I dragged a copy of 7.1.1 which I've used on my laptop, onto my G5 drive - maybe this is the wrong approach...!
    Any help appreciated, thanks.
    G5 Dual 2Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Hopefully you installed PT first. Part of the problem may be 7.2 (Logic). That is the version for your PT version-though how much of an effect that has on digi as CA is greyer. Try first running Logic as CA using built in audio-after that you shouldn't have to continue with AUVal. If you then get past AUVal try configuring the digihw as CA and then enabling it in Logic. IF it is 7.2 dependant (which with CA it shouldn't be under normal circumstances) that's the answer. But more likely narrowing it down and eliminating suspects is the way to go. You can also try CA digihw with other audio apps and see if you have any similar problems.

  • I'VE STARTED AFRESH ON MY C DRIVE - HELP NEEDED WITH ARTWORK ETC

    I deleted the itunes from my external hard drive and am now downloading it from this site to my computers c drive, all of my 13,000 songs are on my harddrive and all of the albums artwork are in a folder on the c drive - not sure how.

  • Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verif

    Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

    Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
    Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

    Ok so I have a free standing iSight Cam, is it possible to use it with my white MacBook ? and if so how do I go about it ? I've tried researching for updates, drives but need help. Can someone give me some direction ?

    jpatricio787 wrote: ... is it possible to use it with my white MacBook ?...
    OK so yes, but if, and only if:
    (1) your MacBook has a Firewire port (not all do)
        - and -
    (2) your old external iSight camera works (not all do)
        - and -
    (3) your MacBook is working properly.
    If you are not certain whether your MacBook model has Firewire, you can search MacBook Technical Specifications for your model.  Alternatively, check the  User Guide Manual that came with your MacBook for the information you need to be certain.
    If you are not certain that your old external iSight camera works, you can test it using the suggestions in this link.
    jpatricio787 wrote: ... if so how do I go about it ? ...
    Follow the instructions in your iSight User's Guide to connect and turn on the iSight.  Then launch the Apple app you want to use with your iSight.  If you need more information about using an app, search for "camera" (without the quote marks) in the Help menu choice for the app.
    jpatricio787 wrote:... Can someone give me some direction ?
    If you need more direction, post back the specifics of what you still need.  We will offer further direction based on the details of your reply.

  • I had to replace my hard drive. Need to re-install office and pages and cannot find the cds. Any help will be appreciated

    I had to replace my hard drive. Need to re-install office and pages and cannot find the cds. Any help will be appreciated

    Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html
    Or you can purchase the applications from an Apple retail outlet, App Store or the Apple online store.

    Thanks!

    Either of these should help.
    http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/
    http://www.whatsizemac.com/
    Or search 'disk size' in the App Store.
    Be carefull with what you delete & have a backup BEFORE you start, you may also want to reboot to try to free any memory that may have been written to disk.

  • Help needed! Raid degraded again!

    Hi!
    Help needed! I hava made bootable RAID with two S-ATAII 250Gb HDD and its not working! Every now and then at bootup I get a message RAID -> DEGRADED... Must be seventh time! Rebuild takes its own time!
    What am I doing wrong!
    T: Ekku
    K8N Neo4 Ultra
    AMD 64 4200+
    2 Gb RAM
    2 x 250 Gb HDD (Maxtor)
    nVidia RAID (in mb)
    P.S. I wery SORRY with my poor language!

    I'm going to blame the nVRAID because I've seen issues with it in the past. If your motherboard has another non-nVidia RAID solution, use that instead. Using the nVidia SATA ports as BASE or JBOD is fine and dandy but RAIDing always had issues. It's not even a driver issue I think it's just instability. Latest drivers and even boxed drivers never helped. Granted, some will report success with their rig. But on a professional level I've seen nForce issues on different motherboards and different hard drives that had RAID disaster stories.
    Good luck and if you don't have another RAID solution, my suggestion would be to buy a dedicated RAID controller card.

  • Help needed with itunes

    help needed with itunes please tryed to move my itunes libary to my external hard drive itunes move ok and runs fin but i have none of my music or apps or anything all my stuff is in the itunes folder on my external hard drive but there is nothing on ituns how do i get it back help,please

    (Make sure the Music (top left) library is selected before beginning this.)
    If you have bad song links in your library, hilite them and hit the delete button. Then locate the folder(s) where your music is located and drag and drop into the large library window in iTunes ( where your tracks show up). This will force the tunes into iTunes. Before you start, check your preferences in iTunes specifically under the"Advanced" tab, general settings. I prefer that the 1st 2 boxes are unchecked. (Keep iTunes Music folder organized & Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library). They are designed to let iTunes manage your library. I prefer to manage it myself. Suit yourself. If there is a way for iTunes to restore broken links other than locating one song at a time I haven't found it yet. (I wish Apple would fix this, as I have used that feature in other apps.) This is the way I do it and I have approx. 25,000 songs and podcasts and videos at present. Hope this helps.

    {color:#0000ff}</Context>{color}As usual when running application in local Tomcat server of Eclipse, this data source works fine. But when I run the application on Tomcat, by starting Sysdeo plugin from Eclipse, the DBTest.xml file created in C:\Tomcat 6.0\conf\Catalina\localhost has the context entry as<Context path="/DBTest" reloadable="true" docBase="E:\Deepa\workspace\DBTest\WebContent" workDir="E:\Deepa\workspace\DBTest\work">

  • Help Needed Configuring Post Set Up For Big Indie Feature:

    We’ve got incredible performances from an amazing cast of well-known character actors from film, TV and stage, a unique and inspiring script, and some truly beautiful, cinematic footage. And now — it’s all about putting it together…
    But I’m having trouble finding an accurate, effective and (most importantly) a DETAILED workflow accommodating the latest version of Premiere, to post a LENGHTY feature film shot on the RED Epic in 5k FF.  I’ve reviewed videos here, but in conducting edit tests, I'm encountering all manner of glitches and problems, and need to ensure that I am properly configuring our post workflow and all of the associated hardware.
    I’ll be dividing the film into project file “reels” to help keep things manageable.  As editor and DP, it's also most important for me to edit on a 4k timeline (to take advantage of reframing and stabilization of the 5k). Footage is on three Pegasus II RAIDS.
    There will be a LOT of FX work done outside of Premiere in AE (and other compositing and graphics programs).  I’m planning to finish in Resolve, outputting at 4k.
    I have the new Mac Pro with:
    - 2.7GHz 12-core Intel Xeon E5 with 30MB of L3 cache
    - 64GB (4x16GB) of 1866MHz DDR3 ECC - 4X16GB
    - 1TB PCIe-based flash storage
    - Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPUs with 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM each
    A Sonnet Echo Express III Desktop 3-Slot (with Thunderbolt upgrade) housing the following:
    - Red Rocket
    - Connection card for HP LTO5 Ultrium 3000 Sas Ext Tape Drive
    If needed, I’m open to acquiring other cards or hardware, too (possibly adding the Red Rocket-X to the mix).  And if the referral of a PAID individual with firsthand knowledge of such a setup – to at least help with the initial set up and configuration – is what I need, I’m open to that, as well.
    We truly have an amazingly powerful compilation of principal photography, and a great story to tell — I just need to overcome this major hurdle of setting up our post.  As a somewhat newbie to Premiere, I greatly appreciate any advice, pointing-me-in-the-right-direction, or suggestions of individuals to help oversee this for compensation and screen credit that anyone can offer me here...
    Many Thanks,
    Bill

    Oooh...big involved questions and many of them.
    If it helps..
    A few things I know I would do before even starting on the actual film edit
    ..is give the new system a massive shakedown.
    Thrash the hardware  and software with test footage , graphics and audio etc.
    Test the pipelines and workflows.
    Set up a BACKUP routine. DO NOT RELY ON AUTOSAVES
    Would  NOT do  O.S updates once started with a stable system.
    Me...I would not use a Dynamic Link workflow for FX.  (I would use D.Is)
    Would create a flow chart plan for the edit and post prod to avoid generation losses, efficiencies and scheduling.
    Work toward  lock downs before FX , audio, CC and Grade. (Avoid the trap of being creatively impatient for the benefit of a smooth edit experience)
    Sort this first...
    I'm encountering all manner of glitches and problems, and need to ensure that I am properly configuring our post workflow and all of the associated hardware.
    You might want to specify some of this stuff and see if you get answers here or elsewhere..
    Suggestion - can you wait for next version of PPro ? - coming very soon evidently. Start with latest version so you don't need to update midstream.  A feature takes a long time to post and some cool new  features may help. eg  Master Clip enhanced.
    Have you considered Prelude in the workflow to log and set up your project. ( Never used it myself but I would consider/investigate  it for long form)
    Good luck and enjoy the edit process.
