Driver question for SoundBlaser Live 5.1 card installed in D

Greetings:
I have just completed a clean install of WXP and SP2. Is it better to use the SoundBlaster 5. driver on the Dell site or the one on the Creative Labs site? It looks like there are several to choose from on the Creative Labs site. Can someone please indicate the proper choice?
Thank you.

Thanks Shingo-Y:
I saw a driver on the Creative Lab site listed as SoundBlaster 5. Li've for Dell and thought this might work but perhaps I should play it safe and just install my original driver from the Dell CD.
Thanks for your reply.

There is no 64 bit driver for XP64.
There is a XP32 bit driver that is supposed to work with x64, but it has issues and hasn't been updated in well over
a year.
As the above quote illustrates, there seems to be a difference of opinions as to the existence of a real 64bit driver.
Since I use the 32bit, I will simply repeat my statement that a driver is offered.
But curiosity requires me to wonder why the question exist?

USB External Hard Drive Question for the E4200 v1 router

I know this is going to be a really dumb question, especially coming from a computer tech of 25 years, but I'm going to ask it just to be safe.
First off, my router is the E4200 v1. It's a substitute for my older WRT54GS router. One of the features I am quite fascinated with is the USB external drive usage. Here's my question. I have a Western Digital My Passport Essentials 500 GB external drive (Model #WDBAAA5000ABB-02) that I want to use on it. I know it's not on the Official List of tested USB storage devices for the Linksys E4200 but I really want to use it, especially for storage on my three computer systems. My question is do I need to unplug the router power supply BEFORE I plug in the external drive to the USB port on the back, or does it matter?
Any help is appreciated. Again, I know it's a dumb question, but the guides and "How-To" on the Linksys website isn't exactly clear. Thanks in advance!

Errr... Nevermind. I think I found a better way to use the external drive without the use of the router. Thanks anyway.

Driver upgrade for AMD Radeon 5770 Graphics Card

I have a 2008 Mac Pro, running OSX 10.8.5. Just installed AMD Radeon 5770 graphics card (Apple says this isn't supported; users I read said it works despite what Apple says in knowledge article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3477). When I restarted, the system said my card was a Radeon HD 5000, not 5770. AMD's web site not clear about driver upgrade (and I believe I have to do this, since I took out the old graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 2600 that came with the Mac Pro at purchase). Didn't get a clear answer, yet, from Apple support. Anyone experience this? Does anyone know which driver to manually download from AMD's site? It's not clear, and they also suggested, talk to Apple to get driver support. Here's where I went, and found the choice not clearly mapped out for the Mac (and their autodetect software works only for XP:

RE: Mac Pro silver tower (2006-2012) Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5. (This card has just been discontinued and is no longer available from Apple dealers. There may be some new, old stock still available at resellers)
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000 Fermi, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro K5000 Kepler, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards".
One more thing--
Flashed PC cards: There are a good many EFI flashed cards that offer boot screens and behave like official cards. "for more information about using and flashing non-Apple cards, please check out the various sites like Netkas (and others) that focus on and discuss what is known and available.

Quick Driver Question for G31M3-V2

I just bought a G31M3 V2 on sale from Frys with a E5200. I also bought a new SATA drive at the same time. I installed Vista x64, last night (cleanly with a reformat), on an IDE drive that I had, and I was trying to get the system to see my SATA drive. I Popped in an Ubuntu CD so I could use the live portion to see if I could see the SATA drive. I could see it, and I formatted it to NTFS. I also placed some files on there to test it out. The drive was working perfectly and Ubuntu has full access to it. But I still can't see it in Windows.
Vista doesnt even see an "unidentified device" or anything. I keep trying to install the drivers from the Mobo CD, but I can't get any of them to install.
I went to the drivers online (http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1449) and downloaded "Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver". When I try to run it, I get the message: "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. Setup will exit."
I have no idea what to do to get Vista to see my drive. I have re-installed Vista 3 times already to try different things, and at no time has the drive been detected. But Ubuntu continutes to be able to see and access the drive. What do I do?

Success and Failure at the same time.
I decided to go to bed, since it didn't look like I was going to get any more help today, so I went for the shut-down. I clicked the windows button, and accidentally hit the power symbol instead of that little arrow that gives you the options of shut down, restart, hibernate, etc. The power button just suspended the machine, and when I got back into Vista to do a proper shut down, the machine said it had identified my SATA drive! I went and looked and yes, it was there, with all the files I had put on it as well! I opened up a few of them and they all worked. I was happy that the situation had been resolved and went to do a shut-down again.
But then I decided to do a restart instead, to see if my access to the drive stuck around. I restarted and the HD had disappeared from the drives list! So I tried to recreate what I did previously, I suspended the machine and then logged back it. Yep, the drive had been detected again and it was running perfectly.
So in conclusion, it seems Vista doesn't see the drive unless I suspend the machine first, and then log back in. If I shut down or restart, the drive disappears from Vista, and I have to do the suspension trick again.
What could be the problem?

Capacity question for participant live video

The marketing for Adobe Connect shows 15 people online with video at the same time. However, an administrator at my institution says that having more than 5 or 6 people can become problematic. What are your experiences with capacity, clarity of voice, noise in background, etc.? How many people can I expect to have live at the same time on video?
thanks
lisaanne100

It all comes down to bandwidth. Since there is no limit on how many individuals can be sharing their camera and audio, you should be able to share as many as the internet connection can handle. However, there is a line between possible and reasonable.
You should be able to accommodate more concurrent live videos than concurrent live audio streams.
When breaking the 5-6 number for live video, I'd switch down to the lowest quality video, so that I have a better chance of getting the clean videos delivered to everyone. Consider whether or not everyone needs to be on a live video stream. Do you need to see people sitting there drinking water, picking their nose, or looking bored? Usually only the individuals that are actively speaking justify a live video.
Audio through VoIP is like audio through radios. There is a single audio stream and everyone's audio gets compressed into that single stream. So if you have more than 3-5 individuals talking, it will just sound like noise with no easy way to distinguish one person from another. If the group is well behaved you can get more people to have hot mics at once, but only one or two people should be talking at any given time. Additionally, multiple hot mics will increase the likelihood of an echo or a feedback loop. Like the video, only the individuals who are speaking should have their mic on and broadcasting. This is why the raise hand feature is in Connect, so other individuals can indicate that they have something to say, and the host can give them the ability to do so at the appropriate time.

FW Driver question for Apogee or Saffire Pro Users?

Hi All
I was cruising along without problems using firewire driver 2.0.1fc1-e8 but then updated to 2.0.2fc7-e3 which currently seems to be the driver recommended by Apogee and Focusrite. Within Logic I'm happy with the results as the drop problem with X-Fire card seems to be gone as is dropped lock.
However I've had a few unusual freezes and glitches and a strange finder window opening up at login, and before I start worrying and reinstalling anything, I thought I'd ask if anyone using this driver noticed anything unusual?
This may not even be related to the FWdriver, as I've also installed the last security update and the new QuickTime update since the FW update.

Presently I use a Saffire Le and it's a superb audio interface. Need more inputs now so I should have my Saffire Pro 10 i/o in two or three weeks. I'll let you then.
BTW Focusrite did another update today! You should install it right away!

External hard drive question for using iTunes -- iPod

Hello, I have my music stored on an external hard drive and want to keep it there (it's too much for my laptop). I can drag the music into itunes on my laptop and create playlists then get the music to my ipod during the same session.
However, if I come back weeks later then try and access the music on my external hard drive via iTunes, it does not recognize the file location. It asks me to locate EVERY single song, which is ridiculous.
Is there any way so that I can keep my music on my external hard drive and keep any songs and playlists intact so I don't have to start from scratch every time?
The only thing I can think of is just putting a small amount of music on my laptop, which would work but defeat the goal of only storing it on the external hard drive.
The other option I saw on one of the other posts was by consolidating the library on a new folder on the external hard drive, but I don't have enough free space on the external drive to make a duplicate copy of everything.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
DK

Make an alternate iTunes library and have it stored on the external drive.
Now, every time BEFORE you start iTunes on your laptop, make sure the ex HD is plugged in and recognized by the laptop's Windows operating system.
If you open iTunes before connecting the ex HD, guess what - you'll get a new blank library or corrupt library that can't find the files.
The directions for making a different iTunes library are here

Driver Question for Andrew (HP) or Anyone Else:LaserJet CM2320nf MFP, 2600n

This has been posted by me in threads but keeps getting lost in betwixt 1000's of others - so I'm starting anew
Will there be a driver for the HP LaserJet CM2320nf MFP that allows scanning,
and for the LaserJet 2600n that allows printing?
Both under warranty and for both I get nowhere from HP (support, telephone, email).
I'm rolled back to 10.5.8 until my office can use these, or I go to Windows after 25 years on a Mac.
Message was edited by: pcbjr

HP is steadily rolling out new drivers, but this is not an Apple problem since HP supplies the drivers. Apple did recently release the HP Printer Drivers 2.1 update a couple of days ago. You can install it to see if drivers for your printer have been supplied. However, only HP can tell you if and when new drivers will be available for both printing and scanning.
Meanwhile you could try VueScan that may support scanning on your device. Or you could try installing the SANE TWAIN driver (may or may not support scanning for your device.) Both can be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
In general it's always a good idea to avoid upgrading in a business environment until you know that all your hardware is supported by manufacturer updated drivers/software. Apple is not responsible for this.
Of course if you think it's less expensive to move to Windows (assuming it supports your hardware) then perhaps that's what you should do.

Hard drive question for the gang

Hey guy's
what would happen, performance wise, if you were to take a new hard drive out of its packaging and just clone it. No format no anything just clone, from a working C drive.
I know the drive will boot and work, but how will it act?
I have 2 Identical drives and 1 was cloned like that to see if it would work. Sandra on that drive 15200
on it's formated clone 28127, is the format the reason?
Jim

Frenchy,
These days they are selling drives so cheap that you have to wonder where they are cutting costs from. It seems to be that they are dropping the Q/C Departments.
As the sizes of drives goes up and prices come down, so does the quality of the drives.
I do hope that the new SATA Drives bring the Quality and reliability back up.

UPD driver (PCL6) for Windows 7 x64 client machines installed on a Server 2003 x32 server.

Hi,
We have CP1515 LaserJet printers run over TCP/IP from our Servers which run Server 2003 (32 bit).
We have recently bought some new PCs running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit edition.
How do I get the Win 7 x64 machines to use the printers served via the Server 2003 x32 machine ?
All my attempts to install the software (pcl6-x??-5.3.1.10527) on either the Server2003 or Win 7 x64 machine fails.
The EXE (pcl6-x64-5.3.1.10527) file won't run on Server2003 - I'm guessing because it expects an x64 operating system.
The EXE (pcl6-x32-5.3.1.10527) file runs on Server2003, but doesn't seem to do anything - I'm guessing because there is already an x32 driver.
When I use the ‘Additional Drivers’ option in the printer properties to an x64 driver, none of the supplied .INF files inside the expanded EXE are considered suitable.
The EXE (pcl6-x64-5.3.1.10527) runs on Win7 x64 machine, but when I select the existing printer on Server2003, it says it can't find the driver - which is ridiculous as I'm installing the driver!
I can get the EXE pcl6-x64-5.3.1.10527 to complete on the Win 7 machine if specifying a completely new printer queue (by supplying the IP address). However not only is this not satisfactory as it bypasses the required security and defaults on the server queue, but also it frustratingly then 'forgets' it had a perfectly good driver when I try and subsequently add the server printer queue.
I’ve run out of ideas. Can anyone help ?
Thanks,
Stuart Poore

Hi
I had this trobule too. Below is the instructions to install driver. Disconnect your printer. In printers select add printer. Then click windows update (need internet) allow them to update and then select 1220c printer to install leaving as standard old port. Once installed go into printer properites and update to USB port.
Bingo it works!
Refer to the below link for full instructions.

Driver question (- cd/web-relea

Hi!
I have received the X-Fi XtremeMusic today. But I have there a question for the drivers.
Must I install first the stuff from the support cd and than download the v2.07.0004 driver?
And when it's ok so, must I try the "auto-update" or download the driver manual to update the old one?
Oh and another question:
Can I install the tools from the cd without installing the driver? So when I run the install setup i mean.

there are some that would say it is better to cleaninstall the drivers and go straight to the new one from the web. However; when i bought my card i first installed it and everything that came on the cd and then simply used autoupdate to get everything up to the latest build.

Driver for CT4660 digital I/O card - with Soundblaster Live SB0

Hi - I searched the Knowledge Base here and the Support Driver section of the Creative Labs website and nowhere can I find a driver for the Digital I/O card CT4660. I have a Soundblaster Li've SB000 and the digital I/O card together with the connector cable. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction? Googled the web too, but just found one other message of someone looking for the same thing with no replies posted to that thread.
Thanks and happy New Year.

Macbook Pro for HD video -memory and external hard drive questions?

Hi!
I am a Macbook user, but I plan to purchase a Macbook Pro since I am now doing a lot of HD (not HDV) video editing. I live outside of the U.S. and cannot call the Apple Store, so was wondering if anyone can provide advice on the forum.
I'm interested in either the 15-inch: 2.53GHz or 15-inch: 2.66GHz. is there a big difference in speed between these?
-Is the 4GB memory the MBP comes with enough for HD video editing purposes, or would I opt for the 8GB? (here prices becomes a bit of an issue)
- Is the 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm sufficient or would I upgrade to the 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm [Add $50.00]
-I want to purchase an external firewire drive to store my media on-does anyone know if the G-Raid 500 would be good? Portability is a big issue for me since I travel very often.
Thank you all so much for your help!!

I looked at the 15inch and 17inch but chose the 17inch - and I am a filmmaker. I too travel on location extensively and usually carry a 15inch due to size-weight - but the 17inch is much better for HD. The video card and screen resolution in the 17inch is much better than than the 15inch but what clinched it for me was the 17inch has a CF reader and the 15inch only has a small SD card reader.
Most video HD cams are shooting straight to CF cards now.
I also upgraded to the 7200 rpm drive - a wise choice for $50 extra.
Yes 4G ram will run Final Cut OK - but if you go from FCP to motion a lot then you will need 8G.
