Fat4lity HS-1000 MIC crackling in xp64

Hey,
im having a problem with the HS-1000. Whenever I use voice coms or try to record sounds I get this crackling on the background of the mic output. It actually even happens when I have the mic turned off and just try to record silence. Im using windows xp-64 professional with the latest service pack.
I have tried the headset on my other computer and it works fine. Also tried it on this computer on my second OS (Vista 32bit) and it worked fine. I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers and firmware. What could be causing this ?

I have investigated this further and when recording with the mic off, I can see a pulse type wave on the recording screen every second or so. Or actually 3 different pulses coming in the exact same order periodically.

Hi Everyone..
I am getting an Error 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Component Event.
The ComponentEvent class has been imported,and also the event handling code is there. I am not sure what else is wrong, hope somebody can advise me. Thanks. The code is below, the point where the error occurs as indicated by the compiler has been highlighted.

Hi Guys...
I have found out what is wrong. I was importing the wrong package the correct one should have been:
import fl.events.ComponentEvent;
instead of
import flash.events.ComponentEvent;
I hope this is helpful for anyone caught in a simillar situation as me...Thanks..

Crackling in Fatal1ty HS-1000, Windows 7

Hi,
I have a crackling in my HS-1000s that will occur if my computer has not been restarted for a while (putting it to sleep does not solve problem, but restarting does). It will sometimes take a few days for the crackling to come back, but it will sometimes come back the next day.
If I do not restart my computer, the crackling will increase in intensity until all audio is output crackly. Then everything will sound high pitched, as if played in fast-forward (voices sound like chipmunks. seriously). Exiting out of the game will usually fix the high-pitch issue, but other sound (youtube, itunes) will still be slighly crackly and stuttery.
Usually a restart fixes this temporarily. I've noticed it occurs more frequently in Battlefield: BC2 than in the past, but it HAS happened in a variety of other games. It seems to only start while I'm playing a game, though. If no sound is being output, there is no crackling.
Additionally, the headset will occassionally hum, on in-game as well. There seems to be no specific on-screen action that suggests humming. Whenever I start up Modern Warfare 2 or BC2, the humming will start at the login menu, then randomly stop.
I am currently using the native drivers.
Thanks
EDIT: It seems that with BC2, when I restart the game, I get no game audio at all. I can still listen to sound on youtube or itunes, but it's still a bit crackly.
EDIT 2: I heard the crackling again and left the game running for a bit then quit out. YouTube was running crackly and then I got myself a nice BSOD. Any suggestions?

Hey man, I'm also experiencing this sh!t...
The crackling just wont stop and it really kills good games, music and movies. :/
I have however come up with a "solution" and that is to un-install ALL drivers and programs for the headsets. The crackling/lagging sure stops but the sound quality goes to hell. The mic volume will also be reaaally low, and that's not really acceptable if you're using VoIP for gaming.

Can't hear myself talk - No mic playback - HS 1000 headset

I have a Creative Fatal1ty HS-1000 USB headset and I can not hear myself talk into the microphone. I have emailed tech support for the third time and they keep referring me to their help articles on the website but it doesn't help.
I have no option in the windows volume control to turn up or un-mute the mictophone in playback control.
Here's a screenshot...

I have the same exact problem. I also have XP.
I found the mic volume slider, it's the "Volume" button in the voice recording section. I have it turned all the way up, but still get nothing.
I installed all the latest drivers, Control Consoles, etc etc.
I was pretty much ready to give up.
Update: The microphone can be removed. It pulls straight out. That means, it may not have proper contact.
That was the case for me. I put it back in, and must've gotten it just right, because now it works. I guess the contacts are a bit touchy.
Anyway, If you're out there and getting nothing from the mic test, this may be your problem.

Mic is disabled. cant get it to enable anywhere. and now, its stuck making this crackling, whining.

Trying to set up for Google Chat and somehow, turned off MIC ... but the speakers are crackling, kinda whining sound. WEIRD. The mic is not responding but then, it didn't respond before! Running Win 7, 64bit on a HP G-72. Cannot figure out what to do to a) turn ON mic and b) turn off these speaker sounds that are horrid! THANKS!

You may need to try this More than Once...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

Another Mic problem. AKG 1000 S

Hi there. I have been searching for a solution to this on tis forum but cannot find a fix.
I have an AKG 1000S microphone (see here : http://www.akg-acoustics.com/products/powerslave,mynodeid,186,id,759,pid,759,_la nguage,EN.html)
Its impedence is 200 Ohms and can be powered by phantom power or a 9V battery, which I thought made it ideal for my use. I.e. Plugging into my Macs to record accoustic guitar. The mic works BUT is very quiet. It has a bettery power idicator that says battery OK. I am not getting noise or pops just very quiet recording. I have to have microphone and speaker volumes set to max to get an audible sound.
The mic is connected to the mac via a 1/4" jack and then a 3.5mm jack into my line in port. When I use am iMic the excess noise is awful. I am wondering if the 1/4" - 3.5mm adaptor jack is stereo and not mono. Would thid make a difference?
Any help please.
Many thanks.

So even though the mic has a 9V battery to give it
power, it is not amplified?
That is correct
What do you think the 9V battery is for?
Condenser mics require power to function, they don't have an amplifier built in.
Would I need the battery if I got a pre-amp?
If the amp supplied "Phantom Power" then no, you wouldn't need the battery.
The cheapest I know of is about $29 for the Behringer UB502 Eurorack UB502 Mixer. This does not supply Phantom power, so would need the battery.
It it were me, however, I'd spend an extra $10 and get the Behringer UB802 Eurorack UB802 Mixer which does supply Phantom Power, so you would never have to worry about the battery dying on you at an inopportune moment.

Netbook 1000: Shared Mic/Headphone input - What type?

I am considering an HP 1000 series Netbook. But the shared Mid/Headphone jack has me worried. I can ONLY use this, if I can make an interface cable that can take seperate mic and earphone connections. I have a piece of hardware that has an audio output and mic input that must be connected to the HP shared mic and headphone jack.
What I don't know is what type of jack or interface the shared jack is. I haven't found anyone who can tell me for sure.
1) Is it a propietary device interface?
2) Does it accept a 2, 3 or 4 connection plug?
3) Is it a standard length or is it a special plug that can only be obtained from HP?
4) Can the mic and earphone connection be used at the same time?
5) What is the plug connection description (tip, 1st contact, 2nd contact, etc)?
I'm hoping it's just a 4 connection plug with standard stereo earphone for the first 3 contacts, and a fourth contact for a mic input. But I need to know for sure.
If anyone has a device that uses this jack, that has BOTH a mic and headphone, that works correctly, can you answer these questions above?
I don't want to buy the HP 1000 series to find out I can't use that jack, for my application.
Thanks,

Since my stereo/mic headset works great with it, I conclude that it is what is called a TRRS jack. I am in the process of ordering a "TRRS plug" Y to 2 "TRS jacks" cable (see http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/009-243.ht). I have every confidence it will work fine.

SoundBlaster PCI 128 Crackling/Popping, Mic Wont Work Now Eith

Hello everyone, im kinda a noobie here so give me some leeway, gonna take a shot at this.
Okay, so yesterday i felt like messing around with my graphics card which led to...problems of course.
Anyway, i had to uninstall Windows XP SP and SP2, which were both on my system, i reinstalled SP2, but noticed my mic would now make large pops and crackles, and i could BARELY be heard on ventrilo. My speakers were also the same way. So, i uninstalled SP2 and put SP back in hoping something would fix itself. Still didnt work. Not sure what i messed up, but everything was perfect beforehand, there were absolutely no pops or crackles in my mic or my speakers, everything was fine. Anyone know what i can do to get back on track again?, Im going to install SP2 over SP like before tonight, but anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks alot!

Bump. Can anyone give me suggestions?

HP Mini 1000 Internal Mic in Vista

I installed Windows Vista on my HP Mini 1035NR but it looks like the internal microphone is not working. Are there any plans to make Vista drivers available?
Thanks in advance!

I have a HP Mini 1033CL and just installed the release candidate of Windows 7 Build 7100. Installation seemed to detect audio just fine, but as with previous posters, my microphone didn't work. Additionally, the webcam would only display a black screen in Skype.
I did some digging around and found a solution. The hardware id for the HD Audio Controller on the Mini 1033CL (made by IDT) is: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_111D&DEV_7608&SUBSYS_103C361A
I'm not sure if this is the same on the Mini 1000 or later models, but you can find your hardware id by going into device manager and getting to details on the properties of the audio controller.
I found this thread dslreports.com which provides links to audio controller drivers based on hardware id.
In this post, there is a link to HP driver package (intended for Notebooks) that had driver that included the hardware ID of the audio controller on my Mini 1033.
I ran the installer on my Windows 7 Mini 1033CL. While it errored at the end of the installation, I rebooted my netbook, and the updated drivers were successfully installed. I was going to attempt manually updating the drivers via device manager, but realized that the drivers had successfully installed despite the error. To my delight, the external microphone now works! Additionally, the webcam is now working and successfully capturing video in skype!
Hopefully, you will have the same success with this.

HS-1000 Fatalty USB Gaming headset Mic Issues

so i bought this thing from newegg and had it for almost a week now... still having problems with the mic. basically it's not working.
for one thing when i bought it i was asuming that the creative consol would read it as the head phones where plugged in and act accordinly but it doesnt. for another thing i enabled the mic and turned everything on through the creative consol, still doesnt work. initially the mic would have a big red X over it for some reason and i'd always have to turn it on just too use it. but it still doesnt work at all. i dont know if this is a sound card problem or a probelm with the headset. so either way im at a loss.
ii tried it with a standard mic and plugged it into the back, it seems too work from their and i can get it too come up on the sound recorder, but with this USB thing it's not...
anyone that had similar problems with this thing know what's going on? Im using the Sound Blaster X-fi Platinum Sound card with driver version 2.18.0004. i have heard reports from people who bought the same sound card that the mic evenutually dies on the system. im wondering if mine finally just went out or something. either that or its a vista-32 bit thing.
i dunno,
any help would be appreciated.

Crackling, Left Rear Channel noise, IRQs, 4 Gigs of Memory, fixes and problems with XFi Fatal

Hello fellow troubleshooters. Well I've been working on my XFI issues since there are so many of them trying to make the one piece in my newly built system work as intended. I will put my hardware info below this post for comparison purposes if it helps you at all or for feedback/ideas. Well first off I had the crackling noise popping so on even when my machine was idle. If you have not done this yet do it
!!! Start, Control Panel, Sounds Speech and Audio Device, Change Speaker Settings, Advanced (in device volume), ok now there is a bunch of sliders go to "options" check everything, ok now that you see all the sliders mute Everything besides: Play Control, Wave, CD Player for testing purpose. You will probably hear a difference as you do it. Especially Mic 2. Ok well that issue resolved my popping crackling noises when idle. Ok so I still have a shared IRQ issue since I have an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe board and the slots go as such PCI-E, PCI, PCI, PCI-E, PCI. Well since the GeForce 7800 GTX cards I have take up not just the PCI-E slot, but also the PCI slot is covered from the Huge Fan. Then the Same thing for the Second graphics card. So I have only one slot that works for my PCI Fatalty sound card. Well this forces me to share PCI IRQ between one of the Video Cards and the Sound Card. Its not a "conflict" it is simply sharing the IRQ, after the above issue fixed my popping issue this no longer was a concern. Now my big issue is that I sent my Sub Woofer in for RMA, I have the Gigaworks S750 7. THX speakers, they are great but when I really crank up the volume on them I would get the sound like a speaker was blown in the left rear channel, so I swapped another speaker in its place and I have the same problem. So the RMA folks said to send in the Sub Woofer which cost me over $30 to ship the thing only to have them tell me there is no problem. Well I had recently done RMAs on my sound card, both Video Cards, and my mother board too in hopes of fixing the next problem. So everything is new though I got a refurb on the mobo. So I'm just waiting on my Sub woofer now so I'm using my headphones and guess what I'm finding there is this noise in the left speaker, an issue I sent the headphones back for a long time ago when I was using them waiting to buy my speakers. I have the Creative Pro Gamer headphones. So now I read a post about someone else with the same issue left channel, and I have to wonder I am not alone and that usually means in Creative Labs land there probably is others with this issue that have spouses that wont let them stretch their audiophile legs with extreme volume, if this is you try it out kick up the bass, and see if you have this problem too, if so please post it here. I have no clue on this one and I am open to any ideas. Ok and the last issue!! This is the real problem I'm facing now. I play EQ2 I love my MMO titles with the occassional single player title for those short stints at the computer between work, parenting, and stuff my wife demands be started before she finishes speaking of it (those of you married know what I'm talking about). I have 2 operating systems, XP Home, and XP Pro 64. Home I use for Office, graphic design, and general applications. XP Pro 64 I use purely for gaming. All my games are installed through this OS which is on my 2 74 Gig Raptors in Raid 0, I have another Partition for XP Home, and a 3rd for all the game installs. So I recently found that after selecting Extreme Graphics option in EQ2 then moving the rest of the sliders to Max that my G5 keyboard which has a performance monitor in it showing the amount of Ram usage showed me hitting about 90% and would spilke at the same time as I found I had frame rate slowdown. So I decided to get 2 more gigs of Corsair Twin XMS 3500Pro 024x2 memory bumping me up to 4 gigs. Well I had to go into the bios I found and change a memory setting to discrete and enable the memory hole in order for XP Pro 64 and the motherboard to see the memory. At this time I was working on other things with my computer, and suddenly the popping noise came back so I'm pissed now.... But oddly its not happening in XP home, only in XP 64. So I'm thinking I may have to go to XP home for my gaming OS, then just before I install home I remember that XP home wont register 4 gigs of memory.... So I go turn off the memory hole and discrete settings and this sets the memory to 2 gigs.... Crackling sound in ALL EAX GAMES goes away.... So now clearly my issue with my sound card and EAX crackling noise is Memory related somehow. Now I have isolated it to 4 gigs of memory, but it makes me think of those folks with this issue perhaps something is amiss with their memory and how it works with timing, or onboard memory on the sound card which is a first time memory is put on a sound card?.... Any input is appreciated as to how to repair this issue, thanks for reading, below is my system set up.

Evolve,
I have the a8n-sli Premium which as you stated is basically the same board with a couple extra items. I have the latest beta bios ver -06. Since the early fall release the option which we will be talking about was available in the premium board which it I remember was Bios rev 9. I would download the latest bios rev.
07.04 (latest beta?or go with 06)?and flash in. Here are the steps to get the proper memory options to work and I have also included my system specs to compare.
) Hit Del to get into Bios
2) Go to the second tab on the top of the screen "Advanced"
3) Select the first option in the menu "CPU Configuration"
4) Select the first option in the "CPU Configuration" menu called "DRAM Configuration"
5) Select Manual configuration from the first Menu item.
6) The last two options in the same menu for DRAM are s/w remapping over 4G and h/w remapping over 4G. Select the "s/w remapping option over 4G" and enable it. Disable the "h/w remapping over 4G."?
7) Hit f0 and save the config.
You should now at post have 4GBws total but only 3GBs of usable memory and your X-fi should crush it in XP64 and XP32.
My Specs
A8n-sli premium (Bios -06)
amd X2 4400 (~2.5 GHZ)
4GB LL patriot memory (~228 HZ)
X-Fi Extreme Music
LSI 320-2e PCI express SCSI RAID controller (256MB buffer)
2x Seagate Cheata 5K.3?dri'ves
All water cooled
Good Luck
PapaH
By the way this is defiantly a XP64 driver problem because even with h/w remapping enabled in XP32 the card sounds fine. It only happens in XP64.

How can I use an external mic to record meeting audio with quicktime player

I'm trying to use a SoundTech CM-1000 conference mic to record meetings at a conference I am running.
I'm using Quicktime for the recordings.
The SoundTech CM-1000 conference mic does not transmit any sound when connected to the Audio-in plug on my MacBook Pro.
Does my MacBook Pro require external mics that are also powered - connected via a usb port rather than, or at least in addition to, the audio-in plug, for instance?
What's happening here?
Steve

Macbook Pro does not have a microphone input
You have two options:
1 buy a USB mic and connect to a USB port
2 buy a small very cheap sound mixer that has 3.5 mic level input and a line level out put
something like this:
DAP Audio

Hi, folks.
I cannot get my sound card to record anything, using a built-in microphone. Audio output works just fine, though. I hope someone can help me, I have been banging my head against the wall for some time over this issue...
My laptop is Toshiba Satellite A200-1J0 (PSAE6E-04R036G3). alsamixer settings are fine, I tried supplementing additional options to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf, but no luck, tried some of the combinations (model=<> position_fix=<>).
When recording sound with gnome-sound-recorder, with Capture set as input, nothing is heard. Skype can't record anything, either. I can't even get the crackling or hissing sound like some users do.
Should I try to get the latest ALSA?
Debug details start from now on:

Hi there!
I had the very same problem with the same soundcard and found this thread.
The problem got solved for me by adding the same line as you have to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.
However, I also had to create /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf and add:
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba power_save=0
Notice the difference on the "model=toshiba" part.
However, my laptop is not a Toshiba, but a Compal IFL90.
I remember that in Ubuntu I needed(a long time ago) to add a line to /etc/alsa.conf with model=toshiba. I figured it might be worth a try, and well, it did.
I hope this can help someone else.
As for the OP: "You have my thanks!"

ITunes Stream Stuttering and Crackling Noises (Temporary Work Around Option

Note: If you don’t take the time from your busy schedule to address these suggestions being provided in this and future upcoming series, then by all mean continue with what you were doing before and continue to experience the frustrations and problems. The series is not meant to be a cure-all for the problems you are having. But the information will go a long way toward correcting and improving a lot of issues that you may be having with your system. Think About It !!!!!!!!!!
I listen to the radio a lot using the iTunes player as well as listen to music that I have transferred to the player. When a problem occurs it aggravates me to no end especially if it is occurring when I am try to relax to my music. At times I am also experiencing the stuttering and crackling issues in the 7.0 update that has been recently released. The following information can be useful in temporarily correcting this problem until Apple comes up with a patch to resolve this issue. If you choose to proceed with implementing this information then you assume any liability that may occur during your attempts at using and applying this information. This information has so far suited any needs that I may or am currently having to date personally.
1)Quick Time Preferences – In the Quick Time Preferences\Audio tab check to make sure that the settings are at the default level. Your platform may reflect a different khz Rate. On my platform my default level will be the following:
Rate: 44.1 khz
Size: 16 bit
Channels: Stereo (L R)
When I listen to my music I like a good quality stereo sound so I have my audio sound routed from my laptop to my CD or Video jacks in the back of my stereo. Stereo System: Pioneer SX 251R Receiver. External Speakers: 2 - 8 ohm Yamaha.
Make sure the Safe Mode box is unchecked. Close the Quick Time player. Now, when you begin experiencing the stutter problem there are two immediate steps that you can try to correct the problem:
1)Stop the stream or the music that you are listening too and restart the service each time that the event occurs, (In my case the events that have been occurring has not been consistent when they do occur. Close monitoring in place on all connection ports. Running Snap In’s deployed: IPSec Monitor/MMC Console– Currently monitoring IKE and IPSec Statistics for any changes. To run this snap in properly the Event Monitor must be in the running state and actively logging events in the Administrative\Event Viewer Folder) I will also be configuring Dr Watson to generate a Stack and Dump file log to the desk top in the event of an unexpected occurrence. or,
2)If that does not correct the problem then try the following: Go to the My Computer folder and open it up. When you have done so, Right click the Local Disk and enter the Properties section. When the Local Disk Properties box comes up, enter the Tools tab, in the Error Checking section, place a check mark in the “Automatically Fix System Errors” and click start\yes. Back out of that and close all running programs including firewall in the tray next to your clock and reboot the system.
Once you have rebooted run the Disk Cleanup utility and the Disk Defragmenter utility. While we are using the Disk Defragmenter lets take an extra step to insure that we defragging the hard drive volumes as much as possible. Click on the analyze button a second time. If there are any entries in the box highlight the first entry and run the Defrag utility a second time.
Tip! If you would get in the habit of running defrag process regularly on a daily basis it will help improve the overall baseline performance of your machine.
Last Step: Open your player and try again.
If you are still experiencing the problem and it hasn’t leveled out to your satisfaction then there are two additional steps that I have personally used or am currently using that may help with your issues. The steps will involve installing a small batch file program and a hot fix patch.
User Profile Hive Cleanup Service– (Batch Program) Open your Browser and type in the following address: www.microsft.com once the page has loaded look for the search bar in the upper right hand corner of the page. In the search bar type in the following: “User Profile Hive Cleanup Service”. Once the search result page comes up click on the first result to bring up the proper download page. Before you can use this batch program you will be required to go through a short validation process before you can download the program. The validation process is to ensure that you are running a genuine windows platform.
Overview
The User Profile Hive Cleanup service helps to ensure user sessions are completely terminated when a user logs off. System processes and applications occasionally maintain connections to registry keys in the user profile after a user logs off. In those cases the user session is prevented from completely ending. This can result in problems when using Roaming User Profiles in a server environment or when using locked profiles as implemented through the Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP.
On Windows 2000 you can benefit from this service if the application event log shows event id 1000 where the message text indicates that the profile is not unloading and that the error is "Access is denied". On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 either event ids 1517 and 1524 indicate the same profile unload problem.
To accomplish this the service monitors for logged off users that still have registry hives loaded. When that happens the service determines which application have handles opened to the hives and releases them. It logs the application name and what registry keys were left open. After this the system finishes unloading the profile.
Once you have downloaded and installed the batch file close all running programs and reboot. Now, ‘This is important”, lets determine if the batch file is properly running after installation. Go to Start\Help and Support. Once the Help and Support Center comes up click on the following link: “Use tools to view your computer information and diagnose problems” under the “Pick a task” section. Once the page has been loaded in the left hand pane click on the “Advanced System Information” link. Once that page has been loaded click on the following link: View detailed system information (Msinfo32.exe).
Once the System Information box is loaded look in the left pane and open the Software Environment Tree and click on the following link: Windows Error Reporting. If the batch program is properly running you should see the following entry: “User profile hive cleanup service version 1.6.30.0 started successfully
&#x00a”. The ending symbols may be different on your platform.
Now, we want to go to another location in your system to verify this entry and that this service is properly working again. Pull up your “Control Panel” and enter the “Administrative Tools” folder. Once there enter the “Event Viewer” folder. Then enter the “Application Folder”. If the service is properly working the following entry will be logged: User profile hive cleanup service version 1.6.30.0 started successfully, Event ID 1001. If for some reason this program is not functioning properly a different error code other then the Event Id 1001 will be generated and logged in this folder. Also if one is generated you will want to verify if it’s a genuine error. To do this you need to go back into the help and support center Advanced System Information link and click on the following link: “View the error log”. If anything goes wrong a corresponding general entry that was logged in the Event Viewer will be logged in this link verifying that a problem had occurred. All of the information in the logs will be useful in your trouble shooting efforts. To date I have not had any measurable conflicts to occur while using this batch program to date. Closing Overview: when this program engages it will target itself at the Kernel System only at shutdown and startup. A corresponding entry will be made in the folders that I have described above stating that the program had started or failed.
System Restore Feature and USB Device’s – Event Viewer\System and Application Folders\Event ID SR 1 (Hot Fix Patch) – I have noticed that some folks are loading and unloading iTunes in attempt to correct problems. Also, I see by the forum board that a lot of folks are having a lot of problems with their iPods. Think about this for a moment, iPods will have their own unique set of drivers to operate from. I am going to attempt to explain an experience that occurred with me last year on this issue. When working with USB Devices it is important to keep your eyes on the Event Viewer folders for the following event id being logged: Event ID SR 1. This is especially true if you are using your System Restore Feature. The main folders that you want to keep your eyes on are the “System\Application” folders.
I have not witnessed any specific Software Applications generating this code in general at this point in time. But when it comes to Software and USB Devices I have personally experienced a situation that did cause a SR 1 entry last year. Example: My wife has Sevier medical problems. When we travel I keep a USB Flash Drive on my key chain with her medical information installed in case of an emergence. The Medic Alert E-Health Key was a new device that came out that had bugs that needed resolved just as with iTunes 7.0. The short of the story is that the flash drive was conflicting with the System Restore Feature, which led to additional problems such as conflicts in the Add/Remove Utility. I could not properly unload the Uninstall .Dll files when trying to uninstall the flash drive itself using the Add/Remove Utility. During a conversation with a Microsoft Support tech I was informed that other unloading issues had also been identified in the Add/Remove Utility. I could be wrong but I think there is a patch available that would help with unloading issues while using the Add/Remove Utility. To keep an eye on any possible loading/unloading issues that I may have while using the Add/Remove Utility, I use the following program to determine if there any issue’s that I need to deal with: (30 Day Trial Program-Fully Functional)

Program Name: Remove 4.0. All of the information you need to know about this program will be summarized in the provided link. If anything: USE IT !!!!
NOTE: This SR 1 patch is only a temporary hot fix. They are suggesting that we wait until the next Windows XP service pack release that contains the hot fix.

Also keep this in mind. The only time that you want to become concerned about the SR 1 issue is when you notice an increase in the number of SR 1 entries in Event viewer logs. If you are logging two (2) or more events then I would begin investigating the problem. Again, In my case the System Restore Feature was identified as the initial cause of conflict when the conflict first occurred when loading the USB Flash Drivers. So, if you suddenly notice this entry in the Event Viewer then you can pretty much bet that you are experiencing a USB issue that is conflicting with the System Restore Feature. But there is a Hot Fix available to temporarily resolve this issue as I have stated. Go back to the Microsoft link that was provided. When the page loads, in the search bar in the upper right hand corner of the page type in the following KB 888402. Be Advised – if you have to resort to this measure you will have to contact the Microsoft Support Team directly by phone to receive this patch.
When you talk to the tech you will need to provide the following information: A brief description if the Event being generated in the Event Viewer as well as a brief description of the problem that you are having. Once the tech has verified the information he/she will e-mail the hot fix to you in a zip folder if I’m not mistaken.
System and Third Party Drivers
Drivers can be another source of conflict that can have a direct impact on how your system operates. I have already given you an example of this in the System Restore/USB Devices section. They can also cause unexpected stability issues. In addition to that malicious Root Kits and Trojans can download drivers on your hard drive without your knowledge further complicating matters. So, before I close this information out let me show you how we can quickly gather and display a listing of all drivers that are currently installed on you hard drive by using a very simple program. (This program will be a 15-day Trial program).
Program Name: My Drivers 3.11
With this program you will be able filter out all preinstalled drivers that came with the system at the time of purchase, thus exposing the remaining Third Party drivers and as well as the Unknowns. If you know what your doing I would take this time now and disable the drive(s) in question if removal procedures are deemed necessary once you have obtained the driver listing. My overall objective with this program is to immediately determine if there is anything out of the norm with the drivers overall.
A download link is unavailable at this time. The web site appears to be under construction at this time.
As a final step on this issue I suggest keeping an eye on the Device Manager for any sudden “Yellow Warning Symbols” appearing within the Device Manager Tree Structure.
Print this information off and us it as a reference point. Any new helpful hints that I can think of will be posted as soon as I can squeeze the time in.
