Audigy 2 ZS and Inspire T7900 Serious Problems!

Hey Guys I'am a guy from germany and I have serious problems with my speaker system!
Following System:
Windows XP Professional with SP2Creative Audigy 2 ZS SoundcardCreatice Inspire T7900(7.1) Speakers
My Problem:
No Surround!My Card is configured to 7.1 Speaker System, I have the newest Drivers from the page and all is 100% correct connected although wenn i make a Speaker Test in the THX Konsole the Guy only speaks from the Front speakers!!left frontspeaker: front left,side left rear leftright frontspeaker: front right, side right, rear right, front middle
(order of the announcements aren't right here)
when i connect 2.0 speakers from my brother to the green plug the same happens!!
What's going on here?!! is that a BUG?
please help
grettz Kai

It sounds like the soundcard drivers aren't installed properly or aren't being properly configuring the speaker settings.
Try changing to 2.0/2.1 and 4.0/4.1 and see if those modes work with the speakers connected as they are. If they do then 'tis a software problem and uninstalling and reinstalling the Audigy drivers should fix it (hopefully).

Firefox 4 does not ask me if I want to save my tabs when I quit. Tried all the suggestions in Firefox Help and still have the problem.

I just got a new MacBook Pro and installed Firefox 4. When I go to quit, I do not get the box that asks if I want to save the tabs before quitting, and they have not been saved. I tried all the Firefox suggestions on the Help Page, and nothing fixed this problem.

You may well be able to restore the tabs even if there is no explicit message on closing that asks you if you wish to restore.
You will be able to change firefox 4 to ask you by changing preferences, I am not sure it is covered in any Knowledge Base article, butit is often mentioned, see for instance: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799856

Lookout OPC Client – Asynchronous I/O and Update Rate serious problems (Sequence of data)

I am using the Lookout OPCClient driver to connect to AB PLCs (EtherNet/IP protocol) and power measurement equipment (Modbus TCP protocol). The OPC server is the NI OPC Servers. The data that are read out from PLCs and PMs are energy meter readings, energy counters, power, voltage, current, frequency, power factor and el. energy quality measurements (THD). That energy meter readings are being stored in SQL database.
I am experiencing a serious problem regarding the accuracy of the meter readings. Several times per day, randomly, meter readings are losing the time sequence. For example, sequence is: 167, after few seconds 165, 166. In other words, present value followed by two previous old values. That generates a serious problem in our application that is expecting a naturally rising sequence of counter values.
Analyzing further, I isolated the problem to the connection between Lookout OPCClient and OPC Server. I made a simple application in Lookout 6.7 (opcproc.lkp, attached) with OPCClient parameters: NIOPCServers, OPC2, Asynchronus I/O, Update rate: 10000, Deadband: 0.0, that is reading just one tag from NI OPC Servers demo application (simdemo.opf).
By using OPC diagnostic tool from NI OPC Servers I record the sequence of OPC requests and responses. I found out that OPCClient sends every 2.5 sec “IOPCAsyncIO2::Refresh2()” call that is request for refreshing of all items in one OPC group. Few milliseconds later OPC Sever responds with callback function “IOPCDataCallback:: OnDataChange()(Device Refresh)” that actually refresh the data.
This periodic sequence is intrinsic to the OPCClient and cannot be disabled or changed (by my knowledge). This sequence is periodically interrupted by “IOPCDataCallback:: OnDataChange()” caused by update rate parameter of OPCClient (client is subscribed to server for periodic update of changed items).
In the case of demo application on every 4 refresh callbacks caused by refresh requests (2.5 sec) there is one update subscription callback determined by Update rate (10 sec).
QUESTION 1:
What is the purpose of update sequence and update rate when we have every 2.5 sec fresh values?
PROBLEM
The problem arises when we have a large number of items in OPC group. In that case the OPC Server starts to queue refresh requests because they cannot be fulfilled in 2.5 sec time because of large number of I/O points that must be scanned. At the same time update subscription callbacks are running at the period determined by Update rate. I observed in my production system that regular update callbacks has higher priority than refresh callbacks from the queue. That causes the loosing of timed sequence of data. After the update callback with fresh data, sometimes follow one or two refresh callbacks from queue with old (invalid) data. By adjusting Update rate parameter (1 hour, 2hours …) I can postpone the collision of data refreshes but I cannot eliminate it. Furthermore, the 2.5 sec automatic refresh are large burden for systems with many I/O points.
QUESTION 2:
Is there a way to disable automatic refresh request every 2.5 sec and just use update requests determined by Update rate?
QUESTION 3:
Is there a way (or parameter) to change the period of automatic refresh (2.5 sec)?
This problem is discovered for Lookout 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7 so I could say it is intrinsic to OPCClient. If I use synchronous I/O requests there is not an automatic refresh, but that is not an option for large systems.
Thanks!

The physical connection from LV to the switch is (I believe) copper crossover to fiber converter into a switch. Then, fiber from the switch to the end device (relay). The relay has all of the typical modbus registries and has been verified by inducing signals in to the system and measured/polled in LabVIEW and observed Variable Monitor. I am working with LV 8.2 and 8.5.
An OPC server would only add an additional translation of addressing within the configuration. The only real draw back would be the network overhead required to do this processing and not being representative of the end design configuration.
I will reiterated my question in another way:
I must answer the question to management that relates to data collection, test results and analysis; how often are you polling the client in relation to the outcomes measured? At this time I can not point at any configuration in the set up and execution that directs the data framing rate. I only measure the traffic and work with results. This needs to be clearly identified based on the relay modbus/tcp design capability of supporting an fixed number of client requests per second.
For testing purposes, I would like to be able to stress the system to failure and have prove capabilities with measured data. The present problem is that I have no basis to establish varying polling rates that effect the measured data transmission.
This raises another question. What handles the Variable Monitor data requests and how is this rate determined?
Thanks for your interest in my efforts.

I use Firefox on my PC and I have no problem reading kurdish fonts, but on my android Sumsung Galaxy S 2 phone I can't read kurdish fonts.

Recently I bought a Samsung Galaxy S II mobile phone which uses Android software. I then downloaded the Firefox for Mobile application to use it as my main browser, but I have a problem, which is, whenever I visit a Kurdish Sorani website some of the characters appear like a small box. Can you suggest some solution please?
Thanks.

Sorry, most Android devices do not include fonts with full support for the Kurdish script, and so Android applications like Firefox are not able to display Kurdish correctly. For some more details, see this link:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15401
Unfortunately, there's currently no easy way to install additional fonts on an Android device. For a future version of Firefox, we plan to make Firefox automatically download fonts for missing scripts:

Smart playlists don't sync onto iPhone 6, and some other serious problems

Am syncing my music library via cable from a Mac Book iTUnes library onto the iPhone. The songs are on the phone, but
- many songs are duplicated and greyed out
- some songs don't sync at all and have a "download from the cloud" symbol next to them
- some songs are greyed out AND have a "download from the cloud" symbol next to them
- none of my roughly 30 smart playlists and one regular playlist are synced, There are only two standard entries "Genius Playlis" and "New Playlist".
- have tried manually syncing playlists by deselecting "sync all" and just checking one to be synced, but it won't sync either
- there is a mismatch in song count. ITunes on the Mac has 1415 songs, iTunes n the iPHone has 1024 songs
What's going on?????

Tried all the solutions but later found that the problem was related to iTunes being unable to find the link to the original file.
In iTunes, click on the Music icon at top left of screen, which should bring up the list of your music, artist, album etc.if you see an exclamation mark next to each file, it may be that the link to the location of your music file is lost. You need to right click on the track name and click GET INFO, then search through your computer to find the location of the missing file. I did this for a few tracks and then iTunes helpfully (?) asked if i would like it to do the rest of my music for me.
Then went back t iTunes and SYNCED as normal. I am not a techo type but hope this is helpful for others. Happy New Year

Recent update from ios 7 to ios 7.1 has caused my wifi button to grey out on my i phone 4s, and caused battery usage problems on my i phone 5s

Can anyone solve this problem, I have been told just to wait
for the next update which will fix it.

If your phone is in recovery mode, all data on it are gone. Certainly before performing a software update, you backed up your data and imported your important photos onto your computer, right?

I installed Firefox version 10.0 and now it is absolutely not working. What do I do to fix this?

I upgraded my firefox from 9.01 to 10.0 and now it is completely screwed up. When I click on the Firefox icon I get this message:
Error: Platform version '9.01' is not compatible with
minVersion > = 10.0
maxVersion < = 10.0
I use firefox on a Windows Vista every single day of my life, so for this not to work is a serious problem to me.
I tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, but that did not work.
Please help me figure this out.
Thank you so much
GG

If using Zone Alarm's browser virtualization or any other similar product or a sand-boxing program (i.e., Sandboxie), turn it off when updating Firefox or Firefox Add-ons. You can post on the forum for any such product that you might be using to get other instructions on the proper use of the product.
The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions. Do a clean reinstall. See: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up#XULRunner_error_after_an_update Browser will not start up - XUL Runner error after an update]

Firefox keeps hanging up and freezing. I get this message. "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing--what a mess.

No matter how many times I open and close, firefox hangs up after surfing a few pages. When I look at task master, firefox is using up hundreds of thousands of kb, causing the processor to stall at 100%. I do not have this problem when surfing with IE. I have the latest version of firefox. I never had this problem with version 5. It keeps getting worse with each "update".

See [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
Obviously firefox should not hang after surfing a few pages. I have Firefox installed on an XP including firefox 6.0.2 and do not have problems.

* [[Firefox consumes a lot of CPU resources]]
* [[High memory usage]]
Have a read of the above linked articles. The first thing to do is to try to get firefox to behave more normally
#Use [[safe mode]]
#* but do not make changes when you have the window with a list of options just click continue
# if using safe mode does not solve the problem also
#* make sure you use the default theme
#* disable all pluggins
Note by keying in ''about:memory'' into the location bar you will get a report, which includes more info as you roll the mouse pointer over items, that should help indicate where all the memory is being used.

Internal error "Framemaker has dectected a serious problem and must quit"

I keep getting an Internal error "Framemaker has dectected a serious problem and must quit." Can someone tell me what I need to do to correct this?

I get error messages about font not being available and about links failing to update but I don't think either of these should cause the "serious problem" Framemaker is detecting. We just subscribed to Framemaker less than one month ago. I wouldn't think I'd be behind on updates but when I tried to update I encountered another problem with Adobe Application Manager. I'm going to have an IT person at our company look into this. Hopefully, he'll have better luck than I'm having. If you have any helpful information to pass along, I'd still like to hear it. I will pass it along to our IT person. If not, thank you for your help. I appreciate it!

Firefox won't open and won't uninstall so I can re-install and start anew. HELP!

I'm on a Dell laptop with Windows Vista using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. My son was playing a game online (addicting games website I think) and the whole game screen didn't show up, he had to scroll. I went to the top of the page and right clicked and closed the address bar and menu bar so they weren't in the way. I've done this in the past and it worked fine. Not this time! When I went back to put those bars back on I couldn't do it. I had no address bar, no forward, back, refresh and home buttons, no file, edit, view buttons etc. I looked in my internet settings and all over the place and couldn't figure out how to replace those bars. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but those bars still were not there. I did this again after deleting browsing history (cookies and all) in case this problem was saved in my preferences. Still, no bars or buttons. I tried to uninstall again but now it won't even uninstall! It stubornly stays right there! It also won't even open now! I click on the icon and it sits. I right click the icon and hit open and it sits. I'm dead in the water. I can't even sign in to Pogo anymore because IE crashes everytime. I hate IE.....HELP!

Right... Back to square one.
- Open Internet Explorer, go to "www.mozilla.com" and download the installer for Firefox 3.6.12 and save it to your desktop.
- To uninstall Firefox, first make sure no "firefox.exe" processes are running on your machine: Open the task manager (invoke it by pressing ctrl-alt-del and choosing the appropriate option), click on the "Processes" tab, click on the heading "Name" to sort all running processes by name.
Scroll down the list and right-click on the first "firefox.exe" process picking the "Kill process" option. If there's more than one of them, repeat for all instances of "firefox.exe".
- Now go to the directory C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall and double-click "helper.exe". This should uninstall Firefox completely.
- Now we're in for the hard part: Go to C:\Dokuments and Settings\[Your User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. That's where your profile resides. Unless you're using the Profile Manager, chances are you're seeing just one directory "[random string],default". (In my case it's called "4sr92zjz.default", f. ex.).
If you got any bookmarks you'd like to keep, open this folder, find the file "places.sqlite" and move it to your desktop.
Now delete the entire contents of your profile folder--you'll need to configure firefox anew. Do keep this window open, you'll need it again in a few moments.
Go to your desktop, run the installer, start Firefox once, close it again and move your "places.sqlite" file from your desktop to your profile folder.
Now double-click Firefox and reconfigure it according to your preferences.
N.B.: Do get "MozBackup". With this application you're able to save and restore a working Firefox profile--for your next mishap ;-)

Firefox won't open and the steps in tutorial didn't help nor did uninstalling and re-installing

Hi,
I have been thru the tutorial and none of the steps solved the problem I am having with firefox. I just installed it on a new computer and it won't open. It says that it cannot run until process is ended or computer is restarted. Restarting and ending the process don't seem to help. The other tutorial step of deleting the lock file doesn't work either as I could not find a lock file.

Firefox becomes semi-unresponsive and freezes when a tab is dragged out to make it a new window.

Basically I may have 10 or so tabs open and wish to drag one of them out of the tab bar to make it form a new window. However when I do this it takes a second or two before the new window appears, and when it does it is semi-unresponsive.
I cannot exit it as when I hover over the red "x" nothing happens and I can't click it. I can't switch between firefox windows properly (it just keeps freezing). I usually end up killing firefox.exe in task manager.
My list of addons are:
2007 Microsoft Office System 12.0.4518.1014
Adobe Acrobat 10.1.0.534
