I had to give

I'm a long time CL user. This is the very first time I'm giving up on a CL card. I have the XFi Fatality pro. This card was Great in XP. I built myself a new system and decided to make the move over to Vista Ult. The only hardware that came?over from my old system was the CL card. This card and its drivers are giving me one BIG headache. I get video driver crashes, BSOD whenever I do anything with graphics. Games? No way in hell can they run well, Crash Bang Boom!?I tried everything known to man to get this card to play well with my?Evga 8800 GTS 640 meg superclocked card. I checked IRG's I reset Voltage on my card and played with my ram. Nope! not a thing worked. Today I pulled the card out and enabled the on board sound. (Realtek HD) I put my system through some good stress tests and couldn't crash her. Now my computer runs faster and smoother then ever. The on board sound isn't to bad. I actually have Dolby Digital 5. again. My XFi will not go back into this system until I see that all of the bugs are out and all features are supported again. If this doesn't happen soon, CL can count me out as a return customer. I will **bleep** sure tell everyone I know to stay away from this Company. My real hope is with the new Asus PCi-e sound card. This looks like the future to me.Message Edited by sapient on 03-23-20070:22 PM

I have done some research and have found a competitors card that is fully functional and it will arri've Monday. In fact with very little research, I found 3 cards that work with Vista-32 bit (both drivers and applications).
I tried to be patient but the more I researched other cards and started seeing that there are more hungry competitors out there the more annoyed I've become with CL. They could have at least communicated with their customers.
Those 3 cards you found most likely have all the same chip on them...which would be why they all have working drivers. The company that makes the chip sends out the reference drivers to the card makers and they package them and send them out to the consumer (although some may tweak or modify them to customize them to their card). There aren't very many decent options for soundcards these days, and the best ones, while there are several companies that put out the cards, are all based on the same chip.

  • Had to give up on Firefox and return to IE 8

    Since I updated to 3.6.6 on Wndows 7 I find I can't open a picture on LuminousLandscape. When I try to do it, Firefox refuses to open the picture. When I close Firefox, Firefox continues to run in the background and I have to kill it through Task manager. If you want to give this a try go to http://luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=44977&pid=377358&st=0&#entry377358 and double-click the picture at the top of that page.

    Weeks of TRASH = FIREFOX 3.66
    All three of my computers have been totally worthless since I upgraded to FF3.66. Each are built/configured differently. Each has a different OS. Each has all the above problems. Crashes constantly, RAM & CPU usage on a Q9650 is always near 100%. After screwing around for days I finally came here and found out that I was among a very large and upset group of users. With the last few upgrade I've had minor problems with my selection of add-ons Firefox disabled them for a later fix. I found a new DL today, 3.67 so I installed it figuring the problem was addressed. After installation of 3.67 it still says it's 3.66??
    I went to their site to find help from them and couldn't get anyplace until I came here and read about my problem. Thanks for giving me a clear head so I could find a good solution.
    My solution was to remove all Mozilla/Firefox products and then install other browsing options. It felt funny because for the first time in years I had to use Microsoft Internet Explorer to find other options. My computer is problem free and fast as usual now.
    I wonder how many other users have abandoned them due to this BS?? I for one will probably stick with my new choices now.

  • My email used for my apple id was hacked and I had to give it up. How do I change my primary id? I can't use the one I had that was hacked.

    I have tried to update my id and I seem to be getting a second account because when I enter my current email, apple tells me that I already have an account. I also am told that emails for verification are sent to my hacked account that I cannot access so I cannot get my ipad mini registered. I feel like I have been going around in circles and am very frustrated.

  • TimeWarner convinced me to get a new modem (faster). Since doing so I had to give my netwrok a new name AND my wi-fi no longer reaches the whole house as it did with the old modem. HELP!!

    TimeWarner convinced me to get a new modem ("faster"). Not only did I have to rename my network BUT it now doesn't reach the full extent of the house as it did with the old modem.

    If you have a question about one of the Apple routers......the AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express, or Time Capsule.....one of the devices pictured below, we can probably help, but as you say.....if the problems began when you got the new modem from Time Warner, I think you know where the issue likely resides.
    A call to Time Warner support would be in order if you are using the signal from the new modem, since they may have forgotten to mention that with higher wireless speeds, the wireless signal becomes weaker, so it does not go as far as a slower signal, or penetrate walls or other obstructions as effectively.

  • My ibook crashed and had to give it a hard shutdown and now all i get is a

    blank white screen, no os system will load, the capslock key wont light up and i tried to put in the leopard disk but i get nothing.
    any ideas?
    Message was edited by: Rubotron

    Hello,
    You are trying to install Leopard? ARe you sure your iBook meets Leopard minimum requirements?
    Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    512MB of memory
    DVD drive for installation
    9GB of available disk space
    Your profile indicates you are running 10.2. Is this correct? If so, you need to use your restore disk and check the boot disk for errors.
    Restart your Mac while holding down the C key, pressing the power button and inserting your restore disk all at the same time. An Installer window will open, but do not proceed with any installations. Instead, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities > Disk Utility. In the Disk Utility window click First Aid, and then click Verify. If Disk Utility reports errors, click Repair. When Disk Utility is finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
    Also, if your iBook meets the minimum requirements for Leopard, you need to make sure you have sufficient disk space to install it.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.

  • Finally had to give up on time machine...

    WD My Book attached directly to the iMac kept grinding and grinding, slowing down rest of system. This was very surprising to my wife and myself considering OS X reputation. Decided finally to disable TM, do manual backups to external WD attached to Airport Extreme. We did this for years prior to TM, so until Apple can regulate TM to be reliable, dependable, and unobtrusive, it is out of the picture. Perhaps with Snow Leopard? (although I won't hold my breath.....)
    Regardless, the iMac 20" Intel (late 2006) has been quite excellent. Advice to the young and enthusiastic: keep it simple.

    Epictetus1,
    The process behind Time Machine ("backupd") will not, under normal circumstances, affect your computer's behavior in any way. And there's no reason why a Western Digital external drive would present any difficulty for Time Machine, provided the drive is working as it should.
    Although some of the "Mybooks" provide a Firewire port, chances are yours is a USB model (you don't mention which, so we must make some assumptions). USB transfers do require more CPU than a Firewire connection would, so this might have something to do with your problem. This wouldn't have anything to do with Time Machine specifically, however, and the fact that your computer's performance is being affected indicates that some other problem exists.
    The most likely possibility is that you have a disk error on the drive, or perhaps you are attempting to use it while it has an inappropriate format. Maybe some combination of both.

  • I have Windows 7 Pro, 64Bit. Itunes works fine except I can't go to the ITunes store from in the software. It starts and then goes blank page. I have tried all the fixes and had a IT group working all day on this. Not fixed. Any suggestions?

    Using I Pod NANO. Installed I Tunes on Windows 7 Pro, 64 Bit.
    Software works fine. Only problem is that I can't open up the
    Store page from in the software. It just shows a blank screen.
    Looks like it starts but then just freezes.
    IT department worked all day. Reloaded software, set up
    security, checked msconfig files. Tried all sorts or revissions.
    Nothing works? Yet it works fine on my Windows 7 Home edition?
    ANYONE have a clue. This Apple software is not the friendliest!!
    This is very frustrating for something so simple to use!
    This used to work. Upgraded to 10.3.3.. No good. Tried other revisions,
    No Good! Can't purchase music or have the website fully pull up at all
    from I Tunes.
    Appreciate any help if some has been through this. My service that
    I have for IT had to give up. 6 hours of things they tried. Nothing worked.

    You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
    Have a nice day!

  • My drive recently had to be replaced with a new one installed by Apple they reinstalled all my stuff from my time machine. Most my programs had to be updated which I managed with a little help from my friends, but the last one that I can't solve is

    My IMAC OSX 10.6.8   2.8 GHz intelcore  2Duo 4GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRam recently had to have its hard drive replaced by apple thy actually had to give me a larger one because mine was no longer available,They also reinstalled all my programs and data from my 2 terrabite time machine back up. I got my system home and found that I had to upgrade most of my programs which I managed with a little help from my friends, but I still have one problem that I can't solve I have a Nikon Coolpix S6 that I have Been Syncing with my Iphoto since I've got it 3 years ago and now when I place it in the cradle the program reconizes it and says that it is going to start to import the new photos the little white wheel in the center of the screen starts spinning but nothing else happens. I checked all my connections and they are goog plus I even downloaded a nikon progam just to double check the camera & cradle and it works there but it wont pair off with my IPhoto.

    First go to iPhoto Preferences, look in both General and Advanced tabs to make sure that things are set to import from camera into iPhoto.
    Then if that doesn't help, connect the camera and open Image Capture in your Applications > Utilities folder and see if you can use Image Capture to reset the import path from the camera to iPhoto.

  • Pavillion dv6-Had screen replaced on August 22, 2012 because it went black and would not come back o

    Have a Pavillion dv6 for my teenage daughter.  We got it late December of 2011, so it's less than a year old.  On August 22, 2012, I just got it back from being repaired because the screen went black and would not come back on no matter what we did.  It came back with a teeny, tiny little black line way down at the bottom of the screen, didn't seem like a big enough problem to worry about so we kept it and she used it.  Last night when she went to bed it was working fine, today when she turned it on after getting home from school, the whole screen is a disaster---it looks like a big diagonal crack is running up the screen and it's a solid strip of color on one side and then lines and then the crack then you can see where the sign on logo is trying to run---kind of---rolling up the tiny part of the screen it is showing on.  Called customer support, which was a complete nightmare!  I used the first number that came up for hpsupport on google and it was iyogi-----could barely understand the woman on the other end, she kept having me tell her the problem over and over and over and over and telling her my name and phone number and email address and the serial number and the product number, over and over and over and over and over and over-----this went on forever---then she had me try pressing the f10 key and the power button and it gave 13 beeps and would go off, she had me put the phone up so she could hear that happen 6 times.  Then finally she says it;s a hardware problem and she will transfer me over to harware support after trying to sell me software protection that I don't want.  She transfers me, I get an automated system and damned if I don't get rolled right back to the same Indian woman and she starts me from scratch like she hadn't just talked to me 4 minutes before that-----I was furious!  I told her I had already been on the phone with her and told her all this information and she still had me give it to her 3 more times then said she would put me through to hardware support.  I spent 1 hour and 25 minutes on the phone total and almost all of it was with this woman that had no clue and barely spoke English.  Why?  I live in the USA, I bought the product in the USA, why can't I speak to customer support in the USA?  Why do I always have to talk to someone that I have a language barrier with?  Why do they always make me do the same thing over and over and over and keep me on the phone over an hour?  It was the same way in August when it needed repaired, I was on the phone that night 1 hour and 10 minutes.   Is the goal to get you to just forget it and go buy a new one?

    adobe starter edition has photo numbers by the picture such as DSCO0283.JPG , where can I find that number on the pictures in PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12--reason being that photoshop elements will not convert my catalog to version 12. If i had that number I could manually rebuild my collections into the photoshop elements 12, but all that i see in photoshop elements is dates and i have multiple pictures from the same dates. HELP! I

    finally getting back to this project---adobe starter edition 3.2 is on a windows XP computer
    ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 is on our Windows 8.1 computer.
    error messages--- had to give up trying to convert---I copied all our pictures to our windows 7 laptop and I installed adobe photoshop elements 12 (my bought program)
    I wanted to try to convert there first. also I copied our catalog to this computer also. Everything was working fine I could see the collections just as they where on the XP computer.
    then I tried to convert on the laptop. I believe the error said something about corrupt file, so I gave up that day. Next day I tried to open ADOBE STARTER EDITION 3.2  and it wanted an unlock code, no such code exists. and my copy of Elements 12 turned into a trial version which has expired. So I am a little hesitant to try to convert on the XP  computer and mess up the existing catalog,
    unless there is a fool proof way. I have tried manually making collections/ albums on Windows 8.1 and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12  and coping pictures into the new albums. sloooow!!
    I probably have about 4500 pictures and 150 collections/ albums to go. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • What is up with the iPod nano 7th gen.  I just had a second one die. with both after only 3 weeks of useage?

    what is up with the iPod nano 7th gen.  I just had a second one die.  both after only 3 weeks of useage... both dead since Jan 10th 2013.

    this is an answer I just gave to someone else.
    i'm going to ask you to try something I just did to fix a maybe simular problem that worked..... but I don't know why yet........make sure your iPod in plugged into your computer (mine is a Mac) and iTunes is turned on. My iPod  was  also "dead" but had been plugged into my computer for a couple of hours (but not lit up in any way).  Then (in desperation) I held down all the buttons, the on/off (on top right), the small Home botton at the bottom of the face, and the volume/pause buttons (left side).  For whatever reasons my iPod came back to life in a needs restoring mode ....and asked me to restore it in the itunes like "new'  iPod connected mode.  Since I have a Mac I also had to give permission to do a download by entering my computer password. If you have to do the same have that password ready. Then it did a restore software download.  Everything previously on the iPod was erased and had to be re-synced,  but I was just thankful to get it up and restored again.
    Give this a shot and I hope it works for you.....but  why? I don't know yet, I need more questions answered.

  • Screen Name entry broken had to register new account

    The new screen name feature is broken.. It either said screen name in use or it would not accept anything when I entered something new it's damn well broken!  This needs fixed I had to create a whole new account just to be able to get logged on to this forum.

    Same here. Had to give up my Adobe account for this.
    Screen gets stuck asking for a screen name (forever). Only responds if you pick one already chosen.
    Clearing cookies doesn't help. Setting cookies allowed everywhere doesn't help. Switching browsers doesn't help.  Definately a bug in the signin for old, existing accounts without screen names.

  • How can i get music to another account?

    I had another account with apple with was [email protected] but i had to give that one to my boyfriend cause i gave him my old my ipad and he didnt have a email account so i let him use that one which i had bought so ablums on that account and i had to have dell restart my whole comp just a few days ago and now i cant get the ablums i bought on the other account onto my new account with my iphone what can i do to get that fixed?

    Content acquired with an Apple ID is permanently tied to that Apple ID.  There is no way to transfer media from one Apple ID to another.
    For what silly reason would anyone give away their Apple ID?  Just because the bf did not have one is no reason to give him your Apple ID.  Make him create his own.  Email addresses from Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail and many others are free.

    Hi
    1. Deleting a domain will not hold any references. But make sure that under your user_projects/applications also remove the folder that matches with your domain. Basically under user_projects folder you will see 2 folders named applications and domains. When you create a domain say mySoaDomain, it will crate a folder with the same name under applications folder also with few files like em.ear. If you do this, then you can crate a new soa domain and use the same old name.
    2. NOW comes the most important thing. If you create a new SOADomain, at one point, you had to give details for soainfra and mds schemas. If you give your current existing db details (that was used for your old deleted domain), then you may still have the issues. Because the soainfra db may still have the instances for your old process.
    3. If you really want to have a full clean soa domain, here is what you do:
    a) Run rcu and drop the existing schemas for soainfra and mds.
    b) Run rcu again and create above schemas again.
    c) Now create SOADomain using config wizard and refer above clean rcu db and you are all set.
    3. Under your domain root folder, just searh for files named with your workflow and you should see the .jar location.
    Thanks
