I need to move my Audigy2 sound card to another PCI slot and...

Hello everyone , hope everyone is doing well today. (and everyday!)
As the topic says I need to move my PCI Audigy2 card down slot , got a new BFG 6800 Ultra and need to make some room.
My question is how should this be done with as little trouble as possable , I really want to (if possable) avoid at all costs an XP reinstall.
I think if I try to remove the card through DM then shut down and move the card to another slot and then start the PC (I have my BIOS set to plug and Play OS) it should detect it and reinstall it in the other slot. But with IRQ problems being what they are , all that should be sometimes isn't.
I have once before tried to remove all creative drivers , then uninstall the card and move it to another slot on another system (NForce chipset) and wound up doing a major reinstall because it would not see the card , but I have an ASUS K8V SE Dlx (VIA Chipset) now and it seems to be a more trouble free board than Nvidia.
Well thats about all I have for now , if anyone has ever doen this before I would really appreciate any help/tips before I take the plunge.
thanks ,
SC

Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
Install iTunes on the new computer.
Launch iTunes on the new computer. Everything in iTunes will be exactly as it was on the old computer.

On-board sound card failing. Will BIOS let me add a sound card into the PCIE slot?

On-board sound card failing, consistently locking everything, (yes, I updated all drivers, codecs) so want to put in new sound card. Will the BIOS let me add a sound card into the PCIE slot? (of course after disabling the ReakTek onboard sound) I don't see an option to choose PCI or PCI-E in the setup screen (F10 at boot) for audio.

So the answer to my question is yes - from an old Exchange account that was provided by a previous employer.
If so, you can't.
You can't merge or transfer contacts that were synced over the air with an Exchange account with another account, and the same for syncing the contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer. This is how most employers want it.

Use the Organizer backup & restore method, starting the restore from the TLY file. Probably best to use a custom location as the XP file structure will be different. See this link for further help:

Won't really see a video card in the PCI slots

I have a G4 MDD 1.23 GHz. I have a 32 MB video card in the AGP slot, but I also have 2 PCI 128 MB video cards lying around.
Every time I try to throw a PCI video card in, though, I have problems. The image is only 640 x 480 grayscale, nothing else. I tried to change the settings, but those are the only options.
I have a 3DFX Voodoo 2 and a TwinTurbo 128. Do I need drivers? Does the MDD not support video cards in the PCI slots? What's wrong with this picture?

For what it's worth, here's a few quotes:
[IX Micro Twin Turbo 128 video card, and I understand that OS X does not like that particular card|http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg43189.html]
[The TwinTurbo cards are no longer supported by OS X (10.3).|http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-30258.html]
[Just think of this along the lines of 3dfx's unsupport for the Voodoo3 on Macs.|http://www.insidemacgames.com/news/story.php?ArticleID=4213]

Graphics card on secondary PCIe slot PUE 975X

I changed my graphics card slot to the secondary PCI express slot. But now none of my operating systems will boot correctly with the nvidia graphics driver. Only when set on failsafe mode or vesa drivers (linux), is the only way to render the desktop environment. Is there any way to have my graphics card on the 2nd slot and for it to work correctly? I am using a Nvidia Geforce 6800GS.

You are right. Using the 975X PUE, you can use 2 nVidia cards in the PCIe 16X slots(they will run at 8x) and should be able to be used with 3 monitors. The 2 slots can be used in a crossfire configuration(2 ATI cards);ATI's answer to SLI. Using nVidia cards, you should be able to use 2 PCIe cards and get the 3 monitors since they obviously would not be in crossfire(and not in SLI since the board can not do SLI). Your PCI card is an ATI chipset and the PCIe card is nVidia. Since you have both nVidia and ATI drivers installed and being used, I think you maybe getting a conflict (which is likely causing the issue). If you had PCI nVidia card, it might work.
When cards are in Crossfire or in SLI mode, only 2 monitors will be supported. If SLI or Crossfire is disabled, you should be able to get up to 4 monitors. See if you can borrow your friends nVidia card and try it out. I would advise you to uninstall any ATI drivers. You are going to need an additional nVidia card(PCIe or PCI).

Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?

Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original? The cut and paste function is not available and there's no "move to" function. Am I missing something? It was so easy with Windows.

Drag the files, or press Option when pasting them; this accesses the Move To function.

HT2452 I accidently pushed a photo card into the CD slot and can't get it out. Any suggestions

I accidently pushed a photo/video card into my CD slot and can't get it out. Any suggestions?

If you can Mark, take your iMac to an Apple Store or Apple certified repair provider.
IMHO, better to let Apple take care of this then inserting anything else in the slot that may damge the optical drive.

I drop my card in the large slot and it will not come out. help

I drop my card in the large slot and it will not come out

There are lots of videos on YouTube on methods people use to retrieve them. If you are strong enough to lift the computer then try shaking it on it's side, obviously make sure it's unplugged before doing so.

Equium M70: I need a name of the sound card

I have a toshiba m70 equium and i have now bought a creative notebook sound 5.1 soundcard.
I need to know the current name of the sound currently on the laptop before I install the new one.
CAN ANY ONE HELP ME?
THANKS

Hi
You posting is also for me a little bit confused.
If you want to know the sound chip installed on the motherboard why you dont check it yourself?
You can find the soundcard details in the device manager
I dont know exactly what Equium M70 you mean but some notebooks supports an Realtek ALC 250 AC97 sound card.

"A How-To" on the steps to FIX the Problem of NO Sound Card DETECTION with AUDIGY 2 and Win XP

Note#: When restarting the PC each time, shut off the main power switch on the Power Supply then back on.
Note#2: You will need the Windows XP CD WITH the SP2 on it or have the download SP2 Install file from MS on your PC. I have it on CD.
. Remove the sound Card
2. Use the Removal/Un-installation Procedures for the drivers in Knowledge Base Under Windows XP Step by step. Restart to get all the files deleted in the Creative folder if necessary.
Here is the (Solution ID#) for the Uninstallaion found in the Creative.com Knowledge Base: SID72 "How to uninstall Sound Blaster drivers and applications?"
Alternati'vely, Click on the Sound Blaster Picture Box under the Knowledge Base Main Search Page and the article should be in the resulting list.
3. Use the DCProSetup_.exe from http://files.trunetworks.com/utilities/
Use it carefully Selecting [Creative] then Check the box for Muntiple Cleaning Filters, and remove the Creative Audio Drivers by Clicking on Start.
4. Go into the Registry by Typing Regedit in the Start>Run.. Menu
Navigate and remove the Entry for CTCMSGo.exe, it is running in the back ground otherwise and i believe it interrupts the re-installation of MediaSource Files.
HKEY_CURRENT USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
The file link/tag, it will be on the right half of the screen, Delete it. CTCMSGo.exe=(Creative Technologies Media Source Go)
5. Restart the PC, dont forget to switch Power Supply to off while powered down and on before powering back up.
6.Go to the Win XP SP2 CD or the file downloaded, select re-install but choose UPDATE, not New Installation. Let the Install run and update your pc, this procedure has no data loss or settings changes in Windows.
7. Restart PC
8. Turn off PC and install the Audigy 2 Card. Then turn on the PC. At this point you might get a plxcore.plx Error of file missing. Not to worry.. copy the file from within the Creative Drivers CD and paste it into the Creative Folder In C:\Program Files\Creative
The Knowledge base Article on the steps is: SID287 "Error: Program could not load because Plxcore.plx cannot be found"
9. Power up and see if you get PCI Device, and Audio Controller Detetion. If you dont then do the following:
A) Remove the Sound Card and Re-install the Win XP SP2 Update a number of times ( I did this about 5 times until detection) Each time restart and install the Sound Card into any of the empty PCI Ports until detection.
If that does not work after a number of times try the following:
B)Power off and switch the PCI slot of the Sound Card (to all the PCI slots if necessary with complete power off each time) Without Re-installing XP SP2 Update.
0. After you get Detection, The Windows Auto Installer for Drivers will pop up..select Find Drivers Automatically, then Install then install the drivers it finds. It will put in some basic Audigy Drivers from the CD or online i'm not sure where it gets them from. Keep your Driver CD in the CD Dri've.
.Restart the PC, then install the Drivers and Media Source Files from the CD (it may not all get installed and may give an error and you have to shut down and re-install the drivers and Media Source over again and over again so it fills in the gap of missing files/drivers until it all works without deleting the previously installed parts).
2. Only install this update from the File/ Downloads Section on the Creative website: EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe Dated 29 July 04. The new beta one that was released is what started all my troubles, so plz i urge you to wait for it to be official.. unless you really want to test it out at your risk.
And there you have it.. in 8 Hours and some ideas from friends and relati'ves concerning detection problems of other hard ware they have had i decided to play Roulette all night and this combo works. I had to play Roulette switching the PCI slots (5 of them), and then towards the end play Roulette with the Creative Driver CD install... until they all work perfectly. WHEW!!!
Notice: I hope if you are really ticked off at having no sounds and want to try this at your own risk and responsiblity go ahead, and I wish you luck. None of the proedures are too out of the ordinary. I dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me and maybe it will possibly for other similar Sound Cards as well.. like ZS or Li've! etc. with similar problems. Happy Sound Blasting!!!

Thanks for pointing that out, it was not apparent on the day i used them and wrote the How-To. The links have been replaced with the SID# (Solution ID #) and the title given for the Article.

Internal sound card suddenly not recognized (laptop and desktop)

Both systems run Arch.
A week or so ago, my laptop decided to forget that it had an internal sound card... the bluetooth headset and usb sound card still seem to work just fine... but the built in card has disappeared from the system completely. This morning, I was listening to shoutcast on my desktop when I left the room... I come back to complete silence and vlc (which had been playin shoutcast) was no longer running. So, I started to play some local music via Rhythmbox... no sound... I open my mixer, the internal sound card is gone! The only instance I can seem to find it is if I run Alsamixer via the commandline (have not tested this on the laptop yet, was planning to troubleshoot that before the end of the week). What information do you guys need to help me figure out why my soundcards have suddently gained amnesia? again, ALL external cards on both systems work just fine (listening to shoutcast on a USB sound card at this very moment on the desktop)...

The card is still not readable directly on the computer? Can you write to the card and read from it with the computer? What about with another device?
You need to determine if the problem is the BlackBerry or the card. If you can read the card or write to it with another device, that suggests the card. You should also try a known good card in the BlackBerry.
If the card is the problem, you could try repairing and recovering files with the computer first, and then format the card and test. If the problem continues or returns, get a new card.

I need to move settings from one computer to another

Hello All,
After a computer failure, I need to move the DW CS4 settings (this may not be the best term to use, but bear with) from the dead computer's hard drive (drive works fine) to another machine.
Specifically, all the settings in Site Manager...I really don't want to enter all that in manually, as I have over a dozen sites to maintain.
Is there a way to do this? Copy a certain folder or folders, or a utility in DW?
I have a 2-bay e-sata drive dock attached to the second computer so I can access the files no problem.
Many thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
wordman

Bregent is correct about WIndows.
What I was stating is that if this is the original drive from the other computer it is a bootable drive. What you would normally do in this instance is tell the OS that you want to boot from the remote drive and not your C:/ drive in the working computer. On a Mac this can be done by holding down the option key on a restart ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1310 ). Then you are prompted to select the disk you want to boot. I believe Windows has a similar feature usually using the F keys on startup. Another way to think of the booting from other drives is that normally the BIOS will look in the USB or CD drive before looking at your hard drive to boot in case you were doing an OS upgrade. Otherwise, when you restarted, it would ignore the CD/USB installation and go straight to the hard drive.
If you are on a Mac I know the files are in the Library somewhere, but I don't know the exact filename and I can't find a KB article pointing to what you should be looking for. But if you are doing this I would be selective and only look for the Adobe and Dreamweaver files and nothing else.

@alki,
I understand that sound has quit working after support assistant ran a few updates.
Press Windows Key + X and select device manager. The sound card should be listed in the sound section. What status is displayed for the sound card?
What is the status of the mute key on the notebook? Does it have an amber light?
What happens if you try to install this driver?

Need to move music from one computer to another

Wondering how to move my music from one computer to another. My laptop is being replaced and need to move all my iTunes items from here to a desktop. What is the best/most cost effective way to do this? TY

It is very easy. First get something to transfer your itunes file to the laptop (network$, thumb drive$$ (depending the size), external hard drive$$$ with cost of drive and plus a case it can be costly). Those are in order of slowness! After all those files are on the desktop download itunes. DO NOT download itunes first you will be begging for trouble. Open itunes and it will take a few seconds and it should find the file on it's own. Now all you need to do is sign into itunes agree to all the fun stuff and there you go. I did mine with an external Sata hard drive via esata and it could not of been easier. To find the file you need go into music/my music and find the big file named itunes. just copy and past and let er rip.
Good luck
