New console launcher - NOT SAVING SETTINGS (Vista x

wtf. new console launcher version is not saving my settings.... speaker settings.. volume etc.. everytime i? reboot its back at default.
I have:
reinstalled console launcher. did reg clean / driver sweep etc.
still doesnt work. anyone?

In audio console you have a tab "restore defaults" uncheck everthing from it, this may help you as helped me long time ago and I am unchecking it since then just to be sure and never have the problem again. You can also hack Auzentech drivers and Install theirs consoles it can resolve this issue but you must do this at your own as nobody can support you with info how to do this nor will I.Message Edited by Art385 on 08-06-2008 04:24 PM

Creative Console Launcher not working after Vista Ultimate upgr

I have a Dell XPS700 with the Creative SB X-Fi soundcard and fi've speakers. Surround Sound for MP3, WAV, TV etc Was working great under Win XP Pro SP2. Now, I can't seem to configure the rear speakers. When I go to Start - All Programs - Sound Blaster X-Fi - Creative Console Launcher, I get a "The console for the current mode of your audio device cannot be launched." message and I cannot select the Entertainment Mode.

Actually, you need to/should update your drivers (Creative *has* Vista-ready drivers for the X-Fi, including a new Audio Console). The only cards that Creative does *not* have Vista drivers for are cards *older* than the base Audigy (the only relati'vely new card affected is the Audigy SE). The base Audigy (in fact, *all* Audigy-series except the SE) has Vista beta drivers available (and a new Audio Console is part of the package).

Where are the console launcher profiles saved (x-fi)

Everytime i install new drivers, all my equalizer settings get erased. and i have equalizer profiles for each band..
does anynone know where these are stored on win7 64bit, or any OS. I kind of want to back them up
thx in advance for any help

Since this was a question I had too, and Google brought it up as the 1st hit for the search parameter "creative console launcher where equalizer settings saved", I thought I'd post the answer for future reference.
Using Win 7 Pro x64
Look here:
C:\ProgramData\Creative\CADI\Preset
For this data file:
PCI_BUS1102-5-2C1102-EC00U{1}.PCI+VEN_1102&DEV_0005&SUBSYS_002C1102&REV _00+4&1B00B4D9&0&484.dat
I found that when I created a test preset called EQ Test, saved it, and then exited CCL, the Date Modified stamp changed to the current date and time.
That's more than likely the file to backup so you don't have to re-enter EQ settings. Like a lot of you, this issue has been driving me nuts when you have something tweaked just right. Creative Labs UI developers need to think a little harder when creating these types of programs.

MSI GT70 not saving settings

Hello, I have a new GT70 2oc-008us and when I purchased the laptop I also bought a Samsung 840 120gb ssd and I installed and migrated the OS myself. Everything else works fine like games but I have this weird issue with non of the MSI installed programs saving their setting after a shutdown. For example, the killer network manager is not saving the setting in which it shows the dialog on close or auto updating which is kinda annoying and the sound blaster cinema is not saving settings like when I plug in my headphones it goes to 5.1 surround instead of headphones or when I play around with the equalizer or the surround sound option to optimize movie or gaming experience. This is quite annoying because I play a lot of games and watch a lot of movies and I do not like constantly changing my settings. So if you know of a solution to my problem could you please help me out?
Thank you

For the toolbar problem delete the com.apple.Safari plist from Home/Library/preferences. To have a link open in a new tab you must command-click on the link and have the appropriate box checked in Safari>Preferences>Tabs.

X-Fi Audio Console Launcher not in system t

Since my new install of Windows, I can't get the Console Launcher for my X-Fi Elite Pro in the system tray anymore. On my previous install it was there from first install, even after updating the software and drivers, but now it seems to have dissapeared. I'm really disappointed as this (for me) by far the easiest way to change mode and/or entering the console for settings editing. I tried to update the drivers, but no luck... it's still not back. It seems like a fairly easy problem to fix, but I can't find any option to check/uncheck system tray icon availability. Can anyone help me out on this one? How can I get the system tray icon back in the system tray? Thanks in advance!?By the way, I'm running Windows XP Pro UK with the latest X-Fi Elite Pro?drivers and onboard HD Audio disabled in the BIOS. Software of HD Audio is also removed.

Mine hasn't been resetting....so far. I know mines a Fatalty but sw wise it should be same for all the cards. The only thing I can think of is that it has something to do with option for syncing with control panel. I have that option unchecked in the creative mixer speakers tab. Maybe try disabling it if its currently enabled and see if that stops the resetting. No idea if it will help but thats the only thing I can think of, can't hurt to at least give it a shot.
Hope it helps

Lion not saving settings, iTunes not working, iPhoto not repairing

having a ton of issues and not sure if it's upgrading to Lion, updating iTunes or something else causing the problem.
When I'm logged in as the main user getting a ton of problems including;
1) no matter which box I check or uncheck or which windows I close before shutting down, every time I log in as my usual user it opens about 20 windows including about 6 files in Excel which I've already closed, said I wanted to delete (they were recovered), etc. Other windows that open are firefox, settings, a video I started watching about a month ago, etc
2) applications are frequently crashing
3) nothing will synch with itunes. I plug in the iphone, ipad or touch and it recognizes that it's there and then proceeds to do the rotating rainbow thing for ever (I've tried leaving something plugged in overnight) or until I force quite
4) iphoto indicates that the library needs repairing - repairing does nothing, rebuilding does nothing, repairing permissions does nothing, removing and reinstalling does nothing.
5) most settings are not saved. things like changing the Login Items, 'Restore Windows when quitting...' option do not save but things like file sharing options does save.
what I've tried that didn't work;
1) reinstalling Lion
2) reinstalling itunes
3) reinstalling iphoto
4) reinstalling itunes with iphoto removed
5) tried quitting applications with option-command-Q (they still reopened when I re logged in)
5) also tried to manually delete the 'saved application states' but can't get to the folder (can find the library folder but it says the saved application states folder does not exist)
the only thing that works is setting up a new user and logging in there. Most of the problems seem to go away but all my files, itunes library, etc are under my other user.
so, anyone have any ideas? if not, is there an easy way to transfer all my files, itunes library (hopefully including playlists!), etc?
Thanks for any help!

Sounds like something malicious or malfunctioning in your user.
What you can do is use the Grouping or other tag feature to tag all your songs in certain playlists, this will apply to the song file itself.
For instance I have music grouped like this:
Popular 00's Medium Hits
Popular 90's Hard Hits
Classic Rock 80's Very Hard Hits
Blues 70's Medium Hits
So I can create Smart Playlists containing the keywords in the Grouping.
No you don't have to go through all that. Something to think about in the future when you switch machines or need to transfer to another user.
You can simply transfer your entire iTunes folder into the Music folder of the new user via the Users/Shared folder, open a copy of the
iTunes Music Library.xml
In TextEdit or another text program with "find and replace" ability.
Change all instances of your old user name with the new one, save and relaunch iTunes, it will load this file and have the correct pathname/user to locate your files so the playlists remain intact.
Once your up on the new user, delete the infected or corrupted one, as that what it seems to be occuring.

ITunes not saving settings

Every time I start iTunes after a reboot, the "first-time" wizard pops up, and my settings are not saved. I have tried to unset the Application Data folder from Read-Only, and I have tried deleting both of the .prefs files. This seems to happen every time I install a new program or modify the registry in any way. How can I fix this problem?

Any help?

Bridge not saving settings.

I am using Bridge with CS4 and have the following minor but irritating problem.
Bridge does not save the current settings such as last folder used or screen view settings when the computer system is shut down.
These setting are saved during periods of opening and closing bridge while the computer remains powered up but are not saved (presumably to the registry) when the computer is powered down.
I am using Windows XP / service pack 3
I presume that there is an entry in the system registry that needs editing. I would appreciate if anyone with knowledge of a solution for this problem would assist me.
TIA
Roy Berger

Thank you for the information, it is most helpful.
Of course you are correct about me having bridge set to "autoload on
startup". It will look into closing Bridge before shutting down.
Appreciate the prompt reply,
Regards, Roy Berger

Windows 8 not saving settings

I have a problem with Windows 8 Pro.
Basically, it doesn't save profile settings, for example, created docs, desktop personalisation, log on window personalisation, etc.
So every time I log off or shut down the computer, all settings are reverted to default, like a fresh install.
Even the setting of Other Software's are also not saving, for example, when i change settings of media player's and restart my pc its reverted to default. Even the download history of Internet Download Manager is also reverted back when i shutdown.
Thanks for your help in advance!

I suspect you installed any third party software which restores the previous state. Please check that.
If the computer is in domain environment, please contact IT stuff if there is any group policy to perform the restore.

Battery not saving settings in Logic

Anyone else having trouble saving settings in Battery?
Here's an example of the problem:
1. Open Session1 in Logic (X or 9), open an instance of Battery, open a kit (e.g. 909 Detailed Kit), save, close.
2. Open Session2 in Logic (X or 9), open an instance of Battery, open a kit (e.g. Reggaetoni Kit), save, close.
3. Open Session1 again, Battery reverts to Reggaetoni kit (from the last open session, instead of the current session).
Am I missing something obvious? Could this be a Battery bug? I have searched the interwebs for some info on this, and I seem to be the only one with this issue.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Maybe you missed previous posts.
Omnisphere is not compatible with Logic's Preset Settings feature. (Both in L8 and L9). The last Omnisohere update fixed a few bugs but not all. For one thing, when you save a patch, Omnisphere will automatically turn on Stack mode, which could completely change the sound if it had Live mode on.
There was a response from some Spectrasonics guy here on the forum who promised a fix, but given the track record of Spectrasonics lately, I wouldn't get my hopes up to high:
* Atmosphere/Trilogy Wrapper disaster (aka unusable)
* Omnisphere compatibility issues with Logic
* Strange Delay of Trillion (death of the shipping person two weeks before the release date causes a 4 month delay???)
Too bad that they still produce the best sounding plugins on the market so it is hard to avoid them.

Console Launcher not opening

Lately i've been having this weird problem with my X-Fi Forte and i have no idea why this is happening.
When i try to open Console Launcher, it just never opens. If i check the process list, AZCLu.exe is there but the **** thing never appears in front of my eyes. Same goes for Audio Console. It just won't open.
But if i restart the system, it will work again for some random time and then it will stop working again.
And what's even more bizarre, i can't open Windows audio settings either. I just tried right clicking on a trey volume icon and selecting Playback Devices. And guess what, nothing happens.
I know it's the Auzentech card but the chip and software is basically just Creative software with Auzentech name on it. And their forum is basically dead, thats why i'm asking here. Any idea or suggestion is welcome.
EDIT:
WTF, Playback Devices panel opened. With a 5 minutes delay. And guess what, Console Launcher opens now us well. Dahell is going on!?

Great, and now i've found the solution myself (coudln't find it before).
Link:
http://www.overclock.net/t/903497/op...evices-is-slow
Apparently AMD driver hangs the audio subsystem and then all the Creative apps also fail to start. Disabling "AMD High definition Audio Device" in device manager solves the problem. Time to report this to AMD...

Lion not saving settings, library privileges problem?

Yesterday I did a clean install off Lion after running the last 3 developer previews without any big problems.
After the clean install I started restoring data and setting back, but only what I needed !!
For example:
I restored the e-mail settings and two folders and opened the mail app.
After putting in all the password of the accounts I edit the new mail sound.
The sound would not work, also some settings in the e-mail accounts I edited would not save.
Only after I opened mail and removed the settings file and closed mail it was saved and it looks like it's saving every time.
Just now I setup iStat menus 3 and made everything as I like it in the menu bar.
But after restarting to complete a other installation the normal clock was back and the objects from iStat menus wore gone.
The are also some finder settings that will not save.
Anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it ??

Hi,
You may have solved your issues by now, but I have similar issues with iStat Menus ver 3.18. It is suppose to be Lion Compatible, but I'm finding it very buggy. I get some console errors, mainly relating to menucracker which they use. Searching around the web so other users with similar issues. The problem (at least as I understand it) is that it fails to save changes to the pref file. Most errors are seen on clean Lion installations. If you upgrade from SL, it will generally work. I've sent them some error reports, but have heard nothing back.

GNOME Not Saving Settings

Hi all,
Been a Linux user for 4 years and decided to install Arch. Must say, I'm very impressed!
But a few things have got me puzzled and the main one is that Gnome doesn't seen to be remembering my settings nor do I have the "shutdown" menu under "System".
Here is my /etc/inittab:
# /etc/inittab
# Runlevels:
# 0 Halt
# 1(S) Single-user
# 2 Not used
# 3 Multi-user
# 4 Not used
# 5 X11
# 6 Reboot
## Only one of the following two lines can be uncommented!
# Boot to console
#id:3:initdefault:
# Boot to X11
id:5:initdefault:
#rc::sysinit:/etc/rc.sysinit
#rs:S1:wait:/etc/rc.single
#rm:2345:wait:/etc/rc.multi
#rh:06:wait:/etc/rc.shutdown
#su:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin -p
# use once instead of wait
rc::sysinit:/etc/rc.sysinit
rs:S1:once:/etc/rc.single
rm:2345:once:/etc/rc.multi
rh:06:once:/etc/rc.shutdown
su:S:once:/sbin/sulogin -p
# -8 options fixes umlauts problem on login
c1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --autologin scott tty1 linux
#c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1 linux
c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2 linux
c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3 linux
#c4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty -8 38400 tty4 linux
#c5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty -8 38400 tty5 linux
#c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty -8 38400 tty6 linux
# Hypervisor Virtual Console for Xen and KVM
#h0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 38400 hvc0 linux
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
# Example lines for starting a login manager
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon
#x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >/dev/null 2>&1
#x:45:once:/bin/su scott -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c startx >/dev/null 2>&1"
# End of file
And here is my ~/.xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
And my ~/.bashrc
# Check for an interactive session
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return
if [[ -z $DISPLAY && $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then
startx
# Could use xinit instead of startx
#exec xinit -- /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp
fi
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
complete -cf sudo
I followed the guide on the Arch wiki for auto login and automatic X and it should be saving my GNOME settings but it doesn't.
Any help much appreciated.

The shutdown issue might be because you're using `startx` instead of `exec startx`, ck-list-sessions will probably show that you aren't authorized as a local user right now.
The GNOME settings issue could be because you ran stuff with sudo and root owns config files (so gnome can't write to them). You can can fix that with a quick `chown -R`, but there are other reasons it could be happening so imo you are better off just removing or moving the current .gnome2 and .gconf dirs and seeing if the problem persists with a fresh start.

IPhoto '11 Saved Slideshow not saving settings for individual slides

Please, need help in iPhoto '11 with Saved Slideshows. I will try rephrasing my question as I received no answers when I posted yesterday. I create my Saved Slideshow by choosing File>New>Slideshow. It then shows up at the bottom of my Source List under Slideshows. I am trying to have individual settings for each slide: timing, transition, and Ken Burns effect. I check each box in the "This Slide" menu and type in what I want. When I exit the Saved Slideshow the first two settings are saved and as I left them, but the KB box is no longer checked. It works fine when I click "Preview." I have carefully read all the forum discussions dating back to last fall and see that I am not the only one with the problem. Like others I noticed that the KB effect won't "stick" only on certain slides, mostly Landscape images. KB settings for Portrait images seem to "hold." I'm not a novice in creating Saved Slideshows. I've done this in iPhoto '08 with no problem at all. I reported this to Apple as a possible bug. I feel like there is now no way I can make the slideshow I want to burn to a DVD to share with family and view on a TV. As far as I can tell you can't do KB effects for individual slides in the latest version of iDVD without having made a Saved Slideshow in iPhoto first. Can anyone help me? I am so frustrated.

I am 99% sure that this has something to do with how NEF files work. If I understand them correctly, the original raw data is stored in one portion of the file and then versions of the file are stored within it (these are the 'versions' that you can make in NX2). The versions are just whatever mathematical transformations are applied to the raw data to get the version of the image that you want to see. It is a brilliant way to store information and many versions of photos (different sizes of crops, b/w, colour, sepia, etc...) in their highest possible resolution without taking up an inordinate amount of disk space. The raw data are huge, but each version only adds a tiny bit to the size.
The problem with iPhoto is that it can only see the raw data - not the metadata containing all of the transformations to get the edited version of the photo. This means that if you load the photos into the iphoto library as nef files and then edit them with an external editor (i.e. NX2), the files will be edited, and when you open them again in NX2 from iPhoto, then you'll see the edits, but the edited version will not be visible in iPhoto. If you work with NX2 and iPhoto (as I do), you basically need to save your edited versions of files as .jpg or .tiff and then re-import them into iPhoto. It is a bit of a pain, but I am sure that it could be fixed in a future version of iPhoto.
Cheers.
