PRoblems between audigy2zs and 9800pro drive

I have been having a lot of trouble installing my new sound card into my system. Here is the steps I have taken. I installed windows xp pro w/sp2 integrated. I installed all mobo drivers(the onboard sound is disabled in the bios). I then installed the ATI catalyst driver latest version. Next I installed my sound card and software/driver that came with the soundcard. Now here is my problem, when I hit the equalizer on the creative taskbar(the one on the top of the desktop) it gives me an error message that it cannot find the device that that software operates. Now that doesnt sound like a big deal...but in addition to that it also causes my internet to go offline...the moment I start an application that uses hardware sound acceleration(games). Here is what I have done to try to repair this problem.
) Change the order of items installed. This is where I figured out that it was my catalyst drivers causing the creative software not to work correctly. The creative stuff wroks fine as long as the win xp default software is loaded in for my graphics card. The moment I install the updated graphics driver I loose the graphics equalizer.
2) Change the slot that the sound card is intstalled into. (I have tried them all same result.)
3) Updated drivers from creative.
4) Tried different catalyst drivers.
As a side note the only way I can get the internet to work with games is to disable the sound card in the system control panel...and onboard sound through the bios. Otherwise it will give me the boot everytime.
Also I just wanted to mention that the entire system worked flawlessly before the addition of this card. I was simply unhappy with the quality of my on-board sound. I never had any idea I woul dhave this kind of problems. Here is my system specs.
AMD 2500+Barton
Soyo KT600 Ultra platnum plus
WD 200Gig SATA dri've
gig PC3200 Corsair XMS
Soundblaster audigy2 zs platinum
Hercules prophet 9800Pro
I appreciate any help given with this problem I have never had problems like this and am somewhat lost in what to do. Thanks Ken

well, i have ahn saphire 9800pro and audigy 2 sz platinum and internet cable and never had this kind of problem, try to install the audio card on the last slot.
or try to install xp without the sp or 2.

    Facebook apparently has their site coded poorly for tablets with touch screens. Try using the Facebook app. It is not perfect either but it is better than view in a browser lately.

  • Problems between PE4 and 10

    I have a drawing that was resized to a certain length using PE4. I have now upgraded to PE10 and when I print the drawing , it prints 3-4 times  larger than what it should be. When I view the drawing, the ruler at the top of the screen shows it being the correct length and when I checked the deminsion in the resize box, it also has the correct length. Have I done something wrong or should I delete the drawing and start over from scratch?

    Could you be a little more specific please? Sorry, I am not a tech guy just a poor laymen.

  • How can I fix a problem between Firefox and my printer? When I try to print a window appears Save as ,then another saying Firefox not responding and printing does not work

    I used to be able to print correctly using Firefox as my browser,but something changed in the last month or so,possibly after a Firefox update. I`m not really sure how it happened but there seems to be a problem between Firefox and my printer. So I have been using Internet Explorer as my default so I can print. I would prefer to use Firefox again since that is where my bookmarks are. Is there a way to get the connection between Firefox and my printer back?

    '''Save as''' = sounds like you don't have your printer selected, or you have ''Print to file'' selected

    Hi Pradeep:
    Well that purely depends on the business application (project) your client is proposing. Following are very few factors which will drive for creating web-based applications:
    VC: it's a UI modeling tool (non-programming) for creating rapid creation of web-based applications.
    WD: its a powered by Java and ABAP with which you can create robust business applications.
    If your client is very choosy about rapid application development, reporting, rich user interface, to reduce TCO then VC is the choice. Or if the project contains typical integration with SAP and non-SAP systems, complex business logic development, integration with WCM systems...etc then WDJ is the option.
    If you’ve some sort of custom development with facilitating the Development Infrastructure (NWDI) then WDJ is the only option I could say.
    We hope with NW CE 7.1.1(referred by Priyanka Singh) tighter integration between these TWO tools may over come the ambiguity of using them.
    Tnx,
    MS

  • Compatability between LaCie and other drives

    Greetings Kind MacAddicts!
    I have a 160GB LaCie (Triple Threat?) FW800 external drive and have had no problems. Now I want to expand and daisychain another external drive. Thinking of a Maxtor with FW800 (more bang for the buck) and wondering if there are any known compatability issues between LaCie and Maxtor, or btw Maxtor and the new Intel processors. Suggestions?

    Well that drive inside the LaCie casing could very well be a Maxtor drive too :P
    Remember LaCie don't actually make Hard Drives, they just put drives from other manufacturers in their external casings and charge a premium.
    Yes, some of their designs look nice

  • Communication problem between NetBeans and Tomcat

    hi!
    i got a quite mysterious problem. here is what happens:
    - i start NetBeans 5.5.1 (the first time)
    - i want to debug my JSF-Project, the Debugger starts
    - After a few seconds the debugger waits for tomcat (it sais: "Waiting for Tomcat...") and tomcat starts
    - Again after a few seconds the tomcat-debugger-output sais "Tomcat startet in 3333 ms".
    okay.
    when i enter http://localhost:8084/ in my browser i get the tomcat homepage, so the server has definitely started! But nothing happens in NetBeans and nothing happens with my project....
    In the lower-right corner i see this blue working-bar that sais "deploying project" but nothing happens. The Project-Debugger-Output still sais "Waiting for Tomcat..." but nothing happens...
    And after something around 3 minutes (i guess it's a timeout) i get the error "Starting of Tomcat failed." But is HAS started, i can login to the Administration-Area in my browser!
    so i guess there is a communication problem between netbeans an tomcat. Netbeans waits for a message from tomcat but tomcat doesn't send it..or netbeans doesn't understand it.
    But the story goes on:
    When i press the debug-button a second time it takes only a few seconds till i get the message: "Tomcat server port 8084 already in use". OF COURSE! Because Tomcat has already startet and can't be stoped by NetBeans.
    i'm trying to solve this problem for 4 days now, so i would be very happy if anyone has an idea where to start/continue the search...
    thanks,
    flo.

  • Problem with Installer and DVD drive

    I am having problems with my dvd combo drive reading discs. It keeps spitting them out. More importantly, I am trying to load Adobe Illustrator CS2 and cannot get all the wat through the installation proccess. Is there a patch I am not aware of??

    You could be looking at some kind of driver corruption issue (say if that sector on your hd had gone bad, or the file was dorked somehow). Have you done repaired permissions on the hd recently?
    Do all types of DVDs fail -- music, movies, and apps? If some work and others do not, then it could be a problem with a particular app.
    It never hurts to check the cables. Insufficient data or power can cause all kinds of problems.

  • RFC Sender problem  between 46D and RFC adapter

    Hi,
    I have this simple integration scenario where I want to send data to a archiving system;
    SAP -> (tRFC) -> XI -> (MQ) -> BizTalk -> (MQ) Arch.syst.
    SAP side ***
    A Z-program using a Z func. like;
        CALL FUNCTION 'ZSD_DCF_SEND_TAG'
          IN BACKGROUND TASK
          DESTINATION 'XISYSTEM_TRFC_DCF'
          EXPORTING
            pt_filing_info = gt_filing.
        COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
    XI side ***
    Both IR and ID is configured correctly, in the development environment everything works just great. I have created a test program where I can define how many calls I will do, looping over the func. call with a commit inside the loop - 500 or more msgs are ok.
    The integration scenario is transported to quality enviroment using CMS, and the RFC sender comm.ch. is configured accordingly.
    The problem in quality ***
    When sending just 1 msg, everything is just fine, message received and delivered to MQ.
    When sending >= 2 msgs, the 1 msg is always ok, BUT all others fails due to the following from Adapter monitor;
    RFC_HISTORY
    - Error: 2006-01-19 10:55:18 CET: com.sap.aii.af.rfc.afcommunication.RfcAFWException: lookup of alternativeServiceIdentifier via CPA-cache failed for channel 'RFCSender_XI0002' (02d4d30de3593874942ed0659add0827, party '', schema 'TechnicalSystem', identifier 'Q93#120')
    - OK: 2006-01-19 10:55:17 CET: Message processed for interface ZSD_DCF_SEND_TAG
    My sending system is Q93 CLI 505 so I can understand the error, BUT I cannot understand why the RFC adapter is saying the TechnicalSystem is Q93#120 - it should be Q93#505. My Q XI has client 120...
    It seems to me that the RFC adapter is kind of confused about the sender..
    I have created a OSS message and SAP has looged on and looked into it with both a XI expert and RFC expert without being able to answer - all is configured correctly.
    - The SLD config. for bus.system Q93 is ok -
    - The bus.system in ID is showing correct vaues for
    Adapter Specific Identifiers (SID Q93, client 505)
    - Both Dev. and Qual. environment are running on XI 3.0 SP 14 latest patch, RFC component version on the SAP side is identical between dev. and qual. SAP systems
    - It doesn't matter which gw I use (Q93 gw or XI gw), the error is persistent
    - It doesn't matter if I increase initial conn, max conn.
    I have also tried to use qRFC instead, but with the same result.
    Anyone using tRFC for asynch. communication from SAP to XI seeing something similar?
    Meanwhile, I will do RFC trace on GW and RFC Adapter on AE....
    Please, do not say SP15, oss msg for FAQ RFC adapter or links to RFCAdapter config....
    best regards
    Torstein

    Hi,
    SAP Note 730870 FAQ: XI 3.0 RfcAdapter Q.no 15
    <i>Q 15: Whats wrong when the error message "lookup of alternativeServiceIdentifier via CPA-cache failed" shows up while sending a RFC call to the RfcAdapter?
    A: A RFC sender channel is located beneath a service within the Integration Directory. Within this service choose "Service" -> "Adapter-Specific Identifiers". The values in the fields "R/3 System ID" and "Client" has to be maintained with the correct values of the system, that sends the RFC call to the RfcAdapter. It normaly only makes sense to have these values filled for services of type "Business System". If maintained in SLD, this fields will be filled automaticaly for services of type "Business System" and can be updated with the button "Compare with System Landscape Directory".</i>
    - Give correct appserver and gateway service details in XI.
    - Open the service holding the RFC adapter you are trying to use. On the top menu, goto Service -> Adapter Specific Identifiers..
    Regards,
    Prateek

  • Color problems between Lr5 and other software

    I can not see where to make adjustments to get the same tones between Lr and my other software: Photoshop, Irfanview, Windows Viewer ...
    My test conditions:
    My monitor is calibrated
    ... - Export Lr Jpeg quality 85% and also tests 16bit TIFF (sRGB, Adobe rgb and prophoto)
    ... - When exporting, I checked the "add to catalog" to view the same image in Lr.
    Conclusion: Other software gives almost the same tones (some small differences due to the chosen color space) and Lr gives a much warmer picture (Raw or treated Jgeg reimported in the catalog). Will it have a preference of Lr to settle?
    Note: the direct opening of RAW file in Photoshop with Camera Raw (same engine as Lr) without special settings, also gives a duller color different image, that directly Lr.
    What is the solution?

    In general, any difference between Lightroom and other color managed software is indicative of a corrupt monitor profile. No idea about Irfanview, but Lightroom, Photoshop and Windows Photo Viewer should all display identically.
    What they all do is convert from the source/document color space to the target color space, which for display is your monitor profile. The result should be identical - that is in fact the whole point of color management. But since the source space may be different the actual conversion itself may also be different. So one conversion may go bad but not others.
    A difference between Library and Develop will have the same explanation (different source spaces; Library is Adobe RGB while Develop is linear ProPhoto).
    It also happens that different applications react differently to a bad monitor profile. It may work in one application and fail in others.
    Any software that is not color managed will simply display in the native monitor color space, which can be anything under the sun, so you can just ignore and disregard that. It won't be accurate anyway.
    So the solution is to have a valid and healthy monitor profile. Then everything color managed will display identically (save for gamut differences, but in practice that only applies if you have a wide gamut monitor. With a standard monitor any source space will have equal or larger gamut than the monitor).
    Some calibration software has been known to not follow specifications strictly at all times, so check for updated software. Or the profile can simply have become corrupt. It happens. A way to test this is to set sRGB as default monitor profile in the OS - or Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor - and see if the problem clears.

  • Using session storage between Report and Frame Driver

    I have an existing report that has a link calling a frame driver with multiple forms. I would like to make the Initial Target Frame Content dynamic based on information contained in the targeted record of the report. I am able to make this work (in basic concept) on the frame driver side, but have not been able to pass session variables from the report side. I can, of course, pass bind variables via a link from the report. Does anyone know of a way to access the parameter bind varaiables in the frame driver component using session storage or something else in order to make these variables available to the PL/Sql of the Initial Target Frame?

    Seems that session is changed during logon or even if
    web page (where the servlet is located) is refreshed!In Portal 10g (and maybe even in 9.0.2.6) the Web provider session is not lost any more when the user logs in to Portal.
    PL/SQL doesn't lost the session storage data during
    logon. But is it possible to find Java session storage
    from PL/SQL session storage?No, you cannot share the session between database and Web providers. You need to find other ways to share information between portlets belonging to different providers. You can use parameter passing, or a persistent store, such as the database.
    Java session storage doesn't use domain name or
    subdomain which are mandatory for PL/SQL session
    storage.The domain, sub-domain strings are irrelevant, as long as you can uniquely identify your session variable. For example, if you want to make sure that you have a separate session variable for every portlet instance, you should include the preference path in your domain or sub-domain. In case you want to share the session store between your portlets, don't include the unique portlet ID.

  • Sync problem between iPhone and iTunes (Music&Books)

    Hello, I have a synchronization problem between the macbook and iPhone  5S. On the macbook I've Maverik updated and also the Iphone is updated.
    First problem: the timing so long, especially at the step of applications, compared to when it was fast, applications have not changed.
    Second problem: the music, I flagged "synchronizes the selected music" but all the flags on the selected artists are missing, despite what the music is on iPhone . I tried to flag again on itunes but all song was duplicate in Iphone.
    Third problem: the books, it happens the same music.
    The problem does not occur with the photo with the ringtones and videos.
    I've tried everything from simple restart of the mac and the iPhone, checked and updated macbook, iPhone and itunes. Repaired permissions on the mac.
    What can I do?
    thanks
    Bye
    Ciao, da un po' di giorni ho un problema di sincronizzazione fra il macbook e l' Iphone 5S. Sul macbook ho Maverik aggiornato e anche il telefono non JB è aggiornato.
    Primo problema: la sincronizzazione dura tanto, sopratutto allo step delle applicazioni, rispetto a quando era veloce le applicazioni non sono cambiate.
    Secondo problema: la musica, ho flaggato "sincronizza la musica selezionata" ma sono spariti tutti i flag sugli artisti selezionati, ciò nonostante la musica è presente sull' iphone. Ho provato a riselezionarli e me li duplica tutti.
    Terzo problema: i libri, succede la stessa della musica.
    Il problema non si manifesta con le foto con le suonerie e i video.
    Ho provato di tutto a partire dal semplice riavvio del mac e del telefono, controllato e aggiornato macbook, telefono e itunes. Riparato permessi sul mac.
    Cosa posso fare?
    grazie

  • Applet font problem between linux and windows

    I just want to share my experience in several project i've taken part.
    In some projects, where all are developed under linux environment (suse 9.2),
    we use jasper report for report generation and use the web applet for our clients to print.
    They print ok in linux env, with the netscape 7.1, courier 10 font and jvm 1.4.2_06b version.
    But when accessed from windows env, with the same browser and the same jvm version, the applet and the print out are different from those of lin env. The headers and footers are missing. When the we edit/lower the header and footer size at the jasper report file, then they appears @ the window env.
    So strange that the font handling between win and lin differ (still my assumption). I'vent been able to solve this problem totally since the client must stick with one OS else the print out will be different.
    Quite dissatisfied, coz i really think i could code once the report and run it anywhere in the applet and behaves in the same way.
    Could anybody help ? T-T
    Regards,
    Albert Gan

    hi!
    this is my first post and i would like to ask if how did you create the web applet printing. im totally new to java and i dont know where to start.
    i hope that you can guide me or give me some instructions. thanks in advance =)

  • Performance problems between dev and prod

    26000 INDEX MODE: ANALYZED (RANGE SCAN) OF 'IDX_BV1' (INDEX).The row count varies greatly. But it shouldn't as the data is the same.
    Any ideas?

    From DEV you show the Row Source Operations for the query. The column named "Rows" signifies the actual number of rows processed with each step.
    From PROD you show the Execution Plan for the query; that is, tkprof was executed with the EXPLAIN option which generates the execution plan as of the time when tkprof was run. The "Rows" column in the Explain Plan output comes from the PLAN_TABLE.CARDINALITY, which represents an estimate by the CBO for the number of rows [expected to be] processed with each step.
    So, if by <quote>The row count varies greatly</quote> you meant these "Rows" columns outputs then you're are comparing actuals from a database with estimates from another. Get the Row Source Operations from both.
    "Identical data and indexes":
    1. data may be the same, but it is not necessarily stored physically the same way.
    2. Indexes being the same means their definitions are the same; again, physically they are not necessarily identical
    In other words, data in PROD (the way it is stored on disk) may have evolved as a result of discrete deletes/updates/inserts ... in DEV it could be, for example, stored more compact if you took a copy of PROD and moved into DEV. So, the number of blocks for your segments will likely be different between PROD and DEV, the clustering factor for your indexes are likely different, etc ... things which could [and do] influence the CBO. The statistics may be different.
    I guess what I'm saying is ... it is quite hard, if not outright impossible, to get two identical databases/instances/load ... hence, don't expect the executions to be 100% identical, even if you have "identical data and indexes". By all means compare between DEV and PROD (make sure you compare the same thing though) and use the observed differences as an indicator for further investigation ... don't chase the goal of 100% identical behavior.
    Now, by all means look at that query taking 1 second in PROD ... I have only addressed <quote>The row count varies greatly. But it shouldn't as the data is the same.</quote>
