SB Live! 5.1 Digital causing problems and bad performance , maybe wrong drive

Hi everyone,?my Soundcard is aprinted on the bill ---> ? Creative (B) SB Li've Player 5.printed on the card --->Creative?Labs SoundBlaster Li've! 5. Digital? with Emu0K-JFF chip? and Modelnumber? SB0220which I own since 2003 and my System iswinXP Media Center Edition?, msi KT4Ultra Mainboard and an athlonXP2000+ , GB ddr ram and a Radeon9800Pro with usb keyboard & mouse?I've searched this forum and those threads above the thread-list but it didn't help me out. I am concerning about the recent performance of my pc , especially when it comes to sounds in games. At?"Counterstrike .5" my pc hangs for about half a second or less if I use those "radio commands" like Go-Go-Go or Need-Backup, sometimes if other players use them. Sometimes it does those stupid things like?described below.At "Mercedes Benz World Racing" I recognized that if I hit a Sign or sth else that won't move, it plays a loud sound, as everyone can expect if u hit those things. From that on i can't control my car anymore, well, in fact I am able to, but the controls I?do with my keyboard are ... i would say "buffered" and "doubled" ---- Hit the sign -> immediately
or after that press back to reverse -> car dri'ves about 00-200 meters back, other controls I?do are added after that with delay of each about 2-3 seconds and can't be stopped. I turned down the volume of those sounds and it worked a while, but I am not allowed to increase volume of my pc, else it will go like that again. It results in minimal to zero global sound at this game... My Windows is about 4 months old and I cant find drivers for my soundcard. I've installed the drivers from my creative-cd that came together with my soundblaster. I have downloaded a few driver packages from the creative homepage in earlier times but it is always a try-and-cry to get the proper drivers installed. And?I cant remember which?I had installed?years before. That's my current?c:\windows\system32\drivers\ctaud2k.sys (5.2.0.0252-.3.020, 87,92 KB (837.548 Bytes), 27.09.2007 02:3)?I am not sure which driver?I have installed, but I don't want to?do testing anymore, aswell as searching the creative website like I did several times before, sorry, but it does make me really really really mad and angry.One driver doesn't provide the real bass and the other let's my cthelper use 99% usage, all others are not compatible to my card. Those problems occured the first time for about year or later. At the moment there are no IRQ-conflicts. Please tell me whats wrong here or help me find the right driver.
/Edit: I have to add that I am not using the digital port,?because?I do not own digital speakers, it is just?the X-230?2. system from logitech?Message Edited by BleiBill on 0-2-20070:59 PM

I have been having the same trouble since I upgraded to XP about three years ago.
Now I have a new system and like you said I want to dedicate this older mechine to being a media pc and started looking into things again.
I wanted to update drivers and see that I missed an update in July of 03 or I could use a new patch but my drivers are from march of 03 and I can't find the other update.
Come on SB where is the support we pay a premium to get.

HP ENVY 4500 creates its own SSID on my WiFi network causing problems and confusion

I am finding this problem hard to articulate clearly and I can’t find any information on the internet about why my new HP Envy 4500 printer has set itself up with its own SSID on my WiFi network, but here goes :
I bought an HP Envy 4500 all in one printer for my daughter’s room in university, which has a WiFi network with WPA security. First I tried to add this printer to the room WiFi using the printer menu, but it gave an error stating that the WPA passkey format was incorrect, when in fact it was the correct password. So instead I had to install the printer using the installation options accessed from the HP website using her laptop.
This has worked, but it has also set the printer up with its own independent SSID called ‘HP-Setup-45-ENVY 4500 Series’. This separate SSID for the printer is causing some problems and does not seem to have any useful purpose. For example sometimes documents randomly will not print from the laptop, but if you then disconnect the laptop from the room SSID and reconnect it to the printer SSID, the documents will then print, but then you have to reconnect to the room's SSID when done. This is confusing and of course completely unwanted behaviour.
Does anyone know why this new SSID called ‘HP-Setup-45-ENVY 4500 Series’ has been set up for the printer please? Can I get rid of it so that printer is simply a device connected on the WiFi network in the room please?
I hope this makes sense as this a very frustrating issue for something that should be completely straightforward.
Thanks.
This question was solved.

Your current updates are causing problems and will not install correctly how do we stop it

the security update you currently have causes problems with other software and does not install at all. Current corrections the entire pc has to be set back to a restore date to remove it

Hi;
I apologize about your not being able to reply to my response in the Payments sub-forum, thanks for re-posting here.
I forwarded your issue to a Support team that will take care of it. If you could send me a good contact phone # via email to [email protected] I will give that to the Support team so they have a few ways to contact you. Please also include the AdobeID for both accounts so they know what all to look at.
Thanks,

TM causes problem on other partition of split drive

I have a LaCie 320 d2 which is partitioned with 120GB for Time Machine and the rest for general storage. All goes well on the TM side, but the remaining partition has had problems twice now.
The symptoms are the general area being unable to accept any more data, giving the error that the current file is in use. It doesn't matter what type the file is, or how large. When it reaches its limit, it will clunk a few times and stop with an error message.
The latest time happened when I was transferring a folder containing 11GB of mixed files from my desktop to the general area. I left it to get on with it, but while I was away TM started to backup, including the 11GB folder on my desktop. This leads me to believe that TM was trying to read the file at the same time as Finder was copying it. Whatever problem it encountered was left on the HD and stops it from writing any more data.
I can't remember whether there was a similar 'double copy' scenario the first time. The problem can be fixed only by erasing the drive entirely (one partition only doesn't help) then repartitioning and restarting TM.
I do have other storage, on the network, so if the problem occurs again I will leave the whole drive as TM. I'd rather not, as a FW drive is very handy to have.
If anyone has had any similar problems or knows how the problem is caused/might be solved, please let me know.
Many thanks.

Welcome to the Apple boards.
Do you have TM set to backup the other half of the external drive? That might cause an issue.
I would suggest doing your copying right after TM ends a backup. While LaCie drives are quite good, you are really asking it to multitask if you are copying a file to it while TM is trying to backup both the original file and the one being copied. You may find that some of your files are locked and marked open which can cause problems.
Delete any files that were being copied during this process and recopy them, unless you have already deleted the original, in which case you might find it on TM, in which case you can copy the TM backup onto your internal drive and then over to the other partition after removed the bad file.

GT70 0nc GTX 670MX Driver Crashes, and BAD performance.

I purchased a gt70 ONC 494US and at first I updated all drivers and software on win 8 x64, I tried running multiple games off of steam and none of them were running smoothly, some of them not at all, (borderlands 2, arma II, fallout 3.....) I installed an SSD and a fresh version of win 7 64 ultimate, used only drivers from MSI, and still had crashes and couldn't even run a benchmark.
The only solution I have found to run a select few games, is by uninstalling ALL nvidia software and drivers, using windows default VGA drivers for the 670mx, however, this only works for a few games, and some others won't start because they don't find a capable GPU.
I have read MANY forums, most of them go through the typical, use the nvidia control panel to change the power settings, global settings, and roll back drivers to the originals. NONE of this made any difference.
I have read that there is a firmware beta ec flash? But, even the tech forum from MSI the link didn't go anywhere. I know this is a common problem, and especially with steam games. Yes, the power light turns orange, and i turn on turbo mode, I also turned on the indicator showing the nvidia gpu is being used, but games will not get past the title screen if they start at all, and the nvidia driver crashes.
Help?

Quote from: t.s.girdwood;111417
Currently I am trying the new 340.52, before this I had reset to FACTORY image with the original OEM drivers, 306.14 (I believe). For the intel, again I started with the OEM hd 4000 drivers, currently I have the may 2014 drivers, 10.18.10.3621. Before hand, no there was no error, just a frozen game I had to kill with task manager, now I am getting the error that the vram is full. Using GPU-z I see that the dedicated vram isn't even being used. Ideas?

For the game settings GeForce Experience provides, I wouldn't say it's an optimized setting but the settings only for your references.
Since the tested game environment and system configurations might be different, I'd go for my own settings in order to find the best gaming experience.
Like BlueAlexFPS said, the GTX670M has similar performance as GTX765M, it would be ridiculous to have the same performance like GTX780M. If what you said is true, then why they are they putting 780M out on the market?
I'd keep the graphics driver from MSI website, since a windows generic driver could gives you only the basic level graphics performance and not to mention without the Optimus, you wouldn't know if which graphics it's running.
*Make sure you're having battery and AC adapter both plugged while running the games.

Reporting on master data customer and bad performances : any workaround ?

Hello,
I've been asked to investiguate on bad performances encountered when performing reporting
on the specific master data zcustomer.
Basically this master data has a quite similar design that 0customer, there are 96000 entries in the master data table.
A simple query has been developed : the reporting is done on the master data zcustomer and its attributes : no key figure, no calculation, no restriction ...
Nevertheless, the query can not be executed .. the query runs around 10 minute in rsrt, then the private memory is exhausted and then a short dump is generated.
I tried to buid a very simple query on 0customer, this time, without the attributes ... and it took more than 30 sec before I get the results.
I checked the queries statistics :
3.x Analyzer Server 10 sec
OLAP: Read Texts : 20 sec
How is it that it is so long to performthe reporitng on those master data, while in the same time If i try to display the content in SAP by choosing "maintain master data", I have an immediate answer.
I there any workaround ?
Any help would be really appreciated.
thank you.
Raoul

Hi.
How much data have you got in the cube?
If you make no restrictions, you are asking the system to return data for all 96.000 customers. That is one thing that might take some time.
Also, using the attributes of this customer object, fx making selection or displaying several of them, means that the system has to run through the 96.000 records in masterdata to know what goes where in the report.
When you display the masterdata, you are by default displaying just the 250 or so first hits, and you are not joining against any cube or sorting the result set, so that is fast.
You should make some kind of restriction on other things than zcustomer (time, org.unit, version, etc, to limit the dataset from the cube, but also a restriction on one of the zcustomer attribs, with an index for that maybe, and performance should improve.

Safari 3.1 installed on 10.3.9, caused problems and proposed solution

Dear all,
I accidentally installed Safari 3.1 on my G4 10.3.9. Somehow I was confused and thought that it would run on my OS.
Wrong.
*Problems caused:*
Various programme's did not run, like, of course, Safari, Mail, Skype, Software Update. Other people have similar problems with different programme's.
Solution:
1) Download Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/
2) Download the Safari.pkg 1.2 and 1.3.1 versions
3) Run Pacifist: first install 1.2 followed by 'repair disk permissions' in disk utility
4) restart
5) run Pacifist, install via Pacifist safari.pkg 1.3.1.
*Now the follwing is IMPORTANT*
6) After installing Safari.pkg 1.2 I got the message that 1.3.1 was already installed which was NOT the case since I checked [APPLE-key]-'I' Safari and it said 1.2. I guess, but I am not a specialist, that this has caused the problem. Old files cause 'erratic' behavior.
Pacifist asks if you want to replace the Safari 1.3.1 files which are already in place. At this point you should enter 'YES'. It will install the correct 1.3.1 files.
7) after this, restart the computer, repeat the 'repair disk permissions' procedure in disk utility.
In my case it worked and all other programme's work again.
Caution: I lost my bookmarks but this has happened because I deleted the safari library files as suggested in different threads. I did not keep them in a safe place... Mail is working again, no lost data!
I hope it will work for you.
All the best,
Thom

Hi Thom
I shall try this but should I remove safari 3.1 first? I don't mind losing bookmarks - it's mail I want back most. I spoke to Apple support today and they suggested removing safari 3.1 and reinstalling the old safari which is what I guess this is but via Pacifist? Other than that they said it was archive and reinstall which I don't particularly want to try. The tech guy said he would post this as an issue to Apple.

Christine

I am working from home in virtual call center. I urgently need Firefof 5, all above cause problems and crashes. Can you please advise how I can download FF 5, it is urgent. Thank you.

I was running Firefox 5 and have been able to protect it against new versions, but now I am not being warned that there is a new version being snuck in without telling me about it.
The problem is that I work in a virtual call center from home, and the new version is creating problems I never had before.
Is there a way you can supply me with a link to FF5, and how do I protect it against new versions being installed on my machine. This is extremely important as I earn my living from the call center.
Thanks and look forward to your reply.

Perhaps you've already fixed this, but the first two links you showed us do work fine in FF and IE8, I can not say about the third link as I did not see it on your page.
Are you still having trouble with this?

After a recent update, the Bookmarks menu has an extra folder called "All Bookmarks" which appears to be a copy of the bookmarks. It is causing problems and how do I fix it?

I recently updated Firefox. The Bookmarks menu shows a new menu item called "All Bookmarks". It appears to be a copy of the bookmarks. When I try to add a new bookmark, the All Bookmarks folder is the only one shown in the dialog. I tried deleting the All Bookmarks folder, but then nothing is shown in the dialog when I try to add a new bookmark.
If I do add a new bookmark, it is put under the All Bookmarks folder and does not show up under the top-level item I want it under. Any ideas about what I can do to fix this.
The update went normally without my intervention.
Thanks

I was able to fix the problem after following the bookmark backup and restore procedures on the following page:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite#Problems_limited_to_bookmarks
I also had to restart Firefox so that the "Bookmark This Page" dialog would show the normal bookmarks.
Thanks.

Upgrade causing problems and still no extra speed

Hi BT
Apparently my area had the fast broadband updated within the last few weeks but still mine is usual rubbish speed plus I have had quite a few disconnections lately with the hub lights going out.
I have been promised time and time again that things will improve and to be patient while things sort themselves out but in 3 years they have not changed at all and BT want to still charge me the same as someone on 20 mb where is the fairness in that ?
Any help would be grateful but excuse me for being sceptical

Dups, sharing problems and lost files on NAS drive

I have been trying ot set up a "shared library" on a network storage drive. The process has been painful to say the least I have over 17k music files and 400+ audio books.
My first problem was creating duplicate files when pointing a new PC to iTunes media files. After trying multiple 3rd party software product unsucessfullly I finally bite the bullet and used the iTunes feature display duplicates feature. Because I did not want to delete compliations and greatest hits dups I had to browse dups by album and manally sort through over 7,000 songs. Took me a week to complet but I did it. The larger problem I am now facing is lost files.
I sucessfully had both compurter pointed to the same media folder and everything was working great until I accidentally selected all of my file (yes 17,000+) and proceeded to delete them. I was trying to deleted all of the songs in a album that was duplicates... I caught my error only after a few secs but I am afraid the damage is done. The weird part is the songs are still in the library in iTunes but I now have close to 5,000 missing files icons and when I look for the files in the album folder, they are missing. What is more irritating is not every song from every album is missing. so If I reimport from the original cd (I hope they are not too scratched) it creates dups of the file that are already there and I have go through and do a manual dup clean up again!!!
Anyone have a thought as to where the missing files are (they are not in the trash under deleted files).
Anyone know of a better way to share a large library between mutliple computers and iOS devices without haveing to have multiple copies to sync(i.e. Home sharing).
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Hi Rajnish,
As you mentioned "quota limit", it is set via FSRM or specific function on NAS?
Meanwhile could you confirm the number 185GB is accurate? Sometimes a part of used space is just not calculated. You can confirm with checking the total space on NAS locally.
If the number is correct and quota is set via FSRM, check if it is the Disk Quota which not re-calculated the released space. Try to clear the Quota setting and reconfig with 300GB limitation and see if issue still exists.

CS3 Licensing Agreement problem and Bad support

I purchased the CS3 Web Premium and have used to create web pages for my business. This product has stopped working 4 times! "Licensing has stopped working". #1 The first call to the support was bad, after being directed to the adobe website and given minimal instructions, the person hung up. I eventually unistalled and reinstalled it. #2 same error 2 months later, same bad support, spent over an hour on the phone without resolution. Did the install again. #3 the person was helpful and we worked through the adobe site, downloaded a fix. #4 which was 2 days later and right now CS3 is down again. I have spoken to Rose, she tried to help and emailed me info, hung-up. Sean gave me the same info and when I told him that I did it already. He hung up on me. The next person kept asking someone behind her what to do next, she passed me to a supervisor and he emailed me information. I followed that and it STILL DOES NOT WORK. I called back again and spoke to another helper, she was surprised that it did not work yet, gave me the website and hung up on me. "Licensing has stopped working" My online business needs updating and this software does not work! I have asked this to be bumped up to a manager. 3 times they said I would get a call back. Nothing yet. Is there any help out there. I plan on posting this information on every blog and website until this is fixed!!!

Welcome to Discussions Jerry - your first problem should be helped by resetting the SMU. Shut down, unplug everything from the computer, remove the power cord. Wait 15 seconds, replace the power cord, then start the computer.
Your second problem could well be faulty RAM, since most memory is sold with a lifetime guarantee, I suggest you return it to the vendor and get a new stick. You can also run Rember, let it loop dozens of times unless it immediately reports a fault, and see what it says.

Static lines problem and bad response from Apple employee

I first saw the static lines in my iphone5's keyboard and then again while opening a folder. It was only after 3 days from my purchase. The very next day I went to the Apple store of Shibuya (JAPAN) with my Japanese friend and talked the problem with Apple's employee but the response was really cold(rude, not like that of Apple store employee) Without listening to the whole thing he asked us to consult with Apple's technician in 2nd floor if we have any hardware issues and then leaved us without a single more word. It felt like an insult and then we returned back home with some bad images of Apple's employee in our mind. That was not our first visit there but definitely was first to get such a rude response.
Today once again I saw the same problem in my iPhone5. I am not sure if they will take my problem seriously or not if I visit there again. There in Silicon valley, Tim cook talks about the best customer experience in Apple store, but here in Japan we had a worst customer experience.
Tim, better provide normal customer service first than only talking about best customer experience.

ok... just an FYI, this is a user to user forum... therefore no one from Apple will ever see your complaint. You can file your complaint at www.apple.com/feedback. In the situation with your phone, you can also contact your carrier and see if they will swap the device for you. In the USA I have Sprint, and had a similar issue when the 4S was released. Apple claimed they had no fix for it. Then I went to Sprint, and they swapped the phone for me and the issue was resolved. I haven't read anything about this issue with the 5 though.

Ram Problems and Bad SWC's

Abstract
So there are lots of grate swc's tuday... But some of them are done with troubles...
On the other side AS/MXML programmers some times do not know C or do not want to dig into alchemy...
So If SWC function works but after its work some trash byte stays in your RAM... What can you do?
Problem
How to clean up ram which was occupied by function after that function has finished its work?
Example
I'm using some alchemy synchronous jpeg encoder (like here ) to convert some MXML component to Jpeg... It works Fast! it's grate I'm love in it BUT after I use that function 1000 times on 1024x1024 or any other size it fulls up all my RAM!!!(((
Code
private function CJpegWay(e:Event):ByteArray {
var bmpdata:BitmapData = new BitmapData(mySource.width, mySource.height);
bmpdata.draw(mySourceConteiner);
var timer:int = getTimer();
var ba:ByteArray = bmpdata.getPixels(new Rectangle(0,0, mySource.width, mySource.height));
var jpegBA:ByteArray= as3_jpeg_wrapper.write_jpeg_file(ba, mySource.width, mySource.height, Some.value, SomeOther.value); /* If We'll comment "= as3_jpeg_wrapper.write_jpeg_file(ba, mySource.width, mySource.height, Some.value, SomeOther.value)" no ram overflow will happen */
it.text = (" !!! C JPEG ENCODING: !!! "+(getTimer()-timer)+"ms.").toString() + " " + " jpegBA.length=" + jpegBA.length.toString();
return jpegBA;
Error

or Your RAM will be just Full or trash...
So Can Any One HELP ME and HELP ALL OF US... PLEASE...

I'm working on an AIR application which take snapshots every minutes, and I've got the exact same problem (with both as3_jpeg_wrapper.swc and jpegencoder.swc).
I'm using the Vector optimized asynchronous encoder by Ian McLean, but a working swc built with Alchemy without the memory leak issue would really be better.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

ASM and Bad performances

Hi ASM expert
Would you please give me some hints to test the speed of ASM ?
On the actual ASM 11gR1 "running on AIX 6.1 in Cluster RAC" i had to drop a schema of only 900M and it took reaaally long time.
