SB Live with XP Pro (SP2) causes problems with no sou

Ok, my computer rs relativley "old". It's a gateway from about... 2000, with a Pentium IV, .3 Ghrz, NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 video card, and I'm not sure exactly what sound card it is, I think it's SB Li've! 24-bit... or whatever came standard with these gateways from back then. Now, for some reason, after I reformatted my comp and put XP pro with SP2 on there, SB Li've doesn't work. It worked fine on XP pro without SP2 (except for the devldr32.exe thing, but I fixed that). I put the CD in, say to install it fully, then a message comes up saying that there is no CD... after auto-playing off of it! So I hit continue and the message popped right back up, so I hit cancel and it continued with the installation. I chose to restart the comp now, and I heard the sound of windows logging off, so I assumed it was working. But then when it came back on, my taskbar wouldn't some up all of the way and there was no sound. I right-clicked on the taskbar and chose to view quick launch and it popped up, but I couldn't adjust the length of the quicklaunch section, even when i unlocked it, the right border thing wasn't there. It is very irritating and I couldn't find any drivers that would help this. Anyone know what's wrong? I would e-mail for support, but I highly doubt the warranty is still good. I would be EXTREMELY thankful for anyone who could even lead me in the right direction. Thank you.

And, you can be certain it's not a Li've! 24-bit. They didn't make them back then! It's either a Li've! 5. (probable) or a Li've! 4. (unlikely if the computer was really manufactured in 2000).
You can try removing anything that was possibly added by your using the cd, then letting XP install its nati've driver for it. I would download DriverCleaner from driverheaven.net. If there's nothing in Add/Remove Programs (as there probably isn't if your attempt to install the cd version of the driver (provided by Gateway?) failed before finishing), then go into device manager and remove anything related to the card and reboot to Safe Mode and run DriverCleaner. Delete the Creative Folder in Program Files that your cd probably made. Reboot and let XP install its driver. Reboot again.
That's probably the best your going to get if Gateway didn't update the Creative software for SP2. You could attempt to install the Li've Uni-Pack stuff from the download section here, but it might or might not work on the OEM card you have. If the software on your Gateway/Creative cd had problems then your probably going to just be able to use the nati've Windows XP driver. You will still be able to adjust your settings with the Windows audio controls, but won't be able to use Creative software.
You would need to contact Gateway to see if they really don't have a package for this. Did you check their website for updates for your model?

  • SB Live! WinXp Pro SP2 probl

    I installed my old SB Li've! card in my new system (Athlon64 3500+, MSI K8n Neo2 Platinum). Windows recognized the card and installed its own drivers, I reboot and everything is working properly. I install the Li'veDRV-pack driver pack, which seems to go OK, I reboot, I hear part of the log on sound and then the sound cuts out. Then there is no sounds comming through the card. The creative diagnostics list everthing as a pass, and the speaker test work, but I get no sounds from windows or any applications.
    I have tried to uninstall and reinstall to no evail. I think this is an SP2 issue but there is no obvious error to go on.
    Any ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated.
    Mike

    Mdidonato,
    Try this:
    Go to Control Panel/Systems, then go to the advanced tab. On here there will be a button for performance Options, click on this. In here there should be a tab for Data Execution Prevention. Set this to "turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select". You will now want to add the CThelper program to the list in here, it is typically located in c:\windows\system32. Then reboot the system and see if you get sound.
    The DEP error is caused by a feature on your processor called "Enhanced Virus Protection (AMD)" or "Enahanced Disable Bit (Intel)" or NX (No eXecute) Bit in non-trademark speak. This is a new way to prevent buffer overflow exploits from effecting your system, however it can have some drawbacks. Let's see if disabling this helps us fix the problem.

  • 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.

    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.

  • If I install the update to Adobe Reader 10, will that cause problems with Acrobat Pro 9?

    Firefox (version 15.0.1) is telling me I need to install an update to Adobe Acrobat 9.4 in order to view pdf files in my browser. I use Acrobat Pro 9. The update is actually Adobe Reader 10, and I am wondering if I install this, will it cause problems with my version of Acrobat Pro?
    Because I am not sure if this is so, I have temporarily disabled the plug-in and now pdf files download automatically rather than display in my browser. I would prefer they open in my browser but do not want to upgrade to Acrobat X.
    My OS is Windows Vista. I did not include the "troubleshooting information" file because I'm not sure what specific info is being requested.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Simple networking problem XP Pro SP2 wireless 10.4.3 (mac mini)

    Hi all
    I wish to set up a wireless network between my new mac mini and a laptop running windows. I need some help with IP settings I think...
    Initially I'd like to get bidirectional filesharing working. Eventually I'd like to share internet from mac OSX to laptop XP.
    mac has OSX 10.4.3 , 1.5GHz , 1GB , airport option
    laptop has XP Pro , SP2 , 802.11b/g , 10/100 ethernet
    I've been able to share dial up internet from the laptop to the mac via an ethernet cable, and also get filesharing working in both directions with a physical connection.
    Wireless is the problem.
    The mac is connected to a dynalink DSL modem/router identifying as 192.168.1.1. The mac ethernet IP is set to use DHCP and sets itself up as 192.168.1.2 using 192.168.1.1 as a router. Both on subnet 255.255.255.0. Mac broadband internet works fine.
    I think I need to know IP details to configure the mini's inbuilt airport to wirelessly network with the laptop. For example, should I set the TCP/IP manually, or DHCP with manual address, or what? And to what address?
    I think I also need to know what IP settings to configure the XP wifi card with. For example, can I tell the card to use DCHP or will I need to set it manually?
    I can get the XP box to connect wirelessly to a secure network I create with mac--so I don't think it's a WEP key issue--but I can't get pings through or create shares in either direction--prolly cause the IP settings are all wrong...
    If I try to share the internet from "built in ethernet" to "airport" then the XP can't connect wirelessly at all.
    I know the laptop card is physically OK because it functions okay at work (well it did until I screwed up the settings).
    Sorry to be so clueless.

    Thanks for the suggestion--didn't work, but I'm not confident that I'm fully understanding what you are recommending... to recap
    I have on Mac mini
    router: 192.168.1.1 sub 255.255.255.0
    ethernet: 192.168.1.2 sub 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 (set by "use DHCP" , ip tossed by router)
    airport: ??can't figure out what to use??
    On laptop
    802.11g card , "use DHCP", connects at work
    You are saying set the mac mini airport card to
    192.168.X.X sub 255.255.255.0
    I tried 192.168.1.4 sub 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1
    also 192.168.10.4 sub 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1
    I also tried forcing the laptop card to configure as
    192.168.1.3 sub 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1
    Wireless network connects but I can't ping between machines.
    With mac "internet sharing" to airport on, I can't get ANY wireless connection from windows to the mac network.
    I MUST be misunderstanding something(s) here.
    * Firewall settings? Would these block pings?
    * Bridging ethernet-airport on the mac?
    * DNS settings? I don't need 'em for broadband..does the router handle this?
    If anybody out there is networking wirelessly from an XP machine directly to a mac mini OSX 10.4.3 airport, I'd be *eternally gratefull* if you could share the tcp/ip setting details of the various interfaces.
    cheers

  • Troubles sincronizing outlook calendar 2007 with DM 5.0.1 in XP PRO SP2

    I am having some troubles when i run the sincronize proccess, windows XP closed automatically the desktop manager program because appeared  "windows has been  detected an invalid operation and the program will be close". first of all, the problem occurs in a Lap-top sony VAIO SR190F, if I run the program for fist time everything it is OK, but when I write a date in blackbery or Outlook for a second time and run the process again windows sent the message and the program is closed  and the sincronize process did not finish, This Lap-Top had a vista bussniess installed and I decided formated and install XP Pro SP2, and now the problem still. it is the same, the operating system is not the problem.
    I decided to do some test in order to check if the Blackeberry was working fine and the results are here:
    I do not have problems If i run the process for "N" times in other Lap wiht XP, I did a test in a toshiba lap with vista home and everything is worked fine. so I think the problem can be a Hardware in my VAIO SR190F, but I am not sure about it,  the problem is very wierd.... i do not what am I do to solve this issue.

    Hi LJ,
    It's not just 1.5 that has a problem with SP2, It's Microsoft causing many different problems in the process of removing MSJVM from windows.
    It is possible to solve but you need to do a bit of detective work first as there are several states your computer may be in depending on which patches have been installed and which JVM you have.
    Firstly try typing "jview" into a command window (Start -> Run then type "cmd").
    This will tell you if you have the MSJVM installed (probably not with SP2)
    Then type "java -version" and this will tell you which Sun JVM is recognised.
    N.B. Make sure "Use Sun Java version xxxx..." is selected in IE. (Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced)
    If the Sun JVM is installed and the MS JVM is not, try putting an empty text file into the System32 folder called "msjava.dll" (create a .txt file with nothing in it and then rename it to .dll).
    This will fool the computers registry into thinking that the MSJVM is installed but all calls to Java will be passed to the current Sun JVM. I'm not sure why this works but it has solved the problem on many machines.
    If this doesn't work, post again and i'll tell you the rest.
    Hope this helps.
    Alastair.

  • Problem installing Win XP Pro SP2 on 2008 Mac Pro running 10.6.8

    Okay, I have never setup or ran a bootcamp partition so I apologize in advance for my ignorance on the subject. I have been attempting to install win xp pro (SP2). I am using the Boot Camp Assistant  v3.0.4. I have created a 32GB FAT32 partition and at the point I click Continue Installation (with the XP Pro disc in the drive) the computer reboots to supposedly install.
    What happens instead is I get a revolving censorship/ban circle icon, folder with question mark and apple logo. It just continuously will flash between those 3 icons until I restart.
    Here's what I've tried...
    -removing all other drives. I'm attempting to install on the boot drive which is in bay 1.
    -removed all external devices only things plugged in are my usb keyboard and DVI monitor
    -deleting and recreating the partition
    -I have the xp pro cd in the top drive and the snow leopard cd in the bottom drive (both internal cd/dvd drives)

    No matter what I try I am met with the same results. I have held down the option key and manually selected the windows xp cd. It seems to be booting but immediately turns off my DVI monitor which, well, makes it impossible for me to actually know what is happening. I do have a nvidia GeForce 8800 which only has two DVI ports off the back. I do have the adapter and an old VGA monitor I could pull out of the attic but would rather not unless that is my only option. Can someone in the community please point me in the right direction?
    Many, many, many thanks!
    Curtis
    OKC, OK

    Update: my problem was solved by getting my VGA monitor out of the attic. Once windows was done and I ran the setup.exe off the Snow Leopard CD, all of the drivers were updated to allow me to switch back over to my apple cinema display.
    Also, I did need to hold down the option key to select the windows CD to install...and again to select the windows partition to boot but so far everything is going well with Bootcamp 3.0.4 and XP SP2...other than it is windows.

  • My host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

    my host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

    There are several possible causes for this problem.
    1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
    2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
    3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
    4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
    5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
    6. See also this support article.
    Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

    Seems the time isn't being saved to your computer correctly, it may be a corrupt file that isn't saving the time anymore.
    You can move the

    file out of your Users/Library/Preferences folder to the desktop and reboot.
    then go to your System Preferences > Date and Time and set a time server close to your location (or in your time zone)

    Has any one got some idea what is going on?
    Many thanks...

    Hi
    Thank you for your input. I did try Font size, reset, zoom... the lot and nopes it did nothing. As I said the problem is in Firefox, not in Chrome.
    I also checked the plug-ins issue and it seems they are in order and up to date.
    Now this morning, the website has been working again in Firefox (was working ok in Chrome).
    Overall Firefox's performance with some websites is poor. My health report confirms the number of times it crushes (many times a day, which is highly frustrating). I am keen to keep Firefox as it is so mcuh nicer in many ways than Chrome but it's performance is an issue for me... sigh...

  • Neo2 Platinum - WinXP Pro sp2 won't restart, replaced Athlon64 with Athlon64-2

    I did a cpu chip replacement of my Athlon xp 3200+ with an Athlon xp-2 3800.  ($78 form NewEgg).  My windows xp pro, sp2 found the chip so no new install.  I used the AMD drivers for multichip and the WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU.exe to update my os.
    Now, my pc won't do a restart.  It closes widows but then stops without going to the bios post screen and restarting.  I have to do a shutdown to off and then push my on button to get back to windows.  A lot of application updates ask for restarts on installs or updates.  I never had this problem with the single cpu.
    Has anyone else had this occur?  Is there a fix?  My new cpu runs a bit hotter than the old.  I get core temp. 42 C and AMD 64 temp. 41-48 C in SpeedFan.  (case temp. 18 C)  How does this compare with others with this board and cpu?

  • No wireless access with Windows XP Pro (SP2) on Macbook Pro

    Hello,
    Just installed Windows XP Pro (SP2) on my new Macbook Pro using Bootcamp Beta. The installation has gone fine with the exception of wireless access to the internet through my Airport home network.
    I've tried all the other configuraton wizards on XP...no joy.
    The three other macs in the house (2 wireless, 1 ethernet) and one Windows laptop (wireless) are all fine and dandy.
    Any suggestions on what to do?
    Thanks

    Make sure that your Ethernet Adapters are working properly
    If there is an red X or a yellow ! next to any ethernet adapter then try to reinstall the drivers.
    (you can reinstall the drivers via the installation cd or double click on the hardware device under device manager. there should be a reinstall drivers button in there. point it to the CD that you burned from bootcamp)

  • FF 3.6 AND 5 on same Mac, 1 profile - can I uninstall 5 without causing problems running 3.6 or with the profile?

    I upgraded from 3.6.16 to 5, but don't like how 5 handles tabs (auto reloading 'problem loading' tabs when internet connection is reestablished). So I installed 3.6 in a separate folder, e.g. both versions are on this computer. I went back to using 3.6, and let it upgrade to either 3.6.18 or 19 (don't recall which & it's not open right now). I'm having problems with it using too much CPU & Memory, and not sure if that's a difference between 3.6.16 & 3.6.18/19, or if having 5 on the same computer even if closed could be causing the problem.
    Can I uninstall 5 without causing problems with the 3.6 version and the single profile?

    If you haven't tried this, give it a try. It worked for me, hopefully it will work for you. In your version 3 firefox, disable all extensions, I had two plugins (doubletwist and joost, disable those if you have them). Then install firefox 5 by overwriting your version 3 firefox. It should work fine after that. I tried everything before, I gave that a last ditch shot. Oh yeah, before you install firefox 5, clear your cache of everything just to be sure.
    Hopefully that helps.

    Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address).  While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
    Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud.  You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.
