Setup program tells me my SB Live! 5.1 is not detec

Hi,
I bought a SB Li've! 5. a few months back, and for some reason the place I bought it from was selling the Asian edition. I don't li've in Asia nor any region close to it, but the card was cheap and I figured the hardware is exactly the same in Asia as it would be anywhere else. I installed it initially without a problem, and then a month or so ago I uninstalled all the software that came with it as I had a problem with the mixer - it was showing speaker setups that I don't possess as the only selectable options in the speaker configuration part of the mixer.
I have managed to lose my installation CD, and so I downloaded the latest drivers off the Creative website thinking they should work. However, even though I chose Asia as my region, when I ran the file I got the message "Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster audio card on your system" shortly after the package was unzipped and the installation program was initialised. I manually installed the Creative Diagnostics package, ran it, and the hardware detection failed. Strangely, if I manually installed the driver from that exact driver package, XP detected the card fine and installed it as "Creative EMU0K", and I had sound again. It's just the peripheral packages (mixer, CreativeHQ etc) that I am having problems with.
I have since tried downloading another Creative SB Li've! driver installation package, which gives me the same error. The two drivers I have tried were called Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe and Li'veDrvPack.exe.
What do I have to do to properly identify my soundcard? Is there a program I can run that will tell me exactly what version of chipset my soundcard possesses? Or, failing that, is there something I can see on the card itself that might tell me what version it is? And from there, how do I go about getting the right driver package off the internet?
I have recently purchased an awesome speaker system (Logitech X620) and am itching to hear it in all its glory, but this little problem is preventing me from doing so. Any help or advice you can offer me in getting my SB Li've! 5. working will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I give up on this card! I actually have it working and playing all of the speakers in my 5. setup but I have no idea how I did it. I had the card for awhile without knowing anything was wrong because I had a 2 speaker setup. About a week ago I picked up a set of 5. speakers. I started up Half-Life 2 expecting to get better spacial effects. After playing for awhile I was unimpressed and for a second thought maybe surround sound wasn't all it was cracked up to be when the thought came to me to check to make sure all the speakers were playing. They weren't. So I popped in the Li've! Installation CD hoping it would fix the problem. It didn't. In fact, AudioHQ started giving me an error that I didn't have a compatible soundcard after the reinstall. I notice of the 3 installation disk I have, one has a "for XP" tacked on the end. So I pop that one in and reinstall everything only to get the same results. I uninstall and reinstall repeatedly with different settings with no result. I go to the website for updated drivers only to get the "Could not detect any Sound Blaster Audio Card" message. I use WinZip to unzip the exe file and manually install everything like Jeremy suggested and at least I get sound again but still no center or surround speaker output. I fool with some settings and amazingly get the center to play. Still unsatisfied with the surround speakers not playing I decide to look into the KX drivers. I install them and seem to get all the speakers playing then after the restart I get no sound at all. So i decide to use System restore to go back to just before I installed the KX drivers in hope that I haven't lost center speaker sound again. Miraculously after the System Restor all the speakers are playing! I'm still afraid to open AudioHQ or any of the Sound Blaster software in fear that it might reset everything and I have no idea if another restart will kill the center and surround speakers again. Hopefully this info can somehow help someone figure out how to get this nightmare of a card to work the way it should.

How do you repair the EFI systems partitions when you mac tells you that the live file system is not supported?

how do you repair the EFI systems partitions when you mac tells you that the live file system is not supported?

I don't have good news. You will need to repartition and reformat the hard drive in order to determine if the drive is still OK or if it needs to be replaced. If your computer is a 2011 model or later do the following:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
If your computer is pre-2011 model, then locate the original installer discs that came with the computer. Then do this:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. You can now download a version of OS X from which to upgrade from your Purchases page in the App Store.

How to download offline setup programs ?

Hi,
At my company, as a sysadmin I'm in charge of setting up Adobe Products. Creative Cloud won't allow me to download offline setup programs for my PC & MAC users.
Please tell me another way to download those setup programs.

Thanks for the examples
I responded to another post regarding Team Ready earlier today. It seemed kind of related:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4476648#4476648
In the case of a deployment, Adobe has its own deployment software (AAMEE 3.0) that is often used by volume license customers. As mentioned in the former thread, volume license for Creative Cloud is still being created.
Closed/protected environments are often volume licensed with perpetual products as they have additional options related to activation/licensing for the sysadmin (single activation for all products outside the closed environment or offline activation).
Sounds like volume licensing is the common thread here (at least in my accessment) so more solutions/options are on the way.

In other words: C4780 works only using USB option.
Anyone can help me?

Hi Mcezar,
I see you are struggling to get the printer on your wireless network. I can help.
This printer does not have a wireless wizard build into the front panel instead we would typically connect a USB cable from the printer to the computer and run the setup assistant.
Because you have 10.9 on the Mac, there is no full feature software and drivers, thus you will not have the setup assistant we need to configure the printer. You may be wondering now, well how can I set it up then? Good question, we are going to restore the printers network back to default and the printer will have its own IP address designed for whats called an Ad Hoc connection (network without a router). We will put the computer on the printers network, and then print a report to get the printers IP address. At this point we can access the embedded web server (EWS) and run the wireless wizard from there. Once the printer is on the home network with the router we can put the computer back on the network and vuala the printer and computer will both be on your network.
To restore network defaults
Press the Scan button (it also the Wireless menu button)
Select Wireless Settings
Scroll down and select Restore Network Defaults. Press Yes to acknowledge
The radio will turn off (the blue LED will go out). Select Enable Wireless
Put the computer on the printers network (temporary)
1. Click on the Airport symbol on the top left side of the Mac screen
2. Choose the network that look relative to the printer (might say HP setup or some variation)
Print the wireless network test
Press the Scan button (it also the Wireless menu button)
Select Wireless Settings
Navigate to Wireless test and select.
The Wireless Network Test prints, look for and note the IP address.
Open an internet broswer (Safari) and enter the IP address into the URL (address bar).
Click on the newtork tab, on the left click on wireless or 802.11.
At this point we are looking fore "start wizard" should be on the right hand side.
Once we have successful configured the printer for your network you can put your computer back on your own network.
Now you can add the printer to the System Preferences and print

Crystal 2008 Merge Module SP 2.2 - SP 3.0 Cannot Rebuild Setup Program

I have a project that did use Crystal Reports 2008 Merge Module sp2.2. We upgraded to Merge Module CR 2008 sp3.0 hoping for speed improvements. So far we cannot even build the setup program. The Installer is referencing CR 2008 sp2.2 AND CR 2008 sp3.0 merge modules now and then generates an error stopping the build process. We have gone through every referenece and even went so far as to delete the sp2.2 merge module. The installer still tries to add it. We have removed and replaced all referneces in the program for Crystal. Still same problem. We have been working with Installshield for 2 weeks on this problem but still no resolution. We had a terrible time figuring out all the dependencies for the CR 2008 sp 2.2 originally and eventually had to pay for Crystal support to even get this to work. I am very surprised at how hard it is to use Crystal Reports in a VB.Net project. Please help.

Hi,
WRT InstallShield, what version of InstallShield do you use and what type of project is it - InstallScript or MSI? There's an aritcle here on a couple of possible solutions for -5037 http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=Q109144&sliceId=
I've also seen a comment to turn off .NET dependency scanning for the components in the project, and add the components back in manually, to workaround the error.
For each new release of a Crystal merge module I replace the merge module in the location where the merge modules are held (e.g. C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2010\Objects), and then open my InstallShield MSI project, deselect the merge module in the Redistributables view and then reselect the merge module which refreshes the references to the merge module in the project. That said moving from CR2.2 to SP3 the merge module filename has changed so for SP3 this will be listed as a seperate Redistributable (or Object in InstallScript), but I've already built a setup using this without any issues, using this method of deselecting / reselecting the merge module.
WRT the Visual C++ libraries, I have to edit the Crystal merge module to change the ModuleDependency ModuleLanguage to language independant in order for the build to be successfull (as per this lengthy forum posting here 2008 SP1 Merge Modules). I'm sure you've already gone through all this pain!

Download the latest updates to the setup program

When installing scom you can set the following checkbox: "Download the latest updates to the setup program".
What does this selection actually do? Is it only downloading updates to the setup program, or is it downloading updates for the scom installation itself as well?

Only downloading updates to the setup program

Wireless printer is setup, but the HP Installer Setup program is in a never-ending loop

Wireless printer is setup (HP Officejet 4500), but the HP Installer Setup program is in a never-ending loop. It says "Fatal error during installation." and keeps trying to uninstall/reinstall/ etc etc etc. Printer is setup and runs fine, just need to get rid of this crazy loop - any guidance?

Which OS is installed?
I recommend that you uninstall the printer software from the HP folder in start-->All Programs -->HP --> uninstall software
After the uninstall is completed and your system restarted install and configure the printer again.

I need to import my .mov files to CS6 but the program tells me the files are unsupported. Help!!

I am working on a really important project and am trying to import my .mov files however, the program tells me the files are unsupported by CS6. How can I convert these files to something usable? Am I trying to import them incorrectly? Please help!

Welcome to the forum.
What CODEC is inside those MOV files?
What OS are you on?
If Windows, do you have Apple's QT Pro (US $39 upgrade/unlock)? If so, then you can use it to Export to several formats/CODEC's, that PrPro can use.
Good luck,

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Hi mahmod alsousi,
Try this:
Sign out from the Creative Cloud app and Quit it (Quit option will be available after a few seconds).
Now move the following folders to desktop:
1) SLCache
Windows: OS Drive\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
Mac: Library/Application Support/Adobe
2) SLStore
Windows: OS drive\ProgramData\Adobe
Mac: Library/Application Support/Adobe
3) OOBE
Windows: OS Drive\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe
Mac: /User/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Now launch Premiere Pro and sign in with your Adobe ID.
NOTE: Make sure your Anti Virus/Firewall is not blocking any Adobe activation servers. Alternately, you can also check your 'hosts' file for any changes.
Thanks,
Rameez
