Sound Card not compatible with WIN 7

I have a Dell 8200 Dimension Desktop (vintage 2002)?that I?ve just upgraded from XP Pro to Win 7. My Turtle Beach sound card no longer works since it is not compatible with Win 7. When I tried to install a non-Dell sound card, I found that the two sockets were not compatible with the Dell cables. I was told that I must have a Dell card since the plugs were proprietory Dell. I was given a Dell part number (38FRH) which supposedly was the card that would work as a replacement, i.e., be compatible with Windows 7. Dell no longer stocks this card since they stop supporting their computers after they are 5 years old.
Can?anyone help me solve my problem?

Which Dell cables? To the speakers? If so, time to change the speakers then.
Also try online such as eBay. Google for "Dell 38FRH". Ignore the Windows 7 drivers links. First few I found were fakes/scams. Scroll down. On the first page there were a couple of sites that carried it.
I would rather change the sound card [get something "modern"] and speakers than continue to use proprietary stuff.
Using Win 7 on an 8 year old system? Yeeesh.

  • AirPort Extreme card not compatible with Mac Pro???

    Hey,
    I recently purchased my Mac Pro without thinking to include any hardware for connecting to a wireless network.
    I have recently moved into a new apartment which I am keen to join to a wireless network which has just been set up by my roommate for his PC and Laptop.
    I was going to buy an AirPort Extreme card, but I have read that it is not compatible with the Mac Pro. Yet when I looked at the configure process for a new mac it was listed as one of the devises offered for wireless networking!!
    I am very confused...
    I was wondering if anyone could help me, i just need to know what hardware i will need and how it would be installed.
    thanks, all help will be greatly appreciated!

    the mac pro takes a slightly different airport express card. you have to purchase it at the retail store and have them install it. in my experience they will not allow you to purchase one and install it yourself due to the difficulty of installing it. best thing to do take your macpro into a apple retail store and see what they can do.

  • MS 6163 bx master not compatible with Win XP

    Hi !
    Yesterday i changed the HDD, installed the windows xp sp2... and here we go again with the old problems since the windows xp come out.
    My pc often greeze, lock Up and i have to reset it. In the event viewer there is an error under the system that said:
    AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to write to an illegal IO port address (0xnnnn), which lies in the 0xXXXX - 0xYYYY protected address range. This could lead to system instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance.
    The motherboard is acpi complaint, but the problem is that the Bios is not compatible with windows xp. It is very sad thet the manufacturer did not make changes to the biso so the people with retired motherboards can still use it without problems.
    There is a way to fix this, but it will still freeze in time to time, but not so often. The problem about acpi will be corrected, if you change to non - acpi complaint system and then install NT/APM legacy support to shut down windows properly.
    I noticed that doing that, the system is not working so fast then when was acpi complaint. also some strange little noises come out from the motherboard expecialy when i move the usb mouse. I dont know what to say, but its sad. I still have this pc althought its so old. If only the bios can be comaptible.... 
    If you computer's BIOS tries to write to a port in ACPI Machine Language (AML), you will receive similar errors. Windows NT-based computers, including Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, do NOT allow these operations as they can cause instability.
    To resolve this problem, contact your manufacturer about a BIOS upgrade.
    I so on the internet on a photo of the motherboard that there is a jumper J1 that can lock write to bios ? anyone know what is it ?
    In the manual there is no explanation or mentioned J1 jumper....
    Please make the bios stable for me 

    Hi !
    Without overclock ? yes I also tryed this. It is the same problem. When windows xp come out it brings with it this problem of Bios.
    For now I am running windows without acpi support as I said. This will correct the error... but I will se in next weeks how it will work. I have the new HDD now. On the old one i got some bad clusters and mybe this caused freezing althought i disabled acpi. With acpi enabled my pc would freeze every 10 minutes...  To eliminate the freeze related to acpi error, the only solution is to disable acpi support, since there is no BIOS available ti fix this problem.
    Sure.. it is possible that also my ram will cause pc to freeze in time to time. I noticed that where there is 4 slots for sdram, there is also a RED lightning led. I check the manual , but there is no explanation of this led. I dont know why it is red and not green. I dont even know what colour should be. This led is located next to the ram slot.
    The noises that i mentioned...are comming from the PSU.... It is a new one. The precedent one was the same one and also new and i return it to change it for another of the same manufacturer (same model also). heh also this one turn out that it cause strange noises. mybe is not so silent as they said.

  • Problem vith T61 sound card not regocnized with Windows 7 ultimate

    When I try to Install SoundMax, I get the dreaded "The audio driver files do not support your computer hardware" error
    I have found other threads with Windows XP but haven't found any with Windows 7
    Is there a way to force to install these drivers? or can it be accounted as hardware error?
    Windows itself also does not recognize the sound card in any way.
    All the updates have been performed and absolutely no hint of available sound card. (Except fot the bluetooth external audio controller)

    is this the driver that you're trying to install?  does your sound device show up in device manager?  is there a yellow tag on it? if this is the one you're trying to install and it won't did you try to manually update the driver from device manager.  don't let windows find the driver. point the update to the folder where the driver is.

  • BlackBook graphics card not compatible with iMovie HD?

    I recently launched iMovie HD for the first time on my BlackBook running Leopard. I got a dialog box that my graphics card may not be compatible and some transitions may not work. I haven't actually done any editing yet so I haven't actually tested any transitions, but what's up?
    If iMovie HD isn't compatible with the BlackBook graphics card, what is?

  • Satellite L505-10z - Win 7 tools are not compatible with Win 8

    My laptop is Satellite L505-10z. I installed Windows 8 Pro and I notice that lots of drivers (especially TVAP) I downloaded from Toshiba support website (which are originally for Windows 7) not working! When will Toshiba release Windows 8 drivers? Will my model be included in the driver updates?
    Thanks

    > downloaded from Toshiba support website (which are originally for Windows 7) not working!
    Win 7 tools and utilities are made for Win 7 and not Win 8
    > When will Toshiba release Windows 8 drivers? Will my model be included in the driver updates?
    I think you should ask Toshiba. This is user to user community.
    But I think Toshiba would start with driver support if Win 8 would be available OFFICIALLY on the market.

  • Acrobat 8 Pro not compatible with Win 7 Pro 64

    When I changed from Win XP Pro to Win 7 Pro I could not transfer Acrobat 8 Pro. Adobe Support just informed me that Acrobat 8 Pro was not designed for Win 7 and that's it. This was pretty frustrating and gave me the opportunity to search the market. I am going to switch to PDF Suite that is coequal to Acrobat but hundreds of times favorable in price!

    Support gave you the correct answer. The new underpinnings of Windows 7 makes it impossible for Acrobat 8 to function properly. It should not surprise you that new OSs require new software. Acrobat 9 is very nice software, you can get an special upgrade price from 8 to 9. Acrobat 10 is likely to be available real soon now. There are many programs available to create pdfs. Office can do so natively. If that is all you need then Acrobat may not be for you. However, for some there is nothing quite like Acrobat.

  • Adobe CS 5 Is not compatible with Win 7

    I just had an unbelievable 45 min discussion with the 'Expert' support of Adobe.  I am trying to install CS 5 on a new computer after receiving the download link.
    I encountered an error while trying to install and asked the 24 hour support to help.  You wont believe the enaswer I got.
    He told me that CS5 cannot run on Win 7 and sent me a link that I had to read.
    I told him that its working Ok on my other Win 7 computer, and that the instructions he sent me says that IT DOES work on Win 7
    UNBELIEVABLE SUPPORT...!
    In the end I insisted that he pass me a supervisor who was no real help at all
    He told me I cannot use the CS5 on another computer.
    I then showed him the transcript from a previous support session where the person told me I could
    He then said it was possible but that they dont support the CS5 anymore
    This chat session was going from bad to crazy
    Do these guys know the basics of Adobe? (Rhetorical question!)

    Hi Magila,
    I apologise for the inconvenience.
    CS5 has not been tested on Windows 7 and you might face compatibility issues with it. What the chat agent meant was you can go ahead and install CS5 on the OS but Adobe will not be responsible nor support issues arising due to unsupported and untested platforms.
    BTW what error do you get while trying to install CS5?
    Please try installing the software in compatibility mode and check ( http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/cdd894f8-1ee2-43e5-952b-d04c25779 a7f/how-to-install-a-software-application-using-compatibility-mode?forum=w7itproappcompat )
    You might also want to follow the below mentioned basic steps :
    > Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref :  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
    > Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
    > Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
    Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.

  • ITunes 10 not compatible with Win XP SP3?

    My wife's Dell is running Win XP (32 bit) with SP3, has most of the recent Microsoft security updates, MS Office 2007, and the 2011 version of McAfee. It is rather "plain vanilla" in its configuration, so I don't expect any conflicts with the Win version of iTunes.
    With iTunes 9.2.1.5, her computer & iTunes work fine. I thought I'd try the suggested upgrade to iTunes 10.4.1. It downloaded and installed OK. However, upon the next reboot of the computer, ended up at the black screen and could only restart in safe mode. Repeated restarts, only could get to safe mode though.
    I restored her computer from a disk image, and it ran fine until I tried to upgrade to iTunes 10.4.1 again ... same thing, can only boot to safe mode. I repeated this process a couple more times with different versions of her system's disk images, all run iTunes 9.2.1.5 OK, but crash with an iTunes 10.4.1 install. I also tried this with and without running Norton Win Dr. & Disk Dr. (not running Norton antivirus, rather McAfee) to clean up the registry and system files, but same results.
    Is iTunes 10.x.x only for Vista or Win OS 7? Is there some known Microsoft update or setting that conflicts with iTunes 10.x.x? Does iTunes 10.x.x not play nice with McAfee or any of its security features? Is there some level of Windows security settings that could cause this?
    I'm OK with iTunes 9.2.1.5 for now, but don't want the next Apple device that requires a newer iTunes version to break her computer. We wish to stay at Win XP SP3 as both our work computers use XP and our same current level of program revisions, so we don't want new issues (plus time & cost) going to Win 7 just for the sake of iTunes 10.
    Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
    PS: I personally use a MacPro at home, but that is not a current option for my wife (just saying this in advance for those who's fix will be to "get a Mac" :-)

    I see you're having issues getting the Solution Center to work with your new Windows 8.1 laptop. I'm sorry to hear this, but with a bit more information I'd be happy to lend a helping hand
    1. What model HP printer do you have?
    2. Is the printer connected via USB or wireless?
    3. Are you able to run the scan even though the Solution Center says the printer is disconnected? (I only ask because I've seen it many times!)
    4. Have you tried downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor yet? If not, please try that and let me know what it has to say! If it fails anywhere, just let me know where it fails.
    5. Did you install the printer using a download?
    Once I have this information I will certainly do my best to have a deeper look into things!

  • JSP Server is not compatible with Win XP Service Pack 2

    i've install java serve into my comp system with the following specification:

    The PROBLEM are:
    Page with .jsp extension cannot be diaplay, when it's come to .html/.htm there is no problems at all.
    Why this kind of problems occur is it because of the my comp. spec or because of Jave server didn't suite with XP Service Pack II...
    I TRIED SO MANY TIME BUT THE OUTPUT IS STILL THE SAME!!!

    I TRIED SO MANY TIME BUT THE OUTPUT IS STILL THE SAME!!!You think you should be able to double click a .jsp file and display it?
    Tell me, what should be launched when you do this?
    This is not the way to run .jsp files. You need to deploy them in a web app on a servlet/JSP engine and submit HTTP requests to that app server from a browser. You cannot double click on a JSP and display it.
    Repeat: It can't be done.
