Vista x32, Zen V and V+ driver problems - also posted in Vista sect

?Have tried to install software, when registration asks for device to be connected, i connect. Windows detects as 'Creative Zen V', can't find a driver then lists it as an MTP device, and as a failure to install. The registration tool is no help. I have repeatedly gone to device manager and uninstalled the 'MTP device' and repeatedly reinstalled your software and redone every program I can find with creative. I have searched your knowledge base, no help. I have tried to hard search windows for the driver, and pointed the detection to creative folders, don?t help. After EVERY failed installation, windows media and all creative software does not see the player (i have 2 an 8gig and gig, white and black) but instead an MTP device (with a yellow Exclamation pt in device manager).

I have tried the Microsoft hotfix - won?t install, says not compatible with my system. Have Intel x64 chip, but vistax32, computer came that way. Can't update firmware as player never is correctly recognized.
?
?
Had a Windows XP machine before and eventually I got them to work. Why won't Vista find drivers? Both players work fine and charge, they just won?t synch to my new computer due to no drivers. My old XP machine went belly up (hardware issue) so that is no longer an option.
?
Repeatedly emailed Creative tech - NO HELP. Responses look like they NEVER read my thorough explanation and send me different form letters.
?
Frustrating, uninstalled and reinstalled probably 50 - 00 times.
?
Please help.

Would somebody help?
Many previous posts say to update firmware, can't as I no longer have an XP machine, besides I know I bought the 8gig well after VISTA was out, I think December 2007. No excuse for not having correct firmware.

K9A2 Platinum Audio and Video Driver problems.

I put together my new rig last night and am having a lot of problems with drivers. The rig installed windows XP SP2 in about 10 minutes though
Rig:
MSI K9A2 Platinum Bios 1.3
Phenom 9850 BE
G.SKILL 1066 5-5-5-15 2T
MSI HD 3870 OC
WD Raptor
CoolerMaster 550watt
Several fans to keep cool air flowing.
My problem is that I can not find good audio or video drivers. I started by trying the audio drivers included with the board, but they would not complete the install. I ended up downloading audio drivers from the MSI site, however they also would not install with the "#-0001" error message. I followed the instructions on the forum: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=115396.msg866810#msg866810 including installing the MS HD Audio Driver Hotfix but still cannot get sound working.
To further complicate my problem the 3870 has HD onboard, which makes a second instance of Microsoft UAA HD Audio driver in the device manager, and also tries to find drivers for bits of it's audio hardware.
Currently I have disabled on-board audio completely through the bios, and now everytime I boot-up I get new hardware found for UAA HD Audio, and also some Media interface. Clearly this is the HD on the 3870, however I can't seem to get drivers installed that will agree with the hardware thus the message continue to pop-up!
Does anyone have suggestions or similar experiences?

Thanks for the links.
The standard AMD ATI Drivers + South Bridge chipset drivers worked flawlessly. I've made a clean run through 3dmark06 so i feel good about them.
As for the audio.
I've worked through both of those suggestions but haven't gotten anywhere. A few times I have been able to get the drivers to install without the "error code -0001" message, but that doesn't give me sound. Under device manager I still end up with yellow exclamations. It seems no matter what I disable or try to do nothing works. I've tried updating drivers manually like was explained in the first link, but when the update is complete I get the messages lile: "There was a problem installing this device MEDIA An error occured... The data is invalid"
Does anyone know if this indicates a hardware of driver problem?

K8N nForce 4 (CK804) and SATA drive problems

Hi,
I have a K8N Neo MB with a 4 port sata and RAID. It seems that it is not stable with sata drives at all.
I had at first 2 120G SEAGATE drives. I kept getting random hangups from windows AND linux. I thought it was a problem with one of the drives to I booted with one of them at a time and worked a bit... it seemed the problem went away.
but later, after a week or so, it seems everything comes back again. same problems with freezes and hangups.
when windows for example freezes, and i press reset. at the boot screen, the POST would hang up at the step which detects the SATA drives. it would stay like this foreever.
I would have to totally shut down power for a few seconds and boot again.
I tried working with pata drives and its totally great and stable. no problems. if i install a sata drive with the pata, i get the same hangup problems.
i bought another seagate 80gb sata drive just to make sure that the older 120gb were not a problem. it worked for me fine a t first, but started to do exactly the same afterwards
i tried to access the drive from linux in order to trace the access pattern of the drive and get a sense of what was going wrong. Here is the syslog from the kernel messages.
any help with that issue is highly appreciated. thanks

the answer for this problem is very simple.. I was having EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM as you... I changed 3 hds sata 200gb because I wasnt finding out the cause... so I found this link:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/service/faq/faq/esc_faq_answer.php?L_kind=1&Q_LIST=1141&NA=637
The problem is the NCQ technology... just disabled it and everything will be fine... i did this here and now is everything PERFECT! lol

[Athlon64] Cool n Quiet and AMD driver problem...

I hate to be the one to start another cool and quiet thread, but this is a problem I can't figure out. I have been running cool and quiet on my NEO Athlon 64 motherboard for over a year now, and it has worked perfectly, until today. I re-installed windows, because it was giving me problems, thanks to one too many virus and spyware attacks over the past year. Anyway, I installed windows, installed service pack 1, and all the assorted drivers for my hardware. I downloaded the latest AMD cpu driver and installed it. I have my power option set to minimal. I have everything just as it was, but the cool and quiet never kicks in. I am monitoring it with the Cool and Quiet panel, and it just sets at 2000 mhz. Cool and Quiet is turned on in the bios, and so is acpi. Windows xp reports having ACPI installed. I'm stumped. Is the fact I am using SP1 and have not upgraded to SP2 have anything to do with this? I notice the latest AMD cpu driver mentions it is for winxp SP2. I am avoiding SP2 because it has an issue with software that I use on my network. If it's because of SP2, is there a site I could download the older AMD cpu drivers from, to get this thing working? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hello dude!
Well I remember to be in the same case, but when I reinstalled the WinXP, it comes with the SP2 integrated and I just active the Cool n Quiet installing the AMD Power Monitor lasted version and set se PM to Minimal, and it works perfectly, And about your problem with the WinXPSP2 Firewall you just have to unmark the LAN protection from the Firewall settings and thats all...
Enjoy the Life, Enjoy AMD...

N8 and remote drive problem

Hello!
Does anybody manage N8 remote drives feature to work?
I've tried it with 1) home configured apache2 + mod_dav server 2) mydisk.se publis webdav
server
In every case it connects to server, verifies credentials and disconnects immediately.
Please, post here working setup for N8 remote drive

The file size limitation is probably not coming from your phone, but from your webdav server (IIS).
At least this is what I gather when reading:

Mixing IDE hard drive's and optical drive problem

So the other day on ebay i bought an adapter plate that allows me to fit a hard drive in an optical drive bay, in the mac pro as you know the optical drives are connected over IDE and i had an old IDE hard drive lying around i wanted to make use of for a windows partition, i installed the drive below the optical drive fine and plugged them both in and both the optical drive and hard drive are in cable select mode but now when i boot up neither the optical drive or hard drive are recognized.
in theory this should work as there both ide devices on cable select mode. what am i doing wrong here or can i simply not mix an ide optical drive and hard drive?
Will

Ok thankyou, ive gotten the number of a local apple specialist repair centre and im going to ring them to get a quote, if it costs lots i wll do it myself, and i have an 80 pin cable lying around a really high quality one so i may end up using that
once again thankyou very much
maybe next time ill be more careful

My external drives no longer appear in Finder, BUT they do appear in Disk Utility (and network drives appear also)

Hi folks, I hope someone can assist. I have a Mac Mini 2011 running 10.8.5. All has been well. Suddenly, when I plugged in an external flash drive (USB), nothing showed up in Finder. Things I have done:
Confirmed SideBar and other Finder preferences are set to show/reveal external, network, and internal HDs
Tried multiple flash drives and hard drives, using drives formated in GUID/OSXExtended as well as FAT and NTSF. None show up.
Confirmed that the Hidden flag in terminal is not set.
Note: I can see the drives in Disk Utility, but the partitions/volumes are gray and will not be mounted.
Note: Network drives and internal drives appear and work as expected
Note: My network Time Machine also appears and performs as expected.
The only suspect I can think of is a small, free app I installed this morning called Caffein (which manages the sleep mode).
Also, I loged out and switched to another user account on the same machine (that I use solely for the purpose of troubleshooting), and it was similarly affected.
Thanks in advance!

Vista 64 Treo 600 Sync Solution that should also work for Vista 32

Ok Here is a partial solution for a Treo 600 (Bell) with Vista 64 (along with my Treo 755p TELUS)
I recently purchased an Acer with Vista 64 to replace a XP machine that was having increasing hardware failures. I did not know at the time there was no support for Vista 64 and that Palm had only released a Vista 32 desktop the week before.
I managed to install the Vista 32 bit desktop software on my Vista 64 machine with no error messages but when I tried to install my Treo 755p I found out about the lack of Palm USB Vista 64 drivers
Insert Palm wasting time on Folio instead of Treo driver support rant @#!%!#%^^!#^@^@!%#!!!!!!! (I know it should be longer but most of it has been said before) Ok back to business.
Treo 755p
On the Palm forums I found the instructions for getting a Treo 755p to sync via Bluetooth
I followed the instruction and purchased a Blue Tooth USP key (Oh and I tried the Kensington - Bluetooth 2.0 USB Adapter first...^$%^@@^@^!!!!! before I found the Iogear USB Bluetooth 2.0 Class 1 Wireless Adapter which works fine and is the only one I would recommend) I now have my Treo 755p working with Vista 64 with only one error message (I'll get back to it later)

I was not impressed with the fact that this device had not support at all from Palm for Vista (32 or 64) $#%^!%!^@^@^%@ (ok I feel better)
I found a suggestion from a UK site that mentioned you could sync a Treo 600 via IR and even suggested the correct IR USB unit to buy (SITECOM CN-100)
http://www.sitecom.com/product.php?productname=USB+to+fast+IrDA+adapter&productcode=CN-100&productid...
Unfortunately that particular IR USP reader is only sold in the UK. So I took a chance and ordered a "Cables Unlimited USB IRDA Adapter tem Number: C250-1160 (about $17.00 Cdn). It arrived a few days later and it installed on my Vista 64 machine immediately without requesting any "driver disk" I followed the instruction from Palm on how to set up a USB Sync and tried to sync. The Vista machine identified the Palm and was willing to work but the Palm desktop and active sync was not responding. I reread the IR instructions and it requires you to complete a USB sync first (@!#$!$#%!^%!#%~%!!!!!!!)
So I took a night to think about it. My only solution I could think about was to see if I could fake out the Palm desktop / sync software. I fired up the old XP device and copied the user profile for the Treo 600 and copied it into the correct location on the new Vista 64 machine. I tried IR sync and low and behold it worked. (Oh and an IR Sync takes a very, very long time) After the first sync I received a few errors, my Documents to Go files were in new locations, some calendar and memos were duplicated all were very minor. I manually fixed those errors and then completed IR Sync and the Treo 600 now works with a Vista 64.
Of course this solution only works providing you have access to your old Profile, but I figure if you been using a Treo 600 you probably not a new user. If your completing a totally new install on Vista I would suggest find a XP machine install it on it and complete sync, then copy that profile to the Vista machine.
Treo 755p Back up Error
The one error I received was it was unable to back up this file PmTraceDatabase
The message read: “Protocol Error: Handheld file could not be opened. (4004)
-SYNCERR_FILE_NOT_OPEN”
I looked for this file in my profile on the old XP machine and was unable to locate it, but I noticed they the Treo 600 didn't have this message when I copied over the entire profile, I tried to do the same with my Treo 755p profile but the error did not go away. So after researching the Palm Forums I found this simple solution
http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=windows_hotsync&message.id=28291&query.id=134275#...
So now that I have spent the last 3 weeks trying to get both of our Palms working with Vista 64 I figure the 64 bit USB drivers should be available any day now.......oh and I'm now hating Vista less......

Be sure the BIOS is updated with latest version.
Bye and good luck!

Both nouveau and nVidia driver problems with Stellarium

Stellarium v0.12.4 with either xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9-1 or nvidia (latest driver) and an nVidia MCP78S (GeForce 8200) chip usually results in either distorted graphics and sometimes complete system lock-up.
The nVidia driver is worse, nouveau sometimes works but its a crap shoot. This has been going on for about 2 months now, and I have tested both drivers.
With nouveau it dumps these boot errors, but works on other software just fine:
Oct 21 17:17:48 eagle kernel: nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:02:00.0] MMIO read of 0x00000008 FAULT at 0x10022c
Oct 21 17:17:48 eagle kernel: nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:02:00.0] MMIO read of 0x00000008 FAULT at 0x100230
Oct 21 17:17:48 eagle kernel: nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:02:00.0] MMIO read of 0x00000008 FAULT at 0x1002e4
I cannot use the nvidia driver in general because it sometimes causes graphics faults when using Chromium.
I don't get any other graphics issues other than with Stellarium (and obviously I cannot run google-earth with nouveau either).
Any ideas on where to start with this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks for answering!
Following your advice, I downloaded and installed the latest driver from Nvidia (http://www.nvidia.fr/object/notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-260.99-whql-driver-fr.html). I'm not sure this is the one I updated on the first place since I don't remember when I did it (it was a few months ago, and as I had internet without using wi-fi, I didn't see that much the BSOD, but now that I'm back to wi-fi, the problem occurs often). Until now, no BSOD, but the first problem "Display Driver Stopped Responding and Has Recovered" is still here, and a little bit more annoying since it can occurs while watching some video files (it didn't happen before).
For the BIOS problem, it was the one described on the link you gave, but no the problem is over. I was just thinking it could be relevant to understand the others problems.
I'll let you know if the BSOD is (or seems) definitively gone. In the meantime, if someone knows how to fix the problem of the display driver that stopped responding and was recovered, it would be greatly appreciated!

Volume needs repair AND hard drive problem...

OK so I have an Intel Based iMac and its about 1 year old. Randomly I got a message saying that the hard drive disc space is almost full, which makes NO sense. I have a 250 hard drive and I use it mainly for video editing. Before I got this message, I had about 100 GB left on my hard drive. I have NO CLUE where 100 GB went to, and i know it was not from video. Also I went to the disk utility and it said "Volume needs repair" and it gave me an "The underlying task reported failure,". Im not sure what to do and I'm hoping you guys will.....if this has been asked before, I apologize.

Yes, you can delete it, but it indicates a bigger concern namely your maintenance scripts aren't running regularly to clean up the logs or you have a problem in the system or an application that is writing huge amounts of information constantly into the log file. You should check the log using the Console application (Utilities folder) and examine its content to see if this is the case.
You should also read the following for information on installing utilities that can assure the maintenance scripts are run as well as other information on system maintenance that can help keep your computer running better.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.6.1 is Leopard compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that presently AppleJack is not compatible with Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.

TV@nywhere and WDM driver problem-a weird one!

I just bought a TV@nywhere card, as an upgrade to my old Hauppauge WinTV card... I installed all the driver updates, and it looks and works great using the MSIPVS software. But, whenever I try to use the card with any software that uses the "Microsoft WDM Image Capture" driver, the video is either green or black and white with tiny vertical lines running through it. ;(
I made sure all the references to my old card were deleted from the registry, I reinstalled the TV@nywhere drivers... Nothing seemed to help.
Some Windows programs (like netmeeting) don't even recognize that I have a video device at all, and the ones that do give me the b&w or green screen.
Here's the weird part:
Finally, out of desperation, I opened Windows Movie Maker 2, the default program that comes with Windows. It named the Conexant chipset by name, and I was able to use it to record from my TV@nywhere card! Success! After doing this, I tried the programs that provided the B&W/green screens before, and they worked fine!
I thought I had permanently fixed the problem!
But now, every time I reboot, those programs that use the "Microsoft WDM Image Capture" driver go back to B&W/green... I have to run Windows Movie Maker 2 every time I reboot, record like a 5 second video, and close it to make these other programs behave normally. I'm out of ideas as to why this is happening. Can anyone help?
SPECS
Windows XP Pro SP1 (clean install 1 week ago)
MSI TV@nywhere card (correctly installed with no !'s or ?'s in Device Manager)
All 3 MSI TV@nywhere patches applied
Athlon XP 2000+
512MB RAM
120GB HD
MSI Geforce 4 MX
SB Live
ECS K7S5A MB (with latest BIOS and SIS chipset drivers)

Well, I am using XP, and WMM 2 comes with XP. The recording quality seems to be the same in MSIPVS and WMM 2.
Something else I noticed... I downloaded some new webcam software, and it lists 2 drivers: the same WDM video driver (with the same problems I described) and also a DIRECTX capture driver, which lists the Conexant chipset by name, and captures fine.
Could this be a DirectX issue? I am using DirectX 9.0a . I e-mailed MSI 3 days ago with a question about this but received no response. This forum is my only hope in solving this.

and then I will let you know if it works properly under
windows ME. Maybe, it is a windows 2000 issue?
