What soundcard actually works in Vista x

Is there any Creative soundcards that work at all in Vista x64 without problems?
A card that i can just install with no fuss and then it works?
I bought a Audigy SE and it is almost impossible to get to work.
I read some of the guides how ppl copy their CD's and modify files ect.
Are there no cards that actually work?
I read ppl who got X-Fi but still have problems, X-Fi is the newest?

LoL, afraid you'll have to go to **competitor** for a soundcard with all it's features enabled in Vista.
My X-fi works fine in Entertainment mode, but put it in Game mode & start any EAX game and it crashes out with looping sound.
The much vaunted CMSS 3D doesn't work in Vista 64, and dolby decoding is still missing.
Vista was only released 8 months ago after a year of public beta's, can't expect Creative to release working drivers so quickly can we!

Upgrade Harddrive - What brands actually work???

Hi, I'm getting a bit confused. More I read, more I am unsure what direction to go. I have a 15" MacBook Pro (Early 2006), and want to upgrade the harddrive to a larger one.
Looking at the Seagate 500Gb, then see all kinds of post about them freezing up and having lots of problems. So I think, "Well, Western Digital is good, right?" and am looking at their 320Gb Scorpio Black (without G shock). Then see post saying WD is junk ... ARRRGGGHHH!!!
Seems everyone has problem with every brand. So, which is really reliable and a good upgrade to go with?
Thanks!

Kappy, thank you for the reply. I actually did search for answers, but all that came up was others with the similar questions that were never really answered, and the complaints about the various drives. I do search before posting, but sometimes just posting a new question is much easier than sifting through all the various complaints and such.
I appreciate your reply and input. It still concerns me with the rash of problems seagate seems to have as of late, with no apparent resolution. Although as you say, out of how many they sell, the incidents are likely a small percentage.
Thanks for the tips too, I realize it's a bit involved replacing the drives and am familiar with the workings and how to do it. Just figuring what to put in it ... lol!

What is the difference between Wine, Wineskin, Winery and Wine Bottler, and how do I get Wine to *ACTUALLY* work in Mountain Lion?

Ok, so this is my first post here and I am admittedly terrible at forums. Someone might say, "This was addressed in the ___________ thread by __________! Go read it!" --- that may be so but I've spent enough hours trying to google this problem into submission to no avail based on what is apparently working for others, so I would like a chance to get specific answers to specific questions that aren't from Mar 2011, etc.
So first of all, I'm confused by all the various Wine programs/apps/whatevers. I've seen Wine, Wineskin, Winery, Wine Bottler, and at this point I wouldn't be surprised if there are even more than that. What's the difference between all of these and how do they work with one another? What do I actually need to get windows programs working?
All of my google searches have led me to people giving out fish, but no one giving out fishing lessons. I'm not a pro at mac and windows and all that, but I'm a fairly bright individual who gets VERY frustrated, very quickly, when I don't understand the why and how of something I'm attempting.
I've also found "answers" where the person attempting to help starts off helpful enough, but degrades into the most archaic of techno-babble after about 5-6 sentences. On the other hand, I've watched tutorials on youtube where the poster decides to skip (apparently crucial) sections of the tutorial, and mutters such gems as: "... you might wanna have to run Wine first before you can do anything, cuz I think it has to configure it and set up a bunch of stuff"
O.o
A happy medium between techno-babble and the most basic of explanations would be ideal for me, and I'd imagine for others as well.
Here is a summarized history of my relationship with Wine:
Diablo II - I downloaded this awesome thing which ended up being... uh... I guess Diablo II in a Wineskin "wrapper". I'm not sure, all I know is that it's a D2 icon, and if I go to 'show package contents', it's got C drive, Program Files, et cetera inside of it. I double click it, it launches D2, and it works like a dream. <3
'Vanilla Install' - That's what I heard someone call it. It was the command/terminal style install using xquartz and xcode found at http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/. I followed every instruction to the letter, and got all the way to '$ sudo port install wine', at which point it started going smoothly, free from the possible error he described regarding the installation of xcode, and then just failed after I left the room to use the restroom and came back. Please don't ask me to repeat what the error was, because honestly, after reading more things on the interwebs, I'm confused as to why it's even necessary to go through all of that, so I'd rather not try that route again anyways, rendering the error message quite possibly irrelevant.
Wine + Wine Bottler - So I decided to try to seek out an easier method, as I know that one must exist that doesn't involve command lines. I found a video tutorial at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0BBkISOcEA, and oh man would it be great if that method had actually worked. Again, I followed all instructions provided to procure my free fish, and at the point in the video where he declares that "xquarts or x11 will open" - it doesn't open. Nothing opens. I was trying to install Star Sonata, btw.
So here I am, thoroughly worn out, frustrated at all the random places Wine is installed on my mac now, and just want someone to explain it all, from top down, without getting toooooooo technical on me. I know that might be asking a lot...

## I know that the poster has already found a solution, but the following is a possible answer for others that have similar issues.
For Winebottler, just go to their website and download it. Run the program. Choose .wine as your prefix (best choice) or whatever suits you best. You'll need a functional X11. If you can't use the one that comes with your mac, download the latest one from the website.
If your issue is one with Winebottler's Wine not running correctly due to X11, then you have a pretty ugly problem, although a simple upgrade is the best solution (Upgrade XQuartz.app).
http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/#part-1
The above website is the easiest way to get REAL wine on your computer. First of all, Wineskin WInery, etc. are NOT WINE. They are 3rd party apps that may use Wine or may have originally part of Wine, but they are no longer up to date with Wine. WineBottler is currently up to date with the stable releases of Wine (but not the maintenence releases).
For the website tutorial and to run Wine on your mac without using a thrid party app, you will need to know a few things.
First, you will need to know basic control of the command line. That means, sudo (you must know the administrator password to your computer), and the forms of cd (change directory).
Second, you will need Xcode. Download 4.2 (stable) or whatever other versions you want, but beware: It is over 1 GB, and you will need time for it to work.
Third, you will need to get MacPorts and configure it. The tutorial should have this data.
When you download wine (use sudo port install wine-devel for the latest development release of wine), it will first download a lot of dependencies. This will take a while. After that, it will download wine itself.
After obtaining wine, to run a program, open the terminal.app window.
cd desktop/XYZ/ZYZ\ WRQ
The above will first enter the desktop, then folder XYZ, then folder ZYZ WRQ. From here,
wine th11e.exe
Or whatever executable you are trying to open. (Using Subterranean Animism as my example).
It should, in theory, run the program. Watch the terminal for errors. If there is an X11 problem, then it's not wine acting up. If the app crashes or has other issues, check the Wine Application Database to see if your app is compatible with wine.
If you have any further questions or other things, feel free to reply; I may or may not get back to you, but there's a good chance that someone will come in eventually. Otherwise, the Wine Wiki should have some information.

What are the chances of this thing actually working?

Hey there, over the next few sentences you'll probably be thinking I'm a hobo or something but whatever. I found an iPhone on the footpath today and it was kinda wet from inside. When I got it home and took it apart to see how much water was inside, there wasn't that much, a bit damp though. My dad dried it off with a blow dryer (Yeah I know, he isn't great with electronics) and cracked the screen right between the middle trying to open it up. I chargered it a little and I could faintly see the Apple logo. The screen went black shortly after and I couldn't do anything. Sometimes I can see something that looks like a USB plug but it was hard to tell. Any of the computers with iTunes in my house don't recognize the phone. The screen might turn into the Matrix's code (you know, all the green numbers lined up?) if you looked at it from real far and had sunglasses on.
I think it's an Iphone 3G, so what are the chances of this thing actually working? Is it completely busted, would it be worth taking it to get repaired, selling it for spare parts or just throwing the thing away?

It doesn't belong to you. Turn it in to the police.

HT204350 How do I know if the migration assistant is actually working? I got as far as a screen that says it is "Transferring your information" and there is what looks like a progress bar but that has moving blue diagonal lines rather than any progress

The fan on my target computer is whirring away and so it sounds like something is happening. But there doesnt seem to be any way of telling from either the traget or the source computer if the thing is actually working. How many hours should I wait before concluding that something has gone wrong? I have over 100GB of data so I am not expecting it to be fast!
Is it normal for the source computer to just drop out of migration asssistant at the begining, or should there be some sort of indication that it is working? What about if I use activity monitor is there any clues I should be looking for there?

Hello gatormommy97,
If that migration happens to still be chugging along, you're in luck. We've got step-by-step instructions for performing an Erase & Install on the new MacBook Pro. This will restore it to 'factory defaults,' just like it came out of the box for the first time, allowing you to start fresh with an alternative migration method.

IPod Car Integration -- What car models actually work?

As I am sure you know, iTunes doesn't support 64 bit versions of Windows and the gear drivers you need for burning are not supplied.
Many people have got burning to work by downloading the 64 bit drives from the gear site:

What Video Cards ACTUALLY WORK with my G5

I have a Dual core 2.3GHz G5 with a GeForce 6600. I really want to upgrade my video card, but as usual, I can't figure out if any card will actual work. I'm really interested in the 7800 GT and GTX. Nvidia's site says that the entire 7 series of cards work in OS X, but none of the companies that actually make the cards have any mention of Mac support. I'm so frustrated because Nvidia doesn't make any cards, the companies that make them make 4 different versions of each card and don't sell them and the places that do sell them know nothing about them. So can someone PLEASE, post links to the actual cards that work in my machine. thank you.

Nvidia doesn't make the Video Cards.
They make the chips (GPU) that run on the Video Card itself. Most of the Nvidia chipsets are supported by Mac OS X.
The problem is that all Video Cards carry a firmware PROM chip that contains the early-boot code for the card as well as the card's internal operating parameters.
There is a PC version of the firmware, commonly called the VGA BIOS, and there is a Mac version of the firmware, which is designed for OpenFirmware.
The two are completly seperate from each other. A PC card will not operate in a Macintosh, nor will a Macintosh card operate in a PC.
That's your problem- is that the Nvidia chipsets support Mac OS X, but the firmware on the card (which, is up to the manufacture which one they include) may or may not support the Macintosh platform.
Saying that, the only two cards available for the G5 is the 7800 GT and the Quadro 4500. Both cards contain the Apple firmware required for the card to work in a G5.
There are no other manufactures who offer Mac G5 compatible solutions, probably due to Apple's unwillingness to release the said Mac firmware for third party video cards. Thus, it's really one or the other, and Welovemacs.com seems to be the only retailer offering ether of the cards for seperate purchase.

How to get X-FI to actually work on Vi

1. Uninstall Creative Programs
2. Uninstall Creative Drivers
3. Use Driver Sweeper to clean the last traces of 'em off
4. Install Daniel K's drivers.
Fixed everything for me. Stupid musical-chairs bug with the speaker channels sometimes rotating one or two channels to the left, lack of CMSS support, sound randomly turning off... EVERYTHING.
Honestly, Creative. What's going on How is it that one guy released a set of drivers back in FEBRUARY that got everything working for your pathetic equipment, when it's taken you four more months to release beta drivers that frankly DON'T WORK How sad is it for a multi-billion-dollar international company with history going back 20 years to not only get scooped by one guy on his home computer, but also fail to figure out how HE got YOUR equipment working better than you, half a year after the fact
Maybe Creative needs to reevaluate itself. Look around Google. Look at your own forums. People HATE you and your products. Maybe you guys need to stop rushing to rebadge all your crap with all the latest-and-greatest when none of it actually works. I believe that's called false advertising. Maybe you need to stop trying to slap "Fatalty" on all your products so spoiled little teenagers think they really need a $200 sound card to compete in games. Maybe you need to just stop thinking dollars and cents and focus on product quality.
You might have a monopoly on the soundcard market now, but the rate you're going, it won't last. And if you don't get your act together, your customers are going to wise up and leave for greener pastures soon.
Oh, and I should add: I only bought your X-Fi Platinum because my onboard audio had an annoying interference problem, and your soundcard was on clearance for $60. So I took a chance. And honestly, I regret it. If I could, I'd return it. I would NEVER have paid $00-200 for your junk, your poor driver support, and your attitude, and I'm never going to pay for it again.

Acutally, i dont feel the difference between original and modded one. Got Vistax64 X-fi gamer fatality pro, phenom 9850 and dual EN8800GTX.
Im not involved in Creative Company Issues, but as a common user from my point of view it looks like this:
Creative got swift kick in da nuts from micro$oft because they had created EAX and whole equipment relying on DirectSound shell by micro$oft that micro$soft for inconvincing reason (for them developed for many years DirectSound shell suddenly are useless) that software sound processors are less demanding (!) for system than DirectSound+memory on creative X-fi's . So they left Creative in situation that in what i truly symphatise with them. they've developed 5th(or 4th) generation of EAX that was relying on micro$oft shell (they left DirectX thought, but restricted it as a Vista Native. the point is (proved) that they developed it on XP) and suddenly, for no serious reason they just dropped this technology. Got it m8 There is a clone of DirectSound - OpenAL that came for linux but whole vista system doesnt created to work with. Try to implement driver which are able to communicate between processor and x-fi without DirectSound shell on which most x-fi features are based on, and stop whining, m8 . They can make stable driver but then you would whine about loss of EAX, Crystaliser and hardware support, which are unable to work with vista[tm] system. You will got stable driver though. Do you know hot the swift kick in the nuts taste, m8 I think that they should work to make driver with their own compatible shell instead of looking of compatibility with vista. POINT!

WRT610N disconnects and does not work with Vista or media center extenders like the DMA2200

Linksys and all other router manufacturers advertise the greatness of the wireless 5ghz band (especially with 802.11n), but I’m beginning to have my doubts. It is true that the 5Ghz band is hardly being used so you'll have virtually no one to compete with. However, the 5Ghz distance in no way compares to 2.4Ghz, and as a matter of fact, I find it to be quite terrible. At approximately 20 feet away, both my Linksys DMA2200 and HP notebook barely get 1 bar using the 5Ghz N band with my WRT610N router. In comparison, while using my 2.4Ghz WRT54g router, I get 5 full bars at that range, and at least 2 bars from anywhere else in my house.
I have all Linksys equipment in my house as I have been impressed with all of their 2.4Ghz in the past. However, I’ve recently upgraded everything to dual-band N equipment and found numerous flaws in each of the new devices, plus none of them really even play well together. My setup is: Linksys 610n router, DMA2200 media center extender, and a WUSB600N Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter for my laptop – all of which are currently using the most up-to-date firmware. Other devices include a WRE54G extender and Nintendo Wii.
Problem #1) The LELA software with the new N devices doesn't even recognize that my DMA2200 is a media center extender. Using LELA, I should be able to select my media extender and allocate more bandwidth for streaming media. However, since my extender only shows up as an “unknown network device” those options are greyed out. I tried to manually change the device to a media center, but still no go. I suppose you can manually allocate bandwidth in the router setup somewhere, but considering these are all Linksys products, it’s absolutely ridiculous that an option specifically incorporated in the LELA software for a Linksys Media Extender does not work!!!
Problem #2) If you are only using one system with the router, the router might actually work as intended. For most of us though there are going to be at least 2 or more systems connected to the router (wired, wireless, or a combination of the two) such as a PS3, Wii, laptop, PC, media extender, Xbox, etc. If that’s the case, you’re probably screwed because you WILL experience frequent dropouts… ESPECIALLY if just one those clients is a VISTA machine. Check the Linksys forums and you will find that this seems to be a problem with all of the new Linksys routers (610N, 310N, and 110).
Here is a Microsoft article that explains the issue
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233/en-us
Problem #3) Because of problem #2 I will never be able to get rid of the dropouts since my network is using one of Linksys’s media center extenders. The DMA2200 is essentially a VISTA PC to some extent and accepts DHCP requests the same as a VISTA PC. Since it is not really a PC though, there is no registry modification that can be done to alleviate the VISTA problem (not that the registry mod really works anyways). So as long as I try to use my DMA2200 wirelessly with my WRT610N router, the frequent dropouts will occur and there’s nothing I can do about it. This is REALLY TERRIBLE since the DMA2200 is specifically designed to be used with the WRT610N router in order to take advantage of the 5Ghz band and wireless N transfer rates. You absolutely need 5Ghz wireless N to efficiently stream HDTV WIRELESSLY, but if you lose your connection every 10 minutes, it is impossible to watch any type of streaming media.
Problem #4) As mentioned already, when the “N” 5Ghz range is working on the WRT510N router, the distance sucks compared to standard 2.4Ghz G, N or mixed mode networks. You can try to make it better by strictly using N products, disabling the 2.4ghz band all-to-gether, and using the wider 40mhz frequency, but it doesn’t really help. The higher 5Ghz band is a more concentrated signal and therefore simply does not reach as far as the lower 2.4ghz band. I wonder why all of these new products state that the 5Ghz range will increase your distance, when in fact it actually makes it worse?
So… basically, this router does nothing that it claims too and is basically rendered useless on any network with a VISTA machine. This has not been addressed by any Linksys firmware updates or VISTA software updates so there is no reason to even consider using this router if you you’re using VISTA or some type of VISTA Media Center Extender such as the Linksys DMA2200.
Although, I’ve always sworn by Linksys in the past, the amount of wasted time, frustration, and horrible support has really changed my view about them. I’ve reverted back to my old trustworthy WRT54g router and had to run cable through my house so that I wouldn’t have to box my DMA2200 extender up and let it collect dust in the attic. It’s really disappointing that I spent all this money to buy this equipment specifically because they’re supposed to work together, but in fact they don’t. Plus what’s the point of having top notch wireless equipment if you have to run cables in order for them to work?

I have fixed all the IP adresses to avoid the DHCP problem but I still have problems.
I have sereval scenarioes:
1. MC < 1Gb wire > WRT610N < 5.0n WIFI > MX
I can see HDTV on this one but it disconnects
2. MC < 1Gb wire > WRT610N < 2.4b/g WIFI > MX
No HDTV and disconnections
3. MC < 2.4b/g WIFI > WRT610N < 2.4b/g WIFI > MX
No HDTV but no disconnections - but very slow and streaming like youtube
4. MC < 100Mb wire > WRT610N < 2.4b/g WIFI > MX
No HDTV but nice picture - testing for disconnections right now - 30+ min.
Result:
This test was very good. Stabil streaming, no disconnects for an hour. Won't support HDTV but the rest seem to work fine.
5. MC < 100Mb wire > WRT610N < 5.0n WIFI > MX
Not tested yet - looking forward to this - might bring me HDTV.
Result:
This gives HDTV but there is a problem with stability on the streaming but very difficult to see on the picture. Testing for disconnects - now tested for 30 min. - no disconnects.
This looks really promissing.
I am pretty sure that the WRT610N have a problem in the switching part of the router specially when it has to switch from 1G to WIFI. I bought the WRT610N to get HDTV on WIFI and Cisco markets the DMA and WRT610N as a perfect match. But it definately have problems - i still do not understand their silence about this.
I will come back with the last results when I have them

64 bit ATM deluxe actually works, you just can't install

I actually could hardly believe it. Is Adobe Really that lazy that they can't just repackage the installer so it will work on a 64bit version of windows? Well, it seems so.
I went to my coworkers computer, who has the same version of the software as me, and simply copied the whole folder from his computer to the (x86) program files folder.
When I tried to run it, the software gave me an error that there was no database in windows, but it let me create one. Everything worked fine.
I added our company font set, and they are working fine in Photoshop and Illustrator. I didn't check AE, Encore, or Premier, but I assume those are fine as well.
So it looks like all you have to do is install it on another 32bit computer, and just copy the files over. Someone should test that on Vista too. I hear it doesn't work in Vista? Just make sure if you install it somewhere else Just to copy it to the licensed version, you uninstall it on that computer after you are finished copying it.
Hopefully Adobe will get their act together and start making these things compatible with an OS they Claim to be obsolete. 80,000 people are at our company and it looks like everyone who uses Photoshop will be converting to XP64 within the next 9 months. Hmm, obsolete? I think they fail to realize that large corporations don't use the newest software, not that their software is Really that compatible with Vista either. lol
Hope this post helped some of you guys. I'm still laughing inside that something so simple worked.

To understand why ATM is no longer supported, you need to understand the history of the product and its original purpose going back to 1989 and the
Font Wars between Adobe on one side, with its Type 1 font technology from PostScript, and a coalition of Apple and Microsoft on the other side with their TrueType font technology developed by Apple but liberally "borrowed" from Imagen, a laser printer company from the 1980s.
The first version of ATM for Macintosh was released in December 1989 strictly to allow host-based copies of Type 1 fonts to be rendered "on-the-fly" for the screen as opposed to the user having to install bitmap versions of such fonts tuned to a particular screen resolution and point size. The Windows version followed within a year or so. Effectively, ATM blunted an attempt by both Apple and Microsoft to put Adobe out of business by locking Type 1 fonts out of the desktop. ATM allowed use of fully-scalable Type 1 technology on both Macintosh and Windows before TrueType was actually available for either Macintosh or Windows. This unholy alliance of Apple and Microsoft also pushed a Microsoft-provided clone of PostScript, TrueImage, licensed from Cal Bauer (that's a separate story but needless to say, that CloneScript was really poor and failed very quickly; Apple came running back to Adobe for Adobe PostScript for their new LaserWriters without ever actually releasing a product based on Microsoft's TrueImage).
Subsequently, Adobe released its Multiple Master variant of Type 1 fonts that provided the facility to vary weights, widths, and other aspects of fonts, generating custom "instances" of fonts to better match the designer's needs. ATM was used to control the building and installation of Multiple Master instances.
Over the years, two additional functions were added to ATM. The more recent was support for OpenType CFF fonts (i.e., OpenType fonts with Type 1 outlines) and in the "Deluxe" version of ATM, a very rudimentary font manager.
Over the years, i.e. by the time Windows 2000 and MacOS X shipped, there original raison d'etre for ATM was gone given that beginning with these OS versions, Type 1 and OpenType CFF font support was now native within the operating system based on Apple and Microsoft individually integrating Adobe code into the operating system. The only purpose left for ATM under Windows 2000 and Windows XP was to support creation and installation of Multiple Master font instances. Given that Adobe stopped developing new Multiple Master fonts back in the late 1990s and shortly thereafter stopped licensing them, the need for Multiple Master support outside of Adobe's applications themselves (which still support existing Multiple Master instances, either those primary instances delivered with the fonts or user-created instances) diminished to next to nothing.
The only function left to ATM was that of
font management, historically the weakest aspect of ATM Deluxe.
Adobe then had to make a decision in terms of the future of ATM. The bottom line was that given the relatively weak font management capabilities of ATM Deluxe - it provided no auto-activation, was based on very ancient code that was incompatible with new OS versions, and was fairly incompatible with Adobe's new applications, Adobe had to measure the cost of developing, marketing, and supporting an advanced, new generation font management program competitive with other products already out in the marketplace performing similar functions. Simply stated, the decision made at the time was that (a) given the cost of developing, marketing, and supporting a new, industrial strength font manager, (b) given existing reasonable quality font managers available from third parties that seemed to meet the market's need, and (c) given what users were actually willing to pay for such software, it was not worth Adobe making the necessary investment to create a "next generation" ATM.
Could that decision be re-evaluated some day? Maybe although it is unlikely that such a re-evaluation will yield a different decision! But for the time being, Adobe Type Manager is a product that is no longer marketed or supported.
Can you coerce ATM Lite or ATM Deluxe to install on 32-bit Windows Vista? Probably. Will it run on Vista? Possibly although we have heard mixed reports and Adobe won't support you if you mess up your system trying to use it. 64-bit Windows (both XP and Vista) is a different story. The ATM installer is a 16-bit program that simply won't run on these 64-bit systems (same is true with the old
Adobe Universal PostScript Printer Driver Installer). Can the ATM code itself run - Andy Engelkemier claims it does, but don't count on it properly interfacing with Adobe Creative Suite applications properly or respecting the multiple user environment. Given that other fairly competent font manager software is readily available at reasonable cost, you should carefully evaluate the value of your time continuing to run an ancient, unsupported, low functionality font manager with no future versus migrating to products are still being developed and supported by their developers.

<X-Fi Audio - Subwoofer NOT working in Vista 32-bit Ultimate!I I have WIndows Vista 32-bit Ultimate and Sound Blaster X-Fi Audio installed and with the factory drivers (I tried another set earlier and they did not work, so I reinstalled the original drivers which worked, at least partially). Until now I only listened to music using my headphones, but I tried today to plug-in my 5. Genius system (50W RMS) and everything works fine EXCEPT the subwoofer does not produce any sound at all!! The ONLY way to make it work is go to Control Panel -> Sound -> Speakers -> press Configure and then click the Test button in the dialog that appears (or click the subwoofer icon to make it produce a very nice bass sound - which I absolutely love, but it's the only way to make my subwoofer work!!!). Please guys, help me find out what the problem is. All help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you my friend,I have done as you have mentioned (made sure the DLL did not stay there when I rebooted before I installed your version), and now I have the version which you have built. However, I am still unable to hear the subwoofer I am so sad... even my default on-board card supports the 5. just great, and I love the sound of that, but I was hoping for something better from Creative - instead, all I got was a soundcard I can only use with my headphones at the moment because of a faulty driver...
Did you enable Bass Redirection?
Run Console Launcher, click on Speakers and Headphone -> choose 5. Speakers.
Then click on Bass (Bass Management) and enable Bass Redirection.

Did it actually work or did it just seem to work. What I mean is, did you try all the little applications on the PCSuite?
Is that an N95 in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?!?
Life's too important to take seriously.

How to show no. of actual working days in Payslip in case of +ve time mgt

Dear Experts,
We have a requirement of showing no. of actual working days in payslip, which should be Calendar Days-(Paid+Unpaid absence). I created an w/t 1WRD for actual working days. Our paid absence w/t is 2006 and unpaid absence is 2005 copied from /845 and /846 respectively, both the absences are included in absence valuation table and working fine in that respect. But issue is i wrote a small PCR for calculating actual working days like below:
ZWRD
     NUM=TKSOLL Set
     NUM-E 2005
     NUM-E 2006
    ADDWTE1WRD
But still its fetching full working days i.e. calendar days 30 or 31 not deducting paid or unpaid absence for a month.
Pls help, what else should i do.
Regards
Tan

Sorry, i am unable to paste RT, but its exactly as below
01, April, 2011
1WRD Working days     30.00
2006 Paid Absence       2.00
02, May, 2011
1WRD Working days     31.00
2005 Unpaid Absence   1.00

I seem to have fixed my problem of randomly occuring errors in my filterwheel control. But I don't know why this should actually work.

Hi there,
I am using a thorlabs fw102B filterwheel. It's connected via USB (simulating COM port, that's what it says in MAX). The second device is a camera, also connected via USB. The application is running 24/7, at least that's what it's supposed to do. LabView version is 8.6.
The LabView code I wrote for this, was never really finished, meaning I totally ignored error handling in the first program version. That never bothered me, because the program ran for weeks and months without any problem. Whenever I had to reboot my system it was not LabViews fault, but I was changing something else.
Recently I was running into problems with the filterwheel (after a system reboot). However, I don't understand the error in the first place: The filterwheel is supposed to change position every 15 minutes, in between the camera is taking exposures, then the data is written to an ASCII-file (only ~156 kB). At first the error occured just once: the filterwheel was set to the wrong position for about 15 minutes, which might happen, as it is not really could in counting. A few days later it was in that wrong positon for one hour, so it didn't respond to the "move" order four times in a row. Finally I didn't move at all anymore. The error message I was getting is "0xFFFFFFF unkown status code". In my opinion the communcation to the filterwheel got lost somehow. I don't know a better explantion.
But why should it recover after some time?
The problem usually occured at night, when nobody is there to watch.
I investigated the behaviour in a second setup (see attachment). There is only the filterwheel connected. Through randomly unplugging the USB or power cable I was able to reproduce 'session handle is not valid', 'unkown status code' and 'session handle lost'. The program enters the 'true case', the session is to be closed and resetted, then it shall be reinitialized. This actually works as soon as the cables are reconnected. But why?
The close.vi still returns 'session handle is not valid', The reset.vi returns the same, but initialize.vi returns 'No Error' and the system works again.
What am I not getting here?
I read some threads here and somebody mentioned for another instrument/problem to use the 'reset' command twice. So I tried 'close-initialize', 'reset-reset-initialize', 'reset-initialize' but only 'close-reset-initialize' works (not surprising). Yet I still get the same errors (probe 1 and 2). Am I introducing more bugs without knowing than I fixed?
I AM CONFUSED.

Hello Ulrich,
thank you for your answer. Concerning the dataflow I agree and it is what I usually do. Actually I follow the dataflow paradigm whenever there is no problem (the 'false case' in the screenshot):
“FW102x Initialize.vi” -> “FW102x Get Position.vi” -> “FW102x Set Position.vi”.
Whenever there is a mistake, this just doesn't work with these drivers. The sequence
“FW102x Initialize.vi” -> “FW102x Get Position.vi” -> ///error/// -> “FW102x Close.vi”, “FW102x Reset.vi” ;; “FW102x Initialize.vi”
will give me errors for “FW102x Close.vi”, “FW102x Reset.vi” and “FW102x Initialize.vi” reporting "session handle not valid". However, if I "bypass" the instrument handles directly from the first "Initialize" to "Close" and "Reset", they will report the same error, but the second "Initialize" will work again. I can even merge the first two frames and execute "Close" and "Reset" at the same time to do so. But whenever I try something else, e.g. do the 'correct' wiring, I am unable to close, reset or reinitialize. I have to restart LabView completely, to make the vi work again. So I guess the session is still hanging around somewhere in memory, but I can't access it anymore.
Surprisingly, wherever I put Probes on the data handle wires they show the correct "ASRL5::INSTR" (with or without correct wiring). But only the "Bypass" wire makes the vi work. Since you couldn't find the drivers in the driver network, I guess they might just run into problems, if an error occurs.
But thanks for your comment anyway. The problem is fixed for the moment. It's just that I prefer to actually know what I am doing here instead of producing some code I'd rather not show anyone.
