Why Won't this driver work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got my sleek back Sleek from CL. I have Win98 and wanted to use the PlayerForSure driver. I installed the driver resart my computer connteced my player to my computer and nothing. I tired this 3 times and NOTHING. Someone PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You.

tandelia,
Are you on Windows98SE or Windows98? There's is a slight different between the two OS and only Windows98SE should be use as there is very limited or no support for USB in Windows98. You should also try getting the latest USB driver, chipset driver available from your mainboard manufacturer website and see if it helps with USB connection.

    The reason it wasn't working was because you were calling the method after you had set the frame visible, so you saw no change. On top of that, jframe.select.getWidth() only works after the frame is visible in this case. So it's best to set a fixed size for one of them, then use getWidth, or as I did... it's the same thing. I also changed the centerPanel method, I'm not sure if all that's exactly needed, but you can change it back if you think you'll need it.

  • Why won't this Applet work? Any help?

    I followed a tutorial, though the tutorial left me to do a lot of the work. Which is good.
    Anyway, I finished the Applet, but I get a message in the bottom corner of the window saying "Applet not initialized."

    All of the files are in the folder.

    As said on a mac - great, it is all where it should be, but
    on a Wiindows - the nav section is under the content and the
    content is not floating right enough.
    Anyone have any ideas where I am going so wrong or am I
    destined to use tables forever??

    Clearly, IE6 is not following that directive, since you can
    see that it's
    much wider in that browser.
    I am not sure why it's not properly sized, to be honest....

  • Inline Subclassing: Why won't this override work?

    I'm writing some unit tests (I'm new to JUnit and JMock), and have been having trouble figuring out how to mock an object that doesn't implement an interface. As a work around, I wrote the following:
    ExecuteSupportSvc ess = new ExecuteSupportSvc() {
              @Override
              private MessageHelper createMessageHelper() {
                   return new MessageHelper() {
                        @Override
                        public Integer countMessages(String a, String b, String c) {
                             return 1;
         };I get the error:
    The method createMessageHelper() of type new ExecuteSupportSvc(){} must override a
    superclass methodThere definitely is a method createMessageHelper in my superclass... am I missing something??

  • Why won't this iPhone work with this SIM??

    I recently sold my iPhone 3GS on eBay after getting my iPhone 4. Before I shipped it, I took out the SIM, and wiped it of its data. I shipped it out, and now the buyer is telling me that he cannot activate it with his SIM card or service. He says he has the data plan etc. I didn't unlock it or anything... All I did was take out the SIM, wipe it, then ship it. What are some possible reasons he cannot use it with his service? (which is AT&T)

    No, the SIM is sorta unique for the iPhone. He has to tell AT&T he has an iPhone, they will give him new SIM for it. That SIM will work in iPhone (or other phones). But you cannot put a SIM from another phone into an iPhone.
    Sorry, but you are mistaken.
    The iPhone 2G, 3G, and 3GS all use a standard SIM. That is what we are discussing here.
    The iPhone 4 has a microSIM. That is not the OP's issue.
    ANY SIM from any AT&T phone (excluding iPhone 4) will fit into the iPhone and work with it as long as it's a 3G SIM, it should have the 3G fireball logo on it. If it is not a 3G SIM, then the purchaser can go to any AT&T corp store and they will generally give the user a new SIM free of charge.

  • Functions in a For Loop defining objects from an Array. . .Why Won't This Work?!

    I'm trying to put these functions into a Loop to conserve
    space. Why won't this work?
    .

    Yeah, sly one is right. You can not have the "i" inside the
    onRollOver function, what you have to do is: As the movieClip class
    is dynamic you can create a property of the movieClip which stores
    the value if the "i". And then, inside the onRollOver function, you
    have to make reference to that property.
    for (i=0; i<2; i++) {
    this.regArray
    .iterator = i;
    this.regArray.onRollOver = function () {
    showRegion(regArray[this.iterator]);
    this.regArray
    .onRollOut = function () {
    hideRegion(regArray[this.iterator]);

    Hello Jesslb23,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more about troubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • HT201398 Why won't podcast app work on iPhone 5 after ios 8.1.3 update?

    Why won't podcast app work on iPhone 5 after ios 8.1.3 update?
    I've restarted the phone and itunes several times, have uninstalled and reinstalled the app on the phone and itunes separately, and it still just shows 'Installing" under the greyed out app.

    I have the same problem with an iPhone 5s. All podcast fail to work on the phone since updating to iOS 8.1.3. What is going on? Is Apple taking this problem serious?

    Why won't quicktime player work? I own Mac Book Pro with Retina Display and connote get the quicktime player to open or play quicktime movies?

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

  • Will this drive work in firewire?

    I have a 80GB Western WD00BB-OOJKCO drive as my backup. If I upgrade to the new iMac will I be able to use this drive as a firewire and upload all my applications back onto my new iMac? I presently do my backup with Carbon Copy Cloner as a bootable backup.
    I know I would have to purchase a firewire case for the drive, but will this drive work in a firewire case?
    Thanks

    Don't see why not assuming you have all the files required by your applications fully backed up. Some applications install data outside of the Applications folder. Some record serial numbers into invisible files. If all the data are not properly transferred then you may need to reinstall some applications.
    If you are moving from a PPC to an Intel Mac, then I suggest reading the following;
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:
    Intel In Macs
    Apple Guide to Universal Applications
    MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
    MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications
    MacUpdate List of Intel-Compatible Software
    Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode or copying the critical contents to CD and DVD or an external hard drive will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.
    Basically the instructions you should follow are:
    1. Backup your data first. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    2. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    3. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
    4. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    4. Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
    In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (* This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ copy any preferences needed for third-party applications
    /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
    Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
    Credit goes to another forum user for this information.
    If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
    5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.
