Win xp Pro and card will not w

I had a sound blaster li've with win 2k and it worked fine. The comp is a AMD 64 bit 3200+ with msi K8n Neo board, gig of ram, etc I recently upgraded to win xp and the card does not work. I bought a newer card, audigy, in hopes that it might be newer and compatible with XP. Guess what...not a chance. I have been on phone 3 times with Creative Labs and got a quick fix each time after a 30 minute hold and none have worked. I have thus far:?-installed-call?told turn off all virus software-reinstalled with virus software all disabled-call?2 told to do clean install-done clean install-call?3 told to download windows media-downloaded windows media SDK 9.5-reinstalled clean again-still not working?when i run diagnostic it tells me that the card passes but midi driver, wave driver, etc all fail. I have seen this as a constant problem, but have not seen a real solution. Anyone have any ideas?

Expand what you mean by 'does not work'
Does it show in device manager?
Have you got the latest drivers installed via the creative website?
Do you get ANY sound be it via mp3 or cd or a movie?
Right click on the my computer icon
select manage
expand the system tools - event viewer - and look in application and system tabs for any sound related errors.
After you did a clean install of xp did xp pick the soundcard up in device manager or did it say unknown device? Did you install the drivers from a supplied cd or via creative website?

  • I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard.

    Good Morning,
    I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard. I shut it off took out the battery, reinstalled the battery. Then I put in the Snow Leopard CD and booted up to disk utility and The Snow Leopard partion would not show up?? I do see the microsoft partion.
    I also rebooted holding down the shift key and still no Snow Leopard
    Could you please tell me what I can do, what keys do I press on restart any advice to get Snow leopard back.
    thank you.

    Have you restarted holding down the Opt key?  That procedure should give you a gray screen with all of the partitions that exist.  Then select the SL partition for boot.  Also go to System Preferences and Startup Disk, unlock the lock and select the SL partition as the default boot partition, then relock.

  • I bought a new macbook pro and iTunes will not let me purchase anything. All computers unregistered. This computer is registered. Cannot purchase anything using my apple id and my apple id works because i buy things on my i phone. What is the problem

    I bought a new macbook pro and now every time i try to buy anything with my apple id it doesn't go through. I tried Ibooks and iTunes but neither one will work. I have registered this computer and even tried unregistering all the other computers but that did not do anything. I also checked my form of payment and that is not the problem either because i have no problems what so ever buying anything on my iPhone or my desktop computer.
    It is just this computer.
    I try to buy something and something pops up and says... "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-45054). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later."
    And i have been trying later for 2days now.

    Have you tried repairing disk permissions : iTunes download error -45054

  • I have downloaded footage from a Sony Z1 on to a hard drive which I've put on to my Mac Book Pro and it will not read in iMovie. Can somebody help me?

    I shot three  video clips on a Sony Z1 camera. As I only had the cable to plug it in to my PC, I uploaded the footage on to the PC and then copied it on to my hard drive. I then put the hard drive into my MacBook Pro so that I could continue to edit it on there, however it will not read the files. The audio is WAV and the video footage has come up as M2V files. I need to be able to import it in to iMovie to edit however it is not letting me do so.
    Is it because they are M2V's or do I need to upload the footage directly on to the MacBook and not on to a PC first?
    If anyone could help, it would be massively appreciated! Thanks in advance!
    Mollie

    re-post in the iMovie forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie.  Good luck.

  • Just got the mac pro and mouse will not connect.

    I've googled the heck out of it and can't find anything wrong.  At this point I don't know what else to say but, the mouse isn't working. Checked batteries, went through ALL processes, and nothing seems to work.  All I get it the green status light blinking or it will say it's connected for 30 secs but doesn't do anything. If anyone else has any other help or info I would appreciate it.

    How far is you mouse from the back of your mac pro and is there anything between those two points?  Beyond about 3 to 4 feet the MM on a mac pro for many people is problematic.  Here's a 24-page thread on this topic:
    Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
    Bottom line, use a bluetooth dongle (that what I use -- IOGear GBU421) or wire up an external antenna to the bluetooth card inside your mac pro.
    As an experiment you could try doing a smc and pram reset and keep the mouse close to the back of your machine and seeing if it pairs up and stays connected.

  • HT4557 My MacBook Pro and iPad will not pick up the Air Play or the Home sharing on my AppleTV which was working yesterday

    I was previously able to use my AppleTV with airplay and iTunes home sharing to my 2 macbook pros and my iPad. However, it has suddenly stopped connecting to both airplay and home sharing, even though both are turned on and the correct itunes account has been logged into on all devices. We have reset AppleTV but that has not resolved the issue. There is no airplay icon on any of the macbooks or iPad. Has anyone else experienced this and found any solutions? Thanks.

    It has always been set up as WiFi and until this weekend it worked well - now won't connect.

  • My macbook pro and iphone will not connect to the internet

    For three days my macbook and Iiphone have not been able to connect to the internet.The macbook says the wifi is connected with a green light, but when I open google chrome and attempt to go on any website it says "This webpage is not available." I have tried everything including restarting the computer, restarting the router/modem and deleting/re-adding wifi to the networks list. the iphone says that the internet is connected but when I go to use an app like FAcebook it says that there is a network error. I have even called our service provider about this. The imac in our home has no problem connecting to the internet. Any ideas on what is going on?

    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant. How far do you get?

  • I have a new Macbook Pro and it will not

    I have a new macbook pro, and I recently tried to reboot from my Leopard Install DVD. Everytime it starts up I get he freezing process screen and have to hold the start button to restart the system. I cannot fix the hard drive because the computer won't boot up.
    Do I have to buy Disk Warrior again?
    Thanks

    I am using the Snow Leopard DVD to try to boot up. It crashs with the screen I told you about. I tried using the option key and it shows the DVD, but once I select it, it starts to boot and then crashes. Is this a problem because I have upgraded my os from the Apple update icon?
    Thanks

  • Trying to install Adobe Acrobat X Pro and it will not install.

    It says "the wizard was interrupted before Adobe Acrobat X Pro could be completely installed." Not sure what is interrupting the installation. It is a PC with Windows 7 64-bit. I tried installing twice already.

    Yes. My problem is fixed. I went through the forums and found a solution from user silvasilva3 .
    Running a check disk worked.
    Thanks

  • I just purchased a new Macbook Pro and netflix will not play on it. anyone else have similar problems?

    I just purchased a Macbook Pro. When I sign into Netflix and open a movie I get a Digital Rights Management Error (error N8151) screen. restarting the browser does not solve the problem.

    Shootist007 It has to do with the first reply to the OP's question, and Joseph Albanese2, that referenced article has to do with "hackintosh's".  scratch66 - what web browser are you using?

  • Out of nowhere, this morning I turned on my MacBook Pro and iPhoto will not launch.  What can I do?  Do I need to reinstall and will I lose photos?

    Okay... I'm looking for a generic option for playing Flash videos that doesn't involve Adobe's plugin. Interactive Flash content doesn't matter; only videos. - Gnash and swfdec are right out, they're even worse with the CPU use than the Adobe plugin.
