Would a Gigabyte 7DX mobo and SB Live 5.1 work ok together? No conflic

Hi, I was considering getting one of the refurbed SB Li've 5.'s on this site, and was wondering if there are any known conflicts between the Gigabyte 7DX motherboard and the SB Li've 5., because I had heard that in some cases certain motherboards (a different one by Gigabyte, I believe) did conflict with the Li've 5..
Also... are there any known conflicts between the 7DX's Via 686B South Bridge and the Li've 5. I had heard that some Via chipsets and the Li've 5. don't play well together.
This is under Win2000, and ACPI is in effect, so the Li've 5. (in fact, anything in any of the pci slots) will be on the same IRQ as the AGP slot, the currently used onboard sound, and both USB controllers. The Gigabyte 7DX mobo also normally has a Creative PCI 28 (CT 5880) integrated into it, but in my case it seems to have been omitted, prob. b/c of it being OEM... incidentally.
In any case, thanks...

Hey Guys,
You seem to be knowing a lot about SB conflicts with Gigabyte MotherBoards, Thus I decided to ask you about what I have.
I have lately purchased the Gigabyte Motherboard Model No. GA-G975X, with the onboard Creative CA006 chip.
I use an Intel Pentium 4 processor 3.4GHz , 800MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache
I use .00GB of RAM
My OS is Microsoft Windows Professional Version 2002, Service pack
<SPAN>My Problems are:
<SPAN>The sound of a played media stops abruptly and keeps repeating with a high pitch till it shuts down the player software & the System.</LI>
<SPAN>The OS restarts.</LI>
<SPAN>I have noticed that the problem occurs if I try to use another program or service beside the one using SoundBlaster. (ex. dialup using a phone line.)
<SPAN>I tried the system with all creative drivers uninstalled the problem was gone.
<SPAN>Have you got any clues about the cause and the solution.
<SPAN>
<SPAN>Best Regards,
<SPAN>Vittorio

  • Desktop SMS and Windows Mail don't work properly together

    Hi
    thought I would post there here as been having some issues with my Windows Mail but my desktop computer doesn't suffer same issues and on a Vista forum where I posted my problem a couple of very helpful told me who to try solving the issues.
    One of them suddenly realised I'd said my laptop was a Toshiba and apparently the Desktop SMS and Windows Mail just don't work properly together so the person suggested unless I use it to uninstall it apparently amongst the technically trained its known that these two programs don't like each other and would explain why my desktop doesn't have the issue but laptop does.
    After resetting the Windows Mail (tutorial on a vista site http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/) Touch wood don't be put off by vistax64 as site does both 32 and 64 and followed Brink's excellent resetting Windows Mail (didn't restore any mail) and then uninstalled Desktop SMS and touch wood no more mail issues as has been giving me problems virtually daily with marking draft emails as read/sent.
    So had to click on forward then delete those bits and finish email to send it and touch wood since doing these two things as soon as send an email to draft or outbox get the number of emails in the brackets whereas before this wouldn't happen unless I closed the program then reopened it.
    Hoping these solutions have fixed my problem and wanted to share it with anybody else who wants to read this thread and would recommend the Vista 64 site as they're all really helpful over there and speak in non technical terms for those of us not technically trained.
    Debbie

    I have marked this as answered as it was more a post to help others who may have experienced the same problem I did and didn't get a reply or just didn't know that this program could be the reason their Windows Mail has issues that can't seem to be resolved any other way apart from ignore them and hope they don't get worse.

  • Aperture 3 and Time Machine don't work well together

    I've noticed that my Time Machine (10.6.2) creates large backups (at least 250 MB) when I've only opened up Aperture 3. No retouching, no adding of photo's (of course), no changes. Just opening Aperture and a bit of scrolling.
    Is there a way to prevent this? Is Time Machine perhaps backing up a cache? Where would I find this cache so I could perhaps exclude it from the TM?
    Thanks !

    the main idea of time machine is being able to restore your system to its latest state, or any state in time when it made a backup. in order to be able to do this, it just has to backup any file that's been changed, even if it's just a database having been touched by sqlite3. aperture 3 now saves the way you were viewing or where you were in a certain album or project, so when you come back to it, it takes you to exactly the same place. i guess it's necessary to write to a couple of database files to do that, even when you're just browsing. i kind of like this functionality.
    just three quick comments:
    -disk space is dirt cheap nowadays, so getting a big time machine backup disk shouldn't be any problem.
    -since getting previous versions of your aperture library back is usually not very likely to happen, what i do from time to time is go in to time machine, select my aperture library and delete all copies of it. this takes quite some time, but on the next backup, you'll have your current library backed up and a time machine volume with more space.
    -about it taking too long over wifi: backing up is a background process. does it slow down your other stuff while you're working? if so, let it run only when you're not at the computer, or hook up a big usb disk locally.

  • M4E and MS ISA server 2006 works well

    Just to let you know, M4E and MS ISA server 2006 works well together. A new feature is that you can actually publish all Exchange services on only 1 IP address: OWA, OMA, Outlook everywhere (RPC over https) and active sync. There is a little glitch with the OMA that is unresolved. Look at this thread:

  • MSI mobos and ATI graphics card incompability!

    I don´t know how well known this problem is but I´ve seen it on this forum and when googling the internet you can find it!
    The issue is that I can´t get my HD5450(Sapphire) to work on my MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2) mobo! The screen stays blank but the PC boots up and loads Windows.
    The HD5450 works fine on other mobos with different PSU´s ranging from 350 - 600 watts, but when trying different PSU´s on the 945GCM5-F V2 it doesn´t seem to help. I´ve also tried different bios settings, I´ve cleared CMOS, I´ve tried both dvi and vga outputs, I´ve disconnected as much as possible from the mobo except from the graphics card and the PSU, but nothing seems to help!
    Any ideas , someone?
    Tekrar!

    Thanks for all replies!
    I had this question on the AMD forum (AMD Game » AMD Technology » Radeon Graphics » MSI mobos and ATI graphics card incompability!) and here are some of the replies:
    "Well, its a known issue that older chipsets, like even AMD 580X chipset, doesn't work with 5k/6k series cards without a bios update from the manufacturer of the board.
    If its not working / posting / no video ect... You need to bug MSI to update the bios on the board to support the newer 5k/6k video cards. It may or may not happen. Several manufacturers have like Asus, and Gigabyte."
    "Same problem. 5450, MSI MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2). Done the same plus updated msi mainboard bios using msi live update 5 etc. Waiting for reply from makers of graphics card and mainboard.
    I should add from what I've read in other threads and forums it seems to be an old mainboard problem not just related to the MSI 945GCM5-F V2. Some other manufacturers of mainboards have sent customers bios upgrades to get their cards working.
    As for your pci express version question. Well these problems seem to emerge when people have plugged these pci express version 2.1 cards into their pci express 1st generation slots. What exactly the problem is here? Leave that for manufacturers/experts to answer."
    "Tek , its hit or miss on the board + chipset combination on if the card will work or not. Sometimes they will work in old boards, Sometimes they will not w/o manufacturerer support.
    Its completely random from what I've seen on the forums at the times they were released , when people with old boards were asking why it wasn't working. And what they did to solve it. Most all of them emailed the manufacturer. Some of those said manufactureres provided beta bios back to the customers, some said your out of luck."
    Its true, this MSI MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2) isn´t a new mobo, but when I get the 5450 to work without problem with an even older fujitsu mobo (last bios update long time ago) and a 350 watts PSU I think something´s wrong.
    So, a bios upgrade would probably fix it if the manufacturer (in this case MSI) just wanted to!
    Tekrar!

  • Why do none of the links that I put in my outgoing yahoo emails no longer underline themselves and become live when I finish typing them and hit the space bar?

    Previously, when I typed my email address in an outgoing email or cut and pasted a link from my browser bar the link would become 'live' when I hit the space bar or 'enter' key. The link would turn blue and underline itself and the person receiving the email could just click on that live link and be taken to the site. Now the link does not turn blue or underline itself and the receiver must cut and paste the link into their browser bar to use it.
    Why? I did not change anything in Yahoo or Mozilla.
    I have deleted and reinstalled Java to no effect. I am using html in Yahoo.

    As it turns out, many others have been having similar issues on other browsers. It seems that maybe Yahoo! is taking a much longer time to load or something like that. Either way, its been working on and off all week, and the same issue even showed up yesterday with IE 8 instead of FF. It still loads faster than IE 8, but again is spotty. Some people think the issue may be with mail.yimg.com or s.yimg.com, which I could see was the loading url in the left corner whenever Yahoo! Mail was refusing to work. A couple of people said blocking it caused the issue. Alternatively, some people suggested blocking it to solve the problem. Does anyone have any information on that? Again, I have no add-ons that would be blocking any urls, and my firewall hasn't any records of it. I really don't want to do anything to mess up my browsers more than they may have already been. Thanks for all of your help so far!

    I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money?
    Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound?

    Also, I am guessing as Logic only runs on MAC surely then they would not the best spec to recommend to run it?
    I see all the upgrades as additional memory or a faster process?
    Is a retina screen necessary, and why flash based storage against a 1TB hard drive, and a i5 instead of an i7
    The main reason for this purchase is to play live and use backing tracks and record found sounds and make creative songs.
    I hope you can provide some valuable feedback, as I am a longtime MAC user and see upgrades and changes happen regularly but the most important thing is the songs not the equipment.
    I have £500 already and willing to add another 500 to 700 pounds, then software extra.

  • Is PS Elements 12.0 compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail??

    Is the Organize/eMail part of Elements 12.0 compatible with my Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail?  I have never been able to make it work with my Elements 9.0 after many hours of trying.  The problem is acknowledged by Adobe and a solution offered but the solution does not work in any of my three Windows 7 computers.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Brian, Thank you for responding.  I actually have two different questions on the same topic so I'll discuss them one at a time.
    1.  When I purchased a new Windows 7 computer several years ago I also purchased PSE 9.0 because I had been told my old PSE 4.0 would not work with W7.  I didn't get around to installing it until last fall--PSE 4.0 was working fine on the XP machine and I didn't have the time.  PSE 9.0 installed fine but I could not email a  photo from the Organizer.  I recently got interested in fixing the problem which has turned out to be more difficult than I could imagine.  I found a lot of evidence on the web that to make it work with W7/Windows Live Mail  you needed to make some patches in the registry.  I tried to follow the Adobe instruction a number of times but when I got down to: " 4. On your desktop, double-click SetDefaultEmailClient.reg. If prompted, click Continue. Click Yes on the Registry Editor confirmation prompt." it would not work.   Double clicking would bring up the browser with some register-like statements:  [Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft Internet Mail Message] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft Internet Mail Message\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft Internet Mail Message\shell\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft Internet Mail Message\shell\open\command] @="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Live\\Mail\\wlmail.exe /mailurl:%1" ].  I did not get a "Continue" to click on or a "Yes on the Registry Editor confirmation prompt".   I got nothing to take action on that might cause the registry to be updated with the specified patches.  I'm no expert on modifying the registry and this is beyond my understanding.  It just didn't do what it implied it would and I'm lost.  I've tried in on my WLM 2011 computer and on my brand new W7 notebook computer with WLM 2012.  I tried it using my normal browser, Firefox, and using Internet Explorer.
    PSE 9.0 does indeed show Windows Live Mail as an option under Edit/Preferences/Sharing and I have selected it.  When I try to share a photo via email all seems to go normally to the end when I get the message:  "Elements Organizer could not finish creating your E-mail message."  And, that is really not very helpful.  When I Google on that "Elements Organizer could not finish creating your E-mail message" I find that I'm far from being the only one with this problem and people with PSE 8.0, PSE 10.0 and PSE 11.0 have reported the problem.  I've found no way to communicate with Adobe and even their main support number, 800-883-6687, comes on with a message "this number is temporarily unavailable"!! I've called over 50 times over several days. That seems quite unusual.  It seems like selling a software product that is incompatible with one of the most popular Microsoft operating systems and email clients would not be a good thing.   Sorry for all the words but I wanted to define the situation as well as I can.
    2.  Given all of the time I've I spent without solving the problem it seemed tossing my PSE 9.0 and switching to PSE 12.0 might have been a smart move many months ago.  And, I'm considering it now.  That is why I really would like to get some assurance from Adobe that the problem is fixed and that I will have no problems with PSE 12.0, at least with emailing from the Organizer.  The news that it is working for you is encouraging and I hope others will report on the luck they have had.  You say it works better with WLM 2012 than with WLM 2011 but I don't know what that means.  It seems that the minimum requirement is that any time you want to send a photo via email, it works!
    If anyone knows how you can contact Adobe, by phone or email, please let me know.
    Thank you very much, Brian.

  • BTYahoo and Windows Live Mail

    Hi,
    I use BTYahoo online mail, and Windows Live Mail desktop client. I want to be able to sync my Windows Live Mail address book with BTYahoo mail. Is this possible?
    Thanks
    Dave.

    Well I suppose the good news is that I am not the only person with this problem but it has made me think of a possible resolution.
    Trying to follow this logically, I am not getting any problems with my android devices which connect wirelessly so I am not sure that it can be slow broadband connection or intermittent line problems bearing in mind that my PC is connected to the router by ethernet cable which should be better than wifi. It would therefore seem to be the way that Windows Live Mail is connecting, and on checking I see that the server settings are different. I have matched my PC to the Android settings and I will report back the results.
    I can quite see if the server keeps dropping the connection for some reason or different servers settings are being used to access the emails then this might trigger the request for a new password.

  • PSE9 and Windows Live Mail - Help

    I am trying to send photos via "Share" email attachement and Windows Live Mail.  I get to the part where you are supposed to be sent to WLM, and then it comes up with the error message "Elements Organizer could not finish creating your e-mail message.  Alternately, you can use Adobe E-mail Service via the Elements organizer preference dialog."  WLM has been selected as the mail server in the preferences section of Elements, and also in Windows 7.
    I don't want to send mail through Adobe E-mail Service, but I did try that.  I get to the same spot, and the entire program crashes.
    Furstrated!

    Adobe have had problems with the Windows 7 email client ever since they issued a patch for PSE8.
    Furthermore it will not work with 64 bit editions of Outlook, to the disappointment of many but you would think they would have sorted out Live Mail before launching PSE9. The product help screens are entirely misleading.
    Both PSE8 and PSE9 are said to be Windows 7 compatible, but in reality they aren’t. Even after downloading the patch Adobe customers are still reporting problems.
    If you are using a purchased copy of PSE9, rather than the trial I would suggest you raise a ticket with the support team and claim your entitlement to help with a solution.

  • CS2 non authentication missing Acrobat Pro and Go Live

    After buying a new iMac and installing the CS4 that I purchased in December 2009 and have been running on my MacBook Pro since spring of 2010, I did an erase and install on my older G5 iMac, Tiger, 10.4.11. I installed my old CS2 and then painfully learned about the non-existent authentication server. I followed the web instructions for uninstalling CS2, and then downloaded your version of CS2 that doesn't require authentication. It is missing Acrobat Professional and Go Live, presumably in the missing 6th or 7th download. Although I do not use Go Live, I do indeed use Acrobat and I feel cheated. I am not expecting Adobe to "Update" or "Support" old applications forever, but I don't consider my ability (or inability) to install MY licensed discs onto MY old iMac as "support". If you'd like to make me happy, here are three possibilities: Best--find a way of allowing me to authenticate MY software, after I once again spend several more hours re-installing (GRRRR). Second Best---allow me to install my more recent CS4 onto my eight year old iMac, even though that would constitute a third usage, as it's already installed on my new Lion machine and my three year old laptop. Will CS4 even work with my old G5? Least desirable---give me a copy of a stand alone Acrobat Professional that will work on my old G5, given that Photoshop and Illustrator are already installed on it as part of your "no authentication needed" download. I have the discs, cases, serial numbers, and receipts for both my CS2 and my CS4. I have placed two phone numbers in my user profile. Thanks, Harvey

  • Time Capsule and Xbox live

    Hello all!
    I coming here because I'm having a real problem getting Time Capsule full set up with my network any help would be much appreciated! Here is my problem.
    I got a 1T Time Capsule yesterday and got it all set up as the main base station for my network, everything is set up fine in terms of my 2 Mac's being backed up with Time Machine and being able to surf the net wirelessly and I have a base station upstairs just to boost the single to the iMac. The problem I am having is I can't connect to xbox live, when I do the xbox test it keeps giving me the error "can't obtain IP address from router or modem". I have tired a few things already with no luck I went in to the DHCP setting and added my xbox MAC address directly to the Time Capsule. Also going into the NAT settings and checking off "Enable default host at" and then entering 35 at the end to match up with what I put on the other screen. I tried the whole unplug for 10 min and re-power everything nothing worked.
    My setup is pretty simple I think, I got the Time Capsule under my TV stand right net to my 360 so I can plug my 360 right into the time capsule. My Time Capsule is about 20-25 feet from my modem and I got my Mac Mini and a iMac hooked up to the network, I also have a Airport express upstairs just to bot the single to the iMac. Both Mac's have up to date snow leopard software 10.6.2 I'm using DSL not cable.
    If anyone can give me any help I would really appreciate it!

    Howdy,
    I can't help on the TC setup, but can only suggest a few things for you to try XBox (360?) to router. You probably have tried these already:
    1. Check the ethernet cable and ethernet port on the router works.
    2. Instead of using the Automatic option on the XBox to get IP settings, enter in the IP, DNS and gateway settings manually;
    3. I have sometimes come across ethernet not switching to the right speed. The Gigabit port on the TC has to auto-sense the 10/100Mb XBox and auto-switch. Can't find anywhere to force the Xbox to connect at 100Mb, rather than auto-detect.
    Are there any router logs to tell what's happening?
    Another way would be the enable internet sharing on your mac, plug the ethernet cable from the xbox to the mac. I've done this with a pc and it works. However, I haven't tried it with the apple kids.
    Obviously one of the draw backs is the the mac has to be up and running. Disable any energy mode on the mac to stop the wlan port from sleeping.
    Good Luck.

  • Replaced mobo and HDD, now system says no hdd installed-HP dv5000

    I had a perfectly functioning laptop one week ago, and then I decided to "upgrade" the HDD to SSD.
    I attempted to clone the HDD over to the SSD.  The cloning process seemed to work fine.  When I installed the SSD, I got an error message "System Disk Error".  I re-installed the original HDD, and got same error message. 
    Thinking that I may have had a coincidental catastophic failure unrelated to my cloning attempt, I obtained a new mobo and HDD, installed both, and tried to install Windows fresh.  I now get an error message similar to "No HDD installed in system".
    With a new mobo, new HDD, I did not anticipate this type of problem.
    I do not have any restore or rescue disks.  I thought that if I put in a new HDD and mobo, windows should install without problem.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I assume that you have used the same sata cable on both motherboards. My guess is that the cable or its connectors could be damaged by replacing the hdd for the ssd. I don't think that you would have almost the same problem on a new mtb with a new hard drive.
