X-Fi detected as Extreme Gamer -WHY ? + how to tell which firmware card has (vide nF4 proble

Hello.
The pictures say it all - new rev. of card, detected as Extreme Gamer. What is going on ?

BTW : the explanation by Creative of the new revisions is most disturbing : the say that they refined the production process, and as result new chips generate more heat ... AND ... they are looking forward into REFINING IT MORE so that they can, here's the best part, reduce the heat emission to level that previous cards had.
I mean ,what the ... ? What kind of rifining is that ?
OK, all in al, I would like someone (hopefully from CREATIVE) to explain it to me - first of all the wierd Extreme Gamer thing, and "the new revisions" thing.
In addition I have another question - I am willing to buy X-Fi. Right now I own a nForce2 based mobo, and in near future (I can not tell how near, or how far) I am going to upgrade the whole PC. It could happen that I end up with nF4 board. The question is : is there any way to verify which firmare version the card has (because I am aware that in case of problems with nF4's, X-Fi cards were replaced with units with new firmware). How do I tell the difference between them ?

My X-Fi is a Dell OEM one.
I assume is a new revision because the disposition of the capacitors is different to the pictures I've seen of the early X-Fi retail ones, and it has a radiator on the chip.
It's being running flawlessly on my rig for about six weeks now.
This is a brief summary of the hardware installed on it:
DFI NF2 UltraInfinity with custom BIOS (homemade tweaks here and there, including new SATA Bios and some fiddling with memory timings/latency, nothing very serious).
Athlon XP3200+ 400 Mhz (Barton core... big troublemaker)
Thermaltake SilentTower Cooler
Gb DDR-SDRAM PC3200 (2x52) Infineon slightly overvolted/overclocked (2.80v / 2.5-3-3-7)
Antec TrueBlue 350w PSU (Slowly decaying... the 2v rail is going all over the place, shouting for a new one...)
Asus V9999 GeForce 6800 GT now running on stock clocking (or my PSU will just quit).
ViewSonic VX2025w
Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 60Gb 8Mb Cache SATA50 OEM HDD on SATA 0
SpinPoint P Series SP082C 80 Gb on SATA
Lite-On DVDRW SHM-65P6S on IDE 0
NEC DVDRW ND-3500AG on IDE
SB X-Fi ExtremeMusic (Dell OEM) in PCI #4 (IRQ 7, not shared)
TP-Link TL-WN650G Wireless Adapter in PCI #5 (IRQ 8, not shared)
Onboard SoundStorm enabled (I use it for ventrilo with a headset)
I run WindowsXP SP2 with all the latest patches/updates (Goddess bless AutoPatcher ^^).
APIC enabled on BIOS and running "ACPI Uniprocessor PC" HAL.
I also have far too much junk installed.For the MB I use the 5.0 drivers (all but the IDE driver)
For the SoundStorm the 4.62 release.
For the X-Fi I use the YouP-Pax 3.33 drivers. (drivers only, no bloatware TYVM)
For the 6800GT I use the XTreme-G 9.45 drivers.
For the WLAN card I use heavily hacked Atheros drivers (4..2.37 based).
Now, I'm not friend of FPS's, so the only game I've played that qualifies as such is Prey, dri'ven by curiosity more than anything else. The X-Fi behaved during gameplay. No popping/crackling/crashing/jumping/skipping or hopping.
I've extensi'vely played Oblivion (absolutely brilliant, worth every penny, pity my rig can barely cope with it), Dungeon Siege II: Broken World, Final Fantasy XI (can't get over this one... everytime I decide to quit I find myself playing again) and Syberia II (I love this kind of games... pity no one does them anymore...). Again no problems.
I also played a few movies (DVD, DivX, XviD...) with no issues whatsoever.
And my music (both compressed and uncompressed) sounds brilliant.
Not too bad for a $9 investment ^^Message Edited by MrToad on 08-28-2006 2:05 AM

How to tell which JButton is clicked?

I have a layout with 3 panels. Each panel has an 'Add' button inside it. However, I can't work out how to tell which 'Add' button has been clicked by the user. Normally I would put code to select from the text on the button, but this time they are all the same. Any ideas how I can do it?
Thanks

DrLaszloJamf: Do you have a simple example that you
could post? I thought all
ActionListeners/MouseListeners in the same class had
to be dealt with in the same place.I'll give you an example in a mo', but here's another solution if you really
want one ActionListener to listen to multiple sources: explicitly set the
button's actionCommand strings. This string defaults to the button's text,
but can be explicitly set to anything you want. This is useful, for obvious
reasons, if you are writing a multilingual app (I'm Canadian, so that's
part of the furniture).
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Example implements ActionListener {
    private static final String MUG_COMMAND = "mug";
    private static final String WUMP_COMMAND = "wump";
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
        String actionCommand = event.getActionCommand();
        if (MUG_COMMAND.equals(actionCommand))
            System.out.println("doing mug action");
        else if (WUMP_COMMAND.equals(actionCommand))
            System.out.println("doing wump action");
        else
            System.out.println("neither mug nor wump: " + actionCommand);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ActionListener app = new Example();
        JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
        JButton button1 = new JButton("add");
        button1.setActionCommand(MUG_COMMAND);
        button1.addActionListener(app);
        contentPane.add(button1);
        JButton button2 = new JButton("add");
        button2.setActionCommand(WUMP_COMMAND);
        button2.addActionListener(app);
        contentPane.add(button2);
        JButton button3 = new JButton("add");
        button3.addActionListener(app);
        contentPane.add(button3);
        JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
        final JFrame f = new JFrame("Mugwump");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.setContentPane(contentPane);
        f.pack();
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                f.setVisible(true);

How to tell: Which version of camera raw do I have?

How to tell which version of camera raw I have? The only Google search I found answering this question refers to is 2 years old and seems to no longer apply. There is no File, Edit etc. menu on the new version of Camera Raw with (Photoshop/Bridge CS6). I do use Adobe Application Manager to do my updates telling me if a new version exists or not, nevertheless I would like to know.

The F key works as described for me in CS6-ACR7.4 with ACR as the window with focus. The same function is available using the double-arrow-window icon at the right of the Preview checkbox near the top right of the preview area.
When in full-screen mode there is no title bar, but when I press the F key or click the double-arrow, again, ACR becomes smaller and I can see the title bar that includes the ACR version and camera model. This is on Windows7-64-bit on a 1600x1050 monitor. Perhaps you’re ACR’s title bar is off the top of the screen so you can’t see it, or maybe ACR optimizes some things if you have a smallish display—do you?
A plug-in is a program that interfaces with another program but is not independently runnable application, itself, bit is independently updatable, so in this instance, Photoshop doesn’t need to be downloaded and installed every time Adobe adds support for a few more cameras.

How to tell which photos in iPhoto are HDR images.

Does anyone know how to tell which photos in iPhoto are HDR images. When I click on the Info button for the image it doesn't indicate if it was an HDR.
Does anyone have any information about this?

You can do a filter on your library with "File Status" is "Missing". The "File Status" query is not available by default, but you can add it by clicking the upper-right button in the filter window.

How to tell if your mac has water damage?

I was using a dust remover when I noticed that some ice like substance started to come out. I was spraying the USB and Charging port in a high angle so I don't think anything went in the mac, also I saw most of it went on my sleeve. Just as a precaution, how will I know if it has water damage?

spraying the USB port with what ?
define "DUST REMOVER"
surely you DONT mean that spray stuff used on furniture, ...... do you?
One assumes you mean a can of compressed air.
You likely just flushed out some dust bunnies, I assume you mean a snow of dust.

How to determine which FileChooser ExtensionFilter has been selected

Hi,
I'm using a JavaFX fileChooser.showSaveDialog with two extension filters (*.csv and *.xml). How can I determine which filter was selected when the end-user clicks the save button?
I am writing a program that allows the end-user to create an output file in CSV or XML format.
If the end-user enters a file name with no extension, I need a way to determine if I should create a CSV or XML file. I would also like to add the proper extension to the file name if none is specified by the end-user. I want to do this based on which filter the end-user has selected. I wrote a Java program 5 years ago and I was able to do this with the following instruction:
String extension = jFileChooser.getFileFilter().getDescription();
I can't find a similar instruction for JavFX.
My JavaFX Code:
FileChooser fileChooser = new FileChooser();
fileChooser.setInitialDirectory(new File(options.getOutputDirectory()));
ExtensionFilter filter1 = new FileChooser.ExtensionFilter("Comma Delimited (*.csv)", "*.csv");
fileChooser.getExtensionFilters().add(filter1);
ExtensionFilter filter2 = new FileChooser.ExtensionFilter("XML Document (*.xml)", "*.xml");
fileChooser.getExtensionFilters().add(filter2);
File file = fileChooser.showSaveDialog(stage);
String filename = file.getAbsolutePath();...How do I determine which extension filter has been selected?
My Java Code:
JFileChooser jFileChooser = new JFileChooser();
jFileChooser.setCurrentDirectory(new File(outputDirectory));
jFileChooser.setSelectedFile(new File(backupfile));
FileFilter filter = new FileNameExtensionFilter("Comma Delimited (*.csv)", "csv");
jFileChooser.addChoosableFileFilter(filter);
jFileChooser.setFileFilter(filter);
filter = new FileNameExtensionFilter("XML Document (*.xml)", "xml");
jFileChooser.addChoosableFileFilter(filter);
jFileChooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);
jFileChooser.setDialogTitle("Export Alarms");
jFileChooser.setBackground(colorFileChooser);
int returnVal = jFileChooser.showDialog(jFrame, "Export");
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
    File file = jFileChooser.getSelectedFile();
    String filename = file.getAbsolutePath();
    String extension = jFileChooser.getFileFilter().getDescription();
    if (extension.equals("XML Document (*.xml)")) {
        if (!filename.endsWith(".xml") && !filename.endsWith(".XML")) {
            filename = filename + ".xml";
        saveTableXML(filename);
    else if (extension.equals("Comma Delimited (*.csv)")) {
        if (!filename.endsWith(".csv") && !filename.endsWith(".CSV")) {
            filename = filename + ".csv";
        saveTableCSV(filename);
}Thanks,
Barry

How to tell which maps are the latest?

I have Maps v3.01 loaded on my 6710 Navigator (came with free worldwide licence) and Map Loader v3.0.28 on my PC.
How do I tell which maps are loaded on my Nokia and what version/date the maps availalble on Map Loader are?
Map Loader does not state which maps are already on my phone, nor does it state the date or version of the maps which can be uploaded.
Obviously, I'd like to install newer versions of my country map if and when it is available, but how do I know which version is available and which I already have?
Ovi.com does not seem to be the answer either as all maps were downloaded using Map Loader.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you already have a free worldwide license and V 3.01 is working well for you then you are right to leave it for the moment. I hear of problems searching for addresses etc with V3.03. Can always update later when everything is sorted.
I believe if you delete all your maps and then use Ovi Suite to download new maps, Ovi Suite will at least tell you what maps you have on your phone. I haven;t tried it myself because I can't stand Ovi Suite.
Speed warning is available for Ireland but just like you I have to import the speed camera locations as landmarks. Hopefully, we will see these as new features in future updates.

How to tell which Indexes are not being used?

We are a large development shop and have many customers. Our database design is very generic so that it works for all of our customers. Each night we use an SSIS ETL process to bring down large amounts of data from the iSeries into SQL. One
particularily large customer takes a very long time and we are looking for ways to speed up thier data import and transformation. I would like to see which indexes he does not use and possibly remove them. Each night we fully repopulate hundreds of staging
and ods tables and incrementally delete and repopulate the days work for a handful of history type tables. Removing some indexes off of the large tables could make a big impact.
How can i tell which indexes the customer does not use?

"dtutil", how to tell which configuration file for packages using after deployment?

Hello All,
Trying to achieve this feature,
Using DOS command to automatic my deployment process--glad I found dtutil. However, it doesnt give you any chance to identify which configuration file to be used by SSIS packages after deployment.
Deployment Method: file deployment
Configuration sued: XML file and SQL Table. IN XML file, it tells which DB connection for packages to look up the configuration table.
Who can share some thoughts on this?
Derek

It is NOT about sequence.
It is about how to point which configuration file to be used by deployed packages as during the "dtutil.exe"
deployment, you dont have chance to identify which physical location confg files to be used.
Derek
That you do only at the time of execution of packages. By default it uses configuration settings created at design time within the package. If you want to override it, you can use \Configfile switch of dtexec for that. You can also set explicit values for
properties using /SET switch

[ADF UIX] lovUpdate - how to tell which LOV fired

I have a UIX page that allows the user to open 2 separate LOVs. On return to the main page, the lovUpdate event is called. Dependent on which LOV was called I need to do 2 separate pieces of work. However I can't work out how to determine which LOV caused the lovUpdate to fire.
Does anybody know of a mechanism for determining this?
Cheers!
CM.

Oops, case of RTFM. Each event has a source attribute mapping to the UIX component ID that caused the event.
Simple really.

How to tell which version boot camp?

It's such a simple question - *How can I tell which version of Boot Camp my machine is running right now?* - but the answer is oh so elusive...
Get Info on the partition doesn't tell me, About This Mac More Info neither (unless I don't know where to look and somebody can set me straight.) Running through searches at Apple and similar, including forums using (eventually) only the word "version" hasn't helped to figure out how either, nor has Google with a bit more than "version" obviously, else I'd be at it still. And the version on the Boot Camp Assistant.app in Utilities doesn't seem to jibe with anything, much.
Answer?

Thank you. That helps.
Do you know if that's truly the version of Boot Camp itself, or merely the version of the Boot Camp Control panel? Apple doesn't seem to address this anywhere that I can find, but over time I've noticed the different pieces, like the Boot Camp Drivers "bundle" and, in this instance, features like the Boot Camp Control Panel do indeed have different versions. As an example (and for my confusion) on my system the Bootcamp.exe file is version 3.0.0.1 and the product version is 3.0, but "About Boot Camp" from the icon says 3.1 and the Drivers Update 2.1... In the Properties for BootCamp.msi under Comments it says 3.0.0 (and also present is a revision number which doesn't fit its {}.) All this in Windows, of course. In OS X (10.6.4 Snow Leopard) the Boot Camp Assistant.app is version 3.0.1. So, to summarize, I seem to have versions 3.0 and 3.1 concurrently - I'm less worried about the Windows drivers. Those can be updated independently, and I don't use iSight in Windows anyway.

How to tell which version of 1130AP

The Aironet 1130AG Series is available in:
A lightweight version
An autonomous version that can be field-upgraded to lightweight operation
A single-band 802.11g version for use in regulatory domains that do not
allow 802.11a/5 GHz operation
Is this firmware/software only, or is the hardware different.
How do I tell which one I have?
Thanks.

A lightweight version
An autonomous version that can be field-upgraded to lightweight operation
Software.
Do a "dir flash:"
If the IOS is "K9W7" then it's autonomous. If it's "K9W8" or "rcv" then it's LWAP.
