X-Fi drivers crash or not load

I'm about to give up.. I really appreciate help here..
I added my new X-Fi extreme music card to my dell 4550 (XP SP2, gb ram)and followed the directions.. The after a day of the drivers crashed and no more sound. I have reinstalled the drivers and now the drivers will not even load. A look at the hardware manager shows a yellow warning next to the sound card.
reinstalling the drivers doesn't make any difference, I used web update II, and even the beta web update III. Nothing works.
Something interesting.. when I reinstall the drivers and follow the directions to restart the PC, I can hear the windows sign-out music.. But when windows comes back up, the card is not working.. Control panel sounds doesn't even offer the card as a device
If I un-install the drivers and reboot, windows will not recognize the card as a sound blaster, and will not even find the drivers for it.. I need to start with the CD again..
What gives? it is now 3 weeks since I installed the card and no sound yet..
Anyone with some advice? words of wisdom?
Thanks

Nothing? no one?

I am having problems with this machine, power supply, fan cooling or ?? and need to monitor CPU activity as I increase activity
on the CPU's. Activity Monitor v 1.5 (54), Tiger v10.4.11, works as expected. Just the problem with Leopard 10.5.8.

Sounds like maybe the graphic card and/or heat.
Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...

And/or iStat Pro...

If you have any temps in the 70°C/160°F range, that's likely it.
10.5 uses the Graphic card alot more.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Iphone 5 help email crashing, pictures not loading, safari crashing, imessages not sending or receiving

Wondering if anyone has ever had the following problems and how to resolve them. e-mail app wont open, just crashes instantly, imessages and texts wont send or receive, pictures wont delete and are showing up all fuzzy, when i take a picture it shows up as a grey rectangle and not the actual captured image, never available memory despite having few pictures and only 2 apps and no music, Safari works for a few seconds then goes off by itself. Used to work if i switched my phone off and on but now nothings working, very frustrating, any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Basics right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

Safari crashes, can not load it. Fire fox works fine.

I just put 10.5 on my mac book pro, every time I try to use safari it bounces a few times and crashes.
Any ideas?

I just off the phone with apple support. I am now doing an 'Archive & Install" but we tried a couple other things that did not work for me, but might for you.
First we tried to reinstall Safari from the Leopard disk:
-select "Optional Install" and then the optional installs.mpkg
-in Applications check the box for Safari
complete and reboot.
This did not work for me.
Next we went to Finder - yourname - library - preferences - look for (I am not sure of how this is written - but this should get you to the folder) 'com.apple/safari.plist'
Drag and Drop that folder to the desktop. Try Safari - reboot - try again.
No luck for me
Back to the Leopard disk: start as first installed. When you get to the _*'Select Destination'*_ window; select 'Options' and check the box _*'Archive & Install'*_ continue through to 'Install'.
The tech did say that other users have been successful after this...we will see.
I hope this post will help, I am new to mac and am unfamiliar with a lot but did try note the process. I apologize if my wording is confusing.
Good luck...I will post after my installation is complete.

K210 drivers for XP not loading completely

Hi there every body,
I just bought a K210 and I'm very happy with it. I've downgraded to Xp, but ran into some issues
when downloading from the support pages of Lenovo's website. The Realtek HD audio ALC888/662 XP driver and the Intel LAN Nineveh driver start downloading and then resume when they are not even half complete, resulting in a partial file. The issue is the same whether Idownloading with IE or Firefox.
Could someone notice the people at Lenovo about this problem, or could a user who still has those two drivers complete somehow upload them somewhere ? I'd be very grateful.
Thanx.
Phil from France

PC crashed and not load icould on new hardrive

My PC crashed and new hard drive and motherboard was installed. I am unable to get icloud back on my outlook calendar. What can I do?

Well, even though you have authorized the iTunes, if you didn't have a backup of your iTunes library, it is going to be difficult at best. While you can transfer purchases made on the iPhone to the iTunes library, if you are using the same login on iTunes that you had when you purchased the music, it does not include music you may have added to iTunes on your own.
The iPhone is designed to only sync to a single iTunes library. If you attempt to sync to another, it will erase all of the existing music and replace it with the music in the new library. If there is none, then it will just erase music and do nothing.
Did you ever do a backup of the iTunes music library? If not, you will need to Google for a 3rd party application that can help take the music off the iPhone, since iTunes is designed to only sync the music one way, from iTunes to the iPhone.
Once you have replaced the library, making sure you have auto syncing disabled (done in iTunes, edit, preferences, devices, put a check by prevent automatic syncing) connect the iPhone. Once you have done that, go to the music tab, put a checkmark by sync music, OR on the Summary page, check manually manage music and you can drag music one song at a time to the phone.
Hope this helps answer your questions.

My ipod touch kept crashing and not loading apps, syncing did not solve prblem so i did the 'restore' option. now it has been stuck 'verifying restore' for more than 8 hrs!! help

i pod touch is stuck 'verifying restore' for the last 8 hrs... help??

Try putting the iPod into DFU mode and restoring again:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
If that still doesn't work, then the jailbreak may have cause a corruption which is now fatal; that's not uncommon with jailbroken devices. If that is indeed the case, your iPod may be irrecoverable and you'll be shopping for a new one.
Good luck.

MBP Retina Windows 7 x64 drivers will not load

I knew nothing about Mac or OSX and got my MBP running in July.
Then later I realised I shoudl take advantage of the Solidworks capacity to run 64bit so I removed partition, got the ISO, made the Flash USB, installed Windows 7 x64 and it is now installed.
But none of the drivers copied in. I used the latest updated Bootcamp 4.0.4 and really the first time I did this everything worked when I installed Win 7 x86 and the pc just started in Windows perfectly all drivers working (except the tap function on trackpad did not work).
I did everything according bootcamp instructions but no luck this time the drivers did not go in (i think)
Now my new windows 7 x64 is exactly as per my installaion disk W7 Sp1.0 x64 all there but absolute disaster the screen is not recognised I cannot even start to get the wireless working so no network no internet no help.
I tried to run the setup.exe from the USB ( where Bootcamp made directorories and copied nicely all the files etc etc) as per the printed copy of the bootcamp installation guide (printed copy on hand) but no success
What now please help?

(bump) I have a similar issue. Win7 installed fine but I have a few hardware drivers which did not load, particarly the wifi driver.
Anyone know how to handle this?
Thanks-

Lenovo g550 windows xp drivers will not load

Help! I purchased a Lenovo G550 yesterday and am in need of assistance. Unfortuantely it doesn't appear that there is any way to contact Lenovo, the website doesn't show any method of even emailing them without an IBM service tag (which unless you are corporate user you can't get).
I purchased a lenovo g550 yesterday configuration is 3gb ram 160Gb HDD. Upon booting the system I discovered that in fact users only get access to about 100Gb of the harddrive the rest is set up under multiple hidden drives. I the system came with windows 7 home edition. I need windows xp. So through several hours of work I was able to create some unallocated space on the harddrive. I loaded my copy of windows xp professional to this space and since windows automatically selects the drive name it is drive D:
I went to the lenovo website prior to loading xp and manually downloaded every driver from the site (very time consuming, I saw another way via a forum but was not able to locate it on the lenovo website). Immendiately after loading xp and rebooting I loaded the intel chipset driver. Then rebooted. No other drivers will load for any of the other pieces of hardware. All of THEM, everyone crashes with an error message that there is not enough disk space on c: to load. I would guess that there isn't since c: is a 200mb hidden drive created by Lenovo.
Does anyone have a work around for this problem with the lenovo drivers? This has turned into a multi-hour project for something very simple - putting an alternative operating system on the computer. I cannot put xp as the c: drive because of the lenovo hidden partition is named c:. I don't want to delete windows 7, as I expect to move to it in the next year but right now I several thousand dollars worth of software in xp and need to use that software.
I sure would appreciate any assistance :-) Again the issue is the lenovo windows xp drivers, everyone of them excluding the intel chipset driver will not load under windows xp when windows xp is loaded onto the d: partition. they all say they want to load onto the c: parition which is not an option.
thanks in advance for any help and if anyone knows how to get in contact with lenovo would love that also.

Well if you do not want win7 all together, then just delete all the partitions and install your XP. But if your not wanting to mess up this drive to be able to use the win7 later then just buy a cheap HDD to put XP on. --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148452 $10 off and free shipping. but being that you already tried installing XP then you already messed up win7 anyways(if you did not make the restore disks), your better off just deleting and redoing XP.

HT4623 I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 7.0.2 and iBooks will not load anything from the Store and Safari keeps crashing

I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 7.0.2 and iBooks will not load anything from the Store- I cannot search or even view my purchases.
Also Safari keeps crashing. I have shut down the phone and restarted it twice and that hasn't helped. Any ideas?

Desktop Manager Will not Load. Hangs on splash screen when loading, then crashes

My desktop manager is not loading, and hangs whenever it is attempted to load. I have done a clean uninstall, removed rim registry entries, and did a fresh download and install 3 times with full shut downs between each attempt. I am running Windows 7 service pack 1 with an HP Laptop. It is an HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC. Product Number LY080UA. I hope that is enough information, but I will give more if asked and informed how to gather such info.
When I right click on the Desktop Manager Icon, I choose to run as Admin. Once it loads the splash screen shows. After a little bit (4-6 seconds) a small Icon appears in my systems tab at the bottom right of my screen. This stays for a little while and then goes away. After this happens the Splash screen hangs, and get a black border around it. If I click on the Splash screen it grey out and says not responding, prompting windows to ask me if I want to wait for the program or close. If I choose to wait, it will sit there and do nothing. If I close it will prompt windows to "look for an error" but has not yet been able to return an answer.
When I log into safe mode, Desktop Manager loads, but does not work well as only a bare bones set of drivers are enabled. If I turn off all but the non-essential services off using services.msc it will load, but again the services needed for it to run and the services for windows to be fully functional are not on at all.
I have attempted to turn off all but the Desktop manager in the start up, using msconfig, but that does not help either.
I am at my wits end here, and would really like some help with this. It loads up (desktop manager) on my Desktop, but I am unable to log that mammoth box around with me while I travel.
Thank you for your time and efforts, I will be very grateful for any and all help.

I'm having the exact same problem here! I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64. Please help! This was posted a month ago.

IOS8 on iPhone 5: Apps not Loading; Frequent Crashing

Hey All,
I've never posted on the support forum before, because I rarely have issues with my apple products. I recently downloaded the iOS8 upgrade onto my iPhone 5 and have been having severe issues with the functionality of my phone:
1) Apps will not load - some of my apps, such as mail, facebook, snapchat, twitter, mapmyrun, and so forth, will "open," but none of the content loads. Occasionally, the apps will appear to load further, the more I try, but then crash once they get to a certain point. I reuploaded my back up data, hoping that the transition to the upgrade might have damaged my files. That has not worked.
2) Crashing Apps: They will occur without notice or in the middle of discussion. My facetime has vanished mid-conversation. My texts won't go through.
3) Wi-Fi disappears - there have been times when I'll get the "your app will work more accurately if you enable internet," which is bizarre because I am always connected over 3G and/or wi-fi. I often have to manually go back into my wi-fi settings and log back in, which never used to happen in iOS7 for saved networks.
Generally, the iOS8 is just slow. Even swiping pages is stalled. Scrolling on Safari freezes quite often (and not on pages where there is flash media or a lot of graphics, but basic text, like Wikipedia).
I'm just really frustrated that my phone (which I upgraded to this year), seems to be incompatible with the latest iOS update.
Is there a patch or new version slated to address any of these issues?
Let me know at your soonest convenience.

Well, after updating to iOS 8 every app needs to re-ask for your permission in every since. You should have to go back into every app and click enable or disable for location services / notifications / requesting of photos. Is it a persisting issue (i.e. every time you open one app, it repeatedly asks you to enable that service)?

I settup Bootcamp drive on my Macbook pro retina. Loaded Windows 7. The necessary drivers to communicate with Win7 did not load. How do I get drivers for flash drive, etc. when the keyboard et. all do not work on Windows side?

Can't get Windows 7 to recognize my keyboard, usb drives, nor the mouse pad on my MacBook Pro. Have settup Bootcamp division and loaded Win 7. Apparantly the needed drivers did not load. How do I deal with this issue?
Thanks.

Got it working!
First off, I found out if you use a 32GB Flash Drive or larger, you need to format it with EXFAT format, not MS-DOS FAT. I was also trying to use USB 3.0 Flash Drives which may have something to do with my problems. I was successful in my installation attempt when I used an 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive formated in DOS/FAT.
Also ensure when you install Windows, that Windows 7 Premium (NOT Basic) is selected for installation (also had the option to install Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate but do not have the license for them). I did not see that window with all the options on any of my three previous installation attempts. I noticed that Windows 7 Basic is the default which may have been part of the problem.
Happy and safe New Years to all,
DJ
