X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatality: 5.1 Config Resets to

Hello.
I recently upgraded my Audigy card with an X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatality version.
Everything regarding sound quality and performance is A-Ok.
My problem is that I'm experiencing an annoying bug, which I haven't been able to squash.
Every time I restart Windows (XP /SP2), my 5. speaker config resets itself back to 2. settings.
My speaker settings on Windows Sound properties remain in 5. config, but Sound blaster's Audio Console reflects a 2. config, as do games, music or any other audio App.
I have to manually enable 5. settings in the Audio console with every restart.
I tried synchronizing with control panel (on and off) with the same result.
Is there a way to lock down a 5. config within the registry (or some .ini file, or any kind of config file) so that it won't keep reseting itself?
All my other settings like CMSS-3D surround, and X-Fi Crystalizer also reset themselves to default settings after a system restart.
Please Advise!

I just recently upgraded from the Xtreme Gamer to the Fatalty on my Dell XPS720 due to screeching problems. Everything is working fine except I think I am having the same problem you are having. I will set the console settings to where I want them with the equalizer, speakers, Crystalizer etc but after I turn off the computer it seems like everything resets to default and then I have to reset everything again. Not sure what I can do to correct this problem. It didnt do this with the old sound card and different drivers.

  • When opening new tab, how to make me able to type in the adress bar directly without clicking on it? -- (about:config reset and add-on doesn't work)

    Hi all,
    Need a help relating New Tab on Mozilla.
    I want to be able to directly type in the address bar everytime I open a new tab in Mozilla, without clicking anything. To be clearer, it means that everytime I open the new tab, the blinking cursor is already on the address bar.
    What's happening right now is everytime I open new tab, the cursor is not placed anywhere--not on the search bar on the page, not on the address bar. I should put the cursor somewhere to do something.
    I tried using the about:config reset (1) and installing custom new tab (2), but both do not work.
    When I tried the about:config reset the Reset button is not highlighted (I assume it means it's default already), and the Custom New Tab doesn't yield in different result.
    What confuse me is 2 days ago my Mozilla works just fine. Everytime I opened a new tab, the blinking cursor was on the address bar and I was able to type directly.
    Thank you and appreciate the help!!
    Note:
    (1) about:config reset:
    - Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
    - To bypass the warning, press the big button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!".
    - In the search box, paste browser.newtab.url
    - In the search results, right-click browser.newtab.url and choose Reset.
    (2) Custom Add On reset:
    - Install Custom New Tab. = https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/
    - Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
    - Next to Custom New Tab, click the Options button.
    - Set whatever page you want to open in each new tab (about:newtab is the default; about:home is the default home page), and make sure "Place focus in URL bar" is not checked.

    <blockquote>
    ok, as a follow up i'd recommend disabling half of the addons & restarting the browser - if the problem continues disable the other half & continue until you've narrowed it down to the culprit...
    </blockquote>
    Hi Philipp,
    I read the link you copied on the first post and also tried your recommendation above. None seem to work. Even if I disable all add-ons, the problem still persists.
    One other info, this problem seem to appear after I installed several program yesterday. These programs apparently installed other programs that set my homepage and main search engine to a particular website. But I installed all of these programs already. Would that be a cause of the problem?
    Thanks.

  • When I open up a new tab, I get an "AVG" search result. I already did the about:config reset but it still doesn't work. How can I get a blank tab opened?

    When I open a new tab, this always comes up:
    http://isearch.avg.com/tab?cid={7d7746b8-fb39-4619-86fd-792cbc268005}&mid=72dc207d310ff3c58bd4dbeaeddede3a-fe6a71ecae4eb764a90a5203c991f01a6245f52e&ds=AVG&v=13.2.0.5&lang=es-es&pr=fr&d=2012-06-02%2009%3A32%3A49&sap=nt
    I already did the about:config reset and it doesn't make the new tab blank or go to a specific URL address that I type in. What can I do to get a blank new tab? Thanks.

    I would just like to add to this thread. I have tried everything and every way listed here and found my own solution, for those of you who were having the same issue as me.
    1. Type "'''about:config'''" in your search bar
    2. Click "'''I'll be careful, i promise'''"
    3. Type "'''newtab'''" in the search bar
    4. Find "'''avg.userPreferences.newtabDisabledByUser'''"
    5. Set value to '''true''' by either '''doube clicking''' or '''right click > toggle'''
    This immediately deactivated the AVG new tab feature and reset my browser to it's default settings.
    Hope this helps!

  • Problem: THX Config resetting after each pc rest

    Setup: I'm using the console from the original install disc, but the driver is the latest web-download driver, version 02.09.006 from 9th of oct. 2006. I'm using the original consoles because they are much more intuiti've and I can even set more things than whats in the clear web-driver installation. Windows XP Pro my OS by the way with 5. speaker system. Problem: The thx console settings with speaker location and facing is ALWAYS change between pc restarts. On top of that I always see very silly data there, like front left speaker distance 0.meter, the other is .4meter, angle is also totally different, so its just really messy numbers are there. Sometimes I swap over from 5. speakers to headphones when its not appropriate to listen the sound loudly but that shouldnt make the settings totally messed up every time either. So I dont feel that I'm doing something wrong, but the settings are not saved and not "standard" either, just messed up settings most of the time when I start up the thx control center to setup/double check?the speaker locations. What could couse the problem please?

    I've got the exact same problem as H0PE. My setup is an X-Fi XtremeGamer-card using the default 6 ch outputs, combined with 5. speakers (obviously). I'm using the latest drivers downloaded from Creative.com. Still the bass/treble controls keep resetting, along with the various speaker settings that H0PE mentioned. I hope there's some kind of solution to this, as it's very annoying.

  • WiSM password recovery / config reset

    I am configuring a WiSM blade. Consoling in I completed Side A with the initial config. It saved and reloaded. I was able to re-signed on with default name/pw and things looked good.
    I plugged into B side (console) and used same default name/pw. Completed initial config. It saved, reloaded and then I could not sign in. The defaults no longer worked.
    So I can not get on the B side to reset. How do I set the B side to factory defaults? If I reset the A side, does it reset both sides?
    I then

    I've had this happen to me on more than one occasion when I fat-fingered the password in the setup script.
    One way to do this is to attach a console cable to side B and reset the module from the switch (hw-module module [module number] reset). This will reboot both sides, but Side A should be fine. When Side B comes up, type in "Recover-Config" for the user name. This will reset the module and you can re-enter the setup script. Be sure that "Recover-Config" is the first thing you enter because if you put anything else in, you have to reset the module again.

  • Palm IIIxe - Fatal Alert after HotSync; [Reset] soft button doesn't; Paper Clip just returns Fatal Alert

    I'd done a HotSync and left Palm in cradle; went to work without it so called wife to have her check something for me.   She reported a MEMORY EXCEPTION error, which I've seen before, so I told her hit the soft [Reset] button offered. 
    She did, and it came back after the "Palm Powered" splash screen with a Fatal Alert and another soft [Reset] button.   No amount of clicking this button will reset it.
    Using the paper clip reset, I loop thru the splash screen and another Fatal Alert.   Beyond that, nothing.
    Here at the office, desperately needed to see some data which was on the Palm, so brought up the Palm Desktop (v4.1.0).   And was confronted with a Windows XP exception -- do you want to send an error report?     Downloaded and installed v4.1.4 from the website and Palm Desktop works again.
    Makes me wonder if there's some kind of date/time issue, that would have triggerd sometime between 11/28 and 11/30, that affected both Palm Desktop v4.1.0 AND the Palm OS that I'd been running on Palm IIIxe unit (the most recent version that WOULD run on IIIxe,
    insofar as far as I can tell now, with not being able to get past this Fatal Alert).
    Looked for the various cited tinyurl links in this forum that point to reset documentation (hoping for the least destructive; since my last backups would have been done likely in the hotsync that was aborted), yet those links all apparently point to hosts that cannot be reached.
    I LOVE my IIIxe and do NOT want to have to upgrade hardware and software for something I have to cradle and sync in order to recharge.  Give me a machine that I can replace the batteries at any 7-Eleven or Wal-Mart no matter where I travel.
    Post relates to: Palm IIIxe

    Not sure what caused this but with the fatal alert message you typically need to hard reset the handheld.
    If you had Palm desktop open while Windows, virus software or any apps that do updates did an update and caused the error.
    Are you still getting the fatal alert message? You need to hard reset the handheld if you are.
    Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding reset procedures.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887
    The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
    Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
    Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
    With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
    Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
    With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
    For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

  • X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatality Pro Series & WIN 7 - help !

    As mentioned in the subject of this post, I have a Fatality Pro Series Xfi Xgamer PCI card. Everything seems to be working fine in WIN7-64bit except..... I cannot seem to locate a version of the THX Console Launcher. Granted, there isn't much I cannot set through the Audio Control Panel that came with the driver pack but I cannot seem to find any way to get to the equalizer settings that you would normally be able to set thru the THX control panel.
    I have been tempted to just download the vista64 version of it but I am not sure if that would work or not,
    OH and I am also looking for a WIN7-64 compatible version of the Alchemy application for re-enabling EAX support in older games.
    Any ideas, suggestions, links to downloads?

  • XtremeGamer Fatality Pro - Mic skipping/chopping prob

    Hi,
    Recently purchased the X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Pro and I'm having a weird issue with the mic. Occasionally the microphone will begin to skip or chop, giving my voice a weird effect. It's usually resolved by changing modes back and forth or doing some random stuff in the sound mixer, although I haven't really found any solid solution. It will come back randomly after a few minutes, or several hours.
    I tried the latest drivers, as well as the base drivers included with the cd, and both have the issue. Onboard sound is turned off. Using XP 64. Any ideas?

  • Babylon Search Engine overrides Home Page and New Tabs - About: Config Reset does not work

    Tried new tab homepage addon as well.
    Tried uninstalling Babylonobject installer with Revo Uninstaller forced uninstal.
    Tried reinstalling firefox.
    Setting Homepage to Show a Blank Page works for the startup but means I cannot have a homepage setup.
    Firefox detects something trying to change the homepage on start up but does nothing about preventing Babylon even if the change is denied.

    It sounds like you have a Third-Party Toolbar that has taken over your Search Engine, Home Page, and/or the Default New Tab Page. Fortunately this can be remedied easily:
    # At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
    # In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
    # Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
    # Click the Remove button.
    # Click Restart now if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
    After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
    For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].

  • SoundBlaster X-FI XtremeGamer Fatality Pro & Windows Vista 64 Drive

    Just wondering what the current driver is for my video card ( SoundBlaster X-FI Xtreme Gamer Fatality Pro). I downloaded the following driver (Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Pack .04.0078) and I'm not sure it is the correct driver. I've searched the forums and see that everyone is talking about the recently pulled driver (SBXF_PCDVT_LB_2_5_0003.exe). Would this be the driver I should be using for my sound card If not, what is the correct driver I should be using for my sound card Is there a current driver for my sound card I noticed that this driver is available as well (Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi XtremeMusic, Platinum, Fatalty and Elite Pro with Open AL support 2.09.0007). Just trying to clear up some confusion and not mess up my recently formatted computer with the newly installed Windows Vista 64. I'm hoping someone can help clear things up for me. Thanks for the replies.

    I'm not sure what all is included in the Audio Pack but the 2.5.0002 or .0003 drivers are technically the correct ones. (You may only be able to get .0002 since the other one was pulled). However, you'll find that a majority of users are completely unable to run Vista with an X-Fi card at all.
    The easiest way to get the latest driver/software is to go here: http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/ and select the card you own.
    Good luck, but don't hold your breathe...

  • Urgent: End of Year Config Reset

    Our posting period setup has the 2008/09 periods linked to a period category called 20052006.
    The subsequent GL Determination for the category 20052006 is incorrect.
    I have now corrected the determination linked to this category, however we are unsure whether this is the only area that will have been affected.
    Are there likely to be further implications such as reporting, posting etc?
    Also is there any impact of the category being labeled 20052006 rather than 2008/2009 or is this simply a label?

  • Reset about:config

    I followed a Mozilla Support article about manually uninstalling a plugin. I got the plugin removed but I remember I had to change a value from true to false or from false to true in the about:config of my Firefox browser. I can't, for the life of me, find this article again and can't remember if I changed this value back afterwards.
    First of all, does anyone know what article I'm talking about?
    Would this value be something that could negatively affect my experience? (Change something or make something not work right until it's reset to the original value?)
    And finally, would uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox reset all the values in the about:config? Would something special need to be done to make the about:config reset? (I don't particularly want to delete all my bookmarks, logins, preferences, etc. though...)
    Thanks!!

    BTW, that pref isn't need to view the full path to plugins in Firefox 22.0 - plus versions. '''about:plugins''' automatically shows the full path without changing plugin.expose_full_path to true.
    And any users who did toggle that preference to true in the past should change it back to false.
