X-Fi XtremeMusic crippling my PC. Advi

I've been struggling with this very weird problem since putting together my new?system 3 months back. I can boot up fine, but when I open up too many tabs (around >5) under IE7,?the system stops responding e.g. context menu does not appear when I right click, & no window appears when I open a new folder. The start button?continues to?respond though, but nothing happens when I click on a program. I can also move my mouse pointer around so it doesn't look like the pc has hanged. Sometimes, this is accompanied by the 'critical stop' error sound that goes on & on. This problem is very reproducible and it always goes away when I close some IE tabs. I also notice it happen more when the web content contains video or pdf?etc.. Opening memory intensi've programs like photoshop also causes the same symptoms until I exit them. This is seriously?restricting my productivity. Naturally, I thought maybe my?RAM was bad. But I was experiencing ocassional hissing & crackles on the x-fi too. So recently, I decided to disable the x-fi hardware in device manager and use the onboard Realtek sound instead. And surprise, all that IE / multi-tasking problems went away as well! Any ideas? Could it be I just happen to have a bad card?My specs are:Core 2 Duo 6320Gigabyte P965 DS3P2 GB DDR2 RAMEagle GeForce 8600GTX-Fi XtremeMusicXP Professional

Ok.
This problem was solved.
In this right moment i'm reinstalling again.
The pc still having reboots.
I try with diferents drivers and I think that the problem it's not the drivers.
You can tell me if Msi have some problems of compatibility
I`m using a Msi motherboard and i only can connect the sound card in the Pci-e x
If i try to insert in the pci-e x6 the pc can't boot windows.
The model of the mobo it's 790Xt-g45
Bye and thanks again

Yosemite crippled PDF text annotation with Preview.

In previous versions of preview, you used to be able to select 'textbox' markup tool and one-click create textboxes wherever you want on a pdf. Now, with the new Yosemite, selecting 'text' markup tool creating a textbox in the middle of the screen, not where-ever you click. This cripples the productivity of annotating lecture slides during a lecture. I don't want my text box to always appear right in the middle of the page- I want to click to place it.
Also, why is it vertically center justified- who, EVER, used vertically center justified text rather than vertically top justified text?
Are there anyways around this?

The link below provides instructions for annotating a pdf in Yosemite Preview, and additional links at the bottom of this page provide instructions for several other pdf editing capabilities:
Select and copy text in a PDF
Fill out and sign PDF forms
Add, delete, or move pages in a PDF
Crop or rotate a PDF
Add effects to a PDF

MOUSE-OVER MENUS & iWEB: my crippled site

For hours and hours, over the last several months, I've been working with a brilliant programmer who managed to write html/java script/CSS code that created mouse-over menus on my iWeb site. With the help of two additional programs - mass-replace-it and key-maestro, with one stroke, iweb properly exported to a local folder, mass-replace-it introduced my mouse-over code into all html files which were then uploaded to Go-Daddy via an ftp program.
The result: a 95% near-hit––however, due to our inability to achieve 100% fully functional mouse-over/pull-down menu code, we both finally gave up.
No joke, this has been one of the deepest disappointments of my adult years.
Here's the link:
www.petersolon.com
I plan to keep up my crippled site for the nest 24 - 72 hours, hoping someone out there can convey why, when any one of a number of pages (for instance, go to "mission" which is one of the Intro pages) - in fact, when most pages, are refreshed, once, twice, 3 or 4 times (particularly in Firefox) - suddenly, entire navigation strings jumps down and beneath the line they should be straddling. In other words, for some unknown reason, again primarily (but not entirely) in Firefox (yes, we're using the latest version) refereshing page several times, at some point, pushes the primary navig. menus to a spot they should not move to.
We tried every trick in the book, introducing older programming gimmicks like fixed tables, lengthening the "place-holder" iWeb entities that welcome/introduce the appropriate code for each page, getting the iWeb header out of the way, etc, etc - and yet, refresh 1, 2, 3 or 4 times whop/wham: primary nav menus jump down 100 pixels or so, below the very line they should be over - as if some "onload" or java script command or some unfathomable interaction between firefox and iWeb won't allow it to work.
If anyone can help.....please––we came so close. Finally, programmer gave up due to sheer exhaustion, lack of options, as did I...
Thanks so much in advance, Peter

It's a font rendering problem, and it's a repeat-able
problem in firefox, and to some degree in other
browser also. I see it in firefox and safari on vista
machine.
Try to set monospace font size to something big like
16-point, and minimum font size to none; play with
font settings. You will see the problem.
Cyclosaurus, I really appreciate your taking time to see if it reproduces.
But it's not a font rendering problem--that much I know.
In iWeb generated sites - probably sites generated by other software as well - upon refresh, there's often a slight bounce or movement and then movement back--this is for text, graphics, whatever. ("onload" command (??).
On my site, in the code - only upon refresh (which is the really weird part) - there's something about the positioning of the primary nav string and its relationship to the pink graphic. At one point, each indiv primary navigation menu would "jump over" the pink graphic. However, we "tied" the indiv. primary nav menus to each other using a fixed table, (I'm not a programmer but from what I've heard, I guess this was a programming strategy that was common prior to css.) Anyway, now the whole string either jumps over the pink line - or doesn't - and - again, upon refresh - it also jumps back to its proper position. When it jumps back to its proper position (relative to pink graphic), mouse-over menus work fine.
It seems to be related to primary nave string's position vis a vis pink graphic - and (weirdly) refresh.
We tried removing the "on-load" command from iWeb's code but that didn't work. Tried removing height commands - but that didn't work. Tried removing all elements from a typical page, one by one - but that didn't work.
Any further help would be appreciated...thank you much again....

Crippled software or malfunctioning hardware...ipod mystery still unsolved

My last post was removed so here is the recap:
I have a 15gb "older" ipod that since the latest round of software updates no longer mounts or is recognized by my mac (or anyone elses for that matter). In trying to determine whether the problem is hardware or software, I switched the connection cable from my firewire one to the newer usb cable. To my surprise, it worked! I then tried several other firewire cables from my friends (thinking perhaps I had a bad cable) and not a single one worked.
However, there was one odd problem that I noticed while using the usb cable to back up my data so I could do a full restore and hopefully get the ipod working with my firewire cable again. The odd thing was that while the usb would mount my ipod, it would NOT deliver power to the unit. That meant that somehow the ipod was mounting but it was NOT getting power over the usb bus.
This really confuses me.
I have already determined that I need a new ipod battery which is about $15...but outside of that, what is going on here? Also, when I tried to do a restore from the latest ipod updater it specifically said that my ipod required a firewire connection to the restore and NOT the usb. Luckily, I had the older updaters and was able to restore the ipod. I then checked it with Disk Utility and did repairs, permissions, etc.
However, after all this, my ipod still ONLY mounts via the usb cable. There is no data on it and I tried other machines than my own with the firewire cable to no success. The ipod refuses to mount, it only recharges itself...so I know the cable is not damaged.
So if anyone has any ideas about what is going on here I would love to hear them...
Either Apple has crippled the older ipods with their newest updates in favor of the usb spec versus firewire OR my ipod and its cable/dock are doing some VERY strange things.
My ipod is "old" but has never failed me once in all the time I have had it. I am a tech so I have plenty of background on what common problems and fixes are for ipods...however this time I am just plain stumped! It seems like it is hardware but then it does not add up, why does it only work with a new ipod usb cable? Again I tried with several other friends firewire cables and they did not work either...
Does my 15gb ipod think its newer than it actually is??? What could cause this behavior??
please share your thoughts and I hope this topic does not get locked or my post removed.

Well! What a very very odd thing indeed!
First question--were you able to use your FireWire cable to restore your iPod or did you have to use the USB connection?
Second--Have you tried connecting your iPod (using the FireWire cable) to another computer?
The issues you're describing lead me to believe your computer's FireWire ports may need to be reset. Your answers will help determine if I'm correct.
Sounds to me like your iPod is a 3rd generation (touch wheel, 4 buttons above the wheel). This iPod isn't capable of receiving a charge over USB (definitely an inconvenience for Windows users!).
Hope I've helped shed a bit of light on things

SCOM 2012 R2 agent upgrade fails crippling agents

Running into a large amount of SCOM agents that are failing the upgrade from 2012 SP1 to R2 and would appreciate any feedback from my SCOM community colleagues. Warning this issue is not for the faint of heart.
Plan:
I am in the process of upgrading 1900 manually installed SCOM 2012 SP1 agents to R2. I am using SCCM to deliver the upgrade using the standard sanctioned upgrade parameters.
Momagent.msi /qn /l*v %SystemDrive%\SCOM2012AgentUpgrade.log AcceptEndUserLicenseAgreement=1
Problem:
I have run into a problem where on a larger group of systems, 165 servers, where the upgrade fails and leaves the agent in a crippled state. At this point the agent cannot be removed cleanly via add remove, nor can a straight install of the agent
be done. What is required is a manual removal of registry keys and then a clean install of the agent can be performed to remediate. This is no problem and I am able to do this. (Note: all other methods of agent removal did not work ie:
Cleanmom.exe utility or add remove)
Task:
Seeing that we need to do agent upgrades in the future it would be great to know why this happened so we can plan for this in the future.
Notes:
Seems like a random sample of servers (2003/2008) with different applications running on them so that doesn't help in narrowing things down.
Looking at the MSI log, I see a common issue among systems that had this problem.

Ok so the obvious is that the installer is looking for original source installation files and not able to find them. What is surprising to me however is that the product references a 32 bit scom agent guid
387306D9-78CE-4E0E-B952-28A50CC8B3EE, however this is a 64 bit machine. Our build process dictates that a 64 bit machine only receive a 64 bit SCOM agent.
Doing a search on this product guid I realized I skipped some other references at the top of the MSI log that might offer some more explanation...

Well that is interesting, seems to me that in the first line the MSI installer reads the OM_OM12_SP1_AGENT_FOUND property and identifies this with a 64 bit agent guid (8B21425D-02F3-4B80-88CE-8F79B320D330), but then appends
the 32 bit guid at the end (387306D9-78CE-4E0E-B952-28A50CC8B3EE). This is the point of my confusion and my suspicion as the cause of the problem I am having.
Concluding thoughts:
Why does the installer seems to first recognizes a 64 bit agent, but then later changes it's property to include a 32 bit agent guid.  Could a 32 bit agent have got on this 64 bit server based on the details of this log? Would this
cause my agents to fail the upgrade? I think so, but looking to bounce this over to another fellow SCOM colleague who may have wrestled with this before.
Thanks in advance if you took the time to read this and think about it. Extra points if you have any extra thoughts!

X-fi Xtrememusic doesn't have the bottoms of DD and DTS in the audio console

Hellow every body!....
I have a little problem with the Creative X-fi Xtrememusic OEM that I bought...:
) The issue is that when the card is instaled withthe drivers, I notice that the windows detect the sound card as a X-fi audio, and not with the name of x-fi xtreme music.... this is normal? all the x-fi are detected as a x-fi audio?... Because this card that I have, is the xtrememusic sure.... because the audio is blue and its diferent like the sound card that I have...
2) Thats is the light problem.... Now the heavy xD: After installed the sound card I notice that in the audio console there is NO bottoms of the options "DD and DTS"... this sections are missing...
I try to uninstall the cd drivers... download the last drivers of this page... and when the last drivers are installed... there is no audio console and nothing.... only the driver and a old audio console... (not the with moder audio console that shows up in the current x-fi)
- Know I format my PC and I installed all again.... and the same problems shows up...
I have the windows xp ue v7....
Any how can help me? I don't know what to do... I try anything and nothing works...

when did you purchase this xtrememusic? if I don't remember wrongly.... the newer refresh doesn't have dd and dts decoding anymore and have to use the included powerdvd to do it. only the older refresh of xtrememusic include dd/dts decoding via creative driver. furthermore yours is an oem version....it may also have different function/feature. you can try searching the CD and see if there is any folder by the name of "PDVD" or something?with?"dvd",?can't?really?remember?the?ex act?name... if?the?CD?you?have?have?this?folder,?then?you?won' t?have?the?ddd/dts?function?in?the?audio?console.

XP Service Pack 3 cripples live drive

% Once I upgrade to service pack 3 my li've dri've no longer works.
I have tried reinstalling the creative drivers, but Windows seems to re-install broken drivers.
After upgrading to service pack 3 none of my li've dri've inputs (mic/line2) show up in the windows or creative mixer.
Please help!

)Re: XP Service Pack 3 cripples li've dri've? Dear fellow user:
I may be reaching a bit but I would like you to try something that is very simple. Go to your Creative software and verify in each program that your I/O dri've cannot be seen. Then shutdown the machine. UNPLUG THE i/o dri've with power and the ribbon cable. Restart the machine. Verify again that you have or do not have access to any of the features. (I know this sounds silly)? Then shutdown the machine and reconnect everything. This is similar to removing a device and letting windows redetect it. I have a very old (*998*) Creative Li've Dri've (precursor to the I/O dri'ves) that was not recognized in Windows XP nor Vista. Then I shutdown and replugged everything and rebooted and it was there again. This may sound funny I know, but it almost sounds like Windows just has not picked up the Li've Dri've on this pass. It COULD BE? a service pack 3 issue, but again please give my answer a try. If that does not work, reinstall your driver suite once on top of the Service pack 3 system again. Service packs are massi've updates to your system and it takes a bit to get everything refreshed.
Cheers

X-fi XtremeMusic makes ugly noise first, then turn off

Hey, I bought a XtremeMusic just some days ago and tried to install it. First question I had, was, if the card needs an extra current entry because in the manual is written, that I only need it for a E/A console, which I don't got.
So I just connected the PCI Slot and started the PC. I didn't have to deactivate the Onboardsound because I got another Soundcard before. So I just installed the drivers. (I got to say here, that I connected the card analog with my z5500 5. system)
First, anything I got was high peep tone - then I heard nothing. So I looked through the settings - everything was okay here. I visited the official homepage and loaded the newest drivers. After some reboots the card actually worked - for a day.
Today I wanted to test the headphonefunction of the card. I switched the card to headphones and put it in the green box. What I got was a feep-tone again. So I tested the headset with my mp3-player and it worked. So it's the soundcard again, making ugly noises.
But when I wanted to get the sound back to 5. - the tone remains. After a short time, the sound disappered fully. The strange thing is, that I can't really play music. When I play a song in Foobar, it can't start. Same in Youtube, it stocks after 3 seconds. Just the WMP plays songs - without sound.
I don't know what to do know because all the links in the stickies don't work. Please give me an advice howto clean all drivers to install them again. (And of course give me further information - If you know the problem)?

I may have misunderstood what you meant, but when I reinstall again over top of the existing drivers, the add new hardware wizard never even pops up. I only get that when I do a fresh install.. And in that case I ordinarily do select cancel..
Also, it turns out that I get these same errors when installing almost any Creative application or driver..Message Edited by PONCHO2 on 08-24-2008 03:06 PM

X-Fi XtremeMusic BSOD on B

This just started happening a month ago and I can't figure it out. My X-Fi causes Vista to BSOD on boot when installed. When I take the X-Fi out, it works fine. I'm also getting a ton of "Unknown PCI Device" in the device summary screen on boot. Never saw these until about a month ago when the problem started. Took a picture of the BSOD.
[img"]http://www.map-depot.com/xfi_bsod.jpg">
I have found the thread that talks about ACPI and something about an issue with the 2MB X-Fi cards and the nForce4 chipset (which is what I have). I saw a post from a Creative support staff member saying that I could RMA the card, but the post is from 2005. I've had the card for a while, but as I said, the problem just started about a month ago, and I have no idea why. It was running fine since I've bought it. But the description of the problem occurring in that thread is identical to what I'm having happen now. A fix suggested in the thread is to update your BIOS... but I have no BIOS update available for my board.
MSI K8N Master2-FAR
2 x AMD Opteron 256 (.8Ghz Dual-Core)
4GB Kingston PC3200 ECC
2 x BFG GeForce 7800GTX OC (SLI Mode)
Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic (Uninstalled)
Creative Audigy2 ZS (Installed)
3 x Various sATA2 HDD's (950GB Total)
Pioneer DVD+-RW sATA
Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit
Does anyone have any suggestions or know whether the offer to replace the x-fi cards that cause this still stands?
Thanks!

Have you tried putting the card in a different PCI slot?

X-Fi XtremeMusic drivers blue-screening me nigh

I am at a loss on what to do here so any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
I get typically one blue screen per night for months now. Sometimes I don't actually crash, but get spells of lag where the machine feels like it is taking forever to respond to actions. Sometimes if I click shutdown in Windows the machine acts like it is going to shut down, then does nothing at all.
So I ran Microsoft's WinDbg on my crash logs and it turns out it is emupia2k.sys ( emupia2k+d7ca ) - after some googling I confirmed this is indeed the culprit.
My board is an MSI P4N Diamond based on Nforce 4 chipset with P4 3ghz, 4GB Ballistix DDR2 RAM, and dual 7800GT's in SLI. I have the latest BIOS (.50), all the latest patches for Windows XP Pro, and the latest Creative drivers for my X-Fi XtremeMusic (2.09.0007 - Oct 30, 2006) and still no dice. Still having the same problems.
I have read about killing some of the processes (ie DLLML.exe) but that seems kinda hack and the one time I did kill DLLML.exe shortly afterwards I still ended up crashing.
Thanks in advance for any information.

Have you tried by (temporary) disabling the CTXFISPI.EXE process from running?
Just ctrl+alt+del ... task manager ... processes -tab ... select the ctxfispi and hit the end process -button (the process is ended untill you start it manually or boot next time).

Have not tried that. Any idea if it will have any adverse effects doing that?

X-Fi xtrememusic vista 32bit NO SOU

i've set up the xtrememusic x-fi card on my PC running on vista, and installed the vista driver, however there is no sound output. On 'playback devices' within the windows volume mixer, everything looks ok and when i play a sound file the green bars light up. I've tried plugging in headphones & my speakers but there is no sound output. I've looked around the support section of the website and it suggest changing settings on something called the 'creative surround mixer, but the only thing i have is something called "Audio Console". I'm using 2 analogue speakers/ or headphones. Any ideas how i can get my sound working!
Many thanks!

Dont have a problem with it. Its your system...
Best is to reinstall vista from scartch, appliing service pack on it, and the install creative drivers. Turn DEP on for all programs.
Dont turn off UAC and driver signature verfification. Vista runs best without tweaking around.

X-Fi XtremeMusic = Headphones&Mic + Speake

Hi out there!
I need your help!
Plz!
I've got a Audigy X-Fi XtremeMusic installed and all works excellent! (I love the 24bit crystalizer ^_^d)
But I'd like to listen to some music on my stereo and on the other hand I'd like to use some communication-software (teamspeak, skype.. etc), which should be directed through the headphones.
At moment I try to get along by having installed the onboard-soundblaster (ac97 @soundmax version 5.2..3630, mobo: asus p4c-800e-deluxe) and using the "SoundMax Digital Audio"-Device for Teamspeak. The headphone and the microphone is plugged in the motherboard's sockets... and generally it works. BUT.. if I change the master-volume-control on the SoundMax-Control-Panel this change will also affect the master-volume of the creative-audigy-panel!?!?!
Is it possible to change the volume independently? And if so, how? Or are there any other solutions?
I've just discovered a button near the volume-control of the entertainment-mode.. apparently the headphone-volume can be changed autonomously.. so, maybe it's possible to do it with just the Audigy X-Fi Soundcard and the right adjustments?
I'm very confused and I'm very bad in understanding technics... and my english is bad too, sorry!
But, if you understand my problem and have any solution... please help me...!

I am having similar problems. I can use my mic fine but the static/overall quality of recording with my mic is HORRIBLE. I have tried 2 headsets and a regular microphone that I bought awhile back. I have an X-Fi ExtremeMusic that I just recently bought, and I installed the drivers off the cd, then updated the drivers on the soundblaster website. If I switch to Game mode, my record device is set on mic, but the static is unbearable.

X-Fi Xtrememusic w/ Heatsink Lower RMAA Resul

Hi,
I just purchased the X-Fi Xtrememusic and am loving the quality of the Analog out with my headphones. I'm curious though, because accorfing to this
http://audio.rightmark.org/downloads/Sound%20Blaster%20X-Fi%20Testing%20Methodology%20And%20Results%20For%2 0RMAA%20v5.5.pdf
, I should be getting a noise level/dynamice range of around 94/94 @ 6/44., and around -02/02 @ 24/96. However, I'm getting a slightly lower result of -92/92 and -99/99 respecti'vely. Are those people with heatsinks also getting the same results? If so, does this mean the newer revisions have slightly lower specs? Or am I the only one getting this, and is this grounds for replacement? Thanks in advance for your answers!

Also, I failed to mention most of the capacitors are really bent, but it doesn't seem to affect performance. Could this be a factor?

X-Fi XtremeMusic + Creative Headphones HQ-2300D. Digital Outpu

Have just gotten the 5. HQ-2300D headphone, and am unable to get them working in Dolby Digital or DTS mode with my SB X-Fi XtremeMusic. What is the correct way to connect these headphones to my SB so i can get digital sound form the headphones? Am i right in thinking the only way to get Digital sound is by also purchasing the Sound Blaster Digital I/O Module? Surly i should just be able to connect the 3.5m to 3.5m jack supplied with the headphones to the Digital 3.5m socket on the rear of the X-fi to the palm-sized decoder and that should work? Well i tired that and i couldnt get any sound. Can someone help please in telling me how to get digital sound and the correct way to connect these head phones up

Surly i should just be able to connect the 3.5m to 3.5m jack supplied with the headphones to the Digital 3.5m socket on the rear of the X-fi to the palm-sized decoder and that should work?
Yes, that should be the correct connection. Assuming you're in Entertainment mode now. Go to the Digital I/O menu (farthest right) and make sure the Flexijack mode is set to Digital I/O. Also change the Digital output sampling rate to 48khz.
