View 6 RepliesI just upgraded to Vista U x64 and am having sound problems. I have a prelude x-fi sound card but the sound coming out of it is extremely low. I have maxed out every thing I can max (control panel sound, creative panel) and the sound level is whisper quiet. I have also upgraded all my drivers except the prelude's, I would but their website isn't offering those drivers at the moment. But the drivers supplied with the card are vista certified so I should get something. But my mobo, etc is all updated. I have been searching for a solution for two days to no avail.
View 8 Replies View RelatedIf I run the default Vista audio drivers the output volume on my external speakers is very low (i would guess 10% of maximum) with all volume controls set to maximum. Double and Triple Checked - but no change. I have read here an in other forums to try updating to the new Realtek Audio drivers. I have done so, but when I do all of the volume comes from the internal speaker only on the tower. No audio coming out of external speakers. The Realtek Audio Manager in the system tray show a red (ish) speaker.

When I load my sounfont player into cakewalk studio; either using Sfz software or loading into midi channels I get a message saying there isn't enough memory. How can I increase the soundfont chache level on my SB card without software? Can I do it in registry?

You have to run in admin mode , else you will be booted by Punkbuster
Also had problems with online play being jerky. (where BF2142 is smooth as glass)
Rectified problem by running BF2 in XP Sp2 mode

I have this problem on Vista x6 which doesnt occur on x86. I install BF2 and the extras and patch to latest version available. The game runs fine (With tghe exception of nasty Widescreen support) But after playing for a while, no more than 20 minutes, it just crashes to desktop. This crash is silent, no error messages or anything.
I did a search for this and have seen the problem referenced in other threads but not in a thread that discusses it in detail. Does anyone else have/had this issue and if so any solutions known?
I'm on Vista x64 with 6GB of RAM, so I thought I would play a really cool game. I lost my copy of BF2 so I had to download a .iso of it. I patched (as in officially patched) the game after I installed it and now I have a big problem: the game then transfers to a black screen like it was loading, but then the game just crashes with no error messages. Can anyone give me a way to get this game to work?
i just installed battlefield 2 on vista home premium 32bit i have a dell xps m15300 with 4 gb ram 2.4ghz so its fast enough to run the game..
my computer uses nvidea geforve and it seems that my non-PnP monitor is set to 63hz refresh rate and i think it needs to be 60 for the game to work... how do i fix it? when i go into monitor settings its got a dropdown menu with only 62hz as an option.
I have a pretty decent system with 1800XT, P4 3.2Ghz, 2GB ram Battlefield 2142 used to run OK on XP -- not stellar, but it ran ~ 30fps at max settings @ 1024x768 In Vista, I get 100% CPU usage as soon as game starts -- even while only menu is displayed. In the game, at lowest settings @1024x768 I get about 15fps max, most of the time it is a completely unplayable <10fps. Moreover, it is not consistent, but lags for short period, then plays ok, then lags. In my previous Vista x64 install (where game was running worse than xp, but ok), I accidentaly enabled EAX on non SB sound card which caused huge CPU load and therefore huge lag -- I checked the settings this time, sound quality is at minimum and EAX is disabled.
I'm out of ideas -- why is CPU @ 100% all the time? Why is lag not constant, but does not depend on the complexity or amount of displayed material? While I play a game like Need For Speed Carbon -- Videocard is noticably stressed as fans kick in to full power, but with BF 2142 -- videocard seems to be chilling while processor almost never drops below 100%!!!! I have the most updated Videocard drivers available for Vista x64. This is pretty much the only game I play so I would really love to see this solved.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just recently bought the game and installed it, when I went to go run it my entire computer locks up and has to be hard booted. Looking on forums I ran it as administrator and also in Windows XP SP2 compatibly mode. Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem and my computer still locks up and requires a hard boot. I do not even get into the game before this happens. The screen stays at the desktop frozen. Another program I have also mimics this, Autodesk Inventor. Not sure if they are related but my teacher said that Vista 64bit seems to always be the problem. I would like to get both of these programs running, especially Battlefield 2142, but my computer seems to be fighting me. Many other games work, it is the deluxe edition, patched till 1.50.

I'm curious on what temps I should be cautious of reaching? I have a Intel Centrino 2 Duo P7350 2.0GHz. I've overclocked it to 2.4GHz and ran Orthos and about 3-4 minutes I checked HWMonitor. I was reaching temps around 75 Celsius (167 degrees Fahrenheit) on the CPU. So my question is, is that a safe temp to operate at and what is the "danger level" I should be concerned about?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI purchased a new PC in early 2007 that came with XP. A month or so later I received the Vista upgrade CD which I have never installed. I intend to buy Windows 7 when it becomes available and wish to minimize my system upgrade problems as much as possible. Based on my understanding I would have to do a complete harddrive erase to install Win 7 and then reinstall all my applications. If possible and practical I'd like to upgrade XP to Vista and then Vista to Windows 7. My question am I likely to have problems going from a current up to date version of XP to a 2+ year old version of Vista which would require many updates to bring up to the current level?.

How does everyone set their fans up for the best maximum airflow? Here is my computer case: Newegg.com - Rosewill R6426-P BK ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases Here is my CPU cooler: Newegg.com - ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler - CPU Fans & Heatsinks
I changed the stock fan that came with the case for a better 80mm fan, which is blowing inwards towards my cpu fan. I have the CPU fan turned so that the back fan is blowing into the back of the fan on the heatsink, so all airflow is coming from the back, through the heatsink towards the front of the case. I had to remove the duct from the side of the tower because the CPU cooler is so freakin' tall it is literally a 1.25" from the wall. So placing a fan in the duct's place is also pretty hard. The other available spot on the side panel also has an 80mm, which i'll upgrade to a 120mm fan. This fan blows inward towards my HUGE video card to try and keep that cool. I also removed all of the front aluminum panels (the ones which are removable when you place in a cd/dvd rom, which helps the air from the back to be blown through the front. Since the cd/dvd rom covers on the case are perforated, air blows through them nicely.
I wish to UPGRADE (not clean install) my vista ultimate to win 7 ultimate.I put the win 7 (full version) DVD in my computer, setup ran and told me to remove Kaspersky anti-virus.I removed Kaspersky anti-virus and did the requested re-boot.
Now when I put the win 7 DVD in, setup does not run. When I try to double click on the DVD drive in explorer I get a readme text file and that's all.Trying to run: d:setup.exe in the run command on the start menu and at a command prompt does not work either.
I can boot from the DVD but that is only for a clean install, which I don't want to do.

How can we overcome this security flaw?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to setup the UAC so that it will allow designate programs without getting the very irritating pop up window, or program crash that occurs in some cases where the window doesn't pop up. I have tried just turning it off, but it appears Defender turns it right back on again.
I suppose the next step is to turn off Defender.
I understand why this security feature exists, but it gets to be extremely irritating. The most irritating part of it, is that some times I don't get the pop up window and the program I am trying to run simply crashes, or doesn't run correctly The crash is normally a hint to go and run the program specifically as the administrator. Sometimes the error is more deeply imbeded in program or system files and takes for ever to try and find out what the problem is.
I use Acronis backup software which always ran with no problems until one of the more recent Vista x64 updates, then it simply said that it ran but errors were encountered. After pouring over the log files in Acronis, I found that it couldn't run the backup because it didn't have the rights to access the backup drive.
So now things can't be scheduled and I have to run it manually.
There are times when the security features become a real burden. I hope this issue is fixed with Windows 7.
