HI. I have had my plextor 12/10/32 for a little over a year, and untill last May it was great. But then I noticed that when I put in a cdr or cdrw to burn, it would "SKIP, SKIP, SKIP" and after about 20 minutes of this (the system pretty much halted) it would SOMETIMES get out of the skiping loop; other times it just won't get out of it. Then, if I am lucky to get out of the loop, and burn, it gets up to 99% complete, then "SKIP, SKIP, SKIP" and it just won't stop. The orange light keeps flashing like it is trying to write, but it won't get out. I tried ejecting the cdr, but it won't go, and the small hole for paper clips won't get it out either. My only option then is to restart, and then it imediatley acts like normal, boots fine, and the drive opens and closes. I have a KT7A-raid, on IDE 1 (primary), checked jumpers, tried different IDE channel (but not the raid controller duh!), latest abit Bios update, latest firmware from plextor, Adaptec Easy CD 4 (latest version with patches and direct cd patches), latest 4in 1 (4.33), reset bios to default safe settings (but normally it's under AUTO detect for all ide drives), tried PIO mode in windows (normally udma), have done a fresh format with windows 2k (sp1, and sp2), and windows xp rc2... BUT NADA. And I am sure it isn't windows, becuase I have tried it in dos, and the same problem (skip skip). I think that is it... and ofcourse, the media: sony, tdk, compusa generic crap, all 12x certified worked fine up till MAY, but now all these medias give me problems. 300 watt power supply. On my IDE chain I have a pioneer 10x dvd as slave, and secondary master is a udma 66 maxtor hd (this is recent, and it still didn't work before I added this drive). PHEW. I think that is all the troubleshooting I have tried. I talked to plextor, filled out the RMA, and ofcourse my warante has expired (and they want $100 to repair plus $15 for shipping? GAH!!!!!!). SO I saw a TDK 16x for 130 on sale with 50 rebate, but I really don't want to put any more money into cd burners, since XMAS time would be great for a DVD-R (I LIKE the pioneer internal, anyone else like it>?) THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

Anyone?

Creative said drivers for xp when xp is released to public. But I am doubtfull, since they havn't even posted Win200 drivers on their website for the audigy. I used the w2k drivers off teh cd for my audigy platnum, and it "kinda" works. The sound crackles like a mofo and like you said, the soundfont doesn't work. They had better hurry, cause i am getting mighty' mad!

I used the Win 2000 drivers in XP, and it "worked" but not satisfactory. the sound crackles all teh time. damn creative. they said xp drivers will be out in october, but they didn't even list win2000 drivers on their site YET!

Hi. I use to have a WinTV pci card, and it worked fine in windows xp 2600. Now that I have installed my new WinTv PVR with the latest windows 2000 drivers (with the patch) my card still won't work! Anyone gotten theirs to work, or know where I could get some beta drivers? Thanks!

Thanks for the help, but I talked to Hauppage and they thought it was a defective card, so I am gona RMA it. Thanks again for the help everyone, I appreciate it!

Hmm. So I installed the win2000 drivers, restarted, then let it detect the drivers and finish installing. Then I ran the update. Restarted, updated and let it detect the updated drivers. Then installed the wintv 2000 app. These are all the latest off hauppage's website. When i launch Wintv 2000, the startup screen just stays there, and nothing happens. My mouse doesn't lock up, and i can force quit the program. I tried the Hauppage utility, and it finds the hardware and will refresh the hardware number. So any help would be appreciated. I have tried a clean isntall even, and no luck. Thanks!

I have the creative 2500, and i think it's 5.1. Hmm. i get a bunch of pops and crackles. do u know how to fix that? i have a kt7a raid, 256 ram, winxp.

I WISH I KNEW. GRRRRRR. F**KING Creative doesn't even have Audigy drivers for 9X/2000 at their site for download... pretty pathetic. I installed the 2000 drivers in XP, and they crackle and perform pretty bad. Anyone out there know where we could pick up some xp drivers for our audigy? I know creative said xp drivers would be available when xp is released, but they don't even have windows 2000 or 98 drivers for download. Sounds like good old creative trying to impress people and wanting to get them to buy more of their crap. I bought my SBLIVE and loved it, however I bought it a year and a half after it was released, with most of the drivers worked out. I have never been the first to get a Creative audio card, and the nightmares that others had with their sblives at first sound just like my audigy right now. GRRRRRRRRR

HMM... I just bought Partition Magic 6, and now I have found out that they want me to pay $50 for an upgrade to 7 so it can "support" windows xp filesystem. WTF? I want a free upgrade cause I am a Liberal consumer and I have Ralph Nader to distroy your business if you don't agree! KIDDING... but really, this if freaking lame that I have to pay $50 to upgrade so I can use this program in Windows XP. What are you guys going to do? Any ideas? I doubt compatibility mode is a safe thing to run this program in. And I doubt they will take a refund... any ideas guys? Thanks

Hi. I have been using my DC30 Pro in windows 2000 just fine (accept for the 2gb limit), and I was wondering if anyone had problems in windows xp? Thanks. OH... what program do you use that is free to get around the 2 gb file size limit? IE, breaks the video into 2 gig clips on the fly. I still havn't gotten over this, and am tired of having my recording stop after 10 minutes. Please help...Thanks! PS... SORRY for the wrong forum... for some reason it won't let me deleate this message
