hi piddi,

thanks for your reply. there's no external midi equipment, yes it skips even with short wav files looped, and there aren't any extraneous programs running, in the taskbar or otherwise.

it runs fine on my older box with just 1 driver, and the newer has 2 internal. 1 ready to be firewired up as well.

i know that it's not a matter of high track count, because it will skip with 1 mono track with no inserts loaded. i think that you're right and that getting a fresh, non dell XP and re-installing is the way to go.

i disabled it as well, thru device manager, and it also had no effect.

hi gary,

did you have to reinstall XP in order to make your dell work? i tried uninstalling the USB that was sharing the IRQ with the creamware card thru device manager, but that didn't seem to have an effect.

i've tried it in all the available PCI slots to no effect, save for the one currently ...

hi,

i fear that a re-installation of the OS might be the only thing that i can do. i found that the creamware *was* having an IRQ conflict with one of the USB ports, so i uninstalled that from the system, which (according to system information) cleared up the problem with the IRQ conflict.

it ...

ok, so i should make sure that IRQ steering is turned OFF, and then i should be able to manually assign the IRQ settings thru the resource tab in device manager?

i know that there is a way for me to list devices by the IRQ that they are using, but i can't recall how. this might also be useful to ...

thanks, and also the memory type in my machine is 1gb @ 533mhz mentioned in the above listed specs.

also - i've read other suggestions for disabling USB. i use a wireless keyboard and mouse, but this is not an issue, as i certainly don't mind replacing them with standard devices. the issue is with ...

hi,

video card is a Radeon X300, not integrated card.

currently the scope card is on IRQ4. i realize that IRQ5 set aside for soundcards, and IRQ4 for serial ports, but before you start jumping on me about IRQ sharing, i have already disabled all the serial and parallel ports in the bios, so how ...

so, what i'm hearing is:

there are No other users that have experienced this problem before.

there is no good way to fix the problem other than to reinstall windows with ACPI on (you can change a ACPI hal to a standard pc hal without re-installing windows, but not the other way around) and hope ...

while i can respect the disdain lots of leet folks have for buying pre-built systems, let me point out again that:

after the HAL failure and reinstallation of the drivers, the problem dissapeared until i followed creamware's advice and disabled ACPI.

that means that there has to be a good fix ...

that's a great answer =)

Dell Dimension 8400. i'm not in front of it right now so i can't get more specific.

i read up on the boot.ini and it seems as though changing the NoExecute option to AlwaysOff is the same as changing the line to Execute.

any other ideas?

to the person that suggested DEP -

i'd read about this already, and had heard that the fix was to change the line to
/NoExecute=AlwaysOff

but i'll try your fix as well.

to everyone else, thanks for your responses. yes i have tried a different PCI slot. no, so far as i can tell there is no IRQ ...

trust me, i'm not the one blaming SP2. that's the guy at creamware's response, and i think it's just because he is stumped and doesn't want to admit it.

this machine is for music only. i've disabled the parallel port, serial port, and nic in the bios. it has no other software installed, and no ...

i'm going to try to make this as brief as possible.

i use a the scope project card, p4 @3.2ghz, 1gb ram, WinXPsp2. before you ask, SP2 came preinstalled on the machine.

i use cubase SX3.

i had a lot of problems initially with popping and skipping during audio playback, and audio mixdown, which ...
