Anti-Trend. I still have Norton Anti-Virus, and I don’t want to bother with a reinstall right now. Your explanations help a lot in making future decisions about the PC. Thanks a million! RA

Thanks Ninja! I appreciate the input, but that registry stuff is "way" over my head. Music I understand. Computers no! RA

What happened: I switched computer locations. The PC to Mac location, the Mac to PC location. At first I believe everything was OK. Then I noticed that I wasn’t receiving email on the PC, but I would receive email on the Mac. Thankfully! I’ve since switched computers back again. (I was preparing...

Can’t remove, or can’t install. Message:”Could not initialize AVG Anti-Virus kernel interface. Application cannot run”. Anyone know the cure, without a clean install? Thanks RA

Hi Dave35K, Yes, I’m running on Windows XP pro. I should have mentioned that. And since it displays all right, not to worry. Thanks for the explanation. I’m not good on acronyms. I figure you dropped the X after active, and c stands for controls. What does m8 stand for? Thank you in advance. RA

Scenario: I type something in MS Word. Copy and Paste it in OE email and get this message: “Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, this page may not display correctly”. (I click OK. The page displays all right to me, but why this message?)...

Hi Sniper! Thanks for the reply. I found out what the problem was, but couldn't remember where I posted my question, so thanks for anwering! :) The beep was coming from an electrial surge in the USB port. I changed to another USB port and the beep went away! This happened to me on my Mac. The...

When I plug the Alesis MultiMix 8 USB mixer into the PC and switch on the power, the level meter (that’s where you tell whether you’re getting any sound or not), flicks on a couple of lights at the bottom for a split second or two, approximately every thirty-seconds. It’s like I’m picking up...

It looks like it's good for go. If the sound is the same between the Platinum and standard, that's good enough for me. I just checked the OEM price for the Audigy 2 and it's $65 plus $7 ground shipping. Bill will charge me $99 plus tax, plus installation! He has spent a lot of time on this...

My Internet just came back on. Audigy2 you say? Now that you mention it, that's what I had in the first place. I first noticed the quality of the sound wasn't quite as good as my SB Audigy "Platinum". Then the Creative Media Center disabled Norton AntiVirus, then I couldn't plug in the mic and...

Hi guys! I just returned the Delta 1010LT. It was way too much for me to fingure out. Even Bill Chin backed off. He installed it and that's all.To begin with, how was I to plug in the three plugs that I need with my 5.1 speaker system? Also, I would have to get a different MIDI cable! After...

Hi forum! I need a sound card for my PC running XP-Pro. Minimum Requirements: 1. A 15 Pin female plug to accept the MIDI cable. 2. Three 1/8” female ports to accept the 1/8” Orange, Green, and Black plugs for the 5.1 speakers. 3. Two 1/8” female ports to accept the microphone and the...

Thanks for the reply! Yes, please keep me posted!

Re: Competition: Bill Chin has increased the inventory in his store to the point that I ribbed him of running competition with Staples. With all the people moving into this area and big housing tracts, plus individual homes being built all the time, it’s something to consider. They’ve begun to...

Hello Anti-Trend! Yes, I agree about Creative Media Center. There was another problem that I forgot to mention. In the first place, SB Audigy2 was an OEM. It didn’t come in a box. I asked Bill Chin if it was as an OEM, and he said yes. SB Audigy2 didn’t come with a front panel like my...

Hi Sniper! Glad to hear from you. Yes, I did uninstall NAV, and SB Audigy2 and its Creative Media Center both worked. Symantec (NAV) recommended not to install Creative Media Center, as they weren’t compatible. Re: Replacement for SB Audigy2 ZS Platinum. It’s the guy that sold me the...

In my new computer, I upgraded from the original sound card to SB Audigy2. It wasn’t compatible with Norton AntiVirus. You couldn’t install Creative Media Center and run Norton AntiVirus. So why pay money for something you can’t use! I upgraded again to SB Audigy2 ZS Platinum. The front MIC...

Thanks Big B, for your input. Question: Is the Firewall in my D-Link Router, good enough to block out any problematic incoming or outgoing traffic?

Thank you Waffle, ProcalX, Dave35K, Matttibb, for your input on the installing of SP 2, and special thanks to 01bolandn and addis for the input on the Firewalll. I needed that! :p

OK. I found the Security Center, and the Windows Firewall icons on my other PC. On the Windows Firewall options, there are: __ON (Recommended) Which was checked. __Don't allow exceptions. __OFF (Not recommended) I unchecked the ON, and checked the OFF. The Security Center now shows...
