i thought i would have checked that already - i had. everything in the control panel looks ok. indeed, the wave source works fine when i am using audio editors. it's just for winamp and media player that i get no signal. maybe i should try un- then re-installing both these progs? that's what i'm ...

i'll let you know later. i'm at work, the PC is at home.

thx anyway!

yes i have a wave source wired up . still no sound..

ie mp3s, CDs, mpegs, etc.

there doesn't seem to be a directsound module in SFP - this was how the old pulsar played such things. since installing SFP, i have been unable to hear any sound when using winamp or any other software that tries to use pulsar as a 'normal' PC soundcard, such as windows ...

There is actually medical evidence showing that large amounts of mdma can damage the serotonin gland (giving you less of your internal happiness drug) and also damage the hippocampus (long-term memory area). So as far as I'm concerned it is not evevn a case of 'wait and see' - but more ...

oh, sorry - music.

i know quite a few top underground techno producers, and most of them have been psychedelic drug users in the past, but are not any longer. it helps you know what works if you have been part of a luvdup crowd. nearly all of them use weed. however most of the original detroit guys ...

interesting to note - my experience as an inhabitant of glasgow is that almost everyone i know has gone through a period of taking what might by people from elsewhere be regarded as enormous quantities of drugs, especially mdma. very few if any of the people i know have had lasting bad experiences ...

the latest news from the front line is that since tweaking memory timings as subhuman suggested, the crash frequency has dropped to an acceptable level of about once every 2 hours, rather than every 10 minutes. so that definitely had a positive effect.

irq - no conflict, each device on its own irq ...

hmm yes, good point. the reason for me having so much installed is i ghosted this from an earlier time when i naively believed it would just work.

it's getting to the point where i'm wishin i didn't have a pulsar again. i'm interested in music, not computing.

well well, campers, guess what? i spoke too soon. the long running soap opera of my pc pulsar nightmare continues.

it appears that the same problem causing crashes in win2000 is also causing crashes in win98. after 5-10 minutes of using cubase i get a big crash, total lockout, hit reset, do not ...

i've installed win98se and everything so far seems ok..

thanks anyway.

how do you do that with my board? is it a jumper thing? can't find any bios settings for that.

ha, that would be funny, i just replaced one of them.

yes my pc only crashes when using the pulsar directly, ie using the pulsar software itself, or any other sound software - cool edit, cubase, reason. doesn't crash when using other software eg photoshop, and hasn't crashed when using media player either.

oh one other thing. at the moment i have my program files on a different partition from my windows files, is that a bad idea?

yeah...

although i've already tried this, twice.

maybe i'll try win98 then. i was using win2000 because i listened to advice from knowledgeable pc people..i guess problem with doing that is when you are a pulsar user, most other kinds of pc user effectively don't know shit..

upgraded my pc about 2 months ago, still have not got it to work. ideas please?

GA7DX mobo (AMD761 chipset) with onboard sound chip disabled in bios
AMD 1600 XP
512 Meg RAM
pulsar 2
geforce 2 video card
60 gig hard disk

windows 2000 clean install with service pack 2.
cubase 5.0r6
cool edit 2000 ...

look at the list of hardware we checked - what hadn't we ckecked?

the RAM...

guess what it was? a bad DIMM.

so there you go.

i'm back in biznezz, finally.

look again - i am trying to install windows.

check again mate- your prob is not really similar to mine. i have tried installin win 98, ME, XP, 2000, using different cd rom drives, different cables, different hdd. always same result. if no one can think of a possible solution to this freaky problem, i guess it's time to send the feckin ...
