sfp 4.0 & ulli settings

angel777 · Post by **angel777** » Tue Apr 27, 2004 4:14 am

When changing the ulli settings without closing and reopening sfp I get a crash!

Does anyone has the same problem?Does is it related to HT processor?!
Thanx!

Hi
Yeah, happens to me as well. No HT.
Did you install over 3.1 or put 4 in a new directory?

I uninstalled 3.1 and than install 4.0 with the new drivers.

The problem doesn't appear if I "reboot" sfp.
Another new bug..

Hi
I have gone back to 3.1.
4 crashes on opening sometimes and seems to take forever to close.

Something must be amiss then- SFP4 closes faster on mine

Hi
I tried again last night 4.0... didn't crash but it is slower closing than 3.1. I will be 'cleaning up' my system within the month this may sort the problem.

Do you close any driver clients of SP4 before changing ULLI? Sequencer, mp3 player etc?

I have dual Xeons with Win2k and SFP 4.0 never crashed when I changed ULLI settings. I do have HT enabled but win2K doesn't recognize more than 2 CPU

Yes,I've closed my sequencer..
With 3.1 is all ok but with 4.0 for me is a new bug.
I'm using winxp pro with ht enabled.
The problem doesn't appears if I change ulli then close sfp4 and reopen it..

Hope for a fix(for the mixer 1632 too...)
Thanx guys!

After I used a small program called Registry Mechanic I never had any more computer crashing.There is a free trial of the program and to buy it is only $30. At least after you will be able to say that if there is a problem with Scope, it's not with the registry.

Most decent motherboards bought within the last 2 years should allow U to mess around quite a lot with IRQ's Note that some BIOS's require you to enter a keyboard sequence to see the 'advanced BIOS options’. This is typically Ctr+F1, unless you do this you don’t get to see the advanced IRQ type options available in your BIOS. Note also that virtually every MB I’ve played with links PCI slots 1 and 5 together; they share the same IRQ by virtue of the way the PCB is wired – you cannot separate them. The best dedicated IRQ to use is usually one of your serial ports. Disable one or both of the serial ports in the BIOS and dedicate the released IRQ to your Pulsar PCI slot (IRQ 2 or 3). On a modern MB there should be no problem running with ACPI under XP.

There seems to be a major problem with SFP 4 and HT processors (Intel 875 chipset). SFP4 frequently locks up the machine completely and you need to reset the PC. If you can get ‘Windows Task Manager’ started (sometimes you can but often the machine is just totally locked up and you cant start WTM) you will notice sometimes that 50% CPU loading is constant. The solution I found is to change the driver for your ACPI (XP = Control Panel, System, Device Manager, Hardware, Computer, ACPI). Select Properties and choose to 'Update Driver' 'Install from a specific location'. Choose the "dont search I will choose" option and select the standard ACPI option, NOT the 'dual' or 'multi processor' ACPI option. Reboot and SFP will work perfectly.
