Title: No Engine#3 with Lynx ?
Post by: minzyman on August 28, 2011, 03:46:10 am
Hi Peter,

I just installed Windows 7 and my old activation code doesn't seem to work either. Why would this be and how can I resolve? I decided to upgrade (finally) from XP.

Also, I am using the P5Q-EM motherboard with 16 GB RAM and a Lynx AES16 card (for now). Is KS mode the only option for me with this card?

Please, help?

Hi Lee,

Peter will send you a new code when he gets up. Whenever you install a new OS, XX needs a new code. I've gotten quite a few.

As to KS. That's really your best sound option so if it works I wouldn't worry about anything else. But Peter will tell you more.

Hi Lee,

The email about the activation has been sent by now, so that will be allright.

Re the Lynx, I'm not sure ...
All I recall is some other way around ... that the AES16 is not able to work with KS (Engine#4). But maybe I'm wrong.

I also wonder whether you may be confusing yourself (or rather me) with a difference between XP and W7. I'm sure there is "something" with the Lynx to this respect, but I forgot.

So, what Devices can you select from in XXHighEnd ?
Notice that those prefixed with KS: are Kernel Streaming devices (#4) like in XP, the others (not available in XP) are WASAPI (#3) devices.

Let me know ...
Peter

Peter,

So regarding the above, I finally rolled back the Lynx driver to previous version (18c) and was able to get Engine #4 with KS options for the Lynx.

The problem now is with Memory Organization. I can only get tracks to play when using Mixed mode. When using Straight Continuous or even Mixed Continuous mode, I get that nasty window popup telling me "Necessary privileges have been set. Reboot to make them effective!

I cannot get this thing to go away under straight continuous. Have played with the SFS size and still nothing.

My machine has a Lynx AES16 and 16 GB of RAM, Mem buff set to 4096. Q1 to 30, 0,0,0,0.

I could also use another activation code, as I had to rebuild my Win 7 build yet again. The one you gave me the other day no longer works.

Thanks.

/Lee

Hi Lee, can you see here whether this helps : Mixed / Contiguous Memory (http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=1547.msg15678#msg15678) ?

See your email about the Activation !

Regards,
Peter

Ah yes, I think I disabled a few security settings, so do not see Local security Policy options in Administrative Tools.

Will have to play more.

And shut off your UAC ! (User Account Control). Slider to the bottom.

If my earlier link doesn't help, try switching on Diagnostic Policy/Service/System. Looks suspicious to have that off in this case.

Once that helped and it works, you can turn it off again.

There is no Local Security Policy in Windows 7 Home Premium, according to Microsoft help. Only in Ultimate. That perhaps is why I don't see it listed.

Maybe if I run secpol.msc, perhaps I can access something like Local Security Policy? Not sure.

I have Mixed mode working. But still cannot get straight continuous mem organization to allow me to play. Still getting permissions issues. SFS at 430, but I did play with it at 2. Still no go. UAC slider is all the way down.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks.

Home Premium ... Look here : Re: how to start MC and XC? (http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=1642.msg16621#msg16621)

In the mean time I will dig up that ntrights program for you and attach it in this post when I found it.

Ok. Rename to .exe

Peter,

I'll try this Ntrights.exe app, but Coen was using Win 7 32bit. I have 64bit running. Will this matter?

Success! Ntrights.exe worked great. All set now.

Here is the process: need to download ntrights.exe first.

"I used a little trick to enforce the lock pages privilege for the administrator role. I stumbled upon a tool that is part of the win2003 toolkit: ntrights.exe. With this tool placed in the windows\system32\ directory I ran it form the command prompt:> Ntrights +r SeLockMemoryPrivilege  -u Administrators (this command is case sensitive)."

Thanks.
