Outpost Memory Conflict

7 January

Posted by jack

Hi.. Everybody..

I am New to this forum.. I am Outpost 4.0.1007..

The problem is
When I surfing Net in Mozilla or Opera while playing music in my Creative 5.1 Mediasource, I sound gets fluctuated.. particularly when the page is loading.. But when i disable the outpost FW, music plays perfectly.. Before I used Zonealarm Pro, I didn't found any conflict..

I came know the power of Outpost FW.. Its very excellent.. excellent rules creation ands etc.. I well satisfied with all aspects, except this sound conflict.. It irritates me..

My PC Configuration:

Windows Xp Sp2
AMD 64-bit Athlon Processor,
ASUS K8V-MS Motherboard,
512mb Ram,
n-Vidia FX-5500
Creative 5.1 Sound Blaster with 24-bit sound blaster card,

NOD32..
Ad-adware Pro
Spy Sweeper - But real protection is Disabled.. Just used only for scanning purpose..

If any further information is needed, I will provide.. All I need is, this amazing firewall wants to work perfectly without any memory conflict...

Pls, Help this novice..

I use the add blocker built in to my Maxthon (http://www.maxthon.com/)browser.

I'm not aware that having too many sites causes such a problem. You might post a new thread in the plugins section and see what others have to say about it.

Thanks for your responses sir..

I attached a detailed information of task manager running process from Security Task Manager.. Please kindly refer it and tell me whether the problem is..?

When i browse in net,
explorer.exe attains nearly 38~45mb sometimes
One of svchost.exe attains 30mb
firefox or opera attains 45 mb,
outpost attains 24~35mb,
CTSysvol.exe attains 12mb

In Normal Case,
explorer.exe attains 28mb
One of svchost.exe attains 20~24mb
Opera attains 6mb
outpost attains 6~9mb
CTSysvol.exe attains 3mb

I dont know where the wrong is...? explorer.exe capture very high memory.. When I freshly installed windowsxp, it captures only 16mb.. Whats wrong with my system..?

In the Op viewer, I found nothing... All normal... Its k.. I will take a deep analysis and if cant able to find a solution, i'll contact u...

Thank you for your kind responds sir...

I am going to freshly install my os.. thats the idea now i have..

That's an interesting application but unfortunately the amount of memory used by running processes is not as relevant as the CPU cycles I enquired about. You can see it in your attachment for OP under CPU. XP is manages memory pretty well and is typically not of concern.

The CPU cycles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_cycle) - a measure of the necessary time needed by a CPU to perform a certain task - is more indicative if your machine can perform the tasks it is required to do in a timely basis.

If you could look at your CPU cycles when you are having sound problems that would be useful in moving forward.

Anything in the OP log viewer when the sound is not performiing?

That seems a little drastic but a fresh install will very likely fix the problem.

Good luck with it.

Welcome to the forum.

It may be that your machine is being over taxed by all the software running simultaneously. Can you go look in Task Manager and see what is eating up the CPU cycles please when the sound is doing poorly?

At the same time please see if Creative 5.1 Mediasource has any activity in any of the Outpost logs when your music is not playing well. Look through all the logs available in the log viewer.

Hi.. I found the problem.. It was with the Ads Plugins:( .. I added extra 25000 ads to be blocked which I get from Outpost forums.. It makes the sound conflicts(fluctuations) with the creative player(5.1 speakers), when I surf web pages..

Sir.. Do you know any ad blocker to replace this..? or any way to eliminate this..?
