Where are updated Vista Drivers?

Right now, I'm using the 2.8.003 drivers for my X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Pro soundcard on Windows Vista x32. It's driving me nuts when it takes forever for my system to shut down, but most especially, when Window's Explorer crashes whenever I try to go into Control Panel. Granted, I'm generally able to work around that issue (for the most part), but it's not right that I have to deal with it at all. I've been waiting for well over a year and a half for some drivers that work, and it's getting rediculous. Your customers deserve better treatment then this if you have any hope of them remaining? your customers.

Wasn't 2.8.005 supposed to fix the shutdown issue? Although I still have it with my X-Fi XtremeMusic.

Yes, it includes the fix but only for Win 7 as what Athros said. Not for Vista/XP.

    There are no good or bad drivers. Maybe you do something wrong.
    The fact is that all drivers listed on Toshiba support page are absolutely the same as in recovery image. So there is no difference and all of them can be used on every Vista version.

    Intel(R) Chipset Module
    Intel(R) Turbo Memory Driver(Intel iMSM Driver)
    nVidia Display Driver
    Realtek Audio Driver

  • Where are the Vista drivers for the WoW Wireless headset?

    I just got the World of Warcraft wireless headset - but the link in the quick start (http://www.soundblaster.com/WorldofW...irelessHeadset) does not direct me to a VALID Windows driver web site.
    It has two links - one for Windows (which explicitly states that it supports Vista), one for Mac. Both take me to the Mac driver package.
    When I use the "Software AutoUpdate" to find the right drivers, it tells me that "Windows Vista is currently not supported"
    How do I get the Vista (64bit) drivers for this thing?
    I want to use it, but if I can't get drivers - I'll have to return it.
    (to make things more annoying, the support page http://support.creative.com/contactus/ is 404)

    http://ccftp.creative.com/manualdn/D..._1_01_0001.exe
    Try that direct link.

    Well, I have this printer too, and I get the following response from the System Prefs Printers and Scanners when I select to add this printer:
    "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software."
    When you go to the Epson website for this particular printer it says:
    "The latest drivers for this product are available only via Apple's Software Update."
    And finally, when you go to Software Update it says: "No updates available"
    I second OMT8.
    Yes, the driver file at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398 allowed me to finally install my printer, but does Apple have _any idea_ how long it takes to download a 1.08GB file over a 1.5mbps DSL connection?
    Never mind how much of my pricey new SSD is being consumed by the resulting 1.80GB of driver files all for _one_ printer driver that should maybe occupy 200K?
    Or that the primary article on OS X printer drivers (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669) -- which does indicate that the Artisan 830 is supported -- does not mention or link to the driver file that's needed to make it work?
    Or what a complete violation of Apple's "it just works" gestalt it is to be confronted with the above Catch-22 and to have to search the web and then go through all of the above to make a new laptop talk to a two-year-old printer?
    Yes, my printer now works, and yes, Apple's Support Communities were instrumental in getting to this point. But spending all morning (plus download time) getting a printer driver installed tastes way too much like I paid for Apple and got Microsquish.

  • Where are the HP drivers?

    Hi,
    Apple itself mentiones HP drivers for e.g. the HP DeskJet 6127, they say Version 3.3.1, besides the Gutenprint 5.1.3 drivers. (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306684)
    Where are these HP drivers? I cannot find them, even after installation of all drivers from the Leopard DVD.
    Matthew

    Hi Matthew
    Yes, I know... and?
    Thanks for your reply but if I try to install my printer (you guessed: a HP DeskJet 6127 , only the Gutenprint drivers are offered. And even if I select one of the *.plugins or *.drivers, nothing happens...
    Ugly graphics and no duplex printing - far behind the printing capabilities I had under Tiger...
    Where is the improvement?
    - Matthew

  • WHERE ARE UPDATES FOR SONY TABLET P

    Where are updates to apps for Sony Tab P

    Hi Jack,
    The applications on the tablet will be updated only if the operating system is updated, but currently there is no roadmap to update the Tablet P to ICS at this moment. We apologize for this. We will announce any new updates within the Announcement category.

  • Where are the bootcamp drivers?

    Hi... My Bootcamp assistant keeps failing to save the WindowsSupport files to my USB flash drive, which seemingly resets the download - due to my sloooow internet, this is a major inconvenience.
    I've been searching my computer for "WindowsSupport" "Bootcamp" etc., but find nothing.
    Where are they stored?

    They are stored on Apple servers, in the cloud, and this has always been weak - poorly supported - crippled - to name just a few adjectives.
    And it was first beta tested / introduced / suppose to be implemented - a full year ago in 10.6.6.
    My iPod finds, actually finds, new updates for its apps. So it is a lack of intention and direction and mandate.
    I assume you can't get to a store or other location that might be better able.
    People are saying Boot Camp 4.01+ are better than Snow Leopard 3.x drivers but those do work for Windows 7 if you have access to DVD AND you don't have a Mac that came out in 2011. I wouldn't mind $9 but $30 for a set of drivers might be steep, to get 10.6.x DVD.

  • Where are the print drivers found?

    I have a Brother HL 2040 laser printer. THe Brother website has a version 2.2 driver for this printer. I downloaded and installed. When I add the printer I keep getting version 1.4 driver.
    Can someone tell me where are the drivers found on my iMac?
    Also I am trying to get this to print via a Linksys wireless print server. Do I use the ip address for the print server or the printer when adding this.
    I tried using the print server IP but I get a "printer paused" issue. I think I need the new print driver.
    thanks in advance for any help.

    I have not gotten the driver to update to the newest version. I deleted the Brother Folders as mentioned in the replies, no joy. No matter what I do it ends up 1.4 not 2.0.
    Version 1.4 worked OK for a USB connection, so I went forward with trying to get the network connection going. By trying every combination available I got it to work.
    What HP jetdesk-socket has to do with my printer...escapes me. But that combination with version 1.4 driver works.
    I will leave well enough alone.
    I have 2 other computer to update to SL.....maybe.

  • [SOLVED]Where are the sata drivers?

    Hi people,
    I just bought a brandnew msi 770-C45 mainboard and want to install XP Pro.
    Now I know that you have to make a floppy with the sata drivers, but where are they? With every sata driver I tried XP only see 131Gb instead of the 320Gb.
    When I try a customized XP CD with integrated SATA drivers it work perfectly.
    Unfortunately after research I was not able to extract the sata drivers from the CD.
    Only I don't want customized XP, but the original XP.
    I also tried to search on the chipset, but no succeed.
    Normally they are on the CD. I tried every SATA/RAID folder and copy it to a floppy (per folder separatedly ofcourse  ) I tried the following folders:
    H:\ChipSet\AMD\XP\SBDrv\SATA (most likely, but strange that they talk about putting a sata card into the system)
    H:\RAID\Silicon_Image (tried all the three folders: SIL3114, SIL3132 and 3531)
    If you know where I can find the right drivers for a clean XP Pro 32bit install or which files to use, would be great!
    Thanks in advance :-)

    OK, thanks for the answers guys! :-)
    First post of Svet didn´t had the sentence ¨Use XP installation disk with SP2 or SP3 included/integrated¨.
    That was why I asked further. The normal XP here with me doesn´t has any SP onboard.
    I will slipstream the XP Pro with SP2 and try it.
    Again thanks!
    EDIT: Works like a charm  :D XP is installing on my sata, thanks dudes  , you

  • Where are the Windows Drivers?

    Hi,
    When I run Bootcamp 2.0 And try to partition the drive for Vista bootcamps says..."After you have installed and set up windows, insert your Mac OS X Leopard install disc to install additional drivers and other software for windows."
    So I went looking on my install discs. I cant figure out where these Windows drivers are. Anyone know?

    You can also find the drivers in the boot camp download page. Depending on your flavor of Windows (32bit or 64bit), you'll download different updates for Boot Camp 2.1.
    Go here - http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    On the upper right corner of the screen you will see the Software Updates section. Click on the appropriate link to download the file you need. The files that you download are Windows executables and should only be downloaded in Windows. They can also be run directly from the website, but clicking the Run button (instead of Save) after you click the appropriate download link.
    Hope that helps!

  • WTF!?!?!??!?!??! Where are the Audigy drivers?? ETA?? Anythin

    Funny how Logitech supports any mouse that they have ever released with frequent software updates to boot.
    Funny how my Audigy works perfectly in Ubuntu no thanks to Creative.
    Funny how x-fi drivers seem to be getting released at a lot faster pace than Audigy ones.
    And please any fanboys do not try to give me the "Vista sound architecture is so complex" crap, im sure a multi million dollar company is able to hire some competent programmers to be able to figure it out.

    Here's my impression after talking to the guy who directed me to this forum, reading this forum, and hearing the gripes of a few other users....
    Creative will continue to drag you guys along about some 'alleged' support promises until they are able to completely liquidate the inventory they are pushing on their ebay store. Once they have gotten rid of that excessi've inventory - they will quietly end of life the audigy series...then you will not even be able to?pay to get?support. They may try to milk it with the alchemy software, but I think they're realizing the only way folks are going to be?obtaining what they feel like they should not have to pay for - is to steal it...so they won't make much money off the majority of audigy owners there. Sucks, cuz they at least made an (half-assed) attempt at something
    It wasn't until folks complained to ebay?that?Creative even bothered to take the vista certified logos off their ads on the ebay store.....surely decepti've to say the least. They are still trying to get 00 bucks for refurbed audigys!!!!
    My advice, pawn those things off to someone you don't know or like, and run like hell from Creative's (lack of) support. Think of all the things you could do with the extra time you won't have to spend reading forums or screwing with non-working software!!!!!
    Oh about the Ubuntu drivers....wouldn't it be great if creative would?allow?the incredibly?talented programmers out there?an opportunity to write some fully supported open-source drivers/software? Funny thing is, if they hadn't been so adamant about refusing to open up EAX for everyone - it may have seen some support in Vista.....Creative pulled a Sony and shot themselves in the foot big time.

  • Where are the Mac Drivers for Windows 7 installation?

    Where can i find the mac drivers for the windows 7 installation?

    If you have a Mac with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, they are available as a download. You can download them from Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) or from the Apple site.
    If you have a Mac with Leopard or Snow Leopard, they are included in the Mac OS X disc that came with your Mac or in the Snow Leopard DVD. However, as you are going to run Windows 7, you can find more recent drivers in the Apple site as Boot Camp Support Software, depending on the Windows editions your Mac supports > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5634

  • Where are the bootcamp drivers for an early 2007 imac? (Upgraded to leopard

    The discs are Tiger discs, and when inserted into the mac (running xp), are shown to not contain the bootcamp drivers. Where can I download the drivers for this computer?

    Is this link what you need? The drivers will be on your Leopard disks. I think your post states that you upgraded to Leopard.

  • Where are update packets kept?

    I checked install and keep packets. Thinking that would keep the updates in the download folder. I want to use them to update the other mac. I can't seem to find them. Am I correct in thinking that I can use the packets from the updates on another machine or do I need to just download the updates and not auto install?

    If you don't know how something works, it only confuses the issue if you post about it.
    Clearly the position that updates end up scattered in what would appear to end users to be mysterious locations throughout the hard drive is understandable. In comparison, the old way where retained packages always ended up in the standard location of the "/Library/Packages" folder is quite logical. The poster is not confused about anything, if anything, you are confused by bringing receipts into it.
    The packages under 10.5 are downloaded, moved and expanded into various user specific directories outside of the user's home folders (I have not looked into what happens with FileVault users so this may be different for them). Ultimately, the updates end up in the directory corresponding to the value of the user's 'TMPDIR' environment variable. For example, try opening "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and entering this case-sensitive command:<pre>
    open $TMPDIR</pre>
    This command opens the user's temporary folder, which is normally invisible. Since '$TMPDIR' is different for every user, depending on which user performed the update, the updates end up in a different folder. Invisible, user-specific temporary folders - "mysterious locations throughout the hard drive" seems an apt description. But don't be surprised if the updates aren't there.
    To top it all off, the temporary folders are cleared out during a reboot, so "Install and Keep Package" only keeps it until the computer is rebooted (if the update is shuffled off somewhere else again at this point, I haven't been able to find it). So to keep your update, you have to go digging into your '$TMPDIR' (assuming the non-technical user knows to look for it) and retrieve the update before the reboot (which the update itself might require).
    What genius indeed did come up with and approve this seemingly arbitrary and unnecessary downgrade in usability? Manually downloading updates would indeed be a workaround for the inelegance. So far from being confused, the post by "rythm connection" could be described as insightful.

  • Are updated USB drivers available for download?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    No, you do not need a driver if your operating system is Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7. The drivers that are needed to connect most Sony® cameras to a computer are already built into the operating system on your computer.
    IMPORTANT:
    Some cameras do not support a USB connection to computers running Windows 7 or Windows Vista operating systems.
    If you are having problems with Picture Motion Browser (PMB) or have lost your disk, no problem. You can now download and install the full version of PlayMemories Home (this replaces PMB) at http://www.sony.net/pm.
    USB compatibility with Windows Starter Edition is not supported.
    In some rare cases, the USB connection from the camera may not be recognized by the computer.
