43.45 drivers crap or what?

Ok, I had a problem with a card, lack of fps, choppy movement of the mouse in win.I bought a new psu, formated hd, installed win xp. I installed Microstars drivers 30.00, then I downloaded drivers from Mircostar 43.45 and the problem came again, i installed old drivers again and everything went fine. Are 43.45 drivers are for FX only or what, does anybody has problems with these new "cool drivers" which supports DX 9 or just me?
Thanks.

Just installed 43.45 and so far I don't see any decrease or increase of performance   on my card. None of those laggy games or jump cursor for me, though. Have you tried clocking your processor back down to 900 and try it again? I doubt it has anything to do with the problem but just give it a try.

    You would be better off posting in the iTunes for Windows forum area since your issue is with that rather than an iPod Nano.

  • BootCamp Update 3.2.  .exe file, Windows 7 uninstallable with cordless mouse until drivers in.   What next then?

    Trying to get windows 7 to run under iMac. I am learning to fly and the best flight simulator (I'm told) is still FSX which does not run on the iMac which I made my main computer infrastructure last year.  And besides it's got the best screen in the house.  Before buying both a virgin copy of Windows 7 (expensive) and of FSX (ditto) I checked the forums and there are definitely people saying it works.
    My iMac has a cordless mouse and a cordless keyboard.  I have read that the latest software which makes these work is in BootCamp3.2. 
    I quote from the apple pdf on installing windows:
    Step 1 : Check for updates.  In Mac OS X go to http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp and check whether you need to update your software before you can install windows. 
    Yes I do.  Can't call that URL very helpful on file selection, but OK, I worked it out.  (Though could someone tell me if ALL intervening updates need to be applied.  I had no way of telling where the full set of updates was, so I had to assume installing the latest would work.)
    OK - so I need to install BootCamp_3.2_64-bit.exe
    But having downloaded it, if I run it it opens in a text editor.  Why is that?  Explanation will help.  But why is there nothing at Apple on this?  It's apple software. 
    Searching I found people sounding equally confused, and someone says you'll need to burn it to a disc.  That took a fair while too - but I did it.  I found the help on burning very poor.  It's hard to find how to put a file on a disk.  The defaults are all for music and films. (Tip - use Finder, not other options, when you put a blank disk in)
    So I now have the bootcamp upgrade file on a DVD.  I learn (slowly) that because it is a .exe it must be run from Windows.  But I have not got windows, that is what I am trying to load.  And when I load the Windows Disc I can't get very far, because it can't cope with a cordless mouse, until the drivers are upgraded.
    I am now worried that things will get worse, because the rest of the forums say you can't make Boot Camp Assistant work when there's already a partition made.  And, there is.  I made one before being trapped by a driverless cordless mouse.
    I have an iMac 2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7.  8Gb 1333 MHz DDR3.  ATI Radeon HD 5750.  A cordless mouse and keyboard.  I Bought Windows 7 Home edition 64 bit.    
    I'm a bit disillusioned.  I bought this hyper computer to run some number crunching simulations via an Oracle database.  The setting up was 10 - 20 times more difficult than setting up Oracle on my Dell laptop.  The simulations ran half as fast as on the laptop and appeared to be frying the iMac's own hard drive.  So I stopped.  I flirted with Times Ten - but it was unsuited to my codebase (not Apple's fault) and then gave up.  So this lovely computer is now used by my daughter to watch movies.
    This is the second attempt at doing something moderately serious, and both have been very disappointing.  If you think it's worth saving someone who is about to give up on Apple completely and leave this powerhouse to an idle life of Facebook, then your assistance will be sincerely appreciated.  It's been 6 hours, a very irritating six hours, so far.

    You really really do need to read the Windows 7 FAQ the Boot Camp 3.0 Installation and Setup guide for 10.6  and the Boot Camp 3.0 MacOS 10.6 FAQ  a couple of times to really get to know the whole picture.
    "Boot Camp" is just a basic set of WINDOWS drivers to run Apple hardware. You install Window first, via BCAssistant to start it, then after it finish's the install and restarts into Windows then you insert the "whatever you made disk" with the Boot Camp drivers on it, it should then give you an installer window, just like on the Mac side, if you want to "Run" it or "Open as a file". (Run it)
    The Apple Software Updater updates ALL the Apple files including BootCamp Assistant on the Mac, it updates the Boot Camp Assistant to look for the latest drivers to use when it gives you the option to download the files onto whatever you want to use to download onto.
    BTAssistant to partition the drive, then it will boot off the Windows installer, there is no more Mac control, it's ALL Windows now, have Windows format it the way you want, then it will finish by restarting into Windows, then you install the drivers while booted in Windows.
    You need a wired mouse AND keyboard just like the instructions said. If you have the earlier Magic Mouse then they suggest you plug it into the keyboard instead of the computer.
    If you partitioned like the instructions said, via Boot Camp Assistant, you can install Windows anytime you want, it won't forget it's there. YOU just have to remember where it is.
    If you do have problems with the partition then at the bottom of the instructions it tells you how to restore the partition back to normal then you can start over.

  • Fresh install of WIN XP on X201: Strategy: Which Drivers? In what order?

    I am doing a fresh install of Windows XP SP3 (32 bits) from an Windows installation CD. As we know, after Windows CD completes the initial installation, a bunch of unknown devices shows up in Device  Manager. So I need to install drivers for them.  And  I only want to install nessesary drivers and as little of   additional ThinPad Software as possible.
    So I go to ThinkPad  Download Drivers & Software and there are WinXP drivers for my model (5143-28U). Some drivers are uniqe and are pretty obvoius to identify, for example, "Intel Chipset" or "Rapid Storage". But others are confusing, sometimes there 2 or even 3 similarly looking drivers. For example:
    (1)ThinkPad 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter II for Windows XP, 10.95 MB,  Ver:1.00.0029.8     released 14Sep2011.
    (2)Intel Wireless LAN (11abgn, abg, bg) 242.48 MB    Ver:14.02.0000    released 08Sep2011
    Which of the two to install? If both, then which is the first? ......????   ......??? Etc, etc, etc
    Or another example:
    (1) Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate Software II for Windows XP - ThinkPad.
    (2) Bluetooth Support File for Bluetooth 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate Software for Windows XP.
    Which of the two to install? If both, then which is the first? ......????   ......??? Etc, etc, etc
    By the way, after I have intalled one of  the two Bluetooth drivers, my  Windows craches during the startup up with BOD (Blue screen). What if anything should be done to properly install  Bluetooth drivers?
    Finally, is there a specific list  of drivers only  (and not just additional  Lenovo software and Tools) to get rid of unknown devices with yellow question marks in Device Manager?
    Thanks.

  • Unable to download printer drivers. Now what do I do?

    Due to a recent incident (my own stupidity) I had to reinstall my OS on a couple of computers. One is an older MacBook running Lion (10.7.5), the other is a newer iMac running Mavericks (10.9.4).
    On the older Lion unit, the printer settings indicate that drivers ARE available for my printers (an HP OfficeJet 8500 a909N and an HP OfficeJet 8500 a910N). But when I attempt to download them, I get back a message that the drivers AREN'T available.
    In the case of the newer, Mavericks unit, I was able to install the drivers for the a910N but the drivers for the a909N are reportedly unavailable. And of course, HP is no help as they don't make drivers available on their website.
    So, what do I do (other than purchase a new printer?)

    If the drivers aren't downloaded automatically for your printer, then download the most recent package of drivers for your printer make from Apple - support.apple.com/downloads. Or go to the maker's website, locate their driver download pages for a current driver.

  • I do not have the daq assistant vi on my labview 2010 and have found no drivers for it what should i do

    I do not have the daq assistant vi on my labview 2010 and have found no drivers for it. I downloaded the service pack but  that did not have it either what should i do.

    Hi Youzhang He, 
    Did you install LabVIEW first on your PXIe 8102 before the drivers?  Most likely, you're missing LabVIEW support for your DAQmx drivers. Fortunately, this is an easy fix. What you should do is open Add/Remove Programs, select National Instruments Software, select Uninstall/Repair. In the window that pops up listing NI software, select NI-DAQmx 9.x and select Modify. In the window that appears, expand Application Development Support and select to install LabVIEW support.  From here complete the install process and restart your system.  LabVIEW support should be installed and DAQ Assistant should appear in your palette.

  • Why does firefox not load my yahoo toolbar that I have personalized with my apps. I am so try of this crap! What is the problem?????

    When I load Firefox my Yahoo toolbar with all my links that I use does not load! I've been dealing with this for a long time! And as much as I hate Internet Explorer, you are forcing me to go back to it after 3 years with Firefox! Why dose your program have to be so uncooperative. If I can't access my program with ease, what good are you? I don't have this problem with IE. I have been using Firefox because it's so much faster than IE. But If I have to waste all this time trying to re-install Yahoo toolbar or type in Internet addresses, You really are no better, even worse!

    '''Ya I also have the same problem. its working on I Explorer but I don't want to be so slow. '''
    plzz suggest me a solution.
    thanks.

  • WHAT IS THIS AUTHORIZATION CRAP?, WHAT IS THIS AUTHORIZATION CRAP?

    I have one authorized computer. I am trying to go in on my kids laptop and the silly thing keeps telling me I need to authorize the computer to download anything.  I go to the help menu and it tells me to go to "Authorize This Computer" in the Store menu.  This menu item DOES NOT EXIST. What am I supposed to do???

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Altrenatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • Is my ipod a piece of crap or what? what is going on?

    i've been having so many problems with my ipod mini lately. the battery is malfunctioning (if you look at my other posts), and now i dont know whats wrong with it. i had it on a full charge and then went out and took it with me. i tried to turn it on during the ride home, and it wouldnt go on. i figured it was the battery again. so, when i got home, i plugged it in to the wall charger. it didnt do anything. it didnt even recognize that it was plugged in to anything. so then i tried hooking it up to my computer. once again, nothing happened. the computer didnt recognize that anything was connected, and the ipod didnt recognize that it was connected to anything. i'm kind of freaking out about it, so if you could kindly post if you have any idea whats going on, or how to solve the problem. thank you very much in advance

  • MPlayer, holy crap, and what just happend?

    I was reading through the threads about modern DVDs not playing for some people, as well as trying to check out on-line videos, and I found out that MPlayer and MPlayer-plugin doesn't behave well anymore with most things outside of the local hard drive. Nothing changed except software updates. Both MPlayer from the repos and MPlayer-svn are having the same problem. This is on both 32 and 64 bit.
    Does any video here work for anyone using MPlayer-plugin?
    http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/car/program.html
    Does any modern commercial DVD work for anyone? This is a more important to me. Usually I can dump the contents of DVDs on to the hard drive through MPlayer, but it can't even see the discs now.

    I've always found the Mplayer plugin to be hit and miss, but I probably don't use it as much as most people here. The PBS videos didn't work at first due to geographic restrictions. Then I used a proxy and the Mplayer plugin tried to play it but it stopped after 1 second. The videos might have some sort of DRM that even Mplayer can't crack yet. The plugin still works for some things though. For example there's this video: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/14970.html
    Encrypted DVDs still work perfectly for me (of course Mplayer doesn't render the menus it just goes straight to the content). This crap better not happen to me. Btw, if we can pinpoint when DVDs stopped working and when streaming video stopped working, maybe we can find a change made to the PKGBUILD at that time to diagnose the problem.
    EDIT: That gametrailers thingy seems to require that flash be installed even to play the quick time and wmv versions of it now. Anyway, I was able to play all the PBS videos, not with Mplayer but with MediaPlayerConnectivity! I discovered this in a really old post by Kern: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo … 446?id=446. It's amazing. Instead of embedding a substandard player in firefox, it just embeds a little panel that can be used to launch it in whatever media player you want with whatever arguments you want. It also says the "real" path to the file and gives a download link. The mplayer plugin was hit and miss but using this to call gmplayer works amazingly. It's also surprisingly fast given that I was behind a proxy.

  • When is gaikai coming to iOS devices cause I'm getting kind of ticked with the same fake lie, gaikai is soon coming to iOS devices crap. What kind of service is this if you can't get what you want when you apparently want it? Apple, do something!

    Apple devices always says for gaikai, "gaikai coming soon to iOS devices" but I have had this iPad for 2generations (updates) iOS 6 and 5 yet there is no change to the same excuse. I smell something fishy and I am getting irritated with the same excuse. Just give people the gaikai folks!
    It's easy as abc and 123. I do not want to erase my contents and sell this device for this cause. Please give the gaikai for the sake of sim lovers out there!

  • Drivers that work with 4 gig of

    Can Creative give any indication of when they will release a set of drivers that work properly on a system that can address 4 gig of ram please. As memory prices are currently so low there are a lot of users migrating to Vista 64 so they can use 4 gig of ram or more so I was wondering when Creativie will stop embarassing themselves with the current drivers that they have and actually address the 4 gig ram issue. I know a lot of users don't have a problem using 4 gig and a creative card but I also know an equal number do and I'm willing to bet the users that don't have very few pci or pci-e devices in their machines. From what I can tell if you have several pci or pci-e devices then the creative drivers crap out - probably because they are pushed beyond the 32bit address space. Please creative fix this URGENTLY - it's not like I'm the first person to complain about it and you can only deny it for so long, you really are embarassing yourselves by not addressing this issue!

    Ok I guess I should probably have included some details of the problems instead of just ranting. The problems I am seeing on my system are as follows.. - using the new drivers with 4gig in vista 64 just produces constant static (very loud and much like an untuned TV). Remove 2 gig and it works fine - or remove all other pci / pci-e cards and it works fine. 2 - using the previous drivers occassionally work. That is they will work most of the time but after rebooting the sound will occassionally vanish. The drivers will still be installed and the device listed as working correctly in device manager however there will be no sound. At this point you have to either remove 2gig of ram or resinstall the drivers to get sound working again. I am pretty sure that the problem is with either the creative drivers or the x-fi card itself because?I have?seen?plenty of?posts from other?users suffering with similar problems . For reference my motherboard is an Asus P5B Deluxe, I have an Nvidia 8800GTS card in my primary pci-e slot, a hauppauge nova t-500 tv card in one pci slot and the creative x-fi in another pci slot and am using?4gig of Geil DDR2 ultra ram with a core 2 duo 6600 processor. I have tried moving the x-fi card to a different pci-slot and this makes no difference, I have tried using a different brand tv-card in a different slot and this also makes no difference. It does appear to me that the drivers have major problems when pushed to use a certain part of system memory - hence the reason it works when there are no other expansion cards in the sytstem (or 2gig less addressable space and no need for any bios memory mapping to take place). I hope that better explains the problems. P.S. I realised when I made the post that there would more than likely be replies stating 'works for me' or 'I have no problem'. If it works for you with similar hardware configuration then great there is still hope that I can get my system working correctly.

  • Audigy 2 - what to expe

    As I use my pc mainly for gaming I guess Vista + DX0 will eventually be a necessary upgrade for me. I havent upgraded yet solely because of what Ive read here about creative / vista compatibility. I have an audigy 2. Is it fair to sum up my options like this: There is no official driver for my card since march, and people do not seem to recommend that one, however, I can extract from the newly released x-fi drivers. If I want eax support I have to pay for Alchemy Is eax dead, vista doesnt support it, will coming games abandon it then With no Eax or free support for my card, would it be wiser for me simply to use my onboard sound

    Looks like another person that believe what they read on the internet. As far as drivers go, yes you can use the X-Fi drivers and guess what, they actually work. Also looks like you haven't spent too much time reading this forum. As for drivers these,
    hhttp://forums.creative.com/showthread.php?t=2700
    came out yesterday. They are the X-Fi drivers only modded to install easily on Audigy's, no need for extracting and manually installing.
    As far as Alchemy goes same thing. You can pay for it if you want, or you could take the time to search this forum and you will find that it too has been modded,
    http://forums.creative.com/showthread.php?t=8972
    granted it isn't on the first page, but a search would have found it. And as far as EAX goes, it not being usable in Vista only applies to DS3D games, OpenAL games are unaffected.
    I don't know about you but for gaming I'll take the drivers and Alchemy over the crap that passes for onboard sound any day.

  • What RAM for o/cing 3500+ on K8N Neo2 Plat?

    Hi all,
    Ive been reading all the problems with o/cing these little beasts, and i hope to god i dont run into any of them!
    Im not using SATA or RAID so i guess thats a few problems out the way. My current RAM is really turd though, and its time to buy some new stuff. I want 1gb of something that is hopefully going to hit 250x10 with decent timings. Am i hoping for too much? Ive seen a few people with this setup though.
    Ive read the recent Anandtech 3200 memory roundup, and had made up my mind on getting the crucial ballistix stuff. Its the only RAM in the test that hit DDR500 and beyond on the A64 platform. (Supposedly on the K8N neo2 aswell) But after more digging it seems that this is infact a load of crap.
    What do i buy???????
    I dont want to shell out a load of cash on something that isnt going to perform. Im gutted that the crucial 3200 RAM isnt as good as i was lead to believe. It would have been great running DDR500 at those timings.
    Anyway, ill also need to get a better HSF. The thermalright slk948 looks good but my local place just got the XP-90's in. Cant seem to find a decent review of them anywhere either. Any recommendations???
    Any help would be great,
    Cheers

    I thought HT Frequency would affect memory throughput but apparently not. I'll try dropping it to 3x. Thanks.
    Memtest is good at finding finding errors in a standalone environment by writing a particular pattern to every location in memory then reading it back to make sure it hasn't changed. So it very good for finding marginal chips and validating that everything is properly hooked together. It also has the advantage of running standalone so you eliminate any XP/driver issues from the equation.
    Prime95 is an excellent CPU/memory exerciser because it checks the accuracy of an elaborate computational algorithm to make sure of the results. And since it is running under XP it also tests the entire configuration to some extent because drivers and hardware that are marginal will likely fail much faster under the constant load.
    What I call Prime95 Lotto is particularly cool. It is the search for the first 10,000,000 digit prime number. If you find it you get a large share of a $100K prize which is currently about $50K. It also runs in the background and utilizes the CPU 100% without affecting your other apps so you can still use your system while it is running.
    The Red Rocket Folding Team effort also makes a great background stress tester.

  • What's wrong with my 6600gt ?

    Hello all,
    Im having quite of a doubt or problem concerning my MSI NX6600GT-VTD128SP ... I acquired the card about a month ago and had been playing Age of empires 3 and Black & white 2 since then... and besides being able to enable 2.0 shaders, I have seen no performance increase over my old MSI Geforce3 Ti 500 , frame rates are quite low to tell you the truth. I thought it was a game issue rather than something wrong with my card/pc.
    So today I got a hold of Quake 4, and I started playing with very disappointing results. The game feels very choppy and slugish, and I am getting about 20-30fps in the game @ 1024x768 - 32bit (med quality - no AA - no AF) but its really too choppy... to make me feel worse about it, I found this:
    http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/quake_4_mainstream_performance/page8.asp
    These guys are saying that a 6600gt @ 1024x768 - 32bit set at med quality should give around 85fps on Quake 4...
    Im really starting to think that I should expect more from this card than what it is giving me right now (as I said before, quite the same as my gf3 card)... just for comparison purposes Black&White 2 gives me around 10-12fps and Aoe3 around 20fps.
    Any 6600gt user to help me out here? or at least tell me If this is what I should expect from my card...
    I have the latest forceware drivers installed, nforce drivers, fresh win install too (win xp mce 2005).
    I have also tried unplugging everything from the psu (except hd,mobo and vid card of course)...
    specs:
    AMD Athlon64 3200+
    MSI K8n Neo2 Platinum
    MSI NX6600GT-VTD128SP
    512mb s3+ ddr 400
    Seagate 120gb sata drive
    Soundblaster Live! 24-bit
    (I just bought this new pc, and as of now, am very dissapointed with it's performance, specially since I've seen very little improvement over my gf3 on the same rig)
