Are Creative Lab Webcams compatible to Dell Computers?

I have a Dell with XP Media Center. I just purchased a Logitech and I get that dreaded blue screen or error. I called Logitech 5 x's and they told me their webcams aren't compatible to Media Center. They recommended that I just return it.
The only thing is Creative Lab is the same company as Logitech and I was wondering if anyone knows of if it's going to have the same prob. If so does anyone know of a brand that is compatible to Dell?

Most USB wifi adapters require third-party drivers, and few of them have Mac drivers available. You're likely to be better off with a PC Card slot wifi adapter like one of the following:

These cards all use the same chipset as Apple's, and work transparently with Apple's own software.

  • Is CS4 compatible with Dell Computers and GeForce Go 7400 video cards?

    I have been told by this forum I needed to uninstall and re-install CS4 because Encore and the Media Encoder do not work even after the fixes and updates. I have two Dell computers with Nvidia video cards. Someone told me CS4 and Encore will not work with the GeForce Go 7400 and will not install correctly.  Is this true? Is there a site I can go to to see what cards are compatible?

  • When will creative labs become compatible with AAC fil

    I've been using itunes to upload music and I wanted to know when creativelabs will be compatible with the itune friendly AAC files.

    Time to rip this post apart.
    <<I'll hand it to you for persistence, although I don't know why you CONTINUALLY try to disrupt a tech forum for Creative with pro-Apple BS.>>
    Pro-Apple BS? How was pointing out that AAC is an open format pro-Apple? It's not. Don't make up things. All I did was point out that AAC is open and that it can be played on any OS, or any MPEG-4 compatible software or hardware.
    <<AAC is a proprietary format. It is, as you should know, based on the audio specification for MPG4, which came out over 6 years ago. Dolby Labs controls the licensing of this format, the codec and the chips to decode and encode it. The fees are substantially higher than those for WMA, and of course, than MP3.>>
    Stop getting your information from that post on Napster that I debunked MONTHS ago. I proved that wrong and you know very well that it's wrong. Anyway, Dolby does control the licensing for MPEG-4 AAC, yes. However, licensing fees are not anything like you or that Napster post said. I provided information back then, so you can go back and look for yourself, if you're still choosing to throw your money away on Napster. If licensing fees are so bad, then why are there so many freeware players that play AAC files? MPEG-4 AAC files! Why? Why can I download a FREE operating system (Linux), and use completely free software to rip and play AAC files? Exactly. iTunes is freeware you know. Why can I download it for free and rip and play AAC files? Surely Apple isn't going to front the bill for millions of people to use iTunes to just rip, organize, and play their music.
    <<AAC is not the logical successor to MP3. If only WMA or AAC are considered, then WMA is the clear winner in that race. >>
    How is WMA the clear winner? Besides the fact that WMA sounds noticably inferior at any bitrate.... Even HE-AAC mops the floor with WMA9 Pro at low bitrates. Anyway, how is WMA the clear winner? AAC compatible digital audio players control *90%* of the hard dri've market, 43% of the flash market, and a combined total of over *70%* of the entire market. Let's not forget that the number one online music store, which controls over 70% of the market, uses AAC as it's format of choice, and the next biggest online store behind very distant number 2 Napster is using AAC as well. Soon Napster will be launching a "music to go" rental service that targets ALL platforms. Can you guess the file format of choice? AAC
    <<In fact, WMA9 Pro is under consideration for the next generation "CD" compression. This, along with DVD-A and SACD. Note there is nothing from Dolby under consideration at all. >>
    hahahaha says who? Actually, since MPEG-4 is part of the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray specs, AAC is already part of the deal And, right now, SACD has the same market penetration that CD at the same point in it's lifetime. So SACD is well on it's way to becoming the "next CD". As it looks right now, SACD will become the CD format of "tomorrow", while the iTunes Music Store is handling the current "CD quality" music business just fine. As it stands though, honestly, it will be a combination of two things. SACDs for audiophiles, and iTunes-like downloads for everyone else.
    Also, Dolby only handles the licensing portion of AAC. AAC was developed by a number of companies, including Sony. Sony has a stake in SACD, blu-ray, and any optical disc technology that comes out. So I can guarantee you that they will not let AAC die, even if it kills their precious atrac3/atrac3plus format.
    And another thing to consider is that the recording industry wants a standard across all platforms for digtial music downloads. And considering 70% of the market is AAC compatible, and by the end of this year, a certain online music store will have passed over $b in total revenue, you can imagine which format will win.
    <<Even assuming the original poster meant he wants to load non-DRM ("Fairplay") tracks on his Creative player, it will not likely happen so long as Apple is intent on blocking 3rd parties from using purchased iTunes songs on any other player.>>
    What does iTunes purchased songs have to do with AAC files ripped from anyother source? Exactly. Using Apple is an excuse for companies to not support AAC. It's their loss though. If Creative would support AAC, they would have opened themselves up to the market of millions of people who do use iTunes and Real Player 0+ to rip their CDs.
    <<It is unlikely Creative will spend the license money for a purpose so limited as self-ripped AAC files when there are other free alternati'ves to somebody ripping their own CD's.>>
    How are AAC files limited? AAC files can be played and ripped on any platform. If you want to talk about limited, you have to look at WMA. It only works under one OS and only certain players can play it. And what free alternati'ves are there? MP3 licensing isn't free. WMA licensing isn't free. If you're selling a player for profit, you HAVE to pay for WMA and MP3 decoding capabilities.
    <<AAC is a good-sounding compressed format, but for mass acceptance it will always remain a niche unless Apple opens things up and Dolby lightens up on their expesi've licensing.>>
    Mass acceptance? AAC has already been accepted by the masses. Over 350 million songs sold in AAC, and 70% of the digital audio player market is AAC compatible. I think players that DON'T support AAC are currently in the niche market
    <<Something good like Oog Voorbis has a better chance of becoming the successor to MP3, I think, and even that remains a niche at this point. >>
    Ogg Vorbis will never replace MP3s. First off, the sound quality isn't as good as AAC. Secondly, Ogg Vorbis requires a processor with a FPU. FPU require more battery power, so battery life is affected significantly. And most importantly, there are no CONVENIENT Ogg Vorbis encoders. Not to mention Ogg Vorbis still has a lot of bugs that need worked out. They only recently worked out a bug that was causing significant high end distortion that greatly affected the sound quality of the files. Plus Ogg Vorbis has no DRM container.
    Also, transcoding a file degrades the sound quality significantly.

  • Which are the lab view compatible processors or microcontrollers

    Hello All
    I am an engineering student. And I am new to LabView
    I have a program which is compiled using LabView. I wanted to know which are the micro-controllers or processors that are compatable with labview. So that i can dump the program and start working on my project.
     

    Your question is not clear. What do you mean by "dump the progream and start working on my project"? Dump where? New Jersey?
    Are you asking what the system requirements are for running LabVIEW? If so, then you can find that here (which you would have easily found if you had tried a search). Or, are you asking what microcontroller you can program? The answer is none, unless you also have the LabVIEW Microprocessor SDK, which costs $12,000.
    Please provide more details or a better explanation of what you're looking for.

  • Are Creative Cloud apps like InDesignCC and PhotoshopCC compatible with same in CS6?

    Are Creative Cloud apps like InDesignCC and PhotoshopCC compatible with same in CS6?

    If you mean the resulting files - no, InDesign CC files will not open in CS6. You need to explicitly save them back to the CS6 format from ID CC with all the sideeffects like potentialyl screwed up formatting. PS is a different matter. As long as PSD files are saved with maximum compatibility they will open up in pretty much any version of PS.

  • Customer Care the Creative Labs way.

    Customer Care the Creative Labs way.The key phrases here are:we appreciate the opportunity to assist you. If you still require assistance, please reply to this email? To cut a long story short..I have a Creative Labs portable MP3 player (a Zen Sleek 20 Gb) which requires a new battery. The machine was bought new, has been well looked after and is otherwise in perfect working order. Although the machine is just 5 years old Creative say they no longer provide any after sales support for it and, although not in so many words, advise me that my only option is to replace it. Dear Marc,
    For this issue, I do apologize but please understand that we no longer have any spare parts for the player like the battery to be able to offer repair serivces.
    We have discontinued manufacturing parts for the player for more than 2
    years now and without parts, we cannot offer any type of repairs.
    If it were available, we would have offered you the repair service in
    the first place. What good would it be for us to decline you of repair
    options.
    Do what you think is right abd proper but like I said and as what my
    colleagues informed you previously, we no longer have any repair options
    for the Zen Sleek player.
    Regards,
    xxxxxxx
    Creative Customer Support Services, Creative Labs
    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly xxxxxxx.
    Creative designed (and sold) the machine with a built-in battery.
    Creative's engineer's and product designer's know that rechargeable
    batteries have a finite and rather short life-span. Much shorter than
    the life span of the Zen Sleek 20 Gb as a whole.
    I am not prepared to throw this machine away and buy a replacement when
    all it needs is a new battery.
    Unless Creative would like this entire correspondence to be posted on
    relevant consumer web sites, such as anythingbutipod.com I suggest you
    get back to me with an appropriate solution.
    kind regards,

    Thanks xxxxxxx,
    In the case of the player in question, I still believe the battery
    needs to be changed. THis is normal given the age of the player and the
    amount of use it has had.
    What are my solutions for achieving this?
    I have always believed that Creative is not the sort of company which
    lets its customers down when it comes to afer sales support.
    As I have said previously, the machine is in perfect condition and is
    only around 5 or 6 years old. It was a very high spec machine when I
    bought it and I have neither the money nor the inclination to change
    it.
    Could you please advise as to how I can replace the battery, and not
    refer me to any other parts of your web site.
    Thanks in advance,

    Thanks for your response xxxxxxx,
    What would you suggest? That I throw the machine away and buy a new one?
    This player is still functioning perfectly. It never skips, rarely freezes and is generally in excellent condition.
    All the interfaces, charge leads work perfectly. It deli'vers excellent sound quality.
    As a result of being charged a great number of times, the battery no longer holds as much charge as it did when new. The player's autonomy has decreased sharply as a result and, unless I am able to charge it every 2-3 hours or so, I cannot use it.
    The player is not that old, no more than 5 or 6 years.
    Surely there must be some solution for prolonging its useful life.
    I will leave it with you to make inquiries within the Creative Labs structures.

    Thanks for taking the time to respond Mike,
    This is an interesting take on the situation.
    I do not consider 5 years as an acceptable life span for a machine which cost close to 200 GBP, was made by a highly reputable manufacturer and has been well looked after. 0 perha
    ps.
    If this is the case, then at the moment of sale the customer should be advised of the limited life span.
    I have not the skills, the material, the time nor the inclanation to take the machine apart myself, even if a suitable new battery could be found.
    I agree with you that the cost of repair is likely to exceed the cost of replacement.
    I shall continue to use the machine for as long as I am able (despite its short autonomy) and will look to Creative's competitors when I eventually replace it.

  • Years ago I purchased a Creative Labs Inc. Travelsound i50 speaker for a 2nd generation shuffle.  I lost that shuffle, so I purchased the latest Shuffle, which obviously does not fit this speaker.  Is there another similar speaker device I can purchase?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,

  • Webcam Driver for Dell xps 1530 notebook

    How can i identify the type of webcam installed in my notebook. I'm looking for actual windows 7 drivers for the webcam. Unfortunately on the dell support-site?there is no information available.
    Thanks

    ,Marcello_t,
    The drivers you see in the Creative download site are for retail webcams, you won't find integrated webcam drivers there. These are usually provided by the notebook vendor. I am afraid you will need to contact the vendor for assistance on locating the driver.

  • Creative Labs or Logitech for Notebooks?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 notebook, so I'm comparing the Logitech Notebook Pro and the Creative Labs Live webcam. Does anyone have any information comparing these two or experience that they could forward along? Thanks.

    I have a similar problem. I bought a Vision M for Christmas from Buy.com. I didn't realize they did not handle the warranty work
    so I contacted Creative about month after the 90 day warranty was up. I sent in a request for assistance and got almost the exact same email that this person did about his daughter's battery. So, I emailed again. I got the EXACT same email from a person named "Lin". They must have so many problems with these things locking up and lack of firmware updates that they just hit a button and respond to people. THis is NOT customer service. I like the other person will try to find 250 people to influence, and not in a positi've way for Creative. Customer support should be more than just firing off form emails.

  • Transfering Audible files to Creative Labs Muvo

    How do I use iTunes (or my iMac in general) to transfer Audible files to my device. I have a Creative Labs Muvo MP3 player that plays Audible. Using Windows the Audible files transfer and play fine but I cannot get iTunes to recognize the device -- the iMac only mounts it as a mass storage device. When I manually copy the Audible file from the iMac to the Muvo, it transfers it as an .aa file and apparently the device needs it converted to a .asf file. MP3 files copy and play fine.

    Well, the folks at Apple beg to differ....
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93548.
    It specifically lists a whole set of Creative products, including the MuVo, that are compatible with iTunes.
    Though I am having the exact same problem, where I can't get it to recognize the device.
    I had the one I got from Audible, but never used, and wanted to set it up for my kid.
    Not sure if perhaps the Audible player was set up by default for PC use...not sure.
    Will look through the threads more.

  • Creative Labs - Drivers update?

    C When is Creative labs going to finally going to release a driver for Windows 7. The current driver was made available 3 months BEFORE 7 was released.
    I don't know about anyone else, but I had to uninstall my XtremeGamer card because I kept getting BSOD while playing GAMES!!!!
    Get on the ball people.

    I want new drivers written exclusi'vely for Windows 7, I'm tired of the old drivers for Vista that are only partial compatible with Windows 7.
    So far I have bought 2 headsets and soundcard for my Windows 7 system, I had to?RMA the headsets as the soundquality was horrible, and the soundcard issue is getting on my nerves, cant RMA the card but I?will go outside and smash it into thousands fragments and install a card from another manufacturer today. I have the Fatalty Pro card VS A brand new aluminium baseball bat.
    I used to be a hardcore Creative fan, ever since their first card came that could handle speech in PC games. But luckily we have alot of other soundcards today.
    I can recommend Razer headsets, they have very good soundquality, they are lightweight and doesnt break as easily as Creatives headsets. And Asus?soundcards, Xonar series is brutal?with great drivers. But this line will probably get edited because they dont want people to read that there are other brands that are better, and more reliable.
    It's my personal oppinion, it doesnt have to reflect what other gamers think.
    But if I was running a company like Creative I would make sure to have drivers for new OS the very same day they were released.
    Over and out
    Bye Creative, Hello Razer Headsets and Asus soundcards, no more bluescreens due to memoryleaks in Creatives drivers. Dont know how many times I've stresstested their drivers and they always fail on my system.

  • A Portrait of an Creative Labs as a Young

    Hi-o. I'm posting this thread to spark discussion and user-interaction (supposedly the purpose of this "support" forum)
    My first mp3 player was an Intel 28 meg pocketconcert from, oh, I guess it was the year 2000. Amazing player, never broke, never had a single problem. In fact, it still works today, but obviously it's pretty much useless to most shoppers without DRM support and whatnot.
    My second player was an Archos Jukebox Multimedia hard-dri've that came out long before the iPod and other music hard-dri'ves (I'm not sure if it predated the Nomad or not).
    Anyways, I'm telling you about those two because both of these products were better than the Creative Zen Touch.
    Oddly Enough, the Archos product was quite fragile and broke on me three times. The third time it broke, the screen cracked, but it still functions to this day (aside from a dead microphone and screen). Even with faults, the Creative Zen Touch cannot compare.
    Why is it that in 2005 the Zen Touch doesn't have have a microphone or a radio? The Archos player had a high quality mp3 microphone on it. They didn't even advertise that feature. In fact micropohnes seem to be standard issue on "uncreative" products. Go figure. The Intel mp3 player from 2000 could receive radio broadcasts while the Zen Touch can't be bothered.
    I cannot understand why for the life of me why it doesn't have any kind of sound effect features. I was expecting to be able to have fun adjusting the pitch and making echos and stuff on songs on the player. But nada, nothing. The Archos mp3 harddri've had more audio FX features than Creative. Creative better bring a baggie for their teeth when they go toe-to-toe with Archos.
    Anyways though, I don't really care about the Zen Touch. I don't really care about Yahoo Limited or Napster 2 Go either, because I barely use the thing as much more than a paperweight anyway. It does bother me reading this forum, however, to see how nasty the company has been in support of the Zen Touch. In my opinion, the company and it's support staff on this board have acted very unprofessionally and have given vague, nonsense answers to requests for information. If you haven't received any information on when firmware upgrades or whatever synonym you give to "patches" for your faulty product, then why don't you walk down the hallway to the Creative Laboratory and ask someone when it's coming? Take the initiati've; I know you can do it. *Thumbs up*
    Just the fact that this message board exists boggles the mind. I've seen many posts by employees from the company that, to paraphrase, say "Creative doesn't sponsor these forums, it's just for user-interaction"... And yet this board is linked from the "Support" section of Creative's website... Shouldn't it be linked from Creative's "Community" section instead... I can't help but feel that there is a constant "Holier-than-thou" attitude coming from Creative support staff and from posters who are "in the know" or who have a product other than the Zen Touch and are "inconvenienced" by repeated requests for information regarding the release date for the product's patch. I'm probably going to be a victim to these wonderful folk in subsequent posts in this thread if precedent holds true. As if it is a "privilege" for us to even have a this support forum to post at... Puh-leeze. Anyways I don't really want any response from support staff or anything in this thread, unless it is to apologize and write me a check for $300 for my inconvenience.
    All I want is to interact with some other Zen Touch owners who are sad, and make them glad.
    Hope you enjoyed my post.
    Sincerely,
    Martin Joseph

    Duffymj,
    The player was sold with the features it advertised. The fact is that you can add a microphone and a FM Radio to the Zen Touch by using the FM Wired Remote with it. This is a feature that we are building in on current players, but was only available as an option on the Zen Touch.
    My main objection with your post however is with your mischaracterization of the Forums and their Staff (myself included). At the top of these forums it is made very clear what they are intended to be (namely a place for Creative customers to discuss Creative products). Never have we said that these forums are not "sponsored by Creative" as that would be ridiculous given that we are Creative employees and the forums are on a Creative server. What we have said is that these forums are not for official support, mainly because we are not staffed in such a way to reasonably be able to do this (The team consists of 3 full time Moderators/Admins plus our supervisors). In the case where direct support is needed, we make sure that the person is directed toward support for their region (be that email or phone support).
    As far as "walk down the hallway to the Creative Laboratory and ask someone when it's coming" comment, that would be a little difficult as the "Laboratory" is located in Santa Clara, CA and Singapore (whereas we are located in different parts of the world, but not in the same building as the labs). Instead we send regular emails to those who work on updates and post about what we get in reply. Gi'ven the huge amount of initiati've I've seen taken by the Forum team in passing along information and getting information I doubt they will need your encouragement, but thank you.
    Gi'ven that Archos (the main company you used in comparison) does not offer an official discussion forum I guess I would say that it is a privilege to have an official forum for discussion (most of our competitors do not have a place like this). I certainly try not to have a holier-than-thou attitude and I don't know of any regular posters who come off that way to me (although your post seems to hit that note once or twice). Overall we have received very positi've feedback from customers about the forums because we let people have a place to get help from others, talk about products, and even on occasion, vent frustrations (in a producti've way).
    Gi'ven that this was your first post I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that your intentions are to be constructi've. Another tirade like this and you will find yourself banned, but I would much rather have constructi've discussion than have to ban a user. I am closing this thread however.

  • Creative Labs Customer Supp

    Or moreover, the lack thereof.
    First you come out with the Zen Vision player with documentation so sparse that sellers like Amazon.com are asking for additional user manuals to post [at least they were when I bought mine].
    Then for customer support you DON"T have an 800 number. Not good, especially considering how long AND how unresolved my contacts are with you.
    After my last lengthy call and suggestions that didn't work here I am still needing to call again to get something to work that hasn't in spite of many phone calls and plenty of expensi've long distance airtime [because you are so cheap as to not have an 800 number - not to mention it would be nice if I was given a real "FIX" - or better yet just never had the problem.
    Ironically on the day of my last call to you I needed to call Canon for support. THEY HAVE AN 800 NUMBER, AND HAD NO WAIT. HECK, BEST OF ALL THEY ARE SHIPPING ME A NEW UNIT TO SWAP OUT, EXPRESS PAID POSTAGE AT THEIR EXPENSE.
    Oh, and by the way, when I was calling you abvout my last (unresolved) problem I was having to ask what the screw that had fallen out was for. Better yet, on a player treted as gently as they come what the heck is a screw doing falling out??
    Count me as not ever buying another Creative Labs product. Too bad, I had liked my last one. But then again it worked!

    Cat... I believe my point is relevant.
    Which is instead of being distracted by a 'hail mary' frivolous law suit,
    Creative should focus their energy on creating a better product with better
    customer support.
    Improving customer support falls under the topic of Creative Labs Customer Support
    don't you think?
