Audigy 2 ZS Vista Driver not install

Every time I try to install the Vista 32 bit drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS I get this message telling me that its missing layout.bin and that I need to insert disk one. This is driving me nuts and the lack of tech support help is not helping, how do I fix this?!?

I finally found a workaround for this.
For some strange reason the driver files are being deleted before they get installed.
In order to successfully install the driver perform the following:
. Run the driver file and click next until you reach the language selection screen.
Be sure NOT to go past this point.
2. Goto "X:\Windows\Temp\CRF00Y\" and copy all the files in there to a folder on your desktop. (Where "X" is the dri've you installed windows on and "Y" is the last visibile number, for me it was CRF006)
3. Run through setup until you reach the "Cannot find file layout.bin" error and then cancel it.
4. Goto the new folder you created on your desktop and run setup from there.
5. Enjoy partially working sound
Also found this on the install shield Website.

PS. Although I have the driver installed, here's a small sample of the quality of Audio I'm receiving. http://www.zyned.com/upload/Recording.wma
This was recorded using Sound Recorder in Windows Vista, via "What U Hear" mode with the volume set at 20% to rule out distortion caused by channel overload. At least the name of the recorder was right, it was exactly what I was hearing.
If you want the original it can be downloaded from the Machinae Supremacy website free. It's called Anthem Apocalyptica.Message Edited by Redwing on 04-8-200706:50 PM

TCP / IP Protocol Driver - not installed (using Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Service Pack 1

I am using a ThinkPad T520 laptop. Lenovo Solutions Center keeps referring me (with a yellow exclamation mark) to the Device Manager and alerting me to a "non-critical" error. The message is "TCP / IP Protocol Driver - not installed".
I have found numerous pieces of advice for Windows XP and Vista - but very little for Windows 7. I have however tried the Microsoft "Fix it" solution and it had no effect.
I am still able to connect to the internet via Ethernet cable and wifi. It is however worrying that the warning keeps being raised.
Does anyone know how I can fix it?

Hi Tripplec.
Thanks for the reply. I am away from home at present without my ThinkPad, so will try it at the weekend. I am an experienced computer user but this is a brand new machine and I have never had a laptop that produced error messages without providing any suggested fixes. It seems that Lenovo is not suitable for ordinary home users, but only for computer engineers. Sadly that is not me... so before I plunge in, can I just check some details?
1. You suggest removing the offending network adapters in device manager. Which are the offending adapters that cause a TCP/IP protocol driver error? I am nervous of removing the wrong things and making it worse!
2. You also suggest that I go to Network Connections via Control panel, properties of adapter, Install and select the desired Protocol(s) and install them. Is that an alternative fix to 1 above - or an essential follow-on after removing the offending adapters? (Last week I searched the machine and the Lenovo support page of drivers - and never found a TCP/IP protocol driver. If you know where one can be found, I would prefer to instal a new driver, rather than delete other devices and hope that the machine reinstalls them later!).
Much obliged for your assistance.

Hp Officejet Pro 8600 on Windows 8.1 driver not installed

Using Windows 8.1 and HP Officejet pro 8600. The printer is installed on a wireless network. But on Device Manager, it says "driver not installed". Most printing tasks are successful, but for some I need to have the driver installed on the computer. I have tried troubleshooting, but am unsuccessful. I would appreciate help. Thanks

Hi emax,
Print a configuration page to get the printer's IP address. Printing a Network Configuration Page.
If you have a valid IP address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
Power cycle the router, computer and printer.
Try printing again.
If the issue persists, add a new device if the IP address is valid.
Right-click the Start button () or the lower left corner of the screen, and then click Search.
In the Search box, type HP, and then click the icon for your printer. The printer software opens.
Click Utilities, and then click Printer Setup & Software Selection.
Click Connect a new printer.
Test the printer over the wireless network.
Please provide the following information so I can assist you better.
What is the printer's first 3 sets of numbers for the IPV4 address?
Could you access the printer's EWS?
Were you able to add a new device?
Thank You.

How to deal with the "driver not installed" message?

My issue, and it seems many others here have it too, is how to install a printer driver in the face of the "driver not installed" message.
In my case, it's an HP4160 Rendevous printer. I've deleted the com.apple.print files in the Library, reinstalled the software, made sure that BDC package, or whatever it's called is installed, even downloaded and run the printer fix software from Fixamac.
Nothing works.
I have the feeling this isn't a printer or driver-specific issue, but is an OS problem. Does anyone have a suggestion?

It appears the Deskjet 4160 will not work with an Airport. Connected via USB, the driver installs normally and the the printer appears to run just fine, although I haven't done much with it yet.
It simply will not work on a wireless network through an Airport. Frustrating, but workable by bringing the laptop to the printer.

Problems adding USB printer - "Driver not installed" - but it is

Apparently, 10.3.9 has some problems with USB printers. For the record, I had already installed this earlier prior to the upgrade and everything worked fine - but due to crashing due to a faulty power supply - I've had to re-configure everything.
I, and many others in this forum, have found a strange problem when trying to add a printer (And yes, other people have asked about this but I haven't seen any answers at all that are useful. The only possible solution seems to be "upgrade to 10.4" and that is unacceptable. Does Apple check these forums?).
After clicking "add printer" in the utility, the software finds the correct printer (so obviously the physical connection to the printer is OK) and displays it with a question mark over it's icon and "driver not installed" next to it. I can't select this image or text.
After searching for a couple of minutes, a dialogue box pops up saying "New drivers detected. Do you want to reload the browser?" (I assume the printer setup utility is the "browser"?).
I click yes and nothing happens. No PPDs show up in the list. This happens when I select USB as well as Apple Talk from the printer-type pull-down menu.
How can I start printing again?
iMac G5 17" Mac OS X (10.3.9)

First, welcome to the discussions.
For the record, Apple does not normally respond to these Forums.
You mention (Due to Crashing) Whenever you have an issue with your machine it can disrupt in almost any area, and is normally caused by SOMETHING.
As of right now it would appear you might be chasing your tail.
When you choose to upgrade your Operating System there is No Guarantee that your Printer and it's drivers will work on another completely different Operating System.
Your best bet at this point is to drag all of your printer related folders to the trash, empty your trash, and plug your USB Printer (What KIND) into your machine directly.
Shut your machine clear OFF for a minute or so and do the same to your printer, pull the power adapter from it.
Now plug in your printers Power Adapter, Plug in the USB to your Printer to your computer and restart it.
Take the Disc that came with your printer and re insert it and download the Installation Folder and any utility folder that may come with it.
After you have done this don't try to print, Go directly to your Printer Manufactures Web site and search for the latest updates to your printer and the Operating System you are using.
These will more often than not download to your desktop.
You must drag these to the setup folder and or the utilities folder and then double click them to launch them. after you have completed this your printer should work.
One other thing, If you have Classic and or OS9 on your machine you might have to do the same for OS9 Applications , and Utilities for it to print in Classic. Don

PSE Backup wouldn't work: "CD device driver not installed; install PSE" didn't fix problem; Win7

I'm trying to backup by photos for the first time! in Photoshop 5.0 on a Windows 7 system. I get to "Full Backup" option, and get a pop-up that says "CD device driver not installed; reinstall PSE". I put my PSE disk into my computer, select "Repair... installs... missing files"; PSE re-installs, but I get the same message again when I try to backup. How do I find a CD device driver? (My DVD is formatted, but PSE can't find it.)

I just found a photoshop elements 5.0.2 update "patcher" and installed it. The install was successful but I still got the same message saying "CD device driver not installed". Might there be a problem since I'm now on Windows 7 and no longer on XP? I have no need to buy a newer version since Elements 5.0 does everything I need to do. Any other suggestions?

What makes you think that. OpenAL works just fine on Audigy cards. Playing BF2 in vista sounds just the same as in XP on my A4.

Audigy 1 gets Vista driver -Why not SBLive? Very simil

Here's what I can't understand. Creative can do the combined Audigy Value, etc, etc for Windows Vista but leaved the HUGE install base of SBLi've users with either Microsoft's sort of working 2 channel solution, a driver only install of the Li've Uni-Pack driver which sort of works for 2 channel, or the 3rd party kXProject 3538l beta nearly?fully functional?multi channel?solution. But the Audigy is so similar to the SBLi've that the official releases for the longest time have been a unified solution for both Audigy and SBLi've. I don't get this. Why the Audigy but not the SBLi've? Lot's more users have the SBLi've. Nearly everybody bought that at the time of its heyday even if some chose to use a competitor ultimately (Santa Cruz, etc). If they think that?by not supporting the SBLi've they're going to get more X-Fi buyers they are likely mistaken. Too much negati've feedback regarding bugs on too many motherboards using the X-Fi. People will generally use the on-board audio or invest in a competitor. Creative could at least keep their existing SBLi've base in the fold by including Vista drivers in the mix. Again, why the Audigy and not the SBLi've? Doesn't make sense to me.

Can't blame anyone for not wanting to touch this one with a ten foot pole.
Anyhow, caved in and took the route of most resistance. Installed Windows7, the card works now. Seems the drivers for XP are just defunct.

Audigy 2 ZS Notebook Synthesizer not instal

I've just installed the SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Notebook soundsard, into my Fujitsu AMILO PRO V3525 notebook with Windows Vista Home Premium. It caused a little problem to me, with the WiFi network card and modem driver, but I've fixed it.
I have just figured out, that the Synthesizer is not installed properly, and any time I want to install it, the device manager crash, or it say somthing that the extension atribute not maches. I can't even remove the driver, 'cause windows device manager imediatly crashes.
I have already tried to update, but it had no affect on Synthesizer.
I had installed a deviced called unsupported game port driver from Microsoft, wich made it possible, to uninstall the driver. (I think it was not pernament.) What should I do, how can it be fixed

SoundBlaster Audigy 2ZS VE Vista Driv

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2ZS Video Editor and am running vista business, i have installed the latest creative Drivers and have been waiting for months for creative to release PROPER WORKING FULLY FUNCTIONAL VISTA DRIVERS,? so that this product can work as its meant to work. I have been advised that drivers are being worked on and that they should be released soon. Its been 6-8 months and still no drivers that can deli'ver the functionality i expect in a $600 sound card, when i purhcased this product, there was a vista logo located with this product descrition saying it is supported and is vista ready, quite clearly it is not. I need accurate information on the following questions:?. Is there a creative team in fact working on a fully functional vista driver for this product.2. When will this vista driver be released?3. Will this driver deli'ver a fully functional product?Do not reply to this with some crappy template response as this will infuriate me, please reply with logic as i am a paying customer and have been for many years, i expect respect and i expect the truth from creative on this occassion. Please advise and escalate this matter to the MANAGING DIRECTOR OF CREATIVE, if you cannot then provide me with the correct contact details and i will do it myself.

Vespa,
We do not have plans to support Vista for Video Editor.
However, if you check the discussion on the Forum (primarily in the Video area) you will see that the audio portion can work due to the Vista support for the Audigy 2 ZS line and for the video portion, check the info on how to make it work. It works with Vista 32bit.

Vista itunes not installed correctly. Error 7. Windows error 998. Itunes helper not installed correctly. Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Insufficient privileges.

OK, spent about 25 frustrating hours so far this weekend doing everything recommended on numerous threads here -- uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and all Apple items. Help?
I am using Windows Vista home premium. After the last iTunes update to 12, it suddenly would not work. I followed, to a T, all instructions to uninstall all Apples software, in the correct order, reboot, download the latest iTunes, run as administrator, plug in the iPhone 5S, let the driver install, and then finish.
Along the way, I received the error that "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I am the administrator and have privileges. (I previously followed instructions from anther thread to change the read-only privileges for Apple folders, but to no avail. I also deleted every file with the word Apple in it after I uninstalled everything.) I did a retry and then an ignore during installation of the AMD error, which I have received 10 times.
The other error I keep getting is: "iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7." I have done that 20 times.
Other frequent error: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 998)."
I followed other threads suggestions to install Windows .NET versions 3.5 and 4.0. No help. I also looked for various specific Apple files in various folders for DLLs, etc. Not present. I have rebooted 50 times and tried different users on my home account as well. Nothing.
I also followed instructions to Manage my computer under "services." Under Apple Mobile Device, the setting is for "automatic." When I try to get it to "start," the error I receive is "Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." (I followed previous thread instructions to use the CMD prompt to stop it. That caused problems because the status was then "stopped," but I was able to restart it later once I figured that out -- but with the 1053 error again.)
I think I've tried every suggestion in every thread for the four errors I keep getting (AMD failed to start; iTunesHelper Error 7; Windows error 998; and AMD Error 1053.) I am fresh out of ideas and very frustrated. I mostly want to make sure I don't lose my music and photos, which I was about to sync.
The only other thing I see that is strange on my computer (which I discovered along the way) is that I cannot receive automatic windows updates and have not had an update since 2012. My iTunes worked a month ago, so that was obviously not a show-stopper in the past, but perhaps there is a Vista update I need for iTunes 12? I have service pack 2 for Vista. I have followed all threads to try to set my windows to automatic update, but no joy there either. It checks for updates and then fails. I followed instructions and did run an installation to install windows automatic updates, but that doesn't work either. I tried 10 times. It runs and takes a while, but is never able to successfully update windows. It says "checking for updates" for a while. Then it dies. My last update was 6/19/12 (failed) and it says the most recent check was 6/22/12, but I have tried 20 times on 10/31/14 and 11/1/14.
When asked to "Install new Windows Update software" to check for updates, I have done so 10 times. It downloads and installs, but never works.
It's an old Dell desktop computer from 2006, and I'm using an iPhone 5S. I am fresh out of ideas. Anyone really smart here?
Thanks.

Upon latest reboot, I also received this error message: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click OK to terminate the application."
Then I got the iTunesHelper not installed correctly error again.
Then the "Windows can't check for updates" error message.
Then "Apple Push has stopped working." Then a quick DEP error message that disappeared but said something about Apple Push being closed.
I'm also getting denials of service logged by McAffee. Not sure if I'm getting a virus/attack or not.
Not sure if it's a problem with my old desktop machine, my Windows Vista updates, or iTunes, but I'm very frustrated and out of ideas to try.
Thank you for your help!

Ipod 5th Generation 80 GB / Device Manager / Driver not Installed / Code 28

Well, where do I begin! Got my 1st Ipod 2 days ago & still unable to use it! I have installed & uninstalled the itunes 7 software numerous times. On phone w/ Apple for 1 hour...followed by online chat help w/ Dell.
I've tryed 4 different USB ports on my computer. The device Manager shows the Ipod w/ a ? and a ! in yellow. The add new hardware tells me, "Drivers for this device are not installed. Code 28." My computer reconizes that the ipod is plugged in, but will not do anything. There is no communication between the 2. Keeps telling me to insert cd for software for ipod.
Help! Does seem that other people are having similar issues. I think a software cd should of been provided w/ the ipod....not sure if that would of corrected my problem.

Hi,
Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Run. the Run dialog appears,
Type %temp%, then click OK.
locate and enter into the HP Installation temporary folder, start with the 7Z characters.
If you can see several folders starting with 7Z, locate the latest one.
Click the Address bar area, then the full address path will appear,
Copy the full path location by clicking CTRL + P while the path is selected.
Enter the Device Manager.
Right click the printer name with the error mark, then click Update Driver.
Select the second option to manually locate the driver.
Paste the temporary folder path and click Next (Keep Include Sub Fulders marked), the driver should be updated.
Please let me know of any change,

Ethernet Controller - Driver not installed - Compaq Presario

Hello, I am new here so be gentle
I have just bought second hand a Compaq Presario 6240EA, motherboard is a Compaq 07D0h.
In the hardware - device manager, it shows 'Other devices' - Ethernet Controller, with a large yellow question mark and exclamation mark.
Details in properties show the following: drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28)
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_01C3&SUBSYS_00A80E11&REV_C2\3&13C0B0C5&0&20
I have search the HP and Compaq websites for driver downloads and have downloaded all the nVidia drivers available on the Compaq site, none of which improve the situation.
Would there be somewhere else to look, I am at my wits end with this, any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you in anticipation.
This question was solved.

Please start your own thread rather than opening old ones back up. Also provide your full model number particularly when asking about hardware function which may involve drivers. We have to know precisely what hardware we are dealing with. Like the posts above, you may want to include the hardware id of the affected device.

BootCamp made for Windows Vista would not install in WIndows 7

Hi,
I am trying to install Bootcamp drivers on Windows 7 with the Mac OS CD that came with my Intel-based iMac. The problem is that I bought my iMac when the latest Windows was Vista, and it would not install on Windows 7. The Bootcamp drivers for Windows 7 on Apple Support pages are "UPDATES" that require BootCamp 3.0 already installed in Windows. However, I cannot install BootCamp 3.0 in the first place, because it would be installed only on Vista. What should I do to have BootCamp installed on my Windows 7 so that I can set the default booting OS to be Mac OS again?

Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;
