Audigy 4 - Vista Installation Probs with Beta Driver...help

Another Vista horror story I'm afraid. Having completed a clean install of Vista basic I tried installing Audigy 4 drivers downloaded from Creative. The install failed and I had to reboot my machine. On trying to re-install I get an error message after the unpacking stage saying `you have previously installed drivers without re-booting...re-boot and try again'?Of course I've done that and the same situation repeats. There is nothing showing in the software uninstall component of control panel so I'm stuck in a loop. Can anyone help?TIA?

I see others mentioning the 8800 with their xfi, I have 768 version of 8800. I wish I could get these drivers in so I can get surround sound back..

Audigy2 ZS with Beta Driver (11 Aug 20060) in Windows Vista RC1 does not w

I recently updated my Windows Vista to RC build 5600 (32 bit) and although my driver seems to load properly, windows does not recognize my Audigy2 ZS sound card. I had Vista build 5536 and everything worked perfect...clear sounds, no errors, etc, but with Vista RC, the sound card does not work at all. I have dual boot, and when I boot back to XP, my sound card works good.
I've tried loading the drivers in safe mode.
Any suggestions, or will Creative be releasing a new beta build?
I know that as part of beta testing, these issues come up, but if anyone has gotten their drivers or Audigy2 ZS to work, I could use some guidance and suggestions.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi to all,
I want to make some corrections about the test with BF2. I noticed that even with hardware as the only solution Ultra or less I have only 2. speaker sounds. I played the demo Flight Simulator X and worked well. I have 2. sounds on the speakers when I set up to 7.. When I changed to 5., I did have 5. sounds on the speakers. BF2 graphics are good. However, it sounds that the current Creative drivers are not fully compatible with BF2. It seems to be ok with Flight Simulator X demo. This game is made for Vista. I think that can be one of the reasons. I have not checked any other games. As Creative said, the drivers are not good for 6. or better. I think by January 2007, they will be all right. It would be worse no sound at all.
Take care all,
Medico

Problem with openAl with beta driv

Hi, i just installed the new beta drivers for doom 3. I ve got an audigy 2 ZS and at the end of the installation, it says that i can't install openAl because it says that drivers must be installed for the integrated sound of my motherboard which i had of course unactivated. The motherboard is a A7n8x-x with a nforce chipset.Do you know where the problem could come from?Thanks.Message Edited by djremy on 05-25-2005 04:50 PM

ITunes installation probs with anti-virus software?

After installing iTunes 5.0.1, my iTunes either will not run or it crashes. Also, my iPod now no longer works. It shows nothing but a folder and exclamation point, and iPod Updater does not recognize the iPod and therefore will not allow me to restore it to factory settings.
Are these problems related to the incompatibility of the iTunes installer with anti-virus software? If so, can anyone suggest a fix for someone using Norton 2005 Internet Security? I tried to use the following 3-step program for addressing this problem at
Lisa Bissell, "ITunes won't work" #4, 09:12pm Sep 28, 2005 CDT
1. Open Norton 2005 Internet Security, click on Personal Firewall, click Configure button, click Programs tab.
2. Uncheck the Turn on Automatic Program Control box. In the Program window find itunes and change the Automatic setting to Permit All.
3. Close Norton and restart Windows. itunes should work correctly after that.
However, my iTunes is not found on Nortons Program window. When I click on Add and then click on iTunes, the Norton program crashes. Suggestions?
By the way, I am on week 2 of trying to untangle all of the problems created by the iTunes 5.0.1 installation. I have already implemented the suggestions on the following four sites without success.

Troubleshooting iTunes and iPod Software installation on Windows

iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes

Any help getting my iTunes and iPod back in operation would be much appreciated.

Ok, b, I'm now on week 3 of trying to get my iTunes and iPod back and wonder if I am any closer to resolution.
I have tried all three of the sets of recommendations in the links you provided without success. Specifically:
I've once again reinstalled iTunes (I now have version 6) and deleted all of the suggested Temp files etc.
I've put my iPod into disk mode and tried to restore it. iPod updater still does not recognize my iPod. Nor does iTunes or Windows (My Computer). In contrast, Windows recognizes my son's iPod mini, but iTunes does not.
I have run the System Config utility and selected iTunes Helper as the only the startup and iPod Service as the only service. When I restarted my computer, I had no better luck with my iTunes or iPod Updater. In fact, things got worse since I could no longer connect with the internet. So I went back to the old startup method and full range of services.
I tried to go into Disk Management to change the letter of the network drive, but either Disk Mgmt wouldn't open or, when it did, I didn't see my iPod listed.
I am also still having occasional difficulties launching iTunes, and having some difficulties using a hard reset to get my iPod off of its "Do Not Disconnect" message. (To accomplish the latter, I often am forced to try 3 or 4 times holding the Select and Menu buttons for 10 plus seconds at a time.) My iPod does nothing more than rotate between Do Not Disconnect and the sad icon.
I would consider replacing my iPod, except that it is apparent that my problems are being generated by iTunes, considering that my son's iPod is also having problems when I attempt to synch it to iTunes, and it otherwise works fine.
If you could help me get out of this mess, I would be eternally grateful.

Installation prob. with orig. Intel WiFi5100 @ U450

Hi,
I have just bought at amazon an original Intel Wifi 5100 pciE card to replace this one with the stock wlan card (boradcom.... whatever).
After I had exchanged the wifi card (what was a lot easier than I thought), I installed the driver (Win7x32) for the 5100 card which I have downloaded from the lenovo support side.
The wifi card is recognized, but no network is found. The win7 problem solver (don´t no the right name in english, ´cause I´m using the german version) says that the hardware switch is not closed which definetly is.
I know that the hardware switch is on the right side of the U450. I also see only the bluetooth device on this little message screen when you switch the hardware button, but no wifi adapter.
The oem drivers from the Intel site doesn´t lead to a solution either. Same problem.
So, is it not possible to exchange the wifi adapter with an original Intel (maybe due to oem wifi bios......) or do I need further drivers/settings.
I hope here is somebody who knows a solution, ´cause I want to get the feeling of 300Mbit instead of 54Mbit.

@scottieac,
Yigit brought this to my attention. Could you provide me with the model name of the Intel WLAN card which you bought so I can check with engineering on this.

XP install probs with SATA drive

I am trying to install XP on a new SATA drive with a new motherboard (MSI 865PE NEO2). I press F6, insert the floppy that came with motherboard, it then seems to install a file (iastor.sys) from floppy. Once this is done it shows that Intel 82801ER SATA RAID CONTROLLER is installed, however when windows tries to continue installing i just get "setup did not find any hard disk drives etc...." press F3 to quit. And thats as far as I get. Please help, I'm getting desperate! It's definately plugged properly and I have tried different cables.

I have the same problem but on a PT880 Neo. I am trying to install Windows XP. I have read on a different site that there isn't a SATA driver on the Windows CD so I need to download them. Is this true? if so where do I get these drivers?
DOH!! I just answered my own question!! Sorry for the spamage. For anyone that needs this info and is using a maxtor drive here is the link.

Purchased Audigy 2 Value but came with no driver

Does anyone no where i can get the original driver because i cannot update it!

You need to contact the place where you purchased this card and ask them for the CD. If they don't, you should RMA it and get a refund. Then, ditch that company. Afterwards do business with companies like zipzoomfly.com or newegg.com They back their stuff. And also, avoid OEM sound cards. Pay the few extra bucks and get Retail stuff as they come with proper drivers and ap

Msi rx9800 installation probs with xp pro

hardware environment:

this rig is running win xp pro with all latest updates.
i just upgraded cpu and ram on this box and bought the vid card for sum added punch in my gaming. it was previously running an ati 7500 4x agp card with the latest omega drivers.
msi rx9800 came in the mail today. tested with last 2 ati releases of catlyst, tested with drivers on the install disk, and tested with the latest omega drivers, as well as downloading drivers direct form msi site. all failed.
i pulled it out and plugged it into a garbage system that barely meets min req for the card and it booted without a problem using catalysts.

yeah, i hope its ok to post this link for you:

that is the xt bios. apparently ppl are getting mixed results and one person i found in a diff forum had to go thru some hoops to return his card to original bios, which included putting in a pci vid card to boot the machine.
maybe you can confirm some facts for me before i flashrom mine
1. this is the 360? cz if u flash a 350 ur done and ull be lucky to get ur card back
all indications short of pulling the heatsink off to eyeball the chip says it is true. has this card been released in 2 versions, one of which may harbor the awful secret of a 350 ?
everything reports this card in my box as an xt, however, sandra 2k4 pro shows it as " msi radeon 9800 pro plus " and NOT the XT, which sytem info shows it as, as well as device manger.
2. the bios i provided the link for is a morrien (sp.,? going from memory here) which is supplied to the msi cards sold as XT's in germany which are built on the 360. this is what led modders to believe they could flashrom the chip. true or false?
3. this one doesnt demand an answer, just simply stating that i have found just as many bad results in my search as i have found good results. i can attribute some of the failures to ignorance and inexperience, just as i can attribute some of the success stories to blind luck ( ppl just following instructions in random forums without a clue as to what its going to do )
one fact remains, the people who had success have experienced great success. that is enough for me to rip the heatsink off and confirm the 360 lies beneath before i flash anything.

Samsung LCD not working in Vista, but fine with OSX. Help!

Ok guys. I have read some of the posts on this topic, but they really haven't been helpful, so I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have a Samsung 4671 TV, that when connected through DVI to HDMI on my MBP on OSX it works fine, on Vista my TV says mode not supported. Since, it works fine with OSX, I kind of doubt it is the TV. Has anyone had this problem with a similar setup and gotten it to work? Thanks.

I suspect it's the Vista DVI driver that is at fault. A Google search with 'Vista DVI driver apple' shows that others are having your same problem.

Audigy 2 Zs Causing Probs... Help pls?

Hi all
First of all I love this message
Ok ever since I installed the driver for my Audigy2 ZS sound card I get an error messege regarding nvraidservice.exe (or something like that) upon boot up. I dont think its hindering my rig at all but its rather irritating. Is there a way i can disable that? if so plse let me know how.
Another problem im having is again upon boot up core center will pop up and error message first it says no hardware monitor detected, then it would say corecenter does not support your motherboard. It use to be ok but every since I loaded my audigy 2 zs drivers ive been getting those error messeges when ever i boot up. But the funny thing is after I close down all the error messages, and start corecenter then it works fine.
I dont think any of these errors are hindering my rigs performance but its getting really really annoying.
And my Msi Live update is also no longer working ever since the audigy 2 driver install.
Is there any new drivers that I can download that will fix this because I love my Audigy 2 sound card and don't want to give it up
Thanks
Jason

CoreCenter did not support my motherboard either after I added an Audigy2 ZS to my system. I never got any error about "nvraidservice.exe", but I removed the CoreCenter error by removing MSI Live Update Monitor from the autostart. Havnt had any problems since then. Hope it helps.
And oh, the rig in the signature is my personal fileserver. My gaming-rig is as follows;
"The Ryomou"
Chieftec LCX-01B-B-SL case
Antec TrueBlue 480 watt
AMD Athlon64 3500+
MSI Neo2 Platinum motherboard
1024mb Corsair DDR400 RAM

Creative Soundblaster Audigy2 ZS
One 200gb Maxtor SATA

I've tried to update my computer with the services packs that it says in the requirements section when you download and i keep getting an error that won't allow it to update. I've tired using microsoft fix it and system update readniness tool to help update. My laptop is a windows 7 home premium. please help me on to fix this problem

Have you used it before? It sounds like it's open a default - and corrupt - catalog.
You can create a new one and start from scratch by holding down control as you start it.
