Beta drivers for Battlefield Bad Company 2 and fixed cracking sound

Hi! Can anyone tell - Is there a new beta driver - newer then 2.8.003.
Creative can you make newer drivers with BFBC2 support. The sound in this game is amazing. Cheers

I guess that isn't the problem with X-Fi. That's the game itself. Not only people who have X-Fies are crashing. My friend has onboard Realtek codec and he experienced that problem. You can also check the BFBC2 forums to see what I'm talking about. So stop screwing your driver settings and system. Wait for proper patch. Meantime I've got a solution which helped me so you can also try it. The idea is to forbid the game from running on all four CPU cores. Dunno about 2 core processors. I think the performance hit will be very serious if the game will be running on a single core.
1. Launch BFBC2Game.exe from game's directory (not the?BFBC2Updater.exe, as usual). Wait till you get into main menu (skip intros etc).
2. Press ALT+ENTER to go to window mode (if you're going to alt+tab, get ready for pain in the @$$ cause the game will try to bring back its window after every switching of window's focus).
3. Launch Task Manager, navigate to "Processes" tab and find BFBC2Game.exe in the list.
4. Right click it and choose "Set Affinity...". Uncheck one of the cores (I usually disable CPU 3). Press ok.
5. Close the Task Manager, switch to game's window and press ALT+ENTER to go fullscreen again.
6. Log-in, connect to a server and try playing.
Hope it'll help. though I'm not giving any promises

Gaming - Battlefield:Bad Company 2

I have the 2nd best iMac currently available, and I'm trying to play video games on it with Bootcamp. I just got the new Battlefield: Bad Company: 2, but the performance issues are mind boggling. All explosions just lag it to ****. Turning down the graphics settings doesn't do much to alleviate this, the only thing that seems to work well is reducing the resolution, but then it just looks like garbage if I do that. My best guess is that Apple completely screwed up by putting a 256MB video card in a widescreen (2560x1440) resolution monitor. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this? Honestly I think this is the last time I purchase a Mac, I can't believe I wasted 1700$ on this crap!

Hi crazy00eyes
I am a long time user of Macs, but can claim quite some experience with PC's too. Also a long time gamer on both platforms. And as a graphic designer on actually making a few games. So...
Before you get totally in a twist about it what screen setting have you chosen for the game?
If you have have set it to 2560x1440, I doubt you can find a PC except the highest end gaming machine that could handle the game at full quality at that resolution. Set your screen resolution for somewhere around 1280x720 and you will probably find that the game will run very well. *Also turn off antialiasing*. In most game graphics you don't need it.
I have the iMac 27" 3.06 +(the basic one!)+ and Boot Camp running Windows 7, with all the updates. On there I play at incredibly high quality, *Modern Warfare 2*, *CoD 5 WaW*, *Fallout 3*, *Call of Juarez*, *Assassin's Creed*, *Prince of Persia*, *Company of Heroes* and god knows what else. They all look absolutely breath-takingly cinematic. I should also mention that I have played many of the above as Cider ports on this Mac to great results.
And interestingly I'm running them off an NTFS formatted USB 2 external disc, in an Icy Box. The disc by the way is an old 250 gig internal disc from my old G4 Quicksilver +(so a slower IDE disc, not even a fast new one and on USB!)+. And all this running without a hitch. Apart from the fact that Windows 7 is still full of glitches, as with all Windows and MS products.
Not to mention that all games usually need at least two or three patches and updates before they run really smoothly. Not forgetting also that most games do not even have 2560x1440 really implemented on them yet.
Another couple of points.
One: *You must update all your firmware on the iMac, there were problems with the 27" which the firmware updates corrected completely.*
Two: *There are some very essential updates for Boot Camp to run Windows 7, also good for any other version of Windows you may be running, find them and apply them.*
Three: *Windows 7 needs a bunch of updates too. Also very importantly you must have the ATI Boot Camp screen control panel installed on your Windows partition.*
Believe me it is an amazing thing that Windows runs on these machines at all, and I am thoroughly blown away by the quality of performance I get on this from Windows. I even ran Fallout 3 on my Mac under Parallel Desktops, and I could actually play it. Not brilliant but playable.
I hope this helps.

Beta drivers for Audigy2

Well, the title says what I'm looking for, but here's my problem:
I had installed Quake4, and was playing fine. After I had finished the game, I went to update my drivers (finally,) and noticed that I was running my NX on generic windows drivers. I updated all the drivers, mediasource, etc... (along with some other housekeeping updates,) and I now can no longer open the game.
I've already eliminated the video card update as the problem, and I honestly don't know of a way to eliminate a bios update issue, however, I HIGHLY doubt that is the culprit. After some discussions in the quake disc. boards, I sence that there is a problem with the creative drivers. I have been told that most people are getting success by using the latest beta drivers, and I was linked to a file called "SBA2_PCDrvBeta_LB_2_08_0002.exe" However, when I try to run that file, I'm told that "Setup is unable to detect a supported device on your system..." As the title says Audigy2/ZS, Audigy 4, I'm thinking these are the wrong beta drivers for my device, but I can't find beta drivers for the Audigy2 NX USB
Help? Thanks...

I have tried re-installing, that isn't working. I'm also hearing that people are having success when installing the OpenAL libs....
I've been trying to get this file: http://developer.creative.com/articl...&top=38&aid=46 however, whenever I try to d/l the file I time-out to a "page unavail." error... Is there some server error at creative? ...or, does anyone know of a mirror server?
The file I'm looking for is: OpenALwEAX.exe

New BETA drivers for TV@nywhere Master

there was a thread somewhere before where someone had found some updated BETA drivers for the MSI TV@nywhere Master card but it seems to have gone now
i've been using them for a while now, and they're very stable, and the picture quality has improved somewhat
they say they are for the Master version of the card, but i think they may work on the Mega PC version, the only difference is the Master has a AM/FM tuner as well
anyone having stability probs in media center III or MSIPVS might want to try them out and see what happens...
i've uploaded them to my webspace, and you can find them here in ZIP format: http://www.ukshazam.com/downloads/8606Master_drv.zip
please note these are BETA drivers and as such MSI won't support them (as if they do anyway
i'll also post this in the Mega PC forum

As I recall when this BETA driver started flying around the forum, they WERE NOT official or unofficial MSI drivers. They were modified by a user from another forum and someone from this forum posted a link to them. THESE ARE IN NO WAY RELATED TO MSI DIRECTLY!! Someone reversed engineered the driver and probly thru extensive testing, via trial and error, was able to clean up the driver to give the result that most have had with them. This doesn't mean that everyone is going to have the same result, which is and has been the reality with any add-on card produced since PC's came out...compatibility issues DO still exist out there and not all systems are going to play in the sandbox well with all add-on cards that are manufactured...something to keep in mind when purchasing new systems...
Furthermore, it's been my experience that proprietary systems (The Pac-10 as I call them...IBM, Dell, Gateway, HP, Compaq, Sony, eMachine, etc...) have more issues than White Box systems when it comes to add-on compatibility. If you don't know this already, most of these companies DO NOT want you to purchase off the shelf items from Best Buy, CompUSA, etc...they want you to have to come back to them for upgrades and add-on devices, at higher than retail prices, and that's where they make the most profit. Sad reality, but true. Case in point: My first retail purchased PC was a Dell XPS Pentium 100, (my prior PC's were purchased from Michael Dell's garage) I wanted to upgrade it to a 4X CDROM drive and Dell had failed to include the snap in side rails for their new innovative case that was tool-less. So I called up Dell support and asked if these rails were available. The CS Rep told me that they were so I asked how much. She asked me if I had bought the upgraded device from Dell and I said no. Then she informed me that they wouldn't sell them to me ($6.00 US) because I hadn't purchased the upgrade device from them. Needless to say I was pissed. This was circa 1995-96.
Anyway, over the years of doing network consulting, I can't tell you the countless times that I've heard this type of thing on the phone from many of the above listed companies...yes, most have gotten better over the years (Like Dell including all of the rails needed inside the case nowadays) but overall they still have the same mindset and it's much more subtle when they design a motherboard that won't play in the sandbox well with retail bought components...*shrugs*
I got tired of playing their game after a while and started building my own systems. I found White Box isn't always better either but for the most part it's been a far cry easier than buying proprietary...
Just my 2 cents here for what it's worth...

Lots to be excited about. BUT...Just updated to 8.1 on one of my computers to test it out...
Sadly, the following issue is NOT fixed for me. Is it with new projects only? I haven't started a new project on 8.1 I've only opened an old project but the issue that I'm referring to which involves also a delay/freeze of anywhere from a few seconds to a MINUTE while the render bar goes from yellow to red and then back to yellow is still there. Boo.
On the list above...
Switching between sequences can turn the render bar red.
This issue is incredibly easy to replicate. I really do hope it gets fixed. Here are the steps:
1) Create two sequences with multiple short clips (the more clips the better)
2) Make sure GPU acceleration is enabled.
3) Add warp stabilizer to the clips in both sequences. Again, the more clips the longer the delay/freeze will be as the render bar goes from YELLOW to RED and then eventually back to YELLOW again.
4) Hit SAVE.
5) Now, toggle between sequences. You'll hit a short delay with a few clips stabilized and a LONG delay with lots stabilized. In my case this delay is around a full minute. The render bar will go from YELLOW to RED and then back to yellow...eventually.
6) Toggle back to the original sequence and the delay occurs again.
7) Once you've toggled between sequences and have gone through this delay, that's it, there is no longer a delay...UNTIL...(and here's the big kicker)...until the project is SAVED again. After that the issue returns when you toggle between sequences. Both saving manually and AUTOSAVING cause this issue. No way around it except not editing with GPU acceleration.
Not sure what the issue is...caching issue when saving maybe? Either way, it stinks and it's still there in 8.1. Big bummer.
Again, lots to be excited about with this release but I really was hopefully this specific issue was resolved.
Sigh.

Downloaded Canon printer/scanner drivers for Canon PIXMA MP520 and MX860 on Mac Book laptop, and they worked. However, when I downloaded the same two drivers on Mac Book Air, neither worked.

I wasn't aware that VueScan charged a yearly license.
You simply launch Image Capture and if the scanner is recognized it will be listed in the SHARED list in the left display column. Select the scanner name and the app will start an overview scan. You will also see a list of scanning options in the right display column (resolution, paper size, file output format, etc.
The above description is when everything is working correctly, which has been the case for me.
Good luck.

Expense types for paid by company and reimburse to employee

I have a question regarding expense types. Should we create separate Expense types for "paid by company" and "reimburse to employee" or is there a way to use the same expense type to both "paid by company" and "reimburse to employee"? Ex: "Hotel - Company paid" and "Hotel-Reimburse to employee" should be separate expense types or can we achieve this with say one expense type "Hotel"?

Hi,
It can be done with single expense type (i.e Hotel Expenses paid)..
Then you need to Define Service Provider ( 01 Self Paid, 02 Company Paid) (V_T702K)
Assignment of trip expense type to wage type depending on service provider
Assignment of symbolic accounts to wage types
Conversion of symbolic account to expense account..
In will automatically credits Employee vendor or Company account based on selection in PR05 ( 01 Self Paid, 02 Company Paid)
Hopes it would serve your purpose.
Regards,
Muhammad Umer

this is what you need to do to exclude everything apart from desktop.
on time machine preferences, click on Options
click plus sign, on the new window, click macintosh HD
do a Control + A then deselect users then click okay
go to options again, plus sign, go to users, control +A then deselect your user account
go to options again, plus sign, go to your user account, control + A, deselect desktop

Drivers for hp photosmart d5360 and laserjet 4000 in windows 7,needed

i need the drivers for hp photosmart d5360 and laserjet 4000 in windows 7
i have install windows 7 ver 7260 and everything was working fine,,then i have updated to ver 7600
and now my computer does not want to install the drivers,,
any ideas why is not working?
thanks

It does not matter how we got Windows 7 RTM (7600). But if you have to know to answer the questions about drivers, then MSDN Subscribers and Technet Subscribers can download Windows 7 RTM as of August 7. I also have Windows 7 RTM and I now cannot install the HP Laserjet 4000N printer. It used to work with Windows 7 RC but now not with RTM. My printer is located on a Windows Server 2008 based computer. It properly browses and I I can select it from the server list of printers. But it then tells me that I dont have a driver. Where can we get a driver? HP will have the Windows 7 RTM version as well for their driver support.

Are new beta drivers for XP and Xfi fatal1ty any go

Can you share your feelings about the new xfi beta drivers with a fatalty card? I've experienced they are better in terms of stability, but find that games are almost now missing sounds. Weird I know, but it's almost like I am not getting full 32 voice capability. The current drivers Creative offers are ok, but I find that any problems I have had with my system lately always come down to a Xfi driver component.
Anyhow, appreciate your experiences with them...

Well for me I managed to stop it from reverting back to 2. in the Creative Volume Panel by unchecking Syncronize with Control Panel option.
Seems that the problem with what you were mentioning is related to Sounds and Audio Devices, when I did have Creatives Volume Panel Syncronised with Control Panel, when I was playing certian games, it would end up reverting to 2. (which I found annoying) but since I did the above I have had no more issues since

How to uninstall beta drivers for xfi xtreme mu

Hi everybody (xcuse my bad english)?Like many people who have crackling pb with the xfi xtreme, i've installed the beta drivers. But in 2 days, these drivers will be out of date. And i don't know how to uninstall them, i cannot find any creative drivers when i go into the set up programcan u help me please?

Hello LA,
The window that I have is different from the one you posted. Please see attached for mine. When I clicked on REMOVE, a message popped up and disappeared within a couple seconds. And the message is as following: "The installer is verifying the installation, please do not reboot while this dialog is being display." This same message popped up every time REMOVE is clicked but I have no luck on removing MAX.
This test PC is for legacy testing and it was with Windows 98 and have an ISA DAQ card installed that requires DAQ driver 6.9.3. Can upgrading the test PC to Windows 2000 corrupt the installation?
Looking forward for your advice. Thank you.
Valen

Beta driver for Titanium Fatal1ty Pro and windows 7 64 bit

I see there are beta drivers on the website for the X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro on Windows 7 64 bit.
The drivers are dated June 23, 200.
Are there any known problems with this set of drivers?

Now I can't find those beta drivers on the website anymore.
Did support take them down?
And do the current drivers dated: july 30, 2009 cause the shutdown bug in win 7 64 bit's

Drivers for T420, T420S, T430S and other musings...

First time poster here! Thanks! I like the Thinkpad series, but I do have some questions.
Drivers for T420, T420S, T430S...The drivers page for these models is confusing. We overwrite the image that comes factory for our thinkpads. So when I load Windows 7 there's still obviously a handfull of drivers you still need as well as maybe some of the options from Lenovo that "improves" functionality.
The confusion for me is around the network cards, wireless...LAN. The problem we have currently is that the previous image we made/deployed for our laptops contained a mix of conflicting drivers for wireless. I think I have it fixed on the new image but I want to make absolutely sure we're cool. We have a mix of both LAN, wireless LAN, and wireless WAN users that we support. At any rate, what might help is a list of all the specific drivers I need based on my full model number. Any takers out there for this one? I doubt this sort of list exists on their website. When I visit the Lenovo drivers page and search for and click on the link for my full model, i.e. T420s-xxxx, I get a multitude of networking driver options!
Also just curious, what are some of the non essential software from lenovo that you guys like on your systems? I hesitate to download it all but I think the Thinkconnections piece works very well for wireless to LAN switching...

I understand what you're saying. But when i type in the T420S-4171, there are mutliple network drivers. Are you telling me from top to bottom you download and install every single driver?
Sorry i wasn't clear, i meant the type, e.g. for my T420s its 4174-bz7. This brings up the configuration of your machine and a list of drivers for your specific hardware. You then choose based on your hardware - for some things e.g. WWAN there might be multiple hardware so you choose yours. You can check device manager if you are unsure.
The Type is on the sticker at the bottom of the laptop. See here for locating it: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/basic.page?DocID=HF002641
