Calibration Wizard with VIsta for Audig
I didn't see the "calibration wizard" listed anywhere so I am posting a download for it with everything needed to get the
Calibration Wizard woking with Vista. Takes about 30 seconds and there is no installation. Just copy the included Calibration Wizard
folder(used in XP), put ctscal.dll in your system32 folder and register. Instructions in download. Works great with my Audigy2 Value.
Calibration_Wizard.rar
Picture in Action
I've made a guide for the calibrator and surround mixer in one of the threads about Audigy 2...
They both work great!
First remove all of the drivers and everything named Creative from your PC: http://nomoregoatsoup.wordpress.com/...tall-problems/
and restart.
Then install these: SBAX_PCDVT_LB_2_5_0004EQ.exe
("Install this driver software anyway")
Don't restart.
Put your original Audigy 2 CD and install only these:
-Creative Speaker Calibrator
-Creative Surround Mixer
Then select your speaker configuration and finish the installation...
It doesn't need to restart the PC.
Go to Audio Console and set your speaker setup - 2/2./4/4./5./6./7./Headphones
Now we have functioning Speaker Calibrator, Surround Mixer, Graphics Equalizer, 6. Mode, CMSS2, Stereo Surround and so on!!!
(If you have trouble with starting the Speaker Calibrator - put this file in Windows\System32 folder and write in Command Prompt this:
Regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\ctscal.dll)
Also you must replace the old surround mixer and speaker calibrator with thesenewer ones:
Speaker Calibrator
Surround Mixer
In addition you can also install Alchemy and OpenAL if you like...
This is the fully working recipe for Audigy 2/4 series.
It's tested on Vista x86 RTM, Vista SP RTM x86, Vista RTM x64 and Vista SP RTM x64!!!
BIG 0x to daniel_k!!!

Palm Desktop 6.2 crashing on launch with Vista
I've been using Desktop 6.2 with Vista for several months. There seems to have been some bad old data on my TX as Desktop crashes when I go to month view in the datebook for August 2008 and earlier, but otherwise fine.
Starting last week, the application will not fully open with a box stating "Palm Desktop by Access has stopped working" within 1/2 second hitting open. I've been able to hotsync with no problem and no change. I removed the application and reinstalled after re-downloading from Palm. I've also tried logging on as an administrator with no help.
Anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks.

This question was solved.
View Solution.I've run into the problem before but it's either been bad data or events spanning midnight. Usually in the month before or after the month that locks up the Palm desktop. You might want to check Sept and Nov for any events that span midnight.

Hello,
I have been using iTunes on my Mac for years but recently was given a new Vaio with Vista for work and want to use it for travel. I loaded the latest relase of iTunes and I cannot connect to the store to authorize my purchased music. The library works fine, and the program runs, but I get a conneciton error anytime I try and connect to the store. The machine is conencted to the net and is not behind a firewall blocking the ITMS port. I have also attempted to shut off the host firewall and windows defender while troubleshooting all to no avail. I attempted to re-installed the itunes applicaiton incase the windows installer had not properly registered everything, again with the same result. Has anyone else had this happen?
Vaio TX series Other OS Vista BuisnessThis is a worldwide issue with several audio drivers after a recent Windows update. Microsoft's website shows a disclaimer saying that it is not responsible and that we should approach the Original Equipment Manufacturer about the problem. Obviously, our OEM is HP who, to date, have neither communicated a fix to their customers, nor have they issued a recall. <text deleted>
Please see the other thread in this forum entitled: HP Quicktouch On Screen Display has stopped working and no audio output device is detected.

Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as to store information from two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?
Yes you can but you need to partition the drive into at least 2 separate drives.
To do that you need to use a Windows PC to do the first partitioning. Say you split the drive into two partitions each 1TB (or close to 1TB) each.
Partition fand format both partitions on a Win PC as one NTFS and the other FAT32.
Then move it to the Mac and Reformat the FAT32 partition Mac Extended (Journaled) with a GUID Partition Table.
I have that same drive and that is what I did originally with it. I now have it just for the Mac as I have other externals for the Win systems.
Good Luck. -
Hi can i use xp recovery disk for dv2000 to downgrade a dv2000 with vista pre installed thanks
Hi
i have 2 dv2000 laptops with different model no,s
one with xp factory fitted and one with vista factory fitted
can i use the xp recovery disks from the xp laptop
to downgrade the vista to xp or is it better to install windows 7 please
many thanks

This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi:
You can probably downgrade your Vista notebook to XP, but you don't have a license (downgrade rights) to do that from Microsoft.
Normally, only business notebooks and desktops were given downgrade rights to XP due to the risk of companies operations grinding to a halt because of software incompatiblities with some programs and Vista.
Personally, it would be better anyway to move on up to Windows 7.
Since your notebook came with Vista, it can run Windows 7. For any missing drivers you may have you can normally use the Vista drivers on your notebook's support and driver page.
Additionally, you may want to read through this dv2000 upgrade guide for Windows 7.

IPod setup on Mac now needed for PC with Vista
I have had my iPod setup on a Mac and now am using a PC with Vista. I installed iTunes 8.x and when I connected my iPod I was informed that it had to be reformatted for use with Windows.
This iPod is packed with music. Is there any way to salvage the content on this iPod?
Any help greatly appreciated!You might be able to do something with a 3rd-party ipod manager, but I suspect they are also either Mac or Windows-based, as in either/or and not "works with both". Here is a good page to start researching it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_iPodmanagers
I would steer clear of the free ones. Also, and contact the company who sells whichever one you choose to make sure it can do what you want.
And you could see if any of your friends have a Mac, just to get the music files off the iPod and then put back on after you've Windows-formatted it. -
Solution for CD DVD Matshita driver or other with Vista and itunes
Hi all,
I searched the answers everywhere, all around the websites. The problem was always there. If I didn't have the error message in itunes my dvd-cd driver was wrong and if I change the parameters in registry, my dvd-cd driver worked correctly in windows but not in itunes. I have a Matshita cd drive and Vista.
After 8 months, I found the solution yesterday. I did the changes and WOW all is OK now. Believe me, this is THE SOLUTION and I'm very happy.
You must do the changes the registy with regedit (see other answers for the upperfilters in registry) but after this change it is VERY IMPORTANT that you follow this ...
Go to this website and follow the instructions for the file AFS driver or read the complete solution.
http://www.gearsoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=CD/DVDdrives_disappear_after_installingiTunes
Here the complete explanation:
Summary:
After installing a GEAR Software or a GEARWorks GEAR Powered Product (such as Apple iTunes and Norton Ghost) on Vista, the CD/DVD drives disappear in Windows Explorer and the installed software is unable to detect any CD/DVD drives on the system.
Discussion:
After investigating this issue, we have determined that the issue is being caused by the presence of the Audio File System (AFS) driver from Oak Technologies.
The AFS driver adds CD recording functionality to certain versions of the following software:
* HP Memories Disc Creator
* Liquid Audio
* Portal Player
* Oak Technology SimpliCD
* Broderbund's Print Shop version 20
It appears that the AFS driver does not meet Windows Vista driver signing requirements and thus is not compatible with Vista. As a result, the AFS driver prevents the GEARAspiWDM.sys driver from functioning correctly resulting in CD/DVD drives ‘disappearing’ in Windows Explorer and applications using the GEARworks API, such as Apple iTunes and Norton Ghost.
Solution:
Disabling the AFS driver appears to resolve the issue.
This can be done by renaming the afs.sys driver file in the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers directory to afs.txt and rebooting the system. After the reboot the CD/DVD drives should re-appear in Windows Explorer and be available in GEAR and GEARworks powered product (such as Apple iTunes and Norton Ghost).
Note that disabling the AFS driver may result in the loss of the CD recording functionality in the above mentioned software that uses the AFS driver.Are you able to even edit the registry key? The problem I had -- and many others, I've learned -- is that for some reason iTunes and/or QT locks down certain critical registry keys. So even if I'm logged on as an admin I can't change them.
I posted a possible solution -- at least it worked for me:

Is there any updates available for Acrobat 7.0 to be used with Vista?
It seems to be an uncompatibilty with Vista that I acquired yesterday. No problem with XP but struggling with Vista. A guy in Dublin over the phone (when I registered the product) said it was not compatible and that is it. No solution he was aware of. The message given as a code error is 93: -2 or a window appears in Acrobat saying:
HKCMD.EXE and IGFXTRAY.EXE - BAD IMAGE
C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/IGFXRES.DLL IS EITHER NOT DESIGNED TO RUN ON WINDOWS OR IT CONTAINS AN ERROR.
The suggestion is to desinstal and reinstall software. I have tried this but still the same problem. I have tried so many times that I could not activate the software automatically over the internet - so called this guy in Dublin...
I reckon that the suggested update to Acrobat 7.0.1 is not good as when installed, repeated error messages come up! I am reluctant to try to download it again just to try because I am scared that I will have to call Dublin again to activate the software...
Any suggestion on the above?
Thanks guys.Starting here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows

The current version 9 is designed for Vista (as well as XP)
As far as I know, version 8 would work with Vista AFTER you applied the updates -
I have an HP LaserJet 1160Le with wired connection to a Dell laptop with Vista OS. The driver I have will not allow me to print more than one page at a time from most software programs I use including MS Word, Adobe Reader9, WordPerfect, and Photoshop Elements 9.
No driver update seems to be available on HP website. Please advise.According to this Apple article, a driver for your HP LJ 3800 is available from Apple. So what should happen is when you add the printer to the Mac, the supporting driver should be downloaded from Apple and installed.
Is the printer being connected to the Mac via USB cable or is it networked? -
I purchased Photoshop CS5 for my windows vista operating system. I purchased a canon 7 D some yrs ago no problem. I purchased canon 7D mk 11 in December 2014. The supplied software will not work with vista. Photoshop CS5 will not accept canon7D mk11. Can someone please tell me how i process canon 7D mk11 photos ?????. (is it possible to bypass camera raw and open the photo straight into CS5 without using camera raw first. if so how do i do that. if not how do i process pictures).
Thank you.
Brian in the UK.Photoshop by itself cannot process raw image data. That is why the Camera Raw plug-in was developed. You could try the DNG converter and convert your images to the DNG format and then the Camera Raw that you have would be able to open them. I can't recommend Lightroom because you are using Vista, and Lightroom 5 cannot be used with that operating system. It may be time for you to get a new computer and upgrade your software.

Look under "Older versions".
I guess it's not on your packaging because the software was sold before Vista existed. -
Satellite A300D with Vista 64-bit - Drivers for Conexant High Definition
Hi,
I have Satalite A300D-15B AMB 64-bit notebook with Vista 64-bit installed. After I have installed Vista, it automatically took the audio drivers for sound card, but Dolby didn't work.
I tried to install the drivers from toshiba, it fails.
Can someone guide me how to install the Vista 64-bit drivers for Conexant High Definition Audio please......
regards,
GaneshHello Ganesh
Sorry but this notebook model is not supported for Vista 64-bit and I don't know what driver installation are you writing about.
What you can try is to download and install THIS driver.
This is driver for Satellite A300 but this notebook has the same sound card as your Satellite A300D - Conexant CX20561.
Please post the results. -
Updating Zen Sleek for use with Vista?
Hello,I've just bought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium. It is recognising my player but is requesting I download drivers and the installation cd does not work. I have been searching for a solution to this and believe there is a way of updating my player using a computer with XP.Could someone please tell me how to do this Will I lose all stored music if I do update the firmware
Thank you!Yes,you will lose all the music files when updating the firmware. What firmware is on the device now? You will need to do the update on XP SP2 with Windows Media Player 0 & no WMP components.

I keep getting a message that I need to update to firefox version 7. I can't find any information to help me know if this version is compatible with Vista. I did an "automatic" update in the past, and needed to uninstall it because it did not work well with Vista. firefox is not giving me any info regarding this - it just says install it.

USB Port Replicator 2nd monitor doesn't work on restart with Vista
Greetings wise wizards of Lenovo:
I'm helping a friend with the USB Port Replicator, who is running Windows Vista Home Premium on her Acer laptop. She has all of the necessary hardware requirements, and I've installed the Lenovo USB Port Replicator drivers with once with Vista (automatically installing the drivers), once with the CD, and finally from the Lenovo website. The problem is that the port replicator works fine upon installation, but as soon as Vista is restarted, not only does a second monitor not appear automatically, it doesn't appear at all.
Connecting the second monitor to the laptop VGA port works fine, and I can extend the desktop across both the laptop and the second monitor... it is only a problem on restart with the port replicator. I've uninstalled and resintalled three times now, once with letting Vista provide the drivers automatically, once with the CD, and once with the website download.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
ZovothMines not working on XP. Works fine until I re-boot then I have a hard time getting it to work. I've tried unplugging the ac adapter, usb, tried switching my monitors and still nothing. Both monitors are functioning properly. The icon for the repilicator does not show up down the clock. It's in my program files with the only option to uninstall.
Comon Lenovo, there hasn't been an answer to this question since 2008???
