Can't install drivers for Sound Blaster Live! No ctzapxx.exe file

As above, I had to reboot my system and used a disk eraser as I wanted a clean slate. So obviously I have to reinstall the drivers for diff things such as sound card, USB 2.0 card etc. Everything goes fine until I get to installing the drivers for the Sound Blaster Li've!?I inserted the disc and installed the drivers, then I restarted Windows as requested. When it loads back up it'sdetects the sound card and trys to install the driver, but it can not find the driver anywhere, not on the PC or on the CD. After looking into things I thought I would go down the approach using the ctzapxx.exe file mentioned here - <a target="_blank"]http://93.95.7.84/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=4,E=000000000033636605,K=5285,Sxi=8,Answer2655 5=obj(26555)bj(26559[/url])?But for some reason this file isn't on the CD, which is what I think is stopping me from installing the drivers. My OS is Windows XP SP2. I have files that a similar in name to ctzapxx.exe , but they don't seem to do anything. I am usual ok with computer software but hardware and BIOS etc isn't my strong point as you may have gathered. I'm hoping someone knows how to sort this as it is a real pain not having any sound. Any help will be much appreciated!If you need anymore details to help identify the problem I'll provide them ASAP. Thanks in advance,Andy

the unipack download from creative will not work. first, try asking around if somebody else has the same 5. creative card as yours. the only solution for your problem is to use the installation cd that came with your creative card. I lost mine so i went to a pc repair shop and inquired if they have a copy of such cd - they normally do.
. you need to remove all the programs concerning creative from add remove programs. 2. shut down, and remove the sound card. 3. turn the pc on and let windows boot normally. install the the softwares and drivers using the cd that came with the box. 4. shut down and install the sound card 5. turn on the pc. windows will find a new hardware and will find the right drivers bec you have previously installed them. There is absolutely no need to reformat your hard dri've.

  • Can't install drivers for sound blaster live Telling me there isn't a sound blaster card install

    I am doing a fresh install of xp on a machine. This machine had no hardware issues before I formated the dri've and re-installed windows xp.
    Everytime I go to install the drivers for the sound card I get an error message telling me that setup cannot find a sound blaster card installed on the system?
    I even pulled a known working li've card from the machine I have downstairs. Put the card in and started up the machine. The driver pack is still telling me there is no card installed. I've tried three different pci slots as well.
    I even went as far as re-installing windows xp without service pack 2 integrated and even that didn't help!!!
    Is there some kind of fix that I am missing?

  • Drivers for Sound Blaster Live

    I am getting an older computer together for my grandmother and upgraded it to Windows 2000 from 98. The original drivers do not work with 2000 so I have tried to find the current drivers. I have tried different PCI slots, downloaded the drivers from Creative, and I get a message that I don't have a Sound Blaster installed.
    This card came in the computer which is a Compaq EP 6350. I have also been to their site and downloaded the drivers they have all with no luck. The computer is identifying the card as a Mulitmedia Audio Controller not a Sound Blaster. Any suggestions?THank you

    You may be able to download the install CD for your card from here.

  • I can`t install drivers for Promise IDE on WINXP.

    Hi, guys. I have a problem. I can`t install drivers for Promise IDE on WINXP. I `ve got an error "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". In Norton Ghost (DOS) drive on Promise work fine. I can`t install WINXP + SP1 on HDD on Promise controller. After pressing F6 and installing driver i `ve got an error Can`t find drive. BIOS 193 beta. Devices: IBM 120Gb 180GXP on primary master, Seagate 120 SATA 26AS on Third master. CD-ROM and DVD-ROM on secondary channel. Drivers 1.00.1.37 from ASUS and 1.00.1.29 from MSI. No result.
    And another one. Why very poor perfomance when copying large files (700Mb). When starting copying speed is 25-27Mb/sec, when finishing 5-8Mb/sec. All drives under NTFS.
    PS. Sorry for my bad english.

    That's correct  
    So if I do not misunderstand you, Windows hangs when accessing the drive?
    Is it only with this drive, then maybe it's an incompatibility between the controller and the ata electronics of the drive.
    Or maybe it's completely broken.. have you tried it on the ICH5 IDE controller?
    If it works there you should use this configuration.
    I've read about problem with some drives ... take a look into the threads on the top of this board (FAQ etc.).
    What I found out yesterday: You can use the Promise in RAID mode and define a RAID0 array with only one single drive. So you could use the Fasttrak driver from MSI, which is up to date.
    I haven't tried this solution (one disk in a RAID0 stripe configuration), but I think it should work...
    Maybe you give it a try  
    PS.: Before you switch to RAID mode, you have to change the Promise Driver... but be careful: windows won't boot with the wrong driver - your last chance would be "last known good" then...

  • Sbl-soundfonts: soundfont midi lib for sound blaster live

    Something I needed for midi tests of my sound blaster live card.
    The first soundfont file was suggested as the best general soundfont library available for free (8MB). The second is from my sb live install cd (4MB). If you only want the first one remove second source file and second md5sum. You will need asfxload from awesfx package (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=77155) to load the library.

    I recently answered about the same question:
    If you?use Vista or Windows7, then there is no official driver. You can only use alternati've drivers like Vista Support Pack by Daniel_K or the one from KXProject (better). But if you have more than 2 gigs of memory installed or an x64 OS, then both drivers will be half-working (as far as I remember, Daniel's driver won't work with more than 2 Gb of memory installed in any OS, and with KX-driver there will only be a problem with MIDI playback with more than 2 Gb AND x64 Win7).

  • Drivers needed for Sound Blaster LIVE VALUE - Model 4780

    I had to move my SB Live Value card model 4780 S/N 4780210008722, to another computer and require new drivers for the SB card which has a gaming port.
    I have a 3.0 gig IBM Think Center box using Windows XP SP2.
    I tried the DOWNLOAD area Creative provided but found the information very confusing as to what drivers and patches to download. First it said to download except if I did not have the original installation drivers (which I don't have), but then it says to download the drivers as an upgrade.
    Again, they don't address clearly what I should download for a basic installation which includes use of the game port for use with flying type software. I have 2-3 joysticks consoles i'd like to use on my newer computer using the CT 4780 SB card.

  • Windows 7 - 64 Bit Driver Needed For Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Model SB0100

    I am having trouble finding a working driver for Windows 7 - 64 Bit for a Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Audo Card Model# SB000
    I downloaded driver file SBL_PC64DRVBETA_LB_2_03_0005.exe which I think is a 64 Bit Sound Blaster Li've! update, but Windows 7 does not allow it to be installed because it is not a digitally signed driver. It also seems Creative is no longer supporting these old cards with new driver updates.
    I love the card though. I have bought more recent sound cards and the sound of this card is still much better than the more recent sound cards I have bought. So I would like to keep using it if possible.
    Are there any driver solutions?

    I recently answered about the same question:

Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this Setup program." Then it exits and the application never works.
    My sound card is working properly, and all of the drivers are installed, I just cannot seem to access the features that the CD allows you to, like the equalizer or bass boost.

  • Can't install drivers for C7280 on Mac Air Hp says drivers at Apple who says no drivers, see HP.

    I can't install the drivers for my printer Photsmart C7280 on my Mac Air running Mac OS X 10.7, Lion. The HP center sends me to Apple Updates which says no drivers available, see HP which repeats the circle.

    Lion should include the driver you need but since its not working lets try this:
    Let's uninstall with the 'scrubber option' like this:
    1. Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller and click Continue
    2. Highlight your device on the left pane
    3. Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
    4. There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    5. Click Continue and let it finish
    Now, run a Software Update. This can be done by clicking the Apple in the top left of the screen then clicking Software Updates.
    Next, let's reset the printing system:
    Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Default tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
    Finally, download and install the software from here.
    Let me know how this works for you!

  • How can I install drivers for bootcamp without using the mac install dvd?

    I installed windows 7 in bootcamp on my mac. I put the drivers on a FAT format usb stick so they should be installed while the windows installation was running. The most things are working on windows like the i-sight-camera. The problem is that the microphone doesn´t work so I look for a solution for 3 days, no result. Normally, you use the mac install dvd to install the necessary drivers but windows doesn´t want to read the dvd. And yes, you can download the drivers on the apple platform, but that doesn´t help me at all.
    Thanks in advance. (sorry for the language)

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You didn't install Boot Camp drivers. It looks like you downloaded these drivers > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173
    Those drivers are only for the graphic card and Bluetooth, not anything else, so you have to download the Boot Camp drivers on OS X and install them in Windows
