Cannot UPDATE my A. 2 ZS Driver

PLEASE advise and help! I have a new OEM Audigy 2 ZS Card installed so I went to Creative, registered it, and they said I can download drivers etc.. Thus, I went and downloaded the latest for this card; shown as .84.55 6.34MB dated 5/2/05 - - - then I INSTALL and re-boot. BUT in Device Manager/Hardware I see that my drivers for this card are 5.2.2.444 dated 0/8/04.
Can someone PLEASE tell me WHY they are NOT updating? AND what can I do to update these drivers?
Thank YOU, Michael

They're updated. You're looking at the installation file release date. Those are the driver files that update installs.
As long as you've got the little signed by Microsoft icon's next to all the files in device manager and the main page says they're signed and working properly you're fine.
The only other newer ones for you are the beta OpenAL drivers. But those break the software installed by the Audigy 2 ZS cd so unless you need the latest OpenAL support for the newest games that use it you don't need them. You'd have to use the new Audio Console instead of the stuff like EAX Console, etc. (Unless you remove the software and use the modified Audigy 4 Pro cd by UPax.)
If everything works, you've got the setup most compatible with games and software programs for the Audigy 2 ZS. Those unofficial things are mostly for folks who enjoy looking at newer software GUI's designed for the newer cards.

  • Cannot mount any firewire/USB external drive after software update 10.5.4

    After the last software update on 10.5.4 it did not complete the installation, and get stuck at the last step of running installation script for hours. So I have to restart the computer, and it restarted fine. Then I use Disk Utility to check my hard disk, and discovered some file system inconsistency error, so I repaired it (in target disk mode by another Mac). After it is repaired, the file system passed with no error.
    But ever since then, I cannot mount any external firewire drive or USB drive. I cannot use Time Machine to backup my disk. I think my firewire and USB ports are fine because I can restart my iMac in target mode and connect to my MacBook via firewire, so the hardwire ports are functional, except that it seems 10.5.4 cannot detect or mount any external drive after the failed software update.
    Does anyone encounter similar problem? How can I fix it? I have my disk backed up by TimeMachine but I cannot restore it if it won't let me mount my TimeMachine disk. Is there any other way other than completely reinstall 10.5 from scratch?

    first, you should try reinstalling 10.5.4. download the [combo update|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1054com boupdate.html] and run it. If that doesn't fix the issue, you can use full system restore from TM to go back to a time before the troubles started. to do that boot from the leopard install dvd, once past the language screen go to the Utilities menu at the top and choose "restore from backup".

  • Cannot update printer driver on client computers

    Hi all,
    we are migrating users and computers from one domain (DomainA) to another one (DomainB). All was working fine: bidirectional trusts is created, all users and computer are migrated but the printer server still exists in DomainA and is being used. All
    45 printers are Canon models: Canon IR2525i and Canon IRC2030i. Also, Domain A print server is the last DC at domainA and is running Windows 2008 R2. Domain B DCs are running Windows 2003 SP2
    All users could print ... but yesterday a workmate tried to install a new printer (Canon iR ADV C2230), so he decided to install its driver. After that, all Windows 7 users were unable to print (there are some XP computer but they can print) because all
    Canon printers show a 'Driver update needed' message with privilege prompt, but users cannot update because they're non-admin users.
    We're using GPO & GPP for printer deployment. I've tried to use 'Point and print restrictions' as I could read at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753269.aspx. First I disabled Point and print restrictions... the same result. After that,
    I tried to enable it and set as trusted server the DomainA print server and not showing warning or elevation prompt when connecting or updating driver... same result.
    Also, I tried to set GPO policy for user permission 'Devices: prevent users from installing printer drivers' to Disabled. and using GPP adding a common group for migrated users to local advanced users group.... same result.
    The last attempt was, using GPP printer deployment, set 'Replace' instead of 'Update' a printer, but after GPUPDATE /FORCE I can see the modified printer dissapears, but not returns. At event viewer I can see 0x80070bcb error : The specified printer driver
    was not found in the sistem and needs to be downloaded
    Any idea what else can I do? If I set admin user at privilege prompt drivers are installed succesfully, but is not a solutions because there is a lot of clients :(
    Thanks in advanced

    Hi SalvaG,
    Thanks for sharing your solution in the forum. We really appreciate your time and efforts.

  • Cannot install driver, cannot update driver, cannot uninstall device

    Dcannot install driver, cannot update driver, cannot uninstall device7 SB Audigy4 24 bit
    Hi,
    I have read the faq & tried numerous time all suggested steps, to no avail
    In device mgr, I am unable to uninstall the device, services.exe goes to 50-80% cpu usage for hours & hours, without ever uninstalling my SB
    If on the other hand, I try to install with one of the recommended driver, it invariably tells that it need to uninstall a previous driver, then it stays at the uninstall full sreen for hours. Oddly enough, device mgr gives me a code 8 (no driver installed)
    I need to nuke whatever's left of the driver, something ctzapxx.exe has not been able to help me do so far
    I have spent the better part of the last 3 days trying to get this fixed, you guys are my last hope before I reformat
    Tks in advance

    Thank you for the information, Harry. If you are installing from the HP CD which came with you then let us check with downloading the All-in-One software from the hp website and then check for the result.
    First of all you need to uninstall the software which was already installed on your Vista computer , then we need to download the software and install the All-in-One software.
    Here are the uninstallation steps to uninstall the software from the computer:
    To completely uninstall the software, run the uninstaller at level three using these steps:
    1. Turn the All-in-One off and disconnect any USB/Ethernet cable from All-in-One to computer.
    2. Insert the all-in-one CD-ROM into the computer. Cancel any installation windows that appear.
    3. Click Start on the taskbar and then click Run.
    4. In the command box type the following command and press Enter key:
    X:\Util\CCC\Uninstall_L3.bat
    (X: is the CD-ROM drive letter of that the all-in-one CD-ROM is in)
    Follow the above steps to uninstall the All-in-One software and then restart the computer .
    Then download the software from the below web link:
    full feature software in vista
    Click on the above link and open the web page,after you open the above link click on download only button and save the file onto your desktop.
    Here are the instructions to install the All-in-One software:
    1) Unplug the USB cable from the back of the computer
    2) Install HP Software using downloaded file => Double click on downloaded file => Choose Run and follow the onscreen instructions
    3) Before starting the installation disable the antivirus and firewall and then proceed with the installation.
    4) Plug in the USB cable when it prompts to connect in the midway of installation
    Note : It is important that you connect the USB cable only when the software prompts you while you are installing the software.
    Once you install the All-in-One software check for the result and let us know.

  • HT1338 I bought my macbook pro november 2011 and I still cannot use my toshiba external hard drive.  what updates do i need to get?

    I don't know my operating system.  I bought it in nov of 2011.  I am trying to axcess a toshiba external hard drive.  what new update do I need to get?

    You can find out your current system version by select About This Mac from the Apple menu.  To make sure it is updated, select Software Update from the Apple menu.  A Mac from Nov. 2011 is probably running "Lion," and the latest version of Lion is Mac OS X 10.7.4.
    But that should not affect the connection of an external hard drive.  There are no special updates for connecting standard external drives.
    Does the external Toshiba drive connect by USB port?  Is it the smaller type that gets power from the port (no conection except for the one cable), or is it larger (with its own power supply)?

  • Error message iPod cannot update b/c all of the playlists no longer exist

    Hello. I have been getting this error message. "Songs on the iPod "MAR(the name of my iPod)" cannot update because all of the playlists selecting for updating no longer exist." And my playlists are still on the left side in my iTunes. They do exist. I have a feeling ths might have to do with the fact that on vacation the person I was visiting gave me a gift of putting all of his music that would fit into the external hard drive part of my iPod, and for the past week or so I have been putting that music onto my 40 GB portable hard drive at home. I suspect I took a vital folder out of my iPod by accident. Right now I have the folder iPod_control if I open my iPod up in My Computer. Am I missing something? Right now my iPod is empty because iTunes made a composite playlist last week and I deleted it thinking I could get my real playlists back. Can you help me, or reccomend a site/someone who can? Thank you.
    PC   Windows XP  

    hiya!
    And my playlists are still on the left side in my iTunes. They do exist.
    let's just doublecheck this. folks get this message if they have "automatically update selected playlists only" selected in their itunes "ipod" preferences tab. so bring up that tab ("edit > preferences", click "ipod" while the ipod is showing up in the source list), and do a playlist by playlist crosscheck of the playlists selected in that tab, and the playlists showing up in the itunes sourcelist.
    is there any playlist selected in the preferences tab that isn't showing up in the sourcelist?
    love, b

  • I want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized?

    i want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized? also how can i update the software?

    This is a tedious solution, which is stupid!  And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization.  I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
    And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

  • Cannot update to 3.5 on older MacPro and 3.5 not compatible with 3.4.5

    It appears that you cannot update Aperture to 3.5 on older Macs. Worse yet the new update is not compatible with the previous version.
    The questions are  ---
    Is this a temproary issue or a permanent issue?
    Can I regress back to version 3.4.5 to get my compatibility back ?
    I have multiple computers I use to work on my photography.
    I use a older Mac Pro Vintage late 2007 that cannot be updated beyond OS 10.7.5. This is currently my primary photo computer.
    With 3ghz Quad cores and over a terabyte of drive space no need to update yet except for not being able to load the latest OS.
    I also use a MacBookPro Vintage Late 2011 and it was just updated to Mavericks. I use this to edit my photos on the go.
    I will consider updating to the latest Mac Pro when it becomes available but what to do until then and a warning to others.

    Actually, I had this same problem - accidentally upgraded my library on my Mac Air to 3.5, but am not running Aperture 3.5 on any of my other, older Macs.  I *was* able to downgrade the library back to 3.4.5.  BAsically, I had to open the library on a computer running Aperture 3.4.5 in library repair mode (holding down command and option when opening).  In the ensuing dialog I had to choose to rebuild the library.  I first tried just repairing, and it seemed to work, but next time I opened Aperture I got the "library can't be opened iwth an older version of Aperture" message.  Rebuilding it seems to have done the trick.
    A more detailed explanation (though not written for this particular scenario) is here:
         http://www.apertureexpert.com/faq/common-aperture-questions-issues-and-rep/how-d o-i-repair-or-rebuild-my-aperture-library-or-permission.html
    Having restored the library to 3.4.5 format, I downgraded Aperture on my Air to 3.4.5 as well and it's been smooth sailing.  Just make sure you have Mavericks set up to *NOT* automatically update your apps, or you'll end up in the same situtation all over again when it silently upgrades Aperture to 3.5 again.
    Good luck!

  • Ipod cannot update. The required file cannot be found?? Any help please.

    Hi,
    I like many others have major problems with my Ipod, we downloaded the Itunes 6 , removed it, went back to 4.9, connected the Ipod, everything got erased. ( but it was still on the computer thank goodness, anyway now I can't put anything back on to my Ipod, it say "Ipod cannot update. The required file cannot be found"
    I have Windows Xp Pro 2, what can I do, please lead me in the right direction.
    Thanks

    OK - Looks like your iTunes is working and has the songs you expect in it. No need to uninstall iTunes.
    Are the Playlists on the iPod only, or are they in iTunes only, or are they on both? Are they populated with the songs you expect?
    You can save the Playlists by 'Exporting' them individually to a PC file. Within iTunes, select (highlight) a playlist, go to File==>Export Song List and save the file to a 'Playlists' folder that you create. Save the playlists as a .txt and an .xml file (do both for each playlist: data redundancy is good).
    Do you have the original photos that are on the iPod? We will have to Restore the iPod and all data on it will be erased. As you have all the necessary music on iTunes, all we would be concerned about are the photos. Or anything else you haven’t mentioned.
    As long as you are satisfied with the state of your iTunes (all music and playlists present and accounted for), then you can comfortably Restore the iPod and place it all back on the unit. Restoring an iPod will not impact your iTunes. It just clears off the iPod's HD and replaces the operating system with a fresh copy. This should correct your inability to download any additional music to the iPod.
    Before you proceed with the Restore below, make sure that you have copies of all the data on the iPod so you do not lose anything.
    First, make sure that the iPod is fully charged.
    Make sure that you have the latest iPod Updater software (if you already do, skip to *)
    You also need to install the new Updater software (if applicable) by double-clicking on the file that downloads.
    After you install the Updater to your PC, reboot your computer.
    After rebooting, run the Updater.
    * Go to: Start ==> Programs ==> iPod.
    It should initialize then ask you to connect an iPod.
    Connect the iPod when asked (not before) and you should have two options available: Update or Restore.
    -- Choose the Restore option and it will update your iPod's firmware to the latest version and format your iPod's hard drive.
    After the Restore complete, re-register the iPod with iTunes, choose your syncing preference and place the music back on the iPod. Do whatever it is you do with the photos (I just have a mini, so no experience with photos), and you should be good to go.
    Post back if you have any questions. Especially if you are unsure of anything before you perform any additional processes.

    Relocate iOS device backups
    Assuming you're running Windows Vista or later you can use the following steps:
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: type in this command (on one line) and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command (on one line) and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your target drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    In some cases (perhaps depending on what builds of iTunes were installed in the past) it seems the folder is in the \Local\ branch of AppData rather than \Roaming\ in which case edit to suit.
    If you're still running Windows XP you can use Junction (cmd line tool) or NTFSLink (shell ext). In both cases you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then use the tools to get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.
    Note that while this method works for iOS device backups it cannot be used to redirect sections of the media library.
    If your iTunes library is on the C:\ drive with the media folder held elsewhere then see also make a split library portable.
