Creative Entertainment Center Driv

Hey there,
? I've been looking for the Creative Entertainment Center for XP. Under downloads I can find "[url="http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=&dlcentric=034 2&filetype=&filename=ECUP_PCVTAPP_LB_3_40_2.exe">C reative Entertainment Center 3.40.2[/url]" which is Vista only. I've downloaded this and I've tried to install it anyways and it tells me to get Vista or higher. I'm not about to buy Vista, so can anyone please help me find an older version of the Entertainment Center? Thanks for any help! I've lost my install CD and I reformatted my computer, now my remote won't work. Again, thanks to anyone that can help me!!

Found this.
Doesn't seem to be available on Creative's website.
EDIT:?Seems that's the same thing which is available on the Creative site. Nope, no XP updates and no stand alone installation. If you attempt to install it directly off the CD, you get a Installshield Error. Also, if you attempt to do a custom setup with just installing the Entertainment Center from the CD, you get to 4% and it freezes. This company really sucks at customer service. They do not respond. So many people have begged for updates to this software for XP and their Drivers for Vista are worthless. So basically, you're stuck with a $300 sound card that is better used as a paper weight. This is a thread I made late last year begging for an update.

When is Creative Entertainment Center coming to the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum P

<SPAN>Hi all
<SPAN>Does anybody know if/when Creative Entertainment Center is coming to the Audigy 2 ZS platinum PRO. I have seen it running on the Audigy 4 PRO/ X-Fi on review sites and it appears to be a lot better than our Remote Centre had has a lot more functionality as well as charisma (the graphics look good to).
<SPAN>Are us Audigy 2 ZS Platinum PRO users going to receive this wonderful package, or is it going to be just for those who are privileged to own the X-Fi or the Audigy 4 PRO.
<SPAN>Thanks for any information/updates

Creative doesnt seem to hav plans to release Entertainment center for Audigy 2 ZS. But theres a way to install and use Entertainment center with AUDIGY 2 ZS Platinum/Pro. I first installed the Audigy 4 Modded PAX drivers for Audigy2 ZS with all softwares(i downloaded Audigy 4 ISO) , Then i uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled Audigy 2 ZS drivers , and again installed Entertainment Center, Guess what now Audigy 4 doesnt prompt me that i dont have the required HARD WARE before installation starts, and i can install ny Audigy 4 software(nothing much new though , only Entertainment center and Smart Recorder). and i am now enjoying Entertainment CENTER with my Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and with Audigy 2 drivers!!!!.
I think its not proper on part of CREATIVE not to release Ent. Center for Audigy 2, as the IO box and remote control of Audigy 2 and Audigy 4 are the same( RM-500 remote). so wats the point in keeping Ent. Center just for Audigy 4 and Up?
BELOW IS MY ANALYSIS OF ENTERTAINMENT CENTER, just giving the pros and cons so that Audigy 2 Platinum/Pro Users can decide whether its GOOD or NOT
On the PLUS SIDE
+ it has nice interface
+ Good handling of playlists
+DVD Playback
+Slideshow and presentation support
On the NEAGATIVE SIDE
- Every time u want to perform PAUSE, NEXT TRACK, PREVIOUS TRACK operations the Ent. Center pops up as a FULL screen app. interupting u r current TASK
- Also it is not integrated with MEDIA SOURCE Player,(i.e when u start playing song with ent. center it doesnt get layed with MEDIASOURCE so not DTS Neo:6 Playback!!!)
-Even the Press of CMSS button takes u to the full screen app. again causing INTERRUPTION!!!!!
- Doesn't Have a SEARCH option to search for tracks from thee Library
- No BASS/TREBLE/BALANCE Control thru. it

Creative Entertainment Center

Since Creative has yet to release Win7 updated Creative Entertainment Center software for X-Fi cards, can one install the Creative Entertainment Center 5.0.2 released for X-Fi Surround 5. and get it to work properly instead?
Thanks!

I would like to see official update from Creative for X-Fi Elite Pro - Creative Entertainment Center for Windows 7
But for now we can use only patched Creative Entertainment Center..

Slow down the Creative Entertainment Center Fast Foreward when using the X-FI Remo

Hello,
When watching videos on my computer using the?Creative Entertainment?Center app and the remote with my X-FI SoundBlaster card the fast forward goes from zero to ludicrous speed instantly. I usually end up fast forwarding half way through the file without intending to. Is there a setting or registry or any other adjustment I can use to slow this down to a sane level? A 30 second skip for instance would be wonderful!
Thanks!

Creative Entertainment Center 3.40.21 Update - Proble

Hi, Just thought I would post this so people know that Creative have actually released an update to the Entertainment Center software on Windows Vista, you can get it here, however, I would advise that you don't. I have an X-Fi Fatalty, and as with the previous release of the Audio Console update, this update fails and just freezes during the installation process. Creative, can you guys not actually get a simple piece of software to install and run properly. Better still, why don't you actually get people to test your drivers and software, before releasing them to the public, and causing problems for the customer

Installed and works just fine for me. The only issue I am having is that although it works with 4GB of ram now it wont let my machine power off correctly.

Just set your software DVD player to SPDIF output and make sure the A2ZS is set for SPIDF decode.

Creative Entertainment Center won't browse fi

I've searched the net for an answer to this, but basically whenever I try to browse my pc for files, it simply tells me I have no media files in that folder or dri've letter.
I've managed a workaround where I go into Media Source organizer and have added my tracks, but if I get any new music on there, it would be a pain in the ass to have to keep adding it that way just to be able to access them from the remote screen.
This is really frustrating me at the moment and is the low point of owning this SB X-Fi Platinum.
Also, any news on if we can use a higher resolution? I'm planning on going to a 20 inch LCD this year and want all my stuff to be in high resolution and so far this is the only program that doesn't seem to support it.

Evil_One,
I have not seen that error before here on the forums. RCVisual makes me think perhaps the interface is failing to come up for whatever reason. Anti-virus, Spyware tools, possibly video card driver updates. The program should be trying to switch the screen resolution to 800x600, anything installed that might block that?
Other than that, perhaps somebody else will have seen this and be able to offer something more. If not, direct support from Creative may be more usefull and if need be they can escalate it to be investigated further.

Creative Entertainment Center in windows 7.the remote not working

how i can activate the remote from x-fi fatality champion series.after i change my system form vista to 7 my remote not working.can i install the software from vista?

B? You have Creative Console Launcher, I believe and that is the program you can use to change between audio creation, entertainment and gaming mode. Each mode highlights the card's specialities in that area. You have a vitural multi-track mixer in audio creation mode. You have Dolby and DTS encoder/decoder options in entertainment mode, and you have a generic access to the cards other features in gaming mode.

Creative Entertainment Cen

i use my?Remote with my sound card (Soundblaster Audigy 4 Pro)every time i press a button creative entertainment center opens as much as it is usfell i was wondering if u could put in a option to disable the opening of the entertainment centerand possibly a way to have plugins to use it with other programs instead of gowing with the third party products

Try my driver mod I don't know if fixes for you guys or not But it works with xp it's at www.betanews.com

Entertainment Center in Vista

I've seen some threads of people saying they were having troubles in Vista and such. I can't find anywhere in the support site a link to download the Creative Entertainment Center, why is it so difficult?The CD that comes with the Card install a version of EC that can't fully control Vista. I've seen the thread with links to Vista drivers. I managed to find the installer this topic talks about?(XFXA_VTDRV_LB__04_0076.EXE)?in another site but it just says i can't install cuz it's missing some previous elements os something. So guys, does anyone know some place i can install the Entertainment Center for vista, that can work?Is Creative working on it's?On this thread (http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=9294), the user Howard33 said that he got it to work and that he can even control WMP with it. Let us know please.Message Edited by sangarj on 06-26-20070:45 AM

Entertainment center won't inst

ok, i have checked the foarm for anything like this, but it looks like I am the only one.
basically I returned my old x-fi to bestbuy and got a new one that works, but for some reason it allways freezes when installing or uninsalling the entertainment center. the entertainment center is in the creative x-fi folder but I get a error whenever I try starting it. AppName: rcvisual.exe AppVer: 3.0.34.0 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00c8c08d
I was looking at the regestry files and I did somethign that when ever I pushed the power button on the remote it would show that error, showing that the remote is not defecti've and that it is software related. creative, before you email me agian, don't think I have not tried a clean sweep uninstall, the main problem is that it freezes while trying to unintall the entertainment center and the entertainment center only, if I do a install with it unselected it installs fine, if selected or the only one selected it freezes at 27% or 30%, the folder in my programs bu not working at all. I had all programs off and norton off as well. anyways I think it is a certificate problem or it does not like my dhcp internet which the error reports about. please help thanks

Setup problem of Entertainment Center for Windows 7.

There is a problem with Creative's Entertainment Center for Sound Blaster X-Fi. In the download section for my SB X-Fi Platinum card, the Entertainment Center setup file is only available for Windows Vista and not for Windows 7. Even if I choose compatible mode for Windows Vista it won't work because in the installation process you'll get an error message when it's almost about to finish all the time at the same spot. It would be great if someone could correct this now because it has been like this for a long time.

TV Receiver in Creative Entertainment Cen

Wouldn't a Digital TV receiver component in the Creative Entertainment Centre be a good idea? I don't have Windows MCE and I don't want to buy one as I don't want to have to reinstall my whole system just to get one new component. I have just bought a USB digital TV receiver (Terratec T Hybrid) and the softare that comes with it (Cyberlink PowerCinema) is an intense resources hog, plus it's yet another program that adds yet more automatic services to my system, slowing it down yet further. I think that with Creative Media Source and Creative Entertainment Centre already installed, I've got?an?excellent?piece of?media software already. It's fast and integrates?seemlessly with my soundcard. A TV component would just be the icing on the cake - why isn't one offered by Creative, even as a piad for add-in component for Media Source? This could be used to schedule recordings and enable the usage of a Remote Control (either the one supplied with higher end Audigy Soundcards or one bought seperately) for all the usual TV functions - through the Entertainment Centre, of course. Media Source could also be used to organise archi'ved TV recordings, and download them to a Creative Portable Media Centre. This seems like a no brainer to me. What does anyone else think?

ERROR Cannot Install Entertainment Cent

Hey guys when I try to install the entertainment center from the Audio/EntCntr file on the creative cd...it throws this error message
<img alt="error.bmp" src="http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/0/6/265525/error.bmp">
I have no idea as of what to do, I really want to install this so I can use my remote control.... I saw that some other people have had this problem, but I did not see any posted solutions...Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!Message Edited by Jason-CL on -7-2006 04:0 PM

Are you just exploring the CD and manually trying to run the file install or do you boot up the creative cd and select a CUSTOM install then from there install the program you require.
As i remember you MUST install using the CD Custom feature if you want to add programs at a later date.
If you have the latest web drivers installed and the above fails, try a complete uninstall of the creative drivers. Reboot PC and start again with the original CD and install all the features you require. When you got all you want working sweet then update to the newer web drivers.Message Edited by Pawpaw on -7-200609:38 PM
