Creative media center upgrade for ver 1.00.12 for Audigy 2

I've looked everywhere, but I could not find the upgrade to this. This thing came with a cd, and I installed it as normal. I could not upgrade the other stuff like THX, EAX, CMS ver 2.0 and more. The only thing I can do is add that cd-burner patch.

Sound blaster Audigy LS, creative media center and creative playcenter wont install on

Hello. I have a sound blaster Audigy LS card in my computer, it came as a bundle in my Sony Vaio that I bought in october of last year. I wanted to download the creative media center, or the creative playcenter. I went through the process of downloads and support and tried to run them on my computer it either says Setup is unable to detect supported product on your system. Click retry button to redirect your device and continue the installation. I've tried clicking retry and and the same message comes up. I have Screenblast Sound Forge . for VAIO and Screenblast ACID 4.0 for VAIO and wonder if thos two audio programs (came with the computer also) are in conflict with installing creative products? The operating system i am using is windows xp media center edition version 2002. Thanks in advance for anyone that can help me.

Hi All,
I am pretty much in the same boat but with an Audigy 2 Value Sound Card.
Removed some old piece of rubbish card (6MB Aztech PCI 288 Q3D using a Trident 4DWave-NX Chip.... yes about 6 yrs old !) in my daughters pc and replaced it with the new one.
Same error message i.e. hardware not detected... ihave already posted as im trying to find and install the right drivers. I have also tried the PCI-slot hopping etc etc.
So what next people ?

[request] Jriver Media Center 19 for linux

It would be very nice a package for Jriver Media Center 19 for linux.
Reference here:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=35.0
I have installed manually in my system. It's a 32 bit package and it needs lib32-curl 7.23.1 (not the last one in repository).
You can see my discussion here:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=84651.0
Luckly requirement for libcrypto++ and libboost-regex has been dropped!
I remember that this Media Center is one of the best ever made. The version for linux is Audio only, but can play also DSD bitstream.

5600-VTDR256 (Alternative to Media Center II for watching TV)

Hello, I would like to know if there is any alternative application that I can use to watch TV instead of Media Center II.
I would really hope that there are other softwares available that play out anything that the nVidia WDM drivers give them.
Reasons for shifting are:
[list=1]
When watching TV on Media Center the bottom 2 inches of screen are cropped in the software, and the picture is very slightly narrowed (as in its made a square forcefully)
Media Center always mutes my Wave/Mp3 sound on startup and on exit doesn't fix this and put the Line In on full.
Media Center on exit turns on the power management icon in the task bar which appears after reboot, and I have to turn off the option (Always show power management icon in task bar) manually.[/list=1]
If anyone can help out it'll be really appreciated.

do a search of these forums and/or google them for reviews/pros/cons of the following MCD II alternatives:
Dscaler 4.1.8 (i use this for watching TV)
WinampTV
VirtualVCR
FlyTV
ChrisTV
intervideo winDVR (i use this for timeshifting and recording)
powerDVR (or whatever it is called from cyberlink)
good luck.
sorry i can't help with your errors on MCDII. i had similar issues and deleted it.
regards

Creative Suites 4, upgraded to ver. 5.5 and still having problem

I posted a previous question, but couldn't figure out how to add something to the thread (?!) Also, I mistakenly described it as "Adobe Resource Manager". It is called "Adobe Resource Synchronizer".
I notice my fan starting to work too hard, so I look in my Activity Monitor and see that "Adobe Resource Synchronizer" is using upwards of 80% of the system resources and keeps going, as much as 98% of system resources! So I "quit" the process and the fan dies back down.
It happens almost everytime I work on the computer, and then it's O.K. after I turn it off. But what is it doing? Am I shutting off some necessary process needed by Creative Suite? What is it attempting to do. It can't possibly be right to use so much of the system resources and almost overheat my computer!
Sorry I had to start this as a new thread. I was logged in, but couldn't find a way to add to the previous discussion.

There are a few possible reasons for preferences such as the home page not being saved, for details see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved

PE5 add-in for Vista Media Center

I upgraded from PE$ -> 5 a while ago and noticed that I lost the media center icon for photoshop elements.
How do I get this to work with PE5? I see the Digital Home files and have done a uninstall and re-install of the app already..
Thanks

PSE 5 does work under Vista Home Premium.
What is the media center icon?

NO profiles on Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center?

Hello,
We have one desktop and on laptop running windows 8.1. We purchased two copies of Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro Pack and upgraded them to Windows 8.1 Pro. After joining the domain, it seems to be working fine for one day. Over the weekend,
the user tried to log back on, it doesn't have any profiles. Do a Ctrl+Alt+Del, there is nothing to enter the username/password. It just have the left arrow. When clicking on the left arrow, it goes back to the screen that says "Press
Ctrl+Alt+Delete to sign in." We have run chkdsk /f and look at the profile list in the registry and they look correct. The only way to look in is using Safe Mode. We have disable all the non-MS services and startup items and
still have the same issue with NO profile and cannot log in.
Also, in Safe Mode, we were able to leave the domain but still have the same issue.
We have system image and try to restore it, it says something about not having an admin account. Seems very strange since there are two admin accounts.
We have other Windows 8.1 PRO (with NO media center) workstations joining the domain and do not have this issue. This seems to happen Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center upgraded from 8.1. We could reformat the drives and reinstall everything but
it happens twice on one computer an once on the laptop. It will probably happen again.
Created new admin accounts, and enable the default administrator account but still cannot see anything in normal mode.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue and know why this happened?
Thank you!

Hi,
Did you mean the sign in input box without problem under Safe Mode?
If yes, sign in with one administrator account to create a new administrator user in safe mode, and then boot into normal mode to check the result.
If it could sign in the new user without problem, follow this guide to fix your another user profile.

If you have no any administrator account, no method unless do an in-place upgrade installation to fix:

Adding Media Center feature not an option on Win 8.1 Pro

Found the instructions below most helpful in terms of adding a Windows Media Center upgrade key to my Windows 8.1 pro (full, clean install) and the option "add features to Windows 8.1" is not an option listed...(The only option showing is "turn
windows options on and off")... Therefore, the path for purchasing or adding this feature seems impossible to find.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/19680.adding-windows-media-center-to-windows-8-1-pro.aspx
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/feature-packs
Two questions:
1. Should I be able to use the older Windows 8 Media Center Pack product key, if able to get to that point?
2. Why am I not able to find the "add features" option, having looked from multiple directions?

You don't say that you attached the iso to the VM. The easiest way to do
that is to connect to the VM and then on the console, pull down the
"Media" menu, Select "Insert Disk", then browse to the ISO and select it.
Then under the "Action" menu, select "Reset".
You can also mount an iso in the settings for the VM.

Bootcamp and Media Center 2005

I have a full version of media center intended for any pc and whenever i try to install it on my macbook pro via leopard, the entire install process will go through, but after install i boot to windows and i get a disk error. Any ideas. I was able to install this exact same OS via the bootcamp beta, and even after the upgrade to leopard, the MCE 2005 os worked. But after i did a comlete os install of leopard, i can no longer use leopards boot camp to install this os successfully. Any ideas, or where can i get a old copy of bootcamp beta?

I just installed Windows w/Media Center 2005 on my iMac core2duo 2GHz 2GB ram with Leopard two nights ago. I received the same issue on my first install attempt. Boot camp creates a Fat32 partition, so I used the convert to NTFS when I installed Media Center. I thought it worked until the restart. I had to reformat the partition NTFS and install again. This time with no problems.

Creative Media Source - PC Music Library Corrupt

0Creative Media Source - PC Music Library Corrupt? After doing some backup utilities on my music archi've, and relocating them to a new larger dri've, I am now receiving messages that my PC Music Library is corrupt, and is unusable. All of my playlists are gone, and I can't make new ones. it attempts to access a backup copy of the PC Music Library, fails at that as well, then reports it will make a new one. This fails as well, and the message recommends to repair the Microsoft jet Databse Engine and the MDAC, etc.
So naturally, I go to the Microsoft website, as instructed by Creative, and that's about as useful as you'd expect...none.
I have attempted to delete what remains of the old one, both via Media Source and Windows (XP),? and have even reinstalled media source. The problem persists. I'm less concerned about recovery of the old playlists than I am simply starting over with new ones (it was time for a redo anyways).
Media Source itself works fine in all other apsects. It can read files, play music, and interact with my Creative Zen Xtra device. But it's all useless if I can't make playlists for use on the PC and transfer to the Zen.
Anyone have any ideas? I just want to be able to use my stuff again.

Re: Creative Media Source - PC Music Library Corruptn Wasn't aware that it was possible, and haven't seen anything that tells how it could be done. Typically I make my playlists in Creative Media Center, in Organizer mode. As I'm pawing through the archi've and want to add a specific track to a playlist, I? right-click>add to playlist, select the playlist from the drop-down, and move on.
After deleting the old corrupted playlist files, and starting over from scratch, here is what happens:? I attempt to add a track to a playlist...no playlists exist, so I create one on the spot. Upon submitting the info, CMS crashes. ? I reopen CMS, now the PC Music Library is corrupted again, the backup is corrupted, and no playlists exist, etc. At that point, I can delete the playlist files again, and start the process over again (resulting in the same: CMS crashes and I have corrupted playlists.)

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 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

Media Center upgr

I recently installed a new version of Creative Media Center when I purchased my Zen Micro. It works great for the Mp3 player but I miss some of the features of the old Media Center version. I still have an old soundblaster installation CD with the old version on it. Can I install both versions on my PC without conflict? I am running Windows XP. If so, how?

Yes, Creative Media Source. The new version does not burn some of my wma files directly from the PC Music Library. I can get around this with some hassle and loss of quality. The old version burns any file format with the accompanying tags. My thought was to install the old version in a seperate file. I'm worried about conflicts with shared applications etc.

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
