Dont install latest drivers!

The latest drivers FUBARED my system, that was after a freash reinstall. Way to go creative

Sorry to hear Creative havent been able to solve their problems with their drivers yet.. if its even possible..
I have had my Fataity board for two years now, and I've always had to adapt my system around the X-Fi to make it work without it producing audio distortions.
Some motherboards work, some not. And it seems its not even chipset dependent, may lay in motherboard BIOS.
I've used the X-Fi card in my old system, Asus A8V. Replaced it after several days of testing and troubleshooting to a MSI-brand board, same VIA chipset. Problems went away.
Same thing happened when I upgraded my system recently.
Had to replace the motherboard again..
I have tried every imaginable bios setting, tried forcing different PCI latency settings (worked for short periods of time, but often resulting in compromised system stability). Also tried all basic troubleshooting like different driver versions, reinstalling OS, trying different drivers and SATA controllers, running the system with bare minimum of hardware and speed to minimize the risk of something else causing the X-Fi to suffer at the hands of the PCI bus..
Using the same X-Fi card in my system now without a hitch.
Running Vista x64, Abit AB9, 4Gb DDR2, Intel Core Quad Q6660, nVIDIA 7950GT.
Some are lucky, some are not.

About T410S frezze problem.(I read all relate topic and using latest drivers)

Hi all, I bought a new T410s in Lenovo US online shop in Jan 2011.

i5 560M
4G RAM*1 (added another 4G by myself)
Intel 160G SSD
Switchable GPU/ Intel HD+NVS3100M
Mulit-touch screen

Intel 6200 AGN WIFI card.
OS: Windows 7 x64

I have a despairing frezze problem of this T410S. It's totally random. when it happened, everything is frezzed and the computer is totally dead.
I read the related topics in this forum, my T410s DON'T have overheat issue, when using integrated graphic card, the CPU
temperature is about 50C/122F, the fan speed is about 3000.
I also installed latest drivers form lenovo website, and the machine BIOS is v1.41.
I tried:
Remove the 4G memory which added by myself. ---No effect
Disabled the switchable graphic card in BIOS. -----No effect
help~plz~ . bcz it's a new machine, I do not want ask lenovo to replace the motherboard.
Any suggestions?
ThinkPad T410S, X61T, T42
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and welcome to the forum!
If BIOS' downgrade doesn't fix it, then try booting from LiveCD of Ubuntu, if the system also freezes in linux then it would be hardware issue, try running complete system test through ThinkVantage toolbox.
Keep us posted.

HOW TO: Install LATEST ATI CATALYST drivers

So ATI/AMD doesn't consistently update the "BootCamp" drivers and as a gamer I want utmost performance out of what I have (of course without OCing). Therefore, I went searching for a solution and found it and I will explain it here, step by step. Forgive me if this has already been posted. Note that I did this in XP and NOT Vista.
1. Download the latest CATALYST drivers from here:
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/radeonx-xp
2. Open the driver software as if you were going to install it and let it extract to its default directory. Take note of what that directory is as you will need to know that file path for later. Once it extracts it will move on to an installation. Stop/cancel the installation the first chance you get.
3. REMOVE your currently installed ATI drivers. There are two ways to do this:
-1. If you downloaded the actually CATALYST Software Suite, there will be a program in the folder to where it extracted called "AtiCimUn" that will remove your drivers.
-2. Google "remove ATI drivers" and I think it's the first link that tells you a detailed step by step method of removing the drivers.
4. Restart after successfully removing the drivers.
5. Download MobilityModder here: http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php
-If you scroll closer to the bottom of that page, there will be a download link AND instructions for the PROPER method of installing MobilityModder.
6. Run MobilityModder
7. Browse to the directory where the drivers are installed.
8. Click "Modify"
9. When the modification is complete, close MobilityModder and Right Click on "My Computer" then click on Properties
10. Click the "Hardware" tab
11. Click on Device Manager
12. At least one device should have a yellow circle with a black question mark in it. For me, Windows saw it as a "VGA Controller". Right click it and click "Update Drivers"
13. It will ask you some stuff about if you want Windows Update to look for drivers, say "No not this time" and click next
14. Select "Install from a list or specific location{Advanced) and click next
15. Select "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install"
16. Click on the "Have Disk" button
17. Browse to the folder where the ATI drivers were extracted to (MobilityModder will have rewritten the modified files to the same location)
18. The specific file you are looking for is a Configuration file whose icon looks like a white notepad with a yellowish cog that has some metal rod going through it. Click on it and click "open"
19. At this point Windows should recognize which card you have specifically, if not, it will have the entire list of cards that driver can update. If you run into that, just find it in the list.
20. Let windows copy the files, if it tells you that the drivers are not digitally signed, say "continue anyway". It's just an effect of the MobilityModder modifying the files and since it doesn't have a certificate, it's not considered signed.
21. When it's done click finish.
22. Restart
23. Happy new drivers
I'm thinking you might be able to skip the MobilityModder part and just skip straight to directing Windows right to where the drivers are instead of having to mod the files. I'm not sure if it works because I haven't done it but you're welcome to try. If it doesn't work it just means you have to use MobilityModder.
I hope this helps.

Update: After using the method described above the drivers did install successfully however, when I loaded some games I noticed that they did not take up the whole screen. No amount of changing the resolution solved the problem.
So I completely removed the drivers and loaded unmodified drivers. I had to find my x1600 from the list and there were actually two but I just took the first one. I let Windows copy the files after warning that it can't confirm they were for my hardware. After a restart I tried my games again and they were taking up the whole screen as they did when I had BootCamps outdated drivers.
So I can say that you CAN skip steps 5-9 (the steps for the mobility modding). You'll just have to find your drivers and some of them do show up multiple times. I'm probably going to try the other x1600 listing just to see what happens. I'm not sure if there's a difference between the same listings (mine was Radeon x1600 followed by another Radeon x1600) but I'm assuming there is or else ATI would put so many >.<

Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers? I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive. All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro

Hi Everyone,
Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers? I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive. All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro.
The bootcamp drivers have been downloaded from apple's website. Filename: BootCamp5.0.5033
I have a iMac 27" late 2013 model.
NOTE: I have downloaded the drivers manually from apples support site as the bootcamp wizard fails third of the way through the download.
Appreciate any assistance.
Regards,
asdutoit

There is a missing point in this thread, and it is that the Boot Camp drivers for the Late 2013 iMac can only be downloaded from Boot Camp Assistant. The Boot Camp drivers available in the Apple site are not compatible with that iMac.
Delete the Boot Camp drivers from the USB drive, open Boot Camp Assistant and try to download the Boot Camp drivers again. If you get a message telling you that they could not be downloaded, I would try reinstalling OS X through OS X Recovery, by holding down Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up

I am trying to reinstall winows 7 on my iMac and it will not install. I am using the latest drivers ( v4.0) but I still get the black screen. I have made sure that the auto install and the drivers are at the root level on my USB flash drive.

I am reinstalling W7 on my iMac and keep getting the black screen. I had installed W7 before when using Snow Leapord but W7 doesn't want to install with the latest drivers (v4.0). W7 was working with Lion but I had to uninstall W7 and now I cannot reinstall.

NOTE: Just discovered that Adobe is making a bigger mess than any previously.
They now have a 32-bit uninstaller for Flash '''''AND''''' a separate 64-bit uninstaller for Flash. You will need the 64-bit uninstaller for what you had installed above.
*32-bit uninstaller: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_32bit.exe

How to Install Latest SB Live Drivers Onto New Install of

I upgraded to a new motherboard and CPU and have just installed a fresh new copy of Windows XP on the machine. I haven't plugged it in yet, but I will be installing a SB Li've Value CT4830.
In preparation for installing this card, I tried to download the latest drivers, but the web site says that in order to install the latest driver, I must already have the driver from July 2002 installed.
Where can I get the July 2002 driver? It can't be on my original CD since I bought the card before 2002.
I am trying to do a minimal install of drivers, and do not need or want to install any non-essential appliction software, unless its necessary to get surround sound.
If it matters, XP Service Pack 2 is installed.Message Edited by anthonyanthony on -25-2004 02:25 PM

Same thing here with me. I recently got a new system but kept my Soundblaster
card (Li've Platinum 5.) and with it a fresh install of XP SP2. I knew I would
have to use the Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe driver update because the origi-
nal CD could not be used (same as you). So I was doing a fresh install of the
Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe with no pre-existing Soundblaster stuff installed (save
for the XP Soundblaster drivers).
So here is what happened:
* ran Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe; did the typical install
* sound is ok -- however, I ran the diagnostics and the mixer, soundfonts, and
one other one (the last item, forgot which one it was) failed
* tried to start the mixer to verify the mixer failure and the familiar "CTDevcon.dll
has failed" message came up
I have had this happen to me before in trying to install the Li'veDrvUni-Pack and I did
manage to get everything working again but I forget how. I believe it involved running
the CTzapxx program which I did try but XP keeps on putting in the default Sound-
blaster drivers after rebooting. I think this might be the problem (the fact that the
default drivers keep on getting installed) but I can't remember how to get around it.
Moderators/experts/technicians -- any ideas?

No sound after installing the latest drivers

After installing the latest drivers for X-fi xtrememusic, 2.8.003 I have no sound. Also my creative console is stuck in Entertainment Mode, it won't switch to any other mode. Help please?

?My best guess is this is some bizarre driver/registry problem, since it mostly works perfect in XP, but barely at all in Vista.
Well, i don't have a solution for you, but if your soundcard + hub act like that even under xp after a few weeks i would suggest to get a replacement, cause there might be a hardware-error that causes your problem. A software/driver problem sounds very unlikely to me. That your having problems under Vista, isn't strange at all, cause there are still no final drivers relaesed for Vista and the support of the hub is rather barebone at the moment. Stormblade

How can I convert MiniDV tapes to DVD? I've use a Canon GL 2 and an iMac about 1 year old. I'm trying to use iMovie and I've installed the latest drivers.

How can I convert MiniDV tapes to DVD? I've use a Canon GL 2 and an iMac about 1 year old. I'm trying to use iMovie and I've installed the latest drivers.

MiniDV was a great format, one I still use often. I also still use iMovie HD6 to process it and, for all the iterations of iMovie that followed it, I still believe it was one of Apple's greatest movie software programmes, next to Final Cut Pro, using a timeline method of editing. That was also in the day which Apple put Superdrives into their computers, so that you could not only make your movie in iMovie, but you could render it to iDVD and then burn the DVD. Now you need to buy an external burner.
Since iMovie HD6 and iDVD 6 were "universal" software, it has continued to work through the many OS releases since it came out with Tiger, I believe it was. So, it may still work with Mavericks too and, if you could locate a copy of iLife 06, probably used, you might enjoy the difference that HD6 has over all iMovie releases since then.
Not saying you can't process your MiniDV with current iMovie versions, but I'm not the one to speak about that.

Nvidia drivers dont install on windows 8

Hi, im trying to install drivers for my gtx 670m vga on windows 8 and its imposible.
With original drivers it says there is no hardware compatible.
With modded inf it recognize card and start install but stop with an error installing the driver.
Using the "i have a disk" method it locates the driver but it says that the driver is missing files or it has a wrong hash.
So, i think my problem is that because i need a modded driver windows recognize it and doesnt let me install, so is there a ways to bypass windows security with drivers install?
if not.
Can anyone send me a valid nvidia gtx 670m BIOS or a way to mod my bios with vendor and subsystem ID to flash to mine so i can install nvidia drivers without mod them?
Thx in advance. I will really apreciate help because right now the only thing that isnt working is my vga.

SOLVED
Just press win+I then select configure PC
Inside that go to general, troublesoting,
And there there is an option to restart without the signature check on drivers
^^

I upgraded my 2g 8gb itouch to 4.2.1, now itunes will not recognise it. i do have all the latest drivers installed

If you did all the troubleshooting here, iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, did you also try to remove all Apple related software and reinstall iTunes again? Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Installing bootcamp drivers for windows 7 on a mid-2009 13 inch macbook pro?

Is the only way to install the win 7 bootcamp drivers on a mid-2009 macbook pro through the snow leapord discs?
Or is there a download somewhere? i couldn't find any.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The Snow Leopard disc that came with the computer has got Boot Camp 3 drivers, and the latest drivers for your Mid 2009 MacBook Pro are Boot Camp 4. As you are using OS X Lion, you can download them from Boot Camp Assistant or from the Support page > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630

Dont install latest drivers!
