There is no 64 bit driver for XP64.
There is a XP32 bit driver that is supposed to work with x64, but it has issues and hasn't been updated in well over
a year.
As the above quote illustrates, there seems to be a difference of opinions as to the existence of a real 64bit driver.
Since I use the 32bit, I will simply repeat my statement that a driver is offered.
But curiosity requires me to wonder why the question exist?

USB External Hard Drive Question for the E4200 v1 router

I know this is going to be a really dumb question, especially coming from a computer tech of 25 years, but I'm going to ask it just to be safe.
First off, my router is the E4200 v1. It's a substitute for my older WRT54GS router. One of the features I am quite fascinated with is the USB external drive usage. Here's my question. I have a Western Digital My Passport Essentials 500 GB external drive (Model #WDBAAA5000ABB-02) that I want to use on it. I know it's not on the Official List of tested USB storage devices for the Linksys E4200 but I really want to use it, especially for storage on my three computer systems. My question is do I need to unplug the router power supply BEFORE I plug in the external drive to the USB port on the back, or does it matter?
Any help is appreciated. Again, I know it's a dumb question, but the guides and "How-To" on the Linksys website isn't exactly clear. Thanks in advance!

Errr... Nevermind. I think I found a better way to use the external drive without the use of the router. Thanks anyway.

Thunderbolt drive questions for the new Imac

Hello:
I would like to know anyone here use a thunderbolt drive that runs at 5400rpms for any audio or video sessions? I been looking around for 7200rpm thunderbolt and looks the 1TB and 2TB are running at 5400rpms and not 7200rpm. I will be using both Logic and protools?
Any help would be great thanks,

External hard drive question for using iTunes -- iPod

Hello, I have my music stored on an external hard drive and want to keep it there (it's too much for my laptop). I can drag the music into itunes on my laptop and create playlists then get the music to my ipod during the same session.
However, if I come back weeks later then try and access the music on my external hard drive via iTunes, it does not recognize the file location. It asks me to locate EVERY single song, which is ridiculous.
Is there any way so that I can keep my music on my external hard drive and keep any songs and playlists intact so I don't have to start from scratch every time?
The only thing I can think of is just putting a small amount of music on my laptop, which would work but defeat the goal of only storing it on the external hard drive.
The other option I saw on one of the other posts was by consolidating the library on a new folder on the external hard drive, but I don't have enough free space on the external drive to make a duplicate copy of everything.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
DK

Make an alternate iTunes library and have it stored on the external drive.
Now, every time BEFORE you start iTunes on your laptop, make sure the ex HD is plugged in and recognized by the laptop's Windows operating system.
If you open iTunes before connecting the ex HD, guess what - you'll get a new blank library or corrupt library that can't find the files.
The directions for making a different iTunes library are here

Driver Question for Andrew (HP) or Anyone Else:LaserJet CM2320nf MFP, 2600n

This has been posted by me in threads but keeps getting lost in betwixt 1000's of others - so I'm starting anew
Will there be a driver for the HP LaserJet CM2320nf MFP that allows scanning,
and for the LaserJet 2600n that allows printing?
Both under warranty and for both I get nowhere from HP (support, telephone, email).
I'm rolled back to 10.5.8 until my office can use these, or I go to Windows after 25 years on a Mac.

HP is steadily rolling out new drivers, but this is not an Apple problem since HP supplies the drivers. Apple did recently release the HP Printer Drivers 2.1 update a couple of days ago. You can install it to see if drivers for your printer have been supplied. However, only HP can tell you if and when new drivers will be available for both printing and scanning.
Meanwhile you could try VueScan that may support scanning on your device. Or you could try installing the SANE TWAIN driver (may or may not support scanning for your device.) Both can be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
In general it's always a good idea to avoid upgrading in a business environment until you know that all your hardware is supported by manufacturer updated drivers/software. Apple is not responsible for this.
Of course if you think it's less expensive to move to Windows (assuming it supports your hardware) then perhaps that's what you should do.

Driver question for SoundBlaser Live 5.1 card installed in D

Greetings:
I have just completed a clean install of WXP and SP2. Is it better to use the SoundBlaster 5. driver on the Dell site or the one on the Creative Labs site? It looks like there are several to choose from on the Creative Labs site. Can someone please indicate the proper choice?
Thank you.

Thanks Shingo-Y:
I saw a driver on the Creative Lab site listed as SoundBlaster 5. Li've for Dell and thought this might work but perhaps I should play it safe and just install my original driver from the Dell CD.
Thanks for your reply.

Quick Driver Question for G31M3-V2

I just bought a G31M3 V2 on sale from Frys with a E5200. I also bought a new SATA drive at the same time. I installed Vista x64, last night (cleanly with a reformat), on an IDE drive that I had, and I was trying to get the system to see my SATA drive. I Popped in an Ubuntu CD so I could use the live portion to see if I could see the SATA drive. I could see it, and I formatted it to NTFS. I also placed some files on there to test it out. The drive was working perfectly and Ubuntu has full access to it. But I still can't see it in Windows.
Vista doesnt even see an "unidentified device" or anything. I keep trying to install the drivers from the Mobo CD, but I can't get any of them to install.
I went to the drivers online (http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1449) and downloaded "Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver". When I try to run it, I get the message: "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. Setup will exit."
I have no idea what to do to get Vista to see my drive. I have re-installed Vista 3 times already to try different things, and at no time has the drive been detected. But Ubuntu continutes to be able to see and access the drive. What do I do?

Success and Failure at the same time.
I decided to go to bed, since it didn't look like I was going to get any more help today, so I went for the shut-down. I clicked the windows button, and accidentally hit the power symbol instead of that little arrow that gives you the options of shut down, restart, hibernate, etc. The power button just suspended the machine, and when I got back into Vista to do a proper shut down, the machine said it had identified my SATA drive! I went and looked and yes, it was there, with all the files I had put on it as well! I opened up a few of them and they all worked. I was happy that the situation had been resolved and went to do a shut-down again.
But then I decided to do a restart instead, to see if my access to the drive stuck around. I restarted and the HD had disappeared from the drives list! So I tried to recreate what I did previously, I suspended the machine and then logged back it. Yep, the drive had been detected again and it was running perfectly.
So in conclusion, it seems Vista doesn't see the drive unless I suspend the machine first, and then log back in. If I shut down or restart, the drive disappears from Vista, and I have to do the suspension trick again.
What could be the problem?

FW Driver question for Apogee or Saffire Pro Users?

Hi All
I was cruising along without problems using firewire driver 2.0.1fc1-e8 but then updated to 2.0.2fc7-e3 which currently seems to be the driver recommended by Apogee and Focusrite. Within Logic I'm happy with the results as the drop problem with X-Fire card seems to be gone as is dropped lock.
However I've had a few unusual freezes and glitches and a strange finder window opening up at login, and before I start worrying and reinstalling anything, I thought I'd ask if anyone using this driver noticed anything unusual?
This may not even be related to the FWdriver, as I've also installed the last security update and the new QuickTime update since the FW update.

Presently I use a Saffire Le and it's a superb audio interface. Need more inputs now so I should have my Saffire Pro 10 i/o in two or three weeks. I'll let you then.
BTW Focusrite did another update today! You should install it right away!

Hard drive question for the gang

Hey guy's
what would happen, performance wise, if you were to take a new hard drive out of its packaging and just clone it. No format no anything just clone, from a working C drive.
I know the drive will boot and work, but how will it act?
I have 2 Identical drives and 1 was cloned like that to see if it would work. Sandra on that drive 15200
on it's formated clone 28127, is the format the reason?
Jim

Frenchy,
These days they are selling drives so cheap that you have to wonder where they are cutting costs from. It seems to be that they are dropping the Q/C Departments.
As the sizes of drives goes up and prices come down, so does the quality of the drives.
I do hope that the new SATA Drives bring the Quality and reliability back up.

MSI Geforce 3 Ti200 Driver Updates for ME

Why can't the drivers be updated past 44.03 in Windows ME?
Multi-boot two operating systems
Abit KG7-Raid
AMD Athlon XP 1800+
512 MB DDR
MSI Geforce3 Ti-200 TD Pro:
MSI 44.03 drivers with Windows ME
Nvidia 52.16 drivers with Windows XP Pro
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer
Cambridge Sound Works FPS2000 Digital Surround Speakers
NEC 97F 19" Flat Screen Monitor
Linksys 10/100 Etherfast NIC
Maxtor 30 GB HD
IBM 10 GB HD
Yamaha CDRW
Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro
Microsoft Intellimouse Optical
US Robotix 56K modem (until NOV. 20, 2003 when cable broadband available )
I run all my games on WME so that I have more RAM available for the game (XP is memory hog) and because my flight control setup (CH Force FX {14 programmable buttons}, CH Pro Throttle {20 programmable buttons}, CH Pedals) is not recognized in WXP.
I received HALO as a birthday gift. It loaded fine. I ran it and it continually locked up at the main menu screen of the game. The Audio part of the game continued to advance, but the video got stuck. My wife loaded the game and tried to run it and got the same results, she has only WXP for an OS on an MSI K7T 266 Pro 2 RU motherboard. She upgraded her MSI Geforce3 Ti-200 TD Pro drivers from MSI 44.03 to NVIDIA 52.16 and HALO then ran flawlessly.
MSI has upgraded drivers 45.32 and Nvidia has upgraded drivers 45.23. Both of these drivers locked up my machine each and everytime I installed them. My machine runs the NVIDIA 56.12 drivers without any problem on Windows XP PRO. I had to uninstall the MSI 45.32 and/or NVIDIA 45.23 drivers and reload the MSI 44.03 drivers to get WME to boot up. HALO will not run on the 44.03 drivers. One of the techs from microsoft called me at home the last two nights in a row to try and resolve this issue. Conclusion at end of night one was updated video drivers needed to be installed. Conclusion at end of night two was that there was a hardware problem with the the conclusion that video card was not accepting drivers above 44.03 for the Windows Millenium Edition Operating System. There was no listing at either NVIDIA or MSI video driver site for any drivers beyond 44.03 other than NVIDIA 45.23 or MSI 45.32 respectively.
The burning question is this: As with some of the previous NVIDIA drivers are the new releases compatible with all of the operating systems? I ask this because looking in the NVIDIA 52.16 drivers folder that gets extracted I see references in the read me file to W98,W98SE,WME. Why does the MSI Geforce 3 Ti-200 card accept the NVIDIA 52.16 drivers with WXP PRO and not the NVIDIA 45.23 not the MSI 45.32 drivers with WME (and I assume W98 & W98SE?)
Interested in the response.
Thanks.

Judging from the problems I and several other people on the forum have mentioned, there seems to be a problem with the nVidia 45.23 drivers and video. I get a grey screen with vids unless i turn down the hardware accel to almost nothing. Other people can get vid to show on their tv out. So if you havn't tried an older driver version yet, maybe you could use the good old xp driver rollback in the video device properties.

HP ePrint from excel add-in: Error while getting driver name for printer

Trying to use add-in for ePrint from excel/word I get, "error while getting driver name for printer \\...HP DesignJet 800PS 42 by HP," with an option to select "OK" and that same message repeats with each printer in our network, and then it doesn't allow me to print using the add-in. However, I can print normally to HP Go Web, open up Print and Share, then print it from there. This happens with excel and word. I have Office Suite 2007.

Hello modameister,
Sorry you are having issues with this printer and the ePrint add-on. There are a couple of questions I would like you to answer please.
1. What operating system are you using? (XP,VISTA,7,MAC OS X)
2. What and how much data are you trying to print?
3. Have you tried to copy and paste the data into a different application or tried using the snip it tool?
4. Are you receiving any .dll errors (mscms.dll)
Thanks
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
Although I work for HP, my posts and replies are my own opinion and not those of HP.

Creative in the dock over driver issues for older cards and upsetting consumers please read!

To Who this may concern at TOP LEVEL AT Creative's Board It's come to my attention to a very serious issue From Creative,and the story starts from here.
I have just required the Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card so looking to install the latest drivers from CREATIVE'S UK WEBSITE. So I look into the date which is 9/4/200 on Creative's website. However I did abit more investigating into the issues from other consumer's from passed half soaked drivers that Creative are supposed to put right with their half asleep development team(what a joke!!).
AS I did more research? on this issue on the forums and hardware websites, it came across to my attention on a Brazilian I. T. Expert called Daniel Kawakami (surprisesurprise and I don't suppose Creative know anything about him other than trying to kick him the balls for his work to help others with their sound cards very good PR work Creative well done!!!!).So armed with all this information and believe me I have gone into alot of reading in the forums about the issues,and yes Creative Board Of Directors you are entitled to your Copy Rights,for now !!!
So I find out more about this super hero Daniel Kawakami? to Creative's miss givings to put right the Drivers for Consumers let down by Creative, I came across one of the driver updates for the Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card done by Daniel Kawakami, and Bingo most consumer's now have a working drivers by him.
So for all the hard work and precious time this Daniel Kawakami has done for Creative Consumers(including me) YOU SELFISH CREATIVE BOARD OF DIRECTOR'S go and kick him the face, so I will say this to you what about his rights as a creative product consumer? ,his driver copy rights and on top that his right to put things right that your team cannot put right in the first place. This is the EXACT PEOPLE WE NEED IN THIS HIGHLY COMPLICATED IT INDUSTRY, so what do you do you try and do, you bin him.
So Creative I am going to ask some questions and I EXPECT YOU TO ANSWER THEM with me as a CONSUMER OF YOUR PRODUCTS(customer is King not you!!)
1. The drivers you realised on the 9th April 200 are working drivers for the Audigy 2 zs for windows 7 ultimate.
2. So how can you convince me that they are working?
3. At the moment I can only trust Daniel Kawakami's? working drivers, since he has had over whelming praise for his work.What makes me think I can trust you with your drivers.
4. Your Drivers came out on the 9/4/200, Daniel Kawakami's Drivers came out on 9/4/200 its too close a call,since your development Team are too lazy to put things right, how can you convince me that you did not copy his Drivers into your download Driver website(I would not be surprised if you did, as it would certainly be a cost cutting exercise ,and taking away his copy rights for all the work he has done for nothing!!!)
5. Are you going to treat customer and consumers better service and support? in the Future,and that includes me,and 3rd party developers like Daniel Kawakami .
The concussion to all of this, there are lessons to be learned by you Creative for your mis givings and the treatment of customers passed and present and especially the appalling treatment of Daniel Kawakami ,this guy deserves far better for his talent. I Have one message for the President Of Creative ,don't you EVER think you can scare me as a customer and also as Registered? disabled deaf person ,and for that reason I have far more powers you will ever have. For what I have read I am so angry and dismayed when someone like Daniel Kawakami is only trying help others ,but to be treated in this way.
It is only right for me to post this ,because You Creative have hurt? alot people and that includes me. I look forward to the comments and p.m.(if I get any) And Daniel Kawakami? I hope you do read this and all the best for the future ,keep doing what you do ,and once again Creative you should be holding your heads in Shame.
Regards Jonoace U.k.

!!! Creative jamais vai responder.
At seria justo se Creative viesse a publico falar de sua incapacidade e que at onde as placas Audigy funcionariam em Vista e ?7.
Mas por?incompet?ncia, pois nem suas novas placas funcionam direito, se era para vender est? mal.
Problemas de memoria superior a 4 gb e tantos outros que Creative no tem respostas;
Drivers de Daniel e Pax so alternativas, mas que tambm tem muitas limitaes.
Sinceramente acho que esta na hora de Creative vir a publico fazer um relato srio, e descrever claramente as limitaes de sua placas colocando um ponto final emexpectativas frustraes eeng dos.
Chega a ser vergonhoso que placas onboard como realtek funcionem melhor que placas Creative;
Realmente, antes era um sonho e orgulho possuir um produto CREATIVE, tornou-se um pesadelo e uma vergonha.
Mas enfim o que fazer, apenas esperar um momento de honestidade por parte de Creative.
Flavio Kern - Audigy 2 ZS
Creative will never respond. So it would be fair if Creative would publish his inability to speak and that even where the plates Audigy would work in Vista and 7. But by incompetence, since neither her new adapter works right, if it was to sell is poorly. Problems of memory above 4 gb, and so many others that Creative does not have answers; Daniel and Pax Drivers are alternati'ves, but which also has many limitations. I honestly think this time Creative come publico do a serious story, and describe clearly the limitations of your cards by putting an end-point on expectations, frustrations and forgeries. It is shameful that onboard realtek cards like that boards Creative work better; Actually, before it was a dream and pride have a CREATIVE product, became a nightmare and a shame. But anyway what to do, just wait a moment of honesty from Creative.

What are the best affordable external drive options for my iMac ?

Hello,
I am a fairly recent newcomer to Macintosh as my primary personal computing platform. I have recently installed Adobe CS4 Design Premium Student Edition on a late 2006 20in iMac and have several important questions about external hard drives. First of all, everyone knows that using any personal computer (whether you its a Macintosh, or a PC running Windows and/or Linux) without an acceptable way to backup critical data is no different than driving in your car without your seat belt fastened. I need advice for a good external hard disk solution for backup and several other important computing tasks given the following realities
1. Contrary to what I to originally thought, I do not have Firewire 800, but instead have access to dual firewire 400 ports in addition to USB 2.0. My concern over connection speed in regards to Adobe's recommendation to use RAID 0 arrays for scratch disks used by Photoshop CS4. Adobe also recommends that scratch disks for photoshop CS4 are assigned on a hard disk that is not your startup disk. Nontheless, Adobe has no objection to use your startup disk assuming it has plently of Free space (and mine does w/ 189.53 GB available)
2. Do really need RAID 0 to achieve the performance I would need? I had prior Mac based training with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign, in High school. I have not used this software in 4 years and am not only trying to refresh my skills but to learn the software. In other words I am still in the beginner stage With practice and patience, I will certainly learn the software and use it to the best of my creative energies. Given the situation if my work becomes complex enough over time how important is RAID 0 when I make purchase of an external hard disk? I known that the disk utility in Mac OS X allows the user to create a Raid array. This seems like the cheapest way to accomplish the job. However, the purchase of an external Hard Drive must be able to safely backup my system and also provide adequate performance.
3. Speaking of backup, I am one of those users who is still stubbornly clinging to Mac OS X Tiger. However, updating to a new OS has been required ritual for my previous two PCs. That said given that Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard will be out in mere months, I do not see the wisdom now in upgrading to Leopard. After all as a higher education student, money is tight and see Snow Leopard as far more compelling and future-proof upgrade. Snow Leopard is getting better plumbing and will also include Microsoft Exchange Server support (possibly the biggest selling point). I also have interest in using Boot Camp in 10.6 (or 10.5) for running windows software (that are useful for my academics) and games (particularly Half-Life 2 and other Steam games that can run well within my Mac's fairly limited gaming capabilities. If I decide to use Boot Camp I have to partition my internal hard disk. This further complicates finding a very reasonable, affordable, and reliable external disk solution given everything that I have mentioned. Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

I don't think you should worry about the RAID stuff. The only way you could create a RAID is by using external drives, or one those external enclosures with two drives inside. Any speed advantage of such a RAID would be mostly negated by the FireWire 400 connection.
Use your internal drive space for speed critical functions. Use a FireWire 400 external drive for additional storage space, where speed is important but not critical, such as storing your existing media (including your things like your iTunes library files). Use a separate cheaper USB 2.0 external drive for your Time Machine (or whatever method) backup archive, where speed is not that important at all (some people even use a network connection for their Time Machine backup).
You can get a FireWire 800 drive and use an adapter to connect to FireWire 400. The connection won't be any faster on your iMac, but you can use the drive later with a Mac that does have FireWire 800. There are drives that have FireWire 400 and 800, and USB 2.0.
I like the drives sold by OWC
http://www.macsales.com/
I often buy the drive enclosure empty and find a good deal on the hard drive mechanism that I want. OWC sells most of their drives empty. My current Time Machine drive is actually one of these USB adapters
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/U2NV2SPATA/
connected to a Western Digital 750GB SATA drive that I got for about $70. Found that deal through dealmac.com. Couldn't think of a cheaper way to add that large amount of backup space, and it works very well. The internal drive in my iMac is only 160GB, so most of my personal data is on an external FireWire 400 drive; both drives are backed up by Time Machine.

I had made a copy of the main revel file on my mac, and then i put it in my google drive folder for safety. I accidentally deleted one of the two libraries form my iPhone. I opened it up and panicked and thankfully I guess I had a backup of the other library in my spouses phone... but mine is still gone. I don't have them saved to my computer... the pictures are important and I really really need them back. Is there a way for me to get the pictures back from what I believed at the time was a smart way to backup when i made a duplicate of that main mac file to my google drive? The best way to let me know is my email... [email protected] I am really relying on you guys if there is a way?

External drive requirements for FCP - multicam 1080

I am running FCP X on a 2011 iMac i7 with 16Gb RAM, a SSD boot/system drive and the original 2TB HDD for user folders/data.
I have started using FCP multicam editing with 6 1080/30 GoPro events/angles. Without using proxy editing, playback within the angle viewer is very poor - lots of drop outs and pauses - essentially unusable.
I switched to proxy editing and now playback is much better, but when I insert a 'cut' to another angle, there is a 1-2 second pause before playback resumes. Seems like I'm right on the edge.
I am assuming my problem is an old, slow and 60% full internal HDD.
(I may have enough space on the SSD to test working off that drive).
Thus, I am considering using an external drive for the video library, or even moving all the user data off the old internal HDD and onto a much faster and larger TB drive.
My question is around what is 'fast enough'. For instance, will a modern 4TB (TB interface) single drive be 'fast enough' for the example video project without proxy editing? Do I need a multi-drive array for speed? I have been considering something like a Promise Pegasus2 R4 in Raid 5 config with 4x1TB or 4x2TB. I assume that will be fast enough??
Any recommendations?
db

6 1080p angles need a lot of bandwidth.
Working with proxies, as you have, is likely necessary, unless you have a RAID or a large enough SSD.
One other thing is you can try is to keep the angle viewer closed as much as possible. If you know your material well you can cut "blind" by merely using the keyboard shortcuts 1 through 6.
