Driver uninstall/install help nee

hello, I need some help with the driver thing. just so you know, i have a audigy 2 ZS. I have a alienware computer and all the stuff in it came pre-installed. I have no disk for my creative card. it is NOT OEM. I have looked everywhere for this info, but havent found anything. I know i need to install the EAX 4 thing before the updated drivers. ialso know the safe mode driver cleaner routine to.
when you select audigy 2 ZS in the add/remove programs thing, a menu comes up asking if you want to modify, remove, blah, blah. I know i chosse modify, but then a menu comes up with all the components of the software for the card. the only one I found that might be the one i need to remove is the "windows drivers". i assume that this is it, but i want to be sure.
any help on this matter is appreciated. and any help on the installation would be helpful.
EDIT: I intend this to be a routine update, as i'm a gamer. these two updates are all i need, right? I found a reference in a thread to open AL stuff, so what about that? I also have doubts that the EAX4.0 advanced HD and the .84.55 are the most up to date drivers. they are really pretty old...Message Edited by Hillbilly_37 on 09-05-2005 0:55 PM

so its a CPU thing? not a mobo thing? what you said doesent really answer my Q. I hava a Nforce 4 mobo and a Athlon FX-55 64 bit CPU. is it asking for your CPU, or a mobo, or what?
NForce4 is a chipset type used on your ASUS A8N-SLI motherboard. You can find information 'bout chipsets by googling.
Athlon FX-55 64-bit CPU is a 64-bit processor. (!! one of the fastest ATM, BTW)
As an shortly addon to my previous post.
<i>Any i386 specific product (eg. 32-bit) can be used on your system if your system (processor/operating system) can operate in 32-bit mode too. If you use 64-bit operating system, as your system can operate with, then you (normally) need 64-bit drivers for your devices/controllers and 64-bit applications too (perhaps there is some sort of 6/32-bit emulator inside Windows x64, I dunno it).</i>

  • Driver uninstall/install help neede

    Hi. I need some help with drivers. I have a SB Audigy 2 ZS, and I'm updating my drivers to the latest version, .85.55(thats what it says on the desktop icon) and EAX 4.0 Advanced HD. I have driver cleaner to clean up any remaning parts of the old drivers, and I know I need to install the EAX driver first.
    But i don't know if I need to uninstall the EAX console I see in the modify menu for creative in Add/remove programs. It says I need to uninstall EAX 4.0 if I want to install new drivers, so do I need to uninstall this version of EAX? or do I just uninstall the windows drivers(the drivers for the sound card, I assume) that are listed in the menu and then install EAX 4.0 and then the new drivers?
    Please be as detailed as you can be. Thanks very much.Message Edited by Hillbilly_37 on 07-3-2005 0:7 PM

    Is the card a retail version, if it is not you cannot update from this site. If its a Dell PC its not a retail version.

  • Uninstalling/Installing HELP!!!

    When completing a recent upgrade to iTunes, I received an error message which said that iTunes needed to be uninstalled and reinstalled. When uninstalling, I didn't realize that there was a sequence to uninstalling all the components of iTunes. Now, I can't uninstall two of the components at all and I can download iTunes at all. My problem is not with my iPod, but since it's older than 90 days old, I have to pay for phone support. HELP!!!

    Now, I can't uninstall two of the components at all
    Which two components can't you uninstall, Kansas? What error messages do you get when you try to uninstall them?

  • HT1923 I am trying to run iTunes and have been advised that i must uninstall and install again. However, in Control Panel, I don't have the option the uninstall. HELP!!!

    I am trying to run iTunes. When I do I get this message "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes and install iTunes again. Error 2 (Wiindows error 2)" . However, in Control Panel, there isn't an option to remove or unistall iTunes, only an option to repair.
    Now, when I dowloaded iTunes, i saved it to my flash drive so that i can have it with me whereever I go. I am not sure if the problem stems from there. I also did this so as not to save it on my work computer but still be able to run it from my flash drive.
    Please HELP. I miss my music and podcast.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Just installed a HP Color Laserjet CM2320nf MFP printer, at the same time I upgraded to Lion. It prints fine, but I cannot use the scan functions.  I downloaded the most recent driver! Any help would be appreciated.

    Just installed a HP Color Laserjet CM2320nf MFP printer, at the same time I upgraded to Lion. It prints fine, but I cannot use the scan functions.  I downloaded the most recent driver! Any help would be appreciated.

    HP says that the drivers for your all in one print/scanner are downloadable from apple. For the scanner to use preview. image capture or the scan icon from the print driver queue.  I don't know how old your HP is, but I know that the newer Os from apple don't support a lot of older printers. You might be able find a third party driver that could work.

    New itunes is trying to wipe the ipod. But have many many playlists (many hours making) which I want to save. Any help would be appreciated.

    If you want to just extract the playlists from your iPod, plug it in iTunes.  When it appears under devices, right->click on it and choose Export Playlists.  Save them to a location such as your desktop and them import them into your library once you have copied and imported all of your music back into it.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    MacBook Pro 2010: Flashing folder w/? on not responding to startup keys & I'm trying to install a new hard drive, can anyone help?

    Thanks. It started up com that disk but when I went to install it had an error message (didn't get to write out what it said). So I attempted to restore from time machine but it said there was no space, even though it's a new (replacement under warranty) HGST 1TB HD,  so I did what  I think was right and tried to partition the disk but it now says 'Partition faild...POSIX report...cannot allocate memory'.  im not sure what to do, and I'm trying to remember how the previous hd was installed and formatted for use but that was over a year ago now. Should have erased the hd first or something?

    Reinstall MacFuse with the one from http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-core-10.5-2.1.9.dmg. If that doesn't work, you can use Paragon NTFS for Mac 9.0 which has been designed to work with Lion.

  • HT3986 i installed win 7 on my mac book, and the sound driver was installed successfully, but i don't hear any sound, please help

    i installed win 7 on my mac book, and the sound driver was installed successfully, but i don't hear any sound, please help

    Is the volume muted? Click on the volume icon in the system tray to see if it shows as muted. If that's the case, I know of a workaround to fix this because if you unmute the speakers now, the condition will come back when you reboot your computer. I don't know the exact steps off the top of my head at the moment as I'm not in front of my machine. Check this first and reply if muting was the problem and I will detail the steps needed to fix the problem.

    You need to use the computer's original disks or a retail Mac OS X 10.5.6 or earlier DVD which is at least as new as the computer. Another Mac's original disks won't work.

    OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

  • HELP Mac OS X Deleted cannot locate hard drive to install on

    Okay I have a 12' in Apple PowerBook G4 I got in winter 2003 and recently somehow the operating system got deleted. It originally came with Mac OS X Jaguar 10.2.7 and I upgraded it to Mac OS X Panther 10.3 -- at the time the problem occurred it was running 10.3.9 Ran Apple Hardware Test using PowerBook CD. I used the Quick Test and it found an error. It suggested I shut down, turn it back on and during restart run Apple Hardware Test again having disconnected all peripherals which I have done -- it now wants me to run the Extended test. I will do so and report the results below. When trying to access Disk Utility to repair the disk the only discs it found were the installation discs I put in the drive. The internal hard drive did not appear. So not only did Mac OS X get erased but the drive to install it on does not show up during the installation process. When I try to run from the main disk I get the Finder error that Mac OS cannot be found.
    Okay it is running the Apple Hardware Test Extemded Test for PowerBook version 2.0.5
    Elapsed time was 54 seconds. The error code is **ERROR*CODE***ERROR*CODE**2STF/1/4; **ERROR*CODE***ERRORCODE
    AirPort: No device found
    Logic Board: Passed
    Mass Storage: Error Detected
    Memory: Has not been run yet
    Modem: Device found
    Video RAM: Has not been run yet

    Thanks -- I was afraid of that. I called AppleCare and they said the same thing. Unfortunately, this PowerBook as I think I mentioned earlier -- in case I didn't though I got it in November of 2003 and as such by now the warranty would have expired. Second, I lost my Apple serial number for the PowerBook which is bad when needing to get support from Apple on the product.
    I'll likely as soon as possible buy a new Apple laptop. Most likely a MacBook or a MacBook Pro as I need an optical disc drive (MacBook Air for me is a non starter) as such a new Apple laptop would be cheaper than repairing the existing PowerBook. With the current recession and the bad housing market I'm going to wait a while and then replace it. Just curious if anyone knows what is Apple's policy on buying back old products that don't work anymore. Do they have a recycling program for their Macs also? I know there is one for recycling old iPods.
