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

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 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.

"Entertainment Center" absolutely will not insta

?Ok I am sure I am not the only person who still has this problem. I have combed through the forums to no avail & customer support seems to have zero idea what to do.
Basically, I bought an X-Fi packaged with the RM-800 remote. A great sound device but I get the impression that the remote is a paperweight for most users since you can't, God forbid, just USE IT.
After fighting my way through the Creative CS features w/ no results forrthcoming, a few users here have doen enough of their work for them for me to tell that the issue is, the install of the software doesn't let you use the remote!! You have to dig into the CD & find te "Entertainment Center" which is NOT an option to install any other way. And you need that installed to use the remote...ok fine. Would have been nice if this had been a DEFAULT install or at least an option w/o hunting it down in like 3 posts in the uder forums, Creative. Nice flub.
I get the feeling they don't let you intall Entertainment Center because it's obsolete & is only there for this one feature which they have faild to implement properly on the current, useful software the rest of the entire X-Fi solution uses......enabling a remote is not an option alongside the other options in, say, MediaCenter is because....
?Anyway, this is great & all but now I STILL can't use it because naturally, the Entertainment Center won't install even once I found it on the CD. I did find a post refering to this known, unaddressed showstopper, but the lone fix anyone has mentioned involved changing registry enteries that don't even exist. Evidently you need to have already successfully installed Entertainment Center to...install Entertainment Center.
Deleting drivers, reinstalling, etc. all that is nonapplicable here, done it all over & over.
The exact error I get when I try to install Entertainment Center so as to enable the remote is this one: http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/3449/wtf0hq.jpg?Thanks for any help anyone can provide!!

Thanks frankmcarthur?for suggesting this software. i have downloaded this software but my remote doesnt works. do i need to purchase IR Device. If no can you please tell me the procedure to enable remote control. i had a talk with creative customer support executi've. he told me to remove optical out knob so that remote will work.i have remove it & i can see red light there but then also its not working. i have reinstalled the software.

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.

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.

Mac mini and Front Row - entertainment center

I plan to use a mac mini as a replacement for my CD jukebox and DVD player in my entertainment center. I have everything, including the HD cable box through the Yamaha receiver - what am I going to need to make this work? Router, etc??? Does Front Row just play media or do I use it to rip CD's - or is that Itunes?
Thanks, Just getting in to the mac and really like the operating system much more than Windows DME.

I did the same thing about a month ago, but we loved the Mac Mini so much more than our PC that I moved it to my desk and it's now my main PC. I plan on checking out the iTV like the previous post stated when it comes out too.
But, back to your question . . . Depending on what kind of TV you have, you may need an adaptor. For an HD widescreen TV, you can connect direct DVI if your TV has the connector, or you can get a DVI to HDMI cable (about $110) to go to an HDMI connection. I'm not aware that there are converters for composite video. For digital audio, you should get the mini to optical toslink converter. They sell it on the Apple store. I couldn't find one at Circuit City, Best Buy, CompUSA, or my local Apple store, but got one at a Re-Mac store. I recommend just buying it online. If you have music already imported to iTunes on a PC or another Mac, you can stream it to the Mac Mini on a wireless network. If you don't have one, you'll need a wireless router. Wireless G is the standard and works great. N is the new standard coming out, but unless you'll be streaming video over the network, it's overkill. The mini will easily hook right up to it once your network router is turned on and you've named your network. You can play iTunes songs and playlists from the other computer through Front Row as long as you have the music sharing option turned on in iTunes (PC or Mac) on the computer that holds the music. If you're just going to have the music on the Mac mini, none of the wireless shareing is necessary.
On your last question, Front Row doesn't rip CDs, but you just rip the CDs into iTunes and then Front Row will automatically see any music or playlists from iTunes. Front Row is basically just putting window dressing on iTunes for music. In fact, you can see after closing Front Row, that the little black arrow is under the iTunes icon on your dock meaning that it is open (even if you didn't open it before).
One last note, the mini won't work as a PVR unless you buy an external device to work as a TV tuner. You can search the discussions on Mac Mini to find a lot of posts for recommendations on how to do that.
I've been combing these discussion boards for the last month learning everything I need to know about the Mac. They're great for any other questions you have. Good luck!

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.

What to do when your Game Center won't connect with the game?

My game center won't connect to the game I'm trying to play and what is happing is the game would come one. But when its loading it will stop right in the middle of it and won't do anything. I don't know if its the game or game center. I believe its the game center because it doesn't open the apps inside of it on the first page. What should i do?

Advanced option no longer appears in SB Entertainment Center tab

@Advanced option no longer appears in SB Entertainment Center tabD I recently wanted to watch movie DVD's on my computer. Knowing very little about video/sounds concepts, I installed the ffdshow video/audio decoder (part of the K-Lite Codec package). After several days I was able to watch movie DVD's on my computer, both video and audio using a movie DVD that had Dolby Surround 5.. However, I was unable to hear any sound from my rear speakers, so I began to experiment with different settings.
At one point in the SB Entertainment Center I clicked on the Entertainment Center tab/Advanced settings, brought up the AC3Filter window and changed one of the settings to Filter merit/Prefer other decoder. Testing this setting resulted in no sound. Now the Advanced settings option also no longer appears when I bring up the Entertainment Center tab so that I can change this setting back to its default.
How do I get this option back or bring up the AC3Filter window?
I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thank you.
Sound setup:
Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatalty FPS
Logitech Z-5450 Digital 5. [email protected]

I seem to see that using
* Firefox Button or Tools -> Options -> | Advanced | ->[-Offline Storage-]
*see [[Options window - Advanced panel#w_network-tab]]_network-tab
Possibly something is interfering
* try in Firefox's [[safe mode]]
** do not make changes on the first window, just click on continue
** use the default theme
** it may also help to disable all plugins
Note <br/>
Firefox 5 is no longer supported and not considered secure. It would be recommended you use the current public release which is Firefox 7.0.1

How to connect ATV into the Entertainment center

I was wondering how people are connecting ATV into their entertainment center or components. I have of course the widescreen TV, ATV, also DVD, set top box and the stereo. The stereo is a late 80's/early 90's version that uses the copper stereo wiring and not the red/white plugin in the back.
How are people setting up a similar system. Thanks

My main set up is; tv to tv via HDMI, optical to receiver, I've thrown my DVD player and my STB is connected via scart.
Your stereo likely doesn't have HDMI or optical but may have an auxiliary input of some kind, I think you are probably talking about the outputs in your description and I'd be surprised if the auxiliary (if there is one) isn't a red/white RCA connector.

Entertainment Center - playing from 'artist' opt

Does anyone know if there's a way to make Entertainment Center play tracks by one artist in order of album tracks rather than track number when playing mp3s stored on the hard disk?
For example - I have 3 albums by Cymande, rather than play tracks -9 of the first album, then move onto the second album, it plays all 3 track 's then moves onto the track 2's - it's a little annoying when you want to listen to all 3 albums back-to-back by the same artist.
I'm running the copy of entertainment center I got with Audigy 4 on this machine...
Dell Dimension 950
Pentium D 2.8Ghz
GB RAM
60GB Hard Disk
NVIDIA Geforce 7300 LE
Soundblaster Audigy 4
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Most likley, just dragging each song into a playlist in whatever order would do the trick. The only problem with that is you must drag each song one by one, which is time-consuming.

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
