GeForce4 Titanium 128MB works without drivers?!

I have a MDD dual 1Ghz and have been using the ATI 9000 64MB card since new, no problems. My Itunes visualizer frame rates have really slowed down (can't remember when this happened, maybe years ago), and I saw an NVIDIA GeForce4 Titanium 128MB Graphics Card FS cheap so I bit. Plugged it in and it works, no drivers. In fact the installation CD that came with says its incompatible with my system when I try to install it. This is in the Apple box, with the Apple CD, and this card is clearly compatible with my hardware according to specs. It was an option when new, just too expensive then.
Regardless, frame rates are unchanged, though moving windows around from one monitor to another in extended desktop mode is clearly faster, and cleaner.
Was my expectation of faster visualizer frame rates unrealistic? If I could find compatible drivers would this help? I'm kind of afraid to change anything as its driving my second monitor at 1920x1080 which isn't even in the specs.
I used to get 64+ frames per second, the past year or two its more like 25. Any theories as to what may be gumming this thing up?
Thanks for your opinion, Mark

I believe that iTunes 7 makes even more use of display routines than the earlier versions did - it wreaked havoc with my stock 32MB GeForce card with display artifacts just displaying the album art, forget about even using the visualizer.. The frame rates you're seeing in the visualizer are comparable to my Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB card. I don't know if you're going to see anything better on a card that's compatible with the G4's other than the latest 256MB cards with full Core Image support that still have to live within the 4X AGP standard..

X-Fi titanium not working with drivers?

'\I bought the X-Fi titanium and I wish I hadn't.
I have W7 64bit and the drivers you have listed install okay but I cannot use the control panel to adjust the settings.
I have used the product ID module but the only thing that will make this card work are the default W7 driver.
I may as well flush my money down the toilet.

Download this and install it.
It contains the latest oem drivers and the tools for it.

Super irritating windows problem - how to right click without drivers!!??

i'm trying to help a friend install x64 windows 7 on her "new" macbook. i say "new" bc here in argentina they are a bit behind on the latest models. we have a late 2009 macbook.
she bought this computer before and i successfully installed windows 7 x64 on it, but she changed back to a pc, then BACK to a macbook. same model.
for some reason, the install of windows was flawless this time, despite using the same windows disc and the same model macbook.
ANYWAY, i'm at the point where i put in the install dvd to install the windows drivers, and i get the message "x64 not supported on this machine"....
i've found a workaround online, where i can go into the bootcamp64.msi file, etc...
but how the h.e.l.l. do you right click without the bootcamp drivers installed????
this is windows 7, which is a piece of krap, but it's what she bought....
this is super annoying. anyone have any ideas?
i need to right click so i can install the drivers so that the trackpad can do what right click is supposed to do.
thanks...

hey, thanks for responding....
that didn't work, because i'm on a trackpad that doesn't have the bootcamp drivers installed, but in order to install the drivers in windows 7, it requires a right click to access the drop down menu to "troubleshoot compatibility" of the bootcamp x64 driver...
but after some digging around, i found that the work-around for right-click WITHOUT drivers is the following:
shift-f10 (click)
again, thanks for responding. i love apple forums, usually people willing to help others, especially when it comes to lame windows compatibility.
hopefully someone who encounters this same b.s. will find this post.
take care!

MSI GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB refresh problem

Hi all!
I have following WinXP refresh problem:
When I set refresh rate to value bigger than 75Hz, system tells me that refresh rate was changed, but my monitor still shows me 75 Hz.
My HW configuration:
Athlon XP 2000+
ABIT KD7 (VIA KT400 chipset)
MSI GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB
IBM DeskStar 45GB 7200 rpm
17" AOC 7GLr
I have tried various graphic card drivers (both drivers that were on CD supported by MSI and downloaded detonators from nVidia), for my monitor i have correct drivers from AOC. I was able to set refresh rate to 100Hz using PowerStrip 3.3. In SiSoft Sandra Professional i found warning, that i should use PnP/DDC compatible monitor or video adapter.
Guys from AOC support told me, that problem is probably in my graphic card.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance. :(

I experienced the same problem with a new msi 440mx VTD (8x). I tried the latest detonator drivers (41.07 and 41.09) and could not get more than 75Hz refresh in any resolution, though the configuration told me it was 85Hz. In Monitor Inf my Iiyama MT-9017T has the specs 96kHz and 55-160Hz, that used to give me 1024x768@100Hz with my old graphics adapter.
my configuration:
Athlon XP 1600+
Epox KTA3pro (KT133a)
WIN2000

Help, my sound is not working without headphones!

I dropped my phone in the toilet, after quickly receiving it and drying it off, it seemed everything worked fine. I turned it off and on and put in on the charger to see if that worked. But when I tried to use FaceTime, I said I had headphones in while I didn't. Now, it won't work without them. Help me!!

Nvidia GeForce4 Titanium vs. nVidia GeForce FX 5200

I purchased a new dual G5 with an nVidia GeForce FX5200 with 64MB of VRAM. I had in my old G4 a Nvidia GeForce4 Titanium card with 128MB of VRAM. First, can I install the old Titanium card in my G5? If so, is it a better card than the card that the G5 has now? Any suggestions will be deeply appreciated.

The card in the G5 is compatible with the new Tiger Core Image, the one in your G4 is not.

Why app store is not working without card details

My app store is not working without entering card details , I lost my olf apple id .
i MADE a new one .

What do you mean by 'not working' ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
If you mean that you are being prompted to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
If not then you will either need to enter credit card details (you should be able to delete the card after entering it) or create a new account, and use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it.
How did you lose your old account ? If you can't remember its details then try the following :

I would like to be able to download updates for my Iphone and Ipad on my work computer but my home computer has all of my music on Itunes. How do i downlaod updates at work without deleting all of the music which is stored on my home computer/Itunes?

I would like to be able to download software updates on my Iphone and Ipad at work without erasing my music. My home computer/Itunes has all of my music saved. is there a way to use two computers w/o erasing information? Or can i transfer the music from my Iphone to my work computer?

- An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
- To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
- Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

TS3694 I got my cracked screen fixed , and ever since my phone has been acting up. Now Im trying to restore it and it wont restore. Also my phone wont work without being on the charger. It just wont disconnect from ITunes Can I get help ASAP

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card)

Things to note:
I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

By default, on a mac keyboard F3 lets you see all the open apps and the such. However, I changed it so that I use those keys for keyboard shortcuts; But i'd like the normal F3 key to still work without me having to press FN.

rajlego,
in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, select the Shortcuts tab, and then select Mission Control on the left-hand side. On the right-hand side, make sure that the Mission Control checkbox is checked, double-click on its current key combination (by default “^↑”) so that the key combination is highlighted, and then press the F3 button — that will set its shortcut to be F3. You can now press F3 to bring up Mission Control without needing to also press the Fn button.

How many people work on drivers @ creati

I was just wondering ...
Even the big NVIDIA Company said a few months ago that they did not had enough man power to create nice Vista Drivers in a short time frame. They just had a few progammers that were busy with thousands of other things and if they had some free time, they worked on drivers.
----------------- NVIDIA: ---------------------
An official from Nvidia, a leading designer of system chipsets and graphics processors, admitted that the company had underestimated resources it needed to develop proper drivers for Windows Vista, but said the issues would be shortly resolved. Besides, the company has outlined its priorities when developing drivers for the new operating system (OS).
But even though the initial priority of Nvidia when developing drivers were content developers, right now the company has the priority of deli'vering stable drivers for Vista to end-users. It is remarkable that Nvidia even put performance of its drivers on the second place.
This is exactly what I would love to see from Creative Labs!
After the bad feedback about poor driver support Nvidia officially said SORRY for this and hired some more guys that work on drivers all the time. And now it seems to be fine again. Nvidia is back on road again and relasing good drivers every few weeks. This was a response that I liked to see. It's not good for a big company like this to get so many bad feedback and reviews.
Same for Creative. They probably don't get it yet but their poor support and fact that it takes more then a half year to get another bugged driver released is not good for them. People talk bad about them for months now and many people dont want to get CL Products anymore.
I am playing with crackling issues since more then a half year now and I would like to get rid of it. I payed more then 400 for my Elite Pro Card and the drivers are simply not as good as they should be.
Isn't it time for Creative to do something with their driver support Shouldn't they do the same like Nvidia or ATI and get some more people working on drivers
The fact that it takes around a half year for a little driver upgrade shows me that there can not be more then -2 guys working on drivers in some of their free time.
I am a programer myself, already coded drivers and I know its not easy so I dont want to blame them. But in my opionion its simply not enough. I think more people should work on drivers and they should have a higher priority.
I have my own community forums ... a year ago everyone said "Get a XFI Card - best one!". Today everyone says "Don't get XFI - nice hardware but bad drivers".
This should not be ... its bad for CL so please CL ... do something about it and change something! Other big companies already did it! If you dont do it this will have many bad bad results for you! Nobody wants to buy your product anymore if you can't create nice drivers for it!

As a gamer, having capable hardware is a must at all times. When i built my new system recently the only thing that traveled from my old system to the new build was my sound card, the X-Fi. Amazingly to my surprise all my other hardware had vista x64 software/drivers available. Sadly enough i must say that i really liked this card and how it ran on my older system, it was because creative had so called vista drivers i went ahead and installed it (vista). Unfortunately i am too far in vista with my other apps, work to go back and too be honest i like it. I am getting the point where i am very close to getting rid of this card, reason being i can only run my games in software sound mode which is majorly sucking now. There are a few cards which i cant mention bc the mods will just remove the name and while they already have mature vista drivers the lack of EAX 3.0+ is whats holding me back a few more weeks. Interestingly its also creative's fault that no one else can use EAX 3.0+.
To answer your question a bit more directly, creative probably has no more than 2-3 ppl working on drivers at any one time. And until recently that probably did the job fine, unfortunately times have changed OSs are more complex, driver writing isn't what it used to be and creative needs to get their but in gear..Maybe even let us know whats going one every once in a while. Because like i said it before and will say i again, once valuable customers are lost they usually don't come back even if they develop a superior product.

In disk utility, it shows that my external hard drive is somehow unmounted and I can't access it in finder or repair it in Disk Utility. How can I get this working without losing my important data?

Thank you!

When you erased the disk did you select Mac OS Extended Journaled as the format option?

I need to add a secondary hard drive to my time capsule. Can something that has been set up for a windows machine work without re-formatting?

In addition to Niel's comments, if you plan to use Time Machine to backup a Mac to the secondary drive.....that application needs a drive that has been specifically formattted for Mac. That would be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
PCs can also read and write to the Mac formatted drive.
