I need a replacement HD audio driver other than the IDT/Beats hunka junk.

Anyone out there know if its alright to install a HD audio driver (brandwise) other than the one that came pre loaded on my HP Dv6 A8 windows7 x64? Hp apparently has IDT by the short hairs, not letting anything get out without being overprocessed, compressed and enhanced to DEATH. Not only that but they've got to drag that insolent worthless F*up, Beats audio to every download. I've tried everything, from the generic system driver that comes with windows, to registry patches and still have every problem that everyone else has with this driver.
I only see a few ways through this and they are as follows
1.) Get a new sound card ( but I'm broke after paying 900.00 for this laptop)
2.) Build a cutom driver ( guess you gotta start somewhere 'eh?)
3.) Get the lo-down on a Beats-free Idt driver...........ANYONE?..anyone.......anyon..any........
4.) OR, get a thumbs up and possibly a link to the original question.
I'm afraid that all this messin' with my 'puter is gonna funk it up after a while. Kinda like a bad hair day, the more you fuss the worse the 'muss.
Help M EEeeee

I am providing you a link to an HP Support document called “Obtaining Software and Drivers” below. This document will demonstrate the different ways up getting your drivers. From Microsoft, to the HP driver page for your computer, to the original drivers that came with your computer.
There is nothing saying you cannot go directly to the audio manufacturer and download their drivers for the chip but there is no guarantee that they will work correctly as most times the OEM (in this case HP) request modifications to the hardware to suit the software requirements so they may not match up exactly. It is worth giving it a try though.

How do I assign a file to a drive other than the drive that contains my program software?

I've just installed a video editing program on my new Mac Pro Xeon 64 bit workstation. I want to ensure that all my media files reside on a drive other than the drive that contains programs. I had no problem doing this on my old Dell. How do I do this on my Mac Pro? -- Gary

Application Preferences.
Next time, 'what' program would also help.
Most people do setup with a dedicated boot drive with OS and apps, .then use other drives or array(s) for media, scratch as needed, including external hardware RAID.

Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

Hello there,
Welcome to Adobe Community. Yes it can be installed on a different drive. Though some of the files installed by it will still be installed on C: drive.
When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.
Thanks!

How to maintain itunes on a drive other than the system drive

I would like to have itunes on a drive other than the Windows 7 operating system drive, and have it stay there.
Never mind...I found a post which applies.

Hi Maciejhttp://forums.adobe.com/people/Maciej%20Przepi%C3%B3ra
Thanks for your inputs.
I have memory leaks in my code. I have tried iDialog->Release() code which reduces some of the memory leaks
Though I want to use more clean method of InterfacePtr.
"To prevent reference counts from incrementing, as in Type 1a and 1b, use this constructor, which does not call IPMUnknown::AddRef:"
Which Constructor you are pointing out, I didn't get it.
I tried InterfacePtr<IDialog> iDialog((IDialog *)iWidgetParent->QueryParentFor(IID_IDIALOG));
It started giving me assert again.
Please give an example how to do it or which InterfacePtr constructor doesn't call AddRef().
Many thanks for helping me with this.

Can CC apps be downloaded to, and run from, a hard drive other than the OS drive?

Yes. You can define alternate locations in teh application manager. just be aware that some components will always end up on your system root drive no matter what.

Don't have correct permissions to any drive other than the boot drive

I installed SL, and when it came time to enter in the user name, it said the name was already taken xxxx and so I entered yyyy. As an example.
Now User yyyy has Read / Write permissions for everything on Drive 1, the boot drive, but ALL of the other hard drives have xxxx as having Read / Write permissions, and not for my new account yyyy. So everytime I need to write a file to a hard drive, I have to fix permission for the folder the file resides in. This is getting old fast.
How can I change all my drives, folders, files, etc, etc to have yyyy permissions added without doing them 1 at a time?

what kind of backups? manual ones? then it's ok to do the following
select a drive and enter command+i. in the resulting popup, unlock the lock at the bottom, change the permissions as you want, then click on the "gears" action button at the bottom and select "apply to enclosed items".
However, let me stress here that you should NEVER EVER use "apply to enclosed items" on ANY system created folders, system drives or TM drives. that includes btw things like your home folder, your desktop folder etc. use it ONLY on folders you made yourself. using it on a system drive will have catastrophic results. using it on any system created folder will likely have highly unpleasant ones because such folders often have invisible ACLs and using this button will propagate them inside.

Can the creative cloud apps be installed on a drive other than the boot drive?

I have an SSD for the boot drive and keep most apps on an 'applications' drive. It appears that CC apps install by default to the boot drive. Am I incorrect? Can I control what drive they install on?

Yes you can change the install location:
Launch the Adobe Application Manager.
Click on your name in the top left and from the context menu choose Preferences.
Change the Install Location to the one you want.

Does one key recovery effect drives other than the one where windows is installed?

I'm a noob and want to reinstall windows due to some hardware issue. I want to know that if I restore my system partition to its initial state, will the data saved in other drives be affected?

I'm referring to what I know about OKR based on my unit. There are two drives (C: and D). This is what is explained in the manual (pay particular attention to the Note):

Do I need another type of anti-virus other than the Avast that I use? You say Avast is incompatable w/the upgrade of firefox...I feel I need protection of some kind..

stated as above..

I suggest you try using a debugger to step through the program to see what it is doing.
This will help you understand what you program does.
I also suggest you try formatting your code in a readable manner or using a code formatter to do this for you.

Installing Reader 10.1 to a drive OTHER THAN 'C' drive

Hi. Can anyone provide guidance on how to install Adobe Reader 10.1 to a hard drive other than the C drive?
At no point during the installation process is the user given the option to select a drive letter. I need space on my C drive and want to install this rather sizeable utility on my E drive.
My O/S is XP Pro 2002 (SP 3)
Thanks,
SD

I assume you are downloading the Reader using the download manager, aren't you.
Just download the EXE or the MSI installer from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.0/ and execute e.g. either of the following files:
AdbeRdr1010_en_US.exe
AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi
Then you should be able to change the destination folder...

How can I install Adobe Reader 11 to a drive other than C:\?

I downloaded Reader 11, but at no point during the installation process am I prompted for an installation location. How can I install this to a drive other than the C:\? I keep my C:\ and data storage drive separate so in the event the OS crashes I won't lose my data. I have limited storage capacity since I'm on a laptop so I didn't make my C:\ very large, so that I would have more room for my D:\. Any suggestions?
Sincerely,
LT Gannon

having data on a different drive is a good idea. installing programs on a drive different from you os containing drive is generally not a good idea. but if you have the expertise and are sure of what you're doing:
mac: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/mac/11.x/11.0.00/misc/
win: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5515

Hi ze2red_ics
There have been other reports of a couple of .dll being loaded too early on Vista which then claims they are missing.
It is always helpful to record them if you get a chance. That said although you appear to have made every effort to remove everything Nokia from your Lenovo laptop, did that include clearing up registry or not?

I need a co-author email address other than the one I use for adobe. How do I make that happen?
How do I get an email address that doesn't have an adobe account to be a co-author?
Already sent email invitation a few times to the address and it doesn't authorize.

Hi Benjamin;
In order to open/view the form as a Co-author after you invite someone, that email address does have to have an account or create a new account in FormsCentral.

MacPro wont boot from any disk other than the main HD

Hi all,
I want to startup my MacPro from a different drive other than the main (original) Macintosh HD, so I can do maintenance and for emergencies.
However, I cannot startup from a DVD. Not DiskWarrior, or even the retail Snow Leopard disk.
I attempted to install the OS on another internal drive, but the intallation seemed to fail (the disk I tried to install onto was Mac OS Extended, Case-sensitive, Journaled, but there were no complaints from the installer.)
So even though my computer runs OK, and I can continue doing work etc, I am unable to do the maintenance that I believe it needs.
I have tried to:
• Run the updated DiskWarrior DVD
• Run the SL instal DVD
• Taken all the extra wires/drives out of the back of the computer
• Attempted to install the OS onto a second internal drive
I have not:
• Zapped the PRAM yet.
• Run the computer in target disk mode and worked on it from my MacBook
• Run the MacBook in target mode to use its DVD drive.
This problem has come up before on this machine. I can't remember what the problem was, other than I used to run the MacPro on its side. No longer. Not for the last few months.
Anybody come across this before? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Aaron

You could use CCC to do a trimmed down clone and leave out most of the sub folders. Do a 2nd clone to have a full working copy.
Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.2
Cloning as a Backup Strategy
My guess is one of your drives needs to be reinitialized. Only during format will the hidden partition blocks be tested, and of course a healthy set of partitions created, things that cannot be repaired normally - though Lion Recovery partition does have abilty to check the health of partition tables. And about the only reason I'd even buy Lion!
