Installing new Drivers for Audigy 2

I'm currently playing Vanguard and was told I should update my sound drivers. The drivers I have came with the system and I think they're like from 2005. SO... I have the new drivers but I've had experience in the past of installing sound drivers and never getting the sound to come back. The last time I tried doing it I just rolled my system back to a restore point after giving up on getting the sound back.
Is there a secret to doing it's From my understanding...you just run the application from Creative and it should uninstall the old drivers and install the new ones. That all goes as planned but when I reboot (as prompted) I never have sound. I'm not sure if I'm forgetting to do something or just missing something.
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much.

I haven't had troubles installing updated sound drivers before. Try uninstalling the old ones first and start fresh with the new ones. If it is an upgrade ONLY (needs current drivers), and you have had issues in the past, then i would backup before doing so.
I haven't had any issues with sound drivers before, sorry i couldn't be more help.

Make sure speakers are set to 5. if that's what you're using. I like to Synchronize with Windows Control Panel. Turn EAX to No effects, and/or turn effects to 0%. On the CMSS 3D Tab, turn the Mode to OFF.

I can't install new drivers on Audigy

I have installed drivers SBA2_EAX4DRV_0303.exe
I downloaded last update SBA2_PCWDRV_LB__84_55-R.exe from support site.
But I can't install it - message box with text about Audigy 2 card doesn't install in computer appears.
I saw in "requirements" what SP2 needed. I installed SP2 on Windows XP, but it didn't solve the problem.
What can I do to solve this problem?

<SPAN>When in vain... cheat.First go to Device manager and uninstall your creative (WDM) device by right clicking on it. If you have the drivers-amd64-04805.zip file then extract that and run the setup program again to uninstall other files.-- REBOOT --Windows will come up with the found new hardware wizard, open it and select install from specific location.Download the SBA2_WEB64_LB_2_03_0004.exe file from the creative site. Run the installation and wait for it to come up with the confirmation box about closing all other applications first (two buttons [ok] and [cancel].When it is at this point go back to your install from location hardware box and tell it to include the search path "C:\windows\temp\" in there look for a dir starting CRF000 or simular. Then browse to Drivers and wdm. Thus your include path should look something like ... "C:\WINDOWS\Temp\CRF000\Drivers\wdm". If you can't find this dir then search the windows temp directory for a folder called WDM and you will want the one containing the newest files.Hit ok and windows will find the drivers in this dir and install them for you. Just point the rest of the game input device etc to the same folder and then cancel the creative installer and reboot.Just like magic your sound card will be working. If you can't follow this then maybe you should just wait for creative to sort the problem out. =) It seems like a very common problem

"Extraction Failed: Cannot Open Output File" error message when installing new drivers

Hello, I'm trying to install new drivers for my HP Photosmart C4385 Printer. I downloaded the full feature drivers for Windows XP 32-bit, and when I start to install (extract), I get the error message:
Extraction Failed
Cannot Open Output File
And the process closes. It happens at about 85% extraction every time.
Any idea why? I called HP but since it is out of warranty they wanted money, which I think as absolutely ridiculous - won't even give me basic support?? Poor, poor customer service.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
If you haven't still got the Full Feature software installer, download it from the link below and save it to your Desktop. If you already have it, place it on your Desktop.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software10/COL20274/mp-53147-4/100_228_PS_AIO_02_Full_USW_enu_NB.exe
Make sure the Printer is disconnected from your PC.
Download and install 7-ZIP. Once installed, right click on the software installer for your printer, select 7-Zip and choose extract files, then click Ok.
Open the newly extracted folder and double click the setup application to start the installation ( the setup application will probably have the same icon as the original software installer you downloaded ). Connect the printer to your PC when the software asks.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
DP-K

Windows Update installed the drivers for the wrong sound card?

I need serious help with this one.
It all started October 31st when I find that Windows Update lists an update for my sound card - a Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit internal card. I install it, reboot, and realize that my sound is not coming through the speakers (Note, sound was working before I installed this update. I'm not even sure if the sound card is processing to it). I realized that Windows Update seemed to have installed the drivers for the wrong sound card. It installed drivers for "SB Audigy" (it was originally SB Li've!), why they chose to be so generic - I don't know. I later find out that not even Creative's website has this updated driver, but apparently, only Windows Update is issuing this out.
But wait, it gets even more frustrating.
So I don't have System Restore enabled (big resource hog), and I need to go back to the older drivers. I originally do a driver rollback using the Device Manager, which made the drivers go back to what they were before - but still wasn't outputting sound. I think even though the older drivers were being used by Windows, the software that Creative issued wasn't picking up this fact and thought I still using the newer ones for Audigy. So I decided to uninstall everything and start with an actual driver installation executable from Creative's website (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe). What I found out was that if new drivers are detected, I can't actually install over them.
However, if I uninstall the drivers using the Device Manager, it'll automatically install everything - the control panel, the preferences, drivers, etc for the new "SB Audigy" drivers that were issued Oct 3st once I scan for hardware changes. The reason I need to scan for hardware changes is because if I uninstall the drivers from the Device Manager, it'll remove the instance of "SB Audigy" from the list. This causes problems for the installer for the older drivers (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe) because now it thinks there isn't any hardware to install the drivers for (all because I haven't made the Device Manager actually discover my actual sound card, yet unless I press "Scan for Hardware changes" which as a result, will install the newer drivers from Oct 3st automatically. I hope this makes sense so far).
So now I can't uninstall the newer incorrect drivers so I can install the older ones for the actual sound card. Normally I heard that you can change something in the new driver's installation executable to properly uninstall everything. Only problem is, Windows Update doesn't exactly tell you where it's downloading the driver/hardware installation files. I know in the Software Distribution you can find Windows Update stuff downloading there - but I couldn't find the SB Audigy driver update it keeps installing while "scanning for hardware changes" in the Device Manager.
This was incredibly hard to put into detail, so I hope that it makes a little bit of sense. If you need clarification on anything please let me know and I'll do anything to help eliminate the problem. Just remember I have:
Windows 7 x64
Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit
I think the only problem I'd like to solve is - how could I install older drivers if Windows keeps installing the newer ones even after I uninstall them? Because right now, I can't do much unless I know how to get rid of the installation files for the Oct 3st update so it won't have anything to use. Another way to rephrase the question is, how could I get the Device Manager in Windows to display my soundcard as "Multimedia Audio Controller" for as long as I need so I can run SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe which will then detect that there is a sound card that can use the drivers and install them properly?
Thanks for your help guys, I hope we can solve this. Because I've done everything I could. Hopefully I don't need to reinstall the operating system just so I can have sound working.

New Driver for Audigy 2 NX - No 44.1Khz output ?

I installed the latest driver(.0.0099 - 26-Feb-0) for my Audigy 2 NX soundcard running on Windows 7. This the first time I am using the NX on Windows 7.
Everything is working fine, except I notice that in the "Output Rate" dropdown selection (that appears in the Windows "Advanced" tab under Properties of the playback device) there is no option for 6bit 44.Khz. The lowest is 48Khz. So does this mean a 44.Khz signal will always get resampled to 48Khz ? This is for the *analog* output only, not digital(spdif).

Re: New Driver for Audigy 2 NX - No 44.Khz output ?Hi dudl
My name is Felippe from Brazil. I bought an use Audigy 2 NX, that didn?t come with the Instalation and Applications CD. So I started looking for the drivers and applications to install. I installed the beta driver. I managed to install the sound card with it. The problem is the applications. Some of them I did the download (wave studio, creative mediaplayer), but the EAX CONSOLE I couldn?t install. So I tryed to install the Support Pack 3.8 that you published, with no success. The error code is "-6003". As I do not know much about computers, I ask you to help me. I work with music, voice recording, and EAX CONSOLE is really useful, since I do not know any program to replace. Well, I wait your response as soon as possible. Thank you. Felippe

How can I install gutenprint drivers for my Epson Stylus Color 440?

Good day all!
I have and old and useful printer -Epson Stylus Color 440- and just bougth a cable for connecting it to USB port. Add a new print on its Print and Scan Preference Panel and it was recognized inmediatly, but I was told there was not any driver to that printer.
Tried to set "Epson Stylus Color Series" on its driver but when I went to print, printer seemed to work but does not eject any ink. It seemed as if I were ran out of ink; its car moved over the places occupied by the photo and sounded as normal printing, but not a drop of ink. I checked on an older windows pc, and ink is full, printed normally. I also looked for its drivers on Epson pages, but it seems there are only available for previos Mac OSs, not for X.
A son told me that in his Snow Leopard MacBook White there's a dirver called "Epson Stylus Color 440 gutenprint" on his Print and Scan Driver Menu; haven't tried to print from his MacBook yet, and as I searched, those are open drivers.
I wonder if I can download and install that "Epson Stylus Color 440 gutenprint" from the web, of if there's a way to copy it from my son's Macbook, when he comes and check.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc. The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard.
The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
To install the Boot Camp drivers:
1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
2 Insert the Mac OS X disc. If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers
If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
To repair Boot Camp drivers:
1 Start up your computer in Windows.
2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

How to install additional drivers for a shared photosmart c6180?

Hi, i am running windows 7 x64 and i have shared a photosmart c6180 on the pc. I need to add additional 32bit drivers so that pc's that run xp 32 bit can print to the shared printer (i cannot connect these other pc's directly to the printer via network). any way, under the sharing tab in printer properties, i can click on 'additional drivers' and choose x86, but then it asks for a driver location. what location do i specify? i've already tried c:\windows and c:\windows\system32, but it does not pick up any drivers at those locations. i've also downloaded all of the latest drivers from the hp site, but when i run the executable and specify their extracted locations, for example, c:\users\user1\appdata\temp\7Z139A\, it does not see any drivers there either.
any help is greatly appreciated!
thanks!

You wont be able to use exiting Win XP drivers on windows 7. You need to get new drivers for Windows 7, and install them as per your convenience, ie manually or automate it via script GP

Apple 's new drivers for Canon printers

Apple has just released new drivers for Canon printers. I have an i9900 inkjet printer which is not listed in the supported printers. Will the driver work for me or am I out of luck?
Thanks.

The driver update is supplied to Apple from Canon, who has made the decision to end support for the i9900. They actually ended support several versions previously.
So to print from Mavericks to the i9900 you can download and install Gutenprint v5.2.9 which lists the i9900 as a supported device.

Wireless problem since installing new drivers z61p

I recently restored back to factory default for everything. Then happily headed over to lenovo drivers to download all new drivers for my Z61p (win xp) .
got my sound running
downloaded intel wireless driver
got new access conections (since i was having a problem where the wireless would not switch on [using the Fn + F5..it just would not switch on] - managed to get it to now switch on at least)
however now when i switch my machine on i get an error message saying intel wireless management has to shut down - do i want to send an error report (i did..no response yet..if ever)?
then
access conections tells cant link to the wireless router..it simply finds nothing when i tell it to look for a network - never mind actually link to my preset office router
digging a bit below the surface
intel wants to report that i have the wrong driver installed (so i went back to the drivers site and downloaded again and installed again..no joy)
as does access conections..(did the same re install...no joy)
Do i have the wrong drivers?
the site i used was:http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-64278
then for intel the one called:
Intel PRO/Wireless 2200bg, 2915abg, 3945bg, 3945abg, 4965ag, 4965agn Mini PCI adapter
and then:
ThinkVantage Access Connections
am i being"dumb"?
any help/ advice welcome.."other than just run the install file again"
is there another source of drivers i could use?

Got this sorted.
