New x-fi beta drive

Hi, have u installed new beta drivers 2.0.0.9? i get problems in q4, i listen right channel on the left channel.

Creative does not recommend using those drivers for the time being, as they are not public beta drivers.
It could be a driver fault, or it could be that you miswired your speakers...
Try the THX Cosnole's sound testing or the Diagnostics to see if you do hear the sound as it should be there. If you are, then it is not the wires...

New ati 64bits beta driver ?

Hey,
Is there any new ATI 64bit beta drivers for windows 64bit out ?
I downloaded the ones that ATI have posted on thier site, but they didnt work with my x800xt card :( The drivers they got posted is from like mars/april I tried them anyhow but as soon as i got them installed the pc just rebooted at once (w/o me pressing yes or windows shutting down prop, just pure rebooted) When win xp 64bit booted up again it still said there was no drivers for my x800xt card.
So my qustion is, does anyone know know if there are some newer ati drivers for win xp 64bit ? maybe omega have remade them or something ?
Thanx

Not that I'm aware of.

How do I install the new "unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support" driver?

Hey guys, I'm going to reformat later today and I need instructions on how to install these latest drivers.
Once I reformat, I will install Windows 2000 SP4.
When I reboot, I will insert the CD that came with my Audigy 2 and I will select "Custom Install" and I will select to install everything EXCEPT the driver.
Then when I have installed all the Creative software from the CD that came with my Audigy 2, I will reboot.
Now I will install the "unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support" driver and then reboot.
Is that the correct procedure? If not PLEASE tell me!

My game music always (now I've asked for it!!!) seems to work; have you tried disabling cthelper in your config as that seems to ?$!&^ everything up; on my system it was causing crashes and also meant my system was taking 0 minutes to shut down!
And while we're at it, maybe someone from Creative could expand on the really useful info the guys above have given (thanks guys!).
Oh yeah, one last suggestion for Creative; maybe make the installation of "cthelper" optional in the installation program and/or have a check box in the Creative config software to turn it on off with an explanation as to why people may want to do this (ie may cause problems on some systems)...

New beta driver + doom 3 =

I just installed the new opengl beta on my audigy2zs and started playing doom 3 again. The difference is amazing. Sound quality is much better and the game runs much more smoothly. Thank you creative.

Hi coffeewalt
Yeah the 2.08.002 aka 62 BETA driver is fantastic in Doom3 and Battlefield 2, tho it does have faults with Half-Life 2 and F.E.A.R

New beta driver (2.09.0001) and MIDI playb

Since MIDI playback isn?t used by many people nowadays, I don?t have any hope the CL will fix the outstanding issues, but just for the records:
At least for me the driver fixes nothing in regard to MIDI-playback.
- Resolves SoundFont? issues where notes distort and change pitch during playback and recording
This is what the readme says, but in fact absolutely nothing has changed with the beta driver. But most likely I am only hallucinating...
Notes randomly distort and change pitch exactly as before. This seems to happen more often the bigger the soundfont gets. Try for example the great Fluid3. Works fine on an ages old Soundblaster Li've, but shows the above mentioned problems with X-Fi (since Audigy of course you have to hack the registry to load soundfonts that big - something that has been discussed in various CL discussion forums litarally for years...)Message Edited by lontomer on 06-05-2006 0:38 AM

I forgot to mention, that incidentally I swapped motherboard, ram, cpu and graphics card since I purchased my X-Fi last year. This leads me to the (hopefully not too far fetched) assumption, that in this special case it might actually be the soundcard itself that is causing the problems with playing sounds.Message Edited by lontomer on 06-05-2006 0:52 AM

New Toshiba 3tb external drive not recognized at startup WIn 7

My new toshiba 3tb external drive (with wall wart power) is not recognized at start up (Win7). The message I get is that it is a USB storage device but can not be used until it is formatted (I already moved files to it). If I plug it in after start up it's fine and shows up as a toshiba storage device. I've used the 2.0 and 3.0 ports and it is the same problem (it has wall wart power). I have never encountered this problem with any other usb storage device (an iomega 1tb and a WD 500gb) always plugged in and recognized at start up.
Thoughts?

Please provide your complete model number of your system.
By doing so, we will be in a better position to provide you assistance.
Thank you,

My new Macbook Air hard drive gone bad

My new macbook air hard drive just died on me last saturday while I was working on my paper. With that I've lost all my files. I took it to Apple store, but I was told that all they can do is to replace the hard drive for me.
I'm not really happy with the service. You pay so much more to get your money's worth. I was suggested that if I wanted to retrieve my files I had to take it to an outside source for about $500-$700. It's like buying a defective device that causes you some nasty injury and when you ask for their part of responsibility they tell you to take a hike.
I wish there was a law that would be more protective of people's time and (intellectual) property as opposed to leaving us to the mercy of, ultimately, the greed that drives these companies.

Dave Changizi wrote:
Fellows,
Please don't read my e-mail with your emotions. I have nothing against Apple other than my disappointment in this particular service that I received. I can make a long list of all the good things that Apple has brought in this world.
My point is this: whether Apple or a PC, when you buy a brand new computer, the manufacturer should not only replace the failed part (in my case it did, as is the norm in the industry), but TRY to retrieve the lost file(s), when is applicable, free of charge, during the warrantee period.
Does it make sense? I find this a very reasonable request/demand. Remember that, according to Apple representative, an outside source was potentially able to retrieve my files.
As a customer, I want to have a better service, especially when I pay more for the promised quality.
If we customers were happy with what is offered/or not, then we would have still worked 70 hours per week, our cars didn't a seatbelt, and ...
I hope this helps to clear my argument.
Cheers,
I understand where you are coming from, however, there is nothing that they can do. If the drive has been damaged and does not work, then there isn't anything that they can do. When those other places charge the prices that they do, it's to pay for them having to physically remove the platters from the drive that you currently had, and keeping every tiny spec of dust off them as a spec of dust could render the platter useless if it gets caught between the heads and the platters. This being said, they would then have to take those platters and place them in a new drive basically. Most people understand that there is nothing that can be done when something like this happens, they have external drives and they backup all their data. I have mine backed up on two seperate drives and in a remote location away from everything here. Let's put it like this, say you bought a house, and then you put a lot of your memories and things and whatnot into your house, say pictures, papers, things like that. Now your house burns down, would you expect the people that built your house be responsible and demand that they somehow get your pictures and things like that back from your house that were burned up? It's kind of asking the same thing that you would get if you were to demand that they somehow magically make your drive start working and get the information off it.

Installing a new Solid State Hard Drive

I recently purchased a Lenovo B575. I'm totally satisfied with the system, however, I would like to swap out the original hard drive for a smaller, faster, 32 GB SSD.
My plan is to host the OS and frequently used software on the SSD, and everything else (seldom used software, documents, media, etc.) on an external HD.
As far as I can tell, there is no real simple way to do this...which is why I'm posting here.
I've considered using a HD backup utility to copy (sector for sector) the data from the existing drive to the new drive, but due to the presence of a hidden partition, the size bloats to over the 32 BG capacity of the SSD drive I have.
I considered installing the new hard drive, and trying to restore my system using restore DVDs created by the OneKey software provided with the system, but it appears that the hidden partition on the original drive plays a role in the restoration of the machine.
I have also considered using a retail WIndow 7 Premium disc to do a fresh Windows install, but I can think of a couple of key problems that may arise...
1. An OEM product key may not be valid for a retail version of Windows
2. I may have problems reinstalling all the necessary drivers for the B575's hardware
What is the easiest way to install a OEM factory clean and original copy of Windows 7 Premium onto a new 32 GB hard drive? In other words...I'd like for windows on my NEW drive to boot up as it did the first time I booted up my computer.
Brief System Specs:
Lenovo B575
250GB HD
8 GB RAM (Came with 4 GB, upgraded to 8 GB)
AMD E-350 Processor 1.6 GHz
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit
Thanks in advance for any help.

i put a microcenter sandforce in mine.
here how i install win 7.
i get a 4gb usb key NO OTHERSIZE!
i download the windows 7 usb tool that will convert the disk into a iso and make the keybootable.
read the directions i normally just drag and drop now but i been doing the ms beta for years so do it the said way.
windows installs from a usb key to a ssd in 15 mins.
press the F12 button to select the key and boot from it.
the B575 has two disk options.
one is the standard 2.5 notebook drive.
there also a msata port open next to the tiny wireless card.
intel/ocz a few others make a 32 gb model that used in the rapid boot.
there running cheap too sata 2 speed not as fast as full size drives but close.
stay away from sandforce controllers-they power hungry there for a desktop.
a M4 is a great ssd as for the new samsung 830 it super light power wise HOWEVER i cant get mine to go over 255 read speed.
it comes with norton and ssd software that really good.
buy the desktop model it will install fine.
so if you want to clone or copy then the samsung 830 64gb model is a great buy at $140.this is a great notebook ssd but cpu is a little high on some disk tests but is one of the best drives made all samsung parts.
i felt the sandforce adata clone was a bit twitchy and battery life was not good even with brazos tweeker undervolting it.
the samsung also dose all the tweeks as well as very advanced ones.go the msata route and you get to keep the platter drive.and do the rapid boot but who needs a platter drive in a notebook with usb drive kits for 10 bucks and esata ports.
plus a rom drive.

Yet another x64 xfi thread... finally Beta Driv

Ok, a mate of mine told me that are some Beta xfi drivers out. A little bit of digging shows that there are indeed some drivers out but they are for Vista ie. http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?Product_ID=4000&Product_Name=X%2D Fi+Fatalty+FPS&OSName=Windows+Vista+64-bit&OS=27&DriverType=0&details=
If this is true, then maybe xp64 drivers will be out soon. What i cant understand is why release beta drivers for a Beta OS, when there is a commercial OS that needs a decent driver. Is there any news of some beta x64 drivers comingsoon. Reason i am wanting these drivers
Rant Over
Just to add there was a thread on Future mark saying taht these drivers work for xp64bit tooMessage Edited by Bo on -3-2005 09:27 AM

We know....
Btw, they work on windows 64 , just run the setup let it unpack when it moans about not vista
dont cancel but copy paste the dir it unpacked , then hit the cancel button because
the stupid exe deletes the unpacked folder when you cancel. Go to the dir
it unpacked and hit the setup button in the driver folder.
Let it install, reboot and then put ur install cd in and run the install
do not install the drivers from the cd but install any utils you want
and the system will now have windows 64 drivers and all the utils

[X-Fi Xtreme Gamer] Makes strange noises - then nothing. Beta Driver won't go away... *he

Hi Folks
I got some Problems with my xtreme Gamer:
When I started my PC yesterday everything was fine, but after a while the sound produced some strange failures? ending in just making a horrible high noise.
I tried kinda everything I could think of (Restart, install new Beta Driver (October 7th) but nothing helped either the sound constantly was this Noise or nothing. I couldn't even see that something is playing in the Vista Sound menu. After installing the beta driver I could at least SEE that something should be playing (but only in general, not app-related) but nothing comes out my speakers.
So I tried to went back to try the latest official release (2.8) I had 2.6 before. But the Setup always tell me that I have a never Driver installed and just let me confirm some EULAs and want me to restart without installing anything. After the restart the same...
I tried to remove any Creti've Data from my system: uninstall the device in the Hardware-manager, uninstall the driver software, delete all files that could be related ti creative on any HDD and the registry, used CClenaer and Driver Cleaner Pro...
but it still tells me that i have a newer driver in stalled... (in the Hardware-Manager I got the yellow sign)
So my questions are:
st. How do i swap this Driver off my system?
2nd. How do I get my sound working again?

Nvidia Verde 304.79 Beta Driver on GE620dx

Hi,
I've tried installing the new beta driver from nvidia, the Verde 304.79 Driver. It works fine with TSW and my GPU temps are stable, but the problem is that my integrated graphics seems switching every now and then even if it's idle (power button goes orange then blue every 20 seconds or so). Tried to play SF4 and FPS dropped so low. Anyone here experiencing this too? Thanks .

It's an nVidia driver problem. Neither one of the two new betas do anything but give me a black screen with GTX 680's in SLI. 301.42 works well. Best recommendation would be to report it to nVidia and stay with 301.42 for now.

How does one SUCCESSFULLY transfer Time-Machine backup to a new (larger) hard disk drive using OSX 10.5.8

I have read a number of articles about how to transfer a complete Time-Machine backup to a new (larger) hard disk-drive. Some of these articles are specifically for OSX10.6 users, which are not applicable to me since I am operating with OSX 10.5.8.
However, I have tried several times to use the Disk Utility 'Restore' function, dragging my old time-machine volume into the 'Source:' box and my new volume into the 'Destination:' box. This works, of sorts, BUT the newly created volume on the new larger hard disk-drive remains the same size as the original volume on the old Time-Machine HDD, with no apparent way of increasing the new volume's size. So I am not really any better off:
E.g. the total capacity of my new HDD is stated by 'Disk Utility' to be 465.8 GB, of which I'm told 228.2 GB is used for the Backups.backdb folder, but only 4.6 GB of free space is actually available. Yet under the 'Partition' tab of 'Disk Utility' it tells me that there is still 236.4 GB of available space.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue without upgrading to OSX 10.6?

First, how did you prepare your new drive? See:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
If you plan to partition this new drive then be sure you create a larger partition for TM than your old volume.
Next, clone your old TM volume:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4.Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
