Ni 5640R drivers

Hi Sir,
I am vasu.I have started working on your NI-5640R(version 1.1) LabVIEW card with LabVIEW 8.2.
i have some doubts on this card.
i seen in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\examples\instr\ni5640R\Driver four VIs.
how can use these VIs.By using "Stream from Disk" VI i can get(i'll give sine .dat file) sinewave from card DAC output.
By using "Stream to Disk"VI can i get waveform what i given as input to the card.
tell me how can use these VIs for my requirement( i have to generate QPSK and GMSK signals).
regards
B.Vasu.

Hi Vasu
There were two issues to get the VI to remove the broken run arrow in the host VI.
The first issue is that the ni5640R DAC Enum.ctl and the ni5640R ADC Enum.ctl controls were somehow replaced with the ni5640R FPGA VI Reference.ctl control. So there was a mismatch in the data type. I’m not sure how this could have happened.
When creating a new project from one of the existing shipping examples, the instructions for “Using the ni5640R Template” in the “Getting Started with the NI PCI-5640R IF Transceiver and the LabVIEW FPGA Module”. Even though it describes starting from the Template project, the steps apply to starting from one of the other examples as well.
The second issue was that the VIs need to be bound to the ni5640R FPGA VI Reference.ctl control. This is an option on the popup menu when clicking on the Open FPGA VI Reference VI. In some cases, it may already be selected in the popup menu. In this case, unselect the Bind to Typedef option. For good measure, I usually selected the FPGA VI to use with the host VI, and then I reset the Bind to Typedef option. In most cases this should fix the ni5640R FPGA VI Reference.ctl control mismatches throughout the VI. In some cases, I have to Save All, close the host VI and all subVIs. Then reopen the host VI. This has always working in all cases for me.
If you still have an issue, it is probably another issue than what I saw in these VIs.

Input data format

Hi:
I am using ni5640r.
1. I want to transfer an array of data which is generated by labview from host to fpga by using Invoke method (write), do I need to set up I and Q before I transfer it and which format am I using U32, U16 or I16?
2. In FPGA, when I read the data from host and send it to FPGA I/O node, do I need to convert it to 14 bit?
Thanks
Austin

Please refer to the Analog Input Output example which ships with the NI-5640R drivers.

Released Version: NI 5640R Installer; Please update

Released Version: NI 5640R Installer; Please update!
The software for the NI PCI-54640R IF-RIO is now released. Before asking about any issues in programming the NI 5640R, please upgrade to the released version. This will also make it easier to look at example code if there is an issue.
Please download the new installer file (“ni-5640r100rc1.zip”) from the following location:
http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/199D73629DD50CDB86257116005160B6?opendocument&node=13206...
1. Remove your NI 5640R modules from the computer.
2. Un-install the version of NI 5640R currently on the computer.
3. At this time, it is recommended to un-install pre-release versions of LabVIEW 8.0, LabVIEW FPGA 8.0, and NI-RIO 2.0 and re-install the released versions.
4. Install the released version of the NI 5640R software.
5. Re-install the NI 5640R module.
Note: This new version of the driver handles the NI 5640R VIs differently from previous versions. Previous to version B5, different projects would use common NI 5640R VIs that were saved in the LabVIEW/instr.lib directory. This method prevents multiple projects from being open due to the Bind to Typedef option on the FPGA Target VI.
The new method saves copies of all NI 5640R VIs to a directory in the project. This allows different projects, with different typedefs to use the same VIs at the same time.
This will result in projects saved in the previous method from not finding the NI 5640R VIs. The easiest method to convert to the new method is to resave the NI 5640R Template example directory, and copy the changes from the previous VIs to the new VI. Ensure that you use the NI 5640R VIs that are part of the new project.

A new version of NI-RIO for Real-Time OS/Windows 2000/XP has released.
If installing the ni5640r software for the first time, please install NI-RIO Version 2.1 before installing the ni5640r software.
If you are re-installing the ni5640r software and you have NI-RIO 2.0 installed, please uninstall both the ni5640r software and NI-RIO version 2.0. Then install NI-RIO version 2.1, followed by the ni5640r software version 1.0.
Note: Updating NI-RIO from version 2.0 to 2.1 is a recommendation, it is not required. If you are already reinstalling the ni5640r software, it is a good time to keep up to date with the latest released drivers.
The current version of the NI-RIO driver (2.1) can be downloaded from this location:
http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/8FBECA88CF87D34F862571C600566283?opendocument&node=13206...

5640r programming

Hi,
I am using
ni5640R card in a PCI slot using API Interface (5640R instrument driver V1.2).I
am using LabVIEW 8.5.1 and PC is loaded with Windows XP.
I have the following doubts.
1. I tried to generate a
sine wave using API interface.I got the analog output and viewed the result in
an Anritsu spectrum analyser.I could observe the waveform from both analog
channels AO0 and AO1one at a time.I could also vary frequency and amplitude of
the sine wave.I want to monitor the digital data (before it gets up_converted
and analog converted) in the PC itself using PCI bus interface or modulation
toolkit(MT) .Please explain me how to achieve this.
2.Please explain how to access
(acquire) output of any digital blocks of the VI in the PC using LabVIEW or
MT.
3.It is also
found that LabVIEW FPGA module can be used instead of API.I am using NI LabVIEW
FPGA module V8.5.1.Though I tried to use this toolkit several times, I couldn't
make it functional.When FPGA module is used , 5640R card is not detecetd .But
when 5640 API is used, card is detected.Because card is not detected while using
FPGA module, I am not able to program or proceed further.We also have installed
the NI RIO software of version 2.4.When RIO is installed it shows a list of
hardware it support in which 5640R is not shown.When FPGA module is used , the
device list is same as that shown by RIO.(5640R is not found in that list also).
I came to know that the FPGA module works only with NI RIO V2.3.1. Is it so? Can
you tell me what is wrong and help me to use FPGA module for programming
5640R?
Please advise on this
Thanking You

Hi,
1. PCI-5640R has a 14bit DAC and hence the I,Q data sent to the DAC are represented by 14bits, which is basically x*2^(13).
2. http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-1710 has some examples using MT and NI-5640R instrument drivers.
3. I guess, the issues is with the order of installation.
 a. install LV
 b. install LVFPGA
 c. install NI-5640R 1.2
After
installation if the PCI-5640R is not shown as the target, then run
<LabVIEW 8.5>\Targets\NI\FPGA\bin\lvfpga_make_resource_cache.exe

NI 5640R & linux

Hi,
I am working, in Windows, with a NI-PCI 5640R with Labview 8.0 and FPGA Module installed.
Is there the possibility to use this board with Linux? I haven't found the driver for this board so I am pessimistic but I would have a confirmation...
If not, will be the drivers avaible in the future?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Emanuele

Hi Emanuele
At this time, there are no plans in the short term to support the NI 5640R on LINUX.
This may change in the future as we are constantly looking at what our customer's needs are.

Reconstruction of IF siganal using NI-5640R

Hi,
I am trying to reconstruct the recorded Baseband IQ Signal in the QAM mode or in the Interpolation mode at 70MHz using NI-5640R.
Details of the recorded file is as follows
Samplerate : 3.125MSPS(3.125MSPS of I and 3.125MSPS of Q)
bits per sample : 16bits for each I and Q
Allignment of data: Alternative I and Q
I have tried in the QAM mode. The code is attached. I am able to generate the signal with some gaps. But I need to generate the signal continously. I need to get the data from file and I need to generate the signal continously with out interuption till the end of file.I am using LabVIEW 8.2 and the version 1.2 drivers.

Sandeep-
The Shipping Example called "ni5640R Analog Input and Output" does exactly what you are looking for. By default, its generates a single tone (sine wave) and output's it to AO0. It also reads in AI0, so all you have to do is connect them together and you should be all set.
Also, please keep IF-RIO (NI 5640R) questions limited to the IF-RIO forum as you will usually get a faster response.

PCI-5640R for my thesis

Hi everyone!
First, I apologize for my english, but I'll do my best to be understood
So, I'm starting with my thesis that I have to defend at the end of this year, and my mentor(?) gave me this PCI-5640R card to explore. At this point I must say, that I'm totally rookie with this Even more, I don't even know how to explore it. OK, I installed card in my PC, installed LabVIEW, drivers for the PCI card etc. It gets complicated or frustrated when I try to run some demos - it has always some errors.I read "Gettting started" thing, but still no success A lot of "VIs" is missing while loading example.
All I have to do is to run some demos for PCI-5640R card that will demonstrate it's functions and capabilities. And my thesis is basically done...well, still have to dome reasearch on SDR, DPS, LabVIEW etc.
Any help, suggestions will be more then appreciated!
Best regards from Slovenia!

Senad,
I think I could better asses what is going on if you tell me what software you are running.
Please tell me your:
Operating System Version?
Operating System 32 or 64bit?
LabVIEW version?
LabVIEW 32bit or 64bit?
Are you using LabVIEW FPGA?
NI-RIO Version?
NI-5640R Driver Version?
These National Instruments software versions can be found in Measurement and Automation Explorer with the exception of the NI-5640R Driver. The NI-5640R driver version can be found by going to control panel >> add/remove programs >> National Instruments Software.
Also, if you write down a few of the missing file names it might help me figure out what is missing.

I get the file downloaded (LJEnt-color-M551-Drv-no-installer_12297.exe), i run it, get the security warning and Run. the file extracts - then POOF, the installer is gone.
where did the files go? They aren't on the root of the C: drive, a folder/files were not created on my desktop, no files or folder created in my downloads folder.
I was never asked for a file save location.... ??? really? is this this basic stuff?
Where are the files? this $$$ printer is a brick until i get drivers!
Thanks!

UPDATE- I FOUND THE FILES!!
First of all, HP... i'm not impressed.
All the files for all the drivers are in a series of temp folders...
C:\Users\-myusername-\AppData\Local\Temp\3\7zS4A73
really?
hope this helps someone.

There is no change to this problem after 6 months since the last post. Put simply, and as stated in the previous posts, there is no way to scan a document and receive the image on your PC. If you are working with graphics for any length of time or want to create an image for inclusion as an image in a document or web page using this piece of equipment will not allow you to do so.
Great shame as every other function works well - it cannot be beyond the wit of HP to include a Windows application that enables you to scan an image, receive it in the software you are using at the time (e.g. Outlook, Word, Photoshop...) and use it in your work.
HP Printers several years older than this £1000+ Enterprise printer were able to do this simple job and have done so for a great many years. Just being able to use Microsoft's Fax and Scan would be start.

X201 Tablet: Drivers not working for Network controller on Windows 7 Pro x64

Hello,
After downloading and installing all LAN and WLAN drivers for X201 Tablet, I couldn't find one that works on Windows 7 x64.
How can I proceed?
Thank you in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I fixed it by downloading this drivers:

Problem with installing and running some applications or drivers

When installing and installing some items, towards the end of the installation I get this message:
/System/Library/Extensions/comcy_driver_USBDevice.kext
*was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact product's vendor for update*
The end result is that some things do not seem to work properly, such as my HP printer. Would anybody have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Thank you for your response. Originally, I had a problem with Airport and ended up reinstalling Snow Leopard. Since then, when downloading upgrades etc, such as HP printer drivers, iTunes etc., towards the end of the download when its running the script, I get this message: /System/Library/Extensions/comcy_driver_USBDevice.kext
+was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact product's vendor for update+
Sometimes, the download hangs and is unable to complete. The main problem I've encountered so far with an application is when I use the printer to scan an image via Preview, it's blank: there's nothing there.

Questions on Drivers & printing to networked Windows computer (CANON)

I'm trying to print over a network, to a CANON printer connected to a Windows PC.
My initial attempts resulted in the document being printed 75% smaller on the upper left corner of the page only. (Margins etc. are all fine).
Sounded to me like a driver problem, so I downloaded the latest driver for OS X(from CANON). I installed the driver, but now, when I try to setup a new printer, I still can't see my printer model (ip5000) in the available list. (The options are either Generic or one of the gimp drivers that came with OS X).
Where did it put the driver? - How can I make the printer use it?
And, how do you un-install a driver? (in case it doesn't work)
Thanks.

Hi there,
The drivers for the Canon PIXMA range of printers are not designed to work across a network, they are for direct USB connections. As has been mentioned numerous times in this forum, if you want to print to a Canon BJ printer that is networked, ex. shared by a Windows PC, you need to use the CUPS (GIMP) drivers that are included with the OS. The only exception to this is for the R series of the PIXMA printers, which have an Ethernet and wireless connection. There is a Canon network utility that redirects the spooled file to the remote printer.
Try using the S800 GIMP driver. You will have to open the driver properties and set it to Text to get good quality printing.
Better still, download the latest release of Gutenprint 5.0.0 and use the iP4000 driver. It works nicely to my iP5200R hanging off an XP SP2 box.

Paul

How to uninstall print drivers Canon MF4150 issues

Hello all, I am having a nightmare of a time getting my Canon MF4150 to print. It looks from all of the threads on here it was a less than ideal choice for a Mac owner.
When I first bought the unit I managed to get it to print, everything seemed peachy.
Problems arose when I wanted to use the unit to scan. I downloaded a variety of third party software and drivers in an attempt to get the scan function working. I had mixed results, and this process seemed to upset the printing side of things. Once I scanned a document, the printer would then not work.
I abandoned the idea of scanning through the MF4150 and have gone back to dedicated Epson scanner.
Since then I have not had any luck getting the printer to print again.
I have gone through all the MF4150 related threads on these boards I can find, and followed the process to installed outlined here - https://discussions.apple.com/message/7657893#7657893 but to no avail.
I really just want this thing to print and it's driving me nuts.
I have the printer attached directly to my MacBook Pro running 10.5.2. I'm not trying to print through the Airport.
I would like to know how to completely uninstall any UFR II drivers and related software / information and start this process from the beginning again.
So far, using the answer provided by PAHU here https://discussions.apple.com/message/7657893#7657893
I have -
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
> DONE
2. Select the MF4150 printer and press the minus " - " button to remove the printer. Do the same to any other printers that are in the printer list.
> DONE
3. Hold down the Control key and click in the empty printer list. A window showing 'Reset printing system' will display. Click this.
> DONE
4. Close the Print & Fax utility.
> DONE
5. Run the Canon UFR2 v1.70 installer and select Uninstall when the Easy Install menu appears
> This is where I get snagged. I'm not offered a Uninstall option. I have attached a screen grab of the window I am presented with. I am currently trying the "o1141enx_m_ufr224" version of the UFR driver. I have continued to complete the points below regardless of the fact i cannot uninstall.
6. Restart the Mac and run the v1.70 installer again to add the UFR2 files back onto your Mac
7. Go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Select the Mac OS X partition in the left pane and select 'Repair Disk Permissions'. When this has completed, quit Disk Utility
8. Open Print & Fax and add the MF4270 again
9. Open TextEdit, type some simple text and select to print.
10. Report back if the above doesn't get you printing.
I have also attach a screen grab of the process I go through when adding the printer.
Any help with this would be amazing. I've tried everything I can think of.
My latest idea is to try and remove any trace of previous printer drivers and go from there. You can see in my list of available drivers in the file attached I now have all sorts of UFR drivers in the list.
Again, if anyone can throw me a line on this that would be great.
Thanks & Regards
Coz

Hello Coz,
It's been a while since you've posted, I hope you have not given up. I was having grief with my MF4150 as well, but got it working. There is a more current driver - search for Mac_UFRII_V230_uk_EN and install it.
Then, when you go to add your printer through System Preferences > Print & Fax, make sure you click the "default" icon in the top of the dialog. It should show your Canon MF 4100 series , then use the bottom drop down menu to choose your driver and select Canno MF410 Series UFRII LT (UK) from the list.

?intel iris drivers on macbook pro retina 15" 2014

hi all, i need help i'm lost
it's been 3 days trying to install the intel iris graphic card drivers for the iris 5200 that is shipped with nvidia 750m on the macbook pro 15" retina 2014 and i'm not able to install the drivers.
i installed the preview version of win10 and i rolled back to the preview version of 8.1 both 64bit
and there is something weird, because my bootcamp is only able to install a preview windows version, even having a pro version with product key of 8.1, at the end of the installation, windows say that the changes on my computer can't be saved, so no working windows 8.1 pro
as you are aware, bootcamp download the intelLegacyHdGraphics64.exe together with all other drivers like the nvidia one.. but only the iris drivers will be not installed. the error message is always the same: this computer does not meet the minimum requirement for installing the software.
so, i went to intel site and i downloaded all available drivers, the intel SDK for ocl applications... 2014.exe, the "opencl runtime 14.2x64. package.. installed correctly.
what i'm not able to install are all drivers i could find on the site for the iris.
Intel® Download Center
but i'm getting always this message: this computer does not meet the minimum requirement for installing the software.
the nvidia 750 works as expected, and i did try everything to install the iris drivers.
i also tried to uninstal the nvidia drivers also using the device manager, not just simply disabling it.
and after booting again.. the iris is not listed in the device manager, just the microsoft default display. and trying to install the drivers manually failed too, but that was expectable since there is no intel iris menu from which to pick manually the drivers.
if i try to install using the compatibility tool i get the message that the os is not supported
I'm lost lost lost
did someone try to install them? maybe had luck under a win7? or it is a lost war?

I Want to use luxrender and luxmark on windows too
the benchmark score of the iris 5200 in osx mode is 4880 while the score of the nvidia is 900/1100
that is a huge difference in speed
I am unable to search http://www.luxrender.net/luxmark/ for benchmark data. Is there another way to get to these numbers? If you use the nVidia that is currently exposed to windows, do you run into any issues for Rendering?
Edited: on my acer running win7, i disabled the intel graphic card for the sake of Nvidia 330m from bios, and it works
this should be possible in win 8.1 too? as i know those setting aren't anymore available as bios mode.
is there a way to unhide the iris 5200 and permanently disabling the nvidia 750 in windows?
You may want to start by looking http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1658931.
btw maybe you can answer to this. Running luxmark in yosemite, when i benchmark using cpu, iris, or cpu+ iris the fun becomes noisy as it should, but if i benchmark just the nvidia card the fun doesn't start. and this should be not normal at all.
This seems to be normal behavior from my experience. The integrated GPU (CPU+Iris) produces much more heat than the discrete nVidia. If you do not have a case on your MBP, put your palm on the bottom panel, and run both tests. You can also use something like iStat to look at the temperatures of various components while running tests.

Creative Audigy 2 NX OLD and undercapable drivers are way below industry standa

Hello All,
I have tried not to push this, for the past year, but I have really reached the end of my patience. The driver support for the Audigy 2 NX (USB-External) sound card is nearly 'non-exsistant'and it is have a major adverse effect on my gaming.
It has been more than a year since Creative has taken the time to provide the many owners of the Audigy 2 NX -USB sound card with a driver that is anywhere near the capabilities of the sound chip in our device. We do NOT have support for Open AL, we do not have 'REAL' support for EAX 3 or 4 (I mean a driver that REALLY works on most; Lucasarts, EA, and Valve games), and NO HD 'Dependable' support in games or DVD play back.
This is a crime, seeing as this card costs JUST as MUCH as the Audigy 2 ZX (that I also own, and bought FIRST for my HP zd8230us... and used until HP Tech support told me to NOT use the PCMCIA card) and yet has Half the features and lass than /4 the driver support... for the same money!! That is right, I said 'Crime', because I have been buying and using ONLY Creative cards for the past years and have never EVER seen Creative turn their backs on a product the way they have done with the Audigy 2 NX.
Let me be 'Brutally Honest' about the lack of support and 'Expanding Use' of a FINE audio chipset. While Creative has regularlly expanded the features and use of the chipset in the ZS notebook card (added EAX 4.0 support, refined the HD support, and made regular driver updates), they have left the owners of the NX sound card BACK in the 20th Century. There is NO support for; EAX 4.0, Open AL, OR THX for my NX the very same people have gone out of their way to provide ALL of those features and regular updates and expansion of these SAME features in the ZX Notebook card. I have both of these cards, and have used both in my HP Pavilion zd8230us Notebook computer. I have to be clear and precise, the difference in; sound, use, and capabilities of the ZX to the NX is like putting a SB 'Li've' card against and Audigy 4 card. I paid the exact same amount of money for BOTH cards, yet (because my mobo does not support the PCMCIA card) I am left with this 'Black Sheep' of the Creative family, and this has me at the point I am seriously thinking of never buying another Creative product for ANY of my four desktops and one notebook in my entire life.
I am experiancing problems with the NX card on; Half Life 2 and HL2 - Episode , ANY Lucasarts game (they work sometimes and mostly do NOT), MOST EA Games titles, and Activision games are not much better. In my current notebook hardware, my Audigy 2 NX is the 'Weak Link' in the chain. I have a Pentium 4 HT 650 (3.4Ghz-800 Mhz FSB), ATI X-600 PCIe 28MB video card, 024 MB 533 MHz DDR2 RAM, and XP Professional with Media Center 2005. My Audigy 2 NX is what is keeping this system from reaching it's FULL and AWESOME capabilities in; Gaming, DVD playback, TV HD audio, Media Center On Line services, CD & DVD Audio playback, and every other Audio aspect of my near cutting edge system.
This is completely unacceptable, and to add insult to injury. When ever I contact Creative support regarding updated drivers, or problems with the current *MORE than year old drivers, I am told "Creative has no plans to update or upgrade the drivers for your sound card". WOW, that is the lowest point in years of purchasing and using Creatives (usually) fine products and services. Why has Creative turned it's back on the awesome sound card/chipset and is there ANYTHING that a lifetime user of Creative products can do to get more and better support for the ONLY product you make that is compatible (as per HP) with my new notebook computer? I am dead tired of this product being the 'Bottleneck' in my system. I am frustrated, to the extreme, at the completely apathetic technical support for a 'same priced' item as the ZX.
What can a consumer do?
Terribly Desperate,
Enzo Matrix

OK, first; thanks for the link. It is very much appreciated. Next, this is the only card compatible with my Pavilion zd8230us (as per HP Senior Support Technicains). I was told that the Audigy 2 zx PCMICA was compatible (BY Creative), only to be told by HP that that card can and will do damage to my notebook. I find it very disturbing that Creative would suggest a product that would damage my computer! Last, the box (for the NX) says that it is 24 bit HD audio 96KHz/02db Signal to noise ratio. As well, it clearly states ON THE FRONT OF THE BOX:

"...EAX ADVANCED HD game effects" 

Sorry, but in English (at least American English) that means it supports EAX in games, yes? lol So, THEY Are the ones that decided to put that on the FRONT of the box, if it doesn't support it then they should have a class action lawsuit filed against them by EVERY SINGLE person that ever purchased an NX and we should be paid for; purchase price, pain and suffering, and puniti've damages. THEN Creative might learn a lesson. roflol

Now on to the 'driver' isssue. Simple, Alexs3d2, the American consumer expects 'Driver Updates'. Why? Simple, what version of Direct X was standard when the NX came out, and what version are we using now? Microsoft sees fit to improve the API that Creative is making money off of, but Creative does NOT see the responsibility to the consumer to keep UP with the technology that we end users update on a regular basis. Next, I am tired of people dogging ATI BECAUSE they have taken on the responsibility to issue monthly driver updates! Granted, Alex, you may well understand 'what' the driver updates ARE better than the average user. However, that does NOT dismiss the BETTER PERFORMANCE that WE experience every single we update or display adapter drivers! Just because slough (on the part of SOME companies) is accepted by a small cross section of the population does not mean that the rest of us should LOWER our expectations? of the company that WE keep in business. Least THEY forget that WE are the reason they ARE in business!!! Driver updates are GOOD. Driver updates are what end users EXPECT. Any company that does not want to support a product that is still on store shelves should just pack up and leave. Period. 

Last, here is a little quote from the back of the NX box. 

"USB 2.0 is only supported in Windows XP and REQUIRES ONLINE SOFTWARE update(s) from Microsoft and SOUNDBLASTER.COM..." 

How the hell am I supposed to accomplish THAT when Creative screws me out of what they tell me I require? 

In closing; this venue is not the only place that I have been sounding off a bout this problem. I have written Creative (SB) Tech support, and they are giving me 'double speak'. I have kept every single email that they have sent back, and cc'd to another email addy for verification. I li've in California, and you can not swing a dead cat without hitting an attorney. I WAS hoping that Creative would be GOOD and RESPONSIBLE partners, but they have forced my hand. I have filed a complaint with the California Department of Consumer Affairs, and am in the process of gathering users for the afore mentioned 'Class Action Lawsuit'. This way, the PEOPLE get to decide WHAT is responsible corporate stewardship, and IF Creative is acting in a deliberate way to misrepresent their products, and their capabilities and IF they should have to release Drivers just the way they tell us they are going to on the packaging!!

P.S. Umm, the whole Nazi thing... that is a bit over the top. I am Jewish, and Creative may have killed my love of their products, but I do not know of anyone that they have actually killed. If you know otherwise, let me know... that info could come in very handy in my class action lawsuit!! roflol
P.P.S. Looking at this forum, I get the impression that I am not the only person that feels screwed by SB and Creative. THAT should make for a VERY favorable jury pool for the lawsuit.

Windows Vista wont install Ipod drivers

OK I NEED HELP....
I have Windows Vista and I am trying to install my iPod Nano, but everytime I plug my iPod in it ask me to insert the CD that came with it. As I don't have a CD I just click to install drivers automatically. Than it gives me an error saying 'unable to install drivers'. The divers do show up in the device manger under- other devices but there is a little warning sign next to it. So I right click on it and update driver, which it then tells me that it can't update driver. I have the latest version on iTunes and Quicktime, and I have also done a restore on my pc. Spoken to Apple 4 times!!! got no where with them. My iPod works fine on Windows XP machine, but not my Windows Vista. Has anyone else had any troubles with Vista??

I'm not sure my problem with Vista is the same. New computer with Vista, and I'm trying to transfer my library from old computer to new one. I loaded latest version of iTunes. When I put in my apple ID, my acct balance and items in my shopping cart appeared. When I connect my iPod, it is recognized.
I found an article that gave two options for copying library to new computer. One was to use backup discs to RESTORE, and the other was to use the iPod as a hard drive. It says that it will ask if I want to restore when I insert backup disc, but it does not ask. I tried Import, but tht didn't work either. When I connect my iPod, it doesn't copy the contents from there either. It only gives me the option of erasing iPod and loading what is on new library (which is only about 12 songs). I get a msg that I am synced to another library and can only be synced to one. I still got that msg after I deauthorized the old one.
Any suggestions on how to load music onto new library?
Thanks in advance!
