No sound since I installed new drivers

I installed some newer drivers on my Li've! 24 bit sound card. Now I've lost all sound, I tried rolling back the drivers, still no sound. So I've downloaded the drivers 4 separate times now, still no sound. These are the drivers I installed.
Creative Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit and Sound Blaster Audigy LS driver .04.0055 (.9 MB)

So what do I do now? Can I uninstall the drivers? I'm worried if I do that will cause an error of some type, but frankly that's about all I can think to do. Should I try it, or try something else.
HELP!!!

Have you checked if there is some setting left ON (digital playback, muted channel(s), etc.) after installation?
Also,
- did you got some errer messages while installing?
- try re-install the update by running the ctzapxx.exe --> see the installer settings from -->

"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.

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

So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct? Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order? Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe.
The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver. If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details). When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver. The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).

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.

Installed New Drivers for SB Audigy2 ZS; Now My Sound Has the "Underwater" Eff

I installed the latest drivers for the SB Audigy2 ZS and I noticed that my sound now has that "underwater" effect. Sorry if I can't exactly explain it better, but I think you know what I'm talking about. I went to go play The Sims 2 after I installed the new drivers and my Sims are talking as is they are talking underwater! lol I really can't explain it. And I have Windows XP is that helps any......
Any thoughts on this?
thanks

Click on Start> ALL Programs > Creative > Creative Audio Console.
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.

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.

Install new drivers uninstall or just install over the old ones

do i have to uninstall my old mobo drivers before installing the new one's? or just install over them??

Quote from: Supershanks on 29-December-05, 04:31:38
It's safer to just install the new ones over the old with mobo drivers. It's graphics drivers particularly if changing between ati/Nvidia that sometimes require removal b4 installing new ones.
luck
Yeah, I just overwrite the mobo drivers with new ones as they usually only differ in small details.
For Vid Card drivers I like to use Driver Cleaner (Google for it - It's free & it will get rid of Mobo & Sound Card drivers too, if you wish) to root out all traces of a previous driver set before installing new ones. Unlike mobo drivers, different versions can vary greatly in content... if some of the old code is left over, it may not allow the new drivers to work properly.

Unable to install new drivers - Satellite 2450 (Win XP home)

After downloading and unzipping I find I am unable to install the new drivers (power saver). the setup halts and shows messages bout being unable to execute the command.

Hi
What exactly Satellite 2450-xxx model do you have?
I asked it because I have found many 2450 models with different power saver versions on the Toshiba driver download section.
Please be sure that you install right version

Temperature increase after installing new drivers

Hi!
As many others I have had problems with the incorrect temperature readings. But the temperature dropped from 54C to 34C when I installed the 1.8 version of the BIOS.
To get Cool'n'Quite working I installed the new Windows processor drivers from AMD. But after that the temperature reading (in Core center and BIOS) was up to 54C again...
Installing new windows drivers shouldn’t affect the BIOS CPU temperature reading, or...?
If this topic has been discussed in another post I apologise but I couldn’t find anything about my problem.

I'm actually mysteriously experiencing similar / same issue.... I remember the temp was @3XC first boot and back to messed up again after a reboot... but started yesturday.... situation seem to be backward... Now i'd get a reading of 5XC first boot, and dropped to normal after a reboot.... Really have no idea why... I think they fixed the temp in the V1.8 so that it works when it wants to....
Come on MSI, you can do it... It's so close... yet so far....

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?

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

Error message -50 ever since I installed new version of iTunes... weird!

A few days ago I installed the new/updated version of iTunes from the 'automatic prompt' which informed me there was a newer version of the software available.
Now, ever since I've been using iTunes upon start-up I get this weird thing happening:
1- ITunes opens, no problem
2- Progress bar appears on screen saying "Updating iTunes library" (which never happened before I installed the new version on iTunes)
3- An Error message appears saying "the iTunes Library files cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-50). Do not warn me again"
Well, my iPod seems to be sync-ing fine and I've not lost any music, so I'm confused as to what this error message actually means.
If anyone can shed any light on this or what I've done wrong I would be most grateful.
I don't fancy losing all my podcasts and music! Ouch...
Thanks!

I would check macfixit.com . there are several articles about fixing the -50 error. The latest article is free, the others require a subscription. This is from their very helpful site:
Another option for recreating the library to resolve -50 errors We previously reported that a full library deletion and restore may be required to eliminate -50 errors that occur while iTunes 7.3 is launching. The process we mentioned involves backing up the music library to another location, then deleting the original library and finally re-importing. However, you can also simply backup then create a new library at launch and re-import, as follows:
1. Quit iTunes
2. Backup your iTunes library (the folder ~/Music/iTunes) to a separate location (can be on the same volume)
3. Launch iTunes while holding down the option key and follow the steps to create a new library
4. In iTunes, choose Import from the FIle menu
5. Select the backed up ~/Music/iTunes as a source folder
6. Restore any deleted preferences
