Reinstall Drivers without the original

I've reinstalled Windows 98 on my friends computer but he doesn't have the original Creative CD. His sound card is the PCI 28.
I've downloaded and tried to install the drivers (SBPCI28Setupus_w9x.exe) and others. The install starts up the new hardware dialog. I've tried cancelling and the letting the install complete (it does) and selecting browse or select the card from the list. Neither works.
How do I install the drivers without a install CD? Is there another file that I need to download?

Got the same problem my self,my CD is broken and now i cant reinstall my Card !!
And i cant seem to find the drivers and utilities that i need from this page.
If this is how it's gona be whit all Creative hardware then im not buying anything else,as usualy i dont use the cd's,i download the newest drivers from the net to all my other hardware.
Only creative softwear i cant do it whit...
So i presume that my sound cards is just jumk now ? whitout the original CD... this sucks.

When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo without the original CD?

Hi,
apart from the MacBook Air this feature is of no use for other Macs right now.
Simply ingnore it (click "I already have the Drivers...) and continue with the installation.
Sorry to say but you need the OSX Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
The 3.0 version of the BootCamp Drivers is only avaiable on the disc.
Later updates (3.1 and 3.2) can be downloaded from Apples Support website.
Call Apple and ask for a replacement and they usually send you one for a small fee.
And have the Serial-Number of your Mac at hand when calling.
And since the OSX Install DVD can also be vital for maintenance and repair it is best to have one.
The needed BootCamp Drivers are on the OSX Install DVD 1 that came with your Mac.
Insert that disc while in Windows after the Windows installation to install the drivers.
Regards
Stefan

Installing OS to MacBook without the original install discs

I'd been having performance issues with my late-2007 MacBook, purchased in January 2008, for some time. At the recommendation of a friend I backed up my important data to an external hard drive, and subsequently wiped the MacBook's hard drive clean. When I went to reinstalI OSX, I discovered that what I thought were the original install disks were in fact from a relative's MacBook purchased some time later, and when I attempted the install anyway I got the error message "OS X cannot be installed on this computer." I tried re-partitioning the drive through Dual Utility, but that did not solve the issue. How can I get my MacBook working again without the original install discs?

So you didn't clone your hard drive prior to erasing it, you just selectively backed up important data?
What operating system level are you running? If OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion you can boot to recovery mode by holding the command and r keys down when you boot and redownload the operating system. If OS X 10.6 or 10.5, you can contact Apple support to see if they still have the original OS X disks available, or you could buy OS X 10.6 from the Apple online store (I'm told you can order them online once again or you can all them, which in the US is 800-MY-APPLE).

HT4718 I had a copy of Mountain Lion on my late 2008 MacBook Pro, having replaced Lion which it came with. But the drive,crashed, so I replaced the drive and reinstalled Lion from the original disks I had. How do I get another copy of Mountain Lion?

A 2008 Mac won't have originally shipped with Lion. You need to install 10.6.8 on the computer, log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID you used to purchase Mountain Lion, click on the Purchases tab, and download it.

How do I reactivate and install Adobe Acrobat on a new computer without the original disk?

I am moving to a new computer and the Acrobat disk I used to have got lost somewhere in the office environment... so, how do I deactivate Acrobat on my old computer and activate/install it ion my new computer without the original disk?

If you were using the same serial number then, yes. You are only allowed two installs and they should be on computers used by the licensee (you).
You would need to deactivate on any additional computers if this is the case.
Just an FYI, you are in the Adobe Reader forum. If this doesn't work, you'll want to head to the Acrobat forum where you'll find more experienced users.

Good luck.

How To Do The Unlocking Process On AT&T Iphone 5 Without The Original Nano Sim?

And after the "contract is finished" my sister avail another newer model of iphone from AT&T and she send the iphone 5 to me, here in Philippines, without the original nano sim. her son get the original nano sim of this iphone, and end up in the thrash can when her son avail newer version of iphone TOO fro AT&T... I ask my sister to contact AT&t to unlock this phone so that i can use in our country. She comply and contact AT&T for a request to unlock this device, and AT&T replied to the request. After a day AT&T send the "UNLOCKING PROCESS" to my sister. She email me the Unlocking Process sent by AT&T. I tried to unlock the device using the unlocking process sent by AT&T and the methods on the apple site >> iPhone: About unlocking but, to my dismay itunes and the iphone always respond me with the message "ACTIVATION REQUIRED" and "INVALID SIM" after restoring the device in itunes to IOS 8.0.2 or doing the the unlocking process.
Is there any other way to unlock this "Iphone" without its original sim?
This are the photos of the responses of AT&T regarding the request of my sister and the UNLOCKING PROCESS >>>>>>>

When i placed my old AT&T nano sim,( not the original sim came with the device when puchased), This SS is the result in itunes>>>>>>

I have all the documents, but can't locate my discs - need iphoto and can't get without the original.

If you buy used you have to be careful. I am not sure what software came with which system versions and which computers but the iLife application history is complex. If you end up looking for "original" discs such as those that came with your computer, make sure iPhoto was part of it, and make sure the discs you buy are really identical to the ones for your computer model. A lot of people sell gray colored discs as installer discs, but the versions are machine specific so getting any old Tiger installer may not work on your computer. Unfortunately the universal Tiger installer may not have iPhoto. Maybe somebody more familiar with the iPhoto history can provide specific advice.
An alternative is to look for a used iLife series that will work on your computer. Again, this will have to be used. Apple's staying ahead of the curve basically means those of us with old machines are left to fend for ourselves as best we can.

Can I move adobe acrobat 8 to a new pc without the original cd?

Can I move adobe acrobat 8 to a new pc without the original cd?

As long as you have your license key, you can install it as long as you can get hold of a copy of the CD or installation files (that is what TSN was saying might be difficult). However, you might what to mention the OS you are migrating to. That may be a compatibility issue that really suggests you should buy an upgrade (I think AA8 qualifies for the upgrade -- you will need to check at the Adobe Store). The upgrade does require you have the previous license number available.

Is there a way to save photos from lightroom without the original file?

I recently imported photos into lightroom, but I failed to save the original files on my computer and they are deleted from my card. The pictures are still showing up in lightroom. Is there a way to save them from lightroom without the original file?

Your images aren't - and never were - in Lightroom, they're just referenced in Lightroom's database.
Lightroom does generate jpeg previews of the originals though, and you can export those using Rob Cole's Preview Exporter plugin: robcole.com - PreviewExporter.
To be clear though, these aren't the originals.

I'm on vacation and my laptop was stolen. Is there a way to find my serial number without the original packaging? I bought those apple classes when I bought the laptop.

Sorry my error. It only shows the computer name not the serial number. Go with "themachead" response copied below:
In your Apple ID - Profiles:My Products if you filled it out. Not only that you might be able to, via Apple ID & iCloud sign up/in and activate find my Mac. If you have not activated iCloud you can do that too.

Erasing a MacBook WITHOUT the original install disks??

I am selling my MacBook. I no longer have the install disks BUT I have a new copy of Snow Leapard.
How can I erase my stuff from the computer WITHOUT the original install disks?

The "buyer" is my sister. She is not very tech savvy and will just be emailing and web surfing until the Mac book dies.
Still, the original startup discs contain things like the Apple Hardware Test that may come in handy.
Will installing SL erase the stuff on the computer??
If you want to, yes. If not, no.

I have a friend who I was helping out with his iPhone. He has since lost it. I believe I backed it up to my machine but have no idea where to find it. Is it possible to find it and read the back-up file without the original device being connected?

If he gets another device - you should be able to restore it from your computer to the point where you backed it up
Otherwise that file cannot be read

Is it possible to deactivate CS4 from a PC and transfer to a Mac without the original discs?

Is it possible to deactivate CS4 from a PC and transfer to a Mac without the original discs? The original discs were thrown away in a house move, but I'd like to transfer my CS4 applications from a PC to a Mac; is there anything I can do? Where is the serial number located?

Licenses are platform specific, so a Windows version will not install/activate on a Mac. Platform swaps are only supported for the most recent release (CS6). The only way you might be able to do that is to have a Windows emulator installed on the Mac so that you have the required environment.
