SB X-Fi Driver Installation Problem (X-Fi does not install on Asus A8N-VM CSM

Dear forum members,
I want to install Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme on my Windows XP x64 Professional computer, but i am not able to succesfully finish 64bit X-Fi driver installation. Whether i use newer x64bit X-Fi beta driver or older official x64bit X-Fi driver, the installation of the driver stops at the end of the installation, when "CTDVINST.DLL" file is being installed and MY COMPUTER REBOOTS instantly. After the reboot, i am being asked to install Soundblaster X-Fi driver again and again. So all the X-Fi software installs well, but when i want to upgrade to x64bit drivers downloaded from Creative web site, the installation process reboots my computer right at the end of it, when "CTDVINST.DLL" file (it seems to be the last file in the driver package) is mentioned.
Help me please solve this problem, so that i can use my new Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme on my computer soon.
Thank you very much.
Michal D.

any help would be most welcome
--------------->
- new Windows installation did not help,
- it is not caused by x64bit operating system, beacuse it did not install neither on Win XP 32bit
- i tryed both driver updates (2 and 3) on both operating systems
- i tryed to start driver installation from X-FI Driver\Drivers\Support\ctzapxx.exe, no change at all
- i tryed to uninstall previous driver first through ctzapxx.exe as well
- i tryed to install the driver on fresh installation of both Windows XP x64bit and x32bit
driver installation reboots the computer just a percent before it should finish, allways, no matter how i try to install the driver
i have heard about Creative sending to some owners of nForce430 motherboards new version of Sb X-Fi, which works with nForce430, is it true?Message Edited by misadlouhy on 06-3-2006 05:23 AMMessage Edited by misadlouhy on 06-3-2006 05:24 AM

  • My iTunes installation via Windows 7 does not install the Apple Mobile Device Support file

    I have followed several suggestions to resolve the problem caused because of my update of iTunes does not install the Apple Mobile Device Support folder, thus making it impossible for me to sync my iPhone 4S to my desktop version of iTunes. I have tried to install the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi file and it almost completes the installation before "rolling back" the entire process and giving me a message that there was a problem with the installation. Has anyone been able to solve this problem. I use Windows 7. I have seem some :"solutions" that seem to work for some people, but not for me, and evidently not for many others? Finally, would it matter if I installed Safari on my desktop and tried to install iTunes using Safari?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Solution for PS CS3 installation problem on Vista does not work.

    I encountered the much discussed 2739 error when trying to install PS CS3 on Vista Ultimate. I followed the proposed solution. But instead of a dialog box I received the message: not recognized. I have the latest update of Java installed and I have IE as my default browser.
    What now? Return CS3?

    I did and got a friendly guy who apparently had never heard of the 2739 error. I was hoping to get some support here. In another thread I read something about holding the installation window until installation starts. I can try it, but I doubt I am quick enough before the error window opens.

  • TS3716 My relatively new ipod touch 16 gb either does not show up as a drive or everytime says it does not recognize my ipod when connected to add music.  I didn't have problems loading music originally, but this is a new occurrence.  Could you help?

    My relatively new ipod touch 16 gb either does not show up as a drive or everytime says it does not recognize my ipod when connected to add music.  I didn't have problems loading music originally, but this is a new occurrence.  Could you help?

    Hey, Thanks a lot.  It took quite a bit of time to resurrect this ipod.  I tried the upgrade again, but still would not recognize my ipod. So I went to the next step and reset my ipod, wiping of all of the information like it was new.  This helped my laptop see the ipod on itunes, but did not sync. So, I deleted the itunes off my computer completely, restarted and then reinstalled the newest itunes, and then restarted.  Finally, it recognized my ipod and started to download each song.  It took awhile as there was 602 songs, but finally it works.  Yea!!!  I never had any problem with my old nano, but this touch has been another animal for sure. Thank you again and also the community for information.  This was a helpful forum and will recommend to others if they get stuck with their ipod or iphone.  Take care, Karen

  • Can you upload Logic pro onto an external drive? Because my G5 does not  have 50 GB available for installation, Can you upload Logic pro onto an external drive? Because my G5 does not  have 50 GB available for installation

    Can you upload Logic pro onto an external drive? Because my G5 does not  have 50 GB available for installation, Can you upload Logic pro onto an external drive? Because my G5 does not  have 50 GB available for installation

    Logic 9.0.2 is the last version that runs on a G5 - 9.1.x is Intel only.
    If you have only 50 GB left on your system drive, you should consider it full. Get an external drive and move your music, movies and photo's to it, and delete them from your system drive to free up space.
    The free space on the system drive is being used by the OS to offload RAM, rule of thumb is to keep at least 20 % of the drives' capacity free. When you have less and less free space, your Mac will eventually become very slow (many "beachballs").
    I believe the current Logic Package has version 9.1 on it, be sure you have the correct (9.0) version...

    This is a completely different matter, the driver I mention is different and I m not stuck on the driver. it installs but is not loading correctly in the device manager.  This is an official driver from MSI, that does not install correctly, not looking to modify here.  Just wondering if other users have had a problem loading this driver.
    Please stop worrying about my posts and go about your business, you having nothing useful to offer on this thread.
    Hi I saw this on fofum in here somewhere. Try to completely uninstall nvidia drivers and intel VGA drivers too. Then delete nvidia folden on system drive. Run ccleaner for system crap and also registry. reboot. Then install Intel driver and nvidia DRV. It worked for the guy having similar problem.

    ODI 11g 11.1.1.7 with Win64 bit OS : Strange problem : Right click does not work for Create new data server in Topology.
    On right click nothing happens at all. I have  reinstall the ODI multiple times with right installer. issue persist.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    Did you use the generic installer or the win32 one ? You should use the former with Win64.
    You can also check that your version of Java is supported in the certification matrix.

  • Satellte C870 (PSC8EE) - Display driver for Win8 does not install anything

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite C870 bought in october last year.
    I upgrade it from Windows 7 to Windows 8 a first time just before Christmas and worked fine.
    (Some small issues suchas Bios upgrade needed before installing the display driver but all worked well)
    Few days ago I had a system crash and the HDD died.
    Send out the Sateite for HDD replacement and got it back with Windows 7
    Started last evening installation back to window 8 64.
    But the display driver from Toshiba site does not install anything ? Not even catalyst....
    Just get the request to confirm if I want to install the product and then nothing...
    Tried both drivers proposed from 19/02 and 26/02 but with the same result....
    Tried to install the driver directly from AMD ad got a message my card was not supported
    Tried Windows 7 driver from Toshiba site for my machine and got the same message....
    Graphic card is an AMD 75610M
    And of course I have admin access, and also tried to launch the Setup files in admin mode.
    And other drivers install normally (Lan Drivers, Wifi Drivers, Tempro, Eco mode etc)
    Thanks for your Help

    Thanks for your kind answer ....
    I had unfortunatly tried this option already before posting...
    Should have been more explicit in my post....
    *I have a solution working right now as I finally achieved to install Drive 13.1 from AMD site.*
    Even though I had to proceed with a manual installation.
    Sill consider a pitty the file from Toshiba is not working.

  • Imac-- Upgrading elements 10 to elements 12. Did successful backup of 10.  When restore to 12 message said the disk in drive My Passport for Mac does not contain a valid backup

    IIMac      doing upgrade of Elements 10 to Elementys 12.  Did full backup of 10 on my external hard drive "MY Passport".  Rec'd message backup successful.  Did restore on 12 and rec'd message "The disk in drive My Passport for Mac does not contain a valid backup".  Any help suggestions?

    The funniest part of the whole situation, Apple Care explained it to me as some kind of feature. The told me how to adjust the time when my computer sleeps and recommend I don't shut it down, let it sleep and "instant wake". I would bet if you called them about your Macbook, they would suggest you just close the lid and let it sleep rather than shutting it down.
    Basically shutdown and restart have a problem and the solution is to not shutdown is how they explained it to me. They kept saying buzz words like "instant on" and "fast wakeup". My computer already could sleep and wakeup fast, but now shutdown and restart don't work right. I called them 3 times about it, but since they use these buzzwords, sounds like Lion is meant for a Macbook Air or a Mac with an SSD. If you have a normal hard disk, some of the saving/versions/resume features take too long to be written to the disk on shutdown. And when you start again, it takes a long time to reload the system to it's previous point.
    Even if I uncheck the box to reopen windows on next start, it reopens them anyways.
    If they can't give me a better explaination or some kind of fix, I will have to go back to Snow Leopard. I use my Mac in a production environment and depend on stability. They assured me before I upgraded that it would be stable and all the new saving and versions features could help my productivity. So far it's not helping me and downright annoying. You need to close all your windows before you close the program... if you have 5 windows open in terminal or textedit... every time you launch, they will launch all those windows. I just really want versions, not resume it seems.
    But I can deal with it opening a million windows, just can't take it getting stuck on booting or not shutting down properly. This is a "feature" that should be fixed. LOL

  • My Windows 7 Ultimate {32bit} does not install driver for my LG HDD HXD5 320GB

    My windows 7 does not install driver for my LG EXTERNAL HDD HXD5 320GB & its attached using a USB.
    It works perfectly on Other computers having Windows 7 & Windows XP & Windows Vista, just doesn't work on mines.
    I have had internet connected when it was installing hence it got the opportunity to search Windows Update for it but it fails :(
    It works even on my computer ( I have DUAL OS) on windows XP SP3 but i need it to work in Windows 7.
    Please help Thanks :)
    & i have already tried tried the solution which was proposed for another topic in this forum on which it was to Uninstall the driver using Device Manager and unplug the HDD and attach again and let the computer detect and install it again, my computer
    does detect it but fails to install the drivers.
    My Computer has a 2GB of RAM & 2.40GHZ (32bit) with an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and had come with Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit installed, & i upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit which is completely updated to all the Updates that Microsoft
    had offered (using the built in Windows Update in Control Panel)
    I have got screen shots of it too.
    http://shumayal.fileave.com/HDD.zip
    PS: Same is the case with some of my USB Flash drives, but in their case they don't get detected at all but get in Windows XP SP3 (which is another OS on my pc) as well as on windows 7 and other OS on OTHER COMPUTERS but not mines in Windows 7.
    Thanks :)

    Hi,
    I recommend you try to update the BIOS and the motherboard chipset drivers for Windows 7 firstly.
    After that, please refresh the USB Stack:
    Control Panel – Device Manager – USB Serial Controllers – Right Click on EVERYTHING and UNINSTALL all except the category itself – Reboot
    . This refreshes the drive and the USB stack
    Then, right click on the LG EXTERNAL HDD HXD 5 320GB in Device Manager and select Update Driver Software.
    You may also try the Windows 7 built-in
    Hardware and Devices troubleshooter.
    Hope it can help you!

    Miya Yao
