"Setup has found a newer version of Creative Console Launcher on your system. Setup will now exit"

This is the error message I get every time I try to install the Creative Console Launcher version 2.61.35 for my Creative X-Fi Titanium.
I have uninstalled EVERYTHING, multiple times. All Creative applications, drivers, etc. Restarted in safe mode, ran driversweeper, restarted and re-installed.. No dice.
I even downloaded CCleaner and had it nuke my registry in case it detected some files that might be causing problems.
The weird thing is that I don't know how it is detecting a newer version of the launcher. The reason being is because the only launcher I ever installed was the one that came on the physical CD with my soundcard. The only other things I have downloaded and installed were:
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Driver 2.17.0008
DTS Connect Pack 1.03.08
Dolby Digital Live Pack 3.00.06
I also downloaded and ran the registry fixes that supposedly corrects the audio stuttering when DDL is enabled (I have experienced a lot of crackling/popping in Aliens Vs. Predators).
Anyways, I can apparently access the control panel just fine, but I like the launcher, and it's frustrating not being able to install it. This all started when I wanted to upgrade my driver, so I uninstalled everything before I upgraded, then when I went to reinstall the launcher, I got that message.
Help?

"If the software is installed correctly, and is the right version, then the updater should recognise it when it's installing."
Why wouldn't the software be installed correctly? I double-click on the installer .exe file and follow the instructions. If it doesn't work, fire whoever coded it!
More seriously, these problems are all caused by Creative's ignorant policies on their software installation restrictions. I mean it's Creative Recorder, not ?2000 worth of software here - why so bloody protecti've about which PC it will install on for God's sake?
Example algorithm for installation limited to Creative cards only: Check SBLi've! installed. Check Creative Recorder existing install. If existing, check version, and update. If not existing, install full version. Exit. Happy customer.
Creative seem unable to follow the above logic. 666% Ignorant. I won't be buying them again.
All the clean install instructions I have read on this site are FLAWED. They either a)require the original CD (WHY?! it's for Windows XP, wasn't even OUT when the CD was made!), and/or b)are riddled with mistakes/generalisations about what should work.
What I'm not seeing here is the truth - Creative make flaky software as their hardware is too good for you to want to upgrade, so this poor software CONS you into thinking you need new hardware. Nice one, waste the planet some more for no help to the consumer. Evil.

    Effects.
    And A EQ.
    Now All it has is Mixer.
    How can I get the other options back for my soundcard again. Please let me know.
    - Sincerely

    < Hey falmatrix2r, I also have the X-Fi Surround 5. USB and installing the latest drivers screwed up my stuff too. I also lost the On Screen Display functionality. I don't have a solution I can share with you, but can you read my post and let me know if you have a solution/suggestion for my problems? Thanks.

  • SB X-FI Surround 5.1-Creative Console Launcher !

    [color="#0000ff" size="3">Hi Everyone,
    [color="#0000ff" size="3">
    [color="#0000ff" size="3">I?recently bought the Sound Blaster X-FI Surround 5. sound card. When I installed the Installation CD which came along with it, it launched a Creative Console Launcher(Software to control Audio-Settings). Yesterday I updated the Creative Console Launcher Software through the Creative Software Auto Update option. I did it thinking that it would give me, it would add some more features to the Creative Console Launcher, but instead it seems when I updated the?latest version of Creative Console Launcher ther are?some features missing, some of the features have been removed from the latest version like for e.g. EAX effects had a lot of options like Amphitheatre, Theatre, Royal Hall etc. All these have been removed and there have been some changes in EQ Effects section also..
    [color="#0000ff" size="3">
    [color="#0000ff" size="3">My question is What is the difference between the Creative Console Launcher which is installed at the time of installing the Installation CD and the Creative Console Launcher which is updated through the Creative Software Auto Update option. Which one should one go for. Which is the best one.
    [color="#0000ff" size="3">Cheers !

    I see. So that's the reason. Since that the software doesn't work on the X-fi surround 5., does that means that using an optical connection wont have any difference with the direct analogue connection?
    By the way, I have a USB X-Fi Surround 5. and the logitech z5500d. Initially, I'm trying to maximise the potential of the speakers using the software and optical connection. Now that the software is not compatible, any suggestion on how to do it's
    Any suggestion on which type of connection to use (digital or analogue)?
    If digital, please provide me with the link to the suitable cable.

  • Has Anyone Found the New Version of the  iPod Radio Remote?

    Hi,
    Per iLounge, Apple released an updated ipod radio remote that has the most current version of Apple's ipod headphones as opposed to the shortened ones. I've checked on-line, Best Buy, Circuit City Compu World, Micro Center with no luck. I aslo tried the bricks-and-mortar Apple store...they looked at me like I had ten heads. Apparently they have the same sku as the old set.
    I posted a question to Apple Support, but no response yet. Has anyone found the new version anywhere?
    Thanks

    Thanks. I've submitted requests to Apple to find out if or when they will be shipping the new remote, but they have not responded within their promoted 24-hour timeframe. I'll try to order from Apple directly and hope I get the new headphones too!
    Thanks

    Did you recently erase and/or reinstall the OS?
    And, some details are needed: model/year Mac, Mac OS version running now and which version originally).

  • Now that CS5 has arrived, what does it mean for your system setup?

    Apart from nice added features, improved stability and increased speed, there are two major factors that impact on your system setup:
    1. 64 bit
    2. Mercury Playback Engine
    64 Bit only
    This means a couple of things:
    You need a 64 bit OS, you need 64 bit plug-ins and you can use much more memory than the 4 GB limitation that applied to 32 bit OS'es (with effective memory in the 2 - 3 GB range, depending on the Boot.ini switch).
    In practice, to benefit from the move from 32 bit to 64 bit, the recommended memory needs to be around 8 or 12 GB, depending on your mobo and chipset and the number of DIMM slots available. With current prices (May 2010) it is not yet economical to opt for 4 GB sticks.
    If you have a dual socket board with 12 or more DIMM slots, 24 GB is optimal.
    Mercury Playback Engine
    This is where it gets interesting.
    In the past, up to and including CS4 4.2.1, performance was largely impacted by:
    1. CPU
    2. Memory
    3. Disk setup
    4. OS & Tuning
    5. ...
    and finally by the video card. It did not really matter what video card you had installed. There never was any discernable performance gain from expensive video cards.
    The tables have turned.
    With CS5, installing a CUDA enabled video card has a large impact on performance and lessens the burden on the CPU. The GPU does a lot of the work.
    However, since the CPU gets a lot more breathing space, the CPU will no longer be the primary bottelneck, as was often the case in the past.  And since all DIMM slots in the average machine will be occupied, it is a costly exercise to exchange the DIMM sticks with larger capacity ones. People who have only 3 slots in use on a X58 motherboard can directly benefit from adding three more sticks, but this does not happen very often.
    So with the CPU running with a relatively low load and memory more or less a given, the only thing that may be a bottleneck to be improved upon is the disk setup. This can be seen easily by scrubbing fast through the time line with the popular AVCHD material. Due to the MPEG nature, while scrubbing one needs to look backwards and forwards to create the image under the CTI and that means a lot of disk activity. CPU is not a bottleneck, memory is not a bottleneck and the GPU is not the bottleneck, it is the disk setup.
    Do not be fooled by the claims that SATA2 or SATA3 have enough bandwidth to support the data rate of AVCHD or other MPEG streams. Tests have shown that significant performance gains can be achieved by using a large number of disks, preferably in a raid. This is especially true when one has multiple tracks.
    SSD's are not yet an economical alternative for conventional hard disks, with prices that are a factor 30 - 50 higher per gigabyte than conventional disks.
    Conclusion
    To fully benefit from the performance gains that CS5 allows, it may be that using a MPE supported card will lead to the disk setup being the new bottleneck. Be aware of that fact.

    at this point we are still trying to figure out whats up.
    bear in mind DV VS AVCHD or Red is a completely different animal. there is a lot to process on encoding vs DV
    we think the processors and HDDs are sitting there waiting on CS5
    even with Dual Xeon 2.8GHz 12 cores its no faster than the 980x niether are CPU pegging, HDD pegging or ram..
    interesting is the Dual Xeons will use about 10G (with 24G installed) ram vs the 980x using 6 (with 12 installed)
    dual Xeons have dual memoery pipe lines 1 for each cpu so we think thats where its coming from
    but we are still scratching our heads with a good deal of what we are finding in these benchmarks.
    most is pointing to CS5 coding.
    i am sure Eric will poke his head in here...

    Hello, hillbent. 
    Thank you for the question.  If you have verified that iTunes 11.1 is installed, you will need to rebuild your iTunes library file.  Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process.  Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

    You haven't actually asked a question, but as stated you should only download Flash Player directy from Adobe.
    Nor have you said what version of OS X and Safari you are running.
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
