Updating Drivers for Audigy 2

Hi,
I have a Audigy 2ZS Sound card and I havn't updated the drivers/software in well over a year. I know there are a couple of ways of updating such as using the creative Autoupdate feature or just downloading the drivers exe package. I guess my question which is the preferred method of updating drivers and do I need to uninstall any previous drivers or software?
Another Question I do have, is it always best to upgrade the creative sound card drivers due to fixs, or as I'm not having any real problems is it best to leave the drivers alone?
Thanks,
Matt

sni'ves,
Thanks you for your reply.
I have just downloaded the latest driver install package, ran the exe and it uninstalled my previous drivers and install the latest ones.
Once I did that I used the Auto Update Acti'veX program and installed all Essential, Critical and some of the Recommend updates which seems to have improved and even fixed some problems I was having. The downloads seemed to go OK, and removed any old software.
By the way is there a way to remove the MediasourceGo from start-up, apart from using msconfig?
Thanks again,

Update drivers for NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M

Need the updated drivers for NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M that comes with my Vaio Z VPCZ128GX , the drivers in eSupport are from 2010, and nVidia software does not detect the 330M card
VPCZ125GX

I've updated my VPCZ1 to 340.43 drivers but it still won't accept the transition to Windows 10, seems like they just want to find any excuse to back out of their promise of a free upgrade for windows 7 users. For anyone who is editing .inf files and still not able to get it to work, you need to update your intel drivers first. The process is a bit awkward, I tried to update the Geforce with a few pre-modded drivers, using the device manager. It would always freeze during installation or ask to reboot and start in 800x600 resolution. I also tried the latest intel drivers but was unable to update them at the time, so I gave up on the idea for a while. Later, I ran into trouble running GTAV, the game would start fine but suddenly crash to desktop while loading. I remembered how the latest driver broke the intel driver, so I rebooted with the laptop in "stamina", installed the latest compatible onboard graphics driver and rebooted in "speed" mode, which incapacitated the 2010 nvidia driver so I had a new "unknown device" under "display adapters" in the device manager. I pointed it to the 340.43 drivers (latest driver I could find for 330m which still uses inf files) which I modified earlier and success, GTAV now runs. Editing inf files is surprisingly simple, just find mention of "330m" in one of the inf files (which are lists of subsys numbers) and replace the subsys number with the one from your card in device manager when using the 2010 drivers. (there are alraedy a lot of them in the inf, I guess it's true that no two 330m are the same) I've always left it on "speed", ever since it booted with the new drivers, The GPU is easily underclockable using Precision X for more battery life. http://i59.tinypic.com/swd3lx.jpg Only side effect I know so far is that the screen rotation doesn't work, although I never tried it with the old driver combo.

I just purchased a Canon MG5220. I have installed all of the updated drivers for 10.7.3. The scanner is working wirelessly, but I can't add my printer. Any ideas?

With most multi-function devices, you need to run the printer manufacturer's setup/configuring program first. That will either "Add" the printer directly, or make it discoverable in the "Add-a-Printer" window. Look around, you probably downloaded that program when you downloaded the Driver.

Updating Drivers for video card?

I have a G5 Quad with an Nvidia Geforce 7800 GT video card (installed by Apple at the time of purchase). I wanted to see if there were any new/updated drivers for my card, but when I go to Nvidia's website the card is not listed, nor are any Mac drivers that I can see. I checked Apple's site, CNET Downloads, and Google, but I'm coming up with nothing.
How are the drivers for video cards updated? Are the drivers included in various OS updates? Am I just looking in the wrong places?
Thanks.

Thanks, maclover. And thanks for the warm welcome
My problem is specific to a piece of software... I'm using Lightwave, and recently added FPrime to Lightwave's functionality. FPrime is a third party plugin, and is widely used in the Lightwave community.
The problem is that if I open FPrime before OpenGL renders the objects in a scene on screen FPrime crashes (hard)... it's like a kernel panic and my only option is to shut down and reboot. However, if I let OpenGL render the objects first then FPrime opens fine.
I'm an active member of the Lightwave community, and I've been in contact with the maker of FPrime regarding this issue. My question about drivers stems from the fact that usually if something like this occurs then it may be related to the need to update card drivers.
Thanks agian.

STOP 0x0000007B Blue Screen Error after updating drivers for my P67A-C45

Hi!
I recently updated the drivers for my mainboard MSI P67A-C45. I did this with the update utility that follows this product. I choose the "update all" function so I'm not really sure what was actually updated but I remember seeing the bios and my realtek network drivers in the list of stuff being updated. Anyway, during (what I think was) the update of my BIOS (a CMD window appeared and started executing tasks) my computer suddenly restarts. I wasn't really paying attention during this process but it seemed like it wasn't finished and that the restart was unintentional.
Now during boot I get a Blue Screen message at the "Starting Windows" logo. The Blue Screen flashes by and my computer restarts instantly. It's a STOP 0x0000007B message which probably has to do with the drivers I just tried to update.
I have Windows 7 64-bit and I have tried the startup repair and the system restore function without any success.
Any ideas?
Can I revert these updates or maybe install the original drivers without formatting my hdd? I have the original CD that came with the board.
Best Regards
Victor

AHCI is a mode setting for the SATA controllers. You will find it in Integrated Peripherals. If you haven't set it to AHCI, it normally defaults to IDE mode. X79 platform being the exception. Yes. Remove LU5 & download & install all driver updates & such manually.
If your UEFI/BIOS did get flashed by LU5, I would recommend to remove the power cord from the PSU, remove the battery for awhile, clear CMOS, reset all the settings, especially check in the OC Section, CPU Features. Check to make sure there are no '0's showing. I don't know what your CPU is, so I don't know what to tell you to set the Core Ratio limit for each core if they are in fact sitting on 0. Disable Spread Spectrum & EuP 2013.

Need updated drivers for OJ Pro 8600 Plus Win 8.1 64 bit

My 8600 constantly loses it's connection to network and needs to be shut off and restarted to correct. I noticed my drivers are out of date, but when I try to download updated drivers, I am prompted for a password. My Forum password doesn't work, or the one I wrote down on origuibnal installation.

Hi,
Please download directly the following files (dated Aug-17-2014) and install to your computer, much faster this way and no need to enter password:

Updating drivers for Windows 8 boot camp

Hi there,
I just installed the full release version of Windows 8 (available through my University) in boot camp. However, the drivers for several devices aren't working properly and should be updated. My question is, if I update the drivers so that the devices are compatable with Windows 8, will the drivers then be mismatched when I revert back to OSX?
Thank you.

Sorry, didn't realize that there was a boot camp community - probably a better place for my question. I will repost there. https://discussions.apple.com/message/19847211#19847211

Where I can find documentation and updated drivers for Labview 3.1.1?

I'm running LabView 3.1.1 on a PowerMac 7600 and I have run into some difficulties geting it to work properly. The documentation has been lost and I cannot find it online anywhere. Any help with this and updated drivers would be greatly appreciated.

I have LV manuals going back to version 1. I still have a couple of systems operating in version 3 so I will not give up my manuals, but I may be able to help in some way. They are a set of eight books totalling about 6 inches thick. Is there something specific I may be able to help with?
A recent posting on this forum was from a museum of old computers and early LV systems. They were looking for stuff older than yours. I don't know if they could help or not.

Drivers for audigy 2 va

I ordered my soundblaster audigy 2 value from a reputable online vendor and received the goods through the post today. However the driver cd had a hefty crack right in the middle, rendering it completely useless.
No problem I thought, I'll just download the drivers from the creative site. Three hours later I'm sitting here writing this in sheer disbelief that I cant find a single driver for love or money.
Let me just say its the first time in all my years of experience I have been unable to find the required drivers for a piece of hardware.
Do these drivers exist anywhere online, or do I have to waste god knows how long sorting it out with my retailer? I sincerely hope somebody can point me in the right direction, because frankly this is a ridiculous state of affairs that could have been sorted out in minutes if Creative had the same level of product support offered by practically every one of their competitors.

I had made a similar post previously, and if you read these forums, it seems a lot of people are being inconvenienced by not having available stand-alone drivers. I bit the bullet and paid for an installation cd to be shipped to me, and it seems you might need to do the same. To bad writing drivers is not an easier process!

Updated drivers for intell graphics 4000

I am trying to get OEM (HP) updated graphics drivers for the Intel graphics 4000. Paid money to play a game on my laptop,and had no problem until they came out with a new updated version. Now the game crashes when it gets to checking graphics settings? The games tech support people said I need the new Intel graphics driver. when I try to update the driver from Intel, it tells me that i have an OEM driver and to check with the manufacture (HP) for an updated driver.
HP's latest driver is dated 09/2013 intel's latest driver is dated 01/2015 and there have been 2 updates since 2013. Is HP going to put out an updated intel graphics 4000 driver, Please tell me how to override OEM and update from Intel??

Sorry mate, your gonna have to downgrade your driver in order to get the game running. I too have an Intel HD 4000 however mine is not OEM meaning i can upgrade with intel. Trust me I have overriden this in the past and your display driver WILL CRASH if you attempt it because it can only run HP's modded version. Just run the installer for the old version of HP's driver and run the game afterwards. P.S Sorry, HP have updated my 3000 driver (rare move by HP).

What Vaio Models Are The Updated Drivers For Windows 10 Going To Be Compatible With?

I have a Sony Vaio (Model Number: VPCEJ16FX) and am wondering what models of Vaio will be supported by the updated drivers?

I understand that Sony is not to support endless models of the computers that have been placed by them out on the open market, however Microsoft itself has found a need to include windows 7 computers within their list of computers eligible for a free upgrade. As such, when Sony tells us that they will not participate in the upgrade, they essentially tell me that if they create a product that fails, that they will not support it at all, and leave all their loyal customers to fend for themselves. I have been a long time supporter of Sony and have unbelieveably been an ambassador for their company, for years since I was a child, I owned Sony Walkmen, minidisc players, DVD players, televisions, ALL OF MY COMPUTERS EVER WERE SONY, sony rewards, sony wheelers (wheel of fortune) club, Countless car stereos, home stereos, Sony dream machine alarm clocks in every room, playstation, PS2, PS3, periferals, cases, Imagestation, Sony eMarker, many of which have failed, and we accepted those failures in fact and still continued on supporting your innovation and knowhow because you continued support or somehow some way still found a way to make things right, KEEPING OUR LOYALTY!!!! And now we find ourselves here, a company that's failing little by little, when I see that they do not support drivers for computers they built NOT THAT LONG AGO, and which Microsoft themselves will support, it makes me wonder. Why should I continue with a brand that keeps facing triumphant failures and doesn't seem to care anymore about the people reliying on what products the company has put out on the market? Is this the beginning of a trend we will see from now on? I REALLY REALLY hope not. You make great products but when something goes wrong if you do not support it and make it right, you're worthless. Why? Because something eventually goes wrong with even the best of things, and you need to learn again how to make things right. Windows 10 has been in the works for some time now, and I know that Sony still had access to developer models for almost a year now, and yet still we have to wait another month. I expect nothing but the best from this company, because they set the standard so high. Glass half full, you built me a fantastic computer that still works great everyday! You need to support and recognise that, use it as a testament, an advertisement that you build great things, keep your flame alive, keep supporting, improving, developing and innovating, and you will find your numbers will turn around. I hope to see some Win 10 drivers, patches, SOMETHING available in the not too distant future that somewhat mirrors what microsoft is ready to support. Thank you.

How to update drivers for Lenovo IdeaCentre C560?

Hi all,
I have PC Lenovo IdeaCentre C560 with Windows 8.1.
There is installed LSC (Lenovo Solution Centre), which has "System" section and inside it is "Lenovo software update" block, where LSC advices me "Go to Lenovo's website to update the Lenovo software on your PC".
But there are thess problems:
There are 20 drivers for C560 for Windows 8.1 on Lenovo website.
Which of them I have to download and install?
I have tried at my Device Manager to verify for all of my devices to be last update (it was terrible work) and I always got information that my driver is up-to-date.
Somebody have told me that LSC is not SUITABLE for C560 machine.
So I have these questions:
Does anybody have installed LSC on his C560? A does it work fine (so it find and install always new driver) or he only get abstract ionformation Go to Lenovo's website to update the Lenovo software on your PC?
Are there other possibilities to regularly update drivers then LSC?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dragnote,
maybe it was caused my terrible English, so I will try to explain relevant aspects once again:
1) I bought my Lenovo IdeaCentre C560 (part number: 57322363) on 22th of May this year from "stone" shop, not through internet. The Web site of this shop is www.mironet.cz, but there is not my PC there in actual supply, because the shop stopped to sell this model. But the parameters etc of this model is on Mironet's Web site here:
http://www.mironet.cz/lenovo-ideacentre-c560-23quot-fhd-intel-core-i54570t-36ghz-8gb-1tb-dvdrw-nvidi...
but is is in Czech language.
2) My Windows are in Czech language, so I will translate it for you into English and therefore some informations/messages can be not fully exact. OK?
2) The LSC program was installed on my new PC with MS Windows 8.1 64-bit. I was only wanted to USE it! And why not. I got with PC only very slim User's Book, where was nothing much usable. And nothing about updating system and drivers, nothing about backuping etc. So I started to use SLC, because it was preinstalled there.
3) Problems of detect WHICH driver I have to update and HOW to do it:
3a) I tried three programs for detecting of my not-to-updated drivers: SLC, Detective and Smart Driver Update with these results: SLC only advice me to go to Lenovo website, Detective and Smart Driver Update gave me list of my not-to-update drivers, but the lists were rather different.
3a) The link I provided, http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/ideaCentre/message-id/9220, lists 20 drivers and all of them were released in period between 16 Oct 2013 and 01 Dec 2013, so I have used abbreviation "end of last year", but you are right - mostly of them are from 16 Oct 2013.
3b) I TRIED to compare their date of released with drivers installed on my PC, but I have two basic problems:
3b.1) How to identify WHICH driver on my PC corresponds to drivers on Lenovo web site?
The names are NOT the same. For example: on Lenovo Web site is "Realtek Audio Driver V6695 for Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit) - Desktop", released 17 Nov 2013, version: 6.0.1.6695. Then I found on my Device manager "Realtek High Definition Audio". So my question already is: "Is it the corresponding driver or not?". But let us say: it is.
So, now we can continue with next information on my driver : date of release is 15 Nov 2013, version: 6.0.1.7093. So I am not sure if these two drivers (one on Lenovo Web site, second on my PC) are the correct PAIR. There is antagonism between date of release and the version number.
3b.2) How to update, when I already "decided", that my driver is not-to-updated and therefore I need it to update?
I launch my Device manager, then I choice some driver, then I click on "to update driver software" and there display two possibilities: find driver on computer, or find driver on Internet. So I click on "Find driver on Internet". Then I wait about 10 seconds and then I ALWAYS get the SAME information: "The driver of this device is up-to-date"
This "optimistic" message I received for about 30 of my drivers. So there are three possible explanations how to explain it:
1) LSC, Detective and Smart Driver Update lie to me, when they tell me "You have some not-to-update drivers", because in reality all of my drivers ARE up-to-date.
2) I really have some not-to-update driver but because I cannot address correct WHICH driver is not to-up-date, I try wrong driver to update. Wrong, because it IS up-to-date.
3) I identify the correct not up-to-date driver but the choise "find driver on Internet" open finding of this procedure in non-Lenovo Web sites.
And maybe you are right when you write: "Sometimes, on a new system, Lenovo installs drivers that are "newer" than the drivers listed on their site. Don't worry, keep the newer drivers."
I apologize very much,but I am not able directly to use the information from you.
I never updated drivers on my old PC (I had it 12 years!), so I have no experiences what happens when I replace my NEW (up-to-date) driver with some OLD driver installed from Lenovo Web site. I am affraid that my keyboard, mouse, screen etc will stop its function.
When I bought this Lenovo machine, I to myself have told that I will keep my drivers up-to-date, but I do not how.

Is acer going to update drivers for 481pt lap for windows 10?

Please let us know are you going to update acer aspire m5 481pt drivers for windows 10?

I have an Aspire M5-481PT and successfully updated to Windows 10. Prior to upgrading Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, I was running my 481PT as a dual boot with Windows 10 preview. The only device driver I had a problem with after upgrading was my touchpad/trackpad My touchpad did work after after upgrading, however, it was really slow and two finger scrolling didn't work. I found the following Acer computers on their Windows 10 list of upgradable computers that pretty much have the same hardware as the 481pt. Not sure why Acer doesn't show the 481pt as upgradeable, but hey it doesn't matter. I found the Elan driver to work best for my touchpad/trackpad. Acer Aspire E5-573T
Acer Aspire M5-583P Here is Acer's Windows 10 page in case you don't have it: http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/windows10-eligible-models#_ga=1.215109335.1749581080.1438121970 Good luck!!!!

After Win XP repair creative drivers for Audigy 2 not loading correctly

? ?I have read every FAQ I can find on this including http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=287. Which we have tried.
?It's my friends system...so some I am getting by phone...
Friend had something happen to his XP Pro...would not boot(just black screen with cursor and hourglass). He brought it home from repair shop and noticed he was missing his Creative volume control (Which he used to be able to right click and pick a bunch of utilities for calibrating 5. etc.)
We tried uninstalling Creative software and reinstalling...upon reboot, several error messages would pop up (CTRegsvr.reg error, Program could not load because Plxcore.plx cannot be found) would pop up 5 or six times.
The sound works and he appears to be getting 5. surround...he just cannot use any Creative tools or diagnostics.

Ok ill mention the version of the b... drivers as they are called in the download section[url="http://support.creative.com/downloads/welcome.aspx#"> [/url]
