Vista 64 unable to install xi fi extreme gamer correctly

I am running Vista 64 and no matter how many time I have tried, each time I install my xi fi using the most up to date drivers, also tried the beta drivers, the card will not work. The driver is listed as a conflict in device manager, and is not listed as a play back device in the sound control panel. My MB has onboard sound which I disabled in the bios, the only other sound device listed devices in my usb head phones which thankfully do work so I can atleast use those in the mean time. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times and in safe mode to no avail. Any help someone could give would be appreciated.
System specs
EVGA x58 motherboard
i7 920 cpu running at 3.6 ghz
6 gigs ddr3 corsair xms
300 gb velociraptor HD
EVGA 280 gtx vid card
and of course the Xi Fi extreme gamer...

I tired that, only 2 slots avail on my evga x58 board. I removed all drivers but uninstalling in programs, device manager and using driver sweeper. Updated all my motherboard drivers and bios. anything else I could think of or what was listed on creatives support page.
I finally got it working earlier today. I removed everything yet again, swapped PCI slots again. Installed drivers in safe mode and it recognized the card without conflicts. At that time it would only read digital outputs as a playback option for some reason. It wouldnt see my speakers. Tried everything over again to the same effect... finally just for lack of better options, I re installed the drivers again without uninstalling them and bam... it works... has been working since through games, restarts and OS updates. Thanks for the reply though.

i have the only account on my laptop so have checked and am the account administrator
i run windows 7 home premium
I have the same problem and
have followed the link uninstalling in the correct order,
then restarted as per instructions,
went to Apple to download itunes,
hit download now,
Visit the iTunes download page. Click Download Now to download the iTunes installer. When prompted, click Save (instead of Run).
did not get a save instead of run prompt
Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup (the installer you downloaded in step 3).
If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
i can only click run as administrator from right clicking the shortcut on my desktop screen
If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.
sick of doing this
at least 7 or 8 times i have re installed itunes to no avail
troubleshooting no better
please help. pulling my hair out at this stage
it was working fine until 2 days ago when i opened itunes it offered to update to 12.1

I am still unable to install itunes in Windows Vista

I have tried to run Fix it 4 times now after doing other things suggested in the Apple community and I am still unable to install itunes. Do you have any other ideas?
I've been uninstalling/reinstalling and using CCcleaner, sfcscannow and nothing seems to correct error msg 2- corrupt files found/unable to fix. Now what??????
I am using windows Vista. I NEED help!

nothing seems to correct error msg 2
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
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/download.htm
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 AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Unable to install JDK 6 on Windows Vista

Unable to install Vista OR XP (SP2)

Any help is appreciated here.
I've been running this Imac for months with dual boot via boot camp and have had no issues. Suddenly, last week, Vista will not boot. Missing file boot/bcd error
Due to my frustration, I figured I'd wipe Vista and reinstall (I use windows for gaming only).
I deleted that partition, created a new one and since have been unable to install Vista OR XP (which I tried as an alternative). I can create a 90 GB partition and Vista begins to install but it sees ONLY my Macintosh HD as a whole and can't see the partition. XP on the other hand can see the partition and installs but very slowly. The installed result is too slow for web browsing in fact.
This tells me that something is going on with the boot sector possibly in the files under bootcamp that allow you do choose the OS at startup.
So I then booted to my OSX install disk and did an install and archive thinking I would get a fresh copy of OSX and clean out any offending files. This proved to be the same result.
Does anyone have any ideas that may help? I would prefer not to wipe the HDD and begin from scratch as that means recreating profiles and importing photos, music and bookmarks for 4 users in the family on Leopard.
Thoughts?

I was able to recreate all the issues using both XP and Vista install discs this evening for tech support.
Next steps after several this evening will be the following:
1. Run the OSX Utilities from the OSX Install disc
2. reformat the entire hard drive (low level format)
3. Clean install of OSX
4. Run all updates
5. Install Vista with Boot camp
If that all works, I'll restore the MacHD from time machine.
If anyone has any other suggestions as well, I'd welcome them!

Unable to install CS3 Web Premium on Vista

I recently purchased CS3 Web Premium. When I try to install it, it fails. The message I get is - Error 1310.Error writing to file
C:\Config.Msi\43361.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory.
I am running on Vista Home Premium - Service Pack 1.
I turned off User Account Control and I have reset the ownership and permissions for the ProgramData folder as directed in the forum.
Still can't load the software. One thing I find strange about this message is that I don't have a Config.Msi folder. I even tried creating one but that didn't help either.
Please help!

I still have not been able to get this resolved completely. However, I have been able to get the error 1013 from popping up.
I had originally started off doing these steps from Adobe's site : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401528.html however I had no luck with any of the 3 solutions. I then found this link : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-compatibility-mode/ and this seemed to have taken the error 1013 from popping up.
However, now when I go to intall it...it will run through the whole installation process which takes 30 mins!!! To only tell me that all the programs were unable to install and to finish. I thought I was getting somewhere with this and then another road block. I can't believe I've now spent 2 days on this going on three.
I also had downloaded some scan program that states they can get Adobe Software installed and take away the errors by cleaning my system. Wait I'm confused here because my system is BRAND NEW. This program also cost like 40 bucks. I had contacted them wondering how on earth they can claim such a thing on a brand new computer...and that there "scan" had shown my brand new laptop with thousands of errors!!! ???? !!!! They only answered that I needed to buy their software to find out...obviously skipping that option.
So this is my last solution to try to fix the problem...I'm running it right now with like 12 games up and running so we'll see if Speed is the problem. here's the link on that topic. http://www.ask.com/bar?q=C%3A\Config.Msi&page=1&qsrc=2417&ab=2&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vistax64 .com%2Fvista-general%2F187289-c-config-msi-problem.html
Last resort will to call support but after reading all the forums I'm dreading the sound of it...someone had spent 6 hours on the phone with not results only to have NO working programs instead of the pre-version they had in working order. Also I'm not sure that I'll be getting any help...it sounds that you need the most recent version.
If this does not work...I'm seriously considering sending back my brand new laptop back in that it was the ONLY reason why I bought the thing was to be able to work while I was away from home. Apparently, I won't be able to do so...or buy a whole new program or license which to me sound rediculous in that I've spent just like everyone else on here the amount for the software and was told that I could have it installed on two computers as long as they were not being used at the same time. Understood but not seem to be working out that way.

Unable to Install Universal Wireless Keyboard with the CD that came with the Palm Tungsten E2 on my Windows Vista OS. Can some help? Would Appreciate it very much.

I recently bought a Palm Tungsten E2. I have been unable to install the Universal Wireless Keyboard software that came with the E2. Went online and downloaded the version 1.13 UWK and that would not install either. What did I do wrong?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

For Vista that version will not let you install programs. Good news though is we have a version you can. Go here, http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html and install this on top of the version you already have. There is going to be a few changes on the desktop, there is no quick install, but the install tool.
Once you have that done just double click on keyboard and it will ask you your hotsync name and sync and your done.
Oh as a side note the check if this is your solution is only if the answer solves your original question.
Message back if you have more question or need more help

Unable to connect to Airport Extreme since installing Mountain Lion

Unable to connect to Airport Extreme since installing Mountain Lion. If I go to Finder > Shared I can see it listed but then when I go to connect to it won't. I can see it in Airport Utility and connect to the internet but when I try and connect to the base station to use my hard drive / printer it won't connect?
Tech Support tried saying it could be the devices attached don't have an update for them yet but doesn't explain why I can't connect to the base station. In their defence I can see it in airport utility so the base station does work with the OS X
However I've just tried connecting by an ethernet cable and connects fine?

Ok .
Power down the base station (Mine is connected to a 4 way so i down powered base station, printer and hard drive) powered back up and now when I go to finder then look at the shared section I can view my files on the base station.
Hope this helps

Unable to install oracle 8 i on windows vista

Hi all,
I cannot installed my oracle 8i on my new laptop purchase with windows vista . I do everything but at last the programms are all download on my machine. Perhaps a problem of compatibility perhaps . I am in trouble . Because i need it to updates my datasbefore migrating in the server. What can i do to solve this problem of compatibility with installation. Please help me to fix this problem.
Thanks, Welcome, user575726

There is a specific version of Oracle 10g for Windows Vista. I even hear that Oracle 10g XE will work too; however, I have only tried oracle 10g for vista.
Both Oracle 8i and 9i are unsupported on vista.
Install Windows XP Pro on your laptop instead of Windows Vista.
Or, if you need to install 8i or 9i on Vista, may I suggest installing a virtual machine running Windows 2000 or Windows XP on top of Vista. Then in this vm, install Oracle 8i or 9i.
There is microsoft virtual pc 2007, vmware worktation 6.0, and parallels. I'm not sure if qemu or bochs will work. Note, you must have vista business premium or ultimate to be able to run a virtual machine in it according to the vista end user license.

Problem is SATA driver.
Plz Help me ...!
Response me

Hi
The Windows XP needs a SATA driver if you want to install it on the notebook with SATA HDD controller.
The SATA driver can be found in the Intel Storage Manager.
I would recommend using the nLite program to include a SATA driver into the new Windows XP CD and then to boot from the new created XP CD.
Here you will find all details regarding the nLite:

Regarding SQL server issue;
Maybe you will be able to install in on Windows XP. Possibly there is a compatibility issue between the Vista and the SQL server software
