Vista and older audio ca

I just installed Vista and it's running great except for no audio. My cards are several years old and I don't know much about them other than the model numbers (CT4760 & CT4860). I found the Creative's Vista driver/supported?list and it's not very descripti've. Am I out of luck with these older sound cards and should just go buy new cards, or can I expect to someday get drivers? Or, are the drivers there and I'm just not seeing them?Crabby

You might be wise to hold off on buying a card for Vista for a little bit and see what Creative is going to do. Another solution is use onboard sound for now if you have that option.

TS3591 iphone 5 and Windows Vista, and itunes audio synch issues

the new itunes is not synching my music to my iphone 5. I have windows Vista. Upon synching itunes crashes the phone and forces a restore. Any one else have this problem?

Same exact problem with my iPhone 4. I have reinstalled iTunes hoping it would do the trick and it didn't. :\

ITunes on Windows Vista and audio CDs

I just downloaded the new version of iTunes for Windows Vista. I actually tried this before the new version came out and my audio CDs wouldn't play correctly. I tried everything in the article "Audio does not play or plays incorrectly" and it didn't work. I thought it might be the system, so I waited until the new version came out. When it did, I downloaded it, but my CDs still don't play correctly. I tried everything in the article again and it still didn't work. Now I'm at a dead end. Help!

I have the exact same problem...!!! I posted a couple of weeks ago and still no help. Not only do I not get any audio from my CD's, I cannot RIP music from them either. All audio and drive functionality work with all other players. Drive diagnostics report no problems. I am seriously considering switching to another MP3 player. (All this after purchasing multiple IPOD's) I run Vista Home Premium on a new DELL. I have no other issues as of yet.

HT202213 I'm trying to set up "Home sharing" but i can not get into my old computer because of a virus. The old has Vista and an older version of iTunes. The new has Windows 7. Also this is my sons computer however I have made a new user account for me. H

I Have 2 issues;
1. I can't transfer my iTunes library from my old computer which I can't get into due to a virus. I'm trying to transfer my iTunes folder to my sons computer in which I now have a user account. Old is Vista and new is Windows 7. Therefore home sharing is impossible, right? Wrong?
2. I found my purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4S. I can't seem to download them. There is no button to tap "download". Also, I'm unable to sync to iTunes because my phones default is to sync to my old computer which will not open!

ThinkVantage Active Protection for Windows XP, Vista, and 7 missing from driver matrix

Recently, while checking the Software link: http://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/documents/ht037696
I noticed:
Active Protection System
Like an airbag's sensor, it can detect sudden changes in motion and temporarily stop the hard drive to help protect your valuable data from some crashes that could occur due to everyday notebook accidents.

09 Mar 2014
v1.79.0.3
If you try to follow the links to the ThinkVantage Active Protection System, you are presented with a document labeled: ThinkVantage Active Protection System for Windows 8 (32-bit) - Laptop or a document labeled: ThinkVantage Active Protection System for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) – Notebook
No reference to Windows XP, VISTA or Windows 7 in the current version of the documents, yet the text file pointed to by the download links states that this driver still supports all the older ThinkPads and is applicable to Windows 7 and VISTA. The text file does say that Windows XP support has been withdrawn with this release, and that XP users should use the previous version. It does not, however, provide a link to any document or mechanism where an XP user can obtain the previous driver.
So, is the document correct, or is the text file correct?
Where is the current driver for VISTA and Windows 7?
When I went to the support sites to see the supporting documents there, I discovered that the ThinkVantage Active Protection entries were gone from the R61, R500 and T500 driver matrices. The only reference I could find to the ThinkVantage Active Protection System was in the above mentioned SOFTWARE link.
ThinkPad R61 8932-CTO T8300 2.40 Ghz 3GB RAM Win XP
ThinkPad R500 2714-CTO P8600 2.40 Ghz 3GB RAM Win XP; Two ThinkPad R500's 2714-CTO T9600 2.80 Ghz 4GB RAM Win 7

ThinkCenter A63 5237-CTO 3GB Ram Win XP; A21m and a pair of 380XD's

Still no change to the driver matrices. ThinkVantage Active Protection is still missing. There has been a change in the web site, as follows:

So now there are numerous separate entries, but none of them claim to support any 'legacy' machines. Most of the above entries point to the same driver (at present). The puzzling aspect to all this is that if you read the text documents that accompany most of the above driver packages, you will note that the text document claims that the driver supports quite a number of legacy machines. That information just never made it to the web page.
So do I manually update a driver because the text document says it is applicable to my legacy R500, or 'believe' the web page which states that only some current models are supported, but not the R500, T500 or R61.
Very inconsistant and highly unprofessional.

My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
. Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
Note:
When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

A Troubleshooting Guide for Windows Vista and iTunes 8 - user supported

ITunes 8 and Windows Vista can be an explosive combination. Having helped to troubleshoot some problems for people, I decide to consolidate my information all down to one post. The information comes from various sources, and I will try to annotate where it came from. Please let’s keep this a solutions listing post. So people can come to it when they have a problem and easily find a solution.
*ITunes will not install:*
ITunes will sometimes not install or the installation will hang up under Vista. First I will give some generalized steps to take in order of priority, and then get into some specifics.
General
*1. Turn off your Anti-Virus Software.* Some A/V software will prevent the installer from accessing the Windows System Files causing the install to Bork.
*2. Uninstall third-party Audio-Video Codecs.* Installing iTunes also installs Quicktime which installs the necessary codecs to play its supported files. Some codec packs, such as DivX and XviD have the ability to read these files, and their method of decoding these files can cause conflicts with the Quicktime installation. Even third-party CD Burning (Roxio, Nero, and the like) software can cause this problem. Once iTunes is installed, you can reinstall these codecs without any ill effects.
*3. Disable Windows Defender.* Windows Defender is a resident A/V type program native to Windows Vista. It can also sometimes cause conflicts during installation. To disable it, go to the Windows Defender tab in your Control Panel, and chose disable in the dialogue box.
Specific
*1. When I install iTunes, the installation stops and I get error message 2738.* This error message means that the Visual Basic Script is not being installed properly or it could be disabled. To fix this we need to re-initialize the Visual Basic Script server. Do the following:
In the search panel of the start bar, type cmd.exe.
When the search results are listed, right click on cmd.exe and select run as administrator.
Type in the following at the command prompt: regsvr32 vbscript.dll and hit enter.
Run the iTunes install program again.
*2. ITunes installed properly, but now I am stuck in a reboot loop.*
This behaviour is a known problem to Apple and they are working on it. What is happening, when you run the program, it is involking a repair check of your installation. Beaconfield came up with a work around to use until Apple patches the software.
“Navigate to C:\Program Files\iTunes\ and right click on iTunes.exe then select Sent To > Desktop. This will create a new icon that should load iTunes just fine.”
I know there are more issues out there, but these seem to be the most common. If anyone has anymore solutions, please add them to this post. Like I said initially, I would like this post to be an easy reference for troubleshooting.
Thanks again,

Ok, so I saved my Windows Media Player playlist as M3U files and imported them into iTunes. Wow! What a complete mess that made of my library.
All songs that were on the playlists (hundreds of songs) were duplicated in my iTunes library. iTunes would show two entries for each song. When I right clicked and choose 'Show in Windows Explorer' both entries point to the same song, it just shows up twice in iTunes.
I cleared my iTunes library file and am starting over. I'm thinking about just going back to Windows Media Player. I've been listening to music off my Blackberry and it's really been fine. Just seemed a shame that my iPod was sitting in a drawer because of all the issues I'm having with iTunes and Vista.
The original problem I had months ago was that iTunes crashed on Vista and lost all my Playlists. I was so upset I put all my music on my SD card on my Blackberry, because Windows Media Player makes it so easy to back up your playlists. They are saved as files and can be included in any automatic backups (I have scheduled backups to another hard drive)
I thought with this new version of iTunes I could at least export the playlists to files so they can be backed up, I just don't know if I can face re-creating the playlists in iTunes.

Windows Vista and Itunes 7.1

so, 7.1 was supposed to be the cure all for the windows vista problem, well...i was using the earlier version w/the patch for vista and life was grand...i upgraded to 7.1 yesterday and now every time i launch itunes the program freezes and eventually locks up my whole computer and i have to restart my computer causing all sorts of havoc that is not needed. can i download the older version anywhere? does anyone have a solution to the problem? my ipod wont even open itunes when i plug it in now...i'm so frustrated and have no clue what to do. This whole mess is just driving me insane. Please someone help!!!!!!

Do you also have the patch for it? The only way version 6 works is with that patch they posted not long ago. I have MSN messenger, i am [email protected]
thanks!

Macbook Pro and ATI Graphics crashes in Windows Vista and 7

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone else had been having problems with Windows 7 and Vista having graphics driver crashes. I have been having this problem since the Boot Camp beta, and it has yet to be addressed as far as I can tell.
Basically the problem is that after a few minutes in either Vista or 7(after installing all the boot camp drivers from the Leopard or Snow Leopard disc) the screen graphics will start getting all corrupted. Eventually I will get a message in the taskbar telling me that the ATI driver has crashed and recovered from an error.
I have looked everywhere online I can think of for an answer, but have come up pretty empty thus far. The only thing I remember finding that was a possibility a long time ago was something to do with trying it with 1 stick of ram installed rather than 2, or that my ram could be problematic.
I tried running with just 1 stick, and that didn't help at all. I also tried each stick individually also with no change. I even went as far as running a diagnostic using some kind of memory testing software to see if the ram was bad, but it came back as good.
Also, I have run in XP without any issues whatsoever, so I am assuming it is something Vista and 7 specific. I was thinking it might have something to do with the Aero features as when I disable the ATI driver and run in Windows Basic without Aero enabled, I don't get the graphics glitches. Another clue might be that when the graphics glitch up, if I bring up the ctrlaltdel screen which gives you the option of Task Manager, Log Off, etc. the graphics are NOT glitched on that screen. As soon as you exit that screen however, the glitched screen is immediately back.
Bah, I am at pretty much the end of my sanity trying to figure this out, and was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem with the older MacBook Pro or is mine just inherently bad? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my system info just for extra help possibly?
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro1,2
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 2 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP12.0061.B03
SMC Version (system): 1.5f10
ATI Radeon X1600:
Chipset Model: ATY,RadeonX1600
Type: GPU
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x71c5
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-xxxxxx-086
EFI Driver Version: 01.00.086

Just an added update for anyone interested. I believe I have finally figured out what the issue is.
Apparently, at least on this model of MacBook, Apple has the ATI card underclocked to 310MHz / 278MHz (GPU and RAM respectively) when running normally. However, when running in Windows the ATI driver automatically uses the full clock speed of 470MHz / 470MHz (or something to that effect). The reason that it ends up getting artifacts and driver crashes is because of overheating. Apple has it underclocked because of the way heat is distributed in the system.
Anyway, I found a tool that KIND of works for fixing the issue I believe. It is called ATITool, and allows you to change the clock speed to the 310MHz / 278MHz that works so well in OS X.
It is located at: http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/
One thing though, the newest version 0.27 beta 3 (on mine at least) causes the backlight of the screen to go off when you load it in Windows. If you put the machine into hibernate, then bring it back up it will come back on... but that is annoying. I have found that the version 0.25 beta 13 doesn't have this issue. It is possible some of the other versions prior to 0.27 beta 3 also don't have this issue, but I haven't tested them yet. I will give some of them a try later.
The previous versions can be found here: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/Tweaking/ATITool/
Anyway, if anyone else has luck with other clock speeds or knows of any other solutions please let me know. This way works, but I would like to find a better solution if possible.

Installation failed with Windows Vista and JDK1.602

Hi All,

JSE8.1 (based on NetBeans 5.0) is not supported on Vista. You may want to consider using the latest NetBeans 5.5.1. (NetBeans is where all future development is planned for).
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5192837
From the release notes of NB551:
# Issue #85361: NetBeans 5.5 installer does not start on Windows Vista.
    Description: On systems running Windows Vista, the NetBeans 5.5 installer fails to start
and a message suggesting running with the "silent" or "console" flag appears.
    Workaround: To correct this, run the installer on JDK 6.0 build 96 or newer.
    If you encounter further difficulties, disable Compatibility Mode manually. You can do
this by right-clicking the .exe installer file and choosing Properties from the pop-up menu,
then deselecting Compatibility Mode in the Compatibility tab of the File Properties dialog.
Note that if Compatibility Mode was turned on automatically, it is necessary to disable it
for both the current user AND all users. To do so, click the "Show Settings for All Users"
button, then deselect the Compatibility Mode checkbox in the "Compatibility for All Users"
dialog.You can try the same workaround for installing jse8.1, to see if that works. But, it is an older version that is not supported on vista and hence my suggestion to consider a later version of NB.

Vista and BEFW11S4 issues

Hi Everyone. I have a Wireless B Router model BEFW11S4 v 4.0. We recently bought a new computer that has Windows Vista. Recently we started having some problems with the internet. Our Windows Firewall is OFF as we have Norton 360 v 2.0. Our problem is that certain websites will not load. It appears that there is a timeout issue. One is www.comics.com. We have not had a problem with this site in the past, even on this computer with this setup. We have not installed or uninstalled any softwares or hadware and have made no changes whatsoever. About a week ago the site was accessing just fine. The error we get when attempting to view certian sites is:
Address Not Found
can't find the server
The browser could not find the host server for the provided address.
    * Did you make a mistake when typing the domain?
    * Are you certain this domain address exists? Its registration may have expired.
    * Are you unable to browse other sites? Check your network connection and DNS server settings.
    * Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
When using Vista's help section we learned that some older routers are "not fully compatible" with Vista and we're trying to determine if this is the case with ours. We found a firmware download from Linksys that was v 1.52.02. It is a bin file but did not indicate where to save the file to. Is this the "fix" to the Vista compatibility issue? Where do we save this file then? We did perform the Vista Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool and the test results indicate that the following were not supported: TCP High Performance Tool and UPnP Support Test.
When following the insturctions from Linksys to ping linksys.com all requests timed out. I did perform the ipconfig/all command but don't know if those results are necessary to show here. I don't want to overload on TMI (too much information). Can someone please help us? This "limited" internet ability is really become troublesome and we just want to make sure we can resolve this issue. Any help is appreciated. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

To make matters worse I just spent an hour in a live chat with someone who gave me misinformation! This person told me to reset the router by pressing and holding the reset button for 30 seconds and that this would reset the password back to "admin" and allow me to make these changes. He also said that I needed to completely shut down and unplug everything from the back of the router, with the exception of the power cord, and perform the reset, then plug everything but the cable modem back in, boot the computer and then go to the setup page and go through the entire process of configuring the router, setting up the network and then going through the power cycle. Well, this would be a great option if resetting the router actually reset my password, it didn't so I couldn't get in to perform the rest of the instructions. He told me that if I ran into problems I should call 1-800-326-7114 for immediate free assistance by another technician who could walk me through everything. Upon calling that number I'm told that because my router isn't covered any longer by warranty that I'd have to pay $29.99 just for the one technical call to answer my question as to how to reset the password. This is absurd! My router is working fine now since I got the updated firmware. I don't need any setup support or troubleshooting. I just need to reset my password for the setup page so that I can make some changes and have access to this in the future. I'm not going to pay $30 for something that isn't related to a repair issue! I can't believe I spent all this time dealing with a live chat person who kept giving me misinformation repeatedly (he gave me the wrong steps for procedures repeatedly) and was then directed to free tech support by phone and suddenly expected to pay $30 just for a generic question. Is this really the typical type of "service" to expect from Linksys? Can't anyone give me the proper answer to reset my password or an alternate method if resetting the router didn't work? I've reset the router about 5 times now and it's not resetting the password. I can log in only using Firefox (not IE) but then I can't make any changes. If being misinformed and lied to is really how Linksys treats their customers I think I'll go elsewhere for an upgrade. Is this really how I should expect to be treated?

Unreliable wireless communication between laptop (Vista) and Time Capsule

I am using a Time capsule for my wire less router at home. I have a new laptop running vista and the connection fails frequently. It is restored using repair. This does not happen with this laptop in other wireless locations. I also do not have this problem with my older laptop running xp (at least not as often). Any suggestions?
I am thinking of buying a 802.11n card for the laptop. any chances this will help?

Please open AirPort Utility, select the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab just under the row of icons
What is the setting that you have for "Wireless Mode" on this device?
It should be "Extend a wireless network" and the other settings should match those on the AirPort Extreme.
Open AirPort Utility, select the AirPort Extreme, and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Make sure that you have a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"

So when can we expect official X-Fi CMSS and DVD audio drive

After this whole bad PR fiasco over modding drivers. When can we expect OFFICAL drivers from creative that support CMSS stereo surround effects and DVD audio in Vista?
Gi've me a timeframe because I feel like breaking my X-FI card into little pieces, digging it, and youtubing it. Or?I could just return it and get my money back. Haha.

Presumably the X-Fi 2 will bring it's own innovations.
EAX6 and higher quality parts for higher SNR responses, and Vista drivers.
We only have the MS certification that proves it, no tech specs of announcements of any kind yet.
If it really does bring something amazing then fine, but I can't see myself jumping for it. My Audigy has served me well and with Daniel_K drivers I've got as good as I'm going to get.
Onboard sound has come on leaps and bounds so after this card, I doubt I'll get another.
If the X-Fi 2 is based on the X-Fi I wonder how long it'll take for someone to edit them and use them with an X-Fi.
Meanwhile, us Audigians are still left out in the cold.
