Vista Drivers - Please read here first before making a new post

We all want drivers for Vista as soon as possible. However no one here can predict when a driver for a given product will be released. This is a User to User forum so there is no one here from MSI to ask about when or if a driver will come out. We all want the same thing but please be patient as it may take some time for MSI like any gear maker to complete and test any new driver. Watch the MSI product page for your gear to see when the driver is uploaded. Vista has a lot of built in drivers but we realise that this may not cover some of your gear. We do understand your frustration at having to wait on certain drivers but no one here has any part in how fast they will be completed or tested.
We ask that you refrain from posting a bunch of topics about Vista Drivers that are not out as there is little we can do here to find any answers for you. We are only users like you who are also waiting like you are now.

if you really cannot wait, the first place to look for Vista drivers is the chipset manufacturer themselves (for peripherals, look on the device manufacturers' website). look through their download sections and you may find Beta (use at own risk) or even final release versions
many hardware manufacturers are slow at releasing new drivers, it took several years for some hardware to eventually get stable Windows XP drivers (my Mustek scanner is running with hacked Windows 2000 drivers because there were never any official XP drivers released), and for some older hardware you may never even see new drivers

What a horrible thing to say. Just because you are inconvenienced, people shouldn't ask questions? What if they can't get it to display on a tv? What if they aren't sure if their PC is 1.1 or 2.0 USB? What would they benefit by using the 5R's? A lot of people are getting ipods and a lot of people need help. Telling them to reset it as a blanket statement is, quite frankly, one of the single most irresponsible pieces of advice I have heard yet. Just because you have read it 87 times doesn't mean that person has. How about teaching them how to use the search function? Hopefully, you'll take the time to learn that not everyone is as blessed as you in the ipod knowledge department. If it is bothering you so much that you are seeing the same posts over and over again, here's a suggestion- quit reading the forums for a few days. Better yet- use the 5R's. That might help with the problem you are having.

. How to Contact Support
Please note this is a peer forum and Creative's Support staff do not guarantee a reply here. If your issue is urgent, you are within your warranty period and/or you do not get a fast reply here you should contact Creative Labs Technical Support.
To contact support click the Support > Contact Customer Support link on this page.
When contacting Creative Support by email it's important to note that you must reply to the autoresponse email you first receive, as detailed in the email itself. Also make sure to check any spam trap you have on your email system if you have not received a reply.
It's also important if you feel that you have a bug or defect with your product to register that issue directly with support. Don't rely on the forum to raise awareness of an issue.
2. Hot Topics
This is dividied into 3 sections: General, Tag based players & USB mass storage players.
Make sure to also look at Section 3, which covers some of the other General Issues.
General
Where do I get the latest software, drivers and firmware?
Click the link Support > Downloads on this page.
In general, when installing on a new PC you need to download the driver, and some software to communicate with the player e.g. MediaSource, Media Explorer. For players using the v2.xx MTP/PlayForsure firmware drivers are not necessary, but you must have Windows XP and Windows Media Player 0 (this provides the MTP driver).
Important: Even though files are described as updates, none of the software requires a previous version to install. At worst they will prompt you to connect your player to verify you own a Creative product.
Note if you are downloading MediaSource make sure to download and install the relevant MediaSource plugin for your player. If MediaSource can't detect your player this is the first thing to check. For the v.xx PDE firmware the plugin is called the Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin for Creative MediaSource , and for the v2 MTP/PlayForSure firmware it's called Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices .
I am completely new to MP3 players, where should I start?
Have a read of my Nomad Primer, so called as Creative's MP3 player range tend to be prefixed with the word Nomad.
I think I have a bug, how can I check?
There's a known bug list hosted at my site here. If you want to add a bug then please
I have a wish request for the player, what can I do?
You can post it here (see the petitions listed in Section of this FAQ), email it to support, and/or add it to the public wishlist I host here by
I'm having connection problems with my player
If you can, the best test is to try your player with another PC, to see if you still have the problem. This localises whether the problem is with the PC (most likely the USB) or the player. See the link below (search on "connection problems") for a lot more troubleshooting on this.
What bit-rate should I encode my music at?
Ultimately it's down to your ears what bit-rate you prefer, and you should listen for yourself to determine it. If you ask on the forum you'll get many different opinions.
Make sure to look at the "MP3 vs. WMA" link below also.
How long should my battery last?
For the Zen and Nomad Jukebox players, to get some idea of how long your battery will last for a given bit-rate look at the battery curves thread. Ultimately battery life is dependent on how you use the player, make sure to follow the "why doesn't my battery last as long as expected?" link below.
How long does an RMA take?
Typically 2 weeks. But it might take a little longer, so don't start posting if it's 5 days.
I want to know how people feel about their Zen Micro/Touch/MuVo etc.
There's a long post titled Experience with your Creative player that has many posts from users about their players. Please search back for threads about specific players before starting a new thread.
Where can I buy online music or get legal downloads for my player?
See this thread.
My tracks don't play at the correct speed e.g. they play too slowly, why?
Chances are they are encoded in an unsupported sampling frequency. The tracks will need to be re-encoded at a supported bit-rate and/or frequency with something like Creative's MediaSource Audio Converter or dbPowerAmp.
Can a Creative player work on an Apple Mac?
It isn't officially supported, but some kind folks out there have written freeware applications to get your Creative player working with Macs. XNJB provides support for the Zen players, and requires OS X 0.3 or 0.4 (check the site for full details). MuVoHelper solves some problems with getting the MuVo to work optimally. The iTunes Zen plugin should support all Zen players. Note if the link to the plugin is broken just Google "iTunes Zen plugin" to find other sources. Also note there's no guarantee that these programs will work with the Mac, so if you have issues you should address your problems to the developer(s) of the relevant program.
Can a Creative player work on Linux?
Again it isn't officially supported, but again some kinds folks out there have written freeware applications to get your Creative player working. There's the Gnomad2 project. And don't forget the Linux forum at Nomadness.net if you are still having problems.
Tag Based Players
This section covers the players that use a hard disk and work using tags e.g. Zen Xtra, Touch, Micro, Sleek.
My Zen is not behaving properly, won't startup, or goes into rescue mode. What should I do?
If the Zen is not starting properly or not behaving correctly, first try to reset it. To reset all players except for the Zen Micro there is a small switch on the side of the player typically, that you should press using something like a bent paper clip. Don't use anything sharp. To reset the Zen Micro simply remove the battery and replace it.
If this doesn't work then access rescue mode, and try running a disk cleanup.
Next you should try reloading the firmware/OS, but beware if you are having connection problems also with your PC you may end up with a player that has no firmware and cannot be reloaded.
The last resort is to format the player. This will erase the contents from the player, including the content that ships with the player.
If none of these resolve the problem and you are under warranty you should get in contact with support to arrange replacement of the player.
If you aren't under warranty Creative will still repair the player, which you can arrange by contacting support.
How do I do a Disk Cleanup and/or access Rescue/Recovery Mode?
Refer to the sticky Rescue Mode thread. Disk Cleanup is accessed from this. Note that the MuVo players (with the exclusion of the MuVo? players) do not have Rescue Mode.
How long should a Disk Cleanup take?
It should only take a few minutes, and no longer than 30 minutes. Anything longer than this and there is a problem with the player and you need to contact Creative Support.
How long should a format take?
Only a few seconds. Anything more than a minute and there is a problem with the player and you need to contact Creative Support.
Although I can get into Rescue Mode, I can't select any option, or the options don't work?
If Rescue Mode is not working properly or commands can't be chosen the player is faulty. You need to contact Creative Support.
When are the Zen 20Gb/Neeon going to be released outside of the Asia Pacific region?
Due to popular request the Neeon is launched in the USA, but nowhere else for now. If you want the Neeon then contact your regions Customer Services to request it.
The Zen 20Gb is available from some shops in the USA and Europe e.g. Cambridge Soundworks, and Amazon.co.uk.
Is there a known issue with the Zen Micro headphone socket?
Creative Support have neither confirmed nor denied it officially. Some users have posted purported emails from Creative on the forum saying that the socket has been reinforced, but these have not been confirmed by Creative Support either. The exact incidence of the problem is unknown, but newer players seem to suffer less from it.
Should I buy the Zen Micro or Touch etc. and what colour should it be?
We can't tell you what player to get, or what colour it should be. Look at your collection size and the features of the player (see Nomadworld.com for the product pages) and decide yourself based on this.
Why does my Zen Micro battery drain so quickly?
The standby time (24 hours from turn-off) for the Zen Micro seems to use a lot more power than previous Zens. Creative have released both v (..0+) and v2 (2.20.05+) firmware that reduces the standby time to 4 hours. Make sure to update to one of these if you have a draining problem.
Also see JazzMC's detailed page on this problem.
Why is my Zen Micro/Touch Touchpad so sensiti've and/or difficult to use?
The Touchpads take some time to get used to.

Figured I'd post on here first before I freak out completely.

I decided that I was going to back up my Phone, but first I thought I would go ahead and import all of my recent photos to Iphoto. So I Clicked on the app, waited for it to open, and it opens with an Error: "your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"
So I did a quick google search on how to resolve this problem, and figured that I could press and hold Option and Command while opening Iphotos to attempt to repair or rebuild the database, So I did just that, but of course it didn't work. I then searched on google again and found out about the library fixer thing, the library manager or whatever. So I downloaded that, and I was happy to find nearly all of my photos on there, but, some of them had a triangle on the thumbnail and the photo would not be displayed, I find this extremely UNACCEPTABLE!
Is there an easy fix for this?! I mean, I really don't want to start freaking out over this, I have so many photos I really can't afford to lose, and if I lose these photos I will be greatly devastated and ****** off at apple for this ****** thing that's happening to me right now.
Someone please help!

When you rebuild your iPhoto Library with iPhoto Library Manager, did you enable the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos"? If not, try again with this checkbox enabled. This will collect orphaned photos in a separate event.
some of them had a triangle on the thumbnail and the photo would not be displayed,
That shows, that the connection between some your original photos and the thumbnails has been lost and iPhoto cannot access the original image files. Either the originals are missing completely or have been moved or modified, or a permissions problem is preventing the access.
This can happen, for example, when you access the iPhoto Library by other application, move the iPhoto library to an unsupported drive (a network volume or wrong filesystem), use cleaning applications to remove duplicate photos, access the iPhoto library from a different user account, when iPhoto is crashing. After you have recovered your iPhoto Library, try to find out, what could have caused this corruption, to prevent it from happening again.

Moved files to external HD without reading here first!

I moved my files before I read this and losts my playlists and play counts. Is there anyway I can fix this?
If I hook my ipod up to my computer will it get my playlists and play counts?
Thanks!

In answer to your question about getting playlists off the iPod, NO! There are 2 files, the .xml & .itl files, that are the metadata files for iTunes. These files are where all of your playlist information, etc. is stored. When you moved to the EHD, did you move these 2 files,also? If so, that is the problem. These files need to stay in your iTunes folder on the main drive as that is their home. Moving them back to the original location will probably resolve the problem.

21.5 inch iMac yellow screen issue - please read the question before answering

I have a late 2012 iMac (21.5inch). I thought 21.5 models were immune to this issue, but I noticed bottom half of the screen is showing some yellow tint compared to upper half. I thought it was due to the angle of the screen and lighting in my room but that changed when I put my MacBook pro right next to my iMac. Compared to my mid 2009 MacBook Pro, the iMac's screen has a definite yellower time to it..
How much will it cost to replace the screen to eliminate the yellow tint? Please, no replies about taking my iMac to Apple store or calling them. I've already called several different Apple stores, and they have no idea. And please, no Applecare answers or "expensive" answers. I already have Applecare. Yes, I know it's free if I have Applecare. I just want to know how much Apple will charge if I don't have Applecare.

If you don't have AppleCare, it will be probably pretty pricey (just to get them to open it up!).
If any past experience with iMacs doing similar things, it is probably one of the backlights they use for the screen.
That AppleCare does pay for itself when things like this happen.
Except for RAM, there are no user-serviceable parts in iMacs.

(1) Read through your monitor Manual
(2) Restore the monitor to Factory Defaults using the monitor OSD (On Screen Display)
* While the monitor is connected to the computer video out, press the monitor Menu button to open the monitor OSD
* Go to Other Settings- Factory Reset and Reset All Settings
(3) Run the monitor Self-Test and BID (Built-in Diagnostic)
(4) Post your issue and all of the following data
Reason line = Monitor model, short issue description

* What cable are you using to attach the video card to the monitor?
* Press the monitor Menu button to open the monitor OSD (On Screen Display). The bottom of that screen should show a resolution. What is listed?
* Was the monitor purchased from Dell or some reseller?

1. From previous posts, I believe that they plan to add this functionality. I agree that it would be very helpful.
2. In terms of column widths, it should be storing your column widths (on tables at least) so that the next time you open that table the widths are perserved. Is it loosing yours?
Eric

Cracked my screen, should i call apple first before getting a new one?

any help would be appreciated, thanks.

As long as you understand that Apple can rightfully refuse to replace or fix the screen since it is not a covered issue. If you are near an Apple store you might try going in and talking to them. Some people have claimed that Apple store reps replaced their iPhone on the spot when they presented it to them with a broken screen. At the end of the day, the worse answer you will get from calling or going in is that the phone isn't covered and you have to buy a new one or pay for the repair yourself.

New board for Software Updates - read this first!

Dear Nokia Support Discussions members,
we are happy to introduce this new section for discussing Nokia phone software updates with your PC or over-the-air.
Please use this board to discuss
- Nokia Software Updater PC application or over-the-air updates
- latest software versions for each product
- any changes you notice over previous software versions
- making a back-up of your phone data
- problems you may encounter with the update
etc.
First and foremost, Nokia Support Discussions is a meeting place for Nokia product owners. Here you can discuss Nokia products, ask for assistance and help other people by providing solutions. Nokia Moderators are here mainly to give assistance in using the boards and to keep the discussions on track.
However, these boards are also a feedback channel to Nokia and people from many different Nokia departments actively follow these discussions. Constructive feedback and criticism is valued and always welcome.
We at Nokia Support Discussions do not have any information about when new products are added to the update service - nor do Nokia contact centers. So you just need to keep checking the service webpage or the boards here. I am sure new products are announced here by our alert members within minutes after they have been added.
I wish to remind the community that posting any confidential information about Nokia product software versions will be deleted and may result in a permanent ban without warning.
Below is the introductory letter that we received from the Nokia Software Update Team - please read it for important information about new products and their schedule.
See you on the boards,
vandelay & Nokia Support Discussions Team
The Nokia Software Updater is a Windows application that enables you to update Nokia mobile device software (firmware) over the Internet using your PC. The application can be downloaded from the Nokia UK Product Support Internet pages at
www.nokia.co.uk/softwareupdate
The Nokia Software Updater offers the same updates you would receive at a Nokia Service Centre. The added advantage is the convenience, as you can now easily perform the update yourself from any location with an Internet connection, at a time suitable for you. Keep your phone software up-to-date, or fix a potential operation problem you may have by regularly updating your phone firmware.
In the future, every new S60 product will be compatible with the Nokia Software Updater, but at the moment the application is only available for selected Nokia devices including Nokia 6630, Nokia 6680, Nokia 6681, Nokia 6682, Nokia N70 and Nokia N72. During the autumn, the application will be available in different languages on different web pages and many other products will also be available for software updates.
The Nokia Software Updater has been made to be as customer-friendly as possible. All you need is a PC and the standard sales-pack data cable - no dongles, no adaptors, no fuss. A typical update takes around 30 minutes. Plus, you don’t need to wait for your device to be returned from Nokia Service Centre.
Regards,
Nokia Software Update Team

Lost Vista drivers for Satellite L300D

I have a Satellite L300D model PSLC0E and just cleaned installed with Win 7 from vista, all ok so far but lost all my drivers from Vista and not sure what drivers I need for win 7.
I've had a look for the driver downloads, but not sure what to download and whats more important.

If you have done Win7 upgrade you don't need additional drivers.
Just if you want to make clean Win7 installation then you need all necessary drivers.
If you don't have problems with Win7 why you think you need Vista drivers?

"Speed bump" problem: when previewing on the iPad, the first page of each new chapter or section sticks and loads slowly. How can I fix it?

I am building a book with text and photographs in iBooks Author, basing the design on my publisher's layout for the hard copy version. Whenever I introduce a new section or chapter, I hit a "speed bump" when previewing on the iPad. As you read, the first page of the new chapter or section is very hard to turn and sticks as it loads. Within each section the pages flow very easily, but when you reach the next section you hit another speed bump. I have experimented with many possible solutions to no avail. It does not seem to matter whether the new section has images or just text; the speed bump occurs regardless.

However, I am finding that using fewer sections with more content in them minimizes the problem (i.e. fewer section-transions means fewer speed bumps). This is contarary to the support page's suggestion of keeping chapters and sections smaller. I am not having any problem within each section, even with lots of full page photos.
That recommendation was made, presumably, to reduce the length of the delay for each chapter. More content in the chapter means more delay when changing chapters. Of course, if you have lots of little chapters, the delay can still be annoying because, even if only four or five pages in a chapter, the delay is still noticable. Just pick something that works for your book and don't worry too much about the delay. Your readers will be familiar with it if they've seen more than one IBA book.
Will the choice of color space, s-rgb or Adobe rgb 1998, affect file size?
Should I try to compress them more- say, level 5 or level 4 in Save For Web?
Should I size the images for the iPad 2 instead of the iPad 3 retina display, since there are more 2s out there?
Which color space you use does not affect file size. Apple recommend to use sRGB, so I would stick with that. As to compression and sizing, only you can decide. Try and borrow an iPad 2 to make a judgement at what level of compression and resolution you think the images start too look bad. Your high-rez images for the new iPad will be down-sampled for display on the older models, which will introduce additional artifacts.
For my book, I simply used images at 1024 x 768 resolution. When viewed on a new iPad, they look just fine. The lower resolution is basically unnoticeable (at least for my purposes). You can view a sample of my book here: "Djembe Construction: A Comprehensive Guide". If you think the images there are good enough for your purposes, you could down-size your images to half their resolution, which will reduce file size about around a factor of three.

BEFORE posting, please read this!!

Before posting in this forum, I urge you to read though GlennVidia's sticky post Suggestions on posting and getting better answers and also hpkuo's A collection of tips and tricks
also to new users, please create a signature in the User Control Panel listing your system specifications.
too many people are posting questions like "MSIPVS don't work, please help" but if you don't tell us what your system is, its like asking your GP to diagnose medical problems over the phone - ie, guesswork!! also it helps if you give us your location, ie Seattle, USA; Norwich, UK; Kabul, Afghanistan; for local TV issues.
any users with the MS8606 TV@nywhere Master should first try the Unofficial BETA drivers for this product listed in my sticky at the top of this forum, looking through the release notes for this, it fixes many problems that users have posted about.
plus make sure all your system and vga drivers are up-to-date, here are some links:
For Nvidia Nforce chipset and display drivers:

For ATI chipset and display drivers:

For Via chipset and display drivers:

For SiS chipset and display drivers:

For Intel chipset and display drivers:

Installation of MSIPVS:
Download and install the latest drivers for your MSI TV Tuner (either from MSI or the BETA drivers if you are using TV@nywhere Master). After installing the drivers, please RESTART your PC (the installer won't prompt you to do this) BEFORE you install the MSIPVS or MediaCentre III software.
MSIPVS (or other InterVideo software) won't work if Windows has been installed to a partition other than C:, Mega PC users should disable the card reader by either unplugging it from the motherboard, or temporarily disabling the USB controller in BIOS before installing Windows to ensure it sees drive C: as default installation drive.
This should avoid any "antenna & afghanistan" default configurations in MSIPVS, but please ensure your correct region and TV standard settings are selected, and the correct cable / antenna connection is selected.
Mega PC series
Users using a Mega series barebone PC with MediaCentre III (ugh) should also search through the Mega PC series forum for further assistance there.
Hope this helps

sorry, think i must have slipped on something
