Vista SP2 x64 completely breaks DTS/DDL decoder

My X-Fi Elite Pro was running the DDL/DTS pack that I purchased just wonderfully until I updated Vista to SP2 x64. After the update, the encoder dissappeared completely from the console launcher. An attempt to re-install the pack throws a coded error message.
$6 license only bought me 3 months of use....money down the drain?
Are we going to get a fix for this soon or have to wait a good long while again for DTS/DDL support?
This does nothing but make me nauseous. Looks like a trip back to the future of SP................................................ ..............................................

After installing Vista sp2, on a system already running sp Vista64, I had to reinstall the Daniel K. driver pack. This fixed me up just fine. I believe the sp2 update may disturb the sound stack in Vista. A removal and reinstall of Dan K.'s Driver pack should fix the issue. I am running this:

Vista ultimate x64 any chance to get decoding of dts and dolby digital for audigy 2 zs platinum

hello,
i need the support of deconding dts or dolby digital for my audigy 2 zs platinum pro.
is there any chance to get this feature back in vista ultimate x64?
i hope anybody can help me.
thanks for all

According to Creative, Vista no longer supports the decoding of Dolby and DTS at the driver level, so no, that feature proabably won't added back in the future. It is gone for all the Creative cards.

Problems mounting ISOs on Windows Vista SP2

I've been trying for the last few days to try to mount and ISO through Daemon Tools and Magic Disc to try to run a setup of a game. However, whenever I get into the autorun of the disc and click the setup button, all I get is a command prompt line for a split second and then nothing. I've tried mounting this disc on my PC running Windows Vista and it installed perfectly, no trouble at all. It also seems like Daemon Tools on my Mac is breaking some of the files, because on my MBP I noticed that some of the pictures are corrupt, but when I run it on my PC those pictures are fine and it's the same ISO file!
Does anyone know a remedy for this? I'm running Windows Vista SP2 on a 17" MBP Unibody 2.8GHz. Thank you!

If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP

Achieve full Vista Dolby, S/PDIF-In & DTS for X-Fi or Audig

I placed a post on 9/2/07:? [url="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=Vista&message.id=2398#M2398">Re: AC3 decoding with X-Fi or with Audigy - possible or not?[/url]? I had to reuse the 2 downloaded?files after Vista's recent Service Pack. My X-Fi Elite is still fully functional in Vista Ultimate with the S/PDIF-In.
I found the link last summer:? [url="http://nomoregoatsoup.wordpress.com/2007/08/08/getting-dolby-and-dts-to-work-in-windows-vista-spdif-in-working-too/">Getting Your X-Fi or Audigy?s Dolby and DTS To Work In Windows Vista (SPDIF IN Working Too)[/url]?
Still there it explains:
"... Creative Labs removed Dolby decoding on their mainstream drivers, yet saw fit to leave the feature in Dell drivers!
... Firstly we need to download the Vista x86 X-Fi driver from Dell. Just go on the Dell site and get these?[url="http://ftp.us.dell.com/audio/R44728.EXE">Dell Drivers[/url]. Now extract the R44728.EXE file (again using WinRAR) to a folder but don't install it just cancel after extracting.
All you really want are two files that you can find located in your newly extracted folder: R44728\Drivers\wdm\win2k_xp\i386\
These files are ctac32k.sys and ctdvda2k.sys.? Copy them and place them into your c:\windows\system32\drivers folder, replacing existing versions.
Now reboot and afterwards you?ll have a brand new tab in the Creative Audio Console (CAC -lol) labelled ?Decoder?.
Now you can enable the internal decoder and your SPDIF?IN can now decode DTS. Now you can use more than 2 speakers in Windows Media Player when playing .avi or .mp3 with multichannel soundtracks.
I hope this fix helps somebody as much as it helped me."

Thanks for the suggestions Larry, sadly I cannot get this to work for me
I have two Fatalty cards, one was purchased not that long after the release of the X-Fi (it has a remote and a front box), now DTS and Dolby work fine on this card under Windows XP.
My new system has a newer Fatalty Professional series card....for some unknown reason the DTS and Dolby is locked under XP, I had to use a hack from a Russian site to unlock the Dolby and DTS decoder under Windows XP, yet sadly nothing seems to unlock them on Vista x64 with SP.
Thanks for the guide, perhaps it is Vista 32Bit's or older style X-Fi's only?

Boot Camp, Vista Ultimate x64 SP1, 2009 Mac Pro Quad 2.93, ATI 4870 HD

Hello All,
I’ve run into a problem installing Boot Camp with Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 on my early 2009 Mac Pro Quad 2.93 with Apple’s ATI Radeon 4870 HD (the one with one DVI and one mini-display). I followed the instructions from the Boot Camp Installation and Setup Guide, and everything was going great until I hit page 12 of the Guide (Step 3). The Boot Camp drivers installed without error, and prompted me to reboot. Upon rebooting onto the newly installed Vista x64 partition, the screen went black after the chkdsk screen appeared. I can boot into Vista safe mode, but booting into Vista normally results in the black screen. On a hunch, while in safe mode, I uninstalled the ATI video drivers installed by Boot Camp. I was then able to boot Vista normally, but only with the standard VGA adapter. Then I tried installing the latest 9.4 ATI drivers from the chipset vendor, AMD, http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx. Booting normally after the ATI chipset drivers were installed left me with a mostly black screen, and a few swizzles of horizontal color, but not enough to make out any sort of image. Once again, I was able to boot normally by first booting into safe mode and then uninstalling the ATI driver, leaving me with the standard VGA driver.
The displays I have tried so far are 1) Apple Cinema HD 23”, and 2) Apple Cinema 20”. Also, I have tried all 6 permutations with the ports on the Apple version of the ATI Radeon 4870 HD with both displays (using the mini-display to DVI adapter), 2 permutations with both displays, and 4 permutations with single displays. All permutations result in the same black screen after installing Boot Camp drivers.
Am I missing something? It seems to me that there is a display driver that needs to come from Apple that will work with the Apple version of the ATI Radeon 4870 HD in Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 attached to an Apple display. I’ve installed Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 and many other operating systems in the past 27 years of working with computers, and typically with video cards I’ve had to get the drivers from the vendor that shipped the card, not the chipset vendor. Sure, occasionally the opposite is true, and I don’t mind spending a few days to figure out what works best for me as long as I believe I am making progress.
Has anyone else run into this problem with his or her early 2009 Mac Pro Quad 2.93 with Apple’s ATI Radeon 4870 HD? I’m posting this in the Boot Camp forum as I think this problem is rooted in the Boot Camp drivers, specifically for the Apple ATI Radeon 4870 HD. Please let me know if I should post elsewhere.

You are the second person I think I've seen with trouble using Mac Pro and ATI drivers (other was on Mac Pro forum).
When updating graphics, there are extra steps that insure you get the best working drivers.
I've always found Apple to be behind the curve on Windows support. Drivers that come with a card from the vendor ususally means ATI or Nvidia, and even then, you go to the web and download and install the latest tested / beta / qualified drivers. Some people try a variety of driver versions to find the one that works best.
Apple has not been updating Boot Camp drivers for Late 2008 and on Macs. Boot Camp 2.1 is now over a year old. What is on your OEM Leopard DVD is the only drivers I would use - if at all! try without is what some do, and then see if you can selectively install. Under Windows 7, I don't need or install, and now with the RC/7077 version of 7, Microsoft 'blocks' installing Apple Boot Camp drivers as known to cause problems.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Unistall the various Apple services, drivers, startup items that you can live without or until you narrow it down. iTunes 8.1+ in Windows can break and prevent ability to even use optical drives and devices for instance.
Some tips for upgrading drivers, one from eVGA forum but should translate.

Actaully im very new at Oracle 10g xe and VB2010 but i got a project is going to build up system database and i figure out Oracle 10g xe and VB2010 can use free so i just chows these appication to be my project. I been search around internet and there is several things i was found about the connection but i has try and tried still it wont work out.
Things i found and learned
Oracle
1. I have download Oracle 10g XE and installed in my windows vista sp2.
2. I notice the Oracle Developer Tools is needed for VB2010 (To add reference 'Oracle.DataAccess'). So i was downloaded ODT11beta and installed
3. I also edit TNSNAMES to following below:
OraDb =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = shin-PC)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
4. My sqlnet like following below:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
5.I have try tnsping OraDB and its works.
6. I monitoring task manager and OracleServicesXE is running.
7. ora_dba is added in Group.
Problem in SQLPLUS
When i try connect SQLPLUS in cmd i get ERROR: ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
i . In cmd i type sqlplus and enter then i been ask for username and password.
ii. After i insert my username and password and enter then i get the error of ORA-12560.

2. Then, i add reference Oracle.DataAccess into my project.
3. I type following script into my vb form:
Imports System.Data
Imports Oracle.DataAccess.Client
Imports Oracle.DataAccess.Types
Public Class Logon
Private Sub cmdLogon_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdLogon.Click
Dim oradb As String = "Data Source = OraDb; User Id = system; Password = shin;"
Dim conn As New OracleConnection(oradb)
conn.Open()
Dim cmd As New OracleCommand
cmd.Connection = conn
cmd.CommandText = "select SName from Staff where SName = shin"
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
Dim dr As OracleDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
dr.Read()
lblOra.Text = dr.Item("SName")
conn.Dispose()
End Sub
End Class
Problem in VB2010
When i run my project and press the button i get error message ORA-12514: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified at conn.Open()
Extra Question*
1. Im notice in my netbook xp home sp2, before i install ODT11beta my sqlplus look fine thought cmd but after i installed ODT11beta its same problem with my Vista sp2 now. Get error ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error :( I tried uninstall ODT11beta again and restart its work fine again. Which i really dun understand. Izzit the version ODT11 is not suitable for 10g xe? And i dunno this problem is related with my connection between oracle 10g xe and vb2010 or not. So confuse@@
2. I wish to know more about connect between Oracle and VB, is there still a things i miss?(I mean steps or configuration that should i done)
3. Or i just lower my VB version could make more easy? If yes, what version VB should i use that could work out with oracle 10g xe?
4. Sorry for too bad my english but i really wish somebody could help me. Please try to understand my written or you could ask me mean if dont understand. Im stuck!! Stuck feel not really that good.....

Huhu..
Yo, henry
I thought the OraDb is just a name for entry but im not sure it is a service. I was refer http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/cook-vs08.html at topic Connection Strings and Objects.

Izzit ok? I notice there is no listed OraDb. but tnsping OraDb seem fine.
Actually there is somethings as a newbie i wondering long time alreadly ><
1. The origin of tnsname.ora is no OraDb or ORCL but i just simple add it by open tnsname.ora with notepad. Im just not sure it is function or not.
Also please check at my TNSNAME.ORA:

Arstechnica: Creative lies on missing DTS/Dolby Decoding feature

Creative Says : "these functions are not supported at driver level in Windows Vista." This isn't true. When two of the driver files from a standard X-Fi card are replaced with two driver files drawn from a Dell-specific driver available at the company's support [url="http://support.us.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R44728&for matcnt=&libid=0&fileid=9372">web site[/url], DTS and DD decoding immediately reappear as options and function correctly."
"Creative might be able to get away with saying that DTS and DD decoding aren't enabled at the driver level for X-Fi and Audigy cards, but the functionality is clearly baked into the driver and is thus supported."
[url="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/2008033-creative-irate-after-modder-spruces-up-vista-x-fi-drivers.html">Arstechnica story on the Dolby & DTS Decoding scandal
[/url]
Below is my open letter to Creative about this situation ....
To Creative Executi'ves ,
I am a core customer, someone who has been purchasing your cards for years. Hear me out.
What you may not realize is this whole backlash about your drivers is not new, it has been building up slowly for months and has just now come to a head. With both my Audigy and more recently my X-fi Fatality card on XP, I have always used my Creative card as the center of sound on both my computer and my entertainment system. I took it for granted that after spending so much money on the ultimate sound card, that I could just plug in my cable box or dvd player into x-fi and my Klipsch speakers would hum. After spending so much money on computer speakers that would also double as my TV center speakers I was not about to buy another external decoder to do something I expect my sound card to do.
At first after moving to Vista I thought that this feature was eventually coming, that you were working diligently to get my x-fi's decoding capabilities back. Then month after month my expectations dwindled. Imagine my anger when I come to realize that this feature was purposely removed at the software level. That by simply adding two files from a x-fi dell driver that the feature came back. Then on top of it you pour salt into the wound by never fully explaining the reason why you removed these important features. Your explanation was simply that it was not supported and that PowerDVD would now handle all Dolby/DTS decoding. After months of waiting your explanation was far from sufficient. Imagine how annoyed i was trying to figure out how to get PowerDVD to actually decode something from an outside source , which it does not. In my case, and many others on this forum your explanation was lacking. Im going to take a leap and assume that something about Vista's DRM has prevented you from decoding Dolby & DTS. If that is the case why not come out and just explain it to your customers as such. Your lack of transparency on this issue has just been plain bad and now because of it you are angering your customer base.
Let me be clear, in my eyes, this situation has severely hurt your companies reputation and brand. The sad thing about this is that in the end this is not a story about lacking features. It's a story about a company with good products that just did not know how to effecti'vely communicate with it's customers. Will I ever buy another creative product again, I dunno. But I do know that this whole fiasco has decreased the chances that I will. If I do , it will most definitely not be one of your upper end products as I have always purchased in the past.
Im done with this rant, im going to play some Battlefield 2 with Ultra High EAX settings. Hey, at least they did not take away all my features like they did with those poor Audigy users

PawPaw, I feel your pain ! I currently own both an Audigy Platinum and a Creative X-fi Fatality. The main reason I purchased the upgrade cards which included breakout boxes is for the optical/digital in feature. As I say in my letter, I have, for years hooked up my DVD and cable box to provide my theater entertainment though my computer speakers. The setup worked great?
Creative in essence has retroacti'vely removed the feature that was the motivating factor in my purchase of their upper model cards. By making the decision not to add this "expected" feature on Vista (The default OS)? Creative, as I see it has in actuality removed a defining functionality from it's product line. It has made the front box with all it's special hook ups, pointless. Angering your enthusiast base is just not a good way to bring your company back into the green. If Creative had at least explained the reason for the feature removals, that's one thing. It would at least be a start towards improving customer communication.
It's sad to see such a staple in the tech industry go down hill so fast. While the company executi'ves in singapore are huddling around planning their company comeback.... Which is no doubt the next greatest thing high fidelity MP3 players . They ought to take some time out to think about the customer again because a company li'ves and dies on it's customers, not it's technology.

Has anybody else had this problem

'Alea ecta est'
Man kann über Adobe sagen was man will, aber der Support
zu meinen Problemen war wirklich hilfreich bemüht und sehr
freundlich. Leider brachte er keine brauchbare Lösung hervor.
Mittlerweile betrachte ich das Problem aber als ein durchaus
MS-spezifisches, da MS bei Vista ja verspricht, auch 32-bit-SW von
Drittanbietern zu unterstützen, wobei es lediglich nur bei
älteren Programmen zu Problemen kommen kann (Stichwort:
Kompatibilitätsassistent). Die heutige Anfrage beim
telefonischen Support von MS (AT), welche Lösungen von Seiten
von MS angeboten werden, brachte nur die lapidare Aussage hervor,
ich möge mir doch eine XP-Pro-Version (32-bit) käuflich
zulegen und Vista derweilen in den Schrank stellen. Ansonsten solle
ich mich doch gefälligst an die Anbieter der von mir
benötigten SW wenden, damit sich diese (wörtlich!)
'endlich herablassen', deren SW unter Vista lauffähig zu
machen.
Fazit: MS hat wieder einmal seinen schlechten Ruf unter
Beweis gestellt. Für mich bedeutet das aber folgendes - die
endgültige Abkehr von MS-Produkten und Einrichtung unseres
neuen Büros mit Linux. Es wird bei uns nur noch einen PC
geben, auf dem eine XP-Pro-Version läuft, um professionelle SW
(die noch nicht auf Linux portiert ist) einsetzen zu können.
Meine Bitte daher an Adobe - macht Eure SW (zB. CS3-Suite)
Linux-tauglich. Ihr könnt davon nur profitieren!

Flash Player on IE and Vista SP2 won't run

I have two laptops in front of me, one running Vista SP2 IE8, the other XP SP2 IE8. The Vista machine would not accept FP10 update, so updated all MS products, uninstalled current version of FP, which wouldn't run, then attempted download. No response from Adobe FP site after clicking "Agree and install now" button. To test site, updated the XP laptop. The Install Adobe FP page was different for each laptop, with the XP site including option to load Google bar. Downloaded and upgraded XP, no problem. With the Vista system, checked the Macromd folder in System32 and is completely empty. No other folders. Need FP on the Vista laptop. Recommendations?

Try the offline ActiveX installer for Internet Explorer:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

Poblem connecting CISCO anyconnect secure mobility client ver. 3.1.04 versus Windows VISTA SP2: Login denied

Hi,
Suddenly I have this error with my client cisco AnnyConnect ver. 3.1.04063 connecting with my computer:windows vista SP2.
Message appeared: "Login denied. "name_company" security policies have rejected your login" and nothing else.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall the client annyconect ver.3.1.04063 but not success, the same message, I think it's a problem with my computer because my user id with other computer colleagues runs ok and I can authenticate perfectly.
Few days ago and always I have worked without problems then I don't know what happens...perhaps an automatically update of windows vista¿?
Anyone of you with similar issue or problem?
Thanks in advance.

I have another computer with windows 8.1 and Cisco VPN Anyconnect version 3.1 works fine ! what is wrong with this computer. After a little bit of research I realised that this issue is from cisco hostscan. Interesting enough comp A(computer A) where vpn client works does not have cisco host csan folder in program files (x86). On this computer I did saw that folder and deleted it.
I found the following information
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Cisco\Cisco HostScan\lib has some sort of .libs for various antivirus.... I have AVG Antivirus 2015 and Spy Bot ...
I have attached log files, if anybody wants to investigate then you are more than happy to investigate. Happy to be of help in case if you need any further input.

PSE12 download difficulties with Windows Home Basic Vista SP2

After 4 attempts and 4 failures and equally 4 uninstall operations, I have yet to get a functional version of PSE12 purchased online at the Adobe website in Dec, 2013. Furthermore, my Adobe account does not list this purchase...YES, I do have a copy of the original purchase receipt both hard-copy printed, and pdf-copy-saved, at the time of purchase. And, yes, my Visa card provider lists Adobe posting this purchase. However, Adobe never emailed me to confirm my purchase nor give me a link to download the software! I did register my PSE12 serial number at my Adobe account site a few days later. That is the only information Adobe shows on my account regarding my as-yet-unobtained PSE12.
I have a 5 year old Dell Inspiron with Windows Home Basic Vista SP2 that also seems to have all the requirements to use PSE12. I have PSE6 now on the machine, and, really love its features. I do not view any video on this laptop, i.e. no movies or video games, just occasion short YouTube-type videos. This is word-processing and image-processing workhorse. I do a fair amount of PhotoShop work with still images, and, simply wanted the latest upgrade of PSE. Adobe was offering it at a good sale price.
I have been online to chat with Adobe telling me to go through the trial download version, then 'buy' it by giving the serial number. That worked once, but, did not generate a functional app. What is Error 105??? I have had at least two phone calls with Adobe, one with a rep who could not help, and, the other with a rep whose foreign accent was almost impossible to understand. I am hearing-inpaired, and, mere audio-volume enhancement is not always enough trying to speak with someone for whom English is not their native language.
So now what? I do not have high confidence that Adobe can or will fix this. I have posted several detailed reports at their security site because I was concerned that my downloads were being hijacked and possibly my credit card information compromised. They say they do not have my phone number, though it is posted at my Adobe account site. Adobe Photoshop and Adobe's pdf options are very good programs that I used for years, first with Apple computers, and, then after 2008 with a Windows PC. Has Adobe become overwhelmed with cyber-security problems? I'm about at the point where I want my money back. Can anyone suggest an image-application as good as PSE? Help!

HP Pavilion dv6 1133-ea Windows Vista SP2

So after install windows vista sp2, I have noticed that the sound has disappeared...all the drivers are installed! AND I really cannot see why the sound would not be there because the drivers and everything are fine...is it some sort of compatability problem?

Hi,
Try the following.
First, uninstall Skype and when this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has reloaded, download and reinstall the Chipset driver Here.
When the installation has finished, restart the notebook again.
Let windows fully load, then download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp45001-45500/sp45044.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.
Let Windows fully load, then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
Reinstall Skype and see if the Mic now works Ok.

Tecra M9-136 asked this morning to update to Vista SP2 and during the process the BSOD 0x0000007E arrived. Restarted in Safe Mode and the installer continued and then finally reported that the update had failed - and reverted to SP1. This took most of the morning.
It will start in Safe Mode but on a normal boot-up, Vista SP1 gets through the fingerprint recognition and then fails with the same BSOD (it doesn't get as far as displaying the desktop).
The laptop has BIOS level 1.80. I've tried in Safe mode to install 1.90 but it tells me that the battery has insufficient charge and the power adapter isn't attached. Both untrue.
Stuck - need advice. Could this be a hard fault? Can't see how I can update anything if it's a soft fault.
thanks

The message with the BSOD mentioned checking BIOS and driver versions. Anyway, no change made to that.,
I tried System Restore but the only available restore point was the SP2 installation. I thought Vista was supposed to save a restore point every 24 hours even if nothing new had been installed.
I've now found in System Information / Windows Error Reporting several messages like this:

Vista SP2 and Access connections requiring manual reconnect

Hi,
I'm experiencing a problem after the installation of Windows Vista SP2 on my Vista Business. After a reboot, I must always manually 1) disconnect the WLAN connection and then 2) reconnect to establish a working WLAN connection and to gain access to Internet. Before I disconnect, the WLAN connection is alive, but I cannot access any websites. Everything worked just fine before installation of SP2.
I'm running Access connections version 4.42 on Thinkpad R61. I've read that someone has had a similar problem with wired LAN and with newer version of Access connections: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/itprovistasp/thread/17ba267e-0bb1-4621-b81f-04afa0d806...
Does someone know how to solve this issue and make the connection to work without a manual disconnect -> reconnect step?
BR,
Miika

After some searching, I found a working solution:

Everything works fine now.
