Vista won't allow 7.1 Speakers with Creative X-Fi Elite

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit edition, and using the X-Fi Elite Pro. I have the latest drivers (May 30, 2007 release). In the Creative Audio Console, I went to the Speakers tab and selected 7. Speakers from the drop-down, but it changes to 5. immediately. Also, in the Windows Sound control panel, I can only select up to 5. Surround in the speaker configuration setup page. I remember being able to select 7. with the previous driver. Did they forget to include 7. speakers in this driver release or something?Someone please help! I'd love to be able to use all of my Gigaworks S750 speakers.

I can't find any link to download this suite and I won't pay Creative for a driver CD!All Download links are deleted.Also I foud some information about the files included in this suite. It seems there are no newer files then the driver download page features. [color="#336699">Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series Vista Driver 2.5.0002 (5.09 MB)
[color="#336699">Creative ALchemy (X-Fi Edition) .00.04 (8.73 MB)
[color="#336699">Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi WaveStudio (Windows Vista) 7.0.7 (5.3 MB)
[color="#336699">Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Smart Recorder (Windows Vista) 2.40.20 (28.8 MB)
For Alchemy is already a newer version .00.07 released.But thanks for your help.

  • Old Apple ID request won't allow me to continue with the reset

    A few months ago I called Apple Care because I was having trouble changing our apple ID from our old email address to the new one. I thought we had resolved the issue but tonight, I wiped the I Pad, logged in with my current ID and then when I went to restore from the icloud backup, it requested the password but the little blurb had the old apple id.  I tried using the old password but it wouldn't let me in and I since I wiped the ipad, I can't continue or figure out how to change this setting.  Spent hours with Apple care a few months ago, but evidently we didn't fix this issue and I can't reach out to Apple Care without paying another fee.Can someone tell me how to get rid of the old apple ID/email address completely and continue with the reset??

    Try logging on to your iCloud account and wiping the iPad that way.
    remove it, which will erase it, and will turn off the activation lock.

  • No sound through laptop speakers with creative 2

    until now i had a dell xps with xp windows and it worked just fine now i got a lenovo 3000 n 00 series and i cant put the pcmcia creative card to work with the speakers , the windows here is vista , i don't know if it is because the vista or not..

    I dont think it is driver related issue. The problem must be something else.
    I dont know which sound card is inside but open please control panel and check if there is listed Realtek audio options or something like that and check all options there.
    In audio port where you can connect headphones is placed small switch that enables or disables internal speakers. It is also possible that this small switch doesnt work properly.
    Check sound settings at first and come back with some feedback.

  • Won't get past "start syncing" with creative cloud?

    I'm trying to sync my creative cloud with my computer but it only loads for a little while and then goes back to say "Start syncing". I've restarted everything and yes I have the CC desktop version. What should I do? I want my creative cloud as a folder on my computer (macbook pro).

    Ah, i got it to work by uninstalling the desktop app and installing it again. For those who have the same problem.

  • Acrobat Pro won't allow to save with Reader Extended Features

    I've saved forms this way before because all the users of our forms only have the free Reader version. For some reason it now won't allow me to save with the extended features. When I save as and hover over "Reader Extended PDF" it shows my 3 options but none of them are clickable. I don't know why it has saved before, but it won't now.
    I also have a secondary issue. A form I previously, successfully saved this way is now not working for one of the users. It won't allow her to save the information she inputs. To my knowledge it has not been changed and it has only been used by a few people. Why would it suddenly stop allowing her to save?
    I am working on a Mac, but the users are all on PC's. I've never had this be an issue before though.

    Be sure you're not in form editing mode when you attempt to enable the document.
    Regarding not being able to save with Reader after initially being able to, this has been reported before many times but the casue is often elusive. The document has somehow changed in a way that prevents the usage rights from being validated. This is not supposed to happen, but it does.

  • Message won't allow me to sync ipod touch

    Hi sorry title is so vague.
    I have 8gb touch. Loaded itunes ok, started to load details of ipod, when I got the part of the registration when i was asked if i wanted to be able to track my ipod i clicked on the option "not now". This screen now loads up every time i open itunes and won't allow me to sync with my pc. I have removed itunes and reinstalled with no success. I have even tried deleting the message, but i'm unable to. Every time i open itunes this message page remains. Its not an error message as such, but it is stopping me from using my ipod

    I think that this previous discussion may help:

  • I can't backup my icloud on my ipad because icloud won't let me sign in with my new email address

    How can I backup my icloud files on my ipad and iphone when icloud won't allow me to login with my new email address when I try to initiate backup. My apple i.d.was successfully changed in April 2014 but some aspects of icloud don't seem to have accepted those changes.

    If you need to change the iCloud ID on it, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy the songs, but I just don't have the "import" button. So it won't allow me to do anything with the songs from her computer. What should I do now?

    I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy all the songs I want, but it won't allow me to import them because my iTunes doesn't show the "import" button at the bottom. So what do I do now?

    I have reinstalled the drivers. I watched it install the realtec and cirrus drivers. Hovering the mouse over the speaker icon says 'speakers: HP'. They are actually 'Creative'. 'Properties' indicates 'IDT High Definition CODEC' and 'This device is working correctly'.
    Driver details gives 'c:\Windows\system32\drivers\dmk.sys'.
    There is still no sound, although the little level meter on the control shows a green bar rising and falling.
    Obviously, it thinks it's working, but there's no connection to the speakers. They're not muted, either. I checked that too.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.

  • All the apps that I have downloaded are "waiting" and whenever I try to sync apps on my computer with my phone, the apps section is greyed out and won't allow me to do anything. I have tried restoring to factory settings but it didn't work.

    How can I access my apps? They are all greyed out in itunes. I have tried restoring my iphone to factory settings but that didn't work. I have a feeling it may have something to with the restrictions settings on my phone  restrictions are on) but it won't allow me to change the restrictions without putting in a passcode. I don't remember ever having a passcode and after several attempts have not been able to get the right code.
    Also. on my phone, in settings, personal hotspot, iCloud and Twitter are greyed out. And, the App Store icon is missing from my screen as well.
    Can anybody help me with this?
    Thanks

    yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
    With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
    open itunes on my computer
    click on my device on the left
    go to the device summary
    click restore
    it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
    then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
    then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
    Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

    This process does not appear to work for me.  I'm running 10.8.3.  I created a new user for a guest staying with me.  They have gone now and I am attempting to either change the password or delete the user.  It won't allow me to choose the user I created.  I am logged in as myself and it states that I am an "Admin".  The user I'm attempting to change is listed as a "standard" user and there is a white checkmark inside an orange circular background on the user pic in the list of users. 
    Can someone help me?  I am having a hard time believing that OSx will allow me to create users and allow them use of my computer and it's drives, yet it will not allow me to change the password so I can monitor what they might have been doing while logged on?  What if this were my child?  This guest left under sketchy circumstances, and I'd really like to be able to ensure they were not using my computer to do illegal things or to have illegal communications.
    Any help would be appreciated.  (It's odd that it was so simple to "create" a user and set a password for them.......but it's complicated or a little known process to reverse.
    Thanks.

    Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing.  The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as).  The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue).  However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens.  It will not change to highlight that user.

  • I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one?  Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!

    You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

  • Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up

    My Acer Aspire 180 Desktop PC  with Windows Vista won't boot up and has a Recovery error message that says it shut down unsuccessfully. Can someone help me with this issue?

    If you have Recovery Disk then try to repair install. If you do not have then you have to contact Acer Support for getting them.
    Once it is recovered you must update the Graphic Card Driver. Visit the website of the Graphic Card manufacturer to update it.

    I think you mean Photoshop CS2.  Photoshop 2 is from around 1992.  The old Adobe activation servers were taken down. CS2 is about a decade old Adobe made a new download for old customers that legal customers can download and install. Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products
