Will any Creative MP3/Video Players Work With Vista Ultimate/Yahoo Music Out of the B

i've had a heck of a time getting my zen touch to work with my new vista ultimate dell pc, almost ready to give up. why i'm even thinking of getting another creative device given the above i'm not sure, but if i was, do any of the current devices (20gb or greater, mostly for music but want video capabilities) work with vista and yahoo music correctly and without a huge amount of heartache? and if not, any other devices i should look at? i really like the yahoo music service so don't want to go the apple route. thx!

iTunes is only intended for iPods and iPhones. In recent releases, Apple has instituted changes that prevent it from being used with other devices, e.g. release 8.2.1 deliberately broke the ability to sync with the Palm Pre.
Since you will be using multiple platforms, make sure that all music that your rip or purchase is in MP3 format. Then your music can be used in iTunes, Creative, or any other player or program, without conversion or compatibility problems.
Per the problem with Zen and Vista, you may wish to try the question on a Zen discussion.

  • Please help! Will any of these camera's work with VC3 Camera Requirements?

    I am looking to do news broadcasts for my website. I was looking into Panasonic GS-500, GOOD CAMERA, discontinued. I don't like the GS320 as it doesn't include a mic or headphone input. So I have no choice but to spendaround a thousand dollars for a 3CCD or CMOS camera that can shoot good broadcast web news segments.
    I have narrowed my choice to three camera's that have mic, firewire, essential for VC3 but I can't decide. I don't know if they are compatibile with the software, need help from the experts.
    This is requirement from the adobe website:
    ******What types of cameras can I use with Visual Communicator?*******
    Visual Communicator works with standard webcams and camcorders. Most camcorders will require some kind of video input card such as a FireWire (IEEE 1394) card or an analog capture card. Whether you are using a webcam or camcorder, it's important that the camera or input card has a Windows®driver that is DirectShow compatible. Most of them do. If your device is older, you might need to visit the manufacturer's website to download a new driver that is DirectShow compatible. Inside Visual Communicator you will find a menu that lists all of the DirectShow devices attached to your computer, and you can select which one you wish to use for your video input. If you have an analog video capture card, you can also hook up your VCR and use recorded footage.*********
    Could you please read the specs and let me know if they will work with VC3:

  • Will any wired MIghty Mouse still work with my G5?

    Unfortunately, my Mighty Mouse has reached the impossible-to-clean-trackball-anymore stage. It just won't scroll up anymore.
    My current Mighty Mouse dates to 2006 or 2007. I wish I knew the exact model number beyond A1152.
    Must I be concerned about what model Mighty Mouse I buy to replace this one? I know they came out with some zoom version. I don't care about the zoom. I just want the basic scrolling (I don't even use the side buttons; just click and scrolling).
    Will any model of wired Mighty Mouse be okay?
    Thanks so much!

  • WRT610N disconnects and does not work with Vista or media center extenders like the DMA2200

    Linksys and all other router manufacturers advertise the greatness of the wireless 5ghz band (especially with 802.11n), but I’m beginning to have my doubts.  It is true that the 5Ghz band is hardly being used so you'll have virtually no one to compete with.  However, the 5Ghz distance in no way compares to 2.4Ghz, and as a matter of fact, I find it to be quite terrible.  At approximately 20 feet away, both my Linksys DMA2200 and HP notebook barely get 1 bar using the 5Ghz N band with my WRT610N router.  In comparison, while using my 2.4Ghz WRT54g router, I get 5 full bars at that range, and at least 2 bars from anywhere else in my house.  
    I have all Linksys equipment in my house as I have been impressed with all of their 2.4Ghz in the past.  However, I’ve recently upgraded everything to dual-band N equipment and found numerous flaws in each of the new devices, plus none of them really even play well together.  My setup is: Linksys 610n router, DMA2200 media center extender, and a WUSB600N Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter for my laptop – all of which are currently using the most up-to-date firmware. Other devices include a WRE54G extender and  Nintendo Wii. 
    Problem  #1) The LELA software with the new N devices doesn't even recognize that my DMA2200 is a media center extender.  Using LELA, I should be able to select my media extender and allocate more bandwidth for streaming media.  However, since my extender only shows up as an “unknown network device” those options are greyed out.  I tried to manually change the device to a media center, but still no go.  I suppose you can manually allocate bandwidth in the router setup somewhere, but considering these are all Linksys products, it’s absolutely ridiculous that an option specifically incorporated in the LELA software for a Linksys Media Extender does not work!!!   
    Problem #2) If you are only using one system with the router, the router might actually work as intended.  For most of us though there are going to be at least 2 or more systems connected to the router (wired, wireless, or a combination of the two) such as a PS3, Wii, laptop, PC, media extender, Xbox, etc.  If that’s the case, you’re probably screwed because you WILL experience frequent dropouts… ESPECIALLY if just one those clients is a VISTA machine.   Check the Linksys forums and you will find that this seems to be a problem with all of the new Linksys routers (610N, 310N, and 110). 
    Here is a Microsoft article that explains the issue
       http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233/en-us 
    Problem #3) Because of  problem #2 I will never be able to get rid of the dropouts since my network is using one of Linksys’s media center extenders.  The DMA2200 is essentially a VISTA PC to some extent and accepts DHCP requests the same as a VISTA PC.  Since it is not really a PC though, there is no registry modification that can be done to alleviate the VISTA problem (not that the registry mod really works anyways).  So as long as I try to use my DMA2200 wirelessly with my WRT610N router, the frequent dropouts will occur and there’s nothing I can do about it.  This is REALLY TERRIBLE since the DMA2200 is specifically designed to be used with the WRT610N router in order to take advantage of the 5Ghz band and wireless N transfer rates.  You absolutely need 5Ghz wireless N to efficiently stream HDTV WIRELESSLY, but if you lose your connection every 10 minutes, it is impossible to watch any type of streaming media. 
    Problem #4) As mentioned already, when the “N” 5Ghz range is working on the WRT510N router, the distance sucks compared to standard 2.4Ghz G, N or mixed mode networks.  You can try to make it better by strictly using N products, disabling the 2.4ghz band all-to-gether, and using the wider 40mhz frequency, but it doesn’t really help.  The higher 5Ghz band is a more concentrated signal and therefore simply does not reach as far as the lower 2.4ghz band.  I wonder why all of these new products state that the 5Ghz range will increase your distance, when in fact it actually makes it worse?   
    So… basically, this router does nothing that it claims too and is basically rendered useless on any network with a VISTA machine.  This has not been addressed by any Linksys firmware updates or VISTA software updates so there is no reason to even consider using this router if you you’re using VISTA or some type of VISTA Media Center Extender such as the Linksys DMA2200.  
    Although, I’ve always sworn by Linksys in the past, the amount of wasted time, frustration, and horrible support has really changed my view about them.  I’ve reverted back to my old trustworthy WRT54g router and had to run cable through my house so that I wouldn’t have to box my DMA2200 extender up and let it collect dust in the attic.  It’s really disappointing that I spent all this money to buy this equipment specifically because they’re supposed to work together, but in fact they don’t.  Plus what’s the point of having top notch wireless equipment if you have to run cables in order for them to work?

    I have fixed all the IP adresses to avoid the DHCP problem but I still have problems.
    I have sereval scenarioes:
    1. MC < 1Gb wire > WRT610N < 5.0n WIFI > MX
    I can see HDTV on this one but it disconnects
    2. MC < 1Gb wire > WRT610N < 2.4b/g WIFI > MX
    No HDTV and disconnections
    3. MC < 2.4b/g WIFI > WRT610N < 2.4b/g WIFI > MX
    No HDTV but no disconnections - but very slow and streaming like youtube
    4. MC < 100Mb wire > WRT610N < 2.4b/g WIFI > MX
    No HDTV but nice picture - testing for disconnections right now - 30+ min.
    Result:
    This test was very good. Stabil streaming, no disconnects for an hour. Won't support HDTV but the rest seem to work fine.
    5. MC < 100Mb wire > WRT610N < 5.0n WIFI > MX
    Not tested yet - looking forward to this - might bring me HDTV.
    Result:
    This gives HDTV but there is a problem with stability on the streaming but very difficult to see on the picture. Testing for disconnects - now tested for 30 min. - no disconnects.
    This looks really promissing.
    I am pretty sure that the WRT610N have a problem in the switching part of the router specially when it has to switch from 1G to WIFI. I bought the WRT610N to get HDTV on WIFI and Cisco markets the DMA and WRT610N as a perfect match. But it definately have problems - i still do not understand their silence about this.
    I will come back with the last results when I have them

  • AUDIGY 2 ZS doesnt works with vista ultimate

    The problem is, when i try to install the drivers SBAX_PCDVTBETA_US_2_2_000, this message below appear to me:?"Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system.Please ensure that your product is properly installed beforerunning this Setup program.Setup will exit."?The point is before this, Vista tries to find the driver to my Audigy 2 ZS without any success... So, any body knows some solution for this?ThanksByron

    I have the same problem with Vista home premium. I've tried every driver possibilities, I reinstalled the original disks and then the Vista beta drivers and my card still isn't being recognized. My computer can play sound but all of the advanced features of my sound card are unavailable.

  • Shortcut [ALT]+[SHIFT]+[P] doesnt work with Vista ultimate??!

    hello
    when i try to create a new position key frame in the time line, i always used the shortcut [ALT]+[SHIFT]+[P]. on other versions before Vista it was working perfectly.
    on the Vista ultimate though, instead of creating a key frame, i get the windows "mediaplayer" loading up, every time i use this shortcut.
    i looked for this shortcut to change within media player, but couldn't find it.
    is there a way to change the shortcut inside after effects?
    i am using after effect CS3.
    all other shortcuts (like [ALT]+[SHIFT]+[J] or [ALT]+[SHIFT]+[S]) are working fine...
    thank you
    R Sting

    Go to the start/Windows button, click and in the search box type "Windows Media Player." DON'T select the icon (thereby opening the application).
    INSTEAD, right click the icon for the media player and choose "Properties." You will see a box for shortcut...just delete the one that's there and it will now show as "None."

  • Will other non-supported video cards work with premiere pro?

    I have some older Dell Optiplex 755 and 760's that have limited space for graphics cards.  Most everything that I find that will fit or I can afford are not on the Premiere Pro system requirements list of supported cards.  Will others work?

    Initial benchmark results with AMD cards show they are about two times slower than equally priced nVidia cards.
    From: Tweakers Page - What video card to use?
    To say that one solution is 2X faster across the board on comparably spec'ed cards would be incorrect.
    Based on ...???
    AMD and Intel cards used with the perpetual license are at least 10 x slower than nVidia cards when hardware MPE is turned on.

  • Will X1650XT 512MB AGP Video Card work with 865PE MS-6728?

    Hi,
    My video card is fried, so I'm thinking of upgrading to a HIS X1650XT AGP 512MB video card. I read somewhere that some motherboards have issues with 512MB video cards. Is this true? I can't find anymore info on whether this motherboard will support this video card.
    http://www.hisdigital.com/html/product_ov.php?id=276&view=yes
    Anyone have any input?
    Thanks!

    No need to get hostile, I didn't say you were an idiot.  Though continuing to make uninformed statements might get you there....
    Quote
    The video cards need at least 30A to make the card run properly.  That's pretty damn easy to understand how the last PSU was the problem.
    Actually, it doesn't.  The 30A figure cited by the manufacturer is a worse case scenario for +12V needs of the entire system + the graphics card.  The X1650XT doesn't even need an auxillary PCI Express power connector and can be powered entirely through the PCI Express slot, which supports a maximum of 75W.
    If you need further proof of this, for CrossFire setups the manufacturer cites a figure of 38A on the +12V rail.  If one card requires 30A, how could two cards require only 8A (96W) more than one?  The same requirements are stated for X1950XT (30A single and 38A Crossfire), so its a highly generic target that attempts to account for an entire range of power supply rating methods and total system power demands.
    Here are total power consumption measurements of whole systems used in various X1650XT tests:
    Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme X6800 @ 2.93 GHz
    Corsair TWIN2X2048-8500C4
    Western Digital 150GB 10K Raptor
    Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value
    AMD ATI Radeon X1650 XT
    Total system power under 3D load = 206 Watts MAX
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
    2GB Crucial PC-4000
    Western Digital 74GB 10K Raptor
    AMD ATI Radeon X1650 XT
    Total system power under 3D load = 192 Watts MAX (only 66W higher for 2 x X1650XT in CrossFire)
    Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme X6800 (2.93GHz/4MB)
    Seagate 7200.7 160GB SATA
    Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 (1GB x 2)
    AMD ATI Radeon X1650 XT
    Total system power under 3D load = 182 Watts MAX
    Those are figures for TOTAL system power needs, not the graphics card itself.  Here are figures just for the X1650XT from X-bit Labs:
    55.2 Watts @ full load
    That's not more than 5A MAX from the +12V rail.  Even assuming a 20% VRM loss, gets us to around 6A MAX.
    As anyone can plainly see, the manufacturer's stated requirement of 30A is a hugely overinflated number to help people avoid purchasing a power supply like this because they are looking only at hugely inflated total power.
    Given that your X1650XT could not possibly require more than 6A of 12V+ power, and high-end systems using overclocked Dual Core Extreme don't even consume more than around 250W TOTAL (all components combined, factoring VRM loss), the evidence is now overwhelming and beyond dispute that your previous power supply was more than adequate and that inadequate power was never the cause of your problem.  It could have been defective, but that isn't the same as having inadequate power.

  • Will any of my old displays work with the new Mac Mini

    I am thinking of getting a new Mac Mini.     What I need to know is if any of the monitor/displays I have here can bem used.

  • Will any branded expresscard USB3.0 work with 17" PRO

    This is something i had researched a while back and found that the answer was no, unless i wanted to go with lacie's proprietry driver or sonnetts card which is a little more than i would want to pay considering the price of incompatible cards. Now that apple have released their new lineup i assume they'll have native drivers. My question is, will this open the old macbooks up to a wider range of usb3 expresscards.
    Thank you.

    Your reasoning is valid but it does not follow that it will be that case.  I did have a conversation with a member of the technical stall at OWC regarding USB3 express cards and they related to me that data transfer rates were increased but not up the the levels USB3 is capable of.  No precise numerical values were quoted to me.
    Ciao.

  • Creative Console Launcher not working after Vista Ultimate upgr

    I have a Dell XPS700 with the Creative SB X-Fi soundcard and fi've speakers. Surround Sound for MP3, WAV, TV etc Was working great under Win XP Pro SP2. Now, I can't seem to configure the rear speakers. When I go to Start - All Programs - Sound Blaster X-Fi - Creative Console Launcher, I get a "The console for the current mode of your audio device cannot be launched." message and I cannot select the Entertainment Mode.

    Actually, you need to/should update your drivers (Creative *has* Vista-ready drivers for the X-Fi, including a new Audio Console). The only cards that Creative does *not* have Vista drivers for are cards *older* than the base Audigy (the only relati'vely new card affected is the Audigy SE). The base Audigy (in fact, *all* Audigy-series except the SE) has Vista beta drivers available (and a new Audio Console is part of the package).
