Windows 7 and Creative Official Drivers! It really works!

Ok guys, I'm really ecstatic that this works! Here are all of the steps that you need to follow to get your OFFICIAL Creative drivers working on Windows 7!
So usually you'll run the installer but it'll tell your that your OS is unsupported and that you need one "newer" than XP. Here is the fix for it!
. First, download the appropriate driver for your card.
2. Create a temporary folder somewhere that you'll remember, e.g. on your desktop.
3. Right click on the downloaded driver (once complete) in your downloads folder. Click "Extract Files..." and when it loads extract them to your temporary folder.
4. Go into your temporary folder where the files extracted to. Right click on the Setup icon. It should be right there, no need to go into any other folders. In the menu select "properties."
5. Go to the "compatibility" tab and check the box at the bottom that says "run as administrator." After that go to the top and check the box that says "run this program in compatibility mode for:" and then choose "Windows Vista" from the dropdown menu. Click "ok".
6. Return to the temporary folder and double click on the same setup icon that you just changed and follow through with the installer. You're done!

Yes it works but it doesn't have fully working 7. surround sound mode My new drivers make surround sound work and new bass added to it. I be release them this [email protected]

  • Macbook Pro, BootCamp, Windows XP and Creative Suite 2, Oh my!

    Okay so here goes. I might get a 15", 1 GB mem, 120 GB HD MacBook Pro. On it I will most probably install Windows XP and CS 2. Is this a good idea or should I give up hope now? Will I be able to install any other progams including the above mentioned ones? Also, how exactly does bootcamp work, it shuts down the Mac OS and starts up Windows? So will it go snail speed? Thanks in advance.

    If you are intending to use Windows I would suggest upgrading the hard drive to 160GB. That will then allow you to have a 40GB Windows partition while leaving you with 120GB for your Mac OS X partition.
    As for RAM, I think you should look at having a 2GB minimum. Adobe CS2 coupled with Rosetta are quite the memory pigs so you'll get far better performance with an upgrade here as well.
    Boot Camp allows you to run either Windows or Mac OS X at a restart. It's really simple and runs Windows extremely quickly.

  • Updated my HP Laptop to Windows 8 and now DVD driver will not work. Help!

    I have a Hp Pavilion dv-7013cl Entertainment PC and everything was working perfectly. I updated to Windows 8 about a month ago and had some problems. I then did a clean install of Windows 8 and now all the bugs are fixed except my DVD drive will not work. 
    I insert a DVD or CD and nothing happens. I go to My Computer and click on it and it just ejects the DVD. I don't know what to do and need my DVD drive.
    Also, I tried to go to device manager and reinstall the driver but that didn't help. 

    Hi Crosby,
    Take a look at this document and try the troubleshooting steps.  Please let me know if it helps to resolve your issues.
    Good luck!

  • Windows Vista and Creative Zen Touch/ Creative Media Sou

    Hey there, I just got a shiny new laptop with Windows Vista (32 bit) and would like to install the media source player. Unfortunately I lost the CD with the installation long time ago. I downloaded all kinds of files for the Zen (the media player and the drivers) from the Creative site, but I just can't get it to work. Can anyone please tell which files I need to download and in which order That would be lovely! Many thanks,Julia

    I would work through the reset procedures given under the various FAQ threads and then try the firmware upgrade again after getting it out of recovery mode as that seems to be the issue. There seem to be a number of threads with things to try. I would not give up but first work through the various suggestions to get it out of recovery mode. Then post separately re the recovery mode problem to see if anyone has ideas for solving that first. Did it go into recovery mode immediately after the firmware upgrade? Will it let you try to do the firmware again?When I connect it takes about 20 secs before the player is recognized by media player. In terms of transfer to your own laptop - do you have a burner on the friends PC for burning a DVD or 2. Or a slower way is multiple transfers using a USB memory stick.

  • Windows 7 and HDD controller drivers

    I need a compatiable HDD controler driver for windows 7 for a  Slimline s3500F.  When I try to run a clean install on those desktops, windows 7 can not find a HDD to install on.  This is not an upgrade.  The drives have been formated in the windows 7 cmd term so nothing is on the disks.  I just need a HDD controller driver.
    I have already tried expanding the nForce 430/6150se chipset driver from nVidia's site (32bit Vista/win7 ed.), but none of the sata drivers in the archive are compatible with my hardware according to the Win7 install app.  If the Slimline s3500f does not use the nForce 430/6150se chipset, what does it use?  Getting any information for this computer seems to be difficult. On a personal note from myself and the company I work for, If we can't get any concrete answers to these questions I will be forced to upgrade our office PCs because the Slimline s3500F pc doesn't currently have an OS on them which is clearly unaccaptable.  If I am forced to upgrade, my company will never by HP again, this lack of clear documentation is appalling.
    Extra information if it's helpful.  
    A recent office move has resulted in the loss of our s3500F restore CDs.  Since we never purchased a copy of vista, and because XP seems to be impossible to install on them (errors after the xp pro Install coppied files to the HD & restarted), and because both IT and admin refuse to buy a real copy of vista, our only option right now is to get win7 on these PCs A.S.A.P.  We are using the 7227 Ultimate RC until Win7 goes for sale at retail.  However, as I've already said if we can't get our s3500F PCs online we will be upgrading our office equipment, (most likely canidate is Dell due to superior documentation).  I don't care about GFX, sound, or even card reader drivers.  I just need the Disk controler so we can get a base OS on them.  As long as they are operational we can wait for extra drivers.

    Assuming you have a genuine "Full License" version of Windows 7, open the motherboard BIOS and change the DVD drive to the first bootable drive and the Hard Drive as the second bootable drive.  Insert the Windows DVD in the DVD drive, save your new BIOS settings and upon restart you should be able to boot with the Windows 7 DVD.  When the setup menu appears, select the option to delete any existing partitions, then create a new partition and proceed to install Windows 7.
    I appreciate the reply but did you even read my post?  The problem isn't that I can't boot the windows 7 install DVD, the problem is that I can't get the Windows 7 installer to see my hard drive.
    For clarification puposes:
    I can boot off the windows 7 DVD
    The DVD rom in all of the s3500F systems is the primary boot device.
    There are no partitions to delete in the Win 7 setup screen because it can't detect any supported hardware to install on. 
    This is a Driver issue - not a bios issue.
    I have been able to determine from multiple websites now that the chipset in the s3500F is a nForce 430/6150SE.  The current revision (nVidia-15.49) of the driver with windows 7 support does not work.  I am currently in the process of trying older version of the nForce 430/6150SE to see which version of the SATAide driver will work with the s3500F in windows 7 ultimate.  

  • Windows 7 and 8.1 drivers firmware - on MacBook Pro 15" early 2011

    I have a MacBookPro8,2 1.0 - 15" - I purchased in March 2011. I have been using bootcamp 5.0 (upgrading now to 5.1) and running Windows 7.
    Two questions:
    1. what is the best way to know if I have the correct firmware and drivers for this computer?
    2. and does bootcamp support windows 8.1? thunderbolt display... others

    pushyourmind,
    If you’re up-to-date with Software Update, then you have the correct firmware installed. If you’re running 32-bit Windows 7, then Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4033 contains the correct drivers; if you’re running 64-bit Windows 7, then Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621 contains the correct drivers. Which ever support software corresponds to your version of Windows 7, try downloading the corresponding .zip archive and following the installation instructions on the corresponding link above when booted in Windows.
    Boot Camp 5.1 supports Windows 8.1 on your model MacBook Pro if you’re running OS X 10.8.3 or newer. Earlier versions of Boot Camp and older versions of OS X don’t support Windows 8.1 in Boot Camp on your model MacBook Pro.

  • Windows 2000 and Nokia Cable Drivers and PC Suite

    Appears Nokia does not support Windows 2k. Even though their web page states the USB Cable CA-101 driver, Nokia_Connectivity_Cable_Driver_rel_7_0_2_0_eng.msi, per their line "Nokia Cable Driver for Windows 2000, XP and Vista" on the web page says so. frustrating. Already aware that PC Suite version 7 is not supported in Win2k.
    Is there a driver out there for the USB Cable CA-101 that will connect to the phone running Windows 2000? and allow at least the sd memory card be accessed for data transfer and other functions? thank you.
    phone: 5610 XpressMusic
    OS: Win2k service pack 4

    Hi exergonico,
    Which device are you using?  Do you have CD that came along with your device?  Could you please Search(Google) for Nokia PC Suite 6.85 or 6.86 nokia pc suite version and install on your pc to check this issue?

  • Muse can't "see" my installed Add-ons from Adobe add-ons. I have a PC with Windows 7 and Creative Cloud.

    The Add-ons that I buy on Adobe is downloading and installing ok, according to the responds I see on thr icon of Creative Cloud in the right corner in win7, but they do not appear in Muse...I have re-installed Muse and Exhange CC. In Exhange CC all my Add-ons are under the catagory "Others" (Norwegian"Andre"), but I have installed a plug-in from Pond5 and Zencaptie for Premiere CC and they are ok. Its only Muse that have this problem, on my PC with Win7. Hope anyone can help, thanks!

    Next steps;
    Open muse on the page you want to
    add the item,
    Open your library tab and click the “import
    muse library” button… it is very small and easy to miss.
    Browse to the download folder and
    find the extension file which will be added to your library for you to use.

  • Incompatibility with Windows 8 and Intel WiFi Drivers

    Firefox 17 worked well with my original Intel driver for windows 8 but I had connection issues. I have now updated my Intel driver to 15.5.6 and now several of my websites will not display or load properly. All I get i a white screen with lines of black text or blue hyperlink text. It looks like a word document. Unfortunately I know that it is firefox because the websites work in google chrome. I would prefer to continue using firefox so I would love a patch or an update to change this.

    hello jenn.byers7, please go through the steps covered in [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]]

  • Creative ASIO drivers don't work properly with Cubase LE or WaveLab6

    It seems that there is some problematic "interaction" between the Creative X-Fi Elite Pro sound card with the ASIO-driver based Audio Creation Mode console (ACMC) and "connected" ASIO applications like WaveLab 6 or Cubase LE.
    I was using the SPDIF output from a DVD player. I created a audio PCM wav file at 24 bit/96 kHz with every sample in both left and right channels being identical with alternate bits set in each sample like so:
    101010101010101010101010
    When I record this SPDIF input stream with X-Fi Elite pro SPDIF-in using the RECORD section of ACMC with Bit-Accurate record mode set, the resultant recorded file is bit for bit identical to the source as expected. Great!
    However when I record using Cubase LE and a project with 96 kHz sampling rate in a stereo channel with only the ASIO SPDIF L and R channels enabled, (keeping the ACMC with identical settings in the backgroun) the resultant wave file has lots of "noise" in the lowest 8 bits or so, almost like it was dithered. The same thing happens when I record using WaveLab 6.
    So this seems to mean that somehow Creative's use of the ASIO driver in ACMC is not "sharing" the ASIO input bus signal properly with ASIO apps like CubaseLE and WaveLab6. For sure, the 24 bit audio recorded by Cubase or WaveLab6 is not "bit accurate" to the SPDIF input signal. I wonder what this means for the accuracy of details in recordings made with Cubase LE or WaveLab via Creative's ASIO driver??
