Windows 7 and drivers question

Like may people I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit from Vista 32-bit. When installing I used the optional update listed in Windows update?for Sound Blaster drivers, these were installed and the sound is working fine.
After a few days getting Windows 7 set up the way I wanted I decided to?find and install the extra?programs from Creative like Alchemy and the sound utilities. The problem is Creatives auto update is broken as posted on these forums?by a lot of other Sound Blaster users. My sound card was installed when I bought the card so I don't have the serial number or model number and I'm unwilling to take the machine apart to find these numbers.
My problem is that I'm sure my card is the PCI-Express Sound Blaster?X-Fi Xtreme Audio as the DVD installation disk I received with the computer shows a diagram of the card, I'm also pretty sure Vista Device Manager reported it as such. Windows 7 's Device Manager however reports it as just the Sound Blaster?X-Fi Xtreme Audio. While trying to find software and drivers manually on Creatives site there are separate drivers for these two cards, the PCI-Express one is version .0.4.0000 dated 30 June 09?and the other is .0.4.0090 dated 2 July 09. Neither of these drivers relate to the driver in Device Manager which Windows reports as version 6.0.0.209 dated 27 August 09. I tried installing the PCI-Express driver .0.4.0000 as they seemed to be the?appropriate drivers but windows reported them as older than the ones installed so I cancelled the installation.
Can anyone advise me on which is the right driver? There seem to be 3 different ones discounting the Beta ones on Creatives site. Creative auto update can't advise me as it's broken, I can't contact Creative directly because I don't have my serial number at hand, why don't they have a tool for checking serial numbers electronically? Non retail Sound Blaster owners have to strip their computers to find stickers on the circuit board as they didn't fit the card themselves!
Can someone also advise me if Alchemy and all?the sound utilities work with Windows 7 64-bit's when I select Windows 7 64-bit as the OS the download list removes everything but the drivers.

sorry for the questions, i did what u wrote but appear the same 5.

Several windows and grid questions

Hello, I have a couple of Swing related questions that follow:
Q 1)
Imagine I'm writing a basic GUI that has 2 "windows": the main window and the about box window. Basicly there's a JMenu with a JMenuItem that has an action that will set the about box visibility to true.
My question is: what's the most correct way to do this?
a) declare both windows in the Gui constructor, having the main window's visibility set to true and the about box window visibility set to false, changing that visibility inside a actinPerformed () method
b) declare the main window in the Gui constructor, and then creating the about box window inside the actionPerformed method, when the MenuItem is selected
c) other. please explain
Q 2)
Is there any way to automaticly draw a grid within a JFrame or does it have to be done with Graphics' drawRect, drawLine and so on?
Thanks in advance.

Q1: c, have a getter for the aboutBox and instanciate when needed (also possible with b). If the user never clicks the menuItem, why instanciate and clean up later?
Q2: DrawRect /line

Overlapping Windows and Panels Question

Hi, I have photoshop cs5 for the mac and I want to display 2 images of my project. I did this buy going to window>arrange>New Window For "project name" I want to be able to see one zoomed out and just have it displaying in the top corner. I position this new window on the top of my screen, but when I click on my "main" window, the new one just goes behind it and disappears.
My question is can I have my "main working window" tabbed in photoshop, while I have the smaller zoomed out duplicate window floating on top of it?
I would like for the smaller window to always be on top of my "main" working window of my project even while I have the "main" window selected. Is this possible on the mac version?
To solve this, I can make both of them floating windows and position them so that they do not overlap, but this takes up a lot of room on the screen.
I hope this description makes sense. Thanks in advance.

I have application frame turned on and it does not work. The navigator is ok, but its too small and you cannot edit in it like you can in another copy of the project.
I have seen photoshop work in the way I describe, but it was on Windows. Could this just not be possible with the mac os?
Thanks for the quick replies

HP 15-n086sl problems with windows and drivers amd

Hello to all,
I have a problem with my HP 15 - n086sl .
With native Windows 8 did not.
the problem is the following :
moving from windows 8 to 8.1 I lose the switch graphics cards.
I mean : if I click with the mouse on "configure switchable graphics cards " I get out of a window that says " Unable to start Catalyst Control Center. currently there are no other settings to configure with CCC"
I tried to update the drivers with the ones on the HP site for windows 8.1 , but nothing changes .
From " Device Manager " I noticed that the drivers you have installed AUTOMATIC moving from windows 8 to 8.1 are the same version as on the hp website .
[url=http://postimg.org/image/t3xa7aem3/][img]http://s17.postimg.org/t3xa7aem3/driv.jpg[/img][/url]
If I install the drivers from the AMD website I have the following problems :
the switch returns to work but hibernation no longer works and if the screen of the PC goes into standby by moving the mouse or pressing both buttons it never recovers . I have to turn off the computer by holding down the button.
I've done several searches for the web, even within the forum but have not found the solution.
Will you help me ?
Sorry for my English.

Sorry for the delay!
I am Italian and hp does not offer more support than this forum.
How should I do?

Apple Bluetooth Headset - Paring with Windows and Other Questions

Love my new Apple Bluetooth Headset, works great. My first one did have a problem with poor range but this one is a lot better. I've been wanting to use the headset as a mic. Windows XP finds the headset find but I can't tell if it's connecting or not. How do I tell the Headset what device to connect to? It's paired to my iPhone too so it picks up on my iPhone every time I try to connect.
Basically how do scroll through on the Headset what devices to connect to? Usually Bluetooth Headsets can be paired with multiple devices and you do certain button combinations to scroll through the paired devices.

unlike some of the sony ericssons, the apple headset can only be paired with one phone at a time. that doesn't stop you from repairing it when need be, however...

Is there way to install OS and drivers without recovery CD?

Hi...
I installed my notebook with the recovery cd...
but i get disappointed because it installed a lot of unusual programs...like aol, sonic-pro, games...
is that a way to install windows and drivers only ?? without this boring programs ???
i don't want to uninstall after instalation...it's not the same thing...

Hi
I cant understand user who bye a high performance notebook with many different features and then will not use this functions. Of course, on the Toshiba recovery CD you will find the OS and all Toshiba drivers and utilities. Without this drivers and tools and utilities you will be not able to use the additional Toshiba functions.
But as in the previous posting mentioned you can install the fresh Windows OS and then you can install the drivers. But the easiest way is to use the Tosh recovery CD and then if you want you can remove some applications.

<span class="postdetails">Windows Vista Drivers for 820 and 66
I hate to say this about E-MU but the way they are dealing with Vista Drivers is unprofessional. I am a repeat customer of Creative products and was so impressed by my old Platinum eX that I bought a second to run duals for tons of audio processing. That was back in the day. Then I jumpped ship and tried out an M-Audio Firewire 40. That did not last too long beforei was completely unimpressed. So I came back to Creative... Purchased a 820 in the box. So impressed I turned around and purchased a 66 in the box just 8 months later. Both ran smooth as butter... All until i just recently built my new system designed primarily with audio production in mind.
With a setup like this, who needs a mac?
AMD Athlon X2 x64 Dual Core +6000 3.0 Ghz
2 Gigs Corsair
Samsung SyncMaster 206BW 2" Wide Screen
EVGA NVidia 9700s 256 DDR3 Graphics
SATAs up the yin
and a PCIMIA to PCI Dock
All under Vista Ultimate OEM
And Guess what?
Months into RTM of Vista...
E-MU is caught pushing release dates.
Last month it said they would release beta drivers middle of April...
I waited, patiently I might add.
I waited<waited some more, I try running xp drivers... computer wont even try to install them properly.
My software waits, computer waits, turns into a gameing machine just because my all together 600 dollar investments in Creative are not important enough to leld me the drivers i need to be producti've in what i love.
I need x64 drivers stat. I need them working, I need them installable without a glitch, a hitch, no driver signing problems, no questions, no fuss no muss. I find it ironic that you guys at E-MU are willing to jump right in there and make sure to have drivers compatable for you new products, yet faithful advocats of the most powerful soundcards you have are sitting here dead in the water because you dont find it nessesary to place priority on ready and waiting end users who have purchased long term support buy investing large amounts of moola into hardware from your company.
Come on, its not like the 820 or the 66 are exactly legacy technology. We are talking about Hardware that is only two years old and should be usable for up to 6 years. This is deffinatly a strike against the company and just goes to show where Creative stands.
I have stood by waiting in silence for a very long time.
Now i think my time has come to tell how i feel and i believe there are alot of others out there that feel the same. the only items that do not work soothly are my E-MUs... go figure.
And I have been looking forward to all i can do running both of them side by side.
Oh yes, and that link posted above to the beta news for vista... its a joke. open up your betas, and have a real dev tell us what the hang ups are... At least give us real concreate reasons why it is taking so long.
with that said, when you guys get yoru act together and get me some drivers, I will sit happy as a lark.
My thoughts for today.

Hello Silas,
sorry for my bad english
I already checked that page. On the first time I was trying to install Vista on a clean hard drive. The installation process finishes without errors but after installation Vista shows me a lot of error messages, mostly about unknown hardware. So I installed all available drivers I have found on Toshiba web site. It not helped me too much, hardware problems still remains. I could not find out what exactly causes probles. Finally I decide to install XP and then upgrade to Vista. Now everything seems to be ok. :D
There was some hardware problems but much easier to resolve. It seems to me that Toshiba did not provide all the drivers, for example StarForce Protection drivers. Vista did not recognized this hardware on the first time.
Now it works!

Software and Drivers for an HP Scanjet 5590 with a 64 bit Windows 7 computer.

I thought that I had posted the following question but as I can't find it I will try again. I have been given a HP Scanjet 5590 scanner with no Software or Drivers for 64 bit Windows 7 computer and looking through the Web I saw some awful comments on the experiences of those using the software and drivers. I don’t want to make the same mistake so could anyone tell me how to go about obtain the correct software and drivers?

Corporal,
Here is the link for the software...
If you have the "p" model, backtrack a the link and reselect the proper model.
You want the "Full Feature" software.
Note that the download size is 315MB - plan accordingly if you have a slow connection...
While you are there, be sure to download the Print Doctor utiltity. (Do that first, it is tiny.) This may help later with installation and connection issues, if needed.)

NB 100 and Windows 7 - Searching step by step guide and drivers

Hello everybody,
im thinking about to install Windows7 on my nb 100. But I have some question.
1. How can I install the dvd version of windows 7 on my nb 100. Is this tool from Microsoft the right one?
http://store.microsoft.com/Help/ISO-Tool
2. Will the Recovery Cd of Windows will work, after I format the nb 100?
3. Where can I download the NB100 Windows 7 drivers ?
4. Is there maybe a step & step guide how to install windows 7 on nb 100?
I would be grateful if you could help me
Marco

Hi
1) You can install Win 7 using an Win 7 DVD or you can purchase an ISO file (image) and could create an bootable DVD or bootable USB flash drive.
The NB100 does not use an internal DVD drive. So if you would like to install Win 7 from DVD then you need to purchase an external USB CD/DVD drive. But you could also create an bootable USB flash drive and could install Win 7 from such external USB flash drive.
2) Yes, it will function. The recovery disk should set the notebook back to the same state like at the first day of purchase.
3) I think NB100 has not been created for Win 7 because this is a netbook.
Win 7 would not run fast enough of course you could install it but the Win 7 needs a lot of hardware power and recourses like Vista and I assume NB100 does not supports such devices powerful CPU or GPU.
4) I doubt such instruction exists. I mean the Win 7 drivers are not available for NB100. So how to make a installation guide without any Win 7 drivers??? But as mentioned above; you can install it using external drive. The Win 7 drivers have to be collected at your own hand.

TX1120US, Windows 7 RC and drivers that work

Is HP planning on offering Windows 7 drivers that work with the TX1120US Pavilion Laptop? I was recently warned that my Windows 7 Beta needed to be upgraded to Windows 7 RC (by Microsoft) and so.... I forged ahead. However, many of the devices on the TX1120US are not working? A big for instance, I tried to use my projector with the Windows 7 OS and the projector did not recognize any signal coming fromt the VGA port. Another is that I can't adjust the display from standard VGA!. Other items don't work either. I tried using Vista 32 drivers and the install program for the drivers stated that the OS (Windows 7) was not recongized. Help!
Thanks

I installed 7RC on my tx1120, and had similar problems, then today when I ran Windows Update there were two sets of drivers from Nvidia that clear up most of the problems I was having with drivers on the TX -- including the screen resolution problem you mentioned. There is still one driver missing -- (i.e. one "unknown device") I keep on getting the "dingdong" sound when a USB device is inserted -- I suspect a problem with USB drivers is causing this... however, it doesn't really interfere with my usage of the TX. The touch screen is working, to the extent that I've tried it, I never use the touch screen for entering text.
On another thread, I noticed an HP support person chime in that HP would offer an upgrade path when Microsoft releases 7 later this year.
