  • Windows 7 - Driver Availability Chart For Creative Products is nearly useless

    <span class="text">[url="http://support.creative.com/kb/showarticle.aspx?sid=605">Windows 7 - Driver Availability Chart For Creative Products[/url] is outdated Windows pre-release drivers (at least for the Audigy SB0090 series) back from July. This appear to be revamped Vista drivers that are not usable for W7 RTM. MS made changes to W7 where most Vista drivers do not work properly any more.
    When I try to install the drivers through the installer I get the incompatibility error and the installer quits, then I get the failed install pop-up for W7.
    What I would like to know is when Creative plans on releasing drivers that work with W7 RTM? Llinking drivers that worked for W7 RC is not helping and really should be removed.
    I have used Creative sound cards since just before the SB6 came out. I have been a loyal Creative customer from early on. But if Creative can not deali'ver a fully working driver suit for my sound card by the end of the month (November) I would appreciate knowing so I can start looking for another a replacement, which won't be a Creative product.
    Even though my last 3 MBs have had good built-in sound, I have went out and bought Creative sound cards because I wanted the best, which Creative has previously provided.
    I need to upgrade my MB so I have put of buying a new sound card until I do. But if I'm forced to buy a new sound card because Creative says it will provide drivers that work with W7 RTM and for what ever reason can not do so, I will not be buying another Creative product.
    I maintain 4 PCs of my own so that will be 4 cards bought from a competitor since Creative has completely dropped the ball. All major component manufacturers have been able to release stable drivers at the same time as W7 RTM release , or within days after release. Why hasn't Creative been able to do so? Creative was able to release suitable drivers for RC in a timely fashion, what happened with W7 RTM? Did they recently fire all the programs and techs?
    Please do not link useless info. Please find out what is going on and tell the powers-that-be at Creative they have some really upset customers and ask them to tell us what is happening here. Tell them we would like to know when Creative plans on releasing drivers for W7 RTM so we can make the decision to wait it out or buy replacements.

    Again, yes Device Manager has no problem detecting the card and W7 has no problem loading the default Window drivers for it.
    Since I had to replace my TV Tuner Card, I used Device Manager to remove it and my Audigy card and then shut the PC down. My new TV Tuner Card is a PCI-E x so I installed it in an open slot and move the Audigy to the PCI slot where the old TV Tuner Card was.
    When I started my PC again, W7 detected the Audigy card and loaded the defeult drivers. I again tried to use the installer and had the same error.
    The sound works, but I only have basic Windows functions/controls.
    It is most definately not a hardware issue.
    The online auto update detects it, just the installer does not detect it.
    I am currently awaiting a response from CS now. Of course the problem there is that you have to wait/respond, wait/respond, wait/respond just to cover the same ground that has been gone over a hundrd times already.
    I put every step I have done in the email. As usual, it was a waste to type because you are asked questions already answered and to preform steps already done.
    It would be nice if CS would realize that some of us are only contacting CS because we have already done all the standard steps without success and now need to move onto the advanced ste

    jp reddy

    Hi,
    assuming action.do is the action method of ....../folder1/abc.jpf you can try out this in the test1.jsp,
    function openNameHistory(url) {
    var args = "<%= request.getContextPath() %>/folder1/"+url;
         window.showModalDialog(args,'','dialogHeight:320px;dialogWidth:600px;scroll:yes;status:no');
    <netui:anchor href="javascript:openNameHistory('action.do')">Name History</netui:anchor>
    u need not specify the abc.jpf in the url because , workshop allows only one jpf per folder
    hope this helps...

  • IPod Nano, Windows, and USB driver quirkiness question

    Hey all,
    I recently helped someone who was suffering from two separate, show-stopping iPod/iTunes problems to get things into such a state that they could actually make use of both. Things seem to be working fine, though one of our solutions seems to me to be a bit less than optimal.
    For the sake of providing as much information as possible, the first problem (though likely unrelated) was the infamous vanishing iTunes installation. We solved this by using the ctrl-alt-delete trick on an iTunes 4.9 installation (that is, by ending all of the install processes when the installation-ending error message shows up.) Okay, that's not the best solution, but it seems to be all that we can do for now.
    The main concern, however, is with the iPod USB driver, and a problem that began with the formatting of the iPod. I can see that at least a few people have had this problem, but here it is for the sake of it:
    The iPod installation software would state that the iPod needed to be formated, and then proceed to sit for a very long time, "waiting for iPod," until it would eventually fail. We solved this using the second technique (uninstalling the iPod USB driver) outlined by Paul Green7 in this thread: William Brame, "Initial formatting of iPod Nano", 02:49pm Sep 22, 2005 CDT
    After doing this, we ran the iPod setup software again, and it told us that the iPod didn't need to be formatted. Obviously this was rather confusing, but upon loading up iTunes, it proved to be true. It appeared as an actual drive in My Computer, and it showed up properly as a 4gb iPod which songs could be copied to without a hitch.
    That is, until the computer was rebooted. After a reboot, the iPod would only be recognized once again as a "USB Mass Storage Device," would not appear in My Computer, and indeed iTunes failed to recognize it as anything other than a 360gb storage device of some unknown sort.
    So, what we found was that every time the computer was rebooted, the driver needed to be uninstalled again, and when Windows booted again the iPod would be properly recognized.
    Now, as I said, this leaves things in a working, if far less than ideal, state. Can anyone think of a more proper fix for this? It seems to me that we've only partially addressed the problem here, and I can't help but think that this may not be the best state to leave things in.
    Also, if nothing else, is there any possibility of ill effects resulting from our currently-employed solution? As far as I can tell, the worst thing about it is that it's merely bothersome, but then, I've had difficult understanding these problems in the first place.
    That said, if anyone can offer any advice, it would be greatly appreciated!

    The key to your problem is more than likely the 360GB storage device. This is a symptom of having either network drives or an external hard drive attached to your computer, and Windows confusing them with the iPod. The solution is to reassign the iPod's drive letter. See this:

  • Windows 7 x64 driver installiation failure for 621...

    Hi,
    I've just installed PC Suite (freshly downloaded) on my Win7 x64 system and it will not install the drivers for my Nokia Navigator 6210.
    It just says driver installiation failure when i try to install it. I've tried restarting my PC and phone. I've been into device manager andunder wireless communication devices it has nokia 6210 navigator USB phone parent with an exclamation mark next to it and the device status says "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"
    ive tried uninstalling the drivers from the device manager window and installing from windows update, which does install drivers, instructs my to restart my PC and after i do it shows the same error in Device manager again.
    PC Suite says i have a 32 bit system but the only version of PC Suite i found was a x86 and x64 bit combined package.
    Here is some info about my system;

    What version of PC Suite is installed? 7.1.40.1

    Hi austempest
    I just tried a quick check at the Windows 7 Compatibility Center  (http://bit.ly/4uZDu2 ) for “PC Suite,” and the search came back that the Sony Ericksson PC Suite isn’t compatible.  There was no tangible return for “Nokia PC Suite,” but I’m beginning to think that perhaps you could try either installing the entire Suite in compatibility mode, or at least try installing the driver in compatibility mode.
    Here are a couple of procedures:

  • ACS 3.2 for Windows and Windows Active Directory.

    I'm using a member W2K server to run ACS 3.2.
    I'm using ACS and Windows group mapping but my users always go into default group.
    Why?
    Thanks.
    Andrea.

    I'm assuming your ACS \DEFAULT domain has NT Groups mapped to . Use a new Domain Configuration to add your AD and group mappings.
    The group name in ACS must match exactly the same group in AD. ie. If your AD group name is "Engineering" , create a ACS group with exactly the same spelling. Also,avoid certain characters such as @#%&*() in the naming of groups, both in AD and ACS.
    Hope this helps. let us know.

  • Since upgrade when I am in Google Finance and look at stock quote, and hit to see chart for say six months, it now opens a blank web page. this did not happen before the most recent upgrade? How fix? Explorer will still provide the chart.

    Just go to google finance and get a stock quote on any stock and then the price comes up and you can choose to see the price history of different time periods, 1, 5, day one week, one month, etc. In the past when you hit the button for one of the charts, it would just change the chart on the same page, now it opens a new page that is blank?

        I can see that this issue has been quite extensive, and frustrating, and I am so sorry for all that has happened societygirl! I would like to help you work this issue out. Please follow & send me a Direct Message, so I can get your account specifics and help finally bring this to a resolution.

  • My MacBook's Fan and Optic Drive turns on for a few seconds when in Sleep

    I usually just put my MacBook in "Sleep" mode when I am not using it. But, when I do the MacBook every few minutes wakes up. The monitor turns on, the fans fires up and the drive go into eject mode and then it sleeps again. What is doing this and how can I fix it.
    MacBook, G4 iBook, eMac, G5 PowerMac   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    I figured out this is because of a flaw in the Macbook. The Bluetooth going in and out. I turned off the bluetooth when ever the Macbook recognizes it again, problem solved for now. Is Mac ever going to fix this hadware issue???

  • Is Photoshop only available as a "creative cloud" product now?

    Sorry, I am a newbie. I had thought that you could still purchase Photoshop as a discrete downloaded software application. Is that no longer the case? I can't see where on the site one would do that. Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

    Photoshop CC (the current version) is only available via subscription as a Creative Cloud product.
    Photoshop CS6 (the version before CC and the last perpetually licensed version) is still available for purchase from Adobe

  • Physical Media for Creative Cloud Products

    Hello
    How can I obtain physical media (DVD/Blu-ray) for Creative Suite or CS 5.5 products please ?
    I live in a rural area where download would take perhaps days.
    Thanks in advance for youe help.
    Best regards
    Steven Lynch

    No way. Downloads is all you ever get. I'm sure you can take a drive to the city and sit down in a suitably equipped Cafe or share a friend's office and then put the downloaded installers on an USB stick.
