Windows not detecting X-FI Fatality, does the I/O drive have to be install

Hi. Just received my Fatality card and have installed it but the new hardware is not being detected.
I have uninstaleld my previous audigy 4, when I restarted my comp the add new hardware waizard popped up but I cancelled it as I didnt want to install the audigy 4 again. I turned my comp off.
I installed the X-FI, booted up into windows, nothing. Restarted, nothing. Removed the card, tried a second pci slot, got a nice thunk when the card was inserted, booted up comp into windows, still nothing. No sound, no new hardware. Just the desktop.
I really dont want to install the i/o dri've that came with it for 2 reasons
. I dont need it and wont use it.
2. I dont feel technical enough to do it.
Is the card dead or does the dri've need to be instaleld too?

The I/O bay isnt needed for the card to function, you just lose some connectors if you don't use the bay is all. Did you do a complete uninstall of the A4 card? You might want to give this a read http://ask.americas.creative.com/wwe...tall_audio.htm to see if you missed something. Its always possible you got a defecti've card. Do you have another box you can try the card in, that would be the fastest way to tell if your card is defecti've. Just an FYI in case you didnt know, you do not have to connect pwr to the card, only to the bay if you use it.

  • Does the 160GB & Hard drives have 16mb or 8mb cache?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm planning on buying a Mac Pro tommorrow with either a 160Gb or 250gb. Does anyone know if they are 16mb or 8mb cache?
    Ideally i would like to buy a config with 160GB and then I will buy another 160GB and run them both in a raid config with Windows XP. I have an extra 320GB barracuda that i would like to use just for OS X. Does this sound like a good plan?
    Any advice is appreciated,
    Thanks

    One of the differences of the RE/RE2 is the desktop
    Caviar will try harder and longer if there is an I/O
    error, which would foul up a RAID.
    True, but for RAID-0 (which doesn't attempt any error recovery) it would still be beneficial. The main difference between desktop and nearline SATA drives is reliability, which makes RAID-0 a risk worth taking, depending on your circumstances.
    The 600k hours (or so) MTBF for desktop drives is given for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week light single user duty, while the 1.2M hours MTBF of the RE2, Barracuda ES, MaxLine... are for 24x7 light to medium duty. (High duty cycle is still reserved for SCSI drives, apparently.)
    I was about to ask about the model numbers of the drives Apple ship with the Mac Pro, but from the discussions here it seems they're desktop drives. Hence I'll stick to my plan to order the Mac Pro with a 160GB drive and get two 500GB RE2 drives for a RAID-0 single volume config. I may add another 500GB drive for D2D backup (esp. in view of Leopard

  • How to detect the HTML extension window close in In-design? Does the In-design throws any event on opening/closing of extensions?

    How to detect the HTML extension window close in In-design? Does the In-design throws any event on opening/closing of extensions?
    I have a HTML extension running in In-design CC 2014 version.
    I want to perform some required set of actions before my extension window is closed(by clicking on the cross button on top right corner).
    Does In-design throws any event for it? Or can we capture it using C++ plugin in some way?

    Naah.......haven't got any event for that yet.
    Although, since HTML extensions are using chromium browser,  as a workaround, u can attach listener to HTML onClose event, but it won't solve any purpose if you
    are looking to logout session or do some business login in your code.

    Not sure what CCS has that you’re referring to, but TCS5 is out and can be installed via subscription or downloaded installer.

    "CCleaner" is a scam and it may well have corrupted the operating the system. Get rid of it according to the developer's instructions, then see below.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

    I have been noticing that when using the computer the mouse keeps going in places where I really do not want and just now select the sentence without I have done anything. Sometimes goes to places like bookmark or open tabs in website when I am reading a page.
    Also I have noticed opened windows that I have not opened.
    I have verified the sharing folder and also the remote access but it not let me turn it off.
    Also I have add a password to my computer and even using the same one it looks like is not working.
    The I photo stopped working, Mac Mail does not let me add rules (this is from one day to the other)
    The computer is mine, the internet I use is payed by me with a password. I did not give permission to anyone to use my computer or share my files.
    In system preferences in the sharing folder is showing everyone and staff.
    My computer is private I do not own a company and I do not have a network set up in my house.
    I had my photos removed from my computer and even after trying to reinstall I photo and fix the Mac Mail is not working.
    I am receiving emails saying that I have sent emails to people that I do not know and including in a time where I am working and not using the computer.
    Any suggestions in how to fix this issue?
    I really appreciate.

    With the multitude of issues you have I would take it to an Apple store or AASP and have them sort it out. Then I would sign up for Apple camp or one on one.

  • Does the new mac mini have Hdmi 1.4?

    I'm thinking about buying a Mac mini in combination with a 3D monitor but every where on the Internet they are talking about HDMI 1.4a or something like that... Is it necessary? And does the Mac mini (2012) have it?

    Not certain, but it says here that 1.4 does not support 3-D, that 1.4a is needed...

    Not the MBP-R's, you can't even change the RAM or storage in them.
    The other 15" MBP's you can and they include the Superdrive built in.

    i can't import any photos. 'Could not copy to requested location' is the given but i have tried importing to both hard drive and external drive. Help please ?

    Most likely, the "requested location" where you are trying to copy files to does not have WRITE permission, and so you need to change the permissions.
