X-Fi 5.1 not working under vista

Here I am stuck with a 2. sound system. I own a nice set of 5. speakers and this supposedly high quality X-fi card. Turns out this card is nothing but crap. It took me 3 months to get some patched up configuration to make my bass speaker finally work. I am so angry about this since I listen to music about 8 hours a day as this is my work station. The music is key to my vitality while at the computer. I curse creative labs every morning for dropping the ball. I would spend anything at this point for another card. Anyone know of a good alturnati've ? I would love to purchase a card that works and smash this X-fi crap into a million parts ( office space style )

You should have done some research before upgrading to Vista if sound is so important to you. Discussion of competitors cards are not allowed here but there are a few out there that have Vista drivers...and many that still don't. 5. should work in Vista just fine as I, and many others have it working. Sounds like something got screwed up during the install or you don't have something configured right. What exactly are you saying doesn't work about 5.
Are you able to select 5. as a configuration in the control panel? If so when you test the speakers do they all work?

Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter not working under Vista (Boot Camp).

Hi there,
I'm facing a very serious issue with MacBook Pro Unibody running MS Vista under Boot Camp: using the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter to hook a projector is 95% impossible because the only resolution available is 640x480 or sometimes 800x600. No solution came from the adaptor firmware update, still same behavior: connecting the external projector/monitor toggles 640x480 resolution with no more choices available. Just 5% of attempts on selected projectors gave me access to the complete resolutions list.
This is having a serious impact on my job where I do need both Mac&Windows running natively and with external display capabilities, please I'm looking for some feedback from users facing the same problem or someone who had an official answer on this issue from Apple. Do avoid posting about using modded display drivers please: I know they exist but the adaptor should be working with original ones.
I can understand Apple does not support MS Vista issues but this seems to be a hardware/driver one.
I'd like to point out I'm using a clean Vista installation with Apple drivers (from the Leopard DVD) and I've run Vista (same version, same gfx drivers etc) under Boot Camp on my previous MPB (with integrated DVI output+adapter) on hundreds of different projectors with never a single problem.
Any feedback is really appreciated.

I'm having the same problem. When I try to connect to the switch in our conference room (connecting both a flat panel display and/or a projector, both with much higher native resolutions), all I get is 640x480. This is a huge problem to using bootcamp, and I really need to get this to work. I was able to get a higher resolution 1280x800 on a separate, portable display, so I'm wondering if people have the problem with standalone projectors or only with projectors connected to some sort of switch, in my case an Extron MPX423A. I have also tried this in both Windows Vista (32-bit) and Windows 7 RC1 (32-bit), with the bootcamp drivers and the latest NVidia drivers, and the behavior is the same all around.

3.01 patch not working under Vista 64 SP1 ?

Hi,
Under Vista64 SP1; launching "Audition 3.0.1 Patch Setup.exe" shows a first dialog box for language selection... after clicking "OK" nothing happens.
Launching "instmsiw.exe" brings up a dialog box which displays "Wrong OS or OS version for application"
Launching "components.msi" starts the installation, but stops with a message "The wizard was interupted before Adobe Audition 3.01 Patch could be completely installed"
Any advice ?
Markus

I followed your instruction, and still get the "INTERRUPTED" dialog box. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

The video out is NOT WORKING under 10.5.2

*APPLE please read this;*
The video out on the MacBook Pro is NOT WORKING under 10.5.2, or precisely is working with a possibility of 10%! Monitors doesn't find signal in, or when they find it, the image is unstable with green shadows.
_I tried 28 external monitor in a store and only ONE was working normally!_ I tried with all the cables combinations (DVI->DVI or DVI->ANALOG, with several different brand cables).
Before the 10.5 update, I didn't have any problem with external Monitor.
The point is that I have installed in the same computer (MAC BOOK PRO) also WINDOWS VISTA, and all the monitors that are not working with MAC OS are working perfectly under VISTA system.
I made a long research online and I found out that thousands of users have the same problem, but no one receive an answer from APPLE from several months!
This is not the only problem that I have under MAC OS 10.5, but them, are other topics.
_Please at least resolve this MAJOR problem that I and thousands of other users have with video out._
Thank you.

Video out under 10.5.2 works fine for me and for a colleague of mine with a more recent MacBook Pro. I'd wager it's a problem with your Leopard install, not a universal one.
Also, FYI, Apple doesn't read these forums; they're just for user-to-user help. If you want to leave MacBook Pro feedback for Apple, do so here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html
But again, I do not believe yours is a universal issue. We'll be happy to help troubleshoot though. What do you mean the image is "unstable"? Could you take a digital photograph of the external monitor's screen and upload it somewhere?

Is Apple USB Fax Modem working under Vista

Hi I need to send out Fax's from my mini, I like to buy Apple USB Modem.
Will it work under Vista (is there drivers for it)?
Thx for the help

I'm unable to get the USB external modem working on boot camp with Windows XP. Spent a long time on the phone with Microsoft technical support staff and my ISP's technical support staff over the past 2 or 3 days. Still not working. Their conclusion is that Windows does not work well on Apple (could be finger pointing). Apple tech support told me they could not provide support for Windows (total cop out) on Boot camp.
I've ordered a US Robotics USB modem that is compatible with both Mac and Windows. Won't have it for 2 weeks. If you find any answers, please pass on to me.

Flash player does not work under one user account.

Flash player does not work under one of my user accounts.
My system: I work with a mac mini with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
What I have done:
I installed the flash player maybe one year ago under my "first" user account. At that time this user account had had administrator authorization. In the meantime I had to change this "first" user account in an account without administrator authorization and created an administrator user with which I installed different programms. Lately, the message came up that it would be necessary to update the flash player. I did it; under the "first" user account, but of course with the administrator's password for installing. The installation had been "successful" - so I was told. But it did not run. I tried it again and again. Each time with "deinstallation" first. No way; it did not work.
After asking Adobe for the reason of the problem, they suggested to install the programm directly under the administrator user. I did that (of course after deinstalling under the "first" user account) with the result, that flash player runs under my administrator and my "second" user account, but not under the first user account. There I am always told to update my flash player.
With this result, I talked to Adobe. So they told me to contact the producer of the operating software, since this would be a mistake of the operating software.
And here I am - full of hope to get help from you.
Thanks for reading. And thanks in advance for helping me.

Any update to provide at all here guys? Again, in my situation, it's very much rights-related as a standard user doesn't even report that the flash player exists when testing it on the Adobe Flash Version Detection website (despite it showing up in Control Panel and under Add/Remove Programs). I've already tried giving the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed and files/subfolders appropriate permissions for the standard user and still nothing. If I either give the user in question full local admin rights or logon as the domain admin, then the Adobe Flash Version Detection website says Flash is installed and Flash works fine.
Thoughts???

Itunes not working with Vista Home Premium 32-bit

Itumes 10.6.3 version will not work with Vista Home Premium. I have a 32-bit operating system. I'm not sure what to do next. It appears in trying to update it deleted the old itumes, as I can't find a copy of it when I search the computer.

Then I installed Quicktime on its own - still get the same error 'Quicktime has stopped working;
Okay. That will be the source of the iTunes problem. (Without a properly working QuickTime, iTunes won't work correctly.)
Checking on things that can cause QuickTime launch errors now.
Have you at any stage installed any Codec Packs, any copies of the programs QT Alternative, QT Lite or Storm Codec, or any media converter programs that can convert files into QuickTime readable formats?
(I'm checking on these things because depending on the versions of the programs/codec-packs, these can install earlier versions of QuickTime componentry on a PC, which can interfere with the running of a higher version of QuickTime.)

X-Fi Audio - Subwoofer NOT working in Vista 32-bit Ultimate!

<X-Fi Audio - Subwoofer NOT working in Vista 32-bit Ultimate!I I have WIndows Vista 32-bit Ultimate and Sound Blaster X-Fi Audio installed and with the factory drivers (I tried another set earlier and they did not work, so I reinstalled the original drivers which worked, at least partially). Until now I only listened to music using my headphones, but I tried today to plug-in my 5. Genius system (50W RMS) and everything works fine EXCEPT the subwoofer does not produce any sound at all!! The ONLY way to make it work is go to Control Panel -> Sound -> Speakers -> press Configure and then click the Test button in the dialog that appears (or click the subwoofer icon to make it produce a very nice bass sound - which I absolutely love, but it's the only way to make my subwoofer work!!!). Please guys, help me find out what the problem is. All help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you my friend,I have done as you have mentioned (made sure the DLL did not stay there when I rebooted before I installed your version), and now I have the version which you have built. However, I am still unable to hear the subwoofer I am so sad... even my default on-board card supports the 5. just great, and I love the sound of that, but I was hoping for something better from Creative - instead, all I got was a soundcard I can only use with my headphones at the moment because of a faulty driver...
Did you enable Bass Redirection?
Run Console Launcher, click on Speakers and Headphone -> choose 5. Speakers.
Then click on Bass (Bass Management) and enable Bass Redirection.

Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard RF-BTKB2 not working under Windows 7 64 bit

Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard RF-BTKB2 not working under Windows 7 64 bit
Anyone had successs in this or another Bluetooth Keyboard after a bit of a struggle? What did you do to get it working? When I Add Device in Bluetooth it sees the keyboard but enlessly scans for it when I try to select and connect. The Rocketfish Bluetooth mouse worked just fine.

My friend, i have both, the bluetooth mouse and keyboard here that your talking about. and the keyboard was a struggle to pair with the windows 7 64 bit.... i think i spent 2 days working with it. and i didnt try anything special, i just kept trying to pair
it, and unplugging the dongle and working with it... and after a while. it worked... Lately though, i have been looking into getting a wired mouse and keyboard becuase of the delays and sleep time i have with my current keyboard(rocketfish). supposidly there
is a way around the delays but it disables all the options on your keyboard. IE the media buttons, and web browsing features. and my mouse keeps dieing off too....
Also, after researching these products more, i found that alot of people experienced similar problems with them, Being delays and mouse failure. Even with fresh batteries and all. The products werent meant to be used long term(2-3 years) for extensive use...
I dont know about you but i thinki paid 100 bucks for the pair so thats only 25 bucks a year... Which is kinda silly considering i coulda got a better one that wont cough up on me.
If anyone reading this finds a good wireless keyboard that doesnt delay, and a mouth that doesnt delay...(my biggest concern). Please mention it. i am very interested in.

If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.

Tomcat 4.1.x not working under JDK 1.2.2

We are trying to test our web application on all versions of JDK starting from 1.2.2. We use Tomcat as the servlet engine and after upgrading from Tomcat 3.2.x to 4.1.24 (we've tried 4.1.18 as well) we have noticed that the new Tomcat does not start under JDK 1.2.2, see command line output below. We've tried on several machines and it fails with the same Exception. Has anyone tried running Tomcat 4.x on JDK 1.2.x? We find it hard to believe that a product like Tomcat would fail to support JDK 1.2, so any information would be appreciated.

I had the same problem.
No Tomcat 4.1.x is not working under JDK1.2.2.
It has something to do with a difference in byte code of the classes between jdk1.2.2 and jdk 1.4.

Dreamweaver CS4 not working under MacOS 10.9

on starting DW CS4 it asks for Java Runtime engine 6, but Mavericks has Java v.7 installed. Since Java 6 was part of the OS of previous systems, I cannot install it seperately, besides it would probably cause conflicts with OS 10.9. Do I have to trash my DW, or is there a workaround.
Thanx

If I follow click the instal button on
I get the progress bar for about 1 sec and then the message about a supposed
network problem
which is unreal, since my network works perfectly for any other task and I
had even tried disabling the firewall and little snitch. Things are still
not working

Message.saver is not working under 10.6 - anybody know of an alternative?

Message.saver 1.5.2 (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/message.html ) is not working under 10.6. It is a screensaver that allows you to put a text on the screen as the saver kicks in. IMHO a excellent piece of software that worked fine under 10.5 but not under 10.6.
Does anybody know if there is something like it? and that works under 10.6?
Thanks.

Wish I would have known Quicken 2007 would not work under Lion OS. I had no reason to believe it wouldn't. Any ideas for me?

I switched to Essentials while using Snow Leopard in anticipation. Data conversion was pretty good. Nothing critical was lost, but I did have to reassign some budget catergories for past transactions. It was a good opportunity for some cleaning up that I should have done anyway. They have a 60-day return policy on the Quicken web site which was key to my purchase decision.
I am not affiliated with Quicken in any way other than as a customer. I'd have preferred it if they had updated 2007 but they didn't!

Get Flash Player to work under Vista

Using Internet Explorer, I am trying to get Flash Player 10 to work under Vista 32 bit. When I go to youtube.com, their greeting says "Hello, you either have JaveScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player." Looking at the 'Programs and features' on the Control Panel, it shows 'Adobe Flash Player 10 activeX' is installed. In the Internet options, the security level is Medium-High. I tried to change this to medium but the sytem keeps reverting to Medium-High and in the scripting area, Active Scripting is set to enable. Can someone please tell me what I need do to get Flash player to work on my system.

Anyone here get an answer yet? Suddenly I'm getting those same messages that I either don't have javascript enabled (I do) or I need to get the latest version of Flash Player. But the latest version isn't for Windows 64. So what am I supposed to do, and what happened to cause this?
