X-Fi Extreme Audio PCIe Driver doenst work with Vista - HD Audio Device is installed automati

Hey,
after trying for hours this forum is my last hope. For about a year my PC worked more or less fine with Vista Business und the Soundblaster Extreme Audio PCIe (if you ignore the not working line in).
But today the driver vanished for no reason. Instead of the Creative Driver an Vista HD Audio Device was installed. I still got sound but the overall sound quality got really bad.
So i tried reinstalling the Soundcard using the Driver CD. There were no error messages but after a reboot there was still the HD
Audio Device. I downloaded the new driver from the creative HP: Same effect. I tried updating the HD Device, i tried deleting the Device. I even tried deleteing the the internal Driverfiles but after that I just got the problem that I had no audio device at all.
I don't think the card is broken because i get sound using the HD Driver.
Has anyone any idea what i can do to fix this

Funny fact: Today, after a reboot, the card worked again... Dunno why... But it does...

I have a MDD dual 1.25ghz processors and I would like to know which sata drives will work with the Sonnet Seria ATA pci card?

Which sata drives will work with the Sonnet Tempo Serial ATA card?

Pretty much any of the SATA 3.0 Gbps drives.
Western Digital Black and Blue and Hitachi 7K drives are all good choices.
If you try a SATA 6.0 Gbps drive, it will need to be jumped to limit to SATA 3.0 Gbps.

Downloading XP driver to work with Vi

Which XP driver do I have to download in order to get my Zen Micro to work with Vista? Is it the one that says Creative ZEN and Jukebox Driver 2.0.00 (.86 MB) 8 Oct 06?

You need the Creative Zen Micro PlaysForSure Firmware update 2.2.02 (2.32 MB)
You must do this installation on an XP machine with Service Pack 2 and Windows Media Player 0.
Once the PlaysForSure firmware is installed, Vista should recognize it nati'vely.
Be sure to read the instructions in the Show Details pop-up.
IMPORTANT:
? Be sure to back up all the audio and data files on your Zen Micro before installing this firmware update as all content will be lost when you install the new firmware. After installing the firmware, use Windows Media? Player 0 to restore audio and/or data files to your player.
? This firmware will currently ONLY work on Windows XP or Windows XP Professional x64.
? Installation of this firmware may take up to 5 minutes, and your device may reboot a number of times during installation.
? Software updates are required if you want to use any currently installed applications like Creative MediaSource?, Zen Media Explorer, or other track management tools with your player.

There seems to be a problem, just now, with the USB 3 ports on the new MBP's supporting eternal USB 3 drives. Some people have no luck at all - can't even recognize the drive - and some are reporting USB 2 speeds (those who drives are recognized). I'd call a dealer such as LaCie or OWC to see if they have USB 3 drives that actually work with MBP's with USB 3 ports. You may have to wait for a software/firmware update.

Am using 2007 iMac running 10.4.11. Do not wish to upgrade now. Where can I find an external hard drive to work with it? Also need a printer?

I'm using a 20" iMac that I purchased in 2007. It's running OS 10.4.11, and still doing beautifully. But I've got to get serious about upgrading and I don't want to lose the material that's on it.   Purchased an external hard drive about two years ago, copied everything I wanted at that time on to it. When I tried using the h.d. a few days ago it was garbled. Now I see that inside the box it says that it requires OS 10.5+.   Anyone know if there's still a new hard drive out there that would work with 10.4.11?   Can't even find thumb drives to work with my system anymore.   Any ideas would be appreciated.

If I were you I would bite the bullet and upgrade to Snow Leopard. You will still be able to use AppleWorks by installing the Rosetta emulator included in Snow Leopard. And, it's a much better OS version than Tiger.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

Why won't my secure thumb drive (FAT32) work with os lion?

Why won't my secure thumb drive (FAT32) work with os lion? I have used it ok with older mac operating systems. When the thumb drive is inserted in the usb port, an error message appears stating that the disk was not ejected properly. It shows as readonly in Finder. When I try to eject it, the spinning wheel appears and I have to relaunch finder.

Making the WMB54G work with Vista (Service Pack 1) - it does work.

I posted this in response to a thread, thought it could use its own topic.
There is hope and potential success for Vista users!   I got the WMB54G 2 days ago. I spent 6 hours with it and nearly threw the product AND my computer out the window the first night. I scoured this forum for the past two days, and by putting pieces together from various threads, I'm now using the Music Bridge successfully with my 1 month old Dell XPS M1530 with Vista Home Ultimate with Service pack 1.  Once I had my gameplan, it worked perfectly the first time I tried the new approach. I will try to write a step by step process of what I did in the next few days but for now.....
1. Throw out the installation CD that comes with the music bridge (its useless for Vista).... I'm kidding, but you get the point.
2. You HAVE to dowload the Vista compatible installation utility and Firmware upgrade from the Linksys forum - I don't have the link right now, but its here in this forum.
3. Run the Vista driver setup to install the Musicbridge utility - the "Install utility" link at the bottom of the setup screen, but DO NOT try to configure the router since you'll just have to do it again later.
4. Run the firmware upgrade for the router (it behaves exactly like the setup utility, but instead of configuring the hardware for use, it upgrades the fimware)
5. Run the Vista driver setup to configure the router (only after the firmware upgrade).   I didn't have to do anything outside of the auto setup. i'm using a Linksys wireless G router as well, and it connected with 64 Bit WEP encryption no problem once i entered my encryption passphrase.
6. Open up MSCONFIG and disable the CMFLYWAVE Application on Startup
7. In your Program Files directory, find \Linksys\wmb54g\wmb54g.exe, \Linksys\wmb54g\driver\cmas2ds.exe, and \Linksys\wmb54g\driver\cmflywav.exe - For all three files, right click and go to Properties\compatability.   Check the "Run this program in compatability mode for:"   pick XP with SP 2.
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE PEOPLE WHO POSTED THAT LAST BIT!!!!
8. I'd suggest restarting the computer now.
9. You might get a "WMB54G.exe has stopped running error" on restart... that's ok
10. Start the following files in this order:
cmas2ds.exe
cmflywav.exe
wmb54g.exe
11. The utility should start, and then you can connect to the bridge via the system tray icon. - you might have to also set the default audio device to the Music Bridge by right clicking your system tray speaker icon
12. Uncheck the "Start the Music Bridge when I start Windows" option in the utility screen - and execute the three files in step 10 each time you restart.
I hope this works for you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I finally got my WMB54G to work with Vista SR1. It took me 4 hours of struggling to figure it out though.
What I did was:
1. Download the latest utility and firmware from the linksys support site.
2. To set up the device, preferably use http://192.168.1.210. There are http setup instructions on the linksys customer service site. Alternately, you can use the setup wizard on the CD but I would recommend avoiding it if you can. If you do use the setup CD and it installs the WMB54G utility, promptly uninstall the utility afterwords and restart the computer.
3. Update the firmware to v.2.18 by using http://192.168.1.210 and going to the HELP tab
4. Install the latest utility from the support site but do not run the main setup. Simply run setup.exe in the utility folder AND GIVE IT PLENTY OF TIME. Walk Away and let the installer finish and close. Then do the thing people discovered -- edit the properties of C:\Program Files\Linksys\WMB54G.exe and make sure it is set for running in XP compatability mode.
5. Restart the computer
Mine started working fine after I did all of this -- the WMB54G came up automatically and found the device. Keep in mind I do not have WEP or anything -- just unsecured wireless.
Good luck.
Mike

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

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.)

Adobe Photoshop 6.0 - will it work with Vista?

Hey there -
I bought Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc in 2001 (I don't know if that is relevant or not), and have Photoshop 6.0, for example.
My laptop with Windows XP is dying very soon. I may be forced to get a computer that has Vista.
Will my software work with Vista?
I appreciate you help!

I sent myself an email back when I upgraded to Vista, I just looked back and found the email. It had some links in it (which are no longer good), but there was some useful information and troubleshooting guides on there on how to get various older versions to work on Vista machines. I was thinking there was a "trick" on there about setting the date back on the computer or something while reinstalling Illustrator in order to get it to work. I have AI 10 at home as well, but I have not yet installed it on the Vista Machine as I got CS3 and use it on my XP machine just fine.
If I were you I would hold off as long as you can, like Marian said, and maybe by then CS5 will be out too.

I purchased Photoshop CS5 for my windows vista operating system. I purchased a canon 7 D some yrs ago no problem. I purchased canon 7D mk 11 in December 2014. The supplied software will not work with vista. Photoshop CS5 will not accept canon7D mk11. Can someone please tell me how i process canon 7D mk11 photos ?????. (is it possible to bypass camera raw and open the photo straight into CS5 without using camera raw first. if so how do i do that. if not how do i process pictures).
Thank you.
Brian in the UK.

Photoshop by itself cannot process raw image data. That is why the Camera Raw plug-in was developed. You could try the DNG converter and convert your images to the DNG format and then the Camera Raw that you have would be able to open them. I can't recommend Lightroom because you are using Vista, and Lightroom 5 cannot be used with that operating system. It may be time for you to get a new computer and upgrade your software.

Zire72 is not working with vista. help me please.

I love my palm because IT WAS SIMPLE TO USE AND SYNC. As bad as the economy is I hate to have just wasted $300.00 on a palm that I cannot get to work. . I have wasted alot of time reading and calling and installing and it still doesn't work. After about 8 hours today I got the desktop to download. No wonder palm is going under. Help me please !!!!!!!

I´m a student, working with CS3 indesign, it won´t install again completely

I´m a student, working with indesign CS3- it won´t
install again completely and all other adobe programs are not willing
to work (f.e. reader). What can I do?

Hi Mylenium
     After updating the adobe license didn´t work any longer for the
second time, since I bought. First time CS3 cleaning tool was the
solution. But this time it is not possible just to open the
CS3cleaning tool document(PDF)- not with adobe reader, also not with
foxit for example. I removed all adobe stuff to install again, but
installation doesn´t work for the important components- photoshop
etc. At first also adobe reader didn´t work (System told me, to
install photoshop before:-) But after some deinstallation and
reinstallation now just the new downloaded adobe reader X happily
works again. Only solution to reinstall the whole system?? (medion
professional PC, windows vista 5,0 - 2 GB, 32 Bit)
     Thank you for help
