X-Fi Extreme Music, 4Gb RAM, Window X

Hi! Can anyone tell me will this combination work? I've heard there are some issues with 4 Gb RAM systems, so please let me know.
It's VERY important, please!

Ok let me explain;
These problems happens almost 3 years. When I installed first, working good. But when you release new drivers-softwares problems started. I did try every driver, but sometimes can't find soundcard or the other problems that I wrote. And last time; I did download driver sweeper. I did remove everything, than opened safe mode, removed everything about creative with Driver Sweper. Than opened XP again and with Advanced System Optimize, I did clean everything...
Anyway installed firstly SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_8_003.exe from web site (and restarted PC), than installed softwares from original CD.
nothing changed. I've the same problems. If I install your last driver (SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_8_005.exe)
can't find soundcard.
soundcard is working. It can encode dolby & dts files. But headphone detection is not working. I have to change manually - 5. to Headphone. I did search on google, and couldn't find anything to solve this problem. And looks I'm not alone with this problem. Mono wav files plays as an ac3 file.
So what is the problem with drivers. Why alyways have problems with new drivers. What is the best method to install, I did try everything. Also changed PCI slot.
And a suggestion; you have to release a new software to remove everthing about soundcard (drivers-softwares). May be a clenaer.

X-Fi Extreme Music || when installing drivers for windows vista 32 bits, error mess

I get an error message when I install windows vista 32bits drivers for my X-Fi Extreme Music... it says, error while installing, can't find a compatible product on your system, verify if it has been corectly installed ... BUT INSTALLING I JUST WHAT I WANNA DO ! WTF?
all other software for hardware management can see that my sound card is connected to my mother board, so i don't understand why the driver installer can't see it too and install the drivers ...
Could someone give me a tip to help me to install my drivers please?
i got windows vista 32bits build 6000 , X-Fi Extreme Music, 2048 RAM, Pentium4 3.6ghz 250 go hdd space ...
I'm waiting for some cool answers, thanks ! ...

You are wrong. The 2.3 are for extreme music, you are thinking about extreme audio. Creative have really made a blunder with these names, not strange many are having problems. Propably trying to install extreme audio drivers on extreme music, and the other way around!?
Check that you have the right drivers, if you do. Try the trick where you unpack the driver exe file, so you get all the files from the installer on to a folder of youre choosing. Then use the "Creative Update Utility" popup to install/force the drivers to install. If you dont know what im talking about, search the forums, its been explained many times here.

Windows 7 64-bit and 4gb ram on S10-3T

Can I upgrade my S10-3T to Windows 64-bit and install a 4gb stick of ram? I found a couple of sticks with matching specs on amazon.
Also will the processor bottleneck the 4gb ram/ is it even worth it?
I have the N470 BTW

It means windows 7 64 bit won't work with S10-3T, same with the 4G RAM since its maximum is only 2GB

I Confused. May be a driver of

I see that you are saying all versions of Windows 8 are failing on your system, but are you including 32-bit and 64-bit flavors? I understand why 32-bit versions might give you grief (too much RAM for a 32-bit system to handle). A 64-bit system might still have device driver issues. Microsoft does not auto-magically have all the device drivers in the world that are necessary to make any system usable. The original device manufacturers must provide Microsoft with drivers before the Windows Update servers would be able to communicate said drivers to the computers in question.
In regards to Apple devices, Apple has not yet released the device drivers needed to run the hardware with Windows 8. Apple has released the drivers for previous versions of Windows (XP SP2 and higher, Vista RTM and higher, 7 RTM and higher) to their userbase, but not to Microsoft for distribution through Windows Update (unless I am mistaken). Until Apple releases a version of Boot Camp updated for use with Windows 8, they have not yet released any form of the full collection of necessary device drivers for normal device function with Windows 8. Running compatibility mode on the Windows 7 device driver bundle via boot camp is not a fully palatable solution because compatibility mode generally is meant for application programs, not device driver services. Therefore, partial compatibility might be gained by using the Windows 7 device drivers for Windows 8 with the compatibility mode enabled prior to install. Unfortunately, much unanticipated incompatibility is equally likely with such a decision.
Some parting words on the subject may be necessary for clarification: prior to the RTM versions of Windows 8, the trial versions of Windows 8 were distributed with a much wider array of device drivers than the RTMs. This was for Microsoft's testing purposes. Furthermore, some of the architecture used during the trial period likely used Windows 7 engines more than Windows 8 engines. This means the Windows 7 drivers pack would have had more likelihood of working during the Beta and Release Candidate periods than during the final Golden Master period we have now entered. Regardless, it is not recommended by Apple (our hardware manufacturer) to use another method of installing Windows on a Mac than to utilize Boot Camp.
As Mende1 suggested, you would be wise to reinstall a previous version of Windows you may have been running. Also, given your previous post, you will want to repair your OS X installation back to full functionality prior to the Windows reinstall. For a reasonable timeline estimate, consider that it took 89 days from the original release of Windows 7 by Microsoft until Apple originally released device drivers via an updated Boot Camp. That puts a reasonable ETA for the necessary Boot Camp update at January 22nd/23rd. Even though this does not seem to apply to your situation, the discounted download for the Windows 8 Pro Upgrade will end after January 31st.
Cheers!

Poor performance when multitasking on T510, Core i5, Windows 7 64, 4GB RAM, NVidia Optimus 512MB

I'm saddly disappointed with my new Lenovo performance and don't know what might be the cause.
I just got a new T510 with Core i5 processor, 4GB RAM and Windows 7 64. When I run a couple of programs, like Photoshop, a Virtualbox (850 MB of RAM allocated), Google Chrome with a couple of tabs I get stuck.
It seems that 4GB of memory is not enough for the work I did on a 2GB machine a week ago.
The computer's response time is a couple of seconds for window switching. New programs start counting in minutes. RAM consumption reaches 98%, even though no single program is listed to consume more than a 150MB in either Task Manager or Resource monitor. Aero effects work cool, though, there's no sloppiness in the graphical layer of the system.
Even now, after having Virtualbox killed, remaining processes take up 89% of RAM memory in Resource manager.
I'm working on AC power supply with "Perfomance" power setting, but I can hardly call it a performance.
This is ridiculous, it was supposed to be a fast multitasking machine and it turns out to be a load of junk. I used to work on 2GB, 1.6GHz Celeron with Intel GMA processor, had Ubuntu host and Windows XP guest with 750MB RAM allocated plus a couple of programming tools running and never had such issues _on regular basis_.
I'm considering running a Ubuntu on this machine because I simply can't work this way on Windows 7... I can't even kill a process easily because it takes ages to End a process.
A friend of mine is running similar setup on a T410 machine with slower CPU and poorer graphics and he says this is really strange, because he never had such problems. My PC is new, 4 days since arrival, his is like 2-months old.
Has anyone experienced similar problem? What might be the cause?
At this point I have Chrome with ~10 tabs, empty Firefox, empty Photoshop, Pidgin, and 3 explorer windows running, Adobe Reader with 1 document and Sticky Notes. RAM consumption is 3495MB in use (yeah right), 276MB standby and 113 free.
What's wrong here?!
Please see the screenshot attached:
http://img715.imageshack.us/i/captureybh.png/
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, the issue is solved. After removing bundled Norton Internet Security suite it runs like gold-plated.
I'll get another anti-virus software, then.
Now, even with the Virtualbox running, I still have like 2GB free RAM. And no lags, no slow-downs. Woohoo.
**bleep** you Norton!

Windows xp not recognizing 4GB ram

I am upgrading a computer from 2GB to 4GB ram. The BIOS recognizes the memory as 4GB dual channel interleaved, but when I get into windows it only shows 2GB.
The OS is Windows XP SP3
there is no onboard video controller
dxdiag tells me video card is an nvidia 7800 GTX with 256MB of ram.
I read about the video card address space issue but it doesn't account for the difference. It should still be at 3.5 or 3.75 GB available to the system.
I have tried enabling the /PAE and the /3GB flags in the boot.ini file one at a time and together.
I have also tried manually setting virtual memory to a different size as well as disabling it.
Any ideas?

Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music??

I have Xfi Extreme Music (SB0640). In installed the lastes drivers for windows 7 (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.creative.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/#]Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series driver 2.8.003 [/url]), When I run a speaker test all 6 speakers work, however when I use media player, media center etc. Only the front left speaker works.
Do I need to install creative Alchemy?
Console Launchers does not load on boot
Any asistance will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

NRe: Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music? You will need to have the Creative Console Launcher which will let you have CMSS-3d or Creative Multichannel Surround Sound. You can find the newest version for your card here......

Honestly though, dont bother with just that. Get Daniel K.'s X-FI support pack which is updated with the newest drivers and applications for your card. Plus, he tweaked those with fixes for installation/integration? under operating systems other than XP.
That can be found here.......

Bootcamp: Windows 7 not booting on 4gb ram

Hi!
Situation:
I installed Windows 7 via Bootcamp. On 2gb ram (2x1gb or 1x2gb doesn't matter) windows boots fine.
I upgraded to 4gb ram (2x2gb) and now Windows is not booting. As far as I know, it's not even getting in DOS.
There's just the cursor blinking into infinity...
What I've tried so far:
Installing windows with 2gb and ugrading to 4gb.
Installing windows with 4gb
Tried the 32bit and the 64bit version
Found a 'solution' on the web making me boot in safe mode in order to change the maximum ram windows accepts.
Attributed more gb to the windows partition
I'm out of ideas, what do you think?
regards,
Massimo

How to use 4GB RAM on Windows 2000

Hi,
We use a third party application that parses weblogs and generates statistics.
The application gives OutOfMemory exception when the weblogs are hugs.
I am wondering if doing "editbin.exe /LARGEADDRESSAWARE java.exe" is going to help.
I have 4GB of physical RAM and I have /3GB in boot.ini in Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
Thanks,
Anurag.

How to use 4GB RAM on Windows 2000You are never going to use 4g on a windows box. The maximum addressable space is 4g. Normally the OS reserves 2g. Which means the maximum addressable space for an application is 2g.
It is supposed to be possible to increase the addressable space to 3 gig. And also increase the JVM space. However, there are risks. The following thread suggests a way to do this

Windows 7 64bit 4gb RAM yet only 2.46 usable

Ive read other posts on this, but they all seemed to be people running 32bit OS's.
Ive got 4gb RAM installed, and Windows sees this. I upgraded to Windows 7 64bit and at the start it was using the full 4gb. Something has changed in the last week and it only shows as 2.46 gb usable and 4gb installed. If i disable detection in the bios and use discrete. it goes up to 2.9gb
Can anyone help me as there is 1.5gb being wasted somewhere. I run with switchable graphics set to high performance.

The T500 will for sure show 2.46GB if you're running switchable graphics and a 32-bit OS.
The key point is verifying that the system is indeed 64-bit.

Can I use 4GB RAM on my MSI K8N Diamond with Windows 7?

Can I use 4GB RAM on my MSI K8N Diamond with Windows 7? I have put 4GB DDR 1 in my motherboard but windows 7 says (2.75GB usable)...
Regards, Jay

It depends highly on how much hardware (add-in cards) you have installed. If you have two VGA-cards, then it's likely that usable memory stays below 3GB. If you take some hardware out, you will see the usable memory increase a bit, but you won't reach the full 4GB. It will go as far as about 3.25 or so.

Extreme Music - Problems with Driver and Installation

Hi guys,
?After the my computer has given up it's life on the last friday, I bought a new one and wanted yesterday to install everything like OS, driver and so on.
I started the install of the driver(which is the version from the creative website , released in july 2009) for my soundcard, the X-FI Extreme Music and when the information was given, that the Windows drivers will be updated and it will take some minutes, something happend:
At my first try a bluescreen appered. You can imagine, that I was shocked to see a bluescreen on my new pc after an hour.
I run CCleaner to remove some rests of the "maybe installed" driver and started it again. There was no bluescreen, but the mouse freezes and the setup does nothing anymore. I can close it with may keyboard, but the driver wasn't installed.
After a new clean up with CCleaner I tried it again. I put out my cable of the mouse , so maybe this was the problem(ofc, WHY is there a problem with USB and PCI Cards ?). The installations works, no hang up or freezes. After a restart nothing happend. No sound. I looked at the hardware manager(do not know, whether it is the correct word, I'm german and have a german windows ) of windows and at audio, video and gamecontroller, there is a warning of not working driver.
I remember, that on my old system the driver was titled something like
X-FI Audio[800] or something like that.
But here it was named with?
X-FI Processor WDM
I thing the system is installing the wrong driver.
I looked at some forums , find the hint to change the PCI slot. I did it, but nothing changed.
So, here are some information of my system configuration, maybe someone can help.
Old system(where the soundcard works fine with no problems):
- Athlon X2 4200+(socket was the "old" 939)
- Asus A8N-E
- DDR 400 RAM, 2GB
- Windows XP Professional(32 Bit) with SP3
New System:
- Phenom II X4 80(quadcore)
- Gigabyte MA790XT-UD4P
- DDR3 333 RAM , 4GB
- same OS as used in the old configuration
Ofc all chipdriver were installed and seems to work fine.
The onboard soundchip is disabled too.
Hope for help ^^

Hi guys,
I'm very sry for the wasted bytes and bits in this forum, but my problem was solved some minuetes after this post >.< .
