X-Fi Titanium and Windows 7 installation disk

Hi,
I've bought a X-Fi Titanium card which came with a driver?CD, I would like to know if the driver CD which came it's safe to install on Windows 7, or to download the drivers and Control Panel from the web an to install them instead.
The CD contains also applications besides drivers, but I think they are more Vista compatible since on the CD is copyrighted 2008.
So it's ok to install the CD and then to apply the updates from the web, or to install only the web drivers and control panel ?

Re: X-Fi Titanium and Windows 7 installation diskT This is the best thing to install to take care of all your needs:

Then you can update to the newest Creative driver and applications afterward. The software CD works in Windows 7, but I felt that my system was sluggish and unresponsi've afterward. So, I recommend you try Daniel K.'s pack, and then you can upgrade your driver and any other applications that Creative has updated since. There are a few things in the installation scripts for the applications and drivers on the CD that just dont work, in my opinion. That is why Daniel made his package, because he wanted to integrate things a bit more smoothly. I have run an X-Fi Fatality PCI and now my Titanium Fatality PRo PCI-express card with the support pack and it works great under XP, Vista, and Windows 7 in either 32 or 64 bit flavors.

Just purchased photoshop cs6 for windows and received installation disk.

Just purchased photoshop cs6 for windows and received installation disk. Where do you find the serial number on the disk? What should the serial number start with? The disk was in the original box and I see a number that start with 910.....
The box was in a brown envelope and there is barcode sticker on the back with more numbers. Where should I look for the actual serial number.

Bootcamp - Windows installation disk won't read

I have a late-2011, 13 inch MacBook Pro and I am running OS X 10.9.3 with all the latest updates. I am trying to use Bootcamp to runs windows but the windows disk isn't be read by my laptop. I run Bootcamp, it downloads the latest support software but when I put the windows installation disk in; it starts to spin up, makes some noises like it is being read, then it ejects the disk. Anybody have this problem, or now a way around it?

I have about 8 different burners on my systems, and some will read DVD's better than others will. On my workstation, I have one LG and one Plextor. The LG does the best, and when it fails, the Plextor usually can read. When this happens, I just do a Copy from the drive that can read the disc, to the other drive, using Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden blank media. If neither can read, I have six others to try. Sometimes, it's just the burner.
One little hint would be to make sure that your burner's firmware is updated to the very latest. That can improve the burner's ability to read from a slightly damaged disc.
Otherwise, contact Adobe. For many programs, they sell replacement media. Do not know if there are version limitations, but one call should give you what is available.
Good luck,

Bootcamp won't read windows installer disk

hey guys, I have a macbook pro, I just downloaded windows 7 from microsoft, I burned a dvd with the files and I partitioned my disk, but i can't install the windows because bootcamp won't read the disk. I get the following message: the installer disk cannot be found. Insert your windows installer disk and wait a few minutes ti be recognized...
What is wrong?

If it's an .iso, you need to open it in Disk Utility, then burn it from there. If you just put a bunch of files onto optical media, then it won't boot. You need to use something like Roxio Toast to burn a bootable disk from files. It knows what needs to be added and how the files should be arranged.
I've found that with Windows stuff, I'm better off using a Windows utilitiy that understands Windows booting. I use CDBurner XP. It works great and is free.

Toshiba S135-S2356 failed recovery Vista - need windows installation disk

Hi,
My Toshiba S135-S2356 recovery failed. Now it says ' insert your windows installation disk and restart your computer' . I have the Toshiba recovery and Application cd /drivers satelitte a130/a135 series windows vista home basic 32 bit CD but it won't start Window. It also said something about winload.exe . What should I do? Thanks

It sounds like your recovery discs may be bad. You might need to order new recovery media or have your laptop serviced.

Toshiba provide a WIndows installation disk?

I just went to an excessively LONG -out of the box- restore, that took 20 times longer than a normal Windows installation should of. Does Toshiba offer a windows installation disk or image file compatible with their Windows 7 upgrade disk?
Or would a 32bit Windows Vista image upgrade properly to a 64bit Windows 7 disk?
I have the CD-Keys for both...

Hi,
sounds interesting, but I dont think that toshiba will do that, because they already give the windows on recovery cd to every machine you buy from them.
So, why should they do that?
Maybe other manufacturer do that, but the quality of their notebooks and computers are probably not so good, so they must give software away, that customers dont return the
computers and buy some better like a toshiba. ;)
So a definitive answer to your question: No they wont.

SOUND MUTING WITH XFI FATALITY TITANIUM AND WINDOWS 7

5SOUND MUTING WITH XFI FATALITY TITANIUM AND WINDOWS 7z Ok sorry if this hasbeen covered before but I searched and couldn't find it so here goes:
I have a two month old XFI FATALTY TITANIUM CARD WITH THE FRONT PANEL BREAKOUT BOX.
It showed up staright away as a hi fi device and the optical output when selected works ok I dunno about surround sound it simply plays great stereo through my Arcam DAC connected up to my stereo.
Problems began when I decided to install the Creative Software. What happens i sit plays for maybe o mins then mutes also I primarily use i tunes and it wont play anything until a few seconds after the music starts.
This is just on optical out if I use standard phono to 3.5mm jack its fine.
What puzzles me is why this happens when using the creative software ? Reverting back to the pre creative software it plays fine I would just like to take advantage of the various functions suplied with creative software?
Any ideas please. FWIW I Completely deinstalled the card and installed? abasic CMI 8738 card and that does the same so maybe its windows 7
Oh spec wise Windows 7 32 bit
4GB RAM
Asus MOBO

Weird... I changed nothing and yeterday it worked...
I just understand this, but what the hell?

Why doesn't my built in super drive accept my windows installation disk?

Hi there,
I have a imac mid 2010, as said im trying to install windows 8.1 onto it but my disk keeps getting spat out after I put it in when asked for via the bootcamp installation. Now I know the disk works 100% as I have put it in another computer and booted it, also this happens with a windows 7 disk i have.
I have sort of tested the super drive by putting a random music CD which gets read fine and plays fine.
Does anyone know of anything to do with this?
or how I could test the super drive further?
Thanks in advanced.

Hey guys,
I haven't fixed the specific problem but I found a work around. Sorry if these instructions are hard to read any questions please let me know,
I wanted to make this post just out of courtesy of chscag being the only one the has helped me across many forums.
So hopefully I can edit and paste this fix into my 1st post and maybe get the tittle change to the thread because this is actually a windows 8.1 process and I'm not sure if it will work for other versions of windows.
NOTE: I'm not sure how good I am at explaining things here I just thought I would get this info down as I found it really tough and took me some time to get windows on my machine. So if you have any question please feel free to ask.
To start off forget everything in this thread!! Also remember I have a Imac 27" mid 2010 with a super drive that doesn't seem to work.
So here is what you need according to the way I managed to do this...
1. Windows 8.1 (either a downloaded iso or a install disk)
2. USB over 4gb
3. Another windows computer with access to the internet
I think these are the basic things you will need off the top of my head right now.
So step 1
This step is if you have a windows 8.1 disk.
If you find that when you run the bootcamp your superdrive doesn't accept your windows 8.1 disk then you need to do the following.
Get your windows disk and go to another windows computer (I'm sure you could do this on a mac os as well but I'm not mac savvy so I prefer to do this on a windows computer).
Now we are trying to get the iso image and burn it on to our windows computer. So we are going to need some software for this, I used Download | BurnAware
1. Install this software which I think is pretty simple.
2. Once installed run the software, click on copy to image.
3. You need to set where you are going to copy this iso file from. So put your windows disk in and then from source please select your optical disk drive. (The disk may auto run, So just let it do it's thing and the 1st chance you get to cancel the installation do it and quit out of the application)
4. Now under destination select browse, Navigate to to where you want to save this iso file, (I made a folder on my desktop for easier finding) then name it something like windows8 and then click save.
5. Now click copy
6. Wait until this process is done, once it's done you can close the application and your iso image should be where you selected to save it when doing step number 4.
Feel free to remove the software after you have done this if you want.
Now that we have a iso image we need to get to this onto a bootable usb drive.
Lets prepare our USB 1st...
1. Plug your USB into your windows computer.
2 .Important!!! Back up everything on this USB if you have files you wish to keep on this USB, After the next step all your files will be deleted that are on this USB.
3. Now go to my computer and you should see your USB stick. right click and go to format
4. I'm pretty sure you can leave everything as it is and please make sure quick format is selected. Then hit start. This shouldn't take long.
That's our USB prepared.
Now it's time to get our ISO image to our USB stick. For this we will need some software.
I used this, get the free trial and install it. ISO CD DVD image creator, editor and ISZ DMG DAA UIF to ISO converter - UltraISO can extract/create/edit/convert CD and DVD image files directly, make bootable CDs and convert ISZ DMG DAA UIF to ISO.
Now make sure you your USB is inserted.
1. Go to the ISO file that you burned to your windows, Double click it this should bring up a dialogue box from the software we just downloaded.
2. Click continue to try.
3. Now you should see your ISO loaded into this software, if it looks confusing don't worry just do as I say and you should be fine.
4. Up the top you should see, File, Actions and Bootable.
5. Click Bootable.
6. Go down to the 4th option and click "Write Disk Image"
7. A write disk image box should pop up.
8. Under disk drive make sure your USB is selected. (Don't need to click the verify box)
9. Double check next to image file it should your image path. (CUsers\yourcomputer\desktop\windows8.iso)
10. Go to write method and make sure it says USB-HDD+
11. Then hit write, this will bring up a box saying warning all your on this drive will be lost click yes.
Now it will burn the iso image this make take some time. Wait Until it says Burn Successful.
If that confused you please watch this video on how to use the software. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApRK8av2IOI
Now you can remove the software if you wish. Also safely remove your USB stick and you also can take out your windows disk. (We won't need to the windows computer again)
Now boot up your mac.
1. Go to disk utility
2. Go to your mac os on the left hand side and make sure it is selected.
3. Go to partition hit the plus( +) button, this should make another partion maybe named like MAC OS 2 or something similar.
4. Make this partition the size you want your windows HDD to be, do this by dragging the partition.
5. hit partition
6. Now go to the partition tab again, make sure you have the MAC OS 2 partition selected and hit the Minus(-) button. Now you should see that your MAC OS 2 is deleted and it just free space.
7.Hit partition
Wait until this is done.
Now everything is prepared we can begin the windows install.
You need to reboot your computer and when you hear the chimes or see a white screen you need to press and hold your option key on your keyboard until you see your boot menu.
Should be like 3 disc. Your mac OS and a EFI disk and a recovery disk.
Select your EFI disk and Windows should start to install as normal.
And that is it. Again I'm not sure how good I am at explaining things here I just thought I would get this info down as I found it really tough and took me some time to get windows on my machine. So if you have any question please feel free to ask.

So my system preferences have been deleted and my installation disk is gone

I downloaded pacifist and was ready to bring my system preferences back when I realized the disk is gone. How can I go about getting a new installation disk, or is there ANY WAY I can do this without the disk?

Hi cinylouwho
You can get a new copy of OS 10.3 from Amazon for $59.99 but you may as well go all the way and buy Tiger OS10.4.6 and upgrade using the COMBO version of 10.4.8 from here
There will be other updates to do as well but your son should be able to help there just keep the dog out of the way
Also have a look at http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/
and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270 which explains the different installation methods

Itunes and windows installation prob...

I had an older version of itunes and tried to upgrade to 7.1. Everytime I try to download it, I click on the 'itunes setup' icon on my desktop and a 'windows installer' window pops up with a bunch of info that I don't understand. I uninstalled the old itunes and quicktime...any other suggestions?

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/8793/itunesvs7.png
with that one, let's try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:

now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

I've seen my question, which is also MY problem, that Windows Installer Package will not allow ITunes to download. I've read several posts on possible "fixes" in several forums, and have yet to resolve my problem. Anyone know how I can fix this? I would REALLY appreciate the help.

it says there is a problem with this windows installer package, a DLL required could not be run
With that one, even though you're getting a different error message, try the procedure from the following user tip:
