X-fi working in Vista

After fighting with the drivers on this site, I thought I would check the Dell site to see if they had beta vista drivers maybe. I came up empty handed but thought I would give the XP 64 drivers a try from there. I did not think they would work because I had no luck with the ones on this site but after letting the install sit for awhile, a message came up asking to restart the computer. With the Creative drivers I always got a fail message but not with the Dell OEM ones. The speaker in the tray no longer had an X on it so I let the system restart and was greeted with the windows start up sound. I only have 2. speakers so I do not know if the 5. works but I am going to try and install the rest of the creative package and hopefuly not loose my audio. If anyone else got an X-fi card with thier Dell or any other OEM, then you should give the drivers from that site a try.

Well what do you know... I rebooted to the 32 bit disk and was getting ready to install the 32 bit Vista and it told me to load it from within windows. After it booted up to Windows, it works fine now. And yes I did reboot after installing the driver several times. For now everything looks good. I hope it continues. Now I have to wait until all my programs are updated to work in this OS. For instance Solidworks is not ready for Vista yet. Good thing I'm running a dual boot with XP. Thanks anyway.

Vista 64 Treo 600 Sync Solution that should also work for Vista 32

Ok Here is a partial solution for a Treo 600 (Bell) with Vista 64 (along with my Treo 755p TELUS)
I recently purchased an Acer with Vista 64 to replace a XP machine that was having increasing hardware failures. I did not know at the time there was no support for Vista 64 and that Palm had only released a Vista 32 desktop the week before.
I managed to install the Vista 32 bit desktop software on my Vista 64 machine with no error messages but when I tried to install my Treo 755p I found out about the lack of Palm USB Vista 64 drivers
Insert Palm wasting time on Folio instead of Treo driver support rant @#!%!#%^^!#^@^@!%#!!!!!!! (I know it should be longer but most of it has been said before) Ok back to business.
Treo 755p
On the Palm forums I found the instructions for getting a Treo 755p to sync via Bluetooth
I followed the instruction and purchased a Blue Tooth USP key (Oh and I tried the Kensington - Bluetooth 2.0 USB Adapter first...^$%^@@^@^!!!!! before I found the Iogear USB Bluetooth 2.0 Class 1 Wireless Adapter which works fine and is the only one I would recommend) I now have my Treo 755p working with Vista 64 with only one error message (I'll get back to it later)
Treo 600
I was not impressed with the fact that this device had not support at all from Palm for Vista (32 or 64) $#%^!%!^@^@^%@ (ok I feel better)
I found a suggestion from a UK site that mentioned you could sync a Treo 600 via IR and even suggested the correct IR USB unit to buy (SITECOM CN-100)
http://www.sitecom.com/product.php?productname=USB+to+fast+IrDA+adapter&productcode=CN-100&productid...
Unfortunately that particular IR USP reader is only sold in the UK. So I took a chance and ordered a "Cables Unlimited USB IRDA Adapter tem Number: C250-1160 (about $17.00 Cdn). It arrived a few days later and it installed on my Vista 64 machine immediately without requesting any "driver disk" I followed the instruction from Palm on how to set up a USB Sync and tried to sync. The Vista machine identified the Palm and was willing to work but the Palm desktop and active sync was not responding. I reread the IR instructions and it requires you to complete a USB sync first (@!#$!$#%!^%!#%~%!!!!!!!)
So I took a night to think about it. My only solution I could think about was to see if I could fake out the Palm desktop / sync software. I fired up the old XP device and copied the user profile for the Treo 600 and copied it into the correct location on the new Vista 64 machine. I tried IR sync and low and behold it worked. (Oh and an IR Sync takes a very, very long time) After the first sync I received a few errors, my Documents to Go files were in new locations, some calendar and memos were duplicated all were very minor. I manually fixed those errors and then completed IR Sync and the Treo 600 now works with a Vista 64.
Of course this solution only works providing you have access to your old Profile, but I figure if you been using a Treo 600 you probably not a new user. If your completing a totally new install on Vista I would suggest find a XP machine install it on it and complete sync, then copy that profile to the Vista machine.
Treo 755p Back up Error
The one error I received was it was unable to back up this file PmTraceDatabase
The message read: “Protocol Error: Handheld file could not be opened. (4004)
-SYNCERR_FILE_NOT_OPEN”
I looked for this file in my profile on the old XP machine and was unable to locate it, but I noticed they the Treo 600 didn't have this message when I copied over the entire profile, I tried to do the same with my Treo 755p profile but the error did not go away. So after researching the Palm Forums I found this simple solution
http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=windows_hotsync&message.id=28291&query.id=134275#...
So now that I have spent the last 3 weeks trying to get both of our Palms working with Vista 64 I figure the 64 bit USB drivers should be available any day now.......oh and I'm now hating Vista less......

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.)

ITunes sharing works for Vista but not XP on the same network

So all the basic settings are right under Edit->Preferences to share and seek shared music on the network.
Here's the topology:
A - Vista Laptop (wireless)
B - XP Service Pack 2 Laptop (wireless)
C - XP Service Pack 2 Desktop (wired)
A can see C
C can see A
C can see B
A can see B
B can't see anything
Since the other machines can see B I'm lost... can you help?

After digging and reading since I posted this question, I finally found the issue. My Cisco VPN client was set to stateful firewall (always on). When I turned off this setting, all machines worked for iTunes sharing. The Vista box was coincidentally working because the Cisco VPN client 4.6 didn't work on Vista.

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.

Can't get coldfusion to work on Vista Ultimate

Need help, tried other stuff on other postings trying to edit
jrundll file that doesn't seem to exist
I'll look at so many places to try and get coldfusion 7 or 8
to work with IIS or Apache on Windows Vista Ultimate which came
pre-loaded with the new laptop.
It just gives me a 404 error complaining about the MIME
types.
I saw one forum that I need to edit the wcnfiguration.config
files (some name similar to that) in the system 32 interdel folder,
but I get an access denied error when trying to edit in
notepad....even though I am logged in as the administrator.
The index page for coldfusion works afte the install as well
as IIS 7.0 is working fine, but when trying to execute a .cfm fikle
it just gives that 404 error and doesn't seem to recognise the .cfm
file. I tried adding the CFM in MIME types in IIS admin and
selected coldfusion/application but it didn't work. I then changed
the CFM descrip to text/html (something like that) and it then
launched the cfm file and showed the html part of it, but didn't
process the coldfusion. It may be a simple MIME configuiration
problem in IIS, but I don't know what types should be there and
what the type descriptions need to be.
If anyone can help me with this, I really need the help to
get this to work with Vista. If you have instructions, can you
really spell it out for me please with as much step by step
instructions as possible please, I want to be sure to do it right.
Thank you so much for your help, I really need it!

David,
ColdFusion 8 should work with Vista on IIS 7without any
tweaks.

ITunes 7.4.3 doesn't work on Vista

I've been battling with this problem for about a week now, and I've been looking everywhere for an answer to this, but I've found none.
I upgraded iTunes from 7.4.2 to 7.4.3 last week, and restarted my computer when prompted. I tried opening it up...and it didn't work. Vista gave me the message that "iTunes has stopped working." Within the week, the only progress I made was plugging in my iPod to charge it (at which point, the same message popped up, but the error must've been slightly different because it let me send in an error report), and downloading Songbird so I could actually listen to my songs.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I don't want to completely delete iTunes, but if worse comes to worse, I will
Thanks in advance!

My iTunes hasn't been working since July/August when Apple upgraded iTunes. I am able to open up iTunes but it freezes as soon as it is open. The only thing I know is you should install it by right-click and choose "run as administrator". Disable all the Internet security, anti-virus, and firewall software when you download or install.
I haven't found any solution yet.

USB 3.0 won't work in Vista 32 bit.

I have an MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard in a system that dual boots into either Win 7 64bit or Vista 32bit. None of the USB 3.0 ports work in Vista, but they work in W7. I assumed that this was a driver problem, but I cannot find any USB 3.0 drivers for Vista. I downloaded the W7 32 bit drivers, but when I tried to install them I got an error message that my OS was not supported.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Hi,
That's an issue that Win Vista is not really supported by anything since it's very bad OS (sorry I am being honest). The only place you might find correct USB drivers is MSI themself as I couldn't find the right ones:

Does MS Office 2003 work on Vista?

Hi -
Can MS Office 2003 work on Vista Home Premium? I've searched the MS website with no luck - I can only find info where it says 2003 is no longer available for purchase.
Thanks~

Yes it works, I highly updating MS Office 2003 with all its patches and updates prior to using it on Vista for the first time as Microsoft have released numerous compatability updates.

Need uninstaller which works on Vista

Hi, I've recieved the security alerts to upgrade and your site says to first uninstall old java.
I have Windows hom premium Vista and the unintall does not say works with Vista.
Can someone please tell me how to uninstall the old java? I need the uninstal program.
http://java.com/en/download/help/uninstall_java.xml
Above is the link to the uninstall program which does not say works with VISTA.
Also how do i remove the java console.
It's 1.6.0 04 that I've got in FIREFOX and IE7 and the java console which need go so I can upgrade.
Thanks.
Please reply.

Hi, Thanks for writing.
Yes, there is an uninstall in vista which am aware of (and thank you for letting me know it removes the console as well, however, Sun says to use the Java uninstaller, and then if that doesn't remove all of Java to download a windows uninstaller to further remove from registry.
I desire to do it the proper way as don't want stuff left unproperly and the proper way is to the use the products uninstaller.
Wouldn't this site know if they have or don't have an uninstall that works for Vista?
This is apparently a critical update needed to be done (remove old - install new), and on Sun's own forums (two separate threads now) no one appears to know if there is one which works for Vista.
Appreciate knowing first if there is or is not an uninstaller works on Vista before using the uninstall on windows as is not the proper way to uninstall.
Thanks in advance for finding out if this site has an uninstaller which works for Vista. This is a timely matter as well as is a serious vulnerability until updated.
If there is none, just let me know please and as soon as possible.
Appreciate it.
Thanks,
Rachael

For all those ZEN MICRO fans who cant get their player working on VISTA - THIS WO

Listen guys.... I dont know who knows what on here but I thought I might share my knowledge (not that I have much )
I have a ZEN Micro player that would not work on VISTA
After a number of attempts and advice from people - I finally got it to work...
YOU DONT HAVE TO UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE
I was going to upgrade but the thing is I run XP and vista and I wanted my MP3 player to be used on both and I also heard that once upgraded then you cannot undo...
I explored my CD installation folder and rightclicked (whilst in VISTA) and went to properties
Once in properties I then clicked the Compatibility tab.
Then I clicked the box which states "run in XP compatibility mode"
It took a while then recognised what I wanted then I clicked apply.
Then I double clicked on the setup application and it run as per usual.
This does work!! Thankgod I didnt upgrade firmware
Thanks everyone on here who has helped me too I just thought I'd pay some people back in return :smileytongue:

Audigy 4 - WinXP Drivers working on Vista, exept

Hi,
I've followed the discussions here since the release of Windows Vista, and I have tried a number of combinations to make my Audigy 4 work like on Windows XP. The best configuration I had for now is the follow:?Latest Audigy 4 Windows XP drivers from creative.com?- Install fine- Have all EAX presets working- CMSS, CMSS2 are working - BUT: Windows doesn't recognize the 4. configuration, so that all Valve Source games (Half-Life 2 and mods), and certainly other programs that look in the Windows configuration,?don't run in 4.. But I can hear my music in 4.! (with the CMSS options)?I know there are some other bugs with Vista, but I think that the Vista drivers CAN have all the EAX presets, and the original Creative programs are certainly running on Vista, if there wouldn't be these annoying tests to detect the appropriate hardware. Can anybody help me to enable all EAX presets and edit them like I did on WinXP? I mean, they work on Vista with the XP drivers, why wouldn't they work with the Vista drivers?Alchemy is also running fine exept in one two games:Oblivion with Alchemy and Vista drivers doesn't work well (only bass tones, the high are gone)
With XP drivers on Vista and Alchemy, the game works perfect. I hope that Creative isn't the kind of company who disables features of their products in newer Systems (Vista) just to sell newer hardware... That would be so disgusting...

I had the same trouble with XP drivers on Audigy 2/4 in Vista. The solution I found, was to manually install latest X-Fi drivers, install XP CD apps in compatibility mode. I have speaker settings, EAX console, Diagnostics and Surround mixer working. Of course there's always EAX to be added too.

What soundcard actually works in Vista x

Is there any Creative soundcards that work at all in Vista x64 without problems?
A card that i can just install with no fuss and then it works?
I bought a Audigy SE and it is almost impossible to get to work.
I read some of the guides how ppl copy their CD's and modify files ect.
Are there no cards that actually work?
I read ppl who got X-Fi but still have problems, X-Fi is the newest?

LoL, afraid you'll have to go to **competitor** for a soundcard with all it's features enabled in Vista.
My X-fi works fine in Entertainment mode, but put it in Game mode & start any EAX game and it crashes out with looping sound.
The much vaunted CMSS 3D doesn't work in Vista 64, and dolby decoding is still missing.
Vista was only released 8 months ago after a year of public beta's, can't expect Creative to release working drivers so quickly can we!

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?

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!
Alex

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.
