X-Fi Xtreme Fatality Platinum & Vista 5.1 not work

Here I am again hoping that in the many months I've had this sound card that a solution will drop in my lap and I still wait. I'm going to take another shot at this and hopefully someone who knows what the problem is can fix it.
Vista 64
X-Fi Xtreme Fatality Platinum
Logitech Z-5500 Digital 5. Surround Sound Speakers
I run a speaker setup using Stereo settings and the Left and center channels act as my Left and Right.
I run a Quadraphonic settings and the sound comes from the center channel.
I run a 5. Surround sound setup and the sounds come from only the center channel and subwoofer.
I've checked my hook up and speakers have never been touched since I've made the switch from XP/Audigy to Vista64/XFi.
Someone please tell me what is going on here and why my channels are way off then they should be I've downloaded and installed the latest driver from Creative Labs and used Daniel K's custom made drivers and nothing seems to fix it. I've had this sound card for 6/8/2008 and we're in 9/0/2008. That's 3 months of no sound on my brand new computer and my online gaming experience is really bad especially testing games like WoTLK and Warhammer and not enjoying the quality sound those games have. Please, I'm at a loss here and I can't find a problem. I refuse to purchase another sound card because I felt I've waisted a lot of money on this sound card and for the price I paid it should work.

It's funny how some people say you can enable 5. with vista 64 using alchemy but for 10 days now I have yet to get a response.

SB Live 5.1 Platinum- The LIVE Drive2 Not Working On Windows Vista 32

SB Li've 5. Platinum- The? LIVE Dri've2 Not Working On Windows Vista 32BIT?i need halp?tnks

You mean you get audio at all??Heh. I did hear of Windows Update giving some sort of 2. sound so maybe that's what you have. Since Creative isn't going to do any work on the old Li've series (non-24bit), I suggest you try the latest beta kXProject drivers from the driverheaven.net kXProject forum. 3538l is Windows Vista compatible. Just install it with UAC turned off. Don't know how much is working, but it's possible that your Li'veDri've is one of the things. See for yourself. Better than the basic Microsoft implementation, especially for your 5. speaker support.

Runtime error R6025 message after log on to Vista - Flash Card not working

Hi
I'm a newbie & would appreciate any advice.
I am getting a runtime error message R6025 when I log on to Windows Vista.
When I click out of the box I then get a message saying Toshiba Flash Card not working.
I cancel that and my laptop is ok except I don't know if the flashcard is working or not because I don't know what it does.
Sorry if I sound thick
Thanks
Neelie

Hi
I found this MS knowledge base article:
+Description of the R6025 run-time error in Visual C++\+
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/125749
But I doubt this description would be useful for you or anyone here. It describes this error in Visual C++ and this is programming language.
However, I think you should simply reinstall the Value Added Package which you could download firstly from the Toshiba European page.
At first you have to remove the old Value Added Package from the system, then reboot the notebook and follow with new VAP installation.
Bye

HP Advisor, for m9040n HP Pavilion vista home premium not working after installing update.

I have a m9040n hp pavilion desktop with vista home premium. My hp advisor will not work. When I go to the menue to pull it up the icon has changed and is an icon of white pages. When I select the icon Hp Advisor it gives me a gray dialog box called the file type assistant. For searching for software to open the file. I've tried to install the sp 43112.exe update recommended for my hp pavilion m9040n with vista home premium but my hp advisor is still not working. Any ideas as to why my installing the update failed? Is there anything I should do beforeinstalling the update?

Rkmccoy25,
I understand you’re stating the HP advisor isn’t working correctly after an update.
Try doing a system restore back a day or two before the update occurred, if you haven’t attempt that already. Below are the instructions on how to do a restore if you’re unsure.

Satellite Pro A300-1A8 Vista system restore not working

I wanted to use system restore due to attempting to reconfigure administrator rights, its somehow deleted all my shortcuts on my menu and messed about with a few things.
However when i try to use system restore (i have attempted to use it in safe mode, via cmd promp, both together and normal boot), yet all seem to stay hanging in the same green page where it reads something along the lines of 'system is initialising restore etc' (spending 45 mins on this page before i get fed up and shut down the computer). I have tried using different restore points but the same occurs. It like its not working at all.
Can anyone help with this please?
My laptop is a Satellite Pro A300-1A8.

Hi
You mean the Vista tool which can be found in (Start button -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore) does not work and you cannot set back the Vista to the early time point?
Well, usually there is no much to do to restore the OS to the early time point you have to star the system restore tool and have to choose the restore point. Then everything should run automatically.
If this doesnt work then something is messed up as you said in your posting above somehow deleted all your shortcuts on my menu and messed about with a few things possibly the OS has been messed to.
Try to clean the OS using the free software for example CCLeaner. I use it too. Its great. Repair and clean the OS and check if its possible to use the system restore tool again.
I found also this MS page:

Vista Calendar does not work for me in newest vers...

I have tried the newest version of Vista Calendar sync on Nokia PC Suite (6.85++) and it is buggy.
In one instead, I selected the calendar type (Vista) and name (Mark's Calendar) in the Sync settings in PC Suite, and when I synched both ways, and then went into calendar, the entries were not there. And also, Windows Calendar had now a new calendar for me, called "Mark's Calendar (2)".
Then, on another occasion, when I selected to force the updating direction ONLY TO the computer (i.e. copy all entries from phone to computer) only some events get copied (the recurring ones). And I can't seem to get the direction FROM the computer TO the mobile's calendar.
For example, I set up a day in the Vista Calendar, Christmas, December 25. It just doesn't show up in the mobile calendar, even when I force the direction (FROM VISTA TO PHONE). Yet, it sometimes works the OTHER way around (but flakily).
In one instance, I managed to get a recurring event sundays at 1 PM to copy from phone to computer, but then when I did a second synchronization, it somehow created a duplicate event, same time, but Sundays at 7 AM, in addition to the 1 PM one that already existed.
Anyway, all in all, this thing isn't working for me just yet, it's too buggy, and I would love to hear feedback from anyone on any aspect of this. I never had Outlook installed on this machine. If a Nokia rep is reading this, please get back here or by email.

Hi, you are absolutely right, its very buggy, but only with Vista, so could be 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. If you go to Import you can import the transferred data from the base calendar to the current one. Using latest Nokia suite / CA53 cable and 6234(firmware updated) and its fine in both directions on XP and Outlook '97

Need help with XiFi Platinum... Not worki

Hello everyone, I'm having (some?) trouble with my XiFi Platinum. I've had it for a little over a year now, and I personally think it's broken but I just want to be sure before I go out and buy something to replace it...
So yesterday it worked fine justl like new. Then I installed a new 8800GT (From 2 7900GT's being removed) and connected that. I had to rewire some things, move a harddri've around to make it fit, etc, but i didnt really mess with the soundcard, there was no need to. But when I turned the computer on after installing I find that there is no sound at all. Windows didint even detect the card anymore and simply said ''no audio device'' in the sound properties.
I then proceeded to re adjust the card in the same PCI slot and after reboot windows did recognize the card properly. I continued to test if it worked, because all the software settings said it should be working. I turned on my speakers and without even having any audio files running i had this high pitched ringing noise that never went away (until i turned off the speakers).
OK so I thought it might have been the PCI slot, so I doubtfully tried another slot. The card isn't recognized at all in the second slot, and I go back where I started to ''no audio device detected." I deleted the Creative drivers and downloaded the most recent XP32 ones that I'd need (SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_5_0006.exe), but at the start of the installation it simply said something like ''there is no supported device detected, installation will now close.'' So at this point I'm not sure what I need to do because I think it's broken...
System Specs:
Motherboard: MSI P6N SLI Platinum? LGA 775
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 @ 2.4GHz
RAM: (2xGB) Patriot signature DDR2 800
Hard Dri'ves: (2x) Western Digial Caviar 200GB (=400GB)
Graphics Card: eVGA Geforce 8800GT 52MB
Sound Card: CL SB Xi-Fi Platinum (http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=&subcategory=208&product=4065 )
OS: Windows XP Home 32bit
Also, this is a ''relati'vely'' fresh install of win XP that I did about 2-3 weeks ago. Reinstalled nVida drivers last night after installing the 8800GT. At this point I'm thinking that i might have burnt out the card at some point while working with the computer, and I can't see otherwise, but I dont know..
Any help is appreciated.:manvery-happy:
**EDIT** I forgot to mention that after I switched the card to a new PCI slot it was detected by Windows as a new PCI device, but it didnt work and I couldnt install drivers. Strangely I think the bios got reset or something because after I moved the card the MSI logo was displayed as opposed to the boot information, which I had it set on. The clock also got reset.. I'll have to look more closely at the bios to see if anything else got changed too.

Try with better PSU, single rail with at least 40A at +12V
Any recommendations for a better PSU, I've also been looking at the stats for my current psu
quote some specs on it..
"Triple 12V Rails provide independent reliable power to the CPU, video card and other components with a combined rating of 50A (40A on 520W) maximum! Advanced circuitry design that automatically enables power sharing between the triple +12V rails in an event of overload on any single +12V rail."
Really thought this PSU would handle it.

Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro - breakout box not work

I have an an external external breakoput box which was working fine in my old computer. I upgraded the mother board and cpu and installed the Audigy as before. The actual card works but the break out box doesn't light up. If I plug the external box firewire cable in to another firewire port on the computer the power LED lights but that's all. Any ideas anyone?

I am sorry to bump this topic but it is the same as my question and does not seem to have been answered.
I have a Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro - my old one which I decided to use in lieu of the on-board sound. I installed the latest drivers I could find SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0017.exe (after unistalling the existing ones)
The card itself works fine but the external interface box is as dead as a doornail. The power for the interface is supposed to come from the two connectors.
No lights no nothing - obviously I have checked the leads and the seating of the card itself. Playback is fine on MP3, midi, wave files etc. I have disabled the on-board sound in the BIOS of course.
Unfortunately the jacks on the back of the card are 1/8 in. outputs only and the external interface provides the inputs which I need for recording etc. They are 1/4in proper ones - guitar lead size which are much better.
I know it is an old card but I like it. The last time I used in in my old computer it was fine. Card/drivers show up in the device manager. I have installed this both on a Win 7 partition and a Win XP partition on my 2 HDDs with the same result. :mansad:
Any ideas appreciated! Is there something I am doing wrong? Thanks.

Vista recovery CDs not working

A virus completely hosed my X200 laptop. I'm trying to do a bare metal restore from the Vista recovery disks that came with the laptop. The disk boots a seems to be going ok, then it hits a screen a just sits there for a minute or so. The DVD drive isn't doing anything and the HD isn't doing anything. Then it just reboots. If I leave the disk in it will repeat this cycle over and over again, so it's not that it's doing some sort of prep on the first round.
Is there a way to fix this or are my CDs bad? I just removed them from their packaging and the look like they are in pristine condition.

ErikEngbrecht, welcome to the forum,
having read your posts you seem to have been doing everything correctly. As your system is hanging after booting from disc #1, I'd suggest copying that disc and trying to boot from the copy. If the same occurs contact support and ask them to send you another set.
Alertanitively, have you tried booting to the service partition? Press the blue ThinkVantage button when booting, when you see the message "To interrupt.....". This should then offer you the possibility of selecting F11 to diagnose or recover your system.
Yet another alternative would be to create your own recovery discs, assuming your system still works, these will be created from the service partition and should not be influenced by the virus infection.
Hope this helps

The Vista Magnifier does not work with FF4.

The Vista Magnifier (Accessories, Ease of Access, Magnifier) shows the entire FF window(s) as blank white -- including the window borders. Does this have something to do with the new semi-transparent FF4 window borders? The popup(?) that occurs when I hover over a bookmark showing the name and URL is shown and magnified.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
* Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You can also try to toggle some of the gfx and layers prefs on the about:config page to enable or disable some features. 
Filter: /gfx|layers/
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.

Photoshop 5 Vista OS DVD Not working

I cannot make backups of my catalogs on my Vista computer from Photoshop Elements 5.
The CDDVDW is a TSST Cop. TSH653Q drive. Photoshop tells me the driver is not loaded, Install Photoshop. I do the install and the same thing happens. When attempting to do a Catalog backup to the DVD drive (in my case drive F) isn't showing up on the list of available drives. Please note I have down loaded Photoshop 5.02 and have the same results. I enjoy the Photoshop product and being able to backup my pictures is important to me. I have Photoshop 5 running in a Toshiba Laptop the OS is XP all works fine but because the laptop was being bogged down by photoshop I purchased a desktop. It is a HP dual core pavilion with Vista as the OS.
I hope you can help me with this problem I enjoy photoshop and have invested a lot of time in my pictures.
Thanks in advance
Jerry

Hi Joe
Sorry for the slow response. My wife and I went Geocaching yesterday, we biked and hiked 6+ miles so these old bones were tired. I did get some good photos though. As far as Adobe and Photoshop elements 5 is concerned I feel it is a great and very powerful bit of software. It has given me many hours of productive enjoyment and enabled me to improve my photos. So I will probably upgrade soon. I do want to thank you for your time and efforts to assist me in straightening out my DVD problem.
Thanks
Jerry

Imac i7, Vista bootcamp - Audio not working?

Hi peeps -
Vista installed fine on my Imac i7 bought fall of 2010, but there is no audio.
In Device Manager, the default installation was "High Definition Audio Device" - then after messing with the drivers it listed "HDMI audio Device" - and regardless of what it lists, it maintains that it is working properly. I can see the little green bar go up and down when i hit test, but no audio - neither the front speakers nor the headphone jack.
I've tried deleting the drives, and re-installing from the iMac system disk, but there are two folders: One for Realtek, and one for Cirrus - not sure which to use... also it seems to be moot, cuz it hasn't worked....
Anyone have any input? Same problem? Driving me nuts!

You should consider reposting your question in the Boot Camp forums:
