Ji@nBing Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I can't get my SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 working. The XP drivers don't work and there are no Vista ones available. Has anyone been able to get a Live! series card working? I know it's an old card, but it's good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StartMeUp Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Now that all the hype is dying down and I have had a good play with Vista 5342 I can say that it is a step in the right direction. But.. No where near as astonishingly great as most were convinced into believing. The 64bit version is by far the most improved, while the 32bit version is still resource, performance, compatibility and device driver challenged. At best.

-Dave- Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 How come when snsn has 2GB with a rating of...2.9 i believe, and -Dave- has 511MB for a rating of 5.9 [believe numbers are correct]? i have a Gig, and it might b e to do with the speed of the memory not just the amount!

kin0 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I can't get my SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 working. The XP drivers don't work and there are no Vista ones available. Has anyone been able to get a Live! series card working? yes, got my SB Live! (not 5.1) working perfectly this time, not like in 5308 Try to install by extracting all files from their exe installer with winrar or so, then go in device manager to update the driver by pointing to the files you just extracted. also check somewhere the choice between 2 and 4 speakers, and the "digital only" checkbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji@nBing Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 just turn on the windows update in VISTA 5342 and there has driver for SBlive. Perfect, thanks :) . I checked winupdate after I first installed, but it wasn't there. I must have just missed it as it was published yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech_Dude_5000 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Well , Microsoft said thats "Vista's new Logo" and they said they didnt fell like puting the Windows Flag everyweare. The new logo is cool, but i just do get it, oh well its microsoft, we been geting stuff from them that we dont get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimpster Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 tech_kid_2006: ...what? also the logo as it stands is pretty ugly. maybe if they simplified it, got rid of all the details in it? i don't knowi personally would rather have the windows flag everywhere vs that thing.

Grope for Luna Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hmm, i cannot install this build, i install and the computer reboots but the screen stays black after it selects it from the boot manager.. :| im stumped, i have tried to install about 2 times and same result, Anyone having similar problems, workaround? The system always stalls for a minute or two after the boot manager so just leave it. If it stalls for a much longer time, you're probably screwed. They should have kept the Longhorn name and logo.

Tech_Dude_5000 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Where did MS say that it's the new Vista logo? http://istartedsomething.blogspot.com/2006...-trademark.html It's not so much a new theme as a new brand element for Windows. We were feeling a little creatively trapped when it came to the Windows identity especially with branding the user experience (in UI). We know we didn't want to slap the Windows flag logo everywhere (disparaging to the flag!), so we created this new little sweet, light gesture animation in the UI. I have to admit, there's still some little treatment-like work I'd like to do to it. It may not say the vista logo, but its close to the "a vista logo " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P!P Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 thats true , but what is the use for paint? its just a good tool to take screenshots of your pc, and post them on the net. other then that theres no real good use for it anymore. Now if Microsoft included an advanced tool ( less advanced the photoshop, since photoshop is the best out there and we dont want microsoft to get sued by adobe ) then it will be nice,. What else is there on a new PC that can do work with drawing/ pictures? You're just assuming everyone has access to Paint Shop Pro or Paintshop or even some of the free ones. Which isn't the case. Improving Paint is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureCow Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) I have a problem getting the glass to work. After the installation of 5342, and the first time windows was started, the glass worked at once! Then I installed the newest nVidia Vista(x64) Drivers form the nVidia page (87.15) Then all the glass effect disapeared. I tried things like the Winkey-R : WinSAT Aurora, I saw a beautifull screen for more then 30 minutes but nothing changed. Then I download other (WDDM) Drivers form the internet (87.43), it was not WHQL. But also with those drivers I didn't get any glass effect. The last thing i tried was to: update the driver, searching on the internet. After a minute windows installed new drivers (86.82) Wich where WDDM and WHQL. But also with this driver i can't get the glass to work. Can anybody tell me how i get my beautifull glass effect back? My system: AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 1024 MB RAM Geforce 6800 GS PCIx ASUS SLI Deluxe Rating: 4 Edited March 28, 2006 by FutureCow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
