Windows Vista x64 and Creative x-fi
Hi everyone,
I was just wondering what the creative x-fi cards are like to use with vista x64. I remember back when vista first came out, there were major issues with the drivers. Have they fixed these issues? |

Hi Julie,
What does Creative have to say about them? Drivers are the responsibility of the hardware manufacturer, not the writers of the operating system. Drivers included in the operating system are chiefly supplied by the device manufacturer. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Julie" julie@home wrote in message ...

Same answer as I gave in the hardware group, you need to check with Creative
for proper supporting drivers. Device manufacturers are responsible for writing and releasing drivers to support a given operating system, they don't come from Microsoft. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Julie" julie@home wrote in message ...

I was kind of wondering about the opinions of people who own them. No
offence :-) "Rick Rogers" wrote in message ... Hi Julie, What does Creative have to say about them?

Understood, my apologies for assuming that you were looking to see if
Creative has written these drivers yet. X-fi downloads can be found here for those looking for them: http://support.creative.com/products...&catname=x-fi# Not all of their products are supported under Vista as some are considered discontinued. I would suspect that if no driver has yet been written for any given product, then none ever will be as Vista has been out for over a year now. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Julie" julie@home wrote in message ...
