Just done an upgrade on the brothers machine and he wanted vista.
Vista prompted me to install the drivers for the x-fi and i clicked cancel and used the latest drivers for vista off the creative web site that i'd already downloaded. It goes through the entire install process then asks to restart computer. Once you do that and reboot it shows no audio device installed, and when you go to device manager it says it caannot start device when you look at the xfi. i've no idea what to try now. It's in a DFI Ultra-D and as far as i can see there are no chipset drivers on DFI's site for vista, although windows update took down a few for the board. if anyone could point me towards a solution thatd be great. The sound was working fine under XP on the old setup.
