XFi XtremeMusic & Vista SP1 - Not the best of buddies?

[Dappy]

Have any of you had issues since installing Vista SP1?

The issue I've got is occasionally my pc will freeze and require a hard reset whether it be gaming or watching a video and the last sound that I hear will constantly repeat itself and the PC will then be frozen at this point and require a hard reset.

On the next reboot Windows re-detects "Multimedia Device" and looses the XFi drivers. I have to then uninstall and then reinstall the XFi drivers.

Before SP1 I had no problems like this, only since doing a clean install with SP1 have I experienced these issues.

Thanks

try switching the pci slot that the card is in

xfi + vista = ####bag of problems :/

Did that last week after Vista failed to detect the card after trying everything.

I'm considering downgrading to XP Pro in the mean time. It's 2008 and Creative are strugling to write drivers for their software and takes them a year to fix one thing or was that just a cosmetical change?

Well i'm back on Vista now, the exact same issue happened under XP after a couple of reboots! So I think the card may need to be RMA'd but i'm giving it one more chance first
