Hi guys

Just trying to install the drivers fresh from the CD from the original box...

Typically Creative drivers they say "Setup is unable to detect a supported product on this system" then you just have to cancel the install. That's it..

I have various other versions of the drivers, that I have found on the net, and they do the same thing...

Funnily enough I had this same issue on my Audigy 2 on my old PC, you think Creative would have sorted their drivers by now...

Any help much appreciated !

Thanks
 
are you sure you have got it seated correctly etc, and not disabled in bios?

do you get the device without drivers in device manager? what if you scan for new hardware?
 
Exactly the same problem last night with my new install of Vista x64 with my X-Fi Fatal1ty, I also had the exact same problem with my Audigy 1. I had to pull out the card, boot into windows, shutdown, plug the card back in and boot again, it seemed to work, no idea why but once it's detected by Windows it seems to continue working from then on. It must be something to do with the architecture of the boards because the first time it happened I though I had killed the card only to find out it was working fine after pulling it out and plugging it back in.
 
Thanks very much for your suggestions.

I tried reseating it twice to no avail.

But then I tried a different PCI slot , not hopeful but then it actually worked?? :)

Something about creative IRQ Conflicts I beileve..

Anyway all sorted :)
 
It is very strange, I wouldn't be suprised if some Creative card ended up on eBay marked as faulty because of this.
