Don't you have a bridge to go back under?
the driver problem you have is logical... they dont want to include all the drivers yet.. they will do that later...
You are kinda losing your breath here... The MS followers like anything MS makes, so all you will get from them is "its still beta", and then after RTM it will be either your fault or your hardwares fault.....

If you want to "uninstall", you'll have to boot the XP disk then install from there :o(

My ZS Audigy card don't work either so I just use the on board audio. Its a Beta FFS what did you expect a full free OS with the latest games ready to rock.
Did you not think to do a drive image before installing Vista or put it on a test box.
Never mind you can class it as a lesson learned eh

Well, fercrisake, it IS a beta. What part of "BETA 2" do you not understand? What part of "this version should not be installed on a production machine" do you not understand??? It's fully EIGHT MONTHS BEFORE THE APPROXIMATE RELEASE DATE, and therefore eight months too soon to be throwing ludicrously childish tantrums like celtic fury posted here. What a "facking" (to use his word) moron and troll! Anyone who would expect this version to be driver-complete is simply much too stupid and naive to be installing beta versions. If the guy installed this Beta OVER his working OS, which I infer he did from the statement about reformatting, then he must have the IQ of an immature cucumber. He "facking" deserves what he got.

peace man! we all want windows vista to be the best version ever made...
they do still have time to fix it up and if they would only listen . Frankly I cannot critisize whats under the hood until I use it for a long time, and I am sure they have made improvments there.. but the GUI has big problems... and they are saying that they wont change it much from what it is in beta 2

My problem is...i put in the recovery disk for my toshiba laptop and it won't recognize it...it continually goes to the choice of login type screen...and i've tried each one. Unfortunately it also won't load vista now either...it just sits at the screen with vista beta build 5384 in the lower right corner. I cant even get to a command prompt to reformat. Help!!

You can get the Kx Project Release for Audigy Cards that will make them work in Vista Here http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/down.php?language=en
Download and install this version Version 5.10.0.3537
Its a little quirky but it will install and it does work.. You may get an error that says cant initialize audio card but you'll notice the windows alert beep coming through your speakers when it happens. Movies Games and all other sounds work great.
Good Luck

Of course this is beta code. That's not the point here, however. To release a beta to general public without support for one of the most widely used audio cards (i.e., Soundblaster) and on top of that to not advise users of this deficiency before they install is a major miss for Microsoft. This is not some odd, noncritical peripheral we're talking about. If basic audio functionality is missing, because of a lack of support for these devices, then this software should not have been released outside of the development and professional IT communities and a notice should have been given. -- Landrew

Well, fercrisake, it IS a beta. What part of "BETA 2" do you not understand? What part of "this version should not be installed on a production machine" do you not understand??? It's fully EIGHT MONTHS BEFORE THE APPROXIMATE RELEASE DATE, and therefore eight months too soon to be throwing ludicrously childish tantrums like celtic fury posted here.

They would love to include all the drivers right now. The problem is they cannot include a driver that the manufacturer has not certified (at least as a beta driver) for Vista. The manufacturer's are all over the place in this process at this point. There are well over 100,000 Windows compatible devices to worry about. Tough problem.

By that they mean the feature set. That does not mean they aren't fixing bugs like crazy. But this is what beta testing is all about. Remember, Murphy was a beta tester.

If Creative wasn't ready with a driver on time for Beta 2 then that's unfortunate, but not Microsoft's fault. There are a ton of printers and such the same way.

Not to belabor the point, but printers are not as fundamental as sound cards to the functionality of a PC these days. You can always find a printer that will work, but what are you to do if your sound card doesn't? There's no sensible solution thjat doesn't involve opening up your PC and replacing the sound card with another. Therefore, this IS a Microsoft issue and can't just be thrown over the wall to the sound card manufacturer. -- Landrew

Of course it can. Sound isn't even enabled in some Windows Server editions. Microsoft does not write the drivers and it is not practical for them to wait until every last one is provided by the manufacturers before proceeding to the next stage of the development process. Earlier betas lacked fully-functional drivers for some widely-used NIC's, soundcards, and videocards but the beta program proceeded anyway. It's not like they released it for production use. Just as a preview.

Sorry, but this thinking just seems so wrong to me that I can't resist replying. Here's the point: This software is advanced. On my computer, Device Manager is clean and EVERYTHING works. I cannot distinguish it from a RC on my computer. Therefore, why in the world would you assert that Microsoft should be obligated to hold up their beta testing just because one company -- the ALWAYS-TARDY Creative Labs -- cannot get their act together. We all understand that this beta isn't much fun on your particular computer, but that is no reason that MS shouldn't release it, especially with the provisos they give repeatedly about not installing it on production machines or the main computer in a home setting. If you don't want to beta test, then quit downloading beta software.
With latest driver do you mean the latest Vist64 driver (beta 1) or the latest driver for WinXP64? Cause the beta 1 driver does not seem to work.

Cyberian: As I posted earlier today. Download the latest Creative x64 driver, uninstall the soundcard in device manager, install the downloaded x64 driver, reboot. That's how I got the sound to work on Vista x64 on my system.

You can get the Kx Project Release for Audigy Cards that will make them work in Vista Here http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/down.php?language=en
Download and install this version Version 5.10.0.3537
Its a little quirky but it will install and it does work.. You may get an error that says cant initialize audio card but you'll notice the windows alert beep coming through your speakers when it happens. Movies Games and all other sounds work great.
Good Luck

"werD" wrote in message Uh.. I have an Audigy 2 ZS and got it to work fine.. Yes Creatives Driver Sux but thats expexted when theyre writing them for an evolving OS.. Go out to the "World Wide Web" That thing that your pc plugs into that you get the porn and the Apple Propaganda from and type Kx Project into the google. It will take you to a nifty little Community that writes drivers for Audigy Cards.. And Yes it works in vista, its a little quirky but you can listen to yourself play minesweeper and all day.. tard
