Stupid Windows Sp3

Postby alrot » Wed Jan 11, 2012 11:44 am

My machine was perfectly well ,In fact  haven't format my drive since 2009 ,then some new Software Game which I'm not allow to talk about it "Cough Cough Cough MSFLT"  ::) force me to install it ,Now I have all kind of issue s with some of my hardware

I have and old Creative Sound Blaster Live ,that vanished from my stock of hardwares and also some sounds software are not working  >:(

How can I revert SP3 to exactly like it was without using the restore ?

I think this is the sort of thing you're supposed to report to Microsoft. They should be able to come up with a fix.

Uninstall the existing drivers Alex and then download the latest release for your card from the Creative site. A lot of graphics drivers were updated for SP3 ;)

If you go into Control Panel, go to System (use classic view) and then into Hardware and then click on Device Manager.
Under the Display Adapters what does it say?

I've still got mine, but what I had to do in the end, was to buy a cheap

Sorry about that Alex, I had a bit of a brain fart last night and got fixated on graphics rather than audio cards. Don't know what happened there, major malfunction of the brain cell.
Many apologies :-[
