Installed Win 7 RC x64 yesterday. Installed the new X-Fi drivers. everything went fine. restarted the PC and windows says no x-fi detected.

removed the drivers, restarted, BSOD's on startup.


booted in to safe mode cleaned all creative drivers, restart PC and BOOT MGR is missing.

reinstall Win 7 RC x64, and still no X-Fi in Device Manager. Installing drivers says no compatible hardware found.

Using X-Fi Xtreme Music, changed the PCI slot too. that didn't work. still no luck. running out of ideas here.

UPDATE: putting the damn SOC back in the PCI slot it did not work in and removing the speaker jacks made it get recognized and let the driver install. Makes me wonder what the problem was, maybe having the sub on the carpet , maybe a grounding issue or something ?

Silly X-Fi. I've seen them do weird things about detection...
