I take it the Console Launcher is only for the latest cards - I can't install that for my Xfi Xtrememusic card. I guess I'll have to be a little more patient

One can get all of these updates (official, not beta obviously) from just running the Creative Updater correct? If so I will do that, as it has been a month or so since I have last run it.

[rajputwarrior]

same rule applies to creative cards as does ati cards. if the drive works for you as is, don't update. you are only asking for trouble...

[Raa]

Certainly not the case for my cards i've owned. Newer drivers have provided more features in some cases, so updating is strongly recommended.

the PAX X-Fi PCIe Titanium All-OS-Driver V3.55 have been working great for me. i'm not touching a new driver until i have to

Same here. I have not had an issue with any Creative drivers since like 2007 actually.
Now of course I am going to have issues with the next drivers I install, Murphys Law FTL.

For some reason the autoupdater client no longer seems to work for me here, when I launch it I get a dialogue box saying "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'switch to' to activate the busy program and correct the problem" there is a choice of switch to or retry (Cancel is greyed out) hitting retry does nothing and hitting switch to just opens the start menu!

Going to the website is even worse, choosing the option to auto check for software autoupdate gives an error about Vista not being supported, I am running Win7 Pro x64

That said I have installed the SBXF_PCDRVBETA_US_2_18_0015 drivers as I have a X-Fi XtremGamer Fatal1ty Pro card and found that the popping I was getting before has gone, so these are good for me

[edit]
Just read Raj's post above, I might give those Pax drivers a look at a later date.
