Upgrading drivers from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 for X-Fi Elite Pro
G'Day everyone, first post here!
Have recently upgraded my OS from Windows Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate N. I have been having some driver issues. My first instinct was to upgrade my sound drivers to the latest windows 7 ones. So I removed the vista ones and downloaded the Windows 7 ones from Creative. However the latest drivers had components of the whole original kit missing (such as THX Console, which is important!!) and I couldn't for my life think why.
I originally bought my computer and X-Fi Elite Pro in August 2008, run on Logitech Z-5500's and I have not had a SINGLE hiccup whatsoever on Windows Vista. Every component of the sound card worked and worked bloody well. Never had driver issues at all (rare I guess!) With my original purchase came the latest Vista drivers at the time for installing on CD. I still have those CD's but am wondering if it is worth using this CD to install all the components (would that work given it's a vista CD?) and then running and update to get the latest drivers for windows 7....or is it a different procedure? I have had a very good search around various forums and what not trying to find the exact solution to my problem but despite lots and lots of round-about advice, I'm still a bit unsure as to how to get everything installed again just like it was from my Vista CD.
Any ideas and help would be appreciated.
