I have a Dxr3 Decoder and my problem is that PC DVD Software is not responding on windows XP when i insert a DVD title. When the drive is empty it works fine. I use the Win2K Beta driver from Creative. PowerDVD works fine. I think that Creative should make a Win XP driver or reconstruct the software soon because i'm very close to throw my dxr3 card out of the window (the real one).

I too have the same problem with WinXP and Creative DXR3 card. I tried a fresh install of XP (Not upgrade), and can't even install the Creative player. The installer can't find the card (Using the Win2k beta drivers). On solution is to use the drivers for the Realmagic Hollywood+ drivers and software. The are the same card just with a different bios. You will also need "zone select" in order to bypass the bios check. Other than that they work fine. The software also plays sVCD and MiniDVDs. :-)

If Any One Find's Drivers For The DXR3 For Win XP Please Forward Thank You

Mark.. (reply 8) suggested using the Hollywood Magic Drivers... same card, different logo. But (for me) this does not work due, I suspect, to the id of the card versus the signature of the driver. Mark, did this work for you? If so, what steps did you take to install and get round the apparent copatibility problems. ta, glk

According to an EMAIL from Creative today: Drivers and updates for XP will be available from late October onwards. Cheers, Alex Customer Support Creative Labs (Australia) which at least leaves some hope! glk

I've been searching for drivers for windows xp for my SBlive 5.1, and I ran into a website that will provide you with the updates to make it all work. If your in need of SBLIVE Drivers for Windows 2000 and XP, XP PRO, goto the link I posted below. The file is a little over 16MB, and please make sure that you follow the directions listed on that page for installation. Hope this helps you out guys. As for DXR3 Drivers, I have not yet found any, if anyone finds any before me, Please let me know, thanks : ) ACE LINK: http://alive.singnet.com.sg/drivers/

Response 13 is the right way! Adding a XP region-free software/patch (like Remote Selector, possibly next release - remember XP is VERY NEW! Let time to crack development!) wich bypasses Dxr3 ROM and all will works great!

No DX3 under Windows XP, that's true. I've used the Windows 2000 beta drivers and it works fine. No hangs so far. I'm waiting on the XP drivers, anyways... Alex

i do not use my Dxr3 card any more , coz there is no drivers for it to work with windows XP .

OK kiddies listen up. I got me a DXR3 paperweight also, I am using win2k right now and i am gonna upgrade to XP soon, however there are no goddamn drivers for this P.O.S. card that Creative pulled out of their ass. Anyway if anyone comes into contact with drivers that actually function, not those bootleg other company drivers that forced me to reinstall windows ok, no matter what i do it gives me a fatal blue screen of death error in windows2k trying to install those bootleg fake drivers. If anyone has any suggestions I'll check my mail here at school on blizroms@hotmail.com or blizroms@eden.rutgers.edu, please I implore you respond ASAP if you have any ideas, thanks again. "The King Of All Jackass's has spoken" l8ters!

Roger that, Skipper. I, too, would like some info if drivers become available.

Creative has a Win XP driver schedule on their website for Sound Cards and Web Cams (with some drivers having already been release for Audigy, SB Live 5.1, and some SB Live). The address is http://www.creative.com/support/winxp/ I'm using the SB Live 5.1 drivers and it works fine. I'm still looking for Encore 12x w/ Dxr3 drivers. If anyone see them, can you email me at ussjamie@hotmail.com

I have just installed windows XP and sure enough the DXR2 card was not picked up. However, I used the WDM driver (for Win98SE2) which also works with Win2K, and it picked up the card fine. I had to re-install the creative software that came with this driver. Using Remote Selector (1.7x) [from www.visualdomain.net] I can start the software with any region and it works fine, as does the TV OUT. No crashes. These WDM drivers are available from the Creative web-site and are the Win98 SE2 drivers. Also download the latest player software. Not sure about the DXR3, though I've heard you can use the H+ drivers to get it working. Fiz.

Heh! it's funny how Creative doesn't put anything about xp and dxr2 anywhere... I can be notified of sound card, or web cam updates. other creative families will be forthcomming.. b---tards, They've had at least 6 months to beta test all thier crap with xp. Please let there be some little 15 year old punk out there who can crack the driver.. The only reason I have that card is to watch it on tv... xp stands for xtreemly pissed

0

Well sure enough after my little rant, I followed in Fiz' footsteps (post 25) installed the dxr2 driver with the 98wdm driver. then installed the creative player, then the Remote Selector (1.7x) [from www.visualdomain.net] ran remote selector first.. then brought up the creative software... MY TV THANKS YOU FIZ!!

Hey everyone, u sure that creative will get us the xp drivers, because windows xp is so cool. But i got a Dxr2! THAT ISNT WORKIN RIGHT!! IT DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS . AND WHEN I TRY TO INSTALL THE DRIVERS IT SAYS IT CANT INSTALL THEM!! .

Bloody Creative! Where the hell are these drivers for the Dxr3 XP/os. Its the first of November!!!!

0

DXR2 Users with Windows XP. Download the latest dxr2 player software (I say latest but these were released about 2 years ago!) ftp://ftp.europe.creative.com/pub/creative/drivers/cdrom/dvdewup.exe When you extract the files, there will be a driver directory. Use the WDM driver in XP, believe it or not it works! The card should be picked up fine. Install the player software from the download. User Remote selector if you have multi-region dvd's. Both me and rcode71 have got this working with no problems. Remember, install the WDM driver NOT Win98 or WINNT drivers!! Fiz.

0

No XP dirvers yet!!!! What is all that Xperience s--- stand for, no support for the blody dxr3 card, no directX support for the voodoo2 accelerator, I like the OS, but I still have to dualboot... hope creative ships those drivers soon, guess I shouldn't relay on this asholes anyway, I'll just buy new gear.

How does someone actually install the WMD drivers for the dxr2 when using Windows XP? I right click on the file called "CTENCWDM" inside the WDM folder, and I have an option to choose "install." But when I do, nothing changes. Can someone show me what I'm doing wrong? Fiz, oh clever one, are you still out there? Have mercy on a technologically slow guy like me. Thanks in advance, Holland

0

Update: I faked out Windows XP told it during the "Add Hardware Wizard" that I "Have disk" and then made Windows XP pick up the WDM driver on my hard disk. The bad news: it still won't work. The device will not start up... grumble. I'm using an IBM 450 MHz Pentium III. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Hollando

Here's just another addition to all the other users who aren't happy with Creative Labs. DVD is a very popular product, especially now, you would think they would have a driver by now. But after hours and hours of experimenting, I did manage to do a half a** job in installing the DXR3 on windows XP, it may work better for you guys out there. Download the Windows 2000 drivers from www.creativelabs.com and install them FIRST!!. Second, run the PC-DVD program and it should install successfully. However, you might experience the same problems running it as I did. First of all, if you are running PC-DVD through the analog audio channel, the audio will be very distorted. Or if you have a Sound Blaster Live card, and you run the audio through the 4-point surround sound, you may not get any audio at all, at least when I tried it. Either way, I got picture but no sound. Give it a try and post your results, perhaps we could help each other because I gave up on Creative Labs, they're no help!

Installed the beta W2K Dxr3 drivers with an Encore 5 x player, looked good but still wouldn't work. XP kept giving me an error report on startup (until I disabled the dxr3 driver again) and it's childish easy to hang up the PC-DVD program.

0

In reply to Hollando (Response 32 and 33): The best thing to do is go to Device manager. (Right Click my computer, Properties, Hardware and Device Manager) If you have the DXR2 board listed but with a yellow exclamation, then delete the device. Re-boot to let XP pick it up again and install these drivers (from Device Manager). If there is an unknown device called 'Multimedia Video device...' then update the driver for that device (using the have disk method). In both cases, point to the WDM directory. The Add Hardware wizard is no good as you are forcing it to find hardware. It should already exist in Device Manager, albeit as an unrecognised device. By installing the drivers against the unrecognised device you should have better luck. Failing that, not sure what else to try. Maybe it's a combination of IBM crappy hardware with a sub standard (even by Microsofts standards) o/s. Oh and the unsupported DXR2 board from Creative should get a mention ;-)

Creative's offical responce to me is: Creative Labs is not currently in a position to provide complete technical support for installation or operation of our products in the Microsoft Windows XP operating system. However, Windows XP contains built in driver support for a number of our products. Since Creative Labs does not have downloadable drivers specifically tested for compatibility with Windows XP, our recommendation is to use Windows XP default drivers with products that are recognized. We have created a page on our web site to keep customers informed about our Windows XP driver release schedule: http://www.americas.creative.com/support/files/xpdrivers.asp?Centric=109

I have the same problem as all you guys!! Dxr3 with winxp and WHALLA not working!!! I'm am a huge creative supporter but lately I'm not quite sure anymore!! Please guys help us out here!!! Thanks Gargoyle (ZA) (please let me know if you find the drivers)

Got my dxr3 working almost perfectly in xp. Went to the holywood+ website and downloaded the newest drivers and software for xp. Then went to dvddigest and downloaded the buil 4.11 of zone selector. To install the drivers i went to add new hardware, sound and multimedia devices then have disk. Windows tells you that they are not certified or something but we know better than windows do we not? After the drivers and a reboot i installed the software but didn't run it. To play DVD's load up zone selector, point to where the holywood dvd player software is and load up the dvd from inside zone. Sorted. The first time I played a dvd there was no picture but worked after a reboot. The best thing is i prefer the software from realmagic to that of creative anyway! And i can probably use the realmagic serial remote which rules btw... Hope this helps.

I am running windows Xp and also can not get my DXR3 card working. I recently emailed the idiots at creative and here is there response. William, I have not seen any information regarding the development or release projection of the XP DxR3 drivers. You may want to try looking in our DVD (MMUK) news group. I have seen a number of users who have found easy work arounds for getting their DxR3 to work in XP. This would be all well and good if my newsgroup server allowed me to get there.

I posted to this website...http://www.europe.creative.com/joinin/forums/thread.asp?thre=10659&foru=35&page=3 under moe05, these people are trying to rally up alot of others to force creative to make some win Xp drivers. I think that if we all post our disgust, creative will budge and make some, tell everyone you know who needs win xp drivers for the dxr. And lets email creative asking them to make drivers.

DXR3 AND XP - IT WORKS ! I have a creative DXR3 and WinXP - I followed the guide word for word on the page below and now it works perfectly - (only difference was that I got the hollywood xp drivers) http://apachez.hn.org/purpleman/dxr3hp.html

Hey FIZ / or anyone: I followed your instructions, but when i point to WDM directory and click ok, WinXP says: "The Specific location does not contains information about your hardware". It picks up the card as Unknown Multimedia device, and also removed the device and rebooted xp, and through device mananger i clicked on the device to Update Drivers, Manually install drivers, then Have Disk, and WDM directory, but then i get that message... any solution?

haris I've had the exact same problem. Hopefully, someone has a solution.

Out of all the ppl who have managed to get this to work under XP; How many of you have the file 'winaspi32.dll' in your system(32) folder(s)??? How many don't??? -dave

You guys are crazy... Installed drivers from here... http://www.sigmadesigns.com/support/download_hollywood_plus_win2000.htm (only the drivers, not the app) Installed creative's dvd player software from CD. All works fine and I'm currently watching Army of Darkness. WMP pops up everytime I drop a DVD in the drive but other than that not a problem. Running Windows XP with an older Creative 8x DVD drive and the infamous DXR3 decoder card.

we are talking about the Dxr2... I don't know if this has to do with anything, but i just realized that i have installed the updates for winXP recently... may be thats why??? im also desperate to go for a dual boot.... just wanna play dvds with dxr2 so i can watch them on my tv... dave: i didn't find the 'winaspi32.dll' on my computer - any folder... whats your theory about it ?

0

After installing the WDM driver for my Dxr 2 XP recognised the hardware and I got the software to load up fine and the TV out fine, but I don't get any sound. Obviously loading the file not in the software they are OK but when I try to watch on TV they don't work. I haven't done anything to my machine since they worked fine in 2000, only installed XP. Can anybody help??

0

Fiz, your method of installation works... ftp://ftp.europe.creative.com/pub/creative/drivers/cdrom/dvdewup.exe and go to device manager and install the driver for the unknown video controller device.

RE: Response 46 (William Bates) If you get an MCI error, run task manager and look for a process called ctfmon.exe. If that is running, end it and then try playing the file again. I use a dxr3 board, but that works for me every time. Something about ending that process makes the MCI error go away. good luck

DXR3 works with XP The two solutions I know: 1. Follow the Instuctions on this link: http://apachez.hn.org/purpleman/dxr3hp.html. I works, but in this case your're not using the newest XP-Driver and the newest DVD-Station. The Driver and the Software is written for Win2000. May be there is trouble with XP. 2. Install the newest Hollywood XP-Driver and DVD-Station on this link: http://www.sigmadesigns.com/support/download_hollywood_plus_win2000.htm (both files, disk1 and disk2. The DVD-Station doesn't work with ZoneSelect. But if you're registered User of RemoteSelector use the Vers. 1.79. of Erwin van den Berg on this link: http://www.visualdomain.net/. It works very fine and I think it's the best Solution. The only Problem, you've to pay $14 USD for registration. I hope my comment helps you. Sorry for my bad english. I'm a german guy.

my suggestion is that either creative makes new drivers for the dx3 (which i also own and can't use, thanks Microsoft!) or microsoft needs to make a patch for windows xp to support the old drivers!!!!

Soy otro mas que necesita los drivers para utilizar dvd encore dxr2 de Creative bajo Windows XP. gracias

0

Windows XP doesnt work with certain hardware because the legacy code that is in os's like win98 and winme that made it unstable has been taken out. therefore win xp will not allow dodgy software drivers like those supplied with the dxr3 card. im still waiting for a decent version of the drivers for my winxp install, as at the moment the beta drivers from creative cause my computer to blue screen with a stop error every single time after installing.

0

I am one of the many unlucky ppl that have a Dxr2 card and 5x Player, and now that Creative have released the Dxr3 drivers I am wondering as to whether we are able to use these drivers with the Dxr2 board, or is it just that the board is old creative is basicly telling us that we should bugger off??? I am starting to get really annoyed with both Microsoft and Creative...hmm I should go linux that way the computer won't crash and there are drivers for the Dxr2 card as well. Tron.
