Well, my two day old Creative Labs X-fi died and took at least the registry with it, Win7 can't even recover more than basic operating operation and the registry and permissions all over the HD have been randomized… :mad: So I’m going to slick the drive and start over. The new folding core seemed to really be churning out before, averaged 7K~ish on a totally stock 6950. I know my output is not in the top 100, but this will be the first time I have not been folding at all for even a half day in the last ten years (less overseas deployments). Be back in a day, wish me luck! :)
 
Creative products have always seemed vindictive to me.
 
good luck. I'm a bit surprised a piece of dying hardware took out your registry, but I've had my fair share of issues with Creative software as well.

I know this is not GM forum, but is the title to spicy for here? I'll change it if so...

I promise you, it's the nicest thing I said last night- I was on the last page of a paper that is now going to be late (-10% per day), and was up 'till after midnight just recovering most of my data. Turns out the Win7 backup on a USB is no good, I guess I'll use DVD's every other time or something next time.

That's a shame, althought understandable. For some reason, cussing can be as fun today as it was 20 years ago when I was still a kid.

Creative has absolutely the worst pieces of software i've ever seen including their drivers. They just recently released a new set of drivers for their PCIx X-FI lineup of sound cards after releasing a preview set back when windows 7 first came out.

I'm sorry to hear that, but at least you'll have a blank slate that is nice and clean. That is why I went with an Auzentech as you get the awesome X-Fi hardware, but at least it isn't Creative Labs........
 
My bad, I never would have thought of that word as rude enough, won't happen again. Getting to the point of reloading software again that I can at least see the 'net- SP1 in progress... And going to run some multimedia just to make sure it's not MB related...
