Creative Goes After DanielK over his modded drivers - Page 2

X-Fi drivers to correct issues with 4Gb RAM based on Prelude's latest drivers were render useless with creative's own buggy driver update. They did the same with Dell DTS file mod. They are also making a fuss about donations as they deem he solicit donations for providing packages like those, he is profiting from something that he does not not own. ( better ask Robert to stop since Creative might sue him as they have finish using the money from suing the fruit) What else would they not make a fuss about? If they are losing sales due to better support of their old products then their new ones must look attractive and not coming down on modders. However their poor marketing and lousy customer support is well know so you can't blame ppl from shying away. You can't earn profits by just suing people and not make better products.

Robert I think putting back features is fine. Like I say people are piss because the card is not functioning as it should be in Vista. The support is terrible and they make it clear that their forum is not a support forum. And yet they are putting their nose where it shouldn't be. I was hoping you can get your X-Fi Vista drivers ready as well as the new software.

Can't help but agree with you. Now they're starting with the M$ style scare tactics and gestapo tactics.

Based on this, on my next sound card purchase I will think long and very hard about going Creative Labs.
