again very annoying ..

.. As usual with Creative; a per se (hardware) very good device is completely corrupted by the software. simply plugged only in Windows 7 x64 and everything works. However, once you want to install just the creative driver, the PC - without prompting - with a lot of scrap (which then also hangs and does not work) littered .. to system information from product registration to which nobody needs or wants. I want to install a dedicated driver, then I want the, and nothing else! this is an old suffering in creative and unfortunately (still) the same - there seem to learn something new NIE. So .. device to the PC - and stay away from the "Installation" CDs; then is quite ok; hardware box is great and can so far everything (analog & digital) that you need to include a PC (eg as tape2) in a plant!
(Amazon as (almost) always all right - device ok, but the few stars I forgive because of software anger; something - repeatedly - stupid with the software - makes just hours of work for nothing and everything gets not one more off in the normal way)
