Has not passed Windows Logo testing?

by destiny • 19 Feb 2010, 10:48 • Journals
I've formatted my PC last night and now I can't install my soundcard, tried to either use its original CD and go to creative's website and get the latest updated drivers from there, both ways didn't work for me.. my soundcard is Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS 7.1 (pretty old, bought it in like 2004)

The problem is that when I try to install it, it gets to the very end of the installation and then it asks me "Continue anyway?" or "STOP Installation!" - reason for this is:

QuoteThe software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP. (Tell me why this testing is important.)

This software will not be installed. Contact your system administrator.


If I click on "Continue anyway" it just freezes my PC after like 3 seconds and I can't do nothing but reboot.

QuoteSolution:
The message above is displayed because the driver you are using with your device is not Windows driver signed. For Microsoft® Windows® operating systems, Microsoft promotes driver signing for designated device classes. Windows 2000 and later versions of the operating system perform signature detection whenever an INF file is used to install hardware from a designated device class. Please click Continue Anyway to complete the installation of the software. National Instruments is currently evaluating driver signing and a list of the signed drivers are listed below.

At this point you should open Windows Device Manager and verify that the driver is associated with the hardware. If your card is not working and missing from this list, check to see if there is an entry with a yellow exclamation mark labelled "Multifunction Adapter", or something similar. If so, you can choose to update the driver and choose to select the appropriate driver from a list. After choosing the appropriate driver, this will now associate the card and driver together.

Try other drivers. Is it XP 32 bit of XP 64 bit? Also did you try to install it using the ini file?

I had a similar problem with my card a while ago, I have a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium, I tried all sorts of different ways then ended up installing in safe mode and it worked, using xp-pro by the way...
