Just upgrade my graphics card from the Nvidia GTX 280 to the GTX 650TI. Now the sound card Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatality Pro will not work. I have uninstalled all of the software and drivers and reinstalled them when windows detected the sound card. That did not work. Can Anyone Help?
SoundBlaster stopped working

Try uninstalling the drivers for the GTX650Ti and then re-install using the "clean install" option. Choose custom (not express or auto) and choose which features you want installed. Make sure you DO NOT select the graphics card HD Audio feature (probably creating conflict with SoundBlaster)
Thank you very much, I did this and it worked. The only problem is that after you reboot windows 7 automatically installs the HD Audio feature with the windows update. How do I turn off the auto feature with the windows update? So should I just disable the drivers?
Thanks

Try just disabling the drivers. If that doesn't work set windows update like this:
Control Panel-> System and Security-> Windows Update-> (on left side bar) Change Settings: In the Grey settings bar select the "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" option. This will mean you will need to keep an eye on the Action Center and from now on I suggest only downloading the "Important Updates". Browse the suggested updates and choose any you feel you need (by clicking the 'check box') as they appear (obviously don't download the video and audio drivers suggested by windows).
