just in case any one didn't know if you have kaspersky internet security 2012 you can upgrade to 2013 for free just use existing reg key
you may already know but just trying to help out
and yes it works fine with win 8 pro 64 bit
thank you for reply i have now sorted it in the end it was bad version of realtek driver upgraded to r270 and now have no problems i needed that to get the creative console to find my sb xfi
sadly i use itunes but since my upgrade to win 8 pro video play back is unwatchable (choppy) have latest CCC and drivers music plays fine any one else have this issue or can some one shed any light on it
thanks in advance
