"I wrote down the driver name from the Device Manager before I formatted my customer's HD. I wrote down "Creative SB Live! Series (WDM)" The driver that DID work was version 5.12.1.203 dated 9/22/2003 . This is not that driver."

"Works well on W2k - thanks. After unzipping I ran upddrv2k.exe but nothing seemed to happen. I then told the wizard to look for upddrv2k.inf."
