Creative Labs Audigy SE sound card driver installation woes "Bill Ross" <billross[ at ]norisksoftware.com> 10/27/2008 10:55:45 PM Hi, I'm a fellow fool who bought XP64 and regretted it ever since because of the endless compatibility issues. My latest nightmare... I bought a Creative Labs Audigy SE sound card which had an XP64 driver which installs fine in Safe Mode but will not run if not in Safe Mode. Currently, the card is listed in the device manager with a yellow exclamation point. I am assure that it is compatible but I have spent many hours doing the various clean boot, uninstall and reinstall activities that Creative Labs has suggested. Is there an explanation? Thanks, Bill Ross

If so, you must disable that before installing your new driver, usually it just plain doesn't work with both enabled, but sometimes you get unpredictable results! Tony. . .

Re: Creative Labs Audigy SE sound card driver installation woes "Bill Ross" <billross[ at ]norisksoftware.com> 11/4/2008 2:32:49 PM I spent way too much time on this card. (And yes, the onboard audio was disabled). I just returned it. Thanks, Bill "Tony Sperling" <tony-sperling-at-dbmail-dk> wrote in message news:esVZHgJOJHA.1552[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl...
