heres whats happening:

i have just recently reinstalled windows w/ a boot disk that some guy made for me. the copy of windows on this boot disk has some problems, like spyware and such. I have got rid of the spyware, and now a new problem has come into play: the sound isnt working. i need a creative soundblaster live! value driver, but when i download it, the process get to the end, then stops . can anyone find the right driver for me?

(not from the creative website, cuz thats the one that hasnt been working)

if you need to know, i have windows xp pro.

thanx for helping

Well Here's my suggestion..

Completely uninstall the Creative software.
Go to the device manager and choose uninstall for your sound card..

Reboot. let XP install the card. with default drivers.. now use the latest Creative drivers.

You do not need a boot disk for Windows XP as the cd auto boots. The only correct driver for the Soundblaster Live Value is from Creative here...

sorry wrong term

sorry, i had the wrong term. it wasnt a boot disk. it was a cd with a ghost image of windows xp pro which had programs that he thought i could use


this sound thing is beginning to be a problem.. i installed the drivers, but the thing is still not recognizing that there is a device ... im not sure what to do now
