Peter, Unfortunately, due to the age of Win98SE, I am finding that you HAVE to use the supplied drivers from the company for the hardware products that get installed in most cases these days - especially with a very current product, such as the Audigy card I am trying to get fully and totally installed. I have found this to be the case with almost all products produced and released in the last couple of years. Since Win98 is not very much in the forefront of Microsoft these days, dont think they much care about these issues - all they seem to care about is that you get XP and that is all, no matter what version of windows you were using previously : -(
One thing I did find out over the weekend, after going to Creative' web site, in the support section, is that I apparently purchased one of the first releases of the card, due to the version number of the driver. So the tech I talked to sugguested that I call their customer services department, and get shipped the latest version of the software. I think, after what I had happen this weekend, that the drivers and related software for the Audigy itself might not be the problem, but one of the additional programs that I installed from the CD - for the iM Radio program. Unfortunately, I dont have their web site address, to see if they have an updated version of the program, and have not had a chance to search for the company's web site yet. Am going to see if I can find the info today, so will see if that solves any of the problems. Ralph Ralph, I have experienced many times problems with Creative Labs drivers since 1998 on NT4 to now with win2k and XP. The products I've worked with from them included the sound blaster 128 and 512, both products when used with drivers from the vendor acted up. Whereas using MS drivers functioned fine. It's happened for so long with successive releases that it seems as if it might not go away. Just my rant for the day :-) Peter Kaulback At 01:31 PM 1/25/2002 -0800, you wrote: >So Gerry, I am wondering if you have seen anything with regard to either >problem - too many system devices assigned to one IRQ, or the Creative Labs >Audigy card's related items - being a logical cause of my Win98SE >instabilty.
