My XP Home system will not load my CD Sound Blaster Live 5.1. I get SBL's flash screen,
but it disappears quickly. I have Tried Add/Remove Programs, direct Autoplay load;
with no luck. Who can tell me what to try, to get Sound Blaster Live to load ? Please
Help !!!

It's probably because the new versions of SBLive cards don't use the EMU10K1 chip,
so you need the newer drivers.

Forumembers! You people are the greatest of all time! Annoyances is the greatest!!
Oh, I own the Book! BUT, I am still the dummy! = I do not always state my
case CLEARLY! ..i.e.: I originally had Win98SE and installed SoundBlasterLive 5.1.
Everything was everything; kule...Then I Upgraded to XPHome, and alas, discovered
SoundBlasterLive did not function too well: (flashboxes indicated file corruption
blurbs, "could not locate", ad nauseum) So, I UNinstalled MOST of what I could locate
of SoundBlasterLive, [mistake!] and tried to do a "clean" re-install. BUT this is
where my glitch appeared. The SoundBlaster CD would NOT install, despite other AddPrograms
CDs functioning just fine! I tried the XP, Add and Remove, AutoPlay; tried dragging
open CDRW files to nearby temp(ad hoc) tree-folders, but Nothing would allow the
durned SoundBlaster CD to install. I really goofed up, didn't I? ...This Preview
reads more betterer. I am much too hasty with werdz, and don't talk goodly mostly,
but I try to get it acrost. "Communication is the burden of the speaker" -JF
Kennedy.
ps: Originally, by "load," I actually meant "clean install." I will try pretty much
anything suggested that appears appropriate. I am so grateful and duly impressed
at how prompt, concise and on point are the 'Noinces responses come alive! Thank
you all muchly; verily...Good Humor...
I remain,
Lame, but in yer debt, all y'all,
at My favorite website! ANNOYANCES....
