Creative Labs Audigy SE sound card driver installation woes

[Bill Ross]

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

I had a close relative to this card installed on my system once and it
worked fine - is there a chance that your motherboard has internal sound in
the chipset? 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!
