Newbie needs help on installation on xp

cccp · Mar 28, 2003, 12:21 PM

I cannot figure out how to install the kx drivers on xp. I have a n Audigy 2 card and whenever I´ve installed the kx drivers windows keeps saying "new hardware found" on the first reboot. This leaves we with no sound. I´ve tried following the setup guide but there are a few things I don´t understand: 1, the guide asks you to unrar the drivers to a temp folder, but how do you unrar an exe-file?
Instead I´ve tried renaming the driver.cab file and the \winnt\inf\wdma10k1.inf file however I can´t find the \winnt\inf\wdm_emu.inf file anywhere on my system, and I can´t get these drivers to work!! Help me, I´m sick of creative´s drivers they cause xp to reboot.

Ok

First check which drivers you are actually using.
Look in control panel - system - Devices - Device manager - SoundVideoGame.

Is kx there? If it is not you have to update to kx driver (don´t install it again, it iprobably is on your system already, but unused). Doubleclick on Creative SBLive Series - Drivers - Update driver - from a list - do not search - and choose kx drivers if it is on the list you see now.

Which version do you use? 3530 works perfect (almost!) for me, 3528 had some problems.

Good luck!

Hmmm, I think I need to know how to manually install. How can I install from a list when all i have is the exe file? I can easy enough install the kx drivers but they only work till I make the first reboot, then windows tries to install its own drivers for the audigy and it is then I lose sound.

Nevermind the exe-file, you have already installed the drivers you say.

Just do the steps I wrote and Windows XP will show you a list of available
drivers for your card, and you choose the one you want.
I had the same problem as you and this made it work for me.
