Hi, i have been using windows server 2003 x64 for a long time now, but due to a college project, i had to install windows 7 (x86), so i could use directx10.
so basically everything went ok, except my audigy
in server2003, i used the softmod audigy es to x-fi, which worked really really great!
however, in 7, i wasn't able to get any driver working
windows drivers update downloads and installs drivers, but they fail to load.
x-fi softmod installed, but failed to load
official drivers from creative support don't install, because they say i don't have a compatible product
kx-project drivers say the same: i don't have a supported product
tried installed another 1 or 2 unofficial drivers, but none of them installs
tried installing the official creative drivers without using the installer (device manager-> update driver -> selected the folder containing extracted files), they installed, but again, don't load...
can anyone give me some help here?

thank you in advance

I have not used windows 7 myself. It sounds to me with all the drivers that you have tried you must be a somewhat experienced windows user so perhaps you have already tried reseating the card or moving to another slot?...
