If you turn Automatic Updates on, it should load in less than a day or so of leaving your computer on. Or you could go to Microsoft Update and let it install from there. After that, I would go to the sound card web site and download the latest driver . . . should work.

I disabled my on-board sound card and installed a Creative Audigy PCI card. I have installed many soundcards over the years but ran in to an basic problem with the latest card. When I attempt the software install from the supplied CD, it eventually asks me to insert the XP HE path that contains service pack 2. I have no CD for my OS, the PC came with XP HE already installed . The install attempt fails the first time, when I try it a second time the XP service pack question does not come up and I get a "installed successfully" message. After a reboot, the new "hardware detected " comes up, the soundcard drivers are not installed successfully. I have been to busy at the office to get home in time to call Creative's help line. Anyone have any ideas how I get the service pack 2 stuff ? Maybe it is on my HD somewhere ? Andy K3UK
