Grab the updated packages that you require from any of the Cooker mirrors.
You can find a list of those sites on the Mandrake web pages. I would
imagine that VMWare requires 3.3.4 or later, so don't worry if the only
thing you can find is 3.3.5.

No idea there... Does Creative offer support for their drivers? Maybe a
newsgroup?

Then why run VMWare?! :) Seriously, there was a technical support FAQ on
the VMWare website that covered this issue. Try a search through there to
see if anything pops up.
