thanks for that, but i've already been there. creative in their wisdom only allow you to download an updater, which means you have to do an install of out of date drivers from the cd and then update to the latest ones. unless i'm being really stupid, i cannot find what i need on their site. if you can see it, please let me know - thanks! fiev Show quoteHide quote "Pen" <nospam@nospam.com> wrote in message news:IqydnV9oHde7ks3fRVn-jQ@adelphia.com... > Go here; > > http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp > > > > "Fiev" <notacha***@noisp.com> wrote in message > news:d2p1tt$i04$1@news.freedom2surf.net... >> hi >> >> is there anyone out there who can do me a copy of the soundblaster extigy >> driver cd. i've lost mine and i think it's a con that creative don't let >> you download drivers for free like every other manufacturer around! >> >> thanks in advance >> >> fiev >> > Have you tried

It did work once upon a time, I don't know if it still does though or if the installer was updated to check for existing drivers. -- Nobody ever lost money underestimating the human intelligence. -- P.T.Barnum DevilsPGD wrote:

Their naming system for the downloadable drivers is really goofy. Creative names almost all their downloadables with the word "update" or "updater" in it. With the SB16 and SBLive "update" drivers, I've installed these on totally clean installs of Win98SE and WinXP without having to even touch the CD. Good thing too, as I misplaced my SBLive CD some time back. I've a pretty good idea where it probably is, but I don't really want to dig it out unless I have to, and so far, I haven't had to. It's a bare install, so no CD player or sound editing stuff that you'd find on the CD, but most people already have other programs that do that stuff anyways. Can't hurt to try it if you haven't already. --------------------------------------------- MCheu In message <d2p1tt$i0***@news.freedom2surf.net> "Fiev"
