Audigy + WDM Drivers = Disaster?

Posted by Cliff on Monday November 19, 2001 @09:45AM from the hardware-that-just-refuses-to-work dept.

Matt Pollard asks: "Help! I have an Audigy. I have tried it in Windows Millennium with three sets of WDM drivers. I have tried it in Windows XP with three different sets of WDM drivers. I sent the card back to NewEgg and got a new one. I tried it with a new set of drivers in XP. I tried it in my friend's box with the new drivers. I tried it in different PCI slots. every time, a hard freeze. Creative tech support has been...less than useful." Has anyone been able to get the Audigy to work under later versions of the Windows OS? If so, what was the trick?

hehe that old problem. The problem is that the SB Liveware drivers install so many keys to the registry that the max registry size is overflowed. On 2k you just tell it to use a larger max size for the registry, don't remember the fix for 9x though.
