I got one of these cards for a spare pc but i got it cheap because it was a show case one and they didnt have a box. I got some drivers for it windows sees it but it didnt install any program to control it. Any idea where i can get it?

If the card is not too old you can contact Creative and request a copy of the original CD!
I did this recently for an Audigy Platinum! I paid $10 to cover S&H.

Soundblaster Live! 5.1 - http://us.creative.com/support/download ... &x=22&y=11

all the apps and drivers are there - what else are you looking for? That filename doesnt tell me anything ;)

Same link I posted above is the one I used to get this. As long as the manufacturer offers the files, I would not go to a 3rd party to get other versions.

The software provided by creative are generally updates and cannot be used if you dont have the original drivers and or programs.
Thats why I ordered the disc!
3rd party software generally doesnt work as well, if at all.

Is he trying to use it under Vista?

Under Xp the driver should be included. Haven't found any Vista support I have a few of those.
