By the way...I will never give another cent to Creative Labs...I have never seen such rot. I bought two different boards from them. In both cases the installation is screwy and doesn't follow ANY of the standards that are considered normal...like progress bars to let you know install hasn't hung up, and also the fact that I end up wildly different software after each install...of the SAME installation CD.
And to top it off, just try going to their web site and getting a download or an online manual. Half the time they redirect you to nonexistent/broken web pages, or take forever to load...
No, I agree with you on that, I am through supporting this kind of crap, and will spread the word whenever I get a chance. I just meant that SINCE I have the thing...and have made it work before, I want to get it to work now.
