Not trying to defend Creative in any way - but the last I've heard, they are not in the best of financial situations. Might explain the lack of support. Maybe there aren't so many people left in the company to support their legacy.

Yes, that is correct.� All of the links are non-functional. I went there yesterday to download all the latest OS and Command-prep data, to upgrade all of my modules.� No joy whatsoever.

The ridiculous statement along the lines of� 'no support offered any more' Creative get-out clauses, are also shameful, if not totally criminal.
How much does it cost to keep a data base functioning, as an important resource and a� 'thank you' to a loyal customer base.?�

I suppose they expect user groups to provide user support from now on? Typical sleazy business 'practices'!�

A cynical and fraudulent organisation not fit for purpose!

�With my 2 x Proteus 2500's, Virtuoso, and XL7 alone, I've spent almost �4,000.00
(Yes... Four Effing Thousand Quid!!) � (plus more investment in loads of extra Rom cards) and I also have a Carnaval..

Creative?�

Creative effing sleazy rip-off!

Oooops. I spoke too soon.� Evidently the links do not work--at least the one I tried didn't.� Here's what I got (not sure if its my internet that's messing up or their server):
