My XP HE cant install Soundblaster 5.1 Digital. The
hardware cannot be installed. Wrong data. What is it that
hinder XP from installing the card. The meter goes from
left to right, but in the end it can´t be installed. The
card is alright because the shop has tested it. I´ve also
tried another PCI-slot with the same result. I don´t want
to reinstall XP, I want to find out what is it that stops
XP from installing the card.

Raoul, did you install the Creative WinXP Drivers? I use a Sound Blaster
Live Value with no problem.

The soundblaster 5.1 digital is an OEM sound card that
is not supported by Creative Tech. The drivers must be
installed from the CDROM disk that came with the card.
To verify this look on the soundcard for a ctxxxx or sbxxxx
and go to creative's driver download and see if they
have a driver for your particular card.......This has nothing
whatsoever to do with Windows XP.....

The _sound blaster live value_and the _sound blaster live 5.1
digital_ are two completely different cards.
