Fortunately somebody might have figured it out already, he writes the

This Manual uninstall method is quite complex and isn’t suited for most
users. Always backup your valuables, registry etc. If it goes wrong, don’t
blame me. It’s worth noting too that UAC should be disabled, in case anyone
out there is crazy enough to be using it. I don’t recommend this way -it’s
really a last resort thing.
1) Firstly begin by totally uninstalling anything with the Creative tag on
it.
Control Panel > Control Panel Home > Programs > Uninstall a program
2) Next we need to remove any tricky start up entries, again anything
Creative must go.
Control Panel > Control Panel Home > Programs > Change startup programs
3) Now we need to remove Creative registry entries, and there’s quite a few.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Creative Tech
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Creative Tech
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Creative Tech
HKEY_LOCAL_Machine\Software\ASIO
4) Remove these files/folders:
C:\Windows\System32\BMX*.rfx
C:\Windows\System32\Data
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Data *(64-bit only)
C:\Windows\{*.BAK
C:\Windows\{*.CDF *Under Vista, requires additional actions to be
successfully deleted, see below.
C:\Windows\CTDCRES.DLL
C:\Windows\System32\cttele32.dll
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CTOSS2K.SYS
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CTSFM2K.SYS
C:\Program Files\Creative (delete whole folder)
C:\Windows\CTXFIRES.DLL
C:\Windows\CTPRES.DLL
C:\Windows\Updreg.EXE
To remove .CDF files, type the following two commands in the Command Prompt
(requires Admin Privileges or UAC disabled)
takeown /f C:\Windows\*.CDF
and
cacls C:\Windows\*.CDF /G User:F
User is your username, which must have admin rights. Answer Y (yes) to
confirm the changes.
Now close the prompt, open Windows Explorer and delete the files with
filenames like these:
{00000005-00000000-00000002-00001102-00000004-20021102}.BAK
{00000005-00000000-00000002-00001102-00000004-20021102}.CDF
After all of this, restart and begin to install your software. I noticed
that after using this method, my Creative driver packages would install much
quicker. It even solved a few little bugs I was having. Bonus.
