Win2k user here how to get the newer 5.1 LW3 applications to work on NoN 5.1 cards, but the CL Launcher will not work "HANG" so you need unistall LW3 you have now this for thoses with the NoN 5.1 cards only. 1: Frist Close all LW3 apps frist then you remove from the Device Manager under "Sound, video and games controllers" "Creative SB Live! (WDM)" or "Creative SBLive! Value (WDM)" and the "Game Port Creative SB Live!" rigth click uninstall. 2: Start | Control Panel | Add-Remove Programs look for "Sound Baster Live!" or "Sound Baster Live! Value" uninstall everything yes drivers to. 3: Open Windows Explorer go to ?:\WINNT\inf click on the that folder then click on Search type in Containing text box "SB Live" without quotes then you see a few Oem[x].inf del them before you reboot & be sure to empty Recycle Bin "DO NOT DEL wdma10k1.inf". 4: Del the folder Program Files\Creative 5: Reboot it should reinstall buildin drivers if not don't worry about. 6: Download the SBLive! 5.12.01.3219 WDM drivers unzip and run upddrv2k.exe click yes to the not driver signing if it popup them wait a few min's before reboot. 7: Download the SBLive! 5.1 Series LW Package for Win2k it should be Date: 010417 17,648,261 bytes Sound Blaster Live! 5.1SBL5-WEB-W1-US Save any were you like, run SBL51_W2k.exe it will unpack it self in same folder. 8: Open notepad add the line "sbl51 /w" without quotes save as run.batin same folder where it unpack the the drivers & applications then dbl click on run.bat and install be sure to Click NO to overwirte any drivers and reboot.
