Hello BigDaddy ! You are in the wrong forum try this link : http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=34 But i think you shut contact the vendor of your sound card or the shop where you purchase your sound card or your pc vendor ? PS: In your first post you wrote that you run WindowsXP Pro SP2 now you have change ito 2k3 ? Good Luck The-Matrix

Creative dos not work on win2k3 but i have read on where forum that when ms release windows xp pro 64 gold where will come creative driver for win2k3. But until they come with a driver what wilkl work use this one : http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/index.php?skip=1 it will work on the Creative Sound Blaster Serie and the Creativer Sound Blaster Audigy Serie here can you see the hole list of supported sound cards : http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/faq.php?language=en#cards

Sure with the nanny SP2 that made a lot of trouble for my home network (router) and the pc`s cot not see each other anymore and it make my internet connection much much more slower and a lot of my software programs was coming witherror messages and some stop workking in my opnion XP SP2 for novice and people where never have learn anything about where pc and for people that don`t have the time to learn or is not interesed in it in my opnion learing by doing is the best way to learn anything about it or in all other ways in life. I have change the letters to small.

Sure that is your opinion but i think windows server 2003 as a workstation work much much much much more stabile when XP Home i Don`t no about XP Pro i have never try it if ms made where end user OS as stabile as windows server 2003 as a workstation i don`t think where wouth be all problems where is with other version of Windows but this is only my opinion.

Yes i agree with you.

OK i guess i have to find the right driver package on the creative download sites or some other site !

I use Tunderbird to pop3 accounts and msn messenger to hotmail accounts.

Most of the error in the log is the same again and again and has to do with the system can`t find a special driver it need from my Creative Audiogy 2 CD but where was also a error log about my network driver and some from today to do with my problem with problem to find the right way to instal my printer driver. But i am 100% sure it is Creative Audiogy 2 driver error that is the problem. Have you any ide how i shall fix the problem with the what popup every time i restart my pc ?

It was not me that gave that advice to burn a iso image with SP1 into the installation CD so don`t blame me i cot my first PC 3 years ago so in most ways i am still a newbie.

Please help me to fix my error message ! best regards The-Matrix

Huh. I have installed service packs on Windows NT, 2000 and now 2003 for years and never had any problem doing so. Upgrading the OS from a different OS line (NT -> 2000, 2000 -> XP, etc) might prove shaky, but installing service packs is usually definitely not. Most often, it's not that different from installing a bunch of hotfixes. If you think administrators have nothing else to do than reinstalling from scratch every time a service pack is out, you're obviously either kidding me or ignorant. Pick one. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Couldn't have said it better myself. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As you may now have found out US english is not my first language so i don`t understand all meaning of all word in your language and another thing is i don`t understand much about the deeper meaning of PC so much and off all the fine IT words you all are talking about is like russian to me.

I have now Enabling DirectX and i also have turn windows audio startup automatic apply-> Start -> OK . but now my problems start LiveDrvUni-Pack for Win2K/XP dated 10th March 2003 for SB Live! card don`t work it says it where is no sound card what match the driver ? http://www.msfn.org/win2k3/sound.htm Lastly, we will need to go back into DirectX Diagnostics. Click on Start -> Run -> and type dxdiag followed by enter. This time, go to the Sound tab and move the slider on "Hardware Sound Acceleration Level" to Full Acceleration. Great! We have sound enabled, now go and grab a copy of Winamp and play some music to soothe yourself! :-) Not forgetting, if you have a SB Live! card like I do, you should grab the LiveDrvUni-Pack for Win2K/XP dated 10th March 2003. There is absolutely no need to extract and install the drivers manually, because the setup program works just fine on Windows Server 2003! What's next? Visual Styles on Windows Server 2003! Let's move on to the next section!
