Getting Liveware 3.0 to work with XP!
This is a discussion about Getting Liveware 3.0 to work with XP! in the Windows Hardware category; You can install Liveware 3. 0 for Windows 2000 on XP. The only catch is you need to replace the DEVLDR32. EXE with the version that comes on your copy of XP (i386/drivers. cab). Expand the cab and find DEVLDR32.
You can install Liveware 3.0 for Windows 2000 on XP. The only catch is you need to replace the DEVLDR32.EXE with the version that comes on your copy of XP (i386/drivers.cab). Expand the cab and find DEVLDR32.EXE and copy it to a temp folder. Then boot XP into safe mode. Run the task manager and click the processes tab to make sure DEVLDR32.EXE isn't running. If it's running end the process. Then you can just copy the XP version of DEVLDR32.EXE to the /WINDOWS/SYSTEM32 folder and replace the Creative Labs version.
This fix remedies the system stall you will encounter when trying to shutdown or reboot. All the functions of Liveware will work properly.
Hope this helps

OP
The solution Mwork provided lets you use the updated Emu10K1M.sys file. This is a much better driver than the old so I say scrap installing Liveware 3 like I previously said and follow the instructions below.
To get your SoundBlaster Live to work properly in Windows XP do the following:
DRIVER: http://www.soundblaster.com/scripts...i/SBL51_W2k.exe
NOTE: You can use this driver for any version of the SoundBlaster Live sound card. (Value, MP3, 5.1..ect)
Just follow the instructions below.
1) Make sure you are running the SBLive drivers(M$Driver.) that XP installed.
If you have already installed previous Liveware software go to Control Panel/Add/Remove programs and remove it.
2) Make new folder on your c: or D: drive and name it "sblive".
3) Put SBL51.EXE, SBL51.W02, SBL51.W03 and SBL51WDM.LIB files in the sblive folder.
4) Go to the Device Manger/Sound, video & game controllers and remove:
Creative SB Live! (WDM) & Creative SB Live! Gameport drivers.
5) In a start/run box type - c: or D:\sblive\sbl51.exe /w <---the "/w" switch is very IMPORTANT!
6) When the installation prompts you to replace the RC1 drivers with the unsigned Creative Labs drivers
click "STOP". The installation will continue. (Sometimes you aren't prompted to install new drivers
but this is not a problem.)
7) When done installing the updated drivers - REBOOT
8) After booting to the desktop screen windows will detect new hardware. When it finishes REBOOT again.
9) Now you have sound!
If there is anything I missed or needs cleared up let's get these instructions as complete as possible.
