There are 2 basic kinds of PCI128's that are based on 2 different chips actually. If you could tell us what chipset it is based on, IT would be a bit easier to help you with your problem.

woops, Well.. I bought it as a SB PCI128 but
in windows 2000 pro it recognizes it as a "Creative AudioPCI(ES1370), SB PCI 64/128(WDM)" so im guessing it uses the 1370 chip.

First make sure that you actually have the 1370 chip by opening up your machine and looking at the card. Then get the Win2k driver here:

Should do you better than the default drivers. Make sure to download the Win2k driver file after you get the install program. Creative's got really stupid and complex install instructions so be carefull

Ps - If you've installed any of the Creative junk that came on the cd you'll probably want to remove before you install the drivers from the site.
