Dissappointed with Creative and their SBLIVE software.

[alkaline]

Im kinda disturbed that a company as big as Creative does not update their drivers to support those of us who use windows 2000 or the new windows XP. Windows 2000 has a little support from creative, but I dont have nearly the options I had when I was using my sound blaster live with windows 98. Does anybody know if Creative is planning on even supporting SBLIVE in XP? IT really stinks having paid lots of money for very expensive speaker set/soundcard that creative recommended, and then creative does not keep up with newer technology and support my investment. Their Creative Update is a joke. and I have yet to see a really good driver/configuration utility from creative for my soundblaster LIve card since windows98.

If anybody agrees or knows if creative is working on something for Windows XP, let me know.

Funny, I emailed creative about the same thing (XP support). They said "We don't support unleased or beta operating systems."

Trans.......Wait a bit - then we'll release something.

Personally, I've got Liveware 3.0 for Windows2000 (just come from 98SE), and there are MORE options to play with in 2000 over 98........

I would reccomend it......

Well they haven't updated their drivers for the sound cards since May of 2000. Think it probably has something to do with the new Audigy line they've come out with. Why support an old product when you can get people to buy your new product.
