Im having a heck of a time getting my Santa Cruz sound card to work with Windows XP.
Funny thing is it ran fin under RC1 but for some reason the latest drivers from Turtle beach seem to not want to work with my XP pro install.

When I ran the install from the microsoft update site, it failed, so I downloaded the drivers from turtle beaches site. WHen I run the intall program it seems to stop and slow down around 50% then I get a error message that the card has not been installed.

Im thinking that the install program is corrupted or messed up, and ive downloaded it several times now to double check.

Does anyone out there have a source for JUST the drivers, and not the install program so I can do a manuel install?

I guess if I can't get this card to work ill have to go back to W2k or something.

yes, there's a known issue. Aparently a friend of mine, who is registered with this site, knows the cure. I'll email him for you and have him reply... but if I remember right it was on Turtle Beach's site.

**edit -- my friend looked and says his issues were with dual procs and yours wasn't the same.**

thanks Pinky! Ill take another look at the site, I didn't did to hard. I guess I figured that if it was a "known" issue they would have fixed it by now.
