Hi Andy,
If your external Soundblaster Live is the 24 bit version, I
believe you may be in luck.
But go check
http://193.95.171.84/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=641,E=000
0000000341998777,K=7095,Sxi=17,Case=obj(14186)
And as that will certainly wrap, try the Tiny URL below:-
http://tinyurl.com/3x5prj
where you will find a list of Creative drivers for Vista.
George.

Hi George.
My current system is a five year old Packard Bell and I'm
having several
problems with it. What happened was that I spilled a can of
coke, honestly
, not beer, down the back of my unit and the fan on the back
of the computer
sucked it in and sprayed it about all over the place.
Apparently, my
computer has TB now.
I'm needing to get a new computer and am seriously thinking
now of going to
VISTA. However, I did have some concerns regarding access,
using GoldWave,
Winamp and the BBC Player. All of these issues have now
been resolved,
apart from my SoundBlaster Live external card query.
I think I'm going to loss my old printer and Epson Scanner,
which do not
really cause me too many problems, apart from the fact that
my K1000 is the
latest version: Shame to see it just sit there.
Best Wishes.
Andy.
