ok i have a post titled 'sound blaster audigy EAX 5.1 problem...please help!' go there and follow the steps i took...my machine is almost identicle to yours, and although my prob was caused by tv card too close to the sound card in the pci slots, it could be you have yours too close to the graphics card or something!! possible

basically to explain, i was being denied permission to install drivers for my sound blaster audigy 1 EAX 5.1 card. i had to completely uninstal EVERYTHING to do with creative and reinstall after moving the card from one pci slot to another to resolve irq sharing issues, then went to creative driver web page and got all the updates downloaded and installed...problem solved for me!

might be worth you moving the card away from other devices in the pci slots and try that?

let me know it would be interesting to know whether i can actually be of any help for once!!! lol

sorry just remembered!

if you do happen to try what i explained then make sure you:-

instal software and drivers from your creative cd/floppy disks!

make sure it is a complete instal of everything!

then go to the creative web site (i found it by searching exactly this-'sound blaster drivers') - using google!

on the first page that loads select your card from the list and then click (on the next page) the auto sytem scan or something like that...it will then scan your pc and give ALL updates....drivers and software!

hope this is of some help!

good luck
