Okay. No, If you're seeing Windows generic device or Unknown in Device
Manager, under Other Devices, you won't be offered to delete the driver
software. Just let that be. What happens, now, when you do the following:
1.. Double-click the SBAXVSD_PCDRV_LB_2_12_0001.exe file.
2.. When the message "You must restart your computer to apply these changes"
appears, click the Restart LATER button.
3.. Follow the instructions on the screen.
What happen when you click Restart Later? (Which is Creative's
suggestion)...
Does Device Manager show the correct Device under Sounds? (That is, after
having run SBAXVSD_PCDRV_LB_2_12_0001.exe, and not restarting)...
