What I do

I don't claim to be a guru but what I do to install Creative cards is:-
- disable the mobo onboard sound in the BIOS
- get the Creative card model no. its normally on a label on the card, something like SBxxxyyyyy (ignore all the yyyy, only the 3 digits after SB are needed)
- using a backup PC (or the same PC before the soundcard is fitted) D/L the driver from Creative's site,
- fit the soundcard & switch on
- ignore/exit from all New Hardware Found messages
- run the D/L exe driver
- reboot

If I've read you post correctly you let Windoze search for the drivers itself & that never works for me.
