When I restart I get "No ADI codec is installed". Subsequently if I try to update drivers, specifying the location of the soundmax driver that was installed it gets about halfway (appears to be updating ksuser.dll I think) and then it fails with "The data is invalid".
Below is a snippet of my system summary taken from Everest with the relevant bits. Any help anyone can provide would be wonderful!
