I remember that initial drivers (about 1yr ago) did not work with SMP, and creative posted a fix, which is now inluded with versions 2 and 3 of liveware. Unless you are using Liveware1 the problem is with something else.

Hey, does that Xeon make a lot of difference for games? I was once toying with an idea of getting one.

Pirating is not a simple to steel or not ot stel issue. Just read the bloody EULA, you are not even owning the stupid software, company has only generously granted you a license to use it. There is also an argument that prices are high because pirates are taken in account. Then companies go ahead and still claim losses due to the software piracy. There is a lack of integrity on both sides of the fence. Then there are those stupid nagg screens for a shareware which I will pay if it proves to be truly useful, such as Powerdesk or Getright, et. However I will not put up with those you have so many days left please register naggs. I get enough naggs from purchased software as it is. Etc, etc, etc.

More power to you, I went back to Dell drivers. I have a dedicated NT machine doing MP3 burning and playing as not to compromise w2k work machine. I did like being able to just push a button and hibernate, not having to worry about closing windows etc. System specs: Gigabyte GA6-BXDS, disabled SCSI 256M Ram Creative SBlive OEM Model#Something Creative Geforce Linksys 10/100 EtherSomething NIC very basic system (due to w2k crushes, I disabled my RAID and other goodies)

Installed new beta LiveWare drivers on top of the Dell drivers. Did not have to reboot!? Hibernate and standby worked with Dell drivers, but now I get an error message that PS/2 mouse drivers are preventing system from hybernation--standby. Anyone else had this happen. I have SMP system with SBlive OEM (no SPDIF connector). Thanks in advance.
