I didnt get the sound card yet. I am just researching. Is there a way to download the driver without the dvd or should I look at other sound cards? I couldnt find anything about oline downloads.
What model do you have? I would download it from www.softwarepatch.com, all the drivers are free and reliable and it is less complicated than Creative's website.
In the event that you might need the software and drivers again in the future, download both to a USB Stick. It would be smart to make that stick "bootable " as well. If for some reason you're having problems that are preventing you from booting to Windows, just pop the bootable usb stick in and it should boot right up for you. You will need to get into your Bios Section and make the usb stick the first boot device instead of the hard drive.Then just hit F10 to save and you're good to go
