Default SBLive driver install program quits suddenly

I am trying to install the Live driver for Win98SE. I have the proper
download from Creative. When I run it, it gives me the "Sound Blaster
Drivers Update (Win9x) Setup is preparing the InstallShield Wizard..."
progress bar; then, when it reaches 100%........ nothing. The installer
just quits without a trace.

Any wisdom to give on this?

Tim

Not much! Sorry. You could try going into the device manager and deleting
the soundcard listed there (probably in the form of an unknown device with a
yellow exclamation mark symbol next to it), then rebooting your box (and
cancelling the request to install drivers for the soundcard when it is
re-detected), then cleaning out your windows temporary files folder once
it's booted back up. Then you run the installer again and see if it works
any better.

OR, you could upgrade to windows xp instead which is far superior to win98
and overall simply works better in pretty much every way there is.

Will give it a try. I'm also wondering if I'm missing some other system
driver, since I'm also experiencing the exact same symptom (i.e. installer
quits suddenly) with the modem driver. Both are PCI cards, so.....?

(It's days like this when I wish I'd paid more attention in my computer
architecture class)

Actually, this is a dual-boot machine. I'm setting up a Win98 partition so
we can continue to play some of our old DOS games. The XP side is working
fine!
