I have a SB 5.1 Platinum and had some problems with install. Two things that I've done to fix it with WinXP. 1. After install from the SB cd goto creative and get the updates for the software. 2. Make sure the the sound is not in the slot right next to the AGP port.

CARMAGEDDON SERIES ...........NUF SAID

Grand Theft Auto III Patch 1.1 Contents Zip file "GTA3patch1.1.zip" containing gta3patch.exe gta3patch.txt (this file) Installation Start gta3patch.exe. After clicking next twice, browse to your installed Grand Theft Auto III directory (the directory where GTA3.EXE resides) and click next. The patch will check for the presence of your GTA3.EXE file. If the patch finds an un-modified GTA3.EXE, then this file will be updated to version 1.1, otherwise no patching can occur. Click start to begin the update process. After patching click exit. The only file changed by this patch is GTA3.EXE which is upgraded to version 1.1 Save game and setting files are carried forward with no issues. Changes- - Exception error after blue Rockstar load screen fixed. - Error loading saved games fixed. - Mouse sensitivity now saved with other settings (no changes made to existing settings). - Option for user to play audio files directly from hard disk. Copy the contents of the PLAY discs Audio directory into your installed Grand Theft Auto III Audio directory. Grand Theft Auto III still requires the presence of the PLAY disc when started. This may give better performance on some machines (though worse on others). - All protection checks (apart from needing PLAY disc to start) removed. Grand Theft Auto III still checks for the presence of the PLAY disc when initially started, and plays audio from the PLAY disc if not found on the hard disk (see above).

OBTW if you have a 6 pc speaker set for your sb live card if you want to use the CENTER speaker all the time goto the creative player and look for an option that says CMSS and set it to movie mode. when you test the speakers for 5.1 sound it will play the test for the center speaker but all other sounds and games will not play in the center speaker unless you do the above steps.

Well I just build a new system win xp amd 1800+ giga g7rxvp 512mb ddr333 ram 80g hd sb live 5.1 platinum On xp I installed the drivers from creative disk and then applied the patches from www.soundblaster.com for remote control center etx and had problems with loud clicking noises when it rebooted and the fix that i used was left the programs on for the sound card and reinstall the drivers from the winxp cd and now it works perfectly

personally for FPS games I use a logitech trackman marble+
