After a few hours last night I've managed to get my SBLive! working on win2k 2151! If any of you are still having problems with it (I had quite a few!) then try the following before using the liveware31.zip instructions (these DO work and are very well written - thanks!). 1. Turn OFF PCI Steering (goto Standard PC under Device Manager and right click properties) then the NT4 drivers will function. 2. DISABLE you're modem speaker device (if you have a modem) in Device Manager. If you don't then the LiveWare3 installation WILL NOT complete. 3. Log in as Administrator (not an Admin class account) otherwise LiveWare3 WON'T install. 4. Now follow the liveware31.zip instructions very carefully. After doing this it worked perfectly every time! Remember to always DISABLE the modem speaker otherwise when you reboot you get no sound or LiveWare. Also remember to keep the "Do not map through this device" ticked in the SBLive! properties, otherwise when you reboot nothing works again. Hope this helps! Phil

Hi Michael I was just wondering if you managed to get the NT4 LiveWare3 drivers to work at all? (ie. you have sound etc.) Forgetting about the LiveWare3 software for the time being - the biggest problem I had was getting the NT4 drivers to work. Once they worked properly the software installed first time. BTW - The software does not install when the win2k beta Live! drivers are in use. I tried about 20-25 times to see what was stopping the installation. So getting the NT4 drivers working first is your best bet. I have also reinstalled 2151 about 3 times already because of LiveWare3!! I might try another reinstall to see if the same method works every time. Thanks Phil

Hi Laddyboy, The only thing I can suggest is to disable your modem completely (I had to the first time round, as it was being used when I installed LiveWare3 for some reason). I don't think either LiveWare 2.0 or 2.1 works on win2k from what other ppl have said. Also, have you managed to get the NT4 drivers working at all before the LiveWare3 installation? I had great difficulty until I disabled PCI Steering - then it worked. Hope you have some success soon. Phil
