Thanks guys - I'll try that out and see what happens.

I just purchased the Hollywood+ DVD Decoder card, downloaded the beta drivers from RealMagic, followed all the installation instructions, and I get an error during the file copy process saying that it can't find the specified file. However, there is no file specified for me to know where the problem is. No matter what I do, I either get this error, or I get a blue screen stop error. Believe me, I've tried everything - setting PnP BIOS to OFF, redownloading the drivers, manually uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing. Specs: Gateway PIII-600 256MBs RAM nVidia Riva TNT2 SB Live Thanx in advance!

I have the SB Live with the FPS2000 and build 2183. I just plugged in only the front speakers (don't plug anything into the rear speaker jack on the subwoofer) from the sound card (green outlet). I get sound from all 4 that way, but have no effects or liveware features. It's SIMULTANEOUS sound from all four speakers, not surround sound.

Yeah - same thing happens to me on build 2183. Haven't found a solution, other than not hibernating.

This worked for me too, but when I try to create a player, the keyboard and mouse cease to work. I am therefore unable to type in a name and click "Create". I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL and end the program that way to get anything to work again. Any thoughts on that?

Thanks to you both. I got the port working: The Device Manager said "Creative Multimedia Interface" and I just updated that driver using the one shipped with Windows called "Game Port for Creative SB Live!". It works like a champ. As for the LW3 update and the slow-down. I found that the slowdown (at least on my system) was related to a file being accessed from McAfee VirusScan NT (amgrsrvc.exe). It was constantly using 100% system resources. I simply renamed the file to amgrsrvc.bak and rebooted, which considerably sped up the system. I'm not sure if that will apply to other people's systems, though.

The install program didn't work for me either, but I figured out that after it decompresses the five files (lv3lib1, 2, 3, setup, and lw3nt) the setup.exe file in the temp directory wasn't expanded. Go to the command prompt and expand that setup.ex_ file to setup.exe and run that from win. The setup then worked for me, but I never did get any sound after the whole process - resorted back to the standard drivers.

Did anybody ever figure out how to get the SB Live gameport to work under 2183? I installed LW3 (rather unsuccessfully, I might add), but I still get nothing about a gameport in the device manager. I've tried completely uninstalling the sound card, and reinstalling. . . nothing. The gameport did used to work with RC2, but after upgrading to RC3, I can't get a thing. Anybody have a miracle driver out there?

I was simply wondering where I can get the 3.64 Detonator drivers for the TNT2. I've been reading about them, but can't find them anywhere.
