Audigy 2 Install Problems

[CRXican]

Bought a used Audigy 2 soundcard. Its in the only PCI slot avalaible in my Shuttle and Windows XP detects a new PCI input device. However when I go to install the drivers I get the following error:

What could be the reason for this? I have already disabled onboard sound in the BIOS. Could the card be defective or dead?

Wrong driver? Defective card?

I bought the card in the FS/FT forum from an established trader, I hope it's not defective but that's my guess.

You sure you're using the right drivers?

Try it in another system?

he supplied a CD with the drivers, it starts to install but then comes up with that error

I guess I could try it in my other Shuttle

I had the same problem and its very easy to fix. Download the latest driver from the creative site. Extract the driver .exe to a folder on your desktop with winrar. Now browse the files and folders you just extracted and there should be a driver installer in there. Use it to install the drivers. OR you can install the drivers via device manager, just specify the extracted drivers folder as your source and windows will do the rest.
