***FIXED*** Grid won't start with X-Fi card installed.

Specs below.

It launches but stops responding before the intro video.

Bioshock and Doom 3 give the same response. Is there a solution? I think it has to do with my xfi card which sounds awsome in all the games it works in.

APPEARS TO BE WORKING NOW WITH X-FI'S LATEST DRIVERS. When I originally installed the console, THX installed. But for some reason it did not install this time, the only thing I can think of is that THX was confusing Vista's speaker configuration causing this to crash. All games work now.

Actually the latest (XXX.2004 I think) Vista drivers gave me a BSOD. Reverted back to XXX.2002 and all is fine. I really need to find a better sound card anyway.

I'm on Vista hp x64, (2.18.0004), I can't even find .2004

I had this same problem on Vista and XP, and what I ended up doing was disabling the onboard sound and using a headset. It's not ideal, but it worked.

Sorry, I knew it was some number that ended in 4. Try reverting back to the 2.18.0002 drivers. They seem to be stable for me. The .0004 drivers just cause a BSOD on my system.

there's no better gaming sound card... unless you think that software sound cards are better than hardware sound cards.
