SB Live, Just Drivers or LIVEWARE?

[xWeston]

I have a Sound Blaster Live value (not 5.1) and Windows 2000.
The rest of my system specs are as shown below...

Should i use just the "WDM" driver? or should i install the whole liveware package? I could careless about all of the software that they give me with liveware, for example the creative recorder and launcher crap...

Please help!

Ignore the bloatware that is Liveware, just stick to the drivers. Or better yet get Santa Cruz or Acoustic Edge for much better sound.

I only use the drivers myself.

I just use the drivers myself, the Liveware! is mostly bloatware with a few good features mixed in.

Just the drivers, screw Lava.

i just use the driver. liveware is not worth the hassle it is a piece of
crap in my opinion, had so many lock-ups and weird probs.

Drivers only dude. The rest is just like an autolaunching toolbar and some little applets for warping sound playback.
