VXD EMU10K1 BS error on CPU swap?

[ZaijiaN]

I'm upgrading a Abit BX6r2 from a P3-450 to a P3-700/100/256 and when windows starts up, I get VXD bluescreens with the emu10k1, which means it's the sb live... When I put the 450 back in, everything's fine. I have the latest bios update, but I haven't had time to download all the critical updates through windowsupdate or the newest sblive drivers.
Any ideas what the problem might be?

Yes

this is a Creative SBLive driver problem. Go to SB site, download the newest Liveware.

This is a well known problem.

you need the update. it is an issue with processor speeds over 600mhz

if you are using Win95 or Win98 get this file

sb live update

that alone will not solve the problem as you'll need to get an updated driver as well. it's called sblw9xup.exe or similiar.

I think LW3 did solve the problem. Correct me if I am wrong.

Liveware3 and/or the newest drivers helped me when I had this problem...it's not a matter of chip speed, but the type of chip. Any coppermine-based CPU will give you this problem...the katmai's will not.

no, lw3 which came out at the end of 1999 did not sort out the coppermine problem so creative updated the EMU10K1. VXD with the release of sblw9xup.exe in April 2000!
