Nvidia Drivers

Post by Nigel H-J »

Some time ago someone put in a link to a driver download for Nvidia Cards and I cannot for the life of me find it. This driver was done by somebody independant of Nvidia but apparently the driver is better than the one Nvidia produce?!!

So if anyone knows of the link I would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction.

Also, have lost my Creative SB Live driver for my sound card and as it is an old one from the days of Win98 2nd edition can anyone advise where I can download one for XP as it is no longer available on the Creative Labs site.

Many thanks

Nigel.

I think Creative considers the SB Live as being at the end of it's product life so all the drivers are archived.

http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/d ... &x=22&y=10

That brought me to a page fopr the SB Live version 5.1 drivers. If the above link does not work try

http://www.soundblaster.com/language.as ... /downloads

Select as appropriate for the three sections which should bring you to a page where you select your product. If you select SB Live 5.1 you will then get the page that says

"The product you have selected has reached the end of its service life. Support for this product is limited to materials available on the Creative Customer Support website before its discontinuation. This may include Knowledge Base solutions, drivers, application updates and product documentation. Search archives now. "

Note the last sentence and click on the link "Search archives now." You should be able to find what you need there (after filling in more pulldown forms).

From one to another!
Nigel
