SB LiveWare 3.0 on XP

Neo_ZX · May 11th, 2002

Creative has stopped supporting their LiveWare software a while back but I'm actually used to it and I want to be able to install LiveWare 3.0 on WinXP but I'm not exactly sure if there are any problems with this. I've been installing software for the past day and I don't want to make a mistake that will take me back 20 steps.

Does anyone know if the Win2000 version of LiveWare 3.0 works with XP? Should I install 2.0 from the CD first then the 3.0 web update?

Any help would be appreciated.

I've been doing some searching and I've actually stumbled upon some XP LiveWare packages... no word on whether they are just the 2000 package, official drivers or hacked. I don't remember Creative ever putting out an XP package...

I tried installing the 2000 liveware a while back. It crashed my computer really badly. But that's just my experience. I think that the FAQ at Creative says that you can do it.

I got the xp liveware3 and it works fine, no problem, but it's different from the old win9x liveware3, it miss out alot of program.
Before I install my original liveware3 from cd I got few problem like the bar they creat on the top screen doesn't work, besides that no problem either.

Iran, you got it to boot in safe mode? You are really lucky. My computer wouldn't boot at all, and I had to reformat.
