Sound Blaster MP3+ USB in XP

Hi

First, disable the on-board sound from BIOS, save and exit BIOS settings
Disconnect all the USB peripherals
Restart your PC in safe mode (by pressing F8 Key) and login as administrator
Go to device manager, double click the Universal Bus Controller and then uninstall the XXX PCI to USB Open Host Controller
Uninstall the sound blaster sound card as well if it appeared in the device manager
Reboot the PC, windows should find the USB and install the drivers
Strictly follow the instructions from creative for how to install the sound card drivers

Hope it helps

Pete

I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 with Win-XP Home. I've trie
installing Sound Blaster MP3+ in Win-XP, but no joy. I
finds a 'USB Domposite Device', but the device manage
tells me that it won't start - Code 10. My USB port i
fine, as is the card. I come up fine in Mandrake Linux
I've tried installing and uninstalling, disabling the buil
in soundcard in the bios. I've downloaded updates from bot
Creative and Microsoft, but no luck

I guess Microsoft has 'updated' USB support in XP, whic
has in turn broken support for this device (according t
this page
http://support.microsoft.com/default...0&Product=WinX
) So, where can I get the fix for this? Do I really have t
pay $35 or whatever to email a Microsoft person just to ge
a link this this fix which apparantly already exists

Thanks
