This means that:
1) There is something wrong with your Vista installation in general,
if it is not recognized as the default OS by the Creative driver.
Or, it means:
2) Something is definitely wrong with the Creative driver if it won't
recognize your default OS. Possibly, you got a bad download of the
driver. Try redownloading it.

I have the same problem with GeForce 6800 card. The older driver identifies
the OS as "Longhorn ()" although I run the latest 5384 Beta 2 build. The
drivers must be looking at different parts of OS to identify the version.
