Well like I said, the real reason is.... in the installer it checks the Hardware ID of the card and it has to match the various hardware ID's in the config file. In the config file there is only retail cards.

So will the driver work? I don't know. If you were real nice and asked if I could upload the new driver with the modified config to install on your system, then I could.

From the Creative website:

" If your Creative product came preinstalled in or distributed with your computer system, it is likely an OEM product. You should request support and warranty service for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) products directly from the PC manufacturer because they are often specifically customized for the PC manufacturer that ships them.

Our extensive Knowledge Base includes a variety of general support information including "how-to" articles and general installation instructions that may also apply to your OEM product. You may be able to find OEM drivers on our site for a limited number of products. However, unless a Knowledge Base article or driver listing states it is for your specific OEM product, you should always contact your original supplier for hardware, driver, and other technical issues.
