Sound Blasters so you just plug it in and see if it's detected. Otherwise, knowing the model, you should find drivers on the Creative Labs site under discontinued or archived types. Something doesn't sound right with your hardware, however. You said the machine has a 1.2gb drive. XP needs more than that just for it's own folder. I'd also say that if you've only 256 megs or RAM, you're borderline operational and will likely experience problems with some software or hardware.
