Hi everyone,

i am having a very strange problem.

I have a SB Live 5.1 installed under Win Xp thast been working fine since i bought the PC 2 years ago. Lately i am having problems with the drivers and sound. They uninstall automatically and have to reinstall everything again untill one fine day they dissapear again, just like that.
I finally re-formatted and re-installed XP and now the drivers are still there, but after a while no more sound.. again! Reinstalled drivers but no good !!!

Help or suggestions greatly appreciated
Tnx/Eric
