Creative was releasing new drivers, however for those of you who are unable to, or can't afford to buy the CD I've found a direct link to download the Compaq Complete CD which will work. Just extract the downloaded exe to any directory delete the CToem.cfg from "audiosetup directory" you now have an official "Creative Full Version CD". Burn if you wish or just run setup to install.
