Thanks to MR A for the guide. This guide relates to the YouP-PAX III Final WDM Driver for Creative Lab's SoundBlaster Live! series for Windows 98/ME/2K/XP.

First of all, I want to carify that I did NOT write this driver myself. So if it doesn't work or it works great, you don't have to contact me. I'm not responsible for anything this driver does to your computer, but I can tell you honestly tell you that I'm using this driver and it has been working great.

Nvidia has uploaded official Detonators 43.00 on their website, these are for their Quadro line of cards but will work on all Nvidia cards.

TerraTec, Nvidia's german retail channel partner, yesterday uploaded the latest known drivers of the 42.xx series. These drivers are again reference driver sets, DirectX 9 and multilanguage releases. Read more...

Creative Asia has released new WHQL certified drivers for its Jukebox series including the latest addition Zen. The new drivers are version 1.20.04 and support all Windows Operating Systems. It adds compatibility for Windows Media Format 9, Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition and faster SB1394/Firewire transfer speed in Windows XP.

I found a new nForce 1/2 audio driver for Windows 2000/XP today on Windows Update Catalog. The driver is WHQL certified and driver files are dated 17/01/03. The driver version is 5.10.2922.0 which makes it the latest available nForce audio driver at the moment. Feel free to download it from Windows Update Catalog but if you can't find it, I mirrored the driver here for now (thanks a lot to David again).

Schtopper writes: "I had a quick chat with one of the driver gurus from ATI and he confirmed that a new driver release (Catalyst 3.2) should be available this month. (Given how cautious he was in giving a date, I assume it will be mid month if all goes to plan).

The only things I know for sure that have been addressed, is a fix for the stuttering in Freelancer. In addition the stuttering problem as a whole has been looked at and will 'hopefully' be fixed this time around (no guarantee). He did mention that there was quite a few fixes but didn't specify a list."

Now let's hope Nvidia plans to release some new drivers soon as well, its been 3 months already since last official driver was released and new drivers are in development.

I was messing with updating the Sil3112A chipset driver to version *.28 and using Device Manager, I updated the driver manually and unchecked the (Other) Compatiable driver option. And I saw this:

MEDION have released two new sets of Nvidia Detonator drivers for the GeForce Go 488 and 440! This news was sent in by nvchips-fr.com! I bet your saying WTF is a GeForce Go 488 as it's not listed @ Nvidia's site? Here's the low down by Nvchips-fr.com.

This GPU does not appear on the site of NVIDIA, and it was not the subject of a particular advertisement, and yet it equips already certain portables.

As I've had a few emails asking for mirrors for Nvidia Detonator drivers 43.00 for 9X/ME/2000/XP I've put together a list of mirrors for you! And we also have some new Detonator 43.00 drivers for mobile cards GeForce4 Go 440 and Quadro 4 GoGL video cards: Increased performance in C&C Generals, Unreal 2 and other major games Tweaked from download Smaller in size than reference 43.00 (7.8 megs as opposed to 24 megs) Full support for GeForce4 Go 440 and Quadro 4 GoGL

Today PNY Technolgies has released a formerly unknown Detonator driver version 43.00 for all Windows Operating Systems (see our news story here. Nvidia did not release a reference driver since December 3rd, 2002. In the meantime Microsoft released DirectX 9 and Futuremark Corp., formerly known as MadOnion, has released 3DMark 03 a hybrid DirectX 8 / 9 benchmark. As version 43.xx marks another major revision step from 42.xx anticipation towards this release is high and being the only currently known download location PNY servers are hit hard and even broadband connected Nvidia fans may not finish their download as fast as they might wish. Warp2Search pulled the 2K / XP version before publishing the news article and we did some fast testing. Read more

Just got word that Mydrivers.com have some new Creative Sound Blaster Live / Live! 5.1 & Audigy 2 drivers for Windows 2000/XP, dated February 16th, 2003! These are modded Audigy2 drivers for Audigy and SBLive owners.

Update for those that are having problem loading these drivers! RIV@NVX @ DriverHeaven reminds me that they have a Audigy2 updates hacking and installation procedure guide up that you can use for reference! Please note that you need to be registered to use their forum! Here's a snip.

When I first saw a note about updates for Audigy2, I said to myself: "They will probably work on my Audigy without problems, as Audigy2 CD drivers did." Of course, I downloaded all of them and apps installed fine, but the AUD2DRVL11021217.exe came up with nice error message (that it didn't detect Audigy2). Same thing happened with AUD2DRVL11030205.exe! And I thought - I am going to find out how to do that. And, it is possible. Well, not possible, but obvious, since the .inf file contains EMU10k1 support and Audigy support!
