Live!Ware 2.0/2.1 installation problem.

[Sequel]

Hi there.

Just downloaded the Live!Ware 2.0 & 2.1 upgrade from the creative site, and am attempting to install them to fix some probs
with the G400 / SBLive combo (again! ;(),
however, clicking on the setup.exe file
initialises InstallShield, gets to 100%
and then does nothing else. Just returns to
the desktop?

Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

It's Windows98 SR-1 by the way.

Thanks in advance.

On thing you can try is installing the Liveware Drivers in "Safe Mode"....YOu probably know how to get it to boot safe, but if not...while 98 starts to boot keep press ing F5 or F8...one of those keys should boot up safe, then go ahead and run the install...
I have had alot of similiar probs with Liveware 2.0, especially in NT (have NT, 98m and Linux on my box)...And actually, the SB Live Value has been involved in alot of issues with my system...Sometimes, when booting NT, it would get to where it starts up the sound and errors out!!!
I got the SB Live Value because it used up alot less CPU resources, etc///but seems to be at the bottom of alot of probs...When installing NT, if I don't install my epson 440 before the Live, the Epson setup won't start...have to re=boot a bunch of time to get it to wrk...
Anyway, try th Safe Mode boot to run the install of the drivers...
