Seem to have solved my vista issues

*fingers crossed*

basically i was suffering from BSOD , random lockups , hard locks forcing a power off and no matter what i did i couldnt sort it , it was a very frustrating 3 months

3 days ago i pulled the soundcard and went with the onboard drivers and sound

so far not 1 issue in 3 days machine seems very stable .... in fact its been a real pleasure to use

seems that my setup did not like the creative card

just hope this isnt a fluke

Just curious, what was the model number of the creative sound card in the computer?

I've actually read that a lot of people are having problems with Creative cards under Vista. And, yes, please do post the model you were using.

I run realtek HD on my onboard. It sounds just as good as the Soundblaster live 5.1 i had in my XP system. I only use sound for headphones so not like i need huge power. Though i have heard good things about the new creative cards that give you surround sound with only headphones on.

i have a creative xfi & the creative problems are one of the reasons i have not installed my copy of ultimate yet. laziness & waiting for sp1 & a few other small possible compatibilty issues are the rest of it.
though sp3 for xp is looking interesting.

I guess I am lucky. Vista home premium and soundblaster Xi-Fi Fatal1ty. Zero problems, first with the Vista drivers, then with some beta drivers from Creative. No problems doing everyday things, no problems in games, etc.
