    I was getting that one as well.

    I went to the registry and removed the entries that creative made under:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

    e.g. Delete the key that says 'CTRegSvr.exe'

    I don't remember what all of the others were exactly...cthelper.exe and maybe something else...after that, I updated to the latest betas and rebooted and all was well.

          You can help me on this one. Every morning when i boot my computer up my sound card uninstalls the drivers i installed for it. When i go to task manager to shut down unessecary services my computer beeps. I go to device manager and my sound card and come to find that the drivers are not there. What would cause it to uninstall?

            First of all...remove that image..it's too huge and it's screwing up the text wrapping

            Secondly...try this:

            1. Click Start
            2. Click Run
            3. Type cmd.exe in the textbox and click OK
            4. Type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 and hit ENTER
            5. Type devmgmt.msc and hit ENTER
            6. When the device manager opens, click the View menu
            7. Click Show Hidden Devices

            This will show all devices that have been detected on your system since your last reformat/re-install that may have extra device entries lying around.

            Go to the 'Sound, Video and Game Controllers' section and remove any grey or extra entries that you believe should not be there. Don't delete any of the codecs or anything...just extra things that seem related to your sound card. Don't delete anything from any other section unless you know what you're doing.

            If you do not feel comfortable doing so, then don't do it. You may have to re-install your sound card afterward if you accidentally remove the wrong entry...or you may screw up your entire system

                It depends on when you last reformatted and what hardware you've installed and un-installed since then including driver updates.

                Glad it worked
