I'm trying to install any driver wdm or vxd, from original discs and what not, the moment the card gets recognized the system freezes.

Any suggestion? Besides changing OS, for now i want to see if i can solve this on ME.

I don't think it has anything to do with the OS, since I've been using that exact Audigy model on WinME for nearly a year now. No problems whatsoever, and that's with VxD drivers.

You might possibly have a resource conflict or a hardware issue.

Audigy has been around for over 20 years since its release.
It often has dry electrolytic capacitors near to both 1117 regulators.
For start, these capacitors need to be replaced.

It was daemontools, apparently on winME 3.47 usually ends up crashing the OS on startup, version 3.44 is recommended.

I thought you were experimenting on a clean freshly installed system...

I'm so accustomed to install daemon on a freshly formatted system my brain just accepted it as a fact of life 😅
