I didnt used any list there since I had a cd driver for SB live 5.1 but it is not the correct one for SB0100 I will browse arround the driver library and see is I can find the correct one but I remember some time ago somebody had posted the driver installers whidout the cds on the forum but cant find the thread I know SB live 5.1 is problematic on windows 98 but when it work it gives the best sound quality. Also thanks for the sugestion

You can still download the non Cd based drivers from creative

You still have to play the game of finding which drivers work with that card though 🙁

Yeah, these sound blaster live cards are a real pain because there are so many versions of the SB card and each version requires its
specific divers for every OS version.

There is SB-100, SB-200, and the DELL versions of the SB card. and other models too.
So you need to see what model number your Sound blaster live card is and find the right driver.
And then there are the update fixes to add. a Real pain.

Creative website has drivers and patches and dell drivers too:

I had this exact same problem with the exact same card, but it was over a year ago.
After wasting way too much time, I found a driver that worked (it might have been on MSFN).

I uploaded the driver which worked (at least I think so) as an attachment, hopefully it works for you too.
The whole Creative driver situation is simply laughable, it's like they deliberately wanted to prevent you from reselling your sound card by providing seemingly hundreds of different CDs for different models instead of a unified driver.

I think it depends of the mainboard, and sometimes which network card in inside the computer (Irq pb ?).
I use Sound Blaster Live 0100 and 4830 on my old Pentium 2 3 and 4, and I noticed in some cases that desactivating the DOS emulation mode solves BSOD.Don't ask me why it works sometimes ...
Of course, this can be a problem is you wan't to play pure DOS games.

The disk that KT7AGuy uploaded to vogonsdrivers towards the end of the thread may well be what you are looking for.

Good luck.
