I have couple of extra questions:
I am sure for my XP setup, I have installed DanielK's Audigy driver pack, therefore I am missing some of the awesome Creative Labs applications that come on the Windows XP Drivers. Well, I decided to download the Sound Blaster X-Fi PCIe WinXP/Vista posted on VOGON for my X-Fi Titanium (EMU20K2).

Is this the correct drivers?

Check my guide for setting up the X-Fi Titanium under WinXP. As mentioned there, it's best to use an older driver version, since the latest ones have issues with OpenAL games.

The question is what about between 2001 and 2003 games?

Those should work fine on the X-Fi.

Can I simply uninstall DanielK Drivers and install the drives that you mentioned, or do I have preform a clean XP OS installation (which I am willing NOT to!)
Many thanks!

As far as I can tell, DanielK's drivers have a nice uninstaller which wipes out any remnants from the system. So there's no need to reinstall WinXP.

Great! Will do that then! Truly appreciate it!
Edit:
I have used your "Guide: Installing Windows 9x and DOS drivers on Audigy cards (version 3.1)" and installed the VxD drivers on my System 1 (Win98 and Win2K dual boot). I also had installed the same drivers on Wi2k OS on this same machine): Does it mean that my Win2k also has vxD drivers installed?
