I don't know if anyone has experienced this problem, but I need a solution bad:
I have installed XP (Clean) on my P4 1.7 Ghz.
It would not install (it would freeze )until I removed my soundblaster live platinum card and DXR3 decoder card.
One I did this, the installation went fine.
The problem is that now when I plug the soundblaster card back in, the systme recognizes the card as either a PCI device or a Soundblaster live Value (WDM), but then the system freezes. Also what is WDM)??
I reboot, it gets that far again and freezes.
I start in safe mode, and it recognizes it in the same manner, but then freezes.
I uninstall the card and everything is fine.
Help!!!
I would love to install the new drivers for the card, but unfortunately Windows has to recognize the card first!

Also, I had everything running under Windows XP before Tuesday when similar things started to happen. That is why I formatted my hard drive and started from scratch!
