BSOD and System freezing while installing X-Fi

[jeffel]

Hi i am getting BSOD or system freezing while installing the creative X-fi platinum drivers.

I tried drivers from creative website and the cd but no use.

Also tried with onboard sound disabled and only two sticks of ram(2gb) instead of 4gb.

Anyone has a quick solution.Pls share.thx in advance.

Card model no- SB0460

Have you tried moving the soundcard to another free PCI slot ?

I had a similar issue with my X-Fi not being detected or functioning unless I swap the Nova-T 500 MCE card over with the X-Fi and moved the TV Tuner card down a slot.

Tried just now but freezers during driver installaton.thx


Edit
Reinstalled xp.Upgraded to sp3 and installed the software.But the problem seems to be like "ha20x2k.sys" crashing.
I ve seen this in many forums.How do i disable OpenAl.
