Well, for all Os'es actually.. I just got an email from fdrsoft who just happens to have updated drivers for the Live! series of Creative cards. They are digitally signed and I have already loaded them up to see if they are the real deal, no LiveWare in this package, but if you experience problems with the default drivers, give these a shot.
Noticeable changes are: Instead of version: 5.1.2535 (XP WDM) these are v3507.0.0.0 with file date of 08/10/2001. This version also replaces the devldr32.exe that seems to be unstable on most systems with a new creative version 1.0.0.21
