Thanks for everyone's help; I'm buying a new card this weekend.

The card is there, it shows up in device manager. Its in the same slot
prior to my re-install of XP.
Thanks for your help.

If you can, try the card in another system.. you might also try the
card in another slot.. remove it physically from the system.. reboot
without it.. now re-install the card, having drivers ready when asked
for..

Go to the sound icon in Control Panel, and check for sound card.. if
it doesn't show up in your system or another, replace the card..

I'm hoping someone in this forum can help me;
Creative/Soundblaster tech support & forums were not able to.

I have a SB Live! sound card. Model SB0200 Serial Number:
MSB0200320152655 and a set of Creative Cambridge Soundworks 200
Speakers.
The speakers consist of 4 satellites and 1 sub woofer. My audio has
been
working flawlessly for several years. In other words, left rear,
right rear,
left front, right front all working as they should. Well, all was
well until
last weekend when I decided to reformat my drive and re-install
Windows XP
Pro (sp2). Creative no longer posts these drivers (only updates).
However, I installed them from an old installation cd that I had.
The problem I'm having is that only
two of the satellites emit sound! Furthermore when I run the
creative
diagnostic test app (all tests pass) and run the "Test Speakers",
the rear
left speaker is identified properly; and the right front speaker is
identified as rear right and no speakers are identified as front.
When I
downloaded the updates from the SB web site and attempted to
install them I
received a messge saying that no sound blaster cards were detected.
My
physical h/w configuration has not been touched during the
re-install of
windows.

Any suggestions for getting my audio system working properly again
would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks
