i have the solution
simply use your xp driver for vista
to do this right click on driver's setup go properties-> compatibility
and check the box Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows Xp service Pack 2
then click ok
now you are able to install it your creative sound card on vista
install it and enjoy
for any problem

Sorry Faisal, that didnt work for me...It was one of the things I'd already tried out. It does install the XP driver under vista, but I wasnt able to get 5.1 audio..the output came as only 2.1.

Finally after getting a reply from Creative that development of the particular driver wasnt on the anvil anytime soon, I returned the 5.1 card, and got an Audigy 7.1...It does send 5.1 output to my 5.1 speakers....

Thanks for posting anyway!
