PLEASE HELP: Cannot Install Driver For SB Live CT4

Hi, guys. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
My computer's pretty old. It's a Dell Dimension 8200 that I bought in 200.
I recently did a fresh install of Windows XP, because I like to do so every half year or so to keep my computer running smoothly. This time, however, for some reason it's been giving me issues with detecting the sound card and whatnot.
I opened up the motherboard and it says the product model is the Creative Sound Blaster Li've! CT4780. I went to both the Dell and Creative support pages to download/install the appropriate drivers, but every time I do so I am incessantly barraged with the following message:
"Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audio Card on your system. Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program. Setup will now exit."
I have no idea WHY it's not detecting it, so I opened up the motherboard again and made sure the sound card looked to be securely in place. Still, I get the same message.
Also: when I go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Device Manager, I don't see my sound card listed there. I DO, however, see a category for "Other Devices" (with a question mark beside it) that lists "Multimedia Controller" and "Multimedia Video Controller."
Could "Multimedia Controller" be my sound card?
I don't know if I'm making any sense here. Please, please help!

Are you trying to use the disc or did you download the most current set of drivers from the HP website?
Here is the most recent version of the full feature drivers for your printer and OS:

  • Cannot install driver for a HP Deskjet 3420 connected to a PC.

    I have a HP deskjet 3420 printer connected to a PC using Windows XP SP2 via USB. I've shared the printer and it works perfectly with other laptop in my LAN. Now I want to share it with me MBP, but I cannnot find its driver in the driver list.
    I've chose the HP Deskjet Series, HP Deskjet 340C (Gutenprint), and I have installed the full HP driver from the Leopard install disc. But I still cannot find the driver in the list.
    Could anyone please help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't have a Snow Leopard machine in front of me, so I can't tell you how to set it up. I did set it up for a friend of mine awhile ago, but I wasn't paying attention to exactly how, because it's so simple.
    Apple does include the HP DeskJet 9800 driver with Snow Leopard, so you should be able to select it for use. I'd read these two documents and see if they don't help you get this setup correctly:

  • Cannot install driver for HP Laserjet 1022 Printer.

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit.  When I attempt to install the driver for the HP Laserjet 1022 Printer, although the software recognized that the printer existed (ergo must be plugged into the computer), I keep getting the message that installation is being held up until I connect the printer to the computer.  Any suggestions?
    Thank you

    Hi mtnkeena2,
    Use a different USB cable to see if the computer can then see the printer.

  • Please help I need driver for HP2540 for Mac OSX 10.5.8

    Hi There
    I just purchased the HP 2540 deskjet and tried to install drivers but it seems that the CD only supports OSX 10.6 and up??? I cannot get printer to print anything so can anyone send me a link to the correct driver for me for OSX 10.5 or is there just no driver available?
    Many Thanks in advance if you can help me!

    Sorry, but 10.5 has been officially unsupported by both Apple and HP for over a year, maybe two (I lost track).
    You could try to substitute another driver from another HP model, but its a guessing game.
    Update your driver set here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/HP_Printer_Driver_1_1_1  Restart your Mac after you install this.
    It may be time to move on from 10.5.

  • HELP: cannot Install oraclei for linux(8.1.6.1.0) on Redhat7.0

    I met a very curious problem. That was after I had install most of that product, the step went to Database Config Assistant and there were 4 steps but the process was always died at the step 3, that was Initiating Database in the processing of creating database. When I used ps -ef |grep oracle, I can always find a defunct process which was concern about oracle installation.
    Further more, I found a installation guide which said it has to change the glib2.1.92 to glib2.1.3 on redhat and followed that steps, but it even cannot configure the database(step 1 of creating database).
    Please help me.
    yours sincerely.
    The components of my PC as following:
    CPU 400 MHZ
    Memory 128M

    I guess the problem is not enough memory. You could try to install without the startup database and create the first database manually after the installation. You probably will see the database somehow gets created but it won't start for some errors.
    I ran into similar situations on a Sun workstation. The trick is at least 256 MB of memory. Also, change the number of processes from default 150 (15 users, 10 processes for each) down to totally 5 processes. That will let the first database start easily.

  • Need help in installing driver for my X-Fi Go!

    ? It've been very frustrating to keep trying to install the drivers for my X-Fi Go!
    I've tried the beta driver,the stable release driver,all to no avail.
    Errors during installation.
    One of such - > http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/935/asdel.jpg
    And
    The very famous,Error I-00,which have yet to be resolved.
    I've tried what it takes to somehow bypass this I-00 error but to no avail.
    Using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bits here,used to be able to install the drivers in Windows XP x86.
    I seriously need my sound driver to be installed.
    Appreciated anyone's effort in helping.
    It would be best if one of the Creative's staffs approaches me.
    This's definitely getting up my nerves.

    Well surprisingly,i've managed to install the driver without any problems upon following your given instructions.
    But sadly,soon after i was greeted with errors after launching both the 'Console Launcher' and 'Audio Control Panel'.
    Errors as shown below,respecti'vely.

  • Please Help - Cannot install both versions of Garageband

    I am operating on Yosemite and have Garageband 10, but I need to download and install 5.1 (Garageband '09) in order to retrieve certain loops that came with that version that are important to me for certain tracks that I have been working on.
    After downloading the '09 version from Apple for free I ran into an error when attempting to install it on my computer. It says "This update does not need to be installed. A newer version of Garageband is already installed."
    So that's it. I can't figure out how get around this error.
    Also, I am assuming that by reinstalling '09 I will be able to retrieve the old loops that I need, unless someone else knows where/how to get these. They were part of the original set that came with the program.
    Of course I could just delete the newer version, but I would rather not if I can help it, you know?
    Anyway, thank you!

    the problem is that you didn't D/L GBv5 ('09), you D/Led the update for version 5 to v5.1, not the entire v5 installation.
    you'd need to either restore GBv5 from a backup, or buy a copy of GBv5 (or v6) from someplace like eBay or Amazon (it's not available for free from Apple)

  • Cannot install driver for IQ Sound mp3 player

    I'm trying to load software for my IQ Sound mp3 player, but my Toshiba laptop does not recognize the driver on the disc.  What should I do?

    I can't say with any certainty what the compatibility is between your mp3 player and your Toshiba laptop. Maybe you should check on the support website of the mp3 player as well if you haven't already.

Then when I try and install the driver I get the following Error: "The Specified service does not exist as an installed service"?How do I fix this?

    OK didn't work. Still getting the same error.
