Update problem

[silver_nations]

Hey everybody. A few days ago I bought a cheap sound card to run my 7.1 system and so I could get away from the crappy quality of on-board. Well i ran into a few probs. I installed the drivers that came with it and it worked fine but every time I try install the updated drivers from the site they crackle and pop a lot. Should I just stick with the ones that come with it? Also Im using XP Pro. Here is the sound card I bought....CLICK

Also...for the longest time, when my computer starts up. The new found hardware wizard would pop asking me what I want it to do. It never seemed to recognize the drivers(I couldnt install them through the wizard in the beginning because I kept running into problems. So I just did it through the creative program.) That no longer pops up since I brought the comp to a tech for some HD work and since its crackling again Im guessing he installed the new drivers. So Im pretty sure that when I install the drivers that came with it the install wizard will start giving me problems again. What would any of you guys suggest I do to stop this from happening? Is there a manual override or anything? Ive thought about just uninstalling the wizard completely.
