X-Fi Weirdness.. help?

[TechHead]

Just reinstalled my X-Fi.. getting the following error in XP SP2:tried it in PCI slots 1 and 3.System in sig.

Message in Device Manager:

Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

WTF? I uninstalled, went to Safe Mode, ran Registry Cleaner and Driver Cleaner Pro, no go.. keep getting this error. I just got UT3 and I want to play it, dammit!

Help?

Are you trying to install wrong drivers perhaps?

 

[magnetik]

I know this may sound weird.. but manually download the drivers from creative, extract the drivers with winrar.. then run Ctzapxx.exe

See if it gives you the option to remove and install WDM drivers. Do both

Whenever I have problems with my XFi drivers, this always seem to work.
