Uninstall Creative drivers for Windows 98SE
---------------------------------------------------------

The procedure below describes uninstalling the Creative
drivers with Windows 98SE.

I should note here that I tried using DRIVER CLEANER before
trying the method described below but had no luck. After
deleting all Creative drivers in the Control panel,
uninstalling all the Creative programs, running DRIVER
CLEANER and REGCLEAN, on bootup, Windows would find the
Creative drivers and reinstall them.

It should also be noted that very few of the ideas below
came out of my head. I stole the ideas from other KX
users.

---------------------------------------------------------     

The uninstallation/installation described below was for
a CT4830 SBLive! Value card. Depending on your card, you
may be looking to delete different files than I describe
below. The process, however, should be fairly similar

Start->Settings->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs
Remove the following Programs:

Creative Launcher
Creative Play Center
Creative Recorder
Sound Blaster Live! Value

Start->Settings->Control Panel->System->Device Manager Tab
Under Creative Miscellaneous Devices:
Remove;

Creative Gameport Joystick
Creative Multimedia Interface
Creative SB16 Emulation

Under Sound, video and game controllers:
Remove;
Creative SB Live! Value

You want to get rid of all the SBLive INF files so
Use Windows Explorer. Browse to this folder

C:\WINDOWS\INF

Do a CRTL+F to bring up the search window
Type in the info below in the Name and Location Tab:

Named: *.inf
Containing Text: SBLive!
(Note, you may need to search for
other words depending on what card
you have installed i.e. "Audigy")

The following files were found on my computer: 

CreativeCtom10k1.inf
Ctgt10k1.inf
Ctmisc.inf
Ctom10k1.inf
Emu10k1.inf
Sb16awe.inf

It is a good idea to double click these files
and read them with notepad to make sure they are
something you want to get rid of.

Rather than deleting them, I renamed each one
with a *.IMP extension instead of *.inf, just in case.

Decided to get rid of the SBLive DOS drivers so:
Start->Run->Sysedit

Edit the AutoExec.bat file:
delete or REMARK out the following lines by
typing REM in front of each line

REM SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330  T6
REM SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS
REM C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM

Save the Autoexec.bat file.

If you are planning to use a second Creative Labs card,
Shutdown now and install the card in your motherboard.
