Installing Audigy 2 zs in Vista Beta2

Hi, Download the beta2 drivers from soundblaster.com. Then Reboot into SAFE MODE and log in as Admimistrator locate the files and install. Reboot and they should work fine with the Windows Vista programs. But,I have not had any luck with the Soundblaster applications. Maybe when the full version comes out Good Luck Lou

We have the same sound card. I downloaded the beta driver for Vista from creative.com. I was able to install it and no problem. I did not logged into safe mode at all, I just installed it the normal way.
But before that, I tried to install the driver from my original soundblaster disk and it went fine, but since sounblaster has this beta driver for Vista, I downloaded it and tried to install that but my computer crashed, so what I did is I uninstalled the previous driver and installed this beta driver and it went fine. So if you want, you should uninstall the driver in your soundblaster first before you install the beta driver. Or in your case, before you try to install in the normal way, not in safe mode, uninstall the driver first and then reinstall the beta driver.
The only thing I did not like, is that the beta driver doesn't come with a software of any kind in order to calibrate the speakers. You can calibrate from Vista but it's kind of limited. Let us know how it went. Good Luck!
