I followed Bangcuoi's file path to my original Creative Audigy 2 ZS CD. I was reinstalling Windows XP because of some other problems. The install kept stopping and asking me to find this file. When Windows found it using the path to via D;\audio\drivers\wdm\win2k_xp another Windows message said the Creative Audigy Audio Processor (WDM) has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatiblity w/ Windows XP. MS strongly recommends you stop this install. I said proceed and it brought up another Creative driver it couldn't find. I abort the reinstall. Will reload the Creative Audigy.
