no.. it's not thew2k disc.. Creative may be at fault here..
I recently (read: last 6 months) purchased a philips "value" soundcard and after a reformat the same thing happened to me.
Here is what i did to get it working again

Try to install soundcard and drivers on another known working computer.

If that woks then go back to your PC and make sure every other driver is updated and working.

Uninstall any instances of the sound drivers you have on your computer now

Go to the manufacturer's website and download their latest drivers

put on a floppy, or burn to a mini cd if the file is small , but too big to fit on a floppy.

Take this and install it to a directory (if it's an exe or zip)

Take the needed driver (not any of the bass boost or Qsound stuff.. just the base ini files) and try installing only that on your comp.

Hope that helps.. after bout 4 months of no sound it came to me in a vision one day and it worked fine.. but then again I had a different setup than you.

Good luck!
