    I formatted my laptop 3 times in the past 1 week... :eek:
    and also re-installed WindowsXP 3 times and each time I have to took much time for installing all drivers.

    But--when I installed a fresh system today and tried to install the Creative Sound Blaster, it showed that "your active code is expired"...
    anybody knows the reason? Does it mean that I can use it just 3 times? I paid 25$ and can use it 3 times?

    Thanks a lot. :confused:

    Hmmm. Did it ever work before the last reinstall?

    It could be that Creative is receiving multiple installations of their software and they're probably restricting you from installing it a third time. Try contacting Creative.
