    You might try updating/reinstalling your Sigmatel drivers.

    If you arnt using one of the audio drivers the creative software is "sanctioned", you can't use it. Alot of people find this out when they have the creative software, but after reinstalling they download newer drivers from elsewhere on the web, and the creative program thinks you trying to run it on another laptop.
