Q: Why do I get the Blue-screen of death after loading Liveware 3.0 for Creative SBLive! Sound card under Windows ME?
A: It's caused by a conflict between Liveware 3.0 and the HPT driver. Please manually reserve IRQ5 for legacy ISA in the BIOS PnP/PCI submenu. Please refer below:
PnP/PCI configurations->Resources controlled by ->manual->IRQ->IRQ5 assigned to --legacy ISA-- Save & Exit Setup . One more suggestion, disable unused COM ports and the LPT port to release more IRQ resources.
