Warning SB Live users: Liveware 3.0!!!

by Jlarson » Sat, 13 Nov 1999 04:00:00

For all SBLive usersI downloaded Liveware 3.0 (all 28 megs) and installed
it.  It created big problems with my resources (PIII 500, 128 ram, Voodoo 3,
DX7) and made, for instance, GP500 choppy and slow even on lower settings.
Before, it ran smooth maxed-out.  Worse, it messed with my Windows drivers, for
instance, I could no longer exit Windows 98 through WindowsI'd have to exit
or restart manually.  I uninstalled Liveware 3.0 and reinstalled the original
drivers and everything works fine.

Liveware 3.0, BTW, now automatically uninstalls your original Liveware software
and drivers.

Everything fine here - LW 3.0 offered more clear sound to me and more game
profiles than 2.1.
Something is wrong....Have you tried to disable the Live! Launcher? It has
some bugs that behave as you described.

I have the same problem with liveware 3.0
win 98 never shuts down now, it always just restarts, and I noticed it has
eaten up huge amounts of resources. They need a patch for this.

Yo!

Stay away from Liveware 3.0. It adds nothing useful, but may cause alot of
trouble. For those of you who uses soundfonts, Liveware 3.0 is a true
disaster. It erases your soundfont settings after each reboot. Also, my
previous EAX-settings disapperared.

Liveware 3.0 isn't worth the download.

I have to disagree,  Liveware3.0 reduces the size of your registry by
over 3MB!  That may not seem like much and I am sure people are saying
who care about and extra 3MB on my hard drive, but I am talking about
3MB of keys and values written as text into your registry, over 14,000
lines of text now gone.  Each and every one of those lines had the
potential to crash your computer.  SB made a big leap forward in
reducing the footprint the SB Live made on you computers operating
system.  I have had no problem since installing Liveware 3.0 and by
the way the readme did explain how to save and restore your EAX
settings.

I can't even install the ***! It decompresses everything, tells me about
starting the setup, and that's it. The system doesn't freeze, it just never
starts the setup...

Yo!

I may be that Liveware 3.0 makes sence, but I cannot see how. Firstly, I had
trouble installing the thing. By reading postings in
creative.prooducts.sound_blaster.live, I have found that this is a common
problem. I had problems also, but in a mysterious way, the thing installed
eventually.

Secondly, installing Liveware 3 is a bad thing if you have been using
SoundFonts. Liveware 3.0 resets your Soundfont settings each time you turn
on your computer. I had to edit the registry manually to fix this problem.

It may be that Liveware 3.0 reduces the size of the registry. It most
certainly deleted my SoundFont informations from the registry.

If you are happy with a previos version of Liveware, stay away from LiveWare
3.0. In my opinion, it adds - if anything - nothing but trouble.
