GPL and WinXP

I am considering upgrading to Win XP, I could never get GPL to run properly when I tried it on Win2K, so went to back Win98SE. Has anyone tried GPL on WinXP ?. Any pro's or con's, comments? Thanks Edward

I run GPL just fine on my system but it took me a bit to find sound drivers that would work.

Ed, I just went through this last week and found an SBlive fix for XP with a google search, follow instructions. <snip> First, download the driver "SB51_W2K.exe": http://www.europe.creative.com/support/drivers/latest.asp NOTE: You can use this driver for any version of the SoundBlaster Live sound card. (Value, MP3, 5.1, etc.) 1.. Make new folder on c: drive and name it "sblive". 2.. Save SB51_W2K.exe in the sblive folder run it to decompress the files (this won't start the installation yet). 3.. In a start/run box type - c:\sblive\sbl51.exe /w <-- the "/w" switch is very IMPORTANT !!! It asks which files should be overwritten in case of a version conflict. 4.. When prompted to replace devldr32.exe with an older version click "NO". 5.. Replace ANY other files with their older versions (click "YES"). 6.. You should now have crackle free sound! The above driver also contains the Mixer and AudioHQ. They work perfectly now! <snip> This fixed my sound and FF problems but still trying to get glide to work in XP :-P DN "Edward_C" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Vuow7.161882$[email hidden]...
