I have a old creative Live value sound card which only worked in XP the vista drivers were never released, so can I connect that card & install the XP drivers in XP mode & make the card usable under windows7 XP mode?

That Card does not have windows 7 drivers either.

If you ever do find a way to get this to work, let me know. A friend of mine inherited my old Live! card and I'd let to get it working for him.

Though, I think he said he got some drivers for it installed but sound was wonky. I'll need to ask him more about this later.

currently it (VPC) emulates all the hardware except the CPU and USB (although it is emulated somewhat....)
