Windows wont boot after driver installation

[bbaction101]

After I installed Windows 7 64bit I found out that I had no sound so I went and download the latest driver for my Creative Labs X-fi Xtream gamer audio card. After I installed it and then restarted the regular "starting windows" came up for a few seconds but then went a way and loaded into the recovery manager where it wants to do a system restore, but I am stuck now in a loop of it trying to restore and then restarting with no progress. If the CL driver is the problem is there anyway I can get audio in windows 7 if the driver prevents me from starting up?

Booting into "Safe Mode" and rolling back the driver should get you back to being able to boot.

Strange thing is... it does the same thing even when trying safe mode

Have you tried removing the sound card and then booting up?
