If you haven't removed the Creative card, cleaned its contacts with alcohol wipe and reinserted it after allowing the alcohol to dry, by all means try that first. I've seen it bring the assumed "dead" card back to life several times on different machines. On one other machine, it was not the Creative card at all, it turned out to be a faulty PSU in the puter. Replacing the PSU brought the card back to full operation again. This even though the rest of the computer appeared to be working just fine.

Take a hard look at the Presonus VSL.

Unfortunately, the days of the wonderful built in MIDI sampler and the Creative cards are evidently gone forever. Far too few of us turned out to be MIDIOT enough to justify the endeavor, boo.

of course, you might find a working used original Live! card still out there...
