    Did you install XP over your previous XP, or did you do the Format C:/ and then install it?

    formatted and installed.
    in the device manager there is no creative cad just "multimedia audio controller".
    i've tried to find drivers but with no luck.

    That link i gave you... Try it and goto "soundBlaster > Others > Archived products"

    Im sure it will be one of them.... Try PCI128 that was a popular card... (sorry, the chip numbers you gave in your first post, i cant think of what they would go with)
