| 197915 | 2003-12-06 09:52:00 | A google search finds this :- Not responding" on shutdown or problems at startup are the most common problems associated with this task. There are some workarounds that sometimes work. For both Windows 2000 and XP a solution that often works is to remove all sound items from "Control Panel \ Administrative Tools \ Device Manager", de-install any Creative SoundBlaster software from "Add/Remove Programs", then search your hard disk for DEVLDR.EXE and rename or delete it, then delete/disable it in "Control Panel \ Administrative Tools \ Services", and finally download and install the latest SoundBlaster Live software. Under Windows XP, instead of installing the latest SoundBlaster Live software you can opt to restart your PC, and when prompted for the drivers for the re-detected soundcard, use the Windows XP CD so that the XP drivers are used rather than the Creative drivers (the same sometimes works with Windows 2000 SP3, although no CD is required in that case). Walking away from Creative Labs has also been suggested to us as an option... |

| 197916 | 2003-12-06 10:03:00 | Do you have a soundblaster live? If not then you can safely remove devldr.exe. The easiest way is to click START > RUN and type msconfig then click OK. Go to the Startup tab and uncheck the devldr.exe process. If you do have a soundblaster live, you can still follow the above procedure, however the best thing to do would be to download and install the latest soundblaster live drivers which fix this issue. You can find the latest drivers here (asia.creative.com) the file you are after is "LiveDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe" |

| 197918 | 2003-12-06 10:21:00 | If devldr.exe isn't listed in the Startup tab of msconfig, click on the services tab, then check the "Hide all Microsoft services" checkbox. devldr.exe should be listed here, if it is uncheck it, if it isn't then by all accounts the new driver removes the process anyway. |
