CreativeSB Live upgrade for winXP

Since upgrading my Dimension 4100 from win98 to XP, my Creative SB Live doesn't work, needing audio devices, etc. What and where do I get the upgrades for my SB Live in order to work correctly with XP? I need specific files for the Creative SB Live that came preloaded on my Dimension 4100. Thanks in advance to all.

GWDJR:

To access downloads for your system, hover your mouse over the Product Support link above and select Downloads. Then enter your service tag number and your operating system and the instructions will be listed for you. There is an XP driver listed for Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! 512V. Good luck!

You can also download drivers directly from the Creative site for the Dell installed sound cards. I have updated from the Creative site before and haven't had any issues.

Thanks for the info. I downloaded and executed r37379.exe for Creative SBLive, however I continue to get "Failed to Initialize Mixer" message. Did you get the same Mixer message and if so, how did you handle it? Thanks again.
