WMP11 not launching/reading after sound card driver update

After I installed the new driver for my Soundblaster card WMP no longer
launches.

I have to go into the file folder and click on the .exe file and then press
"Continue" when prompted by the User Account Control to launch it. Even after
it has launched it will not play any recently downloaded mp3 files.

I tried a system restore point from a week earlier, but this did not fix the
problem.

Any ideas? I'm really not digging Creative Labs right now.

You might find more help on Creative's forum>

What, specifically, Creative card, what, specifically, driver version?

I'm using the X-Fi Xtreme Audio with the driver version 1.0.0.1; the newest
Vista compatibility driver.

My bad, that is the driver I am using. The 1.0.0.1 was the file version.

I still think you might find better and quicker help on a Creative forum,
especially if this is a wide spread problem with that card and that driver. At
least you have a better chance of catching Creative's attention.

I have a different X-Fi card and driver, and have not had a problem such as
yours.
