Why do I keep getting an emu101k.vxd error

[Einztein]

I´ve installed windows 3 times now cleand regedit of everything from soundblaster. I´ve been upgrading from the old live´card to the live 1024 but my system says there is an emu10k1.vxd error at some address, everytime windows loads an sound. I don´t understand it because I´ve uninstalled everything and cleand regedit of everything from soundblaster but I still get the same error. I´ve been changing slot yes but the same error. Please help me quick if you can.

This is probably pretty obvious but I have to ask... Do you have an Eu101k.vxd file on your system? I have a soundblaster Live (value) and I don't have that file on a WinNT4 system. Have you searched your registry for Emu101k.vxd to see if it is a legacy file from your last sound card?

Dear sdt,

Yes, I´ve searched, found and deleted all entries in my registry and I´ve deleted the file in c:\windows\system and then reinstalled windows, but the file is only on the sound blaster cd so windows don´t seem to solve anything. I´m out of ideas I´m thinking about deleting windows but not if you or anyone could tell me how to solve the problem. I just thought that cleaning up the registry would solve it and deleting the file in windows.

I have a reference to that file in my registry for 98. I don't have a soundblaster card either. I'm wondering if something is calling to that file?

[Einztein]

Dear Nathan,

Yes, Creative SB live! 1024
and Creative Multimedia Interface in prob. for this computer. I´ve tried to disable either one of them but that didn´t solve anything it just says that this res. is used by another unit.

I believe it was mmsystem002 or something sim. I believe that winamp is calling this file but anyway when windows plays an *.wav file the same error emu10k1.vxd appears.

Can you help me ?

I'd try to uninstall the following (I don't think it should matter which order you do it in):

1. Sound card, in device manager (don't reboot yet).

2. Winamp

3. Possibly any other program like winamp. I don't think it's necessary to delete the media player at this point. But that might be an option in the future.


Then reboot into safe mode and make sure the sound card is deleted out of device manager. Then reboot and let windoze redetect the sound card.

Winamp has been known to create some havoc in systems, FYI.

Thanks alot I´ll try it then I´ll post if it works.

Sorry tried it but it didn´t work. Now I´m lost I don´t see any way around trying a deltree but maybe you knew some thing else?

P.S. I´ve tried to delete windos98se and as I installed the SB 1024 live! card on my cuc2000 mobo as the first thing I installed I got the emu10k1.vxd again. What the hell is wrong????????????????????

I´ve got my card up runing by installing the standart sound Blaster live! drivers from creative but it dosn´t work with my 1024 driver cd don´t know why
