X-Fi Beta driver problems with Standby

[Kurt]

I recently noticed that my desktop PC wouldn't recover properly from S3 standby anymore, resulting in a complete freeze-up and the need to reset/reboot the computer.

My first thought was faulty hardware, so I unplugged all peripherals, without success.

I then rolled back recent driver updates and tested inbetween, such as NIC, Saitek peripheral and even graphics (NV) drivers and eventually the X-Fi beta drivers dated June 2.

That finally fixed it. I updated the rest of the drivers again and everything's back in working order now.

I thought I'd post this in case someone encounters similar problems.

PS: Forgot to mention: My board is a P35 and WinXP SP3 is installed.

Yeah I usually wait for them to release the final versions of the driversets but knowing Creative their final release = beta for most other companies LOL.
