does anyone know what this error means and how to get rid of it ?

CTcms.exe.............I have Creative Soundblaster Live24 after an update from XP, I can no longer play my music on my Creative media Source . I've ran a scan from Uniblue, Panda, Adaware.....no joy. Please help.

Bonny, all I can help with is tell you that the .exe extention is an executiable file which makes your computer do something. I suggest that you do a system restore to a point that everything was working properly.

Hi Dave,thanks I will try that, I have sent numerous messages off to Creative Source, up till now, not a word from them.Is it a case of " we have your money, now go suck on a lemon ?

K;I'm firing an arrow in the dark here because I'm much better with my hands on it & in front of it,because I do build them.I have a CT media player & my speakers also are CT.I'm thinking when U did the XP update perhaps your music & player was restored back to default=WMP,so then CT player goes in to storage so to speak,for WMP will open auto.U need to return CT as ur default.player,thus U will see all song icons will re-appear as CT presents them,not WMP icons.Have they changed by the way?That will tell me alot.I only do system retore as last resort,but that is your option after if U can not correct this.And restore by the way is harmless anyhow.Tell me after if this has helped K.Godspeed!Cybear((bear~hug));=)

I know that type of attitude as well Bonny... Good luck and I hope it works for you. BTW... congrats on you and MG, I wish you both the very best!
