Could that be perhaps because no driver is required? Did you ask the manufacturer if a driver was needed?

What happens when you plug the device into a working usb port? Any notification of hardware found? other?

Not on XP32, they simply wont release it. Propperly because they have made it hugemongosly huge.

It's unheard of for a company to release a product that requires drivers and not include them with the product. I'd be on their a$$ like stink on hoocky. Send them 40-50 emails per day until they give you a positive reponse. Use the CC or BC in your email program and copy the first email address then paste it numerous times in the CC or BC box... that will get their attention

like this:

support@creative.com;support@creative.com;
then just keep pasting the address in the CC or BC box and that will send all emails at once.

I know that this is an old post but I found it through Google when having the same problem as the original poster. I finally found the drivers and thought I'd share them with those who have also lost their installations CD's but would still like to use their old Live! Effects.
