Also with ALi motherboards, set 'PCI Latency' in the BIOS to 10: some systems may have problems at any greater setting (i.e. 16,32, etc.).
If you get bad horizontal lines (with movement) when used with the Soundblaster Live Player 5.1., enable 'Delay Transaction' in the BIOS or using another soundcard will eliminate the line problem.

- Run WTVDRV43_19301.EXE. This will unpack the driver and start the driver installation.
