Windows 2000
(Service Pack 3)
Locating, downloading and installing updates for your Creative products is now simpler and faster with
the new web-based Creative Software AutoUpdate system.
Instead of spending valuable time searching for individual files to download and install for each of your
installed Creative products, let Creative Software AutoUpdate do the work for you.
When you connect to creative Software AutoUpdate via the Internet, the website will analyze your
computer system to determine what operating system (OS), language and Creative products are installed
in our system.
After the online analysis, you will be able to select from a list of only the most relevant software and
driver updates. The files will then be dynamically retrieved and installed on your system for you. As the
files are customised for your specific OS, language and Creative hardware, they are smaller and take less
time to download, compared to the huge generic multi-language files available via non-customised
software downloads. To find out more about Creative Software AutoUpdate, go to http://

❑ First-time users of Creative Software AutoUpdate may be prompted to authorise the download of a
