I've seen reports and have read that the Creative Live soundcard doesn't like Windows XP very much, especially on some motherboards. You may be among the few that might have this problem. Its not common, but it happens. Also, I'm not even sure its possible to run DX 8.0 with Windows XP, because it ships with DX 8.1, and its supposed to be pretty dang hard to uninstall that and go with an earlier version of DX, if not nigh impossible. You might go with what feldon23 says and try some 12.xx or 23.xx drivers, but if it locks up with the sound on, I'd point to a soundcard driver.
