Please Help - Need help with soundcard drivers

Hi

I want to use Gigastudio.  I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum Pro, and a Creamware Pulsar II.  It seems that running Gigastudio with the creamware under windows XP may not happen, due to non-compatability with WinXP.  Have e-mail creamware to ask, have got no specific responses other than "GSIF drivers are packaged with SCOPE 4.0" but no other explanation and no accounting for whether the drivers work under Win XP or not.  The Audigy Platinum Pro also has GSIF drivers, but only under Kx Project drivers.  Unfortunately Kx Project drivers do not support recording 24/96, only 24/48.  So I would like to keep my present Audigy drivers, but use the GSIF for gigastudio.
The only way I can do this (to my knowledge) is to maintain two sets of drivers for the same card.  I am not sure whether I can install one without ridding myself of the other so my first question is?

Can I swap drivers for my Audigy on a single installation of Windows XP Pro? If so, how?
Is it possible to install a different set of drivers for a different user, without deleting the drivers for the original user?
Is the only way this will be possible is to install another Windows XP on the same hard drive and use one set of drivers for one windows and the other set for the other?
Does anyone have any suggesions as to making my creamware card work with gsif?  The problem seems to be that I cannot recieve midi while in Gigastudio...

Thanks in advance

Not likely, but creating separate Hardware Profiles (under System Properties) might work.

Your safest bet, though hardly elegant.
