So what if you can't use the installers? Unpack the darn thing and install it yourself.
if it needs registry entries and something is broken, put the keys into the wow64 section and that will sort it out.

Not Microsoft's fault. Whomever made the motherboard or soundcard (or whatever addon you use) has to make the drivers. Blame creativelabs if that's what you're talking about.

Or just buy a gameport to usb adapter. Gameport is just to old to bother supporting.
