is anybody having any luck with acoustic edge web driver update?

i'm running W2k/98SE dual OS and i was able to run web drivers update successfully on my W2k. But oddly, when i tried to run the same thing on my 98SE side, all i get is this message saying that i don't have a philips card and that i can't update drivers until i install the card. of course i installed drivers with the CD that came with the soundcard, and it's properly installed(i don't see no "!" mark in my hardware device manager"...

anybody have any idea?

by the way why can't phillips just distribute new drivers in their ftp site, like normal people? their web-update feature is awkward to use at best!
