Welcome to windrivers carmendola11. If you have the pci128 based on the es1371 chip, then you have installed the wrong driver. According to creative:

There are no driver updates for PCI 128 (CT4700) and PCI 64 cards based on the ES1370, ES1371 and ES1373 Chipsets for Windows Me/2000/XP - you must use the drivers built into these operating systems.

Uninstall the creative drivers, delete all instances of the card in device manager, and let windows redetect the card.
