Creative Gameport driver?

I recently installed Vista. Among other things, my Audigy sound card was not
installed. Being the prepared kind of guy that I am, I had downloaded the
latest Vista drivers for the Audigy from Creative.com. They work great, but
the Gameport driver doesn't seem to install. No matter what I do, it always
shows up in Device Manager as an Unknown Device. I've reinstalled the driver
for the whole sound card, and even updated the driver through Microsoft
Update, but have had no luck. Any ideas?
 
I was unable to get the driver from Creative to install at all for my Audigy
2, I have been using the motherboard built in sound since I installed Vista.
Can I inquire where you got this download from?
 
Go to http://www.creative.com. Click on Support, then Downloads. Choose
your world region, country, and language., then Go. Click Sound Blaster,
then Audigy, then Audigy 2 (or whatever your card is). then Next. Choose
language again, then Windows Vista, then Driver, then Go. You will find one
driver on their site for Audigy 2.

When I try to install the Gameport with those drivers(which work fine for
sound) The install fails with an error:

Windows found driver software for your device but unountered an error while
attempting to install it.
Creative Game Port
An error occurred during the installation of the device:
The driver installation file for this device is missing a necessary entry.
This may be because tehINF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your
hardware vendor.
