Question Problem with Creative Game Port Driver and Issue With Minimization

[MajorPager]

I have a Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS sound card installed in an old Dell computer with Windows 7 on it and I can't get this one driver to work.
I believe the Hardware ID is pci\ven_1102&dev_7003&subsys_00401102&rev_04
Each time I try to install any sort of driver it pops up with the same error, something about a missing INF file or other.
Do I write it off as non-compatible with Win-7 or do I keep searching for a working driver?

Although I ran into another problem, every time I try to play a game, after a couple of seconds it minimizes itself to the desktop and it's quite infuriating. I've searched it up on google and haven't really found anyway to get rid of it. It also does this with regular windows too, except it only unselects them and not minimizes them.

I owned the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum (non-Pro) and from my research I see;

you should be able to download the drivers and install them.

Make sure to install the driver in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator. Also see if your platform's motherboard is pending any BIOS updates.

Do you have all the Microsoft .net updates that Windows 7 had at the time. The last place I found them was majorgeeks.com but it's been awhile.

I remember back in the day if you were missing the .nets hell even installing a GPU driver glitched out with no install.

I've got all the updates Windows 7 has ever received including most versions of .Net framework installed.

What resolution are you using. 1024x768 was common back than AKA like 1920x 1080 today. You could give it a try and see if games stay up.
