Conflict with Sbdrvdet.exe from Sound Blaster

NIS 2009 installs fine but as soon as the sbdrvdet.exe /r (file date 12/31/02) driver runs as part of windows startup NIS 2009 will no longer startup. I disabled sbdrvdet.exe using msconf as a workaround. I have an Asus A8N-SLI motherboard.  NIS 2007 did not have a problem with the sbdrvdet.exe file. Anyone else with this problem?
