SB Live/Win2k

I got a problem with my SB Live 5.1 in Win2k.
Everytime I restart windows I only get sound through the front left and front right speaker, rear speakers and center speaker do nothing.
If I go to the creative diagnostics program and select another speakerset (4 speakers or 5.1 speakers) then everything works like it should. If I then change it back to what it was then it works fine too. The only time it doesn't work right it when I first enter windows.
Also, when everything works right, the creative diagnostics prog is supposed to say "front left, center, front right, rear left, rear right" and of course "front left" is supposed to come out of the front left speaker, center through the center speaker and so on. It should do the same when testing the 4 speaker config but then it skips the center speaker.
When I just entered windows I only hear front left and front right, the others play too but there's no sound coming out of them.
I recently traded my Abit KT7A-RAID motherboard for an Epox 8K7A+ but that didn't really work good so I changed it back.
The sound worked fine with the Epox board in win2k, I'm using the exact same drivers as I was using then.
I'm now using the updated 2k/XP drivers from creative, that doesn't help either.
I used Creative Diagnostics, Winamp and Media Player to test the 4 speaker config.
I used Creative Diagnostics and PowerDVD 4.0 XP Pro (6 speaker edition) to test the 5.1 speaker config.
It's not a really big problem since I can fix it until I reboot but it is annoying.

I may have found a possible solution, would anyone happen to have a Win2K Directx7.0 DSound.dll file for me?
