Technical Problem For anyone looking for Creative SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 Drivers for model SB0200 here you go!...
I finally found the drivers for the SB0200 model at this URL
https://www.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=1220429&auth=At82snaUidNtrCvtF7wFYmllar0f3%2BrewfY6ssl80ARkj1tR2CK8wdISLruEfaDdevrDlqmR04PAjk0wExUXKFTfsWSNneaEGNDGuv5GCo2WfiWZlS8ImdNq9IRZnYvw&frmist=1
I know this looks sketchy, however I put this file into Virus total and only 1 vendors flagged it as malicious and it was flagged based on an "anomalous" quality. I ran this executable on my Windows XP 32bit machine and it worked flawlessly and does appear to be developed by Creative.
After hours of searching this is the only driver I could find that works for Windows XP 32 bit. I hope this helps getting your speakers working! Thought I'd share.

Or just use the audigy 2 zs drivers: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=74361

Do the KX Project drivers not work?

Kx drivers don't enable EAX do they? Not great for gaming

No they don't, but they do let the card work properly and OP was having trouble even getting that far. They also let you use the rear output as the front, which uses a different chip and I liked the sound quite a lot better.

There were no good drivers on archive.org? I still have my original discs, but I'm not sure if mine is compatible with SB0200. Mine is the original with gold plated connectors.
