Hi Toby,
First I would try to install the hardware and look if Windows will already have correct drivers. If this would fail:
Option one: I don't know about the Creative website but if the have an automatic installment you will get guided through the procedure.
The second option would be that you download a driver installment program to your computer (desktop or a location of your choice, i.e. a folder 'Downloads'). When you execute this program it will find the soundcard.
The third option would be that you download just the driver. The following steps are just a guess as I don't have Windows 7 running on any of my computers. Also do I not know the exact English description as my systems have the German ones. Perhaps someone here (Bob?) will be able to help. In any case You will have to go to the system properties, select hardware, then the hardware manager, then your Audio/Video/Gamecontrollers. There you can rightclick on the Audacity soundcard and a menu including 'driver update' will appear. This will guide you through the steps, basically you have to point the update to the location whereto you have downloaded the driver.
I had to use this third option only once in several years with several computers.
Good luck,
Ulrich
