I need to download a W7 driver for a Sound Blaster CT4870 . I SEE a bunch of sites that supposedly have the driver but end up linking to oddball sites. I don't trust the oddball sites . Would a Vista driver work for W7? I highly doubt an XP driver would work.If a legitimate W7 driver exists for that card it will be on the Creative Labs website or the website of your system manufacturer. DO NOT download DRIVERS from any other sources. If the card and system weren't intended to run Windows 7 why are you doing so? And if you want to try a Vista driver, go ahead. It won't hurt anything.Let me  add this. You should  download for the manufactures site.
Because getting a possible virus is not a way to solve the problem.
Windows 7 should work on the older SB cards.
But is there a real good reason to want to USE that old card? The reason I am wanting to use this old card is that I was given an old computer, my budget is $0.00 and I have this old card which fits the socket. I am wanting to BEEF it up a little bit and have it as a spare.

If it doesn't have Win7 drivers then yer outta luck...
A sound card even if you have no money is a lawn job/garage cleanout away...
