I guess that explains it. LW2 is LiveWire 2 (3 is on the
www.sblive.com website). Livewire is a bunch of programs and drivers
for the Soundblaster live series soundcards.
As for the autoexec.bat, Here's what mine looks like

SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H5 P330  T6
SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS
C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM

My pc came from the factory with a soundblaster live soundcard, but
only the windows drivers and software was installed, not the dos
stuff. Hope this helps.
