That makes a lot of sense. I was also using Dos 7.1 from a Windows 98 CD. If I have the problem again, I'll use Dos 6!

Oddly, I had to choose MT32 sound, exit, then rechoose sound blaster. Must have had a corrupt cfg file or something. Thanks for checking though. Back to Dos 7.1 land I go...

When I run setup.exe for Kyrandia on my true dos machine, I get an option for Sound Blaster Pro but no where does it let me check the irq settings, etc. When I run it, the game has no sound at all. It worked fine with my old sound blaster set the same way as my AWE64. Any ideas?

I totally forgot about that bootgui parameter. I might actually reinstall Win98 on my DOS machine again. Thanks for taking the time.

That was it! The Win98 Awe64 driver program updated my system files, and just like that, aweutil installed and worked correctly in DOS. I just ran sys c: from my floppy to get everything back to the no Windows state, and I'm in midi land!

It may come to that. I am installing Win98 on the machine tonight and if I get the same problem, I may have you upload your copy. Thanks for the help.

One possibility.... it does say "Awe32 initialization failure" so I may have the wrong aweutil. Is there one specifically for the Awe64?

Back in February, I tackled a AWE64 value problem that SU3 tryed to help me resolve, but I couldn't ever get it to work properly. I reinstalled the card after my gameport died on my old card and am farther along this time. I am able to run diagnose successfully now, but the aweutil.exe gives me a " …

Nice thought, but that's actually a windows parameter (this is my DOS only system). However, it does seem I lied. :disapproving: Doom is ALSO moving to the right after calibration even though it worked fine 3 days ago. It's not a Descent issue but a Gamepad Advance serial issue that I am going to …

Hi all, I have a dedicated Dos system (Pentium 120) and am having difficulty getting Descent 2 to calibrate properly. I am using the Gravis Gamepad (serial version) and D2 is upgraded to 1.2. I choose calibrate / joystick and it prompts me to calibrate which I do, but even after several attempts, …

Hi, I did in fact already flash the Awe64. I believe there was a utility on the Dell site that I used but it had no effect. I already burned 5-6 hrs trying to get it up and going, but I have replaced the card with my old one for now. Thanks for replying though.

Just a quick note Su3 that I did end up going back to my old card. If I decide to tackle the problem again, I'll give you an update. I really appreciate your effort.

I ran XTGold and did a file search and there was a entry in the root as you expected. The root dir is in my current path statement so I thought you found the problem... however running ctcm /s gave the exact same error regarding Win 95 initialization. I may give this up and go back to my trusty Opti …

Negative. I didnt see the file but just to be sure, I copyed ctcm to a brand new directory. Same error. The version of CTCM I have is v1.08 just in case you are aware of another version out there. Thanks again Gyro

Thanks for the help. Yes, it is in the autoexec.bat as the first and second line. I have it like this Set CTCM=C:\SB16\ C:\SB16\CTCM.exe /s The error I get when typing manually is "Your system configuration has changed. Please run Windows 95 to initialize your system configuration." I can't do that …

Hi everyone - I am working on reviving my P120 to be a Dos only machine for games and I am having difficulty with a Awe64 Value I bought on Ebay. I can get sound effects fine, but any music, even regular SB music does not play on any game. AWEUtil will not initialize and when I run Diagnose, I get …
