My apologies. Suffice it to say that a clean install works as it should. Perhaps I'll be able to identify the problem now...

Yeah, I have sound when playing a DOS game from DOSBox. Installing a fresh Windows may be the way to go since I keep hitting a brick wall. If that works, I could probably ease back into my old installation and maybe even find the problem. Any idea where Windows 3.1 install disk images may be?

Thanks guys. My MIDI Mapper appears to be configured correctly. I don't think I mentioned it but I not only don't hear digital audio, but .mid files are not playable either. EXCEPT for the fact that when I try to play a .mid file (with the player that came with the drivers) I hear a little "pop" …

Thanks folks. Yeah, I tried all of that. I've reinstalled several times as well as removed all old drivers from the control panel and even removed the actual drivers themselves. Regarding setup.exe, it doesn't appear to deal with the soundcard. Is there any way in Win 3.1 that you can tell what is …

Well, I tried the different System.ini files, only swapping in things that I needed to keep Windows running like the display drives, but there's no difference. I get the same messages and responses essentially indicating all devices are in use. I was hoping it was just a system.ini conflict, but it …

You guys are great! Thanks so much! I downloaded them but probably won't get to analyzing them for a couple days. But I'll post my results after I do. Thanks again!

Would it be possible for someone to copy and paste a System.ini that's configured to work under DosBox? Ideally, one just after a successful stall, but even if not, I could probably figure out where mine is going wrong (assuming that it can be corrected in the System.ini.)

Thanks, Dominus. I took your advice and removed anything that looked like it might be conflicting but no change. The thing is that I would have thought (and hoped) it would be a driver conflict since my original setup had different drivers to start. But I removed them and anything else that looked …

I searched all over before making this post...The posts I found were folks who were pretty much not installing the right drivers. My problem's a little different. I pulled my old hard drive and copied my old Windows 3.1 files into my new PC, and configured it using DosBox, loading the proper Display …
