So I watched a lot more YouTube videos and did more research on Windows compatibility and bought a SB AWE64. Not the gold version, I have no use for RCA jacks. I considered the AWE32 but that card is huge and DOS basically sees this card as an AWE32 anyway. But yeah, this one has excellent Windows …

I added the suggested lines to system.ini, no change. Config.sys and autoexec.bat are blank, does anything need to be in these files when booting to Windows? I checked the environmental variables and BLASTER is present and correct, but SOUND is not present. The only thing I potentially see wrong …

So I moved the IRQ, rebooted, error is gone. But the SB16 with the Microsoft drivers still has the below error. I also tried toggling the joystick port jumper, with no change. I also tried searching again on the Windows 98 CD, and got the expected message saying the best driver is already installed. …

I have several DOS games that run in VGA mode but the spacial resolution is less, more like 320x200. My AGP card scales this up to 640x480. I am using a real CRT monitor but was wondering if it's possible to skip every other line in software so each physically drawn scanline on the screen …

Windows is detecting the correct resources ( I checked everything under the resources tab). I'll try uninstalling the card in device manager and attempt with the newer Microsoft drivers from 1999. I also searched for 1740 specific drivers and didn't find any. Otherwise I guess I'll re-enable the …

You shouldn't need creative drivers, the ones supplied with Win98 should work fine. Try manually searching for the SB16 I just tried this. I removed the SB16 and game port controller from device manager and used the Add New Hardware wizard. I selected Creative then Sound Blaster 16 or AWE32. I then …

I don't have an ESS card installed, just the CT1740. That's what confused me when I saw Windows install it as a Diamond ESS card. I disabled the onboard PCI sound chipset and I know it's disabled because IRQ 5 is no longer conflicting. Focusing on getting this working in MS-DOS mode, I followed this …

I have a period correct Pentium II Compaq with Windows 98SE installed. It has an onboard PCI sound chipset that works perfectly, but my goal is to get a Sound Blaster 16 installed and working for DOS and Windows CD-ROM games (if both is possible, according to what I have read it is). I bought a non- …
