That basically sorted it, thank you! So obvious now I see it. What I did change though was adding CALL to the start of the liveinit.bat line though. Otherwise the rest of the lines in the PIF didn’t run.

I'm trying to print some stuff from the Lord of the Rings Activity Center under Windows 98SE. I've just been experimenting with PDF Creator and that allows me to print to PDF from the likes of Word or Notepad just fine. However, when I try to print in the LOTR Activity Center a printing dialogue …

Thanks again, but no joy. That .bat is what I’m running separately when I boot into DOS with Phil’s PIF. If I add it into the text as described it makes the other drivers fail to load (Bad command error) and the initialisation of the Soundblaster never launches. I’ve also tried adding the line to …

I’ve followed the steps here - https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Running_Without_CD But it doesn’t work, when I run the command I get the message ‘You must run dagger.exe from the hard drive’. What should I be trying next?

Appreciate the input but this didn't work, when I load up DOS from the .bat it makes no mention of trying to load the Soundblaster Driver and gives Bad command or file name for the previously working CD and mouse drivers. The SB dos drivers are in C:\Livedos so I changed the path to that and it made …

I've been experimenting with the 'Super Easy DOS' Launcher from Phil's Computer Lab, a .pif file that allows for DOS to launch with CD and mouse drivers installed. https://www.philscomputerlab.com/ms-dos-mode-super-easy.html He also has a Soundblaster Live! driver that is installed and set-up in DOS …

Tried switching slots again. Now when I reboot it runs scandisk which sticks on 20% and I have to cancel it, then it tries to install the SB16 driver and I get BSOD! About ready to throw this out the window!!

Oh and system - Athlon xp 2400+ FIC AM39L mono 2 x 256mb 333 RAM S3 Trio V2 PCI VGA NEC USB hub Tried swapping them all around and it hangs still.

Thanks, that CD seems to have worked, everything has installed now! My new issue is that my PC now hangs for ages on boot. After the Windows 98 splash screen has been up it reverts to this. https://imgur.com/a/TGAztGP If I wait long enough it does go into Windows and sound is fine. I’m assuming it’s …

Had a nightmare with this one. I followed the process for an SB Live! SB0100 and I'm now having to reinstall Windows. The drivers failed to install properly, the Creative Media Interface had a ? over it in Device Manager and there were no references to Game/Joysticks in the Device Manager. I did …

This is Windows 98 SE btw, a practically fresh install.

I have an FIC AM39L motherboard that has VIA/S3 integrated graphics, but I can't remove the driver. I had issues installing the driver available on Retroweb as the install process asks for the original CD halfway through and I have to skip a load of files. I've tried versions from other sites too …

Hi all. Just getting a Windows 98 PC build up and running and having some issues installing the chipset drivers for the motherboard. I have a FIC AM39L which I believe uses the VIA KM400 chipset, I have tried to install the software and it fails every time. I have the v524 driver set and when I run …
