I just looked through my stuff and I have the following: SB16: CT2230 CT1770 Which of these would be the best / cause me the least problems or are the both the same really? I would have liked to use the AWE32 for for better sounding music but it is just causing too many problems which I cannot seem …

Windows 98 is not reporting any conflicts. I tried running the Setcard.exe in that package and it could not detect my card at the base I/O port that I know that it is at or at any of the selections. Is that setcard.exe in the file you directed me the correct one for my card or does it work for all …

Also, just had something else happen. I left the computer on, in DOS running the MOO menu program. After quite a while of just being left there a message came up saying "Sound card not found. Reboot - run setup". I guess something is really wrong. Wish I knew what it was! Think I will have a look …

I turned off PNP OS in the BIOS and have dedicated a specific IRQ for legacy devices. I ran Diagnose and set the IRQ to 7. Games will now use IRQ 7 and it seems to be staying set to that. But I am now having a few issues with lock ups in games and a graphical glitches in Shadow Warrior. Also I am …

When I ran Diagnose before in DOS I chose IRQ 7 and it didn't tell me it couldn't do it. I then rebooted and games were working when I selected IRQ 7. Then a few days later when I started up those same games wouldn't work with IRQ 7 only 10 and I don't think I had changed my autoexec.bat. So does …

I already used the Diagnose program and it did modify the autoexec.bat but Diagnose sets the IRQ to 10 when I tell it to auto detect it. Does that mean it thinks there is something else in my system using IRQ 5 or 7 and it can't use either of those? Can I/should I force Diagnose to choose 5 or 7?

Thanks everybody. So, with this card everything is handled in the autoexec.bat? Maybe I need to check my autoexec.bat then. I am at work right now so can't post it. I am running the DOS that comes with Windows 98 (is that 7?) if that makes any difference to anything. What do I need in my autoexec. …

AWE32 IRQ Questions

in Marvin \ General Old Hardware

I have an ISA AWE32 in my machine. When I run Diagnose.exe it says my IRQ is 10. Am I right in assuming that in order to avoid problems with the sound setting in some games that an IRQ of 5 or 7 is preferable? I already encountered one game that said it couldn't use an IRQ of 10, although a lot of …

I have it hooked to a 17 inch CRT. The Matrox site is where I got the drivers about 12 months ago so I don't think I have a problem there.

So I need to REM out this then? SET MGA=C:\MGA\SETUP\ c:\mga\setup\vbetsr c:\mga\setup\vbesetup So as far as DOS goes is SDD going to be better that the Matrox drivers?

So, when I get back home I will uninstall the current SDD. And then install SDD for DOS only. Thanks for the advice.

Ok, thanks. So I should install the version of Scitech that is just for DOS and uninstall it from Windows? I had a computer back in the DOS days but I never did have Scitech so this is new ground for me. I got the Scitech installs from a link posted here and I noticed there is a version just for DOS …

Thanks. I don't know how I managed to install the wrong drivers for that card. Doh! What was I thinking! That's awesome though. All of the soundblaster drivers in one download!

I'm not at my computer right now. But I don't think there was an AWE64 folder. Which is weird because I thought I had used an install package for AWE64. I could be wrong though, I set this up about a year ago and haven't really used it till now. Maybe I need to get the installer for the CT4520 AWE64 …

I can get my joystick to work in Windows 98 SE on my retro machine but when I try and use it in DOS it is not detected. I am running an ISA AWE64 model CT4520. There are no other sound cards or game ports other than this card. I was thinking that maybe I am missing something in the autoexec or …

Hi, I just installed Scitech Display Doctor 6.53 for Windows. I am using 98SE. In Windows the Scitech icon on the taskbar always has a red line through it. When I click to enable Scitech it says it needs to restart the computer to do so. When Windows restarts it has a red line through it again. My …
