Hello all!
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for getting sound working on an old PC I acquired from my job. It's a MicronPC Model D810E2-FLEXLP. I installed 98SE and got it working, however the only thing that I cannot get working is the sound. I did a ton of googling, and found the alleged drivers for the onboard sound of the board, an Intel D810E2CB, but when I go to install them, a white error box comes up stating that msgsrv32 has encountered an error and needs to close, and refuses to let me install the drivers. I have tried several things, including unknown devices etc, and it just won't allow me to install the driver. Any ideas?
Also I think instead of a BIOS battery, there is a 6.3v 3300uf cap on the board that has failed and my bios won't save settings on disconnecting it from power. If I replace this cap, is there a threat to the bios being erased or anything like that?
