Hello,
- I was given a Dell L500c, 500mhz Celeron, MMX?? pc that had been completely wiped. I did not get any CD's or documentation.
- I installed Win 98, and then a Win 98SE upgrade. No further OS upgrades were made (No internet access).
- I found the drivers for the video (Intel 810 3D AGP video card/chip) and finally the drivers of the Sound Blaster PCI64 onboard soud card/game port.
- Video works fine, and the game port/joystick port works, fine, but I do not get any sound. I tried plugged into exteranal speakers, and then with out plugging in the external speakers. Nothing.
- I have not tried anything further, but had seen a 'Waveset' file on the Dell website from the same location that I got both driver files. Do I need to install this?
- This no sound problem occured with two different games, DOOM and Silent Hunter II.
- I am not real knowledgable on any computer system, much less these older ones, so keep that in mind.
- I may take some cheap non powered speakers from another computer and try them.
- The computer is at another location so I do not have internet access there and only get to it two or three times a week.
- Any suggestiions on what or where to look would be appreciated.

On a separate, though less important problem, I ran DOOM from a CD (did not install on the HD), and it ran in a window using about 2/3 of the screen.
- I tried the options/adjustments within the game, but all that did was get rid of some of the menu bars/status bars within the 2/3 window.

Thanks.
