How mysterious.
Do you still have the manually-configured IRQs in your BIOS? Have you tried toggling the "Plug n Play OS Installed" option?

If you never intend to print, for example, you can probably disable the onboard parallel port in the BIOS and free up IRQ7. If you're not using a modem or a serial mouse, you can disable the onboard serial ports, too.

Okay, so what does Windows Device Manager say about your IRQs? (I forget where that information is, exactly. View->Resources By Type, I think?)ktorpil wrote:What I have is on the signature. Other than that there's a PCI ethernet card. I always disable ports I don't need (it's an old habit)

Eh? [EDIT: Oops, I thought that said without the aid.]fdlchris wrote:I read about the Sound Blaster Live! in many places, having good SB16 Emulation, and being able to emulate the SB16 in pure DOS with the aid of the DOS drivers.
there are no IRQ conflicts or any other hardware problems (I've disabled my onboard sound & MIDI, onboard modem, printer port, serial ports etc..).
