Yes, hymen.sys...

When you are solving a strange problem, you try all sorts of things. It's quite possible you are dealing with a hardware issue, but to know for sure you want to eliminate all software components that can possibly affect the environment.

You don't need CTCM in CONFIG.SYS.

You don't need DIAGNOSE or CTCU in AUTOEXEC.BAT.

I don't think any of this should hurt, but it definitely does not help, so maybe it's best to take it out.

I took out the lines out from config and autoexec.bat and now the aweutil says awe initialization failed

Rollback, so that the AWE64 initialises. Ensure you have this file in your:

"C:\Your AWE64 directory\DRV" directory, and you should see a file called CTMIDI.DRV.

There are various versions. Ensure it is the one compatible with AWE64. There should be one somewhere in the VOGONS drivers sections.

No, check that the file physically exists in the above directory and it is the version for the AWE 64.

Check the file date. My working one is dated 6/6/1996. Older ones may work. Check VOGONS drivers - there should be various versions.

Have you ran CTCU - it's a utility, and verified all the AWE64 ports are available without conflicts, including EMU8000 and MIDI ports?

The gameport test is greyed out but that set I/O range 200-207 (with no other choice available to change range) and pic is the wavetable test and the I/O range has no other choice available to change to

Can you type "pause" on a new line in AUTOEXEC.BAT, after the last relevant soundcard entry and post a screenshot?

In your CONFIG.SYS, move all DEVICE= and DEVICEHIGH= entries AFTER DOS=HIGH.

Immediately after DOS=HIGH, add in a new line, DOS=UMB

Post your current CONFIG.SYS.
