Has anyone ever use this card in DOS? I downloaded the install disk from the Vogons index page and it works great in Windows 98 SE. None of the games I install see it. Is this card too new to run in DOS or am I just missing some things?

You'll need to be more precise. Are you restarting in MS-DOS mode, or are you trying to run these games from an MS-DOS prompt while Windows is running? Because in MS-DOS mode, PCI Sound Blaster cards will only work on older motherboards.

I'm trying to run them through a prompt in Win98se.

Do you have a Legacy device listed in Device Manager?

No sir. It just shows the device and no DOS. I've looked at my old laptop which came with 98 and it's showing it running DOS emulation for it's adapter. So how do I go about finding a DOS emulator for my live card? I looked at the ones provided in the index and they don't seem to be working.

Added precision can often be helpful in cases like this.

Where is it showing this? In Device manager, or what?

Which ones are you looking at? Which one did you download in the first place?
