Hello, I bought "new" Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 (SP4320, PS432E) laptop for early WIN and DOS games. After basic cleaning/disassembling/assembling it runs great. It has good DOS sound compatibility but problem is, that it has WinXP installed. I'd like to install fresh Win98SE but I don't have …

I'm in the same boat debating on whether it's worth it to run two V2s. I'm wondering if games that take advantage of the two aren't capable of running in OpenGL or D3D instead if they even need SLI for higher resolutions, etc. Have a win98 system with a diamond viper and 2x monster3d V2 SlI cards. …

In that case it sounds like a buggy config tool that set one thing in the hardware and subsequently put something else in the BLASTER variable, resulting in no DA in applications that used the BLASTER variable rather than asking you to manually configure. Just a bit puzzled in that case why it did …

Previously you had IRQ 7 in your BLASTER variable, now IRQ 5. If you had an incorrect IRQ selected, that could explain why music (which only uses the base address) worked but digital audio (which needs the interrupt) did not. Big question is what you actually selected when configuring the card. The …

This message sounds like an interrupt conflict. I expect the CT2290 to be a non-PnP card, so you should make sure that the PCI/PnP page of the BIOS setup has the SB16 IRQ (most likely IRQ5) blacklisted for PCI resource assignment by configuring it as "Legacy ISA" Yes i tried that. Been into Bios …

That's second gen alright. Relevant quote here: The AZT1605-U05 DSP version reports 2.x which causes software to detect only a Sound Blaster 2.0 and play back only mono digitized sound effects. This is because the DSP version of a SB Pro is at least 3.01. Games that let you configure stuff manually …

Not familiar with that game's setup but, sometimes there is a configuration file that you can edit to overwrite the settings. You can also try (in your Autoexec.bat file) to change the sound card type from T4 to T3. Chasm can't be setup, it detects all hardware when game starts. Yes going to change …

Try installing the Intel graphics drivers. If using the Windows drivers then you are likely using the OGL->D3D wrapper built into windows. IIRC, Windows only allows it for certain games and Quake 3 is one of them. You can check inside of Quake 3 and it show the driver being used as well as the …
