Your card emulates a Roland MPU-401 chip, which just does MIDI sounds if I'm not mistaken, and is not needed unless a particular game requires it. I don't know of any games that do though as most let you choose other options like Adlib, SB16, etc. I think the problem is that since ME no longer loads …

Ok, now I know which game you are talking about :) I just installed it on XP, and you do need to use VDMsound. Other than that it works perfectly once it loads, but for several minutes all I got was a black screen. The scroll lock light should be blinking, be sure to give it enough time to load. …

I've never heard of moo, I assume it's a game. I don't think XP uses config.sys since it is based on NT and not DOS like Win98.

I don't know if these are newer than the ones we have been talking about or not but I'll try to find …

I just tried the puzzle and aside from running too fast it works fine. No crashes anyway. I also tried running it with VDMSound again but I can't get past the video mode error. These are two of my favorite games so I'll keep working with them and if I make any progress I'll post it here.

I have not played through the whole game since getting XP but I will try that puzzle and let you know if it works for me.

I have both of the games. Here are my experiences running them with Windows 98 and Windows XP. The 7th Guest - Runs just fine with the DirectX patch.
