You're a wizard, Jorpho! Everything in DOS runs nice and smooth now. :D Yes, I guess my polish copy of Windows 98 was affected by the bug, as using Himemx and Jemm did the trick, now I have a whooping 614 KB of free space. Tried to run the most crashing game several times (Monster Bash) with …

If you have fiddled too much with your BIOS settings, that might also be causing a colorful variety of problems, of course. Didn't really change this much in BIOS (to tell the truth I only turned on USB support, other than that I only looked for those NMI settings), but nevertheless I loaded fail- …

Yes, of course. Here they are, in the meantime I uninstalled QEMM and cleaned the config and autoexec. And well, the games are still crashing (at least those which I can run). I seriously have no idea what to do. System issue or what? //autoexec mode con codepage prepare=((852) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ …

Well, dang. First the sound card problems, and now this. I didn't know about this issue, as my low memory had only ~550 KB of free space (strangely even with a "clean" autoexec/config, with DOS=HIGH,UMB and devicehigh's used), which wasn't enough for several DOS games (as a reminder - using Windows …

You listed CT4520 twice, BTW. Oh, sorry. :P I meant CT4170, CT4180, AWE64 CT4520 and AWE CT4380. will have suboptimal OPL/Adlib music compatibility. Suboptimal in sense of poor/bad quality or hard to even make it work? What files do you have in your DOSDRV directory, exactly? Are you sure the …

Yes, I literally tried everything, changing the slot, manually assigning all available IRQ/DMA resources to PCI PnP devices - and still nothing. My only guess is that the card became self-aware and simply does not want to work under DOS. :P So generally - thanks for the tips and infos, guys, but …

Hmmm, to tell the truth - there's a SBCFG *.ini file, but not an executable. Yes, the variables section matches the blaster variables in the autoexec. And regarding the card - it's the CT4810 model, this one, to be exact.

P.S. Your English is nearly flawless. Good job. :cool: Haha, thanks. :D Well, did, what you suggested, turned off parallel and serial ports in BIOS, but this didn't really help anything. Running SBTEST results in "Could not reset SB16" error message, and SBLEGACY returns a "PCI device detect failed …

Yes, I managed to get a complete CD with SBPCI128 drivers and utils. Completely removed old drivers and autoexec information, and installed the official, CD ones. And well... still the same thing. This time, however, autodetect finds a SoundBlaster 16 (hooray!) card, on A220, I7, D7. But the end …

I see, thanks for the tip, btw3d! At least I think it supports NMI, because, as I said in the previous post, before installing Win98, I tried to run Rayman Designer on WinME - and it worked with default settings (SBPro, 220, I5, D1). Well, I'll try to fiddle with the BIOS settings and the driver …

Hello everyone! Apologies, if this question was already answered, but I searched and searched, and found nothing. I have a question regarding SoundBlaster PCI128 under Windows98's real mode DOS. I recently got my hands on an older PC - and since I really wanted to play some retro games, without any …
