I have told you before, the installer you gave me won't run in win32, but it's to smart and wont run in the dos shell of win32, and, dos6.22 can't see fat format drives so I can't use a bootdisk to install it!
I could do a dual boot after partitioning my drive for dos6.22 I have 3,970 mb left I could split it and give the other half to a dos partition.
why are you running that crap in a dos shell? you need to boot into REAL DOS, not DOS in a window under windows!
why don't you select "command prompt only" from the bootup F8 menu?

That's because you downloaded the wrong drivers. For DOS7 you'll need the drivers labelled "Basic DOS-level utilities for use in Windows 95 MS-DOS mode or a Windows 95 Command Prompt only boot".
Here is a google search which will point to the drivers on Creative's site.
These just seem to be utilities, see below,
* PLAY.EXE v1.03
* RECORD.EXE v1.03
* AWEUTIL.COM v1.35
* DIAGNOSE.EXE v4.04
* MIXERSET.EXE v2.15
Oh, also @TheMAN I did try the other drivers in command prompt only and got the same result.
Ok, so how did you manage to get the drivers installed originally? You keep going back and forth and not following our instructions... you're getting me all confused!
Okay, I was able to install the windows 9X drivers, I have yet to sucessfully install the dos drivers, when I run doom I only get sfx because the windows sb16 drivers are not what the games requires and I really need dos drivers, but as you can see installing dos drivers on top of win9x has been a hassle.
ok, then you need to download the full installer which installs all the windows apps:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?gmjiz0mkgzg
unzip and put them to 4 floppies
run the installer, READ CAREFULLY what it says in it... it will have a selection for the windows directory... make sure you change it to "NONE" so that it doesn't do anything to windows... it's not my fault if you don't do this and b0rk your win98
yes, it'll install win3.1 apps and crap you don't need, but it will have the DOS drivers you need... installer is more stupid and should run fine even in DOS 7.1... I did a test install a week ago on another similar creative installer and it worked fine
YOU MUST INSTALL CTCM FIRST BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS!!!
Does this include ctcm? Or will I have to track that down?
Do I copy the arj file to the diskett also for just the folders?
Okay, doom still says my irq is set to high and it wants me to manually edit my sound card's irq.

On the top right of your posts, theres this very tiny 'c'. Press it so you can edit your old post. You don't need 3 separate posts to post 3 lines of text.
HAHHAHA you made my day... you don't know what an ARJ file is? Ok, it's like a ZIP or RAR file, only nobody uses it anymore and it's old skool like ZIP.... you need to extract the thing and it'll be in 4 separate directories... copy each directory to each floppy, files ONLY, NOT the directory with it
and like I said... you need to install CTCM first!!! what makes you think it'll come with it when I said that?
the answer is NO, it doesn't come with it, and you must install it first! you already downloaded it, so install that crap first!
I can't find it, I did a Google search and I couldn't find it!
find what?
damn near everything can unarj ARJ files these days... nobody is telling you to do this in your retrobox... do it in your main system and put them on floppys there!
I know how to open arj files!
then what is it you can't find?
you need to stop being so vague or we can't help you
I am wondering how to Acquire ctcm.exe
We've told you that already, you need to download the CTCMBBS.EXE package from the Creative web site..... 😒
Despite my better judgement I'll even host it for you, download it from here
donutking: can you please shoot me in the head?
