Thanks for refreshing my memory. Have been using Turtle Beach Montego II
sound cards lately.

Creative Lab's instructions are somewhat vague and it has been that way ever
since the original awent40.exe files were generated years back. Reference to
the "default driver" for 3D enhancement probably refers to a file in the WinNT
distribution cdrom. The 3D Stereo Enhancement feature is a component found
in the volume control (mixer) panel.

To do the SB AWE32 installation again, follow the instructions to remove
the "old", i.e., existing drivers, and try reloading the drivers again. Keep the
NT4 cdrom in the drive. When asked for the "NT default driver", you may
have to browse to find it. A good starting point is \drvlib\audio\sbpnp\i386.
One cannot omit any steps or error messages will continue to appear. That
was the way it was, and still is, with the Sound Blaster cards.

Good luck.
