Have you tried to uninstall all of the AWE32 drivers by the method mentioned
in the readme.txt of the awent40.exe file from Creative Labs? And then reboot
the computer, as mentioned previously? If this doesn't work, then delete all
of the SoundBlaster files, disable pnpisa.sys (unless it is needed by an other
device), remove the sound card and reboot. This should clear the registry.
Next, re-install the sound card...it should not be detected, and start setting up
the SB drivers from the top, starting with pnpisa.sys.

If this re-install does not resolve the problem, then it means a de novo install
of NT. One little misstep with the driver installation for any SB PnP card is
disastrous. The other alternative is to use a different sound card and the TB
Montego II is currently on sale. This is one sound card which has written for
NT and not as an after thought.

Finally, one last question: PnP OS is disabled in system bios setup, right?
