Your problem might be that you cant load any config.sys drivers
through DOSSTART.BAT.
If you dont have the real mode drivers in your config.sys, they wont
load when you re-boot to DOS.

Creative have a kludge fix- a program called ctload which lets you
load config.sys drivers through dosstart.bat.  You can get it from the
Creative web site as part of the sbde update.

Syntax is (my drives and folders- insert your own):

C:\sbcd\Dosdrv\CTLOAD C:\sbcd\Dosdrv\SBIDE.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:170,15
C:\sbcd\Dosdrv\CTLOAD I:\VIBRA16\DRV\VIBRA16.SYS /UNIT=0
/BLASTER=A:220 I:5 D:1 H:5

Unfortunately, cant get the thing to loadhigh- it all goes into your
base 640K so you might run out of memory for extreme games.

I don't need to reload my video drivers.
