Hi all,
I've got a few questions regarding running my sound blaster in Dos games,
while running Windows 95.
I want to play a few games (such as Transport Tycoon) but when I run the
computer in Dos Mode, the sound blaster will not work.

I assume that I have to re-install the sound blaster while in dos mode, but
this caused another problem because the computer does not have enough
memory to install the software. (even though I've got 16Mb of Ram)

I am new to computers so I might be missing the obvious.....but I have a
question....if you install anything in  Windows 95 (such as SoundCard) does
this still work while you are in Dos Mode, and if not how do I get around
this problem?

Any help would be appreciated....

Regards
Andrew Mitchell
