I have a 486 dx2-66 clone system, 3 slot VLB, runs great. Mouse on com1, modem on com 2. IDE and video cards are VLB. Everything works great, Doom runs full frame, etc. But: my soundblaster card does not work with Windows. I have tried everything. It is the soundblaster 2.0 - the old one, mono only, i got it on sale for $27. Ok, I know, you get what you pay for. But it really ought to work. Windows thinks no drivers are installed. I have run from windows the install program c:\sb\win31\winsetup and also tried manually reinstalling the drivers. This is driving me crazy. And it is all such regular stuff, it ought to 'just work'. I changed the IRQ on the card and in my autoexec, reinstalled the whole thing, still no sound. Tried again with orig IRQ but diff setting on the i/o address (240 not 220) and still no sound. Argh! What can I do to fix this? Any advice? I need to use this card, it is someone elses system (a schools, actually) and there is no $ for some fancy sound card. Thanks, kevin KevinSinclair@computer.com
