I'm trying to install a Soundblaster 16 P'n'P (Model #CT 2980) onto a VESA 
mainboard with an Intel DX2/66 CPU W/16megs of ram and a WD 610meg HD; with  
Windows '95B as the operating system.

The card works but in the device manager there are extra entries.  Each has a 
yellow question mark.  

It seems to find two Soundblaster cards.  It finds a Sb16 P'n'P and installs 
the drivers and then it finds a SB32 AWE card and tries to install the drivers 
but it isn't able to find the correct drivers so I have to just click on "OK" 
and the boot-up finishes and I have sound but I still have the entries with the 
yellow flags.

A couple of times, when I checked the device manager, there were also entries 
under "other devices."  These also had the yellow question marks.

I've removed all the entries and rebooted and of course it finds new hardware 
and installs the software; again, installing everything at least twice and not 
being able to find the drivers for some.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.
Jerry
