Hi All, I'm desperately attempting to get an old DOS game (Privateer) to run under Win98SE. So far I've been able to create a shortcut to throw me into MS-DOS Mode with a new Config and Autoexec. During boot-up, everything seems to load fine, but when I attempt to run the game, I get no sound. My sound card is a SoundBlaster PCI 512, and here are copies of my config and Autoexec. Config: Device=C:\WINDOWS\Himem.Sys /Testmem=off Device=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.Exe 16384 RAM DOS=high, UMB Autoexec: PROMPT=$p$g PATH=C:\WINDOWS;c:\windows;c:\windows\COMMAND LH c:\mouse\mouse.exe SET SBPCI=C:\SBPCI SET MSINPUT=C:\MSINPUT SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6 C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBPCI512\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM Please note that I'm running the game from the C Drive, so there's no need for CD drivers. So, where am I going wrong? Anyone know why the game won't run with sound? Should there be a line in the Config.sys for the sound card? Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.
