Thanks for the help, Mark -- but I'm still having some problems. Below is quoted from your post with added comments by me. > If it is still not working, try changing all of the hardware settings for > the card by doing the following steps: > > 7. You should be able to choose from these settings, * indicate default > settings: > Interrupt Request: 05*, 07, 09 (sometimes), and 10 I tried this, but Interrupt Request is not an option..... it's not even listed or displayed. However, if I select "Select Configuration Manually" it then displays IRQ 5 which conflicts with two other devices on my computer. It will not allow me to change the IRQ off 5 on any of the three devices. But under "Settings" it shows that the IRQ is set to 7. Also, when I use the MS-DOS shortcut to reboot into DOS Mode, it displays "Creative SB16 Emulation Driver, Version 3.06, Creative Audio @ Port 1480, IRQ 11". Does this mean I need to change the 'I' setting in my Set Blaster line to 'I11'? > 4. Change the "Allow LPT Interrupt Sharing" option. Whenever I attempt this the computer completely locks up. It is checked normally, but if I uncheck it and hit "apply", the whole system freezes. > > > > > Dave Barnhart <dbarnhart@cfl.rr.com> wrote in message > news:9eanae$gpa$1@news.creativelabs.com... > > 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.
