Thanks for the help, Mark -- but I'm still having some problems.  Below is
quoted from your post with added comments by me.

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.
