Hello Mark, wow, that was quick! For your information: There's a company named "SoftSystem" (resides in the UK, www.softsystem.co.uk) which sells a work-around software. It emulates a wide range of soundblaster cards in a WinNT or W2k environment. Unfortunately this software costs about 40 US-$ so I posted my problem here :-) Have a nice day.
