Vic: I had this same problem with the SB16 PCI, only with music software. There is a fix: If you'll go to Creative Labs TEch Support web site (www.creativehelp.com), you'll find 2 different DOS driver packages. Actually, they're for Win 3.1 AND Dos both. The one you want is for Plug&Play applications. (Misleading, but the programs are in there.) If you're running under Win98, you'll need to either boot up in DOS, or open a DOS window. There's an install program that will install the SB16 emulators for that session, and also a diagnostic program to make sure that your ports are set to standard. (DOesn't always happen with the SB16 PCI when you install it.) When it's installed, a message will let you know that the SB16 emulation mode is operating. Frenkly, however, this was so tedious that I bought a used SB16 ISA card and use that instead. WRoks fine under both DOS and Win98.
