When installing the software, make sure you select 'soundblaster pro',
with a port address of 220 (if yours is set to the default).

If it's the default software, you *should* have a line in your
CONFIG.SYS like so :-

DEVICE=C:\PANA\CDMKE.SYS /SBP:220

not

DEVICE=C:\PANA\CDMKE.SYS /P:300

- if it is as directly above, then it is not expecting to find the
drive on the end of your sound card - change it to the first method
listed, and you might find it will solve the problem.

Any more problems, mail me direct ....


Dan.
