Need help with Awe64 in DOS CTSB16.SYS - invalid "/BLASTER=A:XXX"ARGUMENT
System is an Athlon 750 MHz, 384 megs ram, Win98
I need some help. I bought a Sound Blaster Awe64 ISA PnP card off someone for older DOS games. Windows works fine with the card. And I was able to get the DOS Diagnose.exe utility to play all of the test music and sounds in DOS. Here's what happening: CTCM.exe (creative DOS PnP manager for the soundblaster card) - loads okay CTCU.EXE (supposed to have something to do with the setup of the PnP manager, I believe) - gives me an error, saying the program can't be run in Win95, when actually it is in full DOS mode (pressing F8 for command prompt bootup only. I don't think this file is important, as long as the CTCM.exe is loaded okay. AWEUTIL won't load without CTCM.exe) AWEUTIL.com - loads okay, no errors CTMMSYS.SYS (sound card driver that loads as a TSR along with STSB16.SYS) - loads okay, no errors, shows up in the mem/c/p listing as loaded CTSB16.SYS - gives me an error, which is what I'm trying to figure. It doesn't show up as loaded in mem/c/p I am trying to get the DOS sound drivers to work, but am running into some trouble. Here is the problem: When the config.sys is loading all the sound drivers, everything loads okay, EXCEPT for CTSB16.SYS, giving me the error invalid "/BLASTER=A:XXX"ARGUMENT I have no idea what can be causing this. Anyone has any ideas? Has anyone been able to get Win98 to run any of the AWE cards okay in full DOS mode (pressing F8 at boot up to boot to command prompt only)? Or Win95, for that matter? Any solutions? Here is a sample of my autoexec.bat and config.sys [Config.sys] DEVICE=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND\DRV\CTMMSYS.SYS DEVICE=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND\DRV\CTSB16.SYS /UNIT=0 /BLASTER=A:220 I:5 D:1 H:5 /WIN95 [Autoexec.bat] c:\ctcm\ctcm.exe c:\CTCM\CTCU /S /W=c:\WINDOWS C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND\AWEUTIL.COM |
