Run the DOS utility and set the cound card to use a different port
I am now triple booting 98se, dos 6 & nt4. I went and used the dos utility and tried to set the port manually and the diagnose.exe gives me an error about the base I/O address setting. What am I doing wrong?
PS: I installed NT4 cause I want to test setting up a server so I can do it down the road when I have the computer I want to host off of.
EDIT: I would use nt for web surfing cause it is waaaaay faster than 98se.
I also just bought a Soundblaster Live 5.1 pci card off ebay yesterday that was shipped today. I might try that with nt and see if it works. Heres hoping. I have to boot up 98 and look at it's settings. Brb
It actually sets the port automatically when I install it and I can't change it just then. However I can change after the install is done using diagnose.exe in DOS but in the nt dos prompt I get an error when I try to do so. It acts like the port is in use or is not there.
I downloaded the nt driver off creative labs site. Yes a NT version is available. That was the driver I used back when I started this topic. When I try to install the driver it tells me that the port is in use by another part of the system. And I don't know how to find out what is using it.
Ok i'm back in nt now. I tried diag in 98se with no luck. However I successfully used it in dos. I believe the diag is dos only as it is the driver for dos.
I just found out that the diagnose.exe is not the program to change the I/O address.
It is the ctcu utility that is on the disk I made. And I just tried to run ctcu and it gave me an error saying it cannot run with share.exe active. How do I turn that off?
To be honest 98se automatically detects the sound card during setup. It configured it for me but I know how to do that even if windows did not do it automatically. I am running NT4 right now.

Use the settings in the Windows 98 device manager, then use them in NT.
And naturally, check to see if something isnt conflicting, its a hardware program to test this, NT4 doesnt have a "Devcie Manager"
Cant you change the IRQ manually though in NT?
Or change the IRQ for the other device thats using it.
Use NT4's and set the IRQ manually
Does the DOS diag program let you change the IRQ?
plus NT Virtual DOS Machine is SHIT (NTVDM)
Try it under DOS or 98SE

Is this a DOS prograM?

I just use the NT4 Soundblaster generic driver than just do a trial and error on the IRQ settings
