I will try that one.
Don't forget to uninstall the old drivers and in safe mode software first!
I downloaded the 95 driver.
I restarted in Safe Mode. I ran the setup for 513d & selected the "remove" option to uninstall the SB Live files.
I restarted & checked devices. Soundblaster Live was still shown as the preferred device. Is that okay? Do I need to do anything else before installing the 95 drivers?
I'm waiting on advice before proceeding!Quote:
A blonde enters a store that sells curtains. She tells the
Salesman, "I would like to buy a pair of pink curtains."
She selects a lovely pink floral print. The salesman
Then asks what size curtains she needs.
The blonde promptly replies, "Fifteen inches."
"Fifteen inches?" asked the salesman. "That sounds very small -- what room are they for?"
The blonde tells him that they aren't for a room, but they are
for her computer monitor. The surprised salesman replies, "But miss,
computers do not need curtains!"
The blonde says, "Hellllooooooooo! I've got Windoooooows!"
You shouldn't have soundblaster installed, did you remove soundblaster from device manager? (start, settings, control panel > system)
If you did it should not be showing soundblaster as the preferred device.
I have 4 Creative elements there...multimedia interface, emulation, game, & SB Live Value. Do I remove all of those in Safe Mode?
Yes please.
Okay, now what!
I restarted in Safe Mode. I "removed" all the Creative items.
I restarted & the computer started "finding new devices" & installing them.
I am back to SB Live! being the "preferred device". I also have PCI Ethernet Controller with Exclamation Mark & 1 "unknown device" with !
did you install the 95 driver? if so, what did you do?
No, not yet.
I was just surprised to see Windows recognizing Soundblaster after I removed it.
soundblaster has been around since Dos... so windows would know it, just doesn't have all the drivers. So please install the the 95 driver. Then we will sort out your ethernet card which seems to have lost its driver now.
I tried opening the file & got that "Zip file is damaged, truncated, or has been changed...try downloading again. The same message I got earlier when I tried your suggestion. This is the same file I downloaded 11/1.
Sigh!
The file downloads and extracts just fine for me. Are you downloading direct to the windows machine or is it going via a mac ?
I am downloading to my Mac Hardrive. Then I copy it to a cd & "Toast" it. I noticed that you referred me to a uk site. Could that be the glitch?
What is the file name? Is it
sblw9xup.exe
nope, probably file translation problems between mac and windows file types. This is your OSX machine right or one of the OS9's?
Did this happen with previous driver downloads?
Maybe we should fix your ethernet driver first and get this pc on the net
