Understanding the Installation Program in Windows 98 Second Edition: Sound Blaster Live! Value Sound Card User's Guide

OverviewThe AUTOEXEC.BAT File SettingsThe CONFIG.SYS File Settings

Overview

The installation program modifies your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.

The AUTOEXEC.BAT File Settings

The installation program adds the following statements to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS

SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6

C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM

The first two statements set up the environment variables for your audio card. For an explanation of the variables, see "Understanding the Environment Variables" in the section "Using the Sound Card".

The third statement runs the SBEINIT.COM driver. SBEINIT.COM is the SB Live! MS-DOS driver. It is required for the SB Live! Value card to function properly under MS-DOS mode. The syntax for the statement is as follows:

<SB Live! path>\SBEINIT.COM

SBEINIT.COM requires that the HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE files are loaded. If needed, the installation program adds the necessary HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE lines to your CONFIG.SYS file, creating the file if it is not present.

On the rare occasion a program does not work with expanded memory, simply add the NOEMS parameter to your memory manager. For example:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS

if C:\WINDOWS is your Windows directory.

You may load this driver into high memory in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, even though the default is not. For example:

LOADHIGH=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM
