So do several games. I think this is because it doesn't check autoexec.bat for the SET BLASTER command? Alternatively, it could be because I was running it through Windows, which tends to hijack autoexec settings on occasion. Windows knows you have a sixteen bit card because you have installed loads of drivers to actually hear anything from your card. Windows sets these to load up on default, and then optimises the settings to get the best results (usually). James Arthur ja...@ar... |
