I just installed an old Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 model CT2290 in a
customers PC. I did not get a "New Hardware Found" message when I installed
the PC. I verified that there were no conflicts in device manager. I
downloaded the file "SBW9XUP.EXE" from Creative Labs site and then executed
the file. I added went to ADD NEW HARDWARE and it found the SB16 card. I
booted and tried went to SOUNDS in Control Panel. I tried to listen to the
Windows Exit sound. The sound would start and then stop. When I double
click on the speaker in system tray it showed the graph/bar for WAVE was
about 1/4 way up. It did not disappear. I had to reboot the computer to get
the BAR for the Wave file to go away.
This system is AMD k6-2 450MHz, FIC 503+ mobo, 32MB PC100 SDRAM and WIN98
SE.
