Hello,
I disabled the on-board audio on a PCchips mobo because it was not working and causing some other problems. Afterwards, everthing went back to normal except that there was no sound, naturally. I had an Esoniq 1370 - PCI 3000 sound card that came out of a Gateway 2000 computer so I installed it using drivers that I downloaded from drivers.com. Now there is sound...but it comes with a problem!!
The sound works with Windows sounds, plays audio cd's, plays downloaded music (MP3's). But, it keeps wanting to install more options---just before Windows98se opens on the desktop I keep getting this message box:
"The Creative SoundBlaster PCI64 driver cannot load MIDI waveset. MIDI waveset has been disabled."
Then I have to click "OK" for Windows to open. (This is as bad as the Logon password box!!) How do I get rid of this??
Once inside Windows, a tool icon for the mixer has been placed in the Task bar (beside the clock) --at startup--and will not go away. I uncheck it in misconfig/startup and it just keeps coming back. I even deleted it from Windows/System. How do I get rid of this ??
In Device Manager: There are yellow exclamation marks at---
Creative Gameport Joystick. Under Properties this is showing, "This device cannot find any free I/O range resources to use (Code 12). "
Also at Sound Blaster PCI64 Legacy Device. "This device cannot find any free DMA resources to use (Code 12)."
And, now when Windows opens, the Task Bar will not stay hidden. It is being unchecked in Taskbar Settings by Windows.
I think this is it for now. All help and advice will be greatly appreciated!!
