SBLive in Win98SE

[bjorland]

Before installing any Sound drivers on Windows 98 SE, windows works perfect with no blue screens. Each and everytime when I install Liverware 3.0, I get a blue screen VMU, EMU101K error on it. I also see that the SB16 under device manager is running on IRQ7, and each time I want to change it, it blue screens. The SBlive is on IRQ9, and my Geforce 440MX is on IRQ11.

When you install the sounds drivers, is it after having done a clean install of Windows? and with the Liveware ... do you get blue during install or when you try to run the installed program?

Disable the SB 16 emulation in Device Manager. Won't need it unless you are running pure DOS games...

Found help on creative's site. There is a problem when you have a coppermine chip with certain versions of the drivers. Any driver between xx.xxx..xxx.615 & 700 gives a blue screen. You need to download the latest, which is somewhere like 714, and edit the registry with a MMX = 1 value.

I must recommend the KX Project drivers. I just recently discovered them, and they work well with my Audigy 2. It's also nice that they update more than Creative does It's better than messing with your current settings all day, right?
