Un-ignored: this is the working copy the emulator actually boots (patched BTL4OPT.EXE v4 lineage + .orig/.nop14/.pre_idle/.pre_limit backups, TESTARN.EGG arena1 test egg, REL410 BT+RP trees, VGL_LABS pod boot bats, VWETEST factory test suites, SB16 Creative utilities).

Creative PnP Configuration Manager Readme File
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
This file contains important information regarding the installation
|
|
of Creative Plug and Play (PnP) cards using Creative PnP Configuration
|
|
Manager (CTCM) and Creative PnP Configuration Utility (CTCU).
|
|
Please read all the sections here before you proceed to install
|
|
this configuration driver and utility set.
|
|
|
|
The information here is organized into the following sections:
|
|
|
|
1. Configuring Your Card in Windows 95 DOS Mode
|
|
2. If You Have Another Configuration Manager
|
|
3. If You Have Legacy Cards In Your System
|
|
4. Incompatibility of CTCU.EXE with SHARE.EXE
|
|
|
|
NOTE: For more information on using CTCU or CTCM, please refer
|
|
to the sections "Using CTCM" and "Using CTCU" in your manual
|
|
or "DOS/Windows 3.x & Windows 95 DOS Mode Plug and Play
|
|
Installation Tips" leaflet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. CONFIGURING YOUR CARD IN WINDOWS 95 DOS MODE
|
|
|
|
To enable your PnP card to work properly in a Windows 95 DOS Mode
|
|
session, you need to do two things:
|
|
|
|
a. First, make sure that this card is configured properly in the
|
|
windows environment of Windows 95.
|
|
|
|
b. Next, run CTCM in a Windows 95 DOS Mode session.
|
|
CTCM will configure your card according to the settings given
|
|
in Windows 95.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To check whether your PnP card has been properly configured in
|
|
Windows 95:
|
|
|
|
a. Click the "My Computer" icon in Windows 95 with your right mouse
|
|
button. A shortcut menu will appear.
|
|
|
|
b. Choose the "Properties" option. The Properties dialog box will
|
|
appear.
|
|
|
|
c. Select the "Device Manager" tabbed page. A list of the devices
|
|
in your system will appear.
|
|
|
|
d. Select the right device type, e.g., "Sound, video and game
|
|
controllers", "Modem", or "CD-ROM controllers". A list of all
|
|
the devices in that category will appear. Your PnP card is not
|
|
properly configured if you see a yellow "!" sign on the card's
|
|
icon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To reconfigure your PnP card in Windows 95, if you see a yellow "!"
|
|
sign on your PnP card icon:
|
|
|
|
a. Click that device and check its device status to find out what
|
|
went wrong. Solve the problem and then restart your computer in
|
|
Windows 95 to reconfigure your card.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER CONFIGURATION MANAGER
|
|
|
|
CTCM can work with or without another configuration manager in your
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
However, if you already have a different configuration manager
|
|
installed in your system, you should check your CONFIG.SYS file
|
|
after installing CTCM. Please make sure that the statement which
|
|
invokes CTCM is placed after the statement that calls the other
|
|
configuration manager.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. IF YOU HAVE LEGACY CARDS IN YOUR SYSTEM
|
|
|
|
CTCM configures Creative PnP cards only.
|
|
|
|
If you have legacy cards in your system, you need to run CTCU
|
|
first, to inform CTCM about the hardware resources used by these
|
|
legacy cards. After that, you can run CTCM to configure your
|
|
Creative PnP card.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, if you do not know your legacy cards' settings, you
|
|
can use CTCU to change the settings of your PnP card. Then run CTCM
|
|
and test whether your card works properly. This is a trial-and-error
|
|
method since CTCM will not be "informed" about the resources that
|
|
have been reserved by your legacy cards. You may need to try different
|
|
combinations of settings before you can configure your PnP cards
|
|
successfully, without any hardware conflicts with existing cards.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. INCOMPATIBILITY OF CTCU.EXE WITH SHARE.EXE
|
|
|
|
If you load SHARE.EXE on your machine and then run CTCU.EXE in
|
|
Full-Screen mode, CTCU will not load successfully. The reason for
|
|
this is that the SHARE.EXE file has been opened by the
|
|
Overlay Manager and because of sharing restrictions, the Resource
|
|
Manager will fail when it tries to load CTCU.EXE.
|
|
|
|
If SHARE.EXE is loaded, you will have to unload SHARE.EXE before
|
|
running CTCU.EXE in Full-Screen mode. To do this you will need to
|
|
comment out the line that loads SHARE.EXE in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
|
|
and then reboot the machine. If you had run SHARE.EXE from the
|
|
command line and not from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you do not need to
|
|
change the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, but you still need to reboot.
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
-----
|
|
CTCU.EXE will successfully run in silent mode even if SHARE.EXE is
|
|
loaded.
