-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The first thing that comes to my mind is to re-install the Sound Blaster drivers but before you do this it would be best if you can have a hardware voice synthesizer connected to your computer and set JFW to Load Before Start-up and set JFW to work with the hardware synthesizer, you'll need this setting so that JFW can walk you through the "ADD NEW HARDWARE WIZARD" when the computer re-starts (more of this in a few moments).
Be sure to have your CD with your sound blaster drivers handy or download them from the net The best way I know of to re-install your Sound Drivers under Windows 98 is to go into the Device manager by going into the Control Panel and selecting System I think it is (been a good while since I've used Windows 98) and then select the device manager. I think you press tab once to display a tree-view which contains branches to your various devices, navigate down the view and you'll find your Sound drivers somewhere in the tree, when you locate them press the delete button and then the ok button. The system will most likely come up with a message saying that the system settings have changed and do you want to re-start your computer, select "Yes". When Windows starts the "NEW HARDWARE FOUND" message should appear and you'll be walked through the steps of installing the Sound drivers, you'll be prompted to insert your CD or specify the location for the Sound drivers (as I haven't used Windows 98 for some time I cannot give you much details as to the sequence of events, dialogs etc which appear at this point (my memory ain't that good <smile>) See if you get any errors after this.
