I installed NT 4.0 with SP4 on my system as a second OS and when I put try to put in my sound drivers most of the time they don't work as they are not accepted, and the one time I got the machine to accept the drivers it said there were no conflicts but I heard nothing... It is a Creative Sound AWE64 16Bit card and those are the drivers I downloaded from Creative Web Site.<br>
<br>
Anyone Got Any Ideas???<br>
<br>
Thanks <br>

 
Did you install them right? <br>
Sound can be difficult for some people to install in Windows NT. Insert the Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. In &lt;CDROM_Drive&gt;:\drvlib\pnpisa\x86, right-click PNPISA.INF, and then click Install. Then restart the computer, and logon as the Administrator. If it finds the device it will attempt to install it.<br>

I had the same problem with a Sound Blaster Live sound card. I finally 1) deleted the references to the sound card under Multimedia in the Control Panel; then 2)went through the registry, looking for any kind of reference to sound cards past or present, and deleted every reference I found; and then 3) installed the sound card, using pnpisa, and it worked fine.<br>
<br>
The trouble seems to be that if any bad reference gets in the registry, and Creative seems to be prone to this, only a manual scrub of the registry references will clean ou the problem
 
got it working now people thanks for the suggestions<br>
