first install the Windows 95 drivers; then you must install the

4. It will then detect the gameport joystick followed by the SoundscapeVIVO
Sound Blaster emulation
Please note: The joystick driver will need to come from the
Windows 95 install media or if already installed, Windows 95 will
automatically copy the driver for you.
If Windows 95 does not detect the SoundscapeVIVO Sound Blaster emulation or asks
you to re-boot before it detects the Sound Blaster emulation, there is a conflict
in the system. Please refer to the section titled "Driver Configurations."

Installing the Application files and DOS Mode compatibility
Before continuing with your installation, you need to try playing both a .WAV file
and a .MID file using the media player program to be sure that your Soundscape card
is functioning normally. If both files play, continue with these installation
instructions. If either file does not play, please contact Gateway technical
support to trouble shoot your installation.
