- I read in the ProAudio Spectrum reference something about this. Check
- the win.ini file for the mvproaud driver section. They say something
- about changing the driver you use. You see, when you start windows,
- it overlays new drivers, and these won't run the DOS apps like TBPRO.
- You have to use drivers that will run the DOS apps. OR, you could
- do the old remove the driver manually trick.
- Anyway, check the doc, it's in there.
