- I have an AdLib card installed on my system (I know it's correctly installed--
- I've used it many times before).
-
- I'd like to be able to use the Windows 3.1 beeps and boops and other Sounds
- located in both the Sounds folder in the Control Panel and in the Sound
- Recorder under Applications...
-
- I clicked on the Driver's icon under Control Panels, clicked on 'ADD' and
- clicked on AdLib, bringing up the 'Insert Windows 3.1 Disk #2 (or #3) into
- drive _____' which I promptly did. It seemed to copy all the necessary files
- and the 'Midi Mapper' icon even became available to me under Control Panel.
- I then clicked on the Sounds icon in Control Panel, and all the sounds were
- shadowed, ie. I could not click on any. The Test option was also shadowed, so I
- couldn't click on it. I then tried entering Sound Recorder under Applications
- and it told me that 'Sound Driver is not installed-- go to the Drivers option
- under Control Panel and install a Driver'.
-
- BTW, I DID restart Windows before attempting the Sounds icon or before using
- the Sound Recorder (or trying to use it, at least).
-
- My question is as follows:
-
- What is wrong? How do I enable system sounds (I tried running Sounds and Sound
- Recorder with the Enbale System Sounds option X'ed and not X'ed {this option is
- also under Sounds} and nothing works)??? My system is as follows if it makes
- any difference:
-
- 386DX-40 with 4 Megs Ram
- EMM386, NCache (Norton's Disk Cache), Dos 5.0 and an ADLIB CARD
-
- Thanks in advance--Dan K
