| Sounds like one of those nutty issues...
I've had problems like this before, try these 2 suggestions, they usually always work for me:
1. Go into safe mode & remove everything under "sound, video, & game controllers" & "other devices." Then copy the sound card driver files to the INF folder under the Windows directory. You'll probably have to click view-folder options-and select show all files... since this folder is hidden by default.
2. If that doesn't work, go back to safe mode & remove anything under "sound, video, & game controllers" & "other devices." This time have the sound card drivers available on a floppy disk & rename the INF folder to something like INFX so windows doesn't load whatever drivers are already there. Then when you reboot & Windows finds the card, point it to the floppy for the drivers & hopefully it will work!
Hope this helps!  | |

Hmmmm ..... You should be able to double-click on this file from the floppy and load from there!! | |

| I should be able to but when it starts to load it comes with that missing .cat file. i see the .cat file on the floppy | |

| I would try and download the driver again and see if you have the same problem - if you do I would e-mail the manufacturer and ask them what's going on!! They should be able to point you in the right direction!! | |

| the sound card from hell is now functioning yet I had to skip a lot of the files in the "wizard" setup process.
also, now the system has a joystick device, albeit an invisible one |
