Subject: | SCOUG-Help: Sound card recommendation? |

I bought a generic sound card based on the ALS-120 at Fry's, then
downloaded the drivers from the Realtek
web site. I then used the Multimedia Application Install to install the
drivers. I selected the directory where I had unzipped the drivers, and
it displayed "Advanced Logic, Inc. Sound Card Adapter, V 1.16.0, 179k".
I clicked on the icon, then on Install. The title bar of Minstall
changed to gray, and there it sat, no CPU activity, no disk activity,
nothing. If I start something else that covers the window, then minimize
it, the Minstall window does NOT get refreshed. I can kill it from the
window list.
Any suggestions? Are there any fixes out for minstall other than FP12?
I am running on a clone system with Warp 4.0, FP12, and a Cyrix MII
333MHz cpu, 64 MB RAM, and LOTS of disk space. The MOBO does have
another sound chipset on it ("PCI Sound Pro"), but I have that disabled
via a jumper since I could not find any drivers for it.
Thanks!
