GP2 Install Problems. Please Help...

by David Esth » Sun, 09 Mar 1997 04:00:00

I've had GP2 for some time and it would install fine on my old P133 but now
that I have my new computer I can't get it to run properly.
It installs fine but fails to find the soundcard which is an Ensoniq
Soundscape, its the same card that was in my P133 so I can't see what the
problem should be now. I'm also using the latest drivers for it from the
Ensoniq web page.

It says in the readme file that you should enter the IRQ settings etc manually
if this happens but I can't see how and where you can enter the settings
manually, maybe I'm just missing the obvious or something.

I would really appreciate any comments either by email or posted on here. I
never really played it a great deal on my old system because of the frame rate
but now that I have a new 200mhz machine I'd really like to get back into it..

Thanks in advance...-David

If it is Soundblaster compatible try a Soundblaster Card. If you are
playing
fron Windows, try DOS mode.

Absolutely.

I Also have an Ensoniq Soundscape card.   I am able to play gp2 in DOS
or Win 95 with sound.   I am pretty sure that after the install of the
program you should execute the "setup sound" option.  Ensonig sounscape
is one of the choices.  I am at work now (GP2 is loaded on my PC at
Home) so i cant say for sure if this is the exact procedure.  You should
also check Device manager and see if your sound blaster emulation is


tech by trade, I cant have Someone miss out on the GP2 experience.
