I recently upgraded to a Packard Bell 133 and i cannot get the sound to work
on Nascar1. The Midi works but if i try to autodetect the card the computer
locks up and if i manually insert the numbers from my SET=BLASTER line it
locks up when trying to test the sound. If i try a card it plays this
scratchy noise.
Anyone know what i need to do? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I need this to work so i can try Nascar2!!!!!!

We need a little more information.... What soundcard do you have? What
have you set up for its IRQ & DMA? Do you have problems with other
games?

Get a new computer.
Packard Bell is the worst piece o shit they ever made.
I know cause i have one, and i have lots of problems with it.
If it's only 8Mb then I think you can forget it. Most PB machines use
the MWAVE soundcard/modem card and for some reason it only
runs sound in GP2 with 16Mb, sorry.
I have PB P75 8Mb and the soundcard/modem and gp2 runs
sound just fine.

Not with the factory sound card. It emulates a SB 8-bit mono when not
in Windows. Maybe. If you're real lucky. Their preipherals are always
third rate. Look for it to say Soundblaster 16 on the box when buying
a new pc. Anything less is a MAJOR waste of time. 'compatible' means
you might get lucky and get 2/3 of sound based software to work with
it...
I won't. They are NOT upgradeable in basic hardware easily in any manner.
For memory, you have to buy all new memory. To provide 8m of ram they
supply 4 2m sims! How about leaving a free spot to add memory, hm? And
they usually only have 2 or 3 slots. Lesee, sound card, video card....
oops out of slots. No acm card, no video capture... Good for one thing.
Buy it and use it. Don't expect it to perform very well however. And
don't bother calling tech support.
