Configuration Utility (ICU), this driver and utility set was developed by Intel Corporation as an interim solution to facilitate PnP configuration when a PnP operating system is not available. It may come pre-installed in your PC or bundled with your PnP cards. However, due to the compatibility problem mentioned earlier (please refer to the note in the section "PnP Concepts" on page 12), you may encounter one of the following error message or problems when you use ICM version 1.43 to configure your PnP card: u "Error: Failed NVS write, Error=82h" u Failure to detect PnP BIOS machine u Failure to assign new configuration to PnP card And ICM may not be able to configure your PnP card properly. Creative's Approach to PnP To solve problems similar to those mentioned in the previous section, we have developed a DOS-based PnP configuration driver and utility for the DOS/Windows 3.1x environment. They are called Creative PnP Configuration Manager (CTCM) and Creative PnP Configuration Utility (CTCU). CTCM can be loaded as a device driver through a statement in the CONFIG.SYS file. It can also be run from the DOS prompt. It configures Creative PnP cards only and provides configuration information to other drivers or DOS applications. CTCU is used when your DOS/Windows 3.1x system does not have ICM and ICU. It allows you to perform the following functions on the devices in your system: u Enter, view, change or remove the settings of legacy cards u View, change, or disable the settings of Creative PnP cards u View the settings of system devices and non-Creative PnP cards 14
