At the startup menu, choose the Command Prompt Only option, and then press . When you install the MS-DOS drivers, the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files in your system are changed. The installation program adds the following statements to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file: SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6 C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM The first two statements set up the environment variables for your audio card. For an explanation of the variables, see "Environment Variables" on page B-5. The third statement runs SBEINIT.COM, which is the Sound Blaster Audigy MS-DOS driver. It is required for the Sound Blaster Audigy card to function properly in MSDOS mode. SBEINIT.COM requires the HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE files to be loaded. If needed, the installation program adds the necessary HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE lines to your CONFIG.SYS file, creating the file if it is not present. On the rare occasion a program does not work with expanded memory, simply add the NOEMS parameter to your memory manager. For example: SB Emulation in MS-DOS/Windows 98 SE B-2

Understanding
the Installation
Program
When you install the MS-DOS drivers, the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files in
your system are changed.
AUTOEXEC.BAT
File Settings
The installation program adds the following statements to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6
C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM
The first two statements set up the environment variables for your audio card. For
an explanation of the variables, see “Environment Variables” on page B-5.
The third statement runs SBEINIT.COM, which is the Sound Blaster Audigy MS-DOS
driver. It is required for the Sound Blaster Audigy card to function properly in MS-
DOS mode.
SBEINIT.COM requires the HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE files to be loaded. If
needed, the installation program adds the necessary HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE
lines to your CONFIG.SYS file, creating the file if it is not present.
On the rare occasion a program does not work with expanded memory, simply add
the NOEMS parameter to your memory manager. For example:
