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: DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS You may load this driver into high memory in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, even though the default is not.

SB Emulation in MS-DOS/ Windows 95/98/ME
Understanding the
Installation Program
The installation program modifies your
AUTOEXEC.BAT
and
CONFIG.SYS
files.
The AUTOEXEC.BAT
±ile 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\SBLIVE\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 SB Live! MS-DOS driver. It is required
for the SB Live! card to function properly under 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:
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
You may load this driver into high memory in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, even though the
default is not. For example:
LOADHIGH=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM
Do not remove the memory manager altogether. Do not attempt to load SBEINIT.COM into
high memory when using the NOEMS option if SBEINIT.COM fails to run SBELOAD.EXE or
SBECFG.EXE. In the rare case that an MS-DOS game will not work with a memory manager,
you will not be able to use the SB Live! card with the game.
