Hi John, Thanks for the information. When I installed my SB Pro I was
having difficulty in running Dr. Sbaitso and as it turned out it was
because of how poorly the Ceative Labs reference manual is written. I
called their tech number first thing one morning and talked to a fellow
that really did not know very much beyond the canned procedures. He did
however refer me to a couple of guys that really did seem to know what was
going on. In the conversation I discovered that Dr. Sbaitso automatically
loaded the TSR SBTalker and according to the manual I needed to do this,
which resulted in a crash. My point is that you might try calling first
thing in the morning and if you do get through and your persistent enough
you will get someone that really can supply you with some answers.
Incidently, I did change the IRQ from 7 to 5 even though I have been told
that this is not necessary. I did have a printer conflict and this
corrected the problem.
If I do buy the Creative Labs CD ROM the people at Zero's and One's, the
mail order house I will buy it from say that they have sold several of
these units and can provide most of the tech support that I might need.
They also tell me that most of their customers have been very happy with
this system. So in general other than the problem you are having you are
happy with the speed and for lack of a better word smoothness with which
the unit loads software? I will be using it for educational purposes such
as encyclopedias, etc. and gaming. Once again thanks for the info, Larry.
