Emilio, my MSCDEX is dated 7/23/91. I purchases both Composer Quest and MM Beethoven in March, but neither ran with W30. After upgrading to W31, I deleted both from my hard drive and started over again. I have a Soundblaser (not Pro), which is wired to a receiver in my home/office. Also, the Sony is direct connected to the receiver. I activated the Soundblaster driver in W31, and the CQ and MM Beethoven setup process that I would be using CD audio. After setting them up in W31, they worked. I had some problems, which were that I could access audio once, but if I went back to the application, audio would not work. I started juggling TSR's, and found a cure, although I'm not sure what the cure was. I also had problems when I changed the directory and disk location manually–they wouldn't run properly. When I erased and reinstalled them on the directory and drive I wanted, they worked. I don't know why the manual change did not work. Anyway, I now can "play" MM Beethoven both with audio, and with the midi segments. I still can get CQ to crash occasionally, but I think it has more to do with video. MMB has worked with MSCDEX loaded high and low. I have removed the device=lanman10 from system.ini, as the 3.1 manual says. Sorry I don't have more concrete solutions to your problems, but I just sort of muddled along until things worked. I have bought 4 books on W31 and spent an expensive amount of time here on forums to gather information. By the way, Beethoven is a wonderful product and worth the effort. Robert
