Hi,
Create a new autoexec.nt file and save it to the \windows\system32 folder.
Click start/run and type notepad, then click ok. Copy/paste the below code
into it (instead of typing it in to prevent errors), then click file/"save
as". Navigate to the C:\Windows\system32 folder, change the "save as file"
type to "all types" and name the file autoexec.nt, then click save (if
prompted to overwrite the existing one, do so). Reboot when completed.
@echo off
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3
