Subject: Sound Driver to simulate Sound Card???
Date: 23 Jan 93 04:54:46 GMT

Fellow Users;

    I am looking for a software sound driver to simulate a sound card that
    will play .WAV files through my pc speaker....(I realize it won't sound
    like a Adlib card...but it's better than <beep>)....more specifically, I
    want to use this "sound driver" under windows 3.1 to play them .WAV files.

    Anyone got any suggestions???

It may or may not solve your problem(s) but get the new Microsoft drivers
for the HP DeskJet 500 (v2.1).  Before I installed the drivers that came
with my DeskJet when I bought it, I tried the one that came with Windows
and got random blotches all over a printed page.  The new one works quite
well.

BTW.  I've uploaded that driver to wustl a few days ago.

Get the Microsoft Windows Resource Kit from Microsoft for about $20.  It 
goes into detail on this.  For managing your systems, you may wish to 
review WinLogin (from Microsoft) or RSU.  The latter is shareware and I've 
seen it on CompuServe in the Novell Library Forum

Subject: Is my monitor to blame for loss of red?
Organization: The Ohio State University

Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1993 19:17:47 GMT

Hello windows folks. Before I get on the phone to
complain about my monitor, I'd just like to check that
I am not doing something stupid.

I have 3.1 on a 4Mb 486 33DX. Paradise, SVGA, and 130 Meg.
I have multimedia, installed as part of Creative Labs 
upgrade package. (CD, SoundBlaster Pro etc...)

Every now and then, while running application, or just tooling
around on the desktop, my colors wash out, as if all the red
had been removed. This is annoying, to say the least. This
happens both when the monitor is warm (after a few hours)
and cold (soon after start up). Another clue is that it has
happened in a non-Windows app (from the DOS prompt). 
The monitor is a 14" SVGA capable, NI made by CTX (whoever
they are). 

My thought is that it is a physical prob with monitor. Any
*other* possible explanations would be very welcome.

Even with the /S switch, sharing of a CDROM over a network is problematic.
The usual problem is that only one or two directories and no files appear
in FileManager.  I've seen this with a couple of different networks...
I've not been able to run the MSDNCD viewer reliably over a network.

Well, no one responded to this article, so I decided to just download
the drivers from Logitech and upload them to ftp.cica.indiana.edu
myself.  I rezipped the file into "mw62.zip."  It should be in the
/pub/pc/win3/uploads directory shortly.

By the way, the new Windows driver fixed some nagging problems I've
had ever since upgrading to Windows 3.1...

I am posting this on behalf of someone else.  

This person has an HP Vectra 486/66U with the HP Ultra VGA card installed.
When exiting Windows 3.1 after using 1024x768x265 mode, the computer
crashes.  If a different resolution is selected, the problem goes away.

The computer setup is as follows:

		Vectra 486/66U
		HP Scanject IIc
		400MB SCSI Disk (adaptek controller)
		Ultra VGA card (not that I haen't already told you :)

Are there any different drivers for this card than the ones supplied by HP
and if not does anyone know what chip set they use ? (I am assuming that it
is not the same as the ATI Ultra card).

I recently had a problem with Win3.1 and installing a second HD.
This is a Followup post to that problem.

I have a 386 SX IBM compatible computer that has an Appian Technology
mother board using a modified Quadtel BIOS. This is an Appian Technology
modification and in no way reflects on the Quadtel BIOS.
I would highly recommend against buying any products from Appian
Technology. There is a serious bug in the Appian BIOS modification that
prevents using a second IDE hard disk when running MS Windows as well as
several other software packages.
I contacted Appian Technology technical support and after getting the
run-around for a couple of weeks, they freely admit their BIOS has bugs
and that the programmers have since moved on to other companies. "SORRY"

Their solution was quite simple.... Don't install a second HD.
This was their solution to my problem. I imagine their attitude would be
similar for any products they market.

   I'm sure this is a horrible FAQ, but I have been waiting around a
couple of weeks now, and haven't seen an answer.  So I'm going to
burden the net by asking it yet again.

   My mouse (Z-NIX serial; supposed to be MS-mouse compatible) simply
refuses to behave rationally under Win3.1.  Under 3.0 it was fine, but
when I upgraded, it started doing the jumping back and forth thing.
I'll move the mouse slowly in one direction, and the cursor will go
that way, stop, go backwards, etc.  Fine mouse control is simply
impossible.

   Oddly, this problem is significantly more serious in the horizontal
direction; vertical is almost normal.

   I have done everything I could think of: cleaned the mouse;
shuffled around (and even deleted altogether) MOUSE.COM and MOUSE.SYS;
changed the mouse tracking speed; changed every parameter on the mouse
port (COM1, which it shares with nothing; there is a modem on COM2 and
no other serial device); switched to every (serial) mouse driver that
came with Win3.1; and I even tried separating the mouse wire from the
other wires, in case I was getting interference.

   I tried replacing MOUSE.DRV with the Win3.0 version, but got a
startup error when I tried to get into windows.  So, is there a known
solution to this problem?  An updated driver?  ANYthing?

   Thanks in advance,

			-Gary

As long as he's using Version 2.5, I think he's OK. The licensing

Hi all,

I was hoping some Windows guru could helps me.

I am having a lot of problems with my hard drive hanging
in Windows 3.1. I am not sure if the problem is getting
more frequent or not, but it's a big problem. The last
few times I've used Windows, the hard drive would hang
when I opened Windows. Here's the scoop:

1. typed "WIN /3" or "WIN"

2. Windows begins opening

3. Get wallpaper up on screen

4. Opening .WAV plays.

5. Drive hangs. Mouse still moves, but is hourglass. The
   LED that shows the drive is reading stays on constantly.
   System doesn't recover. Cold boot necessary.

Last night I had to open Windows *5* times to get it to open
successfully. Even then, an hour into working on a MIDI
file, it froze again. Same thing - as 5 above.

I thought perhaps SMARTDRV was the culprit, and after the
4th failure, I REM'd it from the autoexec.bat. Windows
opened, but it hung up an hour later.

I'm running HIMEM, EMM386, and SMARTDRV. No parameters
on the latter two.

I have tried three different virus programs - one is brand
new - and none show a virus. I don't think that's the cause.

Perhaps I need to reinstall Windows. Maybe my hard drive is
going bad. Maybe I should reinstall the whole machine. I
DON'T KNOW!

Any clues, tips, pointers, incantations, rituals, etc. would
be appreciated.

Hi,

	I got a SVGA board last year and was struck because there
is no SVGA driver for windows 3.1. This board is western digital
90c30 based and has 1Meg ram on board.

	I have tried the following drivers on cica apparently for
western digital:

	1) paradise drivers for win31: works but slooooow because
they assume 512k ram on board....

	2) diamond 24x drivers for win31: does not work at all even
those it should.....Their vesa driver works though but for dos only.
One reason I think why the diamond drivers not work could be they actually
are winspeed drivers....Any non-windspeed drivers for 24x out there??


	Also, just wondering is there other 'brand' of board which is
base on the western digital chip set beside those listed about?? I
really wanted to find a better driver:- one that uses all the ram
available.

Thanks for any advice!
