re: emm386.exe Tuesday, December 30, 2003 at 12:06 pm Posted by m.lawrence (1 messages posted) Based on the info you've given,sounds like your sound card drivers are in a tizzy.You can try this:Go to desktop and right click my computer and navigate to the device manager tab.Look for the group "sound,video and game controllers",expand the group and look for creative sb.Remove the device from your machine,reboot,and when windows redetects reinstall the drivers.Hope that helps,if not post back.

Start/run type msconfig>click config.sys. See if emm386.exe has been remmed out or has a semi-colon in front of it. If so edit with notepad.
