OK, Thanks for that - now I'm lost.
I've downloaded to the desktop, extracted the files, and attempted to read/install from the XP folder.
Nothing in there gets it installed. Much the same story with the rest. For example;
ISDEL EXE tells me an installable Virtual Device Driver failed Dll installisation;
INST 321 exe - windows can't open file etc. choose a program/website to open.
The only change is: I now have a little speaker type icon on the task bar which if double clicked opens up the SiS 7012 audio utility (sounds promising). Two tabs; config: all options greyed out; Midi: select DLS/SF2 to open, with browse button - pick a location. Probably obvious to you - Scotch mist to me.
Should I be doing things with the run command?
PS I've just been rooting. MS Help and support. Control panel> new hardware>found RealtekAC'97 installing.
I've led it to the desktop file wherein the realtek programs sit, and its installed the SYS file. Now seeking SM BUS controller. Can't find it - don't have a floppy or CD. All stopped.
PPS OK - looked for anything about BUS by browsing. Found BUS controllers - click> window with SiS thingy - warned not signed blah blah hit go> screen goes black - blue letters declare problem encoutered windows is closing down. Restarts - with sound re-instated - I have sound again.
Its works. I'm leaving it alone. Haven't played an audio CD yet though.
Broni - Many thanks for help - Derek
(CD plays fine
