I'm trying to get some SB Emulation in Win2k so that I can run some old DOS games - which ones? Why Doom2, Quake, and Duke Nukem 3D of course.  However, Creative tells you how to set it up for Win9x, but their little program won't dump the drivers on a Win2k system. I realize that Win2k doesn't use DOS the way Win9x systems do, but I just need to get SB Emulation so I can have the sound on these games (Can't live without "It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum"). Anyone familiar with how to get sound up and running for this? I tried to load all the drivers on a Win9x system, then port them to Win2k and edit some of the files and setups so that things would load correctly, but no go.
Any thoughts?

You can't load the dos drivers in win2k but maybe the emulation still works...I'll try to play Duke Nukem later and see if I can figure it out

I'm not sure about win 2k, but cann't u just boot in Dos and play? I'm not sure if this would work, just a sugestion.

Unfortunately, Windows 2000 does not have "real" DOS mode, and unless you are dual-booting Win98/Win2K, you can't exit to DOS in Win2K, because as I said, it does not have real DOS mode.
DOS emulation is dicey ... most DOS games try to load SB emulation through the config.sys and/or autoexec.bat, which run during startup. Since DOS Emulation is initiated within the Win2K - I mean, there isn't even an SB Emulation option in the Device Manager, so it wasn't meant to work in Win2K...
I may be wrong of course, but that's how I see it ... Win2K was not designed with DOS games in mind...

I think Canis is right.
